He Lang was speechless, feeling that he was suspected of playing the zither of a cow, and he didn't know how to answer the Taoist priest's words.

The seventh girl said lightly: "The Cold Pond is located on the Tianshan Mountains near the Huai River. It is a forbidden place. It is rumored that a dragon is hidden deep in it, often causing wind and waves. Because it is contaminated with the energy of the dragon, the fish and shrimp in the Cold Pond are the most nourishing and difficult to catch. It is the rarest ingredient in the Holy De of the Great Pond."

"Jiulong?" Qin Xianyu often saw records in books, but he had never heard of such a thing.

"Although it is a rumor, the rumors are not false. There is indeed a demon dragon in the cold pond." The seventh girl said: "This demon dragon is good at making waves and has a very high Taoist practice. It is said that it is comparable to a real person at the peak of dragon and tiger. According to Mr. Yuan Shoufeng, the imperial guardian, if there is no change, within thirty years, this dragon will be over a thousand years old and can turn into a dragon and ascend to the sky."

Qin Xianyu could hear the truth. Such things were only seen in books in the past, and they were all fabricated. Today, I learned from the seventh girl that the dragon in the cold pond actually existed in the world, and I couldn't help but fascinated.

"The fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles in the cold pond are all contaminated with dragon energy, which is different from ordinary people." The seventh girl continued: "The spotted fish are the blood descendants of dragons, both large and small, as big as a carriage and horse, as small as a palm. Because the scales and armor of the spotted fish are as solid as iron, the fish skin is flexible, and the meat is nourished, it is the most famous treasure in the cold pond."

"In the Great Destiny Army, there were generals wearing armor made of spotted fish scale armor, and the soft armor made of fish skin in the middle was much more effective than ordinary armor."

The seventh girl looked at the fish skin on the table and said, "The fish skin of the spotted fish is much more flexible than cowhide. To use it as a ingredient, it requires multiple processes. But using a set of high-quality materials for soft armor as a ingredient is really a luxury."

Qin Xianyu finally solved the doubt.

He Lang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Why did he become the seventh junior sister talking to this little Taoist priest about the matter of the dragon in the cold pond, just like discussing the Tao and solving doubts?

The situation he finally created was about to lose all the face of this little Taoist priest, so how could he give up?

He Lang coughed and said, "The Cold Pond is the forbidden area of ​​the Great Destiny. This spotted fish is extremely rare and can be called a treasure. Even those few eggs are considered to be the most common ones at this half table of banquets, but they are not something that ordinary people can see."

Qin Xianyu's eyes turned indifferent and said, "As far as Xiaodao knows, there are people in the market who slaughter sheep and dogs. When stewing meat, if an egg is added, the meat will be nourished and all the nutrients will be absorbed by the eggs. If you kill a dog next door and cook food, if you put an egg in it, you should pay half of the dog meat. Could it be that this is also a similar approach?"

He Lang smiled and said, "That's right, but Taoist priest didn't know that this time we were not stewing a fat sheep, but hundreds of divine war horses transported from Chu State outside the Holy Dynasty of Great Masters. Just an egg should have a price of dozens of taels, which is comparable to the cost of ordinary people for several years. As for those poor and bastard families, hey, even more than ten years of money, you may not be able to earn decades of silver."

Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "The Taoist priest takes advantage of this banquet and doesn't have to pay. He should eat some quickly, so as not to regret it after leaving. Of course, if you want to say a few more words to me and consume some energy so that you can eat more, then I should accompany you."

He Lang did not hide his voice, and almost everyone heard this.

Someone couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What Brother He said is exactly." Qin Xianyu said: "Double taels of silver are an unimaginable fortune for those who cook firewood, catch fish, and sell noodles. Without mentioning the daily expenses, even if you don't eat or drink, you may not be able to save it for half your life."

Qin Xianyu raised the chopsticks, picked up one, and bit the half of it. He felt the fragrance was full of the mouth and the texture was very smooth. He immediately laughed and said, "It's really great."

Seeing that he had eaten half of it, He Lang sneered and was about to speak out again.

But Qin Xianyu asked, "Brother He is a disciple of the Imperial Heaven Sect, and he receives a salary from the court?"

He Lang didn't know what he meant, but he was not afraid. He replied casually: "Although the Imperial Heaven Supervision is extraordinary, it is still supported by the court and should receive the court's salary."

"Yes, the court's salary." Qin Xianyu laughed softly: "Where does the court's salary come from?"

He Lang was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer.

The seventh girl raised a smile and waited quietly for the next words.

"Didn't the court's salary come from the treasury tax? "

“But where does the tax bank come from?”

"It was drawn from the people."

Qin Xianyu looked at He Lang and said, "The Great Holy Dynasty is more generous than other countries, and only collects half of the taxes. But how can this half of the taxes be reduced? For every ten silver money you earn, you should pay five, and the remaining five can barely support your family. Some of them earn less. How can you die from hunger and cold? "

“But where are these taxes used?”

"The tax silver is paid to the treasury, built palaces, built scenery, and built carriages, so that the high-ranking officials and nobles can squander their salaries and give them to officials from all sides, but there are also many corrupt and perverted people. Regardless of him, these are just a huge amount of money that ordinary people cannot imagine in their lifetime."

Qin Xianyu stood up, patted He Lang's shoulder gently, and said, "Brother He received the salary of the court and spent the taxes and silver for the people, but he still called these parents with the word "poverty and humbleness". He was indeed a noble person."

He Lang's face turned red and he was embarrassed and angry.

Even though there were many monks present, they realized that they were all extraordinary people, but they couldn't help but remain silent.

Xu Liang sighed softly and said, "Gao Lun."

Qin Xianyu looked at He Lang with a serious face and said, "Although Brother He and Xiaodao didn't know each other before, if you think about it carefully, we have a great relationship."

He Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Who has any connection with you?"

"This is wrong." Qin Xianyu said: "Although Xiaodao has no business, Xiaodao has paid for food, clothing and expenses on weekdays. You also know that the court collects taxes and silver, so the store costs are higher, so naturally, it is necessary to increase the price to make money. If you calculate carefully, Xiaodao will inevitably have the shadow of taxes when buying a bun or changing clothes on weekdays."

He Lang was not all ignorant, so he could already hear what Qin Xianyu meant.

This Taoist priest claimed that he would pay for daily food, clothing, and spend money, which means that he would have a share of the taxes and silver in the court. Then, isn't he also paid for the salary paid by the court?

The seventh girl felt even more interesting and chuckled.

The implicit meaning of this little Taoist priest is: He is He Lang's parents of food and clothing, but He Lang takes his money and spends it randomly.

He Lang was so angry that he took a step back and broke free from the palm of Qin Xianyu's hand that was placed on him.

"A egg can be compared to the cost of ordinary people for several years, and the cost of living for poor people for decades. The cost of a table of wine and food here is a huge fortune that many families will never imagine in their lifetime."

"If it was exchanged for silver and distributed, I don't know how many poor families could be saved?"

Qin Xianyu seemed to be talking to himself and sighed: "As the saying goes, the rich people smell wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road."

"But how many people can remember where the silver you spend on wine and meat comes from? Like Brother He, he calls it the word "poverty and humbleness", full of contempt. Have you ever remembered that the salary you received, the daily expenses, food, drink, whore and gambling are all hard-earned money taken from the people?"

His voice was plain and he spoke slowly without any enthusiasm, but he finally made He Lang speechless.

After a long time, He Langcai said with a blue face: "I am doing business for the court and receiving the salary of the court, not a shitty tax. Besides, although there is food and drink, where does the word "prostitution and gambling come from?"

Qin Xianyu said oh, saying, "Eating, drinking, gamble, just easy to say, so don't care too much about these details."

"The Taoist priest said it very well."

The Young Master Shang suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, and smiled and said, "It's just that this banquet was set up by my Shangyang Valley. I am not a member of the court and I don't have a salary. The expenses of this banquet are just the expenses of Shangyang Valley."

"The wool always comes from the sheep." Qin Xianyu laughed softly, and without saying much, he raised his chopsticks, ate the half egg in two bites, and praised him: "It really tastes great."

After saying that, he took out dozens of taels of silver from his arms and threw it on the ground.

"Since you have eaten your egg, I will pay you dozens of taels of silver."

Qin Xianyu laughed out loud and walked out.

He Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Is it that he humiliated me so much that I want to leave?"

Qin Xianyu turned his head and asked, "Brother He thought his salary was insufficient, so he wanted to ask Xiaodao to increase taxes?"

He Lang held his face red.

Over there, Young Master Shang looked ugly and winked. A master of internal strength immediately stepped forward to stop him.

The guard shouted, "Bold Taoist, you are so rude, come to the banquet in Shangyang Valley to make a fuss. Do you still want to leave easily?"

After his words fell, he rushed towards Qin Xianyu.

The martial arts master already has eight inches of internal strength, and can compete with the peak figure of nine inches of true energy by relying solely on martial arts.

In He Lang's opinion, this young Taoist priest has a little temperament, but after all, he has no fame. He should be similar to himself, just to cultivate a sense of energy.

However, in the eyes of Xu Liang, Young Master Shang and others, this young Taoist priest had a fluctuation of true qi, which was considered to be a cultivation level that had been successful in cultivation and solidified the true qi. However, Young Master Shang was only the first to become true qi. The little Taoist priest seemed a few years younger than Young Master Shang, and at most he would become true qi.

It is just because the Gangsha figures have some strange phenomena after the true energy condenses the evil spirit. Qin Xianyu's own innate Hunyuan Ancestor Qi is relatively special and does not show any changes in evil spirits, so there is no strange phenomenon. In addition, Qin Xianyu is not very old and is just a young man, so no one thinks that he has Gangsha cultivation.

When the eight-inch internal force guard rushed over, everyone thought he could only be easily captured.

However, Qin Xianyu just waved his hand.

A strong wind blew out of thin air.

The master of internal strength pounced on the air and was suddenly blown back by the wind.

"True Qi is released?"

Everyone exclaimed, especially He Lang and Young Master Shang were the most surprised.

He Lang was frozen in place.

Young Master Shang's face was even more low and twitched vaguely. He thought that it was rare to cultivate true qi when he was under twenty years old. However, he didn't expect that a young Taoist priest who came out of nowhere actually had his true qi out, which was enough to be among the top 30 outstanding people.

Even though he is the young master of Shangyang Valley, if nothing unexpected happens, he will only be able to release his true energy only after he is over fifty.

But who is that little Taoist priest?

Xu Liangru was struck by lightning and murmured to himself: "The true qi is released? No, it can blow away the eight-inch internal strength master in one fell swoop. How wild the wind is, it will definitely not only be able to practice qi cultivation! At least it is better than me, who is this Taoist priest?"

Qin Xianyu glanced at everyone, showed an apology to the seventh girl, then laughed out loud and walked out the door.

The breeze surrounds the road and the robes fly.

There was endless laughter.

There is a breeze blowing, and the crane cloud tower is filled with the wind.
