Chapter 305: Chapter 294: Mysterious Plane 49

The older boy held the jade pendant, noticing that its design somewhat resembled their clan’s emblem, yet it was slightly different. Not understanding it, he handed it over to his grandfather for a look.

The oldest man, after carefully examining the jade pendant, had a glint of shock, disbelief, and elation in his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze toward Yan Mo with a scrutinizing look.

He said something excitedly to Yan Mo, but Yan Mo did not quite understand it.

Realizing from Yan Mo’s puzzled face that he didn’t understand, the older boy translated for him.

"My grandfather is asking where did you get this jade pendant from?"

"It was given to me by an elder." Yan Mo replied following the story fabricated by Xia Yue.

The old man asked another question.

"Do you know what this jade pendant is for?"

"Yes, I do. It was used to guide us here to find someone," Yan Mo replied, his eyes firmly fixed on the old man and his family.

The old man responded.

"My grandfather says, he will take you to Lord Priest. As for what to do next, Lord Priest will let you know,’’ the older boy translated.

"Thank you," Yan Mo nodded with gratitude.

After a brief discussion with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, the old man led his grandsons and Yan Mo’s group back to the village to find Lord Priest.

Their village had a village head, but he was merely an external manager. The real person in charge of the villagers was Lord Priest.

As Yan Mo’s group followed them back onto the road, the two boys gazed at the water buffalo next to Xia Yue with envy. Only three families in their village had a buffalo. Cultivating the fields with a buffalo means faster and easier work.

For families without a buffalo, they had to rely on their physical strength to till the land little by little. After harvesting the crop, they had to carry it home on their own backs.

On their way back to the village, Xia Yue’s group was silent, following Yan Mo’s advice that it was best to speak less in such a closed-off place.

Yan Mo took the opportunity to ask the two boys their names. The older one was Ali, the younger one was Ata, and their grandfather was Gou Ba.

It took them over twenty minutes to reach the entrance to their settlement.

Seeing Gou Ba bringing five strangers, the villagers looked at them with curiosity.

People even came over to ask Gou Ba why he was bringing outsiders to their village, Gou Ba explained to them using their language. Those people looked at Xia Yue and her group with astonished eyes after hearing the explanation.

Upon reaching the far end of the village, they came across a bamboo house similar to those found in the Miao Region, only here the walls were decorated with ancient patterns. Drawings depicted stick figures participating in a large-scale celebration.

Gou Ba signaled Xia Yue and her group to stop in front of the bamboo house, and he ascended the steps to knock on the stone door.

After a while, the stone door opened, revealing a man of considerable age. He was wearing a complicated ethnic costume, had long hair, and a refined appearance. This must be the Lord Priest of their village.

Gou Ba made a respectful bow to him, narrated Yan Mo’s story, and handed over the jade pendant.

The Lord Priest looked at the jade pendant briefly, showed signs of shock, and then with the pendant in hand, retreated back inside his home.

Five minutes later, the Priest hurried out, descending the bamboo house steps with Gou Ba.

"Are you the ones who brought the jade pendant?" the Priest, using fluent Mandarin, asked Xia Yue’s group.

"Yes," Yan Mo nodded.

"Let’s go inside to talk. You all can go back," the Lord Priest stared at Gou Ba and his grandsons for a moment, and then after confirming their serious demeanor, invited them inside and sent Gou Ba’s family away.

Gou Ba and his grandsons complied graciously, departing although curious.

The Priest then led Xia Yue and her group into the bamboo house.
