Chapter 15: Reversal
It's just that everyone can't figure it out, what kind of magic Mo Xi uses, she can turn a living person into a stone man, although she is not close, but she grew up under the watch, she has been humble but cowardly since she was a child, and a large part of her is still skeptical.
Everyone's reaction naturally couldn't escape the patriarch's eyes, and he coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be calm.
Looking at the sky, the sun was gradually approaching overhead, "Zi Yan and Mo Ying, those two girls, have recovered at this moment, if you don't believe it, you can follow me to pick up those two children and come back, and see with your own eyes the fate of the people who killed them!"
The patriarch was not worried about what Mo Xi would say, even if she said that she saved her, it only confirmed her charge of killing her fellow clan, and it did her no good, and Mo Xi didn't want to say anything, and was always quiet.
The patriarch walked in front, and everyone walked towards the direction of the cave, she also walked slowly, and when she raised her eyes slightly, she saw the eldest brother Moli walking beside her, like a leopard, she could easily feel his tightness, as if ready to start at any time.
She was a little worried, and frequently glanced at him, but he was unmoved, still tense, and Mo Xi was a little helpless.
This time she didn't go so long, everyone had been cultivating for a long time, and it was the easiest thing for them to hurry, no one took special care of her, and the two people in charge of guarding her had one hand on their own, so they easily dragged her forward, and Mo Li's eyes were on fire, but he didn't act rashly.
In about a quarter of an hour, everyone came to the stone cave, and the patriarch took the lead in walking in, if he wasn't forced to do so, he would definitely choose to stay by Mo Ziyan's side and wait for her to recover slowly.
At this moment, his mood is very excited, his beloved daughter has recovered, and the person who mutilated her is about to be punished, and this time, he is no longer worried about causing dissatisfaction among the clansmen because of taking Moxi as a sacrifice, and it is beneficial to him everywhere, and the goddess blesses him.
But when he walked into the stone cave, thinking that his daughter could pounce into his arms as usual, he opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and saw two stone sculptures standing in front of him without the slightest change, and he subconsciously looked at their feet, still gray in color, as if the previously restored body was just his hallucination.
Then everyone who came was in an uproar, Elder Si frowned even more, only Elder Yun looked at Moxi thoughtfully.
"Didn't you say it had been restored?"
"Who knows, I will say that this is the punishment of the goddess, where is it so easily lifted. ”
"What's going on with Moxi? She did appear alive. ”
The sound of everyone's discussion was not small, and every word floated to the ears of the patriarch, and his stunned face was quickly dyed with anger. His knife-like eyes shot at Mo Xi, wanting to question her what was going on, but Mo Xi just winked at him naughtily, innocent, and he almost vomited blood in anger.
"Patriarch, what's going on? aren't you going to explain it?" Elder Yun suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion, and everyone looked at the patriarch, obviously waiting for his explanation, at this time, the patriarch was difficult to ride a tiger, and he was full of remorse, he had already realized that he had fallen for Moxi's poisonous scheme, but at this time, he couldn't explain it at all.
"Let me tell you," the ethereal and tactful voice sounded, Mo Xi slowly raised her head, ignoring the patriarch's warning eyes, at this moment she was standing in front of everyone, originally to facilitate the "trial" of her, but at this time, it was conducive to her "clarifying the facts".
The cave is very spacious, but even if the number of Wu people is not large, there are nearly 2,000 people, and there are no less than 500 people who came this time, so more than half of the people actually did not enter the cave at all, but what happened inside and what was said could not be hidden from everyone's ears, and Moxi was not worried that anyone would not hear it, so as to spread the rumor.
"That day, I just wanted to repent in front of the goddess, I thought that if I did something wrong in my previous life, the goddess punished me and forbade me to cultivate, then I should repent from time to time, maybe one day the goddess will forgive my mistakes and be able to make me a normal witch clan. ”
Mo Xi's voice was very low, there was a kind of grievance, but there was no complaint, such an opening remark successfully aroused everyone's sympathy for her, yes, she has not done anything wrong since she was a child, but she has been suffering from the accusations and difficulties that her thin shoulders can't bear, she didn't complain at all, and wanted to repent for her previous life, what a weak and helpless child.
Then they came out, "No need to name names, everyone also knows that "they" refers to Mo Ziyan and them, that day all the school-age girls in the clan went to the main hall to receive sacrificial training, so as not to misbehave and collide with the goddess, of course, this "all" does not include Mo Xi.
"Sister Mo Ying suddenly yelled at me a few words, saying that I shouldn't appear in front of the goddess," Mo Xi's voice became more and more aggrieved, and the people present at the time described the situation that day to the people around them, Mo Ying's words were extremely mean, but Mo Xi said it lightly, without adding the slightest oil and vinegar, so that everyone's impression of her was a little better.
"You really shouldn't be there, you're blaspheming the great goddess!" Elder Si strongly interrupted Mo Xi's words, motioned to his subordinates to control her, and then continued, "It has been discussed before, Mo Xi is the sacrifice of this sacrifice ceremony, only if the person who curses the goddess is sacrificed, the spirit girl can appear, and we will not perish!"
Elder Si's words were loud, he was never as indecisive as the patriarch, looking ahead and looking ahead, and the most effective way was often simple and direct.
The people who were originally talking about it were suddenly silenced, the sacrifice, the spirit girl, has always been a boulder that has been pressing on the hearts of the Wu people, everything involves this, then all the thin feelings will stand aside, and everyone's sympathy for Moxi is the thin feelings, they are not enough to support everyone to sacrifice the slim hope to protect her.
"You are a communiqué for personal vendetta, a bully!" Mo Li, who had been standing beside Mo Xi, suddenly roared angrily, he would never allow anyone to hurt his sister for such a reason.
"Big brother," Mo Xi's voice carried a soothing effect, hoping that Mo Li could calm down, and the two people in charge of guarding her looked shocked, they obviously sealed her mouth with spiritual power.
They didn't know that since Mo Xi came out of the stone room, although she still couldn't cultivate, the coercion and restraint of general spiritual power were no longer useful to her, even if she was locked up in this cave for the past two days, it was her own deliberate effort to lower the patriarch's vigilance, otherwise, she could go out at any time.
"You must not know how I came back to life," the front has been completely foreshadowed, and Mo Xi doesn't want to waste any more time, "Actually, I was saved by the goddess." ”
