Chapter 1099: Changes in Dujing County

The sacred tree of the Baima tribe is called the Snow Tree by outsiders. On the one hand, it is because after cutting its bark, a snow-white liquid will flow out, which is a rare raw material for white paint. On the other hand, it is also because the leaves look like flying snow.

After autumn, other trees will become withered and yellow, but the leaves of this snow tree will turn from green to white. After a period of time, it will be like flying ashes, blowing away with the wind.

In autumn and winter, watching this scene is very beautiful, but it is a bit desolate and cold, which makes people think that no matter how high your status is in life, you will be a handful of yellow earth after death.

In order to increase the total economic volume of the county under his jurisdiction, King Lu, also known as the eldest prince, ordered his men to come to Duqiong County to discuss cooperation with the local Baima people.

After roughly knowing what happened, Wu Yi was naturally not very optimistic about this matter. He had come to Duqiong County before, and the treatment he received was still vivid in his mind. The Baima people yearn for peace and are content with the status quo. How could they sell their beliefs for money?

But what happened afterwards was beyond Wu Yi's expectation. In just two or three days, that is, not long after this white-clothed scholar entered Dujian County, he had already developed to the point of organizing the public to go and obtain white lacquer.

What did this white-clothed scholar rely on to impress the Baima tribe? Was it just bribery? Or was it the promise of first-class fame and status. Was King Lu willing to pay the price of fame and status for this white lacquer?

Wu Yi couldn't figure it out, so he simply followed the people who were collecting white lacquer and secretly observed their attitude towards it.

As the relationship between the Baima tribe and King Lu gradually became deeper, the Yi Qi surrounding Dujian County, which was originally enough to cause the Yi Qi in Wu Yi's body to move, was now much weaker.

King Lu participated in the election system and might become the emperor in the future, which involved the future direction of a country. Wu Yi really didn't understand why the Baima tribe wanted to wade into this muddy water. Logically speaking, they should not be so ignorant to maintain the inheritance for thousands of years!

Since they yearn for peace, they should take the initiative to stay away from entanglement. The Baima tribe has a reputation for absolute neutrality. If the Baima tribe really refuses, King Lu will not use force, after all, he cares about his reputation.

Listening to the conversation between the Baima people secretly, Wu Yi was somewhat surprised to find that the joint mining of white lacquer seemed to be proposed by the Baima tribe themselves, with the purpose of spreading purity all over the world.

Similar to religious complexes, spreading the three views they believe in, this explanation is reasonable.

Although Wu Yi rarely interacts with people on weekdays, his inner demon body controls a huge Mingyue Realm! In order to deal with the relationship between his disciples and grandchildren and to reconcile the internal interests of the sect, the human body is also clear about many things.

This kind of thing that is purely insisted on for personal beliefs is to deceive the lower-level people. The real reason must not be so. At least this matter is not a good thing for the Baima tribe. Too much wealth is a disaster for them.

In any society, there will be a distinction between elites and civilians, but in some places, the distinction is based on knowledge, while in other places, it is based on wealth or status.

Although the Baima tribe is not large, there is also a distinction between the elite and civilian classes, and the way they divide is based on the amount of external knowledge.

In other words, the more you know about the outside world, the higher your status can be within the Baima tribe. Daily external communication is mainly the responsibility of this group of elites.

The ordinary people of the Baima tribe are actually a very simple group because of their regular work and rest schedules and their non-competitiveness. It is common for them to leave their doors open at night.

Although the elite group that often deals with the outside world knows more, their simplicity is more often eroded by the intrigues and intrigues of the outside world.

This also needs to be viewed objectively. If they do not approach the outside world and learn those means and tricks, how to protect the interests of the Baima people, a group of naive people will easily be deceived by outsiders and end up selling themselves into slavery.

However, if you learn the conspiracy and tricks from the outside world, you can use them on outsiders. If you think about it, can't you also use them on your own people?

Could it be that the upper class of the Baima tribe deceived the tribe members and deliberately sought fame? Wu Yi thought so in his heart. Although it is very likely, it is just a guess and needs to be verified.

It is no longer meaningful to continue to watch ordinary Baima people collect white lacquer. In the mouths of ordinary people who have not seen the dark side of the world, the world is clear and bright, which is childish and helpless.

Turning into a breeze, Wu Yi returned to Dujian County, which he had been "away" for half a year. This time, Taotie had taken the carp to the coast to absorb the dead air. Taotie could not hide his body, so Wu Yi had to show up with him. Now he was alone, so he didn't have to care much.

In addition, because the Baima people were connected with King Lu, they actually participated in the election system of the Daji Dynasty and were involved in the whole situation. They could no longer sit back and watch, attracting disasters from all directions.

The Yiqi that used to linger around Dujian County gradually became dormant. It can be said that the cooperation between the Baima people and King Lu was to destroy the Great Wall. In the past, if there were monsters coming to Dujian County, they would be afraid of the Yiqi here, but now that the Yiqi has faded, Dujian County is just an ordinary county town, at the mercy of others.

Ordinary people don't know this, but the patron saint of the Baima tribe, that is, the middle-aged woman who blocked Wu Yi from entering Dujing County in the past, should understand this. Why didn't she stop this cooperation? With her authoritative status within the Baima tribe, she doesn't need to show up in the daytime, and can just send a dream in secret.

But when Wu Yi carefully entered Dujing County, he was surprised to find that he couldn't sense the breath of this woman. What a joke, this woman is the patron saint formed by the incense produced by the Baima people's worship of their ancestors. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most noble existence in the Baima tribe. The power of the gods is all over Dujing County, but Wu Yi can't detect the other party's trace.

The cultivation of this god is just barely reaching the level of a middle-level god, and it is impossible to hide from the eyes of the heart demon body, so there is only one situation left, that is, this god should be suppressed.

The person who has the ability to suppress the guardian deity of the White Horse tribe in the place where they live should be the scholar in white. As a disciple of King Lu, a command from King Lu can easily achieve the goal.

Wu Yi thought so in his heart.

After many investigations, even using the method of tracing back the calamity, Wu Yi realized that the middle-aged woman did not disappear.

To be more precise, it is a change of person. The priesthood is no longer to protect the White Horse people first, but to lead the White Horse people to wealth first. Once the priesthood changes, the whole person's aura also changes drastically.
