Chapter 159 Traveling around the world

The short old man tremblingly described the terrain ahead, took out a pen and paper, and drew a map.

"What are these potholes?"

"The big ones are lakes and the small ones are ponds. It's quite clear."

"What's that twisted thing?"

"Where the mountains go."

"What about these rocks?"

"One stone is a village, two stones are a town, three stones are a city, four stones are a sect, and five stones are a family."

"What about this twisted stone?"

"Isn't this the shape of an ingot? The silver ingot is the location of Fucheng."

"What about the orange one?"

"This is gold..." the short old man said in a dull voice: "This is a gold ingot, which symbolizes the incense temple and the locations of the gods everywhere."

"How about..." Lu Wan was silent for a moment and said, "Can you mark it with words?"

"..."

The little old man thought to himself: "Isn't it obvious at a glance? Does this master of Xuantian Temple have bad eyesight? I heard that the way of heaven is fair. He is extremely talented in cultivation, but his eyesight is inferior to ordinary people. It is fair..."

"What's your look?"

Lu Wan said expressionlessly.

Bai Yuan came closer and said, "He seems to be pitying the disabled old man."

Immediately after realizing it, Bai Yuan got angry and said: "What do you think? Do you think my master has been maimed? This is simply unreasonable..."

Bang!

Lu Wan slapped it over.

The short old man quickly lowered his head, marked the locations on the terrain map, and gave the names in detail.

"Master Lu..."

He gingerly held the terrain map in his hands and handed it over.

Lu Wan slowly took it and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Then this little old man, if he was granted amnesty, kowtowed quickly, turned into smoke, and disappeared among the ground.

"Master, are you going to let him go now? With your ruthlessness, even if we don't kill him, we will have to dig out his eyes!"

"Shut up!"

Lu Wan said calmly: "Most of the gods in the Ziyang Domain have people or gods behind them. For example, Liu Ce, the domain master, let his Hanyin Fish replace the original Shuhe Old Fish... But this guy is There are only a few serious gods.”

Lu Wan had heard about this old man's deeds.

An ordinary old man who did good deeds and accumulated good deeds died at a long life and was deeply loved by the local people.

That year, when the old prince Li Yitu was in office, he personally ordered this kind old man to build a piece of land here.

For more than two hundred years, the weather here has been good and the people are stable.

He didn't do any great things during his lifetime, but he did small good deeds, accumulated small virtues, and was deeply respected... After his death, he became a god, and he didn't have any great achievements, but he did it bit by bit and ensured peace and stability.

"It would be great if all the gods in the world were like him."

Lu Wan laughed and said, "I summoned him today, firstly to ask for directions, and secondly to meet him."

"Master, do you want to promote him?"

"almost."

"The City God of Ziyang Domain?"

"He is just an ordinary person, and now he is also an ordinary god. His abilities are limited and he cannot be the City God of the entire Ziyang Domain."

Lu Wan said: "But it is appropriate to hand over Fenghe County to him for management."

When the white ape heard this, he couldn't help but feel downcast.

The big black dog came closer and barked twice, with mocking eyes.

The general idea is: "You want to be a city god? Or commit suicide and let me make you one?"

"Bah! I just thought of my second uncle..."

White Ape sighed and said: "The old man died early, and his soul was probably eaten clean. Otherwise, with his old man's political wisdom, profound knowledge, and intelligence that is almost as good as mine, he would not be able to be the City God of Ziyang Territory." Is Zhuozhuo enough?"

"That's more than enough!"

Lu Wan rubbed his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that it was a wrong choice for him to bring the monkey and the dog.

There is no peace of mind along the way.

-

Entering the location of the Southern Spiritual Realm.

One person, one ape and one dog, walked forward.

"Master, can't you fly? After practicing to the level of making a tripod, using magic power, you can already walk through the air..."

"Then it shouldn't consume mana?"

"Earlier, the master said that he went down the mountain to hone his skills? Isn't it good to hone his magic power?" Bai Yuan asked.

"Master, my magic power has a solid foundation and a rich foundation, which is lower than that of the God of Refining... I think there is no one in this world who can make a tripod who can compare with me." Lu Wan said calmly: "The main purpose of this training is for Refine your heart.”

"No wonder the master took us on foot. This time he even left the carriage in Kaiyang Mountain." Bai Yuan grumbled, thinking it would be better to take the carriage.

"You are an ape! And you were wild before!" Lu Wan glanced at it and said, "You still hate walking now?"

"Isn't this already married and raised?" Bai Yuan said in a dull voice: "They say it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality...it's just human nature."

"You're quite good at making excuses." After Lu Wan said this, he couldn't help but be startled and said, "Your conversation has really improved recently."

"Of course it is. I have been busy lately. I train soldiers during the day, think about the development of various ministries in Kaiyang Mountain in the evening, and stay up late reading at night."

Bai Yuan patted his chest and said: "Now I am not a stupid guy, I am truly brave and brave!"

The big black dog's eyes were full of ridicule.

Then there was another white monkey vs. black dog.

-

Near Willow Village.

This place falls under the jurisdiction of Kanbaru Castle.

As for Shenyuan City, it is the second largest city in the Southern Spiritual Territory after the main city.

This village does not look too small, with thousands of people living there.

Lu Wan, alone, accompanied by a monkey and a dog, attracted quite a lot of attention. He wanted to stay overnight in the village, but every household was wary.

Until Lu Wan took out a piece of silver.

There were several families vying to be the first to take in this man, ape and dog.

Lu Wan randomly picked a house and stayed there for one night.

It's night time.

Dark and vast.

Lu Wan sat in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.

"Why did the master suddenly wake up and want to stay in the village?"

"I have been thinking that according to legend, there are three realms, the heaven above, the underworld below, and this is the human world."

Lu Wan said in a complicated tone: "The human world...the real human world..."

He said quietly: "I haven't understood this real human world for a long time."

Before he traveled through time, he was an ordinary person.

But that era was completely different from the era of this world.

The crazy Taoist boy in this world was a native of Shendu when he was young. Later, his family fell into decline and he moved south.

When he was young, he entered the Xuantian Temple and was chosen as a Taoist boy by the headmaster's side. In this way, one is considered a cultivator, not a person in the world.

When he traveled through time, he became the headmaster of Xuantian Temple.

"When I came to this world, I stood too high from the beginning, as if I was on a cloud and didn't know my foundation."

Lu Wan said: "After traveling all this way, it's time to take a look at the real human world."

Before his voice fell, he had already raised his head and looked ahead.

There was a lot of noise there, gradually coming in and getting closer.

Bang!

The courtyard door was kicked open!

Two official servants came in, holding knives at their waists and looking high-spirited.

"Lord..."

The host hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "What's going on? Didn't you pay the tax yesterday?"

"Yesterday, there were more than twenty people in your village who didn't pay taxes. They arrested men and went to build the city. Only one of them died, and three of them ran away in fear."

The officer kicked him over and said expressionlessly: "The big boss in the city is very angry. This time he is specifically watching your village and handing over those three people! And... your village's taxes must be paid again." !”

"Poor Master, I have been farming for a year and only have a few coins. I first paid taxes once, and then paid twice for temple construction... I am already overwhelmed now. I'm afraid I'll pay again at the end of the year. I can't even survive it!" The host immediately turned pale with fright.

"Is it none of my business?" the official said angrily: "This is what the big boss above wants, and the construction of two temples this year was ordered by Si Tianjian from the capital city. If you don't pay for it, the big boss will?"

"Zhou Laosan, I am also from the neighboring village, and we all know each other." At this moment, the official next to him said: "You still have a daughter, isn't she unmarried? The temple is about to be completed recently. Choose boys and girls, offer them to the gods, and serve them by your side!"

"This is a great blessing." The official officer's face softened a little, and then he said: "Your daughter was sold to a brothel for the price of tax... Now she has gone to the temple, and she has no worries about food and clothing. It’s also a blessing from God, and it exempts you from taxes, which is a good thing.”

"They are all old guys who died once, and they still need to choose someone to serve them?"

At this moment, a faint voice sounded and said: "The gods should protect one party, not the common people! He doesn't even understand this. Who gave him the title of god?"

"Bold! How dare you talk about the gods!"

The official suddenly drew his sword and shouted loudly.

Another official suddenly held his shoulders, raised a smile on his lips, and said: "This man looks unfamiliar, and there is a faceless person next to him. You are not from this village!"

"Zhou Laosan, could he be your illegitimate son?"

The official just now sneered: "You still have a dog? It seems that it's not that you don't have money, but that you don't want to hand it over!"

"Forget it, let's take the dog back and eat it. We will help you destroy the evidence of your crime and save you the tax on raising a dog."

Another official said: "But these two, plus the recharged share, there are still three taxes! Zhou Laosan, this time you are not only selling your daughter, you also have to sell your mother-in-law..."

"..."

The host collapsed on the ground, his face was pale, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Lu Wan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "We are all at the bottom of the world, and you think you are superior because you have a little more power?"

"With such a small amount of power, you want to use all the evil within your ability to force others to die?"

"Selling your daughter, selling your wife, such a tragic situation, can't you feel any sympathy at all?"

"Yes, although these tragic situations are caused by pressure from the top, they are also the work of you lackeys."

"The bottom class of the world is suffering so much. Is this the current Daqian Dynasty?"

He had a vague realization and waved his hand.

Immediately, an ape and a dog pounced on him.

Lu Wan glanced at his master who fell to the ground, took the hatchet from the yard and threw it over.

"They're going to kill you."

"Go up and kill them."

"I'll make sure you're fine."

I saw the owner tremblingly picking up the hatchet. His whole body was shaking and his face was pale. He couldn't hold the knife and dropped it.

Lu Wan shook his head slightly. When he first moved in, he saw this man chopping firewood with a steady and powerful wrist.

But now, facing two officials who had no power to fight back, they didn't dare to take action.

After all, what we are facing is the government!

The majesty of the government is deeply rooted in people's hearts!

It cannot be broken overnight!

"Was it like this in the past?" Lu Wan asked.

"The past..." the man said in a daze, "the past can survive."

"I can't survive now."

Lu Wan looked in the direction of Shendu and whispered: "When did it start?"

It seems like it started a long time ago.

But it seems to have only started this year.

The Imperial Preceptor once rectified these things, treated the people well, and reduced taxes, which offended many powerful people.

But during the years that the Imperial Master has been in office, he should be living a relatively good life... at least, he can survive!

But now, Yaohu has become the national master and seems to have changed many previous rules and laws.

It is even more terrifying than before the real national master took office.

"I only know that the demon tiger has replaced the national master."

"I also know that the demon tiger wants to bring trouble to the court."

"I also know that the demon tiger not only poses a threat to me, but also has an impact on the entire Daqian Dynasty."

"But I didn't expect that just the two temples he randomly decided after taking over the Si Tianjian could worsen the situation to this point."

"In the past, no matter how hard the people were, they could at least have three meals a day to survive, but now they can no longer survive."

"This is just an ordinary village in the Southern Spiritual Realm, so what about other places?"

Thinking of this, Lu Wan straightened his clothes, walked out of the courtyard, and said, "Go to Fucheng and talk to the old man."

"What about the two temples?"

"Tread flat."

"What about the two gods?"

"If they don't know the inside story, just beat them up."

"What if they know the inside story?"

"Hit it hard."

"understand!"

The white ape took out the great virtue battle ax and said: "Conquer people with virtue! Conquer gods with virtue! I'll knock their brains out when I turn around!"

Lu Wan said expressionlessly: "They have no body and can't knock out their brains. It's enough to knock them out."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The big black dog expressed dissatisfaction and thought that he had been hungry for a long time recently.

Seeing this, Lu Wan said with a smile: "Knock it into pieces, it tastes good... Knock off the people's fat and people's ointment on them, so as not to make them sick after eating."

As he said this, his magic power began to circulate and he stood up suddenly.

"Didn't the master say walking?"

"I'm not afraid of walking slowly, but..."

Lu Wan looked back and said, "But if we solve it earlier, we can save many people."

As soon as his voice fell, he turned into a escaping light and headed towards Shenyuan City.
