Chapter 59: The Great Collapse
The speed of the avalanche is much greater than the speed of construction.
At first, it was just a trifle.
In order to give it a fight, a low-level monk sold all his resources, bought various pill amulets, and fought a few strange wood miasma outside the city.
He worked hard to bring these strange wood miasma back, and when he inquired about the strange wood miasma in the market, it had risen to 15 spirit stones, and he was immediately full of spirits, thinking that a better day was coming.
In order to treat himself, he went to a tavern, heroically ordered a table of food, and then when he checked out, he threw a few strange wood miasma to offset the bill.
According to his thoughts, the price of a few strange wood miasma is already far higher than the dishes on this table, and the shopkeeper is not happy to send himself out, so he has to give a good face.
Who knew that when the shopkeeper saw Qimu Miasma, he immediately turned cold, and then called someone to beat him out.
He also said that this thing can be piled up with firewood in the backyard of his house.
The speaker has no intention, but listens with a heart.
Some of the guests who were eating in the restaurant left very tacitly, and then immediately gathered at the Yaowang shop and hung up the strange wood miasma on their hands.
As the saying goes, buy up, don't buy down.
When everyone is buying, pigs can take off when they stand in the wind, but once there are more people selling, the direction of the wind changes.
Followed by a lot of unreasonable people who hung up their strange wood miasma, which was originally all bought by Hongtongtong, but was overtaken by the selling order in an instant.
This trend scared many retail investors, and they began to rush to buy and sell orders, and then, at that moment, everyone noticed a problem.
The wrong amount is sold.
It stands to reason that at the beginning, the medicine fields were sacrificed by demons, and then the Medicine King Sect burned a few more medicine fields, and at least half of the goods were gone.
Even if you look for it from outside the city, it's just a drop in the bucket.
But what about this pending sell order?
Roughly counting, it is more than the number of Jinghai in three years, and the steward of the Medicine King Shop has sold Qimu Miasma for so many years, and at a glance, he can know how long these things are enough for Jinghai.
His face turned white.
Everyone is not stupid, why did Qimu Miasma increase its price? That's because scarcity is expensive, coupled with the driving force behind it, rolling up step by step, which has created a sky-high price.
But now that there are so many of them that there are ten people who are still rich, who will buy them?
Crash, only in an instant.
The Xia family was still cooking at home, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, and then, all kinds of colorful spells and magic weapons passed through, and bursts of screams were heard from time to time.
This change shocked the Xia family, and then, they saw the glow falling from the sky, a flying sword hitting Xuan'er, shuttling through the air, every time it fell, it would bring a touch of blood.
The courtyard of the Xia family was splashed with mottled blood, and the hot blood proved that his master must be a hot-blooded young man.
Jindan period, it must be Jindan period shot!
The Xia family, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are pale, they are shocked, they cover their teeth, and they don't dare to make the slightest movement.
This night, Jinghai's movement has not stopped.
It wasn't until the next morning that Xia Qianjiao and the others dared to go out, and then, as soon as they opened the door, their faces changed.
Dead people, all dead people!
On a street, there were thousands of dead people lying densely, and there were thousands of them, including some familiar faces from the old neighborhood.
Xia Canghai gasped: "Hiss! Lao Li? Lao Wang! He, what did they do? Why is it like this? โ
"Xia Canghai?"
Suddenly, a team of bronze city defenders came over, and the leader glanced at the Xia family, and said impatiently: "Who is Xia Canghai?" โ
"I, I am."
Dad raised his hand, and the general of the city defense army immediately said: "Now the city defense army is not enough, you come over to help." โ
Xia Canghai said: "This adult, what should I do?" โ
"What to do? Don't you see these dead people? Of course, it's to collect the corpse. โ
The city defense looked as a matter of course: "Hurry up and go back and change your clothes, damn, if this is not handled well, the old man will be angry again." โ
Xia Canghai trotted back to change his clothes, Xia Shaodi took advantage of this gap and asked, "This military master, I don't know what happened yesterday?" Why is this happening? โ
The city defense army glanced at Xia Shaodi, and said with a stinky face: "Who do you ask me?" Lao Tzu still wants to know, he finally fucking got a few strange wood miasma, and he thought about selling it for a little wife, who knew that it would fall if it fell. โ
Xia Shaodi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Xia Chengyuan: "Master Jun, what is the price of Qimu Miasma now..."
"The price? What else is the price? That thing is not as cheap as grass now, but green grass can still decorate the environment, and that thing is too troublesome to burn as firewood. Fuck, why did you fall..."
After the military master said two words, he kept talking about the Qimu miasma that was not sold, Xia Shaodi had no choice but to retreat, and then, he ran out of the street, and then saw an even more tragic scene.
- Corpses, all corpses.
I don't know how many people were killed last night, the alleys were full of corpses, numb people dragged the corpses stiffly, some people tried to grope for some relics from the corpses, however, there was nothing left on those corpses except coagulated flesh and blood.
Syllable!
A thin hand suddenly grabbed the corner of Xia Shaodi's clothes, he looked down, and was instantly shocked: "Granny Luo, you, why did you become like this?" โ
The old lady Luo, who lived two streets away, broke a leg, one hand was also drooping on her chest, and the hanging natal weapon was cracked by two cracks, and the whole person was unkempt, how miserable and miserable it was.
Old Lady Luo grabbed Xia Shao's opponent and said in horror: "Little flute, save me, save me!" They're going to arrest me and mine, I don't want to die, I don't want to die! โ
Xia Shaodi was shocked: "Granny Luo, who wants to arrest you to mine?" โ
"They, they! That's them! โ
Granny Luo turned around and pointed to a few black-faced monks behind her, Xia Shaodi glanced at it, his body suddenly shook, he blocked Old Lady Luo, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" Why did you arrest Granny Luo? โ
Those monks cultivated for Xia Shaodi, and when they saw him stopping, they immediately took out a token from their pockets, and said with a dark face: "Zanggulou is doing business, get out!" โ
"No, you can't take Granny Luo away! You are violating the laws of the Great Zhou by doing so! Aren't you afraid that the prison department will arrest you? โ
"The Prison Division? Hahaha. โ
The monks of the Tibetan Ancient Mansion glanced at each other, laughed in unison, and then they took out a volume of documents from their pockets and unfolded them: "See clearly, it was the Prison Division that asked us to come." This old woman mortgaged herself to our ancient building to borrow a large amount of money, and now that the money can't be repaid, we can only arrest her and go to the mine. Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs. โ
Xia Shaodi was already stupid when he saw the document, but he didn't expect these people to still act impartially.
He turned his head to look at Mrs. Luo, with a sad face: "Mother-in-law, you are confused!" How can you mortgage yourself? โ
"I, how did I know that the strange wood miasma would plummet! It's all they are pheating me, they are pit me!! โ
Old Lady Luo struggled desperately, and she was innocent every word, but the monks of the Tibetan Ancient Building didn't care so much, they stepped forward and took out the shackles, and dragged Granny Luo's hand away.
"Pit you? It's obvious that you're too greedy! โ
"That's it, I don't know how to stop after making money, and I deserve to lose you!"
"No, I'm not going, I don't want to die, I don't want to die in the mine!"
Old Lady Luo suddenly became wise at this time, pointed at Xia Shaodi, and begged pitifully: "Young enemy, you know that I love you the most, can you go to the mine for your mother-in-law?" You go for me, and I will take care of your father and mother in the future! โ
Xia Shaodi couldn't believe his ears, he did have a good relationship with Granny Luo, but no matter how good it was, he wouldn't want to mine for her, besides, she was greedy, what did it matter to herself?
Not to mention that Xia Shaodi couldn't stand it, even the monks of the Tibetan Ancient Building were dumbfounded, they looked at each other in astonishment, and one of them slapped Granny Luo's head and scolded: "Old thing, I didn't expect your heart to be darker than ours?" Don't say you want to pull someone into the water if you fall into it? โ
The monk turned his head and arched his hand at Xia Shaodi: "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, I will definitely make him suffer a little more when such an old thing arrives in the mine!" โ
"Hey..."
Before Xia Shaodi could reply, those people had already left with Granny Luo, and they didn't know what was waiting for Granny Luo.
As a result, Xia Shaodi was no longer interested, and he returned to Xia's house in despair, and found that everyone had solemn faces.
Xia Shaodi was stunned: "Second brother, what's wrong?" โ
"It's really said by the third child."
Xia Chengyuan had a bitter look on his face, and he said, "Jinghai is in chaos. โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Without T+1 and the circuit breaker mechanism, as soon as Qimu Miasma fell, it was a thousand miles, and within half an hour, it fell to 12 spirit stones.
So far, if there is good news, it can actually control the situation, but at this time, I don't know who came with the news that the Medicine King Sect had discovered a super medicine field, and the Qimu miasma in it was enough for the Great Zhou to last for ten years.
As soon as this news came out, the price of Qimu Miasma instantly fell below the 10 mark, and those who originally wanted to make money from Qimu Miasma now only want to be able to return to their capital.
But at this time, the Huang family intervened again.
Huang Fulai and Lai Bo rushed to the medicine king shop with hindsight, and when they saw that they had fallen below 10 spirit stones, they immediately shook their bodies and almost fainted.
Immediately, they hung up all the strange wood miasma on hand.
Originally, the price of Qimu Miasma was crumbling at 9 o'clock, and the Huang family's hand was directly cut on the main artery.
In an instant, the price of Qimu miasma jumped down by two points.
But that's just the beginning.
No one could stop the downward trend, and in less than three hours, the price of Qimu Miasma had dropped to 4 spirit stones.
At this time, there was no purchase order on the sales board, and Hongtongtong was full of sales orders, and no one would put their expectations here, so many people took the strange wood miasma to find another way.
Some people have found everyone's gate valve and hope that they can collect it, but which everyone's gate valve has not been involved in this matter? They can't handle the Qimu miasma on their hands, who will take someone else's?
Keeping those people out, everyone is also thinking about how to deal with Qimu Miasma.
These people worked hard all their lives, and returned to the pre-liberation period one night, sitting at the door of everyone's door and crying.
The worst thing is that they borrowed from loan sharks, they originally thought that selling things would not only pay off the principal, but also achieve financial freedom, who knew that now they would lose all their money.
Immortal cultivators go against the sky, there are few honest people, when some people think that they are afraid that they will mine and dig to death in the future, they simply don't do it, and plan to come to a big one.
Some monks united and carried out a surprise attack on some debt-collecting sects, thinking that if they killed the creditors, they would not have to repay their debts.
But they overestimate their own level.
It was not only them who lost when the bubble burst, the loss of the sect was even greater, the sect was hoarding goods while releasing usury, originally thought that it was eaten at both ends, but I didn't expect both ends to be blown up.
The goods cannot be sold, and the accounts cannot be recovered.
Many small sects fell into an irreversible abyss at once, and at this time, a group of mud-legged people who didn't know what to do still wanted to attack the sect, and they ignited the entire powder keg at once.
At first, the town prison department still wanted to stop it, but later found that there was no way to do it.
Those who are bankrupt either storm the sect, or flee from the city, or wait at home to die; The sect is either to collect accounts, or to arrest people, or to sacrifice magic weapons to meet the enemy.
The entire Jinghai was in a mess, and the Prison Division simply put it in the end.
Fight, fight, fight.
As long as it doesn't affect the foundation of Jinghai.
The town prison division didn't have anything to say, and the sect let go of their hands and feet, but they still paid attention to the rules in their work, and the accounts of the civilians were three or seven cents, and the old man's account was returned.
After hearing this, the Xia family let out a long sigh.
"I don't know how many people died that night."
A hint of complexity flashed in Xia Canghai's eyes, the Jinghai in his memory was still a prosperous city a few decades ago, however, after only a few decades, it had already revealed its decline.
Bang!
A flash of fire suddenly flashed in a nearby house, and then the fire exploded.
A woman rushed out of the fire in fright, and just a few steps away, a man with flames all over his body dragged him in, covered her mouth, and said viciously: "You slut, Lao Tzu asked you not to buy it, you have to buy it!" โ
"Help! Help me! โ
The woman stretched out her hand and struggled desperately, but the outsider only looked at her and turned away, allowing her to be dragged into the fire without a sound.
The Xia family retracted their gaze, and Gu Xiuying shook her head: "It's that little lady of the Li family, it's really miserable, it's only been a few days since I got married." โ
"That's right, Chang Jia..."
Gu Xiuying suddenly thought of her daughter-in-law, and the eldest brother was stunned when she heard this, and immediately said, "Mother, I'll go to Chang's house first." โ
He ran quickly, and Xia Qianjiao snorted softly behind him.
The Chang family had better not make a mistake, otherwise, he wouldn't mind changing a wife for his eldest brother.
"In this way, everyone who invested in Qimu Miasma has lost money, but what about the Huang family?"
Xia Qianjiao gloated: "Can the Huang family still laugh now?" โ
