The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 343: Money Can’t Buy It (Thanks for the monthly ticket, more updates today)

Wen Weilan was also looking at a black crystal the size of a palm at this time.

The sacred star points inside are very dense and appear to be of much better quality than ordinary star fragments.

At this moment, her whole body was covered in a long robe, not revealing any skin, only a pair of bright eyes.

"I say, sir, if you want to buy something, do it quickly and don't block others." The stall owner said impatiently.

Many people from Mobei around were attracted by this extraordinary and dazzling star fragment, with greed in their eyes, and they all wanted to get it.

But Wen Weilan stood there, holding it in his hand and looking at it for a long time, while the others could only crane their necks to look at it.

The stall owner, who was also covered in a full robe with only a thin face showing, seemed to be in a hurry to make a sale, so of course he didn't like to see a cautious customer like Wen Weilan.

"How much is this?" a burly man carrying a dead wild boar on his back squeezed in and asked.

This guy looks straightforward and heroic, and the look in his eyes definitely shows that he really wants it and he won't be picky.

The stall owner's face was filled with joy and he was about to answer.

Wen Weilan then asked calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of such a good star fragment?"

The voice was murmured and hoarse, and it was impossible to tell the gender or accent.

The stall owner's face froze, and when he saw the people around him immediately showed curiosity, confusion and even suspicion, he had to explain: "Because I need money, my family is sick."

"The disease you are talking about is not... a strange disease, right?" Wen Weilan said lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone dodged and moved away from the stall owner.

Although there is little research on various strange diseases, some are contagious and some are not, but every time they appear, a large number of people die. Therefore, people in Mobei stay away from strange diseases when they hear about them.

The stall owner immediately argued: "Of course not, how could it be possible?"

"If it is... that strange disease," he gritted his teeth and said, "then I can just use this star fragment. Why would I need to take action?"

"That makes sense." The people around nodded and felt that the explanation made sense.

"What happened?" a middle-aged woman asked relentlessly, with suspicion still in her eyes.

The stall owner reluctantly whispered: "My woman is pregnant, and I need to hire a witch..."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded, looking sympathetic.

In Mobei, newborns are important assets.

According to the legend in the tribe, before a child's soul grows, he or she is most vulnerable to evil corrosion, and is also the best material for certain evil beings to refine weapons.

Therefore, everyone will carefully protect their newborns. Apart from asking the witch to help with the birth and blessing, they will keep it secret from the outside world. Otherwise, it is common for the newborns to be robbed or stolen.

Therefore, it is understandable why the stall owner is reluctant to speak.

"So how much do you want?" The man who asked the price first became anxious. Such good star fragments must not fall into the hands of others.

"I want a thousand gold pieces," the stall owner said proudly.

The gold he was talking about were small golden beads, which were also the highest grade currency in Mobei.

Although the gold beads are small, not everyone can afford them.

"One thousand..." Everyone gasped and talked about it.

This price is really high. In Mobei, unless you are a noble, who would have more than ten gold bars at home?
The sturdy man was also frightened and his face turned red. He subconsciously rubbed the wild boar leg on his shoulder and couldn't speak for a long time. It seemed that he was also short of money.

The middle-aged woman who asked the question hesitated, then hardened her heart and bargained: "Eight hundred gold!"

Others couldn't help but look sideways at this plain-looking middle-aged woman covered in thick silver-gray fur.

It’s not an ordinary person who can come up with eight hundred gold!
Wen Weilan looked at him calmly for a long time.

Then he threw out a golden, heavy token.

"Is this enough?"

The stall owner's eyes were fixed on the gold medal. Not only him, but everyone's eyes were caught by the intricate and delicate patterns and the dazzling gold color on it.

The middle-aged woman was silent for a while, then said, "This craftsmanship doesn't look like that of Mobei."

Wen Weilan nodded softly as a response.

Judging from the Tang Dynasty's carving craftsmanship and the weight it looks like, if it is real, it is worth far more than a thousand gold.

He licked his lips greedily, looked at Wen Weilan, and tentatively raised the gold medal.

After shaking it, I found that the weight was correct.

He bit it with his teeth amid everyone's disgusted gazes, looked at the tooth marks left on it, and shouted in surprise: "Yes, it's real!"

Wen Weilan's cold voice came from under his robe: "How about it? Can I take this star fragment?"

"Yes, yes, of course!" The stall owner held the gold medal and no longer cared.

Wen Weilan waved his wide sleeves and took the star fragments into his arms amid the envious gazes of everyone.

She quickly turned around and left, making many turns, deftly using the crowds and messy stalls at the market to avoid the figures that were quietly following her.

She is now in the Oasis City in the northern desert, which can be considered a prosperous metropolis, but its prosperity cannot be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty. All she can see are tents. There are only a few city lord's mansions and temples made of loess in the city center, which always seem to reveal a sense of roughness and barbarism.

But the good thing is that the people here don't have too many tricks up their sleeves. They are straightforward and rarely cheat or defraud.

It's really rare to see a swindler like the stall owner just now.

Wen Weilan had already circled back by now, hiding not too close but not too far away from the stall owner, secretly watching him under the cover of the tents.

The "star fragments" in her hand looked very real, but she knew that they were definitely not real.

It can only deceive ordinary people who don't have the ability to sense strange energy.

After all, those people with extraordinary abilities have long been under the command of the nobility and the temple, so how could they buy star fragments in this messy market?

After he cheated a gold medal, he immediately prepared to pack up and leave, for fear that someone would be jealous and snatch his gold medal away.

Wen Weilan followed him all the way, watching him leave the oasis and ride his horse in one direction.

At this time, the wind from the oasis brought a gust of dust, blurring the departing figure.

But Wen Weilan left her own mysterious aura on the gold medal, which was still clearly visible in the wind and sand.

Ariel was waiting for Wen Weilan outside with a horse, because horses were prohibited in the oasis and could not be brought into the city.

As soon as he saw her come out, he immediately went to greet her.

"Go, follow."

Wen Weilan didn't say anything extra and jumped onto the horse. Ariel also quickly followed suit and climbed onto the horse's back.

He sat in the front and controlled the horse, following Wen Weilan's instructions to track the swindler.

The swindler seemed to be quite cautious, taking unusual paths and turning left and right, fearing that someone would follow him.

"Sister, is it true that there are star fragments in his house?" Ariel asked curiously.

"Even if his family doesn't have it, he must know the clues, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make such realistic large fragments." Wen Weilan pondered.

If you have never seen it, you will never be able to create such starlight and texture.

Ariel nodded, not understanding why.

Wen Weilan didn't say much, thinking about those who were waiting for her to come home.

Kuang Bowen and Yan Hongye finally fell down.

Although they are not dead yet, they are not far away. But now that they know the wonderful uses of star fragments, they naturally want to try their best.

The poster and the fisherman went out alone to look for it in a farther place.

Chen Shanyuan stayed at home and took care of the patient.

She and Yariel went into the town to gather information. After all, Yariel was not convinced by anyone except Wen Weilan, but he knew a lot about Mobei, so this allocation was just right.

At this time, Wen Weilan followed the man all the way to a lonely tent.

Being away from the tribe means being abandoned by the tribe, just like Ariel and his grandfather.

Seeing the stall owner dismount and go into the tent from afar, Wen Weilan also dismounted, made a gesture to Yariel to keep quiet, and followed him on tiptoe.

As I approached the tent, I heard voices coming from inside.

"My dear, I finally have enough money to ask the witch for protection! Our baby will be born safely!"

This is the sound of the stall owner talking loudly.

It seems that he was not lying about this.

Wen Weilan originally thought that the stall owner was telling a lie in order to get rid of the product in a hurry.

But this name... doesn't seem to be the custom of the people in Mobei.

Moreover, his accent had changed, and it actually sounded familiar.

Then, a woman in the tent screamed.

"you……"

"Where did this come from?"

It was obvious that the stall owner was taking out the gold medal to seek credit. The woman knew it was of extraordinary value at first sight and was naturally shocked.

“I sold that thing…”

"But..." The woman's voice was filled with uneasiness.

"These are all people from Mobei, so what's the harm in lying to them?" the man said with a smile.

They are Tang people! Wen Weilan suddenly realized.

I don’t know how I ended up here.

"Alas... I'm just afraid they will come after you."

"How could that be? I was very careful, and my craftsmanship was so good that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. There is no other craftsman like me in the entire Mobei. I don't believe they could tell the difference so quickly."

"By the time they figured it out, I would have taken you to the temple!"

"You still have to be careful, otherwise I'm afraid... they are all very fierce."

The woman's voice trembled, as if she was recalling something unpleasant.

"Don't be afraid. Don't you believe in your husband's craftsmanship? Who in Mobei can tell?"

"But I can see it." Wen Weilan said, lifting the tent with his sword and walked in.

Inside was the stall owner and his wife.

Wen Weilan saw his wife's belly was bulging, obviously she was about to give birth.

When the stall owner saw Wen Weilan's eyes fall on his wife's abdomen, he unconsciously moved forward, shielding his wife behind him to avoid the sight of strangers.

"You...you are the man just now!" The stall owner recognized him immediately when he saw that he was wrapped tightly.

"Yes."

"Where is my gold medal?" Wen Weilan stretched out her hand.

The stall owner hesitated and put the gold medal in his hand behind him.

"Why, you don't admit to cheating?"

Wen Weilan took out the fake star fragments and threw them on the ground.

Then, he exerted force on the sword in his hand and immediately cut off a corner, and the debris inside was scattered all over the ground. From the cut, it could be seen that the stars inside were actually painted bit by bit, and were just dyed with gold powder.

One really has to admire the amazing craftsmanship.

The stall owner and his wife trembled as they looked at the sword in Wen Weilan's hand and the aura she exuded.

The woman carefully tugged at the stall owner's sleeve and whispered, "Give the things back to him..."

The stall owner gritted his teeth, but feeling his wife's sincerity, he struggled in his heart for a long time before making up his mind.

"I...I, I'll give it back to you."

"You don't have to give it back to me." Wen Weilan suddenly said.

The stall owner and his wife had disbelief on their faces, wondering if the mysterious masked man in front of them was planning a bigger conspiracy.

"I want to know where the real body of this star fragment is?"

……

Yaliel was waiting outside the tent. When he saw Wen Weilan coming out on horseback, he asked curiously, "How is it? Did my sister find out?"

Wen Weilan climbed onto the horse, touched his round head, and nodded, "Of course."

"Do you know where the Golden Spear Tribe is?"

Yariel opened his eyes wide: "That place... seems to be my grandfather's original tribe!"

"So, have you been there?"

“I went there when I was a kid, but not often.”

"It's okay, as long as you know the way."

Then, he urged the horse to ride in the direction indicated by Ariel.

Inside the tent, the couple watched the masked man go away and felt a little relieved.

The stall owner's hands holding the gold medal were already sweaty and his heart was still beating when he suddenly heard his wife's screams of pain.

When I turned around, I saw the woman had fallen to the ground holding her stomach, and her forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" the stall owner asked nervously.

"I...I'm about to give birth..."

Perhaps because of her extreme nervousness and the fact that she was about to give birth, the woman felt unbearable pain in her abdomen, as if she was frightened and the baby was about to be born prematurely!
"My lady, bear with it for a moment, I will take you there quickly!"

"Ahhhhhh..." The woman's scream was extremely shrill.

It seemed as if some kind of energy was about to burst out within her.

Just as the stall owner was about to pick up the woman, his head was pierced by a hand covered in mucus and sharp claws.

His eyes froze and he collapsed limply to the ground. Brain matter and blood flowed out of his broken skull, covering the carpet with red and white.

Still holding the gold medal in his hand.

The woman watched her husband fall down. She wanted to scream but couldn't. She could only watch her belly open up and a strange and ugly creature lay inside, stretching.
