Chapter nine hundred and ninety-ninth the Northern Desolate King
The children quickly came ashore and gathered the water chestnuts together.
Wang Xiaobao was also among them, but he did not put the most juicy water chestnut in, but carried it alone to Yu Sheng's side.
"This is for the city lord. The most delicious water chestnuts in the pond. Remember to let the city lord taste it." Wang Xiaobao warned Yu Sheng like an adult.
"Okay", Yu Sheng leaned down and took it, "I will definitely let my little aunt try it."
"Little aunt?" Wang Xiaobao was confused for the rest of his life.
"Well, the city lord is my aunt, otherwise you think it would be so easy to marry this wife?" Yu Sheng said and stood up to say goodbye.
They went to Wang Laowei's house. Of course, there was a Yaoqi Inn now, so they already had a door to the kitchen within easy reach.
Yu Sheng and others went straight in, leaving many stunned people behind.
After a long time, Wang Xiaobao asked his mother, "Mom, my little aunt is..."
"Pah", his mother slapped him, "Let's go and play."
…
When they returned to the inn, it was raining heavily.
My aunt was reading a book, and the maid from the City Lord's Mansion was standing next to her, serving tea. She was very comfortable.
Seeing her reading, Yu Sheng remembered it and turned around and said to Chu Ci: "Do me a favor and buy me books from all the bookstores in the city."
"Also, let the people from the City Lord's Mansion free a room behind Xunweizhai to use as a library." Yu Sheng said.
All the brothels on Zhangtai Road behind Xunweizhai originally belonged to Xunweizhai, but were later taken back by the city lord and allowed the brothel women to run their own businesses.
But the house still belongs to the city lord's mansion, and it's not too much to have one for the rest of your life.
"Isn't this a bit excessive?" Zhou Jiuzhang said, "If you build a library inside a brothel, will anyone be able to read it?"
"In case there is one, you can only become a master if you can withstand temptation." Yu Sheng said with a smile.
He built the library just because of the word "sword" and didn't care where it was built.
"By the way," he told Zhou Jiufeng again, "tell the merchants passing by that I will collect as many books as there are."
Zhou Jiufeng also agreed.
"How's it going? Is the case solved?" Aunt Qing asked without raising her head. Yu Sheng took a look and saw that it was a horse-fighting book.
"It was solved," Yu Sheng said, "and four major cases were solved, no, five major cases!"
Aunt Qing had to raise her head now, "What, five cases, didn't you pretend to be Hu Muyuan's monster?"
"Yes, but there are many twists and turns." Yu Sheng sat down.
He told several cases where Wang Laowen and his wife were killed by Wang Po, Wang Po was starved to death by her daughter-in-law, Wang Po abducted and sold her daughter-in-law, and a raccoon demon killed Wang Yan.
Aunt Qing is the city lord and has seen a lot of the world, but she never imagined that a small mountain village could be so complicated.
"There are only four cases, there is still one more." Aunt Qing asked.
"And, there's more..."
Before Yu Sheng could say anything, he was covered by Zhou Jiufeng, "And the person pretending to be Hu Muyuan is the raccoon demon from Mei'an."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu" Yu Sheng struggled and opened Zhou Jiufeng's hand, "Don't worry, I won't talk about you raping Zhuang Zisheng."
Yu Sheng took out the Nether God statue from his arms and placed it in front of Aunt Qing. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Aunt Qing and Zhou Jiufeng looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked.
"No, it's nothing." Zhou Jiufeng rolled his eyes, covered his face and left.
"Oh, this is a bit strange. Sister Feng is actually shy." Yu Sheng said with a smile, "Unprecedented, what happened to her?"
"I don't know," Aunt Qing said with a smile.
Yu Sheng simply ignored it and pointed at the Nether God statue in front of him, "Let's see if it looks similar to the weirdo Gongsun Buchui described."
Aunt Qing looked at it for a long time and nodded, it was true.
"It seems that there is some connection between that weirdo and this Netherworld statue." Aunt Qing said, moving to touch the Netherworld statue.
"Be careful!" The witch doctor walked in from the kitchen and stopped her hastily.
She took a step forward and pushed the Nether God statue far away, "This statue is an ominous thing. The city lord is pregnant and cannot touch it."
"Do you know it?" Yu Sheng asked in surprise.
The witch doctor nodded, "Master, can you still remember the shadow binding technique?"
For the rest of my life, I will remember that when I arrested the witch doctor, I got a bamboo slip from her hand with ghost characters written on it.
Because the witch doctor had been sealed by himself, the book was later returned to the witch doctor, and he didn’t read it much for the rest of his life.
"On that bamboo slip, there is a record of this kind of statue. It is called a ghost statue. It can control the cycle of life and death, and can also determine the length of life." said the witch doctor.
Apart from some differences in the name, what the witch doctor said was pretty much the same as what Wang Po used.
"No matter what it's called, its function is the same, related to reincarnation, lifespan, and ghosts." Aunt Qing looked at Yu Sheng, "And this seems to be the ability of the Northern Wilderness King."
Yu Sheng frowned, "Are you saying that someone or a god has interfered with the rights of the Northern Wilderness King?"
He almost immediately thought of his powerful enemy, the old man who had created tens of millions of mummies and had the same soul mark as him.
"Could it be him?" Yu Sheng asked, mummies are also related to the cycle of life and death.
"It's not impossible." The city lord said. With his help, Zhu Yindu escaped and took the throne of King Donghuang.
"It's amazing, this old man." Yu Sheng said, he regretted a little. He should have taken the opportunity to snatch the soul seal.
At that time, the old man was like borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul. The body was not his and he could not control it freely.
When he comes back, it won't be that simple to take away the soul mark.
But don't be afraid. With the help of the inn, Yu Sheng will slowly build his own security fortress in the Middle Wilderness and Eastern Wilderness.
Not to mention an old man, if he comes with the Emperor of Heaven on Lingshan Mountain, there will be nothing he can do for the rest of his life.
At worst, the evil spirit pavilion hiding in the inn will be unified, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter outside.
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng felt that we should build the inn quickly and realize the expansion of the inn.
The system has said that although everything outside the Yaoqi Pavilion is currently invisible, as the number of inns in Yu Sheng increases, the Yaoqi Pavilion will continue to expand.
"I kind of sympathize with King Beihuang." Aunt Qing said.
Although I don’t know if the old man took it away, it is true that the Northern Wilderness King’s power was tainted.
The number of monsters, gods, and immortals in the world has gradually increased, and now they have taken a share of the power.
Apart from the King of the Eastern Wilderness, the most miserable one is the King of the Northern Wilderness.
"Then shall we ask Hong Chiyan about the weirdo tomorrow?" Yu Sheng asked.
"Ask," Aunt Qing said.
"What if it has something to do with that old man? If we know who is behind this statue in advance, we can be prepared if he comes to deal with us."
The rest of my life is clear.
"By the way", Aunt Qing pointed to a girl who was drinking in the lobby, "I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Yu Sheng looked at the girl strangely.
She had long hair, was handsome, and looked a bit young. She was already drunk alone with just one plate of food and several jars of wine.
"Who is she?" Yu Sheng asked. He had only hooked up with one girl, Aunt Qing.
The only other person of the opposite sex is his sister.
The sister who was hiding in the high building of the city lord's mansion, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and had been comprehending the sword intention left by Lao Yu.
"How do I know?" Aunt Qing said angrily.
This was also the reason why she didn't call everyone to beat the horse.
