Chapter 29: Joyful Bride Master
Thump, thump.
A figure appeared on the stairs, dressed in a coarse linen robe, with a worn eyepatch around their neck.
Shi Ji and Wen Chao, along with the Su sisters, were shocked. They hadn't expected this person to still be alive!
Wu Xian, however, showed a hint of joy.
The woman who had just appeared was Yue Mei, who had gone missing earlier and lived in Room 408. Her clothes were much simpler, but she looked more beautiful than before, her skin a shade lighter, and she carried herself with much more confidence.
Since Yue Mei had appeared, it meant his suggestion was correct – there was a way to survive outside the inn!
He looked expectantly at Yue Mei. "Tell us, what's your method?"
But recently, bodies had been frequently disappearing from Ping'an Hostel. Faking one's death under such circumstances was like an old man hanging himself, courting death.
However, he searched several times but found nothing.
Although she was being mysterious.
Heavenly Official - Joyful Bride Master God
Given the current situation, anyone who could increase their strength even a little would be beneficial to everyone.
What if a quantitative change could lead to a qualitative one?
There were three more in the shape of books, all divine abilities: 'Golden Crow Feather', 'Entering the Devil', and 'Yin Yang Eyes'.
In the notes Qi Zhiyong had given him, there was information about this god statue. Worshipping the Joyful Bride Master could grant talismans with the suffix 'technique'.
Yue Mei's face showed an unreadable expression. "Are you interested in learning about our savior, the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother?"
It was still daylight, and everyone went to find god statues to increase their strength.
This meant that as long as one had Underworld Money, anyone could use this god statue. Wu Xian thought for a moment and removed all his concealment of the god statue.
Wu Xian, carrying Underworld Money, began his first shopping trip in the blessed land. He placed a ten-denomination Underworld Money bill into the mouth of the god statue's head.
Finally, there were two magical artifacts: a Pure Dusting Brush and a Peach Wood Sword.
Heh heh, not too late!
Nine balls of golden light were displayed on the stall.
On the first morning in the blessed land, Wu Xian saw an advertisement on the opposite building showing a man with his internal organs removed.
But she only said she had a way to solve their predicament, keeping the specific method secret. All they knew was that it was related to the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother, and the details would be announced that night.
Afterward, Wu Xian searched nearby, hoping to find another god statue or encounter a minor evil spirit.
He realized there was one more place that might hide a god statue.
After the transaction was complete, the wooden board and cloth strips retracted.
Wu Xian's scalp suddenly tingled. He took out his phone and took a selfie, only to discover that several golden hairs had gotten mixed into his hair. At the same time, the internal fire within his body felt much hotter than before.
This 'Empowerment Technique' could be used on the 'True Fire Incantation'.
'Yin Yang Eyes' wasn't very useful either, as the evil spirits in this blessed land could already be seen directly.
The effect of 'Sharpness Talisman' was to make an item sharper, while 'Golden Light Incantation' released a beam of golden light to attack enemies. Wu Xian abandoned these two talismans first.
As for the last one, 'Golden Crow Feather', Wu Xian's chest hair had already taken the shape of a Golden Crow...
Among these three divine abilities, 'Entering the Devil' was likely the strongest, but its negative effects were also the most terrifying. It was possible to completely lose one's mind after entering the devil, so Wu Xian wasn't considering it.
The character was forced to reach into a narrow, dark place, only to be ambushed by a ghost hiding inside, resulting in being cut, minced, roasted, or dragged in – any absurd thing could happen.
'Empowerment Technique' was somewhat interesting.
He rushed to the building opposite the inn, all the way to the fourth floor, and kicked open the door.
All the items here cost 70 Underworld Money. Wu Xian originally had 210, but he spent 10 Underworld Money to open the shop, meaning he could only afford two items and needed to consider carefully.
This god statue was in the form of a woman, wearing a phoenix crown and cloud dress, holding a red chain in her hands. At each end of the chain was a metal collar. Beneath the veil of the phoenix crown was a face without features.
Slurp!
Four of them were talismans: 'Sharpness Talisman', 'Golden Light Incantation', 'Empowerment Technique', and 'Decapitation Regeneration Technique'.
If others had Underworld Money, let them use it.
Suddenly, Wu Xian had an inspiration.
Wu Xian used his detective skills and searched the room in the shortest possible time. Finally, in the oven of the integrated cooker in the kitchen, he found a god statue about thirty centimeters tall.
It could upgrade any low-grade talisman to mid-grade, and the upgraded talisman could recover its usage count. Wu Xian pondered for a moment and then fished out this 'Empowerment Technique' from the golden light.
This was a spell targeting oneself. After using it, being decapitated would not be fatal; picking up the head and reattaching it to the neck would revive the user. It was very useful for faking death.
The location of this god statue was too cramped and narrow to perform the worship.
After buying 'Empowerment Technique', Wu Xian was left with only 130 Underworld Money. He looked at the remaining three divine abilities.
But what puzzled Wu Xian was.
The name of the god statue was written on the divine seat.
The Buddha's head sucked in the underworld money as if eating noodles. Then the base of the god statue opened, and wooden strips and cloth pieces emerged, quickly forming a small stall.
Next was the decapitation regeneration technique.
In the horror movies he had watched, one type of plot was enduring.
At that time, Wu Xian hadn't paid much attention. Now that he thought about it, this man's existence proved that a tragic evil spirit incident had occurred in the room behind the billboard.
But Wu Xian was surprised to find that the Many Treasures Tathagata god statue did not disappear like the other god statues.
Wu Xian first ruled out magical artifacts. He didn't need the pure dusting brush, and the peach wood sword's function overlapped with the copper coin sword, so it was not under consideration.
Yin Yang Eyes: Eyes that pierce yin and yang, can see ghosts and spirits, and perceive the netherworld.
Then he looked at the talismans.
The copper coin sword didn't need to be sharp, and the golden light incantation's effect overlapped with the true fire incantation.
But the mere fact that she was still alive was enough to overshadow Wu Xian's plan, so they could only choose to follow Yue Mei's plan.
If you guys think this book is okay, please leave a good review in the comment section and trick... cough, fool... um, recommend it to other readers.
Entering the Devil: Stealing wisdom and life, destroying Dao methods, merits and good deeds are the root, hence the name devil. Those who enter the devil are frenzied, their bones and muscles mutate, they do not obey heavenly principles or ethics, and resemble evil spirits.
Yue Mei's appearance brought a way out for everyone in despair.
The blessed land had limited space. Easily accessible places had already been thoroughly searched. Even if there were still god statues hidden, they wouldn't be easy to find.
So Wu Xian could only raise his vigilance to the highest level and carefully reach his hand into the integrated cooker.
Wu Xian pulled out a piece of underworld money and placed it on the god statue.
Third floor of Ping'an Hostel.
After much thought, Wu Xian chose the Golden Crow Feather again.
And in such places, god statues or useful miscellaneous items were most likely to exist!
The choice of divine abilities was different from talismans and magical artifacts. There was no physical object in the golden light. When Wu Xian's hand pressed into it, a warm current flowed into his body.
Also, I hope everyone will leave more reviews and communicate more, hehehe.
