Chapter 208: Outstanding people in the world, only
It rains suddenly in mid-spring, and thunder strikes in the east.
In the sixty-seventh year of Emperor Tao and Tang Dynasty, it was another spring equinox.
In the mid-spring month, the yang is due east and the yin is due west, which is called the vernal equinox. At the vernal equinox, yin and yang are half-phase, so the day and night are even and the cold and heat are equal. In the Central Plains, people also plant fireweed on their houses. There are birds like crows,
The rooster crows first and sets up a grid. The people wait for this bird and then go into the fields, thinking that
Waiting for the vernal equinox, make wine, mix vinegar, and transplant flowers and trees.
But now, the wine vinegar sauce is still being brewed, and it will take at least half a year to be completed.
Spring plowing has really begun, and all the basic preparations that need to be made have been completed. This year, we are fully prepared. We are no longer competing with the sky, people, earth, and water for time and years like last year.
This year, we are well prepared.
This year, floods must be eliminated.
Therefore, rice, taro, green bean can be found in fertile soil thousands of miles away.
"It's been a whole year."
At this time, Yuanzai felt quite emotional. It had been a whole year since he had traveled from the distant Central Plains to the Nanqiu in the south, and he had set foot in this barren mountain wilderness. The recovery of fire and tree species, and what Yuanzai had promised to his tribe, had been fully accomplished.
But it's a pity that Ruzai himself can't participate in the spring plowing of the second year.
At this time, in Mangmanzhiye, I heard that the people sent by the Xunshan clan to collect materials would be back soon. Ruanzai gave instructions on how to make the Xunshan ox cart, so they took the vehicle and started from the flatter area on the edge of the river.
When setting off, try to take the valley path and the shore instead of walking through the mountains.
In the production of bed crossbows, ten models were tested. Except for the test model made by Chaogishi, which was slightly better, the power and range of the others were not much different from Akakata's prototype bed crossbow.
Moreover, during the process, the crossbow string and crossbow arm were broken several times. This was due to problems with the materials.
However, upgrading from original woodworking to woodworking machines is inherently accompanied by many uncontrollable factors and risks.
Nothing is easy.
And Danzhu began to think about the "one small step" that Yu Zai said.
That's the super huge crane.
After all, those who can reach the level of totem warriors are still a minority in the tribe. Some people cannot awaken for many years, while some can awaken in one go. This comes from bloodline and stimulation from the outside world.
"At critical moments, totems are most likely to respond to people's calls. Anger and joy are both ways to awaken totems. People's totems come from ancient worship. In the beginning, they were usually made of all the unknown things visible to the naked eye in the mountains and seas.
, and creatures stronger than humans as totems."
"This is how the earliest gods were born."
Yu Zai heard a voice behind him, so he turned around, and what came into Yu Zai's eyes was a man covered in bird feathers, with bird bones hanging around his neck, and wearing a green animal robe.
"Are you the Akakata clan's shaman?"
Yuanzai felt that the person in front of him had the same and similar "aura" as his own. After practicing with Chi Songzi for a year, Yuanzai had reached the point where he could tell what level the other person was as soon as they met.
degree.
"The Great Wizard."
There is no doubt that the visitor is the great wizard of the Xunshan clan.
That is, the "son" of "Xunshan God"!
"It does have divine power. People say that the great wizard of the Xunshan clan was inspired by the god of Xunshan. Therefore, the great wizard of Xunshan does not have a father in the human sense. He himself was transformed by the power of the god of Xunshan. You can also see that
Doing is part of the spirit of God”
Of course, this is the "rumor" of the Gao Shi family. In fact, in this era, the Gao Shi family in charge of sacrifices said this, so the credibility is still very high.
After all, the high priest of the Gaoshi clan is responsible for acting as the chief priest of the Xunshan area, so what he says cannot be groundless.
The great wizard stared at Yu Zai for a few times and said, "You are so young. You became a wizard at such a young age and you can still convince the crowd. Judging from your performance this year, you are indeed good enough to be the leader of the tribe."
Yu Zai was a little surprised.
"Will the great wizard also pay attention to the little people below?"
Yu Zai asked respectfully, and the great wizard laughed.
"You are not a small person. Ji Chi often complains to me, saying that the fleeing tribe in Nanqiu has started to create something new, but it is very useful and not bad."
"Small carts and ox carts told Shi and me that you made the envoys of Tao and Tang feel ashamed that the South had surpassed the Central Plains. Although you are also from the Central Plains, you are now a Southerner."
Yu Zai felt that there was something interesting in these words, and soon came up with a guess.
"The great wizard is asking if he wants to settle down?"
Yu Zai appeared "cautious" in front of him, which is how she should behave. After all, she was facing the top leader of the local government (provincial level).
You have to put on some pretense, otherwise it will be too crazy and people will inevitably dislike it. Everything that needs to be implemented now requires Xunshan’s approval and establishing a good relationship with Xunshan. This is something Ruzai has been doing for a long time.
"Well, you are very smart."
The great wizard gave Yuzai a look of admiration. Such smart children are rare nowadays.
You can stay and settle down and have in-depth exchanges with everyone...
Why go back to the Central Plains again?
"We can't leave for now."
Yu Zai answered like this, and the great wizard was a little dissatisfied.
"Temporarily? How long? I heard that you are planning to turn the south into a wilderness of heaven?"
"This will take at least ten years, ten years, the growth of a generation. So for you, the so-called temporary means leaving within three generations?"
"When the second and third generation of children grow up here, they regard the South as their ancestral homeland, and they will not leave with you willingly."
The great wizard asked Yuzai to sit down and spoke earnestly to persuade her to stay.
"Do you know why?"
Ruanzai looked like he was hesitant to speak. The great wizard was very satisfied and felt that Ruanzai also understood some of the truth behind this, but I'm afraid it wasn't very clear yet.
So he asked Yu Zai to give a lecture.
However, when the great wizard listened to Yu Zai's first words, he understood that he had thought wrong again.
The young wizard in front of him has his own very clear logic, and he also hides wisdom that is no less than his own.
"Because they live so well."
"The south was originally a place where people were defeated and exiled. We are near Lingnan, and this is even more true. Only in the current predicament will people miss the beauty of the past."
"Then, on the other hand, I naturally hate the enemy who destroyed this beauty, but on the other hand..."
"If life is far better now than in the past, who else but us, the new children, will miss those difficult old days?"
The great wizard stared at Yu Zai and sighed.
"I can help you. As long as you achieve results in Sanmiao's war this time, I can try my best to help you find the emperor. Although I can't punish them and get your land back, I can win you the right to a fair duel.
"
"...The South is your home, now and in the future."
Yuzai saluted the great wizard and thanked him sincerely.
But the great wizard asked someone to bring a boiled earthen jar of water and gave it to the concubine.
"No need to thank me. I did this because you showed me hope in the south."
"A hope that can transcend the Central Plains!"
The great wizard picked up the water bowl.
"But I heard that there is also a very good young man in the Central Plains... maybe he is the only outstanding person in the world..."
