Chapter 760 The Supernatural World (8)
Wangyou found her quite strange. Deep down, she wanted to accumulate merit, but in essence, she seemed to be very indifferent to life.
Wangyou thought about it and figured that she was probably just a very cold-hearted person, but so what? As long as she was happy.
And so, carefree and without any burdens, she went back to her room, put up an airtight talisman and a purification talisman, and then fell asleep immediately.
That night, the entire Wu'an Kingdom was in turmoil. Some were devoured by evil spirits in the darkness, some used their ancestral tablets to ward off the evil spirits' attacks, and some, lacking good magical artifacts, lost their entire families in this night of a hundred ghosts.
The family next door, whom Wangyou had rescued, didn't dare to sleep anymore. The family quietly gathered together, waiting for the dawn. They didn't hear the screams around them, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
The next day, everyone carefully opened the door. Bloodstains were everywhere, and the survivors couldn't help but burst into tears.
But sadness is useless, because life must go on.
Everyone worked together to clean up the bloodstains on the ground and put everything that had been blown over by the wind back in its place. Three days later, everything was restored to normal.
Wangyou ate the breakfast delivered from next door while listening to the gossip around her.
On July 15th, one Celestial Mystic Master died in battle, and the rest of the Mystic Masters were injured to varying degrees. Most importantly, many families' Mystic Artifacts were destroyed, and many Mystic Masters' businesses suddenly improved a lot.
The reason for the urgency is that ghost attacks happen on ordinary days, but they are never as massive as the one on the fifteenth of July.
Wangyou really didn't know about this, after all, she didn't seem to have seen many ghosts in the places she lived in, and it was the same when she lived in the Shi family for several years. Moreover, she didn't hear of anyone in the Shi family being eaten by ghosts during those years.
"Master, do you sell mystical artifacts?"
"It depends on my mood!"
"Would you sell your amulet or talisman?"
"You want to buy it?"
“The ancestral tablets we worshipped at home were damaged, and the ancestral tablets were also cracked. We bought these to put our minds at ease.”
"Okay, fifty taels of silver per talisman, no bargaining." This price is quite high for Wangyou; the most expensive peace talismans sold on the market are only ten taels of silver each.
"Okay." Ding Chengxin gritted his teeth and didn't haggle. "I'll buy three."
"Then wait a moment. Fifty taels is not a loss. You'll see later." Wangyou took out paper and pen, and in less than ten seconds, she had drawn three protective talismans.
"Here you go, three amulets. As for the rest, come back when you have more money!"
"Thank you, Master."
As soon as he received the amulet, Ding Chengxin immediately sensed something different. He then bowed respectfully and quickly left.
Three talismans are enough for the Ding family of four: one for Ding Chengxin's mother, one for his wife, and one for himself. As for his son, who is still young, they can save up and buy him another one.
After seeing Ding Chengxin off, Wangyou felt a bit bored, so she decided to take a stroll in the street.
There have been quite a few mystical masters setting up stalls on the street these past few days, selling or offering mystical artifacts. However, most of them don't have any real skills and are just swindlers, but some people still want to take a chance.
Wangyou saw a wood carving shop, and the wood carvings inside were so lifelike that it was clear that the shop owner had excellent skills.
It's a bit of a pity that these wood carvings lack spiritual energy. If they could be imbued with spirit, the effect would be quite different.
"Little sister, would you like to buy a wood carving?"
"Hmm, I'll come in and take a look." Wangyou suddenly heard a strange sound.
"System, system, this little girl is so pretty. If she were in our country, she could definitely debut as a child star."
"Host, be careful. This guy seems to be a big shot. Don't mess with him."
"Who are you talking to?" Wangyou asked curiously.
A mechanical sound rang out, as if something had caught fire, followed by the terrified voice of the mechanical voice.
"Boss, I swear to God, I have never done anything heinous." The young man knelt down smoothly and said.
“You don’t need to kneel. I’m just curious about what’s in your head. You don’t have any karmic burdens,” Wangyou said strangely.
"You can hear our conversation," the boy said, almost in tears.
"I can hear it, it's a mechanical sound, and it doesn't sound good."
"Hey, I haven't leveled up yet. The system said it would level up once I upgraded my wood carving skills to master level, but in this damn world, even wood carving skills won't save my life!" Seeing that there was no real threat, the boy blurted everything out.
"It must be because you're not capable enough, otherwise you wouldn't have been unable to save your life." Wangyou casually picked up a small wooden cat from the table and imbued it with a spirit.
In the blink of an eye, a little white cat appeared in front of the two of them. "I like the look of you, so I'll keep you here to save your life!"
"Really, thank you so much, boss!" the boy said happily.
"System, look at you. Other people's systems learn on their own, but I have to learn step by step. Do you know how hard it has been for me all these years just to stay alive?" The boy picked up the white cat and complained to the system in his mind.
"Only what you learn through your own experience truly belongs to you. What the system can directly impart to you can also be taken back. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," Wangyou couldn't help but say.
"Master, are you really only five or six years old?"
"Yes, is there a problem? Can you carve pendants? I want a pendant with the twelve zodiac animals."
"Yes, I have a set right now. See if you like it." The boy said, quickly taking a box out of the drawer.
Wangyou opened them one by one and looked at them. They were all small, about the size of an adult's thumb, but each one was very exquisite.
"I'll take them all. Name your price."
“I’m giving it to you. You gave me a cat to save my life. I lack everything, except for wood carvings.”
"I promised to give it to you, so I'll give it to you. It's not an exchange. Or, I can give you another spirit." Wangyou said with a smile.
"Then I shall humbly accept your offer." The young man chuckled as he took down the top dragon ornament. "Master, may I imbue it with a spirit?"
"It's possible, but this is a dragon. If a dragon is possessed by a spirit, it won't be controlled by mortals. You should choose something else."
"Listen to the big boss, you want a dragon to command? You're dreaming." The system's voice rang in the boy's mind.
"Shut up, I have no dignity." After picking and choosing, the boy finally selected a tiger figurine.
Wangyou didn't speak, but shook her head and imbued the tiger with a spirit. Soon, a majestic tiger appeared. Wangyou took a drop of the boy's blood and dripped it into the tiger's forehead.
"I can understand what it's saying!"
"Alright, I've taken the things. See you again sometime." Wangyou quickly left with the box containing the twelve zodiac animals.
"You walked so fast, I forgot to introduce myself to the big boss, and I don't even know your name!" The boy chased after her but could no longer find the small figure.
