Bai Fuling saw that in a small shabby house, a little girl was sitting in front of the window, holding a bamboo hairpin and looking at it again and again.

This is the wronged ghost! Bai Fuling took a while to identify it. The main reason was that the little girl's face was still fine, unlike when she was in the wronged ghost state where half of her face was rotten.

The little girl sat in front of the window for a long time. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she put the bamboo hairpin into her sleeve, stood up and went to the next room.

In the next room, the old couple looked pale and thin, and looked sick. It seemed that they had not eaten enough for a long time and were severely malnourished.

Bai Fuling secretly guessed that these should be the little girl's parents.

"Erya!" The old woman stood up slowly, looked at her daughter eagerly, and wanted to hold her daughter's hand.

"Mom!" Erya held her mother's hand and took a few deep breaths. "I've made up my mind. I want to be a goddess."

When her father, who was sitting next to her, heard that she was going to be a goddess, he suddenly looked up with shock in his eyes.

"You're not getting married! Didn't you like the second son of the Zhang family very much in the past?" The mother looked a little embarrassed. It was obvious that she was reluctant to give up such a good in-law. She muttered softly, "The betrothal gift is a cow. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose the land."

"Mom! Our land has been barren for so long. For three years, there is almost no food growing in the land. Everyone has eaten up all the surplus food and now has to eat tree bark and wild vegetables. Everyone is so hungry that they are pale and skinny and have no strength. Even if we have a cow, it's useless! We have to find food for it when we don't even have food for people!"

"But...but, we can eat the meat after killing the cow!" said the mother in a low voice.

"What happens after we eat up the cow?"

The mother was stunned, obviously stumped by the question, and then she said guiltily, "Maybe... after this period of time... the disaster will be over!"

My father didn't say anything, obviously he agreed with what my mother said.

But Erya disagreed. She let go of her mother's hand, walked to the door of the house, looked at the sky outside and said with a firm and powerful tone.

"Yesterday the village chief took me to visit several villages in the next town. They have three goddesses, who were selected from more than a dozen villages. I was very close to the goddesses and saw with my own eyes how they prayed for medicine and rain. It was amazing!"

Ugh! Girl, you've been deceived!

Calling the wind and rain sounds impressive, but in fact, it is just a matter of snapping fingers for cultivators with wind or water spiritual roots.

And the so-called request for medicine, it should be that the alchemist refines the medicine in advance, and then uses a sleight of hand to make the goddess produce the medicine like a magic trick.

These people from Wuji Sect are really deceiving! They rely on the fact that they are cultivators to deceive people!

Also, the various natural disasters in the nearby villages were probably caused by the Wuji Sect! They wanted the villagers to fall into their trap.

It’s so scary to think about it!

Bai Fuling rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, silently praying for Erya in her heart, and finally understood why this girl became a goddess.

Erya was full of anticipation and became more and more excited as she spoke, but when she turned around she saw her parents' worried faces.

"But mother heard that once you become a goddess you can't get married, and you have to leave home and live in a temple! Or... let someone else be the goddess, or... like before, ask goddesses from other villages to come and pray for us." Mother tried to discuss with her.

But Erya had already made up her mind. "Mom, please stop trying to persuade me! If everyone was like you and didn't want their daughter to become a goddess, there would never be a goddess in our village. Besides, if it was really that effective to invite goddesses from other villages to pray for blessings, how could our villages without goddesses become so desolate!"

If goddesses from other villages come to help pray, they have to pay double the tribute.

When Erya's father heard this, he suddenly thought of the days when the village used to pay high tributes, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He sighed heavily and said nothing.

The reason why the disaster in several villages in their town was more serious than in other towns was that no one in the dozen or so villages in their town was willing to be a goddess.

When a village without a goddess encounters a disaster, it can only endure it. If it can't bear it anymore, it will ask the goddesses of other villages to come and help pray.

But the goddess of the other village was not invited for nothing. Everyone in the village had to pay double the tribute.

Therefore, once the disaster was over, these doubled tributes had to be paid, which was why these villages had been so poor.

It was for this reason that the village chief had taken her to visit several girls from the villages in the next town yesterday, in order to let them see the benefits of having the goddess in other villages.

"But..." Before her mother could finish her sentence, Erya interrupted her.

"Mom, we can't just think about ourselves! I've thought about it, I want to be a goddess and pray for rain for our village. I want the land in our village to grow lots of food, and we don't have to pay high tribute. I want the people in our village to not only have enough food to eat, but also have plenty of surplus food. If anyone is sick, I will ask for medicine for them so that they can recover from their illness!"

"Mom, please stop trying to persuade me! I won't marry Brother Zhang!" Erya pulled her mother's hand.

Erya's mother wiped her tears, turned her head away and ignored her.

"Clang!" The sound of a wine jar breaking was heard at the door, accompanied by the sound of running water, and a strong smell of wine drifted into the house.

Erya's family, including Bai Fuling, all looked towards the door.

Then they saw Zhang Er standing at the door, looking at a loss, not knowing whether to go in or out. Under his feet were broken wine jars and wine flowing freely.

Obviously, he heard what Arya said just now and accidentally broke the jar of wine.

Bai Fuling recognized him at the first sight, the farmer!

So, they are really a couple!

What a strange combination of circumstances! Bai Fuling sighed deeply.

How can we not feel pity when a pair of lovers ended up with such a fate because of the Wuji Sect's scheme!

"Second boy of the Zhang family! You heard it all. My Erya doesn't want to marry you! She wants to be a goddess!" Erya's mother said to Zhang Er in a huff.

"Mom! Don't be like this!" Erya felt a little embarrassed when her mother deliberately misunderstood her.

"Don't be like that. Didn't you just say you didn't want to marry him?" The mother sniffed. "Yesterday I shamelessly asked the Zhang family for a cow, and they agreed. But you're here to ruin my plan!"

"Second brother! Let's go out and talk!" Fearing that her mother would get more and more ridiculous, Erya led Zhang Er out, and Bai Fuling quickly followed.
