After watching Su Mu and others leave, Wu Mingsheng quickly ran towards his homestay inn. On the way, medical staff asked him to come over for a physical examination, but he ignored them.
After returning to the inn, he locked the courtyard door and the house door, went straight to his room, opened the safe, and took out a gilded bronze statue from it.
The bronze statue has a human head and a snake body, and is about 70% similar to the monster Su Mu saw in the illusion.
Wu Mingsheng carried out the bronze statue and placed it in front of the shrine dedicated to the God of Wealth. He then took out three incense sticks made of special materials, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner.
Three beams of white smoke rose slowly and poured into the gilded bronze statue. In a trance, Wu Mingsheng felt that the eyes of the statue seemed to suddenly brighten.
He did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, called out to the great Lord, and began to report.
"I met the Sumu mentioned by the Lord in the village under the Gongga Snow Mountain. He and several classmates came to our village to stay overnight. During the stay, he helped a person here to cure his illness. It turned out that the man was parasitized by an evil monster. After Sumu and his friends got rid of the evil monster, a huge nine-tailed snake with thousands of poisonous snakes suddenly appeared..."
Wu Mingsheng was just an ordinary person, and he didn't know how Su Mu killed the nine-tailed snake. He only knew that after the nine-tailed snake appeared, it released an extremely terrifying force, which almost crushed him. Fortunately, Su Mu also released an equally strong pressure, which offset each other and saved him from death.
He heard part of what Su Mu and Nine-tailed Snake were talking about, but not the whole thing. As for how they started fighting again and how Nine-tailed Snake was defeated, he had no idea.
Again, he was just an ordinary person who didn't dare to leave the house when the incident happened. Some of the information he got was heard while hiding in the house, some was heard from the neighbors chatting outside, and even a lot of it was the plot they made up in their minds - Su Mu was a lifesaver, so they just praised him and that was it.
Wu Mingsheng didn't know that in a space completely shrouded in darkness, a monster with a human head and a snake body, with only a skeleton left, was listening to his report.
It was precisely because his report contained a large amount of imaginary and untrue content that the monster's judgment was misled.
"A giant nine-tailed snake? With that size, it must be an adult. And an adult nine-tailed snake, at the weakest, should be at least level four in strength."
"Su Mu's cultivation is only Grade A, like an ant. Even with his teammates, they can't be the opponent of the Nine-tailed Snake. They will be swallowed up in one bite! But now, it was Su Mu who killed the Nine-tailed Snake..."
"It must be my old friend who used Su Mu's body to attack! He was able to use Su Mu's power to kill a nine-tailed snake of at least level four. It seems that he really escaped from the cage and was not lying to me!"
"Find him, I must find him and find out how to leave the cage! I have been in this damn place for too long, I don't want to stay any longer!"
Although the monster was eager to find the mysterious old friend, he did not intend to start with Su Mu.
It only gave orders to its believers in dreams, asking them to report the situation after they met Sumu, but it did not send anyone to follow Sumu, nor did it send anyone to investigate Sumu's background.
It's not that it doesn't want to do it, but that it doesn't dare.
It was afraid that doing so would anger the mysterious old friend. It still had to rely on the other party to escape from this cage space, so it had to be cautious! As for asking someone to report immediately when they met Su Mu, it was just a borderline ball. Even if the mysterious old friend knew about it, he would not take it to heart.
Wu Mingsheng finished his report quickly.
But he did not stop the ceremony, but began to pray: "Lord, please bless my B&B business to recover as soon as possible. In order to open this B&B, I not only spent all my savings, but also borrowed a lot of money. If the business continues to be so bleak, I will go bankrupt..."
Hearing this, the monster in the cage space couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Although it was trapped in the cage space, it still had some grasp of the situation in the outside world. It knew that the business of Wu Mingsheng's B&B was not good because the snow mountain dangerous area suddenly became active, and multiple space cracks appeared, allowing ferocious beasts and monsters to escape.
In such a situation, what help can a prisoner in a cage do?
So the monster simply pretended not to hear and ignored it.
In his heart, he was wondering who was imprisoned in the Snow Mountain Dangerous Land? The Snow Mountain Dangerous Land had been in existence for many years, and the prisoners imprisoned in it must have died long ago... Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many ferocious beasts and evil monsters in the dangerous land.
"If I can't leave this damn cage, in a few years, when my strength is sucked away by these damn maggots, I will turn into a pile of dry bones and become nutrients for the newly born monsters, right?"
The monster sighed and looked down at the maggots crawling all over his body.
A cloud of black mist surged, and the maggots on its body immediately turned into ashes. But the next second, new maggots were born on its body, constantly devouring its rotten flesh and marrow, sucking its energy.
These maggots were the punishment of this caged space. They could not be killed or eradicated, and they tortured it endlessly until it died completely. When it was first imprisoned in this place, it cleaned up these maggots a lot, but later gave up because it was useless...
Wu Mingsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, had not yet finished praying when he made another request: "If the business of my B&B inn cannot be improved, please bless me to make a fortune in other ways... such as lottery or something! When I become rich, I will definitely offer you a large amount of incense money!"
In other words, there was no flesh on the monster's face, only bones left, otherwise it would have been so angry that its face would have turned blue.
May you be rich and make a fortune? I want money now! You have more money in your safe than I do!
As for the lottery? Forget it!
The lottery tickets in this world are guarded by powerful cultivators. Not to mention that the monsters are imprisoned in the cage space and cannot exert any influence on the lottery tickets. Even if they can exert any influence, it is impossible for them to be given to Wu Mingsheng! Wouldn't it be better to win the lottery by yourself?
"Greedy!" The monster commented on Wu Mingsheng in his heart, but this kind of greedy person is its most useful follower now.
It thought about it, and finally replied to Wu Mingsheng: "I know!"
As for what it said, whether it knew about what Wu Mingsheng reported or about Wu Mingsheng's prayer, it depends on Wu Mingsheng himself to understand.
Anyway, it is not afraid of Wu Mingsheng's betrayal.
If Wu Mingsheng really dares to betray it just because it didn't bless him to get rich, it has plenty of ways to deal with him! At the very least, it can make Wu Mingsheng a puppet under its control! At that time, let's see what requests Wu Mingsheng dares to make!
Wu Mingsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly heard a voice in his ear. He was startled at first, then overjoyed, thinking that he was really blessed by the gods.
He kowtowed to the bronze statue without stopping, his face full of smiles and his heart filled with joy.
"The Lord said that He knows my prayers, and He is going to help me get rich! Lao Wang, Lao Ma, and Da Dongzi, just wait and see. It won't be long before I, Wu Mingsheng, will be on an equal footing with you, or even above you! Because I have a God above me! Hahahaha..."
Just as we were having fun, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Wu Mingsheng was startled and asked hurriedly, "Who?"
"police!"
A voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Ah? Police...Police."
Wu Mingsheng was startled and his eyes turned to the gilded bronze statue placed in front of the God of Wealth.
He knew very well that he was worshipping an evil god. If he was discovered by the police, not only would he not be able to become rich and be on equal footing with Lao Wang, Lao Ma, and Da Dongzi, he would be arrested tonight.
"Is there... anything?"
As Wu Mingsheng asked, he picked up the gilded bronze statue and ran towards his room.
"Routine inspection, open the door quickly!"
"Here it comes. Here it comes."
Wu Mingsheng quickly put the gilded bronze statue back into the safe, and then opened the door to the house and the courtyard.
There were several policemen standing outside, including one who was a Xiuzhen police officer.
"Why are you so slow?" The policeman showed his ID and walked into the house. "We came to check if there are any hidden dangers left here. After all, a group of snakes just came."
That being said, the real reason was that the detection equipment in the hands of the Xiuzhen police suddenly discovered abnormal energy fluctuations here, so they rushed over to check it out.
"Uh... I'm going to the bathroom, going to the bathroom." Wu Mingsheng made an excuse.
"Why is your face sweating? Are you panicking?"
"Isn't it because I was scared? You didn't see the scene just now. Those snakes were so scary... If I wasn't scared, why would I rush back to the toilet?"
The Xiuzhen police officer took a look at the instrument in his hand and found nothing on Wu Mingsheng, so he ignored him and went straight into the house. Following the indications of the instrument, he found Wu Mingsheng's safe.
“Open it!”
"Ah?" Wu Mingsheng's face changed.
"There's something wrong inside!"
"this……"
Seeing that he was not cooperating, the Xiuzhen police officer simply took action himself and cast a spell, and the ordinary safe was immediately opened.
Wu Mingsheng's face turned green.
WTF? It was opened so easily? The person who sold me the safe boasted that it had a very high security factor and even cultivators couldn't open it! Now it seems that was all false advertising!
At the same time, he was extremely scared, thinking to himself that he was doomed. If the statue he worshipped was discovered by the police, he would be imprisoned...
But at this moment, a poisonous snake with wings on its back suddenly jumped out of the safe and was killed by the Xiuzhen police officer with one sword!
Then the Xiuzhen police officer used an instrument to measure the surroundings and checked the safe.
There was nothing in the safe except some money. The gilded bronze statue that Wu Mingsheng had placed inside seemed to have disappeared.
After confirming that there was no problem, the Xiuzhen police officer said, "There is no abnormal energy fluctuation in this place." He turned his head to look at Wu Mingsheng. Seeing that he looked grim, he thought he was frightened by the flying snake. He comforted him and reminded him, "If you find anything wrong, notify us immediately!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Mingsheng nodded repeatedly.
After the police left, he closed the door and let out a long sigh, feeling his whole body soaked with cold sweat.
When he returned to the house and looked at the safe, he found that the gilded bronze statue was intact inside, but the money inside was gone...
Where did the bronze statue go? What happened to the flying snake? Could it be that all these were the Lord's tricks?
Although Wu Mingsheng felt sorry for the missing money, he was even more afraid of the Lord's means. His legs went weak and he knelt before the gilded bronze statue again, praying non-stop.
