The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 938 One shouldn't be too greedy! (2nd update)
If the people in this small mountain village are very ruthless, they might unite and try to steal the dragon spirit.

Then things will get interesting.

Yunran naturally sensed the perverse pleasure of the ginseng fruit and the dragon spirit fighting each other, and she could only shake her head to indicate neutrality, refusing to help either side.

Soon, Long Ling returned with the pearl, looking utterly defeated.

Meeting Yun Ran's gaze, Long Ling said with some confusion, "These people have no taste at all; they don't even recognize pearls!"

In her anger, Long Ling continued, "However, luckily I still managed to ask for directions. They said to just follow that small road for three days, and I'll reach the city."

Yunran: ...

Ginseng fruit: ...

It would only take three days to get there. This was nothing to Yun Ran and his group, but it was a huge problem for the people in this small mountain village.

It seems that the people here rarely leave, which explains why they don't even recognize pearls.

"Since they don't want pearls, then give them what they want."

Renshenguo nodded, then took out a stack of amulets from his body, took out some, and placed them on a large rock at the entrance of the village.

After placing them, Ginseng Fruit and Dragon Spirit carried the sedan chair away.

As their figures disappeared, those who had remained inside the village before began to emerge.

An old man with gray hair walked shakily to the big stone at the entrance of the village.

Their people certainly didn't recognize such a large pearl, and even if it were real, they wouldn't dare to take it.

Until he saw clearly that what was placed on the big rock was actually a peace charm, the old man's squinting eyes widened immediately.

"Peace... safety charm!"

Upon hearing this, the others rushed forward to investigate, and when they saw what their village chief was holding, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"They are Xuan Masters!"

Immediately, some people showed expressions of regret, realizing that they had let go of the opportunity to get close to the Xuan Master!

The Xuan Masters they had met before were all people who looked down on others; they had never seen one who was so easy to talk to.

"They seemed very easy to talk to, just asking questions and giving out candy and lucky charms, just like the others we'd met before..."

One of the villagers wanted to say that the people they had met before were not good people.

As a result, he was glared at by the village chief. He immediately swallowed the last few words he was about to say.

"It's already pretty good to have gotten this much; one shouldn't be too greedy!"

The village chief clearly held immense authority; once he spoke, no one dared to say anything more.

"There are fifteen peace charms here. There are fifteen households in our village, so one charm per household."

The village chief's son quickly stepped forward and helped his father distribute the amulets. Then he told the others to go about their business.

When only the father and son remained at the village entrance.

The village chief's son asked curiously, "Dad, don't you think their attire is a bit strange? Although many Xuan Masters are strange, but..."

The village chief's son didn't know what words to use to describe this feeling, but he just felt that those people from earlier were not simple.

This is why they were decisively refused when the Dragon Spirit approached them, asking for directions and offering them pearls as payment.

They are still afraid to get close to people who look extraordinary.

The village chief's eyes returned to their previous squinty appearance.

He said meaningfully, "No matter who they are, as long as they don't intend to bully us, they are good people. Other things are none of our business." That night, a torrential rain began to fall, and the laziest family in the village didn't bother to repair their already dilapidated house at all.

The rainwater softened the mud walls, and the wooden beams lost their support, causing the entire house to suddenly collapse.

There was a loud "boom".

Although the heavy rain drowned out many sounds, the sound of the house collapsing still alerted the other villagers.

The neighbor of this household came out wearing a straw raincoat to check the situation.

Upon seeing that the house had collapsed, he immediately sent his child to call for help.

No matter what, we need to dig the person out first, otherwise they will definitely be crushed to death underneath.

The villagers soon arrived one after another.

By the occasional flash of lightning, they could see the horrific scene before them.

The village chief's son couldn't help but gasp. With the house collapsed like this, could the people inside still be alive?
Although the adults in this family are lazy and greedy, they don't deserve to die. Besides, there are several children in their family.

"Everyone, please help! Dig him out and see if there's any hope of saving him!"

At this point, regardless of their usual sordid behavior, everyone worked together to start digging.

Seeing how bad things were already, my heart sank even more when they actually got closer and started digging.

With a collapse of this magnitude, even if someone isn't crushed to death, they'll be buried alive.

Just when everyone thought it would be difficult to dig, a bright light suddenly appeared.

Then, in full view of everyone, soil began to emerge from the center of the collapsed area, just like a seed breaking through the soil to grow.

Before long, those present heard cries and screams. The cries were powerful and did not sound like those of an injured person.

"Hurry, help!"

When the torrential rain gradually stopped, the family of seven was dug out. Apart from being a little disheveled, they had no injuries at all.

One of the children who was dug out was holding a lucky charm with a burnt corner in his hand.

"It's a safety charm, it's a safety charm!"

Despite the magnitude of the disaster, this family was completely unharmed.

The villagers finally realized, belatedly, how precious the amulets those people had left them were.

Everyone started having different ideas.

Some people thought they could sell the amulets at a high price. Amulets capable of warding off such a disaster were only available to those at the Heavenly Rank; they'd definitely make a fortune!
Others thought that they should preserve it carefully and not use it casually, so as to prepare it for future needs.

Even worse, some people thought of using the amulet as a gift to achieve their own goals.

……

In short, at this moment, everyone had their own little schemes.

Yunran and the others were currently taking shelter from the rain on their way.

The ginseng fruit was being used to make soup when suddenly his gaze turned towards the direction of the village he had come from.

"Host, one of the peace charms we gave out earlier has been activated!"

Yun Ran closed her eyes to rest, and said calmly, "Once it's given away, it belongs to someone else."
