Luo Qingluan took advantage of her decoction and carefully checked the tools needed for treatment, and asked everyone to wait quietly outside the door.

At dusk, Mu Xiaoyu finally walked into the house with a bowl of porridge-like medicine: "Sister Luo, the medicine is ready." ”

When her words fell, Luo Qingluan held her breath and concentrated, pierced the silver needle in her hand into the major acupoints of Gongbabu's body, sealed his blood flow, reached out and took the medicine bowl in her hand, and carefully fed the medicinal food to the patriarch one bite after another.

As soon as he was fed half a bowl of medicinal food, he only heard Gongbabu cough a few times, and the blood he spit out again had turned a normal bright red.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the people in front of him, his mouth was open and closed, but he could only make a faint sound.

"Don't talk yet." Luo Qingluan held Gongbabu's shoulder, continued to feed the medicine, and did not take off the silver needle from his body until the whole bowl of medicine was fed, and said to him while checking the pulse, "The toxin has been removed, but your body is still very weak, and you must not move at will." ”

Gombab struggled to raise his voice to the crowd: "Thank you for saving me, you are the benefactor of our tribe!" ”

"It's a gesture." Luo Qingluan shook his head modestly and told him exactly what had happened these days.

"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, the tribe wouldn't have suffered such humiliation! Gombab cried out in grief, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.

Luo Qingluan was worried that he was overly emotional, and said softly: "The high priest does have extraordinary skills, this is not your fault, we will definitely help you find the high priest, bring him to justice, and make amends for the dead clansmen." ”

Gomba thanked him gratefully, and suddenly remembered that Dai'er had been taken captive by the high priest, and sighed deeply.

"My poor daughter!" He looked up at Luo Qingluan expectantly, trembling his hands and trying to hold her, "Please begging the benefactors to save my daughter again, as long as I can save her back, I am willing to pay all the price!" ”

Luo Qingluan looked at Gongbabu who was lying on the bed in front of him, his face was pale but he looked anxious, and he really understood him in his heart.

Presumably this is what the world often says about the poor hearts of parents in the world!

Even if your health is not good, the safety of your children is the most important thing.

"Patriarch Gongbabu, you can tell us about the specific situation of your Spirit Snake tribe first, if we can help you, we will definitely go all out." Luo Qingluan's humble and arrogant answer fully demonstrated her wisdom, and she agreed to Gongbabu's request.

Gongbabu nodded gratefully, and without hesitation, he began to talk about the situation of the Spirit Snake Tribe: "In fact, at the beginning, the Spirit Snake Tribe was not called the Spirit Snake Tribe. ”

Gongbabu's first sentence made Luo Qingluan and Liang Yuyan a little confused.

"Patriarch, what does it mean that the Spirit Snake Tribe is not called the Spirit Snake Tribe? Could it be that the Spirit Snake Tribe was formed by the merger of several tribes? Liang Yuyan told her understanding and guesses, but Gongbabu shook his head.

"Girl, it's not like this, the Spirit Snake Tribe was not originally named this one, but it was renamed the Spirit Snake Tribe ten years ago, although there is no merger of several tribes as the girl guessed, but in the end, it can be regarded as a catastrophe......

Luo Qingluan sat directly on the chair opposite, listening attentively to Gongbabu's narration, and Liang Yuyan also sat beside her, listening attentively to the story......

"In the very beginning, the Spirit Snake Tribe originally only had one road to the outside world, and this road was full of dangers, and it could almost be regarded as a life of nine deaths. Every year, only the most capable, brave and fearless warriors can break out and exchange the local products of our tribe for some necessities from the outside world. ”

Gongbabu slowly told the way of life of the Spirit Snake Tribe over the years, but this traditional way that has been practiced for many years has now been questioned by Luo Qingluan.

"Patriarch Gongbabu, why didn't you open more roads in the first place, but instead use this dangerous and extremely damaging way to select warriors to connect with the outside world? Wouldn't it be a good idea to create a safe way to connect with the outside world, without compromising the safety of the tribesmen, and at the same time to communicate with the outside world at all times, and at the same time to promote the development of the tribe? ”

Faced with Luo Qingluan's thoughts, Gongbabu laughed, picked up a glass of water next to him, drank it in one gulp, and then told the reason.

"You come from the outside world, so naturally you can't understand the concerns of our small tribes. At that time, it was not as safe as it is now, and you could see the smoke of war all the time. For the sake of the safety of the tribe, it was forced to adopt a closed way to preserve the intact combat effectiveness. Only the people of the tribe can live safely, and the development of the tribe cannot be considered at all. ”

Gombab's explanation fully shows the contradictions and helplessness of the time.

Luo Qingluan thought about it, if at that time, if he was the head of a clan, considering the whole clan, he would probably make the same decision as Gongbabu.

can fully consider the safety of the clansmen and think about the clansmen, this Gongbabu patriarch can indeed convince the people.

Unconsciously, Luo Qingluan looked at Gongbabu's eyes, and there was already something more.

"As you said, since the tribe had decided to retain its strength and isolate itself from the outside world, how did it experience such a catastrophe?"

Gongbabu frowned and shook his head in the face of Luo Qingluan's inquiry, as if he was recalling what happened at that time.

"Thirteen years ago, the priests of the tribe led the warriors of the tribe through the road connecting them with the outside world, exchanging supplies with the outside world, and obtaining a large number of necessities. However, as soon as the priest returned to the tribe, he directly began to retreat and refine medicine. What kind of medicine he was refining, no one knew except himself. ”

At this point, Gongbabu paused, and sighed. Suddenly, Luo Qingluan only felt that he seemed to be much older.

"At first, it wasn't much, the priests often retreated to refine medicines, and I didn't pay too much attention to it. Gradually, however, I realized that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until the guards of the night watch found the corpses of the clansmen, and when I saw them, I realized that all the dead clansmen had died under the venom of the snake. ”

Hearing this, Liang Yuyan couldn't help the doubts in her heart, and said: "As far as I know, the Spirit Snake Tribe is famous for raising snakes, and many of them are raising poisonous snakes, why did those clansmen die under snake venom in the first place?"

Gongbabu shook his head, and there seemed to be some sparkling in his eyes, "I went to the priest to discuss the solution to this matter as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that when I walked into the priest's courtyard, I found out that the priest was secretly feeding the Biling snake, and the people who died were killed by the poison of the Biling snake." ”

"Biling Snake? What kind of divine beast could actually make the clansmen of the Spirit Snake tribe die. ”

In Luo Qingluan's memory, he had never heard of the Biling Snake.

It seems that this trip is really worth it, Luo Qingluan secretly smacked his tongue, feeling that his vision was indeed a little too narrow.

"The Biling Snake is a very ancient beast, this snake is not poisonous anywhere in the body, and its body is small and very flexible. Once bitten by this snake, not to mention the clansmen of my spirit snake tribe, even the gods in the sky, they will definitely not live for a stick of incense! ”

The poison of the Biling snake was so ferocious that Liang Yuyan felt chills all over her body when she heard it, and she couldn't care about any etiquette anymore, so she said directly and loudly: "Is that priest crazy?" Raising this poison! As the patriarch, you should do everything you can to stop it! ”

When Gongbabu heard Liang Yuyan's words, his old face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to look into the eyes of Luo Qingluan and the others.

"I'm ashamed to say that. The priest told me that the spirit snake gall is very valuable, and selling one is equivalent to half a year's hard work of my spirit snake tribe. At the beginning, we were backward and poor here, and I also wanted to improve the situation so that my people could live a good life, so I was so greedy that I believed the lies of the priests. ”

Later, more and more people died, and the priest fed the snake with a living person, completely ignoring the tribe, but Gongbabu thought that he could make the whole clan live a good life, and sacrifice was inevitable, which did not stop him.

One day, he found that the priest was sending a message from a flying pigeon, and he was curious to knock down the flying pigeon and saw the contents of the letter, only to learn that the priest colluded with outside businessmen to make profits, in a vain attempt to get a fief and become king after the fact.

"Now, I can only come to my senses, it turns out that the priest has betrayed the Spirit Snake Tribe a long time ago!"

Luo Qingluan frowned, picked up the tea in his hand and gently brought it to his mouth, took a sip, and said, "After you found out, you should arrest the priest immediately, and it won't happen so much as now."

With a wry smile, a raging fire rose in Gongbabu's eyes, and he said angrily: "When I was about to order the arrest of the priest, the poison in my body had already attacked, and then I knew that the priest had already given me a chronic poison, which was very toxic, if it wasn't for the two girls to come to the rescue, the old man was afraid that he would have been out of this world a long time ago."

While speaking, Gongbabu supported himself with one hand, and was about to get up, Liang Yuyan hurriedly walked to Gongbabu and helped him back to the bed.

"The patriarch doesn't have to care, it's just fate. As you say, it is inevitable that the priests will collude with outside merchants, but even the most powerful merchants will not be able to promise to give fiefs and become kings. I'm afraid that this is not only in collusion with outside businessmen, but also with the royal family. ”

Gombab's eyes were wide open, his face was full of disbelief, and there was something incredible in his words.

"What do you mean, the priests also colluded with the royal family?"

Liang Yuyan nodded lightly, frowned, but said lightly: "Only the royal family can grant fiefs, and only the royal family has the right to be crowned kings, but there are many royal families in the outside world, and I am afraid that even the priests themselves don't know which royal family did it."

Things have developed to such a field, and the situation is gradually becoming clear.

Luo Qingluan stood up thoughtfully, looking at the cloudless sky outside the window, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, she turned around again, looked at Gongbabu and Liang Yuyan, and said her thoughts.

"Now the specific situation is clear, and the most important thing now is to rescue the little princess intact and catch the priest. As long as you catch the priest, the truth will be known. ”

Liang Yuyan nodded, agreed with Luo Qingluan's idea, and began to think hard. Only Gongbabu looked at Luo Qingluan, and said eagerly: "I also hope that the two girls will rescue the little girl intact, no matter what the two girls want, the old man will definitely do it for the two girls when he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire."

Luo Qingluan listened to Gongbabu's words from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but be moved.

"The patriarch doesn't have to be polite, we must do our best. It's just that now, a foolproof plan has to be discussed. ”

Just as everyone was pondering the rescue plan, the sound of the guards outside the house was heard.

"What people! Dare to break into the Spirit Snake Tribe! ”

Luo Qingluan heard the movement outside the house, and hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out, Liang Yuyan didn't dare to relax, and followed closely to the outside of the house.

I saw a swarthy man standing outside the house with his face covered, and after seeing Luo Qingluan and Liang Yuyan, he said, "Where is Luo Qingluan?"
