Chapter 2260: Chapter 168-strange movement (2) Chapter 2260: Chapter 168-strange movement (2) If they couldn’t return it, they would have to pawn their belongings.

Many people worked hard for a year, but in the end, not only did they not get a single grain, but they also owed a lot of food. In the end, they could only sell themselves as slaves.

“That’s why we all abandoned our land and followed brother Quan out to do business.”

Everyone could earn some money from selling goods. If they were lucky, they could at least survive the winter when they returned home.

“That’s right, that’s brother Quan.”

As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at the leader of the merchants who was giving instructions to the group about ten meters away.

his name is Li Quan. He’s smart and bold. When he was young, he followed his elders to travel the world, so he has some experience.

Uncle Quan explained, ”

“Don’t blame him for not wanting to bring you along earlier. Everyone is really very poor. There is a fixed amount of food for each meal.”

Song qingxiao looked young and weak, so bringing her along would not be of any benefit to the group.

If they gave her food, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the other people in the team.

this is a very dangerous job. You’ll have to travel all over the country. You’ll encounter anything.

Everyone didn’t earn much, and it was hard work.

Just like today, Liu Zi had died in an accident, and his pension had to be squeezed out from the team.

With this sum of money, the people in the team would have wasted several months this year. Everyone was probably worried about this.

Therefore, when this group of people heard that something had happened to Liu Zi and that they had brought song qingxiao back, many of them looked dissatisfied.

It was only because of Li Quan’s prestige and the fact that it was the eldest uncle Shan who suggested bringing her along temporarily, that no one objected.

Song qingxiao had been cultivating for many years, and she no longer needed food.

However, when she heard that uncle Shan and the others had to work hard for a day’s meal, and that their family and friends had died tragically, she did not have time to feel sad. Instead, when she was worried about how they would make a living, she could not help but feel a trace of pity and helplessness.

“Why are the taxes so heavy?”

She had heard that uncle Shan listed all kinds of taxes and exploited them layer by layer. It was no wonder that everyone could not live on.

“Forget about the Imperial court’s taxes, what about the expenses of the imperial family’s protection and the state-protecting temple?”

Uncle Shan’s expression turned strange, as if he was curious that she didn’t know.

“The imperial family has the Imperial Qi to protect the country. In addition to the huge tax, they naturally have to pay taxes to support the imperial family.”

“..”Song qingxiao still didn’t understand the reason for the ‘Imperial Qi protecting the country’ and asked, ”

“Then what is the state-protecting temple?”

“You don’t even know about the nation protecting temple?”

If her previous question had surprised uncle Shan, it was not to the extent of being this shocked. Now that he saw that she did not even know about the state-protecting spell temple, he truly lost his composure.

“The nation protecting temple is indeed the nation protecting temple!”

He raised his voice, which attracted the attention of Li Quan and the others.

Uncle Shan quickly lowered his head when he realized this. He said softly, ”

“The monks of the temple of law have the power to suppress demonic possession.”

He shook his head as if he didn’t expect song qingxiao to not even know about the state-protecting temple. He explained to her, ”

you’ve seen it for yourself. People who become demonic will lose their minds and eat the people of the village.

If one died and became a demon, the entire clan would suffer.

The mages of the National temple had the power to suppress demonic Qi, so they were highly sought after by the people.

Every year, thirty percent of the harvest from the People’s hard work had to be handed over to the Imperial court, twenty percent to the imperial family, and the other forty percent had to be handed over to the state-protecting temple to support this group of monks who could suppress the devil.

In the Imperial court, the status of a monk was much higher than that of an official.

Even if they dared to avoid the Imperial court’s taxes, they would never dare to avoid the worship of the mages. They were deeply afraid that they would be rejected by the Buddha when they joined the devil, and then drag down the entire clan.

“I originally planned to bring you along and send you inside if we encounter a temple.” Uncle Shan’s eyes were filled with pity. you’ve seen people who joined the devil. Although they’re lucky enough to survive, they’re easily contaminated by the devil Qi. If a monk from the temple cast a spell, it’ll be absolutely safe.

But …

He hesitated and asked again, ”

“Do you have any relatives?”

“There’s no more.”

Song qingxiao shook her head.

She had only been pulled here by the taihao heavenly book. Although she did not know why she had appeared in that village, since she had encountered this group of people and encountered the demonic incident, there must be a reason.

No matter what, she had to find out the ins and outs of this demonic transformation. Perhaps she could find something beneficial to her.
