“Choose any side and tap it six times in a row,” Zhuangzhuang said to Murun.
Mu Run knocked six times as instructed.
The box in my hand clicked open!
Inside was a small golden ball.
Mu Run took out the small ball and subconsciously squeezed it; it was soft... just like a sponge egg.
"What can this do?"
"It can absorb water."
“…Oh.” Mu Run silently put on her act again. “Are there any other ways to play?”
"Yes, Mother can knock six times on the other side."
Mu Run knocked as instructed, and the box opened again. This time, inside was a small wooden figure, lifelike.
"This is quite interesting. What about the other sides?"
"They're all different."
"This little thing is quite suitable for you." Mu Run didn't continue tapping it, treating it as a small mechanical toy for children.
Later, Mu Run realized just how amazing this little thing was.
...
Fu Yunchen came over.
Seeing that he was alone, Mu Run asked, "Where is Junior Brother Yong Li?"
"He went back."
"go back?"
"Kunlun".
"It's Mid-Autumn Festival today, we're supposed to celebrate together, why did they leave?"
“I kept him here, but he’s a bit shy. He gets very nervous in a lot of people, and he probably can’t even sit still, let alone eat.”
Thinking of how Yong Li was surrounded by children, Mu Run smiled and said, "That's right. So what did he want to see you about?"
"I'll still go back to Kunlun for my junior sister's wedding. I've agreed." Fu Yunchen looked at her. "You and the children will come with me."
Mu Run glanced at the newly delivered memorials on the table. "Forget it, I'll stay in the palace."
"No, I'm worried about your safety." Fu Yunchen didn't allow her to argue. "To me, your safety and the children's safety are more important than anything else."
"But……"
"It's time to take you and the children to see the Master."
"Alright then." Mu Run nodded in agreement, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen at that time.
"By the way, Cha Bao said that there is a very powerful evil aura inside Junior Brother Yong Li's body. Are you aware of this?"
"Evil spirits?" Fu Yunchen looked at Cha Bao.
Cha Bao scratched his ear and said to Fu Yunchen, "I don't know what he is either. Maybe the mountain god of Kunlun Mountain knows, after all, he's on his mountain."
“I will write to my master about this and ask him if he knows about it.”
...
After leaving the palace, Yongli hired a carriage by the roadside and headed towards the city gate.
Along the way, looking at the bustling streets and the passersby, Yong Li asked the coachman, "What do you think of Chongming Kingdom?"
The coachman didn't understand his meaning for a moment. Everyone lived in Chongming Kingdom, so he knew what it was like, unless, "Brother, aren't you from Chongming Kingdom?"
Yong Li nodded, "I came down from Kunlun Mountain, I am a hermit."
The driver suddenly realized, "So you're a Taoist priest, my apologies for not recognizing you."
Yong Li was a little embarrassed. "I'm ashamed."
The coachman continued, “If the Taoist priest wants to ask about our Chongming Kingdom, that would be perfect. I was originally from the Northern Jin Dynasty, but I fled here. I thought that because I was from the Northern Jin, I would be registered as a lowly person or a slave and be used as the lowest-ranking slave. Unexpectedly, everyone is treated equally now. No matter who you were before, as long as you are willing to register in the Chongming Kingdom, you are a citizen of Chongming. You are given houses and land, and you are not taxed. I have settled down here and I am reluctant to leave. Some people who were transferred to other towns have not only houses and land, but also several shops and mansions.”
