The five big men seemed to be possessed by a demon. They picked up the excrement and crushed tofu on the dirt floor and ate it in big mouthfuls.
When Yun Kong heard the story, he was shocked: "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. This little kid must have been taught by someone else. He is so accurate in identifying acupoints."
The man on the next stage continued...
The five big men finished eating the tofu, and the white, black, and brown bits were mixed together in a pile around their mouths. They were speechless and begged Bai Pu with their eyes.
"Okay, tell them to report back to the boss."
The red leaves jumped up, waving their hands, and a silver flower bloomed. In the blink of an eye, all the silver needles on the big men's bodies moved.
As soon as the red leaves touched the ground, the five big men immediately jumped up and ran away. They couldn't stop as if they were dying. They were still grunting and couldn't make a sound. Their mouths were full of disgusting fecal-stinky tofu. They tried to swallow but couldn't, repeatedly. It goes in and out of the throat and feels like gargling.
"Where do you think you went during this run?"
"I can't guess."
"He went straight to the old tofu stall and made all the tofu bloom."
The three rough men laughed loudly, and after they finished laughing, they ordered another pot of wine.
"I said, didn't the little kid called Hongye go with Bai Pu? But I just said that Bai Pu goes in and out of the Wen family's mansion alone every day, didn't he see that Hongye?"
"I heard what Tu said, don't give a damn."

Yunkong listened to the gossip in the world, and unknowingly finished the noodles. He felt that his stomach was still not full, and then felt his waist bag, and he felt discouraged.
He comforted himself: "Seventy percent full is the way to maintain health." He planned to leave.
After entering the city, I went to a Taoist temple to find the Taoist priest who Zhang Tieqiao said would perish his country.
Having made up his mind, Yun Kong stood up to pay the bill.
He had just stood up when someone sat down next to him, raised his hand and said, "Taoist Master, please sit down."
Yun Kong was stunned. He looked at this person and saw a happy look on his face, showing that he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day.
This man exudes an air of luxury no matter his expression or behavior. With his dimples and shrewd eyes, you can tell he is a businessman at a glance.
What's strange is that there is a faint dark aura between this man's eyebrows.
There was also a follower beside this man, who was a head taller than Yun Kong. He unceremoniously took away Yun Kong's belongings, put them aside, and politely waved his hand to ask Yun Kong to sit down.
Yunkong was confused: "I have never met you, sir..."
"Of course we have met before," the strong man said with a smile, "Isn't the Taoist priest's Taoist name Yun Kong? The words in your move have not changed, I remember them."
"I really don't remember." Yun Kong shook his head apologetically.
"My surname is Yu. I was in Ping'an Building..."
Yun Kong suddenly became conscious.
At that time, not long after he first entered the world, he came to the golden city of Kaifeng.
Mr. Yu was drinking tea in Ping'an Building and was curious about a man squatting on the flagpole... and then caused a commotion.
"It's about twenty years old, right?" Mr. Yu's face looked a little old, so it was time to change his name to Mr. Yu.
When there was a commotion in Ping'an Building, Yun Kong got to know Chi Chengzi.
Chi Chengzi hunted down the escaped servant Gao Lu for Master Longbi Master. He stole Longbi Master's sword skills and actually practiced sword skills. Wan'er became the "Green Sword Gaolu" in the world.
Unexpectedly, Chi Chengzi broke his hand tendons and hamstrings, and his martial arts skills were completely disabled.
Yun Kong remembered that Mr. Yu later took Gao Lu in.
"I remember, I'm an old friend!" Yun Kong bowed, rubbed his hands shyly and said, "It's been twenty years, I can't remember clearly."
"There are dishes in Tao Chang Noodles, so I think I am in trouble."
"Ashamed, ashamed." Yunkong lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled bitterly.
"Since Taoist Master passed away, I, Yu, have always been thinking about me, not wanting my fate to be fulfilled..." Mr. Yu said nostalgically, "It's so rare, why don't you stay at my house?"
"How dare you, poor Taoist..."
"Taoist priest, you don't have to be humble." Mr. Yu turned around and ordered: "Qi'er, help Taoist priest pay back the money, and take the Taoist priest's belongings carefully. Let's go to the city and have a good meal."
The attendant agreed, picked up the things and followed behind the two of them.
It turns out that Mr. Yu went to see a batch of goods outside the city. On his way back to the city, he sat down to rest in a wine shop. It is said that it is a coincidence that he met Yun Kong.
The two walked into the east gate while talking. As soon as they entered the city, the noise came all over them.
On both sides of the streets that stretched all the way into the city, the sounds of various sellers of clothes, calligraphy and paintings, and rare toys came and went, heating up the air.
Since it was noon time, all kinds of game, seafood, fruits, and cakes were everywhere, and the light and strong aromas mixed together, making Yun Kong even more hungry.
Mr. Yu said: "If you live at my house, you can go to Zhouqiao Night Market in the evening during your free time. It's just outside Zhuque Gate. The venison, fox meat, breast chicken, chicken kidney and kidney minced there... are cheap and delicious. It’s only found in the capital.”
Master Yu brought Yun Kong into the restaurant and asked him to have a good meal.
During the dinner, the two couldn't help but talk about the incident that year.
Mr. Yu was very impressed by Chi Chengzi's ghostly appearance, so he asked about the news about Chi Chengzi.
"We met the year before last, but we were separated again."
What happened that year has become blurry, like smoke, but it is still thrilling to think back on it.
I remember that Master Longbi poisoned his own disciples, leaving only Chi Chengzi, whom he cherished the most... No, there was another half-child who was poisoned and survived. He stole a large bag of books from Master Longbi and took them to who knows where. went?
I wonder what is written in those books? What harm will it cause?
What the master of Longbi learned was a bit ghastly. What kind of evil spells could a half-baked person learn from the book?
After pondering for a while, Yun Kong wanted to change the topic: "Young Master Yu, no, Master Yu..."
"Just follow your mood," Mr. Yu puffed up his chest and put on an open-minded smile. "Just call me by my name. My friends all call me 'Bamboo Boat'."
"The name is quite elegant."
"It's just a matter of being elegant. I'm not as good as the Taoist priest who wanders around the world, so I have to stay at home and be elegant."
"That's overstepping your bounds, Mr. Zhuzhou." Yunkong felt that Master Yu had changed a lot compared to Mr. Yu back then. However, there was one change that he had been wanting to say since just now: "Please forgive me for being poor." To be honest, there is a mass of black energy on your forehead, which is a bit weird."
Zhuzhou stretched out his hand to touch his forehead and glanced upward: "What kind of weird method?"
"If there is stagnant black energy on the forehead, it will bring bad luck, but your energy does not look like..." Yun Kong swallowed, "It looks more like you have spent a lot of energy and mixed in some resentment. "
"Grudges?" Zhu Zhou was noncommittal, "As a businessman, I'm afraid you will have grievances with others."
"Mr. Zhuzhou, have you been feeling a little weak recently?"
"This is not..."
"Taoist Master," the chess player next to him came over and said, "I am not weak, but I am weak."
"I didn't do any hard work for you, why are you weak?" Zhuzhou tilted his body and frowned at his servant.
"Master, there are a lot of evils these days. Not to mention me, Qin'er, Shu'er, and Hua'er have also been a little weak recently. I heard that several people in the family have fallen ill."
A trace of fear flashed across Zhuzhou's face, and he couldn't help blurting out: "The Wen family's mansion..."
"No way, sir." Upon hearing this, Qi'er's face turned pale.
They must have been frightened by the legend that all the more than 40 members of the Wen family's family died of an illness many years ago.
"It's not a plague," Yun Kong said, "If it were a plague, not only people in the house would be killed, but it would definitely spread outside the house."
"I heard about the Wen family when I was a child," Zhu Zhou said.
"Mr. Zhuzhou, since you invited Pindao to your residence to disturb me, Pindao would like to stop by to see you. He is a small doctor for minor illnesses and a big doctor for serious illnesses."
"The Taoist Master is well-informed and must have a solution."
Yun Kong smiled politely.
"Speaking of which, I have an old friend in my family."
Yun Kong originally wanted to ask, but Zhu Zhou didn't want to mention it first, so he asked: "Is it Gao Lu?"
"Gao Lu, it's him," Zhu Zhou touched the back of his head, "When I brought him back to the house, he couldn't do anything. You know..."
"I understand that the tendons in my hands and hamstrings have been severed, so I can't do rough work."
"I sent him to do some errands to deliver things, deliver some account books or check goods. If he hadn't met you, he would have almost forgotten his past."
After Zhuzhou filled Yunkong's stomach, he took him walking and chatting, and before he knew it, he approached the Yu family.
The Yu family has been in business for several generations and built a huge house.
