Apprentice, he just doesn't take medicine

The Snowy City across the entire continent is the dividing line between the north and the south. There were dozens of gates in this city in ancient times. Since Mu Baiyi took office, most of them have been closed. Except for the Jinge Gate, which provides the passage for the army, it is still under maintenance, leaving only five gates. The city gate is used for north-south trade.Since the First World War 14 years ago, these five city gates no longer allow southern monks to pass through, and it is difficult for ordinary people to return to their hometowns to visit their families. The North and South cultivation circles only communicate through official letters.

However, because the monks in the north built a large number of caves, ordinary people lost a lot of fertile land and did not dare to compete with the monks, so the imperial court could only set up the granary in the south.If there is no such food supply, how many people in the north will starve to death, no matter how much Xueyi Tiancheng wants to cut off the connection between the north and the south, it will not cause famine.

The Zhongsi Gate that Shi Ying and his party passed was the route often taken by businessmen, and a hundred miles away from this gate was Qingzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Tianyu family.

The Tianyu family has always collected rare and exotic beasts, and the children of the family also like novelty gadgets from the outside world. They have always been very welcome to traveling merchants, and they are the only monk family that does not pay extra taxes to merchants.Therefore, the businesses in the cities where they have branch offices are relatively prosperous, and Baifeng City, which is adjacent to their home, is the headquarters of major chambers of commerce, and the top auction houses in the world are also established here.

To the east of Qingzhou is the Tianyu family, to the west is the Huaimeng family, and to the north is the capital of the imperial court, Yuejing, which has always been the resting place for merchants after entering the customs.Now everyone is sitting on a Chidori eight-wheeled cart, and the pedestrians on the road they pass are all voluntarily giving way, and from time to time, civilians are seen kneeling respectfully on the ground.

He Wuqi didn't think it was strange in the past, but when he came back from the south and saw this scene again, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he was much more silent.He was like this, and the sword cultivators were naturally even more frustrated. Yuan Ru, who was the most casual, slipped out of the car immediately.

However, when the civilians saw that he was obviously not ordinary, they were even more frightened when they were approached. They all took gifts and wanted to pay respects. Yuan Ru was even more embarrassed by this, and hurried back to the car.Due to You Xian Jiao Ming's presence, he couldn't get angry, so he could only complain to He Wuqi with some trivial matters: "I didn't say that a meat bun here actually costs a tael of silver, why don't you grab it?"

The monk had no idea about money matters, and He Wuqi didn't even know how much a tael of silver was, so he immediately asked with a blank face: "Is there a big difference from the south?"

"Third son, Fengyuan Mountain City is the territory of Yujian Villa, so it's not inferior to your Tianyu family, right? The well-known bun shop in the city queues up every day, and it only costs five cents a bun."

Except for Gu Yusheng, the monks present were either princes or nobles or descendants of aristocratic families, and Shi Ying was an immortal grass who didn't know human affairs, but Yuan Ru walked among the people all the year round and knew the lives of ordinary people far better than they did. finger, looking very sad.

This price is indeed ridiculously high, Gu Yusheng also frowned and said: "I worked as a handyman in the academy when I was a child, and my monthly salary was only three taels of silver."

He Wuqi originally wanted to ask how much copper coins would be converted into a tael of silver, but he had an idea after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he retorted: "But the wages of handymen in the north are also high, and our servants are all based on spirits. Stones are used as monthly money, and vulgar things such as gold and silver are not allowed to enter the door at all."

For these situations, You Xian Jiao Ming knew better than the young master who was locked up at home, so he just sighed at this moment: "The imperial court needs taxes, monks need to pay taxes, and the food and clothing brought by merchants from the south must first be picked out the best." For a group of filial monks and officials, the loss can only be made back from the common people. The common people are so difficult, if the prices of the items sold are not raised, how can they survive?"

After all, there are only a small number of people who can serve as monks' servants. Monks don't look down on things like grains and vegetables, and naturally they don't buy them. Therefore, there has been a polarization in the north.All ranks related to monks are very rich, but the property for mortals is hard to even fill their stomachs.

In recent years, the number of refugees who have been expelled from their hometown due to their inability to pay the tribute is increasing. Youxian Jiaoming proposed a proposal to reduce the tribute, and the representatives of the five factions also attached great importance to it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the proposal was put on the agenda, various low-level monks had already discussed it. Excited.

These people have poor talent and have no chance to ascend in their lifetime, so they can only rely on mortal offerings to live a life of luxury. If this offering is reduced, it is equivalent to taking money out of their pockets. Naturally, as the beneficiaries, they will strongly resist.

However, compared to mortals, these outer disciples who have only established their foundations are the cornerstones of the cultivation sect, and this matter was finally settled in the protest of the monks.In the past few years, there has been an argument in the north that monks are the direction of human evolution, and those who cannot become monks should be eliminated. The process of survival of the fittest is the same for all races. This is the law of heaven.

You Xian Jiao Ming thinks this statement is too scary, but what worries him even more is that many of the younger generation of monks seem to have such an idea, and even the Tianyu family has some voices of approval.

They are people who were raised by the green-feathered fire phoenix, and their goal of practice is to ascend to Taoism and ascend, and they will continue to accompany their cherished phoenix in the fairy world from now on, how can they have such thoughts against the way of heaven?Since then, You Xian Jiao Ming and the head of the family have forbidden the young people in the family to run around, and even severed the connection with Xueyi Tiancheng, the source of thought.

But in the eyes of young people, they are old-fashioned sticking to the old way, and their thinking is rigid so that they cannot accept the coming of the age of monks.

He Wuqi was still young, and Jiao Ming never let him know about these worries and leisure as the principal. The only thing to be thankful for is that the isolated life in childhood protected the child from the influence of those strange thoughts. It's pure youthful temperament.The cuteness of this child comforted him, who was often made almost asthmatic by the younger generation of his family, and he loved him even more these years.

He Wuqi still doesn't understand the pressure that the second uncle bears. He just wondered about the businessman's filial piety to the monks. It has to be the fabric of ice silkworms and spirit silkworms, why do you want mortal silk silks and satins?"

In the eyes of monks, anything without aura is not a good thing, and it would take up space at home. This is why the monks in the south live in peace with ordinary people, and there is no conflict of interest between them, so why bother to fight with ordinary people? They clean up.

Hundreds of years ago, the same was true in the north. At that time, the five factions formed an alliance not long ago, and the monks were also immersed in the sense of accomplishment of rectifying evil cultivators and calming the world, and rarely considered issues such as gains and losses.The real change to the current situation began when the imperial court was weakened and evil cultivators were wiped out.

Righteous monks have no opponents, and this stability is their turn to improve their lives. It is not too much to enjoy the best treasures in the world with the ability of monks, right?

They don't owe mortals anything, it's affection to protect them once or twice, and they keep guarding homes for mortals, wouldn't they become dogs raised by mortals?That being the case, it is also reasonable for mortals to be rewarded if they want to be protected by them.

The imperial court is just a group of mortals, what is the emperor?Any Nascent Soul cultivator could crush him to death.So, why should monks ignore court orders?This court should listen to them.

There is no problem with all the logic, but I don't know why, everyone thinks that every decision is correct when it is proposed, but the final Northern Alliance has become like this.

You Xian Jiao Ming didn't know when the problem started, he only knew that his generation was already in a difficult situation.The five northern factions occupy a large area of ​​territory, and manpower is needed to manage the territory. Most of the new disciples recruited by the expansion have no family background, and have no concept of cultivating immortals. They become monks to improve their lives.That being the case, it is inevitable to be greedy for worldly fame and fortune.

In this world, who will do things for you without benefits?The new disciples of each party should not be too restrained. Once they come and go, these people will drag down the comprehension family who have no interest in mortal objects.

Now facing the problem of He Wuqi, You Xian Jiao Ming also felt that he could no longer hide it from him, so he sighed leisurely: "Of course I don't need it, but the steward who is not a high-level branch family likes these things very much and does things for us. people, don't treat them badly."

This is the reason, but He Wuqi always felt that there was a problem. After carefully comparing the differences between the north and the south, he complained: "The Dongling Jiange only has those mountains, and the Tianling Sect only occupies one city. Compared with them, our family There are too many people."

"All factions are expanding their scale to recruit new disciples. If we only guard our one-acre three-point land and let them develop, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will be removed from the five northern factions."

What he said casually was on point, and Youxian Jiao Ming felt thoughtful when he heard it.

It's like this, there are too many people, too much is too much, this is the problem in the north.In ancient times, there were only a few hundred people in a big sect, so naturally you can live a luxurious life.Up to now, there are tens of thousands of disciples from each sect in the north, and there are more monks, and the resources are not enough, so the new monks can only compete with ordinary people.

This is especially true among mortals. The family members of monks are exempt from taxes and contributions. In such an environment, hard work and serious business are not as good as having a gifted child. Marrying a monk, even if it is just a concubine, she is happy.There is not much land and food, and there are new babies in the family. Naturally, life becomes more and more difficult, and the situation of selling children and daughters is not uncommon.

The monks broke the system of aristocratic dictatorship, but established an even worse system of respecting the strong.Everyone has the possibility to give birth to a child with the talent of cultivating immortals. As long as there is a chance to be a master, who would like to stay at the bottom?It took so much effort to become a monk, how could they stop if they didn't get back what they originally had?

The popularity of monks has aroused everyone's desire, and human greed is the most terrible plague in the world.

Although the problem has been discovered, it is extremely difficult to change it. There are already this number of monks, so we can't expel the disciples who have already been accepted into the gate wall, right?If this is done, the other sects will be happy to accept the increased strength of these monks, and the weakened sect will become a piece of fat that can be shared.

"All factions are expanding their scale to recruit new disciples. If we only guard our one-acre three-point land and let them develop, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will be removed from the five northern factions."

The five northern sects say they are of the same spirit, but they are five completely different sects. No one dares to say that the other party and themselves are completely of the same mind, and they have always been on guard against each other.You Xian Jiao Ming calculated the risk of stopping the recruitment of new disciples first, and sighed distressedly, "At the beginning, I held it too tightly, but now I want to let go, but it is a dilemma."

Jianxiu had been listening to their conversation in silence. Although Youxian Jiao Ming didn't say anything, everyone understood how much wind and rain would be caused to shake the interests of a group.

Shi Ying still remembered that just after Gu Yusheng destroyed Xueyi Tiancheng, He Wuqi took the opportunity to subdue the other three factions, and then destroyed the imperial court, allowing the Tianyu family to completely rule the north and become the true lord of the north.If he hadn't gone back in time, according to the situation at that time, it would only take a hundred years for He Wuqi to attack the south and dominate the world.

He didn't know if this move solved the problem in the north, but since there was a chance to do it all over again, he still had to settle all the accounts that were buried forever with the killing.

Seeing that the pair of uncles and nephews fell silent, and the eight-wheeled qindori reached the fork, he asked his apprentice lightly, "Yu Sheng, where are you going next? Do you have any plans?"

You Xian Jiao Ming is one of the few sensible people in the north, if they can get the help of the Tian Yu family, it will be more convenient for them to move in the north.And Yuejing, which went north, was where Elder Shengxie lived, and it seemed that there was a lot of news about Jing Shizong hidden.As for the Huaimeng family in the west, according to Mu Haideng, there is at least one saint of the world hidden in it, and there may be traces of other white witches, which are also places that need to be visited.

Gu Yusheng is already the next head, and he still needs to decide where to go.Hearing this, Mu Haideng also remembered Master's instructions, and finally woke up from his drunkenness, and said, "Master, Grand Master died strangely. My Master has been investigating this matter. Now that you have arrived in the north, you'd better go to the prison as soon as possible." Meet him."

Elder Mu Yin's saber is in Mu Baiyi's hand, this matter will never be simple.Shi Ying remembered that when Xueyi Tiancheng attacked Dongling Jiange in the past, Elder Shengxie died in battle in the north, and many things had no follow-up because of this.Now after listening to Mu Haideng's words, I am quite moved.

When they talked about Yuejing, Ji Sui also remembered the family letter from the royal family, so he said to Gu Yusheng: "My emperor's nephew seems to be bullied by the Northern Alliance. Let's hold a banquet to meet each other. I still want to tell you whether he is my blood relative. As for the banquet, it's up to you whether to go or not."

She is not familiar with Gu Yusheng, and she is not very familiar with the attitude towards the head of the sect now. Gu Yusheng didn't care much about it. I want to go back to the old house of the Yuan family, our family has a tradition of recording the secret history of the dynasty since ancient times, maybe we can find some new clues."

They all wanted to go to Yuejing, but what Gu Yusheng cared about most was Master's opinion, so he turned to Shiying.The two were connected with each other, and Shi Ying immediately understood what his disciple meant, and nodded, "The cuckoo's blood was first infected among the people, and the imperial court should also know some news."

"Since that's the case, go to Yuejing first and make arrangements."

Everyone agreed that the itinerary was finalized. However, there were two other sword cultivators present. Gu Yusheng looked at Youxian Jiaoming, and asked, "The oath between the sect master and Youxian Jiaoming has been fulfilled. Do you want to make a decision?" What are your plans now?"

They only met to bring Jianxiu to the north, and now that the agreement has been reached after passing the city gate, it stands to reason that it is time to part ways.However, He Wuqi had just witnessed the miracle of the young monk's victory over Duchen in white, and he felt that this was more entertaining than any other drama. Seeing that these sword cultivators were going to Yuejing, it would definitely stir up storms in the city. Great fun scene.

Thinking about it this way, he didn't want to go home and live the depressing life of chatting with parrots all day long, so he immediately tugged on his second uncle's sleeve and begged, "Second uncle, there seems to be something exciting to watch in Yuejing, I want to follow them to see it."

This is more than just excitement, if you are not careful, it will turn into a catastrophe of war. Youxian Jiao Ming didn't want to let his nephew take risks, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he met the young man's eyes longing for freedom.

He suddenly remembered that 200 years ago, when everyone was young, Mu Baiyi was still a decent monk full of rules and disciplines, and he was the second son of the Tianyu family who was idle all day long, and that bright and lively woman was still alive, smiling like a flower when she looked back. , warm the whole winter.

That day, she also looked at him at the other end of the street, waving expectantly at him, "You Xian, You Xian, don't always be so slow. There are so many people on the street, if you don't follow me closely, maybe you will You can't find me in the blink of an eye!"

The laughing words at the beginning have now become a proverb. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, she and her eldest brother were married.Nothing remained but this child who looked like her.

What did Mu Baiyi tell you?You said you have my child, so why do you want to marry the elder brother?

The past is over, the doubts in You Xian Jiao Ming's heart have not been answered, and he doesn't want to know the answer, but he still can't bear to refuse the child's wish, and is finally willing to get involved in the doomed bloody dispute for him.

He stroked He Wuqi's head, smiled lightly and said, "If you want to go, second uncle will naturally accompany you."

Gu Yusheng once went north alone, so he naturally knew how much easier it would be to get help from a northern sect at this time.He never owes favors, and when faced with Youxian Jiao Ming's statement, he also replied with a message: "I believe Youxian Jiao Ming will not regret this decision, if my guess is correct, the mastermind who spread the cuckoo's blood must know about the third son." What is the reason for the abnormality of the body?"

He Wuqi's abnormal behavior must be caused by Bai Wu, even if it wasn't Mu Baiyi, he would definitely know who it was.Gu Yusheng still remembers that He Wuqi can't be happy or sad, and once there is a strong emotion, the soul will be torn apart, which is undoubtedly a sequela of the soul-soul fusion.Now that his five souls have not yet melted, as long as he finds out that white witch, there may be a possibility of curing him.

When mentioning He Wuqi's body, Youyou Jiaoming's expression became serious instantly, and he said suspiciously: "The son of our Tianyu family has never been away from anyone since he was born. Wuqi's mother died of dystocia. I have been with him since he was a child. So I took care of it secretly, and before the onset of the disease at the age of three, not to mention someone's hands and feet, not even scratches."

In fact, it is more than just a secret care.Youxian Jiao Ming thinks about the news she told him about Yuxi, and always wonders whose son this is. Since He Wuqi was born, he has been hiding by his side, and he never leaves day and night.It is also because of this that he believed in the saying that there is a difference in nature, and did not stop the eldest brother from isolating He Wuqi in Linyun Palace.

This situation is completely different from other pure world saints. Gu Yusheng can't figure out the reason for the time being, but firmly said: "The soul is naturally different, but there must be traces to follow if it is man-made."

The souls of Wan Yuezi and Concubine Jiang Xue were both in He Wuqi's body, which made You Xian Jiao Ming also suspect the so-called innate illness. Seeing Gu Yusheng's expression now, he felt that this was even more strange.He clenched his feather fan tightly, put aside all family interests, and replied without hesitation: "I will fight anyone who attacks this child, no matter who it is."

Emotions are Youxian Jiao Ming's only weakness, after 200 years, he just doesn't want to change.If He Wuqi is injured, even if the opponent is the Northern Alliance, or the entire cultivation world, he will only have one word - fight!

The author has something to say: Muhai Deng: The secret realm of the Heavenly Prison has been reclaimed, come to milk and come to dps!

Ji Sui: I will do my daily work, you can come or not.

Yuan Ru: Come to the teahouse to listen to the gossip, what if there is a strange encounter?

Shiying: I want to do story missions.

Gu Qiusheng Little Prince Yu Sheng: Alright, let's check the source of the plague first and make arrangements.
