I asked you to tell divination, but I didn’t ask you to catch ghosts.

"Wouldn't that mean that they would starve to death?" Xie Zhiyao frowned. With so many contestants, could it be that all of them could not escape the fate of starving to death?

No wonder I saw many people squatting on the ground with a bowl in front of them. Those were the people who had lost before. Because they could only work for free, they were reduced to begging for food.

"After you starve to death, you will become the nourishment of the City of the Past. Otherwise, why do you think the City of the Past is so prosperous?" the guard said expressionlessly.

For some reason, Xie Zhiyao always felt that these guards looked weird, like humans but not human, and their movements were also very stiff, as if they were made puppets.

The City Lord's Mansion is the largest house in the city. I followed the guards through the gardens and many pavilions before arriving at the place where the City Lord was.

And I don’t know why, it’s daytime inside the City Lord’s Mansion, but after crossing the threshold and going out, it’s night outside!

"Why is his house so big?" After the others left, Xie Zhiyao stood on the railing and looked down. There were colorful ornamental fish inside.

That’s outrageous! It was really colorful. She always thought that there were only three types of ornamental fish in the lake: red, white, and black, but there were actually blue, purple, and green here?

"After all, he is the city lord of the City of the Past. The whole city belongs to him. What's wrong with living in a bigger place?" Ye Fan leaned on the railing and didn't know what kind of person this city lord was and whether he could talk easily.

If you tell him that you want to take away the artifact, I don't know if he will agree. Ye Fan sighed, and he would definitely be unwilling. If he had such an artifact and such a big city.

How could it be given to someone else? It doesn't even give people a chance to reverie, let alone come to talk to them now.

"But it's too big. Wouldn't he get lost? Won't he find his concubine's room?" Xie Zhiyao asked doubtfully. She didn't understand people who lived in a big house.

"Aren't there servants to lead the way? With so many servants, all of them are living on dry food?" Ye Fan said speechlessly. He really didn't know what was going on in Xie Zhiyao's mind!

It’s already this time, and I’m still thinking about those messy things!

"I haven't married yet, and I don't have a concubine yet, so what you just said doesn't hold true."

A clear voice came, and the two of them turned around in embarrassment. They were talking about people behind their backs. What if they were caught? Waiting online, it’s very urgent!

The person who came was wearing black clothes with a flying phoenix embroidered with gold thread, and a white mask on his face.

"Are you the city lord of the City of the Past?" Xie Zhiyao asked curiously. She didn't expect the city lord to be so young?

"Yes, as the winner this time, what do you want? No matter what your wish is, I will satisfy you." The city lord sat on the Taishi chair and looked at the two of them calmly.

Will all wishes be fulfilled? Xie Zhiyao wanted to take Ah Xuan away, but when she was about to speak, she was overtaken by Ye Fan.

"We want the artifact from the City of the Past, is the city lord willing to give it to us?" Ye Fan stared directly at the City of the Past, the city lord's eyes. If the other party wanted to attack, he would immediately escape with Xie Zhiyao!

"The artifact is related to the entire City of the Past. If the artifact is taken away, the people in the entire City of the Past will be wiped out. Do you still want to take the artifact away?" The city owner looked at the two with a half-smile.

In the past, many people came to him to ask for the artifact after winning. Some people gave up the idea after knowing that the entire city of the past would be wiped out.

After all, there are people who can save a city, but some people choose to leave with the artifact. Unfortunately, before they can leave the city gate, they are crushed by those in the city who want to live.

If the cost of taking away the artifact is the people of a city, it is absolutely impossible for Ye Fan to do such a thing! He wouldn't sacrifice people's lives back then, and he won't do it now either!

"The city lord shouldn't let anyone take the artifact away, right? I feel that if the artifact is placed with the city lord, it will be safer than with us." Xie Zhiyao has no intention of asking for the artifact. Maybe he will be robbed by the ambushed evil cultivators as soon as he leaves the city. Walk.

"Oh? Why do you think so?" The city lord looked at Xie Zhiyao doubtfully. People in the past would either take it away or give it up, but no one had ever said that it was safest to keep it by his side. "After all these years, the fact that the artifact is still in the hands of the city lord shows everything." Is there anything else that needs to be said? For so many years since ancient times, evil cultivators have come here every year, but they have never succeeded!

Doesn’t this mean that the city lord of the City of the Past is not a vegetarian! There is no way to take the artifact from him!

"You are right. Not everyone can take away the artifact. The City of Rebirth was originally built to provide shelter for the lonely souls in the war. Reincarnation in the underworld is inherently slow, but there are too many lonely souls. I can wait in the City of the Past." The city lord said helplessly.

"Then can I take someone away? I said, if I win and get my wish, I will take him out of the City of Rebirth." Xie Zhiyao didn't know if the city lord would agree, but since she had promised Ah Xuan, You can't just keep your word.

I just don’t know where Ah Xuan is now. Why don’t you ask the city lord to help find someone? Xie Zhiyao is thinking about whether it can be done.

"People in the City of the Past cannot go out with others casually, so you'd better change your wish." The city lord said with narrowed eyes.

"Why? Since Ah Xuan wants to go out, can't we let him go out and have a look?" Xie Zhiyao frowned. Since Ah Xuan has already agreed, why can't he just go out with others?

"Are you really going to take him away? Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?" The city lord asked doubtfully, why are you so obsessed with taking A Xuan away?

I have never met such a person before. Either he is seeking wealth or sex, he is seeking wealth and a happy life.

This is the first time that someone wants to leave with people from the City of the Past.

"What trouble could there be?" Xie Zhiyao asked in confusion. The people in the City of the Past have all been dead for many years. Is it possible that they will be hunted down after leaving?

"There are a lot of troubles. First the underworld will cause trouble for you, and then the evil cultivators will cause trouble for you." The city lord turned the ring on his finger.

The hands were very slender. Xie Zhiyao was stunned. She seemed to have seen these hands before. Where did she see them? Why can't I remember?

"I have acquaintances in the underworld, so I am not afraid. Since the evil cultivators are looking for trouble, then I will send them to a place where there will be no trouble." Xie Zhiyao found that the city lord's hands were exactly the same as Ah Xuan's. Could it be that Ah Xuan and the city lord were two different people? brother?

How can it be? Ah Xuan was dressed in tatters, like a beggar, but the city lord was wearing fine silk and satin!

"If that's the case, then I'll let him go with you. He'll be waiting for you at the gate." The city lord stood up and left the pavilion.

"If I had known it earlier, I might as well have built a golden mountain. Wouldn't your Taoist temple and my temple be solved in this way?" Ye Fan said regretfully. Who knows the feeling of missing a golden mountain!

Since you can’t get the artifact, you need money! In the end, he actually hired another person. Was it because he thought he was making a lot of money?

"But the lanterns were made by Ah Xuan. Since we can't get what we want, we will give our wishes to Ah Xuan. He wants to leave here!" Xie Zhiyao said firmly.

"How do you know he wants to leave? Since the City of the Past is a place he is familiar with, why would he leave with you, a person he has known for less than a few hours?" Ye Fan asked speechlessly.
