Chapter 697: The Saint and the Great Witch
"Good! Good!" Yue Lao Taijun patted Wangyou's shoulder, very excited. This was also her biggest extravagant wish. She hoped that the Yue family would be able to walk on the street with dignity one day!
Yue Lao Taijun thought of something and became a little dejected. "The Yue family has fallen to such a state that I can't help you. Now, the entire Wu clan is under the control of Wu Jie. It is too difficult to restore the truth of the past."
"Grandma, I want to see the Saint and reveal Wu Jie's true identity to her." Wangyou said.
"The Saint is very close to Wu Jie. Will she believe you? This is too risky." Yue Lao Taijun couldn't help but say.
"Grandmother, this is the only way. And we must act without delay. Once Wu Jie knows I'm still alive, it will be extremely difficult for me to see the Saint."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Yue Lao Taijun closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
There is a tacit understanding between the saint and the great witch who serves her. If it weren't for the incident that happened that year, Ali would be the saint's great witch, and maybe the saint would really believe Ali.
She didn't want Ali to take risks, but there was really no other way...
After a moment of contemplation, Yue Lao Taijun said, "The Saint stays in the temple all year round, and Wu Jie is always by her side. It's impossible for you to enter the temple. There will be a sacrifice the day after tomorrow..." Yue Lao Taijun looked at Wangyou, "I can find a way to let you see the Saint."
"Okay, in two days." Wangyou said.
I hope that the news of his survival can be kept secret for two days, so that Wu Jie will be caught off guard and he can meet the Saint smoothly.
"A Li..." Lady Yue looked at Wang You with a worried look on her face.
Wangyou smiled faintly: "Don't worry, grandma, God will protect me."
The matchmaker responded softly, this was their last chance.
If God doesn't bless us anymore, it will be all over.
"Come on, grandma will take you to worship your parents." Yue Lao Taijun said, holding Wangyou's hand.
He looked at Tangli again and said, "Dear guests, please go to the guest rooms and rest."
Tangli, Sanbao and Du Ye were taken to the guest rooms to stay.
night.
Sanbao and Tangli slept together, close to each other.
Sanbao turned over and hugged Tangli.
"Mom, are you asleep?" she asked in a low voice.
Tangli touched her little head and asked softly, "Can't sleep?"
"Mom, I seem to hear crying. Is it Wangyou's aunt crying?" Sanbao asked.
Tangli listened carefully and heard it too: "Yeah."
"She's so pitiful." Sanbao said, telling Tangli what Wangyou whispered to her.
A poor man indeed.
They love each other but cannot be together, and are torn apart...
If she were in his shoes, and someone didn't allow her to be with her husband and took her child away, she would really fight with that person.
Wangyou's aunt was even more miserable. The people who obstructed her were her closest relatives, and in the end she could only drive herself crazy.
Speaking of the separation of parents and children, Tangli couldn't help but think of Ahua and Amu.
I wonder what happened to the two of them. Did they reach Yuecheng and find their parents?
Wangyou’s matter is more urgent. Let’s go look for Ahua and Amu after Wangyou’s matter is resolved.
"Mom, I'm worried about the sacrifice the day after tomorrow. Wangyou is going to see the saint. If the saint doesn't believe in Wangyou, will Wangyou be in danger?" Sanbao said in a low voice.
Wangyou's move was indeed a desperate gamble. If he failed to convince the saint and was caught by Wu Jie, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Don't worry, we are here." Tang Li said.
When Tang Li said this, he was actually unsure.
This is the Moon City of the Wu Clan. Wu Jie has absolute power over everything. Even if she has extraordinary abilities, she cannot fight against Wu Jie.
I can only hope that her good luck will make everything go smoothly, and that Wangyou can convince the Saint Girl so that they can work together to deal with Wu Jie...
After listening to Tangli's words, Sanbao felt much more at ease. He found a comfortable position in her mother's arms and fell asleep.
…
The next day, night.
The majestic temple towers into the clouds, shining golden in the sunlight.
This temple is a holy place in the hearts of the Wu people. Countless people have traveled from afar just to take a look at the temple.
No one can enter the temple without the order of the Saint and the Great Witch.
Therefore, most people will never be able to set foot in this sacred place in their entire lives.
Inside the temple, golden pillars support the huge dome, and various legends about gods are carved on the pillars, walls and dome.
Somewhere in the temple, a thin girl in gorgeous clothes and with a pale face was sitting on the steps, reading a book, almost drowsy.
Hearing the footsteps, the girl looked in one direction with surprise.
A tall figure in a black robe walked towards her, wearing a mask that only revealed his unfathomable eyes.
"Great Witch!" The girl ran over in surprise.
Wu Jie knelt respectfully and saluted, saying, "Saint Lady."
"Great wizard, get up quickly! The temple is so boring. Can you take me to the street to play?" the girl said expectantly.
"Saintess, the sacrifice will be held the day after tomorrow, you can't run around." Wu Jie's voice was cold.
The girl's expression became lost: "Okay..."
"Saintess, it's time for you to go to the Holy Pool." Wu Jie said.
The girl's expression suddenly turned reluctant: "Great Witch, can I go later?"
Wu Jie looked at her with a look that brooked no room for argument.
The saint was actually quite afraid of the great witch. When the great witch got angry, he would ignore her and lock her up in a dark place.
Therefore, she was most afraid that he would get angry, so she quickly gave in and said, "Then go ahead."
Wu Jie stretched out his hand toward the girl, and the saint was immediately delighted and took his hand.
Wu Jie took the Saint's hand and walked in one direction: "Before the sacrifice, you must bathe in the holy pool to cleanse the impurities on your body, otherwise you will offend the gods."
"Great Witch, I know, but the water from the holy pool hurts me so much." The saint muttered.
As soon as she stepped into the holy pool, she felt a powerful force repelling her, as if trying to drive her out of the holy pool.
The saint expressed her thoughts.
Wu Jie suddenly tightened his grip on the girl's hand, his deep gaze fixed on her. "The Saint's power originates from the Holy Pond. How could the Holy Pond reject the Saint? Please stop your nonsense. I don't want to hear these words a second time."
Wu Jie's gaze was oppressive, and the Saint Maiden hesitantly said, "Yes."
Wu Jie led the saint through several doors and came to the holy pool.
The holy pool is not big, just enough for one person to soak in it, and it is filled with mist.
"The Saint is bathing here, I'll be guarding outside." Wu Jie said.
"Great Witch, how long will this bath last?"
Wu Jie glanced at the girl and said, "One hour."
The Saint's expression changed slightly, and she said reluctantly, "It's even longer than last time..."
"Saintess, the holy pool will give you strength. If you bathe for too short a time, you won't even have the strength to pick up the sacred staff. How can you offer sacrifices?" Wu Jie said coldly.
The Saint could only nod: "I understand."
Wu Jie patted her head and said in a softer voice, "After this sacrifice, I'll take you out to play."
The Saint suddenly became happy: "Okay."
Wu Jie left the room and closed the door.
The saint took off her clothes and immersed herself in the holy pool.
A surge of power surged into her body, but her body seemed unable to withstand such a domineering force. She felt very uncomfortable, as if her body was about to explode...
Just bear with it, and the great witch will take her to play outside the temple.
