Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

The matter in Yucheng is over, but the follow-up processing is a very troublesome matter.

No city could afford to lose at least four-fifths of its population at once.

The economy is stagnant and administrative management is difficult. The entire city seems to have stopped functioning, and the surviving people are living in confusion.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about food. After all, so many people have died, and there is enough food left.

At this time, in the Expulsion Division, Qingyue, who was temporarily acting as the city lord, was busy with government affairs.

The city system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was more similar to the feudal system.

Because of the inconvenience of information transmission and personnel circulation, except for the areas close to the capital, other cities are more autonomously managed by the capital after the city owner is determined.

Of course, this kind of autonomy also has limitations. In the general direction, it still has to be in line with the capital.

Since Zhuchengchi is autonomous, there will naturally be corresponding supervisors.

Mu Xin is one of them.

If something goes wrong in the city, as long as he calls for help in time, as a saint, Mu Xin can still handle it.

But it's a pity that the person causing trouble this time is the city's most powerful person, the city lord.

But even so, Mu Xin's responsibility for dereliction of duty is unavoidable.

Therefore, when the above news came down, Qingyue was asked to return to the position of director of the Exorcism Department, and at the same time, he temporarily took over the position of city lord.

As for Mu Xin, just concentrate on dealing with Weirdness.

But if this happens, Qingyue will suffer.

She was originally injured, so she had to be responsible for the defense of the Exorcist Division, and she also had to deal with the post-disaster reconstruction tasks of Yucheng.

Under such a heavy burden, she even borrowed the Yuehua Pond from the Taoist Temple and placed it in the Exorcist Division so that she could cultivate at any time.

"What's the status of the eviction order?"

After finishing a matter and stamping her seal, she asked the adjutant waiting by the side.

Yucheng lost so much of its population at once, so it naturally needed to be replenished.

Otherwise, there would not even be enough personnel to maintain order and protect the city on a daily basis.

When the time comes, once Mu Xin leaves, this city will probably perish.

In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there had already been similar methods for this.

Relocation order.

The population of Yucheng was replenished by migrating people from other cities or villages into Yucheng.

In this way, although it cannot bring Yucheng back to prosperity, it can at least give it a breath of relief.

It's just that you didn't issue the eviction order and others will come.

After all, population is still a problem in this world.

There are too many casualties every day. If Dazhou hadn't actively encouraged and even legislated to support childbirth, and with the presence of practitioners, the child mortality rate has been greatly reduced, Dazhou would have become empty long ago, with only some practitioners left.

Therefore, when facing the relocation order, most cities are unwilling to do so. At most, they will send some old, weak, sick and disabled people over under the request from above.

As for villages and towns, we must first understand that the villages and towns near the city are not just the cities that cannot accommodate them, so they are placed in the villages and towns.

But because these villages and towns are like the eyes of the city.

Only where these eyes can see can be regarded as the territory controlled by the city.

These are indispensable.

Therefore, in the face of the relocation order, at most some villages close to the city could move to Yucheng, but many more could only stick to one place and continue to thrive.

This is the case in Niuben Village.

The adjutant is a middle-aged woman, but she is just an ordinary person. Because she has been staying in the Exorcist Division, she was saved by the old gatekeeper.

Faced with Qingyue's question, she answered calmly.

"At present, only six cities around Yucheng have responded, and the total number of people is only 12,000. Currently, 6,000 people are on the way."

"There are only five villages around Yucheng that are suitable for migration into Yucheng, with a total population of about 11,000 people. We are currently arranging people to migrate."

"Only 20,000 people?"

Qingyue rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

She would rather face the weirdness than deal with these government affairs.

These things are easy to say if done well, but if they are not done well, the problems caused will be beyond words.

And just when she was troubled, someone knocked on the door again.

Although she sighed helplessly, she still braced herself and spoke.

"Come in."

A man in a blue and black uniform came in, holding several files.

"Director, these are the files recently sent from the market."

For ordinary weird files, there is no need to show them to her.

What can be sent to her is usually something special or powerful.

Of course, some important things that happened in the market also had to be brought to her for her to pass.

Qingyue took it, flipped through it, and asked casually.

"The deputy director is still outside?"

The visitor replied respectfully.

"The deputy director has already announced that he is coming back, and he is almost at the market now."

"Well, he's back. We must not let him leave again this time. There are so many things to do, and he has enough leisure. We need to keep him busy."

"Yes."

"Then you go..."

Qingyue just wanted him to leave, but then she suddenly saw a name——

Gu Xing.

This familiar name made her stunned for a moment, and she looked a little dazed.

In her opinion, Gu Xing should have died in that disaster.

After all, according to people in the Taoist Academy, Gu Xingxing fought to the death with evil monsters in order to save them. In the end, he fell into madness at all costs and even swallowed the flesh and blood of monsters in his madness.

Although his body was not found, under such circumstances, how could Gu Xing, who had just broken through the foundation building, survive?

What's more, the "mark" she left on Gu Xing also disappeared.

And with Gu Xing's strength, he could not erase that "mark" unless he died.

Therefore, when she saw this name, she subconsciously thought it was a duplicate name.

But she also had some hope.

What if?

What if it’s really Gu Xing?

But she didn't act like a little girl, feeling unstable and trembling in her hands when faced with this kind of thing.

She just turned the page naturally and continued reading.

In addition to the wanted order, there is also information about Gu Xing later.

"Gu Xing, seventh-level foundation builder, disciple of the outer courtyard of Taoist Academy, temporary member of the Exorcist Division..."

It turns out he is really alive...

Seeing this, the corners of Qingyue's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and the fatigue of these days seemed to have dissipated in an instant.

But soon, her expression became solemn again.

Gu Xing was still alive, but he did not return to the Taoist Academy. He remembered what the disciples of the Taoist Academy said about Gu Xing eating strange flesh and blood in the end.

Then, he must have known that after eating strange flesh and blood, he would turn into a strange person, so he chose to escape Yucheng.

But facing the strange problem, Qingyue had no choice.

The strange transformation is irreversible, but fortunately, with Gu Xing's talent, he should be able to endure it for a long time.

And with Gu Xing's character, he will definitely actively look for solutions next.

He was never one to sit back and wait.

And the place where you're most likely to find a solution to the weird problem is...

Thinking of this, Qingyue also made a decision.

Then she raised her head and gave instructions to the person who had not left yet.

"Send a message to Qingqiu and ask her to send a map to Xuanluo Valley to Gu Xing in this 'faceless' incident."

"Well, on a personal note."
