Chapter 3236

Just as Xiao Jian said, there were many carriages and merchants waiting to be inspected by the Xi soldiers. They passed through the border and entered the bridge.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jian spurred his horse on, not even bothering to line up. He galloped through the center of the road, heading towards the soldiers who were holding weapons and guarding the bridge.

"Daoist Priest, please wait …" One of the soldiers walked out and raised his hand, shouting, "Please take out the official document for inspection!"

"Boundless Holy Man …" Xiao Jian called out his Daoist name. He reached into his bosom and took out a square jade clip. He handed it over and said with a smile, "This is my official name. Please check it, General!"

"Daoist Priest, please wait a moment ~" The soldier took the jade clip without looking at it and hurried towards the side of the bridge where several tents were located.

Not long after, a strong man wearing armor with a sword hanging from his waist quickly walked over with the jade clip in his hand. He bowed and said, "This general, Li Xianyu, greets Daoist Priest Xiao!"

"I, Xiao Jian, greets General Li!"

Xiao Jian's face was indifferent. He raised his left hand and saluted, saying, "I brought my disciples and seniors to travel around Yu Province. At this moment, we are heading towards Jia Sa Country. Please make an exception for us."

"Daoist Priest Xiao, you can naturally bring your disciples to Jia Sa Country. This general only needs to inspect the carriage!"

Li Xianyu looked at Xiao Jian, then looked at Xiao Hua and the others, and said with a smile, "But you only wrote Daoist Xiao and a boy named Yuan Ya in the official document. There are still a few blanks left behind, and the remaining two boys …"

"How dare you!"

Xiao Jian shouted, raising his hand. He looked at Xiao Hua very respectfully and said, "This is the senior of this old man's sect, how can this old man's name be written on this old man's official document?"

"Ah?

This general … this general greets Immortal Master! "

Li Xianyu was shocked and hurriedly bowed in front of Xiao Hua. After all, for a young man to be called a senior by an old man, this young man immediately had the demeanor of an Immortal Master!

"Mm ~" Xiao Hua nodded and waved his hand. Li Xianyu couldn't help but stand up.

"Immortal … Immortal Elder …" Li Xianyu straightened up, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously, "I know that Immortal Master is a senior expert, but … does Immortal Master have … do you have an official document?"

"This old man doesn't have any official documents!" Xiao Hua shook his head, "This old man also doesn't need any official documents!"

"This … this …" Li Xianyu gritted his teeth and said awkwardly, "The order I received is that … anyone who comes from the border in front of me must either pay customs duties or … have an official document …"

"Hehe, so that's how it is!" Xiao Hua nodded, "This old man won't make things difficult for you …"

"Senior …" Xiao Jian smiled and said, "As long as you fly over this bridge, you won't have to pay any tariffs!"

"Hmph …" Xiao Hua unhappily looked at Xiao Jian. He clapped his hand and took out a low grade spirit stone, throwing it to Li Xianyu and said, "This old man doesn't have the gold and silver used in the secular world. This is a primeval stone, what do you think?"

"Immortal Master …" Li Xianyu didn't expect Xiao Hua to be so amiable and actually take out a celestial stone. He hurriedly and carefully caught it, smiling apologetically, "You don't have to do this. The order is just to prevent people from pretending to be outsiders. Since Immortal Master is an outsider, you naturally don't have to pay customs duties!"

"How can this old man take back what he took out?" Xiao Hua said indifferently, "You are also a general of a region, so you still have to abide by this order.

Besides, this old man doesn't care about a single primeval stone! "

"Yes, yes, this little one understands!" Li Xianyu lowered his head.

"Can this old man leave now?" Xiao Hua asked politely again.

Li Xianyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of Xiao Hua's horse, saying respectfully, "This little one will send Immortal Master over!"

"Hehe, thank you for your trouble!" Xiao Hua smiled and nodded.

"Damn it, a single primeval stone!

It's gone just like that! "

Xiao Jian watched as Li Xianyu put the primeval stone into his pocket. His eyes turned into hooks, wanting to hook the primeval stone out of Li Xianyu's pocket. He complained in his heart.

Li Xianyu led Xiao Hua's horse all the way to the middle of the bridge before stopping. He bowed and said, "Immortal Master, after crossing this bridge, the border of Jia Sa Country will be there. This little one doesn't dare to cross, so this little one can only send you here."

"Okay, thank you General Li!"

Xiao Hua nodded his head and patted the horse. The horse took small steps and crossed the blood red mark in the middle of the bridge …

At this moment, "Wahaha …" A burst of noise that sounded like the chirping of birds came from the distant horizon. At the same time, a gust of wind blew, causing the various flags on the bridge to flutter in the wind.

"Lai lai lai …" The pitiful horse let out a mournful cry, as if it was extremely scared. It kicked its four hooves and was about to rush down the bridge!

"Hmph ~" Xiao Hua frowned and coldly snorted. The horse immediately felt its body become heavier. Don't talk about running, it couldn't even stand stably.

Just as the horse was about to collapse on the ground, Xiao Hua floated down and patted the horse. The horse obediently lay down on the bridge.

"Caw caw caw …" The sound of birds chirping turned into a burst of hoarse laughter. It came from the right side of the bridge. A black cloud flew over from there and quickly passed by everyone's eyes.

Xiao Hua's gaze swept over and saw an extremely ugly demon within the black cloud. Its body was covered in black fur, but it was holding an almost naked woman in its embrace. The woman was as beautiful as a flower, her skin was whiter than snow. Her lotus like arms were wrapped around the demon's neck. The black and white contrast between the two people was extremely clear within the black cloud.

These two people didn't seem to care about the secular people on the ground at all. They seemed to be teasing them as they rushed forward and disappeared.

"Si?

This … Isn't that a demon?

"Xiao Hua was a little shocked. Looking at the trembling Li Xianyu not far away, he asked curiously," How can it come and go so freely in Jia Sa Country and Xi Country? "

"Good, Senior Immortal knows!" Li Xianyu lowered his voice and said, "This demon is not from my Xi Country.

In the middle of Jia Sa Country, Bronze Pillar Country and Jiang Country, there is a Black Cloud Ridge. It is a place that the three countries are unable to take care of. If I'm not wrong, this demon should be from the Black Cloud Ridge!

Oh, Senior Immortal, if you go to Bronze Pillar Country, you naturally won't be able to, but if you still want to go from Bronze Pillar Country to Jiang Country, then you will have to pass by the Black Cloud Ridge. Senior Immortal must be careful!

I heard that many people have been buried there! "

"Yes, this old man knows!" Xiao Hua nodded. He floated onto the horse and was about to enter Jia Sa Country …

"Senior Immortal, Senior Immortal …" Another voice came from behind Xiao Hua and the rest.

"Oh?" Xiao Hua turned his head to look, only to see an old man with white hair and a beard catching up to them while panting.

Xiao Hua looked at the old man and frowned.

It was obvious that this was an old man from the secular world. He looked to be around sixty years old. To be honest, compared to Xiao Hua's age … He was really like a child!

However, Xiao Hua looked to be in his twenties. When facing this kind of white-haired old man, he felt a kind of pressure in his heart!

He would naturally call him an old man, and would also naturally call him a brat!

"Could this be the legendary judging a book by its cover?" Xiao Hua rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly to himself.

"What's the matter, old man?" Fortunately, before Xiao Hua could speak, Xiao Jian had already stood in front of Xiao Hua.

"Greetings, Daoist!" The old man bowed respectfully, "This old man is Qi Jin from the Xun Hai Trading Company!

I came to look for Daoist … There is something I would like to discuss with Daoist! "

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Xiao Hua.

Xiao Jian frowned and said curiously, "I and the others don't have a place to stay, and we don't have any training grounds. If old man has any wish to fulfill, I'm afraid I and the others won't be able to satisfy it!"

"Daoist …" Qi Jin's face had a trace of pleading as he said in a low voice, "This old man doesn't want to pray for the gods. This old man has another matter to discuss with Daoist. If possible … I would like to ask Daoist to cross the bridge with your master and wait by the roadside. This old man will explain everything!"

As he spoke, Qi Jin took out a small silver ingot and stuffed it into Xiao Jian's hand. He said, "In addition, my Xun Hai Trading Company will pay for the customs for Daoist and the others to enter Jia Sa Country. I only hope that Daoist can hear about this matter …"

Xiao Jian touched the silver ingot and felt it was slippery. His heart was already blooming with joy. He turned to look at Xiao Hua and said with a smile, "Senior, what do you think?"

"Hehe, you have already agreed, so why ask this old man?"

Xiao Hua smiled. At this time, he already had a plan for the road ahead. Everything was just a kind of experience. No matter what the old man's request was, in Xiao Hua's eyes, it might not be difficult.

Even Xiao Hua had some intuition that it was related to the evil spirit in the black clouds.

"I's master has agreed. I will wait for you at the front!"

Xiao Jian looked at the many carriages lined up behind the old man and knew that this was the Xun Hai Trading Company's fleet. It would take them a lot of time to cross the border.

"Yes, yes, thank you Daoist, thank you Immortal!"

Qi Jin was overjoyed at the unexpected good news. He bowed and hurriedly ran to the back. Following his shouts, a burst of laughter rang out. Some of the people next to the carriages saluted Xiao Hua and the others.

Xiao Hua didn't care about these people's thanks. Instead, he asked in astonishment, "Xiao Jian, could it be that … after crossing the border between Xi and Jia Sa Country, not only do we have to pay customs in Xi, but also in Jia Sa Country?"

"Senior …" Xiao Jian pulled the reins of his horse and followed Xiao Hua down the bridge. He explained, "That's right!

However, people and goods are different.

People only have to pay ten copper coins for crossing the border, while goods have to pay according to the value of the goods. "

"This … isn't this … robbery?" Xiao Hua immediately thought of the perverted sea beast he encountered in the West Sea.

What was the difference between this and a sea beast?

If there was any difference, it would be that they were openly using the banner of righteousness, making it impossible for people to avoid!
