Heaven and earth are the foundation of life; ancestors are the foundation of species.
With the addition of strong reinforcements and the hard work of the totem warriors, when the plank road is completed, the ancestors should be worshiped respectfully and at the same time loudly ask the sky for approval.
This is just a road to open up the main mountain of Xia Shan, not to be dug across the mountains. When the plank road was opened and the huge stones were transported from the northeast, all the strongmen who participated in the construction of the plank road couldn't help but shed tears.
Time finally stopped for a moment, and many brave people were buried in this deep valley.
So, everyone brought the cattle, sheep and other livestock that were kept in captivity from the Mangman Wilderness, slaughtered them, and used blood to sacrifice their fallen comrades and clansmen.
When Wen Ming came to Xia Shan, what he saw when he raised his head was the stone stack of the ladder connecting the mountains in the northeast.
A plank road connects mountains to mountains. During the construction of a deep valley, countless dead people were buried underneath.
Fortunately, Shandu came to the rescue and the losses were minimized.
The mountain roads are dangerous, and even winding roads dug along the slope are still not easy to dig out.
Otherwise, with the technology of later generations, we should have opened up all the 100,000 mountains long ago, but in fact? No.
In the pre-Qin period, plank roads were built, such as Chencang Road and Jinniu Road from the middle of Shu to the Central Plains... During the construction of these plank roads, countless people died. Although mountains such as Xia Mountain are not comparable to Shu Mountain, they are still the same.
If you fall into a mountain over a thousand meters, you will die.
Wen Ming raised his head and looked at it like this for a long time. He even took a few steps back. From deep in his heart, he derived the kind of wild faith that was like witnessing the miracle of the future.
The times are in chaos.
The world is changing.
The south is changing, and the changes are huge. But for Wen Ming, the south he has heard of is only the south that the elders of the Chong family have said. They say that the south is a barbaric land, an area close to Lingnan, and even more so.
The celestial phenomena are unpredictable, and there are always thunderstorms, mountain earthquakes, ferocious beasts and poisonous dragons coming and going, and miasma and evil spirits in an endless stream.
The south that Wen Ming saw was no longer the south that the tribal elders remembered.
At the foot of Xia Mountain, there is a temporary field ambulance hospital with a strange name, but after explanation, Wen Ming also roughly understood that this is a place where doctors treat injuries.
"Whose child are you? Why are you here alone?"
Wu Pan saw the twelve-year-old kid peeping in front of the animal skin shed. After treating one of the injured warriors, Wu Pan walked over and said in a tone of chasing a puppy: "Go, go, don't do it."
It’s causing chaos here.”
Wen Ming smiled naively, a little embarrassed.
"I have a Chong clan..."
He said his name, but of course he was not famous, let alone a kid who was still playing in the mud.
In the Shanhai Age, the earliest person could be considered "adult", that is, be recognized by the tribesmen as being able to go out hunting alone, was the thirteenth year after birth, and Wen Ming was still one year short of that.
So he is regarded as a young child.
This time we came to Sanmiao because the Chong family was prepared to let Wen Ming receive a baptism. The children who grew up in witnessing the war were considered to be able to take on important responsibilities in the future construction of the tribe.
This is what happened to Danzhu. During the battle of Danshui, Di Fangxun brought him with him. Although Danzhu seems to be crooked in Di Fangxun's eyes, he has to admit that Danzhu is good at carpentry.
...
The strange skill tree is wrong.
In fact, it's not just Wen Ming. There are seven or eight children of the Chong family who came with Wen Ming. These are people who are considered to be able to take on big responsibilities in the future, which is equivalent to the future senior leaders appointed by the emperor. Of course, in the tribal era, even if the emperor appointed
Yes, it is possible to come from behind. Most tribes adhere to the principle that those who are capable are promoted and those who are incompetent are subordinated. As for the reason, it is not as complicated as later generations thought.
It's just because capable people can lead the tribe and lead a better life.
Whoever can support the tribe will be the leadership. If you can't do it, just go down. If you don't want to go down, someone will drag you down.
In the tribal era, there were not many surplus resources, which meant that the transformation of the family and the world could not be completed. If they wanted to engage in private ownership, not many people would agree.
This was especially true during the Yao and Shun periods. Even large tribes did not have much surplus.
The so-called landlord's house has no surplus food and cannot keep everyone fed and clothed. What are you doing standing on it? Looking at the scenery.
When Wu Pan heard that it was someone from the Chong family, he was stunned.
"Zhongyuan is here?"
Yes, the troops from the Central Plains have arrived, and Wu Pan found Chi Songzi so that he could avoid the limelight.
"Is someone coming?"
Not many people knew Chi Songzi here, so Wu Pan knew his true identity. Although he was known as Qiao Song to the outside world, it would be difficult to pretend to be an acquaintance in Zhongyuan.
Akamatsuko doesn’t care who it is, but now, it seems it’s time to disappear for a while.
The struggle in the Central Plains is complicated, who knows who is coming?
Wen Ming wandered around the field hospital and wandered all the way to the fortress under construction!
When the huge fortress foundation and the tall city wall under construction appeared, Wen Ming's world view was once again overturned, causing a huge wave.
I wonder which one is stronger, this kind of fortress or the city built by my father?
The city in the Central Plains and the city in the south?
Wen Ming once saw from a distance that Chong Bogun led the Xuan Yu family to prevent the Hu family from building a city wall. However, the city wall at that time did not seem to be as powerful and strong as this fortress.
Wen Ming was amazed by the area of the fortress.
"From this place, Sanmiao's path forward will be blocked..."
The great wizard of the Xunshan clan and the great wizard of Chaisang came over chatting. Although the two people did not deal with each other in the past, it is not the time to care about such trivial matters now. But when they passed by Wen Ming, Xunshan
The great wizard turned his head:
"Look, if this fortress is built, will it be huge? Will it be strong?"
Wen Ming was a little confused and nodded.
"I heard that a child came all the way from Mangman to find the shaman of the Akafang clan?"
The great wizard of the Xunshan clan said: "I'm very good at judging people. Your appearance and breath are a little different from those of southerners, and we don't have children here..."
In fact, the last sentence is the key point.
"When the construction of this fortress is completed, it will be a giant wall blocking the way of San Miao..."
The great wizard of the Xunshan clan pointed at the fortress and said in a heavy and powerful voice:
"Children of the Central Plains, take a good look at it and remember the people who proposed to build it... In the near future, the outside of this fortress will be covered with the corpses of San Miao!"
