Chapter 503 Can You Keep Up With Me?
A cultivator from the Central Plains who was at the Zhiming Realm came to visit Southern Xinjiang and was welcomed far beyond Lin Yun's imagination.
Not only the Black Wind Village and the White Wind Village, but even neutral figures like the priests began to win them over.
However, when Lin Yun looked at the petite priestess wearing a large black and white robe, he always felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The black and white clothes reminded him of Wuchang, and the petite appearance reminded him of Wuxin.
The logic of this reasoning is not rigorous. Just because Impermanence is black and white does not mean that black and white are Impermanence. Just because Wuxin is a short person does not mean that a short person is Wuxin.
Perhaps both of them put pressure on Lin Yun. Their power level was too high for Lin Yun to deal with.
Seeing that Lin Yun seemed a little curious about the high priest, Lin Yu sent him a voice message: "The high priest has a unique status in Southern Xinjiang. The ancients said that the most important affairs of a country are sacrifice and war. The high priest in charge of sacrifice has always been the controller of Southern Xinjiang. However, with the rise of the Black Wind Tribe and the White Wind Tribe, the high priest gradually lost his authority..."
All of this background was investigated by Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy when they stole the Forget-Me-Not Gu in the past.
At that time, they did not have the strength to sweep across southern Xinjiang, so they could only carefully lurk, disguise themselves, sneak into the village to gather intelligence. The situation in southern Xinjiang was also learned by chance.
Among them, there are only three who control the Forget-Sorrow Gu: the Temple, the Black Wind Village, and the White Wind Village.
The rise of the Black Wind Tribe and the White Wind Tribe challenged the status of the high priest.
The situation in southern Xinjiang is roughly the same as that in the north. There is a high priest and a high shaman, both of whom are responsible for sacrifices, and people in both places have enough reverence for the gods.
But on the grassland, the chief shaman is the absolute ruler. Even if the chief shaman dies, the new chief shaman still has absolute authority.
In comparison, the high priestess of Southern Xinjiang did not have such an easy life. In name, she was still the core figure of the entire Southern Xinjiang, but she had no one under her. The villages of the Black Phoenix Tribe and the White Wind Tribe would only obey the orders of their leaders, and not the high priestess.
The temple is only responsible for sacrifices and occasionally acts as a notary to mediate conflicts between the two tribes.
After all, they all have the same ancestors, and it would not be good for one side to completely destroy the other.
The high priest serves as the best third person to maintain the stability of the situation. Although the Black Wind Tribe is strong, they cannot confront the high priest and the White Wind Tribe head-on. The temple still has some strength, but it is the weakest.
"...Perhaps the high priest also wants to find a way out of the impasse, so he invited us. If other villages don't have a better method, we may gain something by going to the temple."
While Lin Yu was communicating with Lin Yun about the situation in southern Xinjiang, he was also responding to the high priest's words.
"Don't worry, High Priest. We came here with sincerity and good intentions. We have no intention of interfering in your internal affairs. Since the High Priest has invited us, we would be disrespectful to refuse."
Seeing that Lin Yu was invited away by the high priest, Hei Feng and Bai Jing were somewhat unwilling, but this was a result that both parties could accept. If Lin Yu left with the other party, they would be even more uneasy. In comparison, the temple did not put much pressure on them.
The temple is entirely supported by the high priest, who does not have enough people under him.
Population is the lifeline, and the high priest can only serve as a symbol. Even if Lin Yu is called, she can't make much change.
Even if there was absolute military force, it was impossible for the high priest to kill all the people from the Black Wind Village and the White Wind Village together with Lin Yu. If they killed people and there were no believers, what was the point of the temple having such a southern border?
At this point, no one objected.
However, Bai Jing still kept a cautious look in her eyes and said, "You two have come from a long way and are not familiar with the road conditions. The high priest is old and may not be able to take good care of you. It would be better to let me accompany you. If you encounter poisonous insects and miasma along the way, I can be of some help."
Bai Jing's real intention is not to drink. With Lin Yu's cultivation level, he is not afraid of poisonous insects or miasma.
The only purpose was to create an opportunity for Bai Gan and Lin Yun to get in touch with each other and build up their favorability.
Lin Yu saw through their little calculations, but also thought that if the temple could not do anything, Baifeng Village would at least be a way out.
In short, there is no need to close this road.
Lin Yu smiled politely and said, "In that case, thank you for your help."
When Black Phoenix saw that the White Phoenix tribe had sent people, it naturally did not want to be outdone.
She said to Gao Qing, "You will accompany the distinguished guest to the temple on behalf of our Black Wind Village!"
When it comes to figure, the women of our Black Wind Tribe are not bad either!
Lin Yu: “…”
Very good, I have remembered everyone from your two villages.
Lin Yu smiled kindly, but still allowed Gao Qing and Bai Gan to join the team.
The high priest summoned a tiger, which was her mount.
Lin Yun still felt that she was a little strange, so he took the initiative to approach her and said, "May I ask your name?"
Logically speaking, Lin Yun should call him senior, but he had said before that he and Lin Yu were husband and wife. Calling him senior now would lower Lin Yu's seniority. In this case, he had no choice but to be impolite.
"The name is just a title, just call me High Priest."
The vicissitudes of life voice refused to answer Lin Yun's name, and Lin Yun did not force it, but the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.
After leaving Bajiaozhai, the group hurried towards the temple.
As soon as they got down the hill where Bajiao Village was located, the chief priest said, "Since your husband has been poisoned, we should not delay. You should be able to keep up with the speed of the big cat!"
Lin Yu nodded, and the high priest patted the tiger under his seat. The tiger was called Big Cat and was also a spiritual beast.
Lin Yu looked at the big cat being ridden by someone and suddenly felt unhappy.
A tiger occupies a mountain forest. Even if it serves a human as its master, it should fight for him. Being ridden by someone is not what a tiger does!
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Lin Yu flew up on his sword, followed closely by Lin Yun.
Not to mention keeping up with the speed of the high priest, if she tried harder, the high priest's tiger would not be able to see the spiritual light emitted by her sword.
Gao Qing and Bai Gan were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect the high priest to have such a trick. He nominally cared about Lin Yun's physical condition, but in fact he wanted to use his speed to get rid of them.
The two looked at each other and understood one thing.
It doesn’t matter if you are thrown away by them, as long as you don’t get thrown away by them.
Chase!
However, since the two of them had no means of flying with swords, they could only use their own means of transportation.
That's right, they go out on their own two legs.
Gao Qing snorted coldly and used the Bouncing Gu on himself. This Gu could make a person as light as a swallow, jump high and far.
Gao Qing's jump instantly caused a huge commotion. Bai Gan's eyes also turned serious and he looked down at himself.
It’s a bit difficult to defeat this opponent!
ps: I didn’t go to the aquarium, but I was still tired... That’s all for today, I’ll update tomorrow
