Putting aside the disturbing future for the time being, Yun Buliu and Xiao Bai were playing around, slowly approaching the Zhenli tribe, which was once one of the six major tribes in the north of the Great Swamp.
After decades of development and growth, without war, human beings have safely transitioned from a gathering and hunting society to a farming society, and the population has reached a period of explosion.
With the emergence and development of the primitive economy, people's lives gradually became more prosperous, and today's six major tribes are no longer what they used to be.
"Is this the Zhenli tribe you are talking about?"
Above the clouds, Xiaobai held Yun Buliu's arm and looked down at the city below. The sky wind picked up her hair and clothes, making her look even more beautiful.
In the city below, there was a bustle of people, busy traffic, and everything was bustling.
Outside the city, streets crisscrossed each other and stretched for an unknown distance, and the scene was prosperous.
Looking at the prosperity of this city, the population must be at least hundreds of thousands.
And there are several cities like this within a radius of thousands of miles around the Zhenli tribe.
Around these cities, there are many villages and towns, guarding these cities like stars over the moon.
The Zhenli tribe once had a population of tens of thousands. After decades of development and growth, the Zhenli tribe now has a population of hundreds of thousands.
This kind of development speed is indeed extremely rapid, somewhat beyond Yun Buliu's imagination.
"Let's go down and have a look!"
Yun Buliu was also a little curious. He hadn't visited those tribes for a long time.
Although a few years ago, he did a big thing for the world and made the world stable for hundreds of years. At that time, his spiritual power connected with the tribal leaders and lifted their alarm. But at that time, he
I am not in the mood to observe these tribes carefully.
At that time, all his thoughts were on practicing in seclusion and preparing to advance to the Hong Realm. Computer version::/
And the leaders of these tribes no longer take the initiative to go to Mr. Yun Buliu.
As they practice for a long time, they clearly feel that as monks, they really don't like to be beaten by others, because their minds are all on practice.
Li Jiu's cultivation level is not low. In the past few decades, he has been on the verge of disaster. If he had not had much confidence in surviving the disaster, he would not have occupied the position of tribal leader and refused to retreat.
In fact, Li Jiu is not the only one who has little confidence in overcoming the catastrophe. The leaders of the six major tribes, as well as the great hunters and guardian gods of the tribes, have actually reached the peak of the heaven realm.
It's just that they are all stuck there.
They had heard of the common knowledge that wild disasters were dangerous and difficult to survive. Both the ancestors of the Splitting Mountain Ape Clan and the ancestors of the Zhenli Tribe’s guardian spirit Snake had mentioned it to them.
The ancestor of the mountain-splitting ape clan is the old ape Yuan Shan, and the ancestor of the spirit snake clan is the old snake demon Shui Jing who has just survived the great calamity.
The Split Mountain Ape Clan and the Tianyan Tribe are very close, not to mention the Spirit Snake Clan and the Zhenli Tribe.
Therefore, they have heard about the disaster to some extent.
Speaking of which, after they heard about the dangers of the heavenly tribulation, they were all frightened. Thunder fell from the sky and struck the human body directly. How could anyone bear it?
During the Autumn Festival, thunder from the sky is common. How can humans resist the power of Heaven?
At that time, they thought of Mr. Yun Buliu. If there is anyone in this world who is not afraid of thunder, it is probably Mr. Yun who can master thunder.
It's just that they don't know that Yun Buliu is not afraid of ordinary sky thunders, but there are still some differences between the tribulation thunders and ordinary sky thunders.
Ordinary thunder is the product of the collision of yin and yang energy, but the power of heavenly tribulation can be superimposed without limit.
If he could really ignore all the thunder, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by the heavenly tribulation when he was crossing the flood realm.
Unless one day he realizes the power of all the laws of thunder and achieves the Avenue of Thunder, then he can truly transform into thunder, merge with the Avenue of Thunder, and become the true Lord of Thunder.
Right now, he has only scratched the surface of Thunder Avenue.
…
"Yun Buliu, do you have money?"
The two of them lowered their cloud heads and walked in Zhenli City. There were no guards at the gates of Zhenli City. Pedestrians could enter and exit at will, and there was no entry tax.
However, the transaction of goods does generate taxes, which is now also the source of income that the leaders and guards of the major tribes rely on for their survival.
Although the shops on both sides can't be said to be dazzling, they are certainly not small. They have all kinds of daily necessities, spiritual supplies, food and drink, not to mention everything you need, but they are certainly quite a lot.
Along the way, Xiaobai realized that if he wanted to get these things, he also needed money.
Yun Buliu's focus is very different from Xiaobai's. Xiaobai's focus is on what is fun, delicious and interesting.
As for Yun Buliu, he was looking at the expressions of these pedestrians and their clothes. From this, he could tell how these people were living.
In Zhenli City, the people's lives seem to be very prosperous. They can feel a sense of satisfaction. Most of their faces are filled with smiles, and they don't feel like they are being tortured by life.
This made Yun Buli feel somewhat relieved, feeling that the efforts he had made in this world had not been wasted.
He didn't know how long such folk customs could be maintained. The reason why such folk customs existed must have something to do with the fact that they had just transitioned from the primitive era not long ago.
The selfish side of human nature has not yet been fully exposed.
But this should only be a matter of time. With the prevalence of private ownership, the shortcomings of selfishness in human nature will become more and more obvious.
Yun Buliu is actually not worried about this, because human nature is like this. Should we let these primitive people continue to live the primitive life they once had just because they don't want to see this?
Humanity will progress sooner or later. The rolling wheel of history will not stop turning because of his personal will, he just speeds up the process.
"Yun Buliu, Yun Buliu, are you listening to me?"
Xiaobai pursed her pink lips and pinched his waist to bring him back to his senses.
Yun Buliu was stunned for a moment, then casually touched Qiankun's belt, took out a handful of coins and handed them to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai took the gold and silver coins and looked at them over and over, and finally said: "How do you have money?"
"Don't forget, I also served as the headmaster of Tiancang Academy." Yun Buliu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Xiao Xiangji's income is probably more than mine!"
After all, Xiao Xiangji has stayed at Tiancang Academy much longer than him!
When he wanted to be lazy, he asked Xiao Xiangji to teach for him.
Yun Buliu didn't ask for those income from substitute lessons from Xiao Xiangji. Anyway, he stayed in the mountains and didn't need to use these things.
"Bragging! Only geniuses can enter Tiancang Academy. How can you be a teacher there at such a young age?"
At this time, a child nearby pointed at Yun Buliu and said loudly angrily, as if Yun Buliu's words had tarnished his imagination of Tiancang Academy.
Hearing this, Yun Buliu and Xiao Bai couldn't help but froze for a moment, and the passers-by on the road couldn't help but look towards them, and then everyone looked at Yun Buliu and Xiao Bai with some surprise.
Because the appearance of Yun Buliu and Xiaobai is actually quite different compared to everyone else.
As for clothing, there is not much difference. After all, linen and silk have long been popular in this world. As long as you have some money on hand, it is not difficult to buy silk.
People didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that they pay attention, they realize the difference.
Yun Buliu found it a bit funny. He didn't expect that one day he would be pointed at the nose by a child of a few years old and said, "brag". Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.
"Humph! You must have been right! Do you want to cover up your embarrassment with laughter? You adults are all like this. You never consider the consequences when you speak big words! Your face hurts!"
Seeing this little guy twisting his head arrogantly, with a proud look on his face, as if he was right, many passers-by started laughing.
But when he looked at Yun Buliu and Xiaobai, there was no mockery in his eyes, but a thoughtful look.
Because of this appearance, there is indeed a big difference from them. Mobile version::
"Sir, it's sir!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the noisy street couldn't help but become quiet.
Sir? Which sir?
Who can directly use the name "Mr." instead of adding a name?
The majestic figure standing in the center of the city immediately appeared in everyone's mind.
"It's really sir, it looks so similar to the statue in the square in front of the city lord's palace."
"Hurry up and report to the Lord of the City that your husband has arrived in Zhenli City. He has really arrived!"
In an instant, the originally quiet street suddenly became noisy again.
It seems that just all of a sudden, the world has entered a sea of joy, and people's faces are filled with sincere and happy smiles, which cannot be faked.
Yun Buliu and Xiaobai: "..."
The two looked at each other speechlessly, but they were somewhat infected by such joy.
Yun Buliu didn't expect that the Zhenli tribe actually erected a statue for him, probably like the one from Tiancang Academy! But unlike the primitive people of those island tribes, although there is a statue of him here, there is no statue of him here.
What faith and willpower.
In other words, although the people here were grateful to him and erected a statue to express their gratitude to him, they were only grateful to him, not a believer.
Not long after, a group of guards in armor came and surrounded Yun Buliu, asking Yun Buliu to follow them to the City Lord's Mansion. This made Yun Buliu feel that it was a bit of a mistake.
If they had changed their appearance before they came, there would not have been such trouble. It is estimated that it won't take long for Li Jiu and the others to get the news and appear in front of him, then greet him respectfully, and then say hello to him.
Please ask some questions about management and practice.
But they are here to have fun, not to inspect.
Speaking of which, he has no right to conduct inspections.
Although these guards surrounded them, Yun Buliu knew clearly that these people were respectful to him and were just afraid that someone would accidentally bump into them.
The former leader of the Zhenli tribe, Li Jiu, suddenly stood up from the throne in the City Lord's Mansion after hearing the information that his subordinates came to report.
Not long after, Yun Buliu met this one of the six tribal leaders whom he had not seen for many years.
Although I have a spiritual connection with these tribal leaders, it has indeed been more than ten years since I met them!
Yun Buliu could tell at a glance Li Jiu's current level of cultivation. He didn't look old. He still looked like a man in his prime, but there were more wrinkles on his face.
"Chief Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look the same as before!"
"It's really sir!" Li Jiu was a little excited. There were many people standing behind him. Some of them were familiar faces, but most of them were unfamiliar faces.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Your demeanor is even better than before!"
Li Jiu suppressed his excitement and led everyone to salute Yun Buliu. Their etiquette was not complicated, they just beat their chests and lowered their heads to show respect.
"Sir, please come forward!"
After the ceremony, Li Jiu invited Yun Buliu to go to the city lord's mansion.
"Sir, what do you think of our Zhenli City?" Li Jiu asked proudly on the way.
Yun Buliu smiled and said: "You did a good job, you manage it well."
Li Jiu touched the big beard under his chin and said with a laugh: "What kind of management skills do I have? It's just that my incompetent son has learned a few things in the academy..."
Yun Buliu estimated that the incompetent son he was talking about must be the Li Jiu who was the first to learn from him.
Li Jiu also got married and had children long ago, and he is probably a grandfather now!
Yun Buliu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that decades later, the tribe that once had a population of tens of thousands has now grown to this size. How many people do your tribe have now?"
Li Jiu smiled and said: "The total population of our Zhenli tribe exceeded 780,000 last year, and I believe it can increase by tens of thousands more this year."
"Sure enough, there are so many!" Yun Buliu couldn't help but sigh. Although the reproduction speed of humans is not as fast as that of some animals, this speed is not too slow.
Li Jiuxiao said: "Since there are no wars or diseases as mentioned by Mr., there are no worries about food, and the threat of wild beasts is no longer a threat, we usually have nothing to do except create humans.
what?"
Hearing this, Yun Buliu couldn't help but laugh.
That’s right!
In the absence of other entertainment, there really is nothing else to do at night except making people.
In recent days, isn't it the same for him and Xiaobai when they eat the marrow and know the taste?
They were like those newlyweds who would make out whenever they had the chance.
There is really no need to consider war at the moment, because the world is very big and the population is very small. There will never be a shortage of land. As long as you have the strength, you can just open up wasteland.
Regarding diseases, after those students who studied in the medical department of the college graduate, most diseases are no longer a problem for people.
Moreover, there are no diseases that can spread over large areas, so they pose no threat to these primitive people.
Those ferocious beasts that can be tamed have been tamed, and those that cannot be tamed have been killed. Since the beginning of national practice, humankind's strength has expanded rapidly.
Those ferocious beasts are no longer a threat to people.
Not to mention food. As I said before, the world is very big. As long as you have the strength to open up wasteland, you can manage enough land.
Think about the ancient Chinese tribes in the global village. The land of tens of millions of square kilometers can support tens of millions of people. What does it mean to support millions of people on this piece of land?
This land is countless times larger than China!
After the discovery of wheat and rice, without war, food was no longer a threat to everyone.
Without war, indeed everything would be fine.
If there is a war, all this beauty will become a dream.
Yun Buliu couldn't imagine what the world would look like in a few hundred years if it continued to develop at this rate.
Looking at the cement floor on the road and the brick houses on both sides of the road, Yun Buliu sighed secretly.
No one who comes to this world will believe that a few decades ago, this society was still a primitive gathering and hunting society!
I brought this beauty, how should I keep it?
Yun Buliu once again couldn't help but think of the problems he would face in a few hundred years.
But soon, he shook his head secretly and put this worry out of his mind temporarily. After thinking about it for several years, he couldn't come up with an answer, and there was no point in continuing to think about it.
Not long after, Yun Buliu and Xiaobai were brought to the city lord's mansion.
The city's main seat is located in the center of Zhenli City. It is a newly built brick building. In front of the palace is a huge square, which is used to gather guards to protect the city.
In the center of this square, stands a huge statue. This statue looks like Yun Buliu. They use this way to commemorate Yun Buliu's contribution to them.
They don't have to know who Yun Buliu is, but they must know what kind of changes Yun Buliu has brought to their lives.
However, the fact is that everyone who knows these changes will be familiar with the deeds of the legendary Mr. Yun Buliu.
The first person to discover rice; the first person to teach everyone how to use tools for planting; the first mountain leader to establish a college to teach everyone how to practice; the first...
Too many firsts created his legendary life.
But in fact, all those who have achieved some success in spiritual practice know that this gentleman's legend is not over, because the life span of a practitioner is not short.
For example, their city lord is now over a hundred years old.
But his appearance looks no different from that of a middle-aged man, only more mature and more vicissitudes of life. But in fact, he is already a great-grandfather level existence.
In other words, he has been living under the same roof for five generations.
According to this situation, it is not difficult for six generations and seven generations to taste it together.
For a practitioner, as long as he can survive the disaster, it is not a strange thing for more than ten generations to live together.
After asking some questions about the development of the 'tribe', Li Jiu asked Yun Buliu for advice on spiritual practice, mainly how to overcome the disaster.
"Currently, many people in all major tribes are facing this problem, but everyone has little confidence in the natural disaster. Basically, they have stopped here."
Yun Buliu was not surprised by this, because they were all converted from warriors, and their bodies actually had defects of one kind or another.
Although their cultivation level is not low...because their original cultivation level is already not low.
Originally, their martial arts were already at the heaven level. After so many years of transformation, they are still at this level, but much stronger than before, especially since their life span has been maintained.
If they had continued to practice martial arts as they did back then, their body's energy and blood would have begun to fail long ago, and they would have become old.
But after so many years of tinkering, their physical defects still cannot be repaired.
In this case, if they forcefully overcome the tribulation, there will only be one outcome.
Yun Buliu smiled and said: "The most important thing in practice is confidence, the courage to move forward, and the perseverance. All of them are indispensable. If you are worried about the heavenly tribulation, it means you are not ready yet."
When Li Jiu heard this, he could only smile bitterly. They naturally understood the truth. After all, practicing martial arts would definitely be impossible without courage and perseverance.
The fact that they can cultivate to this level in martial arts means that they do not lack these, and their talent is no worse than anyone else.
Although they have gained a lot of benefits by converting to the path of immortality, they are gradually being overtaken by some young people. They cannot help but be in a hurry, mainly because they are afraid of losing face.
Yun Buliu felt that losing face was a given, and it would become more and more embarrassing in the future.
As the immortal civilization develops and the civilization gradually becomes more prosperous, there will definitely be more and more practicing geniuses, and it will certainly be common for seniors to be overtaken by younger generations.
If you cannot accept this, you will definitely not be able to go far in your spiritual practice.
Yun Buliu thought for a moment and said: "I just came back from the great swamp in the south. Mr. Shui Jing, the ancestor of the spirit snake over there, should be the ancestor of your tribe's guardian spirit snake!"
Li Jiu nodded slightly, and Yun Buliu continued: "Ancestor Spirit Snake has just overcome the tribulation..."
"Overcoming the tribulation? Hasn't he already... Sir, he means that he has, already..."
"That's right! He is already at the Hong level." Yun Buliu confirmed Li Jiu's guess, and then continued: "I helped him design a formation to decompose the sky thunder, which helped him reduce the power of the thunder.
, so that he can survive the catastrophe safely. If you are not afraid of danger, I can help you design a formation like this, but..."
"Sir, do you have any requirements? If we can do it, we will go through fire and water!"
Yun Buliu glanced at the man, waved his hand and said, "I do this without asking for anything in return..."
Li Jiu slapped the rude guy in the face, and said with a snort: "The heart of a villain will judge the heart of a gentleman! If sir asked for something in return, there would be no such prosperous age as it is today. Sir, is there any difficulty in this?"
?”
Yun Buliu nodded and said: "Even if I can help you reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation, it is still extremely dangerous to overcome the tribulation. How to choose depends on everyone."
After a pause, he added: "If it was impossible to survive a catastrophe in the past, then even if I help reduce the risk, it would still be impossible and extremely dangerous."
Li Jiu nodded and said: "Sir, I understand your worries. But I think that as long as there is a chance, no one will give up easily!"
