the first emperor

Chapter 758

Zhang Gensheng and Zhang Xiaoshun secretly admired the words, Mr. Xi is really not simple, he has already judged that someone behind the scenes is instructing the wild beast to surround the village, but unfortunately the person behind the scenes did not show up that day, they were very cautious, otherwise Mrs. Xi might be able to help them That person except.

"In fact, our grandparents came here because of this." Zhang Gensheng bowed deeply: "The villain behind the murder of our village is still lurking in the dark and staring at our village, ready to strike again at any time."

"You want me to take action to get rid of the person behind the scenes?" Xi Qianye said indifferently.

"If Mr. Xi can help our village get rid of this serious trouble, our village will be grateful, everyone up and down, but if you have something to say, don't dare to refuse.

Zhang Gensheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his eyes full of pleading.Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshun quickly knelt on the ground, his eyes full of expectation.The traitor who intends to murder their village will not die, and their village will hardly be peaceful.

"If you do it smoothly, it's nothing to help you get rid of the hidden dangers. Unfortunately, that person has been hidden in the mountains, and it is not easy to find him."

Xi Qianye said calmly.

The Muzhen Spiritual Land is different from other places. It not only suppresses the body of the monk, the gravity is a thousand times higher, but also suppresses the spiritual power of the monk. Even a monk at the half-emperor level can only cover a radius of ten miles in the Muzhen Spiritual Land. .Xi Qianye's mental power is stronger than that of ordinary half-emperor monks, but it can only cover a radius of thirty miles.

It can be said that as long as that person does not appear, it is quite difficult to find him.

Zhang Gensheng and Zhang Xiaoshun turned pale when they heard the words, they were in the light, and the traitor was in the dark, they were indeed very passive.

"Master Xi, I heard from Xiao Shun'er that you plan to go to the city of Mortis, the city-state of the Kuza tribe. I wonder if you can take a few people from our village with you." Zhang Gensheng asked cautiously.

Xi Qianye looked at him meaningfully when he heard the words: "The people behind the scenes are eyeing your village, so they should ask for something, right?"

Obviously, the purpose of Village Chief Zhang was to follow him to Mortis, the city-state of the Kuza tribe. As for finding out who was behind the scenes and getting rid of them, it was not realistic after all.

Hearing this, Village Chief Zhang trembled, his eyes were filled with fear, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and said, "I am dissatisfied with Mr. Xi, that traitor is eyeing our village because of a treasure."

"Oh, what kind of treasure, your broken village will also have treasure?"

Standing on Xi Qianye's shoulder, Hu Sanyin's eyes lit up when he heard about the treasure, but soon he looked at Village Chief Zhang suspiciously.In a dilapidated village, it is difficult to eat normally, and they can only struggle hard in the mountains to survive. No one believes that they have any treasures.

After living in the village for a few days, Xi Qianye has a talking bird on his shoulder, and the people in the village have long been familiar with it. Village head Zhang said with a wry smile: "Master Hu, it's a long story. Speaking of a month ago..."

Zhang Xiaoshun looked at the strange bird on Xi Qianye's shoulder strangely, it was really strange that a bird was named Tiger.

It turned out that a month ago, Zhang Gensheng led the hunters in the village to hunt in the mountains to prepare food for the winter. As a result, the desolate beasts were not hunted successfully, but they accidentally picked up a blood-red stone in a deep valley.Although Zhang Gensheng didn't know what the blood-red stone was, he could tell with his sharp eyes that it was not simple.

So he took the blood-red stone to the city-state of the Kuza tribe to find a professional appraiser for appraisal, and the final appraisal result was a blood-smoke stone. This kind of blood-smoke stone has no practical value for human monks, but It is the beast tamer's baby.If the animal trainer has a blood smoke stone, then the ability of animal taming will be greatly improved, and it will be easier to attract powerful wild beasts to take the bait.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Gensheng and the others were targeted by an animal trainer living in the tribal city-state of Kuza. , trying to spend a little money to buy the Blood Smoke Stone.

Zhang Gensheng and the others are not stupid, how could they agree.Although the blood smoke stone is useless to ordinary monks, it is a treasure for animal trainers, and it is quite rare.If a blood smoke stone finds the right buyer, it can be sold for a very high price.

"It turned out to be just a blood smoke stone."

Hu Sanyin shook his head in disappointment when he heard the words. He liked the stone wild beasts the most, but as the ancient nine evils, he naturally didn't like the things that ordinary wild beasts liked.

"It's a crime to conceive jade." Xi Qianye said flatly.

Zhang Gensheng smiled wryly after hearing the words: "My lord, we are not greedy for money. If at other times, the blood smoke stone was snatched away by the animal trainer, there would be no need for a death feud. But the situation in our village is not as good as before. The taxes that have been owed for three years have not been paid, and if the taxes are not paid, everyone in our village will be imprisoned and taken as slave labor."

The so-called tax is an obligatory expenditure that all members of the federal state should pay.

In fact, it is said to be an obligation, and it is also a compulsory collection of money. If anyone fails to pay, he will be imprisoned.

For the human race in Muzhen Lingtu, the smallest group living unit is the village, above the village is the walled city, and above the walled city is the tribe.

Of course, there are also differences in size between tribes.

Small tribes depend on large tribes to survive, and large tribes depend on larger tribes to survive.

Like Zhang Gensheng's village, it is attached to a small tribe and must accept the jurisdiction of that small tribe, and at the same time pay a certain amount of taxes regularly.It is said that it is tax, but it is actually called protection fee. It is extremely arrogant and unreasonable. It is no different from robbery. If the village fails to pay the protection fee, it will often end extremely miserable.This is what is called a powerful society.

Zhang Gensheng's village lives in a bitterly cold place, and the past few years have been quite difficult. Sometimes his stomach is not full, so there is no money left to pay taxes.

So Zhang Gensheng's village is not greedy for money, they are desperate, they have no other way, and they regard the blood smoke stone as the only life-saving straw.If the blood smoke stone was sold, maybe they would have the money to pay taxes, and would not be caught as slave labor, living in darkness for the rest of their lives, never having a bright future.

"So, you are going to the city-state of Mortis to sell the Blood Smoke Stone?" Xi Qianye said calmly.

"Master Xi, our village is also desperate. Compared with the villain hiding in the dark, the laws of the Federation are actually more terrifying."

Zhang Gensheng said with a wry smile, the tyranny is as fierce as a tiger. Living in a world of power, the people at the bottom will always be the most difficult.
