Chapter 5 Sacrifices
"Yes, what Elder Si said is right, although my clan has few heirs, but she is an outlier, and she can't be regarded as the real heir of my clan, otherwise why could his parents give birth to two children?"
"Yes, patriarch, take advantage of this sacrifice to purify her soul. ”
Everyone who says what you say and I say is all supporting the elder of the division, and the director is called Mosi, who is more than 200 years old and has a high prestige in the clan.
At this moment, an elder with crane hair and a childish face sitting on the lower left of the patriarch stood up suddenly, blowing his beard and glaring, obviously angry.
"Nonsense! That's a child, it's a child of our witch clan, and you're going to sacrifice her, what the hell do you want to do?"
"What are the children of our Wu Clan? Are there any children of our Wu Clan who can't cultivate? She has been cursed since birth, she is cursed by the Wu God!"
The patriarch quietly listened to the arguments of several clan elders, his eyebrows were tightly locked, the Wu clan has multiplied for tens of thousands of years, although the heirs are scarce, but there has never been an infighting, it has always been united and loving, and it is to protect the next generation as an eyeball, otherwise, with the reproduction ability of the Wu clan, it may have been drowned in the long river of history, where can it exist to this day.
The existence of Moxi has always been a controversial topic among the clan, probably due to the disconnection of the spirit girl and the decline of the Wu clan, which makes the people in the clan panic, and the clansmen need to have a way to vent, and the appearance of Moxi seems to give everyone a reason to vent, if there is not a trace of reason, with the patriarch's prevention, Moxi may not grow at all.
Now that the thousand-year-old sacrifice is imminent, if there are disagreements because of Moxi's reasons, then if the sacrifice fails, not only will he be blamed for obstruction, but Moxi will also face a more tragic end.
But a fresh life is ruthlessly stifled in everyone's speculation, and what kind of seeds will be planted in the hearts of a small number of rational people in the clan, including the parents and relatives of the children?
Could it be that the unity of the Wu clan for tens of thousands of years is about to be destroyed?
"Patriarch, what are you hesitating about, there are still a few days before the sacrifice ceremony, and the sacrifices must be prepared three days in advance, do you want to watch the Wu Clan destroy in our hands?"
Elder Si's voice was slightly deep, and his brows were furrowed.
"Fart, don't use that girl as a sacrifice, our witch clan will be ruined?"
"If the sacrifice fails, can you be responsible? This time there is no spirit girl, and the witch spirit flower is completely withered, what will be the consequences? Are you going to gamble the entire witch clan for a person who has been cursed by the witch god?"
Elder Si looked at Elder Yun, who was flushed with anger on the other side, and his voice sounded slowly, but every word was heartbroken.
"You guys!"
Elder Yun was angry, but he was helpless, looking at the entire meeting hall, he was the only one who made a proposal to stop Mo Xi as a sacrifice, and some people who usually defended Mo Xi were silent after one big hat after another, as if he had accepted his fate, he was suddenly a little tired, and his childish face seemed to have a little wrinkles.
"That's it, that's it, I'm old, I don't care about the rest, you go to Zhang Luo, I'll just say one more thing, if because of your decision today, there is a rift within the Wu Clan, we are sinners through the ages!"
The old man turned around slowly, no longer in the past, as if he had a thousand pounds on his shoulders, and finally sighed and paced out, leaving everyone with a desolate and gloomy back.
The patriarch sighed lightly, how could he not understand what Elder Yun said, but as Elder Si said, did they really want to bet on the entire Wu clan for a girl?
-----------------------------------
Mo Xi, who had just woken up, was a little confused, looked at her surroundings, and realized that she had been reborn, remembering her guess before going to bed, she packed up and prepared to find an excuse to go out.
As soon as dawn dawned, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she smelled the smell of food, and a young woman in plain clothes was busy with her back to her in front of the stove in the courtyard.
"Xi'er got up, you didn't eat last night and rested, are you hungry? ”
The woman stirred in the pot with a soup spoon, and turned around and smiled softly at Moxi.
Mo Xi's heart was shocked, she had never known what family affection was, but at this moment, she suddenly coveted this smile, as if it could melt her heart.
"Auntie. ”
The two words spit out gently, and it seemed that there was still an afterglow wrapped around the tip of her tongue, making her lips slightly numb.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, the meal will be ready immediately, today A-Niang made you your favorite fideloid soup. ”
Filament is a long strip of fungus, after picking, break it, and the flesh inside will completely spread out, like a hair, extremely fine.
The original owner loves to drink the soup made by the filamentous mushrooms, Mo Xi thought, maybe she just likes the silky feeling when the filaments are in the mouth.
When he washed his hands, Mo Xi saw that Daddy was guiding Mo Li's cultivation, and when he saw Mo Xi coming over, he kindly touched Mo Xi's hair, his palms were wide and a little rough, and he felt very secure.
The meal was quickly ready, and Moxi enjoyed the first family dinner in her life, she felt that this was the happiness she had stolen, warm and apprehensive.
Everyone in the Wu clan can practice spiritual power, and after practicing for a few years, food is not what they need every day, but Moxi is an ordinary person, with weak spiritual power in his body, but he can't practice, so three meals a day are essential, so the entire Wu clan, only her family will have the fragrance of food wafting every day.
This is also one of the places where their family does not fit in.
After the meal, Daddy and Auntie took Mo out with him, and Mo Xi knew that they were going to deliver spiritual power to the Witch Spirit Flower.
It is said that the witch spirit flower withered, and the witch clan will also disappear, originally as long as there is a spirit girl, the witch spirit flower will be prosperous, but since the spirit girl broke off the generation, it has become more and more "weak", and then the entire witch clan was divided into three groups, and every day to deliver spiritual power to the witch spirit flower, even if it was so painstaking, it only slowed down the pace of its decay, but could not stop.
"Alas, is my Wu clan really going to perdition?"
This is what Daddy said at the dinner table, Ah Niang and Mo Li were also silent, getting closer and closer to the thousand-year-old sacrifice, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing, which made the family members who never mentioned these things in front of Mo Xi couldn't help but sigh.
After they left, Mo Xi quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, took the dagger that saved her life, and hurried to the place where the giant snake was yesterday.
Along the way, Mo Xi tried to avoid meeting other people, but fortunately, this is a valley, there are many obstacles, and with the arrival of the sacrificial day, everyone either seized the time to cultivate and replenish spiritual power, or went to convey spiritual power to Wu Linghua, creating an opportunity for her.
Of course, if it is the original owner, it is impossible to get out of the valley without knowing it, but it is by no means difficult for her now.
Soon, she arrived at her destination, but the sight in front of her made her eyes shrink.
