I didn't think that Uncle Chen would have such a huge reaction when he saw this sculpture. While I was surprised, I also felt very happy, because at least for now, I am sure that Uncle Chen must have recognized this object to have such a reaction.
”Ma Que, listen to Uncle's advice, quickly throw this thing away, as far as you can go,” The Uncle Chen didn't wait for me to reply and started to chatter again, obviously very nervous.
”Uncle Chen, what exactly is this thing?” Seeing Uncle Chen so nervous, he immediately found it funny. After chuckling for a bit, he asked again.
After the Uncle Chen heard this, he took a deep breath and sat down again. However, I kept having the feeling that he was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the statue.
Seeing him like this, my interest in the pottery statue deepened.
”Ma Que, I am not talking about you, you youngsters are really something, how can you casually bring this with you?” Uncle Chen sighed, as if he was disappointed. He paused for a long time before saying softly, ”This thing is a Spirit Orchid, an item to protect the family and the sect. If I take it, it will be bad luck.”
”A spiritual urn? ”You really know it? Tell me quickly.” At this moment, my curiosity had already exploded, I didn't care who this thing belonged to. I just kept urging Uncle Chen to hurry up and say it.
Uncle Chen looked at me and shook his head as he spoke.
According to the Uncle Chen, the household fairy was equivalent to our usual household god. However, in our society, the household god was usually the god, formed from the spirit, but the household fairy was different, there were actually five categories, ”Hu Huang Liu Bai Hui”, which consisted of fox, weasel, snake, hedgehog, and mouse. They were usually written on paper and pasted on the wall.
However, a ”spiritual urn” like the one in my hand was a different matter.
Why? Because although this ”Spirit Urn” was crude, its origin was quite magical. Because it wasn't made by a human.
”Not made by humans?” Hearing this, I was immediately surprised. If it wasn't a human, could it have been a ghost?
The Uncle Chen then continued, ”The Spirit Urn is formed from the remnants of the elders of the five great deities. The one who truly worships it is not the human race, but the descendants of the five great deities.”
”F * ck,” I thought it was even more fun when I heard this. ”Will foxes and weasels also worship their ancestors?”
I came back to reality and thought that it was really interesting. I held the clay figurine in my hand and asked Uncle Chen, ”Then in your opinion, which of the five great deities does this thing belong to?”
Uncle Chen took a close look and his expression changed again as he said: ”Quickly throw it away, this is the Huang Family. This time it's going to be troublesome.”
”Huang Family? ”Weasel?” I narrowed my eyes and asked, but before I could finish speaking, Uncle Chen immediately stopped me and said mysteriously: ”Don't speak nonsense, it's Yellow Great Immortal. Uncle Chen's ancestor is from the northeast, this Yellow Great Immortal has a strong desire to take revenge, if you provoke them, you won't be able to live a good life.”
When I heard this, I smiled. I thought that the Uncle Chen was really tactful with talking about this stuff, so I didn't mind and stuffed it back into my arms.
Seeing me like this, the Uncle Chen sighed lightly and ignored me.
That night, Uncle Chen didn't return to the hotel to rest. Instead, he waited until dawn to buy me breakfast before leaving.
Grabbing onto a dot, I felt that it was about time before I walked down the stairs. I walked towards the sick bay where the oval-faced girl was. Based on the current situation, I could only use her as my breakthrough.
The oval-faced girl was much better. Although her face was pale, her movements weren't too much of a problem. When I went over, she was supporting herself against the wall as she walked. When she saw me from afar, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled at me as a form of greeting.
”Are you feeling better?” I asked her casually, thinking that this might just be the beginning, that within three days she would be sick.
I heard from the President Liu that you were the one who saved me? The girl smiled and leaned against the wall as she sat down.
I smiled in embarrassment and changed the subject. ”I want to ask you some questions. Is that alright?”
”Is it about what happened to Lanlan?” The girl immediately reacted.
I nodded my head, and for a moment, I didn't know where I opened my mouth to speak, but after thinking about the ”Spirit Orchid” that Uncle Chen spoke of, I took it out. However, before I could open my mouth, her face changed and she asked me in surprise, ”Why do you have this as well?”
I chuckled and told her the truth. ”Where did you get this?” I asked her.
