Chapter 254 The Secret Has Long Been Leaked
Bai Zhaozhao was speechless: How can I watch it? I can watch it while standing, sitting, or lying down!
Whether the story is true or false, what does it have to do with her?
However, she still has ideas about two details. For example, the bell is probably another spiritual object. She doesn't know if it still works after so many years.
As for Tingyan grass, it should be a special kind of grass, maybe it is the legendary spiritual grass. It can drive away wild beasts and let the villagers settle down. However, after so many years, the people of the Wu tribe have already marked this territory. As long as the wild beasts are not stupid, they should not attack the village.
Therefore, the high priest only felt regret for the disappearance of this holy object.
So Bai Zhaozhao asked: "Does this bell have any special abilities?"
The high priest nodded with satisfaction: "As long as we worship it every year, it will bless us with good weather and good harvests."
The three of them were bewildered. That was it? What was the difference between that and praying to the gods?
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, you really have good weather and good harvests?"
The high priest said: "Yes, we have had a good harvest every year for generations. There has never been drought or flood."
Three people:! ! !
So magical!
It's hard to imagine what kind of divine object this is! If the emperor knew about it...
The Wu clan leader said solemnly: "No one in the clan is allowed to reveal this secret."
Xie Xingmeng was so mean that she asked back, "Hasn't there been a single traitor among you all these years? No one dared to tell anyone?"
The Wu clan leader snorted coldly: "Of course there are, but guess what their fate is?"
Xie Xingmeng stopped talking.
Bai Zhaozhao was more sensible. She immediately said in all seriousness: "I swear, the three of us will never reveal this secret, otherwise my two uncles will be struck by lightning!"
He Anyu: ...
Xie Xingmeng: ...
The high priest laughed twice, then started coughing again. The witch tribe leader nervously helped her to calm down. She waved her hand to show that she was fine: "Girl, I believe you, but it has nothing to do with your oath. It's because I can see that you have a connection with our witch tribe. This is a sign of mutual benefit for us."
Bai Zhaozhao: Me? I suddenly feel so stressed!
He Anyu asked a more practical question: "Has Xie Shaocai known this secret for a long time? That's why he planned it for a long time and tricked Ah Yu into coming here?"
Xie Xingmeng: "That's right, which means that the secret has been leaked a long time ago! Maybe it was told by a member of the tribe who married outsiders in the past!"
The Wu clan leader sighed: "The reason why we don't prohibit intermarriage with outsiders is because we have rules about intermarriage. Even if there are occasional mistakes, I can handle them. I didn't expect..."
Bai Zhaozhao seemed to be thinking: "So how did he steal the treasure?"
Xie Xingmeng snorted: "This is not that simple, it was Ah Yu who stole the treasure, right, Chief?"
The Wu clan leader said in a deep voice: "Yes, we guess that it was Xie Shaocai who kidnapped Ah Yu's parents and threatened her to steal the treasure, and then Xie Shaocai killed them to silence them."
He Anyu looked at Bai Zhaozhao's expression, and an idea flashed in his mind: "Zhaozhao, do you suspect that there are still traitors in the Wu clan?"
The Wu clan leader was shocked: "What did you say? Impossible! Our people have always been pious to treasures!"
He Anyu explained: "This is normal. As the clan leader, you naturally don't want to believe that someone has betrayed the Wu clan and colluded with others. But I have seen this kind of thing many times, it is not uncommon."
Bai Zhaozhao said, "Chief, I once asked Ah Yu if she would give birth to a child if she couldn't find Xie Shaocai. She said no, which shows that she has a strong sense of belonging to the Wu Clan.
So in my opinion, A Yu is not a love-brained person... Well, what I mean is that she is a rational girl, and she also made many observations before going to the Xie family, and then came to the same conclusion as you, thinking that Xie Xingmeng is Xie Shaocai, which shows that she is very smart.
So if a rational and intelligent girl encounters her parents missing, the first thing she should do is to look for them calmly. If she is threatened to steal treasures at this time, she should analyze the matter instead of stealing the treasures without thinking.
I think the most likely thing she would do is to ask you for help, but she didn't ask you for help. What does this mean?"
The Wu clan leader had a gloomy look on his face: "This means that she was not threatened, did not steal treasures, and did not betray the Wu clan!"
He Anyu also understood something: "Ayu and her parents were killed and thrown next to the exit. That place shouldn't be considered hidden, right? At least it shouldn't be difficult to find them, which means the murderer didn't want to hide. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to throw them in the deep mountains over there? Maybe you wouldn't find them for ten days or half a month."
Xie Xingmeng didn't have the brains to handle the case, so he could only act as a supporting actor: "So Xie Shaocai's goal is to frame the person! Let the Wu Clan think that Ah Yu is the traitor!"
He Anyu rolled his eyes at Xie Xingmeng and said, "No need, Xie Shaocai is the one who framed you, it doesn't matter if the Wu Clan or the Xie Family settles the score with you, he has already left anyway.
As for whether the Wu Clan would regard Ah Yu as a traitor, it had nothing to do with him, but had everything to do with the people who stayed behind. "
"Bang!" The Wu tribe leader accidentally knocked over his teacup in shock. "You mean, the person who killed Ah Yu's family is one of the Wu tribe's own people. He stole the treasure and gave it to Xie Shaocai, and then framed Ah Yu!"
Bai Zhaozhao said firmly: "That's right! Although it's just speculation, it's more reasonable, isn't it? You can't just steal your treasures, right? At least you should have a long-term plan and implement it at the critical moment. How could she steal it smoothly as soon as Ah Yu was threatened?"
The Wu clan leader murmured to himself: "Who is it?"
Xie Xingmeng suddenly said, "Doesn't the high priest have a divine eye? Can't he just look at who among your tribesmen has committed murder recently?"
Bai Zhaozhao shook his head: "Master, if the Heavenly Eye was so easy to find, the Wu Clan leader would not have misunderstood you. Including this time, if it was not necessary, he would not have asked the high priest to come out. Besides, there are at least tens of thousands of people in their tribe. If every one of them were to be seen, it would probably be extremely exhausting."
At this time, the high priest looked at Bai Zhaozhao with appreciation: "Yes, the Heavenly Eye has limitations."
He Anyu said softly to the Wu clan leader, "In fact, the real traitor should not be difficult to find. First, he knows Ah Yu's family. Second, he has access to treasures. Third, he is a martial arts expert. Fourth, he is eager to leave this valley or has something to ask of Xie Shaocai. Fifth, he often goes out. I'm guessing that he may be a friend of Ah Yu's parents! Wu clan leader, do you have any idea?"
The Witch Chief was shocked all over, his expression changed again and again, he opened his mouth but did not answer He Anyu in the end.
The high priest sighed deeply, then slowly stood up and walked to another stone chamber. After a moment, she handed a cloth bag to Bai Zhaozhao and said, "This is the seed of Tingyan grass. I will have my tribesmen send you out. Once we find the real traitor and get information about Xie Shaocai, I will send someone to contact you again."
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes flashed. "High Priest, how about you just announce that we've left? My master and uncle are both good at hiding. It's no problem for them to spend a few nights in the woods!"
He Anyu: ...
Xie Xingmeng: ...
