Chen Ping'an and Li Xisheng walked up the stairs and went to the second floor of the bamboo building. They stood there and gazed into the distance.
Meanwhile, the young Cui Ci and the two little children remained downstairs and gazed at each other.
"Do you know the meaning behind Fortune Street and Peach Leaf Alley?" Li Xisheng asked.
Chen Ping'an shook his head in response. All he knew was that the people who lived on these streets and alleys were rich, extremely rich. The paths were paved with bluestone slabs, and there were also stone lions outside the residences. In fact, even the door gods on their front gates appeared more spirited and lively.
Li Xisheng held up the peach wood talisman in his hand and explained, "Fortune is a homonym with talisman, and the first character of the street name represents the character talisman[1]. As for Peach Leaf Alley, the character peach corresponds with the peach in peach wood talisman. Combining the names of the street and alley together, we get peach wood talisman."
A look of realization spread across Chen Ping'an's face.
"This is a huge fated opportunity of the small town, and it's possible that this peach wood talisman is an even greater opportunity than those matters of the Five Elements, such as the golden carp."
Li Xisheng continued to explain the situation, saying, "I had a strange dream near the end of the year, and I can vaguely remember seeing many people and many things. However, I forgot everything after I woke up. I feel like I played a game of Go with someone, and I also feel like I learned about the hidden secrets pertaining to the peach wood talisman. The complicated nature of it is as mystical as can be. It's truly difficult to explain."
Li Xisheng pointed at the bamboo building and said, "I initially wanted to hang this peach wood talisman on the front door of the bamboo building to ward off all evils and defend against all mystical powers. This might sound a little exaggerated, but this peach wood talisman can indeed protect this mystical bamboo building and allow it to become even sturdier and more indestructible. Moreover, as time passes, the presence of the peach wood talisman will also lead to the growth of all kinds of plant and tree essences..."
After saying this, Li Xisheng smiled and asked in amusement, "Chen Ping'an, do you really not want it? Such a good opportunity won't present itself again in the future."
"Since it's such an impressive item, you should leave it for yourself, Brother Li," Chen Ping'an replied without hesitation. "Aren't you going to leave and embark on a long journey soon? I just returned from a long journey, and there are a myriad of bizarre and wonderful things, but also countless lurking dangers. So, you're definitely going to need these powerful immortal tools."
There was a wide smile on Li Xisheng's face, and he asked, "Do you feel like I lack immortal tools?"
Chen Ping'an faltered upon hearing this, and he immediately recalled Li Xisheng's battle...
