Chapter 330: Monsters become gods
Beihai County is located in Linqu City.
Yan Nu suppressed his breath, retracted Ryoma, and walked towards the city gate with his spear on his back.
I saw the Zhuangzi outside the city gate, rice seedlings everywhere, and the water and soil were abundant.
Since the demise of the Bald Clan, the haze that was originally destroyed by Hu Barbarian has been swept away.
People come and go on the main road, the river is endless, and the commercial circulation has been restored, and it is very prosperous.
As for the catastrophe of the demon country, it has not affected here, all Qingzhou is making monsters, but it is like a paradise here.
The gate of the city is even more busy, and the people are carrying large bags and small carts, transporting grain and rural goods, which seem to be sold in the city, which shows that the output of peasant weavers is not small.
But wherever Yan Nu passed, he saw that the people were still yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged.
Could it be that when food is so rich, there is still not enough to eat?
"There is a garden next to the Thorn Mansion, and as far as I know, the Golden Horn is in that garden......" Zhu Jingang said in a low voice.
Yan Nu looked at the center of the city, where there was indeed a large garden, and many laborers were bent over, transporting materials and carrying decorations under the supervision of warriors.
Obviously, the garden is not yet built, but it is already extremely luxurious and magnificent.
Everyone takes a closer look at the garden, the pavilion is elegant, the carved dragon is painted, the clear water is shining, the flowers are like brocade, compared to the mansion of the Zhang family in Huaxian County, I don't know how much luxury.
"I can't sense the cave you said at all." Several immortals were at a loss, they knew that the Golden Horn Demon was here, but they couldn't find it.
I know that the cave is hidden in the garden, but I don't know how to open it.
"Well, let's go into the city first." Zhang Bijiang said.
Yan Nu led the way into the city, and only a group of soldiers and military attachΓ©s intercepted and collected taxes at the city gate.
In addition to the poll tax, there is also a kind of 'drama tax'.
"What's this?" Yan Nu was puzzled.
The soldier said disdainfully: "I don't know how to help the play? This is the way of the ancient Holy Ancestor Fuxi, which is the law to protect the country and protect the people! β
Good guy, when you open your mouth, it is the Holy Ancestor Fuxi, who instantly suppressed Yan Nu and even several immortals.
However, Huang Banyun traveled to the rivers and lakes in the past, and once served as an official at the bottom, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But what about the purification ceremony? β
"Every year on the day of Shangsi, the sacrifice is held on the water's edge, washing and removing dirt, and eliminating the ominous 'sacrifice to eliminate evil'?"
The soldier bowed his head: "It's good that you know, but now is not a festival every year. β
"Qingzhou is full of monsters, our Linqu City, but the monsters dare not step into an inch of land, do you know why?"
"Just because Lord Assassin Shi has improved the method of sacrificing to the gods, also known as helping Luan to invite immortals, you can ask the gods to come up according to the law, show people good luck, and pray for evil."
"The officials and celebrities in the city should do this way more, a small sacrifice in three days, and a big sacrifice in seven days, so as to bless the water and soil of one side, so that the demons will not exist, and the country will be afraid of the people."
"As soon as you enter this city, you will be blessed by the Tai Sui God and benefit a lot, thanks to the skill of Lord Assassin Shi to help the play, and the ceremony of supporting the play is very costly, of course, you have to pay taxes."
Everyone finally understood that the officials and scholars in this city actually ruled the country with metaphysics.
Yan Nu didn't react yet, but Yu Yanzi sneered: "Literati officials, who don't have knowledge or government affairs, are obsessed with sacrificing to the gods and helping Luan all day long, and abandon officials to govern the people's livelihood." β
"Dare to set up a name and use it to collect taxes, which is simply a big joke in the world."
Hearing this, the Yan slave said, "Huh? This thing is useless, huh? β
Yu Yangzi said firmly: "If you pray for blessings, ask for good weather and clear the epidemic, maybe it will be a little useful, depending on the conscience of the gods." β
"But asking God to come up, it's nonsense, since the Jedi Heavenly Pass, the righteous god can't easily go down to earth, let alone attach it to mortals, this will be punished by heaven."
However, his words caused a lot of soldiers to laugh.
Even some of the people panicked and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this old fisherman, how can the gods be punished by heaven?" β
"Fuju works, many people in the city have learned this method, just prepare a wooden plate filled with fine sand, insert a pen on it, and chant the Tai Sui spirit in the mouth, and hold the pen will write on the sand table uncontrollably."
"It is a divine revelation, which can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and ask for blessings and misfortunes."
"And in the past, there was no response to the gods, and there were countless disasters and famines, but now as long as you pay the tax and sacrifice to the gods by the officials, the Tai Sui God will often appear and bless the wind and rain here, and the harvest will be healthy, how dare you not pay taxes."
Yu Yangzi was stunned, of course he knew that the people were not lying, could this method really have an effect?
He immediately activated his supernatural powers, and soon learned about countless things in the city, and he couldn't help but look ugly.
"It's true...... How can it be? Could it be a loophole in Jedi Skypass? β
"This Tai Sui God, but the ones canonized by the First Emperor?"
"Damn, I'm already an anti-heavenly immortal, and the way of heaven won't help me open the door of the divine realm."
Yu Yangzi secretly said that he wanted to try to go to the god realm to ask.
But it's a pity that he can go to the god realm as he wanted before, and all the gods have to give face, but now he can't.
He, like Zhang Pijiang, has completely become an immortal supported by Yan Nu, which is certainly out of the control of the Heavenly Dao, even if the Heavenly Dao is gone, these immortals can still exist.
But there are also drawbacks, that is, some of the ability to compare identities is no longer effective.
The divine realm is no longer just going to go if you want to, and the gods will not give them face.
"What Tai Sui God? I don't believe it, you let him show up for me! Yan Nu shouted straightly.
Everyone laughed, yes, it doesn't matter if he's the real God or not, do they still care?
What kind of evil star is the Yan Slave Punishment Heaven? The gods and spirits are not about slaughter, but about the extermination of the race!
The three emperors and gods have all been sealed, and the Tai Sui god has a kind of truth coming to Xingtian!
But where did the soldiers know this?
Seeing Yan Nu's disrespectful words, he said angrily: "Dare to be disrespectful to God? β
"This place protected by the gods cannot be presumptuous."
"You will either pay taxes and enter the city, or get out, and then dare to make trouble and take you to prison!"
The soldier's voice was full of anger and majesty.
However, he was angry, and Yan Nu was even more angry: "Isn't it going to invite God? Call that God, and I will give it to Him myself!" β
In this way, the soldiers are stupid, and they dare to shout at God, but they can't find death?
But how can they ask God? and then oppress people with decrees.
"The drama tax is the assassination of Lord Shi's invitation to the imperial court, and it is for the national tax! Are you going to rebel? Take! β
Many soldiers drew their swords, so frightened that the people around them were trembling, and they persuaded one after another: "I see that you are well-dressed, and you are not short of this money, you must not resist taxes, otherwise there will really be a divine punishment." β
Yan Nu frowned and said, "Since this god blesses this place with good weather and good weather, why is everyone still yellow and thin?" β
The people were dumbfounded, and their expressions were bitter.
Although the wind and rain are smooth, the products are abundant, and there is not even the threat of demons, even Xiaoxiao is afraid of the gods and has good security, such a good place, it is simply envious of others to say it.
Many of them migrated from other nearby counties after hearing about the benefits here.
As the rumors have been, there is no trouble, the soil and water are abundant, and they work hard, and the output is several times greater than before.
However, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the conscription and taxation here are also extremely heavy.
The official sacrifices again and again, the Shilin wandering gods again and again, each time the battle is very large, and this is necessary for the protection of the gods, so the types of taxes and labor are innumerable, and there are many kinds of clever names.
In the end, they still have nothing, they are hungry and full, they have to work hard every day, build roads and bridges, smelt and weave, and suffer unspeakably.
The flowers that built this place are full of flowers, but they have nothing to do with it.
But in front of the soldiers, how dare the people say this?
He only said: "There are no demons here, there is no plague, and the bandits are extinct, so we don't have to worry about endangering our lives, it is a rare blessed land!" β
"How can you not know what to do, and still think that your face is shiny? If Tai Sui knew that we were so greedy, it would be a long life. β
"......" Yan Nu was stunned.
I saw that the people were close to each other, and the people looked frightened.
Yu Yangzi couldn't listen to it: "Joke! When do you want to eat enough, even if you don't know what to do? β
Yan Nu gritted his teeth, harsh and fierce as a tiger, he really experienced it. And the history of thorns here has the endorsement of the gods, and it can shelter one side of the water and soil, which is obviously even more arrogant.
What kind of heavy suppression can make the people feel that being alive is a blessed land.
The government may still be able to resist, and the gods add the government, then don't think about it at all. So much so that the people are a little too much of an idea, and they are afraid of losing their lives.
"What a joke!" Yan Nu suddenly grabbed the soldier: "It's the stabbing history again, right?" β
"More than half of the scourge in Qingzhou is caused by him, this person is immortal, and he is still blessed by the gods?"
"I'm going to get rid of him today."
As he spoke, Huang Banyun immediately showed a high-density military order beside him.
Slaughtered directly, that is a ranger's act, the name is not right, and now Gaomi has Miao Hanchi Qing in charge, and they still have to get the orthodox identity from Gou Xi.
Gou Xi is in charge of the Qingzhou military array, and if he gets some official status, Chi Qing will be able to take over all parts of Qingzhou justifiably.
Seeing the military order at this moment, the soldiers didn't dare to make a mistake, it was the general order of the Chang family's army.
"It turned out to be a general from Gao Milai, I'll wait...... Huh? You are a young general under the command of too much, and you dare to speak disrespectfully to Lord Assassin? Even if your family is too guarded, you can't be presumptuous! β
They were very confused, although the Chang family army dominated Qingzhou, it still had to be restrained in name.
Due to the slow spread of the news, they did not know that the Chang family had been replaced, and a group of people forcibly elected a six-pin scholar named Chi Qing to succeed him as Taishou.
"What are you doing here?"
At this moment, an ironclad general came from outside the city with a team of warriors and horses.
"The Fuju team has returned from Cailan outside the city, and we have been ordered to open the way, and the idlers and miscellaneous people have quickly retreated, blocking and slashing!"
The cavalry team shouted, their faces solemn.
The guards did not dare to stand there, driving the people to part ways like sheep, and some people avoided them, and were kicked and dragged by the soldiers.
The cavalry team did not stop for a moment, raised 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 of the family, dressed in gorgeous costumes, rode in a four-horse carriage, frolicking back.
They had a huge rank, thousands of servants, fanfare, swaggering, holding high banners of all colors, and all kinds of sacrificial ritual vessels.
There is even a statue of a god, dressed in a battle robe, holding a large sword, with majestic eyes and golden horns on his head.
"Among the Tai Sui gods, is there this one?" Yu Yangzi recalled.
Tai Sui God is in charge of the world's blessings and woes, a total of sixty, all of whom were canonized by the First Emperor.
All of them are loyal and good sages of the ancients, and there are some strange appearances, but I haven't heard of anyone with golden horns on their heads.
"This is the image of the youkai?" Xiu Yang Gong asked.
Zhu Jingang bowed his head and responded: "Yes, yes, yes." β
Zhang Pijiang said with a strange expression: "Huh? This monster actually steals incense from the world and wants to become a god! β
β¦β¦
:I'm sorry.
