Chapter 61: Secret
The monk seemed to sense something, and when everyone gathered around the pit, it suddenly opened its eyes, and its dusty face was full of exhaustion and weakness.
Feng Qingtian saw it open its eyes, his expression did not change much, and he slashed it with a sword without hesitation.
Chu Hao stood beside him with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm.
Although he had the idea of saving him in his heart and letting him kill the demons in the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu, he would not make enemies with Feng Qingtian, Yan Chixia and the others because of a plan that he didn't know if it was feasible.
Moreover, the people who died under the rubble, although it was not killed by its own hands, but it died under the battle between it and the ghost king Nine-Tailed Fox.
After all, it can't escape from it.
Seeing that Chu Hao was not ready to open his mouth to save it, Pushan saw that the sword blade was about to fall on his neck, and suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Wait...... Wait a minute. ”
Feng Qingtian's long sword stopped, and said coldly, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Pushan looked at Chu Hao, who was expressionless, and said almost pleadingly: "Emperor, Emperor...... The poor monks are willing to chant sutras and pray for those who have died, and personally go to the underworld to send them to reincarnation, and they will also devote themselves to ...... Devoted to the Great Cadre ...... Loyal to you, only ...... I just ask the emperor to give the poor monk a chance to buy his life. ”
Feng Qing Tianxia subconsciously looked sideways at Chu Hao, waiting for his decision.
Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye also looked sideways at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao was silent for a long time, and asked in a cold voice, "Buy your life?" ”
When Pushan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, like a person in the water grasping a straw, and said urgently: "Poor monk...... The poor monk is willing to buy his life with 300 million taels of silver! ”
After Zhiqiu Yiye heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Three hundred million taels of silver? Are you so rich and call yourself a poor monk? ”
Even Yan Chixia's face changed.
When he traveled the world in his early years, he heard that the annual tax of the Xun Dynasty was only 10 million taels.
Doesn't this mean that this demon monk actually gave away the thirty years of taxes of the Xun Dynasty at once?
Chu Hao's lips pursed tightly.
He knew that this monk was rich, but he didn't expect it to be able to take out 300 million taels of silver!
You must know that he turned over the entire Jinling City, and it was only more than 75 million.
And this money is almost the wealth accumulated by those officials and tycoons in the past few lifetimes.
When he was still the crown prince, the annual tax of Daqian was only more than 6 million taels.
Feng Qingtian suddenly spoke: "Kill you, and we will also get these silver taels!" ”
Pushan smiled weakly and said, "These silver...... Already, the hands and feet that have been melted into corpses by the poor monk are like a corpse, if the poor monk is killed, the silver two will also be wiped out with the soul of the poor monk. ”
When it finished speaking, Yan Chixia opened her mouth and asked, "The annual tax of the Xun Dynasty is only 10 million taels of silver, how can you have so many taels of silver?" ”
Chu Hao also wanted to know this question.
Although Pushan looted a lot of silver taels in Lishui County under the pretext of protecting believers, Lishui County is so big and the population is not large, even if it loots for three hundred years, it will not get 100 million taels of silver.
In addition, Chu Hao had a doubt in his heart.
Tonight, the old demon of Montenegro, the ghost king of the nine-tailed fox, and the monk Pushan turned several streets in Jinhua County into ruins, which attracted the Taoist priests of the Shenxiao faction.
So, how did Jinling City, which has a population of one million, be destroyed by Pudu Cihang?
Where were the Taoist priests of the Shenxiao Sect at that time?
You must know that Jinling City has no traces of being struck by lightning.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Pushan smiled weakly and said: "In the past, the poor monk was a great teacher who left the country. But a year ago, the Great Separation was destroyed, and the people of the whole country were put into Yuzhou Ding by the Zhu Yan, the royal family was detained in the underground by the old demon of Montenegro, and the treasury was swallowed up by the Ten Thousand Demon Country.
The poor monks can only come to the territory of Daqian, and on the way here, the poor monks have found out the wealth of the people and rich businessmen in Dali from all over the country......
"Originally, there were a total of 480 million taels of silver, but the poor monk gave 200 million taels of silver to Pudu Cihang in exchange for the poor monk settling down in Wuxiang Mountain."
"As for why it is 300 million taels instead of 280 million taels, it is because the poor monk obtained a total value of about 20 million taels of silver from the believers at the cost of guarding Lishui County."
After he spoke, Chu Hao nodded lightly.
"Yes, I agree with you to buy your life for 300 million taels of silver...... However, I also have two questions for you! ”
Pushan has been talking for a long time, and the strength in his body has recovered.
Under Feng Qingtian's long sword, it slowly sat up, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please ask." ”
Chu Hao said in a deep voice: "The first question, there is an old man who sets up a tea stall outside Lishui County, he once told me that there is a demon Buddha on Wuxiang Mountain, and every three months he will order the people of Lishui County to sacrifice boys and girls to go up the mountain to listen to the Fa, and these boys and girls only see the mountain up the mountain but not down the mountain. ”
"Come to think of it, this demon Buddha is you, right?"
Pushan nodded lightly and said: "In fact, if the poor monk wants to become a Buddha, in addition to the need to cast a golden body dharma, he also needs to have three thousand pious Buddhas chanting and praying for the poor monk."
It's just that...... It's hard to get adults to believe in Buddhahood, and they have too many distractions in their hearts. So the poor monks cultivated boys and girls, but the way of the world is like this, even with the protection of the poor monks, the people of Lishui County only have a population of more than 76,000...... The number of boys and girls was only four hundred. ”
Chu Hao's expression eased slightly after hearing this, no matter what, those people were not dead.
He nodded lightly and continued to ask: "Tonight, you caused several streets in Jinhua County to fall into ruins, and you attracted Taoist priests from the Shenxiao Sect, so why are you still alive after Pudu Cihang killed millions of people in the entire Jinling City?" ”
Pushan smiled weakly and said, "The people of Jinling City are not dead......
Chu Hao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was surprised: "No death light? How is this possible? I saw corpses strewn all over the city......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly reacted.
"The number of corpses is not ......"
Pushan nodded lightly and said, "There are only tens of thousands of corpses in Jinling City, but these people were not killed by Pudu Cihang, but by others. ”
Chu Hao's heart sank after hearing this.
Pushan opened his mouth and said: "Actually, the goal of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and many demons in the world from the beginning was to do a great job, not a big departure. ”
"Because Dali occupies the land south of the Yangtze River, even if the world is like this, the people are still rich."
"It's just that Daqian has Pudu Cihang in charge, and they can't invade directly, because that is undoubtedly snatching food from Pudu Cihang's mouth."
"Pudu Cihang is different from the poor monk, it has been a great demon in the Yuan God Stage thousands of years ago, and its strength is extremely terrifying. If it is not necessary, no demon will oppose it. ”
"Besides, the fortunes of the great cadres and the country are prosperous, and rash action will only cause heavy losses."
"Therefore, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom persuaded Pudu Cihang at the cost of the national fortune of Dali."
"The specific content is not clear to the poor monk, but he only knows that soon after, the ghost king nine-tailed fox sent dozens of fox ghosts to settle in the Daqian Palace."
"The Emperor and Empress of Daqian, as well as more than a thousand harem concubines, were all killed by the little demons from all walks of life, and then the little demons were sent by Pudu Cihang to put on their human skins and continue to maintain the operation of the imperial city."
"At the same time, it detained some officials of Daqian and began to study how to forcibly refine the national fortune, during which the fox ghost will detain you."
"The crown princess took a few months to fake her death and escape, and took a lot of great Qianjanissaries and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Xun Dynasty to escort away the millions of people in Yingtianfu, and anyone who resisted during the period would be killed."
"The corpses you see were killed by the Great Janissaries and elite soldiers from the Xun Dynasty."
"Instead of ...... Purdue Cihang. ”
