Chapter 208 The Goddess's Attendant
Everyone's attention was on Zhao Antai's hand, and no one noticed Su Xiaoxiao's actions.
She followed the sound and walked straight to the depths of the ancestral hall.
Inside was a portrait of the Zhao family's ancestor. Because of the long time, the portrait was not very clear, but it was vaguely seen that it was a kind old man.
Su Xiaoxiao held the milk jug and asked with her head tilted: "Are you looking for me?"
The person in the portrait suddenly had a voice and a smile: "You are Xiaoxiao, like, really like! Finally I waited for you."
"Do we know each other?" Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed. "How could a person like you know me? The Zhao family has been waiting for the goddess to come these years. I didn't expect you to come in this way. How lucky the Zhao family is."
Su Xiaoxiao became interested and asked curiously: "Where is the goddess? Is she pretty?"
The old man was amused by him again: "Well, it's best if you look carefree like this! That's the goddess's stuff!"
The old man pointed to an exquisite wooden box in the ancestral hall and said.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the box, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart. She walked over involuntarily, tiptoed, and touched the box.
There was a sharp pain in her hand. It turned out that a small wooden thorn had pierced her hand. A drop of blood with golden light dripped down.
The moment it landed, the whole ancestral hall was shrouded in golden light.
Souls flew out of the tablets in the ancestral hall and knelt down in front of Su Xiaoxiao together with the old man in the portrait: "Thank you for the blessing of the goddess. The Zhao family will do their best to protect the goddess from generation to generation."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at them in confusion, not realizing that her small drop of blood purified all the souls in the ancestral hall and they all became immortals.
From then on, the Zhao family and Su Xiaoxiao signed a contract, and these Zhao clan members who ascended to heaven would all be Xiaoxiao's servants.
The old man looked at Su Xiaoxiao devoutly and said, "Since you are here, my mission is over. I'll trouble you to take care of the Zhao clan in the future. We will always be your loyal servants!"
After the old man finished speaking, his soul ascended to heaven. Su Xiaoxiao touched the box again, and felt an endless stream of heat entering her body, making her feel as if flowers were blooming in her heart.
Su Xiaoxiao shouted at the old man who was about to become nothingness: "What's in this box? Why do I feel so familiar!"
The old man's voice was ethereal: "This is the token of the goddess. In addition to the Zhao family, there are several other big families praying for the goddess and waiting for her return. These energies are the sincerity of several big families in worshipping the goddess for thousands of years."
Su Xiaoxiao still didn't quite understand. She was confused, but her body instinctively absorbed the energy and fed it back to these worshippers and their descendants.
In an instant, a huge blessing power flew from Su Xiaoxiao's body to all directions.
Zhao Antai and others outside the ancestral hall suddenly heard a voice from the sky saying, "The contract has been made. The Zhao family will be the goddess's servants from generation to generation. We will serve the goddess sincerely and enjoy her protection. You must protect Xiaoxiao."
Everyone was stunned, only Zhao Hongjing said in astonishment, "Father, father, it's the ancestor!"
The face in the sky was the portrait of the ancestor in the ancestral hall. When he was young, he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall every day. He even counted how many whiskers the ancestor had, so he would not make a mistake.
How could Zhao Antai not recognize his own ancestor? He led the clansmen to kneel down and said, "Grandfather, we will obey your instructions!"
The ancestor looked at Zhao Wanyue and said lovingly, "Take good care of Xiaoxiao. The good fortune of our Zhao family is coming!" Then he disappeared.
The Zhao family members kneeling on the ground, including Li Yunshu, felt that they were wrapped in a strange power. They could even see the brilliance of each other.
Zhao Wanyue then realized that Su Xiaoxiao was gone.
"Xiaoxiao, where is Xiaoxiao?" She asked in horror.
"Isn't my sister there?" Zhao Liwu said, pointing at Su Xiaoxiao who was walking slowly out of the ancestral hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by golden light, which made people feel holy and at ease. Everyone knelt down involuntarily.
Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the ancestral hall. The sunlight fell on her. The golden light gradually disappeared. She looked at her family members kneeling on the ground and asked: "Are you also kneeling to the goddess? What happened to the goddess? I touched the box she left behind and I just felt so sad."
Su Xiaoxiao shed tears while talking. She didn't know why, but she felt so sad.
Zhao Wanyue quickly hugged her and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what happened?"
Su Xiaoxiao sobbed and said, "There is an old man inside who told me about the goddess. But when I asked again, he left with other souls. He said he wanted to become an immortal."
Zhao Antai said, "I heard from the elders in the tribe that a long time ago, the human and demon worlds were in chaos. The demon sect turned the human world into a purgatory. A goddess in heaven ignored the heavenly rules and secretly came down to earth to save the human world.
Because she violated the heavenly rules, she suffered ninety-nine thunder tribulations. The demon sect took advantage of her weakness and The evil cult poisoned her and turned her into a demon. In order to avoid harming the world after she turned into a demon, the goddess destroyed herself and turned into ashes.
In order to express gratitude for her kindness, people have worshipped her from generation to generation, hoping that the goddess can be reborn. Speaking of which, our Zhao family is also a worshiper of the goddess! "
Zhao Hongye asked: "But I have never seen a tablet for the goddess?"
Zhao Antai said: "The goddess has no tablet. It is said that people collected the items left behind when she died and worshiped them sincerely. The old wooden box in our ancestral hall contains the relics of the goddess."
[No wonder I felt so sad when I touched the box. It turned out to be the goddess's emotions. She must have been very painful when she was disillusioned. Even so, she made all the souls in the ancestral hall become immortals today, and also spread blessings to everyone who worshipped her. The goddess is really kind.
But, the old man told me that he finally saw the goddess, why can't I see anything. ]
Su Xiaoxiao thought puzzledly.
Zhao Liming was surprised. Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, so how could he hear what she said?
Zhao Liwu didn't think about it, and said: "Strange, how can I hear Xiaoxiao's thoughts."
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was far away and was concentrating on thinking about the goddess, so she didn't hear it.
Zhao Hongjing covered Zhao Liwu's mouth and said to Zhao Wanyue, "Sister, I think Xiaoxiao is a little tired, take her to rest."
Zhao Wanyue quickly hugged Su Xiaoxiao and went out.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao walking away, Zhao Hongjing let go of Zhao Liwu.
Zhao Liwu said seriously, "Dad, I really heard Xiaoxiao's voice just now."
Zhao Liwen and Zhao Lide also nodded, and everyone looked at Zhao Liming, who did not comment.
Li Yunshu saw that several children could hear it, and said, "I heard it just now, too."
Zhao Hongjing looked at Zhao Hongye and asked, "Brother, you are always smart. Can you explain why they couldn't hear Xiaoxiao's voice before, but can hear it now?"
