"The amulet from Wanxiang Mountain is not easy to find. You need to fast and chant Buddha in the temple for seven days and seven nights."
"Ah? We still have to wait seven days and seven nights?" Yan Yan said dejectedly.
The seven days and seven nights in the human world were enough for Xu Niang to increase her cultivation in the underworld. She originally became a ghost servant after her death before her soul could even be condensed and stabilized. If her cultivation could not keep up, she would be restricted in what she could do in the underworld. .
"What do you want to do with the consort?"
"To be honest, I met the prince-in-law before, oh no, I met his former wife." Yan Yu said, "His former wife was a close friend of mine. My friend once told me that her husband was dead. She has been a widow for several years, and now I meet her husband-in-law here, how could I not ask her!"
"Are you sure you recognize him clearly? Why don't you ask your good friend to confess." Shen Beizhu said solemnly, "Then this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Yan Yan sneered, "My good friend just died a few days ago."
"Since all your friends are dead, let's forget about it..."
"What did you say?!" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "Say it again? My good friend is dead, but that doesn't mean that person is not a liar. He can hide something now, who knows? What kind of big things are hidden behind this? When the time comes when you, Prince Shen’s Mansion, get angry, don’t blame me for not reminding you."
"Auntie Xingxing, for the sake of the two of us getting to know each other, don't make any noise about this matter until we have investigated it clearly." Shen Beizhu, a dignified heir apparent, is like a quail in front of Yan Yan.
Even Shen Beizhu wondered why he was like this. Even if he had seen how terrifying Yan Yan was, there was no need to be so groveling.
"I originally planned to investigate on my own, but you insist on asking. Count how many times you have asked me from yesterday to now."
"Yes, yes, aunt, it's my fault."

"Third brother went to Wanxiang Mountain?"
In the residence of the second lady of Prince Shen's Mansion, Princess Jiamin was sitting aside drinking tea. When she heard the contents of the maid's report, she paused holding the tea cup.
"Why did Prince Shen go to Wanxiang Mountain?" Jiamin looked at Shen Nanhua, "Didn't you hear any news?"
"Have I not been with you, princess, these past few days?"
As he said this, he saw that the maid who had come to deliver the report was hesitant to speak.
"Look at how petty you are. Don't you know what to say and what not to say? Are you hesitating and waiting for me to ask you in person?"
After Yan Yan came to Prince Shen's Mansion, she and Princess Jiamin were no longer in the good mood to have fun.
Grandma glared at the maid and scolded, "Hurry up and say it!"
The maid glanced at her grandma and quickly lowered her head, "On the way back, slave, I seemed to have heard that the girl came to the house again."
"What?!"
"That's it." Princess Jiamin squinted her eyes, "She went to find her consort."
Shen Nanhua was really mad at her third brother.
Knowing that Princess Jiamin had a good relationship with her, she took other women to find the consort.
Is this an attempt to harm the entire Prince Shen's Mansion?
"Prepare the sedan." Jiamin placed the tea cup firmly on the table, "I want to see what these two people can do."
"Is Wanxiang Mountain too high? Do you still have to walk up the steps?" Yan Yan put his hands on his forehead to make the shape of an eave. When he looked up, he could only see the steps.
"This Wanxiang Mountain actually has 10,000 steps." Shen Beizhu said, "Wanxiang Mountain is not too high, but the steps go up around the mountain."
"Ten thousand steps?" Yan Yan laughed angrily, "Let me tell you first, I won't carry you if you can't walk halfway."
It wasn't that she was tired. She could walk up and down the ten thousand stairs more than a dozen times without feeling tired. She just found it troublesome and couldn't just float up. She just took one step at a time, and it was already dark when she climbed up.
The most important thing is that a living person like Shen Beizhu would probably lose his legs if he climbed up.
"We don't have to go to the top of the mountain, just go to the Sanqian Hall on the 3,000th floor. If you are afraid of getting tired, there will be a manpower sedan to carry you up." Shen Beizhu pointed to the group of strong men at the foot of the mountain.
"There is also a sky sedan for going down the mountain."
Yan Yan looked up.
There are several wrist-thick threads made of black iron connected from Wanxiang Mountain, and a sedan body is hung on the threads.
"I want to sit on that one!" Yan Yan pointed at the sky sedan with bright eyes.
"Okay, let's sit down when we get down the mountain."
"No, I want to try it now." Yan Yan watched infatuatedly as a sedan flew down from the mountain.
"Now..." Shen Beizhu pinched his brows in confusion, "We can't fly up."
"I'll take you up."
"What...ah——"
Shen Beizhu felt a hand on his shoulder, and then he flew up.
Even if the soul is still where it is, it cannot catch up.
When his feet landed on the ground, if he hadn't been practicing martial arts, his legs would be weak and he would be lying on the ground.
"Hurry up, there's exactly one left."
Before the person could stand still, he was pulled by Yan Yan to the side of the sedan chair. Before he could even see the sedan chair clearly, the person was stuffed into the sedan chair again.
The sky sedan is not as comfortable as the Shen family sedan, but it feels very novel.
There is an iron lock on the sedan door. The iron lock is locked when you are on the mountain. Only people at the bottom of the mountain have the key.
There are only two small windows left in the entire sky sedan. There are no sedan curtains on the windows, only two small doors that look like cabinet doors.
Shen Beizhu was restless in the sedan chair. When the sedan chair started to move, he held on to the sedan wall tightly. However, he felt even more panicked as he held on to the sedan chair wall, so he had no choice but to hold Yan Yan's arm.
Yan Yan's arm could be held with one hand, and it was so slender that it felt like it could break with just a little force, but it was like a centering needle that calmed Shen Beizhu's heart.
"No wonder there are so few people riding in this sedan chair." Shen Beizhu glanced out the window, "It's hard to get out of breath in this small place."
"That's right, I thought the two of us could hold it together!" Yan Yan said disappointedly.
Shen Beizhu had a bad premonition, "One for each person? This one is enough for two people."
"But I want to open the sedan door." Yan Yan pouted, "You also said that the sedan is almost like a coffin today. We can open the sedan door to get some ventilation."
When did he say that the sedan chair looks like a coffin?
"The iron lock is outside, how do you open it?" After asking, Shen Beizhu regretted it.
Sure enough, Yan Yan opened the sedan door in the next moment.
"Look, isn't it now open?"
Indeed, with Yan Yan's ability, there is nothing she can't do. If she had known it earlier, she would not have asked, but now she can give Yan Yan a chance to show off.
Shen Beizhu wanted to slap himself twice in frustration.
Hundreds of feet high in the air, the wind blew in and made his face hurt. He couldn't feel the joy of Yan Yan, and only found it difficult to open his eyes.
Fortunately, the panic of being locked in a coffin is gone.
Yan Yan stood in front of Shen Beizhu and blocked some of the wind knives for him. A few strands of his snow-white hair drifted towards Shen Beizhu's face.
Looking at the back in front of him, Shen Beizhu felt warm in his heart.
"Miss Yan, you look like my grandmother."
[Author's digression]: To give you a reference, there are six to seven thousand steps on Mount Tai, so ten thousand steps is not too exaggerated.
But for me personally, if there are more than ten steps, I choose to stand still.
I didn't find out whether there was a cable car in ancient times or what the ancient cable car was called, so I just named it casually.
