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.
Cui Zhuang said impatiently, “Stop listening to her. Doesn’t the Mountain God need someone? There are so many people in our village, but I think God does not like us, so it is better to take her as a sacrifice. This is the value of her existence!”
He then got close to her and rolled up his sleeves. Zhao Long and Zhao Wu also came forward together, as if they were ready to directly “rob” her.
Now, Geng Zhishan and Gu Yusheng both stood in front of Xie Mengxuan to protect her.
Gu Yusheng looked around, ‘How unreasonable they are! What does this even mean?’
He stared at Aunt Cui and tried to discern her thoughts from her face, but she stared directly at Xie Mengxuan, her eyes revealed a triumphant pride.
Gu Yusheng was angry at this woman. She was obviously the leader, and these people were being led by her, but how could he stop them?.
Geng Zhishan and Gu Yusheng were nervous while Xie Mengxuan appeared relaxed. She said with a smile, “Is it too casual for you by offering some sacrifice to the Mountain God? It seems that your so-called respect for him can go only so far.”
The sorceress stepped forward and said with a dull tone, “No, it isn’t. The man who is offered to the God should first be scented with incense and get a bath; then, the time he was born should be calculated clearly, and finally, the Mountain God shall choose whether He accepts or not. Only in this way can we make a decision.”
“But now it’s urgent to settle the heavy rain, so God will not blame us.” Aunt Cui at the sorceress’ side added.
Hearing that, Xie Mengxuan pushed the two and squeezed herself out. She clapped her hands and said, “Oh, you really made a mistake there. If the birth time of that man is inconsistent with the God, he will be hurt or killed because of the sacrifice. In that case, who will protect and bless the Zhoujia village?”
What she said seemed to be true, and everyone present also seemed to believe her at that moment. Geng Zhishan was proud of her, but Gu Yusheng’s eyes were a bit blank. It was too unbelievable for him to see that Xie Mengxuan was good at sophistry.
The sorceress was also shocked. She didn’t come to herself until Aunt Cui touched her. She nodded, “All right. What you said sounds reasonable. The matter you mentioned should have been avoided. I am sorry for the lack of consideration. If we sacrifice someone without the permission of God, he will indeed be angrier.”
Aunt Cui didn’t expect that the sorceress would react like this. She was so stunned that she could only blink and say, “Dear sorceress, it has been raining heavily for three days. We can’t delay any more.”
“It won’t take me much time to figure that out, just an hour. Wait for me here.”
The sorceress then went home. Everyone knew what she was going to do, but when she left, these villagers didn’t know what to do and just looked at each other.
Aunt Cui stared at Xie Mengxuan with a gloomy smile and said, “Girl, now that we have met today, there are some things that I want to make clear with you.”
“Just say what you have.” Xie Mengxuan nodded slightly, still courteous.
“Girl, we are not against you in particular, but so many ominous things happened in our village since you came here. Even my house was burned. I know it’s not you who set the fire, but it has something to do with you. Don’t you think so?”
Aunt Cui took a deep breath and went ahead, “You can’t live in our village regardless of the person who will be selected. Do you agree with me?”
“It’s hilarious for you to regard me as the source of these things. You have wronged me, but I won’t agree to leave the village.” Although Aunt Cui looked indifferent, she pretended to be rational, so Xie Mengxuan also responded in the same way.
Aunt Cui nodded and nudged Cui Zhuang lightly. They stood in the rain to wait for the news of God.
Two hours later, the sorceress in wet clothes came on crutch again. She went to the crowd and pointed to the direction of Geng Zhishan and Xie Mengxuan.
“The Mountain God said what He needs is a man.”
