"Why do you still need to register?" Mu Qingxue's face turned even paler.

She has been coming to Dream World every day for four years and has never asked to register.

Why do I need to register when I come with my cousin today?

"It's okay, just register as soon as you register." Jiang Yao knew something about it, but was looking forward to it.

As soon as he arrived, a strange phenomenon occurred in the temple, and the entire Baolian Kingdom did not know the bad luck. Does that mean that his arrival has triggered the induction of the magic weapon?

As the registration order was issued, groups of armored soldiers began to appear in the city, patrolling pedestrians.

"From today onwards, any new comers must register at the city guard's office!" the soldier shouted, "new comers please take the initiative to abide by the laws of our country and don't make things difficult for us!"

"My colleagues, please don't panic. It's nothing serious and the sky won't fall."

Jiang Yao could see that the order in the city was extremely orderly. Even these hard-wearing soldiers were very disciplined and their words were polite.

The faces of the people in the city were rosy, and there was a radiance like the moonlight, with a sense of brightness and holiness. It was as if they were bathed in light.

Some people have horns on their heads, some have tails, and some have scales on their bodies. But most of them are still the same as humans.

The streets and alleys are lively and peaceful.

It can be seen that this is a very civilized place, and I don't know how big it is.

It is very similar to the city under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and is much better than the city under the rule of the Wu clan.

It's like a scene from the peaceful and prosperous period of Chinese feudal society, but it also contains fantasy that didn't exist in ancient China, such as talking birds and people with horns.

No wonder Qingxue, who was only two years old before, was able to survive to the age of six by begging here and still be safe.

If she were under the rule of the Wu clan, she would have almost no chance of survival.

"Cousin, where is the city guard's office? Come with me." Mu Qingxue held Jiang Yao in her little hand and walked forward with her short legs.

The dog follows behind.

Along the way, Jiang Yao and Xiao Hei attracted the attention of many men, women and children.

"What an impressive big black dog, I'm afraid it's worth several lotus seeds."

"This dog is so extraordinary. Look at the black fur... tsk tsk."

"This boy is so handsome, my heart melts when I see him."

"Not only is he good-looking, but his demeanor seems to have a lot of origins."

"Hey, this young man is so noble."

When Mu Qingxue heard these words, she couldn't help but giggle.

A woman with a long tail shouted: "Little girl, is this your brother?"

Mu Qingxue's little head shook like a rattle, "No, no! He is my uncle, I will take him to register."

Another woman smiled and said: "Uncle, come back and sit in my shop..."

Another person said: "Girl Mu, you still have such an uncle..."

There was also an old man who stared at the dog guard, suddenly slapped Jiang Yao, and said proudly:

"Brother, are you selling this big black dog? I'll give you eight lotus seeds!"

Scared! Even Mu Qingxue couldn't help but look at Xiao Hei again.

Eight lotus seeds, that’s a lot of money! Although my cousin’s dog is extraordinary, is it worth eight lotus seeds?

One lotus seed can be exchanged for a hundred inches of lotus leaves. After four years, I only saved a dozen inches of lotus leaves.

"I'm sorry, I won't sell it." Jiang Yao smiled and cupped his hands, and walked over without stopping.

The dog guard was so angry that he turned around and glared at those who wanted to buy it.

Do you know my identity?

How dare you buy me?

Even if I am sold, it cannot be measured by eight lotus seeds, right?

Those people were stared at by the dog, and they were even more amazed.

"Ha." Mu Qingxue couldn't help but pat Xiao Hei.

"Dog, don't be angry. Someone wanted to buy me before. They offered me ten lotus seeds. For so much money, they even offered to buy me as their daughter. I was not willing to do it."

Xiao Hei is even more depressed. Are you worth two lotus seeds more than me?

Jiang Yao nodded secretly when he heard this.

Yes, it is indeed the light wonderland of the light artifact, but it is different.

Mu Qingxue is a helpless little beggar, but she can still survive here. Others want to buy him as their daughter, but she is unwilling, and others do not force her.

There is a charity home for orphans and widows here. Mu Qingxue just didn't want to go, so she begged freely. The government did not force her to take her in.

She is so cute, she comes here every day, and she has not been trafficked or abused.

On the contrary, there are hundreds of families to eat.

It can be seen that this society is indeed called bright.

Two people and one dog came to the Chengshu Yamen. They saw that the Chengshu Yamen was not tall, but it was very solemn.

He entered the city guard yamen without any difficulty and was taken directly to Hu Cao to sign and hold a room.

The clerk and clerk of that household, Cao, were also kind. After letting Jiang Yao sit down, they started to register.

"Whose name is your Excellency? I wonder why you came to our country?" The clerk opened the registration book and asked with a pen.

He saw Mu Qingxue smiling slightly, obviously knowing this little beggar.

Jiang Yao replied: "I am in Mu Longcheng. He is Mu Qingxue's uncle. He came to your country to travel."

The clerk was asking: "So it's Mr. Mu. Does he have a place to stay here? This place must be registered as well."

Having said this, he glanced at Mu Qingxue again. He knew that Mu Qingxue was just a beggar and had no place to live in this city.

As he spoke, he wrote in a flurry of notes:

"Mu Longcheng, about eight feet tall, about ten years old, with a face like a crown of jade, a rhinoceros forehead and pointed eyebrows, a clear voice, Mei Fengyi, Mu Qingxue's uncle, lives in..."

After writing about my residence, I stopped writing and looked at Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao shook his head, "I'm here for the first time, and I don't have a place to stay. May I ask the officials if there is an inn in Guibao?"

The clerk said with a smile: "Of course there are, inns, hotels, and private houses. You can stay there, as long as you pay."

His attitude was much better than that of the staff on Earth that Jiang Yao was familiar with.

Jiang Yao pondered and said: "The officials are laughing at this, but I know that your country uses lotus seeds and lotus leaves as coins, but I don't have such things."

"That means I have no money for the time being." The clerk said with a warm smile, "It doesn't matter. It's no problem in my country, Baolian. In the past, I was free to come and go, and there was no need to register."

"If you don't have lotus seeds and lotus leaves, you can temporarily live in the temple residence and be a layperson for the Lotus Lantern Queen. That is a residence provided free of charge by our Baolian Kingdom for guests and homeless people."

"If Mr. Mu has no place to live, he can stay in the temple temporarily."

Jiang Yao said happily: "As expected, I'd like to thank the officials."

The clerk continued to write down "Residence Yuanye City Temple Residence" and said with a smile:

"Mr. Mu, there is no need to thank me. This is the merit of the Lotus Lantern Queen. As long as you often go to the Queen's statue to clean the dust and burn incense and worship, you will be considered as thanking the Queen."

After saying that, he wrote a note and stamped it with a seal, "Mr. Mu went to the Temple Residence. You can move in with this document."

Jiang Yao stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."

The uncle and nephew left the city to guard the Yamen, and Mu Qingxue took the ginger medicine and went straight to the temple of the Lotus Deng Empress.

The Niangniang Temple is in the north of the city, and the surrounding area is very lively. There are many people visiting the temple fair, and there is an endless stream of people entering the temple to burn incense.

On the stone pillars of the archway in front of the temple, there is a couplet carved in stone, but it reads:

"The sky is vast and the treasures are bright, and the destiny is dim and bright."

The horizontal couplet at the top is another four characters: "The way of heaven is bright."

Emperor Ming Jiang Yao was very happy when he saw this couplet. Of course, this was something he liked to hear and see.

But after entering this building sign and seeing the second couplet, Jiang Yao's expression condensed again. Why do you think it was? It turns out that when King Ming saw the second couplet, he said:

"It's dark and dark, and the ghost world is cold."

The horizontal comment is: "The long night is like a tomb."

This couplet is very ominous and has a warning meaning. Especially in Jiang Yao's view, it feels very uncomfortable.

The artistic conception of this couplet is exactly the opposite to that of the previous one, but it appears in front of the temple of the Lotus Lamp Lady, the God of Light. It seems incredible and extremely inappropriate.

But Jiang Yao knew that this was very suitable.

Because light and darkness are like yin and yang.

Where there is darkness, there is light, and where there is light, there is darkness. The two should not be completely opposite. The key lies in whether light is the master or darkness is the master.
