The southern Xinjiang of Yunguo has long been restored to peace, but the life of the people is even more difficult than before, many people are in tattered clothes, weak and thin, and their faces are yellow and godless, as if they have encountered ***.

After Yang Luochen arrived in Yunguo, he gave all the money and property that Liang Fei gave him, and he often encountered robberies and thefts.

On this day, Yang Luochen came to Fancheng in Yunguo, and it was also in that person's memory that Yang Luochen knew that Fancheng had a great plague epidemic, and it took more than a month for Poria to take the imperial doctor sent by Ouyang Jin to cure it.

Fancheng is also a big city in Yunguo, it is the most important city in the north-south trade of Yunguo, it has always been prosperous, Yang Luochen also wants to go to the big city to see, there are too many robberies and thefts in small places, which are caused by the inaction of those local officials.

Along the way, Yang Luochen knew the current situation of Yunguo. After the complete truce between Daliang and Yunguo, Ouyang Yan's hegemony of conquering the Quartet completely failed, and he began to build a sky-watching tower with the strength of Yunguo and the whole country, and the taxes became very heavy.

Originally, according to Ouyang Jin's previous policies, the people's lives would be better and better, but he didn't expect Ouyang Yan to become the emperor, abolish all the previous policies of Ouyang Jin, and support the five major families who were about to decline.

Now half of the power of Yunguo is in the hands of the five great families, and the five great families are hiding from Ouyang Yan and constantly increasing taxes to the people, resulting in the people not being able to afford to eat in order to pay taxes, Ouyang Yan only cares about his own situation and does not care about the lives of the people.

These things are all Yang Luochen heard along the way, the truth is not yet certain, the only thing that can be determined is that the life of the people of Yunguo is indeed very hard, and they don't want to be in peace with the country that has developed for a few years.

Came to the foot of Fancheng, the city gate was full of people entering the city, only to see that everyone who wanted to enter the city or leave the city had to pay money, and the city gate was posted with a notice of the entry tax and exit tax levied by the government.

Yang Luochen didn't have a penny on him, he originally planned to go into the city to have a look, but he didn't plan to live in it, and he left after taking a look at the situation, but now it seems that he can't get in, so he can only lead the horse to leave.

Just about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, "Those who are dressed in black in front, stop for me"

Yang Luochen turned his head and asked, "You called me?"

Several soldiers rushed over and put their spears directly around his neck, and one of them said: "Look at the thief's eyebrows, strange dress, and say, what are you doing in Fancheng? Why do you suddenly want to leave?"

Yang Luochen was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "I came to Fancheng to visit relatives, and when I saw that you had to pay taxes when you entered the city, I had no money, so I had to leave." ”

A fat man with a fat head and big ears and a luxurious dress suddenly pushed away those soldiers, stared at Yang Luochen's horse and said with a smile: "Good horse, really good horse, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can go in if you leave the horse."

Only then did Yang Luochen know that the fat man was beating his horse's attention, so he quickly pulled the reins and said, "No, this horse was raised by me since I was a child, and I can't give it to you." I don't go into town."

The fat man's face turned cold, he looked at Yang Luochen and said: "Boy, Uncle Ben has taken a fancy to your horse is your blessing, come here, buckle the horse, and send him in to visit relatives."

Yang Luochen pretended to struggle, was taken away by those soldiers, and set up into Fancheng, the surrounding people just shook their heads and sighed helplessly when they saw it, and no one stood up.

Yang Luochen shouted while struggling: "Return my horse, are you robbers or soldiers, and is there any royal law?"

The fat man touched the horse and shouted loudly: "In Fancheng, Lao Tzu is the king's law, if you don't know each other again, Uncle Ben will directly let them send you to prison and sentence you to a crime of disrupting law enforcement."

Yang Luochen gritted his teeth and was directly thrown into the city by those soldiers, and those soldiers did not forget to beat Yang Luochen when they left. Those who don't hurt or itch, but they are very aggrieved.

Yang Luochen wanted to make a move, and a kind lady hurriedly grabbed Yang Luochen and said: "Young man, listen to the words of the eldest lady, hurry up, don't provoke them, they are evil wolves who don't eat people and don't blink."

Yang Luochen didn't think about what to do, and he was afraid that he would accidentally kill them, even if he couldn't get angry in his heart, he could only let go of these dogs first, Yang Luochen had seen too many of this kind of things along the way, and he couldn't control it.

The eldest lady pulled Yang Luochen away and asked: "Young man, what are you doing in Fancheng? Now that Fancheng is in chaos, the eldest lady advises you to leave early, don't stay inside, especially at night."

Yang Luochen said slowly: "Auntie, I just came in casually for a walk, I heard that Li Yi, the Taishou of Fancheng, is a good official who is loyal and patriotic, honest and honest, why has Fancheng become like this now?"

The eldest lady sighed and said, "Young man, Li Taishou resigned a few years ago and returned to his hometown. Back then, it was Li Taishou and the divine doctor who helped tens of thousands of people in Fancheng cure the plague, Li Taishou was really a good official, and we still miss him."

"After a plague in Fancheng that year, it was Li Taishou who worked diligently to help us resume production, and the emperor also issued an order to give us the greatest support for the people of Fancheng. Later, Fancheng returned to the prosperity it used to be."

"It's a pity that after Li Taishou resigned, a new Taishou, surnamed Shen, just collect money, increase taxes, where do we care about life or death, the fat man at the city gate just now is called Shen Kang, who is the youngest son of the new Taishou, so the eldest mother won't let you mess with him"

As soon as Yang Luochen heard the surname, he knew that he was a member of the five major families of Yun Kingdom, and along the way, he heard all kinds of evil deeds about the five major families, and he faced in his heart, "Ouyang Yan, Ouyang Yan, it took your father a lifetime to get rid of the control of the five major families, it's good for you to straighten them out again, I'm afraid that this mess will be difficult to clean up even if Ouyang Jin comes back."

This lady said a lot to Yang Luochen, and when she parted, she told Yang Luochen not to go out at night. Yang Luochen didn't care either, as for the situation in Yunguo, he had heard the people say goodbye to his aunt and began to wander around Fancheng.

Where is there still the prosperity of the past, there are very few people on the street, the restaurants and restaurants are full of rich people, there are a lot more beggars on the roadside, and rich people can be seen bullying the poor everywhere, and Yang Luochen is too lazy to care.

No matter how much this kind of thing is managed, it is useless, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, the fundamental problem is the actions of the people above, even if Yang Luochen is chivalrous everywhere, after all, it is just a clown jumping off the beam, and it can't play a big role.

After wandering around Fancheng for a while, Yang Luochen also felt bored, so he found a hidden place to rest, and left Fancheng at night, and then went to Hanruo Temple to see Yuan Yuan and visit Master Mingkong.

Time passed quickly, and when night came, Yang Luochen was also about to get up and leave, walking on the street, and found that there was no one, it was just dark this day, and there was no light in the city.

Yang Luochen felt very strange, this is not like a curfew, if there is no one on the street in the curfew, the lights can be turned on again, there should be patrolling soldiers on the street, but there are none, the whole Fancheng is like a dead city, there is no sound at all.

Yang Luochen looked around as he walked, and when he was puzzled, suddenly a howl of a beast sounded in Fancheng, and there was a sound in the center of the city.

Yang Luochen jumped up and climbed on the roof, only to see a black shadow wandering around the city, as if looking for something, the distance was too far, and Yang Luochen didn't see what was going on.

Tiptoe asked i to go to the roof of the house, and Yang Luochen's whole body flew towards the black shadow quickly, like a civet cat in the night, wandering around on the roof.

Soon, Yang Luochen came to the center of Fancheng, and only then did he see clearly what this black shadow was, it was a monster with three dog heads, covered in blood red, with sharp thorns on its tail, and a smell of blood permeated the air, five times larger than an ordinary dog, and it was running around at will.

"What kind of monster is this? Why do I feel that there is a dead aura on it" Yang Luochen stood on the roof and watched, his heart was looking towards the identity of this monster.

Suddenly, Mu Ye's voice came from the sea of knowledge, "Stinky boy, this is a hellhound, a thing that can only be born in the underworld, and I don't know what the ghost cultivator brought to the world."

Hearing Mu Ye's voice, Yang Luochen was overjoyed in his heart and asked, "Mu Ye, are you out of the customs? What are you cultivating in retreat? Has your power risen sharply?"

Mu Ye replied: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, my strength hasn't increased greatly, but Lao Tzu has got something better." Your kid is making rapid progress, he has reached the late stage of enlightenment, and he almost broke through by chance, how are those cultivators of Haotian Sect?"

Yang Luochen stared at the hellhounds wandering around underground, and said in the sea of knowledge: "Master Mu, I got the Silver Frost Sword and the Flowing Shadow Silver Frost Technique, as for the level of cultivation, keep it secret for the time being."

Mu Ye said with a smile in the sea of knowledge: "Hahaha, you kid is so lucky, you can get the things of the Flowing Shadow Sword Immortal, cultivate well, if the Flowing Shadow Sword Immortal is still there, where is there anything to serve in the distant sky"

"This Liuying was even more horizontal than Yaotian Feng back then, and the self-created "Flowing Shadow Silver Frost Jue" swept across the cultivation realm, no one dared to provoke it, but it was the object of worship of the sword immortal at that time, and Haotian Sect also became the first sect in the cultivation realm because of him."

Yang Luochen had also heard about the Flowing Shadow Sword Immortal from Yao Tianfeng, but it was not as mysterious as what Mu Ye said, it was nothing more than practicing the true fire of the glass, and the outside world did not know, as for the attainment of swordsmanship, Yang Luochen was already very clear in his heart.

The record on "Flowing Shadow Silver Frost Technique" is very clear and detailed, and Yang Luochen is just trying to comprehend the mystery of swordsmanship now.

The two were chatting, and suddenly the underground hellhound looked over, and the mouths of the three dog heads roared at the same time, Yang Luochen's divine sense suddenly rippled, and the hellhound rushed over.

Mu Ye said in Zhihai: "Boy, be careful, this puppy is very difficult to deal with, unless you know how to thunder, it will be difficult to destroy." The roar of a dog's head calms the soul, the roar of a dog's head is resounding, and there is a dog's head that eats souls. ”

"This puppy is still young, I'm afraid it was only a short time after birth, if it was an adult Cerberus, just now the three heads roared together, boy, with your divine consciousness in the late stage of enlightenment, I'm afraid it would have died a long time ago, and it became food for the puppy."

Mu Ye explained in Zhihai, Yang Luochen listened, but his body retreated quickly, the hellhound had already reached the roof, directly crushing the entire roof, and there was a family of four living in it, a couple with young children, all shouted in fright.

Cerberus opened its bloody mouth and rushed directly towards them, Yang Luochen didn't think about it, his fists flew over wrapped in flames, and directly knocked Cerberus away.

Cerberus flew to the street, adjusted his body and stood there steadily, Yang Luochen was shocked in his heart, although he used his fist just now, it was also a blow from the monk of the Enlightenment Period, and it hit the Cerberus as if it hit an iron plate, and there was no damage at all.

Mu Ye said in Zhihai: "Boy, this puppy has rough skin and thick meat, and his body is not inferior to yours, you better draw your sword, otherwise you won't be able to beat it."

As soon as Mu Ye's words were finished, the hellhound rushed towards Yang Luochen, and the three dog heads were about to speak together, Mu Ye hurriedly said: "Stop it, otherwise your kid will die in its hands."

Yang Luochen didn't know how to stop it, the voice of the Cerberus sounded in shock, Yang Luochen's divine sense rippled again, and after recovery, the three dog heads of the Cerberus had already arrived in front of Yang Luochen's eyes, only three inches away from his face.
