Chapter 150 Reading the Jade Slip
Chapter 150 Reading the Jade Slip
It seems that what Elder Gelu said was true. Everyone is here, and it was just them who were late.
Linlang: "Now that you are here, find a place to sit."
Meng Xianyu: “Okay”
Elder Gele naturally sat next to Elder Jiayu.
Meng Xianyu and Wu Na sat at the very end, near the door.
With their identities and qualifications, they should not have entered this meeting hall. If it weren't for the special instructions of the high priest, what would they be?
Meng Xianyu and Wu Na both understood this principle, so they sat obediently in the corner.
Linlang: "Everyone is here, let's start now! Yufan, you come and talk to everyone."
Yufan rarely did such things, and was somewhat flustered, but his brothers gave him great encouragement.
Yufan: "The high priest believes in everyone here, so we are all one family. At least at this moment we are not in opposition."
No one knew what Protector Yufan wanted to say next, but the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly depressing because of his words.
Yufan paused, as if making a final struggle. It seemed that he did not fully agree with the task assigned to him by the high priest, otherwise he would not have to be so entangled.
In fact, the high priest gave him two choices. One was to speak the voice in the jade slip publicly. In this way, everyone could hear it.
Because the high priest had nothing to hide. He just gave everyone their tasks.
But the high priest also knew that there were some things that not everyone was willing to share.
So the high priest set up a second option, that is, each of them can only listen to their own part. If someone wants to be public, they can choose to be public.
Before Meng Xianyu and the others arrived, Dharma Protector Yufan had already communicated with several other Dharma Protectors.
Except for Dharma Protector Linlang who supported the disclosure, the other Dharma Protectors were hesitant. Some either refused to express their views or, like Dharma Protector Amber, strongly opposed it.
Amber Guardian meant that if there were only a few of them, it could be made public. But now there are two elders from the temple, the head of Muren Village, and the two girls Meng Xianyu and Wu Na.
Even if they were people trusted by the high priest, they were still outsiders after all.
The things the high priest told us must involve some secrets of the sacrificial lineage. The more you know about some things, the more dangerous it is, and it is better not to know.
Amber Guardian didn't believe them.
After Amber Guardian said this, the other guardians also felt a little shaken.
Except for the guardian Linlang who always believed that the high priest's decision would not be wrong, everyone else was somewhat conflicted.
It’s not that they don’t trust the high priest, but they don’t want Meng Xianyu and the others to hear the secrets of the sacrificial lineage.
Linlang and Yufan discussed it and finally decided by voting.
Yufan abstained from voting, Linlang supported openness alone, and Hubo and two or three others supported listening to each other. The rest of the guardians abstained from voting.
Dharma Protector Linlang couldn't say much and could only follow everyone's wishes.
Although Linlang can suppress them as the successor to the high priest, they are still brothers who grew up together.
Linlang couldn't do such a thing. He didn't want to hurt the relationship between them.
So in the end, Linlang had no choice but to compromise.
Zhuji: "Just tell us what the boss wants us to do! I still have to go and heal the boss, time is running out, just tell us quickly."
Zhu Ji had already examined the high priest, and the high priest's condition was not optimistic. Zhu Ji was in a very tight time frame, and if the high priest had not given him instructions in the jade slip, he would have left long ago.
Yufan: "The boss left a jade slip. You can input spiritual power to hear what the boss said. The information from Elder Jiayu and Elder Gele is together. Elder Gele can do it. As for Miss Meng, you can just drop blood on the jade slip at the end."
When talking about Meng Xianyu, everyone else had a strange expression. Meng Xianyu was the only one present who didn't know what it meant to drip blood on the jade slip.
Drop blood on the jade slip, and the jade slip will become Meng Xianyu's thing.
Meng Xianyu had no spiritual power, and she had never touched a jade slip, so naturally she didn't know the ins and outs of this.
Yufan looked at Meng Xianyu, and Meng Xianyu nodded to show that she understood.
Next, they began to take turns inputting spiritual power.
Zhuji is in a hurry, so she will start first.
Zhuji recovered quickly and returned the jade slip to the guardian Yufan after he recovered.
Zhuji's expression didn't change much. It seemed that what the high priest said was within Zhuji's expectations.
Zhuji: "Then I will go back first. I have been in the forbidden area these days. If you have any questions, please go to the forbidden area to find me directly."
Zhuji went back to get what she needed, and then entered the forbidden area.
Yufan held the jade slip and didn't know who to give it to, because there was no fixed order for the others except Meng Xianyu.
Yufan looked at Linlang for help. It would be better for Linlang to handle this kind of thing.
Linlang had no choice but to take the jade slip.
Linlang: "Let's let Elder Jiayu come first. He needs to rest due to his injuries."
No one else had any objections, so the jade slip fell into the hands of Elder Gele.
But Elder Jiayu's expression became very serious.
Elder Jiayu is no longer able to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, and he is now a useless person.
Elder Gele held Elder Jiayu's wrist and injected spiritual power into Elder Jiayu's body. The two listened to the information together.
The expressions of the two were exactly the same, neither of them looked good.
Elder Jiayu: "I think you Dharma protectors should also know about this matter. If you don't mind, I will let you listen to it."
Linlang: "That is to say, this matter is related to us"
Elder Jiayu: "We still need the help of the Dharma protectors"
Since they must know about this matter, even if we don't make it public today, we will still have to find them later, so there is no need to hide it.
After getting consent, Elder Geller injected spiritual power again and retrieved the content related to them.
It turned out that the high priest gave them several options.
One is to enter a state of suspended animation. Find a safe cave and hide for three to five years, and then do it after the storm has passed. Such a cave can be found by the sacrificial lineage, and can also protect them.
One way is to leave from the sea and go to a mysterious island nearby where there is a barrier that the temple cannot find.
That was the territory of the priest lineage, and if they went there to recuperate, they would have to completely seal off their spiritual power because the people there did not have spiritual power.
Another possibility is to be reborn and reshape the body. This requires leaving Shuangling Island completely. Because only the members of the Yin family, the divine doctor, have the ability to help people be reborn.
Only the Yin family can allow those who have undergone a complete transformation to have no worries.
The high priest suspected that Elder Jiayu was under a spell. Someone had set a trap, waiting for someone like Jiayu to break in.
Elder Jiayu's leg was cursed, and the curse took effect. The person who cast the curse used the art of transfer to replace Elder Jiayu's good leg with a person who had been suffering from illness for many years.
The situations of the two people are completely reversed. Unless the person who lost the curse dies, or the person who took Elder Jiayu's legs dies, the curse will not be lifted.
If it really was a curse, the other party could come up with such a vicious curse, which meant that he had already disregarded the consequences in order to save people.
It may be impossible to track down who the other party is in a short period of time.
It's not a solution to just waste time like this.
If the curse can be removed, Elder Jiayu's condition will return to normal. But all this is just the high priest's speculation and has not been confirmed.
However, in the past few days, the Zhuji guardian has been trying but has not found the root cause. It seems that the high priest's guess has at least six possibilities.
Most of the High Priest's messages were about Elder Jiayu's situation, and there were basically few words about Elder Gele. He just let him make his own choice and respected his choice.
He also asked several guardians to fully cooperate with the two of them.
Meng Xianyu was confused as to what she heard. She had no idea that Elder Jiayu's injuries were so serious.
Because Elder Jiayu had been sitting there, looking pale, as if he was injured.
Originally, Meng Xianyu was thinking of going to talk to Elder Jiayu to find out the situation. But now it seems that she can only make other plans.
Linlang: "The two elders can go back and discuss and make a decision. Once you have made a decision, we will fully cooperate."
Elder Gele and Elder Jiayu were getting ready to leave, and Muren could no longer sit still.
Muren: "You two wait for me, let's go back together!"
Mu Ren didn't want to stay here any longer, he just wanted to leave quickly.
Muren: "I won't be polite with you guardians."
Muren finished quickly and the three of them went back together.
Linlang: "Wuna, if you are not in a hurry, just stay with Miss Meng."
Wu Na: “Okay”
Wu Na was fine, Wu Lan was calm and willing to eat. Yi Xi had someone to take care of him, so she didn't need to worry about him.
Linlang: "Whoever wants to come first can go first."
Amber: “I’ll come.”
After hearing this, the expression on Amber's face became even more ugly. It was obvious that she didn't agree with what Monk had said. But she had no choice but to obey.
Amber slammed the door and left, but everyone seemed to be used to it.
The jade slip lay quietly on the table, waiting for the next person.
Linlang: "Shanhu, come here"
If no one moved, then Linlang would have to call the roll.
Coral: “Yes”
Shanhu has been in a bad mood since she came back this time. Linlang and the others also asked about it, but they didn't get any information.
Coral: “I’m fine.”
Linlang: "Well, let's go back and rest first!"
The coral looked listless, as if it had lost its vitality, and no one knew what was wrong with it.
Linlang: "Don't be so modest, you guys should hurry up too. Once you're done, go back and rest. There are still many things to deal with next!"
Then they listened to the messages one after another and then left.
Finally, the only three people left in the meeting room were Guardian Linlang, Meng Xianyu and Wu Na.
