Xiuxian Baiyi System, I know everything
Chapter 43: Move to the inner area?
Who could it be?
Xu Feng opened the door with doubts.
He found that the person standing outside was Mr. Liang, whom he had not seen for a while.
"Mr. Liang, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"
He hurriedly invited.
"I won't go in. I came to you this time because I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Well, our alley has been uneasy recently. You'd better stay in the room more and try not to go out."
Haven't I been staying in the room all the time? What's the point of telling me this?
But from what the old man said, it seemed that something happened in the alley during his retreat, so he asked directly:
"Mr. Liang, has anything happened recently?"
Mr. Liang stroked his beard, sighed, and replied solemnly:
"I am afraid that you have been in retreat and are not well-informed, so I came to inform you.
A few nights ago, there were seven or eight major home robberies in our alley and the two alleys next door, and all the monks who were robbed were killed."
When Xu Feng heard this, he took a breath of cold air. He was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If the criminals broke into his home, he might not be able to resist at all.
"According to the investigation of the Fangshi patrol team, the perpetrators should be a gang with at least five or six people. The lowest cultivation level is about the sixth level of Qi Refining, and there are also cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The main targets they choose are cultivators who have a skill, a lot of wealth, but not too high cultivation. Considering that you are a talisman maker, I came here to remind you to be more careful."
What's the use of being careful? The current situation is that we are in the open and they are in the dark. We are completely in a passive situation. Moreover, the other party is very powerful and can directly break into the house to rob. You can't hide even if you want to.
Looking at the old man who was also worried, Xu Feng continued to ask:
"So what is the patrol team of the market town for? Didn't they send people to round up this group of robbers? No, it should be repairs. Just watch them do whatever they want?"
"This incident not only alarmed the patrol team, but also the market town management office. The Liu family, Tiangang Sect and the loose cultivator alliance all took this matter very seriously. They sent a team of people to investigate this matter with the patrol team.
They lay in ambush for several days in a row. The robbers seemed to have received the news and immediately stopped. As soon as they withdrew, the robbers went out to commit crimes again.
This incident made the leading cultivator very angry. I heard that the three families had discussed it and took turns to patrol here all night, so no new incidents occurred."
Hearing this, Xu Feng's eyes lit up. If so, wouldn't the matter be resolved? The cultivators sent by the three families must be elites. As long as they are deterred, the robbers will never dare to act rashly as long as their brains are not broken.
He told this idea to Elder Liang, but he was scolded by him.
"Do you think the cultivators of the three families will patrol for you without doing anything else? You are thinking very beautifully. Even the cultivators in the inner area don't have such treatment, let alone those of us living in the outer area.
So according to my estimation, this situation will not last too long. If the robbers can control their temper and don't continue to commit crimes, the cultivators of the three families will all retreat within ten days."
These words broke his fantasy. It seems that others are unreliable, and he can only rely on himself.
Thinking of this, he first thanked Elder Liang. If he hadn't specially informed him of this news, he would still be in the dark, and he might be killed one night.
Then, since he already knew about this, he must take certain precautions, so he turned back to the room, put the first-level middle-grade golden light talisman he had just drawn successfully into the storage bag, and then went straight to the inner area.
At the end of the alley, he was checked again, more strictly than last time, and the number of people in charge of the check also increased, a total of nine, and each of them had a higher cultivation than him.
After arriving in the inner area, he did not delay, did not go anywhere, and went directly to the Ju Fu Pavilion.
"Xu Daoyou, you are really a rare guest. Haven't you handed over the talismans for this month? What do you want to do this time?"
Yinglong was responsible for receiving him. The two of them were now familiar with each other, so there were not too many polite words in their conversation.
"Ying Daoyou, is the master here? I have something urgent to see him."
He got straight to the point.
Seeing that his expression was indeed quite anxious, Yinglong stopped thinking about joking with him and shouted directly to the back hall:
"Master, please come out for a moment, Xu Daoyou has something to see you."
"I'm coming."
As soon as the voice fell, the old shopkeeper with a hint of fireworks appeared in front of the two.
"Shopkeeper, excuse me."
Xu Feng stood up and greeted him. He judged from the shopkeeper's state that he was preparing to refine a weapon just now. This was also what Yinglong told him after long-term contact, saying that his master was a first-class top-grade refiner.
"Okay, you and I are family, just say what you want to say, I'm still busy later."
The shopkeeper seemed to be disturbed, a little unhappy, and a little impatient.
"It's like this, I don't know if the shopkeeper has heard about the frequent home robberies in our outer district recently. Unfortunately, the recent robberies happened in the 'Si' district where I live.
This junior is here to ask for advice. You are well-informed. You must know how to deal with this kind of thing, right? "
After finishing speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper eagerly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the shopkeeper did not express his opinion, but turned to ask his disciple:
"Did something like this happen recently? How come I didn't hear anything about it?"
Hearing the master's question, Yinglong did not dare to be negligent and answered hurriedly and respectfully:
"To be honest, Master, my disciple heard about this matter when he was inquiring about the price of talismans a few days ago. However, considering that the matters in the outer area have little to do with our inner area, I did not inform you."
"It seems that it is indeed true." The shopkeeper nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Actually, it's not difficult to solve this problem."
"Please give me some advice, senior."
"You just move from the outer district to the inner district. The living environment in the inner district is good, so it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen."
I thought you had some clever tricks up your sleeve? Isn't this what I can't think of? But the rent in the inner area is several times that of the outer area. I can’t afford it at all, okay?
Seeing that Xu Feng was silent, the shopkeeper seemed to be aware of his difficulties, so he changed his tone and continued to give him some advice.
