Tiandao doesn't work today

Linqu City, the seat of Beihai County.

Yan Nu suppressed his aura, took back his dragon and horse, and walked toward the city gate with his spear on his back.

I saw Zhuangzi outside the city gate, with rice seedlings everywhere and rich soil and water.

Since the demise of the Tufa clan, the haze that had been devastated by barbarians has been swept away.

People are coming and going on the road, and the flow is endless. The flow of business has been restored, and it is very prosperous.

As for the calamity of the Demon Kingdom, it has not affected this place. There are monsters all over Qingzhou, but this place is like a paradise.

There was even more traffic at the gate of the city. People were transporting grain and local goods in large bags and small carts. They seemed to be going to the city for sale. It can be seen that the output of farmers and weavers was not small.

But wherever Yan Nu passed by, he saw that the people were still sallow and thin, and their clothes were ragged.

Is it possible that despite being so rich in food, we still don’t have enough to eat?

"There is a garden next to the Governor's Mansion. As far as I know, the Golden Horn is in that garden..." Zhu Jingang whispered.

Yan Nu looked at the center of the city, and there was indeed a large garden there. Many workers were hunched over, transporting materials and decorating under the supervision of warriors.

Obviously the garden has not yet been completed, but it is already extremely luxurious and magnificent.

Everyone took a closer look at the garden. The elegant pavilions, carved dragons and painted buildings, the clear water and shining flowers, were much more luxurious than the Zhang family's mansion in Hua County.

"I can't sense the cave you mentioned at all." Several immortals were at a loss. They knew that the golden-horned demon was here, but they couldn't find it.

He knew that the cave was hidden in the garden, but he didn't know how to open it.

"Forget it, let's enter the city first," Zhang Pijiang said.

Yan Nu took the lead and walked into the city. Only a group of soldiers and military attachés stopped at the city gate to collect taxes.

In addition to the head tax, there is also a "supporting opera tax".

"What is this?" Yan Nu was confused.

The soldier said scornfully: "You don't even know Fuxi? This is the way passed down from the ancient saint ancestor Fuxi to protect the country and the people!"

Good guy, he opened his mouth and it was Saint Ancestor Fuxi, instantly silencing Yan Nu and even several immortals.

Huang Banyun, on the other hand, traveled around the world in the past and worked as an official at the bottom. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "But what about the evil spirits ritual?"

"Every year on Shangsi Day, we offer sacrifices at the waterside to wash away dirt and eliminate the ominous 'evil-eliminating sacrifice'?"

The soldier nodded: "It's good that you know, but now it's not a once-a-year sacrifice."

"There are monsters everywhere in Qingzhou. In Linqu City, the monsters don't dare to step into the ground. Do you know why?"

"Because the governor improved the method of worshiping gods, it is also called Fuluan to invite immortals. According to the law, gods can be invited to the body to show people good or bad luck, to eliminate evil and pray for blessings."

"If the officials and famous people in the city practice this practice frequently, they will perform a small sacrifice every three days and a big sacrifice every seven days. Only then can they protect the land and water, so that there will be no demons and monsters, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

"Now that you have entered this city, you have been blessed by the Tai Sui God and have benefited a lot. This is all due to the governor's support of the opera. The support ceremony is very expensive, and of course you have to pay taxes."

Everyone finally understood that the officials and scholars in this city actually used metaphysics to govern the country.

Yan Nu didn't react at all, but Yu Yangzi sneered: "Literature officials have no experience in learning and do not manage government affairs. They indulge in worshiping the god Fuluan all day long and abandon officials to govern the people's livelihood."

"How dare you create a clever name and use it to collect taxes. This is the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Hearing this Yan slave said in shock, "Huh? Is this thing useless?"

Yu Yangzi said firmly: "If you are praying for good weather and clearing away the epidemic, it may be of some use. It depends on the conscience of the god."

"But asking gods to take over is nonsense. Since the Jedi's heavenly power, righteous gods cannot easily descend to the earth, let alone take possession of mortals. This will result in heaven's punishment."

However, his words caused ridicule from all the soldiers.

Even some people were panicked and said, "You old fisherman, don't talk nonsense. How can the gods be punished by heaven?"

"Fu Xi is very effective. Many people in the city have learned this method. All you need to do is prepare a wooden plate filled with fine sand, insert the ji pen on it, and recite in your mouth that the Tai Sui spirit will be attached to you, and you will be able to hold the ji pen uncontrollably. The ground writes on the sand table.”

"That is a revelation from the gods, which can help you seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and predict misfortunes and fortunes."

"Moreover, in the past, there was no response to prayers from the gods, and there were countless disasters and famines. Now, as long as you pay the tax to support the opera and worship the gods in front of the officials, the Tai Sui God often appears and blesses the place with good weather, good harvests, and health. How dare you not pay the taxes."

Yu Yangzi was stunned. Of course he knew that the people were not telling lies. Could this method really be effective?

He immediately activated his magical powers and quickly learned countless things in the city, making his face look ugly.

"It's actually true...how is it possible? Could it be a loophole in Jedi Sky Tong?"

"Is this Tai Sui God the one who was canonized by the First Emperor?"

"Damn it, I'm already a heaven-defying immortal, and Heaven won't help me open the door to the divine world."

Yuyangzi said secretly, wanting to try to ask in the God Realm.

But it's a pity that in the past, he could go to the God Realm whenever he wanted, and the gods would have to give him face, but now he can't.

Like Zhang Bijiang, he has completely become an immortal supported by Yan Slave. Although this is beyond the control of heaven, even if heaven is gone, immortals like them can still exist.

But there are also drawbacks, that is, some abilities that depend on identity are no longer effective.

It is no longer possible to go to the God Realm whenever you want, and the gods will not give them face.

"What Tai Sui God? I don't believe it, please show him to me!" Yan Nu shouted honestly.

Everyone laughed, yes, no matter whether he is a true god or not, do they still care?

What kind of evil star is Yan Nu Xing Tian? Those things like gods are not meant to be killed individually, but to be destroyed based on the clan!

The three emperors and great gods have all been sealed, and the Tai Sui God has the guts to actually come to Xing Tian!

But how do the soldiers know this?

Seeing Yan Nu's rude words, he said angrily: "How dare you disrespect God?"

"This place protected by the gods cannot allow you to act arrogantly."

"Either you pay taxes and enter the city, or get out. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will put you in jail!"

The soldier's voice was full of anger and very majestic.

However, he was angry, and Yan Nu was even more angry: "Don't you know how to invite gods? Call that god, and I will hand it over to him myself!"

After saying this, the soldiers were so stupid that they still dared to shout at God, asking for death?

But how can they ask God? Then he turned around and used laws to suppress people.

"The Fuxi Tax was established by the Governor at the request of the imperial court. It is a national tax! Do you want to rebel? Take it!"

Many soldiers drew their swords, which made the people around them tremble in fear, and they all advised: "Young man, I see that you are well-dressed, and you are not short of this little money. You must not resist the tax, otherwise you will be punished by the gods."

Yan Nu frowned and said, "Since this god has blessed this place with good weather and good weather, why are everyone still looking sallow and thin?"

The people were speechless and looked bitter.

Although the weather is good, the products are abundant, and there is no threat from monsters, even Xiaoxiao is afraid of the gods and the public security is good. Speaking of such a good place, others will simply envy it.

Many of them migrated from other nearby counties after hearing about the benefits here.

Everything was as rumored, there was no trouble here, the soil and water were fertile, they worked hard, and their output was several times that of before.

However, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the corvee and taxation here are also extremely heavy.

The official sacrifices were made again and again, and the Shilin gods were visited again and again. Each time the battle was huge, and this was necessary for the sanctuary of the gods. Therefore, there were countless types of taxation and labor, and there were many clever names.

In the end, they still had nothing to gain. They were hungry and full. They worked hard every day, building roads and bridges, and smelting and weaving. They were miserable.

The flowers blooming here have nothing to do with them.

But in front of the soldiers, how could the people dare to say this?

He just said: "There are no monsters here, there is no plague, and the bandits are all extinct. We don't have to worry about endangering our lives. This is a rare blessed place!"

"How can you not know what is good or bad and still want to have a shiny face? If Tai Sui knows that we are so greedy, his life will be shortened."

"..." Yan Nu was stunned.

I saw that people's hearts were filled with sadness, and the faces of the people were filled with fear.

Yu Yangzi couldn't stand listening: "What a joke! When do you think you don't know what is good if you just want to have a full meal?"

Yan Nu gritted his teeth, and harsh government was as fierce as a tiger. He had truly experienced this. And the governor here has the endorsement of the gods and can protect the land and water, so he is obviously even more arrogant.

What kind of heavy oppression can make people feel that they are blessed just to be alive?

The government might still be able to resist, but if the gods add to the government, don't even think about it. So much so that people are afraid of shortening their lifespan even if they don't think too much.

"What a joke!" Yan Nu suddenly grabbed the soldier: "It's that Governor Gou again, right?"

"More than half of the disasters in Qingzhou are caused by him. This man is not dead, but he is still protected by the gods?"

"I will get rid of him today."

After saying that, Huang Banyun immediately flashed a high-density military order next to him.

Kill him directly, that is the action of a ranger, the name is not justified, and the words are not justified. Now that Gaomi has Miaohan Chiqing in charge, they still have to get the official status from Gou Xi.

Gou Xi is in charge of Qingzhou's military formation. If he gets some official status, Chi Qing can legitimately take over all parts of Qingzhou.

Seeing the military order at this moment, the soldiers did not dare to make mistakes. It was the general order of the Chang family army.

"It turns out he's a general from Gaomi. Wait... eh? You, a young general under the prefect, dare to speak rudely to the governor? Even if your eunuch comes, you can't be presumptuous!"

They were very confused. Although the Chang family army dominated Qingzhou, it was still nominally suppressed by Gou Xi.

Because the news did not spread quickly, they did not know that the Chang family had been replaced. A group of people forcibly elected a sixth-grade scholar named Chi Qing to succeed him as the prefect.

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, an armored general came from outside the city with a group of warriors on horseback.

"The supporting opera team has returned from picking orchids outside the city. We were ordered to clear the way. The rest of the gang quickly retreated to block the standing chop!"

The cavalry team shouted and looked solemn.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stand there anymore, and drove the people to the two sides like sheep. Some people could not avoid it, and were kicked and dragged by the soldiers.

The cavalry team did not stop for a moment, holding high the flag, and rushed straight to the city gate.

It seems that slowing down is disrespectful to the gods.

Behind them, a group of children from aristocratic families, dressed in gorgeous clothes, rode in a four-horse carriage, returning from a trip.

Their team was huge, with thousands of servants, and they were very arrogant and ostentatious. They held high flags of various colors and had various sacrificial vessels.

There is even a statue of a god, wearing a battle robe, holding a broadsword, with majestic and angry eyes, and golden horns on his head.

"Among the Tai Sui gods, is there this one?" Yu Yangzi recalled.

The Tai Sui God is responsible for the misfortunes and blessings of the world. There are sixty of them, all of whom were canonized by the First Emperor.

All of them are loyal sages from ancient times. Some of them have strange appearances, but I haven't heard of any of them with golden horns on their heads.

"Is this the monster image?" Xiu Yanggong asked.

Zhu Jingang lowered his head and responded: "Yes, yes, yes."

Zhang Bijiang looked strange and said: "Huh? This monster actually steals incense from the human world and wants to become a god!"

…

p.s: Sorry.
