Chapter 259: Dead Wood Grows Leaves
The skull is placed with dead leaves, and it is deliberately placed in this way to attract the attention of the two guests, and make the guests curious and take the initiative to ask.
As long as the guest asks, she can tell the origin of the skull and ask the guest for help.
Although Withered Leaf doesn't understand the immortal law, she was born special than others and can see a person's good and evil, strength and weakness.
Sometimes, you can even see a person's future.
This innate ability allowed her to gain a high status in the Deadwood Tribe.
Even if she is not the daughter of the patriarch Kurong, she can gain a foothold in the upper echelons of the Deadwood Tribe.
Although they felt very uncomfortable, Gai Wu and Xu Yedonkey were both taking care of eating and didn't care at all.
This made Kurong very anxious.
In private, Withered Leaf repeatedly emphasized that Gai Wu took her and flew over the Falcon Tribe, and Xu Yedon could also keep up in the air, such a person, even if he was not a god, was very close to a god.
Ku Rong believed in his daughter the most, and decided to curry favor with the two quasi-heavenly gods against public opinion.
After a full meal, Xu Yedonkey rubbed his belly, feeling that he hadn't eaten so much for a long time.
The elders who accompanied them were all whispering, and the food that Xu Yedonkey ate alone made them very distressed.
The dry sea couldn't hold his breath, watched them finish eating, and said, "Do you know this skull?"
Xu Yedonkey still had a piece of meat stuffed in his mouth, and said, "There are more skulls, and I can't know all the fat masters." ”
The dry sea's eyes were suddenly full of disappointment.
During the meal, Gai Wu had been observing everyone, and found that they were very concerned about the skull, and immediately asked, "Dead leaves, is there anything unusual about this skull?"
Hearing Gai Wu's inquiry, Dead Leaf immediately said, "This is a sign of death." ”
"A sign of death?" Xu Yedonkey asked with a smile.
"This is not a joke, we Deadwood will be the fourth tribe to be wiped out. ”
Gai Wu thought of Bei Fei and said, "The Bei Fei who took us to the Falcon Tribe has the same skeleton on his chest and says that the High Priest will come back and kill everyone. ”
All the elders' faces changed drastically.
Gai Wu asked again, "Dare to ask who the high priest is?"
Withered Leaf took a deep breath and said, "That's the evil god. ”
Demon?
In primitive societies, human beings worship gods very much, believing that gods can dominate everything, and all living beings, including human beings, are created by gods.
The so-called high priest is an evil god.
Evil gods cannot rule the world, but they can destroy it.
The patriarchs of the major tribes once paid the price of blood to seal the evil gods.
However, the evil god was not killed that time, and there were prophecies that the evil god would come to the world again with outsiders, and at that time, it would be the time for the major tribes to pay for their blood debts.
Xu Yedonkey stared at the skull and suddenly asked, "Gai Wu, could it be that the high priest captured Xiao Yueyue?"
Since Bei Fei is the person of the High Priest, what Bei Fei said is a lie, in order to temporarily conceal the whereabouts of the High Priest.
Gai Wu said: "At present, it seems that this possibility is the largest. ”
Xu Yedonkey turned to ask the withered leaves, "Do you know where the high priest is?"
Withered Leaf shook her head: "The place where the High Priest was sealed, no one in the world knows about it, but ......" She said as she looked at Kurong, as if asking Kurong's opinion.
Kurong is also thinking about whether to make some secrets public.
At this time, he heard Kuhai sneer: "I think they are eighty percent of them sent by the enemy. ”
"What is the chief priest like?" asked Gai Wu, just to confirm whether the man they saw that day was the high priest.
Withered Leaf shook his head: "No one knows what the evil god looks like, because everyone who has seen the true face of the evil god is dead, including the subordinates of the evil god." ”
Xu Ye said: "Xiao Yueyue must have been captured by the high priest's people, we have to hurry to the sealed place." ”
The elders of the Deadwood Tribe looked very solemn, and at this moment they all believed that these two outsiders were subordinates of the High Priest, and they were trying to find the sealed place by all means, probably to release the High Priest.
Kurong pulled the dead leaf to the back room, carefully explaining the various possibilities, and the dead leaf, who had been convinced of the fog, also began to hesitate.
The high priest was cunning and the best at deceit, and he had to guard against it.
The conversation between the father and daughter was clearly heard by Gai Wu and Xu Yedonkey.
The two of them glanced at each other, and there was cunning in their eyes, and it seemed that it was necessary to conduct a night probe.
In the forbidden land of the Deadwood Tribe, there must be a clue to seal the land of the High Priest.
When the dead leaves came out, they apologized: "Outsiders can't set foot in the forbidden land, so please rest well." ”
Gai Wu nodded, always smiling.
Xu Yedonkey asked, "Can you show me your sacred tree?"
The deadwood of the Deadwood tribe sounds very amazing, and since you have come to this tribe, of course you have to see it.
Withered Leaf said, "Come with me." ”
......
In the back mountain of the Deadwood Tribe, near the forbidden land, there is a towering tree.
The whole tree was as black as ink, and the thick trunk was cracked, and it was obviously not lightly struck by lightning.
Xu Yedonkey stood in front of the sacred tree, stunned.
I thought that the big tree that the entire tribe was dedicated to the gods would be very magical after being struck by lightning, but no matter how you look at it now, this is a dead tree.
The Deadwood tribe lives up to its name.
Gai Wu looked at the top of the dead wood and asked, "This tree is still alive?"
Withered Leaf said: "Only in the year of great calamity will the sacred tree sprout again. ”
Gai Wu smiled: "Then it seems that this year is the year of your great calamity. ”
The dead leaves were surprised.
Gai Wu pointed to the highest part of the sacred tree and said, "A bud has grown there, and I believe that new leaves will soon be unfolded." ”
Withered Leaves was stunned: "Why can't I see it?"
Xu Yedonkey's eyes widened, and he looked carefully: "Is it really, dead wood bumps can also sprout?"
In an instant, Xu Yedonkey began to believe that this dead tree might really be extraordinary.
The primitive man's worship of totems and gods may not be as blind as modern people think.
It is so long ago that archaeology alone cannot glimpse everything.
Gai Wu grabbed the dead leaf's shoulders and stepped into the air, all the way to the top of the dead wood.
At such a close distance, the buds can be clearly seen by the dead leaves.
The face of the dead leaf was unusually solemn.
She remembered that the Shenmu had also sprouted before, and that time the entire tribe was wiped out, and more than ninety percent of the people of the whole tribe died.
And that calamity was caused by the high priest.
Now that the skeleton has reappeared, the calamity foreshadowed by the Divine Tree may also be caused by the High Priest.
At this moment, the bud was slowly opening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bud bud turns from white to green, opening a tender green leaf.
And the leaves are also growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
The soft green light made the faces of the two turn green.
"Let me go, I have to tell everyone. After a long time, the withered leaves said.
Dead wood and leaves, ominous misfortune.
As soon as the dead leaves ran to tell the elders, everyone ran to the sacred tree.
