"The mountains are covered with darkness, the rotten grass turns into fireflies, the broken bamboos are replaced by new ones, and the bells and stones change their voices."
Towering mountains, dense woods, flying birds, and dogs squatting and whimpering at their feet. Of course, there are also the tribesmen who are watching?
"Wake up, wake up!"
"It's been ten days, God has mercy on me, Akagata."
An old man burst into tears, and the surrounding tribesmen also wept with joy.
Yu Zai woke up and opened her eyes. The voices she heard were those of the "tribesmen", but what she saw was a pair of eyes full of contempt.
A goat?
Yu Zai blinked, and the goat was also grabbed and pushed away by the old patriarch.
"Who brought the 'Lamb'! What kind of trouble are you making? Isn't this nonsense!"
The goat named Lao Zi was scolded and taken out by the tribesmen.
Yu Zai scratched it with his hand, and the touch on his palm told him that he was lying on two or three layers of fur.
He sorted out his tumbling memories, and his self-understanding gradually recovered.
Then, like lightning flashing across the mind, large tracts of other memories began to pour into the cognition.
That is the knowledge of witches, inherited from the dead old witches of the previous generation.
"I'm Zai?"
Yunxu? Juzai? The last one is his new name!
"Zai" means "bearing", and it also means "year" and "year". Xia means Sui, Shang means Si, Zhou means Nian, and Tang and Yu say Zai.
"era"
Ruanzai exhaled hard, and he sat up with support. While sorting out his memories, he subconsciously murmured to himself. The old patriarch helped him up, and his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After falling into the copper-uranium mica pit, he did not die. After the bright light swallowed him,
Time traveled!
Yes, I have traveled through an era where Shinto was still alive and mountains and seas were majestic!
"The sixty-sixth year of Tao Tang, the Emperor of Time!"
"Emperor Zhuanxu has been able to connect heaven and earth for two hundred years!"
This is the era of the Five Emperors!
With the inherited memory in his mind, Yu Zai can know that this world is not a world of ancient times, but closer to the ancient times in the original history. In this world, there are truly gods, emperors, mountains and seas, and strange beasts.
There is a law, there is a person who controls the heaven and earth and rides the wind and thunder!
And he is no longer a good young man in the new era. As the apprentice of the old witch from the previous generation in the tribe, he is also the youngest and the only remaining witch with the blood of the gods!
The Chifang clan, Ju Zai. A descendant of the Zhu Rong clan, a branch of the Jinyun clan!
But looking back, the relationship between ancestors has been very weak, and only this so-called name is left.
Zai straightened up and sat cross-legged. His childish face was different from the others. The blood of the god made his face unstained by wind and frost. He remembered that they had forcibly crossed the river and crossed the deep mountains to come to this vast land.
In Daye, many people have died on the road due to the humidity and heat in the south and the difficulty of walking on the mountain road.
But after the tribe crossed the river, he began to fall ill, developed a fever that would not go away, and fell into a coma and was on the verge of death.
The migration of the tribe is not over yet. According to the guidelines left by the old witch before his death, the migration is still continuing!
After the divination, they were asked to arrive at the southern part of Lianzhize, and they were almost there now.
But it was a coincidence that not long after their tribes joined forces and swam across the river, the Xunshan clan's envoy happened to meet them.
They came from the Xunshan area, so the Chifang family waited at the foot of the Xunshan Mountain for a few days until they received a response from the Xunshan family.
"The land south of Yanzhize belongs to you."
This was the answer from the Xunshan clan. Although it seemed that he just wanted to drive them away, it happened to coincide with the old witch's divination. Therefore, the old clan leader gave an order to all the clan members, and they must go as far as possible.
South of Lanzhize.
Yuan Zai sorted out the memories in his mind. Although he had just been interrupted by Lambo, Yuan Zai quickly accepted his new identity. He had no free time to think about the problems before his time travel. After all, there were too many unexplainable things in the world.
, and one more thing, that is, there are more important things now.
Because many people in this simple animal skin shed, including the old patriarch, were looking at him eagerly.
He is the new shaman and the backbone of the tribe.
"After crossing the river, how many tribesmen are left?"
"There are still 1,300 people. Excluding the old, weak and strong, there are only 400."
The old patriarch looked respectful and did not hide his sadness.
When swimming across the river, the few remaining high-ranking warriors in the tribe tried their best to resist the turbulent water of the river, and sent all the young tribesmen, as well as women, old and young, across the shore, and they were captured by the magical goddess of the river.
He accepted her and turned into a dead soul sinking in the river.
The Chifang clan, who had lost the blessing of the gods, really had no choice. They threw themselves into the street during the war with the Longdi clan, and then the whole family fled here from the "Central Plains". They had nothing left, the old witch passed away on the way, and
The only remaining one, Yu Zai, who had the blood of a god and a human, was elected as the new witch.
But Yuzai was too young, and he did not awaken the power of the gods before the old witch died. The shaman is the one who communicates with the gods, reaching up to the sky and down to the earth. The old witch's witchcraft is to tame the beasts to drive them, and comes from Jinyun
The inheritance of the family.
But after all, Zanzai is the only child in the Akakata family who still has the blood of a god, so he must serve as the new wizard.
In this era, the destruction of tribes is common. They fight against each other and attack to compete for limited resources. The loser will either be merged into the tribe of the victor, or risk his life and become the beast around him.
Due to the horror of blood-eating, they migrated far away.
This has been followed since ancient times. When Emperor Zhuanxu defeated the Shaohao clan, Emperor Bai moved westward from Dongyi and exiled himself, thus bringing the totem of thousands of birds to the west.
Yu Zai digested all the inherited memories. At this time, the noise outside also came in clearly because of the silence inside.
"Clan leader, what's going on?"
Yu Zai asked the old clan leader. The old clan leader took a few breaths and seemed to be suppressing something. He said to Yu Zai: "They are people from the Tonghong clan. They have often come to harass me these days. They bully my tribe and ask us to hand over food."
.”
The old patriarch pointed outside: "This place is from Xunshan Mountain to Chaisang Mountain, on the edge of the Yanzhize River. It is governed by the Xunshan Shen clan and the Chaisang Shen clan. This Cao Hong clan claims to be a subordinate of the Xunshan Shen clan, and it is time to pay tribute to the Xunshan god.
Food, and the chief priest is Gao Shishi."
"The Tong Hong family deceived us into thinking that we were a clan that had fled from the Central Plains. They asked us to pay grain for unreasonable reasons. In their words, they said it was 'tribute'."
"But if you really want to pay tribute to the Mountain God Tribe, that's fine. It's just that I, the Akafang clan, only have more than 200 shi left in food. The food rations for the people in the tribe are not enough for sixty days. The food that is being paid as tribute, this is
Tong Hong will ask for thousands of stones if he opens his mouth!"
"I, the Chifang clan, used to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods of the Central Plains, but I could only hand over a hundred shi of grain a year. The Hong clan asked me for a thousand shi. Could it be that all the gods of the southern mountain system are so greedy? They paid ten times as much?"
Okay, this is tantamount to open robbery. Yu Zai's memory also told him that if food is needed to sacrifice to the mountain god and serve his tribe, then it will not exceed a hundred stones at most. Even if he takes two or three steps back, the thousand stones will not be enough.
normal.
This is enough food for a tribe of hundreds of thousands of people from one to three months. If all tribes have to pay this thousand stones of food, that is to say, the small tribes will have to drink from the northwest wind for two to three months, and relying on hunting is
There is not enough to feed everyone, so it is impossible for thousands of stones of grain to be used for sacrifices.
The inherited memory told Yu Zai that the grain measurement units and conversions in this world are similar to the weights and measures in the history of the previous life from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Therefore, the units of the Qin and Han Dynasties can be applied and converted into the modern units of the previous life. From this, we can conclude
Accurate results.
Yu Zai breathed out: "Oh, they don't want to hand over the food, so they came to rob us because we are weak and easy to bully."
"It's true that a dragon is tricked by a shrimp when traveling in the shallows, and a tiger is bullied by a dog when it falls on the plain!"
"The Chifang clan is a descendant of the Zhu Rong clan and a branch of the Jinyun clan. Although it was not a big clan in the Central Plains back then, it was still a very powerful mid-level tribe, with a population of 30,000 at its peak."
"This small tribe in the southern mountain system actually bullied us."
The old patriarch smiled bitterly: "The rules of the mountains and seas are that the weak are humble and the strong are prosperous. The glory of the past has passed."
He explained to Yu Zai: "Xun Mountain belongs to one of the second series of mountains in the south. These two mountains in the south, from Aishan to Qiwu Mountain, there are a total of seventeen mountains with gods. The total length of the seventeen mountains is
For more than 7,200 miles, all the mountain gods have the body of a dragon and the head of a bird. Their sacrifice is to bury livestock and poultry in the ground together with jade, and select rice and millet for the mountain gods to enjoy."
Seven thousand two hundred miles, or eight thousand miles, the distance is about as far as from Lhasa to Nanchang.
The old patriarch brought a bone box with a piece of dirty jade in the shape of a sheep's head.
"This is the witch's jade. It can go up to the sky to listen to the gods. It is also the most precious treasure of the tribe."
The old patriarch patted Yu Zai and said: "Witch, you have just woken up from a long illness. You need to take a good rest. When the Tong Hong family comes, I will deal with it. You have not awakened your divine bloodline and cannot use witchcraft. Wait until you can
I have used witchcraft and become stronger. Let’s fight for this breath again.”
The old patriarch is not worried about Sun Zai going out. In his eyes, the Akafang clan's last hope right now is Sun Zai.
He is the only apprentice of the witch, and not everyone can be the apprentice of the witch. He must have the blood of a god, or the blood of a god and a return to his ancestors. Since Emperor Zhuanxu destroyed the world, all the people stranded in the world have been
The gods could no longer leave any bloodline, and after they perished one after another, they had to let the gods take over their rights as gods of mountains, seas, rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere.
Therefore, in this era, the "mountain god" is often called, but in the current situation, it seems that he should be a wizard wearing a bird feather costume, antlers and snake bones, and having extremely strong blood of gods and humans. No, such a wizard
, is also a direct descendant of the ancient Xunshan God, maybe his son or something, so it cannot be said that he is a complete human being.
Therefore, it is often called the God of Xun Mountain.
Ruzai took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and bursts of light began to appear in his eyes like a fleeting sight.
Copper, uranium, mica, cold mist, deuterium? Super heavy hydrogen?
It seems that my luck is better. Maybe the previous "Concubine" did not awaken, but now
It was relatively dark inside the simple shed. There was also light rain today and the weather was not good. The old patriarch stopped and was illuminated by the light from behind. At this time, he turned around in shock.
In the palm of Yu Zai's hand, as the will in his heart rolled, a point seemed to appear. The surrounding wind and air converged towards that point of light, and then the blazing temperature and bright light were born at that point.
It's just that this point seems unstable. When it boils, it looks like a constantly twisting flame.
Yu Zai's attention was very focused. The old patriarch stood in front of the leather shed for a long time without moving. He was dumbfounded. However, Yu Zai looked a little serious and finally raised his head and looked at the old patriarch:
