"Who, that old-sacred tree?" The strange stone subconsciously answered, but he quickly reacted and did not call the broken willow an old willow in person, but changed the name, "Of course it is still alive.
How could it not be alive?"
"Are you still alive?" Di Yi didn't really understand the state of the broken willow tree. After getting the answer, he had an idea.
Of course, although according to the strange stone, this broken willow tree is still alive, it seems that its condition is not very good. After all, its whole body is scorched black, and even if it is alive, it is probably just hanging on.
"Okay, I left the note and explained the matter. I'll leave if nothing happens." After saying that, the strange stone flew up impatiently and disappeared into the stone village in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the vast mountains.
This time Di Yi did not capture it again. After all, the goal was achieved, and where it went was none of his business.
Then he glanced at the charred broken willow, stopped looking at it, and chose a relatively clean place to sit down, and it was quiet and silent.
It was night, when everything had calmed down, and when the mountain torrents were no longer so turbulent and flowing quietly, the entire wilderness seemed to have regained its vitality. Countless fleeing beasts returned one after another, and the oppressive atmosphere disappeared.
Of course, although the oppressive atmosphere dissipated, the big guys in the wilderness were still quite honest. They were frightened, and the violent storm scene gave them an indelible experience.
Who dares to show his face at this time?
The power of that sky-high willow tree can be vividly remembered, and based on their past experience, they can be compared to others. After being injured, they will definitely look for great supplements to nourish themselves. No one wants to become that big resentment that never rests in peace.
Unknowingly, the dark veil of the deep night receded, and the morning sun peeked out from the sky. The morning glow was brilliant, falling like broken gold.
The sun rises, everything begins, and a new day quietly arrives.
One after another, people in Shicun woke up from their sleep, awakened by the warm temperature, and began to welcome a new day.
"You... stayed out all night?" The old patriarch came to the village first. He originally wanted to pray as usual, but after seeing Di Yi looking up at the sun, he was inexplicably shocked.
There was no way around it, there was too much noise last night, as if the end of the world was coming, lightning, thunder, and violent storms frightened him. In such an environment, who would dare to be exposed without any panic.
The guest in front of him may be more powerful than he thought.
"The rain last night was unusual. I want to take a look." Di Yi nodded, then pointed to the writing on the altar, "By the way, something happened last night. I don't know if it was good or bad for you."
"Something happened last night?" The old patriarch was mentally prepared for this. After all, the movement last night was the only one he had ever seen in his life.
But when he saw the writing on the altar, he was stunned. He couldn't believe it and felt that everything was unreal.
The sacrificial spirit actually left!
"This..." The old patriarch was stunned and his eyes darkened. He quickly calmed down and read the notes left behind carefully.
"It feels that Stone Village needs to make changes, and it thinks that the arrival of this broken willow tree may be an opportunity." Di Yi explained on the side, helping the old patriarch understand the purpose of the strange stone.
Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to be misunderstood, and he doesn't want to be thought that this happened because of him.
"Liu... God...?" No matter how hard it was for the old patriarch to accept it, he had to accept the reality and accept the arrangement of offering sacrifices to the spirits.
However, although he accepted the fact, he could not adjust his mentality quickly after all. After all, the original sacrificial spirit of Shicun had been in Shicun for many years and had been guarding Shicun since his ancestors.
He always felt a little empty.
Soon, the news of the departure of Shicun's memorial spirit and the replacement of a new one spread to the whole village. Everyone's mood was different and they couldn't believe that such a big event happened in just one night.
"Quiet, this is an arrangement for worshiping the spirit. The spirit must have a motive for doing this..." The old patriarch is worthy of being an old patriarch. With a big talk, he quickly calmed down the emotions of everyone in Shicun and made everyone in Shicun feel calm.
They accept the reality of the replacement of sacrificial spirits.
But this is a big deal after all. Although everyone in Stone Village has to accept the status quo, it will not happen overnight for them to truly accept the broken willow as the new sacrificial spirit.
It takes time to transition.
"Okay, this matter has been decided. Let's all disperse. Although the sacrifice spirit has left us, we cannot stop and need to move forward." The old patriarch motioned to everyone in Shicun to disperse and do what they originally wanted to do.
matter.
After hearing this, the young and middle-aged people in Shicun gradually dispersed and continued what they had originally planned to do. Only a few children and old people with nothing to do were left in the huge village.
For the people of Shicun, the departure of the deceased is a big event, but life is even more important. If you want to survive in this cruel wilderness, every day is precious, and you cannot always be sad.
.
"Okay, although the sacrificial spirit has left, we are not without new sacrificial spirits to take over. It's time for you skinny monkeys to work hard and do your morning lessons." A middle-aged man with a body as strong as a tiger and leopard stood up and led the group.
The children who had not left lined up in a line and began to lecture.
"What are they doing?" Di Yi looked at the children, who ranged in age from four or five to teenagers. They were standing at the head of the village facing the rising sun, gesturing with their fists and kicks in style.
"Exercise, strengthen muscles and bones, activate blood and strengthen muscles. This is a compulsory course for them. Only by exercising their bodies can they have the capital to survive in this vast mountain range." The old patriarch explained, his eyes scanning each child,
This is their hope for the future of Stone Village.
The living environment in the wilderness is harsh, and there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. For food and survival, working out early in the morning and strengthening one's body are habits that everyone needs to develop since childhood.
After all, if you are not physically strong enough, how can you fight with the beasts in the wilderness? You will only become food for the beasts and die young in this vast wilderness.
"Does exercise, strengthening the muscles and bones, activating the blood and refining the muscles, have a great effect?" Di Yi's eyes lit up, it seemed to be useful to him.
"It's very useful." The old patriarch nodded, but quickly added, "Of course, this is relative to us in Shicun. You, our guest, are from outside the wilderness, and our training methods are far from comparable to those outside the wilderness."
"As long as it has an effect, can such exercise strengthen the muscles and bones, activate blood and strengthen the muscles..." Di Yi didn't pay attention to the last part of the old patriarch's words, got up and walked to the group of children, and started gesticulating with them.
"Calm down!"
As Di Yi joined in, the children became curious and their movements slowed down.
However, they were soon stopped by the middle-aged man who was responsible for supervising and guiding the exercise. Under the stern shout, they resumed exercising seriously and vigorously facing the rising sun.
"It seems to have some effect..." Di Yi carefully re-enacted the movements. His movements were like thunder, his blood became active, and each cycle of movements revealed a different meaning.
