Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 140

  Chapter 140 Weird Shengshan County (two in one)

  Xu Yuan knew for the first time that there is also the word "roll" in the mantra of Tianzi.

   As soon as the words fell, he was blown out of the cave by a force.

  Perhaps because of deliberate revenge, Tian Yan controlled a special force in it, and Xu Yuan kept spinning in the air until he fell into a piece of warm and fragrant nephrite.

  Ran Qingmo caught him at a height of 100 meters, his quiet eyes lowered slightly, and he asked in a clear voice:

"Are you OK?"

  When he came back to his senses and looked up,

  The full moon was in the sky, and her long hair blowing in the wind seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, which was so beautiful and peaceful.

  Xu Yuan endured the dizziness and performed two laps of the exercises, then looked at her and grinned:

"nothing."

  Ran Qingmo hesitated a little, and glanced in the direction of the cave.

   And this glance happened to meet Tian Yan's pair of azure golden eyes.

  The slender figure stood alone at the entrance of the cave, staring coldly at the two in the air.

   One glance is like ten thousand years.

   In the end, it was Xu Yuan who broke the silence first, because he felt that something was going to happen again after watching it:

   "Ran Qingmo, let's go first. Tianyan is injured. She won't chase her again until she recovers, which is enough for us to escape."

  Ran Qingmo withdrew his gaze, and looked down at him in his arms:

"oh"

   "Okay, let's go."

  But before he finished speaking, she, who was dressed in black like ink, pursed her lips and let go of him directly.

   "." Xu Yuan.

  The snow has just melted, and green shoots grow from the branches.

On the side of the official road, a woman dressed in black is of outstanding figure, wearing a curtain on her head. Through the hanging curtain, she can only vaguely see her tall and graceful figure. On the side of the woman is a face. The handsome son-in-law, dressed in brocade clothes and robes.

  Xu Yuan looked at the passers-by around him.

  Because Da Bingtuozi has been unwilling to fly with him for some reason these days, and there is no map, the two wandered around the Wanxing Mountain Range for nearly a month before finally getting out of the Wanxing Mountain Range.

  Meet an official road, along the road so far, is the scene in front of you.

  There are endless pedestrians on the official road, but there are few civilians, most of them are caravans or knights and mercenaries, and many people have traces of dried blood on their clothes.

  Xu Yuan glanced around and shook his head slightly.

   I don't know how much of the blood is human and how much is demon.

   It seems that because of the riots of monsters in the Wanxing Mountains, it is not peaceful here.

  Dayan's official road is very prosperous, extending in all directions, almost can lead to every town in Dayan, and its spaciousness is no less spacious than the highway in the previous life.

  People in this world also understand the truth of "If you want to get rich, build roads first".

  The official roads extending in all directions and the prosperous business routes brought about by water transport, all kinds of business gangs flourished.

  But the extraordinaryness of this world is doomed to have no fertile ground for the growth of capitalism.

  No matter how prosperous the business gangs and chambers of commerce are, they can only be dogs under the supernatural forces.

  Of course, maybe there will be a fierce man from heaven in the future.

   And along the way,

  The "refugee camps" that gradually appeared on both sides of the official road quickly attracted Xu Yuan's attention.

   This kind of refugee camp is not the first time Xu Yuan has seen it.

  Governments along the official road will sprinkle a kind of powder called "Demon Avoidance Powder".

  This powder is refined from special organs in the corpses of high-level monsters, and it can exude a strong aura that makes low-level monsters fearful, so as to achieve the effect of driving away monsters.

  In addition to this, Tianjian Divisions in various places also need to regularly organize personnel to conduct inspections along the official roads in their jurisdictions to ensure the smooth flow of official roads.

  All parts of Dayan attach much more importance to officialdom than those towns.

  And thus created an ironic fact—

   Township spirits and monsters are causing disasters, and it is difficult to deploy manpower to control them, but the official road is unimpeded.

  Because of this, the refugees whose homes were destroyed by monsters and spirits spontaneously fled to both sides of the official road and gathered on both sides of the official road. The simple wooden sheds built by them were almost everywhere on both sides of the official road.

  Because for these refugees,

  Officially, it is safe, allowing them to live temporarily.

   Walking on the side road, Xu Yuan sighed slightly.

He could clearly see the dirty and messy environment among these shanties. He could see several **** men with knives escorting another shirtless man to a shanty, and several skinny children kept surrounding him. Beating another child who was protecting food, you can even see those withered arms hidden in the snow

   Without leaving the city, Xu Yuan will probably never see such a scene in his life.

   No matter how much Zhou Chen talked to him before, it was not worth meeting him in person.

  The prosperity and tranquility of Dayan town is made of thousands of dead bones.

  Dayan Dynasty is too big.

  It is so big that even if it is partially eroded, it is still prosperous.

   Half an hour later,

   Looking at the refugee camps on both sides of the official road, Xu Yuan couldn't help but frowned slightly.

   Too much, too big.

  This refugee camp is too big. Even if it is very large because it is close to a water source, it is impossible to form such a large scale, right?

   It was several times larger than any refugee camp Xu Yuan had seen during his journey.

  Many wooden simple sheds are newly built.

  These refugees are all because of the riot of monsters in the Wanxing Mountains?

   But there will be no accidents with so many refugees gathered here?

  Something not right spread in Xu Yuan's heart.

I do not know how long it has been,

   "Xu Yuan."

  Ran Qingmo suddenly made a sound.

  Xu Yuan came back to his senses, looked sideways slightly, and replied in a low voice:

"What's wrong?"

  Ran Qingmo stared at the refugees on both sides under the curtain, was silent for a moment, then shook his head:

"nothing."

   Xu Yuan glanced at her, sighed and said in a low voice:

  “The emergence of refugee camps like this is actually an inevitable product of the moment.”

   "Inevitable?" Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled.

   Xu Yuan did not speak, but asked in a low voice:

   "Haven't you seen a place like this before?"

  Ran Qingmo pondered for a while, then shook his head:

   "I have seen it. Before I went out for a trip, the master took me to see many things, and there are places like this among them."

  Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked:

   "What did he tell you?"

  Ran Qingmo pondered slightly, and said in a low voice:

   "Master, he told me that I don't care about people fighting with each other, but if there are monsters invading the people, you must help them as much as you can, otherwise there will be more and more poor people."

   Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said:

   "I didn't ask you this, I mean he told you why there are refugees in this world?"

  Ran Qingmo's eyes flickered, and he nodded:

   "Said."

   "What did he say?"

"Master said, on the one hand, the officials of the imperial court are corrupt, and second, the imperial court only allows our sect disciples to move within the originally demarcated boundaries, and the imperial court itself is unable to control these places. We are not allowed to go and help."

  Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

   What Master Ran Qingmo said is true, but it is also false.

  The imperial court does not allow the sect to stay in the place, rather than prohibiting them from going out to eliminate demons.

  As for official corruption, it does exist, but it is not the main reason.

  Ran Qingmo saw the look in Xu Yuan's eyes, hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice:

   "Did I say something wrong?"

  Xu Yuan looked at the mud mixed with blood stains and ice water on the ground of the refugee camp, and sighed:

   "Wrong, but also right."

   "Huh?" Ran Qingmo's eyes were full of doubts.

  Xu Yuan looked at her without the dust, fell silent for a few breaths, and said in a low voice:

   "Ran Qingmo, what do you think Zongmen is?"

   "It's home." Ran Qingmo replied as a matter of course.

   "No, I mean the Dayan Dynasty."

   "The power to rule the world together."

  Xu Yuan suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard this, and he wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart.

  Because what Ran Qingmo answered was the official language written in the annals of Dayan compiled by the imperial court.

   "What are you laughing at?" Da Bingtuozi seemed a little dissatisfied.

  Xu Yuan coughed lightly and shook his head:

   "Maybe at first, but not anymore."

   "Why?" Ran Qingmo asked.

  The wind blows her curtain, and the white skin under it is faintly visible.

  Xu Yuan said softly as he walked:

   "Because the imperial court is almost unable to suppress the sect.

   "In other words, the imperial court and the Zongmen have basically stood on opposite sides. For the imperial court, the Zongmen is no longer a help, but a parasite."

  Under the curtain, Ran Qingmo pursed her red lips.

  Xu Yuan pointed to the shanty town:

   "Ran Qingmo, your master is right, the court does not allow the sect to go out, but your master should mean that the sect is not allowed to go out to set up a dojo."

   "Why?" Ran Qingmo asked.

   "What and why?" Xu Yuan asked.

   "Why does the imperial court not allow the sect to set up a separation point?"

Ran Qingmo asked very seriously: "Master said, if the disciples of the Zongmen set out from Tianyuan Mountain to get rid of the monsters, it would be too far to go back and forth, and the journey would take a lot of time, and they would have to set up dojos in other places to quickly get rid of those monsters that caused disasters. If a dojo is set up, our sect disciples will be able to stay there permanently, and the common people can come to us directly if there is anything to do."

  Xu Yuan looked at Ran Qingmo and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and said helplessly:

"It's really easy, but it's a precedent. Now that the sect can no longer pay taxes, it's a precedent. It will be difficult for the imperial court to take back the place where your sect set up a dojo. Ten years. Ten years is less, probably in a hundred years. , Maybe this world of flames will be eaten away by the sect and become the world of sects.

"so,

   "The imperial court would rather let them live or die than let your sect take over."

  When Ran Qingmo heard this, her beautiful eyes half understood:

   "Is there no solution?"

  Xu Yuan smiled when he heard the words, and said in a leisurely tone:

   “Actually, it is actually easy to solve these homeless people.

"As long as the Zongmen and the imperial court back down, the Zongmen is willing to pay taxes, or the imperial court is willing to let you set up a dojo, no matter which of these two paths you take, these homeless people can live and work in peace and contentment. After all, the current Dayan China's national power is really strong."

   But speaking of which,

  Xu Yuan shook his head, with a weird and sarcastic smile on his lips:

   "But this is impossible. The emperor cannot delegate power, and the sect cannot back down. This is why my father chose to destroy your Tianyuan Sword Sect."

  The voice fell, and in the silence, Ran Qingmo's beautiful eyes were a little bleak:

   "It seems that there is no room for turning around."

  She realized the communication barrier between the Zongmen and the imperial court like a natural moat.

  Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted her arm.

  Ran Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at him through the curtain.

  He bent her eyes and smiled at her:

   "Don't worry, I will try my best to create a room for you."

  She bit her lip and nodded slightly:

"Um"

  The two of them didn't speak any more, they walked forward in silence.

  The refugee camps on both sides continued to spread until a city wall was seen from a distance, and the wooden buildings built on both sides of the official road gradually became sparse.

  Shengshan County.

   It is the frontier city where the fourth sister set up a psychedelic formation.

   Walked closer along the official road,

   It can be seen that the city wall of Shengshan County looks a bit dilapidated, the city wall is more than ten meters long, and the formation on the wall is also flickering when the intentional soul perceives it.

  The woman named Zhou He I met on the road before did not lie to him.

  If Xu Xinrou didn't care about Shengshan County, it would probably be a ruin in a few years.

Because it is close to the Wanxing Mountains, many knights, mercenaries and warriors who hunt monsters use this county as their foothold, and it is precisely because of these monster hunters that many caravans will come here to buy monster corpses. of various materials.

   But later on, the number of caravans decreased a lot, because there would always be waves of monsters attacking the city.

  Now, perhaps because of the safety guarantee of the psychedelic formation, the caravan has returned, and the Shengshan County has gradually restored the prosperity of the commercial frontier town.

   Very popular.

  Different from other Dayan counties that Xu Yuan has been to, the folk customs in Shengshan County, a frontier city, are obviously much tougher.

   Eight out of ten pedestrians on the road have guys on them.

   There are martial apprentices, cultivators, and some disciples of sects who come here to practice.

   Walkers come and go in the city, fish and dragons are mixed together.

  Ran Qingmo's attire is not conspicuous, but Xu Yuan's brocade robe looks a bit eye-catching.

  Because many female sect disciples in this city choose to cover their faces to avoid unnecessary troubles, but Brother Young Master, very few people come to this frontier to play, and most of them are dressed in strong clothes.

  Walking among the bustling crowd, Ran Qingmo looked around:

   "Xu Yuan, what are we doing now?"

  Xu Yuan replied as a matter of course:

   "Purchasing something."

   Halfway through,

  Xu Yuan suddenly stopped, staring at a living shrine in the distance.

  The **** light flashed in the eyes,

  In that ancestral hall, he saw a sculpture of a gentle woman like water.

  Ran Qingmo looked around in surprise, and asked a little strangely:

"What's wrong?"

  The **** light in Xu Yuan's eyes dissipated, and he shook his head slightly with unknown meaning:

   "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that Shengshan County really built a shrine for the fourth sister."

  Ran Qingmo understood clearly, and asked in a low voice:

   "Are you going to see it?"

  Xu Yuan shook his head:

   "No need, she built this psychedelic formation to protect the safety of the party, which is pretty good."

   After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

  The two circled around the city,

  Standing in front of a small building with a closed courtyard door,

  Xu Yuan looked up at the four characters "Fenghai Chamber of Commerce", and whispered with a strange expression:

   "I remember that Shengshan County is the territory of Wanxiangzong. Why did his family's chamber of commerce and restaurant close a month ago? It doesn't make sense."

   When purchasing things, the chambers of commerce of large sects are often much more complete than those of small sects.

  There is no Tianan Chamber of Commerce of his family in Shengshan County, so Xu Yuan can only buy things at the next best thing, but there is no result.

  Ran Qingmo followed Xu Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Is it strange?"

  Xu Yuan glanced at her, nodded with a smile:

   "Of course it's weird.

   "The Zongmen do not pay taxes, and they are also not allowed to touch local taxes. They want to make money by mastering local commerce.

"The Wanxiang Sect spent a lot of money to set up a psychedelic formation outside the city. Now that Shengshan County has finally become prosperous, the profit of this monster business is huge. Proper management can cost tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. Less."

   "According to common sense, it is impossible for their Wanxiang sect to give up"

   Talking and talking,

  Xu Yuan faintly felt something was wrong.

   dizzy, late
