In the remote Yongzhou, there is also a tax patrol!

In Yongzhou City, those monks suddenly became a little commotion. After a period of life-and-death struggle, some monk gangs have raised quite a lot of spirit stones, but there are also some monk gangs that have suffered heavy losses and lost both people and money.

Returning to the Pearl Tower to view the Snow Pavilion, Wuxu and Fairy Yu glanced at each other, and said slowly, "The collection and payment of spiritual taxes has always been the responsibility of each state government level by level. Although the deadline for paying taxes is approaching, Yongzhou belongs to Yanjing Prefecture, and now it has not received relevant notices from Yanjing Prefecture。。。。。 “

Cai Jing, who had an elegant face, smiled slightly, and only replied, "The new tax decree has been announced to the world, and now that the deadline is approaching, the Elders' House has sent us and others to inspect and supervise everywhere. After a pause, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and then continued to say softly, "Since the reform and reform of the law, the Yanjing Mansion has been completely taken down yesterday. Anyone who disobeys the order and does not pay the spiritual tax has been killed. ”

Everyone present was taken aback. How come there is no news at all about such a big thing?!

Enlightenment is also a sinking in my heart. These days, I prefer Yongzhou, doing this and that, but I can't imagine that there is another bloody storm outside.

"Lord Tax Inspector, Lord of the City, fellow Daoists, this palace has important matters, and you must go back immediately to deal with it, and I hope you will forgive me for the haste of it. Fairy Yu suddenly got up and said.

The Anti-Heaven Alliance returned to the Xianglou Zhang Chunqiu, and the strange pavilion of the Great Freedom Palace called Yanqing, and then they also got up and said goodbye.

They were obviously in a hurry to get back to deliver the news. The Great Zhou has 36 state capitals of all sizes and Yanjing Mansion

"You don't have to. "Cai Jing, sit there, stroke your beard and look around, "The Xuanyin change method is the consensus of the Great Zhou and the six major sects, and all the measures are agreed upon by the Elders' House and issued orders. The implication is that the six sects of the Demon Domain are also aware of this situation, and there is no need to report it.

Fairy Yu, Zhang Chunqiu, and Hu Yanqing stopped their bodies and sat down again. The head of the Xiao family, Su Ji and others, as well as the generals of the garrison, etc., also looked very dignified.

Everyone all looked at Cai Jing who looked unfathomable, but Cai Jing smiled and stared at Wuxu, "Yongzhou's spiritual tax collection, what is Master Wuxu's plan?"

Wu Xu's heart was like lightning, and he looked outside below, "Real monks, all of them are in the city, and as soon as the deadline is up, they will be levied." If it is Lord Cai, what are the orders, Wuxu should be an assistant. ”

When the new tax decree was promulgated, it only required that monks who were truly cultivated and above had to pay a spiritual tax, 1,000 spirit stones. Yes, Wu Xuan said.

Cai Jing looked at Zhang Cuilu and the others, smiling without saying a word.

Zhang Cuilu and others, now in the posture of the spirit body, have each cultivated into the mandala Dharma realm, according to the standards of the Buddhist practice system, they undoubtedly belong to real monks.

"Their spiritual tax, the little monk has already prepared. Wu said lightly.

These days, the preparation for the construction of the monastery, the return of the pearl building, and the renovation in Yongzhou City, coupled with Zhang Cuilu and other retreats, seventy-seven eighty-eight, spent a lot of spiritual stones, but Wuxu now does not have many spiritual stones. Of course, Wuxu still has some magic weapons, some of which were stolen from the previous Yi Hui and snatched from the casino. Wu Xuan secretly calculated, but it really didn't work, should he take one or two pieces out and use them as the spiritual tax of Zhang Cuilu and others.

"There's no hurry. Cai Jing nodded, and then looked at Fairy Yu and the others, "The spirit tax is levied, and all the real people and above monks under you are among them. ”

Fairy Yu first changed her face, "I, the Demon Sect monks, were ordered to preside over border trade and other matters in Yongzhou, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou, so does the tax inspector also want us to pay taxes to the Great Zhou?"

Cai Jing replied lightly, "The Great Zhou and the Six Sects, jointly change the law, and all the orders of the Elders' House and the Xuanyin Monks, don't dare to disobey." The tone was indifferent, but quite arrogant, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to everyone present at all.

"Pretend! Fox fake tiger might!" Hu Yanqing, who was in the Strange Pavilion of the Great Freedom Palace, suddenly roared angrily, and his figure turned into a series of clouds, flying towards Cai Jing.

Cai Jing, sitting there, seemed unaware and indifferent.

But I saw that the great array of city protectors flew out one after another, gathering around it from all directions, forming a circle of golden halos, completely blocking Hu Yanqing's attack. Then, Cai Jing, holding the token, raised his right hand and pointed forward slightly. In the halo, a golden dragon flew out, spun endlessly, and scattered all the attacking figures conjured up by Hu Yanqing.

Hu Yanqing, as if struck by lightning, the real body sitting there, crumbling, almost fell to the ground, "You can completely control the city protection array?!" Hu Yanqing's eyes showed a hint of horror.

In the Snow Viewing Pavilion, half of his eyes looked towards Wuxu. Wu Xuan secretly smiled bitterly, at this moment, he, the city lord of Yongzhou, seemed to have lost control of the Yongzhou City Protector Array.

"I also ask Master Wuxu to forgive me, Fang Cai, a fellow Taoist in the Great Freedom Palace, suddenly became difficult, and had to temporarily mobilize the city protection array as a tax inspector. Cai Jing saluted Wuxu.

Wuxu, with a serious expression, did not speak, only silently returned the salute.

The Yongzhou City Protector Array, which was arranged by the Great Zhou Dynasty, has been used by successive city lords for thousands of years to defend one side, and its power is naturally needless to say. But now it seems that after all, it is the arrangement of the Great Zhou court, and at the critical moment, it has become this situation. Cai Jing, the tax patrol envoy, was able to take control of the city protection array so easily, and it seemed that he could exert greater power.

Everyone present did not look good.

There was silence in the Snow Pavilion.

After a while, Fairy Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Since it is an order from the Elders' House, I will respect myself." With that, he immediately took out a storage ring and sent it to Cai Jing.

Zhang Chunqiu and Hu Yanqing, seeing this, also calmed down and took out a storage ring for themselves.

Xiao Jiadong, the head of the Xiao family, then also took out a storage ring with a smile.

Li Mingshan also took out a storage ring and paid the spiritual tax for Murong Yan beside him.

Is it my turn?? Wu was smiling as he was about to take out a magic weapon that he had snatched from the lord of the casino.

But I heard Cai Jing say, "Wait a moment. As soon as the words fell, the figure had already flown out. In front of the seat, those storage rings were not taken away.

I saw it standing in the void, and some lazy voices spread throughout Yongzhou City, "All monks who are real people and above who have cultivated to the realm of cultivation should come and pay the spiritual tax quickly." ”

After a few breaths, someone slowly flew forward and respectfully presented the storage ring.

Cai Jing was extremely serious, and his divine sense checked them one by one. Of course, no one dares to cheat.

"Honorable envoy Mingcha, junior Zhou Fan。。。。。。 A real monk, flying low, saluted.

"I can't afford to make up a thousand spiritual resources. Cai Jing said lightly, interrupting the man's speech.

"The younger generation is Feihong State。。。。。。 ”

The Great Zhou Feihongzhou, adjacent to Confucianism, many monks, and Confucianism are inextricably linked. This week, it is estimated that his family background has some relationship with Confucianism, and when he saw Cai Jing in a wide robe, the aura of a Confucian monk was undoubtedly revealed, so he wanted to set it up.

But I saw that Cai Jing flicked his sleeves, and Zhou Fan's voice stopped abruptly, and then the whole life was completely useless, and he fell straight down, and when he fell to the ground, he was already a pile of white bones.

There was also a real monk, who must have not gathered a thousand spirit stones, standing there trembling, not daring to fly up and talk, and of course not daring to run at all. In front of the True Spirit Monk, under the Great Protective Array, running is death.

Cai Jing glanced at this person coldly, didn't say anything, and flicked his sleeves again. Then, he turned around and returned to the Snow Pavilion.

Looking at the pile of storage rings in front of the seat, Cai Jing smiled at everyone present, "This envoy, I am ordered to inspect, the spirit stones obtained by Yongzhou are all here, and I ask you to be a witness." “

"Honorable envoy, it seems that there is something missing, right?" Hu Yanqing sneered, "The garrison is a general on the left and right, Fu Yidao and Murong Xue, it seems that they have not paid the spiritual tax, right?"

Not only did they pay a knife and Murong Xue, but Zhang Cuilu and others also did not pay the spiritual tax. How could Hu Yanqing not know. Satoru glanced at him faintly.

"I almost forgot. Cai Jing seemed to wake up like a dream, and looked towards Fu Yidao and Murong Xue with a smile.

Fu Yidao and Murong Xue looked at the extreme, and looked straight towards Wuxu. Tonight's banquet, it was supposed to be Wuxu to say goodbye to Bi Lanlan and others, and the two of them came to the banquet for the sake of Wuxu's face, but they never thought that an inspector would come and give birth to such a thing.

Wuxu's face was a little unbearable, and he was about to speak. Cai Jing secretly sent a message, "Master Wuxu don't be impatient, don't be provoked." “

"We belong to the army. The Spiritual Tax shall be a matter of its own Privy Council. Seeing that Wuxu didn't speak, Fu Yidao glanced at Murong Xue, and had to speak in a deep voice.

"Army, Privy Council?" Cai Jing smiled faintly when he heard this, "General Fu, do you think that the so-called thousands of troops and horses such as Er are worthy of a flick of a finger from the Great Monk Tongxuan?"

Fu Yidao, a little dazed, didn't seem to fully understand the meaning of Cai Jing's words, and after a while, he had to bite the bullet and replied, "There are also many monks in the army, from the bottom to the top, there are real people and true spirits. ”

"Confused!" Cai Jing snorted coldly, "Xuanyin reform and change the law, spiritual order, promotion order... Haven't you seen it one after another?"

Fu Yidao, Murong Xue, looked at each other again, and was even more dazed. Feeling Cai Jing's unfriendliness, or contempt for the army, the two of them gradually became grim.

Wu Xuan faintly understood, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, and seeing that the two of them looked grim, and even a little stubborn, he sighed secretly, and had to speak, "There is an order in the House of Elders, real monks must pay spiritual taxes, and the two Taoist friends must naturally be respected, even General Zeng is here, I'm afraid it's the same." You know, this is the monk's world. In the world of monks, the emphasis is on cultivation. Cultivating to the realm, how can it be compared to the strength of the army? Wouldn't you have heard what the inspector said, Ren Er and the other thousands of troops and horses are worthy of the flick of a finger of the great monk Tongxuan?"

Fu Yidao and Murong Xue, who were originally expecting Wuxu to come out and make peace, changed their expressions several times, and then they had to bow their heads, each took out a thousand spirit stones, and sent them to Cai Jingzuo.

It's just that he was still a little unwilling and unconvinced, and said to everyone present, "I've been waiting for a long time, and I have to return to the barracks to avoid any chaos." Then, he left on his own.

"I don't know how to lift!" Cai Jing sneered, "A real monk, relying on a skin, is actually a fox and a tiger!"

His voice didn't seem to be loud, as before, but it spread throughout Yongzhou City.

Fu Yidao and Murong Xue stopped their figures, turned around slowly, stared at Guanxue Pavilion, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, although you are a tax inspector, you can't humiliate my Great Zhou Sergeant like this!"

Voices, too, spread everywhere. Immediately, many sergeants responded to the clamor everywhere.

Hu Yanqing looked at Cai Jing obliquely, and said with bad intentions, "Although the envoy has been ordered by the superior, if it provokes a mutiny in the army, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate, right?"

Cai Jing ignored him at all, and only looked at Wuxu with a smile, "These sergeants, dragons and snakes are mixed, good and bad, they usually show off their might, and they are unruly, and the master is probably also very headache at ordinary times, right?"

Wu Xuan replied lightly, "Elder Brother Yuan, the sergeant, there is no bit of ruffianism, a bit of blood, when it is really used, I am afraid it will not be used." ”

Cai Jing shook slightly, and then smiled at Wu Xu's head, "The master has a heart." I don't know if there are juniors and subordinates in the army?"

Wuxu shook his head, but there was a wave in his heart. At the beginning of the world, Wuxu met a Confucian cultivator with a yin body like Li Bai, although he died because of his attachment to his mind, his divine consciousness did not disperse, and because Confucianism was popular in the world, he was worshiped by ordinary incense and did not fall into the ghost way. Wuxu also knew that Ma Linghua came down from the sky and used secret methods to collect a group of Confucian cultivators, so that he was not afraid of the sun and secretly worked for Zhu Yuanzhang. But the Yuan Dynasty fell, the Ming Dynasty was established, the great array in the secret realm of Lushan was opened, and then Wuxu came to the Xuanyin Star of the Outer Heavens, and Wuxu did not have the news of these Yin Body Confucian cultivators. Cai Jing appeared in a Confucian robe and reported his name, and Wu Xuan had some guesses in his heart, and tried the word Yuanchang, and sure enough.

It's just that at this moment, Cai Jing has no breath of bardo at all, sitting opposite, with a complacent expression, calm and extraordinary. And, more importantly, he became a true spiritual monk!

"That's very good!" Cai Jing, after hearing Wuxuan's answer, turned slightly sideways, and said softly to Fu Yidao and Murong Xue, "Wait for a stick of incense time, bring it to the real level monk in the general quickly, and pay the spiritual tax!"

Fu Yidao and Murong Xue, with their backs to Cai Jing, did not turn around, nor did they reply, they just left quickly.

Cai Jing, holding his wine glass, smiled playfully, and no longer paid attention to the two of them, but chatted with Wuxu and others, holding a pearl of wisdom. The clouds are light and the wind is light.

"How many people are there back then?" asked Wu Xuan in a slow voice. The monks who came up in the world, in the minds of the Xuanyin natives, always have some unwarranted hostility, so the questions of enlightenment are more obscure.

"Not much, but some. Cai Jing, looking as usual, replied lightly, his voice was warm.

Wu Xufu asked, "I don't know Yanjing Mansion?"

Cai Jing, flicking his sleeves, "Gone!"

What does it mean?

"Thinking of the Great Zhou Taizu, the posture of the sky, in the realm of monks, gathering mundane beliefs, creating an immortal industry, but monks are confused with the mundane, and the path of cultivation gradually becomes the road of eunuchs. In the long run, it will be difficult for the monks to improve, and it will be difficult to return to the accumulation of Xuanyin. Cai Jing suddenly felt a lot of feelings.

This emotion is very taboo. Everyone present, except for the three Fairy Yu from the Demon Domain, the rest were all people from the Great Zhou, and they were all silent.

"A monk must truly become a monk, and the mundane is mundane after all. The sect must be popular, and the inheritance and teaching. As for the feudal dynasty of the monarch and the ministers, the so-called mundane is not in Xuanyin, but only in the world. ”

It seems to be said to Wuxu.

At this time, the time for a stick of incense has arrived.

Fu Yidao and Murong Xue, I don't know where, and none of the military monks came.

Cai Jing sneered silently, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the token in his hand flew up.

The Yongzhou City Protector Array, running at full speed, radiant and radiant, almost wiped out the garrisons inside and outside the city, leaving no armor left, regardless of monks and laymen. Wuxu wants to stop it, but it can't be done, one is that he can't control the city protection formation now, and the other one, this process is too short, almost a few breaths.

There were also more than 1,000 troops stationed inside and outside Yongzhou, but in just a few moments, they were all wiped out. Fu Yidao and Murong Xue also lost their traces and breath. An army was wiped out like this.

"Elder Brother Yuan, why is this? Could it be that a few real monks will be wiped out if they don't pay the spiritual tax, not to mention many ordinary people in the army?" Wu Xuyan asked.

"Tax inspector, with such great authority, can you wipe out a city garrison at will?" Xiao Jiadong, the head of the Xiao family, also asked beside him.

"Cai was ordered by the House of Elders to inspect the collection of spiritual tax and related affairs. The Yongzhou garrison left and right generals, together with the rest of the real monks, supported the army and respected themselves, resisted taxes and did not pay, and Cai naturally had the right to dispose of it. The token that had flown up earlier had already flown into its wide-sleeved robe, and Cai Jing raised his glass again and muttered to himself, "The imperial army, this tool, is actually just a mundane thing in the world, what use do we monks want?"

In the world of monks, if a monk's cultivation level is high enough, as Cai Jing said, with a flick of his fingers, tens of millions of troops cannot stop him. That's the way it should be. In the past Great Zhou Dynasty, the army absorbed monks, and used formations, systems, laws, and various constraints to balance the power of monks. But for the true spirit and even the Xuanxuan overhaul, under the absolute power, what is this army?

The essence of the army is a collective of ordinary people and a group of monks. As Cai Jing said, the true monks of our generation are extraordinary, high-level, and free, so what is the use of it?

Do you have to be careful at all times? Practice with other people? Every word and deed has an order? Is this still a real monk?

Even if the monks in the army are free and free, what can they do in the army where discipline is strict and prohibitive?

In the final analysis, the world of monks is a world that emphasizes the continuous self-emancipation of the individual, and what is too collective is a kind of obstacle and shackle. The armed forces are the most collective, disciplined, and constraining organizations. Therefore, when a monk enters the army, in most cases, his achievements will not be very high, because there are too many constraints of light or darkness, his spirituality is damaged, his perception is limited, and many opportunities will be invisibly missed.

In the Snow Viewing Pavilion, a true spiritual monk understands. The monks of the whole Xuanyin Star all understand. Therefore, most of the monks who have guaranteed their cultivation resources will not join the Great Zhou army, unless they are the kind of great families who want to get involved in the power of the army and send their children in, or some use the army to avoid the enemy and the like.

But Cai Jing's casual destruction of a city garrison is very strange. He dared to do this, even if some of the trumped-up charges were too severe, but he must have been authorized to some extent. You must know that the Dangping Yanjing Mansion that he said before (there may have been some doubts before, but now it seems that it is likely to be the truth), the Yongzhou garrison that was wiped out tonight, one government and one army, this is the cornerstone of a court. With such a self-destructive cornerstone, is the Great Zhou Dynasty going to disintegrate?

Therefore, someone present asked, "Da Zhou is going to disband the army?"

Cai Jing smiled but did not speak.

Wu Xu's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Elder Brother Yuan, did you bring a holy decree with you this time?"

Cai Jing put down the wine glass that he had been playing with in his hand, and glanced at Wuxu deeply, "I have a token, and I can take over the city protection array, does Master Wuxu still have any doubts?"

At the same time, Cai Jing secretly transmitted his voice, "Master Wuxu, Qixing is successful, and there is a place on it, are you still obsessed with a little Yongzhou City Lord?"

Wuxu understood it, and his heart was shocked.

When Cai Jing came, he kept saying that he was on the orders of the Elders' House, and he kept calling himself Master Wuxu, and never mentioned any city lords。。。。。。 Could it be that something happened to the Great Zhou? I didn't think about this at all before, but first, it was because Cai Jing was also a member of the Confucian family, and the Confucian sect had always been a potential supporter or alliance member of the Great Zhou. Second, and most importantly, Cai Jing has the so-called token, which can snatch control of the city protection array from himself, the city lord. It is said that all the great arrays of the protectors form a huge array of protectors, which the emperor of the Great Zhou can control in the palace of the capital.

Yanjing Mansion and Yongzhou City are like this, but what about other places? If this is the case, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to have disintegrated and existed in name only. Something must have changed dramatically!

Wuxu suddenly thought of the Heavenly Demon, he (she) is a master of Xuan Xuan, and he seems to be on his (her) line. Why haven't you given yourself any news until now? I said before that I sent someone to help me go to the Demon Domain to find someone, but there has been no news.

Wuxu has these thoughts, and the other people present naturally have these thoughts to some extent. After all, they are all monks of a high level, and these seemingly twisted and winding questions are clarified a lot.

No one spoke, only looked at Cai Jing, who seemed to be light and light, but was actually a little incomprehensible. Fairy Yu waited for it, and she was not in a hurry to leave. Such a big event, a big action, the Demon Domain will definitely participate in it, and now it depends on how effective it is. Therefore, their eyes glanced towards Wu Xuan again. Xiao Jiadong, Su Ji, the same.

Because, Wuxu is the Marquis of Wanhu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the lord of Yongzhou City. If Da Zhou is targeted and faces disintegration, here in Yongzhou, Wuxu, the city lord, will bear the brunt.

Wuxu suddenly laughed and looked around. Then he looked at Cai Jing, "Good killing!" These Qiu Eight soldiers are ruffians, wearing skins, foxes and fake tigers, and they think how great they are, as if they can't do without protecting the family and defending the country, eliminating violence and peace, but they forgot that Elder Brother Yuan can make them disappear with a finger. What's more, how can we monks who comprehend the Great Dao and practice, ascend to heaven and earth, and be free, can be hindered by such mundane organizations as the state government and the army under the imperial court?"

Speaking of which, Wuxu clasped his palms together and was solemn, "Wuxu is not only a Buddhist monk, a literary and artistic youth, but also an anarchist. ”
