It rains suddenly in mid-spring, and thunder begins to strike 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 sun is due east and the yin is due west, which is called the vernal equinox. At the vernal equinox, yin and yang are in half phase, so day and night are even and the cold and heat are equal. In the Central Plains, people also plant fire-fighting grass on their houses. There is a bird like a crow, which crows before the chicken and makes a grid. People wait for this bird and then go into the field, thinking that
On the vernal equinox, make wine, mix vinegar, and transplant flowers and trees.
But now, the wine-vinegar sauce is still being brewed and will be at least half a year away from completion.
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, be prepared.
This year, floods must be eliminated.
Therefore, rice, taro, green bean can be found everywhere in the fertile soil.
"It's been a whole year."
At this time, Yuan Zai felt quite emotional. It had been a full year since he came from the distant Central Plains to Nanqiu in the south, and he had set foot in this barren mountain wilderness. The recovery of fire and tree species, what Yuan Zai promised to his tribe, had been fully accomplished.
But it's a pity that Yuzai 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 family 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 or the shore instead of going through the mountains.
In the production of the bed crossbow, ten models were tested. Except for the test model made by Chaogishi, which was slightly better, the power and range of the other ones were not much different from Akakata's prototype bed crossbow. Moreover, the crossbow string and crossbow arm were broken several times during the process. 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 comes 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 people can awaken at once. 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 more powerful 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: "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 complained to me, saying that the fleeing tribe in Nanqiu started to develop something new, but it is very useful and not bad..."
"Small cart, bullock cart... Mr. Gao told me, with that thing, you put even the Tao and Tang envoys to shame... The South has defeated the Central Plains... Ah, although you are too You are from the Central Plains, but now you are from the South.”
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 was how she should behave. After all, she was facing the top leader of the local government (provincial level).
You have to put it on, 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.
"Well, you're smart."
The great wizard gave Yu Zai a very appreciative look. 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 right now."
Ruzai 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 the 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 and they regard the South as their ancestral homeland, 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 hesitating 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 talk about it.
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, in contrast, 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 at this time.
"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 always will be.”
Yu Zai saluted the great wizard and thanked him sincerely.
But the great wizard asked someone to bring a boiling vat of water and gave it to Concubine Zai.
"No need to thank me. I did this because you showed me the hope of the south."
"A hope that can transcend the Central Plains!"
The great wizard picked up the bowl of water.
"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..."
