Chapter 215 A Better Way
The faces of the elders present are getting worse and worse, especially the elders of the sect.
Zongba's behavior made him embarrassed, and he was even more annoyed when he couldn't find Zongba's murderer. Priest Miao's words made him even more uneasy.
If the doctors in the Central Plains could crack the voodoo bugs, or even injure the voodoo caster during the voodoo bugs' attack, then this would be terrible.
"Master Priest..." Elder Hong wanted to say something, but Priest Miao waved his hand and stopped him: "I am not telling you this to scare you, nor to protect the Central Plains people. Everyone here has seen Zongba's case. You are all well versed in Nanyi’s methods. In your opinion, does Zongba’s death have anything to do with Nanyi?”
Several people looked at each other for a long time, and Elder Lan shook his head gently: "What the priest said is that if it is Nanyi's method, no matter what the situation is, it will not escape the eyes of a few of us. But Zongba's situation is indeed unheard of. I’ve never seen anything before, so what you say makes sense.”
Elder Meng said hesitantly: "But the Central Plains is so big. How are we going to find that person? The person who can kill the bewitcher under the siege of the beetles must be found."
Several people looked at Priest Miao, who waved his hand again and said, "Don't look at me, I won't look for you."
"Master Priest!" Elder Zong frowned. Priest Miao paid no attention to Elder Zong's reaction and continued: "I said, Zongba's behavior will be punished with death as long as it is exposed. Moreover, I don't think so. What's wrong with having someone who can pose a threat? Some people always think that Gu masters are invincible."
After saying this, Priest Miao looked around to persuade, with a hint of intimidation in his tone: "Don't forget why our ancestors didn't leave Nanyi."
This sentence made the five people's faces become particularly ugly.
……
Peng Qiongyu, who retreated, took Li Xinran and was about to leave, but Aya's greeting suddenly came from behind: "Little General Peng."
Peng Qiongyu paused, grabbed Li Xinran's hand and left quickly, raising the eyebrows of Aya, who was standing behind to wait for Peng Qiongyu to turn around.
As Aya screamed from behind, Li Xinran raised her eyebrows: "Brother, she called you."
Peng Qiongyu ran forward quickly and said without changing his expression: "I didn't hear it, Xinran, don't forget, we only have half a year now. If I can't beat this bitch in half a year, my grandmother will He’s going to be kicked out.”
"I remember."
"So we must seize the time and refine powerful earthworms as soon as possible."
"I agree. But..."
"But what, there is no but, just rush, just do it!" Peng Qiongyu shouted passionately.
"But brother, can you get on the horse! This is the east of the city! Our home is in the west of the city!" Li Xinran couldn't bear it and grabbed the hot-blooded little wolfdog, pointing at the secret guard who had been following the two of them and pulling the horse angrily. road.
Peng Qiongyu looked at Li Xinran who was being pulled by him, and then at the secret guard who was leading the horse behind him. He touched his nose with some guilt, turned around and got on the horse.
……
There are no secrets in the city, not to mention that the courtyard of Priest Miao is near the city lord's palace. After Xiao Yinchu recovered, he ordered Aya and Priest Miao to move out. He didn't want to try the taste of poisonous insects for the second time. twice.
When the five elders reported the report, Xiao Yinchu knew it, but he really didn't expect that the Nanyi people didn't understand the rules of the Central Plains to this extent. They all came to the vicinity of the city lord's palace, and most of them didn't come to visit him, the emperor's grandson. The actual person in power in the Central Plains.
Li Xinran and Peng Qiongyu went to Priest Miao every day. Xiao Yinchu also knew it, but there were too many things that he was responsible for in various places, and he had no time to care about it.
But after listening to the secret guard's report, Xiao Yinchu's eyes darkened.What he was most worried about happened. As a ruler, Xiao Yinchu hoped that Peng Qiongyu would lose this bet, so that he would still be his Little General Peng and could still help him conquer cities and territories. Colleague, Xiao Yinchu appreciates and hopes that Peng Qiongyu will win the bet so that his grandmother will not become a lonely ghost.
……
Aya, who was left behind by Peng Qiongyu, returned to her house angrily. Not long after, the elder of the clan came over.
After hearing the servant's announcement, Aya quickly came out to greet him: "Grandpa." She wanted to help the sect elder, but the sect elder waved her hand and refused.
Back in Aya's room, the sect elder asked: "You pulled my sleeve at the meeting just now, did you want to say something?"
Aya pursed her lips, waved her hand, and signaled Xiaoguo to take everyone down. After looking around at no one, she whispered: "Grandpa, do you want Nanyi to live a better life?"
The elder Zong frowned and motioned for her to elaborate.
……
"Nonsense!" The sect elder's angry voice came out, startling a flight of birds.
He looked at Aya in anger and surprise: "How could you have such an idea? Who told you! Who instilled this idea in you!"
"There is no grandfather! This is my own idea!" Aya was also a little anxious, "Isn't this bad! Aren't the women in the Central Plains beautiful? Aren't the lives of the Central Plains people rich? Why do we still guard those poor mountains and rivers, you Do you know how the people in the Central Plains describe our place? The poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people! We can obviously lead the people to live a better life!"
"Impossible!" The elder of the clan refused, "Our family has lived in Nanyi for generations. We will not go out, and we cannot go out!"
"Grandfather!" Aya stomped her feet angrily, "Why are you so stubborn! Stubborn! What good is there in Nanyi? Where can the Central Plains be rich in materials and live and work in peace and contentment?"
"Do you know what the consequences will be once we leave Nanyi!" The elder of the sect frowned and scolded, but he hesitated after he said the words, because this matter has always been a secret between the priests and the elders. There is a secret that even the Holy Successor will not know.
"I don't know what the consequences will be. The consequences will be that the better the clan members are, the better!" Aya stiffened her neck and refused to admit defeat.
The elder Zong looked at Aya's appearance and sighed heavily: "I'll tell you a secret that only the priests and elders know."
"What secret?" Looking at the worried look of the sect elder, Aya's curiosity was piqued.
"Once upon a time, our ancestors also tried to take us away from Nanyi and go to the Central Plains. That was an ambitious and civilized priest. He took us all the way north, even to the edge of the Yellow River. But he was When they were complacent, a huge plague suddenly broke out among the tribe. All the teenagers who had just started refining the voodoo and those who had been refining the voodoo for a while but had not yet hatched the voodoo began to suffer from abdominal pain. In the end, they even began to vomit blood and their skin ulcerated. .
The priest at that time was so worried that he ordered the military doctors to conduct a thorough investigation. After several sleepless nights, all the military doctors finally came out with the results.Guess, what was the result of the final inspection? "
Aya shook her head blankly.
The elder of the sect exhaled a heavy breath: "It turns out that in addition to the blood of the Miao family, the mountains and rivers of Nanyi are also one of the important medicinal materials for hatching Gu insects in our tribe. Those young people who have just refined Gu can't drink the water from their hometown. , the Gu worms in the body rioted, and they all died from the backlash. For the future of the tribe, the priest could only order the gold to withdraw the troops, and left the ancestral instruction to the priests and elders that the Nanyi people must not leave Nanyi."
After the sect elder finished telling the story, he thought Aya would be scared and give up the idea, but unexpectedly Aya curled her lips and said, "What's the point of this? It's just to stop the clan members from refining Gu in the future, grandfather!" She didn't seem to see it. The sect elder frowned, and stepped forward to hug the sect elder's arm:
"You have a voodoo in your body, and I have a voodoo in your body. It's just a matter of not letting others practice it. Look at the Central Plains, how vast and rich it is! Living here, you can live and work in peace and contentment! Grandpa, think about it again~
Seeing Aya's eager look, the elder Zong felt cold in his heart, but instead of scolding her, he asked hesitantly: "What do you mean? While they are fighting now, we Nanyi will take the opportunity to send troops?"
"Of course not!" Aya smiled proudly, "I have a better way, which can allow our people to live and work in peace and contentment in the Central Plains without spending a single soldier~"
