Chapter 3 Manifestation before men
"Sacrifice, sacrifice!"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
In the open space where the tribe was, the sudden shouting made the old priest who had just been distracted startled. Turning his head in the direction from which the sound came, he saw the people who were about to set off for a hunt.
"Priest, have you prayed for us?"
The sturdy man in the lead asked with a frown. However, after the god of the giant tree repeatedly showed miracles, praying to the gods before doing things and seeking protection from the gods has become a new habit of the tribesmen.
For the sacrifice, this was what he wanted to see. Because the more this is the case, the greater his authority in the tribe.
But when he thought of the strange dreams he had in the past two days, the old priest couldn't help but feel a little weak.
He knew he was a liar and had no ability to communicate with God. When God did show miracles, combined with the strange things he had encountered in the past two days, he began to feel uneasy.
Fear that if you continue to lie, you may incur God's punishment.
As a result, he often wandered away and ignored the prayer requests of his people.
Therefore, to the clansmen who were about to set off to hunt in front of him, the old priest just waved his hand and said, "Go, you will be safe." ”
“......”
"Okay, let's go. ”
The old priest had become more and more majestic, and the hunters, though suspicious, did not dare to offend him, so they turned and left. Now, he let the old priest sit on the stake with nothing to do, holding his head in a daze.
"Hah, are you scared?"
The space in front of him suddenly rippled like water, a man and a white wolf suddenly appeared, and the chaotic sounds from the tribe disappeared at once. The old priest cautiously raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see that the man was emitting a white light all over his body, and he could only distinguish men and women from his figure and voice, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
But the white wolf that followed him was a lap bigger than an ordinary jungle wolf. Majestic, the gods are abnormal.
The old priest didn't know the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, but he had seen this white wolf more than once. In the past two days, in his dreams, this white wolf has often appeared. And every time he appears, he must lie down at the altar set up for the god of the giant tree, like a guardian of the guardian god.
This is why the old priest is uneasy.
And now, seeing this divine horse white wolf again, and seeing this white wolf like a guardian of the gods, following behind a man so obediently, I have some guesses about the identity of this man who can't see clearly and is a little difficult to look at directly.
So he hurriedly lifted his ass from the stake, then lowered his head, and whispered with awe and fear, "You suddenly appeared here, saw what I was thinking, and let the white wolf follow you." Are you the god of the great tree?"
"Hah, god of the tree, you do call me that!"
Liang Tian nodded slowly, which was regarded as an acknowledgement. Seeing this, the old priest hurriedly knelt on the ground, and his face was buried in the soil, and his posture was so humble that he could not be more humble.
Although he often boasted in front of his clan that he had the ability to communicate with the gods, when the gods really appeared in front of him, the old priest was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
As the eldest of the tribe, he had encountered griffons and other monsters that had run from the depths of the forest to the edge of the forest to hunt for food. But those monsters were just more ferocious beasts in the eyes of the old priest, and there was no comparison to the god of the giant tree with incredible power in front of him.
And the old priest didn't speak, and Liang Tian, who sneaked into the old priest's dream while the old priest was asleep, didn't speak. It's not that I'm afraid of revealing my stuffing, but I want to maintain my unfathomable posture.
After all, he is pretending to be a "god", and it is best to say less.
Therefore, the two of them were in such a stalemate, until two or three minutes later, the sweaty old priest was almost out of breath, so he had to kneel on the ground and speak: "Great God of the Giant Tree, you have appeared in front of me, but do you have any orders?"
"Yes, I need you to do something for me. ”
Liang Tian nodded as a matter of course, "From tomorrow onwards, I need you to pray to me every day as the sun rises and sets. ”
"Yes, great god of the tree. Your will is my mission!"
"Yes"
Liang Tian couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, this old thing is an enlightened thing. It's not in vain that I've been working hard for the past two days, pretending to be a ghost to scare him.
Therefore, after the old priest agreed very well, he also said with a lofty attitude: "You are my believers, and to me, you are equivalent to an antelope in captivity."
If you pray to me with your heart, I will protect you from hunger and disease. ”
"Thank you, great god of the great tree, for your kindness. Although Liang Tian described them as antelopes in captivity at this moment, the old priest looked grateful at this moment.
It's not that the old priest is afraid of death and has good acting skills, but in the old priest's heart, things should be like this.
God is so high up that mortals who are small and sick are naturally worthy of being God's livestock. Isn't that the way it should be?
It was precisely because he understood that the old priest had such a cognition that Liang Tian would say so.
Now, looking at the old priest with a grateful look, he also waved proudly: "Come here, I will give you the knowledge to be free from disease." ”
After that, seeing the old priest walking on his knees, he gently put his hand on the forehead of the old priest.
Before the crossing, he had studied Chinese medicine and read the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Now after coming to this world, I can't help but find that the knowledge I have learned is not only engraved in my mind at one time, but also the types of plants and medicinal stones in this world are exactly the same as in the previous life.
It's really like the ancient earth with a little more fantasy.
So he briefly sorted out the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in his brain, and then taught the old priest the methods for treating common diseases such as wind and cold, diarrhea and bruises.
These are the simplest, most basic and most practical medical knowledge, which are not worth mentioning to Liang Tian, who is a traverser, but for the old priest, it is like being pushed open to the door to a new world.
Today, this tribe that believes in Liang Tian is really backward, and even a written word that can be used to pass on knowledge has not been invented. To this day, it is still at the point of closing the story and passing on the experience by word of mouth.
Living in such a tribal environment, even if the old priest is the eldest in the tribe, he does not know anything about medicine.
This is also the reason why the old priest is only in his forties, and he has become the oldest person in the tribe. It is really the tribesmen in the tribe who have no way to deal with the disease, and can only rely on their bodies to resist it.
Under such circumstances, the simple and practical medical knowledge imparted by Liang Tian was of immeasurable value to this tribe that believed in him.
Because of this, the old priest, who was taught and completely mastered this knowledge with the blessing of the power of faith, was also shocked for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Thank you, Great and Merciful God of the Tree!"
He raised his head from the ground in surprise, but there was still a trace of Liang Tian and the white wolf in front of him.
Then, there was another stirring in the surrounding space, and the old priest was so frightened that he suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that everything was just a dream!
