The woman was still talking nonstop about the miraculous qualities of the Saint Lady.
There was an old man who was covered in red spots, breathing rapidly and was about to die. After the Saint Lady prayed for him, he recovered without any medicine and regained his life.
There were villagers who were suffering from organ failure and deficiency of Qi and blood. After the blessing of the Saint Goddess, their complexions soon became rosy and they regained consciousness.
There are also some young children who were born with illnesses, and their conditions have improved with the blessing of the Saint Goddess. However, the children have little luck, and many of them cannot bear the great blessing given by the Saint Goddess, and will develop a more serious illness later.
The parents of those children also accepted this, because they were not blessed enough. But if they were blessed enough and could receive the blessing of the Saint Lady, they would have great luck. At the very least, they could be taken away by the Holy Moon Sect and become a little boy in the sect. The luckiest ones could be taken by the Saint Lady herself and trained to become the next candidate for the Saint Lady or Saint Son.
Regardless of the former or the latter, the Holy Moon Cult would give the child's parents a large sum of money, at least fifty taels of silver! The more, it was said, the more than several hundred taels!
Fifty taels of silver was enough to build a brick and tile courtyard in Xingzhou. A few hundred taels of silver would bring one unimaginable wealth.
Thinking of this, the worry on the woman's face was much less. She imagined the silver she might get and said happily, "To put it another way, even if Xiao Yuan is not chosen by the Holy Moon Cult, she is blessed by the Holy Lady, so she is a blessed person. When she reaches the age of marriage, the threshold of her house will be broken down by matchmakers!"
"Is it really that magical?" The driver exclaimed, "Then I have to pay my respects to the Saint Lady and ask her to bless me so that I can find a wife next year."
"Why bother the Saint Lady with such a small matter?" The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you make some money outside in the past two years? If Xiao Yuan is okay, I will help you arrange it when you return to the village."
Wei Yunlan and the others did not listen to the rest of the words.
From the woman and the coachman, they already knew that Xiqi Village was just a few miles ahead.
Wei Yunlan took the initiative to call Qi Xu.
"Guard Xiao, the Wei family does not want to cause any more trouble on the road and get involved in other things. However, since Xiqi Village is not far ahead, if your people want to go over and investigate, they can do so. For the time being, a few guards are enough for the team."
Tianshu Pavilion has already provided a lot of conveniences to the Wei family, so there is no need for Wei Yunlan to be too serious about such things.
As the saying goes, treat me with courtesy, and I will return the favor with courtesy.
"Thank you, Miss Wei." Qi Xu bowed to Wei Yunlan, and then asked Feng Ping and Pei Hu to sneak into Xiqi Village with him.
The three figures quickly rode away on horseback.
The five carriages of the Wei family were still moving forward on this road, escorted by the remaining guards.
After a moment, the sound of music rang in my ears.
The tune was somewhat like the Buddhist scriptures chanted in the temple, but with a more ethereal air. Along with the music, there were also wisps of white smoke. If it weren't for the three words "Xiqi Village" carved on the big stone beside the road, one would almost think that they had come to a temple or a Taoist temple.
"This is quite a big scene." Tingxue sighed in the carriage.
Ning Shuang also looked outside after hearing this, then rubbed her arms and moved closer to Wei Yunlan: "Miss, let's go over here quickly, it looks scary."
Wei Yunlan also saw the billowing white smoke and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Her understanding of cults was still stuck on the "Southern Xinjiang witchcraft" from her previous life, and the methods of promoting sacrifices and prayers should also be considered cult activities.
In her eyes, the current Holy Moon Cult is similar to the Southern Xinjiang witchcraft in her previous life. Anything involving human life is harmful.
"Tell the front to speed up a bit."
The convoy was traveling at almost the fastest speed, and the last carriage at the end of the team would soon pass the path at the entrance of Xiqi Village.
Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a group of villagers suddenly ran out from the village entrance.
There were hundreds of villagers, all holding hoes, axes and other weapons.
Everyone glared at the Wei family's convoy.
"Quick, stop them!"
"They ruined our blessing ceremony, make them pay!"
The villagers were shouting quite loudly.
Inside the carriage, the Wei family members looked at each other in disbelief.
What do you mean they ruined the blessing ceremony?
They were just passing by the village, what did it have to do with them?
"Defend against the enemy."
The villagers who ran to the carriage took the opportunity to test the results of their martial arts practice in the past few days.
The carriage was surrounded. Wei Yunlan held a long sword in his hand and scared away the villagers who wanted to rush onto the carriage with one sword.
On the other side, Suihe kicked away a villager who tried to snatch the reins from her.
At the same time, the guards of Tianshu Pavilion who were following the convoy also took action, fighting one against five or even ten, to block the approaching villagers and men in white robes.
"Stop it!"
A cold female voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Wei Yunlan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fairy-like figure clad in a long white veil, walking towards the village entrance, surrounded by a group of people in white robes.
The identity is easy to guess. At this critical juncture, she is dressed like a goddess descending to earth. Who else could it be except the Holy Lady of the Holy Moon Cult?
If I'm not mistaken, the interruption of prayers and the anger of the villagers were caused by her.
Then why did she come out at this time and shout "Stop"?
Wei Yunlan gripped the sword tightly, leaned against the car, and remained alert.
When the villagers heard the shout of "Stop," they all stopped and looked at the woman in white who was surrounded by the crowd, and respectfully called her, "Saint Lady."
As expected, my guess was correct. This is the Saint of the Holy Moon Cult.
As the saint walked forward, the villagers who had been blocking the carriage made way for her.
When she was still ten steps away from the Wei family, the saint stopped and bowed in the direction of the Wei family with an apologetic look.
"It is really a coincidence that I have delayed your trip. I would like to apologize to you all."
"Holy Lady?" The villagers looked at the Saint in shock, as if they couldn't understand why the Saint, who was so high and mighty, would apologize to the group of people who interrupted their prayers.
The saint bowed, then stood up and explained to the villagers: "Everything is due to fate. Although our prayers were interrupted, we cannot blame others. Moreover, this gentleman is a man of great merit. Although we don't know why his fate is dim now, it is a blessing for us to meet such a man of merit today. You must not be rude again."
Hearing this, the villagers no longer looked at the Wei family with the same hostility as before.
Tingxue leaned close to Wei Yunlan's ear and whispered, "Miss, why do I feel like this Saint Lady... is trying to curry favor with our family?"
"You're right." Wei Yunlan looked at the saint surrounded by the crowd.
Just watch her put on a show.
