A delicate-looking girl with a bone ring tied to her hand curiously looked at a fishing cliff.
The young man nodded: "I have already told my parents that I will be leaving in a few days."
"Is it because of the omen the wizard said?"
"There are some, but no one is willing to move, and I have wanted to leave for a long time."
"Why?"
The girl was confused: "We have food, clothing, and family here. Although we are surrounded by mountains, we don't have much hardship. As long as we work hard to farm, fish, and hunt, we can have enough to eat. Why go out?"
"Because I want to see the outside of the mountain."
The young man said this: "It's big outside, it's big and big. There's the boundless sea in the east, the vast grasslands in the north, the towering snow-capped mountains in the west, and further south, the legendary Touhiro Wilderness is there."
The girl shook her head: "The sparrows in the mountains and fields have been flying all their lives, and they just hover in the mountains. They don't envy the so-called sea, don't see the so-called grassland, let alone know what the snow-capped mountains are. They are equally happy, why should they give up happiness and go away
What about pursuing suffering?”
Ya sighed: "Ah Shang, the turtle doesn't know where the fish is!"
The girl was stunned, her cheeks suddenly bulged, and she was very angry.
"I have decided to leave, do you want to come with me?"
However, the boy sincerely asked the girl, and after thinking about it, the girl shook her head.
She didn't dare to leave, and her family wouldn't let her leave.
If one person is missing, there will be one helper missing, and life at home will be difficult.
"You have an eldest sister and a younger brother in your family. The younger brother has grown up and can help with the work, but I can't."
"But I can wait for you to come back."
Ya already knew that Ah Chang would not leave with him, so after a long silence, Ya patted the girl on the head.
Wait, I definitely won’t be able to wait. How far is the mountain? How long does it take for the Huodu River to flow upstream before we can see Qingshui?
Don't know any of this.
After a few days, he gave up on the cliff of hazy love and embarked on a journey to leave. No one walked with him.
Everyone was waiting for the tribes to move together, which would definitely be a big deal, but Ya and them were not going along the way.
"Every ten years or so, there will always be some radical children who want to go out of the mountains and see the outside world. Oh, the outside world is so dangerous. Decades ago, the giant broke in and killed everyone.
Qian’s tribe, and how many monsters are there like him out there!”
Regarding Ya's departure, many people sneered and said similar things.
The outside world is very dangerous, only here is the paradise.
But Ah Chang remembered Ya's words: a turtle doesn't know where the fish is going.
Turtles don't know where fish are going.
After Ya left, the Huodu Lake tribe remained as usual, day after day, as winter turned to spring.
When everyone relaxed their vigilance, many people broke in outside the mountain.
These people claimed to be from a tribe of gods. They defeated the warriors here and hanged or beheaded many of them. After their complete victory, they declared that this mountainous area became their tributary and was reclaimed by humans.
What scares me is the blood sacrifice.
The young children will be taken away as blood food dedicated to the gods! To express the loyalty of the tribes.
[Recommend blood to appease the gods!]
"Since Emperor Zhuanxu, where can there be a god of blood sacrifice in heaven and earth?"
This was the old wizard's accusation. However, the wizard who defeated him coldly told him that this god was older than Zhuan Xu's time and was the ancestor of all human races.
This sentence made the old wizard and the others understand the prophecy of their ancestors.
The wizard covered his face and claimed that he had been blessed by the gods and transformed into an immortal body. However, under his heavy linen clothes, animal skins, and bird feathers, what he should have was not a body of flesh and blood, but a body of flesh and blood.
It's a shrunken body like a mummy.
"Our tribe is the assimilation of countless tribes. We now call ourselves 'Shu'! Our god is called 'ancestor', and he is the ancestor that all tribes should respect. After worshiping the ancestor, you can obtain an immortal body!"
Some of these tribes were rescued slaves, and some were small tribes that were about to be exterminated due to migration. They were guided by the "God" and gathered together, and their wizards truly obtained immortal bodies.
The reappearance of the ancient blood sacrifice god is not yet known to many tribes in the Great Southern Wilderness, because the more remote the place, the more frequent the blood sacrifice. This comes from the ignorance of the world and the fear and awe of the so-called "god".
.
Compared with the behavior of the black snake, because the black snake is basically a beast, it can say "I am a barbarian". After all, the beast itself does not have morality. If it had not eaten the sacred deer and the immortal grass, the black snake would not have survived.
Not until now.
Moreover, although Emperor Zhuanxu wiped out the practice of blood sacrifice, in the Emperor Zhi era, monsters such as Xiu Snake and Jiu Ying, or alien beasts and giant gods, still caused turmoil, and at the same time, the legacy of blood sacrifice was followed.
Weak turbulence, like a dark fire, was burning in the interior of the Southern Wilderness. These blood-sacrificing tribes began to capture and plunder some small mountains and fields, but did not dare to move to the central mountains and other large mountains and fields, because the big countries such as the Fire-weary People and the Feather People were among them.
.
"This woman is good, she can serve as a waiter for the gods!"
The mummy-like wizard pointed at Ah Chang, and with the entire tribe under control, the Huodu River was filled with bright red blood.
Ah Chang looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Ganzhi tree. As spring passed and autumn came, the Ganzhi tree was about to bloom.
So the tribe was dragged away and became slaves. But here at Huodu River, the fireflies no longer flew, the houses collapsed, the wooden pillars tilted, and only the Ganzhi tree was left, still standing here quietly.
Everything in the world was miserable. From this day on, when spring passed and autumn came, this sweet tree never bloomed or bore fruit again.
The people of the tribe left, but they did not leave in the way they dreamed. They no longer had a way forward, and they walked cautiously towards the abyss. The only ones left in Huodu Lake were the fireflies that flew back and forth every year, and the
That five-hundred-year-old Ganzhi tree.
This big tree is waiting.
It is waiting for the day when people who leave will come back. It believes that it can wait, because it can live for thousands of years, and one day, someone will come back.

When the water of Huodu flows, the waves reverse the flow, and the vast green water appears in the eyes of the cliff.
He finally figured it out and walked out on his own.
Out of the ancient and confusing mountains!
When he saw the vast wilderness, he didn't know where to go. He raised his head, and the birds in the sky were soaring. He walked forward and came to the wilderness of Biyi. As night fell, the Erba gods appeared in front of him.
In front of the three stars in the wilderness, they danced and sang ancient songs!
He saw fireworks nearby, and there were tribes living here. The people of the tribe told him that those shadows were the Erba gods, who served as the Yellow Emperor's star at night. In the past few years, the sparks were stolen, and the years were lost. Sanmiao attacked
In the north, the gods went north to look for fire. Later, wizards from the north came here and rekindled the spark. As a result, the distant wilderness knew time again.
Ya looked at some of the farming tools used by the local tribes. He stared, having never seen those things before.
To the tribesmen outside, the young man Ya was just like the time traveler two hundred years ago, his cognition was stagnant.
"What do you mean? This is called a plow! It comes from the Fire-Tired Country, and the Fire-Tired Country is obtained from the Southern Hills of the Northland!"
The young men of that tribe looked at him with a smile.
