Chapter 45: It Never Happened

"The king called me...... Come and clean up, phew, these damn loaches are breaking me every day shouting slogans! Outside Qiu Ping's temple, the right pincer of a red-shelled crab clutches a scraper, powerlessly cleaning the moss from the ground and walls.

Since the crab was really not suitable for burrowing, the loaches refused to take him with them when they went out to burrow again.

But there were no idle fish in the ancient well, so Qiu Yi arranged for him to clean the temple.

"One day, when I succeed in my cultivation, I must reduce these loaches to slaves and work for me every day. Especially the lead one, let him wipe my ass and carry the urinal. The crab picked up a patch of moss from the ground with a shovel, and thought viciously to himself.

"Anyway, that big loach is stuffy in the temple every day and doesn't know what to do, and he is not bored...... Hey, why didn't you close today? ”

The crab walked to the gate of the temple, and was about to scrape the gate as usual, but when he saw that the gate was hidden, his heart immediately swelled with curiosity.

He crept down in front of the door, peering through the half-open crack.

In his sight, the ground of the temple was full of various spiritual ores and elixirs, and a huge flag was planted between the piles of spiritual ores, fluttering.

And it's amazing that there is no one around.

"Hahaha, the sea flag, my sea flag!" The crab rushed sideways, holding its own sea flag, touching and kissing.

"Little loach, no matter how cunning you are, there will always be a time to relax. These spiritual mines and elixirs are all mine! He picked up the ore all over the ground, and his face hidden in the shadows showed a hint of sinisterness.

"Oh, there's another exercise here, I'll take a look...... Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be the "Returning to the Dragon True Scripture" that can only be practiced by the true dragon clan of the East China Sea, so good, I heard that there is also a trace of dragon blood in my blood, as long as the practice is nine turns, it may not be impossible to become the first true dragon of my crab clan. He rummaged through a pile of ore, but found an exercise underneath, and his eyes almost popped out.

"With these resources, as well as this exercise, I am going to rise!" The crab is full of pride in his heart, and he only feels that he is the son of the avenue, and the future is smooth.

"Hey, hey, stinky loach, you wait, let Grandpa Crab and I sweep the floor and drill holes, it's already the way to die......" He held the sea flag with one pincer and the "Guilong True Scripture" with the other, with a sneer on his face.

He was laughing, and suddenly his body shook.

"Hey, this is an earthquake? …… Not good, run! He only felt that the shaking was getting more and more violent, and everything around him began to shatter, and occasionally the shadow of a pesky loach could be seen in the broken scene.

"Hey, wake up, what are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?" The crab shook his head vigorously, but found that an ugly fishman with five big and three thick was standing in front of him, but it was Qiu Yi.

And he was still lying at the door of the temple at the moment, one plier grasping the shovel and the other holding the dustpan, with a smirk on his face.

"Where is my sea flag? What about my "Returning to the Dragon Sutra"? He looked blankly at his double pincers, where was the opportunity he had just gotten?

"You return my flag, you return my exercises, I'll fight with you!" The crab was furious and wanted to fight with Qiu Yi, but was slapped on the ground with a slap.

"Wow......" The crab sat on the ground in a daze, and cried loudly, the voice was terrible, the listener was sad, and the listener wept.

Qiu Yi looked at his hands in a daze, he didn't use any strength, why did this baby cry so loudly.

And Qiu Ping, the initiator of all this, slowly dissipated the eclipse in his eyes, and the smile on the crab's face successfully transferred to his face.

Not bad, it is worthy of the supernatural power passed down from his ancestors, which can not only improve his mental strength, but also has a very strong hallucinogenic ability, which is a great supplement to his strength.

Everything the red-shelled crab saw just now was just an illusion generated by Qiu Ping's "Sky Sea Eclipse Moon Mantra".

……

"Huhuhu."

Qiu Ping soared in mid-air, and between opening his mouth and swallowing, a large amount of water vapor settled deep into the earth, and the humidity of the entire Huangao Village was maintained at a very low level.

After stepping into the realm of [Ancestral Aperture], his strength soared, and his Taoism approached three hundred years.

In this way, it is easier for him to mobilize water and gas.

What used to take three or four hours can now be done in one hour.

The sun in late autumn and early winter is not blazing, but it has a warm texture like a marshmallow.

The people in the village poured the grain on the threshing floor, turning over and over the rice all over the ground, and the soft sunlight also stained the grain with a bit of fragrance and sweetness.

At this moment, the mountains are golden, the earth is golden, and the sky is also golden.

Huang'ao Village is immersed in the joy of harvest.

This year's output is slightly higher than last year's, and each household has received three or five buckets more. For the farmers, this is a great event.

One by one, they looked at the rice all over the ground with a smile, groping with their rough palms from time to time, occasionally peeling off a grain of rice, and throwing it into their mouths.

The mixture of astringency and rice flavor makes their hearts satisfied.

What is the Peaceful Age? If you can eat food, it is a peaceful day.

"Our task this year can be regarded as complete, Qiu Ping, you have worked hard this year." The land lord didn't know when he appeared next to Qiu Ping, he looked at the rice all over the ground with a smile, and couldn't help stroking his beard.

This year's harvest is a bumper harvest, and their Shinto rating this year is afraid that they will be able to mix one of them.

"Jingle bells."

Towards noon, a series of crisp bells rang, but I saw several people leading mules and horses from outside the village.

The sound was made by the bell around the neck of the mule and horse.

"The lord who collects the grain is here, everyone has prepared their own grain, don't delay the hour." The village was gathering everyone to the threshing floor and shouting.

"What is this doing?" Qiu Ping looked at all this below curiously.

It is rare to see outsiders in Huangao Village, but after these people came, the atmosphere in the village was obviously a little wrong.

The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly dropped a lot.

"The wealthy families in the city and the yamen have come to collect grain, and the fields in this Huangao village belong to the wealthy families in the city, and the people living in the village are just tenants. Half of the grain grown each year will be given to the wealthy and the yamen. "I don't know how many times I've seen this kind of thing, so I've long been surprised.

"To pay so much?" Qiu Ping was taken aback, the farmers had worked hard for half a year's harvest, but they could only leave half of it?

"This is common sense, if it is a good land, it is also common for wealthy households to divide sixty percent." The land lord felt that Qiu Ping was making a fuss, and it has been like this since ancient times.
