What the sorceress said sounded really rational. She postured hard and elongated the words to make herself convincing.
Plus, across those years, she had accumulated much trust from the villagers, so people believed what she said now.
Xie Mengxuan sneered while crossing her arms in front of her chest. She was going to see what kind of lousy idea they conceived.
Gu Yusheng frowned, whispering, “Idiots. Xuan’er, we’d better find a chance to leave here early.”
“I know. But we are involved now, so we may as well face it and see what on earth they want.” Xie Mengxuan replied.
Geng Zhishan stood in front of them and said, “What are you doing? Don’t you know that you are creating a loud noise near my home?”
His eyes were cold, but his tone sounded the same as it used to be.
Aunt Cui stepped forward and shouted, “Mr. Geng, have you not heard what the sorceress just said?”
“Yes, but God should be benevolent to his worshippers in the world. How can he warn us in this way? He should solve the problem with his own power.” Geng Zhishan said unpleasantly.
Xie Mengxuan and Gu Yusheng both gazed at him. They wondered how he could give such a remark.
Aunt Cui took a deep breath and made a ritualistic act of worship. “The sorceress just mentioned that the Mountain God had magic power for a short time, so it is constrained. We have received the favor of the Mountain God in the past. Thus, it is reasonable for us to offer a sacrifice.”
Geng Zhishan stared at them and said, “Therefore, you are going to sacrifice someone to the Mountain God?
The crowd nodded, and someone directly mentioned what kind of person should be chosen.
Xie Mengxuan stood next to Geng Zhishan and said loudly, “Wait a minute, can I say something?”
As soon as she was going to open her mouth, Zhao Long immediately grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at her. He berated, “You are the bane of our village, and you have no right to say anything.”
Gu Yusheng blew the dirt away with his fan immediately. As a result, it got dirty, so he threw it away with detestment.
The corner of Xie Mengxuan’s lips rose slightly, “But I must say something about it. The sorceress just announced that the immortal power of the Mountain God is not enough, and He needs to find a partner. But it doesn’t make any sense, for the Gods don’t have human emotions. Have they not cut off the seven emotions and six desires?
Therefore, the insufficiency of immortal power was nonsense. If people believed it, that would be ridiculous.”
The sorceress stepped forward, raised her jaw slightly, squinted her eyes, with an orchid-shaped gesture, held the crutches with the other hand, and said slowly, “You have no idea that the Mountain God in our place ascended to the deity realm because of rescuing us, so He retained that part of humanity as a reward.”
Xie Mengxuan slightly tilted her head to one side and smiled, “He ascended to become God alone, but he still asks for an offering from the mortals. Is this really a reward rather than a punishment?”
All the people’s faces changed, thinking that it was blasphemous.
