Chapter 408: Chiki Village
"Found it!" the mature woman pulled out a palm-sized token from her storage ring.
I don't know what metal material the token is made of, it presents a bronze color, with the word 'Pegasus' on one side of the token, and after turning over the token, there are these lines of small words on the other side of the token.
The mature woman looked at the small lines behind the token and said: "This is your identity token, the token must be dripping blood to recognize the owner, but don't lose it, otherwise you are a person without identity! Without identity, even if you have money in the future, you can't buy a house in Tianma City!"
"As for the village you were arranged, it was also decided, it was in Chiki Village. It's a little far away from Tianma City, it's not good, but it's not the worst either, and it can barely absorb a little divine qi to cultivate. ”
Taking the identity token handed over by the mature woman, Lin Fan said lightly.
Seeing that Lin Fan accepted the village's arrangement so calmly, the mature woman glanced at Lin Fan in some surprise, and then stopped looking at Lin Fan, and shouted at a soldier standing guard outside the attic: "Gao Qiang, come over quickly." Here, there is an ascendant who has completed the thousand-year obligation and is arranged to be sent to Qianmu Village, and he will be handed over to you!"
As soon as the mature woman's voice fell, she saw the young man in battle armor come over and said, "Got it, Sister Hua!
With that, the warrior named Gao Qiang turned and left.
On the way to Chiki Village, perhaps feeling bored, Gao Qiang asked, "Didn't you bribe the Lord of Tianma Mountain assigned by the village when you assigned the village?"
Bribe?
Lin Fan's heart moved, remembering that when he met Shi Tian and Song Hui before, the two of them had told him about the distribution of the village, and at that time, the two of them also persuaded themselves to bribe Tianma Mountain, which distributed the village, in order to be assigned to a better village.
It's just that at that time, I felt that there were countless divine stones on my body, and I could cultivate anywhere. didn't take the words of Shitian and his wife to heart, which is why this situation is caused now.
"Yes!" Lin Fan nodded slightly, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
"I knew it!" Gao Qiang said with a look of what I had guessed correctly, "but your luck is not bad, and you were not assigned to the worst village. If the villages outside Tianma City are divided into three, six, and nine from far to near, this Qianmu Village can be regarded as a seventh-rank village, which is better than the worst ninth-class village, and can barely absorb a little divine qi to cultivate. If it's the worst ninth-class village, then you're miserable!"
"Isn't this worst ninth-rank village miserable? Isn't it just that you can't absorb the divine qi to cultivate?
"Divine Stone Cultivation, you say it easy, do you know how difficult it is to earn Divine Stone?" Gao Qiang's voice raised a lot.
"There are three main ways for ordinary people to earn low-grade divine stones, one is to go to the divine stone mine to mine like an ascender. After a thousand years, in addition to the paid divine stones, there will generally be a lot left; the second is to go to the abandoned mine to find the divine stones, and if you are lucky, you can find them; the third way is to work, to work for the city lord's mansion. Work for some powerful people. ”
"These three methods don't earn many divine stones, and after deducting the tax once in a hundred years, there are even fewer left. Therefore, many gods rely on absorbing the qi of the gods to cultivate. Of course. In addition to the three methods just now, there are some other ways to earn Divine Stones, and there are more Divine Stones earned. ”
"For example, go to the barren areas of the divine realm to find some rare materials or precious herbs, ores, etc., which can be sold in the city. It's just that this method is more dangerous, and finding precious herbs and materials also requires a shrewd eye, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Lin Fan, who had a large number of divine stones, had never worried about the matter of divine stones. Now after listening to Gao Qiang's words, I know that it is so difficult to earn divine stones in the god realm!
"After talking about the Divine Stone, let's talk about how it will be miserable for Weishenme to be assigned to the ninth-rank village. The villages outside Pegasus are under the jurisdiction of Pegasus Castle, and Pegasus City provides them with protection, so all villages are required to pay taxes to the Castle Lord's Office. But. The farther away from Pegasus City, the smaller the protection is, and the ninth-rank villages are the farthest away from Pegasus City, so in addition to paying taxes to the City Lord's Mansion, they also have to pay taxes to the leaders of some powerful shili in some places!" Gao Qiang said.
"Powerful Shili Leader?" Lin Fan looked at Gao Qiang suspiciously.
"It's the King of the Mountain!" Gao Qiang said clearly, "If you think about it, there are only nearly 80 million people living in Tianma City, and there are hundreds of millions of people outside. It is more difficult for people to live outside, but those who fly up are not a generation of heroes in the lower realm? Therefore, many people have gone to the barren area and occupied the mountains as kings!"
Lin Fan blurted out: "Isn't that a robber, why don't you care about the City Lord's Mansion?"
"City Lord's Mansion, City Lord's Mansion is just an occasional show, as long as these shili do not affect the rule of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion will not take care of it. Moreover, there are not many people who can accommodate inside the city, but there are too many people outside the city, so fighting each other can relieve the population pressure. Gao Qiang sneered.
"It's not easy to occupy the mountain as the king, right? The village is also full of gods, and if those who occupy the mountain are persecuted too much, won't the residents of the village resist?" Lin Fan said.
Gao Qiang sighed and said, "You are wrong! There are many people who occupy the mountain as the king, but the shili who dare to let the village pay taxes regularly are all big shili, and generally small shili do not dare to do this." Those little shili also make a living by robbing some people who act alone. ”
"Big shili, how big?" Lin Fan asked.
"There are three major shili outside Tianma City, and if the city lord's mansion is ruthless, it can indeed get rid of these three shili. But the City Lord's Mansion is ruthless, because if you want to destroy these three major shili, you have to kill at least dozens of Xuan Gods, do you say that the City Lord's Mansion, which has only more than a hundred Xuan God masters in total, is willing to spend such a big price?"
Lin Fan was shocked in his heart, it would cost such a big price to eliminate these three shilis!
............
Leaving from the Shenshi Mine, Lin Fan walked for several days under the leadership of Gao Qiang before coming to Qianmu Village, and at the same time, on the way to Qianmu Village, Lin Fan also knew a lot of things in the jurisdiction of Tianma City.
"This is the village chief's house, and the village chief will tell you many things. Gao Qiang walked very familiarly to the outside of a village, the door of the village was open, and there were two middle-aged men drinking and chatting inside.
Gao Qiang walked in and said to the middle-aged man with an elegant face: "Chief Qianmu Village, you should have been notified a long time ago, this is the latest Ascendant who has been arranged to your Qianmu Village. ”
The village chief of Qianmu walked towards Lin Fan with a smile and said, "I am the village chief of Qianmu Village, Qianmu, presumably you are Lin Fan." Here are some things to look out for in the village, and I've got you covered. ”
As he spoke, the village chief of Qianmu handed Lin Fan a piece of jade slip.
After Lin Fan took the jade slip, his mind swept away, and he immediately knew the information contained in the jade slip, and then arched his hand and said: "Village chief, then I won't bother, say goodbye! Brother Gaoqiang, you also send me here, farewell." ”
After speaking, Lin Fan simply left directly.
After Lin Fan left, Gao Qiang also bowed his hand to the village chief of Qianmu and said, "Then the village chief of Qianmu, I will also leave!"
In this way, Lin Fan temporarily lived in Qianmu Village. I usually live in a wooden house built by myself, and occasionally I will appear in the village to say hello to the people in the village and get to know the people in the village.
Sometimes Lin Fan would leave the village for a while, and the people in the village were not surprised by Lin Fan's actions, because many people in the village were like this.
Qianmu Village is a little far away from Tianma City, and you have to pay taxes to the city lord's mansion every seven hundred years, so many people earn divine stones by picking some ordinary medicinal herbs in the mountains near the village and selling them in the city.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years have passed since Lin Fan came to Qianmu Village, and in the past two hundred years, Lin Fan has spent most of his time cultivating in the Hongmeng Palace, and now Lin Fan's cultivation realm has broken through to the late stage of the Earth God, and the diameter of the small universe space in his body has reached 300,000 kilometers!
On this day, when it was time to pay taxes to the city lord's mansion, everyone in the village came to a square in the village.
In the square, more than 20 soldiers wearing standard armor stood upright at the front of the crowd, and a young man at the head looked at the people around him indifferently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as in the past. Those who survive the divine tribulation must pay taxes, and each person will pay 700 inferior spirit stones, and come one by one. The young man shouted.
Immediately, the villagers consciously lined up and stepped forward one by one to pay their taxes.
In front of Lin Fan was a young woman, the woman was dressed in a blue Luo shirt, and her hair was like ink-dyed green silk pouring down, she was a very temperamental beauty.
After a while, it was the turn of the young woman in front of Lin Fan.
As soon as the young man who collected taxes saw the young woman, a smile immediately appeared on his indifferent face, and he said, "Sister Qingluo, you haven't forgotten your eldest brother Qiyan, right?"
The young woman Qingluo smiled lightly: "How could you forget Big Brother Qiyan, I didn't expect that in just a million years, Big Brother Qiyan would also get mixed up like this in the city." ”
"Sister Qingluo, I am dedicated to Qianmu Village this time, and tax collection is one aspect, and another aspect is to propose to your parents. We also grew up together in the Divine Realm with Qingmei Xiuma, and now I have some achievements, I guess you won't refuse, right?" The man Qiyan looked at the woman Qingluo with fiery eyes.
Hearing the man's words, a trace of shame appeared on Qingluo's face.
At this time, Qingluo's parents came over, and the eyes of the two looking at Qingluo were full of love.
Qingluo's mother looked at Qiyan and said, "Qiyan, you grew up under my watch, and I also know your heart for Qingluo, if you don't have a house in Tianma City, I won't let Qingluo suffer with you!"
Qi Yan hurriedly said: "Auntie, since you know my intentions for Qingluo, do you say that I will let Qingluo suffer with me? I have survived so many years in the city, and I just bought a house in the city not long ago, and Qingluo will be able to enjoy happiness there after following me!"
Suddenly, Qingluo's mother's eyes lit up, and Qingluo's father also nodded slightly. (To be continued......)
