The little ghost is an honest ghost and can't hide anything in his heart.
After Chu Chen and Qingying left the crowd, it smiled sheepishly at them:
"Senior brother, my prediction of good omen is indeed not very good. I just saw that you have good luck and everything is going well, but in the end, you still failed to get the Millennium Lingdou."
Chu Chen, Qingying: "."
Good guys, the case has been solved.
It turns out that it was the little devil who took advantage of the situation.
Qingying couldn't help laughing: "Little devil, why didn't you say anything just now?"
The kid buried his head, a little timid: "I was afraid that my senior brother would scold me, so I didn't dare to spoil the fun, but it turned out that I got hit again. My crow's mouth magical power is so effective, oooooooooo."
The little ghost felt a little guilty, but more disappointed. He became less and less confident in the auspicious omen. He almost cried.
Qingying looked at the little ghost boy and couldn't help but find it funny. However, seeing that the little ghost boy was almost crying, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed and quickly comforted:
"Little devil, this time it was an accident. Your omens and supernatural powers could not spy on the great supernatural monks. If it were not for the great supernatural monks to intervene, we would have been able to capture the Millennium Spirit Bean. Your omens were very accurate this time. It is not your fault.
.”
Chu Chen nodded. Although he often joked about the little devil that "everything that is good will turn against you," to be honest, he really didn't blame or complain about anything.
"What Ying'er is saying is, little devil, you have not manipulated the energy of disaster, nor have you arbitrarily manipulated the pattern of bad luck. Destiny is mysterious, so you don't need to worry about it. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and you know it is not a blessing."
The little kid had tears welling up in his eyes. After listening to the comfort from his senior brother and Sister Ying'er, he thought it made sense, so he said weakly:
"Really"
Chu Chen and Qingying were quite disappointed when they failed to obtain the "Millennium Ling Bean", but they did not leave just yet.
The ticket price of 20,000 jade coins would be a waste if you don't go shopping.
Speaking of which, in addition to trying their luck to buy the "Millennium Ling Bean", the other purpose of the two people's trip was to understand the local market in Yunzhou and understand the prices of various treasures.
When doing business, the first thing to do is to investigate the market conditions. If you start a business without knowing anything, you will just throw money, sticks, and money to children.
Qingying has taken over a batch of properties, and she needs to understand the market situation personally and be aware of it, otherwise her subordinates will deceive others and line their own pockets. Fifty million jade is not enough to make a loss, let alone five million jade.
Chu Chen and Qingying adhered to the principle of not selling more, and began to sweep every stall in Jinchan Square.
No matter what kind of treasure it is, the two of them will come up and ask for the price, then compare the items and finally estimate the approximate price.
After casually wandering around, the two of them gained a lot and barely made back their ticket price.
However, Chu Chen was not in a good mood. On the contrary, he was irritable and an unknown fire was burning in his chest and abdomen.
There was no other reason. At the monks' trade fair, he saw a shocking scene - there were demons selling humans on the street.
And the list was posted blatantly and in black and white without any cover-up.
fifty pairs of boys and girls;
twenty young women;
Forty men in their prime.
Seeing this scene, the dusty memory in Chu Chen's heart was touched, and his heart surged.
What he hates most in his life is human traffickers.
Selling a child not only destroys a young life, but also makes the family behind it live in endless regret, sadness and pain for a lifetime.
At the beginning, he was turned into a donkey by the Zeng family and sold on the street. His memory is unforgettable. No one understands the helplessness and hesitation of that time better than him.
The current scene is even more shocking than the previous trafficking case in the Middle Earth of Kyushu.
When the Zeng family sells fellow human beings, they do so quietly, hiding from people, not daring to expose them to the sun, unable to see the light, and will die if exposed to the light.
Although the harm is not small, after all, it is just a small fight in a corner and cannot be brought to the forefront.
But in the wild land outside the pass, the situation is different.
The demons and monsters who traffic in humans do not hide and tuck in at all, but act openly and without scruples. The darkness and savagery of the wilderness outside the pass is clearly revealed at this moment.
There is never a peaceful place in the world.
The land of Kyushu has been quiet for many years, and the situation in various places is stable. That is because some people built the immortal Great Wall with flesh and blood, sheltered from wind and rain, and drove away the darkness.
But now, in the wilderness outside the Pass, where the human forces cannot reach, the hidden darkness and bloodiness have surfaced, becoming ferocious and terrifying.
"Erlang~"
Qingying probably felt the inner ups and downs of her companion beside her, and put a pair of warm soft jade hands on Chu Chen's arm, comforting her softly.
"I'm fine."
Chu Chen's expression softened slightly.
"Hmm~"
Although Qingying is not from the human race, but from the dragon race, she has been influenced by the human race since she was a child, so she naturally understands what Chu Chen is thinking, and immediately said:
"Erlang, the wilderness outside the pass is extremely chaotic. This is a barbaric land where the weak eat the strong. Many powerful monsters will feed humans as food for their cultivation."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, he had understood this situation before.
Man is the spirit of all things.
Cultivation of demons is of great benefit to people, and even ordinary people are of great benefit to demons.
The demons in the land of Kyushu are causing trouble. Many demons use brutal methods, murdering people on the spot, plundering cultivation resources, and then getting away with it.
But in the country of demons and wild places, demons pay attention to the long flow of water, and often do not "eat" directly, but cut the leeks bit by bit and plunder slowly.
The human race is full of flesh and blood, with three souls and six souls, and strong faith.
Such things are all very attractive to demons.
The demon kingdom in the wilderness supports human beings just as sparsely as humans raising livestock. Basically, every big demon will support a large number of human beings.
On weekdays, he is driven to work and works as a slave. During practice, he is used as a great medicine to improve his cultivation.
If money is tight, you can still sell human slaves for money and exchange them for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
For the big demon, raising human beings is more profitable than planting spiritual materials and elixirs and developing spiritual mines. It is a profitable business.
People are sometimes poor, and the situation in the world is like this. The situation cannot be reversed even for a while.
However, Chu Chen didn't want to ignore it.
With his ability, he may not be able to influence the overall situation of the world, but he is still capable of getting rid of the eyesores in front of him.
"Ying'er, I want to redeem them back home."
Chu Chen's tone was calm, without much emotion, but his words were quite firm.
Qingying glanced at Chu Chen and said softly:
"If you don't have enough money, I have some here."
"good."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
This was the first time he accepted Qingying's financial support without hesitation.
Some people have been caught in the rain and feel unbalanced. They always think that others have been caught in the rain like them. The best thing to do is to be caught in a heavy rain. The worse, the better.
And some people want to hold an umbrella for others because they have been caught in the rain.
Just like back then, when he was most desperate, the middle-aged Taoist man held up the umbrella to protect him from the wind and rain.
