Drunk Immortal Gourd

After the discussion, everyone was not in a hurry. The head of the Tian family took out a few low-level healing pills and distributed them to everyone, and then divided the people into two groups. Those who were seriously injured were treated on the spot, while those who were slightly injured were sent to the Forest Beast. The body was pulled over and the valuable materials on it were cut up.

After all the busy work, it was already two hours later. The condition of the injured person had improved a bit. Although the injury had not been relieved much, he was able to withstand the bumps on the road. The materials on the forest beast had also been processed. The head of the Tian family Originally, he wanted to give some to Qingyang, but Qingyang didn't like these low-level materials and he was determined not to want them. The head of the Tian family had no choice but to give up.

The Tian family is not generally poor, and among the seven people in the team, only three Qi Refining monks have talismans on them, and the space inside is not very big. They took care of all three forest-piercing beasts, including their flesh and bones. Not letting it go, plus the previous harvest, it was filled with talismans.

After packing up, it was time to return, so Tian Dayong led the way, and Tian Dazhuang was responsible for cutting off the rear. The others supported the lightly injured and seriously injured, and headed all the way towards Tianjiazhuang. In this case, the speed was only If you can't get up quickly, it's good if you can walk two to three hundred miles a day. Qingyang is new here and doesn't understand the situation, so he's not in a hurry. He plans to understand the basic situation here before making a decision, so he follows him slowly. Among the Tian family’s team.

It’s a journey of thousands of miles, and it’s such an inaccessible dense forest. There are still dangers on the way. Fortunately, there are not many high-level monsters nearby. If you occasionally encounter a first- or second-level monster, the Tian family can deal with it, and there is no need to Qingyang took action and found a few more high-level spiritual grasses along the way.

Of course, the Tian family also collects spiritual herbs, but their cultivation level is too low and their spiritual awareness is insufficient. They often cannot detect them even if they are three to five meters away. Finding spiritual herbs depends entirely on luck, and the harvest is not much.

Four days later, the group finally returned to Tianjiazhuang. Tianjiazhuang was not small in size. It was built with stones and wood on an open space with a radius of three to four miles in the dense forest, and the surrounding area was more than ten feet tall. A high log wall surrounded the city, with monks on duty on it to prevent sudden attacks by wild beasts. There were also acres of fields on the outside, and many people were farming in the fields at this time.

On the way, Qingyang heard from the Tian family that the living conditions here are relatively poor, the population is too sparse, and there are many monsters and beasts, so immortal cultivators and mortals generally live together, and the immortal cultivators rely on mortals to provide services. , cultivators provide protection for mortals.

Except for a few outsiders, most of the people in Tianjiazhuang are from the Tian family. There are about one to two thousand people in the village, of which 98% are mortals. There are more than thirty immortal cultivators with spiritual roots, and only one in the Qi refining period. There are seven, and the one with the highest cultivation level is the clan leader at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is much better than that of the Kyushu continent, and there are many monsters and spiritual grasses. However, the base of human monks is too small, so the number of high-level monks is not large. Those in Tianjiacun are already pretty good. In Jiuzhou Continent, it can be regarded as a small immortal cultivating family.

There are always people on duty on the walls of Tianjia Village. When they saw Qingyang and his party, someone immediately reported loudly to the village. Then cheers came from the entire village: "The patriarch is back."

In the past, the clan leader took people into the mountains for as little as three to five days, as many as seven or eight days, and never more than ten days. But this time, it lasted half a month, and there was no news at all. The clan leader is the backbone of the entire village. , Tian Dazhuang and Tian Dayong are also ranked third and fourth in strength in the village. If something happens to them, the strength of the entire Tianjia Village will plummet. Now they are finally back. Although many people were injured, but There is no such thing as a lack of people.

Soon a group of people came out of the village gate. The leader was an old man at the seventh level of Qi Refining. This man was the same generation as the clan leader, named Tian Lisong. He was the second master in Tianjia Village. When the clan leader was away, he was responsible for the safety of the village. He opened his mouth and said: "Clan leader, you are finally back."

After several days of recuperation, the injury of the head of the Tian family has improved a lot. When he saw his clan members, he finally relaxed and said, "Yes, I'm finally back. The mission this time is too heavy, so I will take everyone to the mountains." After walking a few hundred miles, we encountered a group of forest beasts, one of which was a fourth-level beast. Even I was seriously injured. We were almost wiped out, if not for the help of this little brother next to us. , you might not be able to see me."

Although there are more than thirty monks in the Tian family, that number includes even babies with spiritual roots. Most of them only have the cultivation level of opening the pulse. If the clan leader, Tian Dazhuang and Tian Dayong died in the forest, It was almost a disaster for the Tian family. Tian Lisong quickly bowed deeply to Qingyang and said: "Thank you little brother for your help. My Tian family is grateful."

After thanking Qingyang, Tian Lisong finally got down to business and said: "Chief, the town has sent people to our village again to urge you. If you don't come back, I will send people to look for you."

"Didn't you say we were given three months to prepare? How come I've only been gone for half a month and the town sent someone to urge me again? Could something have happened?" asked the head of the Tian family, frowning.

Tian Lisong shook his head and said: "I don't know either. The people sent by the town to urge the army have been in our village for three days. I have been providing him with good food and drink, but his temper is still getting worse day by day. I don't know if he is broken or broken." There are so many things that I really don’t know how to deal with.”

Hearing this, Tian Dazhuang said angrily: "This is really unreasonable! Our Tianjiazhuang's offerings are fixed every year, and this year's offerings have been collected long ago. Not to mention the sudden increase in levies, the increase is still several times that of before. So It’s like urging people to live, but you still want to let them live?”

Tian Dayong also said angrily: "If it weren't for additional conquests, why would we have had to travel dangerously deep into the forest this time? How would we have encountered a fourth-level forest-penetrating beast? Are they trying to force us to death?"

Tianjiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of Jinjiling Town and must be handed over for worship every year. According to the number of monks, Tianjiazhuang’s annual tribute is about thirty-four yuan, which is one spiritual stone per person. Fortunately, the surrounding resources are rich, and Tianjiazhuang After collecting enough for offerings, there is still some leftover for the clansmen to use.

This year's payment had already been paid in full in the first half of the year. Unexpectedly, half a month ago, the town suddenly issued a notice requiring Tianjiacun to pay another 68 yuan. If the previous payment is added, it is already three times the amount of previous years. , Tianjiazhuang is a poor village with no tomorrow after today, how can it collect so many spiritual stones at once? In desperation, the head of the Tian family had to lead his people into the mountains to hunt monsters. As a result, he encountered the fourth-level forest-piercing beast and almost lost his life in the forest. The Tian family was already suffocating, and the town also How can they endure this pressure on everyone?
