Chapter 171 Almost

It turns out that there will be a competition for the younger generation of people in the metaphysics world next spring, and the age limit is under 30 years old. The organizer this time is from Japan. They will randomly test the younger generation of people in the metaphysics world before the New Year and then send out invitations based on their levels.

The other masters sent her messages to tell her this, telling her to hide her weaknesses, try not to reveal all her cards, don't use talisman paper, and it's best to just use some basic things.

Because the test in Japan is conducted by people who are quite capable. If they think you are too good, they might resort to some tricks to prevent you from participating in the competition, or even disable you.

But don't hide too much, or you won't even get an invitation.

He also said that one of the prizes this time was a large piece of top-quality jade rough stone! There were many other things, and the rough stone was said to be the worst.

Originally, Xia Wange wanted to say that since it was a competition for people under 30 years old, she could wait until she was 29 to participate. When she showed up at that time, she would definitely be extremely strong.

But after seeing the prizes, she couldn't sit still. Top-quality raw jade is hard to find, not to mention that she doesn't even have the money to renovate her house. Taking part in a competition can not only earn her fame, but also earn jade raw stones. Why not do it?

Xia Wange first counted his magical weapons.

The commonly used ones now are bone spurs, yin bells, jade ruyi that cost millions, and a bunch of jade accessories and large jade items.

However, Yu Ruyi still needs to be nurtured. In the past few months, she planned to bury it in a formation in the forest. It is best to nourish such a large jade with natural spiritual power in the early stage, and let Lu Qiu nurture it in the middle stage, so that it will be easy to use in the later stage.

The jade fox paperweight that he liked to use before was also taken back from under the bridge and is now placed under Lu Qiu's bed.

After thinking about it, Xia Wange opened an excel spreadsheet, on which everything from the Jade Great Wall to rings and earrings were marked with their destinations and the time of nourishment.

After quickly glancing at the form, Xia Wange paused and clicked on the filter button. Only then did she realize that she was not mistaken. She had actually placed more than half of the jade with Lu Qiu.

At first, she only transported a quarter of it, and she didn't know when she had put so much inventory there...

Xia Wange selected the time again, and after taking a quick glance, even Xia Wange herself found it incredible.

She was like a porter, slowly moving large amounts of jade to Lu Qiu.

After a long while, Xia Wange covered her face. She really trusted him too much...

Forcing himself to stop thinking, Xia Wange began to count his own merits again.

The merits accumulated over the past two days have added up to two weeks. The ghost bride has contributed a lot. After all, naturalizing a ghost is also a great merit. And more than two weeks have passed...

hiss......

No profit?

Thinking of this, Xia Wange calculated how much time she had left while going out of the room to eat. After finishing her meal, she took out the book of seals and began to read. She had used a lot of talisman paper, and she couldn't remember many basic seal gestures clearly. She didn't know if it was because of the cold, but her head was dizzy and she couldn't concentrate at all. Xia Wange yawned, checked the time, packed up and prepared to go out for fortune-telling.

As soon as she opened the door of the room, Xia Wange saw Cao Niannian and Zhou Xingwang, a man and a ghost, sitting in the small living room on the second floor sighing.

There was a half-drunk bottle of beer in front of Cao Niannian, and a stick of incense in front of Zhou Xingwang. Niannian took a sip of beer and sighed, while Zhou Xingwang took a deep breath of incense and sighed. In short, both of them looked worried.

Blinking her eyes, Xia Wange sat on the bench between the two of them, looking here and there, and she couldn't help but sigh, "What are you doing... huh?"

Cao Niannian took a sip of beer. "My birthday is next month. We were just discussing birthdays, and Zhou Xingwang said that he has never celebrated his birthday since he could remember, because his mother always said that his birthday was his mother's day of suffering. As a result, he felt a lot of psychological pressure every time his birthday came, and finally he was afraid of celebrating his birthday."

"Then I also had this experience. When it was my birthday, my mother said the same thing, but she was able to celebrate a happy birthday for my younger brother. At that time, I asked my mother why my younger brother could have a good birthday, but I couldn't."

Cao Niannian sighed deeply and sneered after she finished speaking. "She said that because I was the first child, it was particularly difficult to give birth. She almost had a dystocia before giving birth to me. But my brother was the second child and the birth was smooth, so she didn't suffer. The key is that I believed it when I was a child."

Xia Wange was speechless. Why did she have to talk about anything else with Zhou Xingwang but his mother? Wouldn’t anyone who came to chat with him get depressed?

After thinking for a while, Xia Wange said, "You can celebrate your birthday, too. Why not? You can move your birthday forward ten months. No matter if you suffered when you were born, at least you felt good when you were born ten months ago, right?"

After saying that, Xia Wange patted Cao Niannian on the shoulder, turned around and walked out.

Cao Niannian and Zhou Xingwang looked at each other.

Although the words are a bit rough, the logic is not wrong.

However, the sun had already set around five o'clock, and it was raining, so the whole weather was terribly gloomy. The biting cold wind, coupled with the drizzle of autumn rain, made people cold to the bone. The rain water mixed with the river, making the water in the river even more turbulent. A thick branch fell from the tree into the river and disappeared in an instant.

A child under three years old stumbled and lay on the railing beside the river. After watching for a while, he crawled through the railing and walked along the river bank. There was no adult following him. After walking a few steps, he staggered and stepped on the moss. His body tilted and he lost his balance. In an instant, he fell into the rushing river.

At this moment, a slender figure climbed over the railing with one hand, and the rain water along the river bank slid down rapidly. Finally, when half of the child's legs fell into the water, the figure grabbed the child's collar and pulled him back.

Xia Wange leaned against the river bank, glanced at the frightened child who didn't know what had happened, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she had a fortune-teller when she went out, who told her to walk along the river, otherwise this child...

“Linlin, Linlin?!”

Several adults shouted anxiously, and they soon found two people on the river bank and rushed to rescue them.

When the mother picked up the child, she found that both of the child's legs were wet. She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and her hands holding the child were shaking.

"Is it true, is it true that he almost did..." The child's mother choked up and couldn't continue. She looked at Xia Wange, who was covered in mud, and said repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you! Thank you!"
