Two airships, one large and one small, parked in the open space in the center of the settlement. Among those who were taken to mine the longest time away from home, it was only more than a month. When they saw their homeland again, it seemed like a world away. Running towards home, some ran to the medical clinic along the road with tears in their eyes, and dragged people home while stuffing gold into the doctor's arms; The villagers mourned.

Dali helped Aunt An get off the flying boat, and seeing Chu Hanyue's tired face, she pointed to Mu Lingyun in the direction of the locust tree, and whispered, "I'll go back first."

But Mu Lingyun stroked Chu Hanyue's cheek and woke him up: "Hanyue, we're here."

Her mind was in chaos, Chu Hanyue subconsciously leaned against the warm place, opened her eyelids, saw a hand swaying on her face, she woke up instantly, turned her face away, and jumped off the flying boat with her long legs: "How many people are there in the Taoist temple?" ?” He followed Da Li, leaving the others behind.Although the quilts look a lot, they are a bit tattered and dusty, obviously no one has used them for a long time.

"When I was in the North Temple, there were 12 people living there. When the monsters attacked..." Aunt An choked, "Three are gone. A few days ago, Xiao Wu Xiao Liu went to the Upper Realm, plus the original ten people in the Taoist temple. People, there are 17 people in total now. Da Neng, I want to go to the doctor first." Just now a wave of people surrounded the only doctor in the city, and Xiao An was still waiting for treatment...

"You don't need to find a doctor, my brother has already healed Xiao An's leg." Da Li said, holding a bag of food from the mine with one hand, and supporting Aunt An with the other.

"Really, really!" Aunt An was overjoyed, she took out the five taels of gold in her bosom, and after pulling for a long time, finally pulled out the thin money bag sewn on the clothes, "Da Neng, all I have is this, is it enough? "The price of a monk's medical treatment must be very different from that of an ordinary doctor.

Dali pressed her hand back: "No need, this is my brother! We are all one family, no money is charged."

Aunt An knew very well that Dali had no father or mother since she was a child, and it was absolutely impossible for her to have an elder brother from the upper realm, so she looked at Chu Hanyue uncomfortably, who just said indifferently: "No need." Then Aunt An put the gold and money bag back In his arms, ready to go back and sew a few more.

Chu Hanyue was silent all the way back to the ruined temple. It wasn't until Mu Lingyun started making noises in her ears that she recovered from her thoughts: "I can't stay here for long."

"Are you worried that Chu Chenxing will come to cause trouble?" Mu Lingyun guessed that he would be worried about this, so he woke up people without delay, and said to Dali, "Let everyone come back first, if not..."

"Give me the gold!" Da Li patted the mustard seed bag and went out in a hurry.

"Chu Chenxing has a vicious temperament, and he will take revenge if he has a grudge. If the mine vein is destroyed, he will not calm down. Along the way, Dali and Aunt An have a close relationship. If the person in charge informs him, it is not difficult to find this place." Chu Hanyue calmly analyzed, "No He may not dare to blatantly harm others with the appropriate charges, but it will definitely cause trouble for everyone and must be transferred."

"The four major cities are the closest to Nancheng, why not move there?" Mu Lingyun suggested.

"I heard that the four major cities are strictly controlled, and refugees are not allowed to enter." Aunt An said, "Otherwise, we will move to the East Temple? If we squeeze, we should still be able to live there."

"Who said you are refugees." Mu Lingyun said relaxedly, "From today onwards, everyone is a resident of Nancheng."

"Go to strengthen the barrier first, and move out when everyone is ready." Chu Hanyue said and went out, Yu Changsheng followed, and he turned his head, "Stay here and be careful not to be disturbed by anyone."

"Leave it to me." After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he saw Mu Lingyun going out side by side with him. He regretted it for a moment. He should have taken out his identity as a teaching assistant and handed over this job to Mu Lingyun. Can stay with Yan Hao.

The enchantment of the settlement is already very fragile, if it is ignored, it may not last for a year.

"I'm going to the east." Mu Lingyun said with confidence, and after a while, his voice came from the jade tablet, "I'm here, let's start."

On the east and west sides of the inhabited area, Chu Hanyue and Mu Lingyun each pointed to the sky with one hand, pouring spiritual flow into the barrier. In fact, the fastest way is for four people to cast spells simultaneously from east, west, north, south, and four directions in order to arrange such a large barrier.

But there are requirements for everyone who casts the spell. The speed and strength of the spiritual flow must be equal, otherwise it will easily lead to imbalance and tearing. This is not difficult for Yan Hao, as long as he breathes. It is not a suitable companion, it is better for two people to perform the spell, although it consumes a little more spiritual power, it is safe after all.

The mottled enchantment quickly became smooth, and the platinum and light red gradually gathered towards the center, finally converging into a two-color rainbow.

Reining in the spiritual flow, Chu Hanyue took a middle-grade tonic elixir, frowned at the bitterness that hit her nose, bit down a small piece of rock sugar, controlled the air to the middle of the barrier, and danced with her fingertips, drawing The next enhanced protective rebound formation can sense killing intent. As long as the beast or evildoer's cultivation level is not higher than his, it can rebound part of the attack to ensure a longer lifespan of the barrier.

After finishing all this, when we returned to the Taoist temple, it was already dusk, and everyone had already returned. After listening to Aunt An and Granny’s narration, they were persuaded by Yan Hao and Dali—Yu Changsheng also persuaded them, but unfortunately they didn’t make sense Hearing that, he was pushed out of the door by Dali halfway.

After all, Po Tao Temple is not a real home, but a safe haven for the homeless. Although everyone has nostalgia, it has not taken root after all, and everyone moves together. Friends and "relatives" are all around, and there is no resistance. They all packed their bags, it was nothing more than a broken mattress and a few pieces of clothes.

"If you don't have any valuables, you don't need to bring them." Precious means not the price, but the important things in your heart, such as the pillow wrapped in two layers of linen that your mother-in-law is holding tightly.Chu Hanyue said: "I will buy it when I arrive in Dongcheng."

"Da Neng...we are not rich..." said a lame young man.

"This relocation is all due to us, and we will bear all the expenses." Mu Lingyun asked Yan Hao for a quilt to replace the broken quilt, and wrapped it around the mother-in-law who could not walk. A group of people supported each other and left Broken temple.

When he returned after finishing the barrier, Mu Lingyun confirmed that the person in charge of the mine had not left. Xu knew that he would be held accountable if he went back, so he was sitting in the flying boat viciously biting a domino with green bamboo painted on it with his fingers, mouthing He murmured brokenly: "What about the eldest son of the Chu family, so what if he is good-looking, mortals are no more than insects, and they destroy mine veins for them, and cut off my way to get rich. I will die...after death, let me... oops!"

The person in charge flew forward, and slapped his feet on the ground about ten feet away, leaving a big shoe print on his back. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. There was a "hiss" in the chest and he stood up. Looking back, he saw that the flying boat was already full of people.

Chu Hanyue's spiritual power wiped a curse pattern on the side of the boat, dispelling the flying boat's tracking spell, Yan Hao jumped onto the boat, and carried everyone in the boat into the air.

"Wait! Give me back the flying boat!" The person in charge rushed over, grabbed it with both hands, but missed it, fell to the ground again, and looked at the small flying boat that hadn't taken off yet.

"Dirty my shoes." Mu Lingyun rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground twice, and sat on the boat next to Chu Hanyue. Yu Changsheng didn't have to be squeezed into a row at the back. Looking at the pair of backs in front, he still felt that he was not good enough. You should sit in this position, but stick to the bottom of the boat to blow the cold wind.

The person in charge rushed over again: "Wait..." With such a short distance, you can definitely catch people, how much can you blackmail!

However, he still fell to the ground with a snap.

The flying boat climbed into the sky at an unimaginable high speed. Both Chu Hanyue and Mu Lingyun cast barriers to resist the airflow brought by the acceleration, and they also covered the carp by the way. Yu Changsheng's handsome face was squeezed together in the strong wind. The flying boat returned to normal speed in an instant, and the flesh slammed into the opposite direction again. Within two breaths, he felt his head was about to fly away.

Not long after the two flying boats left, Chu Chenxing landed in the open space of the settlement, casually caught an unlucky passerby, asked where the Po Dao Temple was, and killed him in a fit of anger.

Chu Hanyue, if you destroy my spiritual veins, I will destroy everyone you want to help!

The door of the dilapidated Taoist temple was wide open, and it was cold and clear inside, with no one there. The cold wind blew up and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, making Chu Chenxing's face blurred. There was a burst of shouting from the back of the neck: "Where are people!"

The man was frightened for a moment, not only did not stop the flow, he became even more turbulent under the tension, and poured it all on the hem of Chu Chenxing's robe: "Move, move away..."

If there were no more questions to ask, Chu Chenxing would strangle that person to death: "Where are you moving?"

"I, I'll take you there, let go first..." As soon as Chu Chenxing let go, the man ran away desperately, leaving behind a sentence, "I don't know!"

The man was very familiar with the road conditions, and when he turned around the corner, Chu Chenxing chased after him. The man turned away to nowhere, and he had long since disappeared. After all, he was only at the early stage of Jindan, and he did not yet have a soul that could sense breath. Fazi, frustrated repeatedly, shot out his spiritual power in the distance in a fit of anger: "Chu Hanyue, one day I will kill you...ah!"

The spiritual flow with a strong murderous intent hit the barrier, bounced back the same way, and sent the caster a head-on blow. Chu Chenxing's nasal cavity was bleeding, the corner of his mouth was broken, his neck was twisted by himself, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice , that unrelenting anger almost burned himself to death.

As night fell, the night market in Xianan City kicked off. After all, the four major cities were the places where monks from the upper realm must pass through. Therefore, the barriers were very strong, free from evil spirits, and very prosperous.

Refugees are not allowed to enter the city gate, but the flying boat of the monks can enter the city directly. The flying boat stopped at the anchorage point, and a group of twenty people marched towards the city in a mighty manner. Passers-by finally found a real estate agency.

When the waiter saw the face of the leader, Chu Hanyue, he immediately burst into a smile, looked down, and then saw the tattered star blue dress—it was too shabby, the wide sleeves were gone, and he couldn't see the shape clearly for a while. Adding a group of beggar-like people behind him, they immediately chased them away with a cold face: "Go away! When will there be beggars in the city!"

The rags on her body were really eye-catching, and Chu Hanyue brought a large group of people into the clothing store in a mighty way. Came to the door of the intermediary again.

"It's closed, come back tomorrow." The waiter was closing the shop door, and only remembered Chu Hanyue's face just now. Now he put on the veiled hat again, but he didn't recognize the same group of people. The ethos of gang inspections.

Mu Lingyun took out two taels of gold, tapped and played with it, and passed his hand to the front of the waiter: "Closed?"

The waiter picked up the gold, and opened the shop door with a pleasant face: "No, no, please come inside."

Twenty people poured into the store, and it was crowded at once. The mother-in-law was carried behind by a young man, poked her head out from under the quilt, and said to the waiter: "Thank you, you have worked hard."

The waiter has worked here for more than ten years. He has heard contemptuous words from monks, stern reprimands from shopkeepers, and disdainful ridicule from customers. It is the first time he has been so sincerely thanked and sympathized. .

Immediately, it was as if he had been beaten, and he took out two pots of tea, rummaged through the box to find all the cups, poured more than 20 cups of tea, and took out the candy plate that had been placed on the counter, and gave one to each of the children: "Everyone wants to buy Real estate? Do you want a single house, a compound, or a mansion?"

"Headyard." Chu Hanyue said, buying a luxury house is too ostentatious, but it attracts people to covet and easily causes trouble.The others didn't express their opinions, they just kept nodding their heads, writing all over their faces: "Anyone can say what they say."

The waiter came out with two brochures, glanced at everyone, judged the power of decision based on experience, and handed the brochures to Chu Hanyue and Mu Lingyun respectively.

Chu Hanyue flipped through the booklets one by one, and found that there were not many courtyards that could accommodate 17 people. In the end, he chose a large courtyard that could accommodate seven or eight families in total: "How about this one? Is there any dispute with the original householder?"

"Hey, how can there be any entanglements? The sellers are nothing more than unable to pay the tax. The seller of this set is the same. A big family has changed to a small house. You can rest assured, but the purchase of real estate is also subject to taxation, let me calculate... this set is [-] gold including taxes. "

"Taxation?" Chu Hanyue didn't know that there was another layer, and asked, "How to collect taxes?"

"The residents of the four major cities in the mortal world have to pay taxes to the city owners every quarter. The city owners are appointed by the four great families." Mu Lingyun explained, "Each of the four cities belongs to one family, and the south city is controlled by the Chu family. I don't know the exact amount."

"Oh, my lord, are you monks?" The waiter hissed and lowered his voice, "It's not fun to say the word control. If the city lord hears it, you will be beaten. Let's talk about governance and protection. There are two types of taxes. One is the field tax, which collects grain or shellfish according to the area of ​​the field, and the other is the cloth tax, which is calculated according to the area of ​​the house, or pays shellfish, or sends labor to the cloth workshop to weave cloth. As for the amount... there is always no home Ye, I still don’t recommend you to buy too much real estate and land, but if you have friendship with the God Realm, everything will be easy, and the house and land named Chu’s family do not need to be taxed.”

This is not difficult, although there is no family tattoo, the jade plaque of Jun Tianshan's disciple is enough to prove his identity.

Chu Hanyue nodded, she thought she wanted this house, and was about to pay for it, when the waiter said: "However, when a monk buys a house, the property taxation is too different. It has been multiplied dozens of times, and at least four to five thousand gold... ..."

Chu Hanyue: "..."

Waiter: "Young master, this money must also be handed over to the city lord. We only charge an intermediary fee of a dozen taels of gold."

Mu Lingyun was not short of money, so he poured the mustard seed bag on the counter, and with a bang, the gold poured out. Yu Changsheng saw that this was a good opportunity to perform, so he hurriedly followed, and he also poured the mustard seed bag smartly, and two waterfalls of gold fell on the counter. The burning eyes of everyone poured out, and the waiter kicked the door of the shop quickly, fearing that passers-by would see the golden light.

A golden waterfall stopped, and Yu Changsheng shook the mustard seed bag, a little embarrassed, and it was over... After a while, Mu Lingyun's golden waterfall also stopped, not that it was finished, but that the number was almost the same.

The waiter rushed to the shop to ask for the shopkeeper. Seeing Jinshan, the shopkeeper immediately burst into joy. After all, the higher the total amount, the more agency fees he earned. Using the abacus to calculate the total after adding the agency fee, the waiter Holding the gold in his hands, he said: "It's too much, 67 taels too much..."

"Purchase bedding, quilts and other daily necessities. We will move in tonight, and the rest will be used as subsidized shops." After Mu Lingyun finished speaking, he looked at Chu Hanyue and smiled as if begging for a reward.

What Chu Hanyue thought was: Qi Xiu used to make so much money...

Dali Baji hugged Chu Hanyue and Mu Lingyun one by one: "Thank you brother!"

"No problem." Chu Hanyue said.The money is not his...

Mu Lingyun rubbed his head: "You don't have to thank me. If you go and dance in front of Yu Changsheng, that's the best way to thank me."

Don't know why, but it's too easy.Da Li ran up to Yu Changsheng, bouncing three times in succession, hitting his chin with a bruised purple: "Huh? We bumped into each other again. Brother Changsheng, I'm sorry! We really don't seem to get along... ..."

Yu Changsheng didn't say anything about being hit on the chin, and bit the tip of his tongue unpreparedly. Suddenly new hatred and old hatred broke out, and he was furious: "Mu! Ling! Yun!"
