Overview
Myst's Tavern in Pangzhen is where the shopkeeper Shopkeeper Niu works.
He serves a practical purpose. Soul receives the Huang Manor Key, which unlocks Huang Manor, from him, and returns to him afterwards to find out where a vanished brother was last seen.
He is also upset, judging by what he says, about what became of a man called Huang, and he wants Soul to bring that man to justice.
Role in the Story
Huang Manor's Key
Niu gives the Huang Manor Key to Soul at Myst's Tavern. Entering Huang Manor with it, Soul finds Xiu's belongings in the upstairs bedroom, along with a Memory Flower that kicks off the tale A Brother Once More.
When the manor has been visited, Niu reveals that Jin, Xiu's brother, was spotted for the last time around Meigu Lake. Soul is thereby sent to the Village of Lu Shallows Dock to confront Grief-Stricken Jin.
His Words on Huang
Niu remembers swearing he would never again enter Huang's home, and later being told that Huang's maids had become wooden puppets and ripped him apart. He claims a fourth concubine changed Huang for good, and he requests that Soul make sure Huang is given justice.
