"Laws, killing..."

"Twilight is the boundary, and yin and yang are divided into two parts. People are evil and evil, and each goes his own way..."

Hu Ma seemed to be frozen there while holding the mace, which lasted for a long time. Even his body, who had been staying in the house for years, could hardly support the weight, but he still felt that the weight on the mace was still there.

It keeps increasing.

Before this, he didn't know the origin of this mace. He only knew that it was a keepsake of the Hu family. It was not until this moment that he raised the mace that he felt the evil energy contained in it.

There are even some of the most ancient and majestic things inside, pointing directly to the deepest secrets and logic of the world.

The cause and effect on this mace is actually much greater than I imagined. It is even much more than what the Zhensui Hu family, one of the ten surnames, should have. There are many things that seem to be impatient.

After he raised his mace, he scrambled to grab it and put it on his shoulder.

From the moment this mace was raised, something deep in this world has already begun to be affected, with layer upon layer of cause and effect intertwined.

In a remote village, Aunt Zhang, as usual, helped send an elderly man away from the village, then declined the party's banquet and came back by herself to feed the listless chickens in the yard.

Just as he was thinking about why the chickens he fed became less and less energetic and stopped laying eggs after he returned from Mingzhou Mansion, he suddenly heard some faint movement in the house.

She hurriedly put down the dustpan and came to the house. She was suddenly shocked. She only saw the token she brought back from Mingzhou and placed on the table. It was actually shaking gently. In front of the token

The three pillars of incense have been burned to the bottom.

She hurriedly added three sticks of incense and silently recited the incantation to the token for a long time. Only then did she see that the token had settled down, but she was already thoughtful: "Perhaps, I want to go to Mingzhou again?"

Next to Qingshi Town, because this big family has not given birth to a new baby for a long time, Grandma Seventh Aunt is still the family of Grandma Seventh Aunt. They are gathering together in the nest, eating wine happily and teasing the gold and silver dolls they have raised beside them.

.

Grandma Qigu, who always had good teeth, suddenly paused for a moment while chewing chicken bones, shrugged her shoulders, and felt uncomfortable.

"What's the matter with my aunt?"

The mistresses and mistresses next to them, who were only known to be silly and sleepy, felt something was wrong and asked with squinting eyes.

Grandma Qi was stunned for a while, feeling that something was wrong, but nothing seemed to be wrong. She simply shook her head and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Let's continue eating chicken and wine."

On the other hand, the two gold and silver dolls raised next to them were originally spiritual treasures. Now they seemed to sense something. They hugged each other tremblingly and shouted: "Grandma Qigu, you have official power..."

"..."

Farther away, a bearded man with a Chinese character face was hiding in a tomb and practicing hard in the Dharma altar. He had been practicing silently for a long time. Suddenly, on a whim, he opened his eyes. When he took a look, his face suddenly changed.

Big changes.

The oil lamp between the altar was as small as a fly bean. He hurriedly stretched out his hands to protect it, and hurriedly added oil: "I just borrowed something to go to the bridge, why is there such a big reaction?"

But unexpectedly, the oil lamp suddenly became brighter, and his eyebrows were set on fire. He jumped up with a cry, his face turned pale, and his voice was trembling: "That's not right, why?"

Did you give so much all at once?”

"I'm just borrowing something from your house. That's good of you. Do you want to transfer the house to me?"

"I am a thief, not your son..."

"..."

"..."

"Senior, the Hu family's token is already in my hands..."

Hu Ma had no time to take into account the changes that had taken place everywhere. He just gritted his teeth. After confirming the ownership of this mace, he suddenly gathered all his strength, loosened his grip, and slowly used the mace.

He slowly put it back into the stone box.

It seemed that it was only then that his somewhat stiff body began to improve slightly. Every bone in his body seemed to have been broken and reconnected. It was rare to feel serious fatigue in his body since he entered the house.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..."

When he looked at the maces in the box, he couldn't help but persuade him in a low voice: "I only took the maces. You don't have to give them all to me in a hurry..."

After waiting for a long time, he took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and looked around. It was obvious that he had only used this weapon for a moment, but he vaguely felt like he was reincarnated.

After a long time, he stood firm, bowed gently to the box, and then turned around.

At this moment, he also had a change. He turned around and saw clearly the face of Tiger. He was gentle and elegant. He was an extraordinary person, but now, he could look like him.

See him clearly just like any other person.

In fact, maybe with this mace, there are many things that I could not imagine before. I even think that maybe if this mace continues, the tiger...

"Even if it's just in your heart, can you respect me more?"

Senior Tiger suddenly frowned when he faced Hu Ma, who was holding his mace, and turned around. He slowly stepped back a little, not out of caution, but as if he could get a better look at Hu Ma. He sighed in a low voice, and then said softly:

"The golden mace to suppress evil spirits..."

"Seventy-two coppers, eighty-one mountains of iron, and the firewood of three hundred and seventy states in the world have just been used to refine this heavy weapon... Although I have long been looking forward to seeing you pick it up, now I really see it.

Yes, but I also feel a little bit sad..."

"And you?"

He sighed, and suddenly looked at Hu Ma seriously: "If this thing doesn't come out, it will be nothing. Once it comes out, it will be doomed to tremble in all directions. Now that you have this trump card, you..."

"...Who are you going to hit on the head first?"

"..."

Facing this question, even Hu Ma was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help but look outside.

Today, there is a vague chaos in Mingzhou, with the Hu family's affiliates, the cannibal General Tianming, and the ambitious Tongyin Meng family hiding in the dark...

But countless figures flashed through his mind, but Hu Ma didn't answer for a long time. It wasn't until a great thought came to his mind that he slowly looked up at the tiger and whispered: "The golden mace for suppressing evil spirits is born.

How you hit it the first time is indeed very important..."

"Perhaps I need to hit the hardest one, maybe I need to hit the most accurate one..."

"..."

After listening to his words, the tiger couldn't help but become curious. He looked at him and said, "Then how do you plan to knock?"

Hu Ma took a low breath, and a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "I think this first blow should be the loudest one."

"So, I also need to see whose head is strong enough!"

After listening to his words, Tiger suddenly laughed, as if he had seen something interesting, and his laughter was full of expectation.

"..."

"..."

"What? Is there a closing tax?"

"What is official tax?"

"Tax is rent. If you cultivate the land owned by the landlord, shouldn't you pay rent?"

"But we have already paid the rent to the landlord's family, why do we have to pay taxes again?"

"If the landlord doesn't pay, then you have to pay?"

"..."

And at the same time when Hu Ma entered Juehu Village and obtained the golden mace for suppressing evil spirits, which had already affected many things even in the depths of the world, changes were quietly taking place in Mingzhou Mansion.

The government tax collector, who had disappeared for many years, began to appear in the villages, fields, and in front of the landlord's warehouse. He held his fists in his hands, said good things, held an account book and an abacus in his hand, but his attitude was very firm.

There will definitely be taxes.

Because of the sudden tax collection, there were many disputes, so soon, even the government officials from Mingzhou City showed up, and the district chiefs from various places were named, and the young and strong people from all over the place began to be

They were picked out to receive the grain from the government and collect the grain from the people.

It was as if the Mingzhou government office, which had disappeared for nearly twenty years and was almost forgotten by people, came to life overnight and revealed its unattainable figure.

In addition to those government officials who go to the village and go to the fields, there are even some government officials who stay in Mingzhou City all year round and are rarely seen in leisure time, as well as a group of officials in charge of punishment and political affairs and high-status people.

The noble Lord also appeared.

They set up an incense table in front of Laoyin Mountain, placed three animals and six animals as offerings, burned incense and prayed to the gods: "Heaven and earth are the basis for granting the emperor's orders, collecting taxes, and being in charge of criminal laws. Now I sue the ghosts and gods, and I only wish."

The weather is going smoothly for me..."

On the surface it is a sacrifice to the gods, but it is more like announcing the rights and responsibilities.

This is the exercise of authority by the ruler of the Yangjian Palace, and it is a matter of course. Even the Lord of the Underworld Palace has no choice but to interfere without authorization.

But after all, this matter has not happened in Mingzhou for twenty years, so even the person praying was worried. The people from the Truth Sect who came to observe the matter even widened their eyes and held their breath to watch.

After the prayer, there was silence for a long time.

Although this grand ceremony was unprecedented, and all the government officials were pious, but after waiting for a long time, they saw that the incense on the incense table was burning quietly without any abnormalities.

No one touched the offerings on the incense table. Even after they had been placed there for a long time, flies landed on them.

"Not subject to our sacrifice?"

The people who burned incense and paid their respects waited for a long time, but when they saw that there was no movement, they felt uneasy and didn't know what to do.

At first, some people couldn't restrain their worries and looked at General Tianming who was wearing a red robe next to him, wanting to persuade him, but he hesitated.

The destined general hesitated slightly, turned around and looked behind him. The attendants were surrounding him. He looked at a sedan with a curtain hanging down. He saw that there was no movement inside the sedan. However, in this invisible silence, he seemed to be able to detect someone in the sedan.

A little irritable.

So, he frowned, climbed up from the ground, patted the soil on his knees, and then slowly walked to the incense table.

He took a piece of fruit from the altar, wiped it on his clothes, ate it, and said coldly: "Whether he accepts the sacrifice or not, the etiquette has been fulfilled, so why should he be polite to them?"

"Go to the countryside tomorrow. My people will accompany you!"
