"No wonder Shaxi Town abandoned its original sites one after another due to the diversion of the stream," because Shaxi Town with a stream passing through it is a truly living city.

Travelers in the desert will automatically look for an oasis, looking for hope of life. The significance of Shaxi Town here is to embody the word "oasis".

Officials in Shaxi Town had known that Lin Xingzhi would come, and had arranged for people to wait for him these days.

Seeing the carriages and horses that were out of place entering the city, a clever servant went back to report. In just a moment, all the officials in the town arrived and stood at the town gate to happily welcome the arrival of the imperial prince.

With the real one as a comparison, the fake one appears full of loopholes.

The notice board at the entrance of the town is filled with a list of wanted criminals, accompanied by a series of messy and noisy portraits. Even if the real people were standing in front of you, you might not be able to recognize them.

Fortunately, these extremely evil criminals were physically eliminated by the spider monster in the previous Shaxi Town, and the spider monster was also destroyed by Shen Yao.

There may be new Black Sand Gangs appearing in this place in the future, but that time will definitely be a long time from now. I hope that such a peaceful and harmonious town can last longer.

“Your Highness, this place was built eight years ago. As soon as we learned that the stream had changed its course, we organized the people to relocate collectively.

Now, after several years of restoration, the new Shaxi Town is no different from the original one, and even surpasses it in terms of architecture and personnel placement."

This is his achievement in office. Only with it can he be promoted smoothly and continue to serve as an official in a more prosperous city.

Officials from Shaxi Town have been here for several years. The reason they have persisted here is to earn more political achievements so that they can move to a nice place to enjoy their lives.

Don’t talk about loyalty and serving the country and the people. This does not conflict with reality.

The group stayed at an official post station. Lin Xingzhi still needed to receive officials from Shaxi Town, so he left first, leaving Shen Yao to deal with trivial matters.

"There's no need to report everything to me. Just go down and handle it yourselves."

After waving his hand, he turned around, sat on the couch and exhaled. Shen Yao called upon the system in his mind and asked if there was anything unusual in Shaxi Town.

Strange?

No no!

The system indicated that this was a new city. Although there were many petty thefts, there were only a handful of extremely serious crimes. Perhaps it could be said that the existence of the Black Sand Gang indirectly helped the surrounding cities maintain stability. After all, the leader of the Black Sand Gang had no bottom line and would do anything evil, which led to people who committed crimes to move closer to the Black Sand Gang at the first opportunity.

Most of the criminals listed on the notice board outside Shaxi Town had died in the mouth of the spider monster, and turned into human skins blown away by the wind and buried in the yellow sand.

As long as the news of the Black Sand Gang's demise does not spread, the surrounding cities will be able to maintain peace for one more day.

'This is really a stabilizer,' works better than anything else, automatically dividing people into two directions, those who live a good life stay here, and the rest of the mess leave.

Shen Yao:......

"There are no demons here?" "That's impossible. She had smelled demons when she entered the city."

"Yes, but these monsters are very timid," the system said, and did not forget to play a few videos to prove its conclusion.

"It turns out to be a gerbil," which is quite consistent with the desert's positioning, like an honest monster that is isolated from the world and unpolluted.

They are indeed honest, because all the officials in Shaxi Town know that they are monsters.

They don't make trouble, pay taxes honestly, and do business honestly. They even helped Shaxi Town relocate several times.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

This was the first time during the long tour of the Emperor that he heard praises of a demon from a court official, and this court official enthusiastically facilitated the first meeting between the human and the demon.

Because there is a big monster always by his side, Lin Xingzhi is not afraid of monsters. He is just curious and even a little interested.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true," This monster is really a good monster!

They are cheap, durable and there is no need to worry about rebellion. Nothing can be more suitable for me than them.

"I believe what Lord Yuan said is true. After all, everything in Shaxi Town is obvious to all." With so many buildings, the maintenance alone is a huge expense.

When a gerbil becomes a demon spirit, its own abilities will be enhanced.

Hiring humans requires consideration of their schedule and food, but hiring demons doesn't require so much thought. In some respects, demons are indeed more popular than humans.

Lin Xingzhi finally met the leader of the gerbil clan, a chubby little fat man.

Although he speaks in a cheesy way, we surprisingly get along very well.

Lin Xingzhi rubbed the tip of his nose and controlled the urge to stroke the other person. This little fat guy was like a round rat ball in both height and weight. One could tell from looking at him that this tribe had no shortage of food.

"What do they want?" Shen Yao supported her chin and looked seriously at Lin Xingzhi who was taking off his clothes.

When he came back in the evening, Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but tell his wife what happened that day.

As expected, Shen Yao paid more attention to the group of gerbils. The goblin did things simply but with a purpose, just like the other party couldn't wait to see Lin Xingzhi, and must have something in mind.

"I want to get a public decree from the emperor, acknowledging that they also belong to the people of the Li Kingdom."

Lin Xingzhi changed into his pajamas, walked quickly to Shen Yao and sat down directly. The light and shadow above his head were blocked a lot, and his vision became dim.

Shen Yao raised her eyes and chuckled, "So simple?"

Lin Xingzhi nodded. It was that simple. Other conditions might require careful consideration, but he had the emperor's decree in his hands.

"I have already promised them, but I have to wait for some time to confirm it again." You can't just take what the other party says for granted. This is the significance of the tour on behalf of the emperor.

The following time was spent by Lin Xingzhi and Shen Yao conducting a comprehensive investigation of the entire Shaxi Town.

This is not a traditional outing. This time they have a mission. Except for the two people who are the focus of everyone's attention, all other subordinates and imperial guards were dispersed and investigated by Lin Xingzhi in order to obtain the real data of Shaxi Town.

The system also played a big role in this. After all, its comprehensive monitoring is not like humans who need to rest and eat three meals a day. It can be uninterrupted for a long time. In theory, as long as you watch long enough, no secrets can be hidden.

Facts have proved that Shaxi Town does not have as many landmines as other cities, and even the gossip in Shaxi Town seems fresh and cute.

The gossips in other cities were either about traitors or spies betraying us, or there were stories of monsters eating people or people exploiting monsters, all things that were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Shaxi Town is a simple household ethical issue. Today you eat and I don’t. Tomorrow I eat secretly and don’t let you. The day after tomorrow we will make peace and eat together.

System: ...boring and childish!

The advantage of such an investigation is that the truth shown to them by Shaxi Town is true. Although it also has the problems existing in other cities, its strength lies in its ability to self-correct. Unlike those medium and large cities, the internal forces have long been fundamentally consolidated. If the court wants to control them, it can only destroy them all and reorganize them.

The bright yellow imperial edict was handed to Sha Yi. As the leader of the sand rat clan, Sha Yi had led a large number of rats to work diligently and uncomplainingly in Shaxi Town over the years, just for this edict that clearly recognized them.

With a trembling voice, he thanked Lin Xingzhi, the famous King Jing of the imperial court. Then he opened his mouth and burst into tears like a child, hugging Lord Yuan, looking pitiful and adorable.

Lin Xingzhi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He coughed twice before the man and the demon broke out of their trance. "We will be leaving in two days. I hope you will not forget the court's kindness."

"sure"

"I will keep this in mind"

This may be another place after Xiyun City where Shen Yao can live comfortably and peacefully. After all, there is really nothing to do. Every day, apart from eating, drinking, having fun, she just rests and recuperates. It would be great if the next cities were like this.

"That's impossible. Gerbils don't dare to do anything naughty because they are not good at using force, and they are also timid and afraid of humans."

It wouldn't be so easy for other fairies. Want fairies to serve humans? It's simple. Just defeat these fairies.

Shen Yao sat in the carriage, with Shaxi Town receding behind her. "Those who can defeat the goblins are not ordinary people. The west has always been a place with weak imperial control, and the people here are not as docile as those in the north."

Shaxi Town is an exception, and it can only be an exception. Other cities have no ability to replicate or imitate it.

Sure enough, the situations in the other cities that followed perfectly verified what Shen Yao said.

Whether it was the desolation and brutality of Yanming Town, the emptiness and nothingness of Fengling City, or the greed and indifference of Yudai City, they all surprised Lin Xingzhi and his party.

These places are only dozens of miles away from Shaxi Town, so how could they be so different?

Their days in Shaxi Town seemed like a fleeting dream, disappearing as soon as they woke up.

The first thing to do after returning to reality is to understand the purpose of his tour. Several disciples of the Taoist temple were beaten and tempered over and over again by various demons and monsters. Although they looked quite weak, they made rapid progress in Taoism.

Well

This may be the reason why Taoist Changsheng asked them to leave with the team first. There is no better opportunity to see the world than this.

"I haven't moved my hands and feet for a while, so I'm a little uncomfortable doing it all of a sudden."

In the long dark night, the starry sky is shining brightly. Shen Yao stands in an open space, and the wind and sand blow up the hem of her clothes.

System: ...The last spider demon who was directly lifted up has something to say.

After glancing at the goblin's corpse lying on the ground, the system tacitly kept silent.

Shen Yao pinched her fingers and cast a spell to physically destroy the goblin's corpse. She turned and left while using the desert's unique wind and sand to cover up her traces.

At this time, they had been in the desert for several months and had long been accustomed to living with the yellow sand.

crackling-

The burning firewood made a sound of burning. Shen Yao returned to the camp and just sat down when she heard the system lamenting that several Taoist temple disciples were being beaten and they would be defeated in a few minutes.

"If Taoist Changsheng doesn't come, these people will return to the capital and return to secular life."

The system watched as this group of young Taoist priests suffered repeated setbacks along the way. No matter how kind their character was, they could not stand such hardship.

"Master Changsheng has finished his work in Qixing City. If he gets here, it shouldn't be long."

After all, Taoist Changsheng is a master of Taoism. Unlike them who have to consider various things when they are in a hurry, Taoist Changsheng only needs to locate accurately and reach the destination in one step.

The system said that this was correct, but who knew they were still in the desert?

As everyone knows, it is very difficult to accurately locate in the desert. This is the first time for Taoist Changsheng to come here, and it seems... it is not easy.

Shen Yao said, "What should we do? Just wait."

They had been able to endure all the hardships before, so how could they give up when victory was in sight? As for the mentality of the Taoist temple disciples, that was something that the Taoist temple and Taoist Changsheng needed to resolve. Shen Yao only had to ensure that the Taoist temple disciples were still alive and well before Taoist Changsheng arrived.

The disciples of the Taoist temple were indeed quite lively, but this was not a sign of happiness. Instead, they had to jump because they were being chased and beaten by the monsters.

These people have also witnessed the dangers of society. What kind of life did they lead in the capital before? What kind of life do they lead here now?

Grandmaster, please come and save our disciples who are in dire straits.

"Humph! You've really brought shame upon our Taoist temple. How did you learn Taoism in the first place?"

After Taoist Changsheng met up with Lin Xingzhi and his group, he didn't even have time to rest before running to several Taoist temple disciples and scolding them.

He was truly ashamed to face his fellow masters. After training for so long, how could he still be so useless?!

Several Taoist temple disciples: ...

If you don’t know how to do it, practice more!

The arrival of Taoist Priest Changsheng made the lives of several Taoist temple disciples worse than death.

Normally, Shen Yao would turn a blind eye to whatever they said, not arguing too much with them. But Taoist Changsheng was different. He wanted to fill their heads with Taoist knowledge, turn a mediocre person into a genius, and bring more hope to the Taoist temple.

Unfortunately, this is just a delusion of Taoist Changsheng. He is not cut out for it, and no matter how he tries to persuade him, it will be useless. Fortunately, Taoist Changsheng is not without any consolation. There is still Lin Shengjing, who is already three years old. Taoist Changsheng is betting everything on this.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao looked at Lin Shengjing, who had officially entered the Taoist sect and was learning Taoism with Taoist Priest Changsheng, and at several Taoist temple disciples not far away who were being scolded like grandsons by Taoist Priest Changsheng, a sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.

It's not that I think it's ridiculous for my daughter to have such an important task, nor do I think it's ridiculous for Taoist Changsheng to do this. I just think that with such a huge contrast, it's no wonder that the word "genius" is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Lin Shengjing's talent and understanding allowed her to perfectly understand and even master any Taoist method taught to her by Taoist Changsheng. However, it was different for several other disciples of the Taoist temple. Even after repeated practice and continuous improvement, they were still not very proficient in using it.

When the Taoist temple disciples could not bear this disparity and asked to leave, Taoist Master Changsheng rarely scolded them. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then had a long chat with them. Immediately afterwards, the pressure on them suddenly eased, and the poor Taoist temple disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the journey to the west was drawing to a close, the group emerged from the desert and unexpectedly met an acquaintance from the capital on the way.

"Master Enku"

A senior monk of Huangjue Temple, his status and ability are second only to the abbot.
