Yu Moji always hesitates when he speaks, especially in front of an acquaintance like Yuan Yizhi, who has always been unable to get rid of a submissive image; But when it comes to doing things, it's actually a person who is quite anxious.

With the guidance of the boss who sold tea, Yu Moji was pressed by Yuan Zhizhi even though he planned to go to the Xuannu Temple.

"After a whole day of shopping yesterday, I see that you are tired, so it is better to go home and rest first. Since we are sincere to Xuannu Niangniang, we are not in a hurry at this time. After a few days, it's not too late to go again. ”

Yu Moji was a little confused. She had no idea what seedling raising was. When she pretended to be a village girl to farm, she was just asked by Yuan Zhizhi to do something, and she learned to do it, but as for the reason, she didn't understand anything at all.

But since Yuan Pingzhi said so, Yu Moji was not easy to refute, and she was about to follow Yuan Pingzhi back first, when she heard the boss interject, "It's best not to stop your daughter-in-law." If you don't allow your mother-in-law to visit her, and do something that makes the lady unhappy, she will be angry, and maybe disaster will come. ”

Yuan Pingzhi's expression was immediately a little embarrassed. Yu Mochen hurriedly continued, "This doesn't matter, he ...... He treats me very well on weekdays. I ran around the market for a day and a night, and it was really disrespectful to go to the Xuannu Temple so unkempt...... In a few days, I'll take a good look at it, and it's not too late to visit Xuannu Niangniang again. ”

Yuan Yizhi's original intention was obviously to publicize the reason why Yu Moji wanted to go to the Xuannu Temple, and when he went back, he told his neighbors that Yu Moji was a filial daughter. Unexpectedly, within two days, Yuan Zhizhi suffered.

The field they rented was on a very high position, and when they watered the fields, they had to go to the stream below to fetch water. The country mountain roads are unruly, and one of the narrow roads that must be passed is a mountain on one side and a very steep slope on the other. Children and elderly people in the village are not allowed to walk this road because their pace is not steady enough.

Yuan Yizhi is half a military general in the end, and this kind of dirt road can't make it difficult for him. It's just that on this day, he went to fetch water early in the morning, but on the way back, somehow, he stumbled under his feet, and the two buckets and his whole body were all turned down the slope. Fortunately, he is good after all, and he is good at adapting, and he grabbed an ash tree in the accident, and he didn't fall into any major problems.

When Yuan returned to their dilapidated house, the image of his gray face startled Yu Moji. Yuan Zhizhi was quite particular when he was in the imperial capital, but he didn't bother much at this time, he just dusted off his robe, described it to Yu Moji, and commented, "I'm afraid this is the so-called Xuannu Niangniang's disaster." ”

Yu Mojin couldn't help laughing, "Even you believe it?" ”

Yuan Pingzhi shook his head and said, "The connection between these two things is too close, and it is really strange. What's more, although many people will stumble on familiar roads, not many will hallucinate before stumbling. ”

Yu Moji's brows furrowed, "You mean, someone is really making trouble?" ”

Yuan Zhizhi, "I think it should be so." It's just that the man's hidden tricks seem to be quite clever, and I only heard a sound, and I didn't even see the figure, and I was already attacked. He smiled bitterly and continued, "Anyway, it's time to meet this Xuannu for a while." ”

Since Yuan Yizhi has suffered, Yu Moji has no reason to delay any longer. She dressed up casually that day, took Yuan Yizhi, and went to Kagawa Town, where the Xuannu Temple was located.

After all, Kagawa Town is not very prosperous in the border between the two counties, but the Xuannu Temple is still in a rather remote cypress forest on the edge of this town. The two of them walked a little into the forest and saw a street sign that read "Bo Xing Man Stops Here". Yuan Zhizhi showed a little wry smile and said, "I'm still waiting for you outside." ”

Yu Mochen never thought that Yuan Yizhi would be associated with the word "Bo Xing", so he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to continue to move forward alone, looking for the mysterious Xuannu Temple.

Yu Moji finally found a place, and before he got close, he felt a chill. There wasn't just one ancestral hall in front of her. There seemed to be buildings behind the ancestral hall, but they were all shrouded in a sudden mist, and the shadows were not clear.

Around the Xuannu Temple, there is no one except for the ink marks. Yu Moji pushed open the door, only to see two holy maidens standing beside the statue of the Xuannu Niangniang. They were all covered in black veils, their eyes were cold, and they occasionally moved around for a moment or two, but they did not speak.

In front of the statue of the god there was a copper basin with a fire burning in it; Further forward in the copper basin, there was another holy woman, who was accompanying a little girl kneeling on the futon, and whispered to guide her to visit the Xuannu Niangniang.

Yu Mojin had seen these two people. That little girl was the one who had planted a straw sign for herself in the bazaar a few days ago; The saint on the side is also the one who took Zhao Di away that day.

Yu Mochen didn't know what the procedure was for visiting the Xuannu Niangniang, and he was a little at a loss after coming in. She looked at the two still holy maidens, who glanced back at her, but did not come forward to speak, and moved her empty gaze elsewhere.

Yu Mochen felt a little embarrassed, so he had to stand quietly to the side and watch the little girl finish the worship.

Seeing that the holy maiden prayed to the Xuannu Niangniang, she took out two long black plates that seemed to be made of some kind of bone from the divine case, and taught the little girl to throw them into the copper basin. It looks like divination. The two long pieces of bone were burned by the flames, and soon there was a cracking sound. The two still saintesses stepped forward slowly, and the three of them took a look at the burning condition of the bone plate, glanced at each other, and said, "Great murderer." ”

One of the saints who had been standing still took out a long plate from the fire with his bare hands, walked past Yu Moji, pushed open the door and went out.

The little girl was obviously frightened by the result, and her little face turned obviously white.

The saint who had been guiding her squatted down, took her hand, and said, "Don't be afraid. For those who do something wrong, Xuan Nu Niangniang will send down a fair punishment. In order to raise the boys in the family, your father not only brought you, his own flesh and blood, to the market to sell, but also tried to deceive Xuannu Niangniang, saying that it was your own intention, such a great traitor, Xuannu Niangniang would definitely not leave his life in the world. ”

Yu Moji was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that this Xuannu Temple was really involved in the murder.

But Xuannu Niangniang is just a clay idol, how can she take the life of a living person? Could it be that the saint who went out was going to kill the middle-aged man who sold his own daughter?

Yu Mochen was suspicious in her heart, but she couldn't leave rashly at the moment. She could only hope that Yuan Yizhi, who was waiting outside the door, that this person would be careful enough to notice the holy woman who had left the Xuannu Temple.

When the saint said this, she meant to comfort the little girl; But the words were so violent that the little girl's face became more and more pale, and she muttered, "But...... That's my daddy. ”

When the saint heard this, she was immediately a little annoyed, "He treats you like this, it is worse than an animal, and you still think of him as a father?" She snorted angrily, turned her head and prayed to the statue again, and her face gradually softened.

This saint has probably communicated with the Xuannu Niangniang. It's just that the way they communicate with each other is really beyond the level that Yu Moji can understand.

After receiving the guidance of the clay statue, the saint lowered her head and gently comforted the little girl, "Xuannu Niangniang showed me that there is no taboo in fairy tales. You are still young and not very sensible, and I think that Xuan Nu Niangniang will spare you this time. But from now on, this kind of unreasonable stupid talk must not be said again. ”

The little girl looked ignorant when she said this. The holy woman had already pulled her to her feet, and said, "Since the Xuannu Niangniang has rescued you, you are already homeless, so it is better to officially stay in our Xuannu Temple from now on." After that, you can become a saint like your sisters, and protect all the women in the world from this calamity. ”

Yu Mochen was shocked when he heard this, only to feel that this little girl was really pitiful, and his biological father wanted to sell her; The saint who came to save her turned around and wanted to kill her family, forcibly turned her into an orphan and put her in the Xuannu Temple, and the reason given was still so high-sounding.

There are many suspicious things in this Xuannu Temple, and Yu Moji is really worried about this little girl, so he can't help blurting out, "In this ancestral hall, how can you raise this little girl?" ”

When the saint heard this, she immediately glanced back at the ink marks.

There was always a mysterious aura in her gaze. Yu Moji was a little flustered by this glance, and immediately felt that he was too rash to speak rashly, which might be detrimental to his future investigation work, and he regretted it at the moment.

The saint was not annoyed, but only made a gesture of prayer to the idol, and explained, "I have heard that you are not a local, and I don't know about it. Determined to protect the women of the world, she decreed that we should establish a Salesian Bureau to take in girls abandoned by their parents. ”

Yu Mochen saw that this strange-tempered saintess did not have a seizure this time, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he asked again, "I just listened to the meaning of the conversation between the saint and this little girl, will this girl in the Salesian Bureau also become a saint when she grows up?" ”

"It's nature." The holy woman said, "First, the Xuannu blessed these girls and raised them by grace; Second, they are all poor people, at a young age, they can no longer find a place in this world, and when they grow up in the future, where can they go? If you fall into the tiger's mouth of those lucky men again, won't you live up to the cultivation grace of Xuannu Niangniang. ”

Yu Moji said in his heart, these words are conclusive, and they sound reasonable, but they are actually quite nonsense. She has always believed that even biological parents have no right to decide what they will do in the future for their children, not to mention that this Xuannu Niangniang, in the final analysis, is just a clay idol.

Moreover, with a few casual words, the holy woman gave a verdict to all the men in the world. Although Yu Mochen had a father she hated herself, she had also seen many counterexamples. For example, Yuan Yizhi, as a general of the Great Qi Empire, has always been concerned about a woman on a boat despite many difficulties; Another example is Lu Chen, as a husband, even though he has a lot of last resort, he is always concerned about Jinniang. How can people like them be said to be lucky?

However, after all, this place is the territory of the Xuannu Niangniang, in front of the saints, Yu Moji did not want to have more rights and wrongs, so he did not refute the saints' remarks.

I only heard the holy woman say, "I heard that you came here to ask the mysterious girl to bless your mother. ”

Yu Mochen couldn't help but marvel in his heart, the eyes and ears of the Xuannu Sect were really wide, and what Yuan Yizhi deliberately spread out, they knew so quickly.

Yu Mojin frowned slightly, and said, "I just thought it was strange. I haven't talked about myself since I came here, but the saint knows that I'm not a local, and now she's betrayed the purpose of my visit. How? ”
