Chapter 6 Incense Tax

No longer trying to argue with her mother, Ao Qing's nose felt a little sour, and no one understood her difficulties and persistence.

A drop of crystal teardrop gathered at the corner of the eye, especially conspicuous in the muddy muddy water.

She shook her head to dry off the tears, her lips parted slightly, and a stream of clear spring gushed out from her mouth.

Soon, the water level of Qinchun Spring, which had been dry for a long time, rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, several small fish cheered for joy, and then played and wandered in the water, drinking the long-awaited clear spring unscrupulously.

"Are you crazy? Put the water back quickly, if people around see it, it will be ruined again."

"Mom, how could you do this?" Ao Qingmeng raised his head to look at the old carp, his eyes were full of disbelief, and tears could no longer be held back, dripping down like broken pearls.

"I am the Qinchun Spring Dragon King! If I don't provide clear water for the surrounding creatures, I will be pulled out and exposed to the sun like other dragon kings, or the incense will be cut off, and I will be the little dragon king..."

Seeing Ao Qing who was out of control, the old carp also seemed to realize that what he did was wrong, he walked around the koi, compromised and said: "Ao Qing, don't get excited, mom knows it's not easy for you, the water will follow you." Can't you deal with it?"

Hearing her mother's words, Ao Qing finally stopped crying, but what Old Liyu said next made her silent.

"Isn't it just a spring of clear water, if it's gone, I'll borrow it from the little river mussel..."

Soon, news of Qinchun Spring's water recovery spread around. Humans, livestock, and goblins came one after another, and the spring water decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And Ao Qing grimaced, feeling that the insignificant amount of incense and fire divine power he had increased would not be enough to gather half of the spring water if he activated his supernatural powers.

not to mention……

Thinking of what he was about to face next, Ao Qing sighed slightly, turned back into a human form, and headed towards the place he left not long ago.

……

"Sister, my sister's mana is low, and that's all I can do. You can take this half of the spring water, and if you need it, just order it."

Facing the Dragon King of Qinchun Spring who has gone back and forth to borrow water again, the bead is as polite as ever, but the water sent out has changed from the previous one spring to the current half spring.

Giving away one spring water for nothing turned into giving away half a spring for nothing, which undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess. Ao Qing felt helpless, and could only squeeze out a smile to thank him for accepting it.

Wei Wu hid in the sacred stone, looking at the slender figure that was fading away from a distance, he couldn't help but fell into thinking.

Under Qinquan, in the water god's mansion.

The Pearl-bearing Water Mansion is formed from her shells. Although the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs, what is more important is that all matter is solid, not like the wonton space, which is all illusory by divine power.

After several intense and brief blends of mind and soul, Wei Wu did not return to his chaotic space in a hurry, but lay comfortably on the big shell material bed, embracing the pearl, savoring the fruits of cultivation carefully.

After a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a spring of clear water, just borrow it from her, why bother to make so many detours?"

Does he know the real situation of the beads, in her own words - she has been poured to the brim by the master, and she can't hold any more drops.

The power of these incense and fire can only be more than a few springs. After all, the amount of water in the pearl has reached an astonishing level, so it is not too much.

"With the trust of the master, the pearl is in charge of Qinquan, and is responsible for the water system and farming affairs of the village. The slave family knows that the responsibility is heavy, and has never neglected it. It's just that the pearl is not willing to borrow water. I'm afraid that once this hole is opened, it will be closed. Can't stop."

Chuanzhuqiao looked aggrieved and helpless, shrunk into a ball and squeezed into Wei Wu's arms.

"In Anyuan County, the Dragon King of Everbright and small water gods doesn't know how to count. There are also mountain gods, land gods, wandering gods, and many powerful ghosts. If we lend water to Qinchunquan Dragon King today, if other gods and monsters are found, what should we do with the Pearl?"

Speaking of this, the grievance on Zhuanzhu's face became more serious.The pitiful appearance made Wei Wu feel pity for her, he hugged her tightly and comforted her.

"You are the water god of Qinquan. You should be in charge of the water of Qinquan, and you should decide how to use it. I was just curious just now, so don't take it to heart."

After making some promises and telling some nasty jokes from the previous life, after coaxing her for a long time, she finally laughed out of tears.

After warming for a while, Wei Wu was about to leave the water mansion and return to his own chaotic space, but he sensed another uninvited guest came to his altar.

The person who came was an old acquaintance, a stubble-faced, strong and strong man, who would come to my place every once in a while in recent years.

He didn't come alone, but was accompanied by a stone village elder as usual.

The man stood in front of the altar, neither lighting candles and burning incense, nor bowing his head to make a wish. Instead, he looked at the surrounding environment, as if he wanted to take in all the surrounding situations.

The elder took down the censer in the middle of the altar, and carefully removed the ashes to reveal a few simple copper coins. He carefully picked and picked out the censer carefully, and selected two copper coins with bright colors on the surface, and handed them to the man. past.

"This is the incense tax for this season, please pay Boss Tu with a smile."

The man called Boss Tu didn't speak, but silently accepted the copper coins and stuffed them into an animal skin pocket full of runes.

Seeing that the two copper coins were confiscated, the elder seemed relieved, but to his surprise, Boss Tu didn't leave as usual, but stared straight at the incense burner in his hand.

To be precise, it was the three copper coins left in the incense burner.

The elder shook his hands indiscriminately, and the incense ash in the incense burner slowly covered the copper coins with the shaking. He coughed lightly: "Cough, cough, the incense tax for Yiyishi Village has been paid for this season, what else can Boss Tu order?" ?"

Boss Tu shook the animal skin bag in his hand, and grinned, revealing his scorched yellow teeth interlaced like saws:
"There are more than 200 people in your one stone village, right?"

"Exactly." Seeing Boss Tu's piercing smile, the elder was terrified, and nodded cautiously in agreement.

Boss Tu smiled even wider: "According to the Dajing tax law, gods worshiped by more than 100 people pay two incense money every quarter, do you know?"

"Of course I know, haven't I already handed it in? Could it be that the quality of the copper coins is not up to the requirement?" The elder asked tentatively with a smile.

"Copper coins are good copper coins, but two incense coins are not worth the incense tax of the two gods." Mr. Tu looked at the elder with a smile, and pointed to a water spring under the god stone.

"Your village invited a new God, why didn't you inform Tu? Was it because he was afraid that Tu would not be able to pay enough respects, or... did he have other considerations?"

The elder was shocked when he heard the words, the secret channel was broken, and he forgot the water god of Qinquan that the village had just invited today.

Looking in the direction of the boss's big finger, he happened to see the stone tablet erected today, on which the two gold-plated characters of Qinquan were shining brightly under the sunlight.
