Jiayou fun things

After receiving the gift list handed over by Ah Hu, he casually glanced at it, threw it aside lightly, patted Rhubarb's head, and squatted aside again, stuffing a large piece of barren mountain into the mouth of the furious rabbit mantle. The ground dragon meat is a specialty of Lingling.

As the city lord of a town, his daily life is so plain, ordinary, with golden wind in his sleeves!
As long as you sit in the city lord's mansion and do nothing, every day there will be leaders of big and small forces, big and small chambers of commerce, quietly turning boxes of rare treasures into simple and low-key gift lists, and quietly giving them away. To Lu Yu's hands.

All kinds of rare treasures are worthless, and what they are looking for are only some extremely ordinary things in the eyes of the city lord.

For example, during a certain period of time, let the patrol team of the city guard temporarily turn a blind eye to a certain neighborhood.

For example, in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a certain dude who hopes that one night, the door of his cell can be opened quietly.

For example, there are too many prisoners in the town, which puts a huge pressure on the public expenses of the city lord's mansion. However, the mine of a certain big family outside the city just lacks enough miners, so they voluntarily relieve the pressure on the city lord's mansion. .

For another example, the patriarch of a local snake family suddenly fell away, and the eldest son raised by the concubine and the second son raised by the wife of the main house competed for the family property, so they sent large sums of filial piety, asking the wise city lord to make decisions for him.

In short, Lu Yu is living a very comfortable life now, and in the ninth city of the town, he is even more committed to his word, and his prestige has been pulled to full value.

Who dares to disrespect the huge town named Ninth City?

There is a Buddha Lord behind him, and there are four Buddhas who are directly connected to the teacher as backers... and they are famous for their violence and arrogance, and they frequently kill the Buddhas of the prison lineage who are full of families.

This is scary.

In particular, no one can figure out, with the help of Monk Yuanjue, after refining three Rising Dragon Pills and one ancient Buddha relic, what level his personal strength has reached.

Great Bodhisattva peak?
Or Buddha Realm?
His mana cultivation base and the realm of Taoism should not be so exaggerated... But his golden body and law body may have reached the Buddha state, right?

The huge Buddhist gate, the trillions of Buddhist practice, a total of more than 350 Buddhas.

If Lu Qi's golden body and dharma body really possessed the power of a Buddha, then it could be regarded as a half-baked Buddha.Placed in the ninth city of the town word, this is an absolute overlord existence.

"This life is so empty and boring." Lu Ni patted the heads of the rhubarb and the rabbit cat, threw a few dried fruits to the big parrot, stroked the green snake coiled on his arm, and sat in the garden of the city lord's mansion. Beside the lake, look at the snapping turtle with most of its back shell exposed in the lake.

The physiques of Rhubarb and the others are decent, although they are seven, eight, or ten times larger than the normal ones of the same kind.

Only the snapping turtle, whose body is getting bigger and bigger.

He is now coiled in the lake, and the diameter of the back shell exposed to the water is more than three hundred feet, like a dark hill, and the dark cold air is radiating even more.

The huge lake, under the erosion of this black cold air, the water of the lake became icy cold.

But the cold air of the snapping turtle is extremely miraculous, the temperature of the lake water has been much lower than the freezing point, and the lake water has only become viscous like spicy soup. It is extremely cold, but it has never frozen.

Occasionally, the snapping turtle moves its claws and flicks its tail, and the lake water that has turned black and blue ripples in circles. The lake water, which has increased in density by nearly a hundred times, hits the stones on the shore. The lumps are like melted sugar lumps, which have been licked away layer by layer by the lake.

Heavy footsteps sounded, Yu Duohu rushed in with great strides.

"What's the matter?" Lu Ni kneaded the top melon rind of the rabbit mantle, ignoring his growl of 'Aww', and kneaded desperately.

"Big fat sheep... er, no, a distinguished guest is here." Yudianhu licked the corner of his mouth: "Mo Qianqiu, the owner of the Chongshan, came to visit with a big gift... er, it was a big gift, and he looked very greedy." .”

Lu Bi stood up and looked at Yudianhu in surprise.

These days, there are many people giving gifts to the city lord's mansion every day. Ah Hu, Yu Duanhu and the others have long been overwhelmed by the mountains of rare treasures.To be able to make Yudianhu show such an expression and be so surprised, it can be seen that Mo Qianqiu really gave him a huge gift.

"Go and have a look... Well, let someone serve tea, really good tea. Just serve it, that bag of 'Molong Danzhu' sent by that... yesterday, the tea tastes not bad." Lu Wei He tapped his head lightly, and sighed with emotion in a low voice: "I am the city lord, this matter is so troublesome, how do you say this? Who gave me a gift, I may not remember him?"

In the second courtyard of the city lord's mansion, in the flower hall dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests, Lu Yan smiled and looked at Mo Qianqiu with an anxious expression on his face.

Town Zi Ninth City, Chong Shan Hao, this is a chamber of commerce specializing in private business, mainly Mohism, the shareholders include Zhen Zi Ninth City and several surrounding towns, more than a dozen extremely powerful big families, Chamber of Commerce is extremely strong.

In the ninth city of Zhenzi, Chongshan has enough financial resources to rank among the top ten, and Chongshan has built twelve cottages outside the city, raising nearly [-] private soldiers and guards. Among the private armed forces, he brazenly broke into the top three.

Mo Qianqiu is a clear and handsome man who is obviously pampered and has never suffered anything. A short beard on his chin makes him handsome and elegant, with a bit of stability that the head of a big family should have.

But at this moment, his face twitched slightly, and his feet moved slightly uneasy, as if the house was burning and he was sitting on the beam anxiously.

"Master Mo, obviously something is on your mind?" Lu Ni picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"To be honest with the city lord, I do have something to ask for." Mo Qianqiu was not polite, and went straight to the point: "The city lord, do you know what kind of business my Chongshan is doing?"

Lu Yan nodded slowly and became the city lord. Of course, he checked the information of several major forces in the ninth city of the town.Chongshanhao is one of the largest companies in the ninth city of the town, and its influence radiates to many surrounding towns and cities. Of course, he focused on the situation of this company.

Chongshan is doing a side business.

He specially organized a team to go deep into the wild and barren mountains in the south, survey the mineral veins, and search for the blessed land of caves and heavens, spiritual mountains and spiritual waters.

Once a mineral lode with huge mining value is found that can provide astronomical Lilan, the Chongshan will set up a formation, occupy the territory, carefully survey the mineral vein, make an estimate of its value, and then auction it off for a huge amount of wealth. Or hand it over to a certain powerful force for excavation, and own a share in it, and distribute high-value benefits on time.

If they found some blessed land, spiritual mountain and spiritual water, they would also circle it up, carefully arrange it, manage it carefully, carefully carve it little by little, and after building it into a well-functioning Qingxiu cave, they would secretly trade it to those who need it. power.

These necessary forces are either the unlucky ones who committed a major event in Liangyitian and were forced to flee to the south for refuge, or the 'careful people' whose families have made demands and need to set up secret strongholds in the barren mountains.

In short, regardless of the mine veins or these caves, the business of Chongshan is always extremely prosperous, bringing them astronomical benefits every year.

In particular, even the City Lord's Mansion doesn't know how many secret mansions Chongshan has set up in the wild mountains, and how many secrets are hidden inside.

Mo Qianqiu held the teacup tightly with both hands, her knuckles were a little white, obviously she had used a lot of strength.

If not, this set of tea set for entertaining guests is also a set of Immortal Treasure sent by someone one day. The quality is reliable and extremely strong, and it may have been crushed by Mo Qianqiu.

Staring straight at Lu Yu, Mo Qianqiu said in a low voice: "My family, in the south, something happened to a cave."

Lu Ru raised his brows.

Hearing this, I knew that something happened to a secret mansion on the Chongshan that was not known to outsiders... Lu Ni nodded and said, "Is there something important in it? Or is it an important person? Can't the Chongshan's own force solve the problem?" ?”

Mo Qianqiu's face twitched violently.

He hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice again: "Does the City Lord know who is behind the Chongshan?"

Lu Ni smiled, looked at Mo Qianqiu, and said leisurely, "Let the master of the Mo family speak directly, the fire is imminent, so what's the fuss about?"

Mo Qianqiu was stunned, slapped himself lightly, and said with a wry smile: "When discussing business with people on weekdays, I am used to the method of covering up the clouds and fog. The city lord will forgive me."

Taking a breath, Mo Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "There are important things in the secret mansion, but those things are rare and rare, but compared to that person, they are not important. Uh, behind the Chongshan is the Jiang family. .”

"Huh? Jiang? Which Jiang?" Lu Yu looked at Mo Qianqiu in surprise.

"That's the one. After the creation of the world, in the ancient times, the ancestors of Taoism and Buddha were still preaching. When Taoism and Buddhism were not yet formed, the Jiang family left behind by Jiang Wangu, the ancient emperor Jiang Wangu who almost unified the Liangyitian human race!"

When Mo Qianqiu said the name 'Jiang Wangu', his pale little face burst into a dazzling brilliance, looking very proud.He looked at Lu Yan and said in a deep voice: "The Mohist family in the ninth city of the town name is actually Jiang's surname, which is a branch of the Jiang family. Countless years before the establishment of Zhenmoling, the Mohist family changed their surnames and specially dealt with Jiang's family... ..."

Mo Qianqiu looked at Lu Yu, but didn't finish speaking.

Lu Bi understands.

Many years ago, a branch of the Jiang family changed their names and surnames, and became the Mohists, doing some shady jobs for the Jiang family.These shady activities are nothing more than murder and arson, house robbery, framing, spreading rumors and so on.

It is not uncommon for a big family, especially a big family like the 'Tiangu Zunhuang Jiang' lineage, to have such an arrangement.

Taigu Zunhuang.

When Lu Bi was bored reading books in Qionghua Mountain, he saw corresponding records in some Buddhist classics.

That is indeed a fierce man, just like what Mo Qianqiu said, when the Liangyitian Buddhism and Taoism have not yet formed, the Taoist ancestors and Buddhism are still preaching, and all the great powers are listening devoutly, this old man led a group of fierce The clansman and Biaomeng's subordinates, relying on their innate divine power, forcibly pierced through almost the entire Liangyitian.

Surrounded by thorns everywhere, countless wolves, tigers, leopards, and demons, Jiang Wangu almost established a unified human dynasty.

That was also the glorious peak when the human race was closest to the great unification in the history of Liangyitian.

As the ancestors of Taoism and Buddha drifted away, great powers of Taoism and Buddhism emerged one after another, establishing sects of all sizes, sects of all sizes, preaching the preaching, preaching the Dharma, occupying mountains as kings, enclosing lands and respecting them, Jiang Wangu The established human power fell apart in just a few hundred years, and Jiang Wangu was also killed by an unknown strongman.

However, the Jiang clan resolutely took refuge in one of the most powerful Taoist masters at that time, and preserved the inheritance of the Miao descendants.

Afterwards, the situation of Taoism and Buddhism was ups and downs, and the powers of all parties fell from time to time, and new powers continued to rise.

Jiang swayed freely in the Daoist sect, changed several background backers in succession, and gradually developed and expanded by relying on various means.Today, the Jiang family is already one of the few super powerful figures in the Liangyi Tiandao Sect.

"Hundred years ago, a survey team of the Chongshan found an 'Emperor Tianyun Mansion' in a territory that had just been opened up from the chaos in the wild south." Mo Qianqiu looked at Lu Yu with deep eyes: "'Imperial Heaven's Luck', this is an absolute secret known only to the Jiang Clan... Jiang Wangu, the first ancestor of the Jiang Clan, got a ray of Imperial Heaven's Qi, which inspired his natural blood..."

Lu Yan hastily interrupted Mo Qianqiu: "Master Mo, do you think it's convenient for me to listen to these things?"

Mo Qianqiu looked at Lu Yu with a wry smile: "Why can't you hear the matter of begging the city lord for help? Besides, I can only tell the city lord about this matter... because the city lord's backing is too hard, too hard, so the city lord listened to this secret , don’t worry about killing people here, right?”

Lu Yu nodded slowly, this makes sense.

Mo Qianqiu continued with a wry smile: "One more thing, there is no Jiang Clan's 'desolate imperial vein' in the main body of the city, and the aura of imperial heaven is useless to the city lord...With the background of the city lord, there is no need to peep at the Jiang family's This chance means that there is no reason for conflict between the city lord and his subordinates, what does the city lord think?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Master Mo Jia made a thorough explanation, then, please continue. I am also curious, what kind of trouble you have encountered!"

Mo Qianqiu narrated, Lu Ni's face gradually lost its strength.

This is really bad luck!

The Jiang clan was able to almost unify the Liangyitian and Human clan back then. As a mortal, Jiang Wangu almost had the strength to fight against saints and sages because of the ancient imperial veins in his body.

It was an extremely domineering, extremely miraculous natural bloodline, which contained infinite mighty power and incredible innate supernatural powers.

Jiang Wangu obtained that ray of imperial aura left over from the creation of the world, and thus stimulated all his blood, so that he possessed such miraculous power.However, the Jiang family has been passed down from generation to generation. Although the Huanggu Emperor's bloodline is still in their bloodline, it has gradually changed from dominant to recessive.

The current Jiang clan members are, at best, more talented, more aptitude, smarter, and more perceptive than ordinary people. Apart from that, they are no different from ordinary people or serious monks.

Therefore, Mo Qianqiu found an imperial fortune mansion in that detection team, and even found a Qi Yunling acupoint in it. Silenced, completely covered up the existence of that secret mansion.

Now, in that cave, there are Mo Qianqiu's most beloved youngest son and three most precious grandchildren who are secretly cultivating inside.

Absorb the qi of the imperial sky, revive the ancient imperial veins, obtain the supreme supernatural talent, and master the supreme mighty power of the once ancient emperor.

Lu Wu understood.

He looked at Mo Qianqiu, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened to the secret palace. And you don't dare, and you don't want to report the existence of this secret palace to Jiang's family... Even, I suspect that you will not know the existence of this secret palace." Even the other members of the Mo family are hiding it, right?"

Mo Qianqiu acquiesced to Lu Bi's statement.

Lu Yu said "tsk tut" a few times: "So, there is a problem over there, and you feel that you can't solve it by yourself and must ask for help... But the Jiang family is very likely to severely punish your 'betrayal' behavior , you dare not ask them for help. The Mo family...you would rather ask for help from an outsider like me than share the benefits with your own relatives?"

Mo Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "City Lord, don't think how greedy and selfish I am... It's just that in the Mo family, there are many people who secretly communicate with the Jiang family. If they learn about the secret mansion, I'm afraid I will suffer." Make a knife."

Stretching out his right hand, he slashed lightly at his own neck, and Mo Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it for a long time, and found that in the huge Liangyitian, those who can help me, those who can save me, dare to ask for help, and are willing to ask for help." Yes, only you, the city lord."

Lu Bi grabbed the gift list that was placed on the small coffee table beside him, and gently opened it.

Sure enough, it was an extremely generous gift.

No wonder, these days, Yuduhu, who is used to seeing rare treasures, will say 'the big fat sheep is coming'.The gift recorded in this gift list, frankly speaking, is enough to arm an elite army of 3000 people, composed entirely of true immortals above the tenth heaven realm, from head to toe to teeth!
If it is not used to arm the real immortals, but to cultivate ordinary monks, then it is enough for at least [-] monks in the heavenly realm to directly condense the true immortal status and break through the real immortal realm.

And Lu Bi has occupied the Qionghua Mountain Dojo for some years. Among the Daoist monks under his command, there are less than 1 Taoist soldiers at the level of true immortals, and their cultivation realms are almost all below the tenth heaven!

"This gift list... is a bit lighter." Lu Yu casually threw the gift list aside: "The poor monk is not very clear about how strong the Jiang family is. But I know the name of Jiang Wangu, the emperor of the ancient times. He left They are relatives of the same blood, and they are also numerous super clans, so one can imagine how powerful they are."

"I helped you, but I offended them. If something happens in the future..."

Mo Qianqiu looked at Lu Bi with deep eyes: "This gift list is just the private property that I can get now. If the Lord of the City is willing to help, after the matter is completed, the entire Chongshan, including the clansmen of the next clan, will be the Lord of the City. grown-ups."

Lu Yan looked at Mo Qianqiu in amazement: "What's the matter? Are you going to abandon Taoism and become a Buddha?"

Mo Qianqiu gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family will definitely not tolerate me if I do such a thing... I must be guilty of a death penalty that deserves death, and I will never be spared. Possibly. My family members will definitely be exterminated, so as not to threaten the orthodox position of the Jiang family."

"When I found the secret mansion, I have already thought about it, and I want to take refuge in Buddhism, but I haven't decided which one to take refuge in."

Mo Qianqiu stood up, knelt down in front of Lu Ni with a 'gudong', bowed to him, and bowed: "Now, I have found the Ming Lord... If the Lord City Master doesn't dislike it, I, together with the people of this clan, are willing to Do your best for the city lord!"

Lu Ni stroked his chin, looked at Mo Qianqiu, and nodded slowly: "Interesting, interesting, since this is the case, it would be really harmful if you don't take the benefits of being delivered to your door. Let's talk about it, what is going on in the secret mansion?"

At noon, Mo Qianqiu left in a hurry.

Lu Yu is replaying the conversation between him and Mo Qianqiu, carefully analyzing every sentence, every look, every body movement of Mo Qianqiu in his mind, as well as all the perceivable states of his blood, mana fluctuations, etc. .

Ok……

There is no falsehood.

All his worries, all his panics, and even the deepest trace of fear—the fear of the possible consequences of Jiang's family finding out what he had done, were all real.

And Mo Qianqiu has no malice towards him.

"So, before I knew it, I became a big backer in the eyes of others!" Sitting in the flower hall, Lu Ni suddenly burst out laughing.

However, it is also understandable.

There is a big Buddha like Baoguang Gongde Buddha behind him. Although there are only four true disciples of the Buddha's line on the face of Baoguang Gongde Buddha, all of them are in the realm of Buddha.Among the more than 300 Buddhas in the Buddhist sect, there are more than [-] Buddhas who are attached to the Baoguang lineage and are driven by him. Only outsiders know of them.

In addition, there are three newly promoted Buddhas in the lineage of the town and prison!

Backed by such a powerful force, Lu Bi is indeed qualified to be the backer of many people and the background of many forces!

"A little immature." Lu Yu began to reflect on himself.

The golden body has reached the level of the Buddha, and it is not a weak level among the Buddhas.But mana, Taoism, supernatural powers, all kinds of means, as well as the cultivation of the followers around him, and even the Taoist monks, are all too weak.

A faction cannot be supported by one person alone.

"It's not enough for a snake without a head, but it's not enough just to have a head." Lu Bi turned his head and looked to the north thoughtfully: "The owner of a small town and city can make countless fortunes in just over a month. Then, if Being able to become the lord of the town of the town... and put a few town lords down, it will blow the ground..."

To scrape the ground is to collect accumulation.

If you have resources, you can train masters.

Lu Bi's own combat power is now impressive, but the people around him are still too weak.

Just as he was thinking, Yuduhu walked in with drooping face, "A few poor people are here, do you want to see them?"

Lu Bi raised his head and asked in amazement, "How poor are you?"

Yu Duanhu pursed his lips and said angrily, "I want to whore for nothing!"

After a cup of tea, it was not in the flower hall where guests were entertained in the second courtyard, but in the lobby of the city lord's mansion in the first courtyard. Lu Bi was sitting behind the koan, overlooking the three monks with pale faces below.

Bloody Kidney, Soul Hooking Knife, Thorn Finger!

This is the leader of the three villages outside the ninth city of the town.

"Ecstasy Knife, Thorn Finger, the name is so-so. What's the matter with this bloody waist? Isn't it supposed to be 'Blood Kite'?" Lu Wei tapped on the gongan with his fingers, and asked curiously the three fish epileptics below. The "poor three" in the tiger's mouth.

Well, going to the door without bringing a gift list, not even the tea money for guarding a fairy crystal in front of the door, in Yudianhu's view, this is indeed extremely poor.

But...they didn't come to give gifts, they came to report the crime!

A thin, thin middle-aged man with a height of nearly ten feet, with a strong smell of blood all over his body, came forward with a dry smile: "My lord, you are laughing at me... I am the master of Xueyaozi Village... Hehe , When I was young, I used to fight with people, I liked it, I liked it... I got this bandit name because I started to fight people's waists."

Lu Yi took a look at the man, he was full of bloody evil spirit, and there was a faint black air lingering behind him, and there were strange faces flickering and swaying inside.

This guy is practicing magic skills.

The name 'Blood Kidney' probably doesn't just like taking out other people's waists?

However, everyone knows how those villages outside the towns and cities exist. The filth is not enough to describe, and there are some messy nicknames, which have nothing to do with Lu Bi.

"Forget it, what name you want to give has nothing to do with poor monks." Picking up the teacup on the side and taking a big sip of tea, Lu Wei frowned and said: "The ninth city of the town is Haiyan, Heqing these days, everyone The local people live and work in peace and contentment, their businesses are prosperous, and their animals are thriving... You come to the door for no reason, what kind of case are you reporting?"

Xueyaozi lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes, after the Lord City Master took office, the ninth city of the township has really changed its old appearance and become more prosperous. The inferior people should not bother the City Master. Your Excellency is pure...but, it is related to nearly ten thousand lives... Really, I can only trouble Lord City Master!"

Lu Qi frowned: "Nearly [-] lives? Are you a prisoner of mine slaves?"

What kind of business do these villages outside the city do on weekdays, and what kind of activities are they tossing about, Lu Bi knows it well.All of a sudden, a big case involving nearly [-] lives happened. All Lu Ni could think of was that one of their mines was attacked by southern demons and monsters, and the door was blocked by others!

"No, it's...they are nearly ten thousand innocent people, all of whom are the strongmen and guards of our village!" The head of the village of Hooking Sword took a step forward and said hastily: "The team of our three villages is in the mountains to the south. ,problem occurs."

Lu Ni frowned, and said coldly: "According to the decree of the Town of Demon City, wait..."

Thorn Finger's Dazhai Lord hastily stepped forward: "According to the decree of Town Demon City, as long as we pay taxes on time, the City Lord's Mansion will have the duty to protect us... Lord City Lord, this is the three of us. Zhaizi, the tax documents of the last hundred years!"

The three of them took out a thick paper book in unison.

Lu Bi was dumbfounded, and with a hook of his finger, three books flew onto the koan at the same time.

Town Demon City does have this rule - as long as anyone pays taxes to the City Lord's Mansion on time, then if they encounter danger, the City Lord's Mansion has the responsibility to protect their safety.

To put it more frankly, in the wild mountains in the south where evil spirits are suppressed, Town Demon City is the official institution with the biggest fist and the strongest strength. As long as you are willing to pay the protection fee, then the City Lord's Mansion will cover you!
Of course, if you are reluctant to pay the money, then you can build a village outside the city by yourself, raise people and horses, and do whatever you want... But this is equivalent to giving up the protection of the city lord's mansion.

As far as Lu Yu knew, nine out of ten of the stockades outside the major towns did not pay any fees to the City Lord's Mansion!
Opening the paperwork in Xueyaozi in front of him, and glanced briefly at Xueyaozi's tax records for the past hundred years, Lu Ni couldn't help laughing: "Ha, a big village with nearly 10 people, a full hundred years, always The tax income paid is only three thousand high-grade fairy crystals?"

Three thousand high-grade fairy crystals!

A lot of money!

The Immortal Tea Molong Danzhu that Lu Bi used to treat Mo Qianqiu just now, the market price is 80 top-grade fairy crystals for one tael, and the discounted price is [-] top-grade fairy crystals for one tael!
Xueyaozi has a large village of 10 people. There are at least a few hundred real monks, and there are tens of thousands of other monks. There are at least dozens of mines and veins outside the city. I don’t know how many industries. The income is in the tens of millions!
According to the official fixed tax of ten taxes and one in Town Demon City, Xue Yaozi has paid a total of three thousand high-grade immortal crystals in the past 100 years... Is this considered tax payment?

"Blood waist, are you teasing Buddha me?" Every time Lu Ni called himself 'Buddha', he got angry, lost his temper, and was ready to be unreasonable.He slapped the three books in front of him into pieces, stood up abruptly, his whole body was full of blood, and a phantom of Buddha with three heads and six arms with an angry face quietly emerged in the blood.

The entire lobby was suddenly filled with terrifying pressure.

The Bloody Kidney, Soul-Evoking Knife, and Thorn Fingers seemed to be crushed by a mountain, only to hear the sound of bones cracking inside their bodies, and they fell to the ground with a few 'plops'. A series of hideous cracks were opened, and blood gushed out like a spring.

"My lord, calm down, calm down... We are here, here to pay the tax!" The three bloody waists, none of them are physical cultivators. Although they all have cultivation levels above the twentieth stage of the real fairyland, their physical bodies... It can only be regarded as weak.

Faced with the three-headed and six-armed angry Buddha Dharma that Lu Qi realized after fusing the relics of the ancient Buddha, how could the head of the Sanjiazhai bear it in the face of this terrifying, pure power suppression?
As if the pressure of Tianwei came down, the three of them were almost crushed into meatloaf, and they could only cry hysterically and beg for mercy.

"Tax payment?" Lu Yan said coldly: "Where is the tax collector? How should we pay the tax after a hundred years of arrears?"

Under the city lord's mansion, there are many departments such as the Zhenmagic Department, the Criminal Prison Department, the Taxation Department, and the Immortal Treasure Department. The manpower available around Lu is limited, and most of them are muscular men. There are very few smart people with a sharp mind and who can take on heavy financial responsibilities. .

Therefore, the important task of the Taxation Department was handed over to Jieyin Toutuo.

Hearing Lu Ni's question, Jie Yin Toutuo frowned, his old face became wrinkled.He took out a thin, palm-sized document with a total of less than three pages, and said dryly: "There is no such thing as paying taxes in Town Demon City."

Lu Yu looked at Jieyin Toutuo in astonishment: "No?"

Jie Yin Toutuo shook his head lightly, it's true!

The Demon Suppressing City system is not a serious official organization, but a line of force defense set up by Buddhism and Taoism to seal the Southern Wilderness and suppress monsters and demons.

Here, Buddhism and Taoism check each other, and various forces, large and small, are mixed together, which is extremely complicated.If you set too strict rules and regulations, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Can you still expect a child from a family like Yeluting to "take the initiative to practice"?

Therefore, Town Demon City has some superficial systems and is full of loopholes, leaving countless loopholes for people to take advantage of.

For example, the tax system is a simple ten tax one.

You earned 1 top-grade fairy crystals this year, and you voluntarily pay [-], then the City Lord's Mansion has the responsibility to protect you comprehensively and protect your rights and interests when you encounter infringement.

Of course, if you pay [-] resources to the city lord's mansion, then you are the city lord's distinguished guest. If you encounter any trouble, the city lord's mansion will definitely take the initiative to pull you out of the way.

If you earn 100 million top-quality fairy crystals a year, you are unwilling to pay taxes to the City Lord's Mansion because of your family's great fortune.Then, it's up to you, as long as you don't get found out, then it's up to you.Therefore, those big forces who were unwilling to pay taxes all went to build villages outside the city by themselves.

But if you, who don’t pay taxes, are really in an emergency, encounter some trouble, and need help from the City Lord’s Mansion...then feel sorry, the City Lord’s Mansion can also say haha, and say ‘the weather is good today’, and send you Set aside!
Because of such a crude system, there is no concept of 'paying taxes' in Zhenmo City.

"That's it!" Lu Ni scratched his bald scalp, and said in a low voice, "I don't burn incense on weekdays, and I hug Buddha's feet temporarily... Tsk, you can do it."

Xue Yaozi struggled, with great difficulty, and took out a shining ring from his sleeve: "My lord, Lord Fahai, little one, I deeply understand the mistakes made in the past, today, little one Volunteering to make up the tax of millions of top-grade fairy crystals... I just ask the city lord to help!"

The village masters of Hooking Soul Knife and Thorn Fingers were also trembling, and also took out a shining ring.

Lu Qi looked at the three people lying on the ground covered in blood, and suddenly sneered: "A few belongings... Forget it, you burn incense for a while, but you burn it piously, and the Buddha will forgive you for your past sins. It's just, a million The best fairy crystal, it's not good enough. It can only make amends, but it can't..."

The three bloody waists, the extremely bachelors, each took out a ring.

Obviously, they were mentally prepared.

Lu Yi smiled "hehe" and signaled to lead Toutuo to take over the six rings. The suffocating pressure of Qi and blood in the lobby suddenly relaxed, and the three bloody waists wailed, and the immortal power returned to their physical bodies, trembling. Standing up majestically.

"Tell me, what happened to your people? Since you have paid taxes, you are the innocent and good citizens of the ninth city of the township. As the city lord and the poor monk, it is up to you to protect you." Lu Ni smiled very Kind, very kind, a real "parent officer" looked at the three people covered in blood like a father and a mother.

A day later, in the deserted mountains, a small team quickly shuttled through the mountains.

The team of more than a thousand people is composed of the elite drawn from the three villages of Xueyaozi, Huhundao, and Thorn Finger, and the owners of the three villages are also personally leading the team.Aside from the manpower of the three villages, as far as the city lord's mansion was concerned, Lu Ni went into battle with a dozen or so old brothers, including Ahu and Yudianhu, by his side.

Mo Qianqiu brought two confidants who had cultivated over 27th heaven, and as the head of the city lord's mansion, they also mixed in the team.The head of the Sanjia village was a little surprised by this, but he did not raise any doubts.

Well, apart from Mo Qianqiu and the others who had other purposes, there were also five uncles who might be a little restless due to the change of seasons, and they also accompanied them.

Traveling through the mountains and forests for a whole day, they walked southward for more than 3000 miles in the rugged and roadless mountains. When it was getting dark, the team found a cave with traces of bonfires and set up camp for the night.

This is a safe base for the exploration teams going in and out of the wild mountains. There is a water source in the cave, and a lot of neatly chopped firewood has been hoarded. First aid elixir, and even some emergency arrays, talismans, thunder beads and other disposable utensils.

Lu Yu looked around curiously.

It was completely dark outside, and even a Bodhisattva-level power would not dare to wander around in the wild mountains at night.There are too many inexplicable dangers, and the inexplicable existence is too terrifying. Batch after batch of exploration teams have summed up the nighttime rules here with countless lives. Those who dare to offend have already paid the price.

A faint smoke restricted the entrance of the cave, blocking the light of the bonfire inside the cave so that it could not be exposed.

On the bonfire, the thick and fragrant soup in the soup pot was tumbling, and several racks of animal meat had been roasted until they were browned and oily.A few real immortals in charge of the barbecue are carefully sprinkling spice powder on the barbecue.

Xueyaozi, Hunhundao, and Thornfinger approached Lu Qi, and respectfully offered them excellent drinks.

"Lord Labor City Lord personally went out, it really made us fearful." Xueyaozi's words were very quack, "I really don't know how to be grateful... As long as I can rescue those brothers who are trapped in the mountains this time, the City Lord will have orders in the future , I dare not refuse."

Lu Ni waved his hand and said calmly: "You are welcome, after all, the life and death of tens of thousands of 'good people' are related. The poor monk just sat on the seat of the city lord, and made such a big mistake. It is not good to hear it, so I personally It’s worth taking a walk.”

"Yes, yes!" The chubby, white and fat village master of the Ecstasy Knife was born like a pampered landlord Lao Cai. It was completely unexpected that he would have such a vicious nickname as 'Ecstasy Knife'.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the Haunting Sword poured a glass of fine wine on Lu Yuman, and said courteously: "The city lord personally went out to rescue those brothers like me, it is absolutely easy to catch, foolproof... Scary, just say it, This person is unlucky, his teeth are really stuck in cold water. Who would have thought that they would encounter a group of 'savage' women?"

Lu Yu smiled brightly: "Oh? 'Barmy' woman? Tell me, what's going on!"

On the side, the appearance is old, the skin is black, the face is full of wrinkles, the hunchback is bow-legged, and the rather unbearable-looking Thornfinger hurriedly said: "Scared, it's all caused by those unlucky guys from Guoshanfeng!"

Thorn Finger doesn't look very good, but he is quite eloquent.

In detail, he dispatched the expedition team of the three villages in the mountains, received a request for help from the allies' cottages to cross the mountain wind, gathered people to rush to reinforce, but encountered a group of extremely powerful 'savage' women, and all of them were captured ... There were only a few lucky ones with the fastest legs and feet, who managed to escape the pursuit of those horrible women and escaped back to the village with great difficulty, and told them in detail.

Although the few lucky ones escaped the pursuit of those women, they were also seriously injured. Therefore, it took them several months to get out of the mountains.

But the head of the Sanjia village was so anxious that he knew that his family was powerless against the group of formidable 'savage' wives, so he wanted to ask the city lord's mansion for help!

They originally only hoped that they could get a team of elite support from the City Lord's Mansion, but they didn't expect that Lu Bi would come out in person!

Lu Qi sipped the fine wine, took a bite of a piece of barbecue that Ahu handed over, and nodded slowly: "I see. Yesterday in the lobby, you only said that a group of people were trapped in the mountains. So that's the reason. ... Then what is the origin of the mountain wind?"

Xueyaozi snorted a few times: "Guoshanfeng... We have some kind of friendship with us. However, it is different from our three villages. They have a big backer behind them. The soldiers are well-provided and the strength is quite strong. , among the many villages outside the ninth city of the town, Guo Shanfeng's strength can be ranked in the top three, therefore, our villages are faintly headed by him on weekdays!"

Looking at Lu Yan's face, the bloody waist lowered his voice: "Of course, from now on, we will only follow the lead of the city lord. Is it over the mountain... Huh, if it wasn't because they asked for help this time, how could we have so many good players in the three villages?" stick it in?"

Ecstasy Knife patted his swollen belly, and sighed: "Even if one or two teams are trapped, it is impossible for the three villages with tens of thousands of soldiers to be wiped out! The mountain wind... is really deceiving people!"

Crouching at the entrance of the cave, grinding its claws on the ground bored, the manul suddenly bristled with sparks flying all over his body, and slowly arched his body, his eyes gleamed with a white cold light, staring straight at the man restrained by the faint smoke. The shrouded hole.

With a sound of 'poof', the thin, simple one-way breath-blocking and light-blocking functions suppressed a trembling, and dozens of men dressed as monks, but with short hair on their heads strode into the room. cave.

"Benefactors, the mountains at night are extremely risky, and you can ask for convenience!" The leader, a tall monk with a burly body, held a bowl-sized shovel, and the murderous monk raised his left palm and pointed at him Everyone in the cave saluted slightly.

"Convenience, convenience, they are all Buddhist disciples, of course it is convenient to go out!" Lu Yi glanced at these monks, smiled and said: "Brothers, come and sit by the bonfire? There is wine and meat here, and I don't mind being a hostess for poor monks." !"

The great monk glanced at the barbecue on the bonfire, then at the wine jars beside Lu Ni, and let out a heavy 'hum': "Buddhist scum... Poor monk, keep the precepts!"

The group of great monks with awe-inspiring aura walked to a corner without saying a word, and without lighting a bonfire, they sat on the ground by themselves, forming a circle, each of them concentrating on their breath, forming mudras with their hands, and began to silently recite mantras.

Lu Yan's face twitched.

A monk who keeps the precepts?
They don't eat meat, don't drink alcohol, and they seem to uphold the precept of not eating after noon. This group of monks seems to be really "virtuous monks" who "follow the precepts".

It's just that the murderous aura on these monks is so heavy.Could it be that the only thing they don't uphold is the precept of killing?
Xue Yaozi and the others stood up with righteous indignation, and wanted to trouble these great monks.Lu Qi waved his hand to stop their impulse.You are away from home, and you have serious business to do, so there is no need to cause trouble.

In particular, Lu Yu looked at the barbecue in his left hand and the fine wine in his right.

Well, Lu Yan secretly admitted that he seems to be a bit of a Buddhist scum...

There was a burst of violent thunder outside, and dark clouds rolled and swept in, covering the bright moon in the sky in an instant.

A strong smell of water poured into the cave, and the torrential rain poured down without warning.

There was a light piercing sound, and the barrier at the entrance of the cave shook again. Nearly a hundred monks in black costumes and black masks, with long hair hanging behind them, danced without wind, and their breath was as cold as ghosts and ghosts. And quickly swept into the cave.

The group of people entered the cave without saying hello to Lu Qi and other first comers. They found a secluded corner to sit down, lit two bonfires, and sat quietly cross-legged around the fire like stone statues. sound.

"That's it, it's a bit rare." Hooking Soul Knife gestured lightly, and beside the campfire, a group of monks who were eating meat and drinking gathered together in small groups, ready to respond at any time.

"My lord, this wild and desolate mountain is vast and boundless. Let alone our manpower, it is like a drop in the ocean even if tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people are scattered. In this mountain, it is most normal to see no one for three to five months. Things... tonight, this place is a bit noisy!" Xueyaozi was beside Lu Qi, quietly transmitting the voice.

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's better to be noisy, it's better to be noisy, um, lively, lively... Neat, lively!"

There was another earth-shattering thunder outside, and through the thin smoke restraint, one could see a group of thunder and fire the size of a hill descending from the sky, whirling in the air for a while in an extremely chaotic manner, and slashing heavily at a towering forest tens of miles away. down.

The ground shook violently, and the cave suddenly shook.

A raging fire ignited in that mountain forest, and a ball of flames soared into the sky. In the lightning and flames, one could see a red-scaled python that was as thick as a small house suddenly lifted its upper body, and sprayed several times into the sky. A ten-foot-long snake letter.

A series of thunder and fire fell overwhelmingly, and slammed on the head of the giant python.

Groups of thunder and fire, like fireworks, surrounded the giant python and rolled around.

The giant python's head exploded completely, and the upper half of its body was gradually scorched under the crazy training of Leihuo, and finally burned violently.

Lu Yan widened his eyes and exclaimed, "This long worm probably has the strength of a true immortal at the [-]th level...to be struck to death by lightning so abruptly. The danger of this barren mountain is really well-deserved."

Outside the rain curtain, a delicate female voice came: "Hey, sisters, hurry up, there is a cave here for shelter and shelter from the rain... Oh, if there is hot water, it would be the best to take a good bath." It couldn't be better."

One after another, like butterflies wearing flowers, they penetrated the smoke restriction and quietly entered the cave.

There are more than 300 of them, all dressed up beautifully, like the daughters of a big family going out on a spring outing, they are all charming, and they are all big girls who look fragile.

As soon as they entered the cave, there was a strong fragrance of flowers.

Crouching at the door, the tiger-faced rabbit cat shivered Lingling, and then sneezed violently.
