Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 504 Blue Bird
"Girl, are you okay!" Su Zhenwu looked at Su Xiaoying like this, but was a little worried.

Because, in his eyes, his daughter Su Xiaoying has always been that kind of out-of-the-box, lively and straightforward personality. In the past few days, "quietness" has appeared in her body. That kind of quietness makes Su Zhenwu feel a little startled, like a pool of spring water I can't see through the feeling.

"Father, there is no need to worry. I am fine now." Su Xiaoying continued with a smile, "Brother Wang gave me a scripture, which should be of high value. Daddy can choose students from my Su family with good qualifications to study and practice. I will Copy a few copies and give them to them, and dad can also study and practice."

As Su Xiaoying said, she stroked the scriptures hidden next to her body, and a quiet smile appeared in her eyes.

"Really!" Su Zhenwu narrowed his eyes, and a ray of light burst out.He has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he has seen immortal cultivators, but he suffers from lack of cultivation skills, and now he has obtained it, so he is naturally excited.

"Brother Wang left this, please don't spread it!" Su Xiaoying murmured while stroking the scripture Wang Lin gave her.

"This is natural!" Su Zhenwu naturally knew the reason for Huai Bi's crime, so he hurriedly said.

"Brother Wang, the Tonghe River is just ahead. I'll rush over by water, and you can go by land. We will meet up in Donghai County." Zhu Ziping proposed when he arrived at the mouth of the Longjiang River that joins the Tonghe River.

Wang Lin knew that he was afraid that Hebo Tonghe would embarrass him. After all, they had severely injured the snake demon before. He didn't know whether the snake demon was under the command of Hebo Tonghe and what his status was; whether Hebo Tonghe would protect his weaknesses.

"Okay, I'll go all the way southeast along the Tonghe River. Brother Zhu can contact me if necessary." Wang Lin threw a magic card to Zhu Ziping and said.This is the magic card of the green flute. If Zhu Ziping is in trouble, he can contact Wang Lin through the magic card.

After all, it was Wang Lin who severely injured the snake demon earlier. With Wang Lin's character, it is impossible for Zhu Ziping to take care of everything.

"Okay." Zhu Ziping took the divine tablet and sank into the Tonghe River.

After leaving Longjiang County, it is Haizhou Prefecture. However, Donghai County is the easternmost part of Haizhou Prefecture, next to the sea. It is the first time for Wang Lin to go to the sea in her previous and present lives, and she is still very excited.

The Tonghe River crosses the Haizhou Mansion, heading straight to the sea in a mighty way. The water potential is very large, far from comparable to those of the big rivers that he was familiar with in his previous life. It is no exaggeration to shock with grandeur.

"If Nie Xiaoxuan can control Tonghe, it is estimated that her cultivation will jump rapidly!" Wang Lin walked along Tonghe, thinking about this question.

Of course, with Nie Xiaoxuan's current cultivation, it is impossible to completely control Tonghe, but it can be refined in stages so that her envoy can control it.In this way, Tonghe can be controlled.

However, Wang Lin reckoned that with Tonghe Hebo's cultivation level already extremely high, it would be extremely difficult to try to seize Tonghe.This time when they came to Tonghe Hebo Water Mansion, Wang Lin and Nie Xiaoxuan's plan was to keep the waters of the Qingjiang River and try their best to settle the relationship with Tonghe Hebo.

Haizhou Prefecture belongs to the remote southeast of Daxia Kingdom. It has a vast territory and extends thousands of miles to the southeast. However, the land is barren, with many mountains and forests.Most of these barbarians live by hunting.

Along the way, Wang Lin saw many incidents of attacks between ethnic groups, most of which were for prey.

Wang Lin was very worried about how Ning Caichen would get through as a parent official in such a place.

On this day, Wang Lin and Wang Daniu came to a village. This village looked huge, with a large number of wooden buildings scattered in the mountains and forests, spreading far away.

Outside this mountain, a square market was formed next to the Tonghe River. There were many people coming and going, and many Xia people traded goods with the people here.

The people here are obviously not from the Xia tribe. Both men and women have bird feathers on their heads. The men have colorful bird feathers, which are extremely beautiful; while the women have gray bird feathers on their heads.

Their costumes are also different from those of the Xia people. All the men carry bows and arrows and waist knives, and their clothes are extremely compact, making it easier to walk in the mountains and forests, which is different from the Xia people's wide-sleeved gowns.

The women wore short dresses and skirts, exposing their snow-white arms and calves. From the perspective of Xia people, their clothes could be called "immoral".

The women here are also very open. Men and women hold hands in Fangshi and are very intimate. Some women sing love songs in Fangshi. The singing is melodious, like a lark, quite comfortable.

Of course, Wang Lin and Wang Daniu didn't understand the local dialect, so they found out that they were singing love songs after asking the Xia people in Fangshi.

"They are members of the Qingniao tribe, and the tribal totem is the Qingluan bird. The Qingniao tribe is open-minded and hospitable, and they get along best with the Xia people. They live in Qingya Mountain and have a population of nearly 40. They are considered to be the largest in Haizhou Prefecture. Tribe." A [-]-year-old Xiaren pedestrian business next to him introduced Wang Lin and Wang Daniu for the first time.

"Are these tribes under the jurisdiction of Haizhou Prefecture?" Wang Lin asked.

"Nominally they are all under the jurisdiction of the Haizhou government and county, but in fact the government and county do not manage them much.

Back then, although the founding Emperor Xia conquered the barbarian tribes, he promised them that they would not have to pay taxes in order to rule them for a long time.

So far, these barbarian tribes have not paid taxes, so as long as they don't take the initiative to attack the Xia people, the government and county government will not interfere with them too much.

But the government and county government have imposed a lot of taxes on those of us who do business with the barbarians, and it is difficult for us to eat this. ’ the traveling merchant murmured in a low voice.

He saw Wang Lin wearing a scholar's gown, and thought that Wang Lin was a scholar, so he naturally wanted to express the difficulties of his own class, and see if he could improve their living environment through Wang Lin and other scholars.

Wang Lin nodded. The method of founding Emperor Xia is very good. These barbarians live in the mountains, where there are many poisonous insects and miasma, and the environment is complicated. If taxes are imposed on them, it will easily make them rebellious and become a source of disaster. source.

Now, instead of taxing them, it would be a good way to do business with them, let them transport the special products in the mountains and forests, and indirectly tax these Xia merchants.

As for the traveler's complaints, Wang Lin could only laugh it off, everyone's life is not easy, he can eat this food, which shows that it is still profitable.

Moreover, Wang Lin himself is just a monk, and his state of mind is gradually detached. He has tasted the suffering of all living beings in his previous life, and thinking about it now is not a kind of happiness.

Wang Lin took Wang Daniu to inspect the square market with great interest. There were many street stalls here, and the traveling merchants mainly transported grain, ironware and cloth.

Most of what the Qingniao tribe sells are wild game, skins, medicinal materials, etc.There are large wild animals such as tigers, stags and leopards, as well as small wild animals such as rabbits and sheep, but few birds are seen, only a small amount of pheasants.

In the forest behind Fangshi, Wang Lin saw blue luan birds sitting on the tree trunk. They were not afraid of people at all. When the blue bird tribe passed by them, they bent down and bowed to salute, took out food from their pockets and placed them respectfully In front of them, let these blue luan birds eat.

These blue phoenixes are one or two meters long. The males have colorful feathers on their tails, while the females' tails are gray. Only then did Wang Lin understand why the males of these blue birds have colorful feathers on their heads. The girl has gray feathers.
