"Blood tax?"

Song Yan looked at Du Lengqiu and suddenly smiled.

"Sir is not like I am from Middle-earth. In a word, Du Lengqiu's heart trembled slightly

"Blood tax, as the name suggests, is to pay taxes with blood. He sighed, "Every family must hand over a man of school age to serve in the Northlands." There is only one circumstance in which tax exemption is granted. ”

"Oh, what's the situation?"

"If there is a child in the family who is promoted to congenital before the age of twenty, the child can be sent to Jiangnan to practice the immortal law, and the family will be exempted from paying blood tax. ”

Du Lengqiu nodded thoughtfully, "Therefore, everyone goes to the martial arts hall to practice hard, so the martial arts hall can bloom everywhere." ”

"Yes, every city has a Heavenly Alliance martial arts hall opened by the Heavenly Alliance, which teaches everyone all martial arts from internal breath to innate for free, but in the end, there are too many people to be busy, so there are other martial arts halls. ”

Song Yan smiled bitterly, "That's it, a martial arts hall without real talent and real learning can't be opened at all, for example, my Song family martial arts hall." Because there is no innate grandmaster in charge, and there is no innate martial arts to teach, the business is getting worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer apprentices, that is, relying on the cheap tuition fees, teach those apprentices with poor qualifications and give them a little capital to save their lives. ”

The two drank and chatted, and the sunlight changed from direct to oblique. Yaya sat on the stone grinder, shaking her short legs and looking at the door boredly.

Until the sun set, a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old hurried over.

Song Yan saw that his expression was even more bitter, and scolded: "Lingji, you went to mess with the people in the training class again." How many times have I told you, those people are liars. ”

The young man stiffly said, "Don't worry about it." "Rushed into the kitchen, took two steamed buns, turned around and left. When passing by Yaya's side, the young man touched her head softly. The girl called out to her brother, and the young man hummed and left.

Song Yan said with a bitter face: "Let you see the smile, brother." He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down. He let out a long sigh, as if to swallow the bitterness of his stomach with wine.

"Song Lingfei, the eldest of my family, paid blood tax the year before last and went to the West Surrender City. The relationship between the two brothers is very good, and Lingji is bent on advancing to the Innate Realm as soon as possible, so that Lingfei can come back. However, my Song family's family martial arts can't be practiced at all, and I don't have enough financial resources to buy a panacea for him. ”

"This kid later got involved with the crooks in the training course. No matter how much I persuaded him, he didn't listen, if it weren't for Yumei's illness in bed and couldn't be stimulated, I would have broken his legs. ”

"Hey, the family is unfortunate. Speaking of this, the tears hanging in the corners of Song Yan's eyes finally flowed. He wiped it casually and said embarrassedly: "Let my brother laugh." ”

"Hehe, drink and drink. ”

Song Yan poured two sips, slammed the cup on the table, and shouted: "When Sister Yu recovers, I will definitely clean up this kid." ”

"What is the so-called training class for?" Du Lengqiu hadn't seen it since he entered the city, but he was a little curious.

At the mention of these three words, Song Yan gritted his teeth, "Originally, there was no training class in Miyang City, but since the Yutian Alliance ......"

Du Lengqiu listened to it for a long time, summarized Song Yan's upside down, and finally understood the cause and effect.

The training course is to assist the martial arts hall. Since the formulation of the rules for the promotion of congenital exemption from paying blood tax, not only have there been many large and small martial arts halls, but the market of the training class is even hotter. In order to be able to promote their children to congenital before the age of 20, every family is in a hurry to go to the doctor, which makes scammers popular. And the Imperial Alliance, which rules the world, pursues the rule of inaction and turns a blind eye to these chaos.

In Miyang City, one of the most popular training courses is the "Immortal Reserve Training Course" that Song Lingji participated in. On the first and fifteenth days of each month, they would preach under the largest laurel tree in Miyang City, and the audience would be crowded. Song Lingji went to occupy the front seat early in the morning, very obsessed.

Drinking, the most taboo to drink stuffy alcohol. When you are in a bad mood, you can get drunk when you drink alcohol. Song Yan was already drunk and hazy, but soon the alcohol surged, and he fell asleep on the table.

At this time, the climate in the northwest was slightly cold, Du Lengqiu took him into the bedroom and threw him away, and then took the maid out of the restaurant. At this time, the sunset has set, the afterglow of the sunset reflects the whole city, the autumn breeze is slightly cool, and the girl tightens her clothes a little shrunken.

Du Lengqiu held her hand and took a trace of internal qi, which quickly warmed her whole body. Yaya's eyes rolled wildly, and she suddenly spoke, "Big brother, are you taking me to find my brother home?"

As soon as Yaya opened her mouth like this, Du Lengqiu suddenly became a little interested in the training class. He picked a noodle restaurant with oily noodles, asked for two bowls of noodles, and cut a plate of braised pork.

The northwest man is real, and the noodle bowl is almost as big as the basin. Du Lengqiu ate some casually, but Yaya's face was flushed, and her little belly was very cute.

In the end, only thirty-three copper plates were used.

Before leaving, Yaya was still a little reluctant. Du Lengqiu smiled and asked, "Do you want another bowl?"

"No, but Mommy hasn't eaten dinner yet!"

Du Lengqiu stroked his forehead, "I'm dizzy, why did I forget the sick number." Okay, Yaya, your mother is going to eat something light now. When we go back, we will find a restaurant to make some bone soup and bring it back. ”

The girl clapped her hands and smiled.

The two walked along the street, and it didn't take long for them to see the pedestrians on the street shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, the immortal master has come to speak." "People rushed forward, mostly with fanatical faces.

Suddenly, someone on the side of the road scolded: "Those are all liars, liars." But people turned a deaf ear and paid no attention to it. When the street was empty, Du Lengqiu took Yaya and continued to walk. And the people who are scolding are still jumping to their feet, "These stupid people, stupid people." Our good man training class is the best. Stupid......"

Du Lengqiu laughed dumbly when he heard this.

Soon, past the low houses, a huge laurel tree can be seen. The branches and foliage are abundant, and they are more than 20 meters high. The golden osmanthus flowers bloom one after another, exuding an elegant fragrance.

People crowded through the alleys, tiptoeing and holding their heads up, so that a needle could not be inserted and water could not be splashed. Du Lengqiu picked up Yaya, jumped on the roof, and just saw a person flying in the clouds.

The man was dressed in a square clothes, his complexion was like jade, his hands were dusty, and he was wearing a jade crown on his head. He sat on the cloud platform and sang melodiously: "The tree of gui, the tree of gui, the real person who has attained the Tao will talk about immortals, and teach you to eat the moon and serve the essence of the day." The main way is to save and not be annoying: 'indifferent, inactive, natural.' ’”

is so good-looking, no one believes it if it is not a god. Du Lengqiu was a little funny, this person's cultivation is easy to see, similar to him, it should be according to the cultivation of the spiritual realm, but I don't know how many gods have been awakened, and why they came here to be a liar. That cloud-shaped magic weapon is not bad, and it adds a lot of impression points to this guy.

Immediately afterwards, the man knocked on the jade chime, and his voice was clear. Suddenly, everyone fell silent, and this person's face was calm, and he said lightly, "Who is the immortal? I am the immortal." Where did the gods come from? ”

After the prologue was over, the man lowered the cloud and began to preach.

The so-called preaching is actually saying something big and inappropriate. It is more than enough to fool laymen, but if you want to rely on these cultivation to become immortals, it is like what the Bodhi Patriarch said to the monkey at the beginning - the mirror flowers and water are busy in vain.

A true sentence is transmitted, and a false transmission is passed on to ten thousand books. There are thousands of volumes in the world, but they are just gossip. Without the Cultivation Diagram Refining God Diagram, the upper limit of cultivation is the Gangqi Grandmaster.

This guy preached for a while, then stopped and began to advertise for his own training class, and the hardcore advertising had no sense of disobedience, which aroused many people's hearts.

Du Lengqiu smiled and left early, found a restaurant, packed a bone broth and returned to the Song Family Martial Arts Hall. Song Yan was still asleep. Yaya brought the soup to Mrs. Song. Du Lengqiu jumped to the roof of the house by himself and continued to refine the relevant tricks of ear and divine truth.

In the middle of the night, Song Lingji quietly went home and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night

Early in the morning of the second day, Du Lengqiu finished collecting the oriental purple gas. Yaya was muttering to Song Yan about last night's incident. Song Yan's old face was flushed, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to crash to death on the stone grinder.

The drunken and unconscious family who entertained the guests disgraced the face of the Northwest man. Du Lengqiu jumped down, and Song Yan muttered: "Brother, I'm ......"

Du Lengqiu waved his hand, "Ha, Brother Song, let's go to Qi San's house." ”

Song Yan saw the topic shift, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go." Yaya, you take care of your mother at home, don't let her move. Breakfast was waiting for me to come back and make it. ”

After Song Yan finished speaking, he took the lead with his head covered, and quickly ran towards the south of the city.

Du Lengqiu followed unhurriedly. After a while, Song Yan's embarrassed state of mind eased, he slowed down, turned around and said: "Qi Wuyun is a coachman, and later he was old and his legs were not dexterous, so he lived by setting up stalls and selling sugar water in the city. Fortunately, Qi San is angry, and now he is much better than me. ”

Song Yan looked a little envious, "The two eldest daughters of his family are already married, and Qi San ranks third. He smiled and said, "It's a joke to talk about." The rankings of big families will not rank women to come in, but Qi Wuyun doesn't care about this, so when he hears Qi San's name, some people think that he has two brothers. ”

"At the beginning, Qi San advanced to the innate realm and was selected to go to Jiangnan to cultivate immortals, which caused a sensation in Miyang City. His father asked him to join the White Ape Immortal Sword Sect at the beginning, just thinking that he could be a dart master. ”

Speaking of which, Song Yan looked very envious. Between talking and laughing, time slips away the most. Soon, they were in the south of the city. Song Yan pointed to a family and said, "Brother, that's Qi San's house." Their Qi family Ding is not prosperous, in addition to Qi San, he also has a sister and a brother. I wonder who's at home now?"

The door of Qi's house is not closed, the inside is cleaned very clean and tidy, a pomegranate tree is planted in the southeast corner of the courtyard, and the red pomegranate is dotted with green leaves, which is beautiful and moving.

The sound of looms clanging in the hall was distinctly rhythmic, and there was a symmetrical and pleasant beauty.

Du Lengqiu looked at it for a while, then turned sideways and arched his hand at Song Yan and said, "Brother Song, my sister-in-law's body has not recovered yet, go and take care of her." Yaya is at home alone, which is always reassuring. ”

"Then I'll go first. If there is something wrong with the brothers, just say hello, and I will go to the soup and fire, and I will not hesitate. ”

When Song Yan walked away, Du Lengqiu knocked on the door with his fingers and shouted, "Is anyone at home?"

A drooping girl walked out of the main entrance of the hall and said in a coquettish voice, "Are you here to find my father?" The girl gave birth to a round face, looking at her eyebrows and facial features, and she was vaguely similar to Qi San.

Du Lengqiu said calmly: "I have news of your brother Qi San, go find your father and come back." ”

"It's great that you have news of the third brother!" the girl jumped with joy, smiled, jumped up and ran out. When she got to the door, she ran back again, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "Sir, please come to the house for tea." ”

When they got inside, the girl hummed softly and made tea. Broken tea, dried dates, red beans, green salt, after a pot of messy stew, the taste of the tea soup is actually good.

After settling in, the girl ran out of the house, not afraid that Du Lengqiu was a thief and liar.
