Chapter 47 Sky Scale Festival
As the capital of the Dou Ling Empire, Lingdou City is still lively at night. Although it is not a festival, there are still many people walking or chatting on the streets, and there are also many soul masters shopping in front of various shops. things, talking loudly.
Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao walked side by side on the road. It had been almost half an hour since they came out of the hotel. They hadn't found a place to eat yet, but they met a few teammates first.
"Xiaonan Xiaotao, are you here too?" Gongyang Mo stood at the door of a shop and waved to them, with Xixi and Ling Luochen beside him.
"What are you doing here?"
Wang Nan took a glance and found that there were only some small wood carvings in the shop. It was a souvenir shop for ordinary people, and there was nothing related to soul masters or soul masters.
"Oh, you don't understand girls' thoughts." Gongyang Mo replied, then looked at Ma Xiaotao and pointed to the shop nearby, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Wang Nan beside her.
Now that he has arrived here, Wang Nan is also a little curious about ordinary people's shops, so he nods and agrees.
Several people walked into the store and were quickly greeted by the boss.
The shop owner had no talent for cultivation, he was just an ordinary person, so he didn't see that many of them were soul masters, and just thought they were a few young customers.
"Welcome, you guys are here to pick out souvenirs, so you have come to the right place. Every item in the shop comes from various folklore of our Dou Ling Empire. It can be said to be the most interesting A meaningful souvenir.”
"Did the boss do all this himself?"
Wang Nan carefully observed the statues in front of him. Even with his eyes, he had to admire the boss's craftsmanship. Each piece was lifelike, and some details were carefully polished.
"I'm not afraid of the jokes of a few guests when I say it. I have also awakened my martial soul, and it is just a carving knife. It's just a pity that I don't have innate soul power, so I can't practice, so I can only carve wood carvings to support my family."
Wang Nan glanced at the boss when he heard this. If he can practice, he should be able to become an outstanding soul engineer.
Gongyang Mozheng and several girls were talking in front of a round wooden sculpture, but Wang Nan's eyes were attracted by the crescent-shaped statue at the top.
"Boss, you just said that every wood carving here comes from various legends. Can you tell me what legends this statue has?"
The boss followed Wang Nan's gaze and said with a smile, "This is the water god enshrined in my hometown."
"Water God?" This was the first time Wang Nan heard that there were other gods believed in in this world, especially those related to water. On this continent, shouldn’t there be the most people who believe in Poseidon?
"Yes, Water God." The boss moved a ladder, took down the hands of the "Water God" statue, then gently placed it on the table and wiped off the dust on it.
Only then did Wang Nan see that the "crescent moon" was covered with scales, had a head and a tail, and looked like a carp.
"The boss saw you, the water god, and I remembered a story, but in my story, the 'water god' had to eat a pair of boys and girls every year to ensure good weather."
Wang Nan was just bored and wanted to chat with his boss, but who knew that when he said these words, he discovered something strange. Wang Nan is a soul master after all. Although it was only for a moment, he still caught the unnatural look in his boss's eyes.
"boss?"
"Haha...ha, how could it be? The Water God is a god, how could there be such a god? Haha." The boss laughed, "By the way, guest, you can take away other wood carvings you like, but this one Forget about the 'Water God', I still need to rely on it to protect me and make a lot of money." "In that case, why don't you tell me the story about the Water God? I'm new to Lingdou City and I've never heard of it before. This god." Wang Nan looked at the boss's face, pointed at two wooden carvings, and took out a gold soul coin.
"By the way, these two wood carvings look pretty good to me. Boss, please wrap them up for me."
"Hey, hey, I'll wrap it up for you." The boss's eyes widened when he saw the gold soul coin.
Although one gold soul coin is nothing to Wang Nan, a meal costs more than a dozen, but in fact, an ordinary family of three only consumes four or five gold soul coins to live in a year.
While packing the wood carvings, the boss spoke slowly, "Actually, the legend of the Water God has been circulating for tens of thousands of years. No one can tell clearly what it was in the beginning. Some say it was a spirit master with a carp spirit, and some say it was a spirit master with a carp spirit. People say it was a spirit beast, but it wasn’t a god at first, but an elder from the Tianlin Sect.”
"Tianlin Sect?" Wang Nan frowned. He seemed to have no impression of this sect in his mind, whether it was the memory of his previous life or the knowledge he learned in this life.
"Yes, the Tianlin Sect is a very special sect. To recruit disciples, they must have animal spirits, and the spirits also have scales. It is said that whether it is a fish or a snake, as long as it has scales, the Tianlin Sect will A secret method can be used to turn their martial souls into real dragons."
Wang Nan listened carefully. He didn't expect that there was also a saying about transforming into a dragon in this world.
"Then where did this water god come from?"
"Well, this water god was the one who failed to transform into a dragon, but he had better luck. After failing to transform into a dragon, he did not die, but fell into a big river. Later, the Tianlin Sect was destroyed, but it survived in the river.”
The boss's face changed, and he sighed slightly, "Since then, the weather has been smooth on both sides of the river. There has been no more flooding, and it has gradually become a water god."
When Wang Nan saw this, he didn't ask any more questions. He is not sure whether he has the ability to help his boss solve the matter of this "Water God". If he continues to ask questions now, he may even harm his boss. It is better to make it clear to the college after he goes back and let the people from the college investigate the matter.
"Thank you very much, boss. Your wood carvings are very exquisite. I will come again if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Thank you for your visit. I welcome you anytime."
After Wang Nan was polite to his boss, he raised his head and looked at Gongyang Mo, "How do you think it goes?"
After hearing Wang Nan's words, the voices of Gong Yangmo and Ma Xiaotao's discussion lowered.
"It'll be ready soon!"
After that, Ma Xiaotao brought over a chubby wooden sculpture that looked like a chicken, and it was quite cute.
"Do you think this looks like me or him?" Ma Xiaotao said and pointed to Gong Yangmo on the side.
"Like you, after all, this wooden sculpture doesn't look as colorful as him."
Ma Xiaotao snorted softly and finally bought it.
