Chapter 016: Sand God

Zhu Youdao knew that after killing the sand lion beast, it would definitely attract the attention and hostility of the Black Spring Gathering Chamber of Commerce.

In order to avoid accidents, he instructed his disciples to be more careful and not to be left alone, so as not to be hacked.

Since his team entered the Black Spring Set in the name of the merchant group, of course he had to make a show and go to talk about some business with the three major merchants, and this task fell on Xu Fu, who was preparing for the foundation building.

Xu Fu took Zhu Youcai and several other Zhu family disciples, as well as Zhu Youdao's three disciples to discuss the deal.

Yun Jiamu, Yang Xingzu and Jin Jingran had already built the foundation a few years ago, and Zhu Youdao sent the Black Sand Shuangsha of the Shenxiu Sect to accompany him, with five foundation building monks present, even if the other party had bad intentions, he didn't dare to do it easily.

Half a day later, Xu Fu came back with someone and reported the results of the transaction to Zhu Youdao.

The three major gangs did not deliberately leave difficulties, and purchased a batch of goods brought by the Zhu family at a normal desert price, and Xu Fu also received a batch of desert specialties from the gang.

Zhu Youdao inquired about the details of the transaction and found that if there is strength to ensure safety, doing business in the desert is extremely profitable, no wonder so many people have lost their lives, and some people have always ventured into the desert to do business.

Because he had heard rumors before that it was difficult to even eat in the desert, Zhu Youdao brought a large amount of spiritual food over this time. But after entering the desert, I found that the rumors were not true, there was no shortage of spiritual food here, and there were sand ears and sand fruits growing everywhere in the desert, and there was no need to deliberately plant them at all, and you could collect them outside at some risk, not to mention that there were endless sand beasts to hunt.

Of course, the sand people also want to change their tastes, and it is still no problem to sell these spiritual foods, but the profits are not considerable.

It was a minor mistake, but it wasn't a big deal.

The purpose of their trip is not to make money, and when the training team develops smoothly in the desert in the future, the trade routes connecting the outside world are opened, and the Yuxiu Chamber of Commerce can mobilize materials to transport them in, they will naturally not worry about making money.

After listening to Xu Fu's report, he asked, "Do you think the three major chambers of commerce will do anything to us?"

Xu Fu replied: "The subordinates thought that it would not be like this easily, although the Sha Min was brave and aggressive, they paid the most attention to maintaining the stability of the territory, and the leader of the Jinsha Gang, Boss Jin, was the most taboo for others to break the rules he formulated, as long as they were in the Black Spring Collection, they would not mess around!"

However, if our people go out of the walled city, we have to be careful, the Blackwater Gang Ma Laohei is not the master who can suffer! Eating wine in front of him and stabbing him in the back is his most usual trick!"

Zhu Youdao snorted: "I'm afraid he won't do it!" You say, can we get rid of a gang, replace it, and make this a stronghold for us?"

Xu Fu thought for a moment and said, "I think it's no problem, the most powerful force in the Black Spring Collection is the Jinsha Gang composed of Shamin. Most of the sand people hate outsiders, but they have no ability to expel them, after all, the entire desert environment is like this, so outsiders who are willing to abide by the order are the goal of the sand people's cooperation!

The Blackwater and Tempest are both gangs of outsiders, and Hu Lin, the leader of the Tempest, is a cunning fox who, despite his greed, rarely breaks the rules openly.

But the people of the Blackwater Gang often make small moves below, and there are often monks in the Blackwater Collection, who are blackmailed by the Blackwater Gang, and even rob and kill people.

For this reason, Boss Jin has repeatedly troubled the Blackwater Gang, but the Tempest Gang knows that if the Blackwater Gang falls, they will not be able to compete with the Jinsha Gang, so they have been advancing and retreating with the Blackwater Gang, and Boss Jin has no choice!

If we can take down the Blackwater Gang and form the previous three-legged situation, and we are willing to abide by the rules and jointly maintain the stability of the Black Spring Collection, that is also the situation that Boss Jin is willing to see!"

After listening to Xu Fu's analysis, Zhu Youdao nodded and agreed.

"The team is temporarily resting, you go to retreat and build a foundation first, I will arrange someone to protect you from the Fa, don't worry about safety! After you get out of the customs, let's find a way to clean up the Blackwater Gang......

After preparing for a few days, Xu Fu went to retreat and hit the foundation. His cultivation qualifications are medium, he is the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire, and the probability of succeeding in building a foundation for the first time is only thirty percent. However, he has suffered a lot, he has seen many things very thoroughly, and his mentality is also very stable, and it is easier to pass the level of inner demons, which makes him more sure of building a foundation than ordinary people.

After Xu Fu's retreat, Zhu Youdao restrained his people to cultivate well, don't go out if they have nothing to do, just wait for Li Yunniang to refine the bloody qi, and then take everyone out of the city to experience the life of the sand people.

Zhu Youdao closed the door and didn't come out, but someone came to the door.

It was someone from the Jinsha Gang who came, and handed over an invitation on behalf of their gang leader, inviting Zhu Youdao to participate in the sacrifice of the sand people three days later.

After Zhu Youdao read the invitation, he told the messenger that he would definitely attend on time, and the man left.

After returning to the cultivation room, Zhu Youdao thought for a while, asked Zhu Youcai to prepare the next gift, and then thought about it.

Zhu Youdao heard Xu Fu talk about the sacrificial activities of the sand people a few days ago, and knew that this was the most important festival for the aborigines of the desert.

The object of the sand people's sacrifice is said to be the "sand god", a god who has never appeared for tens of thousands of years.

Whether it is the cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Realm or the Yushou Realm, most of them do not believe in God!

The monks only believed in their own powers, and rarely performed special rituals, but often saluted the tablets of their ancestors.

The sacrifices of the sand people are much more solemn, believing that the gods are simply asleep, and that the sacrifices will awaken the gods one day and bring them protection.

According to the records of the Suzaku world, Shinto was active in the pre-ancient period, and its prestige was even higher than that of the Sendo.

Although the power of the gods is infinite, they have a fatal flaw, that is, the gods rely on the will of all beings to exist, and once they lose their followers, the power of the gods will also lose their foundation.

In ancient times, there was a conflict between Shinto and Sendo in a full-scale war, and Sendo was not an opponent of Shinto at first, but later Sendo took away the believers of the gods, broke its foundation, and finally wiped out all Shinto.

In today's cultivation realm, there are very few gods and spirits.

The cause of the desert in the Yushou realm is said to be the trauma after the war of the ancient monks, and in terms of time, it is likely to be the product of the war between Shinto and Immortal.

However, the "sand god" sacrificed by the sand people has never shown miracles, so the monks in this world all think that the sand god does not exist, and maybe it is just a powerful monk among the ancestors of the sand people.

Zhu Youdao knew in his previous life that he had to respect the beliefs of others, but now that he is in the desert, no matter whether the sand god exists or not, he will not question the beliefs of the sand people.

He planned to go and have a look at it then, and by the way, meet the leader of the Golden Sands Gang, Jin Wuda.
