There are two mighty stone lions sitting in front of the county government office. On the surface, they are just ordinary stone statues. In fact, the stone lions have been nourished by official aura and have their own supernatural powers.

When monsters and ghosts dare to offend the county government, the spirit of the stone lion will awaken and turn into a divine beast that suppresses the government to fight against external evils.

In his previous life, when he passed the imperial examination, he was invited by the county magistrate to meet in the yamen. He learned from the county magistrate that there were official gods patrolling the yamen agencies at all levels.

He was an official during his lifetime and became a god after his death. This is another ironclad proof that the imperial examination is called the Great Way to Heaven.

If you are unable to become a Jinshi on the Second Ranking and be registered in the Heavenly Register, those who are loyal to the country and have made great contributions can be granted the title of a god by the imperial court after their death.

Here Zhou Bai again thought of the Dazhen Dynasty in another world. The court there had always suppressed the gods and had few official titles. This should be to prevent the division and loss of luck.

Unlike the humane dynasty in the main world, where the destiny is as vast as the abyss, the depletion of the imperial edicts means granting a few more official positions.

Without cultivation, even if Zhou Bai has recovered his spirit, he still dare not pry into the fate of a county.

He doesn't dare to act recklessly now. Zhou Zhai is already frightened by the investigation of his origin. He must not act recklessly when observing one party's forces.

As for observing people, if you are an introductory person to the art of aura reading, it is enough to take a look at an ordinary person or a solitary official. People like the county magistrate will suffer backlash even from a distance.

After he learned to read Qi, he became much more sensitive to Qi luck. At this time, while walking in the county government office, he felt trapped in quicksand.

Any official will have the fate of the court to look after him, and offenders will be suppressed immediately.

Strict, oppressive, coercive...all kinds of feelings rushed towards him. Zhou Bai knew that it was largely caused by the oppression of luck, but others only felt that the imperial court should not be lightly insulted, and the impression of orthodoxy was left in their hearts.

Zhou Rui, who was originally lively and talkative, said nothing and followed the guard slowly and cautiously.

The lobby is in the middle, with the six offices of the Yamen on both sides. After walking a hundred meters along the corridor in front of the lobby, Zhou Bai followed to the east, and then arrived at the ceremonial room of the County Magistrate's Yamen, and on the west side is the Chief Registrar's Yamen.

Just as there was a long queue outside to call out names, there were also about ten people in front of the ceremony room. The servant only waited for one person from the room to come out, and immediately led Zhou Bai and two people to jump in.

The registration for the heirs of the county magnate family will be tomorrow, so the Zhou family's weight today is naturally quite important. This is the reputation of the Zhou family, and it is also due to the small amount of money Zhou Rui secretly stuffed.

Walking into the ceremony room, a row of scribes and two Taoists were sitting behind the public case, all looking at the two of them.

Zhou Bai did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went forward with Zhou Rui to submit the insurance policy and answer the personal information.

When registering for the county examination, three pieces of information will be checked. In addition to signing and acknowledging the insurance policy, personal information must be answered in person, which is called a personal confession.

The first official took the insurance policy and immediately distributed it to the others. Then he raised his hands to the Taoist priests on both sides and said, "Please prepare for inspection, Taoist official."

"Zhou Ruilu personally confessed, he was fifteen years old... Zhou Bailu personally confessed, he was fifteen years old, his native place was Hongni Township, Pingcang County, Bei'an County, and he was born in the seventh room of the Zhou family of the township clan..."

The official's face, which was originally serious, suddenly became much gentler when he heard that the two men were from the direct lineage of the Zhou family.

"If your confession is correct, please ask Mr. Zhou to press your fingerprints."

Zhou Bai checked the personal confession information recorded by the officials, and then signed and sealed it.

Finally, the clerk took the insurance policy document to the Taoist official next to him and said with some respect: "If the Taoist official has verified that it is correct, please stamp it with the Taoist official seal."

At this time, the mutual contracts and insurance policies had been reviewed by various officials. A Taoist official took Zhou Bai's three insurance policies, pinched out the decree with one hand, and muttered something silently.

The imperial examination is the most important matter of the country. Even the most basic county examination, starting from checking the candidates' information, there are imperial yamen, Taoist officials, and gods jointly checking it.

The higher the level of the imperial examination, the more important the talents selected, and the stronger the control force.

When it comes to the general examination and the first level of the palace examination, the heavenly official will personally come to pay attention. It is not a bad idea for those who perform well to be admitted to the heavenly palace.

Zhou Bai had memories of his past life and knew that this Taoist official was communicating with the gods. His own Taoist methods could not detect the error, but he still needed to be confirmed by the gods.

The efficiency of the gods was still very high, and soon the Taoist official said loudly: "The city god inspected, Zhou Rui, Zhou Bai has not deceived or made any lies, Xu Qian Taoist seal."

There was no magical magic, just a small copper seal was removed from the waist, and then stamped on the three pages of the policy.

It was the first time Zhou Rui saw a Taoist official. He had a hairpin, a crown, and a blue Taoist robe, and he looked out of the world.

The average person is naturally very awed, and even more horrified by the performance of the god talking about communicating with the gods just now.

However, after a set of procedures, no spells were seen, and Zhou Rui's eyes couldn't help but look a little weird.

Shouldn't the official seal be hanging in the air with just a finger? The Taoist officials seem to be no different from ordinary people like them?

This sealing Taoist official looks very young. Even though he has learned Taoism and has good looks, he is actually not more than thirty years old. He usually spends his time in the mountains practicing Buddhism, and he is not very sophisticated in people's ways.

He didn't have a good look on the fat man who was staring blankly at him. He just flicked his sleeves to "see off the guests".

These mortals are really rude. If you are from the Xiang clan, you are from the Xiang clan. If you are the direct descendants of the county magnates, you will definitely know the difficulties of these Taoist officials.

This is an important place for government offices and the hub of the court's legal network. How can you cast spells at will?

If he hadn't been summoned by the imperial court and received the Taoist seal, he wouldn't have even taken a step forward from the county government gate.

Zhou Bai knew the reason for the young Taoist official's shame and anger, and immediately pulled Zhou Rui to apologize: "My clan brother has a shallow vision, is not good at studies, and has not studied the Taoist scriptures. How can I know that teaching first and then Dharma and first Dharma and then Tao are the righteous ways in the world?"

, please forgive him for being rude."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that they spoke to the Taoist official's heart. Not only did the young Taoist official's face become much gentler, but even the old Taoist official on the other side smiled at Zhou Bai.

The atmosphere has relaxed a little, and the young Taoist officials no longer chase people away. The officials are all good people and they have to complete the process quickly.

Neither the Taoist officials nor the Zhou family could be offended by their little civil servants.

An official put the two-person insurance policy into a mahogany tray and walked to the back hall. An official came forward with two wooden number plates.

"The insurance policies of the two Mr. Zhou will be sent to the county magistrate for stamping soon. This is your admission number plate. Please refer to it on time the day after tomorrow. The county office will prepare lunch on the day of the county examination." The official said carefully.

, the two of them nodded again and again.

Zhou Bai bowed his hands and said, "Thank you very much. We won't delay the adults and continue to run their errands. Let's take our leave first."

Of course, before leaving, Zhou Bai still took Zhou Rui to confess his sins to the Taoist official again and bowed before saying goodbye.

The two Taoist officials' favorability towards Zhou Bai increased rapidly. The young Taoist official spoke several times and wanted to speak, but it seemed that due to the occasion and status, he could only watch them leave.
