Cheng Lingzhu also transformed into a slightly younger man, with a white face and a gentle and gentle man.

But she was wearing ordinary clothes.

The master is the aide to the county magistrate, and is an extra-staff member, without official seals.

"Let's go, county magistrate."

Cheng Lingzhu smiled.

Lu Xuan glanced at the statue of the snake god in the distance and said aloud:

"Let's go, take the Snake City!"

……………………

In Qingxian City.

At a tea stall, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu were drinking tea while observing the surrounding environment.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu have not yet reported to the county government.

The reason was that before entering Qingxian City, Lu Xuan thought of some other things.

It is quite rare to pass on the inheritance of people who are destined to be a destined person.

After all, the characteristic of a city-state inheritance land is that it is fake and real. The NPCs in the city all have their own ideas, and they even don’t know that they are fake.

When a person with a destiny enters it, he will only think that he has come to an ordinary city and participates in the normal operation of the whole city, which will affect the storyline.

It was not until after passing many tests that I realized that this was the city of inheritance left by my predecessors.

The most exquisite thing about the whole process is when the truth is revealed in the end.

But Qingxian City puts his identity directly in front of him, which is to tell the inheritor:

"This city is a copy, and everyone in it is npc."

"You are playing role-playing games now, hurry up and find a way to pass the level."

Too straightforward and lacks the charm of fairy tales.

If this design is passed on, it will be laughed at by other powerful people.

"We must pass the test as a county magistrate."

Cheng Lingzhu thought:

"The one who is left behind is a powerful person, and the one who is tested is also a practitioner, but in this city, our identity is the magistrate of an ordinary country..."

Lu Xuan nodded:

"What this senior should mean is that we cannot use our cultivation...at least we cannot use too high cultivation, but we must use our wisdom to solve the crisis encountered in Qingxian City."

He had already detected it with his soul, and this was an ordinary city.

Not to mention myself and Cheng Lingzhu, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can kill this city through.

"What is the power of a county chief? What danger can there be?"

Cheng Lingzhu frowned.

It was precisely for this reason that the two decided to understand the situation first.

Lu Xuan replaced the official uniforms on his body, dressed up as an ordinary person with Cheng Lingzhu, and entered the city.

Lu Xuan raised his head and looked around.

Every household here has a small square platform on the exterior walls of all the shops.

On the square platform is a smaller statue with a human head and a snake body, exactly the same as the statue I saw outside the city before.

Each statue has a blue-black cloth strip, which is very strange.

"This is the first time that two guests have come to our Qingxian City?"

At this moment, a white-haired old man came over.

He is the owner of a tea stall. His business is not busy today, and there are only three or four customers in total.

"Oh? How did the father-in-law see it?"

Lu Xuan smiled.

"Hehe, if I had been to our Qingxian City, how could I be so unfamiliar with [Qingxian]?"

The old man laughed.

"Qingxian?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"yes."

The old man nodded:

"Qingxian, it is the patron saint of our Qingxian City. According to legend, a big green python saved everyone's lives when it was flooded.

Later, the surviving people rebuilt this city and thanked the life-saving grace of the big green python, so they named the city after "Qingxian".

"This is the case."

When Lu Xuan heard this, he nodded slightly, "No wonder every household in Qingxian City has placed Qingxian statues in front of the door."

"Actually, this is also the requirement of [Qingxian Society]. How dare we open business people violate the orders of the Qingxian Society?"

The old man sighed.

"Qingxianhui?"

Cheng Lingzhu was stunned when he heard this.

"The Qingxian Society is a local society, responsible for organizing sacrifices and in charge of all matters related to Qingxian."

The old man explained:

"These Qingxian statues were invited by everyone at a high price from the Qingxian Association... If you don't invite them, you will be disrespectful to Qingxian. At the least, you will be fined for silver, and at the worst, you will be sentenced to prison."

"Can a civil society be sent to prison? Will this Qingxian be so arrogant?"

Lu Xuan frowned.

"Hey, please be careful with your words."

The old man changed his face when he heard this. He looked around and found that no one noticed this, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"In our city, the Qingxian Society is the sky, and all the officers and soldiers of the yamen have to rely on their breath.

The people in the city know that if you offend the yamen, you can still argue a few more words, but if you offend the Qingxian Society... you won’t even see the sun tomorrow.”

The old man shook his head helplessly, "The little old man's tea stall has 50% of his monthly income to the adults of the Qingxian Society."

"How much tax do you pay to the court?"

Cheng Lingzhu asked.

"Twenty percent."

The old man smiled bitterly:

"So throughout the year, at most, you won't starve to death and you won't even dare to suffer from illness.

If you get sick once and have no money to treat, you have to go to Qingxian Club to borrow usury. If you can’t pay back, you will sell your children and daughters. It’s not uncommon for a family to be destroyed."

"If the court is so arrogant, will the court ignore it?"

Lu Xuan knocked on the table.

"Where can I take care of the court?"

The tea stall owner sighed:

"What's going on in the country now... What's the Black Lotus Sect? The Black Lotus Demons are rebelling everywhere, and the smoke is everywhere. The court has no time to manage a small county like ours?"

Lu Xuan looked up the street, and there was some chaos and noisy in Qingxian City.

This is because in recent days, many people who fled from Qinghe County have flocked to the city.

The reason is that the Black Lotus Sect in Qinghe County was in trouble, and the people escaped after killing officials and rebelling.

This also explains why the people in Qingxian City do not run out.

People outside live even worse than those in the city.

"Where is the county magistrate before Qingxian City, do you ignore this?"

Cheng Lingzhu thought of this problem.

"They all the officials wear a pair of pants with Qingxian."

The old man spoke:

"Every term of magistrate takes office, he must cooperate with the Qingxian Association, establish clever names, and plunder people's wealth and omission.

Part of the money here was paid taxes, and the other part was paid into the magistrate's pocket.
