Tiandao is not working today

Chapter 342

Linqu City, Beihai County Government.

Yan Nu suppressed his breath, retracted his dragon horse, and walked towards the city gate with his spear on his back.

I saw Zhuangzi outside the city gate, with rice seedlings everywhere and rich soil and water.

Since the demise of the Bald Clan, the haze of being ravaged by the barbarians has been swept away.

There are people coming and going on the main road, and the stream is endless. The business flow has been restored, and it is very prosperous.

As for the catastrophe of the demon country, it didn't affect this place either. There are monsters all over Qingzhou, but this place is like a paradise.

The gates of the city are full of traffic, and the common people pack small carts to transport food and rural goods, which seem to be sold in the city, which shows that the output of the farmers and weavers is not small.

However, where Yan Nu passed by, he saw that the people were still yellow and emaciated, and their clothes were ragged.

Is it possible that the food is so rich that there is still not enough to eat?

"There is a garden next to the Governor's Mansion. As far as I know, the Golden Horn is in that garden..." Zhu Jingang whispered.

Yan Nu looked at the center of the city, there was indeed a big garden there, and many laborers hunched over, transporting materials and decorating under the supervision of warriors.

Obviously the garden has not yet been built, but it has been extremely luxurious and magnificent.

Everyone looked at the garden carefully. The pavilions are elegant, with carved dragons and painted buildings, clear water and flowing flowers, and flowers blooming like brocades. Compared with the Zhang family's mansion in Huaxian County, it is much more luxurious.

"I can't sense the cave you mentioned at all." Several immortals were at a loss. They knew that the golden-horned monster was here, but they couldn't find it.

He knew that his cave was hidden in the garden, but he didn't know how to open it.

"Forget it, let's go to the city first." Zhang Bijiang said.

Yan Nu led the way into the city, only a group of soldiers and military officers intercepted the tax collection at the gate of the city.

In addition to the poll tax, there is actually a kind of "supporting opera tax".

"What is this?" Yan Nu was puzzled.

The soldiers said contemptuously: "You don't know about Fuxi? This is the way passed down from the ancient ancestor Fuxi, and it is the way to protect the country and protect the people!"

Good guy, opening his mouth is the holy ancestor Fuxi, instantly stunned Yan Nu and even several immortals.

On the contrary, Huang Banyun traveled to the rivers and lakes in the past, and was an official at the bottom, after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "But the exorcism ceremony?"

"Every year on Shangsi Day, sacrifices are made at the water's edge, washing and decontamination, and eliminating the ominous 'sacrifice of eliminating evil'?"

The soldiers nodded: "It's good that you know, but now it's not a yearly festival."

"Qingzhou is full of monsters. In our city of Linqu, monsters dare not set foot on the ground. Do you know why?"

"It's just because the governor improved the method of offering sacrifices to the gods, also known as Fuluan inviting immortals. According to the law, he can invite the upper body of the gods to show people good and bad, eliminate evil and pray for blessings."

"Officials and famous men in the city should do this more often. A small sacrifice every three days and a big sacrifice every seven days can protect the water and soil of one place, so that there will be no monsters left, and the night will be shaken and the people will be safe."

"Since you have entered this city, you have been blessed by the Tai Sui God and have benefited a lot. This is all due to the performance of the governor, and the ceremony of supporting the theater is very expensive. Of course, you have to pay taxes."

Everyone finally understood that the officials and scholars in this city actually governed the country with metaphysics.

Yan Nu didn't react yet, but Yu Yangzi sneered: "The literati and officials don't care about learning or government affairs. They are obsessed with worshiping gods and supporting Luan all day long, and they don't care about governing the people's livelihood."

"How dare you set up a name and use it to collect taxes, it's a big joke in the world."

Hearing this Yan slave, he said in a daze: "Ah? Is this thing useless?"

Yu Yangzi resolutely said: "If you pray for good weather and good weather, and the elimination of the disease, it may be useful. It depends on the conscience of the god."

"But it's nonsense to ask the gods to come to the body. Ever since the jedi Tiantong, righteous gods can't easily descend to the earth, let alone enter the body of a mortal. This will be punished by heaven."

However, his words provoked ridicule from all the soldiers.

Even some common people panicked and said: "You old fisherman, don't talk nonsense, how can the gods be punished by heaven?"

"Fuxi is effective. Many people in the city have learned this method. You only need to prepare a wooden plate filled with fine sand, insert the shaman pen on it, and say in your mouth that the god of Tai Sui is attached to you, and you will be out of control if you hold the shaman pen." write on the sand table."

"That's a revelation from the gods. You can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and ask about disasters and fortunes."

"Besides, there was no answer to the gods in the past, and there were countless famines. Now, as long as you pay the theater tax, the gods will be sacrificed to the gods, and the Tai Sui god will often appear, and also bless this place with good weather and good harvests. How dare you not pay taxes."

Yu Yangzi was stunned, of course he knew that the people were not telling lies, could this method really work?
He immediately activated his supernatural powers, and soon knew countless things in the city, and he couldn't help but look ugly.

"It turned out to be true... how is it possible? Could it be a loophole of Jedi Tiantong?"

"These Tai Sui gods, are they the ones bestowed by the First Emperor?"

"Damn it, I'm already a heaven-defying immortal, and the way of heaven won't help me open the door to the God Realm."

Yu Yangzi said secretly, wanting to try to ask in the God Realm.

But it's a pity that in the past, he could go to the God Realm whenever he wanted, and the gods had to give face, but now he can't.

Like Zhang Bijiang, he has completely become an immortal supported by Yan Nu. Of course, he is out of the control of the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Heavenly Dao is gone, these immortals can still exist.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, some abilities that compare identities are no longer effective.

It is no longer possible to go to the God Realm whenever they want, and the gods will not give them face.

"What Tai Sui God? I don't believe it, let him show up for me!" Yan Nu shouted frankly.

Everyone laughed, that's right, whether he is a true god or not, do they still care?
Yan Nu Xingtian, what kind of evil star is it?The thing about gods is not about slaughtering one person, but about genocide!

The three great gods are all sealed, and the Tai Sui God has a kind of real presence in front of Xing Tian!

But how did the soldiers know this?
Seeing Yan Nu's disrespectful words, he said angrily, "How dare you disrespect God?"

"This place protected by the gods, you can't let yourself be presumptuous."

"You have to pay taxes and enter the city, or leave, and if you dare to make trouble, you will be sent to prison!"

The soldier's voice was full of anger and majesty.

However, when he got angry, Yan Nu became even more angry: "Don't you know how to invite God? Call that God, and I will hand it over to him personally!"

What you said, the soldiers are so stupid that they dare to yell at God, can't they find death?

But how could they ask God?Re-export and use the law to suppress people.

"The Fuxi tax was set up by the imperial court at the request of the governor. It is for the national tax! Do you want to rebel? Take it!"

Many soldiers drew their swords, and the people around were trembling in fright. They persuaded them one after another: "My son, I see that you are well-dressed, and you are not short of this money. You must not resist the tax, otherwise you will be punished by the gods."

Yan Nu frowned and said: "Since this god blesses this place with good weather, why are everyone still pale and emaciated?"

The people were speechless and looked bitter.

Although the weather is good, the products are abundant, there is no threat of monsters, and even Xiaoxiao fears the gods and the law and order are good, such a good place, it is almost enviable to others.

Many of them migrated from other nearby counties after hearing about the benefits here.

Everything is as rumored, there is no trouble here, the water and soil are abundant, they work hard, and the output is several times that of the past.

However, the tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, and the corvee and taxes here are extremely heavy.

The official sacrifices again and again, and the Shihlin's wandering gods, each time is a great battle, and this is a must for the sanctuary of the gods, so there are countless types of taxation and labor, and there are many tricks and tricks.

In the end, they still have nothing to gain, they are hungry and full, and they work hard every day, build roads and bridges, smelt and weave endlessly, and suffer unspeakably.

It has nothing to do with the blooming flowers here.

But in front of the soldiers, how dare the common people say these things?

He only said: "There are no monsters, no plagues, and all bandits are extinct. I don't have to worry about endangering my life. This is a rare blessed land!"

"How can you not know what's good and what's wrong, and still want to have a shiny face? If Tai Sui knows that we are so greedy, then his life will be shortened."

"..." Yan Nu was stunned.

I saw that people were concerned, and the people showed fear on their faces.

Yu Yangzi couldn't stand it anymore: "Joke! When do you want to have enough to eat, and you don't know what to do?"

Yan Nu gritted his teeth, he has experienced the tyranny more fierce than a tiger.And the governor of this place has the endorsement of the gods, and can protect the land and water, which is obviously even more arrogant.

What kind of suppression is it that can make the people feel that being alive is considered a blessing.

The government may still be able to resist, and if the gods add the government, then don't think about it at all.As a result, the people have a little bit of not-too-excessive thinking, and they are afraid of losing their lives.

"What a joke!" Yan Nu suddenly grabbed the soldier: "It's that Gou Inspector again, isn't it?"

"More than half of the disasters in Qingzhou were caused by him. This person is not dead, but there is still a god to protect him?"

"I'm going to get rid of him today."

As he spoke, Huang Banyun immediately showed Gao Mi's military order beside him.

Killing him directly, that's the work of a ranger, the name is not right, and now Gaomi has Miaohan Chiqing sitting in the town, and they still have to get an orthodox identity from Gou Xi.

Gou Xi is in charge of the Qingzhou army, and if he gets some official status, Chi Qing can justifiably take over all parts of Qingzhou.

Seeing that military order now, the soldiers didn't dare to do anything wrong, it was the general's order of the Chang family army.

"It turned out to be a general from Gaomi. Let me wait... eh? You, a young general under the command of the prefect, dare to speak rudely to the governor? Even if your prefect comes, you can't be presumptuous!"

They were very confused. Although the Chang family army dominated Qingzhou, they still had to be restrained by Gou Xi in name.

Because the news didn't spread quickly, they didn't know that the Chang family had been replaced, and a group of people forcibly elected a sixth-grade scholar named Chi Qing as the prefect.

"What are you all doing here?"

At this moment, an armored general came from outside the city with a group of warriors on horseback.

"The Fuxi team has returned from picking orchids outside the city. We are ordered to clear the way, and the idlers retreat quickly to block the vertical cut!"

The cavalry team shouted, their faces were terrified.

The gatekeepers didn't dare to stand there, and drove the people to separate lanes like sheep. Some people couldn't avoid it, and were kicked and dragged by the soldiers.

The cavalry team did not stop for a moment, holding high the command flag, and rushed straight to the city gate.

It seems that slowing down is disrespectful to the gods.

And behind them, a group of children from aristocratic families, dressed in gorgeous costumes, returned from playing in a four-horse chariot.

They have a huge team, with thousands of servants, and they are extremely ostentatious, holding high various banners and various sacrificial ritual vessels.

There is even a statue of a god, wearing a war robe, holding a big knife, looking majestic and angry, with a golden horn on his head.

"Among the Tai Sui gods, is there this one?" Yu Yangzi recalled.

There are sixty gods in charge of the misfortunes and fortunes of the world, all of whom were canonized by the first emperor.

All of them are loyal and virtuous sages from ancient times, and some of them have strange appearances, but I have never heard of anyone with golden horns on their heads.

"Is this the image of the monster?" Xiu Yanggong asked.

Zhu Jingang bowed his head and responded, "Yes, yes."

Zhang Pijiang said with a strange expression: "Ah? This monster actually steals incense from the world, delusional to confer gods!"
