Chapter 67 Chapter 67

You will be thrown out by his partner.

The people of Wushan tribe now live in Yu tribe. Their tribe was burned black by a fire and is now barren and uninhabitable.

The group of burned people were rescued by Shen Nong using his supernatural powers, and were arranged by Yu Ji to recuperate in the hunting team's cave.

If the orcs of the Yu tribe hadn't still had things to do at the seaside, they would have rushed back to the seaside after the Wushan tribe had settled their affairs, leaving most of the cave empty. Otherwise, with so many people at once, the Yu tribe really couldn't accommodate them.

Fortunately, the weather is warm now, so it’s okay to sleep at the entrance of the cave. We just need to light a fire to guard against wild beasts at night.

As soon as Shen Nong arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw Quan Feng sitting on animal skin, staring at the ground with blank eyes.

Not only Inufeng, but all the other injured people were like this.

Shen Nong was not familiar with them, and they would not say anything to him, but he really did not want to see this hopeless look.

He learned about Wu Qing through Yu Ji. Although he had never met him, he understood what kind of person Wu Qing was from Yu Ji's words.

What's more, he was able to endure for more than a year under torture that was unbearable for a human being... Such perseverance and strong desire to survive also made Shen Nong admire him.

The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living have lost their spiritual support and are half-dead.

Shen Nong stood at the entrance of the cave, his arms unconsciously wrapped around the tablet he had carved for Wu Qing.

In the interstellar age, no human believes in the concept of "soul" anymore.

If Shen Nong had not accidentally seen it in an ancient book, he would not have known this.

Although the human body dies, the soul lives on forever and can even be reincarnated.

This is an alternative comfort for those who are still alive.

Tablets, tombs, and sacrifices are all a medium that can unilaterally communicate with the deceased.

Shen Nong walked into the cave and stopped in front of Quan Feng. He placed the tablet in his hand in Quan Feng's arms.

Inukaze lowered his head and looked at the wooden board with the "pattern" carved on it.

He didn't know the words, but he felt that the "pattern" on the wooden board was different from what he had seen before.

Quanfeng didn't know, but Yu Ji, who had been standing by, had his eyes shining.

"Word!"

Yu Ji leaned over and tried his best to restrain himself from snatching the thing in Quan Feng's arms and taking a look at it.

After he saw clearly what was engraved on the wooden board, he said in surprise: "It doesn't seem to be words."

Hearing Yu Ji say this, Shen Nong raised his eyebrows curiously, "Can you write?"

Yu Ji nodded and raised a finger, "I can write one."

Then he squatted on the ground and pretended to write it for Shen Nong to see.

Yu Ji said as he wrote, "I wrote the word Yu, which is the character for Yu in our Yu tribe."

Shen Nong looked at the word with a cross in the tilted diamond on the ground. He rubbed his chin with his fingertips. It turned out to be one of the oracle bone inscriptions of the word "羽" recorded in ancient books.

"Where did you learn this word?"

Hearing Shen Nong's question, Yu Ji replied: "The old priest taught me. She only knows this one, so I also learned this one."

Yu Ji was still curious about the wooden board in Quan Feng's arms. He pointed at the board and asked, "What's the pattern on it?"

"It's not a pattern, it's the text you guessed at the beginning." Shen Nong pointed at the oracle bone script of the word "羽" on the ground with his chin. "It's not the same type as the text you wrote, so it looks different."

This answer shocked Yu Ji. There are actually different types of words?

He stared at the wooden board and asked, "What do the words on it mean?"

Shen Nong looked at the words on the wooden board and read them to Yu Ji, and also to Quan Feng and the others who lived in this cave, "The priest of the Wushan tribe, the spirit tablet of Wu Qing."

Quan Feng is the chief of the tribe. He doesn't know much about "writing", but he has heard Wu Qing mention it before. It seems to be a very important thing, but not every priest can know it.

Even the existence of "writing" is passed down orally from generation to generation by priests, and in fact no one has ever seen it.

When Yu Ji was writing, Quan Feng also leaned over to take a look. Their tribe had not passed down a single written word.

It turns out that text is similar to patterns.

Quan Feng was silently marking the word that Yu Ji wrote on the ground in his mind, and didn't pay much attention to the conversation between Shen Nong and Yu Ji later. When he suddenly heard the names of the tribe and the priest, he almost didn't react.

He looked at the wooden board in his arms, staring at the words on it with wide eyes, and read the words Shen Nong had just read out, word by word.

His large hands slid down along the words, and Quan Feng wished he could engrave them in his mind.

When Yang Wu and the other three orcs heard that the name of their priest Wu Qing was engraved on the wooden board, they all came over.

“This is called a spirit tablet.”

Shen Nong told the people of Wushan tribe what he had thought of before: "After the orcs die, their souls will be taken away by the beast gods, and the spirit tablets are something that can communicate with the souls of the dead.

However, the soul cannot answer, but if you put fruits or meat in front of the spirit tablet, the soul can eat them.

Souls eat differently from us, they eat taste, so things placed in front of the soul tablet will not disappear, but the taste will become bad.

These are what the old priest who taught me told me. If you want to talk to Wu Qing, you can talk to the spirit tablet. You can also find some fruit and meat for him to eat, and he will eat it. You can also put some things he liked in the past, and he will feel it. "

Shen Nong's words could be said to have caused a turbulent tide for everyone in the cave.

The degree of the vibration was no less than that of a beast tide, and even worse.

Quan Feng and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. They could only look at Shen Nong and then at the wooden board, looking back and forth like this.

Shen Nong was afraid that they would sprain their necks.

Yu Ji, as expected of a priest, was much calmer than those orcs. At least he could confirm with him, "Priest of the Wood Tribe, are you telling the truth?"

Yu Ji's voice trembled a little, and his eyes looked at Shen Nong with unusual concentration.

Being asked so seriously, Shen Nong thought for a moment and decided to continue with the lie, "Yeah."

Then, Shen Nong told them a lot about what happens to the soul after death.

For example, the Beast God will reward or punish the soul based on some of the things that people did when they were alive.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu clenched his fists, looking like he was still furious, and his voice was more energetic than usual, "Mu Qi's soul will definitely be punished by the Beast God!"

After hearing this, another orc responded with a "yes" and said, "Priest Wu Qing must have been rewarded by the Beast God!"

This statement aroused the approval of the orcs, and even Yu Ji nodded, "That's right."

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Shen Nong nodded slightly, and then continued to talk about the soul's reincarnation.

He simplified it a lot and made many changes based on the environment of the orc world and the orcs' cognition.

Therefore, Quan Feng and his companions knew that souls rewarded by the Beast God would be reincarnated as orcs and priests, while souls punished by the Beast God would be reincarnated as prey for orcs to hunt.

Shen Nong sat on the animal skin, listening to the conversations coming from his ears. They were all discussing who would be reincarnated as an orc or a priest. Then they all agreed that Mu Qi would be reincarnated as a prey hunted by orcs.

Yu Ji sat down next to Shen Nong, and after a long silence, he asked Shen Nong leisurely, "The previous priest of our tribe had a small mole on the side of his forehead. I see Bao Qiu has one too. Is he the reincarnation of our old priest?"

"ah?"

Shen Nong really didn't expect that, as the old saying goes, if you make up a lie, you have to use thousands of lies to cover it up. At this moment, Shen Nong felt that this was a true maxim.

But he had to answer. Thinking of Bao Qiu's tall and strong figure, Shen Nong had a clear idea in his heart, "It's impossible for the Beast God to reincarnate very quickly. There are so many people waiting in line. Bao Qiu is so old, it's definitely not possible."

Yu Ji thought about it and decided to pay more attention to children in the future.

Shen Nong noticed Yu Ji's thoughts. He was afraid that other orcs had the same idea, so he quickly said, "Don't even think about looking for him. He won't have any memory of his past after reincarnation. Besides, if you look for him and disrupt his life after reincarnation, it will be a disaster."

Yu Ji was attracted and asked quickly, "What happened?"

The orcs of the Wushan tribe also pricked up their ears to listen to Shen Nong.

"It may cause that person to die early, or it may make his life, which was originally good, worse and worse." Shen Nong continued to scare: "The Beast God will not be happy with people who destroy the fate of others. He will definitely punish the soul of that person after death if he is unhappy."

In the silent cave, the clear voice made people feel a little cold, "Anyone who wants to become the hunted can try it."

Yu Ji and the orcs from the Wushan tribe were all frightened and shook their heads repeatedly, not daring to have any thoughts.

Shen Nong then breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction. However, looking at all the faces that he had fooled, he never expected that one day he would become the biggest superstitious leader.

Yu Ji asked Quan Feng to keep Wu Qing's spirit tablet and not to damage it. Yang Wu and his friends planned to go to the forest to find some beautiful flowers to put in front of Wu Qing's spirit tablet. He liked beautiful flowers the most.

The spirits of the people of Wushan tribe have visibly improved. Yu Ji's eyes stayed on the spirit tablet that Quan Feng carefully placed on the soft animal skin, and he sighed: "If only Wu Qing had been discovered earlier..."

Shen Nong knows the pain of separation and death, especially when the person being separated is someone you care about.

He misses his teacher a little.

However, Yu Ji quickly adjusted his mood and said, "The text will never disappear, Wu Qing will always exist."

Shen Nong was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he understood what Yu Ji meant.

He was not an aboriginal of the primitive beast world, nor was he a true priest. Words were very common to him, and he did not think they were special.

But in such a time and space where writing has not yet matured, it also exists like a belief.

Shen Nong thought that after the issues with the cannibals and the Salt Department were resolved and the tribe was completely settled, he would teach the tribesmen to read and write.

Especially the little ones, none of them can be spared.

After leaving Inufeng and the others, Yu Ji remembered what Queshui had told him about the seaside tribe.

He had been busy with the affairs of the Wushan tribe these past two days and had forgotten about it.

After listening to Yu Ji's retelling, Shen Nong had an idea.

Before, he had limited energy and could not reach too far, and he was not very familiar with the Yu tribe, so it was more troublesome to implement.

Now that we have the assistance of systematic bionic warriors and the Yu tribe can be trusted, we can give it a try.

"It's nothing. Since the seaside tribe wants fishing nets and baskets, we can just trade with them."

In addition to fishing nets, boats built by the Wood Tribe can also be used for trading.

Shen Nong looked at Yu Ji with a smile, "Thank you for the hard work of the orc warriors in your tribe to transport the goods."

Yu Ji waved his hand, "If we hadn't traded with your Mu tribe, we would still be hungry and wouldn't have such soft animal skins to use."

Now, every orc of the Yu Tribe has at least one piece of the best animal skin of the Wood Tribe, and those in the hunting team like Yingya have even more.

But no one had as much as Yingya. It was said that he hid animal skins that filled up half of the cave.

..

It was already dark, and Quanfeng led the hunting team of orcs to search in the forest for a long time, collecting all the flowers they thought were beautiful.

Wu Qing's spirit tablet is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers. All the tribesmen of the Wushan tribe now know about the spirit tablet, and there are many flowers and people in the cave.

Those who couldn't stand blocked the entrance of the cave, standing on tiptoe and tilting their heads to look at the spirit tablets in the cave.

It’s just that the firelight was not bright enough, the surroundings were too dark, and there were too many people, so I couldn’t see anything at all.

In the end, it was Inufeng who drove them back, and the cave returned to peace.

Yang Wu stared at the spirit tablet without moving. He knew that Quan Feng was behind him, so he asked, "Wushan tribe, what should we do next?"

Quanfeng did not answer immediately. He stood in front of the spirit tablet for a long time. Yangwu did not urge him, but just waited.

Then Yangwu heard footsteps. It was Quanfeng who left the cave. "I'm going to find Yuji."

As soon as Quanfeng arrived outside Yuji's cave, he heard the orc guarding the cave entrance say, "Chief Quanfeng, the priest has been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly."

In the cave, Yu Ji and Ying Xi were sitting on animal skins. Yu Ji was drawing crooked lines on the ground with a branch, and Ying Xi was watching very carefully.

But after Yu Ji drew a few strokes, he would use a branch to sweep them away and then draw again.

There was a place on the edge with a straight line drawn on it that Yu Ji had not moved. When Quan Feng looked at it backwards, he felt that it looked familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that it was the word "mountain" on the black and blue spirit tablet.

"Practicing calligraphy?"

Yu Ji nodded, "Well, sit down."

Quan Feng sat on the animal skin in front of the stone table, staring at the place where the branch in Yu Ji's hand touched the ground. His eyes moved with Yu Ji's strokes, "You knew I was coming?"

"I know." Yu Ji quickly used the branch to scramble the words on the ground, and then wrote again, "Isn't it just that you want the Wushan tribe to join the Yu tribe?"

Quan Feng nodded, his heart beating a little fast, afraid that Yu Ji and Ying Xi would disagree. After all, they had given up an opportunity before because of Mu Qi's appearance.

"Well, do you agree?"

"If you join another tribe, the Wushan tribe will not exist. You came to me today, you must have thought about the consequences carefully." Yu Ji did not look up, concentrating on writing his own words, "If this is the case, then Quan Feng, before I answer you, I want to ask you a question."

"You ask."

"In the future, do you want the people of the Wushan tribe to live a good life or just stay alive?"

Inufeng didn't quite understand what Yuji meant by this question, "Aren't they all the same?"

Yu Ji still didn't look up, he just shook his head slightly and replied: "It's different. Living well means eating well every day, and having meat three times a day. Living in a mud house is not a cave, but a house where two people live in one, unlike a cave where many people are crowded together.

It is also very warm in winter because there is something called a kang inside that can generate heat in winter.

There is also something called clothes that can be worn, which is both beautiful and warm.

Instead of covering the bleeding wound with dirt to prevent the blood from flowing out, there will be better treatment methods, and many orcs will recover. If you feel unwell, you will drink very bitter water, but you will feel better after drinking it.

There are many more things that I cannot finish talking about. However, if it is just about survival, I can tell you in one sentence. That is, it is enough not to starve to death or freeze to death. "

Yu Ji asked again: "Quanfeng, which one do you want to choose?"

Perhaps the "good life" that Yu Ji said was too good, and even Quan Feng couldn't imagine it. He seemed to be bewitched, and without thinking, he blurted out: "I want the people in the tribe to live a good life."

More than just being alive.

After getting the answer from Quanfeng, Yu Ji stopped what he was doing, looked at him, and said seriously: "If you want the people of Wushan tribe to live a good life, you should think about how to join the Wood tribe instead of the Feather tribe."

Wood tribe?

Quanfeng thought about it for a while, and then he remembered that Baoqiu who came to Wushan tribe to trade before was from the Mu tribe.

"The man who saved you is the priest of the Wood Tribe. He will return to the Wood Tribe tomorrow." Yu Ji finished speaking and buried his head in practicing calligraphy again. "But you'd better go there tomorrow morning. Don't go to the cave to look for him tonight."

Inufeng had just digested the fact that the particularly powerful person was the priest of the Wood Tribe, and was puzzled by Yu Ji's words, "Why? The moon is not particularly high now, so he should not be asleep."

Yingxi replied to Inufeng before Yuji, saying simply, "You will be thrown out by his partner."
