Chapter 2 Tax

Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded.

Although he has never experienced the "yellow sand storm" in Hongfeng's mouth, Jiang Ming felt the difficulty of the "yellow sand storm" when he saw Hongfeng's tone and expression.

Jiang Ming was not worried at all that the two brothers and sisters had the intention to kill him. He found out that the two brothers and sisters were just virtual immortals, and the energy fluctuation and blood in their bodies was not strong at all. In the early stage of death, he could fight with the bull, not to mention the improvement of his realm. After the physical refinement, his combat power soared several times.

Seeing Jiang Ming nodding, Hongfeng smiled warmly and said, "Brother Jiang Ming, come up! This auspicious cloud was refined by my exhaustion, and the speed is much faster than that of ordinary virtual immortals.

Jiang Ming wanted to go up, but when he saw Honglan's disgusted expression, he smiled helplessly and said, "No, you lead the way!" The three of us can keep up.

"Well, I'll try to slow down!" Hongfeng took a look at Honglan, knew what Jiang Ming was thinking, and said with a wry smile.

Hongfeng stimulated the mana, and the clouds suddenly turned into a streamer and flew out of dozens of miles. This speed is not fast.

Jiang Ming smiled, and his back body moved and chased him up in an instant. Naturally, Jiang Yi doesn't need to say much. He will definitely catch up. But I didn't expect that Monsa's speed was so fast, walking in the air, like a dancing fairy, following up slowly.

"Huh? You are so fast!" Jiang Ming said in surprise.

Mosa wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly, "Humph! What is this? It's just that you keep looking at me!"

————

Jiancheng, the only city with a radius of millions of miles in the fifth heaven, is also a big city comparable to a small secular country, which is held by the Great Sword Sect.

However, a city of this size can only be regarded as a projectile land in the fairyland, which shows the vastness of the fairyland.

From afar, this towering and tall city is like a sharp blade, surrounded by sharp sword arrays, and its sharpness is compelling. At the gate of the ten-foot-high city, there were two practitioners in Taoist robes who guarded the desperate realm and collected the spiritual stones entering the city.

Jiang Ming and the other three were extremely embarrassed because they did not carry spiritual stones on their bodies. Although they only need ten low-grade spiritual stones to enter the city, they are also overstretched.

Seeing this, Hongfeng smiled helplessly and paid the fee for Jiang Ming and the others to enter the city.

Jiang Ming quickly thanked him, saying that he could do something for Hongfeng. Hongfeng smiled and even said no. I don't know whether it was really free and easy, or whether he thought that Jiang Ming and the other two were not capable enough to do anything for him.

Hongfeng took the three people to a courtyard, covering hundreds of flat areas, full of fairy spirit and full of aura. If it is a good place for cultivation in the secular world, but in this vast fairyland, these houses are just "small houses". After Hongfeng arranged everyone's residence, he talked with Jiang Ming.

Through conversation, Jiang Ming learned that there was an earth-shaking war in the fairyland countless years ago, which affected 33 days. The fairyland above was fine, but the 20 fairyland below collapsed on a large scale due to the war, and the bottom four heavens even disappeared completely. And the "Yellow Sand Storm" is also a natural disaster after the fairyland is broken, which is extremely horrible. Without the forbidden protection of the city, the powerful true immortals will be torn to pieces by the "Yellow Sand Storm".

Fairyland is different from the mortal world. The day and night are twelve hours, and the day and night in the fairy world can last for a year, alternating with each other. Jiang Ming and others happened to meet day and night. At this time, the "yellow sand storm" gradually rose and began to rage. This yellow sand storm lasted for two months before disappearing. If you don't find a corresponding city shelter before this period, you will be torn to pieces by the "yellow sand storm".

Jiang Ming was glad that he met Hongfeng at this moment, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Jiang Ming was curious and asked, "You and Honglan are brothers and sisters. Why do you treat people generously and politely, but she seems to be very disgusted with us?"

A gloomy moment appeared in Hongfeng's eyes and said, "Decades ago, our parents saved several depressed immortals from outside the city at this time because of their benevolence. However, after they entered the city, they coveted our small house. The three of them joined hands to attack my parents and made them fall. If the guards of the Great Sword Sect had not arrived in time at the last moment and repelled the evil immortals, our brother and sister would have been poisoned. Since then, my sister's personality has changed greatly, and she will be disgusted when she sees people like you. However, when I was a child, I was alone in the mountains and was stared at by a fierce beast that took his life. If it hadn't been for a kind-hearted old fairy to save me, I think the cave in the virtual world would have fallen by then. The old fairy told me to be kind and help when I can help. Good people are always rewarded. After that, I kept this sentence firmly in my heart.

Jiang Ming nodded. He didn't expect that Hong Fengjing had such a bitter and sad experience and could still maintain a kind heart, which was valuable.

"Do you know how to enter the higher fairyland?" Jiang Ming asked.

Hongfeng shook his head and said, "After the fairyland was broken, all the passages to the upper and lower worlds were almost locked. The only way to our fifth heaven to the higher fairyland is said to be control by the ethereal sect of the fifth heaven, which can transmit ten people into the fairyland every ten years. However, these places can only be obtained by the achievements of the ethereal sect, the old antiques that are difficult to promote in the fifth heaven and the outstanding children of their sects. Outsiders will never get them.

Jiang Ming sighed helplessly and said, "That can only be discussed in the long way!"

Bum! Bang! Bang!

"Open the door, open the door... Hongfeng, open the door!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a irritable cry came from outside the door.

Hongfeng's face changed slightly and said, "This is the tax collector. I'll go and have a look."

After saying that, Hongfeng smiled apologetically and turned away. Jiang Ming felt bored and simply followed.

Hongfeng opened the door and saw a man in a Taoist robe and a fleshy virtual fairyland standing outside the door with a team of life-threatening monks, his face full of irritability and impatience.

"Hongfeng, it's time to pay taxes again. The tax of your house for a year is 150 low-grade spiritual stones!"

The light flashed in Hongfeng's hand, took out a pile of spiritual stones and said with a smile, "Captain Hong, these are 120 low-grade spiritual stones. Can you accommodate them? I will definitely make up for it in the coming year."

"What? Next year? The life of the practitioners has today but not tomorrow, and there is no continuous fighting. Who knows if you still have next year? 150 low-grade spiritual stones, one can't be missing. If you can't hand it over, I have to follow the rules. Captain Hong didn't think about it, and his face sank and scolded angrily.

Hongfeng sweated coldly on the spot and said with a smile, "Captain Hong, my ancestors have lived in this sword city, and they are all honest people. I promise to hand in enough spiritual stones next year. You can accommodate it this time!"

"No, since you really don't have a spiritual stone, just follow the rules!" Captain Hong said indifferently.

At this time, Honglan came out of the house with a cold face and asked sharply, "Hey! Do you still have any humanity? With my brother's talent, he should have broken through to the realm of true immortals, but every year for decades, you have been looking for an excuse to extract his success, which has made him no progress for more than ten years. Last year we had 80 spiritual stones, and you collected 100. This year we have 120, but you have to collect 150. You are deliberately making things difficult.

Captain Hong blushed twice and said with a smile, "Our Great Sword Sect also has its own difficulties! Not only do the disciples in the sect need spiritual stone cultivation, but also the prohibition method to block the yellow sand storm also needs a large number of spiritual stones to maintain. Now the yellow sand storm is getting stronger and stronger year by year, and we have no choice but to do it.

"You..."

Captain Hong looked like a scoundrel, but he didn't leave it: "It's okay if you don't want me to extract your brother's success! As long as you promise to be my Taoist couple, how about I put the spiritual stone you need every year in the future?

"You are dreaming! Come on, isn't it just a success? I can stand it."

Hearing this, Hongfeng seemed not to touch the reverse scales, and his face became gloomy.

"That's what you said. I'll see how many times you can bear it!" Captain Hong's eyes glowed coldly and sneered.

Jiang Ming frowned, stood up and said, "Wait!"

"What? Are you going to put a spiritual stone on him? Captain Hong's tone was sway, and his eyes were full of warnings and viciousness.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "This is not true. However, before entering the city, the Hongfeng brothers paid 30 spiritual stones for the three of us. Now that we are out of the city, how about those 30 spiritual stones to make up for the missing 30?

"Brother Jiang Ming, no! If you go out, you will be torn to pieces by the yellow sand storm. Isn't it just a success? It's no big deal." Hongfeng quickly stopped it.

A flash of brilliance flashed in Honglan's eyes, and her face softened slightly when she looked at Jiang Ming.

"Hmm?"

Captain Hong looked at Jiang Ming with a little surprise, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised a cold arc: "Hongfeng, I didn't expect you to have three outsiders living here. The spirit stone is 300. If you can't hand it over, you can only extract 20% of your skills. And even if you step into this gate, you need to hand in the spiritual stone. Even if you go out, the spiritual stone cannot be returned to you.

"You have to take an inch!" Honglan's face changed greatly and she roared.

Captain Hong sneered and said, "I'm doing things according to the rules. Shouldn't you unripless people be blessed by my Great Sword Sect and hand over the spirit stone?

"Are you sure you really want to follow the rules?"

At this time, Monta suddenly said. Her pretty face is as cold as a glacier.
