No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 148 Chaos arose
As time passed, Xu Shun could clearly feel that the world of immortal cultivation had become chaotic since the murder incident.

First of all, there were obviously fewer people in Qingyun Market.

Not only are there fewer people coming to buy things, but there are also fewer people selling local specialties.

The flying boats that came and went brought news from all over the world, such as which city was destroyed, which sect was shrouded in a sea of ​​blood and their life and death were unknown, and which flying boat was robbed.

Yes, even the flying boats in the sky were robbed.

The method of robbery is very simple. After pretending to be a guest and getting on the flying boat, they attack the monk who is operating the flying boat, kill him and steal the entire flying boat.

In the past, there were very few such daring behaviors in the world of immortal cultivation, and even if there were, people were afraid of the consequences.

Having the ability to rob does not necessarily mean you can escape the pursuit of caravans and sects!

Even if they escape thousands of miles, or for decades or even hundreds of years, they will be found and killed as a warning to others.

Robbing a flying boat would not only cause damage to the caravan, but also to the entire trade route, and would also cause damage to the nearby market and the sect that controlled the market and issued currency.

For example, if a flying boat on the flying boat route from Qingyun Market to Feixue Mountain Market is robbed, it means that this route is no longer safe.

If the flying boats leading from Qingyun Market to other places were robbed again, then Qingyun Market would become unsafe in the eyes of the cultivators.

If you're worried when you go shopping, then why not just buy something? Just make do with what you have.

After that, the number of flying boats, goods, and people arriving at Qingyun Market will decrease, causing prices in Qingyun Market to rise, and the number of people buying goods will also decrease.

As time went on, the circulation of silver in Qingyun Market was affected!

Qingyun Market is the core interest of Qinghua Sect. Only with Qingyun Market can the circulation of Qinghua Sect's Qingyin be affected.

Qingyin is valuable only because it is circulated. If it is not circulated, it is just counterfeit money!

The circulation of Qingyin is damaged, which means they are poaching the Qinghua faction!

This shows the consequences of the flying boat being robbed.

Therefore, the robbery of a flying boat is an extremely serious incident.

But such incidents suddenly emerged like mushrooms after a rain, and Xu Shun had heard of more than three or five of them during this period.

Even if there were a sect to take charge and hunt down the murderer, it would not be done in a short time. Moreover, the speed of handling could not keep up with the speed of the robbery, which encouraged the robbery.

So Xu Shun also heard that many caravans were recruiting independent cultivators with clean family backgrounds to form guard teams, with the purpose of protecting the flying boats.

Some sects even specialize in protecting caravans, doing work similar to that of an escort agency.

After the immortals came, the world of immortal cultivation really changed, but it became a bit magical.

That day, Xu Shun came to the place in Qingyun Market where caravan flying boats were docked.

There are many places in Qingyun Market where you can dock flying boats. For example, Didi taxis usually dock outside Qingyun Market. Ordinary flying boats are divided into two places, east and west.

The cargo flying boat is in the east, which is called the East Field; the manned flying boat is in the west, which is called the West Field.

Where Xu Shun is is the West Field.

Today is the day that Zigeng comes back, and Xu Shun happens not to be on duty, so he comes here to welcome him.

I hope that this bad friend of mine will not be safe and sound, but will be missing some limbs!
As Xu Shun was thinking about it, he saw in the distant sky a row of green flying boats flying towards Qingyun Market in the shape of a V-shape.

At the highest point of the flying boat in the front, there was a person standing there. That person was Zi Geng.

Soon, the flying boat arrived at Qingyun Market. After Zi Geng handed over the caravan's matters, he was very happy to see Xu Shun.

He felt that he had made this friend for nothing. "Oh my, Junior Brother is so thoughtful!" Zi Geng said happily, "Although there were some setbacks this time, it was relatively smooth."

"I have gained a lot from this voyage. I will treat you later. Let's have a meal together!"

Xu Shun looked at the intact purple stem and said, "I thought it was Tianfulou!"

Tianfulou is the best restaurant in Qingyun Market. It sells rare ingredients from all over the world, especially crabs from the North Sea, which are as big as an eight-immortal table.

Bieyuanju is just an ordinary small restaurant in a remote location. Only local tycoons like Zigeng and Xu Shun can find it. Their specialty is Panlong eel.

"Ha~ Tianfulou!" Zigeng patted his chest and said, "When I become rich someday, I will definitely invite you to Tianfulou for a gathering."

"How did you become so rich?" Xu Shun asked in a low voice: "Could it be..."

Do you want to be the leader?

"Of course I have cultivated my primordial spirit!" Zi Geng said as a matter of course: "Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"

"A real man lives between heaven and earth..." Xu Shun felt that Zi Geng was like a salted fish.

"Go away... Junior brother, please don't make fun of me!" Zi Geng felt that Xu Shun wanted him dead.

Before the ancestors came back, his master was the head of the sect. Now that the ancestors have returned, his master...

It’s the deputy head!

The real leader is the Qinghua Patriarch!
"Let's go! Let's go to Bieyuanju!"

So the two of them walked and talked.

"I heard that there have been many people blocking and robbing flying boats recently. Have you encountered any of them, brother?" Xu Shun asked.

Zi Geng nodded and said, "I have also heard about it in Feixue Mountain Collection."

"It is said that a caravan in the north found a Buddha statue emitting Buddha light. They thought it was some kind of Buddha treasure. But within a few days, all the members of the caravan converted to Buddhism. The caravan boss also became a different person and wanted to build a temple."

"Is it so weird?" Xu Shun complained: "Who knew about this?"

Since all the caravan members believe in Buddhism and the caravan boss seems to have become a different person, who has experienced this?

"The travelers who followed the flying boat said so. Many people saw it." Zi Geng said, "There are also people who saw the jade ruyi, yellow talisman, idols and the like, and they all suffered misfortune."

"The world has suddenly become difficult. I thought the immortals..."

He originally thought that immortals at least looked like human beings, but now no matter how he looks at them, they don't look like human beings at all.

Xu Shun just said: "Have you met?"

"I met him once!" Zi Geng saw the gatehouse of Bieyuanju not far away and said, "I met him on my way back."

"When we came back, we were driving smoothly, but suddenly it got dark."

"Later, the uncle on the boat took action and slashed the sky with a sword, and the sky became bright again. At this time, we found that we had deviated from the course, but fortunately we did not stray too far."

Zi Geng said: "Master uncle probably has some strange magic weapon to cover this piece of sky by force."

"I just heard that others tried to stop a flying boat by sneaking onto it and launching a surprise attack. Now they are trying to stop a flying boat by force? What's the difference between this and a bandit blocking the road?" Xu Shun said as he entered Bieyuanju.

"Yes!" Zi Geng also sighed and said, "It's really despicable!"
