And those immortals only need fifty gold coins on the surface, but secretly there are no other benefits at all!
It's like a bandit crossing the border, searching for and taking away anything that catches his eye.
Those things add up to more than fifty gold.
The village chief hurriedly returned home and took a broken gong, beating it all the way to the ancestral hall.
The deafening sound of a broken gong was like water dripping into a frying pan, exploding in the quiet afternoon.
Many people taking their lunch break were suddenly awakened, got up cursing, and reluctantly walked to the ancestral hall with stinky faces.
The villagers murmured: "Why is the village chief so crazy? If there is any important matter, it must be discussed at this time, why not later? It can be so hot today."
Villager 2: "Who says it's not the case! It's too hot today, and my clothes are almost wet after just a few steps outside."
Villager 3: “I don’t know when it will rain? Let’s cool down.”
Villager 1: "Don't let it rain during this period. If it does rain, wait until the rice is harvested!"
Villager 2: "No, don't let it rain these days. Otherwise, the rice won't be able to dry, and will have to be piled up at home to sprout and mold. This year, we can only drink the northwest wind."
The old villager looked inscrutable: "Keep it in mind, it won't rain during this period, so you can harvest rice with peace of mind."
The villagers came together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing all the way to the ancestral hall.
There are a total of 109 households in Bishui Village. Basically, each household is attended by the head of the family alone, with a few daughters-in-law or sons accompanying him.
After all, the weather is too hot and no one wants to go out at this time.
More than one or two hundred people gathered together, like thousands of ducks. It was so noisy that it made my head hurt.
Fortunately, the ancestral hall is large and spacious, and more than a hundred people standing inside did not feel crowded at all.
When the villagers were almost all here, the village chief struck the broken gong, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent, all staring at the village chief.
After the village chief coughed twice to raise his voice, he loudly asked Yun Shuiyue for help.
The quiet crowd suddenly exploded.
There was a lot of discussion.
A tall and thin woman with a long face, narrow eyes, and thick lips, with an angry look on her face, screamed loudly: "Why doesn't she go and grab sixty gold coins? Everyone... woo woo..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, a big dark hand stretched out from the side and covered the woman's mouth tightly.
The woman turned her head and stared angrily at the man next to her, trying hard to open her narrowed eyes and glare at him fiercely.
The man's honest face was a little panicked, and his eyes were frightened. He whispered in the tall and thin woman's ear: "You don't want to die. That girl Yun is an immortal now, and immortality is not something you and I can arrange."
Immortal...! The tall and thin woman suddenly shrank her neck in fear and turned pale as she thought about what the immortals she had invited in the past had done.
She stared at the man gratefully, with fear shining in her panicked eyes.
When the man saw this, he let go of the woman.
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was okay to be afraid. He was afraid that the woman would be confused and cause trouble to the family.
The woman stopped talking and followed her man with her neck hunched, quietly acting as a listener.
It’s not that they really can’t come up with the money.
It's just that life is tight after giving me that money.
The rice she occasionally had for a meal turned into porridge, and the meat she had twice a month was gone, so she was so angry.
A stocky middle-aged man said rationally: "You guys can still make it together with ten more gold. Although the silver money is too much, we can also avoid unnecessary losses."
"For this reason, our village used to live bravely every year at this time.
How many people have been tortured and how many girls have been ruined, even if for these girls, the money must be increased. "A man with a calm face revealed the scar in everyone's heart.
After the man finished speaking, everyone fell silent, especially those families where a woman had been brutally murdered. The woman was already in tears, and the man's eyes were red.
A thin black woman shouted dissatisfied: "My house only has a small amount of land. If I add more land, it will be enough for me to buy that little rice. I might as well go directly to the town to buy rice. It will save trouble."
Originally, the thin black woman felt that the money she paid was not worth it, but at least the harvest was more than the money, so she felt better about it.
In addition, this is a group activity, and they must participate, otherwise their family will be excluded from anything happening in the village in the future.
But once the money is added, each family will pay almost ten silver coins, which exceeds the value of the rice and is not worth it.
The man next to the thin black woman said nothing and acquiesced to his wife's words.
There are more than a dozen people in the same situation as the thin black woman, and they all agree to increase the money.
"I don't agree with the price, I don't have to ask her, and not every immortal is arrogant and greedy." A male villager said.
"Yes, yes... maybe the immortal invited this time will be very lenient!" A wretched-looking male villager quickly agreed.
His family is not well-off, he doesn't have anything valuable, and he doesn't have any daughters, so he has no scruples. It doesn't matter who he invites, as long as he doesn't pay more.
"I agree. How can you have bad luck every year?" The villager's daughter got married, and the family only had a two-year-old granddaughter. The family was in an average financial situation, so he didn't care about it and was unwilling to pay ten silver more.
Less than half of the people did not agree to increase the money and insisted on going to Mingyue Town to hire someone.
Most people agree that these people have scruples and would rather pay more than take the risk.
In the end, the village chief suppressed it forcefully, and the minority obeyed the majority. Except for a few families with small land, everyone else had to agree.
Those who disagree will no longer have to participate in all affairs in the village, and they will be excluded from Bishui Village.
There was no other way, those people could only hold their noses and agree.
They are not that capable of contending with most of the village. Many things can only be solved by relying on the unity of the village chief and the entire village.

On the other side is Mingyue Town.
Mingjian Sect, an affiliated sect of Mingyue Sect, had four inner sect disciples come to the Mingyue Town disciple camp today.
Usually, there are only two disciples of Mingjian Sect stationed in Mingyue Town.
Both of them are in their forties or fifties. They are at the first level of Qi refining and have no hope of making any further progress in this life.
Then he was sent to the garrison by the sect to provide intelligence to the sect and do some trivial tasks.
There are many such disciples in every sect. When they reach an age, they are sent to various garrison areas to help the sect do their part.
Use the remaining heat.
This time, Mingjian Sect came to Mingyue Town with four inner disciples, two men and two women.
The highest level of cultivation is the sixth level of Qi refining, and the lowest level is the fourth level of Qi refining.
They are all around thirty years old, and they are relatively talented at this age. They are expected to build a foundation before they are a hundred years old.
A thin, sinister-looking man with slanted eyes arrived at the station.
Looking like a humble gentleman, he clasped his fists and respectfully apologized to the other four people: "Brothers and sisters, my uncle and uncle are in this town. I should go and visit him and meet up with my brothers and sisters tomorrow."
