Chapter 17: Unusual Strangeness
Mo Xi's angry accusation made the surroundings silent, everyone was reminiscing about Mo Xi's words, and there was nothing to refute, only this explanation made sense why she didn't die, why the two girls became stone statues, why the witch god flower withered, but the doppelganger was intact, and why the witch god arrow would help her, protect her, and even surrender to her.
The patriarch's face was already pale at this time, but Elder Si's face was full of pain, could it be that he really almost killed the spirit girl by mistake?
Mo Xi didn't intend to let them go at all, she continued to say loudly: "I can stand any dislike from everyone, but I can't stand some people doing whatever they want in the name of the goddess, the goddess loves us, she is tolerant and kind, and treats every one of our witch people fairly, I will never allow anyone to blaspheme our great gods like this!"
Mo Xi said righteous indignation, and the clansmen who heard it were also indignant, yes, remembering that a moment ago, the patriarch and the elder Si had to directly sacrifice Mo Xi as a sacrifice to the goddess, and they also reversed right and wrong to say that his daughter was innocent and was killed by witchcraft.
The patriarch and the division elders seemed to have no power to return to heaven.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the goddess is merciful, I read the classics at Elder Yun a few days ago, and saw that ten thousand years ago, there were also people who were punished by the goddess and turned into stone statues, but after seven days, they automatically recovered their physical bodies, but I don't know that this time the goddess's anger will burn for a few days, maybe it was originally seven days, and this time it will be extended. After that, Mo Xi looked at Mo Ziyan's feet meaningfully.
The patriarch naturally caught her eyes, and immediately became furious, "You demon girl, you obviously made a move to make Yan'er recover her feet this morning, why is it like this now, what kind of magic have you used!"
This time, there was no need for Mo Xi to say anything, and the crowd broke out again.
"Today is the fifth day, and it really looks like it should be seven days to recover. ”
"It seems that the goddess was annoyed by what the patriarch had done and increased the punishment. ”
There was a lot of discussion, but no one thought about Moxi's demon art anymore, originally their thoughts completely followed Moxi, and it was impossible to correct it at this time.
Elder Yun silently watched this farce, shook his head and sighed, things have developed to this point, he didn't expect that the patriarch wanted to protect his daughter, he wanted to protect Moxi, originally no one was wrong, but the patriarch miscalculated people's hearts, he actually knew that Moxi has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and others are destined to be subdued by this heart.
"Are you a spirit girl?" asked one in a loud voice.
"I don't know, if it's a spirit girl, why can't I cultivate, if it's not a spirit girl, why do I have such a magical experience," Mo Xi said lightly, without the slightest gain or loss, as if whether it was a spirit girl or not, it couldn't have any impact on her.
"Perhaps, it's just that the goddess has mercy on me. Eventually, she attributed this to the mercy of the witch god.
As soon as the sacrificial ceremony is over, the truth about whether she is a spirit girl or not will be revealed, and at this time, she can advance or retreat, and no matter what the truth is, no one can criticize her for this.
And everyone's favorability towards her has risen because of this, so pampered and not surprised, even if it is really a spirit girl, it is completely acceptable.
A farce ended like this, everyone left one after another, only the patriarch and the elder Si stayed in place, in order to deal with Moxi, all the core elders arrived today, and after discussion just now, they all unanimously decided to temporarily remove the patriarch from his position, in order to appease everyone's anger, Elder Si also needs to recuperate in bed, and the sacrifice ceremony will be handed over to Elder Yan and Elder Yun to be responsible.
Several elders worked together to set up an enchantment, temporarily imprisoning the two and the two stone statues in the cave, at least until the sacrifice ceremony, they didn't think of it.
In this regard, although everyone was still indignant, they had no objections, after all, the sacrificial ceremony was more important, and it was not appropriate to deal with the two at this time.
On the way back, Moxi was surrounded by everyone like the stars holding the moon, and this time no one was carrying her to hurry, but everyone cooperated with her to walk slowly.
Maybe there are still many people who think she is an outlier, but they have a certain recognition of her character, the sacrifice is imminent, and when the time comes, the truth will be revealed whether Moxi is a spirit girl, if she is a spirit girl, then she will be high in the future, higher than the status of the patriarch, and she will become the faith of the entire Wu clan.
Mo Li has been looking at Mo Xi with bright eyes, he only knew today how smart and brave his sister is, she used her own strength to protect herself and protect her family, but he knew that he couldn't say anything at this time, he could only hold everything in his heart.
Only Elder Yun, full of worries, walked quietly beside Mo Xi, Mo Xi knew what he was worried about, but she couldn't make any guarantees.
The other elders were also silent, and when they walked to a crowded place, they dismissed everyone, and they also left one after another on the grounds of discussing the sacrifice, only Elder Yun still stood silent.
After a day of tossing, it was almost dusk, and the setting sun sprinkled a touch of brilliance on Elder Yun's childlike face, and Mo Xi actually saw a trace of loneliness on it.
"Second grandfather, don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary. Mo Xi reassured.
"They have been punished, and I just want to be safe for myself and my family. ”
Elder Yun touched Mo Xi's hair, nodded with satisfaction, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, he didn't know what he should ask, maybe Elder Si began to doubt whether Mo Xi was really a spirit girl, only he and the patriarch knew that all this was Mo Xi's plan, a plan that would include everyone.
He knew that Mo Xi didn't want to hide it from him, otherwise he wouldn't have said that it was a classic that he found in his house, whether there was such a book in his family, he was the one who knew best.
Shaking his head slightly, Elder Yun finally left without saying anything, and Mo Xi didn't say anything, his words were too straightforward, but they were not beautiful.
It's just that what surprised her a little was that Mo Li, who was so excited that she couldn't help herself, suddenly became unhappy when she started, and her eyes looking at Mo Xi were no longer sparkling and proud, but there was an indescribable pain.
Mo Xi was inexplicable, but she didn't ask anything, her mind was also a little messy now, things were going well, but she hadn't thought about how to arrange the patriarch and the elder Si, as well as the two women, she hadn't thought about it yet, no matter what, she needed to take care of Elder Yun's thoughts, this kind of indecision was completely impossible for her in her previous life.
The two returned home without saying a word, Daddy and Auntie hadn't woken up yet, Mo Li dragged Mo Xi into the house, arranged sound insulation, and asked with a serious face, but with a hint of expectation: "Xiaoxi, are you really a spirit girl?"
