The power of a witch.
It is enough to transform an "ugly duckling" into a powerful and noble white swan, and it is enough to transform a ragged girl into a beautiful princess.
Tao'er turned around, her snow feathers fluttering, silver flowers all over the ground, and quickly turned around and ran down:
"I'll go down the mountain right now to help you figure out what's going on, God!"
Bei Wang's words were stuck in his throat.
The girl didn't seem to care about the danger of such power, she was just happy that she could help God.
After going down the mountain, Taoer passed by the Hibiscus School and heard the sound of reading. When Mr. Zhu, who had a goatee, saw Taoer outside the window, he was shocked for a moment, then he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and picked up the ruler:
"Tao'er! Come here! Why are you dressed like this? Did the evil god on the mountain do something to you?"
"Teacher! I'm busy!" Tao'er ran away quickly. The frost and snow under her feet were very light, and she slid out easily. She heard the noise of children coming from the school:
"Tao'er is so beautiful!"
"Hush! My mother said that a god who cannot protect the townspeople is not a god, but a monster! Monsters want to eat people. Tao'er took his clothes and will be eaten by him soon!"
"No, Tao'er is still very good... Oh, right! Let's ask the little lucky star family at the entrance of the town to exorcise the evil spirit for her!"
...little lucky star.
Tao'er had sharp ears and quickly heard the word. During this period, a little girl who was originally regarded as a "burden" in the town suddenly became lucky. The hens she touched laid many eggs, the pregnant women she helped with difficult labor gave birth to twins, and she even picked up a wounded major general in a big city. His wounds were fatal, but she applied some herbal medicine and he was lucky enough to recover.
From then on, no one in the town disliked her.
"The danger that God talked about...could it be referring to her?" Tao'er thought for a moment and ran towards the town entrance.
Along the way, she passed many people, including Aunt Shen who sold vegetables, Aunt Zhao who sold fish, and Mr. Li who worked as a blacksmith... When they saw her, they all pointed at her in shock.
"Yang's Ah Tao is possessed by evil spirits!"
"Look at her, look at her, what is she wearing? She is walking with flowers, this must be done by the evil god!"
"I've said long ago that we should destroy the evil god on that mountain. Wang Ergou chased a rabbit up there before, but he finally escaped back. That evil god has no power at all!"
"Oh my, is Ah Tao heading towards the town entrance? Stop her quickly. The major general from the city is accompanying Little Lucky Star in a blessing ceremony. Don't ruin the fortune of the whole town!"
The cold wind blew across her cheeks. Tao'er covered her ears and kept shouting:
"I'm not possessed!"
"God is not a bad person! He has never eaten anyone. Wang Ergou fell and was injured, and it was He who sent him back!"
"The Lord God just loves to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. He has never done anything else!"
At the entrance of the town, Taoer saw the grand blessing ceremony at a glance.
Big red lanterns were hung high, and hanging from them were inappropriate red silk, blessing cards, and even tarot cards. Below the platform, the townspeople looked on expectantly, throwing their coins upwards. On the platform stood a major general with a military rank and regular features, and a girl with blonde hair, purple eyes, and a friendly temperament.
"Azi!" Taoer shouted.
In the past, as marginalized people in the town, she and A Zi got along very well, but ever since A Zi became a lucky star and dyed her black hair blonde, they suddenly became strangers to each other.
The blonde girl with purple eyes glanced at her calmly and said to the townspeople:
"...Townfolks, you can stop throwing coins. Next, we will enter the final step of praying for blessings."
She took out a red button and said gently:
"Please, the most respectable one among you, press this button."
"This is the final step of the blessing ceremony. After pressing the button, our entire town will be shrouded in the glow of good fortune. But when you press the button, please accept it wholeheartedly. Don't waver or feel any aversion."
...You need someone who is virtuous and respected, and you need to accept him wholeheartedly... God has told me about this. This is a classic way to summon evil gods. Using this method, it is very likely to summon beings with bad intentions... Tao'er rushed forward and tried to pry open the red button:
"Azi! Don't make the same mistake over and over again! You are already a lucky star, you must have made a deal with the bad guys, isn't that enough?"
Ah Zi glanced at her calmly and said, "You look like this, haven't you made a deal with the bad guys?"
"The Lord God is different!" Taoer said without hesitation.
"Really? In my eyes, 'they' are no different." Ah Zi gently pushed her hand away: "... accept it, we are just roles, just for people's entertainment. Only with 'their' guidance can we find the true meaning."
Tao'er didn't understand what Ah Zi said, and said hesitantly: "You...you are no longer the Hui Zi I knew..."
Ah Zi didn't care and snorted coldly: "Get out of here!"
At this time, a voice came from afar:
"A Tao! Come down quickly! Mom will help you with whatever you want. Don't be impulsive! Don't be possessed!" It was a woman with tears streaming down her face. She pushed through the crowd, knelt on the ground, and couldn't stop begging her.
Mother... my adoptive mother... Taoer hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, the major general next to him drew his sword and stabbed it into Tao'er's chest. His sword was so fierce and fast that the girl had no time to react.
Blood flowed out and Taoer fell to the ground.
She heard a dim voice.
"…This girl is possessed by evil spirits. She needs to be buried with black dog blood." The mayor said solemnly.
