Chapter 107: The World of Cultivation of People Eating People!
The next day, Dao Chen accompanied Xiao Xiu'er's family to place a spirit stone in each of the four corners of the side room at the back after breakfast, and laid down a simple phantom array and a simple defensive array. Called Xiu'er and her mother said: "Mrs. Xu, this house is used to store grain, rest assured, others can't see the grain piled next to it, just see some dry firewood, you want to take this jade talisman when you want to take it, you can see the grain, please be careful to keep it close to your body, don't let people see it, otherwise you will be killed."
Mrs. Xu naturally knew that Daochen was definitely leaving, but she didn't know that there was still this explanation, she was a little stunned, and took the jade talisman and a bag of more than a dozen spirit stones sent by Daochen in a daze, and Daochen said again: "If you encounter danger, take Xiu'er into this room and put the jade in the bag into the middle groove." Don't make a sound, don't go out, outsiders can't see the entrance to this room, and they can't enter, even if they find something wrong, the jade in the bag can support the defense for a month, and it will also emit spiritual light, attracting people to come, if it is a mountain bandit, they will naturally be scared away." Daochen told the precautions one by one, and didn't dare to give more, otherwise there were too many aura and simple formations that couldn't be hidden, and they couldn't be put in the storage bag, Xiu'er and her mother couldn't use the storage bag, so they could only give a dozen pieces, I hope the family is safe.
Xiu'er and her mother wrote down a little bit, the woman's mind was very thoughtful, and she naturally guessed a lot, and she hesitated to ask whether to ask, Daochen only didn't know in his eyes, let her go, and finally the woman still frowned and smiled: "Thank you to Engong, the slave family knows, and you must remember it." In the end, I chose not to ask anything, and I just remembered this kindness in my heart.
Before leaving, the three of them used aura to guide their bodies, and this is the only thing Daochen can do, try to make their bodies and bones better, if they say that there is no disease and no difficulty in their lives, the current Daochen really can't do it. After comforting Xiao Xiu'er and bidding farewell to the old man, Daochen left Xujia Village and headed towards Xia Yanguo.
Seeing that there was no one around, he released the Qingling Eagle to fly over from the sky, and Dao Chen, who was sitting on the eagle, frowned, thinking about countermeasures. When copying the Xu family, some of the Xu family's study rooms and hidden letterheads Daochen naturally did not let go, this is also his father's teaching, wherever he goes, he can't forget "see more, learn more, think more", from some information, Daochen finally made it clear about the so-called official food.
Official grain, also known as spiritual rice, does contain a trace amount of spiritual energy, and sixty percent of the grain fields in the entire Xia Yan country are planting spiritual rice, thirty percent of the grain fields are planting spiritual grass, and only one percent is planting ordinary rice and vegetables. However, eighty percent of the population of Xia Yanguo are farmers, where did so much spiritual rice go?
When looking at the letterhead, I knew that only a small part of Xia Yanguo's spiritual rice was eaten by monks, and monks who practiced qi above 5 levels had a better choice, and part of the spiritual rice planted by Xia Yanguo was eaten by local dignitaries and royal families, and it turned out that these rich and noble people also knew the benefits of eating spiritual rice, not only to strengthen the body, but also to prolong life, ordinary people can live for 60 years is a high life, and the rich and noble people who eat spiritual rice can often reach the age of 80!
Of course, the local rich people in Xia Yanguo can't eat so much, and more of them are sold to dignitaries and nobles in the Central Domain. What about the spiritual rice cultivated in the Central Domain? Some of it was sold to the richer wealthy people in the Divine Domain, and the rest was eaten by the low-level monks and sects in the Middle Domain and the Outer Domain, presumably because the spiritual energy in the Central Domain was stronger, and the quality of the spiritual rice was better and more expensive, and the benefits to mortals and monks were more obvious.
In the same way, the spiritual rice of the Divine Domain is more high-quality and more expensive, mainly for the use of monks, there are many monks in the Divine Domain, especially the low-level monks, there are simply as many as ordinary people, and the abundance of spiritual energy has changed the probability of the Divine Domain becoming a monk for hundreds of thousands of years, so the Divine Domain is importing a large amount of spiritual rice every year.
In this way, a logistics circle was formed, where the spiritual rice of the Divine Domain was used by the monks of the Divine Domain, and the low-level monks and the rich people ate the spiritual rice transported from the Central Domain, while the monks of the Central Domain ate the spiritual rice left by the Central Domain, and the rich people ate the spiritual rice transported from the Outer Domain, and most of the spiritual rice from the Outer Domain was sold to the Central Domain, except for a small part for their own use.
With the increase of monks, especially after the dignitaries and wealthy began to eat spiritual rice, a large number of grain fields were replanted with spiritual rice, constantly squeezing the planting space of mortal rice, and over time this situation of Jiuyi distribution was formed.
On the one hand, the rapid development of the Wang family over the years is because there is a junior who cultivates immortals, and the surrounding forces dare not oppose it; on the other hand, it is the spiritual rice business, even if it only masters the spiritual rice of the surrounding five hundred acres of land, the same gold and silver mountains are piled up at home, and in the Wang family Daochen also found some spiritual rice stored for the patriarch and elders to eat, which is the same as the spiritual rice planted around.
Daochen sighed, if he wanted to change the life of mortals who were hungry and destitute, he had to return the land to mortals, but how could this be possible? How could a monk make concessions to mortals? If it weren't for the continuous recruitment of qualified disciples, I am afraid that the life of mortals would be even more difficult.
Daochen looked at the terraced fields below on the Qingling Eagle, and he couldn't give birth to a sense of beauty, only felt endless sadness, before leaving, Wang Yifan asked, "Do the people like to plant terraces?", now I finally understand, how can the terraced fields be as good as the flat land, but the flat fields are occupied, and the terraced fields have to be reclaimed, and the more the terraced fields are cultivated, the more powerful the monks will be for the plundering of the plain fields.
And Xiao Xiu'er's family also encountered this kind of predicament, the plains of the family were snatched step by step, and they could only go up the mountain to reclaim the terraces, the men in the family died in battle, only the women and the old man were left, how did the old man climb the mountain and work, the terraces were difficult to plant, and they lost a person to help, how could Xiu'er and her mother pay the taxes? The result of not paying the taxes is to sell the children and daughters, and if they are not willing to sell, they will be forced to buy and sell with the land.
The monk further, the mortal can only take a step back, the mortal takes a step back, the monk goes further, more Lingmi cultivates more monks, more monks need more Lingmi, and over time, until now, the mortal has no way to retreat, behind is the cliff, the monk stopped and began to fight internally, how many dark transactions around Lingmi, Dao Chen has not been in contact, but from the evil situation of the Wang family, he can also get a glimpse of the leopard.
Further up, how many mortals were forced by Lingmi to leave their homes, and how many mortals were forced to die of hunger and cold... And the war between Xia Yan and Yurao is close at hand, I am afraid that the competition for Lingmi also occupies a large factor, plundering more land and population, getting more Lingmi, and exchanging more wealth or elixir from the Middle Domain... To a certain extent, Lingmi is equivalent to the monk's spirit stone, but the spirit stone can only be used by monks, and Lingmi mortals can also use it, yes, and monks fight for spirit stones, and with spirit stones, they can buy the exercises, pills and teachers they want, and the road can be expected;
Therefore, more and more monks are entering the world, not because of the unilateral reason of the monks, the monks want to use the imperial power of the mortal world to dig spiritual stones, plant spiritual grass and spiritual rice, and the powerful people in the mortal world are also using these things to hire monks to plunder each other. The chain of interests in this is too deep, no one can cut it, as for the tired bones hanged in the chain of interests, naturally no one dares to touch it, whoever dares to cut off this chain of interests is the enemy of the monks and anti-elites in the world!
If it is not cut off, the monk's fight is the monk's choice, and there is no complaint. But what about mortals? Like Xiao Xiu'er's family, the two brothers who died in battle, and Xiu'er and her mother who were forced to seek death, who will redress their grievances? Who will defend their injustice? Under the involvement of the chain of interests, no one dare! The ten major sects are the biggest beneficiaries, and they dare not and do not want to! And the lowest mortals are also the most popular people in this jihadist world, but they are also the weakest people, who can only be oppressed and persecuted, and constantly die miserably...
Daochen lay down and didn't want to think about it, looked at the starry sky above him, and muttered to himself: "Father, is this world a world where people eat people?"
