Elder Bai, who also returned to the house, took off the veil from his face and sat at the table thoughtfully.
After drinking two cups of tea, I figured out where the problem lay.
Early the next morning, several elders met. Of course, only three elders met, and Elder Yan still refused to join them.
"Elders, I discovered a problem last night." Elder Bai said.
"What problem did you find? Could it be that the person who entered the house was not the clan leader, but another person?" Elder Lin said.
"Of course not. The person who appeared last night was the clan leader. We can see clearly by the moonlight. How can it be false?" Elder Bai said.
"Then why are you surprised?" Elder Lin asked.
"When you were fighting with the clan leader yesterday, didn't you notice that something was wrong with the clan leader?" Elder Bai said.
"What do you mean?" Elder Lin asked.
Elder Qi did not speak, but recalled some details of his confrontation with the clan leader last night. Wait, Old Man Bai was right, there was something wrong with this clan leader.
"The patriarch should not be the opponent of the three of us, but last night he easily threw us away and left the house." Elder Qi blurted out after thinking about it.
"You mean the clan leader's cultivation level has improved again?" Elder Lin asked.
"We still know the abilities of the clan leader very well. Although his cultivation level is not low, it is still difficult to deal with the three of us. But last night, although he did not confront us head-on, his escape exposed his abilities even more.
These days, he has been hiding his strength." Elder Bai said slowly.
"Why does the clan leader hide his strength?" Elder Lin asked puzzledly.
The clan leader's actions really aroused the suspicion of the three elders, especially Elder Qi. The clan leader's rapid improvement in cultivation was definitely not the result of his hard work.
Especially the patriarch's cultivation was still hidden from them. If it was just hiding it from Old Man Bai, how could he also hide it from him?
"This is also a question we want to know. I'm worried that he has practiced the forbidden technique brought by the saint." Elder Bai said.
"Silver Moon Saint? There are actually no forbidden arts of the Fengtian Sect, and there are no problems with our clan's cultivation, but why did he hide it from us?" Elder Qi asked.
"The forbidden arts of the Fengtian Sect are different from the forbidden arts of our clan. Our witch clan mainly focuses on witchcraft, and the forbidden arts we practice are also related to poisons. But the forbidden arts of the Fengtian Sect are different. Saint
You have also seen the example of women, right?" Elder Bai frowned and said.
Elder Lin suddenly became worried and asked, "Can the clan leader practice?"
"I don't know where the Silver Moon Saint is now. If she is in Fengtian Sect, we can at least ask her whether the forbidden techniques she brought back were given to the clan leader." Elder Bai asked anxiously.
"That person was captured by Master Wu Zun. I think he must also be in Fengtian Sect, right? I think it's better to wait for the girl to come over to diagnose the children's pulse and let's check their voices?" Lin Zhang asked.
"What is the origin of that girl? She seems to have a good relationship with the witch master." Elder Bai asked.
"I heard the patriarch call her a saint. She must be a saint from the Fengtian Sect." Elder Lin said.
"But, if we ask her, she might not know. What should we do if it reaches the ears of the clan leader?" Elder Qi asked cautiously.
"She has always been a member of the witch master, why would she mention this matter to the clan leader?" Elder Bai said.
"It's been several days, and I don't know when this girl will come over," Elder Lin said.
Elder Qi said, "I'm just worried about Old Man Yan. You know his stubborn temper. He hasn't seen it with his own eyes. No matter what we say, it won't help."
In fact, the four elders have a very good relationship. If it were not for the clan leader's plan, they would not have any differences at all. He was worried that Elder Yan would not end well if he followed the clan leader, so he was very worried about Elder Yan's safety.
The three of them were talking when they heard Elder Yan's voice from outside the door: "You three are actually discussing things here behind my back?"
Elder Qi raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that he had abandoned them and left. What was going on today?
Elder Bai glanced at Elder Yan who had just come in and said, "Didn't you leave first yesterday?"
"You..." Elder Yan naturally had nothing to say to Elder Bai's question.
Just when Elder Yan had nothing to say, he heard the voice of the tribe: "Elders, the girl who treated us last time is here again."
After several elders looked at each other, they all went outside to greet Murong Xi in tacit agreement.
This was the first time for Murong Xi to meet these elders. Last time, he only focused on diagnosing the pulses of those girls and did not pay attention to who the elders were.
"Saint girl." Elder Bai said.
"Where are those children?" Murong Xi asked.
"They are all in the room. Is the saint here to heal them this time?" Elder Bai asked anxiously.
He really cares about those tribesmen and doesn't want anything to happen to them.
"Their situation is very difficult, so I can only temporarily suppress the poison in their bodies. I also ask the elders to take me there. Let's start with the ones who are in serious condition first." Murong Xi said.
Elder Bai volunteered and took Murong Xi into the house. Murong Xi went in and found two women who looked very serious. They were swollen and lying motionless on the bed with only one breath left.
Murong Xi knew that if he didn't deal with it in time, the poisonous insects might burst out of his body. So, Murong Xi asked the elder to go out first, then he gave the woman an injection, and finally took a pill. Soon, the woman's
My face looks much better and my body is less swollen.
Murong Xi treated the other girl with the same method, and finally covered the girl with a quilt and prepared to go out.
She wiped her sweat and was putting away the silver needle when Elder Bai suddenly walked in.
Murong Xi was very surprised and asked, "What can I do for this elder?"
"How are they?" Elder Bai asked worriedly.
Originally, Elder Bai wanted to be more direct and asked Murong Xi if he knew if Yinyue was also in Fengtian Sect. However, when he saw the girls lying there, he couldn't help but want to care about them.
"The poison in their bodies has been controlled, but this is only temporary. But I am very curious, do the people in your clan regard all the girls as poison raisers?" Murong Xi said no.
Said saltyly.
"The person who raises Gu?" After hearing Murong Xi's words, Elder Bai swallowed what he wanted to say and asked instead.
"That's right, someone is using them to raise Gu, otherwise why would it be so serious? Didn't your clan leader discuss it with your elders?" Murong Xi asked doubtfully.
Only then did Elder Bai realize that the clan leader had known for a long time that these children were not poisoned, but raising the poison. But why didn't he tell the elder? Did he know who was raising the poison?
"What the saint means is that these children are raising gu?" Elder Bai asked.
"That's right, the people in the clan are not suffering from backlash due to practicing forbidden arts. These are caused by cultivating gu. After diagnosing the pulses of these women last time, I was really angry because I suspected that they were from your clan.
We are using these girls to raise gu." Murong Xi said helplessly.
"How is this possible?" Elder Bai said.
Murong Xi did not answer Elder Bai, but it was impossible to let him guess on his own. When Murong Xi was about to go out, Elder Bai hurriedly said: "Holy girl, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Murong Xi asked.
"I wonder if you have seen Yinyue. Is she also imprisoned in Fengtian Sect?" Elder Bai asked.
"Yinyue? She is not in Fengtian Sect, but you can rest assured that we have no intention of making things difficult for her." Murong Xi said.
Seeing that Murong Xi was willing to tell him, Elder Bai said gratefully: "Thank you to the Holy Girl and Master Wu for your tolerance. I don't know when I will see her again."
Seeing that Elder Bai seemed anxious to see Yinyue, Murong Xi said, "What do you want to see her for?"
Elder Bai hesitated, but in the end he did not tell the truth to Murong Xi. He just said: "No, it's nothing, I'm just a little worried about her."
"Nothing, then I'll go to the next room." Murong Xi smiled, opened the door and left the room.
After Murong Xi walked around in a circle, he said to Elder Bai: "The poison on their bodies is under control. Don't worry. You are the elder of this clan. I think you should be able to find clues about who is so cruel and so cruel."
Treat these children. If you have any news, remember to have someone notify me."
It was not until Murong Xi left that Elder Bai realized the meaning of Murong Xi's words. When the three elders saw Murong Xi leaving, they all went to Elder Bai's house with a tacit understanding.
"Elder Bai, did you tell that woman?" Elder Lin asked.
"No. However, Yin Yue is not in Fengtian Sect, and the saint means that she will not embarrass Yin Yue." Elder Bai said.
"What? How could you let go of such a good opportunity?" Elder Qi asked excitedly.
"Because I was shocked by her words." Elder Bai remembered what Murong Xi had just said.
"What did she say that made you forget what you wanted to say?" Elder Lin also asked him curiously.
Elder Bai looked at Elder Erlin and Elder Qi who were standing in front of him, and then moved his eyes to Elder Yan.
"Is this related to me?" Elder Yan asked still doubtfully.
"Of course not, it's just that this matter is about those children." Elder Bai said.
"Those girls? Can't they be cured?" Elder Lin asked sadly.
"They are not poisoned at all, but are raising the poison." Elder Bai hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Raising gu? Those children are raising gu, old man Bai, please explain clearly. Among those children, there is a baby who has just turned one month old. How can they raise gu?" Elder Yan asked in surprise.
Except for Elder Bai, the other three people present were very shocked. How could those children be raising Gu? Did Murong Xi lie to him again?
"That's what the saint said. The poison in their picture cannot be cured now and can only be suppressed temporarily. The clan leader has known about this for a long time. The saint suspected that someone in our clan is using these children to raise poison. After she diagnosed the pulse,
I told the clan leader, but the clan leader didn’t tell us." Elder Bai said.
"The clan leader knows about this?" Elder Lin asked.
"Yes, that's what the saint said." Elder Bai said affirmatively.
Elder Yan snorted softly and asked, "Would you rather believe the words of the saint than the patriarch?"
In fact, Elder Yan felt very guilty when he asked such a question.
