Chapter 207 Beihai County Order
Huang Xue looked at the scene in front of her, the wolf demon turned out to be a posture of wanting to eat people in public, but Chanyu, who had always been jealous and hateful beside her, had no intention of interfering, but when she had scruples, she was suddenly a little anxious, and she was about to step forward to help.
Seeing this, Tianhua on the side hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Ah Xue, what are you going to do?" ”
Huang Xue didn't expect Tianhua to refuse to intervene, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, it looks like I'm about to eat people." ”
Tianhua smiled: "Don't worry, the eldest brother assures you that nothing will happen." ”
Huang Xue was helpless, so she had to stop and look at it again.
I saw that the fat man was also a little frightened at this time, and took two steps back and said, "Don't scare me, it's a big deal that I will lose your money." ”
Hearing this, the wolf demon's face changed instantly, and he stopped and said, "It's good to be interesting, otherwise I will beat you up." Tell me, how much should I be paid?"
The fat man said, "How much do you want?"
The wolf demon said: "We wolf clan, the tail is the most fragile, you go down, I'm afraid I will spend a lot of money to heal." Well, at least ...... At least a hundred dollars. ”
Huang Xue was stunned at this time, thinking that it was a scene of monsters hurting people, who would have thought that it would become a scene of extorting money on the street, this change in rhythm really caught people off guard.
"A hundred dollars?" the fat man exclaimed in surprise and said angrily: "You are really blackmailing, don't bully me and don't know anything." The deer clan opposite my house broke a front leg a while ago, and it was only 30 yuan to be cured. A hundred bucks, it's really a dream. I see that your tail has not been broken, so you need any healing, but you can recuperate for two days. I'll pay you a maximum of fifteen cents. ”
The wolf demon's blackmail was exposed, and he immediately became angry and said: "Nonsense, the tail of our wolf clan is the most precious, and it is more important than the front legs of the deer clan, and now I am seriously injured, if you don't compensate me...... This, if you don't pay me sixty dollars, I'll take you to the City Lord's Mansion to theorize. ”
The fat man sneered: "There are rules in the City Lord's Mansion that monsters who have not completed their transformation are not allowed to enter the city at will. You can't even put your tail away, so you come to this city gate, and if you get to the city lord's mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to please it. Paying you fifteen dollars is already sympathetic to you, if you are still greedy, let's go to the city lord's mansion to theorize. ”
At this time, the dispute between the two had already attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate, and a soldier came over and shouted, "What's going on here?"
The wolf demon was startled, and hurriedly said: "Okay, fifteen dollars is fifteen dollars, just when I'm unlucky." ”
The fat man smiled faintly, took out his money bag, counted some money, and handed it to the wolf demon.
The wolf demon took a closer look and said angrily, "This is ten dollars! What about the fifteen dollars that I said?"
The fat man said: "It's this ten dollars, do you want it?"
The wolf demon put away the money hatefully, and when his body shook, he became much shorter, and his face changed back to a human form, and he spat fiercely on the ground, and then he no longer looked at the fat man, but turned into a smiling face, and said to the soldiers who came over: "Master Jun, it's nothing, I met a friend and said a few gossips." ”
When the soldier heard this, he stopped and said impatiently, "If it's okay, let's leave quickly." ”
The wolf demon sighed, squatted down and tucked his tail into his robe, and hurriedly walked towards the city.
Seeing the farce in front of him disappear into invisibility, Huang Xue was still dumbfounded, and Tianhua smiled and said to Chanyu: "Uncle Deng, look, Ah Xue seems to be even more surprised than you were back then. ”
Chanyu's face turned red, and said: "What's so strange about this, the first time you see this kind of thing, everyone will be surprised, you don't have to talk about others, you didn't get much better that day, you almost held a bright silver hammer to slaughter the city." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "Sister Deng, eldest brother, what is going on? Could it be that there are many monsters in this Xiangping City?"
Chanyu said with a smile: "Don't say that it is Xiangping City, that is, the entire Beihai County, which is a place where people and demons live together. ”
Huang Xueqi said: "How can this be?"
So, Chanyu introduced the situation of Beihai County to Huang Xue.
Beihai County has been bordering the wild continent in the north since ancient times, and it is adjacent to the East China Sea, so there have always been many demon clans.
Most of the monsters are cultivated by beasts, and if there are many monsters, they will naturally eat people, which is the law of nature, and there is nothing strange about it.
Humans are eaten by monsters, so they will naturally be dissatisfied, so they will appeal to the imperial court, but this place is too far away from the imperial court, and the control power is not strong, so there is no good way. This is also the reason why Beihai County is often in turmoil, because the imperial court can't control it at all, and the people have no centripetal force towards the imperial court.
The local people saw that the court could not control this matter, so in desperation, they had to turn to pray to the gods. This is a coincidence, not far from the East China Sea, is the base camp of the sect, and on the islands dotted with stars, there are countless monks living in the sect.
The monks who intercepted the sect and were also cultivators, naturally they also had the ability to perceive the heart of heaven, and when they heard the prayers of the people, they came to Beihai County one after another to rectify the monsters here.
The Tongtian Sect Master is a person who has no class, so the Sect Interception Immortals are also affected by this, and their methods will not be as rough as the Sect Immortals, but mainly to establish order. The monsters that eat people are naturally killed or suppressed, while the monsters who keep to themselves are slowly educated by the sectarians and stayed.
After a long time, the order between the people and demons in Beihai County has finally been established, with humans as the mainstay, monsters as supplements, and they jointly abide by the laws formulated by the government, and everyone lives honestly, but they have always been peaceful. What Huang Xue sees in front of her now is the truest portrayal of this order.
This can also explain why Chanyu and Tianhua, people who quarrel every day to get rid of demons, turn a blind eye to these monsters.
Since none of these monsters are harmful, there is no need to kill them all.
When Huang Xue heard this, she was immediately a little fascinated, if the demon clan could coexist peacefully with humans, it would be a happy land. But thinking of this, she said a little suspiciously: "In that case, why does this Beihai County always rebel and attract the imperial court to conquest?"
Chanyu said helplessly: "Beihai County is actually quite rich in property due to the mixing of people and demons, but no matter people or demons here, they only recognize the county guard, not the imperial court, and the people are fierce, so it is common to resist taxes and not pay." Every time the imperial court levies it, it can collect taxes for decades, and it is not surprising that it is calculated. ”
It's no wonder that this kind of battle, which can not only train soldiers but also make money, is willing to fight if it is changed.
At this time, Tianhua interjected on the side: "But this time the imperial court sent Wen Taishi to go on the expedition, but it is really a little unusual. This battle has been fought for seven years, and the money and food consumed have far exceeded usual, in addition to the reasons on the side of Dong Bohou, it is said that there are also reasons for Wen Taishi himself. ”
Chan Yu and Huang Xue listened to him interject, a little strange, Chan Yu said strangely: "What is the reason for the Wen Taishi?"
Tianhua said: "Wen Taishi has a lot to do with the sect, it stands to reason that he was unwilling to take care of the affairs of Beihai in the past, but for some reason, this time he advocated a war against Beihai, and even personally led the troops to come, but he was unable to win, and my father also felt a little strange about this matter." According to what he thought, he was afraid that there was something wrong between Beihai County and the Interception Sect. ”
Huang Xue asked, "What's the problem?"
Tianhua shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do I know? Even my father and Zigan can't know about this matter, but I'm afraid that only Master Wen himself can know." ”
Everyone talked for a long time, and Huanglong Zhenren on the side suddenly spoke: "It's not early now, let's go into the city and talk about it." ”
Long Xuhu also said: "Huang Xue, let's go into the city, I'm hungry." ”
Huang Xue was about to enter the city, when she suddenly remembered something and hesitated: "Sister Deng, you and I are both young women, do you want to dress up to avoid trouble?"
Chanyu was a proud character, and shook her head decisively: "What's wrong with the young woman? I, Deng Chanyu, have traveled all over the world, and I never need any pretense, but I am not afraid of any trouble." ”
Tianhua also said: "With me and Uncle Huanglong here, what else can I do?"
Huang Xue saw Chanyu's resolute tone, and it was difficult to persuade her again. She didn't dress up, and she was naturally embarrassed to dress up again, so she had to walk towards the city gate with everyone.
