In today's world, the peaceful and prosperous times have long since passed away, so I took Wang Yan to walk this way. What I saw, there were turmoil in many places, the government was negligent, and the people who suffered were always the common people.
Just like this treasury theft, in order to save the lives of his Wusha cap and the officials of the yamen, Qiantang county magistrate had no choice but to increase the tax by 20% on the basis of the original collection.
The treasury silver is to be handed over to the national treasury. At present, the stolen treasury silver cannot be recovered, so it is plundered from the people to fill the vacancy.
As the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. The people above only want the results and don’t pay attention to the process. Therefore, the two percent of the tax must be paid by the common people, and even if they don’t pay, no one will accept it. .
In fact, without the permission of the people above, how could he dare to make such a big move just by virtue of his small Qiantang county magistrate
The land of Yuhang, although the economy is prosperous, can't stand such a toss. 20% of the tax is not a big deal for people with wealthy families, but for ordinary people, this is enough for them to live for half a year.
Therefore, for a while, the people were full of resentment, and they only blamed the thief who stole the treasury silver.
Wang Yan is an outsider, and he cannot intervene in the decision-making of the government, but he has the responsibility to eliminate the demons who are behind all this.
That's why he found Li Gongfu and cooperated with him, which could not only avoid direct entanglement with the government, but also solve the problem, and even prove the guess in his heart, killing three birds with one stone.
The technique of hiding in the Qing Snake district naturally cannot be compared with Wang Yan's soaring clouds and mists. When he arrived at the western suburbs of West Lake, the young master in Tsing Yi plunged into a dilapidated mansion and disappeared in an instant.
Wang Yan descended from the sky, looked around, and saw a desolate state, with broken walls everywhere, and the yard was already overgrown with weeds.
This is the residence of Prince Qiu, who was ordered to raid his house and destroy his family thirty years ago.
Stepping into the main hall, it was already full of spider webs, Wang Yan swung it down with a whisk, and everything was under control as far as his eyes went.
"Clearly..."
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Jian Xiao sounded behind him.
Wang Yan was already prepared, he tilted his head slightly, the opponent's long sword stabbed into the air, Wang Yan turned around, swept the dust away, and hit the green snake unstoppable.
The young master in Tsing Yi slid back a few steps, pulled a sword flower, and bursts of blue light surged out of his chest, blocking Wang Yan's dust.
Wang Yan whisked the dust, retracted on his own, gathered vitality in his body, and injected it into the whisk along his right hand, and a flame ignited in an instant.
"Clap..."
The whisk was thrown down, and there was a burst of sound, and the flame was like a fire dragon, driving straight in, and swept towards Young Master Tsing Yi.
Qing Snake was also not to be outdone, and pinched a magic formula with five fingers on his left hand. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a Taoist handprint. With a flick of the sword, a burst of green energy burst out, fighting against Wang Yan's flames, and immediately disappeared. .
"You Taoist priest is so unreasonable. I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity with you recently. Why do you have to live with me?"
The young master in Tsing Yi stepped away and scolded Wang Yan angrily.
"It's true that you and I have no grievances and no grudges, but you stole the treasury silver, causing the people to increase their taxes and complaining. As a monk of the human race, Pindao has the responsibility to eliminate the evil spirits and demons, so as to give justice to the suffering people."
Wang Yan's words were sonorous and forceful, without any hesitation.
"Pindao once said that it's not easy to cultivate in your mind. If you want to return the stolen treasury silver and return to the right path, Pindao can let you live."
For his words, Qing Snake didn't take it seriously, just sneered.
"If you want silver, then see if you have that ability!"
After all, the long sword in his hand exudes green light, and he stabs it first.
"Be stubborn, don't blame the poor road for not giving you a chance!"
Without so many scruples, Wang Yan simply stopped showing mercy.
In the past few decades, in addition to the increase in the cultivation of Taoism, he also has a little more calmness and kindness, not only for the green snake, but also for any monsters and monsters whose nature is not bad, he is willing to stay alive.
Because he knows that cultivation is not easy, and demon cultivation is even more difficult. This is a competition with heaven and earth for good fortune. If you are not careful, it will disappear into thin air, and it is extremely dangerous.
But if he encounters those heinous monsters who take pleasure in murdering people, he will never show mercy, and if he can kill them, he will never suffer from future troubles.
The green snake is only stealing the treasury silver, and has not yet seen anyone hurt or killed, so Wang Yan, as usual, is willing to give him a chance to rehabilitate.
But since he doesn't cherish it, he can't do anything about it.
No matter whether he is Xiaoqing or Daqing, or whether he has any connection with the white snake, as long as he dares to commit evil and harm others and threaten the lives of the people of the human race, even if it is the thousand-year-old snake demon Bai Suzhen, he will still not give face.
At this moment, the young master in Tsing Yi burst out with demonic energy, and he attacked Wang Yan violently. Under his demonic magic, black energy emerged from the bottom of the Qiu Wangfu. This is the grievances and grievances who died here.
In an instant, the wind was blowing, the sand was flying, and the many resentful ghosts were crying and howling. Under the control of the other party, they launched an attack on Wang Yan.
The reason why he led Wang Yan to this place was that he wanted to use the dead souls in the palace to help him and have a better chance of winning.
But he obviously didn't know that this seemingly ordinary Taoist priest's real Taoism cultivation was many times higher than his!
Wang Yan's vitality has not yet fully recovered, and currently he is only half of his previous strength, but dealing with this snake demon who has only cultivated for more than 500 years, as well as a group of grievances and grievances, is no problem at all.
The whole body exudes a faint golden light, and the body-protecting spell is exposed. It is difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close. Wang Yan's whisk stretches out, and Laoshan Leifa blesses it. Every move is accompanied by a burst of thunder.
No matter how good Qing Snake's long sword is, it is still made of iron after all. Lightning strikes, and it is immediately passed down as a conductor. I only feel a tingling pain in the right hand holding the sword, and my whole body is numb. I can't help loosening it, and the long sword flew out of my hand.
"Snake demon, today I will let you taste the power of the Five Thunders!"
After drinking, Wang Yanfuchen withdrew, his vitality poured into his palms, and two rays of light, one red and one yellow, condensed, and within the rays of light, thunder and lightning exploded.
"Boom..."
The Wulei Palm was taken from the Wulei Tiangang Zhengfa. Although it only had its shape, each palm blasted with the power of the sky and was unstoppable.
Seeing this, Qing Snake was also horrified. The other party could easily use the thunder method to subdue the demon. One can imagine how extraordinary it is.
It was not until now that he completely understood that this person was fundamentally different from ordinary Maoshan Taoist priests, and that he was a real Taoist master.
At the moment, he was dodging and dodging again and again, not daring to take the move at all, and at the same time looking for opportunities to escape.
It's just that his thoughts can't be concealed from Wang Yan. He missed the two palms, and he was already thinking, and the immortal binding rope on his wrist flew out with lightning speed, tying the opponent tightly in an instant. .
"Humph! Pindao, see where you can hide now!"
As he spoke, another wave of thunder condensed out of his palm.
"The Daoist is merciful, and the little demon is willing to listen to the Daoist's persuasion!"
At the juncture of life and death, he also knew that he was afraid, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Don't lie to the Taoist priest, the little demon also worshipped the Antarctic fairy as his teacher, and he cultivated the right way. one side."
The bundle of immortal cables restrained his movements, and the more he struggled, the tighter he felt. Qing Snake only felt that all the spells in his body seemed to be locked firmly and could not be used at all. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Xianweng disciple? Do you think Pindao looks like a three-year-old child?"
Hearing this sentence, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
