I said I'd go back in time

Chapter 248 Hurricane (30)

When Lin Xing and Tianlian were discussing the problems of the world, a mountain city not far ahead gradually fell into the sight of the two.

Unlike Qingming City where Lin Xing followed Tianlian last time, the mountain city in front of him still has a large construction site and many buildings under construction.

Looking at this scene, Lin Xing asked unexpectedly, "Is this a newly built city?"

Tianlian said at the side: "This mountain city is called Cangjiang City, which is a city recently rebuilt by the Mingshan Sect. The terrain of the Mingshan Mountain Range changes every year, so the Mingshan Sect will also expand the terrain every year... "

Just when Tianlian was introducing the Cangjiang City in front of Lin Xing, she saw several men in long robes coming up and smiling kindly at them.

"You two, do you want to buy land?"

"Are you interested in learning about the newly opened land veins in Cangjiang City?"

"I have a newly built building on the edge of the river. The owner is sincerely selling it and is willing to give it a [-]% discount. I'll take the two of you to have a look."

"I have a meditation room here. The landlord is in urgent need of money. It is absolutely cheap. Would you like to come and have a look? There is a carriage over there, and I will take you to the city."

Looking at the people who came forward to sell the land to them one after another, Tian Lian smiled slightly: "Everyone, we don't buy land, please give way."

Following Tianlian's slight smile, the faces of the people who gathered around the scene froze, as if they ignored the existence of Lin Xing and Tianlian for an instant, and dispersed in a blink of an eye, and soon turned towards other passing people enthusiastically. rushed over.

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 houses, he asked curiously: "So many people come to sell land, could it be that the land here is not easy to sell? ?”

Tianlian said: "The land price of the Mingshan faction has risen to the sky, and it's time to fall back."

"People who have the strength to buy land are more or less aware of this, and naturally refuse to invest any more money to buy it."

"Even the newly built Cangjiang City has been affected, and many construction sites under construction have stopped."

Walking into Cangjiang City, Lin Xing could immediately sense from his spiritual sense that this city was much more desolate than the Qingming City he had been to last time.

There are very few pedestrians on the large streets, and everyone is in a hurry, but the rows of brand-new practice rooms are empty, and the small compartments are like empty beehives.

Lin Xing could also see that many practice rooms had been pasted on the outer walls, which were all kinds of banners about selling houses and land.

The entire Cangjiang city seemed to be being abandoned.

Tianlian said: "Lin Shaoxia, the target of your luck collection this time is Zheng Tu, who is the head of the Zheng family of the Mingshan School. Even if the head of the Mingshan School sees him, they have to call him uncle."

Lin Xing nodded slightly, remembering that the Lord of Qingming City, who he collected luck last time, was also a direct descendant of the Zheng family.

This Zheng family is one of the three major families in the Mingshan Sect. Its ancestor was one of the founders of the Mingshan Sect. The Zheng family has a long history and occupies a pivotal position in the Mingshan Sect.

"Zheng Tu has a lot of land in his hands. He has seven of the strongholds on Mount Ming alone, and this city of Cangjiang is one of them."

"Now that the land price in Mingshan is about to fall, 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 been guarded by a strong man of the third pass day and night. If he wants to collect it, his luck is not easy."

Lin Xing asked in surprise: "The master of the third inheritance guards by his side day and night?"

In Lin Xing's impression, each of the powerhouses of the third inheritance is the overlord of one party, capable of ruling the world with his own power.

He never thought that there would be a strong man from the third inheritance willing to guard others day and night like a bodyguard.

Tian Lian smiled faintly, and said: "Each of the nine sects has their own mysteries and differences, and the geniuses of the Mingshan sect all have to rely on the cultivation of the ground veins cultivated and built by the sect."

"And every master who wants to cultivate a unique skill and break through to the third inheritance needs to refine an entire earth vein."

"As a result, almost every strongman of the Mingshan faction who breaks through to the third inheritance 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 in the Mingshan sect, there will be strong men from the third inheritance who serve the middle and upper echelons like servants."

Just as the two were exchanging information about the Mingshan faction, they saw a quarrel coming from ahead.

It turned out that many people blocked in front of the city lord's mansion and shouted something.

"When I bought the land back then, you agreed that the newly repaired land veins are full of inspiration and the cultivation effect is the best in the whole mountain. The price will definitely increase in the future. Why do you lower the price now!"

"I asked the Mingshan faction to borrow so much money to buy the practice room, and you turned around and said that the price will be lowered. Our whole life's hard work has been ruined by you."

"The land veins in the west of the city have not been repaired until now, how long will you delay? Our whole family has already paid the money!"

Lin Xing sensed a little through his spiritual sense, and vaguely knew what happened.

Tianlian sighed from 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 land price falls, it means that all the money they will earn in the next few decades will be evaporated."

"For those big households who buy land, rent land, or rent land to buy land, it is even more difficult for them to pay off their debts, and they will go bankrupt and become slaves to the Mingshan sect."

At this moment, Tianlian looked at a nine-story tower in the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Look, Shaoxia Lin, that Zheng Tu is on that tower."

……

on the tower.

A man with a fat body, fair skin, and dressed in Chinese clothes stood on the tower overlooking the scene of Cangjiang City.

There is no trace of labor on the man's face or hands...not even the slightest trace of cultivation.

His delicate skin and soft hair can tell that his body is well maintained.

And his plump figure made him stand out from the crowd of strong men of the Mingshan sect around him.

This man in Chinese clothes is Zheng Tu, the current head of the Zheng family of the Mingshan School.

I saw Zheng Tu looking at the rioting people outside the city lord's mansion, and snorted coldly: "A group of mud-legged people earn two pieces of silver a day to buy a palm-sized earth vein room. The family is on an equal footing?"

"They don't understand at all that we rewarded them with their own skills. When they obediently repay their debts, they can contribute more to my Mingshan faction."

"Each of them thinks that if they practice for 30 to 500 years, they will be able to catch up with my Zheng family's accumulation of more than [-] years."

"Don't you think so? Xuan Yin."

After speaking, he looked at the Xuanyin man standing beside him.

The person from Xuanyin Yin nodded slightly and said, "Elder Zheng, what is the reason you called me back this time?"

Zheng Tu smiled and said, "You should repair the land veins of Cangjiang City."

……

Outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the figures in the tower, Lin Xing said, "Could it be that the weakest one is Zheng Tu?"

Tianlian nodded: "The Zheng family has controlled many masters of the Mingshan sect, even if the headed family does not practice, it is enough to dominate one side."

Lin Xing asked curiously: "The Mingshan faction has been established for hundreds of years. Didn't the land price go up or down before? Didn't it fall until today?"

Tianlian said: "Lin Shaoxia, you can't regard the land price of the Mingshan faction as a simple transaction, because the Mingshan faction is one of the nine sects in the world, and it has enough force to sweep one side."

"In the past hundreds of years, land prices have plummeted more than once, but the Mingshan faction can survive safely. One of the important factors is this extremely strong force."

"For a long time, whenever the price of land has soared, the Mingshan Mountains have been thriving all the way, always attracting many people to live and practice in the mountains."

"They will dream of becoming a master with the help of the land veins, and look forward to working hard every day. After decades of hard work, they can have their own land veins in Mingshan. Mingshan borrowed money to buy land and houses."

"And when more and more people come in, and the land price gradually increases to the limit and starts to fall, the value of the land or houses that these people bought with their life's struggle... will be wiped out in an instant, and they themselves will be wiped out because of the debt they owe. The debts of the Mingshan faction have completely become a slave here."

"At this time, they will realize that the Mingshan faction has been playing with them from the beginning to the end. It is impossible for them to have their own place in the Mingshan faction. It is just that after working in Mingshan for decades, they turned themselves into Mingshan sects. A servant of the Mountain Sect."

"Of course, this is not absolute. Some talented and successful practitioners will be accepted by the Mingshan faction, and the best of them will join a big family like the Zheng family and become a part of this giant. "

"And after the Mingshan faction accepted a new batch of servants and geniuses, Mingshan was vacated again, and gradually attracted new people, and the land price gradually began a new round of skyrocketing..."

"During this round after round of operations, the Mingshan faction relies on extremely strong force to suppress all dissatisfaction."

Hearing Tianlian's words, Lin Xing seemed to be able to see in the past hundreds of years that the Mingshan faction had squeezed batch after batch of people who dreamed of changing their lives.

And when he looked at Zheng Tu on the tower, he could vaguely feel an extremely strong luck appearing on the other party.

This kind of luck is so strong and deep that it can be called the most lucky person Lin Xing has seen since he practiced the Liumi Immortal Alchemy Method.

Compared with the luck he collected from the lord of Qingming City before, it seems to be nothing compared to it.

"As expected of a person who has mastered many leylines of Mingshan, the luck on this body is indeed extraordinary."

"To collect the luck from this person, I'm afraid I have to find a way to outsmart him..."
