While they were making comments for the rest of their lives, the people sitting in front of the competition platform were also busy.
The priest held up the tea and said casually while drinking it: "I heard that a glutton is coming through Dongshan. I wonder if the city lord's palace can deal with it?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Aunt Qing to show that he was speaking to her.
He had a smile on his face, as if he was talking about a happy event.
Everyone around heard it, and Chu You and Zhou Baichuan who were talking all stopped and looked at the three people in the field.
Not to mention them, the three great witches of the witch academy also looked at the priests in surprise, obviously they had just heard the news.
Aunt Wang's face darkened. This news was just told by the city lord when he returned to the city, and it was a coincidence. How did the priest know about it?
The priest thought that Aunt Wang didn't know, so he smiled and said: "The witches of the Eastern Wilderness have noticed it a long time ago, and they just sent the news to the witch academy this morning."
The priest next to him added, "It's the Taotie who blocked the East Shanxi Road a few days ago."
Aunt Wang recovered and said, "There are fourteen states in the Eastern Wasteland and there are tens of thousands of cities. Are you sure the witch is coming to Yangzhou City?"
The priest smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
The people around him also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky about this.
"But the Eastern Wilderness is one body, and if everything is prosperous, everyone will be prosperous, and if one is harmed, everyone will be harmed. It is best to think about countermeasures early." Wu Zhu said.
When the Eastern Wasteland Divine Wizard brought the news in the morning, he proposed that the cities form an alliance and elect a speaker from the fourteen states to lead the cities to jointly fight against Taotie.
"Interesting, you are about to re-elect a king of the Eastern Wilderness." Aunt Wang smiled intriguingly.
The priest put away his smile and said seriously: "I dare not, there is only one king of the Eastern Wasteland."
The foundation of the King of the East Wasteland is on the sea. He became the King of the East Wasteland that year because the fourteen states followed the example of the cities in the West Wasteland and supported him.
It's just that the King of the East Wilderness is good at fighting, causing trouble everywhere, and acting as he pleases without following rules. He is not at all a qualified lord of the cities like the Queen Mother of the West.
Finally, in the Battle of Long Bo, the vitality of the fourteen states of Donghuang was severely damaged, and the king of Donghuang was no longer supported. From then on, the king of Donghuang was only in name.
King Donghuang doesn't think much about this, he still goes his own way, but he has become much more stable recently.
Even so, facing a god like the King of the East Wilderness who acted as he pleased, the Witch Academy did not dare to say that he had robbed her of the throne of the King of the East Wasteland.
Not even the ten witches in Lingshan would dare.
"But someone has to take the lead and gather everyone's strength to deal with Taotie, right?" The priest smiled again, "When everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise."
The divine witch said in his letter that he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance and become the leader of the cities in the fourteen states of the Eastern Barren in one fell swoop, thereby raising the status of the witch academy in the Eastern Barren.
This magical witch possesses the magic weapon of Lingshan, and his Taoism is higher than that of the city lords of the cities in the Eastern Wasteland, so he is full of confidence.
"This is for the people of Donghuang. I wonder what the city lord's government wants?" Shenshi looked at Aunt Wang.
This was considered a conspiracy. Aunt Wang knew what they were planning without even thinking about it.
"I can't decide on this, I have to ask the city lord." Aunt Wang changed her tone, "There is one thing that the gods should not forget. When Yangzhou was built as a city, many monsters were killed."
She smiled confidently and said: "What a glutton, the city lord has his own way to deal with it."
Although the priest smiled on his face, he was disdainful in his heart. It was Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts. How could it be comparable to those monsters?
The priest wanted to say more, but Aunt Wang turned to talk to the commander.
The eyes of the priests couldn't help but become cold. The development of the witch academy in Yangzhou City has not been smooth, with few believers and low power.
For this reason, the Divine Witch has sent many masters here in recent years, including four divine officials.
The resources of the surrounding witch monasteries are also tilted towards Yangzhou City, such as the old woman who sprays water, which is a big killer.
However, the people in Yangzhou City worshiped the city lord too much, so the power of the witch academy has not developed much.
Although the witch in charge of the Eastern Wasteland didn't say anything, he was definitely disappointed, so this time the witch academy decided to push for the success of this matter.
Wu Zhu next to him held him down again, hinting that he could just test it out and don't get angry about it.
The priest suppressed his anger and angrily asked Shopkeeper Liu who came over, "Shopkeeper Liu, why haven't the competition started yet?"
Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, but shopkeeper Yu hasn't come yet. Sir, please wait."
Shenshi said angrily: "There are so many people waiting for him. He is so arrogant. I don't know who he learned it from."
Aunt Wang didn't change her expression when she heard it, just pretending it was just a deaf ear.
Just as the priest was complaining, he heard someone shouting outside, "Here he comes, he comes."
For a moment, everyone looked at the door, and the two priests also turned their heads to look at the boy who suddenly appeared.
Brothers Zhou Jiuzhang and Zhou Dafu came in, followed by Chu Sheng and an old man, holding some ingredients in their hands.
Then a stalwart woman walked in. This woman had a pockmarked face and was holding a kitchen knife and other tools in her hand, which surprised everyone who saw her.
Gui Yidao, who was standing next to Shopkeeper Liu, was also surprised when he saw Mapo.
Although Mapo claims that its Mapo Tofu is the most authentic, it has never reached Gui Yidao's ears.
Customers who can enter Xunweizhai will certainly not go to a roadside stall to try Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl.
Gui Yida was still looking towards the door, but he heard Zhou Jiuzhang say: "This is the one who is going to compete with Gui Yida today."
Everyone present was shocked, the city lord’s nephew was a pockmark! Then he denied that the nephew should be a man.
Shopkeeper Liu frowned, "Mr. Zhou, don't be joking."
"He's really not joking." Chu Sheng walked up and said, "This is Shopkeeper Yu's apprentice, and he has obtained eighty-nine points of Shopkeeper Yu's true inheritance."
He looked at everyone and said, "Shopkeeper Yu said that if you win over him as your disciple, he will be willing to lose."
"Nonsense!" Gui Yidao said angrily. He was inviting Yu Sheng. If he competed with his apprentice, even if he won, he would still be defeated.
Zhou Jiuzhang said: "Brother Gui, don't be afraid. If you win, and if shopkeeper Yu doesn't recognize you, I will personally hang the No. 2 sign in his inn."
Gui Yidao snorted coldly, "I think Shopkeeper Yu is afraid, right? So he hired an apprentice."
"Just think that he is afraid. As long as you win her, you can say whatever you want. But if you want to be an apprentice and you can't beat her, then don't say anything." Zhou Jiuzhang said.
Gui Yidao is still a little dissatisfied and reluctant.
There are also two priests who are dissatisfied. They came here just to see the commander of the Ghost Suppression Division, but now he is not here.
"Isn't this a broken promise?" the priest frowned.
Aunt Wang smiled, "This guy has always been a man of bad faith."
The priest was unable to refute for a moment, so Chu Sheng said: "To be honest, shopkeeper Yu didn't agree to the competition at all. It's good to be able to send an apprentice now."
At this time, the commander spoke, "Shopkeeper Liu, I think this is it. If you win, I will make the commander of the Ghost Suppression Department admit defeat."
"Yes." Aunt Wang said, "If he loses, the city lord will not protect him. I can even ask the city lord to inscribe an inscription for Xunweizhai."
Gui Yidao couldn't make up his mind for a moment and turned his attention to Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the distinguished guests present. With so many people invited, it would be unreasonable not to compete today.
He nodded, "If that's the case, then please bear witness to everyone present. Don't say that if the apprentice loses, it doesn't count as a loss."
When he said this, he looked specifically at Zhou Jiuzhang.
Speaking of which, this competition originated from the arrogance this kid made at the tofu banquet, which made him unable to get off the stage.
Zhou Jiuzhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, if shopkeeper Yu refuses to recognize you, I, Zhou Jiuzhang, will be the first one not to spare him."
