When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately said puzzled: "Slave? What do you mean by that? ”

The nine-tailed fox chuckled, "It's very simple, if they want to live here, they have to pay taxes once a month. Don't look at this as a place where inferior people live, but the monthly tax is as high as hundreds of thousands. Of course, the worst person who can enter here has to be a monk with some cultivation, so hundreds of thousands is not difficult for such a person. They can obtain it in many ways, such as doing some trading, or simply selling their magic weapons or things from where they can directly sell them to the Heavenly Dao Alliance. But even so, they are still stretched thin by the cost of each month. You say they are not slaves, but what are they? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled bitterly and said, "This Heavenly Dao Alliance is really going to find a way to make money, but I don't understand, why do these people and demons have to pay a high price to come here?" Are they willing to be the culprit? ”

The nine-tailed fox smiled slightly: "What do you know? In this territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, not only can you buy and sell any news and items, but you can also use this place as a refuge. There is a rule here, that is, you can't fight in private, no matter how big a grudge there is outside, when you get here, you have to be honest, if you don't follow the rules, it's not as simple as losing your life, it's likely that your soul will be scattered, and you will never be able to live forever. Of course, there are also those who don't die, but they all end miserably. In addition, there is one biggest benefit here, and that is the opportunity to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance. You must know that being able to enter the Heavenly Dao Alliance is the dream of many people. ”

"Dreams? Joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance has also become a dream? ”

Seeing that Tong didn't believe it, the nine-tailed fox said patiently: "Of course! Do you know how huge the Heavenly Dao Alliance is? It was the only organization in the human realm that was recognized by the celestial realm. If you join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, you will be promoted to a god in the future, and if you become a god, you can greatly obtain longevity. Why do humans and demons cultivate, after all, it's not for immortality? To be able to live a little longer, close to immortality, joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance will be the best way. ”

What the nine-tailed fox said is conclusive, and it doesn't seem to be nonsense. But in this way, it made Tong Yan even more unbelievable.

He didn't speak again, but began to think.

"Is this really still my Heavenly Dao Alliance? When did my Heavenly Dao Alliance become a slave of the Heavenly Realm? Since when has it become so difficult to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance? What's going on with all this? What happened in the human world during the time I was away? ”

Too many questions appeared in his mind, and too many uneasiness began to grow in his heart.

"I have to figure it out, I have to find people I know. Brother Qing, Xuanmo, Kua Father and Brother, you must still be there, right? ”

While he was thinking, the owner of the shop had already brought the dishes and noodles to the table.

"Several, the dishes are ready, let's enjoy them slowly!"

Seeing this, the nine-tailed fox nodded with a smile, and then picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the little tree demon and Tong Yan in turn.

Because the little tree demon brought chopsticks with him, he didn't take the chopsticks handed by the nine-tailed fox, but couldn't wait to eat the vegetables.

"Tong Yan, give you chopsticks! What are you thinking? ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he came back to his senses, hurriedly took the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "No...... I didn't think about anything, I just was a little empty. Wow, this dish is good, and this noodle looks delicious. ”

The nine-tailed fox smiled slightly: "If you like it, eat it while it's hot." After eating, I'm going to run errands. ”

Without further words, the three of them immediately became swept away. I have to say that the taste of this dish and noodles is really a must, and it is really not a good skill to be able to open a store in this small city.

The three of them were a little hungry until they ate all the dishes on the plate and the noodles in the bowl, and then they put down their chopsticks.

The little dryad wiped his mouth with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, if you can eat here every day, it would be great." ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan laughed and teased: "You are so fat, if you are allowed to eat here every day, it is estimated that you will be fat in a few days." ”

The little dryad said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with being fat, anyway, I can change, I can become whatever I want." ”

That's true, youkai are probably what they do best with change. It's a pity that the immortal power in Tong Yan's body has disappeared, otherwise, he can also cast the art of change.

The nine-tailed fox took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket and put it on the table, and then said to the busy shopkeeper, "Boss, the money is on the table." Here we go! ”

With that, she stood up.

Tong Yan stared at the pile of money, and said with a little surprise: "So much money for a meal?" ”

The nine-tailed fox sighed lightly and said, "No, otherwise, why don't I dare to stay here for too long?" It's mainly because I'm shy! This is only a place for the inferior, a place for the middle and the high, and the consumption is basically settled in diamonds. Alright, don't waste time. Let's go! ”

When Tong Yan and the little tree demon heard this, they hurriedly got up, and then followed the nine-tailed fox and continued to walk towards the depths of the ground.

The nine-tailed fox walked around left and right, and finally stopped at a roadside stall.

The roadside stall is extremely simple, just a red cloth is spread on the ground, and it is not obvious that it is doing business. However, the stall owner attracted Tong Yan's attention.

I saw that the stall owner was already in his old age, with sparse hair, all silver-haired, his face was furrowed and horizontal, black patches, and a pair of eyes were closed, sitting cross-legged. If he weren't wearing a loose black coat, he would be a skinny little old man.

The nine-tailed fox stood still in front of the red cloth, and then said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if there is any news about my relatives?" ”

The old man didn't even open his eyes, but shook his head.

Seeing this, the nine-tailed fox immediately showed a look of disappointment on his face, and sighed lightly: "Even you don't know their news, it seems that my trip has been in vain again." Fellow Daoist, farewell! ”

With that, she turned to leave.

And at this moment, the old man suddenly said: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell!" That black-clothed fellow may be able to help you find them. ”

Friends in black? The nine-tailed fox immediately turned its head to look at Tong Yan and the little tree demon. Tong Yan and the little tree demon are both wearing black sweatshirts, and the so-called black-clothed Taoist friend is referring to one of them?

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? Can the two of them help me find my brother and friends? ”

The old man did not answer directly, but said to himself: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, everything is the will of heaven!" Skywalker, can you turn things around and change everything this time? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan couldn't help frowning.

"Skywalker? Isn't that me? What does this old man know? ”
