Chapter XVIII: The Millennial Sacrifice
Inexplicably, Mo Xi felt that what Mo Li wanted to hear was not a positive answer, which made her even more surprised, shouldn't it be a very good thing for him to be a spirit girl?
Mo Li noticed Mo Xi's surprised eyes, coughed softly, and let go of the hand that was holding her arms tightly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." With that, he looked away a little evasively.
"Big brother, whether I am a spirit girl or not, I will always be your dearest sister, don't worry, I will always protect myself and protect this family. ”
"You don't need to protect this home!" Mo Li suddenly became angry and roared loudly, his fists clenched from just now creaking.
Mo Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke softly again: "Why? I'm finally a little useful, no longer a complete drag, if I were a spirit girl, I would be very happy." ”
"No, you won't be a spirit girl, you won't be!" Mo Li got up in a hurry and strode out as if he wanted to escape, the simple wooden door almost falling apart under his anger.
Mo Xi thought about it, and felt that Mo Li's abnormality would not be so simple, there was definitely something she didn't know, she didn't chase him, but simply freshened up, lay on the bed and fell asleep, she needed to recuperate, this battle is just a preliminary victory, I want to do it once and for all, now is not the time to relax.
The next day, she woke up with a burst of food aroma, Moxi's stomach gurgled, she slowly opened her eyes, remembering that she hadn't eaten anything all day yesterday, and she felt even more hungry.
Outside, Mo Li has returned to normal, but it seems to be colder than before, originally he was only cold in front of outsiders, and he has always been as warm as a spring breeze when he treats his family, but at this time he is expressionless, and even when he sees Mo Xi, there is no trace of a smile.
A-Niang saw Mo Xi and asked her to come out to eat quickly, she still stuck in the memory of three days ago, thinking that after eating, she would let Mo Li take her away from the 100,000 mountains, so as soon as she saw her, her eyes turned red.
"Daddy, Auntie, are you awake?" Obviously, Mo Li didn't say anything to them, Mo Xi smiled slightly, and didn't care, just asked about their physical condition with concern. "Do you feel uncomfortable? You've slept for three days, maybe it's because your spiritual power was overdepleted a few days ago. ”
With a "snap", the rice spoon in A-Niang's hand fell to the ground at once. "Three days?" Ah Niang's expression was shocked and fearful, looking at her husband, who also had a drastic change in face.
"Daddy, Auntie, don't worry, I'll be fine," hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Auntie comfortingly, pulled them to sit down, and made the things of the last few days clear.
In the blink of an eye, the sacrificial ceremony began, and Elder Yan and Elder Yun presided over in a decent manner, without any fancy, and the other elders had no objections.
Mo Xi came to the altar very early, that day she was called to learn the rules of the sacrificial ceremony after breakfast, after the last incident, it is obvious that she has a great possibility of becoming a spirit girl, if she is not allowed to participate in the ceremony, I am afraid that she will immediately be angry.
Standing here again, everyone smiled kindly at her, no longer the same as before, she kept smiling and nodding at everyone.
As soon as the sun rose, Elder Yun announced the start of the sacrifice, and the spiritual power array outside the valley was opened, enveloping the entire valley in it.
Everyone's expressions were serious and solemn, a snow-white witch god flower was held in the palm of the goddess's upward hand at the moment, exuding a holy light, more than a dozen elders sat around the altar, chanting words in their mouths, and wisps of spiritual power continued to gush out of their bodies, floating towards the center of the altar.
Elder Yun and Elder Si sat on the left and right of the statue of the goddess, one holding a green branch in his hand, and the green leaves on the branch were crystal clear and shimmering with mist.
Dozens of school-age girls walked up to the altar, each of them wore pure white clothes, wearing a garland of flowers, and stood on the edge of the altar in an orderly manner, about two thousand witch clans, only a few dozen school-age girls, under their feet, if you look closely, they are all special symbols, connecting the runes that meander to the feet of the goddess.
The two thousand tribesmen were all prostrate around the altar at this moment, praying sincerely, and dozens of girls closed their eyes, folded their hands on their chests, and looked nervous.
All the sacrifices are melons, fruits and vegetables, and the meat is almost gone, neatly placed in front of the goddess, exuding a fragrance, which makes the absent-minded Moxi drool a little.
Except for the voices of more than a dozen elders chanting incantations, there was no movement around them, and wisps of spiritual power emanated from them, gradually enveloping the whole body of the goddess statue, like mist, ethereal with a sense of unreality.
Mo Xi opened her eyes, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, her position was directly opposite the statue of the goddess, the stone statue without a face actually gave her a sense of familiarity, in the haze, it seemed that she could feel that there were two lines of sight on the stone statue staring at her.
This strange feeling made her heart startled, and she obediently continued to close her eyes, what she didn't see was that the moment she closed her eyes, a huge spiritual power surged out from the feet of the goddess statue, rushing towards these dozens of girls along the rune veins, including Moxi.
With the continuous strengthening of spiritual power, dozens of girls began to rotate in mid-air with the goddess statue as the center, the speed went from slow to fast, and finally it was almost to the point where the naked eye could not see clearly, although there was spiritual power support, the girls were also a little dizzy, but only Mo Xi could barely hold himself.
Dozens of elders gradually sweated on their foreheads, but they didn't dare to slack off at all, and the words in their mouths became more and more informative, Elder Si and Elder Yun were even more pale, and the green branches in their hands became more and more shiny, and the green seemed to be able to flow oil, and the bodies of the other clans who were prostrate on the ground were also glowing with a trace of spiritual light, but it was not spiritual power in the ordinary sense, and slowly, they all gathered around the statue of the goddess.
At this critical moment, a cold figure dressed in black robes and black hair appeared at the mouth of the valley, looking at the large array that enveloped the entire valley, his eyebrows were slightly raised, he stretched out his right hand, and pressed it flat on the enchantment, only to see that the place where the hand was connected to the enchantment was a burst of ripples, and then, his hand passed, and then his body also passed through the enchantment, and the enchantment rippled for a flash, and returned to the same as before.
