Chapter 211 5. The Keeping Room in the King’s City

Chapter 211 The Storage Room in the Five Kings City

The west wall of the Five Kings City is about ten thousand feet high, and its width is difficult to measure.

There were no soldiers at the city gate, nor were there officials collecting entry taxes, and there were very few people entering or leaving the city.

“Why aren’t there any restrictions on the city gates?”

Walking into the city gate and into the Five Kings City, Zhou Mu asked casually, and Luo Shuangyu, who was following closely beside him, answered respectfully:
"The Five Kings City is guarded by the kings, so they are naturally not afraid of the villains. But Mr. Zhou, the Giant King is under special attention. If we live in the same room with the Giant King, we may be marked by someone with ulterior motives."

After a pause, she continued:

"But it's not certain. After all, the whereabouts of the giant king are always mysterious, and his face is also uncertain. Sometimes he is an old farmer, sometimes a yamen runner, and sometimes a child. Except for the people in the giant king's territory, it is difficult for outsiders to tell him apart."

"Oh?"

Zhou Mu was thoughtful:
"According to what you said, the giant king is ever-changing. How can the common people tell him apart? If the giant king wants to enter the city, how can they stop him?"

Luo Shuangyu replied in a low voice:
"The former has always been a mystery. Buzhou Gongbu and Guabu have explored it for a long time but have never found an answer. As for the latter."

"Duke Zhou of the Gua Department has set up a large formation on the edge of the entire Five Kings City. It records the aura of the Ju Jun's true spirit and is only aimed at the Ju Jun. Once the Ju Jun enters the city, he will be exposed."

"I see."

Zhou Mu nodded slightly and looked around.

Once you enter the city, it becomes prosperous. There are countless peddlers and vendors everywhere. The bluestone slabs are filled with passers-by and the shouting sounds are endless.

Zhou Mu bought a candied haws for little Nezha for three cents - they didn't accept paper money here, but copper coins from the ancient times. Fortunately, the cold-faced girl had quite a few.

"Brother, do you really treat me as a child?" Nezha rolled his eyes but said one thing and meant another. He grabbed the candied haws and licked it with relish.

The group walked forward aimlessly, looking at the prosperity and listening to the tranquility - it was a peace that had never been found in the breeding area.

"That is."

Zhou Mu suddenly stopped and looked into the distance. There was an ancient building, square and a hundred feet high. It looked very familiar.

"Mr. Zhou, that is the library. It is very famous in Five Kings City. It collects all the books in the world and contains countless classics of martial arts. As long as you pay, you can enter. It is also the only way for ordinary people to get in touch with the practice."

Luo Shuangyu explained softly:
"It is said that this library has a history. It is a building left over from the ancient times. There was once a saint named Laozi who lived in this ancient building for thirty years."

Zhou Mu stared at the ancient building and laughed:
"The storage room?"

"Mr. Zhou knows?"

Luo Shuangyu was surprised:
"It is said that this building was indeed called the Storage Room in ancient times. It has a great origin!"

Xu Xian was unable to speak, his face twitching and his expression strange.

Luo Shuangyu explained attentively:

"It is rumored that all the kings of the human race have visited this ancient building, just because of the ancient saint named Laozi, but no true king has discovered anything unusual about this building."

“Over time, it became the library it is today.”

After a while, she smiled and said:
"I have also read many classics, trying to understand how sacred Laozi is, but there are very few records. Senior, you should know, right?"

Zhou Mu remained silent. Xu Xian's expression became even weirder, but he couldn't speak. He could only hold it in. He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter anything.

"interesting."

After staring at the ancient building for a long time, Zhou Mu sighed softly, with a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. After all, he had stayed in this building for 120 years.

It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.

Now that we meet again, I feel so dazed.

"Teacher." Bai Ju, wearing a bamboo hat, took a step forward and asked softly, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

Zhou Mu nodded slightly, but turned to ask Luo Shuangyu:

"Who owns this building now?"

"This"

Luo Shuangyu shook her head:

"That's beyond my knowledge, but I've read the files and it seems to be owned by a hidden True King. The descendants of that True King maintain this building."

"The Hidden True King?" Zhou Mu asked, and Luo Shuangyu explained:

"I can't find out who it is in the files. I only know that the True King is very mysterious. He never asks about the affairs of the Five Kings City, and never goes to Tongtian Tower to ask about government affairs."

Bai Ju said softly: "Teacher, it was Yin Xi. When I was robbed, Yin Xi tried to save me, but failed."

"I guess he has stopped caring about worldly affairs since then."

The cold-faced girl blinked. Yin Xi? She silently memorized the name, and her heart became a little depressed again.

Luo Shuangyu knew that Senior Zhou came to Five Kings City to "collect debts".

"Yin Xi."

Zhou Mu chewed on the name, and it was familiar. He was one of the ten students of Laozi and the commander of Hangu Pass in the ancient Zhou Dynasty. He once asked Laozi for the Tao Te Ching.

"Go and have a look."

Zhou Mu walked in front holding the pig, followed by a porcelain doll holding a fairy turtle. Bai Ju, Xu Xian and the other two followed closely behind.
As for Yang Niannian, Zhou Mu had placed her in the Palace of King Yama as early as when she followed Jujun to the thatched cottage.

I don’t know when that girl will wake up.

The group walked to the ancient building. There was a long queue of people at the entrance. After all, it was only a hundred-foot-high building and could not accommodate too many people.
And every day, countless people come from all over the Five Kings City, wanting to enter the building and watch the classics of martial arts.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't know." Luo Shuangyu whispered, "Because this ancient building has basically all inns nearby, they are full every day. After all, there are too many people who want to enter the building."

"So, to enter the building, you need to first take a wooden stick with a number on it, which is used to wait for a vacant seat in the building - some people wait for a year or two, which is normal."

Zhou Mu smiled:
"You inconsiderate people want to go in, there's no need to be so troublesome, right?"

"Senior, please be wise." Luo Shuangyu nodded with a smile, took off the golden bell from her waist, led everyone around the crowd, walked forward and shook the bell.

The old man guarding the door quickly stood up and invited him in.

The moment he entered the ancient building, Zhou Mu felt a little dazed - it was similar, too similar.

It is almost the same as the storage room back then!
He almost thought that he had returned to the Zhou Dynasty and was back in the storage room, where another thirty years would pass.

The porcelain doll was wearing a smiley mask bought from the street, looking around:
"Huh? There is indeed a strong sense of the vicissitudes of time. This building seems to have become extraordinary. Has it become a treasure?"

"I didn't expect a child to have such knowledge?" A gentle voice came, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was an elderly woman who walked over leisurely. The old woman was leaning on a cane, and there was a young man beside her. The former said with a smile:

"I am Yin Muying, and I am appointed as the manager of this library."

Zhou Mu understood that these were most likely the descendants of Yin Xi - judging from their seniority, they also seemed to be his descendants?
Although, I have never even met Yin Xi.

Yin Muying looked peaceful and spoke in a gentle tone:

"I heard that Buzhou Jinling had arrived, so I came to see her. Is this the girl?"

She looked at Luo Shuangyu and asked cheerfully:
"Miss, are you here to disperse the crowd in advance? I thought that the great man said he would come after noon, and these people were eager to learn, so I took the initiative to let them continue to read books."

Luo Shuangyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted:
"Senior Yin, you misunderstood. I just returned to Five Kings City and didn't know who was going to come to the library for this matter?"

Yin Muying was also stunned, knowing that he had thought wrongly, his expression remained gentle:

"It is the famous Senior Su from Buzhou."

Luo Shuangyu's expression suddenly froze, and Xu Xian's eyes widened. Zhou Mu saw this, and his heart moved. He asked calmly:

"Does Miss Luo know you?"

Luo Shuangyu's eyelids twitched, but she finally answered honestly:

"To reply to Senior Zhou, it is Senior Su Daji."

Zhou Mu laughed:

"It's a coincidence."

Yin Muying was very interested:
"Does this old gentleman know that old senior Su?"

"It doesn't count."

Zhou Mu lowered his eyelids:
"It's just a two-sided encounter."

"Oh?"

Yin Muying's heart moved slightly, and he smiled:

"I am not the one who has come to accompany you, but I don't know that old senior Su. I am worried about how to receive him. Could you please stay a little longer?"

Zhou Mu smiled:

"It's impossible."

Hearing this, Yin Muying quickly glanced and ordered:

"It's almost noon, let the people go out for the time being."

Youths make a ceremony:

"Yes, grandma."

He looked at Zhou Mu and others curiously, then went to invite the readers to leave the building one by one. The huge ancient building became quiet and soon empty.

"Please sit back and let me ask my grandson to make some tea."

Yin Muying invited Zhou Mu and others to sit in front of some tables in the middle of the building. Zhou Mu and Porcelain Doll placed the ordinary-looking piglet and turtle next to the table.
Bai Ju lowered his head slightly, and his expression could not be seen under his hat, but his hands seemed to be clenched tightly.

According to Bai Ju, it was Su Daji who peeled off Bai Ju's eyes under the order of the unknown true king.

This is hatred.

"It's such a coincidence that I can meet the famous Su Daji again when I first arrive here."

Zhou Mu said this to himself, his eyes were extremely deep, Xu Xian and Lengmiannu both swallowed their saliva.

He took the tea handed to him by the young man, thanked him, took a sip, but did not wait. Instead, he closed his eyes as if he was resting.

The thought had already penetrated Xiaotian Dog's memory fragments.

Zhou Mu has too many questions and needs to ask Senior Yuanshi for advice.

………………

A mansion.

Su Daji asked respectfully:
"Sir, do we have to take that ancient building? But behind the ancient building, there is an ancient true king, Yin Xi."

"It must be obtained." A voice sounded, and Qi Bo, who was standing aside, lowered his head to show respect.

The voice said:

"I heard from Qi Bo that you have met Emperor Xin, and he is still in love with you. Emperor Xin's ability is far superior to Yin Xi. If you go there, Yin Xi may not dare to show up."

Su Daji nodded.

On the side, Qi Bo couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, why don't I go there myself?"

"you?"

The voice sounded:
"You are a True King. If you want to take the ancient building, the other True Kings may find something wrong. Besides, something happened a while ago, and Duke Zhou almost died. The other kings are keeping a close eye on you."

After a while, the owner of the voice sighed:
"It's a pity for those three little guys. I spent a lot of effort to promote them all to true kings, but they all died in one day, Xuanyuan."

After a moment of silence, the voice continued:
"I have received news that messengers from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the two Buddhist mountains, and the underworld are coming to 'visit'. This is an opportunity. The Five Kings City is about to be in chaos."

"The more chaotic it is, the more benefits we can gain after opening Kunlun Ruins."

"But before that, it's best to get that ancient building."

Qi Bo couldn't help asking:
"My Lord, why is this?"

That voice said:
"You are not unaware of the dangers of entering Kunlun Ruins. Didn't that little girl fall into it before?"

“And that ancient building was Laozi’s residence for thirty years. Confucius also preached in it. It is stained with the aura of Laozi and Confucius.”

"In this way, the various dangers of entering Kunlun Ruins will not embarrass the ancient building and the creatures in it."

Qi Bo suddenly realized and bowed quickly. Su Daji looked at the sky, stood up, and bowed towards the dark place:
"Sir, I will go there first and try to get the ancient building."

"Go ahead." Youyou's voice was extremely calm: "The sooner the better. Visitors from various Daluo forces will soon arrive."
