Volume 1 Chapter 251 Thousand Qi Peak
Su Tang and Gu Suifeng couldn't help but glance at each other, they didn't come to Dark Moon City for a vacation, but to grab food, since they brought a word, then there would definitely be trouble.
"It depends on what kind of trouble it is. Su Tang said lightly.
"Do you see the mountain ahead?" the samurai gestured forward.
Su Tang looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and there was a strange mountain peak in the distance, very steep and abrupt, like a bamboo shoot.
"See. ”
"That mountain is almost a thousand meters high, so it is called Qianqi Peak, shaped like a sword, and some people call it Sword Mountain. "That bushido.
"Not a kilometer. Su Tang said.
"It doesn't matter, it's just high anyway. The warrior smiled and said: "Qianqi Peak is the property of the Huai family, the Huai family was originally the first family in Dark Moon City, but half a year ago, the Huai family went to sea to hunt a fierce sea beast, but I didn't expect the sea beast to be promoted in the battle, and encountered a storm, and the Huai family's cultivators were almost wiped out, and only a few servants fled back." ”
"The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, although there are rules in Dark Moon City, whoever goes too far, naturally someone stands up to administer justice, but there are only the eldest and third ladies left in the Huai family, and there is no way to support the scene, and they have been deceived a few times, and the Huai family has slowly fallen. The warrior said: "A few days ago, the guards of the Huai family opened the secret vault, took a lot of good things, and then dispersed in a hurry, and the servants saw that they were not the head, and they all ran away, and now in the huge hall, it is estimated that there are only seven or eight people left." ”
"Didn't you just say that there are rules in Dark Moon City, and the guards steal the things of the master's house, and no one cares?"
"There are only a few people who are qualified to uphold justice, and the guards of the Huai family took things and threw them under their command, is this justice...... Naturally, there is none. The warrior smiled wryly.
"Why are you talking to us about this?" asked Su Tang again.
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a house?" the warrior said: "The eldest lady and the third miss of the Huai family know that if this continues, that little bit of property will be swallowed up sooner or later, and there will be no scum left, and they are ready to sell Qianqifeng, and then leave Dark Moon City and go somewhere else." ”
"Oh?" Su Tang immediately became interested, but although he thought he was a rich man now, he wanted to buy an entire mountain...... It doesn't seem to be enough: "Then it has to be sold for a sky-high price, right?"
"It's sky-high...... The eldest lady said, just 30,000 gold coins. "That bushido.
"Thirty thousand?" Su Tang was dumbfounded.
"How much does an egg cost here?" Gu Suifeng hurriedly asked.
"Two coppers. "That bushido.
"It's such a big mountain, and there are many houses on the mountain, and they only sell for 30,000 yuan, can they still get our turn?" Gu Suifeng said.
Su Tang glanced at Gu Suifeng, this old man actually knows everything, if he wants to quickly understand the economy of a place, it is most convenient to start with economic indicators, and the important economic indicators are eggs, pork, beef, rice noodles and so on. In such a large area, the selling price is equivalent to more than tens of thousands of eggs, which is almost free.
"I can't sell it. The warrior sighed: "Originally, the eldest lady was going to sell it for 900,000 yuan, but Gu Shao of Tianji Building spoke, no one was allowed to buy it, and if he bought it, he was the enemy of Tianji Tower, but the eldest lady lowered the price every day, and she didn't sell it today." ”
"Tianji Tower?"
"It's the Wandering Samurai Guild. ”
Su Tang understood, and he was originally walking with him: "What is the enmity between Tianjilou and the Huai family?
"Gu Shao's open-mindedness...... It is a well-known jaw. The warrior said: "Tianjilou once proposed to the Huai family, but was rejected by the old man of the Huai family, Gu Shao also had a drunken teasing of the third miss of the Huai family, and happened to meet the eldest lady of the Huai family and the guards of the Huai family, but he was beaten not to mention, and he was stripped naked and thrown into the gutter...... And so it ended. ”
"It seems that Tianjilou's power is not small, if he doesn't let others buy it, no one will really dare to buy it?" Gu Suifeng asked.
"It's not that I don't dare. The warrior said: "In the past, what happened in Dark Moon City, it was all those few families who sat down and talked slowly, today I take a step back, then tomorrow you have to let me take a step, face is given by people, everything is top-notch, there is no good end, let's just say this Huaijia, if it wasn't too domineering before, it wouldn't be in trouble, everyone has to fight to step on a few feet." ”
"Do you know someone from the Huai family?" asked Su Tang.
"yes. The warrior was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The eldest lady once saved me once, but I think she is too difficult now, so ...... That's why I told you that leaving Darkmoon City earlier would be a good thing for her, and if she continues to stay, maybe something will happen. ”
"Thirty thousand gold coins?" Su Tang was still a little unconvinced.
"That's right. The warrior said, "But the eldest lady has a request, she has to escort them to Storm City before exchanging the house deed." ”
"Let's go over there. Su Tang said.
Su Tang and the others walked in the direction of Qianqi Peak, and the warrior introduced the past of the Huai family while walking, a long time ago, the Huai family was very prosperous, but at that time, Dark Moon City was not very stable, and the Huai family also fought too hard, the old man of the Huai family, seven brothers, two sisters, but the only one who survived to start a family was the old man. There are three sons and one daughter under the old man, and they have been fighting for more than ten years, only the eldest son and the younger daughter are left, the other two sons died in the conflict, and several wives were also killed in an attack; In this generation, there are two grandsons and two granddaughters, and half a year ago, they took the cultivators in their families to hunt a sea beast, but the whole army was wiped out, and only the two granddaughters who stayed at home were saved
The warrior's expression was full of embarrassment, saying that the old man of the Huai family often said that cultivation is like a battlefield, and if you don't enter, you will die.
Wangshan ran down the horse, Qianqi Peak does not look far, but to the foot of the mountain, it took almost an hour, close to see, Qianqi Peak is not very steep, because there is a difference in viewing angle in the distance.
In front of it is a high wall, winding forward along both sides, as if the entire Qianqi Peak is enclosed in it, you can't see the end at a glance, Su Tang and the others walked into the restaurant on the side of the street, looking in from the second floor, the root of the wall is far away from the foot of the mountain, about five or six hundred meters, there is nothing in it, a tender green grass.
There are neat stone steps in the center, like a ladder all the way up to the peak, there is even a waterfall, but the amount of water is very small, like a silver belt hanging in the grass, the mountain is lush and green, overgrown with grass and trees, Su Tang liked it at a glance.
"Inside the walls are all the homesteads of the Huai family?" asked Su Tang.
"yes. The warrior nodded.
Su Tang smacked his tongue secretly, his vision is not shallow, he has traveled to many cities, and has met many children of cultivation families, such as the Xi family in Red Leaf City, the Wanjia family in Flying Deer City, etc., but their mansion is not half a star compared to this Huai family.
"What a big spirit. Su Tang said.
"The Huai family is the number one family in Darkmoon City," the samurai said.
"First, everyone also said that it would fall, it's too easy, right?" Su Tang was a little skeptical.
"It's only to blame the descendants for not being angry. The warrior said: "The old man of the Huai family was promoted to the great grandmaster in his twenties, and then the generation is not as good as the generation, only the eldest lady of the younger generation was promoted to the grandmaster, and the two young masters are far apart, the worship of the Huai family and the warriors of the guards are all for the sake of the face of the old man Huai to serve the Huai family, and when the old man is gone, they will naturally disperse." ”
"How many great cultivators are there in Dark Moon City?" asked Su Tang.
"Great Cultivator...... Do you mean Great Ancestor?" the warrior sighed: "If you can become a Great Ancestor, you would have left Dark Moon City a long time ago, what's the point of nesting here?" Cultivation is inseparable from spiritual veins, there are only two places around Dark Moon City, one is Juexiu Ridge, the other is lava mountain, the aura of Juexiu Ridge is very thin, occasionally give birth to a few spirit beasts, a few pieces of medicinal herbs, barely enough for everyone to live, the aura of lava mountain is very strong, but there is fire everywhere over there, not to mention spirit beasts, not even a root grass. Great Ancestor, how comfortable it is to be offered to other sects? Why stay in this place where birds don't?"
"In this way, Dark Moon City belongs to a trapped land?" Gu Suifeng was puzzled: "But I see that there are a lot of people in the city." ”
"In the area of Juexiu Ridge, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there is no problem in feeding more than 100,000 people, as for cultivation...... Then take it one step at a time. The warrior laughed, "Bastard." ”
"I feel good about it. Su Tang said.
"Hehe, that's now, if you came here more than twenty years ago, it's hard to say. The warrior said: "Listen to the old man, at that time, Dark Moon City was very chaotic, and you had to open one eye and close one eye when you slept at night, and you didn't dare to drink or make friends, otherwise you don't know how you died, every morning, there will be a lot of corpses in the streets and alleys, many times, hundreds a day"
"So messy?"
"yes. The warrior took a breath and muttered for a moment: "Thanks to Old Man Huai, he brought several cultivators over, set an iron law, and met in Juexiu Ridge and Lava Mountain, there is revenge, there is revenge, it turns out that you can fight how you want, whatever, no one cares, but in Dark Moon City, no one can kill indiscriminately, otherwise it will be everyone's enemy." ”
"Old Man Huai said that the people who came to Dark Moon City were all poor people, either they couldn't get along on the other side of the sea, or they got into trouble and had to run to avoid trouble, so no one should pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. The warrior continued: "If you start a fight in the city, there will be no bottom line if you kill the red eye, everyone has parents, wives and children, and you must always leave a safe place for your family, otherwise you will be too tired and miserable to live." ”
"Old man Huai hit the nail on the head. Su Tang said, I thought that Old Man Huai was a person with a fiery personality, but I didn't expect to have this kind of insight
The iron law set back then not only saved the whole city, but also saved the descendants of the Huai family. The warrior said: "Otherwise, Qianqi Peak would have been occupied by someone a long time ago, and the eldest lady and third lady would also ...... Hehe, sir, you have to be careful, in this Dark Moon City, it's okay to fight with your mouth, and you can also be clever and outwitted, but you can't be rough, and you can't see blood if you move roughly, and you can't kill you and you must fight, so you can only go outside the city. ”
