Chapter 170 All appearances are vain
Lin Yuan stood in front of the majestic White Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He called the mountain White Mountain because there was very little vegetation on the mountain, and everywhere it was gray-white stones, which shimmered in the sunlight.
But the Pangeng people don't call it that, they call this mountain a sacred mountain, this is the god they worship, their faith.
When Lin Yuan escaped from the cave back then, he was mistaken by Jiu Yao for a gift from this sacred mountain, so he called him a godsend.
However, now, in Lin Yuan's eyes, this mountain has another name:
"Mine".
Yes, since the discovery of tin ore here through the old man, Lin Yuan had personally explored the mountain for a whole day, and the results of the exploration were beyond his expectations, there were not only tin ore on this mountain, but also other metal minerals.
It is no wonder that, in itself, there are associated ores in many ores, and tin ore itself is the most common associated mine, where there is tin ore, there are often other ores.
However, due to the limitations of excavation tools, Lin Yuan could not explore deeply, but through his observation on the mountain, he had found several places where vegetation was sparse, and the color of the soil and stones there was obviously different from other places......
I don't know if it's a copper mine...... Or iron ore......
In any case, this mine is a treasure trove, a treasure trove that can drive the wheels of civilization!
Lin Yuan was standing in front of the mine at this time, and behind him stood a large number of Pangeng people......
Ever since he wounded that female warrior a few days ago and showed everyone the magical power of the bronze spear, everyone had completely surrendered to Lin Yuan and obeyed his words. And Jiuqiong also solemnly apologized to Lin Yuan, she no longer doubted Lin Yuan's motives and purposes, she completely believed that Lin Yuan had done so many things before, all for the development of this magical new weapon, and also for the development of Pangeng.
So she quickly returned the position of the big leader to Lin Yuan, and promised to never interfere with what Lin Yuan wanted to do again, giving Lin Yuan all the power.
After Lin Yuan resumed his position, the first thing he did was to ask Jiuqiong to go down this "sacred mountain".
When Jiuqiong heard Lin Yuan's request, she expressed surprise to Lin Yuan more than once, and she kept saying, "This is the root of our Pangeng clan!" This is our sacred mountain! Are you going to dig it? So how do we face our ancestors? ”
No matter what Jiuqiong said, Lin Yuan only replied to her in one sentence:
"If we don't do this, then the Pangeng clan will also be wiped out......"
In an instant, Jiuqiong lost her temper, this is indeed her weakness, just like her people, who yearn for dignity and are helpless.
However, Lin Yuan also accommodated the beliefs of the Pangeng clan to the greatest extent, because he understood that religion and belief were almost all spiritual sustenance for a primitive tribe, and he could not simply destroy them.
So, he needed a ritual.
Right now, he's doing it......
"Alas, if only Fu Xi were here now, aren't these things what he is best at......"
Lin Yuan was silently complaining in a very low voice, and the surrounding Pangeng clan listened with reverent expressions, they thought that Lin Yuan was reciting some miracle and casting words......
"All appearances are vain...... The sacred mountain in the eyes is also the ...... of the mine"
“…… All right! Lin Yuan suddenly straightened up, snorted, and said to Jiuqiong, who had been standing aside:
"The ceremony is complete, I have communicated with your mountain god, he understands the current situation of the Pangeng clan, he is willing to give this sacred mountain to the Pangeng clan, allowing us to obtain the miracles we need on it to kill our enemies!!"
There was silence all around.
Then Lin Yuan slowly turned around from the altar and said to everyone:
"The god of the mountain understands what people are worried about, and he has just told me in the language of God that the mountain is him, the stone is him, and the smelted metal is him! As long as we hold the weapons smelted on the sacred mountain and fight bravely to kill the enemy, we are expressing our devotion to the mountain god! Take up our arms! Receive the blessing of the mountain gods! Let our enemies tremble!! ”
Lin Yuan raised his arms and shouted.
After the audience was quiet for a moment, Hou Yi took the lead and shouted:
"Oooh oh!! Long live the mountain god! Long live King Yan!! ”
Immediately afterwards, the Sabah warriors behind him also began to shout:
"Ah...... Long live the king!! Long live the artifact!! ”
As if infected by the atmosphere, Jiuqiong also raised her slender arm and shouted:
"Mountain God Protection!! Let's fight bravely to kill the enemy!! ”
"Mountain God Protection!! Patriarch Protection!! The Great Boss Protects !! ”
The many Pangeng clans who had been silent around finally began to call out with Jiuqiong, and the voices of the people could not be stopped for a long time......
Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief......
The purpose of this ritual was to make the next mining go smoothly, and he didn't want another female warrior to resist...... Last time, the female warrior was still lying on the bed of the tribal witch doctor, but fortunately, she was only injured in the shoulder, and it should not hurt her life.
"God-given !!"
Suddenly, a voice like a silver bell came from a distance, it was Jiu Yao!
Lin Yuan hurriedly turned around and greeted Jiu Yao who ran from a distance with a slight smile.
She was also followed by a small group of female warriors, and everyone rushed over, and after bowing slightly in front of Jiu Qiong, they came to Lin Yuan.
"God! Oops, I'm still late, your opening ceremony is over? ”
Jiu Yao's flushed little face asked breathlessly.
Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, motioned for the other party to rest first, and then asked slowly:
"Jiu Yao...... You have worked hard, and as soon as you were released from the tent that day, I sent you out to find out the enemy's movements...... It's a bit impersonal......"
Jiu Yao said with a smile:
"God! What are you polite, I know, you must be in a hurry, otherwise you wouldn't have given the order in such a hurry...... Uh, that, I've got good news, so we don't have to rush too much! ”
The surrounding people looked at Jiu Yao one after another.
It turned out that after Lin Yuan regained the power of the big leader, the first thing he did was to ask Jiu Yao to take a bunch of scouts to track down the movements of the Luohe Clan, because he had to know when the Luohe Clan would attack, and know himself and the enemy in order to make the best strategic strategy.
Since the last time they defeated the Luohe Clan's attacking forces, they no longer have any news about the Luohe Clan, and now, they must know what position they are in as soon as possible......
"God, I took the scouts all the way, according to what you said, we slept during the day and hurried at night, and there was no trace of the enemy along the way, until we reached the boundary of the Luohe Clan......"
Lin Yuan nodded and motioned for Jiu Yao to continue.
"We found that they didn't seem to be sending troops...... Instead, we were scouring for supplies, and we tried to catch one of their farmers and finally hammered out some information...... It turned out that they were preparing for an expedition! They forcibly recruited all the people of the other vassal tribes in the south, and looted a large amount of war supplies, as if they had heard that they were going to prepare for an expedition......"
Lin Yuan nodded silently, and said softly to himself:
"Hmm...... Really...... It's a stratagem of the Huang clan...... Could it be that they plan to start an expedition directly and destroy the Pangeng ...... by the way? ”
"Huh? God-given, what do you say? ”
Jiu Yao looked at Lin Yuan quirkily, she knew that when Lin Yuan started talking to himself, it was often the time when something big was about to happen.
"Hmm...... I'm saying, we might really have to fight against the odds now......"
Lin Yuan paused, raised his voice, and said to the other clansmen:
"Everybody heard! The Luohe clan is not idle these days! They've gathered all the vassals' troops and scavenged for war supplies, and you all know what he's up to! He's going to the Central Plains, to conquer the tribes there! And our Pangeng clan is their only way, so they will lead a large army to attack in the near future! Moreover, this time, they came with the goal of exterminating us......"
As soon as Lin Yuan's words fell, the surrounding people let out a burst of frightened sounds.
"Sister Yao!" Jiuqiong quietly stood beside Lin Yuan and asked Jiu Yao:
“…… Sister Yao, have you paid attention to the Luohe Clan...... How many troops do they have? “
Jiu Yao sighed softly and said:
"I watched it...... I'm sorry, sister...... Their people...... It's really a lot...... I can't count them, the black valley is full of their people, at least ...... At least ten times more than us......"
"Oh my God!!"
Jiuqiong covered her mouth in surprise.
Lin Yuan gently patted Jiuqiong's shoulder and said confidently:
"Young Patriarch, don't worry! If it had been before, we would have lost this battle...... However, now it is different, we have bronze weapons! Everything is different than before! Believe me, with a higher-level weapon, we have an absolute advantage, and combined with the right tactics, not ten times the enemy, even twenty times the enemy, I am sure that we can win! ”
Jiuqiong nodded silently, as if with pleading eyes, looked at Lin Yuan, and said in a low voice:
"Great Chief, then please! Please...... I don't want our Pangeng clan to be wiped out......"
"No, it won't!" Lin Yuan smiled confidently.
Then he turned around and commanded Hou Yi:
"Hou Yi, we still have a few days to spare, these days, I want you to take all the Pangeng people, day and night, to build blast furnaces, smoke charcoal, open mountains for mining, and smelt alloys! Do you understand? This is our last time! In the end, you can make as many weapons as you can make!! ”
Hou Yi nodded vigorously, he understood the importance of the task at hand.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, looked up at the mine in front of him, and then said:
"In a moment, I'll give you a few drawings, and you can make a pottery mold according to that one first, and then smelt the bronze as soon as possible! Those are special designs and must be done in advance! “
Hou Yi nodded in acceptance, and then he thought for a while and asked curiously:
"King Yan, can I ask...... What exactly is that particular design? ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said:
"Since we have to fight against an enemy ten times our size, we need all our troops...... So, I need more bronze, and there must not be enough meteorites in that canyon! So, let's start with some tools...... That's where that particular design comes in, and we have to get the tools in place first, and get ready to ......"
Lin Yuan paused and announced loudly:
“…… Get ready to start mining! (To be continued.) )
