After wasting most of the day in Dongping City, Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong returned to the fishing village without making any progress. It was already evening, and it should have been the time when every household was raising smoke from cooking, but instead they saw the villagers gathering on the mountain.

There seemed to be some kind of mysterious gathering being held near the shrine in the cape.

The goddess dressed in black held up her staff and stood on a small makeshift platform in front of the temple, dancing crazily and uttering fragmentary words of unknown meaning from time to time.

"What are you doing? Sacrifice to the gods?" Wei Qiutong saw the enthusiastic and excited expressions of the villagers watching from a distance, and couldn't help but frowning in worry.

Yu Shiqi shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

The two then went to Xiao Wu's home and saw that Xiao Wu's family did not attend the gathering in front of the shrine, so they asked them about the situation.

It turns out that today coincides with the annual Poseidon Festival. As usual, the whole village gathers in front of the shrine to watch the witch dance and then make tributes to the shrine. Xiaowu's family has conflicts with the goddess during the festival, and they are worried that they will be killed during the festival.

I was treated maliciously, so I didn't go to participate.

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing that the villagers worship the Poseidon so crazily and blindly," Wei Qiutong said to Yu Shiqi.

"It will be easy to be deceived and used." Yu Shiqi also thought of this.

In order to get more information, the two decided to go to the temple on the mountain to watch the festival up close. When they climbed to the top, they found that there were people with torches rushing towards this place. They seemed to be coming from several other nearby villages.

Villagers.

"It seems that the scale of this festival is much larger than we imagined. Not only Xiaowu's village, but also people from other nearby villages came to participate."

Yu Shiqi was also surprised. At the same time, he thought that with the influence of the goddess, it would be very difficult for them to break the villagers' superstition of the sea god.

Wei Qiutong saw Yu Shiqi deep in thought and guessed his worries. She suddenly thought of something and said with regret: "According to your plan, Mr. Yu, it would be best for us to take action at this time, right?

During the ceremony, we gathered all the villagers from nearby villages and exposed the goddess in front of them."

Yu Shiqi sighed. Wei Qiutong was right. If they can make all preparations at this time and ask Chen Jingxuan to help, then they can create a miracle for the villagers at the festival and expose the goddess in the name of worshiping the gods.

The true face of lining one's own pockets is the most appropriate.

"It seems that luck is not on our side." He laughed to himself. Not only did Chen Jingxuan leave Xizhou Island early, but they couldn't even find decent clothes in Dongping City for them to pretend to be the goddess.

Although Wei Qiutong was a little reluctant, he had to admit that the timing this time was really unlucky.

The two of them watched the ceremony in front of the temple from a distance. As more and more people gathered, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. The goddess on the stage danced crazily as if she would not get tired. The people in the audience

The villagers also started to swing their bodies.

"It all depends on people. Are you two just giving up?" Xu Jingkong's voice suddenly came from behind, startling both Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong.

The two turned back and saw Xu Jingkong wearing a long gray cloak walking slowly from the foot of the mountain, followed by two young white-clothed servants.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?" Yu Shiqi asked.

"Just seeing if you two need my help." Xu Jingkong smiled and turned to look at the ceremony in front of the temple, "What will happen if the huge ignorance and ignorance gather together and add some superstition?

Can you two guess it?"

Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong looked at each other, neither of them answered.

At this time, two white-clothed servants behind Xu Jingkong spoke one after another. One said "courage" and the other said "crazy".

Xu Jingkong nodded and said: "Together, it's almost the same. It's just crazy courage."

Anything with a crazy prefix will become dangerous. Yu Shiqi vaguely understood the meaning behind Xu Jingkong's words. At this time, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out in front of the temple on the promontory, and the witch dance of the goddess finally stopped.

But under the gaze of everyone, she raised the staff in her hand high and announced to everyone in a tone as majestic as a god: "Because there are ungodly bad guys among you! Poseidon is angry! Go and remove the blasphemy quickly.

People bring it! They must pay the price for their arrogance and rudeness!"

After hesitating for a moment, the villagers in the village rushed towards the house of Xiaowu's family at the foot of the mountain. Everyone understood that the blasphemous people mentioned by the goddess were referring to that family, because before that, they had been subjected to the goddess's long-term treatment.

Brainwashing and bewitchment.

Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong were still in a daze, and Xu Jingkong on the side said meaningfully: "It seems that a tragedy is about to be staged in front of you. Are you two planning to stay and be spectators, or should you stay away as soon as possible and out of sight?"

For the sake of purity?”

Looking at the vast crowd of villagers flocking to Xiao Wu's family, Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong were worried. They were not ready yet, but the goddess had already made up her mind to complete her final revenge today.

"Master Yu, we can't wait any longer, let's draw our swords." Wei Qiutong said urgently.

This seemed to be the only option left at the moment, but Yu Shiqi was further than she thought. Even if they killed the goddess at this time, Xiaowu's family would no longer have a foothold in the village.

"Master Yu?" Wei Qiutong shouted anxiously, stamping her feet because she saw that the villagers were already breaking down the door of Xiao Wu's house.

Although Xu Jingkong did not use his mind-reading skills at this time, he had already understood what Yu Shiqi was thinking, and said: "What Shaoxia Yu is worried about is not to use force against the villagers, and under this premise, even if he kills that

Even the goddess can't change the current situation of that family being ostracized and bullied in the village."

Yu Shiqi was convinced by his words and finally nodded: "Mr. Xu is right, the difficulty in this matter is not to kill the goddess, but how to change people's hearts."

"It is difficult to change people's hearts. People are always willing to believe what they see in front of them." Xu Jingkong said slowly, "Fanasia will be amplified by contagion among the crowd. When the vast majority of people believe in that goddess,

, even if there are still a small number of rational people among them, they will remain silent and be coerced by it.”

"Then sir, is there any way to teach us?"

"Of course there are ways. As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't establish it." Xu Jingkong smiled, "The idea that Shaoxia Yu had thought of before is a good way. Why not carry out it firmly?"

Wei Qiutong replied on behalf of Yu Shiqi: "Even with the help of Mr. Xu's secret skills, our preparations are still somewhat inadequate. To be honest, we searched for a long time in Dongping City today and did not find suitable clothes..."
