My magic weapons are all rule-based

The next morning, the sky was bright.

With Xu Shan's current mental state, he naturally didn't need to sleep.

He spent the whole night regulating his breathing to restore his soul.

He had never paid attention to this aspect before, and he didn't have all the pills for restoring his soul.

He could only rely on himself to take care of himself.

In addition, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. The blood pill he took last night was effective.

Zhang Laosan was thirsty in the middle of the night, so he came out to get two bowls of water.

As a result, he spent the whole night planting trees.

The old lady screamed and screamed, and it was like a Chinese music concert. No one could sleep.

Xu Shan spent the whole night sitting cross-legged in meditation, observing the state of his body and mind.

Until Zhang Laosan walked into the room with a refreshed spirit.

He held a bowl of steamed buns in his hand.

"Young man, it's time to eat."

Xu Shan opened his eyes, smiled and gestured, and stood up to take the bowl of rice.

"Old man, I'm going to go out for a walk. Do you have time?"

Zhang Laosan was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Yes! It just so happens that I have time these days."

Xu Shan nodded: "What do you do for a living?"

Zhang Laosan said: "Nothing, I help people look after the shop. It just so happens that the shop is closed these days, so I don't have to go there."

"Young man, there is a big happy event in our Menghu City now. I will take you out to see it. Don't ask too much, you will know when you go!"

Xu Shan nodded and continued to eat buns.

After breakfast, Zhang Laosan took him out of the alley.

After a while, they were already on the street.

When he first entered the city, he came in a hurry and was anxious in his heart. He didn't have time to look more.

The scene in the town at the moment surprised Xu Shan.

The streets were crowded with people, wearing colorful clothes, talking and laughing.

Merchants set up stalls on both sides of the street and sold various goods. There were vendors selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silk embroidery, cakes and candies, and lanterns and toys.

The shouts of merchants rose and fell, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

In short, it was a prosperous scene.

It was not much different from the towns governed by Tianxiahui.

But the reason why the towns governed by Tianxiahui were so successful and allowed mortals to live a good life was that they relied on many cultivators to provide resources and support.

Xu Shan was quite suspicious.

I didn't expect that the Lord of Menghu was also a genius in governance. Could it be that he was also using this method to maintain the operation of the city?

Seeing Xu Shan's surprised expression, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but look proud.

"Young man, how is this place compared to Tieling?"

"Very good, I have never seen such a good place! The city lord must be a capable person, right?"

"Capable person? That's the immortal master!" Zhang Laosan couldn't help but straighten his chest, "How could our Menghu City be what it is today without the blessing of the lake god and the immortal master?"

"Whatever we plant here grows, we don't have to worry about food or clothing."

Xu Shan understood.

As expected, this place can only develop like this with the support of cultivators.

According to the disorder in southern Xinjiang, if mortals are not targeted by others, they live in tribes.

It is difficult to form a large-scale fixed residence.

I don't know what strength the city lord has...

The two continued to walk forward, and they didn't know how long it took to reach the center of the town.

A huge statue rose from the ground, surrounded by incense and smoke.

Many mortals were burning incense and kneeling, and the statue was a young man standing tall.

Looking at his handsome face, his expression was sacred.

Not far behind the statue, there is a special hall, which is probably also a place to worship the statue.

At this moment, many people are gathered outside the hall, and no one knows what they are doing.

Zhang Laosan took the initiative to speak, looking up at the statue: "Look! That's the Lake God, the root of our Dream Lake City."

"Does the Lake God have a name?"

"The Lake God is the Lake God, how can he have a name? Even if he has a name, he can't call it." Zhang Laosan admired, "Young man, go and burn incense, I will take you to the Lake God Temple to have a look, there will be great things!"

Xu Shan didn't say much, walked straight to the Lake God statue, looked up and looked.

Released his spiritual sense to investigate, and a faint aura was emanating from it.

This statue is unusual, it should have some function...

After watching for a while, Xu Shan casually took a stick of incense from the altar beside him and lit it.

Seeing that he had finished burning incense, Zhang Laosan hurriedly pulled him to the hall.

"Come on, let's see if you can get a good start today."

Xu Shan followed Zhang Laosan without saying a word.

The Lake God Temple, the door was wide open, and from the outside it was filled with Lake God statues.

And outside the temple, people were drawing lots.

A man who looked like an official was sitting behind a big table recording.

Xu Shan observed carefully.

The people who drew lots were very different from the people on the street. Most of them were relatively young, around 20 years old.

After each lot was drawn, some people were disappointed, some were secretly happy, and their expressions were different, which looked quite strange.

But at this time, Zhang Laosan pulled him, pushed through the crowd and walked to the big table.

Looking at the official behind the table, he flattered: "Sir, I have a relative... Can I have a word with you?"

As he said, he pointed his hand slightly at Xu Shan.

The official raised his eyes and saw Xu Shansheng's tall and strong body, and his eyes lit up!

He stood up and pulled Zhang Laosan to the side: "Zhang Laosan, you have this relative? Why don't I know?"

"He's a taciturn man who doesn't like to go out... Can he draw a lot? He's much more suitable than my daughter. My daughter is weak and can't serve the Lake God. You see, the Lake God will be happy to see him!" Zhang Laosan said, and took out a silver ingot and quietly put it into the official's sleeve.

The official sneered: "Is he from another place? He is so tall, how could I not know him? What relative, you still want to deceive me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Laosan gritted his teeth and took out another silver ingot.

"Nothing can be hidden from the adults. I picked up this man and saved his life!"

The official put away the silver, pursed his lips slightly, and waved his hands twice in private: "Humph, you are lucky... Get out."

"Hey!" Zhang Laosan smiled brightly and hurriedly retreated to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan's expression was indifferent, waiting for Zhang Laosan to continue to fool him.

"Young man, let me tell you what this is for. Our Dream Lake City holds a festival every year, and the whole city will gather here to celebrate the miracles of the Lake God! In addition, one hundred men and women will be selected to serve the Lake God in person. How many people want this opportunity..." Zhang Laosan kept talking.

Xu Shan just listened quietly, and when he finished, he asked: "I am an outsider, this is not good, right? Besides, serving the Lake God is good, but I still want to go home."

"Oh, you want to serve the Lake God forever? You will be back in a month. If you perform well, the Lake God may give you some benefits." Zhang Laosan said mysteriously, "You go up and try, outsiders may also be able to do it, it depends on luck!"

"If I were 20 years younger, I would go up myself, but unfortunately the Lake God doesn't like older people."

Xu Shan nodded in agreement and walked quickly to the big table.

The official looked at him with a smile and pushed a lottery tube over.

"Draw a lot."

Xu Shan directly drew a bamboo stick.

Before he could read the words carefully, the official stood up and shook Xu Shan's hands with an extremely excited expression.

"Congratulations, young man, you have been selected!"
