At that time, they were monitored by Chaoge City and lived in Guihou City for generations. Although this kind of wealthy life had no worries about food and clothing, it was also the assimilation of the Yin and Shang royal family. It was equivalent to binding the Yin and Shang royal family to them. Once the Yin and Shang royal family were When Shang fell, Guihou City ceased to exist.
Even before the Yin Shang fell, they were already targeted by the Shang King Di Xin and had to flee outside the territory. Going back this time would certainly solve the current problem, but they would definitely be targeted by the Yin Shang people, or even never again. He could not escape the persecution of the Yin and Shang royal families.
After these Guifang people understood the situation, they completely gave up the idea of retreating. Since they no longer wanted to go back, they had to find a habitat in Shennongjia as soon as possible to build a tribal gathering point.
For this reason, some Guifang people took canoes from the tidal flat near Shennongjia into the mountains, wanting to see if there was any perfect place to hide in the tall mountains.
After searching for several months, they discovered that the Shennongjia Mountains were densely forested and vast. They could indeed use the forest as a cover to prevent outsiders from finding them. Therefore, the Guifang tribe began to migrate to the deep mountains of Shennongjia. In the process, they discovered The giants living in the canyon.
At this time, the giant has become dying and moves slowly. Not to mention walking around and hunting, even taking a breath requires a lot of strength in the body.
The Onifa people thought that these giants were injured. After contacting the giants, they found that they were just too weak and no longer had the strength to hunt. In other words, even if they really wanted to hunt, they would not have the strength to mobilize the huge giants under the current circumstances. Body.
Although the Onifa people are afraid of such a big giant, they can feel that the giant has no ill intentions towards them, because even if the giant loses its strength, it can crush an Onifa person with its hands. This kind of terrifying power is absolute. The strange thing is that they are extremely tolerant of the ghosts, and can even let the children of the ghosts play in the palm of their hands.
After this incident, the Onikata people determined that the giant was just big in size and was actually gentle and non-aggressive. Judging from his behavior, he might even be able to help the Onikata people.
As a result, the Onikata people began to capture large prey in the mountains and forests and feed it to the giants. After the giants swallowed a large amount of prey to regain their strength, they gradually recovered some of their body's abilities and began to use the Sky Eyes to communicate with the Onifata people.
Under the introduction of the giants, the Guifang people gradually understood that these giants were a tribe of giants from ancient times. Their tribe lived near Shennongjia. However, with the changes in the climate and environment, the tribe gradually withered. By the Yin and Shang Dynasties, only ten people were left. Several giants.
Due to changes in the environment, they could no longer hunt more prey. After their body functions declined, their bodies gradually alienated and lost their ability to reproduce. If it had not been for the arrival of the Onikata people, they would have died one after another in the last few hundred years.
In order to repay the Guifang people, the giant told the Guifang people all about the strange terrain of Shennongjia, and gave the locations of the valleys and basins created by the giants to the Guifang people so that they could survive in these places.
He also used his own Celestial Eyes to allow the Guifang people to briefly open their Celestial Eyes, giving them the ability to communicate with all things in nature, allowing them to sense more breath and survive in the ancient dense forest.
With the help of the giants, the Guifang people gradually established a foothold in Shennongjia, built Guifang Kingdom's buildings and temples in the basin, and settled down as a settlement.
In order to completely separate this area from other places to avoid being found, the Guifang people used the twelve soul-taking bones to create the Guifang illusion in their ancestral temple, turning Shennongjia into a huge maze. At the same time, they also used the ancient The magic of returning to the mountains has completely hidden the living place of the Guifang people deep in Shennongjia, making it no longer known to anyone.
With these guarantees, the Guifang people will have absolute peace and stability when they disappear from the world.
After that, the ghosts and the giants formed a tacit understanding. The ghosts paid tribute to the giants with a large amount of prey to maintain their lives, so that they did not have to spend a lot of effort hunting. In exchange, the giants needed to constantly open the celestial pupil to the ghosts. , allowing them to sense the breath and rule this Shennongjia.
As the giants no longer hunt, the giants' bodies have become redundant organs. These huge bodies can indeed catch prey more easily, but they also consume a lot of food to maintain the strength of the body. When hunting is impossible, the body can still To absorb more power, the huge body changes from a weapon to a drag.
Therefore, after no longer needing to hunt, the giant's body began to actively degenerate, forming a puddle of "dead meat" that had no response. It only needed to eat a small amount of food to keep the body from decaying.
Without the massive consumption of the body, the nutrients formed by the food eaten by the giant's body are all accumulated in the giant's head, causing the celestial pupil in the giant's brain to continue to evolve.
After that, the celestial pupil in the giant's brain became more and more powerful, and finally connected with the celestial pupil of the ghost, forming a maternal induction.
In the past, the Onifa people's Celestial Eyes would only be connected to their consciousness when they needed to communicate with giants. Now, as long as the Onifa people open their Celestial Eyes, the giants can directly sense them and communicate with them consciously. , the giant's celestial pupil is like the umbilical cord connecting the baby and the mother's body, constantly sensing all the breath of the ghost.
At this point, the giant is equivalent to the mother body of the Guifang people, and each Guifang person is equivalent to the child body. No matter where the child body runs to Shennongjia, the mother body can feel the consciousness of each child body through Tianpu. and breath.
This extremely powerful sensing ability is equivalent to reducing a lot of communication barriers between giants and ghosts. In the past, it took a lot of effort to communicate with giants, but now it has become extremely efficient.
For example, in the past, if the Guifang people wanted to go hunting, they would have to gather many tribesmen.
After the clan members have arrived, they need to assign tasks, distribute weapons, form teams, and determine routes and directions. When hunting, they also need to use whistles and bells to determine each other's positions.
It would be even more troublesome if they could not go back after hunting the prey. These people would have to notify other tribesmen to come and support them. After hunting the prey and returning to the tribe, it would already be a day later. As for the subsequent coordination of the prey, distribution of shares, rewards and punishments, Summarizing experience will take a lot of time.
A hunting trip requires two days to be busy with various chores. As for the hunting process, it is the easiest. The waste of time makes the Guifang tribe spend a lot of experience in maintaining their appetite.
With the giant's celestial pupil, there is no need to waste time.
The people of Guifang only need to form all the division of labor into Guifang characters so that the giants can see clearly. Tiantong can instantly sense the tasks to each individual, and can even give them more detailed clues about the prey through induction during the hunting process. , as for the discussion of merit and rewards after hunting, all were sensed by Tian Tong, and there was no need to argue. Who had made more contributions and who had worked harder, it was all clear in the hearts of the people in Guifang.
All kinds of things like that.
The power of Tiantong not only threatens the Guifang people, but also allows the Guifang people to avoid a lot of disputes. It can shorten the hunting time and use the saved time for other things. Under this premise, the Guifang people can pick up things again. Arithmetic, architecture, culture, art, medical skills... began to rebuild Guifang's faith, and developed the originally crude Guifang tribe into a new Guifang country civilization.
All of this is based on the influence of the giant Tianpu on the Guifang country. Nearly a hundred years later, the Guifang people's Tianpu belief was formed. The giant also became the Guifang people's Tianpu god, transforming from the image of a human to the image of a god. , and became the Tianpu God who cannot be desecrated, respected and loved by the ghost people.
Yue Guanchao saw the end. In the last frame of the cowhide scroll, the giant looked like a Buddha sitting cross-legged and meditating. It could be seen that the vertical eyes in his head were shining, and a colorful halo formed behind his head, illuminating the city of Guifang Kingdom, implicating the Guifang clan. Every tribesman.
"Then according to your point of view, you were so powerful that day, why did we see only dilapidated houses? Where did the Guifang Kingdom's city go?"
Song Siyuan was indeed curious about this. After they arrived in the valley, these villages were not yet grand. At best, they were just a few small villages, without any sign of urban civilization at all.
She felt a little strange at the time. The Guifang tribe had survived from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the present. Four to five thousand years was enough to form a civilization. How could they not even build a town?
"Hey, these outsiders are all to blame!"
The old hag seemed to be very upset, and Yue Guanchao asked, "It's the Beifu soldiers."
"right!"
The old hag then took out another picture scroll. In this picture, there were three circular basins distributed in the deep mountains, and the highest peak was the overlapping mountain in the middle of the three basins.
Looking carefully, among the three circular basins, only two of them have bustling towns. The other basin contains only forests and lakes and fields.
The old ghost woman pointed at the scroll and said: "Didn't you just ask me where the Guifang Ancient Kingdom is? I can only tell you that the location we are in is the most desolate basin. This was originally the wild forestland reserved by Guifang Kingdom. , as for the towns, we still have to go deeper.”
"Then are there still people in these places?"
Song Siyuan asked.
The old hag shook her head: "No, it was all taken away by the God of Heavenly Eyes. It is still related to those foreign Beifu soldiers. Whether it is the disappearance of the Guifang people or the punishment of the Beifu soldiers, they are all related to these Beifu soldiers." Due to the open relationship, they are the main culprits of the decline of Guifang Country’s civilization.”
