I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 323 - 287: Spiritual Blessing

At one o’clock in the morning, the northern small town has no nightlife, and the streets are already empty.

Behind the hospital, Sang Que lets the Yin Child climb up and down, touching the camera with his little hand, causing it to malfunction.

To ensure the summoning soul goes smoothly, Sang Que cannot spread the Ghost Realm and must burn paper at an unobstructed crossroad. She has no better solution against the satellites overhead.

The power of the supernatural is indeed strong, but sometimes it pales in comparison to technological strength.

Sang Que opens the box containing the clay child statue and places it at the intersection, leaving the next steps to her mother.

Light the candles, place the offerings, burn incense and ghost money, and silently recite the Child Summoning spell. If it doesn’t work after three attempts, she must give up and try again in a few days.

The book is a translated version in Southern Ocean language, which Sang Que and Sang Wan cannot read, so they try it in Chinese.

Originally, Sang Que had collected many baby spirits in her copper mirror, but most were Southern Ocean spirits. On one hand, Sang Que felt it would be difficult to communicate with them in Chinese later, and on the other, their resentment was too strong and fierce.

Sang Que stands at a distance, silently watching Sang Wan kneel at the crossroads, chanting in front of the box.

After finishing the first chant, a breeze arises, and the shadow of a seven or eight-year-old boy appears beside Sang Wan.

The boy wears a hospital gown and a hat, clearly in a post-chemotherapy state, possibly a child who died in the hospital.

Sang Wan, as the person summoning the child, also sees the boy at this moment.

"If you’re willing to protect me in the future, I can help fulfill your wish. I will offer incense every morning and evening. When you achieve your virtue and want to reincarnate, give me a dream, and I will release you immediately, without breaking this oath."

Sang Wan raises her hand and swears.

The boy looks back in the direction of the hospital; Sang Wan senses something and nods subtly. The boy immediately turns into a gust of wind, blowing away all the paper ashes beside the wooden box and merging into the statue.

Success on the first attempt.

Sang Que runs over, "Mom, what was his wish?"

Sang Wan carefully closes the box. With satellites overhead, spiritual blessing is best done when they return home.

"He said he had been ill for two years, exhausting the family’s savings. His younger sister still needs care from their parents. He hopes I can give his parents a sum of money. I’ll look into his identity later and find a way to give his parents a million."

Sang Que nods; this child is still filial after death, proving he’s a good kid. Having a good child with mom, she feels relieved. Money is a minor issue, and it should be given. The gold bars she brought back from Southern Ocean exceed a million.

Originally, she considered bringing things back from Deceit Dynasty to resell, but it seemed too unsafe. Now with the Southern Ocean to gain experience and gold bars, she’ll go there if she needs money in the future.

Or deal with criminal elements in Huaxia and help clean them out. As long as she catches one, Ghost Eye Tracking will destroy their lair.

Returning home, Sang Que quickly performs spiritual blessing on the child statue.

Spiritual blessing is like the martial arts novels’ technique of passing skill, transferring a portion of Sang Que’s power to the child, rapidly boosting his strength.

After finishing the spiritual blessing, the boy emerges from the statue. His originally illusory body becomes nearly solid, still wearing a hospital gown and hat, curiously surveying the surroundings.

Sang Wan places the child statue on the bookshelf in the study. The boy is very curious about the books. During the first few days after his death, he couldn’t touch anything; now he reaches out, and a book is picked up by him.

The boy appears very happy, squatting under the bookshelf, starting to read.

If others were here, they might see a book floating in mid-air, turning pages on its own.

The Great General is very wary of the boy, with ears always perked up, never leaving Sang Wan’s side. Sang Wan squats down, patiently explaining several times to the Great General before he eases off his vigilance.

Sang Que also hands the Ghost King Demon Slayer Sword to Sang Wan, telling her to carry it along with the Exorcism Red Candle when going out.

There’s also a flint obtained from Wan Xiangtou, on which is golden Buddhist text; Sang Que had previously forgotten it, only recently rediscovering it.

The flames of this flint carry the power of the Buddhist Sect. At the time, it instantly burned all of Little Chan’s hair. If she hadn’t timely severed Little Chan’s hair, Little Chan would have been engulfed by the fire.

Not knowing how long the flint can last, Sang Que gives it to her mom for peace of mind.

In the ensuing week, Sang Que didn’t rush to Deceit Dynasty, continuing to attend school as usual.

She deliberately kept her distance from Sang Wan, temporarily staying in a hotel near home, observing whether the story relay group would specifically target her mom.

During this period, Sang Wan went to the hospital and found out about the boy’s information, enabling Sang Que, using Ghost Eye, to obtain the bank account of the boy’s parents.

Sang Wan bought a teddy bear, placing an Exorcism Talisman inside, and visited the boy’s sister, giving the teddy bear to the little girl, saying it was sent by her brother.

In addition, there was a letter written in the boy’s handwriting and tone.

The letter apologized to his parents, stating he was going to reincarnate, and informing them their account would receive a million, earned from his past life’s merit. He assured them the money’s origin was legitimate and encouraged them to use it confidently to raise his sister properly.

The letter was brought home by the boy’s sister, and Sang Wan went to the bank to transfer funds, resolving the matter. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

On Sang Que’s end, she encounters strange events almost daily, while Sang Wan remains unscathed.

On February 28th, a Friday, after school, Sang Que asks the teacher for leave and informs Ye Changqing. To the teacher, the reason is filming, while for Ye Changqing, it’s to find a master and train, temporarily avoiding harassment from the story relay group.

On the 14th, returning from Deceit Dynasty, spending half a month at home, it’s time to go back and continue her venture.

In the bedroom, Sang Que lays out several newly custom-made ancient clothes on the bed; they are all spring designs, mainly dark red and black, looking more composed.

Alongside her Hunting Bow and two Hand Crossbows.

Underfoot, two boxes are filled with Obsidian Arrowhead arrows, crossbow arrows, and a box full of firecrackers.

The blueprints for the hand crossbow and gunpowder formula, Jiang Zao has also placed in a box.

Jiang Zao seems to know Ye Changqing. Ever since Ye Changqing visited her a few times, Jiang Zao looks at her with an expression of understanding, and when Sang Que requests something, Jiang Zao no longer asks the reasons, as long as Sang Que pays enough, Jiang Zao will make it.

Jiang Zao even borrowed her family’s workshop from her grandfather, equipped with professional lathes and tools, doubling efficiency.

Perhaps the puppet troupe of Jiang Zao’s family is also a special trade, collaborating with the research institute?

Sang Que really wants to take Jiang Zao to Deceit Dynasty, but it’s too dangerous, and without experiencing the college entrance exam, life is incomplete. She also bribed Jiang Zao to help her with homework, so let Jiang Zao continue at school.

Other things, like food, vermillion obsidian, these essential supplies, have been purchased and stored in the warehouse rented by Sang Wan; this time for Deceit Dynasty, Sang Que will depart from the warehouse.

Before departure, Sang Que checks all the items she currently has.

First are the things obtained from the Southern Ocean, numerous corpses, baby spirits, thirty hunting rifles, five boxes of bullets, including two short-barreled shotguns purchased, all stored in Bright Moon Mountain.

The mummies have been devoured by her, and there’s a translated book on Black Magic; she plans to study and learn this slowly once in Deceit Dynasty, when she has spare time.

The Ghost King Demon Slayer Sword given to her mom, twenty-five coffin nails, one used on the clay child statue, leaving four for her mom, and she takes twenty.

Various corpse oils, totaling eleven, and Yin Talismans, including the one on Sallya, nine in total, considered somewhat sinister, cannot be left at home, will all be taken to Bright Moon Mountain.

Then, there are things she had before.

The Dao Bell given to Yao Zhen, ink bucket and Copper Coin Armor also with Yao Zhen; the Copper Coin Armor is heavily contaminated and requires a period for Yao Zhen to purify and enhance, and the ink needed for the ink bucket will take time to blend.

The Human Bone Dice, embroidered shoes, phoenix hairpin, Mandarin Duck Jade Pendant on her person, two red nails already given to Luo Danian, red veil ’Deceitful Bride’ in use.

The copper mirror sealed with many baby spirits, Mountain Ghost Token, Connected Branch, one mole, "Corpse Nourishing Secret Technique," Ghost Vendor’s List, all packed in the bag.

Sang Que changes into dark red fitted clothes, her hair tied high with a matching band, Hunting Bow and Arrow Quiver slung on her back.

She is always lacking a handy knife.

More and more items are accumulating, and the crossbody bag doesn’t accommodate much, like the hand crossbow and shotgun, which won’t fit in the bag.

Preparing everything, Sang Que informs her mom, like usual, before going out. Her mom responds from the study but doesn’t come out to see her off.

Facing the mirror, Sang Que sticks a mole at the corner of her eye, takes all the items, avoids surveillance cameras outside, and instant teleports away, laying out the Ghost Realm near the warehouse to conceal her movement.

In half a month’s time, it remains unknown how far the infrastructural progress at Bright Moon Mountain has reached, and what new changes have occurred with the corpses, especially Sallya’s body.
