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.
