The land of silver and music is also called " Yinyue ".
The city named Changbai in Yinyue was bustling on the streets. People were coming to Changbai from far and wide to be a part of a very big festival.
As Yinyue is known for silver and music, to preserve its name and glory, a festival is held here which is held only once a year.
This festival is celebrated with great pomp and beauty, that is why this festival is discussed all over the world and people from far and wide come here every year to be a part of it.
In this festival everyone wears white clothes. After this, anyone who is interested can showcase their musical talent on stage in front of the Emperor and the rest of the public. And whoever's performance Emperor likes the most, he will reward him.
The festival was to be held after 3 days and the preparations had already begun. The streets of Changbai were very busy and all the hotels were full of people, there was not a single room vacant in any good hotel that could be rented.
Then a tall and broad man who was wearing very dirty clothes, half of his hair was open and half was tied in a bun which looked very messy as if this person had not combed his head for many days. He was carrying a cloth bundle in his hand which probably contained some of his belongings and there was a lot of dirt on his face, dust on his hands and clothes as if he had not bathed for a long time.
He was walking in the middle of the road and all the people who were seeing him were moving away from him because firstly he was so dirty and secondly he was looking different from everyone else in the crowd. He looked very tall and scary. Then suddenly a man who was in a hurry did not see the scary man whom people thought was a beggar and he collided with him and was about to fall backwards but then he regained his balance And he looked at the man's face and was about to say something to him but he stopped speaking after seeing his scary face, The man was about to leave without saying anything but the scary man suddenly stopped him due to which the man chokes in fear as if something is stuck in his throat and curses himself for colliding with this man. Many scary thoughts were coming into the man's mind, but his train of thoughts stopped when he heard the voice of that scary man.
" Excuse me can you tell me if there is any hotel to stay nearby?"
His voice was very deep and harsh, hearing which the man trembled with fear once again.
After this the man pointed towards a street with his hand and said that he could find many hotels to stay there. And as soon as the scary man looked in that direction, he immediately ran away from there without looking back.
The scary man's name is Wang Xifeng. He also did not pay attention to the man who had left and went to the direction the man had told him to find a hotel. Most of the other people who were looking at him had turned their attention away from him and started doing their work again and there were some people who were still looking at him.
Now Xifeng had come quite a distance along the street and soon he saw a hotel. After this, Xifeng went inside the hotel and once again the people present there started looking at him but this time a hotel staff went to him and took him aside and asked what he wanted.
can I get a room to stay here?" Xifeng asked in his calm and deep voice.
Hearing his words, the staff felt like laughing. He wondered if the man standing in front of him was even worthy of coming to such a place? But he did not say anything because the man looked scary.
No sir, we do not have any vacant rooms, that is why we cannot give you any room to stay. After saying this the staff thought that even if the room was vacant he would not have allowed him to stay there because the rooms here were beyond the means of this man. And they don't want to ruin the reputation of their hotel by giving a room to a beggar.
Looking at the expression on the face of the man standing in front of him, Xifeng understood what he must be thinking right now, so Xifeng interrupted his thoughts and said.
I don't want to stay here for free. I'll pay for it. After saying this, Xifeng showed the staff some gold coins he had in his hand.
Despite his requests, the staff did not allow Xifeng to stay there any longer and asked him to leave the hotel. Xifeng didn't argue much and walked out.
Now he started walking again in the hope of going to some other hotel. But he also knew that someone was following him. He doesn't know what the man following him wants from him but Xifeng was waiting for him to do something
But his wait soon ended as soon as he reached a deserted road and the man who was following him attacked him as soon as he got the chance.
The man stabbed Xifeng from behind and took away the gold coins in his hand.
Before the man could run away from there, it seemed to him as if his steps were not moving forward. And as he looked back at Xifeng, his eyes widened in shock, Because at this moment Xifeng looked very scary, his eyes were completely red and black smoke was hovering around him as if he was from another world.
The next moment, the man's throat was in Xifeng's hands and the man was gasping for his last breath, Before closing his eyes, the man thought that a few days ago he had told the story of the Beast King to some young costomer's , but he had not expected that he would meet the Beast King so soon.
Because now he has found out that the man holding his throat is the fearsome king known as Wu Huo Wang. He was cursing the moment when he had no idea that this beggar-like looking man was Wu Huo Wang, and he became greedy after seeing the gold coin in his hand. He did not get the gold coins but he definitely got a painful death at the hands of Wu Huo Wang. Because right now he felt as if someone was pricking needles into his body, someone was pulling his hair and as if his body had become stiff and suddenly he felt very thirsty.
He felt as if he was thirsty for ages, he was yearning for breath, thinking all this the man closed his eyes and now he was dead.
On the other hand, a fellow staff member was watching the whole incident.
Earlier, the man had talked to his fellow staff member about going to rob gold coins but he had refused to go with him. But somewhere in his mind there was greed too, so he secretly followed his fellow staff. But as soon as he saw his fellow staff dying at the hands of someone else, he got scared and did not have the courage to go and save his fellow staff.
After this the man immediately ran towards the place where preparations for the festival were going on and some soldiers of the palace were guarding the work there.
After reaching there, the man told the soldiers about the whole incident, Upon hearing his words, the soldier didn't wait for a moment and immediately started walking towards where Xifeng was.
On the other hand, Xifeng had already found out that someone had seen him commit the murder and was coming with some soldiers to arrest him.
Xifeng didn't mind being arrested. He thought he was looking for a hotel to stay in anyway. If he could stay in prison and relax, it would be good for him.
I did not kill that man because he was stealing my gold coins but I killed him because the dagger with which he stabbed me had a special kind of poison in and that's what made me most angry, I know that poison very well and I will kill anyone who know about that poison because they don't deserve to live. Xifeng thought to himself and let go of the corpse, causing the man's body to fall to the ground with a thud.
After this the soldiers came and took Xifeng with them to the Emperor's palace. Xifeng didn't say anything to them and went with them. Now the emperor can punish him as he wishes.
