These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 265: A century of history, high-end business war
"It's not really a secret."

Li Youzhu chuckled, "Everyone doesn't want to talk about it again. It's taboo, but many people know about it because the impact was so great at the time. Our family, including us, were victims."

"More than a hundred years ago," he said with a nostalgic look in his eyes, "No, more than three thousand years ago."

Ning Zheng poured the wine silently.

More than three thousand years ago, Li Youzhu was in charge of running the Routian Colosseum.

The content of the beast fight is very simple.

They bought all kinds of strange slaves, and then placed them in the Colosseum, filling them with blood and flesh in the meat fields, and then fought with them.

Nowadays, tourists like to watch the fun.

Visitors come to watch and place bets, and even some geniuses and disciples from major sects will personally take to the stage to demonstrate their strength.

This is the property of their Xuelihua Li family.

The Shi family has been intermarried with them for generations and is a long-standing friend. The family also provides their Colosseum with various slaves captured during tomb robbing.

Business at the Colosseum was booming.

Like most ancient tombs, Linmen has a mortal city area, rivers, mountains, and naturally, ancient immortal gates.

Deep in the nearby mountains lies an ancient holy place - the Yuanchu Holy Land.

It is an ancient and great sect with a long history. It holds regular meetings to ask the immortals to select some spiritual root seeds in the city.

The Holy Son of Yuanchu of this generation is called Xu Huan.

"The tomb is mobile. They will alternately release some new characters and recycle the old ones."

"The generation of Yuanchu Saint Xu Huan that they released was an interesting person."

Li Youzhu smiled and pointed to the bonfire burning in the distance, where Su Yu Niang was leading everyone in laughter and joy:

"Xu Huan has a unique charm, just like the little girl in the prison over there. People will unconsciously trust him, follow him, and become the center of the crowd."

"For three thousand years, I have witnessed him making friends everywhere, searching for places, and even competing with others in our Colosseum."

“Even many disciples from holy places outside the world came here to communicate and discuss the Dao with this ancient saint.”

"Our Colosseum was very prosperous during that period because of him, a native."

"Xu Huanjian asked the Jianghu. His enemies were the saints from all over the country at that time, and even the contemporary scholar Jian Xin who was just brought back."

"He won, even Jian Xin lost to him by three moves."

Ning Zheng understood.

This is the significance of the existence of the Historical Corridor.

Follow the ancient sages and carry on their unique knowledge.

Create peace for all generations.

"For three thousand years, I have witnessed this scene silently. He made friends with heroes from all sides in the Colosseum."

Li Youzhu's voice was calm, and his expression showed no joy or sadness.

“Later, I had the privilege of communicating with him, and he was compassionate.”

"He told me that he had brought his fellow apprentices down the mountain to exorcise demons and monsters. They saw a family store that sold meat. The couple was beaten into demons and burned to death in the square because they secretly planted spiritual roots in their daughter who was born without spiritual roots."

"He saw the shopkeeper of Changfeng Restaurant, who was kind and generous, helping the common people, but he only wanted to live longer, so he secretly opened his spiritual roots, but was beaten to death by the high-ranking immortals."

"He heard the couple holding their daughter crying, and heard every household dragging the coffin of the owner of the Changfeng Restaurant, crying out for justice in the heavy snow."

“He felt sad for those people.”

"He said that he would try his best to help us new immortals. We don't have to hide anymore. He wants to make everyone in this world equal. Children with spiritual roots can practice together with children without spiritual roots. There will be no discrimination."

"He will help us change the discrimination we face and build a new prosperous world in the future."

Ning Zheng remained silent.

Xu Huan was an ancient man in the historical era.

What these descendants saw was nothing more than a replay of Xu Huan's life trajectory in history.

Xu Huan lived in an ancient era that despised new humans. In that era, saints were still leading people to rise up, fight, hide and avoid being hunted down.

But although Xu Huan stood on his own camp, he did not hate the new humans, and was even close to the ancient humans.

Even though I have never seen true prosperity and peace, I firmly believe that in the future of mankind there will be no distinction between high and low.

He wants to pull humanity out of the quagmire and struggle of this era and build an era where both sides can live in harmony.

"We witnessed that he had a sword and an ideal in his heart and a goal ahead."

"We also accompany him all the way. Jian Xin and the geniuses of other families all accompany him silently, watching him become a driftwood for the common people and ferry them across the bridge of suffering."

“We followed his growth and witnessed a vivid piece of ancient history.”

Li Youzhu whispered softly.

Ning Zheng remained silent, having already guessed what would happen next.

"The historical corridor seems real. This is the charm of this place." Li Youzhu looked at Ning Zheng:

"You should have guessed it. A hundred years ago, he suddenly woke up and found that this long corridor of history was a shocking scam. He was just a puppet living in the play. He went crazy."

"He roared and angrily accused the court of manipulating his fate. He was alive."

"He roared: We are human beings! Even after I die, I will still have successors."

A battle ensued.

No one thought that this being would be so powerful after awakening.

When all the ancient beings were unable to react, he directly overturned the entire Scale Gate and fought a fierce battle with many ancient saints who had rushed over.

That battle was earth-shattering.

Many people were shaken to death. Xue Lihua and the Shi family were in the center and were just affected.

Both families, as well as other families, fled desperately and finally escaped.

As a result, the family fell into complete decline.

"It's funny, isn't it?"

Li Youzhu said calmly:
"There is no magnificent experience. The impact of the aftermath will destroy countless nearby families. We are just a small part of it."

"Our Meat Field Colosseum prospered because of him, but our family was also destroyed because of him."

Ning Zheng remained silent.

Everyone is the protagonist of his own life, but a supporting role in the whole world. There must always be someone who is affected by the family, the street vendor, or the hungry beggar.

So why isn't that person you?
Li Youzhu said:
"After Xu Huan's awakening, the aftermath is still there a hundred years later. I heard that Linmen was affected by an unknown factor. The probability of the ghosts in this place awakening has increased significantly. The court is also troubled by this matter."

Ning Zheng understood.

Xu Huan should also be an old god from ancient times.

But he was awakened, so the damage he caused was huge.

And his awakening might affect the cognition of this area?

Li Youzhu said: "However, they should be worried about another thing now, the recent escort incident into Beijing."

Ning Zheng stood up, saluted and said, "I understand."

Li Youzhu waved his hand and asked Ning Zheng to leave.

Ning Zheng also obtained complete information about the destruction of the Xuelihua family a hundred years ago.

Just as I thought, I was affected by the aftermath.

However, Li Youzhu must be hiding something.

Players are very excited these days.

The opening of the shop map and the sudden appearance of the mineral pet, Xiaogao, sparked a lot of discussion.

The mineral vein materialized and turned into a spiritual pet, which made many girls call it adorable. They said they wanted to nurture the little girl with scars all over her body and raise her to be plump and white.

It is worthy of being a fairy-tale dessert villa. The mineral veins are personified and turned into a little loli miner!

As long as the little loli is cultivated, this villa will continue to expand, grow, and even raise the terrain!
It's so cool and has a fairy-tale aesthetic.

Some male players couldn't help but complain: "Are you sure this is beautiful? Her head is here, it's an ancient, majestic and sacred statue!"

Many money lolis responded tit-for-tat:

"Anyway, the ending is beautiful. The mountain god Xiaogao is cute and silly, and a little bit dark and confused. She is super interesting."

"Alas, this is a public pet. I need to feed it."

"So cute."

Xinyizhou City, shops.

Business has been booming recently, earning thousands of spirit stones every day, allowing Yu Jin Jiu Cai to become the shopkeeper. He counts money like crazy and smiles.

However, competition also comes with it.

Changfeng Restaurant on the next street.

It’s the indigenous hotel that Manager Lu mentioned. They look down on new humans.

According to the information secretly gathered by Su Yuniang's people, Changfeng Restaurant's customers are cultivators, and they serve all kinds of spiritual dishes.

And behind it is a behemoth, the outer sect industry of the Yuanchu Holy Land, which is managed by the outer sect disciples.

"They have sent people to cause trouble again recently." Su Yu's mother slammed the table angrily.

"They don't dare to come openly, just to disgust us." The Medical Fairy said angrily.

"They love business wars, don't they?" Jiucai Rong was furious. "Let's teach them a lesson."

"How are you preparing for a trade war? Lowering prices?" Everyone looked at the capitalist.

Jiucai Rong laughed, "Let's pour boiling water on his fortune tree. We'll send someone to reserve a seat, order a few side dishes, and eat him all day long."

High-end business wars always seem so simple and unpretentious.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaogao." Jiucai Rong looked at Xiaogao, "Don't you have a group of beggar friends?"

When Xiaogao heard this, he wanted to eat and drink for free.

My hungry friends should be very happy.

Then Jiucai Rong said, "I used the method of the closed room murder case to steal their free vinegar and meat."

"They have someone living in the guest room on the second floor, right?"

"They paint cat faces on their customers, make them look ugly, and then leave the secret room, which makes their customers unhappy and sue the store."

The Medical Fairy looked shocked.

Detective Conan's locked room murder technique, why don't you use it to kill people?
Play a prank and then turn it into a closed secret room?

Sneaking into the kitchen and stealing vinegar from a secret room?
"Killing people is against the law."

Jiucai Rong said confidently, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. They are just waiting for us to break the rules and kill people."

Those who are killed will be resurrected.

But if you kill people indiscriminately in your city, something serious will happen.

People outside the city don't mind these things. There are also indigenous people outside the city who rob and repair buildings, kill and burn people, and restore their local customs.

But in the city, it is best to follow the rules.

He didn't want to see the government officials and detectives of this era.

If things like this are investigated, they will inevitably be found to be responsible, and they will face the consequences of closing their shop, going to jail, and paying compensation.

Wouldn't that make the other party happy?

They opened this shop and absolutely could not let it go bankrupt in the commercial competition, as that would be unfair to the young blacksmiths in the villa.

"Then why do we need to set up a secret room prank?" The Medical Fairy thought it was unnecessary.

"You don't understand. This world is a world of immortal cultivation. They would never expect us to use physical methods to seal the room."

"When they find themselves in a secret room and are treated like this, they will think that their restaurant is haunted. If we spread the word, no one will dare to go there anymore."

Su Yu Niang gave a thumbs up and cursed him inwardly.

Promoting feudal superstition?

But in this era, people no longer believe in superstition; that’s what they believe in.

I never thought that the method of killing people in a secret room that our adoptive father had told us about by the evil cultivator in the city would actually be used.

"Xiao Gao, come here and teach you how to build a secret room. There are hundreds of plans here."

"Dazzled, Erya, you guys should also start researching, stealing vinegar in the secret room, and secretly destroying them."

"Let them know that high-end business wars are definitely not as simple as hiring thugs to cause trouble in the other party's store."
