Xuanqian nodded, "Amitabha, this can be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people."
"No, it's the city lord's own pocket," the old man said with a smile. "There are regulations on the money in the treasury. Only part of it can be used to relieve the demons every year."
"Isn't this more demons and less money?"
"It is said that in the beginning, those who worked in sheltering demons were able to get tax exemptions, but later they were not reduced, and everyone was rushing to get them."
"Why is this?"
"The demons have many honest tribes who are willing to work hard and are easy to raise. They can live in a large shop, wear whatever they want, and have wine and meat. Then the demons can also provide spiritual energy coins, which is extra income.
"
"Aura coins?"
Xuanqi knew what the spiritual energy coins were, but he had never used them. However, when he came out this time, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded some of them.
The father-in-law misunderstood, "By the way, it is said that Nanfangbuzhou was the cause of the war. Each force minted spirit stone coins, and the good and bad were mixed. Later, gold and silver were used."
Xuan Qian knew this, "Indeed, the world is unified now, but everyone is used to using gold and silver, so they haven't changed."
The old man took out the spiritual energy coin and said, "This is the spiritual energy coin, also called a spiritual coin. The one without spiritual energy is called a spiritual coin shell. Put the spiritual energy into the spiritual coin shell and you will get a spiritual coin."
"For ordinary people, the amount of spiritual energy that can be produced in a lifetime is only hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins. However, the demon clan is an expert at swallowing spiritual energy, otherwise it would be difficult to become a demon."
Xuan Yan took it, looked at it, and then returned it, "Is the spirit coin valuable?"
"No, how should I put it? We don't use gold and silver here. Your Li Dynasty needs to use spiritual stones to do business with us. Do you know the spiritual stones?"
"I know that jade and other spiritual energy are gathered together. The best spiritual stones are worth thousands of gold."
"Yes, you use spirit stones to buy elixir talismans and spirit coin shells, because spirit coins are a collection of spiritual energy that can be used for cultivation and are better absorbed than spirit stones."
"I see."
"Ah, I really can't talk anymore. See you again if we are destined."
"Amitabha, see you again when we are destined."
…
After passing the checkpoint area and entering the Nanjingguan area, you can see monsters everywhere, including monsters with monster heads and human bodies, especially untransformed monsters.
The houses along the official road are all very tall, and the houses on the roadside can be built up to twelve stories. Below are shops and warehouses, with humans or demons living above, a large family or several families.
Fortunately, I saw the house collapse.
It was an elk demon giving birth to a child. It was difficult to give birth, and it showed its huge original shape. It crushed the house to pieces, and the debris made it full of smoke.
The head of the household was denounced for going to the hospital to give birth to a child, but they didn’t charge any money!
The head of the household apologized repeatedly, saying that the incident happened suddenly and there was no time.
The doctor Fei Jian arrived quickly, summoned a large group of monsters to help hold down the elk demon, and then used magic to stun her, and then broke her belly to take out the child.
Then he crushed a lot of elixirs and used magic to help boost the potency, allowing the huge wounds to heal quickly.
The doctor wrote the prescription and left. Then the craftsman came to build the house. He took out the house that had been prepared in advance and put it down. He used magic to unfold it and it was ready.
There is a fee, and the household owner sorts out the debris and gives it to the garbage hauler, and pays them to haul it away.
…
Soon we arrived at Nanjingguan City and looked at the mansion on the top of the mountain outside the city. It was the residence of the great monster Gu Eagle.
Compared with ordinary monsters, a single big monster can destroy the Li family dynasty. Fortunately, big monsters usually know the cause and effect. They are usually cultivating or sleeping and will not come out to cause trouble.
After sleeping for hundreds or thousands of years, when you wake up, several dynasties may have passed.
…
There are some wanted posters and notices posted at the city gate.
The person wanted is a bandit group of dozens of people, including monsters, humans, demons, and all races working together to commit crimes.
They are proficient in deception and often work together to deceive. They are also able to evade and run away after grabbing something.
It is recommended that caravans travel together and do not go alone easily.
The notices are some administrative orders, mainly penalties for some businessmen and adjustments to the business taxes and land taxes of these businessmen.
Then there is the adjustment of the meat subsidy issued to the demon tribe. Because a large number of livestock froze to death in Beiju Luzhou, the meat subsidy will be reduced in the next year.
The missing portion will be converted into spiritual coins every month based on the price of meat, and can be purchased by yourself.
…
After clearing customs smoothly, you are allowed to trade in the city and stay at the envoy inn.
The Envoy Post is on the other side, just leave the city.
But the first thing you see when you leave the city is Mount Buzhou, a huge pillar with no end in sight.
I finally came to my senses and went to go through the formalities.
Xuan Yan took a look and saw that there were several manors near the inn.
Look at the house number, good guys, the people who live here are the descendants of the envoys of the previous dynasty, but they are no longer envoys, it is a private residence.
The envoys of the Liu Dynasty from hundreds of years ago are still there, as are the Cao family, the Sima family, and even the Yang family from before.
After asking around, I found that they were placed nearby, and there were more in Buzhou Mountain City.
There are also some who consider themselves no longer members of the old dynasty, so they can settle down as they please, and some even run away to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
…
Half of the troops stayed behind to protect the caravan, purchased the necessary supplies, and then returned.
The other half continued to move forward, along the outer edge of Buzhou Mountain, towards Xiniu Hezhou.
In view of the presence of bandits on the road, Nanjingguan sent several people to help escort them.
The plan included Ling Jintang, Shaoyao, Gu Ling'er, Princess Lihua and Li Jingxun, and Yamazaki followed secretly.
The robbers did not come, and they arrived at Wuzhishan smoothly.
Contrary to Yamazaki's expectation, Xuanqian did not go to Wuzhishan, but bypassed it and continued on his way.
Using talismans along the way, we soon arrived at the entrance to the Buddhist world.
Xuanqian did not enter the Buddhist world. He obtained many scriptures from temples outside and took them back to his country.
Thirty-six million miles, using talismans regardless of cost, could be covered in one month.
Li Erlang met Xuan Qian outside the city and gave him a Buddhist temple, and the matter was settled.
Xuanqi translated scriptures and worked hard for thirty-three years (1275 in the Linghai calendar), and passed away at the age of sixty-two.
…
Yamazaki scratched his head more and more, something was wrong.
Sure enough, then the Xuanyuan Sword in the hand of Emperor Li Erlang flew away on its own, causing the ministers to talk about it.
Li Erlang, who was accomplished in spirituality, was fine during the day, but after going to bed, he never got up again.
A quick check revealed that Emperor Li Erlang was seduced by the underworld in the middle of the night, and this year happened to be the emperor's 120th year.
It's not that he died in vain, it's that his life span has expired.
However, Li Erlang thought he could live for a thousand years and did not appoint a prince.
The situation in the Li family dynasty has suddenly changed, and the royal family members have begun to prepare for war.
The court officials wanted their eldest son to succeed to the throne, but they could not reach an agreement and the decision could not be settled.
Without it, Li Erlang rebelled to seize the throne and killed his brother to force his father.
No matter what great achievements he has made, this account is always there.
Everyone in the Li family believed that they might become emperor, so they naturally refused to compromise.
…
Underworld.
After Li Erlang came down, he was beaten so hard by his father and brother that he could no longer take care of himself.
Of course, as a ghost, this is not a big problem and it will be fine in a few days.
When I can move around again, I can kowtow to my father and brother again to make amends, and spend the holidays privately.
The family celebrated the festival and worried the ghosts to death.
The three of them couldn't help sighing as they saw the Li family heirs in a mess, looking like they were killing each other.
Li Erlang went to the street to ask how he could help his dream, but he learned that no one dared to help him because it involved a continent and the cause and effect was too big.
Li Erlang went to question the King of Wheels, why he ignored the life and death of the people.
The King of Reincarnation explained to him what the merits of cause and effect are and the six paths of reincarnation.
Li Erlang understood, but he pretended not to understand, and ran away with anger on the surface and regret in his heart.
