She doesn't lack talismans.
They also didn't want to use this thousand-year-old ox bone for carving talismans.
However, seeing that it could be crafted into some kind of magical artifact, he had no idea what to do with it, so he could only put the ox bone into his storage bag for the time being and start working on it when he had an idea later.
The next day was Saturday. Although Lin Xi and her friends went to the museum to help out under the guise of an internship, they still followed the school's rules during the holiday.
So the next day she didn't have to go to work and could stay at the feng shui shop and relax.
It's called "playing," but it's really just playing on my phone as usual.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Xi was happily scrolling through her phone in her usual spot when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the street corner.
The footsteps grew louder as they approached, their destination being Fengshuipu.
Lu Zhe left home very early this morning.
For some time now, he has been tending to the feng shui shop while repairing the chain, and his cultivation has made some progress, just reaching a breakthrough stage.
Staying in a feng shui shop for too long can lead to a monotonous environment, which is not conducive to making breakthroughs.
So Lin Xi sent Lu Zhe on a journey.
So for the next few days, the feng shui shop will return to the days when only she is in charge.
The footsteps on the street soon appeared at the entrance of the feng shui shop. Lin Xi put down her phone and looked towards the entrance.
A girl who looked to be in her early twenties walked in.
The girl's eyes were filled with panic and fear, and she had dark circles under her eyes, as if she was troubled by something and hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Upon seeing Lin Xi, the girl was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
"Master, please help me! I... I think something terrible is about to happen to me..."
The girl's voice was filled with fear, and even her hands were trembling with terror.
Is something going to happen to her?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi immediately looked at the girl's face.
Judging from her appearance, the girl doesn't seem like she's going to have an accident anytime soon.
Strangely, Lin Xi did indeed sense an ominous aura emanating from her.
With each furrowed brow, she quickly asked the girl a question.
How did you know you were about to get into trouble?
Aside from the ominous aura, Lin Xi did not sense any fellow practitioners from the girl, so he could be certain that she did not possess any precognitive abilities.
If that's the case, how did she know that something bad was about to happen to her?
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed to remember something, her eyes reddened, and her body trembled violently again.
"I...of course I know, because something happened to my parents..."
"They...they are no longer human!"
As the girl spoke, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
Her parents are no longer human?!
Judging from the aura emanating from the girl, something was definitely amiss around her.
That does match what the girl said.
She gestured for the girl to drink a glass of warm water first, and once the girl had calmed down a bit, she immediately asked her to tell the girl the details about her parents.
After drinking warm water, the girl calmed down and quickly recounted what had happened during that time, as well as her own discoveries.
......
The girl's name is Liang Siyu. She graduated less than two years ago. Because her workplace is not far from home, she has been living at home.
Her parents run a breakfast shop, and their daily routine is quite different from that of ordinary people.
Selling breakfast requires getting up very early, almost every day at two or three o'clock to prepare ingredients, and the shop must be opened at five or six o'clock.
Liang Siyu's parents have indeed worked hard over the years, but because they are skilled cooks and use clean and hygienic ingredients, their business has always been good.
Liang Siyu's work hours are the same as most people's, starting at 8 a.m., so she can sleep until 7 a.m.
As a result, Liang Siyu rarely sees her parents in the morning; they can only meet when she gets off work in the evening.
But even at night, she couldn't spend much time with her parents.
Because their parents have to get up in the early morning, they usually go to bed around 8 or 9 pm to ensure they get enough sleep.
Therefore, in reality, the time a family of three spends meeting and talking throughout the entire day is probably less than two hours.
Both sides have maintained this routine for many years, so Liang Siyu didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
On the contrary, out of consideration for her parents and fear that she might make noise at night and wake them up, she would also go to her room to rest early.
This helped her develop the habit of going to bed early every day.
Life continued peacefully until one night, when Liang Siyu was suddenly awakened by a strange noise.
She groggily opened her eyes and realized that the sound was coming from her parents' room.
Her first thought was, "Isn't it past two o'clock? It's time for my parents to get up."
Just as I was about to close my eyes and go back to sleep, I heard voices coming from downstairs.
Generally speaking, around 2 a.m., you'll rarely see anyone downstairs, let alone a cat.
There are still people walking around at this time...
Does this mean it's not two or three o'clock?
Out of curiosity, Liang Siyu fought off her sleepiness and picked up her phone from the bedside table.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was just past midnight, more than two hours before the parents' normal wake-up time.
Why are there sounds coming from their room right now? Has something happened?
Thinking of this, Liang Siyu instantly became much more sober.
Although her parents are no longer children, since she heard about it, she still wanted to go over and ask what was going on, to see if there was anything she could do to help.
So she quickly got up, put on her coat, opened the bedroom door, and went outside.
As I approached my parents' door, about to knock, I heard a "crunching" sound coming from inside, similar to the sound of chewing some hard food.
To be more precise, it sounds like chewing bones or grinding teeth.
But it seems unlikely that her parents would chew bones or grind their teeth.
Her parents don't have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to eat.
And from childhood to adulthood, for more than 20 years, she has never heard them mention that they grind their teeth in their sleep at night.
If neither of those are the case, then what could it be?
What's even stranger is that there were no lights on in the parents' room.
Apart from that strange "click-clack" sound, there was no other noise.
