Chapter 851: Make a Wish
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While the wooden statue could fulfill your wish, it would also silently take things away from you.
Fortunately, the wish of becoming an immortal was probably too unfeasible that it caused the head of the wooden statue to fall off.
“Now, the story of the goddess of Western Wild is spread throughout the capital. If 1 can get this wooden statue, will others get it too?”
Hu Yu frowned. If that was the case, how chaotic would the world be?
Humans had endless greed and ambition. After making a wish and having it fulfilled, they wouldn’t stop. Today, they might wish to have something to eat. Tomorrow, they would wish for money. After having money, they would want power.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the wooden statue and asked, “How can a wooden statue do so many things?”
Wasn’t this too unbelievable? How did it have such magical power?
Hu Yu thought for a moment. “Simple. 1’11 go get another one.”
Liu Sanniang nodded and said to Hu Yu, “Be careful.”
Hu Yu nodded. “Venerable, don’t worry. This thing is very easy to obtain. After all, the so-called goddess wants her name known. If it was hard to get, no one would know her name.”
Hu Yu quickly went out.
Liu Sanniang walked to Lin Jie’s side. Lin Jie looked up at her. “Shifu.”
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “Good job. Keep it up.”
Lin Jie nodded.
Hu Yu quickly brought back another wooden statue. She placed the wooden statue on the table and said gloomily, “This thing is really strange. My Yin Yang Eyes can’t see through it, but on the way back, I felt that it was bewitching me to make a wish.”
The intact wooden statue was even more lifelike. The goddess’s face was gentle. She had her hands reached out, as if she was tempting people to make a wish.
Hu Yu supported her chin with her hands and looked at the wooden statue. “Do you think if 1 bring ten more back and make a wish to become an immortal, it will succeed?”
Liu Yuanyuan said coldly, “In your dreams. I bet all the heads will fall off.”
Hu Yu smiled. When she thought of that scene, she pursed her lips in disdain.
Liu Sanniang picked up the wooden statue and held it in her hand. The wooden statue began to break and emit black smoke.
Hu Yu immediately jumped far away, covering her nose in disdain.
Liu Yuanyuan also retreated far away.
Liu Sanniang watched as the black smoke disappeared with a calm expression.
Lin Jie frowned. “Shifu, can you take me with you?”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Hu Yu jogged back and grabbed Liu Sanniang’s sleeve. “Venerable, I want to go too.”
“What is that thing? Why is it so evil? 1 don’t want to get stained by it at all. It’s as if 1 will never be able to get rid of it if I get stained. It’s so scary.”
Hu Yu was puzzled. Previously, when she held the wooden statue in her hand, it would try to bewitch her into making a wish. However, in Liu Sanniang’s hand, the wooden statue revealed its true appearance. It was evil, evil that everyone avoided.
It was hard to imagine what would happen if thousands of people had such a thing and worshiped it every day.
“Evil seed,” Liu Sanniang said slwoly.
It was the carrier of the evil seed. There would be thousands of wooden statues. They would end up in the hands of all kinds of people. Everyone who had it would become the target of the evil seed.
This was too terrifying.
Hu Yu’s eyes widened as she said in shock, “This wooden statue seems to be from the Western Wild. 1 heard the storyteller saying that the goddess of the Western Wild is a god who came out of the Divine Mountain of the Western Wild to save people.”
Now, the deeds of the goddess of the Western Wild were circulating everywhere. When everyone who obtained the wooden statue had their wish fulfilled, they would offer even more sincere faith.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “The goddess of the Western Wild is a big tree that produces evil. After she takes root, she will grow crazily, and her believers will continue to spread the evil seeds generation after generation. She is not saving the world, but spreading the evil seed to every nook and corner.”
Liu Sanniang turned around and returned to her room.
Lin Jie also returned to his room.
Hu Yu poked Liu Yuanyuan. “What is Venerable Liu doing?”
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Hu Yu. “Packing up and getting ready to leave. Have you forgotten what Venerable Liu does?”
Hu Yu placed her hands on her hips. “I didn’t forget. Venerable Liu is an evil eliminator. Such a great evil shouldn’t exist in the world. With it around, chaos will befall the world. Everyone will stop working and worship the statue every day.”
But could a wooden statue make things out of thin air? No.
What she gave people was from this world. For example, if you asked for roasted chicken and got it, that was because someone raised chickens and sold roasted chicken. However, if no one raised chickens and sold roasted chicken, where would you get the food?
If the commoners stopped farming and begged for food at home every day, after everything in the world was used up, food wouldn’t appear again. However, it would be too late when they realized that the Goddess was a liar.
If Hu Yu could obtain such a thing, it was inevitable that others also would.
When Liu Yuanyuan arrived at the Marquis mansion, Su Yanyu was sorting out the herbs. When he saw Liu Yuanyuan, his eyes lit up. He went forward and held Liu Yuanyuan’s hand, asking happily, “Yuanyuan, why are you here?”
Liu Yuanyuan said directly, “Recently, there will be a lot of wooden statues appearing in the capital. If anyone gives it to you, don’t take it. Remember, there is no free lunch in this world. If you want anything, you can only get it with your hard work..”
