I became immortal in Tianzong Sword

Chapter 434 Visiting the Land

Gongsunzhi's life is really hard.

When he came to these three mountains, he wanted to live in the county government office in a small town, but found that the county government office had been in disrepair for a long time and could not live there.

And there are no big families around to stay overnight. In order not to disturb the people, the group can only camp outside the city.

At the same time, they also felt the resistance of the residents of Sanshanling, and this contradiction was almost irreconcilable.

The young Gongsunzhi said: "The residents here live and work in peace and contentment without the government's jurisdiction. What should I do?"

At this time, a middle-aged scribe beside him said, "Young Master Zhi, to be honest, we didn't expect this place to look like this."

"According to the records of the palace in the early years, the former king personally ordered the administration to be abandoned here. I thought that the people's livelihood must have been dying here, but I didn't expect..."

Gongsunzhi smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect this place to become a paradise."

"My elder brother really picked a good place for me."

This phrase is a pun.

At first, I thought this was a barren land and needed hard work to develop.

It turns out that this is a paradise now, but if it is forced to tax, I am afraid it will lose the hearts of the people.

Gongsun Zhi was caught in a dilemma.

The middle-aged scribe said: "Actually, Master Zhi has a benevolent heart and is in such a predicament. As far as the students are concerned, they only need to announce my Dayan law and the official documents of the palace to the residents here, and then we will follow the rules."

"Of course the troublemakers here will be rebellious for a while, but they will get used to it after a long time."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hands again and again and said, "It's not right, it's such a big mistake."

"It was my grandfather who gave up on them and made them deserted citizens. It doesn't make sense for me to come here and ask them to pay taxes again."

"So I think that Mr. Wen's words are right. We really need to inform everyone of our existence first, and then work hard to manage everything here."

"When everyone sees our efforts, it will be much easier to raise taxes by then."

Mr. Wen was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then he bowed and said: "Master Zhi is kind, but in this way, the food and clothing of the hundred guards will have to be subsidized by the master himself."

Gongsunzhi nodded and said: "My mother and father gave some before I left home. It must be able to help everyone survive this most difficult period of time."

At this time, Taoist Heron gave a rather subtle smile.

Gongsunzhi was young but very good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw it, he immediately said to Helu, "Master, what do you think of my handling like this?"

Mr. Na Wen frowned and looked at the old Taoist in front of him. In fact, he was very displeased with the sudden appearance of Mr. Zhi's master.

He wants to see what the old man can say.

Taoist Helu stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "This method is quite good, but the effect is too slow, and it is too much of your money."

"In fact, I see that the weather here is good, and the three surrounding mountains are also quite spiritual. There must be a very good land god here."

"Besides, I also heard that the Earth Temple here is quite effective when I was traveling just now, and most of the local residents are believers of the Earth God."

"So if we can go and see this land first, then everything you want to do will be more effective with less effort."

Mr. Wen sneered and said, "Master Canglu, what do you mean to tell Mr. Zhi to ask ghosts and gods instead of folk customs?"

Helu said humanely: "Of course, after all, this is a world where ghosts and gods run rampant."

Mr. Wen wanted to say something more, but Gongsunzhi had already made a decision: "Mr. Wen doesn't need to say more, I decided to go to worship the Earth Temple with Master first."

He saw the disappointment on Mr. Wen's face, and then added: "It's just that this is not all about 'asking ghosts and gods', and it also means hoping that this matter can be recognized by the people here."

After hearing this, Mr. Wen nodded and said: "If Mr. Zhi means this, then it is right."

Taoist Heron shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, and then said: "Actually, don't be too nervous. One side of the land is only the lowest-ranked fifth-level god in the structure of the heavenly god system. It will be replaced every five hundred years. Generally, they will give us These immortal cultivators have a face."

Gongsun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then it will be Master Lao."

With that said, the group of them prepared some sacrificial offerings, and then went to the Earth Temple.

From a distance, they saw that there were many pilgrims coming and going in the earth temple, and there was even a lot of offerings in the temple.

And seeing their large group of people coming, those pilgrims who came to offer incense naturally avoided far away.

When they entered the earth temple, they discovered that there were no statues of gods in this temple!

There is nothing on the empty shrine, so that everyone wants to worship without any goal.

It was also the first time Taoist Heron had encountered such a strange thing, he stepped on his feet quickly and said: "Poverty Taoist Heron, please show yourself to this land."

Taoist Heron is full of self-confidence, and feels that it should be simple to invite the land with his cultivation base of a Mahayana celestial being.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no response from the earth temple.

This made him quite embarrassed.

Gongsun Zhi hurriedly added for his master: "Maybe the God of Earth is not at home."

Taoist Helu shook his head and said, "No, since it is a piece of land, he must have known about it when we came to this land."

Mr. Na Wen couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I'm afraid this land is ashamed to meet the Allah of this place?"

What he meant was that these three mountains belonged to Gongsun Zhi, and even if there really was a land god, he would obey Gongsun Zhi's orders.

However, at this moment, two boys who looked like porcelain dolls suddenly walked out of the back hall of the Earth Temple.

They said: "The distinguished guest is coming, and the two masters invite the distinguished guest to come in and have a talk."

Taoist Helu asked in surprise, "Are you all servant boys of this land?"

The two boys nodded and said: "My master took pity on me and took Tong'er in to take care of this earth temple for the two masters."

Taoist Helu couldn't help sighing: "It seems that this land is also extraordinary."

Gongsunzhi asked curiously: "Master, what is this saying?"

Taoist Canglu said to the two boys: "Using stubborn stones to turn boys into boys like this is usually a method that can only be used by those who have already become immortals."

Mr. Wen said strangely: "What kind of stubborn stone enlightens a boy, isn't this just an ordinary boy?"

Taoist Canglu shook his head helplessly and said, "How can the naked eye know the true God?"

"If you still don't believe me, just follow us to meet the master and you will know."

The two children immediately walked to the inner room.

Taoist Helu immediately followed, he was also very curious about the land god in this place.

His disciple Gongsun Zhi did not hesitate, and followed immediately.

It was Mr. Na Wen who hesitated a little before walking over with the four guards.

When they came to the inner room, they found that two boys were manipulating a curtain hanging on the wall, and then opened the bright yellow curtain for everyone.

And the moment the curtain was drawn, they were stunned to see the scene of a small farmyard behind the curtain.

"When we came, didn't we see any farm houses behind this earth temple?" Mr. Wen said in surprise.

Taoist Canglu, on the other hand, sighed with Nianxu: "Sure enough, there is something cunning about it. Even the poor Taoist didn't see the clues in advance. This method is really good."

"Teacher, be careful to be polite when you see the god, the land god here is extraordinary."

Gongsun Zhi nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but his brows frowned involuntarily, probably because he was thinking about him.
