Li Fan frowned, closing and opening the bone fan in his hand, opening and closing it again. This bone piece, as thin as a cicada's wings, exuded bursts of sweet smell. Through the morning light, you could still vaguely see the surface of the fan.

Roots and blood vessel-like textures.

Cannibalism...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the first time when his Taoist heart was unbalanced, he almost swallowed the wine waiter and the bones in his arms. Wasn't that old devil also obsessed with eating people. Sure enough, he only gnawed some pigs, cattle and sheep.

Can't you satisfy the oral desires of the four evil men...

Li Fan shook his head and put the fan on his waist.

Then it’s better not to continue practicing the Qiongqi Dao Body, otherwise sooner or later you will become a man-eating maniac like the old demon Qingyang. Although it is a pity that the fan has seven entries, it should be used as a prop to remove negative effects.

After clearing up the Zuntian Magic Array, Li Fan was just about to fly back to the treasure boat with his sword, when he was suddenly startled.

His ship is gone.

It was really gone. Li Fan specially selected the place where he practiced in the dojo to ensure that the flying boat was within the range of his spiritual consciousness. But at this time, not only could his spiritual consciousness not scan the flying boat, but he could not find any trace of the flying boat when he returned to the same place!

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, took out a compass, and started counting with his fingers.

The ship belongs to the mountain owner. If outsiders come to rob the ship, it is impossible to break through the enchantment circle on the ship without leaving any obvious traces around the docking point.

If someone is driving the ship away from the inside, first of all, Nie Feilian and Xiang Xiaoyu, who are in the Qi refining stage, can be ruled out. Whether they can activate the control array of the mechanical flying boat is a matter of two minds, let alone driving the ship out of Li Fan's consciousness.

range.

Could it be that Yang Sheng deliberately hid his clumsiness and robbed his boat?

But it doesn't look like it. Li Fan has carefully checked the other person. He is indeed a scholar. His Qi training is at best to strengthen the body. They Confucian scholars have to rely on the bonus of official positions and meritorious service. Only by entering the list of gods can they obtain the divine way.

The magic power and the cultivation of immortality are not the same system.

If Yang Sheng had used some means to open the barrier, it might be possible to lure outside monks to seize the ship. However, what Li Fan suspected most was not Yang Sheng, but BCCD.

It's a very simple reason. Since the four of them have returned to life, they will be able to regain their mobility sooner or later. Li Fan has not personally checked their status in the past two days. Maybe they can get lucky. Maybe, the four of them will wake up.

, don’t want to return to the service of Patriarch Luo Feng?

That old ghost, didn't he just treat them like objects and throw them to the mountain owner to play with? They had been enslaved for so many years. Did he just come out of the tiger's mouth and go back to the wolf's den?

Putting himself in his shoes, it's not that Li Fan couldn't understand their idea of ​​​​escape, but it was still a bit surprising to him that the other party actually escaped. After all, aren't the natives here very particular about loyalty and filial piety. Or let's talk about the old ghost Luo Feng, who even banned the contract.

Haven't you used any other techniques to restrain your concubine? Do you really dare to run away casually?

In this blink of an eye, Li Fan figured out the whereabouts of the flying boat.

It was all the way to the north.

Do you want to escape to the Central Plains...

Li Fan directly pursued with his escape technique, and only used the Fengyun Longjing technique to escape three times before chasing the traces of the flying boat.

Humph, so what if I let you run away for one night? Can you escape from Master Wuzhishan?

Li Fan didn't say anything, and he turned invisible and landed on the bow of the boat. As expected, it was a flying fairy standing at the bow of the boat and steering the boat. It seemed that her elbow and wrist joints were still quite stiff, but she could already perform the seal.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to deal with this B, so he entered the cabin invisibly. As expected, he saw Xiang Xiaoyu and Nie Feilian sleeping with their acupuncture points stabbed. There were teeth marks on their necks. They must have sucked some blood. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured.

.

The sheep was unlucky. He was lying on the bed, his neck and wrists were chewed until blood dripped, and his skin and flesh were torn. All the yang energy and essence in his whole body had been drained away. He was haggard, his face was gray, and only the protective jade pendant was floating.

A little spiritual light was emitted from Yang Si'an's forehead, covering the true soul of Yintang's guardian, so that he wouldn't die.

The three flying immortals did not try to snatch away the jade pendant, but let this magic weapon hang on the scholar's life. They sat around the Yang Sheng in a cross-legged position and breathed, one mouthful at a time, one mouthful at a time, and a mouthful at the mouth of the Yang Sheng.

Breathe it all out and put it into your inner organs for practice.

Hey, you have to eat fresh ones so you don’t kill them.

"Oh, stubborn!"

Li Fan sneered and exploded in the cabin like thunder.

Feixian D, who had her back to the door, opened her eyes suddenly, showed her sharp claws and was about to fly up. A bone fan was already knocked on top of her head, causing her brains to burst. A pair of eyeballs flew out, and black blood unexpectedly came from

Squirting out of ears and nose.

The two immortal corpses on both sides also showed their sharp claws and fangs. Just as they were about to stand up, they saw that Li Fan almost destroyed a flying immortal corpse with just one blow. It was so cruel that they froze and did not dare to move.

"What a shameless bunch of scoundrels! I have to serve you carefully, and yet you dare to bare your teeth at me!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Fan had already turned sideways and slapped each of them, causing their heads to spin three times. Their facial bones were bent and hung diagonally on their shoulders.

These three or two strange blows immediately made the flying immortals know how powerful he was, and they all fell to the ground and kowtowed.

The immortal corpse outside also heard the noise and hurriedly rushed into the cabin, actually daring to catch the two boys first.

Li Fan sneered, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying, smashing into the ship wall, and falling from the sky.

Before landing, Li Fan had already spread out his arms and Taoist robes, flying down like a big bat. He grabbed her pipa bone with one claw and crushed it into pieces. He turned around and jumped back to the flying boat, throwing it on the boat.

In the cabin, he rolled into a ball with three other immortal corpses.

"If you beg me honestly, or run away silently, I will let you live! I can't believe that you dare to covet my children and guests! You are simply stubborn! Give me all the yang energy you breathed in.

Spit it out!"

Wherever the four immortal corpses dared to disobey, they all sprayed out from their mouths and noses. In the blink of an eye, their shiny skin turned into withered driftwood, as disgusting and terrifying as rotten mud flesh.

"Roll them all in the coffin and wait!"

Li Fan flicked his sleeves and threw out a coffin, chased away these evildoers, took the lump of life, and gave it to Yang Si'an to save again.

However, the Yang Qi vitality is not the kind of setting that sucks it out and swallows it back and then everything will be fine. Li Fan bandaged the sheep scholar's wound, broke off half of the Mysterious Female Golden Pill, and melted it with the fairy chalcedony in the gourd.

I used a small dish for him, and breathed on his life-protecting jade pendant to replenish the mana, and finally the scholar got it back from the Prince of Hell.

Xiang Xiaoyu and Nie Feilian were fine. They probably just saw how young they were, so they couldn't help but give them a bite, which didn't damage their foundation. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't dare to harm the disciples of Mo Zhushan, Li Fan wouldn't have left them at all just now.

Hands, just slap these four to death.

After all, Li Fan gave them both a taste of the fairy chalcedony, and it should be fine.

So when the two girls woke up, they were still in a daze, and they had already spent another day in trouble.

They still couldn't figure out why there was a hole in the cabin, there was an extra coffin in the cabin, and the scholar sheep was made into rice dumplings...

"Last night, those four evil corpses took advantage of me to go out to practice and escaped. They almost killed Scholar Sheep. I have sealed them. You can just practice on your own. You don't have to worry about those four evil fetuses. If there are still

If you feel uncomfortable, come to me immediately."

Li Fan was not polite to them anymore. He tied up all four of them and threw them into his coffin and nailed them. He flipped through the spell book and found several spells for sealing corpses.

, and tied the coffin with ink thread.

"yes……"

"Ma'am, is this scholar okay?"

Nie Feilian poked Yang Sheng's wound, causing him to tremble with pain.

"He is a lucky man. He didn't die at first, and he won't die so easily in the future." Li Fan looked at Yang Sheng and woke up. "It's okay. Even if he is really dead, I will help you hire a city god when you go back to the mountain."

The divine position can be considered as extinguishing your dream of becoming an official."

Yang Si'an actually still had the strength to cry out, "I study hard so that I can become a prince and prime minister and become famous during my lifetime, not to be admired after my death..."

Li Fan smiled and said, "You are quite magnanimous, so let me ask you, if you are asked to become Li Guo's imperial censor, what will you do?"

Yang Si was not polite at all, and boasted, "It's nothing more than cutting off customs, removing redundant personnel, purging officials, underestimating people's taxes, opening plank roads, repairing water conservancy, and promoting industry and commerce."

Seeing that he was full of energy and it was indeed not that easy to die, Li Fan sneered and said, "It's simple and easy to say. I think those imperial censors will give exactly the same answer when asked."

Yang Sian was illuminated by the jade pendant, and the color on his face actually returned. He shook his head and said, "You are wrong. Doctor Wen's group advocates giving priority to farming, advocating frugality, reducing expenses, and inspecting the land and mouth in order to raise money."

Military use. Advocate to educate the people, get rid of the trend of extravagance and enjoyment, conduct extensive inspections of customs and harbor guards, and eliminate thieves from all directions, so as to ensure a safe environment and support the people.

When they were in charge of the government, they did achieve sufficient warehouses and stable public security for a time. However, as time went by, industry and commerce were monopolized in the hands of big families, and the land was annexed by powerful noble families. Years of land inspections were time-consuming and laborious, but the registered household registrations were not found.

There were fewer and fewer localities, and the locals did not dare to touch the interests of the gentry, so the taxes allocated were spread to the common people. As a result, the escape from household registration became more and more serious.

So there have been bumper harvests year after year, but the imperial treasurer has been running deficits year after year, and has to borrow food from wealthy families to maintain dignity. This is all because after the Black Lotus Rebellion, the clan's troops and horses were completely wiped out, and the arsenal and military headquarters and local guards were

This is why all the land fell into the hands of powerful clansmen and the taxes could not be collected."

Li Fan was repairing the broken cabin, but he was bored and continued to chat with him, "Then what you mean is that if the agricultural tax is not used, then we should not collect it at all. Instead, we should collect industrial and commercial tax, right?"

Yang Si'an saw that Li Fan actually understood him, and his eyes lit up and he said, "Exactly, the way of economy is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The situation of land annexation is uneven throughout the Central Plains, so the situation in Liguo is relatively stable.

Because the clan is too weak, there will be no big fights when fighting for heirs and heirs, disturbing the people.

Therefore, compared with other vassal states, Liguo is relatively stable, prosperous, and rich in products. If customs offices can be abolished and industrial and commercial transportation can be developed, it will naturally attract merchants from various countries to trade. By removing the tariffs in each county,

It is also beneficial to the caravans owned by local lords. It is much easier than taking money out of their pockets.

Such an increase in expenditure and the reduction of many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be beneficial to the public and the people, right?"

"Then those redundant personnel in the guard stations you eliminated will jump out and rebel." Li Fan repaired the cabin and clapped his hands, "Don't be too ambitious. There are too many people in this world who are not recognized for their talents. I

See, you also have some luck with immortality. I have tricked you this time. Do you want to introduce you to practice?"

But Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your favor. In fact, Xiaosheng also had a chance to be immortal in his early years, but he was still greedy for beauty in the mortal world and couldn't stand the poverty in the mountains. He ran back to study on his own. Thank you for your kindness."
