The descendants of the gods and spirits, including the Two Crows Taoist, followed behind Wang Quan with bruised and swollen faces and dejected expressions.

The group passed through the gate and entered the courtyard, where they saw a small bridge over a flowing stream and lush grass where birds sang.

Some pavilions are faintly visible, and within the courtyard, there are smaller courtyards.

The gatekeeper introduces each pavilion and courtyard.

"This place is inhabited by ghosts and spirits, or their contemporary descendants."

"Although they live in the same yard as us, they are not from the same world."

As the group walked through a moon gate, a huge garden appeared before them.

Then the gatekeeper led everyone into the garden. As soon as they entered the garden, Wang Quan found that his body began to shrink and the flowers and plants around him grew larger.

The doorman quickly explained, "We are not of high enough status. The creatures who appreciate the beauty of the garden do not want to see... creatures of too low a status."

"So, when we pass by here, our bodies shrink."

"Also, if you encounter giants walking in the garden, never provoke them; if you get trampled to death, it will be a pointless death."

The Two Crows Taoist gritted his teeth: "One day, I will come here openly and honestly to admire the flowers!"

The doorman sneered, "Don't even mention this life, not even the next life, not even the life after that! You have no hope!"

The Two Crows Taoist...

Instead of discussing it with them, Wang Quan studied the surrounding flowers and plants.

When he shrunk down, the flowers and plants looked like towering trees.

what is interesting:

He saw some creatures from the underworld on these flowers and plants.

These creatures of the underworld are like tribal creatures in the real world; they survive by gathering flowers, grass stems and leaves, and various small insects.

The doorman explained, "These guys are unlucky bastards who don't even have a place to stand."

"They sneak into the garden via wires, then shrink their bodies and live here for generations."

"Some of these creatures have come to regard this garden as their entire world."

"If you ever lose your place in the future and don't want to die outside, you can sneak into this garden!"

"You can eat insects, withered grass and fallen leaves and not starve; if you're lucky, you might even be able to establish a tribe here and become the leader and have some fun."

"But you must not damage the flowers and plants here; otherwise, you will die if the gardener on duty finds out."

A full quarter of an hour later, the group finally passed through the garden, but they hadn't gone far when they came across another garden.

Once again, everyone was forced to shrink by the power of the garden.

After flying and traveling for more than an hour, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Here are rows of tall buildings, with only a few meters between them.

"Everyone, activate your keys and follow the directions to your residences!"

"Distinguished guest, your accommodation is not here."

"We need to go north to see your place!"

Wang Quan looked at the two Taoist priests and said, "Let's go see your lodgings first!"

The two crows were overjoyed and quickly spat out a mouthful of magic power to activate the key.

"Come on, I can sense my room!"

call out!

Two crows took flight, followed by seventy-two streams of dust from the king, and the other descendants of ghosts and gods also followed out of curiosity.

call out!call out!call out!

The crowd moved through the densely packed high-rise buildings.

At first, the Two Crows Taoist was excited; however, after passing through several tall buildings and seeing some of the interiors through the windows, everyone's mood became low and even heavy.

After a short while, the two crows landed on a tall building and then walked down the passage.

After Wang Quan went inside, he immediately fell silent.

because:

Inside the high-rise building, there are no suites, no rooms, only rows of shelves.

The shelf has more than a dozen layers, each layer being no more than three feet high and three feet wide.

Strange creatures from the underworld huddled in these shelves, looking quite cramped.

Two Crows Taoist saw his place: it was the iron frame in the middle level.

Lying on top is a squid creature dripping with slime, flanked by unidentified fleshy mountain creatures, and below is a large-headed creature that keeps grinning foolishly.

Upon seeing this, the Two Crows Taoist's lips twitched, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, wailing, "In the countryside, I lorded it over everyone, and was considered a local tyrant!"

"Why did I have to live such a stifling life after coming to the capital?"

"This is not the life I want!"

"Waaaah... I want to go home!"

call out!

The squid stretched out an arm and stroked his head: "Brother, don't cry: even being a beggar in the capital is much more noble than being a local tyrant in the countryside!"

"Besides, you still have a place!"

"What's truly pitiful are the savages in the garden and the useless people in the alley."

"People like us are considered moderately well-off in the capital."

Wang Quan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

He glanced at the gatekeeper, who smiled and said, "Distinguished guest, it's already quite impressive to have a place within the hundred rings of Emperor's Tomb City!"

"After all, the capital is vast, and living here isn't easy!"

Seeing this, Wang Quan said to the two Taoist priests, "You two familiarize yourselves with the dormitories first, I'll go see my own place!"

Two Crows Daoist and the others quickly shook their heads: "There's nothing to be familiar with in this wretched place!"

"Come on, let's go see your place!"

Wang Quan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the expectation in their eyes, he sighed and said, "Alright!"

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Quan, along with the descendants of the two crows and other ghosts and gods, stood in front of a row of small courtyards.

These courtyards are not large, only about one acre each.

This area would be quite small in any other place.

However, within the Imperial Tomb City, specifically within Compound No. 95, this area is already extremely large.

The doorman bowed and scraped, saying, "Honored guest, this is your accommodation."

"I have a niece who doesn't have a surname; she can be your doorman!"

Just as Wang Quan was about to refuse, the Taoist priest Liangya grabbed the gatekeeper by the collar and slapped him across the face several times.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Several hard slaps landed on the doorman's face, making him see stars: "Why did you hit me?"

A group of descendants of ghosts and gods swarmed forward, punching and kicking the gatekeeper: "You bastard, how dare your niece be a gatekeeper? I want to be a gatekeeper!"

"I need to sweep the floor for the flower-sprinkling master."

"I'll serve the tea!"

"I'll pour the water!"

A group of descendants of ghosts and gods started assigning themselves positions in a noisy chatter.

Finally, they looked expectantly at the king: "Lord Wang, please take us in!"

"Even if you let us sleep in the yard, we really don't want to live in that so-called place."

The king remained silent.

The gatekeeper peered out from beneath the many spirits and deities: "Honored guest, my niece may sleep by the door."

"As you know, our family has been doormen for generations."

"Having her as a doorman is definitely better than these idiots!"

boom! boom! boom!

"Hey... why are you trampling on me again? I'll fight you!"

boom!boom!

A group of creatures, punching and kicking, fight for a position.

Wang Quan ignored them, took the key, unleashed his magic, imprinted his own aura on it, and then opened the door to enter the courtyard.

This courtyard is similar to a traditional courtyard house with many rooms.

Let alone those descendants of ghosts and gods outside, even if there were a hundred or two more, it wouldn't be a problem.

The only problem is:

"Would it be feasible for me to renovate this small courtyard and use it as a landmark connecting to Stone City?"

"Also, now that I have some property in the underworld, will my ancestors' graves be emitting auspicious smoke?"
