Chapter 850: The Goddess of the Western Wild
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the people heard that, they were excited and fantasized about having such a fortuitous encounter with the goddess.
The story of the Goddess of the Western Wild was a story that had been spread in all the restaurants in the three dynasties recently and was deeply liked by people.
Hu Yu, who liked to listen to stories, surely wouldn’t miss out on it.
After everyone dispersed, Hu Yu followed the storyteller. When he returned home, his mother called out, “You’re back. Come and eat.”
The storyteller smiled. “Okay, coming.”
Hu Yu lay on the eaves and listened.
There was a mother and son in the room.
The mother and son chatted as they ate.
The storyteller asked first, “Mother, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”
The old woman smiled and said, “With the protection of the goddess, I feel the best I’ve ever been.”
The storyteller smiled. “It’s good. Now that the goddess has a good reputation in the capital, there will be more and more people who believe in her.”
The old woman nodded. “Of course. The goddess is omnipotent. Our lives will get better and better.”
The more Hu Yu listened, the more suspicious she became. She felt that there was something wrong with this mother and son. She used her Yin Yang Eyes to investigate and saw that the storyteller and his mother were actually surrounded by spiritual qi.
Ordinary people could not possibly retain spiritual qi.
Hu Yu could not sit still. She immediately jumped down from the eaves and knocked on the door.
She disguised herself as a man. Soon, the storyteller opened the door.
Hu Yu quickly bowed. “Brother, you have to help.”
The storyteller looked confused, but he subconsciously held Hu Yu. “Brother, tell me first. I won’t know if 1 can help or not until 1 hear it.”
Hu Yu quickly came up with a lie, “Brother, my wife is nine months pregnant. Her stomach is surprisingly big. However, the midwife said that she is likely to have a miscarriage. Even if she survives this miscarriage, she will never be able to get pregnant again in her life. 1 accidentally heard you tell a story. You know that goddess so well. You must know her, right…”
“Please save my wife who…”
Hu Yu blinked and squeezed out a few tears.
The storyteller was immediately moved. “Brother, the goddess of the Western Wild is far away in the Divine Mountain, but I have her statue. Take it back and worship it. With the blessing of the goddess, your wife will definitely be able to give birth safely.”
Hu Yu’s acting was flawless. The storyteller did not suspect anything. After he agreed, his mother went to the house and brought out a wooden statue.
The storyteller took it with both hands respectfully. He looked at the wooden statue with a devout expression.
Although Hu Yu despised it, in order not to let the storyteller see any flaws, she lowered her head and took it with her hands.
The storyteller was very satisfied with her sincere and respectful attitude. He placed the wooden statue in Hu Yu’s hand and said, “Take the statue of the goddess back to worship it. Believe me, your wife will be safe. At that time, don’t forget to thank the goddess with your most sincere heart.”
Hu Yu looked at the wooden statue and did not see anything special about it. She hugged the wooden statue and nodded. “Thank you, thank you. You’re really good people.”
After thanking him profusely, Hu Yu left.
The storyteller closed the door in satisfaction and returned to the house with his mother.
Hu Yu held the wooden statue and couldn’t help but think to herself, “Can this thing really be so magical?”
Hu Yu rolled her eyes and thought to herself, “If you are really that magical, then give me two roast chickens to eat.”
Hu Yu held the wooden statue and looked around. Nothing happened. She smiled and was about to throw the wooden statue away when something fell in front of her with a thud.
Hu Yu put the wooden statue in her sleeve and squatted down to pick up the thing on the ground. The fragrance of roasted chicken wafted over, and it was still warm.
Hu Yu was surprised. If she made a wish to immediately ascend to immortality, would it also be fulfilled?
As she munched on the drumstick, she thought to herself, “I want to become an immortal, I want to become an immortal.”
Suddenly, something fell from her sleeve.
Hu Yu took a closer look and saw that it was actually the head of the statue…
Hu Yu was speechless.
After picking up the head, Hu Yu ate the roasted chicken dejectedly and went back.
After returning to the mansion, Hu Yu immediately shouted, “Venerable, I found something interesting.”
Lin Jie’s hand that was drawing the talisman paused. Hu Yu passed by Lin Jie and put down the chicken. “Poor Jie, look what 1 brought you. Eat some.”
Hu Yu took out the wooden statue and placed it in front of Liu Sanniang. “Venerable, look at this wooden statue.”
The head of the wooden statue was separated, but when the head was placed on the body, it was still extremely lifelike.
Liu Sanniang reached out and picked up the wooden statue. “Where did you get it?”
Hu Yu replied, “1 took it back from a storyteller. 1 lied to him and said that my wife was about to give birth and wanted the blessing of the goddess.”
Hu Yu pointed at the wooden statue. “This wooden statue is indeed very magical. It can read people’s minds and fulfill their wishes. On the way, I said that I wanted to eat roasted chicken and roasted chicken fell in front of me. Venerable, don’t you think it’s magical?”
Liu Yuanyuan was also interested. No wonder Hu Yu came back with roasted chicken. Was it really that magical?
Liu Yuanyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Then why was the head separated? Did you do it on purpose?”
Hu Yu quickly waved her hand. “I didn’t. I don’t know why this happened either. When 1 made a wish to become immortal, the head fell off…”
Hu Yu shrugged. “You can’t blame me for this.”
The strangeness of the wooden statue made Hu Yu feel that it seemed to have a life of its own. Because it couldn’t fulfill the wish, it was so ashamed that its head fell off.
However, no matter how she looked at it, there was nothing special about this wooden statue. It did not have a life, nor was there anything bad about it. It was as if it was just an ordinary wooden statue.
“This is a carrier that absorbs people’s faith.”
Liu Sanniang put down the wooden statue. When she held the wooden statue in her hand, she could feel countless wooden statues drawing in countless faiths. The wooden statue itself was nothing special, so Liu Sanniang was sure that it was just a carrier.
Hu Yu was stunned. “That way, won’t people have to pay a price for making a wish? Fortunately, my wish of becoming an immortal wasn’t fulfilled. Otherwise, 1 couldn’t imagine the consequences..”
