One day.

Bai Yujun came to a mass grave. Perhaps because it was very close to the town, this mass grave was very big. Bai Yujun thought that he would have to spend another exhausting night reciting the scriptures for salvation, but when he saw the mass grave, he was stunned.

.

No dead souls? What about snake charmers?

Bai Yujun, who originally planned to dig graves, looked at the silent tombs and didn't know whether he should be happy or surprised. There were corpses everywhere in such a large mass grave, but there were no dead souls in the new graves. Could it be that those ghosts with strong resentments realized their humanity and sublimated their humanity and went to the underworld? Really?

That would be a damn thing.

In the mass grave, Bai Yujun looked at the graveyard being messy in the wind...

Go to the town to rest.

The town is very big, maybe because there are some big families living there, so it seems that the people in the town are barely starving to death. There are many brave men in the town patrolling back and forth with hunting bows and sticks. The outsiders are the focus of inspections. These days outside

There are bandits everywhere, who knows if they will secretly send a spy in.

All the shops in the town were closed and there were not many people in sight.

When passing by the high-walled courtyard of a wealthy family, she saw a few refugees squatting in front of the drainage ditch to fish for something. Curious, she walked in to check. When she saw clearly what those people were doing, Bai Yujun could only sigh.

Rich families still had rice and meat despite the famine years, and the vegetable soup and rice dregs they couldn't eat were poured directly into the drains.

Oil flowers and the like are good things. A few refugees put rags on the water, then picked them up and twisted them, and then fished out some vegetable residue. After working for a long time, they could make a bowl of food. It was better than eating the roots and bark of trees.

Many, it is not just a fabrication to say that the rich and wealthy families are stinking of wine and meat, and their bones are frozen to death. The more troubled the times, the more prosperous those wealthy families are.

Famine kills people, and when too many people die, the land becomes ownerless. As long as you give the government some money, you can buy a large area of ​​good farmland. Every famine is an occasion when the power of a powerful family increases.

What the ancients loved most was land. If a family had a good reputation, they would not have to pay taxes. No one could steal thousands of acres of fertile land without paying any taxes. The big taxpayers in the country were the poor farmers. If these poor farmers couldn't bear the pressure, they would just

Dedicate your own farmland to local large households to avoid the heavy miscellaneous taxes. As the large households get bigger and bigger, the tax revenue is getting smaller and smaller. If there is no tax revenue, how can we use it to provide disaster relief and provide food?

Fortunately, these are human matters, and White Snake can just follow the orders of Chunyang Palace.

The town was withered, and Bai Yujun was looking for a place to stay while carrying a bookcase on her back.

Suddenly, a man in black passing by caught Snake Eyes' attention...

The man's aura was very cold. According to common sense, human beings cannot be that cold. They were almost as cold-blooded as cold-blooded animals. He was carrying a backpack with bulging bags and no one knew what he was carrying.

After taking a second look, I continued to look for a place to stay.

Finally, I found a dilapidated house in the town with a leaky roof that had not been inhabited for a long time, and threw two cleaning spells into it to tidy it up a bit.

I found an oil lamp with a thick layer of dust in the weeds, blew off the dust and placed it on the stove. I took out a small clay pot from the bookcase and carefully poured out a little lamp oil. I picked up a rag and tore it into rags to rub the wick.

Put the wick into the oil lamp and leave a small section on the outside. When the oil soaks the wick, cast a small magic to light the oil lamp.

In fact, he could have revealed his identity as a Chunyang disciple and went to those wealthy families to get a good room, but Bai Yujun didn't want to get too close to those humanoid vampires. It didn't matter if he had enough to eat, drink, and sleep in. A snake could easily be satisfied.

Lighting the oil lamp is to tell others that this house is occupied tonight and not to disturb them.

I put my head into the book box and rummaged around, pulling open the strips of bacon to find the books wrapped in oil paper. I picked up some books at many people's houses along the way. There are miscellaneous books and wild journals, which can be used to relieve boredom. Of course, it would be better if we didn’t always write stories about a vixen and a ghost falling in love with a scholar and then being abandoned by the scholar. It seems that the vixen likes the scholar not because of his skinny body but because of his character.

night.

In the quiet night, sounds could be heard far away. Bai Yujun could clearly hear the sound of wealthy people in the town changing cups, drinking and guessing, and there was also the smell of wine and meat. It was also a skill to find meat to eat in this era.

Turn over and don't look out the window.

After Bai Yujun went down the mountain for a few days, he also understood why Yu Rong asked him, a snake demon, to go down the mountain to provide disaster relief. At first, he was very dissatisfied and even thought about finding a place to sleep until the disaster was over. However, along the way, he discovered that Yu Rong had good intentions.

Cultivation not only cultivates the body but also the mind.

By walking step by step with your feet and looking bit by bit with your eyes, your state of mind will improve along the way. Observing the various aspects of life along the way will help you to see many things clearly, and your practice will become more solid. It is difficult to go further if you only focus on cultivation without cultivating your mind. And it is possible to go crazy. Most monks do not understand what cultivation is and only know how to blindly cultivate the body and collect magic pills while ignoring the most important thing, cultivating the mind.

It is quite strange that a snake spirit can practice orthodoxy.

There is no way, Bai Yujun must practice orthodoxy. The human race is prosperous and lucky. If you want to become an immortal, you must follow the rules of the human race. If you purely follow the rules of monsters, you will probably be killed by demons and monsters.

Snakes can be free only when they are alive, but they have nothing when they die.

A strong wind blew outside the window. Only half of the broken window finally died after struggling for a long time. What made Bai Yujun speechless was that a few broken tiles fell off the roof, allowing him to see the moon in the sky more clearly.

He quickly stretched out his hand to protect the oil lamp from being smashed by dust and broken tiles. Soon the wind stopped.

"This wind is quite evil. It will blow twice and end at will."

I brushed off the dust that fell on my body, and lost interest in continuing to read. I simply put the book away and folded my arms behind my head, lying down and looking at the moon through the hole in the roof.

Then, Bai Yujun saw a disheveled ghost on the roof flash through the hole...

After being stunned for two seconds, he jumped up, grabbed two weapons, rushed out of the house and jumped onto the roof!

There was no ghost figure under the moonlight. There was only Bai Yujun in a white Taoist robe on the empty roof. He raised his head and found that the moon was shrouded in light red. There must have been a killing nearby!

His keen sense of smell found that there was a smell of blood in the air. Without saying a word, he jumped around on the roof to find the source of the blood smell. Such a strong smell of blood would probably kill many people. It was just intentional to do something like this in the area he was responsible for. Trouble with snakes.

The source was quickly found.

The screams of a wealthy family in the town could be heard far away, and nearby neighbors gathered around with torches in hand.

"The devil is asking for his life...Help..."

The lights in the quiet town gradually turned on, and the people in the wealthy family's compound were still wailing and screaming. Outside, the neighbors were knocking on the door, but inside they were just crying and no one opened the door. People realized that something was wrong and started to knock on the door.

After hitting it several times, the door finally burst open with a bang. When they saw the scene in the courtyard, everyone screamed in terror and ran away.

The courtyard was like hell. Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and the white window paper was covered with blood. Only a few people wearing servants' and maids' clothes were left hiding in the corner, crying and screaming.
