So, Feng Xi and I returned to the tea shop. At this time, the tea shop was already empty. There was no tea lady making tea inside, and no tea customers coming here to drink tea.
I looked at Feng Xi,
"Feng Xi, why don't we go back to the Marquis Mansion first! I'm so worried about the safety of my father and mother. I'm afraid something will happen to them! Just go back and take a look. If they are okay, we can leave as well!"
Feng Xi also looked at me,
"Yes! I also grew up in the Hou Mansion, and I also want to go back. But we can't stay in the Hou Mansion for long, so it's okay to go back and take a look."
"Then let's go back to the Hou Mansion now? I feel relieved to see that my father and mother are fine."
After resting for a while, Feng Xi took the things and we walked all the way back in the direction of Jizhou. Since this tea shop is not far from Jizhou, Fengxi and I didn’t walk long.
It took about two hours to arrive at Jizhou City. After we arrived at Jizhou City, I walked straight into the Hou Mansion. Because the main door was closed, Fengxi and I took the back door.
After entering the door, I went straight to the study to see if my father was there. Fortunately, my father was still the same as before. Now I felt relieved, and the damn King Zhou was not here because of my departure.
I vented my anger on him. So I went around to my mother's room again and stood on the window and looked carefully. I looked to see if my mother was in her bedroom, but I couldn't see her shadow no matter how I looked. When I wanted to turn around
When we left, we saw my mother standing in front of me and Feng Xi. I was so frightened that I shivered, while my mother looked at me sternly.
"Who asked you to come back? Now King Zhou is posting notices all over the city to catch you? He also sent Fei Zhong and You Hun to search for you door to door. It was hard to escape from Jizhou, why are you so disobedient? Isn't that right?
I really want to be caught. If you are really caught, then King Zhou will find out that your appearance is not as rumored. Then he will be charged with deceiving the king, and our house will be full of dead souls.
Already."
"It's all my fault. I don't think too much about it. I just miss my mother and father so much that I want to come back and take a look before leaving. Mother, please don't be angry. The child will leave immediately."
"How can my mother be willing to let you go? Do you know that your mother and father are very old, and you are the only daughter next to her. If it wasn't forced by the situation, how could my mother have the heart to watch you leave? Leave now and leave quickly.
, By the way, there are still shell coins, wait until mother goes to get some for you."
I quickly stopped my mother,
"There's no need to go, mother, the baby is still there."
"Daji, Kao'er came to see you after you left. He said that if we saw you, he would tell you to go to Xiqi District to find him. His place is far away from Chaoge. King Zhou will not find you going there.
.Then go to Xiqi! Leave now and go to Xiqi quickly."
Just like that, my mother pushed me towards the door, then turned around and wiped away my tears. I knelt on the ground,
"The child thanks his mother and father for his kindness in raising him. If the child can return to Jizhou in the future, he will definitely fulfill his filial piety in front of his two elders and accompany them."
After saying that, I stood up without looking back, and walked straight out of the back door with tears in my eyes. I only heard my mother crying behind me, and Feng Xi followed closely behind.
Not long after we walked out of the back door, it was already dark outside. Behind us we saw a group of people holding torches shouting,
"Don't you two run away?"
By the light of the fire, I turned around and forgot about what was going on. It was not the pursuers, but a few burly men, and the leader turned out to be a woman in her forties, running toward us menacingly. Looking at this posture, they didn't even think about it.
As if he was a good person, I grabbed Feng Xi and ran forward faster. But after a few runs, I was surrounded by those burly men.
I saw the woman walking up and looking at us,
"I didn't expect that Su Daji, the most beautiful woman in Jizhou, would finally fall into my hands. You made me wait easily? We waited in front of the Hou Mansion for three days before we caught you."
I saw the woman stepping forward and lifting my veil. The woman looked at me blankly.
"This...,, aren't you Su Daji?"
I heard a burly man next to me look at the woman and say,
"Witch Mother, look at the maid next to her. She looks like a water spirit. Could it be that the Marquis exchanged Su Daji and the maid in order to deceive others, so that he could save her life in times of crisis?"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
I didn't take action, after all, I still didn't know what their intentions were.
Just listen to the witch mother say,
"Catch that delicate-looking one for me. We'll talk about it later when we get back. I think you can also get a lot of copper shells and shell coins for me." I saw those burly men also nodded one after another, and then stepped forward to grab him.
Feng Xi was tied up and carried on my shoulders. At this time, I watched them walking past me, as if nothing happened to me. I was still thinking, should I save Feng Xi?
Nuwa said that she would be an obstacle for me in the future! I couldn’t be merciful anymore and let them take her away! This way my conscience would feel better, at least I didn’t kill her with my own hands.
I heard the woman shout again,
"Take that maid with you. Go back and let her do laundry, cooking, chopping firewood and so on."
In this way, they tied ropes around my body. The different treatment was that Fengxi was carried by others, while I walked alone. Do I want to resist? Even being a servant is better than being homeless.
It's strong! Besides, I have a place to live. Forget it, I'll just let them go. With my level of cultivation, it's impossible for any mortal to hurt me.
In this way, Feng Xi and I were locked in the carriage by those people, and my luggage and piano were also put into the carriage by those people. We followed the carriage for more than a day. When we opened our eyes, we saw
Someone came over and opened the lock. The man opened the door of the carriage and then lifted the curtain. A dazzling ray of sunlight shone directly into the carriage. Feng Xi and I both stood up and sat up. At this time, I was looking at Feng Xi.
Feng Xi's mouth was tightly blocked by some rags. No wonder he didn't talk to me all the way. I was looking at the man who opened the door, who was also one of the men who captured us last night.
She blindfolded Feng Xi and I, then led Feng Xi and me into a hall in a twisting and turning way. Then she took off the cloth from our eyes.
At this time, I looked around. This was a huge palace-like temple. In front of us were several majestic statues of gods. Then I saw the woman from yesterday looking at me and Feng Xi and exclaiming,
"You have to understand my rules when you get here, you know?" Only then did I have the opportunity to see the woman's face clearly. She was wearing a dark red long-sleeved cotton skirt, and she had two round arms on the back of her head.
There are two wooden carved hairpins stuck in the bun, which is obviously not carefully dressed. The skin on the face is smooth and delicate. Due to age, there are two extra pieces of flesh on the face.
.But the charm is still there. A pair of peach blossom eyes, and the black pupils look more fierce. Although there are many wrinkles around the eyes, the eye shape is still very good-looking, and the two thin lips are slightly red.
I looked at her and asked,
"What are the rules?"
The woman rolled her eyes at me,
"You don't have any rules anymore. Just do your job. Wash, cook, and clean."
The woman stepped forward, pulled off the cloth from Feng Xi's mouth, looked at her and said,
"From today on, you are the great wizard of our temple. We still have many witches here. Anyone who comes new can be a witch. Until the next wizard takes over, you can be a witch. But the next one comes
Wizard, if your appearance and conduct are not as good as yours, you will still be the great wizard."
I thought to myself, that’s good! It is said that everyone in the Shang Dynasty believed in gods and was good at hexagrams and the theory of yin and yang balance. For example, the high priest of the Sharman Kingdom was a very powerful person. I think the great wizard was also
There must be some real skills in praying for rain, mending hexagrams, etc. Unexpectedly, Feng Xi was very lucky, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
So I looked at the woman and asked,
"But Feng Xi doesn't know divination or some wizard's spells?"
The woman looked at me,
"That doesn't matter, it's very easy. Great wizards will only wear beautiful clothes and show up during ceremonies and sacrifices. Normally, you only need to interact with believers and pilgrims a few times to understand. As for the magic? Come on.
We will prepare a staff for the great wizard during a ceremony or when praying for rain. This staff contains energy. Even if she has no spells, as long as the staff is in hand, she can summon wind and rain. Next, Feng Xi will go
Put on the clothes of a great wizard and go to meet our distinguished believers here."
After saying that, the previous men came forward with clothes in their hands. They didn’t even ask Master Feng Xi if she wanted to. They just took off Feng Xi’s coat and put her in a red one.
Wizard clothing. The wizard's long coat worn by Feng Xi in front of me was extremely beautiful. It had a high collar and thin golden threads on the body. On the skirt in front was a golden phoenix with spread wings. On its head.
On top is a jeweled red crown. There are also two golden tassels falling from the ears. On the wizard's red crown is a ruby just hanging between the eyebrows. It is so beautiful that I was stunned.
, Feng Xi is so beautiful when dressed up.
The woman raised her hand and asked the men to help Feng Xize to the front hall of the temple. I thought she must be giving lectures to the believers. I guess the status of this great wizard is not low! I guess
There shouldn't be anyone bullying her here, right?
The woman looked at me and said,
"You can call me the witch mother from now on. The one who is responsible for managing you witches is also called the witch. Come on down and clean up. You will make dinner in the evening. Remember to use less salt and be vegetarian. People here do not eat meat.
"After that, I asked another man to send me to the back hall.
When I walked in here, I saw that all the mikos here were listless. Some seemed to be mentally disturbed, crying and laughing at times. I was a little confused, isn't it voluntary to be a miko? In addition to and
Apart from the fact that a sister-in-law cannot marry, she is no different from a normal person? Why is there still a spirit?
The man pushed me,
"Come on, what are you looking at? Your job is to wash and cook in the back hall. It's best not to come out if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether the witches here will harm you. And don't look at things you shouldn't look at, no.
Don't take care of things that are yours to take care of, otherwise your life will not be saved. What I tell you now is from the bottom of my heart, and no one will tell you this in the future."
It seems that this place must not be simple. The witch here must have done something wrong and was punished to become like that. Then I might as well pretend to be obedient and explore what is going on here.
What happened?
In just a short while, the man took me to a dilapidated room, then pointed at that room and said,
"This is your room. You can stay here at night. You have one more thing to do. Opposite your bedroom is the room of the new great wizard. You will take care of her daily life."
I saw the man pointing to the room opposite, which was filled with gauze and filled with fragrance, and said to me.
