On the second day, the anti-smuggling squad appeared in Yongzhou.

The entire Yongzhou City is divided into small areas according to the nine-square grid. In each small area, an anti-smuggling unit is in charge. In each detachment, there were nine ordinary sergeants and one leading monk. They followed a pre-set route, patrolling back and forth in a murderous manner, and when they encountered a suspicious situation, they stopped them directly, interrogated them strictly, and even demanded that the storage bags be handed over for inspection. Of course, the True Spiritual Monks, and some powerful True Monks, they were all allowed to go.

In addition, such as the Great Collection of Everything, the Separation Pavilion, the Huixiang Building, the Strange Pavilion, and the Huanzhu Building, there is another team on duty to patrol. Sometimes, the leading captain of the monk would ask to participate in some suspicious private dealing, so much so that in each place, in order to protect the privacy of customers, a cloak was quickly added to hide his face and breath.

Outside the city, Zeng Shan ordered the left and right staff to set up checkpoints outside the east and west city gates. These two are both true people in the cultivation realm of the ninth layer, one west and one east, and strictly implement the policy of comprehensive body search. There is also Zeng Shan, a true spirit refining monk wearing flying cloud boots, in the plum garden that is only more than a hundred miles away. Those monks who received the news and wanted to leave Yongzhou suffered heavy losses, and they could almost be regarded as "leaving the city". Except for the first day of the anti-smuggling detachment, not many people dared to go out.

As for Snow Peach Valley, there is also an anti-smuggling squad, which is sent by the right general Murong Xue. There is only a monastery, and there is no anti-smuggling squad.

On the same day, Yongzhou City was in chaos. In the streets and alleys, there are quite a lot of conflicts. Why did you search my body, and why did you ask me to hand over my storage bag for inspection?。。。。。。 It doesn't work, but in the end, it mostly evolves into hands-on. As a result, Wuxu had to use his own strength in the City Lord's Mansion to protect the city protection array. Of course, with Zeng Shan behind him and even did not hesitate to personally come forward to kill people, the prestige of the anti-smuggling squad was gradually erected.

But, that's all. After Wuxu knew this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smiled.

Soon, a day later. The interface of Yongzhou City is much lighter. Pure and clean, there are many fewer monks who go out; the light and elegant, the monks who go out are not even the ones who check the hosta on their heads and hang the treasure knife on their waists, and they can't wait to be like ordinary people, without a trace of aura.

The shops are also deserted, there are trades, and they are also extremely commonplace.

The restaurant opened by the Li family. The monks who came used to order a plate of pork meat, but now they only order a plate of ordinary white chicken, and those who used to order a pot of good spiritual wine, now they only order a pot of soju that is as light as water。。。。。 Busy those ordinary people in the restaurant.

That big deal, only sold some rouge gouache with a little spiritual grass flavor.

Returning the pearl building, it is just selling some talismans of the door, the kind that sticks to the door.

Liqing Pavilion, Huixiang Building, and Strange Pavilion, almost no one goes.

At night, Yongzhou City is even more quiet. Even fewer monks came out, and most of them whispered only occasionally when they got together.

Empty, deserted, and miserable.

Naturally, there are people who come to the city lord's mansion to complain. Wu Xuan disappeared from all of them, and later simply promoted retreat, in the secret room, let his mind fly, and communicate with the sea sound conch flying in the sky. The great array of stars in Zhou Tian should be in the heavens and stars, and it is extremely mysterious. Enlightenment and humility hooked up with the sea conch, and gradually immersed in it, it turned out to be a real retreat, and the mind traveled outside the world.

The heads of the three major families, as well as Fairy Yu, seemed to have discussed it, but all of them never showed up, as if they were also closed.

Lu Zihai and Jiang Ping, the dead are dead, and they are gone.

At present, inside and outside Yongzhou, it is up to Zeng Shan to have the final say. Where to search, and whose 。。。。。。

But even so, the spiritual resources collected are not much, and even less than one day a day. It is said that a monk who lived near the Plum Garden often heard Zeng Shanyin's cold and angry rebuke and angry shouts at home.

"Spiritual resources! It's spiritual resources! It's a good spiritual resource!"

"What do you mean by bringing a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry? Could it be that Zeng is a vulgar general who is greedy for money in the world?!"

"The focus is on the big set of everything opened by the three major families and the people of the Demon Domain, as well as the Huanzhu Building!

"What's the matter, General Ben is carrying it for you!"

。。。。。

Clear-eyed people can see that if this Yongzhou City does not gradually die out in this light silence, it will go crazy sooner or later, like a volcano under heavy snow.

。。。。。。

On Yongzhou, it is thousands of feet high, and the Zhou Tian Xingchen Array is running endlessly. Wuxu is like incarnating in it, a person, a star. Tens of thousands of miles a day, see all the Xuanyin stars, although hazy.

In many places, especially in the surrounding areas, the situation is similar to that of Yongzhou.

Realize the void and don't care. Every time my mind is placed on the high-altitude sea sound conch, Wuxu will have a kind of self-trance and soar rapidly, and the lower part is sinking rapidly, as if the heaven and the earth are separated again.

Suddenly, a star, from the front, roared, with a blue and green light, flickering around.

Zhou Tian Star Array, more than 100 stars, each flying around Xuanyin, in fact, has its own trajectory, and there will never be a collision.

So, this star is at most a raglan pass. It's just that this star, in the so-called passing by, seems to have stopped for an extremely short time.

After another twelve hours, this star passed by the sea sound conch of Wuxu, and a divine consciousness came, "You are the new city lord of Yongzhou, right?"

Wuxu replied that it was true, this star was gone.

"Sure enough, it was you! You almost hit me last time!"

"I'm sorry, it's a sin, it's a little monk Qixing last time, the first time, it's inevitable that I'm a little rusty. “

"Yongzhou has three treasures, ginseng, deer antler and tofu brain. “

"Ginseng antler velvet, there is. But tofu brain seems to be a snack in the south, right?"

"Is the tofu brain from the South? Oh, maybe I'm mistaken. “

"The snow scene in Yongzhou is good. There is a plum garden, which is said to be quite a valuable species. “

"I don't know where my friend is, if you have time, you can come and see it for yourself. “

。。。。。。。

A day with such a conversation, Wuxu was a little secretly fascinated. It turns out that people can also communicate with each other through such a dialogue between stars and stars, but they have forgotten their cultivation and Yongzhou.

Your physical body is in place, but your consciousness is flying in the sky. Because, in the sky, there is a star that belongs to you.

The stars change, and you meet her (him). Stars and stars, passing by, reflecting each other, just a few words, brilliance.

Fate, or karma.

This fate and this karma are only in the starry sky in the sky

"Huh?!Why is Yongzhou City so deserted?"

"Restructuring and changing the law, a new atmosphere. “

"How can you be the lord of the city? This fairy is peaceful!"

"Oh, where is the place where the Taoist friends are? The little monk went to see one or two when he was free. “

"I am the city lord of Gannan City in Beidou Mansion. But for now, it's New Year's time in Kyoto. But if you're just looking, you can always look at it in the array. Don't you know that yet?"

This, Wuxu will naturally be.

Beidou Mansion is a state capital adjacent to Daomen in the northwest of the Wuxu Great Zhou Dynasty. Gannan City is a small city below it, but it is not a border city. When the sea sound conch flew to the sky above this Gannan City, Wu Xuan increased the output of divine consciousness, and the sea sound snail shone, hanging down a ray of light.

Sure enough, this Gannan City is peaceful. The lights are colorful, lively and lively, whether it is the monks in the city or the ordinary people outside the city, there is a trace of joy on their faces.

As far as Wuxu knows, because of the restructuring and reform of the law, the collection of spiritual resources, the collection of exercises, and the relocation of ordinary people, the capitals and cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty have encountered some resistance to a greater or lesser extent, and even riots.

Just as he was surprised, the sea conch had already flown over Gannan City. Wu Xuan thought about it, he had never carefully explored the Xuanyin Star in the Zhou Tian Star Array like this. It's okay to take this opportunity to take a closer look.

As a result, the mind of enlightenment is not relaxed, and the divine consciousness continues to be stimulated. The sea conch shines while flying. Wuxu saw that many cities were like Gannan City, peaceful, lively and festive. Looking at it again, this is the case in most areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for Yongzhou, of course.

At this time, an incomparably powerful divine sense shot out from the center of the Zhou Tian Star Array, landed on the sea sound conch, and turned into a voice like thunder, "Bold Yongzhou City Lord, the Spring Festival is approaching, the whole world is celebrating, you actually abuse the star array, swaggering day and night, and disturbing the people!"

Wuxu immediately reacted, "The little monk didn't notice it for a while. I also hope that my predecessors will forgive my sins. I don't know the name of the seniors? The little monk is here to pay homage to the seniors in their early years. ”

"Hugh! Thinking of your first offense, I'll spare you once, it's better to retreat quickly!"

There was a burst of coercion all around, and Wu Xuan suddenly felt that the connection between his divine consciousness and the sea sound conch had been forcibly interrupted. , Wuxu was in the secret room of the Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't help but spin for a while, and after a little breathing, he hurriedly flew to the Plum Garden.

"To appease the people, this is the business of the city lord. Zeng Shan looked at Wuxu with a strange look, "What does it have to do with General Ben's anti-smuggling?"

Isn't this pretending to be confused? Wuxu said anxiously, "Things are in a hurry, and now that the New Year is approaching, if you are still so murderous, wouldn't it be too bad for the scenery? You don't know, we have only looked at it for a day or two, and many places, especially in the territory of the Great Zhou, are all peaceful. ”

Zeng Shan still looked at Wuxu with some puzzlement, "This section and that section are just the customs of the laity. That's all we monks can do. Nowadays, the ordinary people in Yongzhou have been moved to the Snow Peach Valley outside the city by the city lord. The city lord only needs to distribute some food and clothing when the time comes, and he doesn't need a few spirit stones. ”

"Isn't the monk a festival?" Wu Xuan was stunned. In the years when Wuxu first went to the sky, in the Demon Tiger Park, he really never had a Spring Festival or anything. But Wuxu thought that this was a festival for demons to cultivate but not to humans. Who would have thought that Zeng Shan said that monks are just these layman customs.

The little monk saw with his own eyes that in the territory of the Great Zhou, monks from all over the country were also putting up lanterns and even buying New Year's goods. Wuxu stared at Zeng Shan, suspicious.

"Oh, I see. Zeng Shan suddenly laughed, "I thought the city lord was here to make a fortune." ”

What is the fate? Wuxu motioned to Zeng Shan to make it clear in one go.

It turns out that monks are basically just ordinary people, even human monks. Xuanyin Star ordinary people, nine times out of ten are in the Great Zhou. In order to appease the common people, gather popularity, and make them have a lively and lively Spring Festival, the imperial court ordered all state capitals to hold a grand feast for monks during the Spring Festival to show that the whole world celebrates. In the feast, there is free food and drink (at the monk's level, of course), there is also an auction, there can also be a contest with prizes, and even a true spiritual monk to guide the cultivation or something。。。。。

According to Zeng Shan, now that the system has been reformed, ordinary people have moved out and separated from the monks. There is no need for such a feast. As for other places, what Wuxu saw should be that various places are still being held for various reasons, and even ordered that all parts of the city must be decorated. But it is no longer mandatory, otherwise the imperial court would have issued an invention order a long time ago.

As for what the various considerations in various places are, although Zeng Shan did not say it explicitly, Wuxu also guessed eight or nine points. Since the reform of the system and the law, many monks and forces have been very resistant and uneasy, and continuing the tradition and creating an atmosphere is conducive to appeasement; moreover, at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne this year, there is always a need for some whitewashing and atmosphere.

After Wuxu understood, he extinguished his thoughts. When the time comes, spend a few low-grade spirit stones and distribute some New Year's goods to the ordinary people in the Snow Peach Valley outside the city. In the city, hold a feast for the monks, forget it, it's a big deal to find someone to hang some lanterns in the city, put some couplets or something.

Wuxu clasped his palms towards Zeng Shan and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Zeng Shan again.

"Since the city lord mentioned this, Zeng Mou thought about it, although Yongzhou is located in a remote area, it is really not good to be so cold and clean. If it is used by some people to make a fuss, although His Majesty will not punish him, he will definitely not like it in his heart. Zeng Shan said thoughtfully.

"Funds are tight! Wu Xuan replied lightly, but there was a sneer in his heart, the anti-smuggling team must have scraped a lot of ground in the past half a month, you, the imperial guard, since you have this thought, you must have to bleed.

Sure enough, Zeng Shan readily accepted all the expenses, but said that this activity called a feast for the people has always been handled by the left and right counselors of the state government, and his subordinates are all rough people who can only fight and kill, so this matter still has to be taken care of by the city lord's mansion.

This seems to have some meaning of sharing the credit, Wuxu naturally smiled and nodded.

Before leaving, Wuxu asked with a casual smile, "The general said that the monks are not the Spring Festival, so why did the little monk meet the city lord of Gannan City of Beidou Mansion in the Zhou Tian Xingchen Great Array a few days ago, but she said that she was already waiting for the New Year in Kyoto at this moment?"

Zhou Tian Xingchen Great Array?Beidou Mansion Gannan City Lord?

Zeng Shan stood there, looked up at the sky, then lowered his head, and casually looked not far away, before he smiled at Wu and said, "The Great Zhou royal family, and some families, their ancestors were originally ordinary people, so some things have been preserved as part of the family inheritance. ”

I see, if Wuxu has an understanding, I wanted to ask the city lord of Gannan City in Beidou Mansion again. Zeng Shan had already turned around and walked into the flowers.

He held a pot in one hand, folded plums in the other, and drank and groaned,

I walk alone in thousands of mountains and rivers, and the stars move to hide the shadows.

A pinch of cold plums to celebrate the New Year, the wind and snow fragrance do not stop.

I wish all the officials and colleagues, a happy new year, and happiness like a fairy!
