Chapter 591
Wynter carefully examined the item in her hand. Throughout history, anything made from locust wood
had been deemed unsuitable for people to wear.
It was important to note that Scandonese characters had profound meanings, sometimes related to the
Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
For example, the character for “locust” was related to “disasters“, which suggested that it was wood
used by ghosts and spirits.
Locust trees preferred to grow under shade, and in some southern regions, people would occasionally
use them to make coffins.
In order to make urns with lotus designs related to Zen, one could use cedar wood or mahogany. If
those weren’t available, poplar wood would also suffice.
But people would never use locust wood, as it could easily attract disasters or spirits over time.
Moreover, the pattern of this lotus was also unusual–it had twists and turns that made people”
uncomfortable.
Atwater had once said that there were thousands of Mystic Path statues in the world. He had also said
that If one believed in Mystic Path, one must be sure that one was genuine, as the legends of Mystic
Path originated from Edraian.
Some non–traditional Mystic Path statues over there might represent evil.
Wynter raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the lotus wood cover in her hand couldn’t be anything good.
“Ms. Yeaton, do you believe in Mystic Path?” Wynter asked with a light laugh. It seemed that she
wanted to ease the tension.
Winnie immediately replied, “I occasionally pray. If you like this necklace, feel free to take it. I have
many more. You can pick one some other time.”
“Thank you, Ms. Yeaton.” Wynter had changed the way she addressed Winnie because of Marie’s
concern.
“What I’m interested in isn’t this necklace, but rather the lotus wood cover on the necklace. When you
asked for this item, didn’t the other party tell you that locust wood is prone to attract problems?”
Winnie looked puzzled. “Asked for it? Oh, I didn’t ask for this. It was…”
”
At this point, she paused, glanced at Marie subconsciously, and continued, “It was given to me by
Naomi, There’s also a very nice fragrance hidden inside. The sandalwood aroma is very calming.”
“Sandalwood?” Wynter turned the lotus wood cover, and the black mist inside didn’t move. Leo sniffed
and immediately covered his nose. “It’s stinky! It can’t be sandalwood!”
Any spirit would enjoy offerings.
There were many records of it in the Shumland mythology. Spirits who had absorbed sandalwood
would gain merit, which was very helpful in their spiritual cultivation.
Hence, spirits were willing to absorb sandalwood.
Leo, the twins, and Wolf didn’t like it.
Wynter smirked playfully. “This thing is probably corpse smell.”
Corpse smell?
Winnie didn’t understand fortune–telling, but she could tell from the words alone that this thing was
terrifying.
At this point, Marie was even more eager to grab the item and throw it away!
Wynter stopped her. “Mom, don’t touch it. I’ll take care of it.”
Winnie’s lips turned pale when she saw this. “Sevie, w–what is ‘corpse smell‘?”
“It’s something that came from the border. From what I understand about its ingredients, most of it is
made from human ashes. They also add some other random things to it. It’s used by some non–
traditional sects to influence their followers‘ thinking.”
When Wynter mentioned human ashes, Winnie began to quiver in fear. The most important thing was
that this had been a gift from Naomi!
