92 The Eighth Shop
◎Bumping into someone's car and stealing a house.◎
Flying out of the Internet cafe, the little sparrow spirit led Lu Yao down the mountain.
Buxian Mountain faces the sun on one side and the shade on the other.
The shaded side has thick grass and tall trees, and monsters and spirits often hide there. Going down the mountain is to the sunny side, and there is Hengze Sect at the foot of the mountain.
Hengze Sect is a small sect. I heard that in the past few years, the eldest senior brother has taken many junior brothers and sisters to travel outside the sect, and only some young disciples with shallow foundations and Jiang Yan, who is in poor health, are left in the sect.
Even so, the little monsters don't easily provoke Hengze Sect.
The cultivators are used to killing monsters without mercy, and monsters and spirits with low cultivation usually avoid them when they see them.
But Buxian Mountain is a quiet and good place. The shady side is damp and cold, which is the favorite place for small demons and monsters to hide. Hengze Sect never disturbs the demons and monsters in the mountains and forests, and the two sides maintain a subtle peace.
Only the little sparrow spirits are mean, and they like to bully Jiang Yan and the little medicine boy who go up the mountain to collect herbs.
Walking out of the forest, the light golden sunlight sprinkled down, dispersing the mist raised by the morning light.
Lu Yao's shoes were stained with dew. She stopped, lowered her head and stamped her feet, wondering if the little sparrow spirits were fooling her. But
the little sparrow spirits were very anxious. They landed on Lu Yao's shoulders, picked up her hair with their beaks, and urged her to keep going.
The leading sparrow landed on top of Lu Yao's head and kept pecking at her head, anxiously: "Gu, Guga."
Lu Yao: "..."
Lu Yao was pushed to walk a distance again, and when she was about to go down the mountain, she stopped to ask for clarification.
"Ying——"
A tender and slightly sharp voice came from the grass beside the path.
This mountain road was not built by people, but it was a rugged path trampled out by people who frequently went up and down the mountain.
The weeds on both sides of the path were lush, with clumps of slender grass leaves like sword blades, and the tips of the leaves were still condensed with morning dew.
Lu Yao stood on a stone and looked into the grass. The weeds were deep and dense, and she didn't see anything.
Summer was about to come, and she was not afraid of anything else, but snakes.
Lu Yao was not afraid of those reptiles covered with scales, and he shuddered at the sight of them.
If it was a monster, it would not hide in the bushes and dare not show up. Lu Yao raised his foot to leave, and there was another sound from the bushes.
"Oh oh——"
This sound sounded familiar, and Lu Yao paused, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before.
"Oh——"
The little sparrow spirits also became excited, and kept grabbing Lu Yao's sleeves, pulling her into the bushes.
Lu Yao stood still and stretched out his hand to the leading little sparrow spirit: "Come over and talk."
The little sparrow spirit landed in Lu Yao's palm, tilted its head and acted cute.
Lu Yao lowered his eyes: "Don't fall for it, talk nicely."
"Miss Lu?" A slightly surprised voice came from the front, "Are you going down the mountain?"
Lu Yao looked up and saw Jiang Yan in a Taoist robe.
He didn't carry a medicine basket today, nor did he bring a medicine boy. He only had a wooden stick in his hand. It was obvious that he was not going up the mountain to collect herbs. It was clear where he was going.
The little sparrow spirits flew away from Lu Yao's palm and all landed on the grass leaves by the roadside, pretending to be unfamiliar with Lu Yao.
Lu Yao ignored them and looked up to Jiang Yan and said, "I just heard a sound coming from the bushes. I wonder if it was a monster or a small animal in the forest."
Jiang Yan looked into the bushes and frowned, "Let me go and take a look."
Although Jiang Yan was weak and his magic was low, he started to go up the mountain to collect herbs with his master when he was four or five years old, and later with his senior sister. After
his master, brothers and sisters went down the mountain to travel, he started to go up the mountain to collect herbs alone.
He usually didn't pay much attention to the monsters on the mountain. In fact, he was too lazy to climb up, so he wasn't too scared.
Jiang Yan used a wooden stick to push away the grass leaves, picked up his Taoist robe and walked over.
The bushes began to rustle and shake, and there was indeed a living thing in the grass.
But Jiang Yan went back and forth several times and didn't catch the little thing.
The little sparrows landed on the tips of the grass leaves to watch the excitement.
Facing the thin morning light, Lu Yao saw sweat on the boy's forehead. He wanted to call him back, but he couldn't find him.
After so much trouble, the little animals with a little vigilance should have run away long ago.
"Bang--"
Suddenly, a black and white fluffy ball rolled out from the grass above and hit Lu Yao's leg directly.
Lu Yao squatted down and hugged his calf, gritting his teeth in pain.
Is this a piece of iron?
It feels like the leg bones are broken.
The thing seemed to be stunned as well, and its body curled up into a ball, covering its head and not moving.
After a while, it began to make a mournful cry. Lu
Yao was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered where he had heard this sound - in a giant panda video on a certain alphabetical website, those round black and white rolling sounds were just this kind of cute sound.
Judging from its size, this should be a giant panda cub.
All the little sparrows flew over and landed on Lu Yao's shoulders and head, jumping and chirping, as if to say "that's it, that's it."
Lu Yao called Jiang Yan back.
Jiang Yan came over sweating and saw Tuan rolling motionlessly at Lu Yao's feet. He showed a surprised look: "I have never seen this iron-eating beast demon before."
Lu Yao: "Is it a demon?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "It has not transformed yet, but it has demonic aura. It is indeed a demon. I just don't know why it suddenly appeared in the Immortal Mountain."
The little sparrow spirit pecked at Lu Yao's head anxiously.
Lu Yao quietly used his ability to listen to its heartbeat. The little sparrow spirit said that it was a half-demon.
Lu Yao blinked and whispered: "Are you sure?"
The little sparrow spirit raised his head and chest to assure.
Lu Yao asked Jiang Yan again: "Can you tell that this demon is new?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "The monsters in the mountains are actually no different from the birds in the forest and the fish and insects in the water. They are all creatures in the world. I go up the mountain several times a year. I have seen a lot and naturally recognize them."
After the Internet cafe appeared, many more strange monsters came to Buxian Mountain, but they only moved around on the Yinshan side, and there was a barrier to isolate the evil spirit, so Jiang Yan didn't care.
To put it another way, even if he wanted to, he was powerless.
Lu Yao stretched out his hand to push the ball of hair on the ground. This thing was like a puppy, pressing Lu Yao's feet tightly and making a wailing sound when pushed.
Jiang Yan asked: "What is the owner going to do with it?"
What else can he do?
Lu Yao took out the Qiankun bag from her portable warehouse and directly put the crying kid into the bag.
It was so heavy that she couldn't hold it.
Jiang Yan stared at him: "The owner wants to take this beast demon back to the Internet cafe?"
Lu Yao nodded: "This place is too close to the foot of the mountain. It might run to the foot of the mountain one day. It's better to go to the mountain with me. There are many monster customers in the store. Maybe it can get a few points and improve its cultivation."
Jiang Yan always felt that Lu Yao's words and deeds and attitude towards monsters were not like those of ordinary people, but she really had no cultivation.
Then the two of them went up the mountain to the Internet cafe together, and the little sparrows flew away sparsely.
Seeing that the direction was towards Liuxian City, it was probably on the way to work. Halfway, they found this iron-eating beast demon and hurried back to inform Lu Yao.
The matter was settled, and they went to work peacefully, planning to come back in the evening to ask Lu Yao for the elixir.
Jiang Yan is the only human cultivator customer in the Internet cafe. He doesn't visit very often, usually only once every three to five days.
He knows that it's not right to mix with demons. He regrets it every time he goes back home after surfing the Internet, but every few days, he can't help but want to go up the mountain to have a look.
Jiang Yan sighed, feeling guilty and helpless about his weak faith.
When he arrived at the Internet cafe, Jiang Yan found that there was an extra row of shelves next to the canteen, but the goods had not been put on them yet. The network administrator was also a strange face. He couldn't help asking, "Where is the previous network administrator?"
Ji Feichen was a little nervous on his first day at work, and he didn't think much about it. He said truthfully, "He asked for leave for something and will be back in a few days."
Jiang Yan: "What are the new shelves for?"
Ji Feichen was a serious person, and he honestly explained that the store would open online shopping services.
Jiang Yan took the purse off his belt and raised his head: "Online shopping?"

Lu Yao went straight into the lounge after returning, took out the Qiankun bag, and let the little bear cub out.
When it was put in, it screamed like a pig being slaughtered, but when it was let out, it didn't move. Lu Yao thought it was suffocated, and there was no response from patting and rubbing it. It wasn't
until he saw its little belly rise and fall with its breathing that he realized it was actually asleep.
The little thing is really big.
Lu Yao couldn't be completely sure of the little sparrow spirits' judgment, so he planned to wait until Jiao Niang came in the afternoon to confirm it.
Seeing that it was sleeping soundly and its body was dirty, Lu Yao took a cleaning talisman and stuck it on the bear.
A gust of warm wind blew, and the grass and dust on the little bear cub were blown away, and the dirty gray bear was successfully refurbished.
Lu Yao fetched a blanket, wrapped the little bear cub, and turned to go out.
The moment the door of the lounge closed, the little bear cub, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes faintly. His small eyes were dotted with dark circles, bright and energetic, without any trace of the stupidity and timidity he had just had on the mountainside.
He waited vigilantly for a while, making sure that the human would not come back for a while, sat up, kicked off the blanket, climbed down the sofa clumsily, and sniffed around.
The lounge of the Internet cafe was recently expanded. A warehouse was added behind the employee lounge to store goods.
Buckets of instant noodles of different flavors were stacked in boxes, and starch sausages, jelly, marshmallows, chocolate, drinks...all kinds of snacks also piled up half a wall.
The little bear cub found the warehouse from the rest room, blinked his eyes, sat down, and casually picked up a bag of snacks. He gently scratched the fragile packaging with his claws, and the sweet smell of candy spread out.
He first smelled it, and tried to put it into his mouth to bite it.
! ! !
So sweet, delicious! ! !
The little bear cub gobbled up a bag of candy, even the wrapping paper was put into his mouth to chew, but it didn't taste good, so he spit it out, turned around and climbed onto the box, and took out a bunch of candy and scattered it on the ground.
-Outside
the lounge, Lu Yao didn’t know that he was being scammed by a little bear demon and had his house stolen. He was talking to Ji Feichen: “There’s a giant panda cub in the lounge, and it’s asleep now. I’m going out this afternoon, you take care of it.”
Ji Feichen had a grudge against the owner, but now his arms couldn’t get past his thighs, so he lay flat, and tried to keep up with the owner’s topic: “…Giant panda cub?”
Lu Yao: “Just brought it back from outside, the little sparrow demon said it’s a half-demon. Wait until Jiao Niang comes over this afternoon, and then ask her to take a look.” It
turned out to be a bear demon, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Ji Feichen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Feichen and Ji Feiming are actually a bit similar. Both of them are very upright in their conduct and don’t beat around the bush.
Lu Yao saw Ji Feichen trembling with fear, trying to suppress his discomfort and blend into the atmosphere of the Internet cafe, thinking of Ji Feiming when he first joined the company.
On his first day at work, the envoy of God wore formal clothes and drove a luxury car to this desolate street. Like an old-school gentleman, he knocked on the door of the shop owner respectfully.
A year later, Xiao Ji is now self-sufficient and still does things properly, but he is no longer as awkward as before.
He occasionally wears formal clothes and exquisite and expensive accessories, like playing cosplay on the small desolate street.
When a group of young colleagues teased him as "uncle circle heaven", he would show an expression of incomprehension, and then he would shyly laugh along.
Time can always change everything inadvertently.
Adaptation is also a process. Lu Yao hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just asked, "Did anything happen when I was not in the store?"
Ji Feichen recalled that it was much better than he expected. Although the customers in the store were demons and monsters, they were very well-behaved and there was nothing worth talking about.
"Shopkeeper," Jiang Yan saw Lu Yao coming out and walked to the bar, "I heard that the network administrator will teach customers how to play games?"
Jiang Yan arrived a little late, and only the row where the little leopard demon sat was still occupied.
The four guys were addicted to playing together and never got off the plane.
Jiang Yan sat nearby, logging into the video website as usual to watch the aerobics video.
But the demons and monsters beside him were in high spirits, yelling from time to time, and even wearing headphones could not block out the high-pitched sounds.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to ask them to tone it down, but then he heard about the money earned by proxy training.
Lu Yao: "Do you want to be a proxy trainer too?"
Jiang Yan had wanted to buy the kind of fitness equipment that was sold online for a long time, but he didn't know where to buy it.
When he turned on the computer just now, he heard about online shopping, and when he heard the demons and monsters talking about proxy training, he quickly connected the two things together.
Following the instructions of the spider spirit, he searched for the shopping platform and found the equipment he wanted to buy.
The spider spirit helped him check and said that the price was not cheap.
Jiang Yan then decided to learn how to play the game.
Lu Yao: "...Why don't you apply for an account first?"
Jiang Yan was furious when he heard that it would cost ten high-grade spirit stones to open a game account.
Hengze Sect is poor, and even if it is not Xianzhen, it is poor.
Jiang Yan worked diligently to refine pills, but most of the pills he refined were low-grade pills. He could not sell many spirit stones in a month, and he really could not afford ten high-grade spirit stones.
Lu Yao remembered something: "How about this, Mr. Jiang, help me do something, and I will give you three game accounts if you succeed."
Jiang Yan: "!!!"
---
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yao, Ji Zhixin, and Ji Qingyan set out to discuss game cooperation.
On the way, Ji Zhixin gave Lu Yao feedback that he had contacted the painter Mei Xue and the modeler Liu Yixi in the morning, and the other party responded quickly.
Both said that Yu Shu had informed them in advance that they were very interested in the positions offered by the shopping street, but they both wanted to have an interview.
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "I have time tomorrow morning, please let me know."
After that, the car drove into a fork road and drove into the underground garage of the Shen's company building.
