Chapter 20: All the weirdos, each showing their magical powers



"Nonsense, how disgraceful! What do those people think of the Dengwen drum? It's just a drum in the vegetable market, and they can just hit it casually."

"If I were to ask you, I would die if I just spent the whole day dealing with these trivial matters."

[It's not enough to die peacefully. There are so many people in Daye. At least we have to burrow into the ground.]

The old emperor became even angrier when he heard Shen Zhiyi's sarcastic remarks.

I can only hold it in.

I got even angrier.

The old emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The history of Dengwen Drum is very long, dating back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The original intention of its establishment was also for the people. However, most of the people are stubborn and do not understand the benefits and disadvantages.
