Yi Xuan originally wanted to give Lu Feng another magic weapon in his hand, but the things he brought from the Nether Realm were greatly reduced for some reason, and he didn't know if he asked Lu Qingyu repeatedly, so he had to wait until he got to the town to make plans.

The next day, Yi Xuan and Mu Tao walked together, slowly walking towards Mianzhu Town, more than 300 miles to the east, everyone in the village came out to see them off, but Lu Feng was not seen, Lu Qingyu said that Lu Feng left a note at home to retreat in the ashram to consolidate his cultivation, so he did not appear. Yi Xuan didn't think much about it, but when he walked more than ten miles away, he found Lu Feng waiting by the post road leading to Mianzhu Town.

It turned out that Lu Feng knew that Yi Xuan would not take him there this time, but he wanted to see the world again, so he took the first step in the night and walked here to wait, Yi Xuan was angry and funny, so he could only agree to go with him.

Seeing that Yi Xuan agreed, Lu Feng happily followed beside him, chattering about this and that......

"Uncle Mu Tao, is there any interesting business in Mianzhu Town? Every time I ask my father, he won't tell me!"

"Uncle Mu Tao, are the houses in Mianzhu Town the same as those in Zhuangzi?"

"Uncle Mu Tao, how long do we have to get to ......?"

At the beginning, Mu Tao patiently answered a few questions, but in the end, he was tired of it, and simply drove him to Yi Xuan's side, and he walked far ahead, leaving his ears clean.

The post road of more than 300 miles was spacious and smooth, but even if the three of them were concentrating on hurrying, it was enough to see the outline of Mianzhu Town until noon on the second day. Yi Xuan guessed whether it would be a city hanging in the air like Zenan City, but it was an ordinary town, with a square city wall and empty gates on all sides, no different from the county seat of Changyang that Yi Xuan was familiar with.

Mu Tao rubbed his sore right leg and hurried all the way without stopping, making his injured leg and foot feel sore, but he said happily: "Brother Yi, Mianzhu Town has arrived, let's go find my old friend and acquaintance first, I remember that his shop is open in the east of the town." After selling the spirit beast, find an inn to live and rest. ”

Mu Tao took Yi Xuan and Lu Feng into the town, and walked straight to the east, the streets in the town are not wide, and only two carriages can pass side by side, and there are many shops and restaurants on both sides, but there are not many pedestrians on the street, and most of them are in a hurry, and they are indescribably depressed and deserted. Yi Xuan felt bad in his heart, and when he arrived at the acquaintance shop that Mu Tao said, he smiled even more bitterly.

The door of the shop in front of me was tightly closed, the cloth in front of the door was half broken, and the store plaque was covered with dust and cobwebs, obviously not cleaned for a long time. Mu Tao was also surprised, but he didn't give up and walked over and gently patted the door panel a few times, but no one responded at all. But the neighbor next door, a gray-haired aunt, poked her head out of the house: "Who are you looking for?"

Mu Tao turned around and replied, "This aunt, do you know where Lao Zhu, who originally bought spirit beasts here, is?"

The aunt's dim eyes looked at the three of them for a long time before she spoke: "Since Xiaoguicheng raised the taxes and fees of the various towns under its jurisdiction by three percent last year, many shops have closed. ”

"Sancheng? In this way, where can you still earn spirit stones, it is strange that these merchants do not close their shops! Why is this Xiao Guicheng so short-sighted, what is the reason for such a dry and fishing? A big question rose in Yi Xuan's heart.

"How do I know that an old woman is fine, if it's okay, let's go quickly, I have to go back to the house and close the door." Seeing that the town is deserted, and there are not even a few lights at night, what a sin......" The aunt closed the door and complained in her mouth.

Seeing that Mianzhu Town was so dilapidated, and thinking that there was no way to sell this spirit beast, the three of them had a little bit of a summary, so they prepared to go directly to Xiaoguicheng without stopping. Unexpectedly, when he was leaving the city, he was stopped by four or five monks dressed in uniform.

"We are the subordinates of Lord Zhentai, where are you from, and what are you doing in Mianzhu Town?" one of the monks asked in a domineering manner.

Mu Tao took a step forward, and replied respectfully: "Qiqi, this official, we are all farmers in Yixizhuang, and we have come to visit relatives and friends today, and we don't want our old friends to be out of town and have already moved away, so we are ready to go back." ”

"Wait! Is this Mianzhu Town a place where you can come and go, have you paid your entrance fee?" another monk with a full face blocked the three of them and opened his mouth to ask for money.

"What is the entrance fee? No one mentioned it when we entered the city gate? I have been to this Mianzhu Town ten times eight times, and I have never heard of it. Mu Tao's face turned red and he tried to argue.

The monk with a meaty face sneered: "When you enter the city, I want to tell you, do mountain villagers like you still dare to enter the city? Since you have entered the city, don't think about going out without paying the entrance fee, this is a clause announced by the lord of Zhentai half a year ago, and no one can be an exception." ”

Yi Xuan took Mu Tao and Lu Feng behind him: "I don't know what the regulations are for entering the city?"

Several uniformed monks retracted slightly, and a monk dressed as a leader stepped forward and arched his hand perfunctorily: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, why are you entangled with a few lowly mountain villagers?"

Yi Xuan frowned, and said very displeasedly: "These are my close friends, not some lowly mountain villagers. Tell me, how will the entrance fee be charged?"

The little leader said disdainfully: "Your Excellency is the Venerable Master of Jindan, and it is a pity that you don't know how to love yourself and be with the husband of the mountain village! But according to the laws of Jiyang Mansion, the Venerable Master Jindan does not have to pay the levy tax, and the two of them each have ten spirit stones. ”

As soon as Mu Tao heard this, he immediately retorted: "Ten spirit stones, that's almost the price of a hundred catties of spirit valley, where are you entering the city, you are black-hearted than the thieves who block the road and rob them." ”

When the monk with a full face heard this, he immediately threatened: "Okay, we are all Zhentai's subordinates who are acting on orders, and you dare to slander us as thieves, don't you mean that Lord Zhentai is the king of the mountain? ”

Yi Xuan didn't want to cause trouble but was not afraid of causing trouble, seeing that the few monks in front of him were deliberately making things difficult, knowing that it was impossible to have such a high cost of entering the city, he immediately said lightly: "Say, what is the conspiracy of the few people, or what are the plans of the adults behind you?"

When the little leader heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "Your Excellency is quick to talk, it is indeed my family that the adults have invited, I hope you will go and talk about it, and the fees of these two friends will be free." ”

Yi Xuan sneered and smiled: "Your family must also be a Jindan cultivator, with a few subordinates, you want to blackmail a Jindan master, if I go like this, I won't be laughed at by people." I'll go out of the city now, and if your family doesn't show up, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

The monk with a meaty face was so angry that he shouted: "Do you dare to resist arrest and resist?"
