Chapter 188: Departure, to the Royal Court

For humans, the absence of a tail is normal, but for the Moon Clan, it is clearly classified as a disability.

According to the memory in his mind, Lin Tuo learned that the Moon Clan without a tail performed poorly in terms of physical balance, and his daily actions were fine, but it was basically impossible to become a "warrior" or a similar profession.

Just as Lin Tuo was curiously groping, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and immediately, the wooden door was opened, and a boy who belonged to a half-grown teenager in the Moon Clan walked in with a woven bag.

Seeing Lin Tuo holding a mirror in one hand and touching the back of his body with the other, his eyes were facing each other, and after a short silence, he couldn't help but say:

"Teacher, why don't we buy another fake tail, we can't touch it, is it possible that you really expect the potion to be used?"

Seeing Lin Tuo's mouth move, the boy suddenly shook his head and sighed, as if he knew what the teacher was going to say, and said to himself:

"Okay, okay, I know, the tail is expensive, we don't have any money, and we have to save the cost of the royal court and the purchase of medicinal materials, we have to save ......

But it's not a thing to have no tail, it's okay at home, and it's indispensable to make people laugh when you go to the royal court...... I've heard that the people in the city that never sleeps on the royal court care about their clothes.

尤其是有钱人,浑身的衣服配饰好看精细的要死,你要真想去,不也得收拾下,不然人家不让进城门咋办……”

The boy was a little chattering, a little thin, his face was pale and dark, he looked malnourished, his short hair was messy, and as he spoke, he turned his head and put the bag in his hand on the table.

And took out two pieces of bread that looked very cheap, and a fluffy tail with two forked tails hanging listlessly behind him, which was strange and interesting to look at.

Next to him, Lin Tuo remembered his identity the moment the other party entered the door......

The boy's name is "Qingkong", and he is the only student of the crappy doctor, and the master and apprentice depend on each other for their lives, relying on the production of some generic medicines similar to "cold powder" as their main source of income.

"Shanhai" wants to go to Wang Tingbo for his life this time, but Qingkong has always been very supportive.

On the one hand, it is because he knows how bad the medical skills of "Shanhai" are...... In addition, they are reluctant to go to the royal court, after all, in this small town, the master and apprentice still have a dilapidated house to shelter from the wind and rain.

But going to the royal court is not a carriage and horses, and just accommodation is a big expense......

The information flowed through his mind, and Lin Tuo "remembered" some interesting knowledge, although the reproduction of the Moon Clan depended on the "Moon Tree", that is, the small tree he planted, but somehow, there was a distinction between men and women.

However, the gender characteristics are not in the direction of Naiko and others, but men have horns, and women do not have ......

As for the figure, voice, personality, etc., it is highly similar to humans, not much different...... Lin Tuo highly suspected that this might be the memory left by the tree during the bonsai period, and as a result, he made a clumsy imitation of the man and woman who left the mountain, and as for the horns and tail, I don't know how they came about......

In addition, there seems to be shame between the men and women of the Moon Clan, but the main role is not to reproduce, but to entertain...... And because the genitals are the same for men and women, the process of shame is also different from that of humans.

As for the specifics...... Lin Tuo didn't find it in Shanhai's memory, not sure if it was lost, or if the seventy-year-old virgin had no idea about it at all......

Next to it, Qingkong was still rambling:

"Also, I know you don't like to hear it, but I have to say that if you can't find a way to cure the princess, then it's better for us to give up.

I know, fight to change our fate, once we succeed, we won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives, but that has to be realistic, throw away the travel expenses, and the rest of our savings will be consumed by buying herbs for you.

You said it yourself yesterday, you want to try it one last time, this is going to fail, let's hang each of us with a hemp rope, and save this meal without a ......"

Speaking of this, Qingkong finally packed up his lunch, handed Lin Tuo a piece of inferior bread and a cup of boiling water, and then glanced suspiciously at his poor ghost master, who was speechless.

His nose wrinkled, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had thought of something:

"What does this smell like? Also, teacher, why don't you speak? Could it be that the experiment ......"

As he spoke, the Moon Clan boy named Qingkong suddenly jumped sideways with agility, stretched his neck and glanced behind Lin Tuo.

When he saw the messy laboratory table and the unknown liquid that was dripping down the tabletop, the malnourished verbose boy was suffocated for breath, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

"Blue Sky ......"

Lin Tuoqing coughed, imitating the appearance of "mountains and seas" in his memory, and opened his mouth to say some comforting words.

In the next second, I saw Qingkong expressionlessly turn around and turn out two hemp ropes from the corner, stuff one to Lin Tuo, who was a little dazed, and then threw the other one on the beam, skillfully knotted it at the end, put it on his neck, and said seriously:

"Thank you for the teacher's nurturing grace in this life, I will never see you again in the next life, and the student will go first!"

……

……

"Ahem, ahem."

Two minutes later, in the dilapidated room, Lin Tuo looked at Qingkong, who was sitting on the ground rubbing his neck and coughing vigorously, with a rather helpless expression on his face.

So upright...... I don't know if it's Shan Qingkong's like this, or if the Moon Clan people are all so temperamental...... It's too much of a hurry.

"It's true that something went wrong in the experiment, but it's not a big problem, so why die?"

Lin Tuo felt that he needed to explain the other party:

"You can earn it again when the money is gone, and you can live dozens of ...... in the world cough, it's a pity that you haven't enjoyed wealth for hundreds of years and died like this. ”

On the ground, rubbing his neck and looking depressed, Qingkong wanted to cry without tears:

"I don't want to be rich anymore, I don't have that life."

"Okay, although something went wrong, it's not a failure, your dejected expression makes people think that your teacher and I are dead."

Lin Tuodao, thinking to himself, is also a student, Huaxi is much better than you...... At least not so recklessly.

The young man named Qingkong was stunned, raised his head and said blankly:

"What do you mean? Didn't fail? Then you ......"

"It's hard to say the specifics, but in short, I have some ideas."

Lin Tuo dealt with it vaguely, and then endured the awkwardness in the other party's suspicious gaze, ate the shoddy bread, and left Qingkong to clean the experimental table, and he left a sentence and walked out of the door.

……

The dilapidated house in "Shanhai" is indeed old, and even in this small town, it looks particularly dilapidated.

The town is medium in size, with shops lining the streets in the center of the city, occasionally populated by the Moon, mostly made of wood, and low walls of stone separating the city from the suburbs.

Walking to the center of the town, you can see a well, and beyond that, there is a small square, and there is a fountain, and some musicians playing strange instruments, which do not look like they are entertainers.

Lin Tuo watched calmly and continued to walk forward, seeing places such as taverns and blacksmith shops along the way, all of which were stranded by the Moon Clan.

When he reached a watch shop, he curiously went in and looked around, and was surprised to find many very elaborate clocks, some of which were ordinary metal, and some of which were made of fallen branches of the "moon tree".

In the memory of "Mountains and Seas", the material of the moon tree was more widely used in the royal court, and the farther out of the city, the less, the price was not expensive, but it was also much higher than ordinary metal.

When he walked to the bulletin board in the center of the town, he finally saw the bounty that caused the death of "Shanhai", issued by the royal court, and the content was probably similar to that in his memory.

The lord of the royal court, the great patriarch of the entire Yue clan, or the daughter of the king here because of an accident, one leg could not move, and the royal court physicians took turns to diagnose and treat it without any effect.

"Sounds like an opportunity."

Along the way, he also had a basic impression of the world, and soon realized that he might be able to use this opportunity to spread the word about alchemy.

Although he had the idea of disguising the gods before, the Moon Clan believed in the "Moon Tree", and Lin Tuo was not very good at disguising it.

In the memory of the "Mountains and Seas", the moon tree that grows in the center of the royal court has great power and infinite wisdom...... Although Lin Tuo was skeptical about the latter, it was true that he had intelligence.

In such a situation, it is not very convenient to disguise yourself as an oracle to spread knowledge......

It's easy to be poked.

In addition, he also wanted to take the opportunity to test the limits of this ability, and on the way, he found an opportunity to withdraw his consciousness to his main body, and found that it was similar to switching clones.

At the second coming, the consumption of the aether was also much reduced, and the problem was that both bodies needed to eat, which was not as convenient as the clone.

Moreover, with the experiment, Lin Tuo also had an idea in his heart:

"What happens if I turn on Time Acceleration as a mountain and sea?"

When the doppelganger is accelerating, it will enter the "virtual state", which has been determined, but what will happen after the seizure, Lin Tuo is not very sure.

If, if he starts to accelerate, he will live here for a hundred years as a "mountain and sea", will it only pass for one day for the earth?

"I'll have to find a chance to study it, but I'm not in a hurry for the time being." Lin Tuo felt that it was important to figure this out, "It's a pity that the body is not his own, even if he can, he can't increase the strength of his body by cultivating here." ”

Thinking of cultivation, Lin Tuo stood in place and closed his eyes, trying to meditate and run the "Qi Eating Method".

A moment later.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......" Lin Tuo coughed for a while, his face was also red, hot, and his heart was speechless for a while, "Can't cultivate?" ”

He hadn't felt it before, but when he consciously adjusted his breathing, he found that there seemed to be some differences between the organs of the Moon Clan and humans, not that he couldn't cultivate, but it was just extremely laborious.

It's easier for humans to adjust the rhythm of their breathing, but it's extremely difficult for the Moon Clan to do so.

"No wonder, the demons of World No. 3 need to transform to cultivate." Thinking a little suddenly, Lin Tuo stopped trying, and immediately turned around and returned to the wooden house.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Xiao Qingkong sitting in the cleaned room and wiping a broken beaker distressedly.

"Pack your things and get ready to go out."

Qingkong was stunned: "Where are you going?" ”

"The royal court, the city that never sleeps."
