Chapter 136: Not letting Ping'an lose face

Dai ZhiShang said enthusiastically: "Old Master Wang, if you have any matter, just say it; whether I can do it or not, I will do my best!"

Wang Lin handed over the removed talisman box and said: "Please give this talisman box to those two ladies!"

Zhang Guihua also reacted, took off the talisman box hanging from her neck, and said seriously: "This talisman box of mine is useless hanging there; I also have to trouble Young Master Dai to help deliver it, perhaps it could save those two ladies' lives!"

Ma Huixin, who has a character of repaying kindness, is very much liked; moreover, upon hearing the conversation between Ma Huixin and Xiang Qiao, her parents have all passed away, and now going to the prefecture city, she actually would still encounter an ambush.

Even Ma Huixin herself said that she lacks confidence in whether she can survive and reach the prefecture city.

She is full of sympathy toward Ma Huixin.

This talisman box, from the approximate information obtained from Daoist Xuanqing, let her clearly know that the talisman box's preciousness is merely how precious the talisman box is.

Moreover, how could there be only one—no, two lives precious?

Her family's Ping'an is a reincarnation of a Great Benevolent Person; she cannot, no matter what, let her family's Ping'an lose face.

Dai ZhiShang looked at the wooden plaques being handed over one after another, and hearing Zhang Guihua say it was a talisman box, his face full of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask: "Old Master Wang, and Auntie, what exactly is the talisman box you're talking about?"

Don't look at the Wang family members being merely ordinary farmers; however, the family produced a Top Scholar, and the family somewhat has some background; over so many years of imperial examinations, it's impossible not to have encountered a kind person who gave him a gift.

Even if only one-tenth of the treasure remains at home, it is not comparable to ordinary farmers.

Moreover, not to mention.

The Wang family also has Daoist Xuanqing as a backer!

Daoist Xuanqing seems to be merely a wild Daoist in a mountain ditch temple, but he knows that Daoist Xuanqing once studied in the Ziyang Palace and also holds an identity token as a Ziyang Palace disciple.

Even if he is utterly down-and-out, he is still far more formidable than an ordinary Daoist.

Perhaps these two ordinary-looking wooden plaques before our eyes might actually be some treasure.

He hasn't forgotten that Liu Dongzhu just said the wooden plaque is her most precious treasure besides Wang Ping'an; she, after all, is the wife of a Top Scholar—even if divorced, she should at least have some treasure.

Wang Lin subconsciously glanced toward Daoist Xuanqing.

His understanding of the talisman box is only partial, all from listening to Daoist Xuanqing's explanations; he doesn't know how to answer Dai ZhiShang.

All we can hope for is for Daoist Xuanqing to step forward!

"This wooden plaque is called a 'Talisman Box,' and it is a magical artifact!"

Before Daoist Xuanqing finished speaking, one could see the shock on Dai ZhiShang's face.

He is indeed merely a scholar, not a Daoist cultivator.

But due to his background, he should understand many things that ordinary scholars do not know.

Knowing the preciousness of a magical artifact is quite ordinary.

Daoist Xuanqing spoke again: "Of course, the most important thing is still the talismans inside the talisman box: Thunder Strike Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Peace Talisman, and Concealment Talisman."

There are nine in total!

Unless one encounters a high master, having these three talisman boxes can completely protect those two ladies' lives!

"Old Master Wang, the things you gave, are they, are they too precious!"

Dai ZhiShang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He knows the power of magical artifacts, and he knows even more the power of talismans; he never imagined that a magical artifact called a 'Talisman Box' would actually contain so many talismans.

From this one can see the preciousness of the talisman box!

To say it is worth a fortune is not an exaggeration; no wonder Liu Dongzhu would say this is her most precious treasure besides Wang Ping'an.

No matter what, he never expected that such precious treasures would be casually given by the Wang family members to Ma Huixin.

With Daoist Xuanqing present, the Wang family members cannot possibly be unaware of the talisman box's preciousness; perhaps these few talisman boxes were made by Daoist Xuanqing himself.

"Precious?"

Wang Lin smiled; he is a rustic villager, but from some legendary stories he learned that a talisman's price can be said to be worth a thousand gold, let alone the talisman box which indeed contains nine talismans.

Moreover, the talisman box is also a magical artifact!

What a magical artifact is, he actually isn't very clear, but he thinks it should also be a precious item.

Wang Lin said proudly: "Young Master Dai, do you know our family's Ping'an's identity?"

"Identity?"

Dai ZhiShang stared blankly, and various random thoughts arose in his mind one after another.

The Top Scholar's son, Daoist Xuanqing's disciple, and the Lu family's son-in-law…

The Wang family members are his lifesavers; how could he not go to understand the Wang family's situation, and how could he possibly not be clear about Wang Ping'an's identity?

However.

He couldn't figure out why Wang Lin would suddenly ask such a question.

This novel you to.

Dai ZhiShang subconsciously shook his head.

"Young Master Dai, I remember saying before, didn't I? Our family's Ping'an is a reincarnation of a Great Benevolent Person!"

Wang Lin snorted dissatisfiedly, paused his speech, his face full of pride, and said:

"Even the Divine Cat Hero and the Flying Eagle Sword Hero are attracted by our family's Ping'an."

"If our family's Ping'an were not a reincarnation of a Great Benevolent Person, how could they possibly protect our family's Ping'an's safety?"

"As this grandfather, I naturally cannot let our family's Ping'an lose face; now knowing someone might lose their life, how could I just stand by and watch?"

Dai ZhiShang's mouth corner twitched slightly; he didn't expect Wang Lin to give such a reason.

It's precisely this reason that even saying to give away a magical artifact worth a fortune, they actually give it away.

He is very doubtful whether Wang Lin is innocent and cute, but he is already quite old.

Could it be that he still doesn't know the cruelty of this world?

Nowadays, although it is an era of peace and prosperity, compared to the previous chaotic era, it is better by an unknown number of times; saying it is a heaven-and-earth difference is not an exaggeration.

But every day, many people still, for various reasons, mysteriously leave the world.

Wang Lin can save one person; could he possibly save everyone in the world?

Dai Zishang instinctively looked toward Xuanqing Daozhang.

Since the talisman box is a magical artifact, it must have been made by a Dao cultivator; the one with the deepest ties to the Wang Family is only Xuanqing Daozhang, though I don't know whether he refined it or bought it.

Either way, he gave the talisman box to the Wang Family Members, obviously intending to protect their safety.

Now the Wang Family Members are feeling benevolent, preparing to pass it on to others; even if they encounter danger or are in mortal peril, at the very least Xuanqing Daozhang must state his position.

Xuanqing Daozhang seemed not to notice Dai Zishang's intention, his expression blank as he said: "Master Dai, forgive my frankness, my abilities are limited; I cannot cure this illness—perhaps there is an expert in the prefectural city who can!"

The three talisman boxes were secretly given to the Wang Family Members by Luo Quan, having nothing to do with him; how the Wang Family Members dispose of the three talisman boxes, how could he voice an opinion?

Dai Zishang immediately became anxious, "Xuanqing Daozhang, is there really no way?"

"My abilities are limited!"

Xuanqing Daozhang snorted, seeing Dai Zishang open his mouth, not waiting for him to finish speaking, he impatiently interrupted: "If there's nothing else, Master Dai, please leave!"
