The woman in the gauze skirt nodded silently and responded to Yue Guanchao's guess.
"What is this place?"
Yue Guanchao had to be vigilant to avoid another lucid dream.
"Don't worry, this is my witchcraft dream. I will let you out when I finish saying what I want to say."
"What do you want to say? What do you want to tell me? Who are you...? Why do Ying and you look exactly the same."
Yue Guanchao had a series of questions in his mind that he wanted to ask the last high priest of the Sushen tribe.
At first, he thought it was the corpse figurines who had captured Ah Ying, but in fact it was Tang Dianrong who was causing trouble. Their purpose in capturing Ah Ying was probably not just to threaten him.
When he saw Wu Beimi's body, sparks instantly exploded in his mind, and his thoughts finally came through:
This group of people may have already known that A-ying has a special status, so they adopted her. The purpose may be to become the high priest in the underworld!
However, there was one thing that puzzled him. What was Aying's identity? Now that he saw her in his dream, he had to ask clearly.
"She is your daughter? Right?"
Yue Guanchao could only guess that the high priest in the coffin was in his forties or fifties and looked like she could be Aying's mother. If Aying was her daughter, it would make sense.
Wu Beimi shook his head and his eyes became sad: "No, I have never given birth to a child in my life. She is not my daughter."
"Then who is she?" Yue Guanchao's eyes widened, eager to know Aying's identity.
Wu Beimi's expression became extremely serious, and he said slowly: "You two are actually part of my soul, the children I transformed into by stripping away the remaining good thoughts!"
"So Aying and I are actually brother and sister?"
When Yue Guanchao heard the news, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He had already made a guess about Aying's life experience, but he didn't expect that the truth was even stranger than he expected.
He had never thought that he had a sister in the far north. When he thought about it, he was unwilling to believe what Wu Beimi said:
"Are you kidding? I remember my second uncle said that my parents also died in Witch Coffin Town. I am an abandoned baby he brought back in the ice and snow. How could it be your kind thoughts?"
Wu Beimi looked at Yue Guanchao with sad eyes: "Believe it or not, it all depends on yourself."
After they finished speaking, the stone slabs under their feet cracked, and a seed quickly sprouted and grew leaves, growing into a towering pine. In the blink of an eye, the pavilions were like a canopy.
"Come, this tree will tell you everything."
Yue Guanchao didn't believe this statement at first, but the temptation of the truth was too great for him. Since he knew that he and Aying were brothers and sisters, of course he had to figure out the fate.
He stabilized his mind and placed his palms on the trunk of the tree together with Wu Beimi. Then, he felt a pain in his palm, as if there were vines digging into his flesh. His brain suddenly felt pain. When he regained consciousness, his brain was obviously much better. An image he had never experienced before.
The powerful mental power generated by this image had the tendency to absorb all his memories. Yue Guanchao endured the strong mental power, carefully explored the images in his mind, and began to relive the disaster in Wu Coffin Town twenty-five years ago from Wu Beimi's perspective. .
In his memory, Wu Coffin Town clearly looked like a pre-disaster scene. The people lived in peace and harmony, and it looked like a paradise. It was exactly the same as what he saw at the Sinking Platform.
However, all this ceased to exist after Tang Dianrong arrived.
About twenty-five years ago, Tang Dianrong took advantage of the previous dynasty's resistance to Tsarist Russia and brought his 1,200 bandits to Wu Coffin Town.
Tang Dianrong had been an official in the yamen and knew how to draw up official votes. In order to gain the trust of the people in Wu Coffin Town, he used his status in Tuanlian Xinying to forge a protection order from the previous dynasty's royal family, claiming that he had obtained the order from the previous dynasty. He came here to guard the border and successfully deceived the people of Wu Coffin Town.
The elders of Wu Coffin Town could not find any omissions, so they could only treat them as border guards and entertain them.
Wu Beimi was the high priest of the Sushen tribe at the time. Although she had doubts about Tang Dianrong and his party, she did not find any problems. She was gradually confused by the illusion created by Tang Dianrong for them!
One month later, the people of Wu Coffin Town held a three-day Nuo dance party to entertain the newly arrived border guards.
Wu Beimi didn't expect that Wu Coffin Town's misfortune would begin right here!
At this Nuo dance party, Wu Beimi's sister Wu Yueniang met Tang Dianrong's adjutant Zhong Liangsheng for the first time. At that time, Zhong Liangsheng had a handsome face and a tall figure. He was indeed very popular. In addition, he deliberately interacted with Wu Yueniang's eyebrows flashed back and forth, and the two of them secretly had feelings for each other.
Over time, Wu Yueniang had the idea of getting married, but Wu Coffin Town had its own clan rules. In order to protect the purity of the Sushen clan's blood, Sushen clan women were not allowed to marry outside the family. Once they married outside, they would be executed according to the clan rules.
This rule alone would directly cut off the marriage between Wu Yueniang and Zhong Liangsheng!
At this time, Wu Yueniang was in her 28th year, and her desire for love was stronger than anyone else. She found her sister Wu Beimi and wanted to persuade Wu Beimi to let her leave the Sushen Department to pursue her own happiness.
Of course this won't work!
Wu Beimi is not only Wu Yueniang's sister, she is also the high priest of the Sushen tribe. Once she breaks the iron rules of the tribe, she will definitely be punished by the ancient gods.
Moreover, Zhong Liangsheng is a foreigner after all. He knows nothing about his surname, identity, parents, and place of origin. He doesn't know whether he is a criminal or not.
Regardless of the clan rules or the care of her eldest sister, she could not let her sister play such a childish marriage, so she sternly rejected her sister's request and warned her to stay away from Zhong Liangsheng.
