A black curtain covered the sky, and Uncle Xi and Yi returned from the salt fields wearing stars and moons. What he saw and touched on this day was something he had never experienced or encountered in the past decades.
The new installation on the water well, called the windlass, and the pulleys and lassoes are also refreshing; the poles and shelves that can be seen everywhere in the salt fields, stacked in a square shape, and the method of drying salt similar to the Susha family in the East China Sea , Uncle Xi never thought that he would see it in this barbaric land in the south.
There were some strange things in the measurement units used to measure land. The appearance of "chi" and "inch" confused Uncle Xi. Make the conversion.
Those raised hills are said to bury their past memories and have also become their ancestral land?
The origin of that tablet and what was written on it made Uncle Xi unforgettable for a long time.
"Since Jinyun was divided into Chifang, all the pioneers who have passed on the fire for the continuation of the tribe and allowed the tribe to stand among the heaven, earth, mountains and seas will be immortalized here!"
Uncle Xi heard someone talking.
The teenagers believe that they are pioneers, and they hope that their ancestors will watch over them and open up their homeland bit by bit.
They will lift up the mountains and seas and raise them high to the blue sky; they will cultivate and outline the golden fields under the light of the sun.
As Heaven takes its course, man will continue to strive for self-improvement!
"Many people have forgotten the story before God came."
Uncle Xi couldn't help but think of this. Many tribes worshiped the gods blindly, hoping to be closer to the gods of their ancestors, without remembering where they came from, let alone those real ancestors who had fought against the heaven and the earth and overcome all obstacles.
But Akakata remembered.
"Where are their gods?"
Uncle Xi asked Dayi like this.
"already dead."
Dayi responded like this.
In the battle between the Longdi clan and the Akafang clan, the totem was shattered, the tribal flames were extinguished, the gods were naturally annihilated into nothingness, and the sacrificial ritual vessels were broken.
But why didn’t God possess the next generation of wizards?
Emperor Yi also didn't understand that the witchcraft of Yuzai seemed to have nothing to do with the Chifang clan's gods.
This annihilated god was very mysterious. Dayi had also guessed that after hearing about Chi Fang's crossing of the river, he guessed that perhaps Juzai's strange witchcraft was the last gift given by the god before his annihilation.
But why should he die?
The gods are all serious about it. Who would give up his status in the world easily?
Uncle Xi couldn't understand either.
"But if it is true, it must be a very kind god who likes the Akakata clan very much. He would rather sacrifice himself in exchange for the survival of the tribe... In the memory of history, there are few gods who are like this. Do."
Uncle Xi responded to Dayi like this.
In the tall field ridge, the big dragon was covered with wooden frames and rattans. Its voice was like thunder. Perhaps the big dragon was the most inconspicuous and least worth remembering thing that Uncle Xi saw. .
Controlling exotic beasts is not a rare skill after all.
The tall earth wall appeared in the eyes of the two of them. It was still early and the bonfire had not yet been extinguished. Yumeng was having dinner. As a sentry, he came back later than the others, while some of the others had already gone back to sleep.
"This wall is very strong, comparable to the huge stone cities in the Central Plains."
Uncle Xi said: "In terms of ordinary earth walls, this level of solidity has surpassed that of ordinary stone cities. The Qi inside is very solid and will hardly move."
Dayi: "How are you today?"
Uncle Xi: "Very good...very interesting. I have never been so happy."
"I never thought that a place like the South would have such a paradise."
Uncle Xi said: "I know why you want to recommend him. You said that the child named Chonghua has the same merits as the child named Yuzai, but the emperor values virtue and filial piety more."
Dayi said: "A few years ago, when Chonghua didn't come out, the emperor went to find a few people. In fact, at that time, you didn't know that he was already looking for a successor, but he didn't specifically look for young people like he does now. people."
Uncle Xi: "I would like to hear the details."
"In the fifty-ninth year of Emperor Tao's reign in the Tang Dynasty, which was one year after you last returned, and I had just returned at that time, the Emperor went to ask the four sages (Fang Hui, Xu You, Shanjuan, and Piyi) who could Trust the world."
"Xu You's teacher is called Jie Que, and Jie Que's teacher is called Wang Ni..."
Among the four sages, Fang Hui and Pi Yi (Pu Yizi) are both Qi practitioners.
"The emperor asked Xu You if he could give up the world to your teacher Jie Que. Xu You said that his teacher's management was a bit chaotic..."
What Xu You probably means is that his teacher has a problem in his head. If you want the world to be chaotic, then leave it to him.
The emperor gave up.
"Then, Emperor Taotang, I remember that year Chongbo Gun took over from Gonggong and started to control the water. The emperor went to Zizhou Zhifu and wanted to ask him if he dared to take over the world."
Uncle Xi yelled: "Zhifu Zizhou, I know this man is quite famous. What did he say?"
Dayi: "Zizhou Zhifu said that he is suffering from Youyou's disease... He is sick and needs to be cured. He cannot accept the world."
Uncle Xi burst out laughing: "What's wrong with him? He's scolding the Emperor. He's scolding the Emperor and pretending that the world is sick!"
Dayi: "Yes, not long after that, a year or two ago, the emperor suddenly summoned many people and asked them to recommend the world's young talents. It was at that time that Chonghua caught his attention."
Uncle Xi already understood what Dayi meant. He said, "Should the wizard have come out?"
The two returned to the tribe. Yumeng was having a barbecue. When he saw Uncle Xi, he took the initiative to give him a piece.
"My archery skills are good. If I study with Shengxue, I will definitely be great in the future."
Uncle Xi remembered Yu Meng, who was the little warrior who started the archery. Yu Meng humbly said that the opponent was also very powerful. Uncle Xi was a little happy after being praised a lot, and the old man's face became healthy and rosy.
Dayi asked: "Where is the witch?"
Yumeng said: "The witch is in the shed, he seems to be working on something."
Dayi smiled: "Is there something new? Are you recording the 'time table'? There is still a little time for the summer solstice."
"Speaking of which, someone went to see the witch before, but the witch didn't come for a long time. It seems that something important must have been delayed."
Uncle Xi suddenly stopped.
"By the way, there's something..."
Coming to Chifang Family, the dazzling new life gave Uncle Xi an urge to provide for his old age, but fortunately he remembered at this time and handed the small sign to Dayi.
"Gan Panshi? I've never heard of it. Where did it come from?"
Dayi said he didn't know, and Uncle Xi said: "It's normal not to know, because I don't know either, but I want to tell you that this tribe has been destroyed... They are just south of your tribe."
"Near Tianbi Mountain, they were attacked and destroyed by humans."
Dayi's eyes moved.
Uncle Xi looked towards the majestic shadow in the south.
"There is evil in the mountains."

Of course, Yu Zai is not just writing forms.
If people want to survive in the south, they must first have an open space to avoid the accumulation of miasma. Nanqiu is a good place. At least it has much less vegetation than other places. At the same time, because of the existence of the old turtle, As a result, there are very few strange beasts nearby. Instead, wild beasts move frequently, and scavengers often appear. This means that the accumulation of miasma in this area is not very severe.
There is a prerequisite for the massive accumulation of miasma, which is "no ventilation", and then because of the decay of various animals and plants...
But no matter what, the Xunshan clan, Chaisang clan, and even Daze, to Rongyu Mountain, Xicheng Mountain, Dayan Mountain...Tianbi Mountain...this area is outside Lingnan after all, and is not the same as Bordering the Great Southern Wilderness, it happens to be a "wilderness". There are open spaces in twos and threes, and it is not a large and airtight forest.
After this period of development, the land of Nanqiu has eliminated much of the miasma, and everything is developing for the better. Even in the right time of summer, there is no need to worry about the reappearance of those poisonous and harmful gases. This thing If it's gone in one place, it's really gone.
The next thing Yuzai needs to beware of are actually bugs.
The south is full of insects.
Not only are we afraid that these bugs will come to crop fields to lay eggs or eat agricultural grains, but the most important thing is to prevent people from being infected with diseases by bugs.
To deal with bugs, the ancients could only spread ashes, turn the soil, plow deeply, add new soil, burn the fields, change the season, or plant plants with stinky smells (specific to bugs)... But even after inventing so many treatments Although insect pests still occur from time to time, I don’t know whether it is because farmers are unwilling to follow previous experience, or because the government’s publicity is not adequate?
But one of the most effective ways to deal with these large-scale pests is to fight them with insects.
Except for the group of frogs that hang out in the salt fields with the giant dragon every night...
In front of Yu Zai, there was a slender-waisted wasp, its two tentacles swaying gently, expressing goodwill towards Yu Zai.
This guy is called "辿ying".
