Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 59 and 58: How many bowls did I eat? (and more in the evening)
He found a secluded place to tie up the horse, carried the beef and mutton, carefully crossed over, and stood at the entrance of the valley.

Nothing has changed here since I left yesterday. It is still completely silent, with only the occasional bird calls.

Li Cunxiao was very careful. He turned his hands into tiger claws and dug into the mountain wall to confirm that there was nothing unusual in the valley. Then he picked up the pork, beef and mutton and came to the lake.

This is the bait he prepared.

It's not that you can't kill a few monsters in the mountains and bring them back, but the monster meat contains abundant blood and energy. If the water goblin eats it and becomes excited, some accidents are inevitable, which will harm you instead.

On the contrary, these pigs, cattle and sheep are ordinary livestock, so you can just eat them without worrying about them "helping the enemy".

Of course, if the other party is not interested in ordinary livestock at all, then Li Cunxiao can only consider himself unlucky, skip the stage of gathering intelligence, and go back directly to ask Zhang Lishi for help.

Place the pork and beef in a straight line a little further away from the lake.

Li Cunxiao stood far away, his right arm swollen with blood, like a bear's paw. He narrowed his eyes and threw it out.

The mutton fell into the lake with a splash. Li Cunxiao ran out with a gust of wind, and at the moment when the mutton completely sank to the bottom of the lake, he lay on a thick tree trunk near the valley entrance.

Outside the valley, Chili snorted uneasily.

Suddenly, bubbles appeared on the calm lake surface, and a trace of blood swirled around. A moment later, two tentacles emerged from the water and snaked towards the shore like snakes.

Li Cunxiao held his breath and watched the tentacles first roll away the pork, but when he tried to get the beef, he couldn't reach it because it was too far away.

He put it that way on purpose.

The tentacle tried to reach out for a while, but found that it really couldn't reach it. It lashed out randomly as if to vent its anger, but unlike last time, it did not draw out sword-like grooves, and finally retreated softly.

Li Cunxiao was somewhat happy and somewhat disappointed.

The joy was that the opponent's weakness was exposed. Last time, the lake was boiling, the waterfall was rolling back, and it was a turbulent scene.

Now he is in the weak sage mode, which is probably related to the lack of demon meat replenishment.

The disappointing part was that the other party was hiding in the lake and refused to come out, so I couldn't personally see the situation at the bottom of the lake.

No one knows what is happening to the water goblins, the zombies, or the most important treasure tree.
Just as Li Cunxiao was about to go home, several shadows suddenly appeared under the water. The next moment, five water goblins jumped out of the lake one after another. Behind their swallow-like bodies, more than a dozen tail tentacles stabbed towards the remaining beef.

In less than ten breaths, the half of the cow's body was torn into pieces, and broken bones fell to the ground. The water goblins made unsatisfied cackling sounds, turned around and started fighting again. For a moment, the demons were dancing wildly, and Li Cunxiao was stunned.

The situation of these water mandrills is obviously not good.

When the water goblin that got the wind weasel corpse caused trouble yesterday, the other water goblins just stood by and watched, but now they are fighting for ordinary livestock meat.

The chains on the water goblin are like the umbilical cord of the zombie, used to extract the blood and energy it needs.

The behavior of these demons is enough to show that they are so hungry that they will eat anything.

Is it possible that the zombie is about to break out of its cocoon?
Li Cunxiao's heart trembled, and the next moment, he saw the five water goblins seemed to be frozen, screaming miserably, and their almost dried blood flowed along the translucent chains to the bottom of the lake.

In a moment, the water goblins, whose hair was a little dry, were freed from their "immobilization" and fell into the lake with a splash.

At this time, the wind seemed to continue to flow, the branches and leaves swayed gently, and the clothes made a slight sound when they were scratched.

Li Cunxiao retreated from the valley with a solemn expression, led out the quiet Chili, jumped on the horse, and returned to the foot of the mountain like a red meteor at a faster speed than when he came.

Only then did Chili begin to neigh and twist its body restlessly, as if blaming its master for bringing it into danger.

"Have you noticed it too? Stop yelling, I'll go back and give you a snack."

Chili snorted and consciously returned the same way he came.

Li Cunxiao stroked the stubble on his chin, as if thinking about something. When he heard the noisy voices, he looked up and found that he had arrived at the gate of Chuqiu City.

When passersby saw the tall horse, they all consciously made way for it. The gatekeeper even smiled flatteringly and greeted him:
"Third Master, your horse is truly magnificent!"

Yesterday at the autumn hunt, Li Cunxiao was in the midst of the grand ceremony. As a city guard who was in charge of welcoming and seeing off guests, he naturally knew what was going on. There was one more big boss in the city that was not to be messed with.

Li Cunxiao didn't say anything, just nodded, and got off his horse at the door of Donglai Restaurant.

When the waiter at the restaurant saw how majestic Chili was, his eyes almost popped out and he ran back to the lobby.

In a moment, Manager Sun and a group of people rushed out in a panic and joyful manner.

"Oh, my Third Master, what brings you here?"

Li Cunxiao found it funny, thinking back to the stingy man's frowning face, and he didn't have the intention to tease anyone.

"Manager Sun, you are so polite. I just came to reserve a table. There is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Shopkeeper Sun thought to himself, everyone knows that you, Li Sanlang, have become the disciple of Chief Escort Zhang and are very popular.

If I were to be impolite and make you unhappy and say sarcastic things to Zhang Lishi, would I still be able to do business?
"Oh, you could have just asked someone to come and make the reservation, why did you do it in person?"

Li Cunxiao didn't want to say any more nonsense, so he exchanged a few polite words and walked through the crowd, hugging Gao Cheng who was slightly bending over.

"Brother Gao, it's only been a few days, don't you recognize me?"

"How can you not recognize me?"

Gao Cheng blushed, and seeing Li Cunxiao in his dark blue satin round-necked robe, he said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Brother, please loosen up a little, I'm afraid your nice clothes will get dirty."

"Clothes are meant to be worn. Why would you go shirtless if you're afraid of getting them dirty?"

Li Cunxiao deliberately made a joke, and everyone laughed knowingly.

"I'm inviting the two Cui escorts to dinner tonight. Brother Gao, please help me and show me your unique skills in roasting lamb."

"I'll call Hu Zi and Mu Cha over later, and I'll make them some new clothes for the New Year."

"Boss Cui?!"

Shopkeeper Sun called out when he heard this, his face showing nervousness and anticipation.

"Third Master, may I ask if this is Cui Wei and Cui Yao, the two great escort leaders?"

Seeing Li Cunxiao nod, he suddenly became excited.

These two gentlemen are Zhang Lishi's right-hand men, and Manager Sun has always wanted to establish some friendship with them.

Unfortunately, the two brothers don't like roasted lamb, but they go to Deyue Tower every few days to eat a whole cow banquet.

Now that Li Cunxiao was hosting a banquet at his Donglai Restaurant, it was a godsend opportunity. It also allowed Manager Sun to see that Li Sanlang had an extraordinary reputation.

"Old Zhang, since Third Master has said so, why don't we let Chef Gao take the reins tonight? Cooking skills are something that can be practiced after all."

As soon as the chef, Master Zhang, heard what the shopkeeper was planning, but seeing Gao Cheng chatting happily with Li Cunxiao, he couldn't say no.

Aren’t the apprentice’s connections also his connections?
Gao Cheng is an honest man. With a great god like Li Sanlang supporting him from behind, he can also use his status as a master, right?
Gao Cheng never expected that after waiting for so many years, he would become Master Gao overnight.

His mind is now full of one thing, he must make the dishes tonight look beautiful and show off to his brothers!

"Brother Li! Brother Li!"

Li Cunxiao heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Qin Yu rushing in from outside the door, panting, with the escort badge on his leather belt swinging.

"Qin Yu, are you controlling your Qi and blood? How did you find me?"

"I saw your horse. It's so majestic and huge. I saw it right away. I heard that Brother Li had left the city. But that's not the point."

Qin Yu looked anxious, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth to spit out a string of rapid fire.

"Someone offered you a treasure, but it was snatched away by Shen He, the head of the escort team. If we don't hurry over, the brother and sister might be in trouble..." "Are you going to sell it or not?"

Shen He sat at a roadside stall, looking at Wei He who was wolfing down his food in front of him, showing impatience.

After all, he was born into a wealthy family, so he always had some manners in doing things. What's more, they were near the escort agency. When Qin Yu saw that the situation was not right, he ran away directly, and Shen He did not stop him.

The reason why Shen He went to Li Cunxiao to offer medicine and treasures was simply to ask for something. Shen He thought that since he was born in the Shen family in the inner city, he could offer a higher price no matter what, and it would be easy to capture a mountain hunter.

But Wei He never mentioned ginseng and just kept saying he was hungry.

Shen He pinched his nose, took a detour to find a roadside stall, ordered a table of food, and after that he almost couldn't hear the other party say a word.

Wei He was really hungry.

He walked with his sister for most of the day and entered Chuqiu before the city gate.

Not wanting a virgin like Wei Ying to sleep on the streets, he reluctantly booked a room in the inn. He stood guard at the door and didn't sleep a wink in the middle of the night.

That was why, when he got enough sleep, he missed the time when Li Cunxiao went out. Unfortunately, he was short of money, so he could only buy two Hu bing to share with his sister.

As the saying goes, the little brats can eat the old man to death. Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age when people can eat a lot. Moreover, he was tired after a long day, so Wei He was already exhausted.

When he saw the oily soup noodles, he ate three bowls in a blink of an eye.

However, sister Wei Ying lost her appetite when she saw the young man in brocade clothes wiping the bench with a handkerchief in disgust.

Hearing the other party's words, she could only answer cautiously:
"Sir, my brother and I are hunters in the mountains. We are not very experienced, but we have heard of the talented disciples of Chief Escort Zhang of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. I wonder who you are?"

After hearing this, Shen He began to carefully look at Wei Ying's appearance and figure.

He came from a wealthy family and had married countless women. In his opinion, Wei Ying's appearance was just ordinary, and her skin was a little rough due to years of hard work.

However, her gourd-shaped figure is plump but not bloated, comparable to Xiao Mei's.

"Mountain girls are supposed to have a bit of wildness. I haven't experienced it yet. I think they must be quite interesting in bed."

Wei Ying and her brother's expressions suddenly changed, and Wei He even overturned the table, splashing soup and dishes everywhere.

Shen He leaped out of the stall like a flying insect on a blade of grass, revealing a look of annoyance that couldn't be more fake.
"I accidentally revealed who was coming!"

Before he finished speaking, several strong servants jumped out from near the stall, followed by a bad guy in black, and surrounded the brother and sister.

"Master Shen, how did these two unruly people offend you?"

Looking at the other party's flattering appearance, Shen He said casually:
"I'm a martial artist, how could two mountain savages dare offend me? It's a pity for the soup noodle vendor, who works hard from dawn to dusk to earn a few hard-earned dollars, only to be robbed by two strangers."

"You're slandering me! You were the one who treated us to this meal!"

Wei He was furious, like a mad calf, but Wei Ying, who was standing by, saw the official and immediately knew something was wrong. He reached out and grabbed his brother hard:

"We didn't dine for free, sir, how much are these three bowls of soup noodles? I'll charge you for them all."

The shop owner was an old man with gray hair, and his wife had already collapsed on the ground in fear.

He swallowed fearfully, but did not answer. He just glanced at Shen He.

"Three bowls?"

Shen He's expression was very exaggerated, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"But why did I see you eat thirty bowls?"

"I'm your mother!"

Wei He was honest but not stupid. He knew immediately that the other party had no intention of reasoning with him.

After all, he was a young man at heart, and his blood boiled instantly, and he pounced on him.

Shen He didn't move. The bad guy next to him grinned, his forearm and five fingers instantly became engorged with blood, and he punched hard at the chest.

Bang!
Wei He instantly flew back into the broken table and bowls. His arms, which were held in front of him, were red and purple with blood oozing out. His chest felt stuffy and he couldn't stop coughing.

Wei Ying ignored the greasy soup on the ground and rushed to her brother like a hen protecting her cubs.

The bad guy was surprised when he saw this. After all, he had already controlled his qi and blood, so this punch should have been able to break the opponent's hands.

Where did these wild men from the mountains come from, and why are they so tough and strong?

Shen He walked forward leisurely, picked up the animal skin package that fell on the ground, opened it, looked at the ginseng in good condition, and nodded with satisfaction.

In Chuqiu County, you might not even see one true magical herb in ten years, and 59-year-old ginseng is already rare.

If I could add the secret medicine that can temper my bones, muscles and skin after preparing it, the medicinal power would at least double. I have been stuck at the second level of practice for a long time, and this is a good opportunity to break through.

"This ginseng is your apology for offending me."

Wei Ying felt a little sad when he heard this, but he was relieved in the end.

All the treasures in the world are not as important as my brother's life.

Now that we have entered Chuqiu City, there will always be ways to make a living. There is no need to worry about losing this ginseng.

The bad guy next to him was a little surprised. When did the eldest son of the Shen family become so easy to talk to?
He remembered that the other party had once ordered someone to whip him to death because his boots were soiled by a passing ox cart.

After joining the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, has your personality changed?
"No, this must be an opportunity given to me by Master Shen. This kid is incredibly strong. If I let him go, he might become a disaster in the future."

"We have to find a reason to send my brother to jail. Even the toughest man will eventually face the King of Hell within seven days."

"As for my sister, if Mr. Shen doesn't like it, I haven't had sex for a long time."

The malice in the eyes of the bad guy made Wei Ying feel sick and frightened, but he stood in front of his brother tightly, not moving an inch.

"However," Shen He looked at the brother and sister, and suddenly a brilliant idea came to his mind.

"You ate thirty bowls of noodles from the boss and smashed his stall. You have to pay for it, at least ten taels of silver."

Twelve?

Wei He was so angry that he couldn't speak. Wei Ying touched the shriveled purse in his arms, his expression even more bitter.

There was only a few coins in it.

Shen He looked at the two people who dared to be angry but not to speak, and he didn't know why, but he felt that his blood flowed faster and his heart was surprisingly refreshed.

In order to please Zhang Lishi in the escort agency, he had to pretend to be generous and respectful to his teacher. But now that Li Cunxiao has arrived, all his years of hard work have become a complete joke.

He had realized that it was impossible for him to receive Zhang Lishi's true teachings.

As the saying goes, a broken jar is broken, and the long-awaited release made him feel extremely refreshed.

"Forget it. Seeing how poor you are, you probably can't come up with the money. I'll give you another chance."

Shen He pulled out the knife from the bad guy's waist and threw it on the ground, staring at Wei He, whose face was flushed.

"Open your stomach and let everyone see how many bowls you've eaten."

"If there are really only three bowls, I'll pay for you."

"If you bowl more than three bowls, you'll go to jail and your sister will serve me!"
