I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 50 The Road to Wealth
ding ding dong ~~~
On the golden desert, the whistling wind mixed with the melodious sound of camel bells drifted into the distance, bringing a little bit of life to this dead desert.

Xu Yang took two camels and walked through the endless desert to the next city.

No one was walking with him on this road, because Xu Yang took a shortcut and walked in a straight line.

Moreover, this desert is actually not very big. It is only two days' journey in the right direction. Of course, this is usually a route chosen when there are few people. Large caravans like that take a detour.

Laka City is an ordinary small city located at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

However, because it is located on the edge of the ancient Silk Road, it can also get some exposure to the Silk Road. There are many merchants traveling from east to west, which makes this small town prosperous in commerce and the people are wealthy.

Outside the city, Xu Yang looked at the looming Tianshan Mountains in the distance, but he thought of the once famous Tianshan Tonglao.

I don’t know if there are any traces of the Lingjiu Palace?
But during this trip, Xu Yang was not planning to go to Tianshan Mountain to look for the ruins of Lingjiu Palace.

After all, hundreds of years have passed since the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the Tianlong Era. Lingjiu Palace appeared briefly, and no news came out again. It must have been wiped out by that guy Xu Zhu.

Moreover, Lingjiu Palace is not like an ancient tomb, but an open-air building.

There are also many people who know about Lingjiu Palace. Those guys at 36 Cave and 72 Island must have been coveting the martial arts of Lingjiu Palace. After the decline of Lingjiu Palace, those people must have searched the ruins countless times. , if I go now, I probably won’t be able to find even a single hair.

After exhaling a breath, Xu Yang led his two camels without looking back and followed the crowd into the city of Raqqa, admiring this wealthy and exotic town.

There are many business travelers on the street, and there are also many vendors along the street, selling various items. But what makes Xu Yang even more emotional is that the city of Raqqa is not big, but there are many races. Just by looking at his hairstyle and clothing, There are no less than seven or eight ethnic groups that can be recognized by appearance.

Among them are many Han Chinese, Arabs, and Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes. Well, according to the parlance of this era, they are Semu people.

Such a prosperous scene made Xu Yang quite moved. He recorded all these situations and sent people to open up relevant trade routes when he returned to Huashan.

After all, although Huashan had some savings at this time, it also collected rents from properties near Huashan, and other forces also regularly paid protection fees. These were Huashan's main financial income today.

But if this money is averaged over today's Huashan disciples, it is actually not much. It can even be said that these incomes can only maintain the status quo.

In order to further develop Huashan, apart from the number of masters and disciples within the sect, the most important thing is money.

As the saying goes: “It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.”

Instead of looking for a windfall for Huashan, it is better to find a way for Huashan to make money.

This land in the Western Region has been an important place connecting the east and west worlds since ancient times, and it is also a road full of wealth.

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit."

The Silk Road in history was not just because it was profitable, it allowed many people to participate, creating the brilliance of the Silk Road.

It is a pity that the descendants were unfilial and lost the Western Region without thinking about taking it back. As a result, there were many small countries in the Western Region, fighting each other endlessly.

Coupled with the harsh environment and rampant road bandits, it was too dangerous for ordinary people, and it was too far away from the Central Plains. This led to the interruption of trade routes and the gradual decline of the famous Silk Road.

But now that the Central Plains has returned to peace, at least the area from the Central Plains to the Western Regions is not completely blocked. Otherwise, there would be no Central Plains people in the city of Raqqa.And Xu Yang also took a fancy to this, and after the trip, he planned to go back to the mountain to find Yue Buqun and discuss using the power of the Huashan Sect to open up this road to wealth.

At that time, the precious stones and horses from the Western Regions will be very popular in the Central Plains, and the tea, silk and other things from the Central Plains will also be very popular in the West.

Even if you are not engaged in reselling goods, you can send your disciples to serve as caravan guards. Not only can you make money, but you can also improve your disciples' martial arts experience.

It can be said that except for some obstacles when opening up trade routes, everything else is profitable.

And with money and force at hand, how could the Huashan Sect not develop and grow?

Therefore, Xu Yang looked down on the world-famous Jianghu sect and the imperial court. He only focused on the one-third of an acre of land, why didn't he think about how to make the cake bigger and look further ahead.

In the Western Region, our Huashan Sect is about to decide.

After shopping for a long time, Xu Yang was tired, so he came to a restaurant.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Xu Yang discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hotel. It was not as noisy as in other hotels, but was very quiet and depressing.

With just one glance, Xu Yang noticed the source of this depression. There were a group of seven people wearing the same clothes. The clothes of these seven people were similar to the Central Plains Taoist robes, and each of them had a long sword.

The dress of these seven people made Xu Yang look a little suspicious. They should be dressed like people from the sect, and they were in the style of the Central Plains sect. Are these people disciples of which sect in the Central Plains?
Xu Yang was guessing in his mind, but he kept walking and walked straight into the hotel from the door.

In these few steps, without the obstruction of tables and chairs, Xu Yang suddenly noticed that beside these seven people, there was a man dressed as an ethnic minority lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

But looking at the man lying motionless on the ground, he was probably dead.

Based on the information he observed, Xu Yang quickly figured out the general situation of the matter. The seven people should be eating. The man didn't know whether he said something he shouldn't have said or disturbed others while they were eating. He was struck with a sword. The throat is sealed.

It was precisely because of the murder that there were so few people in the hotel and the atmosphere was so depressing.

However, they often kill people, and the other party is an ordinary person. It seems that these seven people are not good birds.

And just when Xu Yang looked at the corpse, the seven people who were eating also noticed Xu Yang walking into the lobby.

They couldn't help but notice, even though Xu Yang was also dressed as a Han Chinese and carrying a long sword in his hand, just like a wanderer.

However, although the seven people glanced at Xu Yang, no one stood up to say hello. At the same time, when the seven people turned around, there was a hint of arrogance on their faces.

It seems that he came from a famous family.After Xu Yang saw that hint of arrogance, he thought about it in his mind, and then found a remote location to sit down.

But just as he sat down, he heard a loud noise coming in outside the hotel, and it got closer and closer.

At the same time, Xu Yang also saw that the seven people not far away had no anger on their faces after hearing the sound, but instead had a slight smile on their faces.
