After placing Bai Feng, Xing Wu went back to see the high priest directly.
"Here he comes."
The high priest sat on his seat, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and opened the door of the bamboo building with a wave of one hand.
"Xing Wu, including the leopard that Yu Rouchen hunted today, how many beasts at the level of beast kings have been hunted by the tribe in the past few months."
Xing Wu touched his beard and thought for a moment, "This month alone, the tribe has hunted four. Last month, I remember two. Counting further back, three months ago, one was hunted.
"
"In the past few years, we could only see one beast king-level beast. In just six months, we have encountered seven. Xing Wu, don't you think it's abnormal?"
"High Priest, you mean..." Xing Wu's pupils trembled, his voice expanded uncontrollably, and he shouted, "Did something happen to the Fuso Shenmu again?!"
The high priest stretched out his hand to signal him to calm down, and then slowly spoke: "The spiritual power of the Fuso sacred tree has fluctuated, which is more severe than the one more than 20 years ago."
"What, it was more intense than that time more than twenty years ago..."
Xing Wu clenched his fists, and the muscles in his cheeks trembled slightly from clenching his teeth.
"More than twenty years ago, the saint disappeared, the spiritual power of the Fuso sacred tree fluctuated, and a fierce leopard king went crazy and attacked the tribe. Father, father, used the unfinished move of Green Ape to Shake the Sky, killing the beast, and finally he himself
also……"
The high priest closed his eyes and asked, "How does that leopard king from back then compare with the leopard kings hunted by the tribe in recent months?"
"Huh?"
, how can it be compared with the one that broke into the tribe more than twenty years ago. High Priest, why are you asking this?"
"We, Shushan, have a mission passed down from generation to generation, which is to protect the Yu Yuan seal. We must not let the monsters in the seal cholera the world.
More than 20 years ago, the spiritual power of the Fuso sacred tree fluctuated, and soon after, the Leopard King came to the tribe; this time, since the spiritual power fluctuated half a year ago, the tribesmen encountered beasts of the beast king level, increasing month by month. The arrival of Bai Feng, let
I confirmed my guess."
"Bai Feng, that Central Plains person?"
"His companion was seriously injured, it was the King of Birds."
"What, a king bird!"
The news that the high priest had brought Bai Feng here told Xing Wu, "That king bird ordered thousands of birds to hunt down the passers-by of Bashu and attack the Guyin people. The Guyin tribe responded with a formation of annihilation.
.”
Xing Wu frowned and grabbed each other with both hands, "Array of Annihilation, I remember this technique, it has no power, it should have no effect on the King Bird."
"Bai Feng said that the cry of the king bird was very painful, and the annihilation formation alleviated her pain. I asked several priests to take the king bird to the priest's platform, and then perform the annihilation technique on it."
"The priest's platform and the sacred fuso tree are just..."
"Yes, after being baptized by the Array of Annihilation and receiving the spiritual power near the Fuso Sacred Tree, the king bird recovered quickly and is very docile."
The high priest stood up holding the ancient wooden staff, walked around twice, and when he spoke again, he was full of worry: "Bai Feng has the ability to communicate with birds. His description, and the transformation of the king bird before and after, and then contact
What happened to the tribe and how these animals in nature mutated, other than the influence of the evil energy leaked from Yu Yuan's seal, there is no other explanation."
There is a monster that destroys the world sealed in Yuyuan. There is a flaw in this seal, and the demonic energy is constantly leaking out. The Shushan Fusang sacred tree is a line of defense to suppress the seal.
What is happening to the tribe now, and the news brought by Bai Feng, are enough to show that there is a huge loophole in the line of defense of the Fuso Sacred Tree. If this line of defense is completely lost and Yu Yuan seals it, I am afraid...
Xing Wu quickly figured out the connection, and his face became darker and darker, "High Priest, if this is really the case, how should we deal with it?"
The high priest was silent for a moment, then touched the ground with his staff, turned around and stared at Xing Wu seriously, "You put the clansmen into a state of combat readiness, expand the scope of exploration, and be alert at any time to the tide of beasts that may attack. Regarding the Fuso sacred tree, I
Go and ask the teacher immediately."
The teacher of the high priest is the previous high priest. This old priest has retired for a long time and lives under the Fuso tree. He is a great master in the realm of heaven and man.
The situation is serious, and the high priest can only hope that teachers in the realm of heaven and humans can find ways to deal with the problems of the Yu Yuan seal and the Fuso sacred tree.
…
On Bai Feng's side, he is temporarily staying in Shushan, waiting for the giant bird to recover from his injuries.
Ju Shuang, Ehuang, and Yan were in the Guyin tribe, waiting for the natural power of the forest to retreat before heading to Shu County.
What the four of them encountered is not known to the outside world. However, in the past few months, a storm has brewed in the land of Bashu.
…
Bajun, Fu County.
As the governor of Bajun, Fu Yi received extremely bad news from Xianyang.
"My lord, the salt sent to the Central Plains in the previous quarter was unsaleable."
"Bang~"
Fu Yi slapped the case, stood up angrily, pointed at the subordinate who came to report, "What did you say?"
The subordinate immediately knelt down and held a booklet above his head with both hands, "Master Sheriff, it is absolutely true, 80% of the salt in the previous quarter was unsaleable."
Unsaleable, 80%?
Eighty percent!
Fu Yi felt his eyes go dark and almost fell down. He held the case with both hands and barely stood up. His eyes were wandering, his lips were trembling, and he didn't know what he was mumbling.
As one of the important salt producing areas of the Qin State, Bajun naturally exports a large amount of salt. Most of this huge profit is taken away by the state in the form of taxes, and the remaining part is used to feed the local wealthy families. Of course
, those who drink soup also include Fu family.
Now, you tell me, 80% of the salt sold in one quarter is unsaleable?!
"This is impossible, impossible! What happened?!"
Fu Yi rushed to his subordinates, grabbed the booklet, and stood there to read it.
At this time, in the Central Plains market, the salt produced in the East, with its low price and good quality, swept over the salt produced in Qin.
Originally, the quality of everyone's salt was about the same, half a catty to eight taels. If the nobles wanted refined salt, they would naturally have to pay a high price. Anyway, they were willing to be ripped off.
Now Dongfang suddenly lowered the price of salt of the same quality, launched a new type of salt, sold it at the original price, and swept the low-end market. It also quickly occupied the high-end market with an extremely exquisite high-end refined salt. Major majors in Qin State
The salt produced in the production areas has been unsalable to varying degrees.
And in the land of Bashu, misfortunes never come alone.
The war in the salt market was a man-made disaster. The land of Bashu happened to suffer another natural disaster.
On the road from Bashu to the Central Plains, the number of missing people has been increasing in recent months.
At first, people didn't take it seriously, until one time, a caravan of hundreds of people traveled through the dense forest and was chased by ferocious beasts. They encountered a swarm of birds on the plank road. Only two people out of a hundred people were alive because of bad luck.
The news spread, and people in Bashu were panicked.
The salt industry, a huge pillar of the economy, was hit hard, and transportation was also hit hard for no reason. Fu Yi saw this ridiculous, ridiculous, but factual record, and he felt a surge of blood, a sweet taste in his mouth, and he fell straight down.
