Chapter 895: The Village

The reefs are diverse and contiguous in shape, making them the best natural paddocks.

Now that the tide has receded, the exposed reef puddles are full of life, such as fish and shrimp that have not receded with the tide and run aground, they will remain in the puddles.

At least she glanced at it and found a palm-sized sea bass and a small jellyfish in a puddle of water. Conchs, nudibranchs, mudskippers and crabs pass through the crevices, and although they hide from people when they see them, it doesn't take much effort to catch them.

In addition, the reef is covered with wakame, sea cabbage, and barnacles, all of which are edible and delicious.

On top of that, the seashore also produces salt, which is essential to the human body.

In the scorching hot summer, within six hours of each receding tide, the sea water in the shallow recesses will be exposed to the strong sunlight and then evaporate, leaving behind the crystal white salt WWW.UUXS.CC. Humans here can scrape salt from the rocks, and as long as it is stored properly, it is not difficult to keep it for the long winter and spring seasons.

With salt, the human body has the strength to work. In the Inner Region, salt is one of the most important commodities for people's livelihood, and there are many examples of merchants making a fortune by transporting salt in the western and eastern parts of the southern continent. In ancient China, Jiang Ziya was sealed in the Qi State, saying that the Qi State had "the benefit of fish and salt", which refers to fishing and salt.

Then they passed through a tidal flat, where the beach was not so white that it was full of mud when they stepped on it. But now someone is walking on it.

The man was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he should have been considered an adult laborer in an age when his average life was short, with broad soles, dark and shiny skin, and a flush under the cheekbones of his face. It is the color of the sea breeze and the sun. Although the body is thin and the skin is rough, there are muscles on the arms and legs. Compared to the humans under the tuhe tribe, this man appeared healthier and more awake.

He was busy on the black mudflats with a stone shovel sharpened at the tip, occasionally scooping up an oval or two and throwing it into the grass around his waist. He's pretty skilled. If it weren't for Ning Xiaoxian and the others, their eyesight would be excellent. It was almost impossible to see what he had dug up were small creatures such as razor clams, mussels, and sea melon seeds, which lived in the mud and sand, and the shells were still covered with thick wet mud.

In tidal intervals, that is, the act of catching seafood after the tide has receded. In the southeast coast of China, it is called "the small sea". Obviously, this person came out to beg Xiaohai before dawn, obviously his thirst for food was particularly urgent, and Ning Xiaoxian saw him walking to the edge of the reef. Skillfully find a hard shell and pry it open, then dig out the oysters inside and swallow them in one bite.

The man had just wiped the foam from his mouth. Then I heard a noise in front of me. When he looked up, he saw a grim-looking guy crouching on the reef and grinning at him. The smile was so terrible that he subconsciously took two steps back, and then found that this person was spitting out a puff of black smoke from his mouth. Floating over and circling around himself twice, he subconsciously felt bad, and he had to turn around to run. The black smoke went through his ears and eyes, and then. He felt that his eyes were dark and unconscious.

It was also thanks to the remote location of the place where he stood, and he did not attract much attention.

After a few breaths, the man got up again, and walked into the low forest beside him, where Changtian waited for him.

He pointed to Kachiha: "He is right, there is a small village in front of us, about 200 people, and it can be reached a mile down the coast. "This authentic lingua franca of the Southern Ganbu Continent is the evidence that has been smeared out of the doppelganger.

Soul cultivation in this solid hidden mountains and rivers array, it is really a bug-like existence. Ning Xiaoxian said with great interest: "What other news is available?"

"This man's name is Grass, and he doesn't have much information in his head, and he can read it in a few hours. After finishing speaking, Tu Duan closed his eyes, and after about a dozen breaths, he opened them again, and an unexpected light flashed in his eyes, "The origin of this small village is actually very interesting." ”

Tu Duan inherited the memory of Yin Jiuyou, so he knew that the time of the third act of heaven and earth was about 3,000 years after the Battle of Tuhe Valley. The battle was small but far-reaching, and it made the barbarians realize that it was difficult for each small tribe to fight alone against the powerful youkai. Therefore, after this battle, the annexation and dumping within the barbarians began, and countless small tribes disappeared from the southern Ganbu continent, and were replaced by the emergence and integration of medium-sized tribes and large tribes.

At this time, a powerful barbarian tribe arose in the southern frontier of the Southern Ganbu Continent, called the Liyuan Clan. It was originally guarding a geo-evil yin vein, supported by a strong evil qi, the clan's cultivation was progressing rapidly, and the clan was originally full of talents, so it didn't take long to start the mission of external expansion.

In the next 700 years, the Liyuan tribe annexed 23 barbarian tribes, large and small, by means of invasion, persuasion, and marriage, and their strength skyrocketed. The territory it ruled was equal to the sum of the seven states combined, and the number of its tribes reached a staggering 50,000.

The original tribe is the predecessor of one of the five major tribes of the barbarians on the eve of the ancient war.

However, after that, the expansion of the original tribe stopped, because further south, it was the territory of the Great Demon Xuanwu.

Xuanwu is the only giant demon among the four divine beasts that has a water army, and its strength has been showing since this time. At this time, Xuanwu's Taoism had reached the great consummation in the early stage of the tribulation, and with the help of the mountains and rivers, it was invincible on the battlefield; its fame, coupled with the strength of the original tribe, made many desperate monsters gather under its command to serve, and became a huge demon clan force rising on the coast of the South China Sea.

It occupies half the land territory of its original tribe.

The barbarians and the monsters bordered each other, how much conflict and friction would this create?

If this is the territory of other monsters, it may be possible to kill demons and seize land with the growing power of the original tribe, but don't forget, Xuanwu, who has the dual talents of water and earth, is a special case. The back garden of this guy includes the entire vast South China Sea and sea territory, which can advance and retreat, fight and run. It has not only land demons under its command, but also aquatic tribes in the sea, the so-called shrimp soldiers and crabs will be a basket. It's a true reflection of it.

Restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, except for the darlings of the Heavenly Dao such as the Dragon Clan, who can eat all the sea, land and air, the other demon clans in the sea are not able to fly in the air, but it is still no problem to walk on the ground. How many monsters are there in the sea? No one has been able to solve this mystery from ancient times to the present, so the number of demons under Xuanwu's command is so large and powerful that the Liyuan tribe is also jealous.

The Liyuan tribe is a headache for this neighbor.

The most important thing is. Xuanwu's old nest, Qisu Island, is on the sea! No matter how strong this tribe is. After all, barbarians are also land creatures, and if they want to fight against the Xuanwu Navy in the sea, the victory rate is properly and infinitely close to zero.

So. This situation has been stalemate for hundreds of years, and although the Xuanwu and Liyuan tribes are not in harmony, they have also coexisted.

Then look at the small village in front of everyone, the identity of the people in it is very special.

This small village calls itself the Fujia tribe. All the people of the clan have the surname Xu. Needless to say, the more than 200 inhabitants of the village are fragile mortals. However, they were under the noses of the Xuanwu Demon Army. It has been living in peace for more than 300 years. You know, the youkai of this period are also unfriendly to humans, and even more unbearable than barbarians, and most of the time they treat humans as food.

Therefore, the Xi clan was able to reproduce here. Of course, it was allowed by the big landlord Xuanwu. Not only did it explicitly order its demons not to harm the people of the Xi clan, but it also agreed that they would fish and hunt in the coastal waters, and there was only one thing - they were not allowed to approach the island at will.

In such a fragile age as humanity. What did the Xuan clan do to make Xuanwu treat him differently?

The doppelganger learned from the memories of the grass. The ancestor of the Xi clan was originally a slave of the original tribe, but he once saved the injured Xuanwu by chance. Compared with other monsters, Xuanwu, who had a more gentle temper, felt his kindness, so he gave the ancestor of the Xi clan a piece of tortoise shell and made a promise.

I don't know how many years passed, and the descendants of the Xi clan really annoyed their masters, and the foolish people who committed the crime were executed on the spot, and the others also saw the fate of Zhulian, so they remembered what their ancestors had said, and fled into the territory of Xuanwu at night.

In ancient times, the barbarians did not strictly supervise humans, because there was more danger outside the tribe, so the fugitive slave clan did not have much effort to cross the territory of the original tribe, and then took out the tortoise shell as a token, and Xuanwu also kept his promise and allowed them to live and live in their territory as free people.

Without the threat of youkai, no matter how difficult the conditions are, the survival of human beings is more secure, and the life of a free citizen is naturally much more comfortable than that of a slave. Therefore, the Xuan clan devoutly worshipped Xuanwuzun as their totem and named this small human tribe "Lucky Turtle".

That period of history was too long for a mortal with a short lifespan, and the details of it were long ago unknown to the generation of the grass, and only vaguely heard the elders of the clan say about it.

After the grass was finished, everyone was silent for a while. Although Kachiha has entered the third act of the world twice, there has always been a problem in communicating with the natives in the village, how can he know such a complete secret history?

With this grass, it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of the wood spirit in the village. The question now is, how will everyone enter the village of the Xuan clan? If you are wandering in the jungle for a long time, you will be arrested by the demon soldiers of Xuanwu sooner or later, and the consequences will be worrying. (To be continued)
