Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 188
Li Fanfei went to Jiangji Trading Company and saw a bunch of ox carts blocking the door, blocking the three nearby streets. It turned out that several caravans came together to collect goods. Looking at the clothes of those merchants, they not only left the country, but also seemed to be from foreign countries. .The shopkeeper of Jiang Ji was extremely busy, delivering the special products of the Immortal Treasure from Mozhushan, and counting and converting the money that the other party brought for the transaction. It was much more troublesome than scanning the QR code.

However, it seems that the business route to the Central Plains has been re-opened, and a large number of monsters have been harvested in Lei Zeli. The Jiangji Trading Company has also overcome the difficulties for a while and has begun to turn around normally.

Li Fan landed in the yard, and the shopkeeper immediately came to entertain him. After all, he is also Jiang Ji's little backer, and the people in the firm naturally recognize him, "Master Li wants to buy something, just order."

The old shopkeeper who came up to salute is called Jiang Jian. He can't go far even at his age. He is now a stayer at the Mozhushan Commercial Firm. After living for a long time, he can recognize a few magic weapons. He usually comes to taste the casual cultivators. s things.

"Old shopkeeper, I have some trash picked up by Lei Ze here... cough cough, the old things I found, please ask the shopkeeper to exchange some money from the gods, and I want to buy a mechanism flying boat, just a small boat for transportation. I don’t know if it’s probably a Any price, second-hand ones are fine."

Jiang Jian smiled when he saw Li Fan brought a lot of goods, "The master came at the right time, as you can see, the goods in the shop are almost wiped out. The goods you brought are all top-grade, so they will definitely sell well. Now the commercial bank just accepts it directly.

Don't worry about setting up the flying boat, I know a lot of craftsmen, and it is more than enough to book a good boat for you.It's just that the remaining part is not recommended for you to exchange for Shengang money. The market has always been flooded with bad money, and now there are privately minted counterfeit money. "

"Fake money?" Li Fan was taken aback.

Jiang Jian waved to him, took him into the inner room, and put two coins on the tea table, "Look, one is made by Sanyuan, and the other is made by Nangong's family."

Why is it the Nangong family again? This group of people is really annoying...

Li Fan looked left and right for a while, "...is the one on the left fake?"

It's really hard to see with the naked eye, they are all golden bronze coins, and they won't develop copper rust after being conceived with Shengang coins, the size and weight are almost the same, and the handwriting can't see any flaws.At most, some money has been used too much, so it is inevitable that there will be worn parts, and there are slight differences between the old and the new, but Li Fan checked carefully with his spiritual sense, and he can still find out that the divine energy attached to the coin on the right is relatively uniform and vigorous, and the coin on the left is divine. The stellar energy is a little thinner, and the coverage is not even. It only has the effect of barely protecting the coins, but it can't be regarded as a bad coin.

"That one is Sanyuan's new coin. The other one was minted by Nangong Furniture."

Eh?But the one on the right is better?

Jiang Jian took out a brocade box from the room, and when she opened it, there were also two pieces of money inside, but the one on the left in the box was obviously different, and even flickered when the box was opened, it was shining golden, like a magic weapon, The gloss is very pretty.Although the one on the right doesn't have the precious light on the left, the divine energy is arranged evenly and thickly, and the texture looks better than the two on the table.The words and patterns are clearer, and the materials used are more abundant, probably more copper.

Jiang Jian lined up the four copper coins one by one, "In the past, the Shengang coins cast by Sanyuan officials were naturally the best, but now Sanyuan is also rotten, and the molds have not been updated for a long time, and the princes will privately cast bad coins. , mixed with the official models and attached to the gods, although they are all money released by the fairy palace, the quality is the worst.

When the Nangong family wanted to rebel, Mo Zhushan also helped the Immortal King to make imitation molds and cast military funds privately. You can see that the quality of this counterfeit money is better than Sanyuan’s. It is likely that the Nangong family dug out the old molds and cast them. . "

Li Fan was speechless for a while, the quality of this nima fake money is actually better than the official bad money.Is this disrupting the market economy?

"The quality of Shengang money flowing from the Central Plains has been deteriorating over the years. Sanyuan's financial resources are obviously not good enough. The Nangong family should also be aware that the Central Plains is minting coins on a large scale, and they are also forced to open mines to mint coins privately." Jiang Jian shook his head and sighed. "Originally, the Immortal Palace was badly minted, and Shengang's money had already been greatly reduced. It's just that Mozhu Mountain is far away, so I didn't feel it for a while. Now the Nangong family has also started private minting. Copper coins are flooding, and Liguo's goods have begun to skyrocket.

The most typical is the current price of silk, the lowest grade silk used to be ten guan, but now it has risen to fifty guan. "

Fuck...Is the fairy palace releasing water, and the Nangong family is also releasing water, I'm afraid that all twelve countries are releasing water...Flood disaster...

Jiang Jian saw that Li Fan's complexion was not good, and took out a small purse, took out a sling of blood-red copper coins and said, "Don't worry about mages, we all have them, so naturally we will give you priority in preparing silk. It can be exchanged for some blood baht money."

Li Fan took it over and took a look. He recalled that Fu Ling had introduced him before. This blood baht coin was red, slightly smaller than the Shengang coin. It seemed to have been impregnated with secret methods and animal blood. Li Fan sniffed it carefully and even Can smell a strange fishy smell.

"Blood baht money? By the way, it was issued by the Divine Cult... But isn't the Divine Cult an enemy? And why not use the money for soldiers made by Xuanmen?"

Jiang Jian said, "Of course the money for soldiers is the best, but the amount is too small, and most of it is circulated within the Taoist sect, so it is not needed for human transactions.

The blood baht coins of the god religion are made by their main altar using secret methods, which can be used to detect the authenticity, and are distributed to the congregation as rewards for meritorious service. Whoever receives how much is recorded, and those who forged it privately will be cut in half.

The countries to the west of Kunlun are all territory conquered by the gods. Hu merchants use this money more, and now it is much more reliable than Shengang money.

Now the influence of the God Sect has also penetrated into the Kun Kingdom, and many business houses in Liguo are also doing business with the God Sect in private. Smuggling is rampant in the northern border states, and blood baht money has flowed into the Central Plains on a large scale. "

Li Fan frowned, one ebb and flow, from the transposition of Shengang money, blood baht money, it can also be seen that the power of the god religion is getting bigger and bigger, not only Jiang Ji, but also the big companies that have mastered the resources can probably see it Xiangong is going bankrupt, and gradually loses confidence in Shengangqian.When Sanyuan can't mobilize the army with money and food, what kind of orthodoxy is it, how can he deal with the aggressive divine religion?

But right now, Liguo is still within the sphere of influence of the Immortal Palace, and the blood baht money cannot be circulated on the surface.Mozhushan still barters more, exchanging various magic weapons and materials according to the valuation of silk.Now the price of buying rice with Shengang money is one price a day, and it is getting cheaper and cheaper... Oh, there is actually another commodity that can be bought with Shengang money.

people, or slaves.

"Generally, an adult servant who works is [-] renminbi, and an underage boy is [-] renminbi. This is the market price of a child bank. They are all selected to be healthy and healthy. If they are apprentices who can write and count , or a girl with a delicate appearance, probably can be sold for more than [-] yuan."

It happened that Jiang Ji was short of manpower, so he bought a group of apprentices as helpers. Li Fan asked, these are all people who can read a few words, and if they are bought as assistants, they cost about [-] yuan each, which is [-] yuan from Shengang. through.

In fact, there are quite a lot of refugees from the north recently, and there are also many who voluntarily sell themselves, and they can accept them if they are willing to give him a full mouthful of food.Therefore, these refugees even had to wait in line to sell their bodies. Only when the Yahang secured them would someone come to buy them and earn a living.

The vile, cannibalistic old feudal society...

Of course, it is impossible for Li Fan to actually buy an outer courtyard, but he just met and asked, but he also knows that human trafficking is the social status quo of this era, not only cannot be banned, but even exists.

Because Mozhushan actually already belonged to the frontier area of ​​southern Xinjiang. After the Lijiang River, you will see the high mountains of Zhushan. Although there are many immortals, except for the exiled prisoners, people from the Central Plains are unwilling to migrate here on their own initiative.Therefore, Lou Guandao, the 'landlord', has been purchasing people from various countries through his bank to open up wasteland and cultivate land.Today's bustling towns near Louguan Pagoda were developed in the same way.Even many Mozhushan disciples like Jiang Liuqing were bought slaves.

Perhaps when the Central Plains, South China Sea, Kunlun, and wars started in all directions, there would be no need to buy and sell people, and many refugees would be forced by the current situation to move to Mozhu Mountain and open up new homes in the southern Shiwanda Mountains.

This may be an opportunity for Mo Zhushan, but it is not a blessing for the common people in the world...

In short, entrusting the sales of garbage and buying flying boats to Jiang Ji's shopkeeper, Li Fan flew to Louguan Tower to confirm the identity of Qing Tingfeng fellow Taoist.

It was also the first time for him to see the soul lamp of Mo Zhushan disciple with his own eyes.The place is quite easy to find, in a large courtyard like a clan ancestral hall at the back of the Louguan Dao Pagoda, there are rows of people inside, and at a glance, they are all Daohuo with green core and white flames.

As long as you receive the Daoist talisman from Mozhushan Lou Guandao, you can put a name on the bronze shelf inside, get a celadon oil dish, light a little light, and it will be a soul lamp.

This soul lamp is also used to inform the disciples of life and death, and to remind the fellow disciples to help. If the lamp falters and is almost extinguished, it shows that the disciples are in danger of dying.And death is like a lamp going out, if the disciple falls, the soul lamp will naturally go out.

The lamp guard here is a Golden Core sorcerer. After all, the soul lamp is not a particularly profound secret method, but it is just a reminder to the sect, so that your soul lamp will not be knocked over, and I am just like that.If it is overturned, it will be overturned, just start over again.

Of course, if there is no official registration under the name of Lou Guandao, naturally it will not specialize in the production of soul lamps.

Li Fan gave the triangular yellow talisman to the judiciary who was on duty in the lamp department. He explained his purpose, and the other party also threw the yellow talisman including bones into the brazier and checked it for a while.The real body of this fellow Taoist was found out.He also found the backup of the Taoist certificate and the celadon lamp bowl for lighting the soul lamp to Li Fan.

This person is Zhao Jingtai, the last head of the Qing Ting Sect. Because the sect suffered too much damage in the crusade against the demon clan to open up the Black Bamboo Mountain, and in the fight with the Black Lotus Sect, it was said that he was left alone, and then suddenly the soul lamp went out. The whereabouts, and no disciples and family members, so the Zhushan Qingting Sect broke the lineage. According to the records, it has been more than 200 years.

This is also true, old man Qing Ting mentioned that he was expelled from the Taoist sect 200 years ago, and was rescued by the mountain lord and lived temporarily in Qing Ting Peak.At that time, the Qing Ting faction should have disappeared, or it was not the owner of the mountain who made the decision.

At that time, even Qing Tingsou, the candidate disciple of the head of the Yuanying Realm of the Xuanmen Shenxiao Sect, would be cut off for inexplicable reasons such as colluding with the remnants of the Luo Sect. The remnant evils were at their worst when they left the country.Mo Zhushan probably also thought that Zhao Jingtai was killed by the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect.

After all, outsiders don't know that the Qing Ting Sect also has a secret room for cultivation on the top of the mountain. Zhao Jingtai was conspired to die in it, and the iron gate was sealed by the murderer with rocks. Naturally, there is no proof of death.

Li Fan couldn't help frowning, he actually found someone, and it's the last generation of the Qing Ting Sect. If there are no disciples and relatives to pass on, it's not clear why it will be broken. It's really miserable for casual cultivators...

At first, he was worried that the generation of the remains was too early, and he didn't even have a soul lamp.It turns out that the specific name can be traced back to 200 years ago, and the Qingting faction has no disciples, but the murderer was able to enter the secret room, probably a casual cultivator who made close friends with Zhao Jingtai?Could it be that he is also a monk from Black Bamboo Mountain?
For practitioners, 200 years is not long or short. In the best case, the murderer may have died long ago. In the worst case, he might have reached the Nascent Soul Realm.And maybe Liu Qing, who are from the southern sect, also knew Zhao Jingtai.

However, if the murderer is still alive, why hasn't the murder weapon and dagger been disposed of for so many years?Could it be that the dagger has nothing to do with the murderer, but just a trick to put blame on others?Or maybe Zhao Jingtai just killed himself?Who sealed that door?
No matter what, Li Fan still took the remains of the identity of the Mozhushan Taoist friend and went to Louguan Pagoda to register. There is a peak in Zhushan named after the Qingting Sect. The disciples of this line must also be Mozhushan For those who have made outstanding contributions, the last head of the family at least has a saying that when a person dies and the lamp is extinguished, he can rest in peace.

Unexpectedly, he just landed on the ground when he turned to Louguan Pagoda. Before he could enter the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him "Qingyue! Qingyue!"

"Who?"

Li Fan subconsciously turned his head to look, and suddenly saw a monk with a scarlet head in yellow clothes and a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck striding forward from behind.The monk grinned, as if he was an old friend who knew Li Fan, but that smile was indescribably weird.

Look carefully again, where is the monk, it is clearly a skin bag, the mouth and eyes are curved like crescent moons, as if smiling, and there is no flesh and blood inside.

And those are not Buddhist beads, but the sarcoma on the neck of this human-shaped skin, stacked together, like a string of beads, and there is a smiling face like a monk growing on the sarcoid, facing towards him together. Li Fan laughed,

"Qingyue", "Qingyue" and "Qingyue" have to keep calling.

'Li Fan's mood dropped a little'

'Li Fan's mood dropped a little'

'Li Fan's mood dropped a little'

……

There were 28 sarcoma like beads, and every time he called out, the system would pop up an alarm, and 28 messages of "drop a little" all at once filled the entire screen in Li Fan's field of vision.

Then Li Fan watched the monk walking towards him with a smile, stretched out his fat hand to his chest, as if he wanted to dig out his heart together.

But that fat hand didn't touch Li Fan, it was held.

Immortal Liang held the dog's tail grass in his mouth, frowned into a character horoscope, and squinted at the fat man, "Fellow Daoist Yundougeo, what is the word for upper and lower, and where is the blood of the three mountains?"

The scarlet-headed monk turned his big face to Liang Zhenren and smiled, the tumors on his neck screamed, "Qingyue——!!"

'Li Fan's mood dropped a little'

Then Li Fan found that his hands moved up, inserted into his arms, took out the stone box from the robe, and handed it to the other party, but before handing it over to the other party, Li Fan's hands suddenly snapped. stopped.

"That's what you are here for."

The scarlet-headed monk was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Li Fan, twisting his neck, "Qingyue!"

"Qing Nima's head!" Li Fan also opened his eyes.

A ray of red light swept out from between his brows, like a laser cutting the skin from the midline.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

A shrill cry resounded through the sky, causing crows and birds to fly into the sky, and all the cats and dogs in the town barked.

And the skin bag and the yellow clothes fell on the ground like a punctured balloon.

It's too shameless for this lazy... to be a monster at the gate of Louguan Pagoda in broad daylight! ?

Holding half of the skin bag, Liang Zhenren turned to look at Li Fan, took out a sweat towel from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"I'm fine..." Li Fan froze for a moment, suddenly felt a tingling pain on his face, took the sweat towel and wiped his face, only to find that the sweat towel was stained red with blood!
It turned out that after these two sentences, blood had already overflowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and drenched the front of his robe!

Immortal Liang frowned, and looked at the stone box in Li Fan's hand, "What kind of thing is this that provoked a god to come and curse you?"

Li Fan said with a cold face, "...it's nothing, it's just garbage picked up in the mountains."
