Chapter 247: Hurricane (30)
Just as Lin Xing and Tianlian were discussing the problems of the present world, a mountain city not far ahead gradually fell into the sight of the two.
Unlike the last time Lin Xing followed Tianlian to the Blue Underworld City, the mountain city in front of him still had a large number of construction sites and many buildings under construction.
Lin Xing, who was watching this scene, said unexpectedly: "This is a newly built walled city? ”
Tian Lian said on the side: "This mountain city is called Cangjiang City, and it is a city that has recently been renovated and rebuilt by the Stygian Mountain Sect. The topography of the Stygian Mountains changes every year, so the Stygian Mountain Sect will also expand the leylines according to the changes in the terrain every year......"
Just as Tianlian was introducing the Cangjiang City in front of Lin Xing, he saw several men in robes walking up and smiling at them kindly.
"You two, do you want to buy land?"
"Cangjiang City's newly opened leyline, are you interested in learning about it?"
"I have a newly built building on the riverside vein, the owner sells it sincerely, and is willing to give a 20% discount, I'll take two of you to see it."
"I have a set of cultivation retreat rooms here, the landlord is in a hurry to use the money, and it is definitely cheap, do you want to come and take a look? There's a carriage over there, and I'll take both of them into town. ”
Looking at the people in front of him who came forward to sell land information to them, Tianlian smiled slightly: "Everyone, we don't buy land, please let it go." ”
With Tianlian's slight smile, the faces of the people surrounding the scene were stunned, and they seemed to ignore the existence of Lin Xing and Tianlian in an instant, and they scattered in a blink of an eye, and soon rushed towards other people passing by.
Walking all the way into the newly built Cangjiang City, Lin Xing could see many people standing on the street inviting people to buy land and buy houses, and he was curious: "With so many people coming to sell land, is it because the land here is not easy to sell?" ”
Tianlian said: "The price of the land of the Stygian Mountain Sect has risen to the sky, and it is time to fall. ”
"People who have the strength to buy land are more or less aware of this, and naturally they are reluctant to invest money to buy it."
"Even the newly built Cangjiang City has been affected, and many construction sites have been stopped."
Walking into Cangjiang City, Lin Xing could immediately sense from his spiritual sense that this walled city was much more desolate than the Qingying City he had visited last time.
There were few pedestrians on the large streets, and they were in a hurry, but the rows of brand-new cultivation rooms were empty, and the small cubicles were like empty honeycombs.
Lin Xing could also see that many of the outer walls of the cultivation rooms were pasted with words, all of which were banners to sell houses and land.
The entire Cangjiang City seems to be being abandoned.
Tianlian said: "Lin Shaoxia, your target for collecting luck this time is called Zheng Tu, and he is the head of the Zheng family of the Stygian Mountain Sect. Even if the head of the Stygian Mountain Sect saw him, he had to call out uncle. ”
Lin Xing nodded slightly, remembering that the city lord of the Qing Netherworld who collected his luck last time was also a descendant of the Zheng family.
This Zheng family is one of the three major families in the Stygian Mountain Sect, and its ancestors are one of the founders of the Stygian Mountain Sect, and this Zheng family has always had a long history and occupies a pivotal position in the Stygian Mountain Sect.
"Zheng Tu has a lot of land in his hands, and he has mastered seven of the walled cities on this Stygian Mountain alone, and this Cangjiang City is also one of them."
"Now that the land price of the Stygian Mountain is about to fall, this Cangjiang City is the first to bear the brunt, which also means that this person's luck is gradually declining, and it is a good time to collect it."
"However, Zheng Tu, as the head of the Zheng family, has always had a strong man of the three passers by his side to guard him day and night, and it is not easy to collect his luck."
Lin Xing was surprised: "The master of the Third Inheritance is guarding him day and night? ”
In Lin Xing's impression, each of the powerhouses of the Third Inheritance is a hegemon, and he can dominate the world with his own strength.
He never imagined that there would be a strong man of the third lineage who was willing to guard others day and night like a bodyguard.
Tianlian smiled faintly and said, "The nine major sects have their own mysteries, and the geniuses of the Stygian Mountain Sect all rely on the leylines cultivated and built in the sect to cultivate. ”
"And if every master wants to cultivate to a peerless level and break through to the third lineage, they need to refine an entire leyline."
"So almost every powerhouse of the Stygian Mountain Sect who has broken through to the third lineage needs to make a deal with the sect, make a blood oath, and use their future combat power and realm to buy a leyline."
Tianlian sighed: "That's why among the Stygian Mountain Sect, there will be strong people of the Third Inheritance who serve the middle and upper echelons of the sect like slaves. ”
Just as the two were exchanging information about the Stygian Mountain Sect, they saw a quarrel coming from ahead.
It turned out that many people were blocking in front of the city lord's mansion and shouting something.
"When I bought the land, you said that the newly cultivated leylines are full of spiritual power, and the cultivation effect is the first in the mountain, and the price will definitely increase again in the future, why are you reducing the price now!"
"Lao Tzu asked the Stygian Mountain Sect to borrow so much money to buy the cultivation room, and they turned their heads and said that the price will be reduced, and our life's hard work has been ruined by you."
"The leylines in the west of the city have not been repaired until now, how long will you have to delay? Our family has already paid the money! ”
Lin Xing sensed it slightly, and he vaguely knew what was going on.
Tianlian sighed on the side: "After the land price in Cangjiang City fell, these people who bought land and houses couldn't sit still. ”
"For ordinary people who borrow money to buy land, once the price of land falls, it is equivalent to evaporating all the money they will earn in the next few decades."
"For those big families who buy land and rent land, rent land and buy land, they can't afford to pay off their debts, and they will go bankrupt and become slaves to the Stygian Mountain faction."
At this moment, Tianlian looked at a nine-story tower in the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Lin Shaoxia, look, then Zheng Tu is on that tower." ”
……
on the tower.
A slightly chubby, fair-skinned, and dressed man in a fancy costume stood on the tower overlooking the scene of Cangjiang City.
There was not a trace of labor on the man's face or hands...... I couldn't even see the slightest trace of cultivation.
With delicate skin and smooth hair, you can see that his body is well maintained.
And with his plump physique, it seemed that he stood out among the several powerhouses of the Stygian Mountain Sect around him.
This man in Chinese clothes is Zheng Tu, the current head of the Zheng family of the Stygian Mountain Sect.
I saw Zheng Tu looking at the people making trouble outside the City Lord's Mansion, and snorted coldly: "A group of mud-legged people, earning two broken silver a day, buying a palm-sized leyline room, just thinking that they can succeed in cultivation and one day be on an equal footing with my Zheng family?" ”
"They don't understand that our skills are all rewarded to them, so that when they obediently repay their debts, they can contribute more to my Stygian Mountain Sect."
"I even thought that after cultivating for twenty or thirty years, I would be able to catch up with my Zheng family's accumulation of more than five hundred years."
"Did you say? Xuanyin. ”
After speaking, he looked at the Xuanyin man standing on the side.
The Xuanyin man nodded slightly and said, "Elder Zheng, is there something you called me back this time?" ”
Zheng Tu said with a smile: "You have repaired the leylines of Cangjiang City." ”
……
Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Looking at the few figures in the tower, Lin Xing said, "Could it be that the weakest one in it is Zheng Tu?" ”
Tianlian nodded: "The Zheng family controls many masters of the Stygian Mountain Sect, and even if this family member does not cultivate, it is enough to dominate one side." ”
Lin Xing asked curiously: "This Stygian Mountain Sect has been established for hundreds of years, has there been no rise or fall in land prices before?" It didn't fall until today? ”
Tianlian said: "Lin Shaoxia, the price of this Stygian Mountain Sect's leyline, you can't see him as a simple transaction, because the Stygian Mountain Sect is one of the nine major sects in the world, and it has enough force to sweep one side. ”
"In the past hundreds of years, there have been more than one sharp drop in land prices, but the Stygian Mountain Sect has been able to survive safely, and a major factor is this extremely strong force."
"For a long time, whenever the local price soars and soars all the way, the Hades Mountain Range is thriving all the way, and it will always attract many people to live and practice in the mountains."
"They will dream of becoming a master with the help of the leyline, looking forward to working hard every day, through decades of hard work, they can have a leyline of their own in the Stygian Mountain, and even gamble their lives to borrow money from the Stygian Mountain to buy land and buy a house."
And when more and more people come in, and the price of land gradually increases to the limit and begins to fall, these people use their life's struggle to exchange land or houses...... The value will be erased in an instant, and they themselves will become completely slaves here because of their debts to the Stygian Mountain Sect. ”
"At this time, they will find out that the Stygian Mountain Sect has been playing them from beginning to end, and it is impossible for them to have their own place in the Stygian Mountain Sect, but after working in the Stygian Mountain for decades in vain, they have also turned themselves into slaves of the Stygian Mountain Sect."
"Of course, this is not absolute, some talented and successful cultivators will be accepted by the Stygian Mountain Sect, and the best of them will join a big family like the Zheng family and become a part of this giant."
"And after the Stygian Mountain faction accepted a new batch of slaves and geniuses, the Stygian Mountain was also emptied again, and gradually attracted new people, and the land price gradually began a new round of skyrocketing......
"In this round of operations, the Stygian Mountain Sect relies on extremely strong force to suppress all disobedience."
Hearing what Tianlian said, Lin Xing's eyes seemed to be able to see that in the past hundreds of years, the Stygian Mountain Sect had squeezed batch after batch of people who had gone forward and dreamed of changing their lives.
And when he looked at Zheng Tu on that tower, he could vaguely feel a strong aura of luck appearing on the other party's body.
This qi luck is so thick and profound that it can be called the most fortunate person Lin Xing has ever seen since he cultivated the Six Secret Immortals Refining True Method.
The luck he had collected from the city lord of the Blue Netherworld City before seemed to be nothing compared to it.
"It is worthy of being a person who has mastered many leylines in the Stygian Mountain, and the luck on this body is indeed extraordinary."
"If you want to collect the luck of this person, I'm afraid you have to find a way to outwit it......"
There is something to do, so I'll change it to 3,000 words first, and I'll add another chapter in the evening. Tomorrow will be updated at six o'clock.
