People walking on this street are bustling and full of excitement. It seems that in this ancient city, everyone has found himself and has his own happiness. Whether it is good or bad, he can always find something unique to him. own happiness.
"Bang, bang, bang" at this time, Yigu suddenly wanted to smash the stalls on the street, suddenly making the lively street more lively.
I saw only a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was tall and mighty, wearing armor, majestic and full of fighting spirit. He was like a victorious general who could sweep across the ten directions. He had the power to look down on the world and sweep across the ten directions.
However, for such a person who is full of unparalleled momentum, what he is doing at this moment does not match the aura on his body at all.
This middle-aged man was carrying a huge mace on his shoulder. He put his hands on the mace and bit the foxtail grass, pretending to be a hooligan and who should I be afraid of?
Every time he walked to a stall, he would hit the mace in his hand, and there would be a "bang" sound. The momentum was very scary. He opened his eyes with huge round eyes and shouted: "It's time to pay the protection fee."
However, when the stall owner ignored him, he opened his eyes even more and shouted: "Did you hear that? It's time to pay the protection fee.'"
There was a stall owner here who looked at him slowly and said, "What protection fee?"
The middle-aged man immediately took out a small notebook, flipped through it, and said loudly: "Your stall has been protected by me for 38,860 issues, and now it's time to hand it in..."
"Credit." The *** said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, I owe thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-one installments. Remember to pay the next installment, otherwise, I will smash you to pieces." With that said, he carried the mace and continued to collect the protection fee.
With a "bang" sound, he used his signature mace to scare him again, and said loudly to another stall owner: "Old man, it's time for the protection fee."
"It hasn't opened yet." The stall owner was not afraid and said, "We will make money when it opens."
"Remember, when you receive the money, hand it over to me immediately." The middle-aged man shouted arrogantly and continued to walk forward.
It's time to collect protection fees... "This middle-aged man went to small stalls to collect protection fees, but every family agreed to pay, but he didn't receive the last penny."
However, the middle-aged man didn't care at all. When he walked to a stall, he was immediately hit with a mace and demanded that the other party pay protection money. Although the stall owners agreed, no one actually paid for the protection. It's free.
"Do you believe in the light?" As Li Qiye and the others continued walking on the street, at this moment, there was a person standing in front of Li Qiye and the others.
This man was dressed in plain clothes, very simple, and had a pot-covered head specially cut for himself. He looked like an ascetic walking in the world.
When he saw Li Qiye, his hands were clasped together and the light was shining. Li Qiye smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
"Light is always there. Believe in it and you will live forever." The ascetic handed a leaflet to Li Qiye, and then handed leaflets to Ye Zhitian and Jiannu. Even Zhen Xiong had a leaflet.
When I looked at the flyer, I saw that it was written in bright seal script, and the rhythm of the shimmering light was extremely mysterious.
Li Zhitian couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw such a bright seal script, because such a bright seal script requires an extremely profound creation of light. In the human world, the entire Liutian Continent could only find such a bright creation. There are only a few, it can be said to be very few.
"Light is always there. Believe in it and you will live forever." This ascetic preached to Li Qiye and the others. When he bowed his head, he was very humble. The light was in his chest. The flashing light seemed to allow him to stay forever. In the human world, there is endless eternity, as if he can obtain eternal life.
"This is one by one." Looking at this ascetic, Jiannu couldn't help but be surprised. Such light is indeed an extremely profound blessing. This makes people think of the founder of the Tianmeng, the Great Bright Dragon Emperor, who also has There is such a light, but the light on the ascetic in front of me is even more meaningful.
"You may not live forever." Li Qiye said with a smile.
The ascetic said: "Light is always reincarnated, life and death, life and death, but if the heart is always there, the light will always be there."
"This is really rare." Li Qiye said with a faint smile: "Only when a person dies can he understand clearly. Once you understand the truth, you don't know whether your Taoist heart will remain unchanged or whether you will fall into darkness again. "
The ascetic bowed his body and was very pious and said: "The light is there, I live forever, it will never change, and it will last forever."
"If this is really the case, it can be regarded as a complete life. Whether in life or in death, long-cherished wishes, good things, and good things can always be fulfilled." Li Qiye said with a smile.
There was a "bang", and at this moment, a big hand slapped the ascetic heavily on the shoulder, and said with a laugh: "Preacher, you preach on my street every day, you should pay protection fees. "
This person who suddenly appeared was the middle-aged man who collected protection money everywhere.
"Believe in the light," the ascetic handed the leaflet to the middle-aged man who collected the protection fee, and said: "One point of light, one point of protection, please accept it."
"Tch, keep it for yourself, only ghosts will believe in your brightness. Bah, bah, bah, only people will believe in your brightness." The middle-aged man glared and said, "Don't mess with this thing next time. I, obediently pay the protection fee, otherwise, I will smash your bones to pieces with a stick."
"Under the light, you and I are all brothers." The ascetic bowed and said: "Brothers are the blessings and misfortunes that we share. Please let the light shine on your savage heart...",
"Get out, get out, get out." This middle-aged man didn't like to listen to the ascetic's nagging. He was bored by it. He waved his hands as if to shoo away flies and said: "What kind of bird are you? You have been selling light all day long. You have long been If you sell it to the devil, how can there be any light?"
"The light is not to be blamed on rough and humble people." The ascetic was not angry, but still bowed humbly and said: "Accept the light, illuminate your heart, let you walk on the bright road, and have a grand heart..."
"If you don't get out of here, I'll smash you to death." The middle-aged man had a headache from what he said. He raised the mace in his hand and tried to smash the ascetic to death.
However, the ascetic was not afraid. He bowed to Li Qiye and the others, and said, "Believe in the light, let you and I be together, ascend to bliss together, and witness the eternity of light..."
Jiannu and Li Zhitian were silent. The real bear barked a few times, but Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "Okay, wait until your light is eternal, and then you can transform me."
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." The ascetic heard Li Qiye's words and felt very useful. He bowed and said, "Let me believe in the eternity of light. See you again." After saying that, he left and continued to teach others about him. of light.
"Are you guys foreigners?" When the middle-aged man who collected the protection fee saw Li Qiye and the others, his eyes widened, as if he had never seen foreigners before, and he suddenly became very energetic. Of course, he looked more like a The wolf saw the fat sheep coming to his door.
"People from the village are also outsiders. They are not human inside and out." Li Qiye said with a faint smile.
"Well, you are not a human being inside and out, that's right. Who is a human being?" When the middle-aged man who collected protection money heard Li Qiye's words, he felt that these words were too good and reasonable. He slapped his thigh and said, He gave Li Qiye a thumbs up and said with a smile: "For what you said, I will charge you 50% off the protection fee."
"Is there such a big discount?" Li Qiye couldn't help but said with a faint smile.
"Since we are not human beings inside and outside, we are just old acquaintances." The middle-aged man who collected the protection fee laughed and said: "In this city, as long as I collect the protection fee, I will protect you, and you can do whatever you can." Anyone from here or abroad, tell me my name, and everyone will know that you are mine." The middle-aged man wanted to issue a bill to Li Qiye.
"Hey, I'll give you a 50% discount. What will you use to pay for it?" The middle-aged man wanted to share the harvest with Li Qiye and the others.
Li Qiye said slowly: "It is said that you are no longer a human being inside and outside. Since you are not a human being, how can you pay? Just give it on credit. When I have money, I will pay you again."
"Credit again?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and said unwillingly, "Even if I charge protection fees, it's still a small business. I also have to support my family. Where can I get credit?" .”
"Then there's nothing we can do." Li Qiye smiled and shook his head and said, "Since we can't pay on credit, we don't need your protection. Since we don't need your protection, why should we pay the protection fee?"
"Okay, okay, okay, stop it, stop it." The middle-aged man was really afraid that Li Qiye would not pay the protection fee, so he said: "I'll give you credit, I'll give you credit, remember, if you have money, you must pay it back. Do you understand? I won’t allow credit next time.”
"Don't worry, there will never be a next time." Li Qiye also smiled lightly.
"Okay, don't worry. You can just sneak around in this city. With me protecting you, you can sneak around everywhere." The middle-aged man patted Li Qiye on the shoulder. It seemed that at this moment, Li Qiye was right next to him. under the protection.
Seeing such a scene, Li Zhitian and Jiannu both said it was outrageous. Is there anyone in the world who charges protection fees like this? If everyone collected protection fees like this, the world would be peaceful.
"Okay, I will continue to collect the protection fee." The middle-aged man recorded the protection fee for Li Qiye and left.
"Who collects the protection fee?" Li Zhitian couldn't help but muttered as he watched the middle-aged man collect the protection fee.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Whether he can receive protection money is not the point. The protection fee is not the point. The point is that he is the villain who collects the protection fee."
"You just want to be a villain?" Jian Nu also felt strange and muttered.
"An elegant villain." Li Qiye smiled faintly, glanced at Jian Nu, and said, "It's as if you want to open a small shop."
"My true self." Li Qiye said this, and Jiannu understood.
