Chapter 256

At the top of Yiyun Tower, one of the eight major buildings in Yujing, the blind Taoist stands on the railings, and the Dayan Imperial City is full of eyes.

Above the imperial city, a headless yellow dragon entrenched. The dragon's aura was lingering and never dispersed but not stiff. There was a strange thread of vitality coming out of the dead head.

Next to the imperial city, there is also a dragon energy soaring into the sky, but its shape changes continuously, sometimes like an irregular Bagua diagram. Sumeru is like a high-sounding and strange god with tentacles surging behind him, and then becomes... the changes are strange and indescribable, but it has magical charm, making people unable to help but want to continue watching.

"My bet, stop quickly!"

Xue Li's voice came into the ears of the blind Taoist.

The blind Taoist, who was no longer blind, was shocked, and he reached into his right hand in his left sleeve and hurriedly released a piece of Huanglong Jade Gui that he had originally held tightly.

The dragon energy illusion disappeared without a trace, and the blind Taoist felt his face was wet.

Raise your hand and wipe it, your hands are covered with blood.

Almost a little bit, I'm going to be blind again.

"How long have I watched it?"

The blind Taoist took out his handkerchief and asked while wiping the blood and tears on his face.

"About three breaths." Xue Li replied, he was obviously worried: "My benefactor, you just...?"

The blind Taoist waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Looking at the blood-stained eyes of the blind Taoist, Xue Li wanted to speak but stopped. No matter how he looked, he didn't think it was okay.

The blind Taoist had wiped away his blood and tears. He turned his eyes to the high building as if nothing had happened, and said something completely unrelated to what he had just seen: "This city is getting more and more prosperous."

"Listen to the words of passers-by, it seems that it is the credit of the old man in the Prince of Wei's Mansion."

Xue Li replied.

Xue Li is not a well-known Beijinger, but he has had a good social skills and has talked with several Beijingers. He has now learned about the great changes that have taken place in Yujing during this period.

There is no need to say anything about the previous incident.

The cause of the huge change in Yujing was the reform of the Prime Minister of the King of Wei. Because the establishment of the Salt and Iron Commander and the Tax Police Corps not only killed people in Yujing, but also dispatched registered vendors everywhere, causing panic and depression in the market.

However, those who do small businesses were soon surprised to find that most of them were within the tax exemption range, and they didn’t even have to pay the tax on entering the city. Only large businesses such as Eight Buildings were subject to heavy taxes.

Most big businesses are still willing to pay taxes, because the Tax Police Corps not only collects taxes, but also cracks down on bullying, donating miscellaneous fees, and collecting protection fees. The collection of protection fees has disappeared. Paying commercial taxes can eliminate a lot of unwilling and evil expenses, which is a cost-effective transaction at least.

A small number of big business companies think it is unreasonable. After all, the big boss behind them is either a real power figure in the court or a nobleman from generation to generation. Then there are one in their backing. Because of various reasons that they don’t want to do, those who are demoted will be demoted, and then... these big business companies are particularly proactive in replenishing their taxes.

Except for East City and West City, all neighbors are allowed to open shops, and commodity trading has become very active.

Unexpectedly, the scary plague suddenly broke out, and even the little emperor was not spared. Fortunately, relying on the old man from the Prince of Wei's Mansion to show his power, the epidemic, which was almost bound to die, was almost relieved.

In order to prevent the plague from recurring, Yujing launched a massive sanitation campaign. Countless garbage in 1982 were cleaned up, and open ditches that had been blocked for many years were re-unlocked. In the future, if the garbage was not dumped according to regulations, they would be severely punished.

Jingzhao Yin added a new sanitation room in addition to the six rooms, which specializes in clean internal and external sanitation of Yujing. The entire Yujing environment has become clean and has become very livable.

As for the revolt of King Kang, although many people died, it had little impact on ordinary people.

The sun rises as usual, and you still have to eat, drink, and do coolies.

The capital city did not become better because King Kang returned to Beijing, nor did it become worse because King Kang was killed.

But the problem is that the capital is indeed prosperous nowadays.

What is the reason?

It is because the old man of the King of Wei’s Mansion opened an altar on the Louguan Platform not far from the capital to preach and collecting three thousand disciples!

Old Master Tang only accepted three thousand disciples, but the number of seekers gathered under the Louguan Platform was more than three times that of this.

Among those who seek the Tao, many have reached the realm of immortals who can eat the wind and drink the dew, and do not eat the fireworks of the world.

Most of the people who fail to meet the standards, as well as those who fail to meet the standards, are still unavoidable and have needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This is not one or two people, but about twenty thousand people!

The place closest to Louguantai, which can meet this huge demand is Yujing.

How can the market not prosper?

It is said that many people who cannot do small tax business now regard the old man Tang as the God of Wealth, and they are particularly pious in the morning and evening.

It is well-known and passed down by word of mouth, and it is the birth of Buddhas of all families.

However, Xue Li was more concerned about: "My benefactor, the passers-by said that three thousand disciples rushed to the deceased ghost realm to save the world. How much do you think is true?"

When asked what point it was true, Xue Li actually disagreed.

How can a person cross time and space to the dead world?

"It's probably true." said the blind Taoist: "At the beginning, I made a few prophecies for the dead ghost."

Without Xue Li asking again, the blind Taoist took the initiative to say: "One spirit, one spirit, one young spirit, one spirit, one phoenix flying without a trace, one spirit searched in the wetland, one spirit sees injustice. The three spirits gathered in the white jade capital, and the jade crown and brocade brought their descendants..."

Xue Li quickly tried to stop the blind Taoist from revealing the news: "My benefactor, stop revealing the secret of heaven again!"

"Haha--" The blind Taoist smiled a little: "What has happened is still a secret?"

One of the three spirits of prophecy is the eldest princess Tian Fuling. I guessed it when I got the prophecy.

The other two spirits should be one of the Huanyue Zhenren Wu Youling, and the other is the female fairy deer in Yanzhi Mountain.

If these three spirits are helped, the hidden dragon will rise to the abyss and overturn Dayan, which will be as easy as turning back.

But even if I guess all three spirits, what's the use?

Who would have thought that Mu Guanying would be a piece of mud that cannot be supported by the wall?

Who would have thought that the three spirits I guessed at a huge price would have to count one and all fall into the hands of an old man?

Time? Destiny!

Fortunately, from the beginning, what I wanted to do was not to support the Qianlong.

But life is not satisfactory. Although I successfully won Mu Guanying's Dragon Aura, I also killed the fifth senior brother who intended to ruin my good deeds, and seized the Dayan Longgui hidden by Master Tongxuan in Longtan, Qingshuihe Town, but I still cannot transcend life and death.

There is still something that binds my soul and makes me suffer and unable to be liberated!

I broke the taboos of the master's sect and dig for myself.

The hexagrams that are combined by themselves are a few slander poems and essays—

The twelve floors of the Golden Hall of Jade Tower, bells, drums, delicacies, jade water, dragons, and roars. They are not the same as those who pass by Chang'an, stay in Xinghua, and level the bones of gods and demons in the thousands of realms, and destroy the souls of monsters in all realms.

...

What does this evil hexagram mean?

What I ask for is obviously immortality?

After thinking about it, the blind Taoist finally found two things he knew from the hexagram.

Chang'an, Xinghua.

Yujing is divided into two counties, ten thousand years east and Chang'an west.

There is a Xinghua Pond next to the west city of Yujing. No matter how high or low a person, everyone can enjoy a relaxing place.

Passing Chang'an, stationed in Xinghua...

"Xue Li, are you full?"

The blind Taoist looked at Xue Li.

"Filling enough wine and eating!"

Xue Li replied.

"It's good to be full." The blind Taoist nodded and said, "Xue Li, the kindness between you and me is almost done with fullness."

Xue Li was shocked and hurriedly said, "My benefactor..."

"Listen to me first!" The blind Taoist stopped Xue Li from speaking: "I will lend you three points of luck and give you a word "大大". Xue Li, you must remember it. No matter who asks you in the future, your word "大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大

Two lines of blood and tears flowed out from the eyes of the blind Taoist who was sternly questioning again.

Xue Li had no choice but to respond: "I understand."

"Haha, just remember it!" The blind Taoist's expression became serious: "Xue Rengui, the kindness between you and me has been settled. From now on, you will be a person you have never known each other. If you have the intention to stand out, then go to Guiyifang for a while without deliberately pursuing freedom. If you have no intention of being a general, then go home as soon as possible to be filial to your mother. You can consider what to do. In short, it's enough to do it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Li clasped his fists solemnly: "My benefactor, a certain family... no, Rengui, remember."

The blind Taoist waved his hand, covered his eyes with a handkerchief, and walked out of the private room of the restaurant, and went downstairs toward Yongxingchi.

After a while, Xue Li, who looked a little confused, walked out of Yiyun Tower.

I, Xue Li, where should I go?
