The villagers stopped clamoring for the Wei family to compensate them for the interruption of their prayer ceremony, and the road at the entrance of the village became quiet for a while.
Surrounded by the crowd in the center, like the moon surrounded by stars, the saint Su Xin suddenly closed her eyes, put her thumbs and middle fingers together, forming a special gesture, and muttered something.
"What is she doing?" Someone in the Wei family's team looked puzzled.
Immediately, the villagers' reactions gave them the answer.
"The Saint Lady is listening to God's will."
"Hurry, pray now. I heard that praying at this time is most effective!"
But in a short moment, a group of people knelt down at the entrance of the village, and the villagers looked at the saint with fanaticism and piety.
For a moment, the only people still standing at the intersection were the Wei family and the guards of Tianshu Pavilion.
At this time, the saint opened her eyes and looked straight at Wei Maolin with clear eyes.
"Sir, Su Xin listened to the guidance of heaven and calculated that you will have a disaster in your life. This disaster will not only endanger your life, but also bring disaster to your family, but it is not impossible to resolve."
Su Xin placed her thumb and index finger on her chest, with the other three fingers standing upright. Her speaking posture was somewhat similar to that of Guanyin.
Coupled with her holy and elegant attire, and her noble and otherworldly look, she really does look a bit like a fairy.
Wei Maolin, who had seen Master Gao tell fortunes with his own eyes, felt that this kind of fairy-like aura was somewhat artificial.
Although I didn't believe it at all, I still pretended to be worried. "What should I do?"
"The Saint Lady said that it is not unsolvable, which means there is still a chance to resolve it. You outsiders, why don't you quickly beg the Saint Lady for help."
"Maybe the Saint Lady will give you some blessings, and this disaster will be resolved."
The villagers looked at the Wei family as if they were fools. Their eyes clearly said, "The Holy Lady is here and you don't even know how to worship her. How come you still ask what to do?"
"Don't be rude." The Saint stopped the villagers again, and looked at the Wei family with respect. "Su Xin calculated that this gentleman is a man of merit who has contributed to the country and the people, but now he has been harmed by a villain and is in great trouble."
"Being together is destiny. Perhaps the prayer ceremony was interrupted today just to wait for the adults to arrive."
The Saint said, making a gesture of invitation to the Wei family, "Su Xin wants to perform another ritual. You and your party may as well go into the village and participate in this blessing ritual with the villagers. Good fortune and bad luck offset each other, and as long as there is enough good fortune, bad luck will naturally be avoided."
Su Xin acted as if she really admired Wei Maolin's character and couldn't bear to see him in such a disaster, so she held the blessing ceremony again to pray for blessings for them and avoid disaster.
After hearing these words, even the villagers couldn't help but be moved. This is their compassionate and kind-hearted Saint Lady!
If we didn't know in advance that the Holy Moon Cult was also involved in selling poisons and training intelligence spies, we might have believed it just by looking at the current performance.
It’s a pity that the Wei family already knew what the Holy Moon Cult was.
No matter how good the Saint Lady in front of him is at pretending, she cannot hide the fact that she and the Holy Moon Sect are birds of a feather.
Wei Maolin and Wei Yunlan's eyes met in the air. After exchanging glances, Wei Maolin said, "I'm sorry, we are in a hurry and can't delay here. I have to let you down."
The expression on the saint's face froze slightly, as if she had not expected that, after things had come to this point, the Wei family would not follow the usual path.
It's rare that they aren't curious about how she calculated all this?
Don’t you long to get rid of the disaster as soon as possible and return to the bustling and prosperous capital?
The play has been rehearsed, but some people just don't follow the script.
"You guys are so shameless." A villager pointed at the Wei family and cursed, "The Saint Lady not only didn't blame you for interrupting the prayer, but also allowed you to receive the blessing together. How dare you complain about wasting time?"
"Saint Lady, such a person is not worthy of your blessing."
"Saint Lady, don't worry about these people. What merits are there? Can any merit be greater than yours, Saint Lady?"
The Saint raised her hand to stop the villagers from talking, then smiled apologetically at the Wei family, "Since you are all in a hurry to leave, Su Xin will not stay any longer. Today's blessing ceremony is over. If we have the chance in the future, Su Xin will pray for you and your party to change their fate."
When the villagers heard this, they all reacted.
The Holy Lady had only agreed to hold a blessing ceremony for their village. Now the ceremony had been forced to be interrupted due to outside interference, and there was no possibility of repeating it.
Just like what the Saint Lady said, everything is determined by fate. We will have to hold another blessing ceremony, unless the group of people in the carriage also stay to participate.
The Saint Lady will have to pray for them before they can have a second chance.
Although they were unwilling to accept that this group of passers-by were favored by the Saint Lady, it was better than nothing. It was not easy for their village to invite the Saint Lady to come here in person.
After realizing this, the villagers raised their shovels and hoes and shouted, "You can't leave!"
"Stay until the blessing ceremony is over before you leave, or you will have to pay our village five hundred taels of silver as compensation for interrupting the blessing ceremony!"
The Holy Moon Cult is really good at stirring people's hearts.
These villagers became complete tools used by the saint. She wanted to keep them, so she guided the villagers to do all this for her.
Unfortunately, the Wei family remained unmoved from beginning to end.
Wei Yunlan firmly believed that the best way to break the impasse was not to get involved at all.
No matter how many tricks the Holy Moon Cult and the Holy Lady have waiting to be used in the blessing ceremony, as long as they don't take the bait and don't participate, no matter how many tricks they have, they will be useless!
Calculating the time, Wei Yunlan felt that it was almost time to leave.
"Uncle Liu, go back and drive the carriage. As soon as the people from Tianshu Pavilion make a move, we will be ready to attack directly."
Liu Quan, Suihe and others who were in charge of driving the carriage returned to the carriage, and the rest of the people gradually moved closer to the carriage.
Wei Yunlan's gaze passed over the surrounding villagers and landed at the entrance of the village with the people from the Holy Moon Sect.
Guard Xiao and his men had been inside for some time.
It should be about time now, right?
Just as I was thinking about this, I saw white mist rising above the village, and then a touch of red glow appeared in the sky.
"What is that?" Wei Yunlan asked.
The villagers surrounding the carriage followed her gaze and all stared with wide eyes in shock.
"miracle!"
"That was a miracle of blessing from heaven after the blessing ceremony was successful!"
"Hasn't the blessing ceremony been interrupted? How can a miracle still appear?"
Listening to the continuous screams and looking at the panicked Saint not far away, Wei Yunlan curled the corners of his lips into a sneer.
Of course it’s because this so-called miracle is nothing but a trick!
