Chapter 384 Robbery
As a harbor city, Tsunami City has frequent exchanges. Merchants who often travel to and from trade routes, shuttle through the Hanhai, and travel to foreign lands are more open-minded and active than those in the interior.
Every city with a strong trade is, in a sense, a place where ideas come together.
In Tsunami City, the doctrine of Qin Tian also spread.
Although the Qin Tian Academy is extremely strong now, and the situation with the Baolong Empire is grim, in the past, after all, there was a period of ambiguity.
A lot of things about the Qin Tian Academy, through the ships, through the beast masters, and through the later teleportation array, there are a lot of things that circulate to the Baolong Empire.
At a glance, Qin Ping immediately saw that there was a current of thought surging in this city, very faint and very vague, but the spread was already quite extensive.
There are no gods in the Baolong Empire, so the atmosphere within the empire is nothing special, but an ordinary atmosphere of heaven and earth.
In this atmosphere, if a trend of thought can be observed, it is actually very obvious whenever there is a trend of thought.
It's a pity that it is not easy to observe the ethereal trend of thought, and it is impossible for totem masters to touch the realm of gods.
In other words, at the very least, you have to be a demigod to be able to observe the current of thought.
The only special circumstance is probably like Qin Ping's now, as the leader of the trend of thought, after reaching a certain realm, he can see the trend of thought he leads.
That's all.
Today's Qin Ping also cannot observe other trends of thought.
Since he saw that there was a trend of thought in Qin Tian's doctrine in Xiaohai City, Qin Ping naturally wanted to observe it and see what kind of development the school trend of thought was here.
After all, this place is too far away from the Qin Tian Academy, and it is difficult for the brilliance of the Great Dao Pearl to shine here, so once the Qin Tian Doctrine is falsely spread, misinterpreted, distorted, or even demonized, it is almost impossible to get to the root of it. If it continues to spread over time, the more widespread it spreads, the bigger the problem, the more deeply rooted, and even grows into a poisonous seedling.
As the leader of the ideological trend, Qin Ping naturally did not want to see the alienation of the ideological trend and the emergence of heresy.
The best solution, of course, is to cultivate some real inheritors of wisdom and mastery, and let them check it, and to a certain extent, eliminate the possibility of the formation of poisonous vaccines.
Following the trend of thought in the city, Qin Ping walked in the city with the mountain fireflies, like a traveler and a tourist.
The city is very old, giving it a sense of antiquity, and the scene is a little wet, very noisy and busy.
There are all kinds of shops, inns, and taverns, and business is booming, and the people who walk the streets are mainly beastmasters, and from time to time there are convoys galloping along the wide main road, transporting large quantities of goods.
Although it is only a beast car, its transportation capacity should not be underestimated, because the carriage is not directly loaded with goods, but a piece of standard storage beasts, with a standard capacity. What is stored in those beast weapons is the real thing.
Compared to transportation capacity, the world can be said to be ahead of the earth in all aspects.
That small storage beast is equivalent to a container.
A small animal power car, the cargo loaded in the carriage may be tens of millions of tons.
Whenever a convoy passes through the streets, there is no doubt that it must represent a big deal.
An ancient empire like the Baolong Empire has been at war for many years, the domestic situation is chaotic, all kinds of people's livelihood construction are slack, and the internal friction of national strength is extremely serious, so if it wants to maintain basic survival and national operation, it is very dependent on foreign trade.
The trading countries of Qinwei have made a lot of war money in the Baolong Empire.
In this Tsunami City, in fact, the pain caused by the war in this country is not visible. Because of the large and frequent trade here, it is currently prosperous like never before.
Walking all the way like this, Qin Ping and Shanliu Firefly gradually left the main road in the city, walked out of the bustling area, and came to some relatively deserted and secluded small streets and alleys.
The ideological trend of the Qin Tian Academy was surging in such a place.
Most of the people who lived here were sailors, more than a third were ordinary fishermen who had lived here for generations, and some had fled from other parts of the empire to escape the war.
They make up the lowest level of the city.
The higher level than them are the sailors gathered here, all of whom are beast masters, mixed with fish and dragons, and their forces are staggered.
The two of them walked all the way to the west of Tsunami City, and found that the city was very dilapidated and had a deep sense of decay.
This is the old town, which has gradually been eliminated due to the continuous expansion of Tsunami City because of its poor location.
This place is like a slum in Qin Ping's impression.
Hungry children were everywhere on the streets, sitting feebly on the steps in front of the door, their eyes wide open, looking longingly at every passerby.
The air was filled with the smell of fish, and all kinds of peculiar smells mixed in.
The broken streets were filled with sewage, black and stinky, and flies and mosquitoes were flying everywhere.
"Do it!"
When Qin Ping and Shanliu Firefly came here, they suddenly heard a low voice sound.
The small actions of those people actually couldn't hide Qin Ping and Shan Liuying's perception at all, let alone threaten them.
Even Shan Liu Hotaru can easily deal with it, even if Shan Liu Hotaru is a body cultivator, it is the so-called medicine cultivation, and he is not good at fighting.
As that voice sounded, Shanliu Firefly couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and couldn't help but get closer to Qin Ping.
On both sides of the alley, a group of people suddenly poured out, dressed in shabby, with sleeves and trousers rolled up, and turbans wrapped around their heads, dressed as typical sailors, holding weapons such as knives and forks in their hands, all of them were beast masters, many of whom were beast masters, each with fierce expressions, and the momentum was quite terrifying.
As the crowd at the end of the alley appeared, seven or eight people suddenly jumped up on the roofs on both sides, and soon completed the closure, surrounding Qin Ping and Shan Liuying.
"You two, if you don't want to die, leave your belongings behind!"
On the roof on the left-hand side, a middle-aged man with a long knife at his waist snorted, wrapped in a crimson turban, with several scars on his face, which looked like some kind of sharp claw scratching.
This person suddenly became an eight-rank beast master, with a bare chest and dark skin, as if it was made of copper and iron, and he looked very strong.
"You're going to rob here?"
Qin Ping's eyebrows furrowed, looked around at everyone, and snorted coldly: "In broad daylight, openly robbing?
The man in the scarlet turban looked like a leader, and he burst out laughing.
When the other brothers who followed him heard this, they also burst into laughter, as if they had heard some kind of big joke.
They seemed to sense Qin Ping's innocence.
To be able to ask such a question, what is it that is not an ignorant little white sheep?
When encountering this kind of little white sheep, their tiger fish gang has never been soft.
In the midst of a burst of laughter, the leader of the Tiger Fish Gang suddenly let out a shout, pulled out the saber at his waist and said, "Wang Fa, let me tell you, this is Wang Fa!"
As he spoke, he flicked his fingers and flicked the palm knife in his hand, his eyes widened, and he stared at Qin Ping and Shanliu Ying fiercely: "There is no king in the Baolong Empire, the whole world is broken, and when you talk about the royal law, there is only one way to die." Young man, we don't embarrass you, just beg for a living. Leave your goods behind, and leave quickly! Otherwise, I'll wait for you to make a move, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist!"
Qin Ping looked at this posture, robbery is indeed robbery, but these people are not so crazy that they can't be helped, and there are some basic principles, just robbing property.
It can be seen that they are obviously not upper-class people, but more like a group of refugees who have gathered together.
If it weren't for the fact that they were forced to make a living, I am afraid that such a gang would not have appeared.
As soon as he came to the west of the city, Qin Ping was already very clear about the situation in this area. Although the west of the city is not a big city and the environment is harsh, it is in the city of Xiaohai, it is easy to suffer from military disasters and wars, and it is close to the sea area, as long as the luck is not too bad, go out to sea to fish, so you can survive and not starve to death.
But the situation is obviously not as rosy as imagined, because the old town west of the city is really crowded with too many people.
Although the area of this urban area is less than one-fifth of the total area of Tsunsea City, it is inhabited by more than half of the population of Tsunsea City.
In the small old city west of the city, although the population is large, the beast masters, including the animal tamers, account for less than 1/10,000, and the absolute number cannot be compared with other urban areas, let alone the number of peak powerhouses.
As a result, although the old city west of the city has a large population, its ability to survive and develop is very limited.
So actually, the lives of the people here are very bleak.
The Tigerfish Gang is probably one of the various gangs in this city, large and small.
On weekdays, they do this kind of robbery, but in fact, their main business is still fishing and hunting. If fishing and hunting alone can feed a large number of people under his hands, I am afraid that no one will take risks and commit robbery.
After all, in a place like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where there are many masters, the risk of robbery is too high, and if one is not good, if you hit a hard nail, you will put your life into it.
That's life.
Within the Baolong Empire, various forces are fighting, fighting for the throne, all of them are dominant, in fact, the most unlucky people are the people of the world.
In the midst of this chaos, they don't even have the slightest power to resist.
However, although Qin Ping sympathized with their plight and felt their suffering, it did not constitute a reason for them to do evil.
It cannot be said that because the world is difficult and dangerous, he is desperate to follow some crooked and evil ways.
If everyone becomes a gangster, a robber, and a thug, then isn't the world really going to hell?
In the final analysis, self-improvement is the right way.
For these Tiger Fish Gang robbers, Qin Ping naturally wants to teach them a lesson, let them continue to be arrogant like this, over time, will they become tumors?
What had happened in the desert settlement outside Chixuan City, Qin Ping had already seen a lot. Forced to survive, people can do anything. For example, the people who used to kill the people, who were originally free and unrestrained, finally joined the black-hearted officials, willing to be eagles and dogs, and I don't know how many atrocities they committed.
What did they wish?
In fact, it is just for the survival of the race.
Just when Qin Ping was about to make a move, a dilapidated wooden door next to him suddenly creaked open, and out of it came a young man who was in a flow of air, holding a broken porcelain bowl with a few hot salted fish in it, and while coming out of the house, he didn't forget to pick up a piece and chew it, and walked to the street casually.
"Hey, I said what's going on?"
The young man looked around, as if he had finally figured out the situation, looked at the people on the roofs on both sides of the alley in surprise, frowned, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't go to the room, don't go to the room, don't go to the room." Do you know how hard it is to buy tiles now? If you step on the tiles, the house will leak rain, boss! If you get rid of the broken things, can you poor devils afford to pay for them? They are all scattered, they are all scattered. It's so blocked that you can't let people go out?"
"Shen Yun, are you meddling again?"
The man who took the lead in the Tiger Fish Gang on the roof had a sinking face, his eyes were sharp and he looked directly at the young man on the street, and his teeth itched with hatred.
The young man named Shen Yun raised the broken porcelain bowl in his hand, twisted a piece of salted fish with his fingers and said, "Nosy, Wang Lin, open your eyes and take a good look, can this salted fish still be eaten? What is on it? Tell me, what is it?"
Wang Lin's eyes widened, and strands of green tendons appeared on his forehead.
Shen Yun flicked the salted fish with his little thumb and said: "That's ash, the dust that fell from the roof!" You say, I ate my salted fish in the house, and it was delicious, and you people jumped up and down on the roof of my house, and all the dust fell into my bowl. Everyone, this brother, you come to judge the reasoning, is there such a thing in the world? I came out to ask for justice, is there a problem? Is there a problem?"
While speaking, Shen Yun also walked up to Qin Ping and asked Qin Ping to give him a comment!
Qin Ping glanced at it and felt funny in his heart. There was indeed a lot of dust on the salted fish, and I couldn't eat it anymore. However, the young man didn't care, wiped it on his clothes, and actually ate it.
Qin Ping's vision can be seen, but it can be seen that this young man is not simple, he is a nine-rank beast master, and he has already made some achievements in learning Qin Tian's theory.
"Hmph, don't look at me eating it, just think I don't care!"
Shen Yun chewed the salted fish with relish, looked directly at Wang Lin in the room and said, "This is what my wife made for me, do you know how precious it is? Forget it, a bachelor like you who has no wife, you won't understand if you tell you." ”
Wang Linqi's whole body trembled a little, and his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to attack, because none of them was the opponent of this young man Shen Yun.
Since these people moved here a few months ago, the rules on the nearby streets have been completely disrupted.
Today, I finally caught two little white sheep, and I was still counting on a sum, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, this Shen Yun jumped out of the bad thing again.
Wang Lin was angry in his heart, and he was a little alive.
He really didn't understand, these two people, all the way to the old city in the west of the city, all the streets and alleys, crisscrossed and crisscrossed, they didn't go anywhere, why did they come here?
How did this Wang Lin know that Qin Ping and Shanliu Yingyi had been walking all the way, seemingly aimless, and doing whatever they wanted, but in fact, their goals were very clear from the beginning, and they came to this place.
If you retreat like this, it will damage the majesty for the time being, Wang Lin is really unwilling. But if he wanted to be strong, he was really afraid of Shen Yun, and for a while, the group looked at each other, and couldn't help but fall into an embarrassing stalemate.
Shen Yun squatted down on the side of the street, eating salted fish deliciously, glanced up at Wang Lin and said: "Make a decision slowly, don't worry, it will take a while for me to finish eating this bowl of salted fish! I said you people, how delicious salted fish is, you have arms and legs, and your brain is also sound, with this idle time, isn't it good to go to the sea to catch a few nets of fish?"
When Qin Ping heard this, he nodded secretly.
This Shen Yun, although he looks deflated, his words and deeds are full of anger, but he is a good person, and his three views are still concealed.
Qin Ping immediately waved his hand and said: "Let's all disperse, I see that your life is not easy, so I won't worry about you! Don't see me with a good face, just feel that there is an opportunity." Life is already so difficult, but you still don't think about the right way, and it is really a waste of your strength! Today, confiscating your blades can be regarded as a small punishment for you! Even if you are a robber, you should keep your eyes open and recognize your opponent! You people, I don't think you are the material for doing this business!"
"Confiscate our blades?"
When Wang Lin heard this, he waited for his round eyes and said, "Who are you scaring about......?"
However, when the word "dream" came out, he saw that the blade in his hand was melting, and even the knife hidden in his waist was melting. Not only him, but all the people of the Tiger Fish Gang here.
After those weapons melted, they were like water flowing through the air, converging in front of Qin Ping, turning into a sphere, and the impurities had been washed away, turning into a silver-white and pure mass.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lin not only felt weak all over, but also felt a cold chill in his heart, and suddenly felt a force in his face, slamming into his chest and flying him and his subordinates out.
When they fell to the ground one by one, they were shocked, and their faces were already colorless, because where they came out before, and now they all fell back to where they were.
At this time, they realized that as soon as they had just taken action, they were already clear.
How can such a character be plundered?
