Chapter 389: 9.8 Second Blue Star - All Seeing Talisman
Chapter 389: 9.8 Second Blue Star – All Seeing Talisman
Su Wan and his second brother, Yan Ke, went under the same bridge as soon as they had finished the hospital procedures to allow Su Wan out. Riding his second brother’s car out the drive straight to the bridge and met the two Celestial Masters conning few customers as usual.
The brothers waited until the Masters finished giving fortunes to the two customers who left with happy expressions. Though the customer didn’t need real divination, the fake fortune-telling is enough to satisfy them. But Yan Ke who came over for the first time had frowned, he watched the whole thing and knew that these two are con artists as he expected.
He didn’t know whether his third brother was telling the truth or this silly brother was being played with. Su Wan pulls his Second brother and happily greets Master Yi and Master Ling.
“Masters I came back to clear my debts~,” said Su Wan with a friendly smile.
Master Yi returned his smile and said, “Oh~ you’re still an alive brat! We told you right, the Protective Talisman our Huahua made is effective, right? But… It can only protect someone but isn’t that effective towards unclean things…”
His small eyes due to his chubby face suddenly squinted when they saw the other man wearing glasses behind Su Wan. Yan Ke himself was stunned by what the fat man said about him.
Yan Ke’s thoughts, ‘Unclean things? Are they saying something is on me? Moreover, their demeanor had completely changed from casual to serious. Are they the type of Celestial Masters who choose their customers?’
A confused Su Wan looked at the master and his second brother alternately and said, “W-What is there something wrong with my second brother?”
Master Yi placed a Talisman that can temporarily open one’s sight. He grins towards Su Wan and says, “Seeing is believing. This is an all seeing Talisman 100k renminbi. Are you up for it?”
Su Wan nods his head and pulls out his phone paying for his due of 9.5 million-plus the payment of the All-Seeing Talisman. Only then did he grab his newly bought Talisman and see a new kind of scenery. Thanks to this talisman Su Wan was able to temporarily see through all things this includes anything supernatural, see-through spells, and see someone else’s aura.
He finally saw two handsome men in Celestial Robes in front of him. Both were attractive-looking men in their thirties. The one who sold the all-seeing talisman is a guy with a refreshing smile on his face. His eyes were red-orange while his hair was blazing red. A beauty mark on his forehead looks like a fire. On his ears is a light blue pearl pierced on it.
Meanwhile, the silent yet serene beauty was staring at him with those light blue eyes. It looks like a sapphire gem but lighter in color. His long blue hair was braided behind him tied up with a red flower crown. His features were celestial and like the smiling man beside him there is another beauty mark on his forehead but unlike the fire insignia on the crimson hair man, his is a trident. Same thing in the legend which can only be wielded by a water god.
“Y-You… You…!!!!”
Su Wan was shocked to see that the current appearance of the two old masters is something he couldn’t believe. He saw the blue-eyed beauty twist the crimson-haired ears and scolded.
“Darling, why did you guy the guy an all-seeing talisman? With that, he could see our true appearance,” Master Ling.
Master Yi was hissing in pain as he answered to his wife, “H-Honey, my ears are falling out. You’re gonna tear it. Hiss~”
“It’s better if it is torn, you never used it anyway,”
“Wuwuwu~ I only want the boy to see what his second brother had on him. He should see it for himself, moreover, that the talisman is only useful three times. Ack! Honey my ears!” said Master Yi. Only after knowing that the effective duration of the All-seeing Talisman is for three times that he calmed down.
Master Ling said, “Don’t waste the effects of the talisman.”
Hearing those words Su Wan moved his body to look at his second brother, Yan Ke. The moment he looked at his second brother’s figure, Su Wan, this coward couldn’t help but scream in fear. He panicky let go of the all-seeing talisman on him and fell butt first on the ground while staring at his second brother in fear.
He tremblingly points his finger at Yan Ke pointing all over him, “S-Second brother~ t-there are ghosts attached to you. Two in your shoulders, on your two arms and legs. They… They are all ghost ladies. Wuwuwu~ so scary~…” said Su Wan.
Yan Ke’s frown turned deeper with what he heard and witnessed, he remembered hearing that talisman his third brother had let go to be something allowed to see him something unknown. He went to pick it up when he heard the fat man’s jolly voice.
Master Yi said, “Wait. Wait, you cannot see yourself like that. Let this old man prepare a mirror for you.”
This fat old celestial master in his eyes suddenly pulled a full-body mirror from his stall and placed it in front of Yan Ke. Only then did he gesture to him to pick the All See Talisman.
“Okay~ go ahead and pick the talisman~,” said Master Yi with a huge grin on his chubby face.
Yan Ke looked for his third brother and saw him hiding behind the back of the thin old master who spoke little words with them. The expression on the two Celestial Masters was like watching a show. Finally hardening his heart, Yan Ke picked the talisman on the ground. But as soon as the talisman was held in his hand, he heard creepy women giggling near his ears.
GIGGLES~
His body had suddenly felt so cold all over and the weight on him became even heavier than before. He could hardly raise his back to see his reflection in the full body mirror in front of him. Yan Ke was horrified by what he saw in the mirror. Like his third back had saif on his back, arms, and legs, there are ghastly lady ghosts attached to him.
Some of their eyes were hollowed with blood gushing out from it, mouths ripped off, and noses crooked. Their necks were twisted in weird angles as they clung on Yan Ke like a precious thing. In this scene, even Yan Ke could no longer hold back his screams and fell on his butt like Su Wan.
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Unlike Su Wan, in his fear, Yan Ke gripped the talisman in his hand and looked around only to not see the two Masters from before. Instead, it was replaced with two handsome men, one smiling at him like that fat man and the other staring at him with a nonchalant gaze, his third brother hiding behind him.
Only then did he realize that the two con artists from before were indeed great masters who can hide their real appearance behind an old appearance. Yan Ke whose legs had given in and his whole body was trembling and heavy could only crawl towards Master Yi’s direction and grab the hems of his robe.
“Great Master. Great Master, this one is rude. Please forgive me. Please save me. I beg you, Great Masters~” pleads Yan Ke as he could feel his body getting even colder as if he was a block of ice. This icy feeling is making him feel sleepy.
His second brother’s weird state was noticed by Su Wan. He knew that his second brother was in danger and begged the two masters to save him. He even kowtowed in front of the two masters begging them to save Yan Ke.
Hitting his head to the ground as he kowtowed, “Please. Please save my second brother. I will do anything. ANYTHING. Please save him!” said Su Wan.
Su Wan kept on kowtowing even ignoring that his forehead had started bleeding from doing so. The Celestial Masters, Shen Ling, and Xie Yi were staring at the two brothers observing their reaction. Su Wan is sincerely asking for them to save his second brother while Yan Ke is thankful but at the same time bitter to see his younger brother hurting himself just to beg the others to save him. If only he could move his mouth and his body he wouldn’t allow Su Wan to do such a thing. Like his elder brother, it was supposed to be his responsibility to protect the younger one but now it was the younger brother who is doing his all just so his life could be saved. He couldn’t help but feel bitter at his current situation.
At that time, he should have stopped Su Wan and their elder brother, Wang Liu from courting death. They shouldn’t have gone to that haunted tomb for fun. Yan Ke had longed to hear some bad rumors about that tomb. There is some news that says that the tomb is cursed or filled with evil spirits and ghosts but at that time he didn’t believe in supernatural things. After all, Yan Ke sees things more rationally than his two brothers.
But who would have thought that things would have ended in such a situation where the eldest had fallen into a coma for unknown reasons. He feels pressure and fatigue every day as if the world is on his shoulders and their youngest, Su Wan, is suddenly unlucky almost every day. He tries asking medical practitioners to check on Wang Liu but sadly all their words say that his elder brother’s vitals are normal but for some unknown reason, he had fallen into a comatose state out of nowhere. Then his elder brother’s mother suddenly says that the three of them might have brought home someone unclean when they went to that tomb and advise them to look for some Celestial Masters.
In the beginning, Yan Ke didn’t believe what his aunt had said but as time went by and none of the scientific theories was able to explain their current situation, Yan Ke finally agreed to look for Celestial Masters. Unfortunately, none of those so-called celestial masters were able to wake up their elder brother. All of them are scammers who came to steal their money. Yan Ke who finally lost time threw all those fakes out of his house and prevented them from meeting Wang Liu.
Until that day before Su Wan had an accident if he didn’t witness with his own eyes the scene of Su Wan being completely unharmed while being the nearest to the huge truck that was about to completely overturn. He wouldn’t believe in such irrational things but the proof was already placed before him he could only accept it as a fact. When that talisman Su Wan had pulled out from his inner pocket turned to ashes under his gaze, he finally believed real Celestial Masters with supernatural abilities existed in this world.
Half believing he followed his third brother to meet the masters who had sold him that effective talisman that saved his life. Yan Ke was brought to some desolate under the bridge location where he met two old men one thin and one fat wearing tacky celestial robes making themselves look even more fake than the ones who had visited his home. He couldn’t stop himself from frowning in incredulity. He was about to drag his silly third brother away from these weird old men when he suddenly saw Su Wan grab a talisman and jump away in fear when he looked at him.
His terrified expression is so real that he could even see some tears at the corner of Su Wan’s eyes. This silly brother of his never knew how to act. If he could then he and his elder brother, Wang Liu, wouldn’t have to protect him until he grew into such a big yet silly man. Yan Ke wanted to see what scared his third brother enough for his pale to turn bloodless when he looked at him. He was still half disbelieving when he picked up the talisman on the ground. But after a split second, he saw a scene he would never forget in his whole life.
They indeed brought home unclean beings with them. There are already many ghosts attached to him. How about their elder brother who had fallen unconscious? The only thing he could remember is Su Wan’s figure kneeling on the ground with a bleeding forehead begging the masters to save him. He felt regret for the first time.
Yan Ke’s last thoughts before fainting, ‘They shouldn’t have gone to that haunted tomb in the first place.’
