Celestial Immortal

   Chapter 322 The World

   On the banks of the Yunwu Lake, there is a vast green forest.

   "Senior brother, where is the cloudy black market? You don't know the way, right?"

   Little Guizai watched his senior brother accept the technique of flying clouds and driving fog, and plunged into the green forest to search everywhere. No matter how simple his mind was, he knew that he might have been deceived.

   Brother Smelly didn't take him out to play at all, he was clearly out for errands.

   "Senior brother of course knows the way, but we have to look for it. After all, we are new here and don't know anything about the local area."

  Chu Chen laughed.

   He really doesn't know where there is a cloud black market.

   Yunwu Black Market is similar to going to a fair. It is not opened for a long time, but is opened in different time periods.

   is not a single one, but a large number, which are densely distributed on the shore of Yunwu Lake.

   In the nightmares of the people of Yunlin, some people have very real and clear dreams, pointing out the specific location of the Yunwu Black Market.

   Right now, Chu Chen roughly knows about a dozen cloud black market strongholds, large and small.

   Yunwu Black Market stronghold has one feature, that is, it is adjacent to Yunwu Lake.

  The fog of Yunwu Lake drifts all day long, drifts around, and converges with the perennial clouds in the mountains, resulting in the surrounding clouds and fog around the Yunwu Lake all year round, extremely shady, suitable for some activities that cannot be seen.

   With his sleight of hand, he can walk through a dozen or so bases without any trouble.

   In less than half an hour, he left three strongholds.

   Not long after, he came to the fourth stronghold.

  Chu Chen used his hand to summon soldiers, and sent his subordinates out to search everywhere.

   This time, good news came from the soldiers and horses under his command—several groups of people were found in the mountains.

  Chu Chen was overjoyed and found a place.

   Ordinary people would go into the mountains in groups if they had nothing to do with it. Obviously, he had to find a place to find it.

Chu Chen immediately took his soldiers and horses under his command, and turned the head of [Renxin Yinling Wanshengbao] into a spirited old man wearing a hatchet. Forest pass.

   Soon, he "ran into" three people on the road.

   An old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.

   At first, the three of them were quite wary of Chu Chen, thinking that they had run into something dirty like evil spirits and ghosts.

   However, after Chu Chen said, "I encountered a difficult hurdle, my family needs money urgently, and there is no way to do it", the three of them relaxed their vigilance a little and cast a "sympathetic" look at him.

   "Alas, everyone is a hard worker!"

   The Qianshou old man among the three couldn't help sighing with emotion.

   In this way, Chu Chen successfully infiltrated the people who were in the market and entered the Yunwu Ghost Market with them.

   "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

   The group was walking on the mountain path, Chu Chen took the initiative to speak, and asked the Qianshou old man.

   The Qianshou old man sighed and said:

"My eldest son just married a daughter-in-law the year before last, and he spent all his family savings, and owes a lot of money to his relatives and friends. This year, my younger son also fell in love with a girl, crying and calling for his family to match him. "

   "Old man, how can I favor one over another? Naturally, I want a bowl of water to be leveled, so I grit my teeth."

"What if I don't have money? Old man, I can only go out to borrow money. Originally, it was agreed that nine out of thirteen returns, with a one-year term, and the principal and interest should be paid off at one time. The old man thought that it would be a little harder this year, and he should be able to pay it back by tightening his belt. Go, who knows, the other party is cunning, fooling the old man, I am illiterate, and borrowing Lei Gonghong, in just three months, the old man owes them a full three hundred taels."

  Leigong Bang is another name for "usury" by the common people. Because they hate the lenders, the people begged Lei Gong to kill him with a thunderbolt, and they were punished by heaven.

   After the Qianshou old man told his story, his face was full of anger, grievance and helpless sorrow.

  “Alas~”

   The middle-aged man and the young people also sighed.

   They are both fallen people from the end of the world, and their hearts are also full of desire to talk.

   Before Chu Chen asked, the two of them told their experiences.

The middle-aged man also farms for a living, but he is relatively prosperous. The family has 30 acres of land, and he is one of the richest households in the village. Not to mention how good his life is, but he does not worry about food and clothing, and he has spare energy to allow his son to enter a private school. The family had a good time.

   But the good times don’t last long.

  The middle-aged man accidentally met a group of friends and friends some time ago and took him to the casino.

   He knew that gambling was not a good thing, and he couldn't get it, but he couldn't resist the invitation of friends, so he went to play two games.

   What happened to the result, you won money.

   This makes middle-aged people find fun and can't help but play for a while.

   This play, he immediately fell into it, lost everything, and went home in a daze.

   Originally, his family was wealthy, and it was okay to lose once or twice, but after losing, he was not reconciled and wanted to return to his original capital.

   So he entered the casino again.

   Gradually, sink into it.

   Needless to say, in just half a month, the middle-aged man mortgaged all the property and house in his family, and the family business was completely ruined, and he also owed foreign debts.

   Right now, the middle-aged man's family still doesn't know, and the matter has not been revealed yet. He dares not tell his family, for fear that his family will collapse and despair when they find out.

   However, sooner or later things will come to light, and the debt collectors will soon come to collect the property.

   He still wants to give it a try and win back everything he lost, but unfortunately he has no capital and is unable to recover.

   Just when he was in a panic, someone told him that the cloudy black market could bring him hope.

   After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the young man quickly talked about his own experience.

   The young man’s experience is relatively simple. He is a scholar who went to Goulan with his classmates and friends to listen to music. He fell in love with a brothel woman at first sight and fell in love with her.

   Whoever thought of it, the brothel woman seemed to treat him differently.

   To be favored by their sweethearts, young people are naturally very happy.

   It's just that his family background is ordinary, and he has already done his best to support him in studying at home, so how can there be any spare money for him to squander.

  The brothel is a famous gold-selling cave, young people are stretched thin, and they are eager to meet their sweethearts.

   Just when he was in distress, someone extended a "helping hand", saying that they were optimistic about him, thinking that he had a good future in the imperial examination and could lend him money.

  The young people are short of money, and as soon as they hear this "good thing", they agree without thinking much.

  The brothel woman saw that the young man suddenly became more generous, and couldn't help but sound.

   Young people, because of their vanity, naturally won't tell the truth, but lied and said that they were given at home.

  The brothel woman saw that the young man's family was good, and he became more and more interested in him.

  As the two romances, the young people borrow more and more money.

   The most fatal thing is that because he lingered in the brothel, he missed his homework, and his studies plummeted.

   So, the person who lent him money before not only broke the loan for him, but also collected the debt from him.

   Young people have no money to pay off their debts, and they dare not go back and tell their parents and family members, and the whole person falls into despair.

   At this moment, he heard about the cloud black market from the creditor, and he came to try his luck in desperation.

   "Hey, don't regret it!"

  The old, middle and young sighed in unison, their faces full of regret, anxiety and anxiety.

  Chu Chen was walking on the mountain road, and after listening to the three of them telling their stories, he couldn't help being silent.

   It seems that the reason for the decline of Yunlin County's national prosperity and people's mental power year after year may really lie in this.
