Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised. Ever since she set foot in Baiyu Village, she had never revealed her name, and there were very few people who could match her with the identity of Luo Xuan's daughter.
How did this person know?
But in order to enter the village, Shen Ruoxi admitted: “I am.”
The high priest glanced at Shen Ruoxi with deep eyes, then looked away: "Don't you want to go into the village? Come with me."
Under the leadership of the high priest, no one stopped her, and Shen Ruoxi finally entered the village.
Baiyu Village is indeed different from other villages in the border town. The land here is covered with green plants, with gurgling water, singing birds and fragrant flowers, as if you are in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
From time to time, there were sounds of laughter in her ears. Shen Ruoxi glanced over and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Whether it's washing clothes, cooking, or doing heavy work, it's all done by women. Since she came to the village, she hasn't seen a single man.
Could this be a country of women?
Shen Ruoxi was so curious that she couldn't help asking, "Where have all the men in Baiyu Village gone?"
She thought no one would pay attention to her, but the high priest spoke.
"We in the White Feather Clan respect women. Women are born with healthy and strong bodies, while men are weak and sickly. Even if they survive, they will just stay at home."
The high priest's sister, the commander of the guards, smiled and continued, "So none of us in the Baiyu tribe want to have sons. If there's any benefit to having a son, it's that he can carry on the family line for other families, and in exchange for money, we can use it to marry our daughters off to good men, so we don't have to use the public money."
Shen Ruoxi opened her mouth in surprise. This was completely opposite to today's feudal society, and even went to the other extreme.
but……
"Public?" Shen Ruoxi didn't quite understand what this meant.
The commander of the guards glanced at Shen Ruoxi with an ambiguous look in his eyes. "Don't worry, you'll understand after you've been here for a while. If you behave well, perhaps I can let you experience what it means to be in ecstasy!"
Shen Ruoxi shuddered, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably creepy.
The high priest took Shen Ruoxi directly to where he lived. It was a three-story stilt house, and it was also the tallest building in the entire village.
At the stairs leading to the third floor, the tribesmen who followed the high priest stopped and stayed where they were.
"Sister, do you really want to bring her, a outsider, to the astrology room?" the leader of the guard asked in surprise.
The high priest nodded: "Only by doing this can I confirm whether she is the person I am looking for."
The guard leader's eyes flickered, and he suddenly understood something and said nothing more.
When I reached the top floor, I found a closed room with only blue candlelight flickering in the four corners.
With the help of the dim light, Shen Ruoxi vaguely saw a mural carved on the wall. The leader was sitting on the back of the divine horse Chenghuang, leading the tribe in a great battle.
In the center of the ground, there is a huge Five Elements Bagua formation. In the center of the Bagua formation, there is a sand table with six words written on it.
"Luo Xuan's daughter Ruoxi."
Shen Ruoxi was wondering, so she listened to the high priest's explanation.
"The White Feather Clan has been able to thrive for so long because our ancestors swore an oath that whenever chaos emerges, the leader will lead the entire clan and seal it with all their might."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi subconsciously clenched her fists.
She had indeed come to the right place. Hun Dun had told her that in Wanwan's previous life, he was sealed under the coercion of the entire clan, thus sowing the seeds of cause and effect for three lifetimes.
So, the leader of the Baiyu tribe is Wanwan’s previous life?
"Can I see your leader?" Shen Ruoxi asked anxiously.
The high priest chuckled, his words carrying a hint of mockery: "Our White Feather Clan hasn't had a true leader in a hundred years."
"What? How could this happen?" Shen Ruoxi asked curiously.
"Because Cheng Huang hasn't recognized the successor we chose for a hundred years."
After listening to the high priest's description, Shen Ruoxi finally understood that this was actually an agreement made between the ancestors of the Baiyu tribe and the gods.
Anyone who is qualified to become the leader of the White Feather Clan will have a teardrop-shaped birthmark on his body, but this does not mean that they are the real leader of the White Feather Clan. At most, they can only be regarded as heirs.
Only those with extraordinary abilities who are recognized by the ancient mythical beast Chenghuang are qualified to sign a contract with it, inherit Chenghuang's powerful strength, and become the true leader of the Baiyu tribe.
As long as the White Feather Clan is without a leader, they will become weaker and weaker until the spiritual energy of this place is exhausted. Then they will live a miserable life of displacement like ordinary people.
"So I prayed day by day and watched the stars every night. Finally, the heavens were moved by my sincerity and brought me a prophecy, and this prophecy is you!"
As he spoke, the high priest looked at the six words on the sand table.
She stepped forward, grabbed Shen Ruoxi’s hand, and pressed it on the sand table.
The next moment, the Bagua formation under their feet began to rotate, and under a flash of strong light, a tornado swirled in the sand.
The high priest stared at the tornado with wide eyes until the moment it stopped, and then a big word suddenly appeared on the sand table.
"yes"
The high priest was ecstatic. He knelt on the ground and prostrated himself towards the eastern sky.
"Thanks to the gods, thanks to our ancestors, the Baiyu people finally see hope!"
"So what exactly does this prophecy mean?" Shen Ruoxi asked in confusion.
The high priest looked at Shen Ruoxi with blazing eyes.
"What it means is that only you can help the heir of the White Feather Clan pass the Chenghuang Trial and become the true leader of the White Feather Clan!"
“Me?” Shen Ruoxi pointed at herself, becoming even more confused.
"That's right! This is the oracle. Even though I can't comprehend it now, there must be a reason behind it!"
“Shen Ruoxi, if you can help the heir of our Baiyu clan take the position of leader, you will be our clan’s great benefactor, and I will agree to cooperate with you Han people, how about it?!”
Shen Ruoxi connected all the known information together and finally figured out some things.
In her previous life, Wanwan must have gained Chenghuang's recognition under some opportunity and took the position of leader. Finally, at the strong request of the tribe members, she sealed Chaos.
But why would this opportunity be related to her in this life?
Was the opportunity in her previous life also related to her? This was impossible, so her arrival might actually change everything.
If Wanwan had not become the leader of the Baiyu Clan in her previous life, she wouldn't have had to risk her life to seal Chaos!
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoxi seemed to have finally found a way out of the maze.
"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you. Please take me to see your heir!"
