Chapter 68 Evasion Tax

Dong Xiaoping stretched his neck to look over, although the thing drawn on the parchment was relatively abstract, he still recognized it, it was probably a mountain peak.

There are many small circles all over the peak, some large and some small, some heavy, some light and thin, and there are various lines of different thicknesses between the small circles.

The whole picture looks like a meridian acupoint map that I have seen before, except that the object is a mountain peak.

Dong Xiaoping was amazed, he didn't expect to go to a place with aura to cultivate and make so many famous halls! I don't know how to use this "meridian acupoint map"?

"This picture is used in the autumn and winter seasons, and every time the bath spirit peak arrives at the turn of summer and autumn, winter and spring, the spirit cave will undergo significant changes, but it can't be confused, many people don't know this truth. Huang Xiaozi said with a slight expression.

"Oh?" Dong Xiaoping sounded quite interesting, "Are we going to follow this diagram to find the best cultivation position?" These small circles are the so-called spirit acupoints?"

"Senior Brother Dong is really smart, that's right!" Huang Xiaozi praised him, and then changed his words, "But we can't stick to the drawings, you must know that while our monks absorb the spiritual energy, it will also affect the aura in the peak, especially when there are many people, the real location of the spiritual acupoint may be very different from the drawing on the drawing." ”

Dong Xiaoping didn't seem to understand when he heard it, as if it was the butterfly effect that caused the changes in the spiritual acupoints.

"Senior Brother Dong, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good spiritual acupoint location in a while. The yellow dwarf patted his chest and said.

"Then there is Senior Brother Lao Huang. ”

Dong Xiaoping didn't expect this yellow dwarf to be so enthusiastic, if it wasn't for the inconsistencies, he wanted to tip him.

As he spoke, there were almost two of them.

"Yo, it's so much money, it seems that you've had a lot of luck these days. ”

The monk who collected the gate tax said with a grin at a tall boy.

"Haha, Senior Brother Gu, don't worry, today's filial piety in the future is indispensable, we don't rely on luck, but on the talent of this Senior Brother Liu. ”

The big man laughed, patted the shoulder of a person next to him and said.

The man hurriedly said in a sharp voice: "Where is it, the little brother still has to rely on you to take care of it." ”

Several people around him laughed.

This voice Dong Xiaoping is very familiar, and when he turned his head to look, why is it Liu Qiang again?

Just now, he was either looking at the mountain peak, or looking at the parchment in his hand, and he hadn't noticed Liu Qiang yet.

Obviously, he is not too young, and he still calls himself a little brother, whose thigh is he hugging? .

He was guessing what Liu Qiang was doing, when a thin man walked up to him obscenely and whispered, "Master, you're new here, right? I'll take you to a place, you don't need to pay a door tax, you just have to give me a tael of silver." ”

This person calls Dong Xiaoping a mage, which means that he is a mortal.

Dong Xiaoping sighed secretly when he heard this, can he still evade the ticket?

One tael of silver is equivalent to one-fifth of the gate tax, which is very attractive to the average person.

Dong Xiaoping looked at Huang Shorty, and Huang Shorty said with some hesitation: "Actually, I used to take this kind of way often, but recently, I don't know why, I heard that people who evade taxes are often caught, and if they are caught, they will be fined a penny of Mithril." ”

The thin man hurriedly said, "This time I promise to be fine, we will change places, so that after you go in, you can throw the silver tael from above the wall." ”

Dong Xiaoping thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay, let's go." ”

He didn't want to save money, he just wanted to see it, and if he was caught anyway, he would only be fined one penny of Mithril, which was not a big amount for him.

When Huang Xiaozi saw that Dong Xiaoping decided to go, he hesitated for a while, presumably because he was afraid that he would lose a penny of Mithril if he was caught.

"Senior Brother Huang, let's go together, if you are caught, I will pay a fine for you. ”

Dong Xiaoping lacked a guide like Huang Dwarf, so he naturally wanted to bring him with him.

"Hehe, that's embarrassing!"

He said that he was embarrassed, but there was no refusal on his face, but he was happy that he could save on the door tax today.

The two followed the thin man along the wall, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they saw two people standing by the wall, and looking at the dress of the two people, they were also mortals.

"It's ......," the thin man said to the two mortals again, "Old Flower, Old Mo, quickly push the stone away." ”

One of those two Dong Xiaoping seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, maybe it was a registered disciple of the Seventy-Nine Society, he thought to himself.

Lao Hua and Lao Mo hurriedly bent down, pressed their hands against a brick wall, kicked their feet, and pushed them hard.

Dong Xiaoping looked carefully, it turned out that it was not a normal corner, but separated from other places, but it was not too conspicuous under the cover of the grass.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so stealthy now. The yellow dwarf smiled and said to the thin man, even if it is for mortals, he has no fight.

"It's not that the investigation is strict now, we have to find some way to make a living, mage, do you say this is the truth. The thin man replied with a smile.

After a dozen or so breaths, a hole more than two feet high appeared in the wall.

"I've wronged the two mages, we don't dare to make a hole too big, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered. The thin man smiled flatteringly, "After a while, the mage will throw the money out, and a few of us will live on this." ”

"Okay. ”

Dong Xiaoping said very simply, and then beckoned the yellow dwarf to drill the hole, since the yellow dwarf said that it was very hidden, there should be no problem.

He went in first, and then the yellow dwarf followed.

He didn't leave directly after entering, but turned and stood still to see how they were able to recover the hole outside the wall.

From the inside, the false wall turned out to be a stone, but the outward side of the stone was glued with bricks. There is a rope at the bottom of the stone, and the person outside pulls the rope to restore the hole.

"In order to make money, I can really think of any way!" Dong Xiaoping sighed.

"No, it wasn't so hidden before, it was all swaggering and opening a big hole. Huang Shorty happily agreed.

"Hey, you two are tax evaders. ”

The two were sighing, but they heard a cold female voice in the distance.

The two of them were startled, and turned their heads to see a slightly chubby woman in a beautiful monk's uniform, standing on a high post, staring at them coldly.

This woman Dong Xiaoping knows, and she is still impressed, it is the monk surnamed Yang who killed Zhang Laosan for a fairy civet!

Seeing her, Dong Xiaoping, who has always been peaceful, couldn't help but clench his fists!

There was also a man standing next to the monk surnamed Yang, and at this moment he walked down with a smile, and said as he walked: "I'm sorry, you evaded the gate tax just happened to be caught by our Senior Sister Yang on the spot, Qingbo Gate has a rule, and each person will be fined one cent of Mithril for the evasion tax." ”

"Okay, let's take the penalty. ”

Dong Xiaoping calmly took out two Mithril coins from his arms, each weighing just one penny, and threw them to the man who walked over.

The man grabbed Mithril and said with a grin, "Ouch, don't be so angry, you won't be ruined." ”

Dong Xiaoping said expressionlessly: "What Senior Brother said makes sense. ”

"Hmph!" Seeing that they had obediently paid the money, the monk surnamed Yang shook his hand and walked down the hill and disappeared from the sight of the two. The man also hummed a tune and left.

"Do you know the woman?"

After the two left, Dong Xiaoping asked.

"That woman is the envoy of Yu Ling Peak, she is responsible for managing the affairs of Yu Ling Peak, she has been in charge of the affairs of Yu Ling Peak for more than a year, she is an outer disciple, I heard that there are two levels of cultivation. She has two assistants, both of whom are registered disciples, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Cai, usually one is responsible for collecting gate taxes and the other is patrolling. The person just now was surnamed Cai. ”

Just now, Dong Xiaoping simply helped Huang Xiaozi pay a fine, although he said it first, Huang Xiaozi still felt a little guilty and explained to him very carefully.

After Huang Xiaozi finished speaking, he saw that Dong Xiaoping didn't speak for a long time, and said with a little hesitation: "Brother Dong Shuai...... I'm sorry, I didn't dissuade you just now, and it ended up costing you ......"

"It's okay, it's not your fault. Dong Xiaoping interrupted him, and he had a feeling in his heart, could it be that he was cheated, and he was caught so well disguised in this hole, this is too coincidental, right?

The old hatred has not been settled, and a new hatred has been added, but he can't do anything about this monk surnamed Yang for the time being.

Although Zhao Yuan, the big Maha, completely forgot to tell him the rules of the master's sect, he had already understood that the Qingbo Sect strictly forbade disciples to fight privately, and once it was discovered, it would be absolutely severely punished, especially if a low-level disciple hurt a high-level disciple, the crime would be increased by one degree.

The low and high level mentioned here is not the level of cultivation, but the identity of a disciple, like him, a registered disciple, is lower than the outer disciple of the monk surnamed Yang.

And he hadn't learned spells yet, so it was hard to beat her with a blaster.

He secretly reminded himself that he couldn't be in a hurry to take revenge!

"Senior Brother Dong, this ...... That's it, uh...... We're all here anyway, the aura here is too small, let's go find a good spiritual cave. Huang Xiaozi saw that Dong Xiaoping was still and was a little anxious.

"Oh, okay, you lead the way. Dong Xiaoping reacted and hurriedly said.

Only then did he feel the aura here, and he was a little disappointed, it was about the same concentration as the place in the cemetery, and it must be better to go to that spiritual cave.

So the two of them left the place. The one or two silver that I promised the thin man before, naturally it is impossible to give it again, so it's good that I didn't trouble them.

Bathing Spirit Peak is not dangerous, although there is no deliberate mountain road, but for a long time, in order to find the spirit cave, the monks have walked around the peak every day, and a path like a spider web has long been formed.

The path is not too obvious, maybe just a few flat stones, or a few small hollows in the stone wall.

Dong Xiaoping walked in it, and he actually had the feeling of visiting a scenic spot.

The peak was full of people, all of them were teenagers and girls like him, and they must have all been gray cha who had just cultivated.

"Senior Brother Huang, why are there no children here?"

He suddenly thought of a question, since most people had opened their spiritual roots when they were children, and Ma Ruyu and Huang Xiaozi were both a little older than him, it could be said that it was accidental, so why didn't they see a single child in this lowest-level cultivation place.

"Doesn't Senior Brother Dong know? Even if you have a spiritual root, you can't start cultivating until you are thirteen or fourteen years old, otherwise, the spiritual root that is too young will be polluted by the impurities in the spiritual energy, which will damage the Great Dao, otherwise why would you have to wait until the right age to worship the immortals when you receive an immortal worship order outside. ”

He paused slightly, and then added: "But if the quality of the spiritual root is good, you can properly cultivate in advance, I heard that the high-grade spiritual root can start cultivating at the age of ten, but people with this kind of spiritual root don't need to come to this bathing spirit peak, they are all accepted into the inner door." ”

As he spoke, an expression of envy appeared on his face.
