Chapter 38: Trapping Yourself in the Net

Lingshan faction, receiving Fengtai.

At this time of the year, the Lingshan Sect would send a part of its cultivators to the gates of the surrounding cities and prefectures, or to the surrounding villages and tribes to collect a year's offering. At the same time, the Lingshan Sect was responsible for providing them with protection.

This is also the reason why the Li family desperately gritted their teeth and made offerings to Lingshan, not only to provide Li Chengfeng with a way to practice, but also to protect the Li family from bullying and harassment in Cheng'an.

As for a cultivation sect like the Lingshan School, although the great cultivators have transcended the five ordinary human ethics and jumped out of birth, old age, sickness and death, as a cultivator, as long as they have not ascended to immortality, it means that they still need to rely on the flesh furnace to live, so they must also eat, drink and Lazar.

As the so-called poor literature and rich martial arts, ruined family practice, learning literature does not need to pay too much cost, even the poor can find a promotion channel and a way out on the literary road; but the practice of martial arts is different, the practice of martial arts needs to be polished and tempered from an early age, no money can not hire a famous teacher, can not learn the real exercises, no money can not buy famous medicines, let alone make up for the huge physical wear and tear caused by the practice of martial arts.

As for cultivation, even a well-off family with a solid family background does not dare to expect cultivation at all. Not to mention the elixir and spiritual herbs that need to be consumed for cultivation, let's just say that the magic weapons and magic weapons that need to be refined for cultivation, these costs are astronomical!

It is impossible for a sect to bear these costs for every disciple, and these need to be filled by the disciples who have just started at their own expense, otherwise they will only be eliminated by the way that awaits them.

It is precisely because of this that the more powerful the cultivation sect, the more it needs many family gate valves to spend huge sums of money every year to support them, and in return, these family gate valves will have better opportunities to enter the cultivation process.

In front of the mountain gate of the Lingshan Sect, there was a long queue, all of them were Lingshan disciples who went down the mountain to collect offerings, and each of them held a small Ruyi bag in their hands, this bag looked ordinary, but it could hold huge things inside, and all the offerings received by each person were in it.

The receiving platform is located on the halfway of the Lingshan Sect Niu'er Peak, the bottom of the mountain is a stone road made of stone steps, all the way to the mountain gate in the middle of the mountainside, behind the mountain gate is the stone platform that is repaired flat and huge, the stone platform is high and majestic. The first to pay the offerings were mostly the patriarchs of the big families, and the tall stone platform was repaired to show the majesty of the Lingshan faction, which was daunting.

At the highest point of the high platform is placed a long cyan table with a long head, there is a finely carved flower platform at one end, and a delicate and detailed magic circle is carved on the flower platform, each disciple who goes down the mountain places the Ruyi bag in his hand on the flower platform, this Ruyi bag will be flickered after a faint multicolored light, disappear, and then there will be several smoke-like words on the huge glass mirror inlaid on one side of the flower platform, writing the number of offerings contained in the Ruyi bag.

Behind the desk stood three men, two with beards under their chins, wearing two green-edged monk's uniforms, standing on both sides like stone statues, like gods on the left and right doors, to deter others and prevent people from seeing money, and in the middle of the desk stood a man with a black mole on the left side of his face, named Sun Boyi, every time he saw a string of numbers emerge from a wishful bag in the flower table, he would wave his hand lightly on an account book in front of the desk, and a line of words would automatically appear on the account book to record this string of numbers.

"Dongchuan Ouyang family, collect five thousand silver!"

"Dongchuan Liu family, collect and worship eight thousand silver!"

"Yinzhou Xie family, collect four thousand three hundred silver!"

"Heyue Zhao family, collect and worship 13,000 silver!"

"Northwest warriors, collect offerings...... One hundred thousand silver!"

This number shocked everyone in line, and they all exchanged their heads: "Northwest Zhanjia? Which Zhanjia is so rich?"

"Which one else can there be? Of course, it's the champion Hou Zhanjia!"

"Ah, aren't they from the northwest? If they don't go to the sect in the west, what will they do with our Lingshan faction?"

"What's the matter! What's wrong with our Lingshan Sect? The Lingshan Sect ranks third among the world's cultivation sects! How many people want to go into the mountains to cultivate? How can a mere warrior be exempt from vulgarity?"

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense. But all the family lords will scatter their disciples into various sects and factions in order to learn from the strengths of all families! Otherwise, how do you think the Northwest War Family can defend the Northwest for hundreds of years without falling? It's just that I don't know if it's a dragon or a phoenix coming this time?"

"It's really lonely, Long Feng has long been involved in other sects, only pigs and dogs are left, but I don't know if it's pigs or dogs this time. ”

Champion Hou has three sons and one daughter, each with different talents, and is called a dragon, a phoenix, a dog, and a pig by the world.

The eldest son Zhan Qitian, said to be eight feet tall, dragon and tiger steps, there are strange visions, at the age of eight he showed an otherworldly side, both civil and military have amazing talents, at the age of twelve he was exceptionally accepted by the Qiankun Divine Sect, at the age of fifteen he successfully built the foundation, broke the practice record, and at the age of twenty he cultivated into a golden body that is not bad, the world was shocked!

And the second daughter Zhan Qiyun, it is rumored to be the best in the world, not to mention the beauty, but also a rare female practitioner with outstanding talent, at the age of ten was accepted as a disciple by Fengwu Pavilion, and at the age of thirteen came to Tiankui before successfully building a foundation, refreshing the cultivation record maintained by Zhan Qitian, and also breaking the earliest foundation building record of female practitioners, causing a sensation in the world.

But after this dragon and a phoenix, the remaining two sons are mediocre because they live under the halo of their brother and sister, and they are called "pigs" and "dogs" by the world.

A group of people whispered, and suddenly they didn't know who to start with, and they fell silent, and the silence spread like a wave, and soon the bustling mountain gate became silent.

The man who was recording raised his head and looked puzzled, but saw that the disciples of Lingshan who were queuing up got out of the way, an old man dragged a cart, and a man in a robe came slowly on the car, and everyone saw that the man in the car had a face like being burned by flames, his face was terrifying, and his two eyes were all gone, leaving only two terrifying black holes, and the flesh and blood were blurred!

This situation was really a bit terrifying, and everyone was silent for a while.

Sun Boyi, who was recording, saw it at a glance, and was stunned for a moment, he was a little unimpressed, but after a cursory look at this person's figure, it turned out to be a little familiar, and after a closer look, he suddenly burst into tears, and let out a cry of grief: "Brother!!"

Sun Boyi instantly pounced, took his brother, he only glanced at it, and was shocked by his brother's miserable situation, he turned around sharply, grabbed the old man's neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Is it you?

The old man was pinched, and he struggled and said, "No, no, with the old slave...... Not...... It doesn't matter......"

Sun Boyi's eyes were cracked: "Then why is he like this!"

In just one breath, the old man was pinched and almost out of breath, and the disciples who went down the mountain next to him were stunned, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and at this time, a middle-grade green-edged monk standing on the side spoke: "Sun Boyi, stop!"

Sun Boyi gasped for a few breaths, let go of his hand suddenly, the old man fell to the ground, coughed violently, he raised his face, and argued hard: "Master Mingjian, the old slave is wronged!"

The green-edged monk stepped forward and carefully examined Sun Boyi's brother, his face full of doubts: "What the hell is going on?"

The old man got up, hunched his back, arched his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "The old slave is Li Kun, the steward of the Li family in Cheng'an! When the master came to my Li family to receive offerings a few days ago, he was attacked at the mouth of the alley! The incident happened near our Li family, and the Li family was frightened and uneasy, so they specially sent the old slave to escort the master back to the mountain, and explained the matter clearly! I also hope that all the masters will be aware of everything!"

As he spoke, Li Kun kowtowed, his head snorting on the hard bluestone ground.

The green-edged monk sneered, "Hmph, I sent you, an old man, to die, right?"

Sun Boyi suddenly roared: "Impossible, who would hurt my brother like this for the sake of a little money!"

The green-edged monk frowned, his eyes were like lightning staring at Li Kun, but seeing that although Li Kun looked frightened, he showed no signs of lying, he nodded slightly, and said, "The person is still alive, but he has lost his mind, and I don't know if he can be saved." ”

Sun Boyi knelt down and cried: "Uncle Zhang, I was brought up by my brother since I was a child, and he is a relative in the world, and I asked Uncle Zhang to save him, Boyi is willing to be a cow and a horse for Uncle Zhang!"

This Master Zhang waved his hand and said, "Since they are all disciples of the Lingshan Sect, they naturally have an unshirkable responsibility. Come on, bring it back first, and then talk about it when the head uncle sees it. ”

At this time, a disciple stepped forward and helped Sun Boyi's brother up and sent him up to the mountain.

Master Zhang turned his head at this time and said coldly to Li Kun: "Since you said that he was robbed, it seems that the Li family's offering this time will not be handed over?"

Li Kun hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you! The master was killed in the Li family, and it is naturally difficult for our Li family to take heavy responsibility, and here is the 10,000 silver that has been made up, and I apologize!"

When Master Zhang heard this, his originally cold face immediately softened a little.

"Apologize?" Sun Boyi gritted his teeth and looked at Li Kun, his eyes showing a fierce light, "Your Li family has to pay for this!"

"Sun Boyi, kneel!" Zhang Shibo scolded coldly, and Sun Boyi immediately knelt on the spot with a grunt.

Zhang Shibo said: "The matter has not been clarified, Hugh has to talk nonsense!"

Sun Boyi wiped his tears, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Yes!"

Li Kun said: "Because there is no Guru Dharma Weapon Immortal Weapon to carry money, the convoy is parked at the bottom of the mountain at this time. I also ask the Guru to come down the mountain with me to collect the money. ”

Master Zhang bowed slightly, he expected that this Moon Washing Sect would not dare to play any tricks, so he said to the two disciples, "You go with him." ”

Then Uncle Zhang glanced at Li Kun and said, "You come with me and explain what happened clearly." If the Li family is innocent, it will naturally be dealt with fairly, and if you are found to be a thief, you will be caught by the thief...... Hmph!"

Master Zhang snorted heavily, and the sound was like a heavy hammer, slamming heavily on Li Kun's heart, shaking his already rickety back even more bent.

Zhang Shibo turned his head and wanted to leave, but saw that Sun Boyi was still kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth, his face was distorted, and he scolded: "What are you doing in a daze?

Sun Boyi got up, he glanced at Li Kun who left with Uncle Zhang hatefully, gritted his teeth and wiped it on the desk with his hand, and suddenly a line of blood-red text appeared on the account book of the desk: Cheng'an washes the moon Li family, and collects 10,000 silver!

This line of text is scarlet and abnormal, as if it is drenched in blood!
