Chapter Seventeen: Moon Goddess
No soldier dared to kill her again, and all the weapons were thrown to the ground.
Apart from the sound of the sword falling to the ground, everything seemed to have frozen. Everyone knelt down, and the old man in black robes no longer mentioned escaping; he knelt on the ground, constantly praising. The only three people who didn't kneel were Luosi herself, Tang Xiaoxia who had been protecting her all along, and Wu Xiang.
That guy who was as fierce as a demon just now has turned into an ice sculpture, the ice sculpture is crystal clear and transparent, his posture still remains in the gesture of slashing towards others, he is completely frozen, his expression is vivid, but Losie can truly feel that he is already dead.
Suddenly, all the villagers were overjoyed and cheered endlessly to the moon god in their hearts, while the soldiers brought by Wu Xi knelt on the ground in terror, trembling with fear.
"Take him back to your master and tell him not to bother me again! Otherwise, this will be his end!" Rosethorn's voice was icily cold, so cold that she herself didn't dare believe it.
She watched as the soldiers, like escaped prisoners, carried the large ice sculpture into the woods, looking so flustered and panicked. The few soldiers carrying the ice sculpture fell behind because of its weight, and several times they almost dropped it to the ground due to trembling, whether from fear or the coldness of the ice sculpture.
No one dared to try and shatter the fragile ice sculptures or throw them to the ground, they gradually disappeared into the dark night of the dense forest, as if they had never appeared at all.
Tang Xiaoxia suddenly sat down on the ground, his Lingyun sword and scabbard were thrown to one side without strength. Luosiqi felt that he was very tired, as if he had exhausted all his energy.
Lucy knew that the boy in front of her had just decided to face a crisis alone, and thinking about it, her heart melted, no longer hard as ice because of anger.
The silvery light faded away, Luosi walked to Tang Xiaoxia's side and sat down, slightly turning her body, using her right hand to gently hold his shoulder, looking at him tenderly.
The night has become so quiet.
The master of the Moon God Sect arrived soon, and Luo Siqi and Tang Xiaoxia rested in the wooden house of the black-robed old man for a night. When it was just dawn, Luo Siqi heard the noise of horse teams outside.
Luosiqi cautiously went out of the door to another room to find Tang Xiaxia, and found that he had also heard the sound come out.
Two people opened the door to find that the black-robed old man was saying something to a woman wearing a black round hat, her face hidden behind a black veil. Roselle couldn't see her face, but the moon on her black robe was golden and seemed to be embroidered with gold thread, making her look noble and different from others.
Lucy saw a natural air of command in her, that the old man who was so respected in the village seemed to her like a very lowly servant.
Last night when I stayed at the old man in black's house, he introduced himself as Quan Zhong. He let out both rooms of his house to the moon goddess in his heart and her friends. Looking at him now, it seems like he is telling that woman about what happened last night.
Behind the woman followed a dozen or so girls dressed in the same attire as her, their ages younger than the Lord's. The moons on their black robes were blue, and they seemed to be the handmaidens of the Moon Goddess Sect's Lord. When the Moon Goddess Sect's Lord saw Losie come out, he stepped forward a few steps, cupped his hands together in greeting, and said: "Moon Goddess Sect's Lord Han Yue pays respects to the Goddess, Han Yue arrived late to rescue you, I hope the Goddess will forgive me!"
The black-robed women behind the cold moon all knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "Subordinates pay their respects to the goddess!"
Luosi didn't expect the leader of the Moon God Sect to arrive with such a grand procession! She had also heard from Quan Zhong last night about the general situation of the Moon God Sect. The Moon God Sect was founded by the sect leader, Han Yue, who had unfathomable martial arts skills and was decisive in his actions. Under the name of worshiping the moon god, he established the Moon God Sect. The sect's main altar is located on Lin Yue Peak, less than 200 miles away from here. The entire sect, from the sect leader down to a grand priest, thirty moon maidens, dozens of small priests, and thousands of ordinary followers. The grand priest is called Chen Xing, a mysterious man with extraordinary talent, who Quan Zhong has not met before, but it's said that he is well-versed in many strange abilities and his power is not below Han Yue's.
Luosi Qi looked at the girls in black robes with blue moons embroidered on them, knowing that they were the so-called Moon Maidens. As for Quan Zhong, he was just a minor priest among the local followers, with a very low rank, and any sacrificial activities would be directly notified by the messenger sent by the High Priest.
Facing the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, Luosi Qi really didn't know what to say. Last night, she had heard from Quan Zhong that the ritual they held was a sacrifice to the moon god. Every month on the night of the full moon, the people of the Moon God Sect would hold a sacrifice. The sacrifice at Lin Yue Peak was presided over by the Grand Priestess Chen Xing, while the sacrifices in other places were presided over by small priestesses elected by the local followers. The leader of the Cold Moon Sect had told her followers that as long as they were sincere in their hearts, the moon god would send a goddess to descend upon them.
Luosi really didn't know how she became a goddess, the doctrine of the Moon God Cult said that the Moon God would sometimes possess the body of a goddess to show her spirit, and the goddess was naturally a woman chosen by the Moon God. Her status was even higher than that of the cult leader, but Luosi wasn't really interested in this position as a goddess. At this time, she only cared about whether she and Tang Xiaohai could get to a safe place, and then think of a way to return to modern times.
At this time, Luosiqi nodded nervously at Han Yue, not knowing what to say.
She heard Han Yue's sincere tone say to her: "The Grand Priest has informed the small priests of all regions to gather at Lin Yue Peak, please God Girl and I will return to Lin Yue Peak together to accept their audience, read the moon god's decree, and bless every believer!"
Luosi was not very willing to go to Lin Yuefeng, she was shocked by the ability she suddenly had last night. Later, when she was alone, she tried to freeze the basin of water she used to wash her face into ice after washing her face, but she found that she couldn't do it no matter how hard she gestured or thought about it. The basin of water remained unchanged, and even when she tried to conjure up water in her palm, she failed. She didn't know why her ability had disappeared again, just like she didn't know where it came from.
She looked at Tang Xiaoxia and found that he nodded to her, so she said to Han Yue: "Okay!" Even if she didn't know why Tang Xiaoxia asked her to agree, she was willing to believe him now.
Han Yue saw her nod and gestured for Luo Siqi to walk ahead, with Tang Xiaoxia following behind Luo Siqi. When Han Yue asked Luo Siqi about his identity, Luo Siqi wanted to say he was her senior brother, but for some reason, she said: "He is my guardian!"
Han Yue let out a soft "oh" and fell silent, she carefully examined Tang Xiaoxia again. Because of the black veil, Luo Sicong didn't see her expression after she finished looking.
On the way to Lin Yuefeng, Luosiqi no longer rode a horse with Tang Xiaoxia behind her. Han Yue somehow got a carriage and asked Luosiqi to sit in it with Tang Xiaoxia, but Han Yue said: "How can a goddess sit in the same car as another man? It's not even suitable for a guardian!"
”
Tang Xiaxia had no choice but to ride a horse and follow behind the carriage. Han Yue also rode a horse, but she was in front of the carriage. The group followed Han Yue's lead and headed straight for Lin Yue Peak.
