Volume 1: The New Taxman of the Order: Chapter 20: The Uninvited Guest
There is a small pavilion on the top of the mountain, called Guanhai Pavilion, from here you can overlook the big white sea, the scenery is excellent.
The eldest grandson Hong and Cheng Sha leisurely drink tea and enjoy the scenery here, and it is rare for the two to have such a leisurely moment.
"By the way, the door master, last time Tianbao mentioned the situation of Brother Zhao Wuji, I talked to Brother Zhao Dao a few times, but Brother Zhao Dao didn't say anything, and he may have to live here for a while."
"But Brother Zhao Dao messes with his wives and concubines every day, and he probably won't take the initiative to make trouble."
Eldest Sun Hong was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "This Brother Zhao Dao is really a wonderful person, he has little life, and he will not delay his pleasure for a moment. ”
At the moment of the Great War against the Crane True Gate, they all saw the realm of Zao Wou-Ki, the Nine Rank Qi Refiner, his life was coming to an end, and it was not a problem for a person to die.
The two tacitly accepted this topic, and turned to talk about some things they had seen and heard, and current affairs.
The breeze blows over the hills, watching the sky and white clouds, chatting about major events, tasting fragrant tea, and being leisurely.
Just when he was comfortable, he suddenly received a summons from the doorman, and the eldest grandson's expression was uncertain.
"Door master, could it be that all the real people have arrived?"
"No, it's the Monk Taxman Min Chang who has arrived." Eldest Sun Hong frowned.
The Monk Taxman has arrived? Yuan Shuimen did steal two or three hundred thousand spirit stone taxes this year, but it was a small number of the various mountain gates in Donghai County, how did he find his head? But tax evasion is a felony, and he is really a little flustered in his heart.
"I'll go meet you."
The disciples of the mountain gate were taking Min Chang, a tax collector of the monastic order, up the mountain, and it was a little strange that he did not bring his entourage, but came alone.
Changsun Hong and Cheng Sha hurriedly greeted them warmly.
"It's rare for an adult to patronize our door, please allow me to set up a banquet and wine to welcome you."
Min Chang shook his beard and said with a smile: "Don't panic, you two, I'm here to find Zao Wou-Ki!" ”
Eldest Sun Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that the debt collector was looking for the one next door, but fortunately, he was a little sympathetic to Zao Wou-ki, the mountain gate was taken away by the disciples, and the taxes of the mountain and sea gate still fell on his head? It's really unlucky.
"Well said, well said. The two of us will show you the way. ”
The main and deputy gate owners hugged Min Chang to go to the back mountain, and Qiuyue greeted him at the door.
Waiting for the eldest Sun Hong and the others to retreat, Qiu Yue led Min Chang into the house, and Zao Wou-Ki ran over.
"Brother Dao, your two old brothers are almost here, right?" Min Chang asked.
"Everything is going according to plan, and the time will come." Zao Wou-Ki said.
"That's good, that's good."
"Min Daoyou, don't worry, hahaha!"
The two laughed and sat down.
Qiu Yue was surprised, the two of them talked and behaved very casually, completely different from meeting at the Jiye Point, unlike the relationship between the government and the people, but like old friends for many years.
"Qiuyue poured a cup of tea."
Zao Wou-Ki then flicked his fingers and set up an isolation cover, and Qiu Yue could no longer hear anything.
After talking for an hour, Min Chang said goodbye and left, and Sun Hong, the former head of the water gate, hurriedly plugged the plug, sent the send, and sent it outside the mountain gate diligently.
After Min Chang left, Zao Wou-Ki was in a very good mood, and it was extremely rare to move a bamboo reclining chair and place it under the trees on the mountain to enjoy the cool and enjoy the mountain scenery.
Qiu Yue saw that he was in a good mood, and also moved a small bamboo bench to sit next to him.
"Qiu Yue, what did he say to you when you met your senior brother?" Zao Wou-Ki chattered.
"He said that the master is greedy for pleasure and does not want to make progress, and everyone who harms has no future." Qiu Yue hesitated, but still told the truth.
"Huangkou Ruzi, I don't know what to do, what kind of progress he talks about, everything he does is looking for death."
Qiu Yue fanned Zhao Wuji with a pu fan and said, "Is the master going to go back to the mountain gate?" ”
"No, I'm not going to make a move."
Qiu Yue was a little puzzled, how could she find death if she didn't make a move?
"The cultivation world is so chaotic today, there are always people who beat him." Zao Wou-Ki said vaguely.
"By the way, Master, why is there such chaos in the cultivation world today? Wasn't that the case before? ”
She is fifteen years old this year, and she has fought more than a dozen big battles, and she is used to them.
"Well, that's a long story."
Zao Wou-Ki was in a very good mood today, and he talked eloquently, and actually told a piece of the history of the Black Rock Continent, the famous Battle of the Silver Sand Realm.
Two hundred years ago, the largest spiritual stone mine in the Black Rock Continent was located in the Silver Sand Realm, fifty years ago, the Silver Sand Realm belonged to the Black Rock Continent Xiqi, West Qin, West Chen, Nanshu, Beiwei, Central Plains Zhao, Central Plains Chu Seven Kingdoms jointly managed, jointly enjoy the right to mine the spirit stone, each share of the history is fixed, and later Xichen, Beiwei, and Zhongchu appeared in the monk Hongtian Master everywhere, vigorously promote the cultivation of the Tao, many mortals joined the monastic world, and later there was the Narong clan again to add fuel to the fire, and the monasticism in these three countries again leaps and bounds, Almost every household has a situation where there are cultivators, so a problem soon arises, that is, the cultivation resources are not enough, and the cultivation is the most resource-consuming, and they are all rare resources, and they are all rare resources, and they are gone, so that the three kingdoms of Xichen, Beiwei, and Zhongchu jointly proposed to re-divide the Yinsha Realm Spirit Stone Mine according to the population of the cultivators, and the other four families disagreed, and several negotiations failed, and a monastic war broke out, because there were many cultivators in the three kingdoms of Xichen, Beiwei, and Zhongchu, and the attack went very smoothly at first, and it can even be described as overwhelming. Soon, the other four countries of the cultivation forces were compressed in one-third of the Silver Sand Realm, at this time, the Great Monk Rong Kong of the Four Kingdoms made a move, and the battle of the Great Monk broke out, and the ordinary Qi Refiners under the Great Monk were all ants, and there were many low-level Qi Refiners in the Three Kingdoms, all of whom were not enemies of the people, and there were countless ashes in an instant, and finally the Three Kingdoms were completely defeated, and promised to give up all the mining rights of the Silver Sand Realm, only to finally exchange for peace.
"But in this way, without the spirit stone of the Silver Sand Realm, the domestic resources of the Three Kingdoms will not be enough, and the main domestic resources will be occupied by the royal family, and there will be even fewer left, and the various immortal sects in Xichen will begin to fight with each other, such battles are endless, and a large number of people in the monastic world have died, which is really miserable, and then under the leadership of the great monk Wuyue of Xichen, the monastery was established to avoid killing as much as possible, and the monastic society, as a power institution, not only came forward to coordinate the battles of the various mountain gates, but also coordinated and cooperated with the royal family, and the power became bigger and bigger, The result is ridiculous, the monastic society itself has more and more resources, then the resources of the remaining sects are even less, and the battles between the various sects are even more intense. ”
"Master, no wonder someone attacked us at both ends in the past three days." Qiu Yue said with wide eyes.
"Shanhaimen is a small and medium-sized sect, many people covet it, and if you are not careful, you will be destroyed."
"Your senior brother wants to be enterprising and thinks very well, but this kind of too stupid and shallow tossing is harmful and useless, and he will eventually realize that he is the biggest fool, and now he has lost the opportunity." Zao Wou-Ki said with a complicated expression.
In fact, the traitor completely lost the opportunity, and the royal family and the monastic society borrowed Dong Sheng's hand to promote the double program to protect the way, and both loyalty to the monarch and patriotism and loyalty to the teacher were equally important. Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the need of the emperor, the foundation of royal power, whoever dares to challenge this article will inevitably be strangled by the royal family, loyalty to the teacher is the monastic society and many big people in the kingdom, most of them are master and apprentice relationship, traitor means to challenge these big people, if these big people want to maintain the stability of power, they must be strictly and quickly strangled any traitorous behavior.
"I don't have much interest in your senior brother and I must kill him, but if I don't kill him, the royal family and the monastic society will not tolerate him, because what he is doing is challenging the royal power and the Taoist power, slapping them in the face, cough, ask for more blessings."
"So Lord Min of the Cultivator's Order is here for the sake of Senior Brother?" Qiu Yue listened to so much in one breath, still digesting it, and spoke.
"That's not it, the arrival of the cultivator Min Chang has nothing to do with the boss, don't talk about this."
Zao Wou-Ki's eyes were closed, and his expression was leisurely.
Indeed, he never talked about this, and today he was in a good mood and said so much in one breath, which is an exception.
