This god is really evil

Chapter 42: Worship and Donation

Li Yan clenched his fist and suddenly punched in the air, immediately making a low sound of breaking through the air.

In the Qi and Blood realm, what is being strengthened is the Qi and blood strength; in the Tendon and Bone realm, what is being strengthened are the tendons, bones, and membranes.

He could now feel that when he was in the Qi and Blood State, his blood was like mercury slurry, rushing in his blood vessels and giving him a burning sensation. But now, heat was constantly pouring out from his bones and tendons.

The strength of bones and tendons has been improved to a higher level!
However, after breaking through to the muscle and bone realm, his martial arts path temporarily reached its peak.

Unless there is another precious medicine like Medicine King Ginseng to swallow, otherwise, he can only wait for Niu Ma to be promoted to the Muscle and Bone Realm and practice the Muscle and Bone Realm exercises to the entry level.

Alternatively, you can open a new believer position and directly accept a believer in the Muscle and Bone Realm.

Niu Niu, come on! If not, work overtime at night to practice and reach the tendon and bone realm as soon as possible, so that I can also break through soon...

After secretly encouraging Niu Ma, Li Yan fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, he was awakened by the vibration in his soul.

The information on Niu Ma's believer's seat on the lotus throne was updated again:
[Niu Ma]: [Qi and blood four levels]

This kid actually practiced for a whole night and improved his energy and blood to a higher level!

Good boy!
Keep working hard, and I will be able to ascend to heaven by the end of the year!
Li Yan got up and stretched, then he saw a letter on the floor at the door, which had been stuffed directly through the crack in the door.

He picked up the letter and saw the words "Burn after reading" written in large letters on the envelope.

The letter was left to him by the saint, and its content was concise and to the point.

He was only told to return to the charity cemetery and wait for instructions.

If you have other needs, you can contact the followers of the Yuhua Society according to the instructions in the secret book.

In addition, there were six gold leaves in the envelope, which added up to three taels.

In terms of the gold and silver conversion unit of the Great Qi Dynasty, it was equivalent to thirty taels of silver.

Li Yan instantly felt like he was being kept.

He was given money and pills, and could be transferred to another place at a critical moment. If the other party had not made it clear that they were going to burn him to death in a few days, Li Yan felt that it would be quite good to stay in Yuhua.

They speak nicely, are all talented, and it feels like home.

He collected the gold leaves, the fire falcon feathers, and the Qi and Blood Pill, which were the tokens of the Holy Son, and kept them close to his body. He also memorized the communication method in the secret book. Then, Li Yan took the fire starter next to him and burned the letter and the secret book together to ashes.

Just then, there was the sound of footsteps, followed by Niu Ma knocking on the door and shouting:
"Brother Li, Brother Li, are you still there?"

Li Yan opened the door and saw Niu Ma, who looked nervous at the moment. He was obviously relieved after seeing him.

"Brother Niu, what's wrong?"

Niu Ma pointed to the building in the Fox Fairy Temple and said quickly:
"I was practicing the whole night and didn't pay much attention to the noise outside. Just now, when I saw the daybreak, I wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air, but I found that all the people and furnishings from yesterday were gone! I thought I was dreaming, so I hurried to find you. Fortunately, you are still here..."

Niu Ma said with lingering fear, then suddenly remembered something and said to Li Yan sincerely:

"Brother Li, thank you for the precious medicine you gave me last night. It is so valuable and has helped me a lot..."

Li Yan smiled and waved his hand, and said sincerely:

"It's okay, Brother Niu. My bones are too weak, so it would be a waste if I ate it. It's just right for you to eat it."

Having said that, he pushed the door open and walked out, taking a stroll in the Fox Fairy Temple.

The Fox Fairy Temple, which had gathered hundreds of Yuhua Society believers last night, was now empty.

Not only that, there was no trace of the sacrifice held in the main hall last night.

Not even a single burnt feather or drop of blood was left behind. Moreover, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor of the Fox Fairy Temple, and the collapsed and shattered statues and altars were covered with broken spider webs.

No one could imagine that a ritual of ascension was held here last night.

I just think that this place has fallen into disrepair and no one has been here for many years.

The metamorphosis is done beautifully to hide the traces.

But think about it, they have been able to develop for so long under the nose of the government, the most basic confidentiality work should be very solid.

"Brother Niu, let's just treat last night as a dream... I'm going back to the charity cemetery. Where are you going next? What does your godfather say?" Li Yan said calmly.

Niu Ma was stunned, then said:

"My foster father left me a letter, asking me to live in Zhou's mansion, saying that we would be a family from now on... I... I don't know what to do..."

Li Yan nodded and said:

"It's a good thing that the village head thinks so highly of you. This opportunity is rare, so you must seize it. Brother Niu, let's say goodbye now. I'm going back to the charity cemetery first."

Hearing this, Niu Ma couldn't help but reveal a look of reluctance. He was a little hesitant for a moment, as if he didn't know whether he should go to Zhou's house.

In any case, he was just a seventeen-year-old boy. Although he had suffered a lot of misfortunes and encountered many setbacks, he was a little spineless at this time.

Li Yan said seriously:
"Brother Niu, we all work hard outside on our own. No one can be relied on except for our own abilities. Since you have this opportunity, you should seize it and improve your abilities first."

You should smoke with this cheap godfather for as many days as you can. You should seize the opportunity, otherwise you may not be able to smoke next time.

Niu Ma nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Li!"

After hearing what Li Yan said, he became resolute again. Then he clasped his fists to Li Yan and said goodbye, then turned and left the Fox Fairy Temple, heading towards the direction of the village head Zhou's house.

Li Yan had a rare moment of free time at this time. After coming out of the Fox Fairy Temple, he found that it was on the edge of the town, not far from his home.

I have been away from home for a few days. Last time, I rescued my eldest brother Li Lin from those thieves. The mastermind behind the scenes, Zhan Yupeng, has also passed away. I wonder how my eldest brother is recovering?
I'd just take this opportunity to go back and take a look.

It’s still early. My eldest brother should not have gone to work at Fu Ren Tang yet. I also don’t know if my eldest sister-in-law Hu Yue’e has fermented the new hemp and is spinning it at home.

Li Yan left the Fox Fairy Temple and walked along the main road towards the town.

The sun had just risen and some farmers who lived on the outskirts of town were already walking towards the fields, preparing to work.

But all these people had sad looks on their faces. None of them looked happy. Some even had bruised faces and bloody heads.

Li Yan walked along and suddenly saw that some of his neighbors' courtyard doors had fallen to the ground, and looking inside seemed to be in a mess.

There were also faint cries coming from some courtyards.

He frowned slightly, vaguely guessing something.

When I arrived outside my own courtyard, I happened to meet my neighbor Dong Bo who was standing outside the door looking into the courtyard.

Seeing Li Yan appear, Dong Bo couldn't help showing a trace of surprise and said:

"Xiao Yan, why did you come back today? Is the school on holiday? This... this is not the right time..."

Li Yan quickened his pace and frowned:

"Dong Bo, what happened?"

Dong Bo sighed and said:

"Today, the county tax officer brought tax collectors to collect taxes. As soon as the sun rose, he came all the way from Yishui Lane to collect taxes. He said that the court had issued a new decree and that we had to pay some new 'worship donation', also known as the 'five donations', for the five gods. The money was collected per person, two taels of silver per person! If you can't pay, your house will be confiscated on the spot... I just entered your yard."
