Everyone looked back at the little grandson, waiting for him to translate.
The little grandson thought about it and said, "She said, as you have seen, they don't bite, they just use it to pass by."
Looking at the little mummy chewing carrion with gusto, it seemed that it didn't bite anyone anymore, but everyone was so sick that they wanted to vomit.
Just as he was about to speak out again to drive away, Zhou Jiufeng spoke, "I think this mummy is so unique that it may be worthy of our in-depth study."
After these days of hard struggle with the mummies, Zhou Jiufeng deeply understood that the mummies could not be killed by their Jinyi Guards alone.
There are as many mummies as grass, but they cannot be harvested at will by standing still. They can only be harvested by chopping off the head.
These days, they have been exhausted from killing the mummies scattered in the south of Yangzhou.
Now this mummy is actually awake and can even talk to people, which is certainly worth finding out.
If you can know the secret, you will have a way to deal with it when the mummies come back.
"Then let them pass?" Ye Zigao said.
"No, let her sit in the inn for the time being." Zhou Jiufeng said that she would not worry about going to Yangzhou City. One bite of a living person would immediately turn into a large mass of mummified corpses.
…
When the people on the stone bridge dispersed, Yu Shiyu walked up to the attic.
"What's wrong with your face being so pale? Are you overindulging?" Yu Shiyu found a stool and sat down, teasing Yu Sheng.
"You're blind, I'm obviously injured." Yu Sheng said angrily, his head still hurting.
Yu Shiyu was startled, "Hey, there are people around here who can hurt you. If you weren't practicing in meditation yesterday, could you be possessed by something crazy?"
"Injured by Zhu Yin," Yu Sheng said lightly, throwing a card in his hand to Yu Shiyu, "This is for you."
Yu Shiyu also knew about this card. She grabbed it and put it in her pocket, and asked anxiously: "Has Zhu Yin landed ashore?"
"No, I met him in the sea." Yu Sheng told everything that happened yesterday.
"Zhu Yin is so powerful that he can hurt you with just one eye?" Yu Shiyu was surprised.
"Zhu Yin was the master who could fight your mother for 800 rounds without losing. Isn't it strange?" Yu Sheng said after finishing the last mouthful of porridge.
What's more, in the land of chaos, there is no daylight, no time, and darkness all around.
If he didn't go crazy in such an environment and persisted in living until now, he would definitely be a ruthless person. In such a quiet environment, his strength might have improved even more.
"Zhuyin is not something we can deal with. I think the top priority is to find ways to help your mother escape from the three-headed crow's cage." Yu Shiyu said.
But she didn't have any confidence in what she said.
A three-legged acorn with one head may be okay. Ten heads together, even if it is more difficult to deal with than candle yin.
I have been thinking about this for the rest of my life these days, but I have no clue.
"Perhaps, we can ask Bai Ze for advice. He must know how to rescue your mother." The city lord put down his wine glass and said.
The mythical beast Bai Ze knows the essence of all things and knows the appearance of all things in the world. If there is a way to save Yu Sheng's mother, then Bai Ze must know it.
"No," Yu Sheng shook his head, "Bai Ze lives on the East China Sea."
Now that the sea has become Zhu Yin's territory, if Yu Sheng goes to the East China Sea, he will be falling into a trap, and even if Bai Ze knows about it, he may not dare to tell Yu Sheng.
The three of them were silent, racking their brains and unable to think of even the slightest bit of useful solution.
"It doesn't matter, there is always a way in the world," Yu Sheng said, "Maybe we can meet a Hou Yi."
"Hou Yi?" The city lord and Yu Shiyu were puzzled.
"Use arrows to shoot down nine of the ten three-legged crows." Yu Sheng said.
"Is there really such a magic archer in the world?" Yu Shiyu didn't believe it. If there was, then he must be at least an archer god or above.
"Maybe there really is such a person." Yu Sheng was very optimistic. "Even if I travel throughout the wilderness, I will find a way to deal with the three-legged crow."
Of course, it would be even better if I could see the legendary Chang'e. I'll have to see what she looks like for the rest of my life. Maybe she's not as beautiful as my aunt.
At this time, there was a noise downstairs, so Yu Sheng went downstairs and saw in the lobby, little mummies biting people around them like crazy dogs.
Most of his face was made of white bones, with rotten flesh hanging between his teeth, and his breath made the entire inn lobby stink.
Fortunately, the small mummy was held by the big mummy, so no one was hurt, but it also attracted Bai Gao and others to deal with it with swords.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Ye Zigao ran in from outside carrying a bowl of pig blood, "It's hot, let him drink it."
The big mummy took the bowl, said something grateful to Ye Zigao, and handed the bowl to the little mummy.
Unexpectedly, the little mummy didn't buy it. He reached out and knocked over the bowl, and rushed towards the nearest Zhou Jiufeng with a loud noise.
"I didn't expect this kid to be quite picky about food." Zhou Jiufeng said with a smile when she saw the big mummy tightening its grip on him.
The big mummy nodded apologetically to Zhou Jiufeng, and held on to the little mummy, trying to calm him down.
"Is this your son?" Yu Sheng said, and everyone stepped aside to let Yu Sheng walk in.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Yu, are you out of confinement?" Zhou Jiufeng said, she had been here a few days ago.
"Yeah", Yu Sheng threw her a monster card. As a royal guard, she does a lot of good deeds all day long, so she should get a lot of merit points.
"Thank you." Zhou Jiufeng, who had been coveting their card for a long time, happily put it away.
Yu Sheng looked at the mummy and said, "Your son has a very bad temper."
Knowing that Yu Sheng's identity was unusual, the big mummy pulled the little mummy tightly to his side.
"Can you tell me what you are doing by borrowing the road to Yangzhou?" Yu Sheng asked her.
The big mummy stared at Yu Sheng, hesitated for a while and then told Yu Sheng that she took the road to Yangzhou to find her family.
Yu Sheng smiled bitterly and pointed at the bodies of the small mummy and the big mummy, "Do you think you two can go to Yangzhou like this?"
The big mummy fell silent.
"If you tell me how you stay awake, maybe I can help you." Yu Sheng said.
He was also curious about how she became the only one who retained her humanity among the vast sea of mummies.
The big mummy instantly ignited hope and softly uttered a few words.
"She said it was the obsession to find her family," the grandson translated.
After turning into a mummy, the big mummy naturally has the desire to eat human flesh and thirst for blood.
This desire originates from the depths of her soul, engulfing her reason all the time, causing her to fall into the quagmire of evil.
However, for her, finding her family and being reunited is also an obsession hidden deep in her soul.
This obsession reminded her all the time not to sink, to stay awake, thus defeating the evil desire that came with becoming a mummy.
But this obsession, if she doesn't take action and persistently search for it, will disappear sooner or later, turning her into a confused mummy.
So, she took her child and appeared on the stone bridge.
Yu Sheng and Zhou Jiufeng looked at each other and couldn't help but hand over their hands: "I admire you."
She was beyond recognition and disgusting, with rotting flesh hanging all over her body and exuding a very foul smell that made people unable to help but cover their mouths and noses.
But among thousands of mummies, she was the only one who never lost all the reasons for living in extreme despair.
That was the brightest light in her life, like stinky tofu.
Yu Sheng looked at the knife in the big mummy's hand and suddenly asked her: "Have you ever killed a mummy?"
The big mummy pulled the little mummy over cautiously.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking, I won't let you kill him," Yu Sheng said.
The big mummy nodded.
Along her way north, she killed many mummies and rescued some people.
Although many people she saved were afraid of her and despised her; some were in vain and they soon became mummies.
But she never gave up on saving people.
Moreover, it was convenient for her to kill mummies. Those mummies had no brains. When they saw that she was also a mummy, they ignored her and turned a blind eye to her killing other mummies.
"Very good", Yu Sheng handed her a demon card, "Kill ten thousand mummies, and I will help you resurrect them as before."
