Chapter 40 Bai Mu was executed
After the last stage of teaching was completed, a large number of envoys left.
Now almost everyone in the tribe has learned to farm, but because crops take a certain amount of time to grow, everyone still continues to hunt on a daily basis.
Lu Xingchi, who used to come to see Yunzhi frequently, suddenly reduced his frequency and did not show up even after several appointments.
Every time I apologized and said something urgent happened.
Although Yunzhi was curious, she did not delve into it further. She just thought that Lu Xingchi's novelty had worn off.
Young people’s likes come and go quickly.
So in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Yunzhi decided not to do it herself this time and decided to hand the task over to Ah Fu.
Asking Lu Xingchi to help walk the dog, Ah Fu took Lu Xingchi to the back mountain.
The bodies buried under the trees were discovered in this way.
Lu Xingchi originally thought that Ah Fu was digging the hole for fun until the corpse inside was revealed.
His expression turned serious and he immediately told Lu Kui about the situation here.
Soon, this incident caused an uproar in the tribe.
Fifteen unknown bodies are hidden in the back mountain where Bai Mu lives.
Bai Mu naturally became the number one suspect.
Who these fifteen corpses belong to has become the biggest question in everyone's mind.
Lu Kui collected a list of people who had left or disappeared in the tribe over the years, and the numbers matched.
Call the families of the missing persons and ask them to identify the bodies.
At the scene, a tall man knelt on the ground and started crying.
"This... this man is my eldest brother! I thought he abandoned us and went south and never came back, but I didn't expect he was dead."
Lu Tingxiu asked: "How did you recognize it?"
The man said, "My eldest brother's right hand has two missing fingers. It was injured when he was a child. The shape of the missing fingers on this corpse is exactly the same as my eldest brother's. It must be him!"
In this way, many people gradually identified their family members and begged the patriarch to help them find the murderer.
Lu Kui wiped his eyes hypocritically and put on a look of deep sorrow: "Everyone, rest assured, I will find the murderer and let them rest in peace."
In order to further find out the cause of death of these people, Lu Kui invited a witch doctor to perform an autopsy on the bodies.
After looking at the bodies, Zhou Feng told everyone that the cause of death was poisoning, and it was a highly toxic poison.
These dozen or so corpses were all strong males.
The killing of so many people did not seem to be due to any personal vendetta, but rather to some kind of sacrificial activity where these people were sacrificed.
Lu Kui then asked the Eagle Tribe's priest Xili to come over and see if there were any signs of sacrifice.
Xili and Bai Mu don't get along, and they're eager to see him get into trouble.
After checking the terrain of the back mountain, I found that the trees were planted in special positions.
Xili said, "These orcs were indeed sacrificed, alive. In the past, some priests would deliberately sacrifice living orcs to improve their own skills, but this cruel sacrificial method is currently banned."
"So this was Bai Mu's doing?"
"Who else could it be besides him? The person was bought from the mountain behind his house, and the way he died was as a sacrifice."
"It's so cruel. How could he do such a thing?"
"Bai Mu doesn't treat us orcs as human beings. He orders us around and acts bossy."
The people in the tribe were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that Bai Mu be arrested and interrogated.
Lu Kui pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You all know that Priest Bai Mu is from the Beast Temple. The tribe has no right to judge him."
"Are we just going to watch him get away with it? Will all our people's deaths be in vain?"
"The people of the Beast God Temple will protect Bai Mu. Bai Mu will definitely not die. We cannot hand him over to the Beast God Temple."
"So many people from our tribe have died. He must pay."
After causing great indignation among the people, Lu Kui felt that the hatred had been aroused enough in recent days, so he promised to bring Bai Mu back and let the people of the Snake Tribe judge him.
Later, when the Beast Temple wanted to hold someone accountable, he took the responsibility alone.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the tribe began to trust Lu Kui more and more.
In order to trick Bai Mu back, Lu Kui sent someone to give Bai Mu a message, saying that he had found clues about the person who killed Bai Yu.
Bai Mu believed it to be true and ran back in a hurry.
Little did he know that as soon as Bai Mu entered the tribe, he was surrounded by people and his hands and feet were tied up.
"What are you doing? I am the priest of the tribe. How dare you do this to me."
"Bah, so what if you're a priest? We've already discovered the dirty things you did. Now let me ask you, did you kill those people in the back mountain?"
"What corpse? I have no idea. You are deliberately trying to frame me."
Bai Mu felt a chill in his heart. On the surface, he still tried to deny it, but secretly he used his supernatural powers to untie the rope and try to escape.
Lu Xingchi noticed his little trick with his sharp eyes, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and crippled his hands and feet.
Bai Mu's hands and feet suddenly became limp and he couldn't use any strength, let alone activate his supernatural powers.
He stared at Lu Xingchi with red eyes, wishing he could kill him.
Lu Xingchi wasn't afraid at all: "You wanted to use your superpowers secretly? Didn't you say you were wronged? Why are you running?"
Lu Kui walked in from outside the crowd and looked at Bai Mu lying on the ground in a mess.
Bai Mu raised his head and yelled at Lu Kui to let him go.
Lu Kui ignored him, and Bai Mu was furious: "You can't treat me like this. I'm from the Beast God Temple. Aren't you afraid of offending the Beast God Temple?"
Lu Kui looked down at him, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
He has suffered a lot from Bai Mu over the years.
Bai Mu kept talking about the Beast God Temple and used chicken feathers as a token of authority.
Being bullied by this incompetent guy, Lu Kui had long wanted to deal with him.
This time, he was executed in the name of the entire tribe.
Even if the Beast Temple wanted to investigate afterwards, would they have to arrest everyone in the Snake Tribe?
It was Bai Mu who used the prohibited sacrificial methods first, so they had no right to cause trouble.
Lu Kui knew the people in the Beast God Temple. They never did unprofitable business.
In order to continue to send new priests to the tribe to be stationed here in the future.
The most we can do about this is turn a blind eye.
The Beast God Temple cannot fight against the entire snake tribe just for Bai Mu.
Bai Mu didn't know that his life was in danger this time, and thought he would just suffer some hardships.
After a series of interrogations, Bai Mu's mouth was finally pried open and the fact of killing the orcs was confirmed.
The next day, after everyone voted, Bai Mu was about to be burned at the stake.
When he was tied up, Bai Mu realized that these people really didn't intend to let him go, and he was so scared that he peed his pants.
Sometimes he said that the Beast God Temple would avenge him, and sometimes he said he was wrong and begged everyone to let him go. He spoke incoherently and had long lost his condescending attitude.
No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use, Bai Mu was still burned to death by the fire.
The heavy stone in Yunzhi's heart finally fell to the ground. No one in this world would know that Bai Yu died at her hands.
