The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 60 Lin'an

...

"Cousin, what's the matter with you?"

Some doubtful voices came to his ears, Ji Yuenian opened his eyes, and what he saw were more than a dozen disciples in the Nascent Realm, who were standing below respectfully at this time, and the person who spoke was a man with a slightly confused expression. The unruly young man is the closest to himself.

Countless strange memories flooded into his mind, Ji Yuenian was silent for a while, but there was a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Didn't this fourth level temporarily cover up his original memory?

Thinking of the inexplicable smile of the Xingyuan Peak Lord when he came down from Li Shixuan's carriage, Ji Yuenian figured out what was going on in a moment.

Although the fourth hurdle does not take much weight in the overall ranking of the assessment, it can clearly reflect the disciple's attitude towards the sect, which is extremely important in some respects.

Xingyuan Peak Master Li Shixuan should have been afraid that something unexpected would happen to him in this last level and he would not be able to meet his expectations, so he made some unknown tricks to prevent his memory from being temporarily erased. It is no different from cheating within the level!

"I'm fine," Ji Yuenian raised his head, and looked around the dozen or so disciples who were in the Nascent Profound Realm, "Let's go, we should go to Lin'an Town."

In this illusion, he is an old man who has returned to the original state, named Zhao Yan, and his position is the deacon of a mountain in the Outer Sect. At this time, he is leading his disciples to Lin'an Town to collect spiritual taxes.

"Yes, Deacon."

Many disciples responded one after another, and they couldn't help showing some excitement on their faces.

The young man with an unruly expression took a step forward, and whispered beside Ji Yuenian: "Cousin, this Lin'an town is so desolate that there are no people in it from a distance, is there something wrong?"

Ji Yuenian glanced at him and knew that his name was Zhao Mu, and he was a descendant of Zhao Yan's clan.

"Don't worry, just go straight into town."

Because he has the memory in him, he knows very clearly that the most important point of this trip to Lin'an Town is the collection of spiritual tax, and there will be no other variables.

"Yes, cousin."

Zhao Mu responded, and then directed to the few disciples who were left behind: "Go faster! Do you have to let the deacon wait for you!?"

Lin'an Town was extremely desolate, and most of the spiritual fields and valleys planted outside the town had withered. Even after Ji Yuenian and his party entered the town, the streets were deserted, with few people to be seen at all.

"Where is the guard of Lin'an Town!?"

Zhao Mu moved his profound energy and jumped, standing on the stone platform in the center of the town, his voice spread throughout Lin'an Town.

Rusting sounds came from all directions.

As Zhao Mu's voice fell, many pitch-black insects emerged, crawling towards Ji Yuenian and the others!

"Black beetle stone worms like to eat spiritual grains and spiritual rice the most," Ji Yuenian's cultivation base surged out, and he condensed an incomparably solid azure light curtain, looking down at those who rushed forward and rushed forward. The pitch-black worms above the light curtain, "The decline of Lin'an Town seems to have a lot to do with these black-scarred stone worms."

"The guard of Lin'an Town, I have seen Shangzhen."

A weak voice came to my ears. On a house tens of feet away, an old man lifted a tile, climbed out from the roof, and saluted Ji Yuenian and the others.

At the same time, countless sounds of tiles being lifted one after another, and after a while, all the mortals in Lin'an Town were either standing or sitting on the roof.

These people are pale and thin, and some are even dying. Some people "sit" on the roof because they don't have the strength to stand up at all. The power of fate.

Zhao Mu's complexion changed slightly, and he scolded: "You are the guard of Lin'an Town? Why did you hide the black beetle disaster in the town and not report it? You should die!"

The old man smiled wryly, and said: "Shangzhen, calm down, these pitch-black insects come and go without a trace, eating most of the Lingtian Linggu outside the town, and sometimes even eating strangers! Fortunately, they It doesn’t seem to be able to climb high, as long as you hide on the beams in the house when the insects come, you can save your life.”

"I ask you why you didn't report it! The spiritual grains and spiritual rice have all been eaten up, what should we do with the spiritual tax of the Shangzong?" Zhao Mu's face became even colder.

The guard of Lin'an Town showed bitterness, shook his head and said, "Although I left a Jade Talisman of Communication in the past, I accidentally lost the method of using the Jade Talisman, so I can't activate it at all."

He is just an ordinary mortal, and he needs a very special method to forcefully activate the Jade Talisman of Communication.

"Forget it," Ji Yue said in a young voice, "Guardian, we are here to collect spiritual taxes. According to the laws of the Taiyu Shengzong, insect plagues can be counted as a disaster. Let's exclude such factors for the time being. All you need is you. Just hand over 80% of all Linggu Lingtian in Lin'an Town for the past ten years."

Every ten years, the Taiyu Shengzong will collect 80% of the spiritual tax from the countless territories under its rule. It has been tens of thousands of years, and this is also one of the many sources of the sect's cultivation resources.

The face of the guard of Lin'an Town was even more ugly, he knelt down on the roof tremblingly, and said, "I'm really guilty, I'm guilty!"

Before Ji Yuenian could speak, Zhao Mu beside him said, "What's wrong with you?"

The guards of Lin'an Town had tears in their eyes, and wept softly: "There was an insect plague a while ago, and these pitch-black insects flooded into the town, not only devouring most of the spiritual taxes stored in the past few years, but also harming many people. life!"

Ji Yuenian frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't I just say that the plague of insects can be regarded as an accidental disaster, and the emperor only wants 80% of the remaining spiritual tax in Lin'an Town at this time."

"Shangzhen, please," the guard with trembling gray hair kowtowed on the roof, with blood dripping from his forehead, "If before the plague of insects, my Lin'an Town would have removed 80% of the spirits that had been handed over in full. In addition to taxes, the remaining spiritual rice and spiritual grain are enough for us to survive, but now it is a problem for us to survive. If Shangzhen takes away 80% of the few remaining spiritual rice, I am afraid... I am afraid Our entire town will starve to death!"

On the rest of the roofs, the townspeople also knelt down one after another, kowtowing to Ji Yuenian and the others.

"Go and collect the remaining spiritual rice, spiritual grains, and spiritual grasses in the town immediately, and count them."

Ji Yuenian shook his head, turned around and gave instructions to Zhao Mu and the others.

"Yes, Master Deacon!"

Zhao Mu and several of his disciples burst out of the mask and stepped into the densely packed pitch-black sea of ​​insects with profound strength or profound energy around them.

These bugs can eat ordinary people, but they have nothing to do with the burning creatures, they are just a little disgusting.

Among the remaining disciples, a beautiful young girl in red showed a look of impatience, she didn't move forward, but stepped forward to Ji Yuenian and said: "Master Deacon, it seems that they don't have many left. Linggu, how about we take less this time, help them eradicate the insect plague, and make up for it in the next ten years."

Ji Yuenian glanced at her sideways, his mind spinning.

Disobedience and disobedience, this woman has violated the clan rules, this is obviously a trap.

If you follow his advice, then your evaluation within this fourth level will definitely drop sharply!

"presumptuous!"

Ji Yuenian's profound energy from the Realm of Returning to Truth violently swept over Ji Yuenian's body, and rolled directly onto the girl in red!

boom!
