Chapter 373 Confusion
Chapter 373 Confusion
"Your destiny has now taken a turn for the better. If you want a peaceful life and want to ward off disasters and seek refuge, Mother Ali will open a door to heaven for you..."
The voice of the man in black seemed to have a unique charm. He talked incessantly and everyone in the room was very quiet.
The scent of sandalwood mixed with the odor of human sweat filled the entire room.
Let Xi Niang be in a daze and not notice the passage of time.
Just as she was dozing off, she heard the man shout.
"Aliya, may all your wishes come true. I will dedicate my whole body and soul to bring peace to those who serve me."
The people in front of the man began to recite with him.
The chanting sound gradually spread throughout the house, buzzing and vibrating Xi Niang's nerves.
She unconsciously followed suit and recited.
I kept reciting it like this, I don’t know how many times.
Until the man stood up, lowered his head and opened his hands, and was silent for a moment.
"Please open your heart and accept the blessings of your brothers and sisters, and the blessings of Our Lady of Ali."
Everyone followed the old man's example, opened their hands and began to recite.
The man brought a bowl of water and began to cleanse the soul of each person who recited the mantra.
He dipped his fingers in clean water and rubbed it on everyone's forehead a few times.
The man stood in front of Xi Niang, looked at her intently for a few seconds, and then began to cleanse Xi Niang's soul.
When Xi Niang wiped her forehead with the clear water, she felt a cool sensation, and then her mind seemed to become clear.
After the man finished wiping the forehead of the person chanting, the door was opened and the old lady began to lead each person out.
No one left on their own initiative, they just waited for the old lady to come back and then went out hand in hand.
Xi Niang also closed her eyes, silently reciting the mantra in her heart, and immersed herself in it physically and mentally.
Until she was the only one left in the room, the man in black waved his hand and asked the old lady to leave.
He slowly walked to Xi Niang and whispered in her ear.
"If you wish to attain eternal peace, please open your mind and body, accept the Virgin Mary's blessing with your most sincere body, and follow my movements to enter the most wonderful state..."
Xi Niang still closed her eyes and concentrated, and what she heard was a beautiful and moving sound.
Without even looking with your eyes, you can unconsciously follow the man's movements.
The man in black began to untie the belt around his waist and slowly took off his shirt.
Xi Niang also began to untie her belt and take off her brown skirt, leaving only her underwear.
The man in black still did not stop, and continued to take off his underwear while chanting.
Xi Niang also took off her clothes without any hesitation or pause.
Soon, both of them took off their clothes and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The man in black was reciting something, but his eyes were open, looking up and down at Xi Niang's naked body.
The room was dimly lit and filled with the smoke of cigarettes.
What appeared in the eyes of the man in black was Xi Niang's body covered with scars, which looked hideous and terrifying.
The man in black felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and he shivered all over.
The momentary pause made Xi Niang frown.
The man in black woke up with a start and quickly increased the volume of his chanting. He began to pick up the clothes on the ground with both hands and slowly put them on one by one.
After a brief moment of confusion, Xi Niang followed the man and began to put on her clothes.
The man in black let out a breath, stood up, opened the door, and called the old lady over.
He gestured to lead Xi Niang out.
The old lady walked over, took Xi Niang's hand, and led her out of the house.
When passing by the east wing next to the courtyard.
The tall and strong man was sitting behind a desk with a small cloth bag on it.
The tall and strong man took the cloth bag in his hand, weighed it, grinned at Xi Niang, and handed it forward.
As soon as Xi Niang went out, she came to her senses. She knew that those were twenty copper coins, her reward for tonight.
She reached out to take the cloth bag, but was unexpectedly touched by the man.
Xi Niang didn't dodge at all, but just glanced at the tall and strong man calmly.
The man then gave her an even more obscene smile.
The old lady slapped the man with her hand, dragged Xi Niang out of the house and sent her home.
Xi Niang returned to the room, sat on the bed and began to think.
This party made her feel like a dream, and she couldn't remember what happened.
In a daze, I felt like something was wrong, but when I thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head vigorously and decided to call the soldiers for the next gathering and catch them all in one fell swoop.
This task is said to be complicated but it is not complicated at all, as they are all ordinary people.
The main ones are those so-called preachers, whose identities are suspicious. They should be members of the Black Scarf Society.
Preaching and throwing money around gradually makes people addicted.
Step by step, they fell into the pit they had dug long ago.
It was already past midnight and Xi Niang felt tired.
She trained with the soldiers every day and had never felt so tired.
I don’t know what these people are up to.
I lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep. A feeling of loneliness came over me and I felt that it was not easy to live in this life.
Since following Lin Qiaomei, life has been getting better and better, and he has never felt lonely, desolate or sad.
I am not even thirty years old yet, still a young person. Why can't I have my own home and my own life like others?
Is this how I will continue to live, following Lin Qiaomei into battle?
Until one day, he died on the battlefield?
Lin Qiaomei also advised herself to find a suitable man to marry.
I firmly refused it.
She was afraid that others would touch her privacy, and she was also afraid of experiencing the pain of separation from her loved ones again.
That feeling is worse than death.
But dying alone or on the battlefield is not the life I want, deep down.
Xi Niang began to feel lost about her life, her present days, and her future...
She suddenly remembered what the old man had said. Why should others be rich and prosperous while she must live out her life in loneliness?
Why should I fight for others?
Xi Niang's thoughts were in a chaotic state in her mind, and waves of depression and resentment were plaguing her.
You are still young and have a lot of good times ahead of you. Why can't you move towards happiness?
Just when she was confused.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the door.
The night at the beginning of the Yin hour was very quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.
Xi Niang was so distracted that she didn't notice the noise at her door.
My usually alert nerves quietly shifted direction.
A tall black shadow tiptoed to Xi Niang's bed and listened to the movement on the bed.
Then he leaned over to check Xi Niang's face.
Just when Xi Niang was feeling extremely upset, she suddenly felt something strange in the air and opened her eyes to look.
It was less than a foot away from a bearded face.
In the dim light, both of them were startled at the same time.
Xi Niang trained her physical fitness all day in the military camp, and her reaction was very quick. She raised her hand and punched, hitting the big face.
The bearded man was hit so hard that he groaned and fell to the ground.
He covered his nose with his hands and cried out in pain.
Xi Niang turned over and sat up from the bed. She had already seen clearly that this guy was the tall and strong black man.
The man stretched out his palm and found it was sticky with blood, and he immediately became ferocious.
He stood up and pounced on her, pressing Xi Niang under him with his huge body.
