The sword is the devil

Chapter 618 The Storm Is Coming 2
In the sky, an ordinary Taoist-style floating raft slowly landed outside Zhongqing City. In the light and shadow, two Kun Xius showed their figures, looking at the tall city wall of Zhongqing City with solemn expressions.

"Every time I come here, it's like being a thief. Now it's difficult to do business in a fair and honest way. I don't know when such a day will be the end."

Landing frowned, with dissatisfaction in his words.

The voice of the woman walking with her was calm, "It's good to get used to it. As long as you can get the rough ore of Geng Jing, it's nothing to be wronged. Master and the others need this batch of Jing ore, otherwise there are many utensils that can't be made. Expand, everyone is waiting for the rice to cook..."

The two are old acquaintances of Anhe Taoist Hou Tiao, Lan Ruo Lanting. After decades, as outstanding talents among this generation of An He's disciples, they have also advanced to the three realms of Tongtian. Lanting is now in the Tongxuan realm, and Lan Ruo The xinxing is better, and now it is already in the state of feeling the spirit.

They were ordered to come to Pingliangzhou for the sake of Geng concentrate, which is becoming more and more in short supply. Due to some special reasons, some people are continuously hoarding this strategic material that is widely used in the control of utensils, so it is becoming more and more difficult to get it on the market. To get it, this is no longer a question of price, but a question of whether there is a price but no market.

The two sisters are not businessmen, but they have a good image, a sweet mouth, and are meticulous and thoughtful in their work, so they are not easy to be targeted by interested people. Therefore, they have been the source of goods in this field in the past few years, and they have accumulated some contacts, even if they still can't make a large number of people. Purchase, but small batches can still be obtained.

Gathering up their mood, the two sisters walked into Zhongqing City one by one, and began to contact the source of goods in the shops they were familiar with. In their opinion, it should not be too difficult, but this time it was extremely difficult.

Walking all over familiar and unfamiliar shops, there is one result - no goods.

Even if they think they have suppressed their purchases to the lowest level, they still have no way to buy; and in the process, they finally know why this is the case, because the new Pingliang Prefecture captain is tyrannical and greedy. , Excessive demands, so that the sky is angry and people complain, and evil guests come to the door.

The white-eyed wolf captain, this is what many businessmen in Zhongqing City called the new captain derogatoryly. But it has really made all the merchants involved in the business of entering Geng Mine tireless. The group of criminals from the captain's mansion relied on the captain's waist, and these days they kept coming to the door, and they also took cards while investigating. To be unscrupulous.

Seeing the turbulent public opinion in Zhongqing City, it seems that there is a momentum gathering. They can also feel these things and dare not participate, but they are helpless in terms of their own goals.

Because most of the minerals were robbed back then, the prices of the rest in the market have risen, and no one has them in stock, or they would rather hoard them for a period of time in anticipation of higher returns. They ran for three days, but they found nothing.

"Sister, what should I do? It seems that no one has the goods, and no one is willing to ship them. Let's wait like this. Even if this year's Geng Mine slowly flows into the market, it will be a drop in the bucket. I'm afraid we may not be able to get a share of the pie."

Lan Ruo also frowned, "If you don't wait, what else can I do? But I don't think this embarrassing situation can last forever, and it will gradually get better. There is no clear statement on this in the market now. After this month's production comes out, let's take a look at the situation?"

The two were a little worried, but they couldn't think of any good solution for a while.They can't just leave like this, because the family is still looking forward to their materials waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Over the years, the two opposing factions in Anhe Daomen finally broke up and parted ways.

Because most of the members of the sect who took refuge in Wumen came from the southern cities of Anhe, including the city of God, they were also called Nan'anhe; most of the monks who chose to be independent were based in the north of Anhe, so they were called Bei'an He, its base camp is located in Sanjiang Mansion, where He Shendu stands like a tripod.

Even the territory is separated, the conflicts between each other can no longer be reconciled, and they can no longer be covered up, it is just a matter of making it clear that the horses and horses are fighting to the death.

The ancestors above were separated from the top of the mountain, three of Nan'an and two of Bei'an and two; the monks of Jindan and Tongtian three realms below also stood in line one after another, and a few who couldn't stand it chose to go away.

The two sisters Lan Ruolanting will of course follow their master Taoist Yao, and stand on the side of Bei'an and those people who chose to be independent. Over the years, they have had many disputes and entanglements with Nan'an and those people, and even bloodshed from time to time, but in the overall In terms of the situation, Bei'anhe is on the defensive, which is slightly worse than Nan'anhe. If you consider that the Wumen's investment is far greater than that of the Yanmen, it makes it difficult for these Anhe Taoists who are determined to be independent.

If the concept is too independent, you will be wary of helping others, and you will be afraid of losing yourself. This is the problem of Bei'an and yourself. Unlike Nan'an and Yimai who fell to the Wumen completely and thoroughly, they have the upper hand in many aspects. .

Including the production of utensils, there are many Taoists who are proficient in foreign objects in Bei'an and Yimai. This is a network of contacts, which also means a large demand for materials; other materials are good, there are always materials from different origins that can be substituted However, there are only too few production areas in the east and west continents such as Geng concentrate, and the distant water cannot quench the near thirst.

They didn't want to disappoint the master, and those craftsmen who were looking forward to Geng Jing, not only the Wumen were preparing, but they were also preparing.

When there are subtle changes in the atmosphere of the sky and the earth, it is fair to every monk and every force.

In Zhongqing City, there are countless forces who want to get the Geng concentrate; Yanmen Quanzhen is a part, their share is unshakable, and no one dares to interfere casually from their share, but because Jianxiu's demand for foreign objects is not strong, so this Portion share is not much.

Most of the remaining Geng Jing production is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers. It is difficult to say clearly the specific direction of the Geng Mine. These businessmen have gradually hidden the truth in the complicated multi-party trade in countless hand-to-hand transactions. It seems normal, but it doesn't feel normal.

What is abnormal is that when you want to buy a batch of Geng mines in large quantities, you will find that you can’t find a reliable source of goods, and what you can find are only fragmentary sources of goods, and many of them are inferior ores of poor quality. .

But their current problem is that they can't even buy these poor quality Geng Jing.

The two sisters were wandering aimlessly in the street, and it was difficult to ask an acquaintance to transfer it if they thought about this kind of thing, which was the same as asking someone to give up their interests.

Walking into a tea house, drinking a pot of tea, relatively silent, suddenly, Lan Ting rubbed his eyes,
"Sister, I seem to see an acquaintance?"
