I have a two world clock

Chapter 86

"Peach Feast?"

After the white crane boy disappeared, Li Mu held the post and looked at it in front of his eyes. He saw that the post was made of a strange material, neither gold nor wood, nor skin nor stone. There was a strange rune on it. The whole post was golden in color, emitting a faint golden light.

"Who is this Yuanhua Emperor?"

Li Mu turned around and looked at the Luanjia pulled by the six golden dragons. He saw auspicious light filling the sky, auspicious aura rushing to the sky, the six dragons climbing all the way up, breaking through the void in an instant, and disappearing.

Li Mu has heard of the Peach Festival. It is said that in the Jinchi Cave of Yuting Mountain in the Western Pole today, there is a Jinchi Madonna, also known as the Jinchi Empress, who planted nine thousand fairy peaches on the Qingyun Terrace. Every ten years, the world will be invited. All the immortals went to the Pantao Festival together.

The gods who are eligible to be invited are either holy, immortal Buddhas, or ancient gods sitting in one side. At that time, the world's revered and Taoist ancestors will come to join in, promote the orthodoxy, and exchange experiences.

The folks of the Great Yin Dynasty will also hold a water and land meeting on March [-]. Under the advocacy of the government, Buddhism and Taoism will pray for the people and luck for the country.

This day can be said to be a day of celebration between heaven and man.

"I'm not a god, why would you invite me?"

Holding the invitation card, Li Mu was very puzzled: "It is said that those who are eligible to receive the invitation card are either gods and Buddhas or sages and elves. How come I, a little monk in the Qi refining period, have received the invitation card?"

In the world of practice, the four major sects of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and magic are respected as the source of practice.

As long as it is a monk, as long as it is a monk of the human race, it is impossible to get rid of the influence of these four sects' practice ideas.

And only the monks who have obtained the true inheritance and achieved Dao fruit in these four major sects can be named in the gold book and be the authentic ones of heaven and earth.

If a monk who has not obtained the true biography of the four major sects, even if he survives the catastrophe and becomes an immortal, he is only an immortal of Taiyi, not as good as Zhenliu.

According to Li Mu's understanding, if you don't have the inheritance of the four major sects, even if you become a god, you are still a graduate of the Pheasant University, and the official department does not recognize your education.

Only students who have graduated from prestigious schools (four major sects) and entered regular universities through the unified entrance examination, will the Heavenly Court department recognize your academic qualifications and recognize your academic certificates.

Only students with this kind of certificate are eligible to mix into the system and become a member of the system, and those students who have not graduated from famous universities, even if they are strong and capable, but their first degree has already determined their fate, unless If there are people in the family, otherwise you will not be a member of the system at all, and you will not be a civil servant.

Therefore, a monk without an orthodox inheritance cannot enter a big power, cannot become a civil servant, and after becoming a fairy, he is only a casual number of Taiyi, not a real stream.

This kind of Sanxian is basically not qualified to participate in the Pantao Festival.

In modern society, Sanxian is equivalent to ordinary people in the heaven, and they are not qualified to participate in this meeting or that, nor have the ability to participate in the discussion.

But now, Li Mu suddenly has the qualifications to participate in the conference!

His invitation is equivalent to a certificate of admission to the establishment, a certificate of civil servant position, and the qualification to participate in some high-end conferences...

"The Emperor Yuanhua who posted this post is really capricious!"

Li Mu put away the Fatie, summoned a paper bird puppet again, drove the bird, and flew to Qinghe County: "Now that I have achieved a turn, I am still far from the realm of the immortal, and I don't know if I will be able to really do it in nine years. Have the ability to participate in the Pantao Festival!"

His family has passed down the Nine-Turn Yuan Kung Fu, and he has incredible supernatural powers. After practicing at the third turn, he can call the wind and rain, spread beans into soldiers, and possess skills that are not inferior to immortals. But now, he has only cultivated the first turn to the perfection state. , the distance from the third round is still far away.

He himself is not sure that he will be able to cultivate to the third turn of the golden elixir within nine years.

I didn't encounter any special things along the way, and I occasionally saw a flash of light in the distance, and Li Mu didn't bother to investigate.

The last time he rode the bird to fly to the sky, he hadn't noticed that there were so many monks in the sky. Today, he didn't know what happened, there were so many monks in the sky, and there were even super masters at the master level.

Half an hour later, Qinghe County was already in sight.

Li Mu received the paper bird puppet, stepped forward in the air, and cast the space technique he had just realized, and arrived at Qinghe County in an instant.

He landed in the yard behind his jewelry store. When he walked into the store from the yard, he saw Sun Honglie talking with a customer. He waved to Sun Honglie and signaled him to continue, while he walked out of the store. .

Walking along the street for a while, I happened to pass by the gate of the county government office, and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes standing at the gate of the government office. to your feet.

Several scholars and scholars from Qinghe County, led by Juren Zhang Shihong, stood in front of the fat man and kept saluting.

These scholars once visited Jinxiu Mountain Wenchang Palace with Li Mu. At that time, they were full of scholarly spirit, pointing out the mountains and rivers, and they were quite elegant. Now when they face this big fat man, they all look full of sincerity and fear.

"You bastards!"

The fat man pointed at Zhang Shihong and others, and cursed: "What do you want to do? You also want to reduce taxes for Qinghe County? Sure enough, it's a poor country and a bad river! The imperial court treats you well, and gives you a salary every month, which is enough for you to eat and drink worry free.

It's good now, you don't want to speak to the imperial court, and you actually speak for a group of untouchables! "

He looked angry: "These untouchables have houses, land, strength, sons, daughters, and wives. As long as they work hard, how can they not be able to pay taxes?"

Zhang Shihong saluted and said: "My lord, let me tell you, Qinghe County has been hit by disasters year after year, with frequent droughts and floods, migratory locusts are everywhere, and plagues broke out in the next county, and the people's houses are empty. It's hard to even survive. How can I have money to pay taxes?"

The middle-aged fat man said angrily: "Nonsense! If you are sick, you can just grab medicine and go to the doctor. How much can you spend? There are many migratory locusts in the dry land, so just catch the locusts and eat them! You can also eat meat and eat two birds with one stone. Isn't it beautiful! How can there be nothing to eat?"

Zhang Shihong said in a daze, "My lord, if they have the money to buy medicine, how can they starve to death?"

The middle-aged fat man shouted: "In today's peaceful and prosperous world, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power. How can there be any reason for people to starve to death? The collection of taxes is a major matter for the court. How can they be exempted at will? The taxes of Qinghe County cannot be less than a copper coin!"

Zhang Shihong stopped saluting, and said angrily: "Hao Jingui! You and I also had a friendship in the provincial capital, why now that you are an incorruptible envoy, do you keep staring at it? You can't see the suffering in Qinghe County. The suffering people? Are you worthy of the sage books you have read!"

Hao Jingui sneered: "Books written by sages? I'm afraid the sages themselves don't believe it! Reading sages' books can only fool the illiterate people. You and I are both scholars. Do you still believe in books now? Does it make sense?"

Zhang Shihong: "You! How unreasonable!"

He blushed, and said to the scholars around him: "This guy is really a disgrace to scholars! Once he gained power, he showed his villainous face! In the past in the provincial capital, he was polite to others and generous in his actions. Everyone Everyone likes him very much. But I didn't expect that after only a few years of seeing each other, he became our Yunhe Dao's honest envoy, and suddenly changed into this face!"

Several scholars were indignant: "We plead for the common people, but he not only refuses to listen, but instead wants to increase taxes, he is really not a son of man!"

"One day I will pass the Jinshi examination and have a half-job. I will never learn from him!"

"Students of my generation, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace are the great wishes in life. If you can be an official, you will naturally benefit one side. Don't be like this Hao Jingui, disgrace us scholars!"

Zhang Shihong was an old acquaintance with Hao Jingui, and he wanted to petition for the people, hoping to reduce tax collection, and Hao Jingui definitely agreed.

But they didn't expect that Hao Jingui would turn into another person after a few years of absence, completely different from the one who sympathized with the common people in the past.

Not only did he disagree with reducing or exempting the taxes of the people in Qinghe County, but he even wanted to collect them in full, completely disregarding the lives of the people.

"Are you also worthy of governing the place?"

Hao Jingui heard what Zhang Shihong and others said, and turned to look at the crowd: "A group of Xia Liba people, after studying for a few years, feel that they have the right to speak? Are you also worthy of governing the region?"

He looked at everyone, his eyes were full of contempt: "It's just that I broke a few questions and was lucky enough to be admitted to Xiucai Juren, so I think I'm qualified to offer advice?"

Hao Jingui sneered: "A group of small towns are the experts, and they are also worthy to guide the national policy? How dare they interfere with the imperial court's taxes? Naive!"
