Ji Zhenglin is for profit, not to kill, the head of the Tian family is willing to give in, so he got off the donkey and said: "For the sake of the face of the Tian patriarch, I won't care about them, and I don't want much labor fees, half a spirit stone for each immortal cultivator, a total of seventeen." ”

Seventeen spirit stones are not small, fortunately, there is still a surplus in this harvest, and the Tian family patriarch divided seventeen pieces from the materials worth twenty-seven spirit stones that were divided before, sighed, and said: "Ji Steward, this is the labor fee worth seventeen spirit stones, please collect it." ”

Seventeen spirit stones are also a lot of income for Qi refining cultivators, this errand is really worth it, seeing that the elders of the Tian family honestly paid the labor fees, Na Ji Zhenglin suddenly smiled, put away the materials on the ground, and said: "It's still the Tian clan chief who knows the current affairs." ”

After putting away the materials, Ji Zhenglin was about to turn around and leave, but he looked up and saw Qingyang standing next to him, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this person?" Why does it look so strange? ”

The patriarch of the Tian family introduced: "This little brother of Qingyang is a monk from other places, he got lost in the mountains and forests, so he came to our Tianjia Village to have a look, this time it is also thanks to the little brother of Qingyang, if it is not for him to help, our Tian family will not say that it is a harvest, whether it can come back is not easy to say?" ”

Hearing that Qingyang was just a foreign monk, Ji Zhenglin suddenly had a crooked mind again, although he couldn't see through the cultivation, but he could mix with the people of Tianjiazhuang? How high can cultivation go? Behind him was Jinjiling Town, with a foundation monk as a backer, so he glanced at Qingyang up and down, and then said to the patriarch of the Tian family: "I'm afraid you don't know, this levy is not only for our local monks, but also for foreign monks, and the offerings need to be doubled." ”

The patriarch of the Tian family didn't expect it to be extraneous and said, "Ah, there is such a thing? ”

Ji Zhenglin said: "That's true, the task of this levy is issued from above, the time is tight, and the task is heavy, otherwise the mayor of the town will not send me to come here, there is a stipulation above, the local monks below the gas refining will be levied for two times the year, and the monks below the foreign qi refining will each have ten spirit stones." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people of Tianjiazhuang, who had just been suppressed, suddenly spoke, and Tian Dayong said: "A person wants a stone spirit stone? Isn't this trying to force us to death? ”

Tian Dazhuang said: "How many years, I have never heard that foreign monks also need to pay for worship, how can this be true, the town does this, isn't it afraid of rebellion below?" ”

The patriarch of the Tian family couldn't help but say: "Yes, Ji Steward, this kind of thing is unheard of, if there is no clear statement, our Tianjiazhuang will not agree." ”

Seeing that the Tian family was indignant, and even the patriarch of the Tian family refused to comply, Ji Zhenglin also knew that this request was a bit outrageous, so he said: "Since the patriarch Tian wants a clear statement, then I will tell you the real reason, this levy is because the demon beasts are coming to attack our Funiu County, and the purchase of war preparation materials is used, I thought that the time was sufficient, so I gave you a three-month deadline, who knew that the demon beasts suddenly advanced, because the situation was urgent, the town mayor had to send us to various villages, It is required that the additional spirit stones must be brought back within half a month. ”

Before, the people of Tianjiazhuang only knew about the levy above, and they didn't know what the reason was, but now when they heard Ji Zhenglin say this, everyone was shocked, it was actually because of the monster beast attacking the city, so the levy was also said in the past, every time the demon beast attacked the city, it was a disaster for the monks here, countless casualties, the city was destroyed, and a lot of resources were consumed.

Because there are many monsters here, it often happens that monsters attack humans, and even attack villages, towns, and cities. Don't talk about encountering it in the wild, even if you live in a village or town, you will be attacked by monsters, such as Tianjiazhuang, every few years it will be attacked by some monsters, and every time there will be casualties, fortunately, the level of the monsters that attack the village is not high, and there is a wall outside the village to resist, but there has been no major incident, but there are also villages that are not lucky enough, and the villagers have suffered heavy casualties after being attacked by monsters, and even the village has been razed to the ground, and the villagers have been displaced.

In addition to the village, the town sometimes encounters demon beast attacks, such attacks are mostly on a large scale, often the fourth and fifth order demon beasts with a large number of low-level demon beasts, take turns to attack Jinjiling Town, every time each village has to send people to help, the battle is very tragic, but Jinjiling Town has a foundation monk in the town, and everyone can still protect the safety of one side when they work together.

Larger-scale demon beast sieges generally occur in the county seat or the big city of cultivating immortals, all of which are organized by Jindan demon beasts or Yuanying demon cultivators, the scale of the demon beast group is larger, and the Jindan demon beasts and Yuanying demon cultivators have spiritual wisdom, such sieges are more difficult to deal with, and every time it happens, human monks suffer heavy losses, but such large-scale monster sieges do not happen often, and they may not necessarily happen once in decades, but as long as they happen, it will be a catastrophe for human monks, once the city is broken, not only the monks in the city will suffer, None of the human monks living in the entire region will end well.

Although the people of Tianjiazhuang have not personally experienced, but often hear of this kind of thing, it also happens in other places, thinking of the tragic situation after the city was breached, the people of Tianjiazhuang no longer dared to open their mouths indiscriminately, seeing their own words to stop the people of Tianjiazhuang, Ji Zhenglin said: "The matter of resisting the attack of demon beasts is very important, once Funiu County is attacked by demon beasts and loses the protection of high-level monks, those of us who live in Funiu County will suffer, so the above urgently requires everyone to have money to contribute powerfully, Even foreign monks are not immune. ”

Although I don't know if what Ji Zhenglin said is true or not, but it is a big deal to involve the demon beast attacking the city, in case he is sued by this guy, the entire Tianjiazhuang will not be able to eat and walk around, and the head of the Tian family has no choice but to take out the remaining materials worth ten spirit stones and give them to Ji Zhenglin.

Part of the materials harvested by Tianjiazhuang this time originally belonged to Qingyang, and Qingyang didn't want to be put away by them, and now Ji Zhenglin asked foreign monks to also need spirit stones, of course, the patriarch of the Tian family couldn't let Qingyang pay out of his own pocket, and by the way, he also handed over a share of Qingyang.

For Ji Zhenglin, as long as the spirit stones can be collected, whoever pays it is the same, looking at the sad look of the Tian family patriarch, Ji Zhenglin also knew that there was no oil and water to be squeezed in Tianjiazhuang, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the Tian patriarch can pay this levy on time and in full, after I go back, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the mayor, it is getting late today, I won't leave, tomorrow you send a few qi refining monks to return to Jinjiling Town with me, so as not to have an accident on the road." ”
