Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 166 The People Are Suffering
When Li Xuandu and Yan Feiqing went down the mountain, the sect elders of Jingzi Town had already taken the people in the town to guard the intersection of the mountain, looking forward to it.
When everyone saw the figures of the two, they immediately greeted them, and the elder of the sect said with a slight tremor in his voice, "Dare to ask the two immortal masters, the demon and the demon, but they have been removed?"
Yan Feiqing told the truth, "It's not a demon, it's a demon who cultivates evil arts, and he hasn't got rid of it, but just drove it away." But don't worry, this person is just here for Niu Er, and now that Niu Er is dead, the town should be fine. ”
The sect elder still had a worried face, and Li Xuandu also opened his mouth to comfort, "That person is proud of his identity as a grandmaster, even if he holds a grudge, he also holds a grudge against the two of us, and he doesn't have to worry about taking revenge on the town again." ”
Seeing that both of them said so, Sect Elder was a little relieved and hurriedly invited the two to return to the town.
When he came to the town, Yan Feiqing took out Niu Er's body from the "Qiankun bag", and at the same time there were more than a dozen ingots of snowflake official silver that Niu Er was holding in his arms.
Yan Feiqing handed over Niu Er's corpse to Zong Lao, and instructed Zong Lao to incinerate Niu Er's body with peach wood, Zong Lao didn't dare to disturb more, and led the villagers to cut down a few peach trees outside the town according to the method taught by the immortal master, and set up a firewood pile on the spot, so that Niu Er's corpse would be burned.
After there were only five people left here, Shen Shuangmei squatted down and counted the silver, a total of twelve ingots, one ingot of silver is twenty taels, and twelve ingots are two hundred and forty taels of silver, for ordinary people's families, it may be a lot of silver, enough to buy a house, but for the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau with an annual income of more than 10 million taels of silver, it is nothing, even if the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is put aside, just Jingzhou City Bosi, will not put this two hundred and forty taels of silver in his eyes.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you can use these two hundred and forty taels of silver to make some articles, the Weaving Bureau and the Municipal Department can just put out a scapegoat and suppress this matter, far from the cabinet's intention to shake the government and the opposition through this matter.
In the final analysis, there is still too little stolen silver, which is also the reason why the people in the six doors often do not arrest them immediately, but put a long line to catch big fish, otherwise the crime is too small to be put to death with one blow, and the enemy is made in vain. It's just that in this way, in the process of putting the long line forward, those people will be greedy for ink, and they will suffer the people.
It's just that in the past 20 years, the treasury has been empty, the northern imperial golden tent, the southern resistance to the Great Zhou, for the sake of military affairs, the people have to suffer. Famines, floods, droughts, and locust plagues in the state capitals will also suffer the people, and the people will inevitably suffer too much.
But then again, if you don't do this, you won't be able to eliminate evil, and in the end, it will be the people who suffer. It is in response to the poet's words, "Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer." ”
Yan Feiqing pointed to these silver ingots and said, "Originally, there was a spell set by the old man on it, but it has been broken by the poor road. ”
Shen Shuangmei thought for a while, took out a piece of white cloth from the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" around his waist, wrapped the silver briefly, and put it into his Sumeru treasure.
It was only at this time that Hu Liang opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Li, what the hell is going on?"
Regarding the matter of good and evil, Shen Shuangmei, as a person in the court, has not personally participated in it, and may not be deeply touched, and can only understand through the official document file, but Hu Liang is not, after all, he was born in the Mending Heaven Sect among the five sects in Liaodong, and Hu Liang has also personally participated in the dispute between good and evil, and it is precisely because of his deep participation that he will leave the Mending Heaven Sect and become a scattered person. The truth is that there are too many pickled things, don't expect anything out of the mud and not stained, as long as you are in it, which is not a chess piece in the game?
Li Xuandu thought about it for a while, and said concisely, "It's the Tibetan old man of the Soap Pavilion Sect." ”
Hu Liang was taken aback and asked, "But that old Tibetan man who ranks fourth on the Taixuan List?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "It's this person, fortunately, this person failed to show up because of the sacrificial alchemy, but only fought with the incarnation, thanks to Brother Xuanji, this battle is thrilling." ”
Yan Feiqing said, "Brother Zifu has a good reputation, if there is no Brother Zifu to help, Poor Dao is not this person's opponent." ”
Li Xuandu smiled, felt that there was a gaze, turned his head to look, and just saw the little girl's pair of watery eyes, and faintly saw a faint color of colorful glass.
Yan Feiqing also saw this scene, and said in surprise, "It is actually the 'Tianyantong' of the Buddhist family, it is really a good opportunity, a good root, and a good qualification." ”
Zhou Shuning looked at Yan Feiqing, in her eyes, it was completely different from her brother, if her brother's qi flow was the scene of the double dragon playing with pearls, then the qi in the body of this Yan Zhangjiao was like a lifelike painting, countless flames formed a huge lake, like Yun Mengze recorded in ancient books, in the sky above the lake, there were countless cranes fluttering their wings and flying, and countless flowing fires were sprinkled between the wings and waves, falling on the surface of the lake, like a rain of fire, stirring up countless ripples.
The sky and the earth are fiery red, flames, still flames, pure to the extreme, no half of the cold.
Is this what my brother said about entering the Tao with pure yang?
Li Xuandu is not too evasive, "It is the Jing Zen Sect's 'sitting and forgetting Zen Gong', speaking of which, when I was in the Great Cheng'en Temple, I had a relationship with the Su Fairy of Cihang Sect, let's just talk about one or two, afterwards I used 'Sitting and Forgetting Zen Gong' for Cihang Zong's 'Thousand Swords Guanyin', if Su Fairy also practiced 'Sitting and Forgetting Zen Gong', then she should also have one of the six magical powers, but I don't know which magical power." ”
But he didn't know it. Yan Feiqing shook his head and said, "Since the farewell of the imperial capital, Poor Dao has exchanged letters with her, but they have not met yet. ”
Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that the wedding date of the two of you is approaching, but I didn't expect you to be so polite, you never met before marriage, which really makes people don't know how to evaluate it." ”
Yan Feiqing said helplessly: "It's just a Taoist couple, and it's not the same thing to marry men and women in the world." ”
Li Xuandu said with a slight urge, "Then what's going on?"
Yan Feiqing smiled angrily, "Although Poor Dao still uses a common family name, he is a monk, how do you know what it is like to get married." ”
Li Xuandu spread his hands, "Have any of us ever been married?"
Shen Shuangmei hugged the little girl, the two women, one big and one small, stared innocently, and Hu Liang coughed lightly with a little embarrassment, saying that the man should marry and the woman should get married, according to age, the eldest Hu Liang has not yet married, and it is indeed a little too much.
Yan Feiqing sighed lightly, "It's not a secret, Poor Dao himself didn't think about it, but the world often said that the life of the parents is the words of the matchmaker, the family teacher has a life, and the poor Dao, who is a disciple, also has to obey." In the first year of Tianbao, the family teacher went to Cihang Sect, ostensibly to borrow Cihang Sect's "Cihang Pudu Buddhist Scriptures" for a long life, but in fact, he agreed with the sect master of Cihang Sect on this matter. ”
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Since ancient times, the alliance between the two sides is nothing more than a few means, either to form an alliance of brothers, or to form a good relationship between two surnames, the old master is a lot older, let his old man and the sect master of Cihang Sect form brothers and sisters, it is too unrealistic, it just so happens that Brother Xuanji and Fairy Su should marry the male and female marry, and it is reasonable to form an in-law, I don't know when the ceremony will be held? ”
Yan Feiqing smiled bitterly and said, "The date is set for June next year, just before the Dao Ceremony, in the words of several senior brothers, it can be regarded as double happiness." ”
At this moment, there was green smoke rising outside the village, and after a short time, a villager staggered over, knelt down in front of the group, and said urgently, "Woe, woe, the elder of the sect asked the villain to invite, invite the immortals, and the immortal master to come over." ”
Yan Feiqing's face changed, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
By the time Li Xuandu and his party came to the outside of the village, Yan Feiqing had already come here one step in advance, and his face was solemn.
I saw that the people of the town had already set up a pyre according to Yan Feiqing's instructions, intending to burn Niu Er's body, but the flames that ignited were not normal red, but a green color.
