On this day, in the middle of the night, Lu Cheng's soul traveled to another world again.
It is midsummer in another world, the weather is hot, the heat is steaming, the vegetation is growing wildly, and both humans and monsters are becoming lazy.
As Lu Cheng walked under the harsh sunlight, he felt that the temperature here was at least 45 degrees, much hotter than the summers of later generations.
In midsummer every year, the monthly average temperature in the southern coastal areas of my country ranges from 28c to 32c, and in the northeastern region, the monthly average temperature is mostly between 20c and 24c. The northernmost Mohe area also has 18.4c. The area with the highest average temperature in July is located in the TLF Basin of XJ, with the highest value reaching 35c, and the extreme highest temperature reaching 49.6c (recorded on July 13, 1975).
In another world, the place where the Yi people live can easily reach 45 degrees. This surprised Lu Cheng and thought: "Is this on the earth? If it is on the earth, then where is the earth at this time? Period? Why is the cave sky so cold, covered with snow for seventy or eighty days, and why is it so hot in summer?"
So far, Lu Cheng has no direct evidence to prove that this is not the earth, and he dare not say that it is still on the earth, because the year here has 864 days, which is very different from that of later generations.
He walked to the Witch Temple and looked at the sundial outside. It was already entering the second dog day.
"Damn, it's only the second day of the summer, it's not even the third day yet, and it's so hot!"
This was his first summer in a different world, and he experienced the heat here for the first time. When he came here for the first time last year, it was already early autumn. According to solar terms, it should be the "White Dew", the harvest season of Lingmai.
Lingmai grows here year-round, with a particularly long growing season.
Lu Cheng walked into the main hall and saw the witch arranging a pile of yellow and green jade stones.
"Master, are all these jade produced in Baiyu Mountain?"
Wu Huan nodded: "Yes, this is what I carefully selected. Baiyu Mountain produces thousands of catties of jade every year, and the good jade is sent to me and the clan leader. The elders also divided some among themselves. I took it out and prepared to wait for Jiu Come over and exchange some good things with them."
"Master, the people from the Jiu Clan are coming soon?"
"Yeah, once in ten years, it comes in the dog days of summer."
"Master, what kind of treasure do you want to change?"
The shaman's eyes flickered: "I would like to ask the spirit shaman of the Jiu clan to guide me in my practice for a day alone."
Lu Cheng asked: "Will the other party agree?"
The wizard nodded again: "This has been a tradition for many years. The spirit witches of the Jiu tribe roam among the seventy-two Yi tribes, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the human race. Only by improving the strength of the great witches of each tribe can they better protect the human race. "
"In that case, why do you still need to prepare jade?"
"If you don't do this, the spirit shaman will not teach the Dharma seriously. Don't forget, although the Yi tribe is said to have seventy-two tribes, the number is actually far more than this. The number of large and small Yi tribes combined is unknown. Ethnic groups. These ethnic groups sometimes cooperate and sometimes fight. The last war of our Yi tribe took place more than ten years ago, and we defeated a Yi tribe of ten thousand people... I remember that your mother came here at that time... …”
Lu Cheng couldn't help but bared his teeth and thought to himself: "You still bring this up, aren't you afraid that I will avenge Beikang's mother?"
He stared at the jade and found that it was neither Hetian jade nor jadeite, but similar to Daishan jade, and also somewhat similar to Nanyang Dushan jade.
"Master, do you have a map in your hand? A map containing the seventy-two Yi tribes and the Jiu tribe?"
The wizard shook his head slowly: "I don't have it. The spirit witches of the Jiu tribe should have it."
Lu Cheng asked: "Master, do you know if there is a sea to the east?"
"It is said that there is, but the distance is too far."
“In the territory occupied by our Poyyi tribe, except for the jade produced by Poyyu Mountain,
Are there any places nearby that are rich in jade? "
"Yes! Go east from here, cross a big river, and walk two to three hundred miles eastward. There is a very high mountain. There are more beautiful jade produced there."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Where could that place be?" He wanted to go and see it, but it was only a few days before the Jiu Clan people came, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity.
The witch looked at him and said, "Don't go out these days. Stay at home. Eat less meat and more grains and fruits."
Lu Cheng asked: "Master, why do you eat less meat?"
"Meat can replenish blood, but it will cover up spirituality and is not liked by spiritual witches."
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
"The spirit shaman has stopped eating meat. He relies on eating spiritual grains to practice."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "The people here mainly live on meat, and the output of spiritual grains is limited. They eat meat every day without brushing their teeth. They wear deerskin and sheepskin, and they don't bathe every day. It does have a strong smell. "
The Lai Yi people wear linen clothing, but the linen clothing is crudely made and not as strong as animal skin clothing.
Lu Cheng walked out of the Witch Temple and went to the nearby market to buy two newly made linen clothes.
There are craftsmen in the tribe who specialize in making clothes, most of them are older women, and the young women have gone to pick wild fruits.
In midsummer, there are many small wild fruits, which are sour, sweet and very refreshing.
Most of the large fruits are not ripe yet and have to wait until autumn.
Lu Cheng was walking in the nearby mountains and fields and saw ripe mulberries, raspberries, purple-leaf plums, and lantern fruits. He picked some of each and put them into the jade ring.
There are also ripe peaches and plums in the valleys a little further away. In these places, humans have to compete with birds and beasts. If they arrive late, the fruits will be pecked by birds.
Lu Cheng practiced in the stone chamber and waited honestly for seven or eight days.
Finally one day, the people from the Dove Clan came!
An old wizard with black hair, a face as red as copper, and three obvious wrinkles on his forehead. He squinted his eyes and sat on a two-horse cart. The cart was three meters wide, six meters long, and had wheels. How tall is one person? The two horses are huge, much larger than the horses of later generations, with a height of 3.5 meters and a body length of 5 meters!
There are ten warriors in front of the carriage, holding spears in their hands; there are ten warriors behind, carrying broadswords on their backs. These people are tall, muscular, and appear to be very powerful. Their temples are bulging an inch high. They are at least innate masters.
Following these people, there was also a group of merchants, a total of twenty or thirty people, riding in three small carriages.
Behind them were hundreds of young people, in large and mighty groups.
After the merchants arrived at the territory of the Lai Yi tribe, they took out a variety of items from the jade rings and laid them out for trading.
The old spirit witches were warmly entertained by the great witches and clan chiefs. Dozens of girls sang and danced, and ate pots of pulp. Because the spirit witches didn’t like meat, they cooked the meat in large cauldrons with spirit grains cooked in them. The wine jar was opened, exuding the sweet smell of wine. new
The old spirit wizard stepped on the back of a kneeling warrior, stepped down from the cart, thrust the bamboo stick in his hand into the ground, then pulled out the bamboo stick and inserted a piece of spiritual bamboo less than three inches long into the soil. , and dropped a piece of spiritual jade at the root of the spiritual bamboo, and the section of spiritual bamboo grew rapidly, reaching a height of two or three feet that could be seen with the naked eye, and then grew horizontal branches and leaves intertwined, turning into a bamboo house.
The warrior spread the bamboo mat on the ground, and the old wizard walked over and sat down.
Then someone brought a bottle of wine from each wine vat.
The old spirit wizard tasted each one and shook his head slightly, as if he was not satisfied.
Later, all the drinks were drank by the warriors. _&
