Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 649: Strange Things in the Capital (Part 743)

The demons entering the imperial court will not only disrupt state order, but the demons themselves also have a physique that attracts ghosts.

Coupled with the fact that there were some man-eating monsters in the city before, this led to even more resentment in the city, and all kinds of evil creatures and ghosts naturally emerged.

In fact, the technological level of this Ming Dynasty is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty where a certain high-ranking Jinyiwei commander came from.

Although they have not been widely used or promoted, some of the high-end technologies here have indeed reached the level of the First Industrial Revolution in someone's hometown.

Even in some cutting-edge "laboratories", you can see some gadgets from the early days of the Second Industrial Revolution.

Especially in terms of weapons, the development here is relatively advanced, with breech-loading rifles, fixed ammunition, and even semi-automatic weapons appearing.

Automatic weapons also have prototypes and experimental models.

However, it still cannot be mass-produced.

People still used kerosene for lighting, and there was no electricity at all, at least in Jiangbao, or Wuyun, where Wuyun lived.

Although steam engines have been put into civilian use in some places, some well-informed people in the capital have more or less heard of this thing.

But for most people today, the "steam engine" is meaningless.

But after all, it was ancient times, and there was actually a lack of entertainment options.

However, Wu Yun had no objection to this because he had many ways and means of entertainment.

This world is bizarre and full of monsters and demons from the old society, real "monsters and demons".

In Wu Yun’s hometown, heaven and hell do not exist. In any case, the old humans couldn’t find them even after searching through the universe.

As for demons and monsters, there are none either. They are all aliens.

Some people have souls after reincarnation, but this thing basically exists in the universe, so it is not surprising.

Moreover, there is no underworld organization that "commands" and "controls reincarnation" here.

Because of the invention of the steam engine, some daily necessities have also appeared at this time, such as water heaters.

Of course, not an electric water heater.

The first thing Wu Yun did after returning home was to take a shower. He had been busy all afternoon.

Although I didn't sweat much, I was covered in dust.

Wu Yun was sitting in the large bathtub in the bathroom, with a stone pillow behind his neck, a towel draped over his back, and his hair disheveled. Needless to say, the expression on his face showed that he was enjoying it very much.

The renovation of this bathroom didn't cost much. After all, he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he could easily take all kinds of useful things in the Jinyiwei laboratory.

However, buying a house still costs money.

Being a Taoist priest is a very profitable profession. Although Wu Yun is a fake Taoist priest, he has the ability. Otherwise, he would not be able to make money.

Moreover, he has no negative reviews.

Wu Yun did not see the things hanging on the door panel of his house when he entered, and he could not see them.

Wu Yun would only feel a little bit when those evil spirits had the intention to attack him.

After all, there are no monsters or ghosts in his hometown, so it is impossible to see them.

Well, he could, if he wanted to.

The bathroom in Wu Yun's home in the capital of the Ming Dynasty is located on the far left side of the main house, and outside the window directly facing the bathtub is his family's yard.

His house is not big, with a yard of about 200 square meters, a one-story main house of nearly 200 square meters, and a pear tree planted in the middle of the yard.

There are several stools, a stone table and a lounge chair in the yard.

He would sleep in his own yard at night in the summer. It was cool and there were no mosquitoes or flies.

Wu Yun's house was free of insects, whether spiders, ants, flies, mosquitoes or anything else. He only spent ten taels of silver on such a house, which was not cheap.

Good location, good location, and old.

No matter what, he is the deputy commander.

There was a figure outside the window facing the bathtub. Shrouded in the steaming mist, Wu Yun could not see the figure's true face.

"Master Jiang, it's time for dinner." The other party's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh." Wu Yun responded.

The little Taoist priest would cook for Wu Yun at Wu Yun's house, and his cooking skills were quite good.

His name is Zhong Ling, a fairly neutral name, just like everyone else.

"When are you going to get out?"

At mealtime, Wu Yun picked up a chicken leg and put it in his bowl, then looked up and asked Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling's craftsmanship is indeed very good, and Wu Yun is actually quite satisfied with it.

But this guy lives in his own house and doesn't pay rent, and just cooking for him won't cover the rent.

"Why, are you in such a hurry to get me out? But I haven't repaid my benefactor yet." Zhong Ling said with a smile after hearing Wu Yun's very disrespectful words.

As he spoke, he picked up a chicken leg for himself.

Then he was met with Wu Yun's murderous gaze, but Zhong Ling didn't care.

"Maybe in a few days." Zhong Ling said after eating a piece of chicken leg. "After a while, I will leave after I finish my work here."

"That's perfect." Wu Yun had already finished eating the chicken leg while Zhong Ling was talking, and spat the clean chicken bones into the trash can at his feet, then said:
"You just might be able to attend Mr. Huang's birthday banquet."

"Hmm? (Birthday party?)" Zhong Ling looked at Wu Yun and asked vaguely.

"Let's eat first." Wu Yun lowered his head and focused on eating.

"Master Jiang just mentioned a birthday party? What birthday party?" After eating and drinking, it was time to chat.

This

"Yes, a birthday banquet." Wu Yun chatted with Zhong Ling while tapping the dishes on the table:
“It’s Mr. Huang’s 90th birthday this year, and tomorrow is his birthday party.

The Huang family will hold a banquet for four days. Several restaurants in the capital have been booked by their family, and food and drinks will be free for four days.

And I was invited to the Li family mansion for a birthday banquet."

"When did you get invited?" Zhong Ling asked curiously.

"In the morning, when I went out to buy things." Wu Yun took two chopsticks and tapped the bowl rhythmically, like playing a drum.

"Mr. Huang was Niu Yuan... No, Zhu Yuan... No, Taizu. No, Zhu Di... No, no, no, that's not right. He was the late emperor, a personal soldier under the late emperor, and a very prestigious person in the capital. Even the prefect of the capital had to bow to that old Deng when he saw him."

"Old...Pfft..." Zhong Ling couldn't help laughing when she heard Wu Yun's words.

The previous emperor was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's son. He killed his nephew and usurped the throne. Now he was imprisoned by a monster and his power was usurped. Now he is dead.

"How about going out for a meal?" Wu Yun asked.

"Then it would be disrespectful to refuse." Zhong Ling smiled.

The alleys were very quiet at night, but there was something strange about the quietness.

There was only a pair of green eyes on the wall of Wu Yun's house, staring at a room in the courtyard with hatred.

Behind these green eyes are three furry tails.
