After last night's bonfire party, early the next morning, the four chiefs of the Bai tribe, the Tu tribe, the Youchao clan, and the Zhu Dan clan prepared to leave early.

The chieftains of the Tu and Bai tribes exchanged a large number of prey for about 50 pieces of pottery, which were of different shapes, some high and some low.

One of the pottery, so that the Turkish chief regarded as a treasure, that is, he once left a fingerprint of the pottery, unexpectedly, he pressed the fingerprint on the clay clay, after firing, the result was still left on the clay pot, the Turkish chief was elated, immediately said that he wanted to use this clay pot as a tribal heirloom.

The three chiefs of the Bai clan, the Youchao clan, and the Zhu Dan clan also received some exquisite small gifts, or small pottery figurines that could be used as decorations, except for the patriarch Zhu Dan who still had a tense face, the remaining two chiefs were naturally elated and happy.

No need to spend prey for pottery, no matter how big or small, is naturally the better.

Lin Yuan just smiled faintly, appropriately giving the counterparty some small sweetness, but in exchange for a more stable trade relationship, this business experience, he is familiar with it.

Through this transaction, the Yan people obtained enough wild boar, pheasant, hares and other wild prey from the hands of the Bai and Tu people, many of which are living animals, if they continue to try to breed in captivity, it should be enough to form a stable population, and gradually realize the domestication of domestic animals.

At the same time, the Bai and Tu tribes each left a young boy as an apprentice of Fuxi, learning the belief of the god of fire and striving to become a qualified fire watcher, so as to pass on the miracles to their tribe.

The Youchao clan didn't say anything, but just conveyed the desire to find a chance to cooperate in the future, but the weird patriarch Zhu Dan, when he left, asked the Youchao clan to pass the word on his behalf, telling Lin Yuan that after the 30th, he would come over with the promised captives to trade.

Lin Yuan naturally agreed, no matter whether the Zhu Dan clan could really keep its promise, at least, the Yan clan would not suffer.

After sending off a few chiefs, about two torches burned for about a while, a few black shadows lurking in the grass rushed to Lin Yuan's big tent to rest, bowed, and said loudly:

"King Yan, according to your request, we followed those four alien races 500 steps away, and sure enough, as King Yan expected, at the bend of the Dajing River, there were a large number of people of different races, and they set up camp there."

It was none other than Big Tooth who came to report, he was Lin Yuan's sentry that had been arranged in the distance the day before, monitoring these barbarians.

Sure enough, these barbarians came with a large number of people, presumably these chiefs are not stupid, go deep into the hinterland of the wasteland, and really don't have the courage to bring a few thousand people, it seems that if these chiefs encounter danger in the Huadu of the Yan tribe, their alien warriors will soon come to rescue their chiefs.

There was just one thing that Lin Yuan didn't understand.

"Do you see which tribe those people belong to? Molar? “

Lin Yuan leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Most of them are wearing yellow and white deerskins, and they don't look like the primitive people at the mouth of the valley, I guess ......."

"I guess it's from the Zhu Dan tribe." Lin Yuan concluded, yes, he suddenly remembered that Patriarch Zhu Dan seemed to be wearing a deerskin beast robe.

It seems that this Zhu Dan clan is really not easy to deal with, the strength is really strong, and there is not much fear of the wilderness, and he actually dares to lead a large army into the hinterland, this person must not be underestimated.

Lin Yuan muttered to himself for a while, then let Big Tooth leave, walked out slowly, and began to think.

Before he knew it, he had walked to the Fire Temple, which at this time had been completely completed by the labor of slaves, and the huge red pillars set off the solemn hall.

In the center of the lobby, next to a blazing sacred fire, Fu Xi, dressed in red, was squatting on the ground with Anna to study something.

"The chiefs are finally gone?" Anna found Lin Yuan, raised her head, and asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan said lightly: "Yes, the transaction is completed, they should also leave, with the food they sent, as long as the transaction can continue, our food will not have to worry...... By the way, what are you doing? ”

Lin Yuan approached Fu Xi and Anna and found them writing and drawing on the ground.

Seeing Lin Yuan approaching, the two hurriedly stood up, Fu Xi lowered his head humbly, and said:

"May the flame shine on you forever, the Great Spokesperson of the Fire God...... It's Chief Anna who is teaching me how to write......"

"Oh?" Lin Yuan was a little curious, he had discussed with Anna the idea of teaching these primitive people before, but unfortunately the intelligence of primitive people in this period had not yet developed to a certain level, and it was very difficult to learn, and there were many things they needed to deal with, so it didn't take long for them to give up.

"Can Fu Xi learn?" Lin Yuan asked at Anna.

Anna looked excited and said:

"That's right! You see, Ah Fu's IQ seems to be significantly higher than others, although he usually looks a little silly, but his comprehension ability is very high! You see, he wrote it, I just taught it! ”

Lin Yuan leaned down and stared at the scratches on the ground, the first word was the crooked "fire", the second word was a simple "person", and the third word was the word "volt".

"I just taught him the basics, and now I'm trying to teach him how to write his name." Anna said happily, "It seems that Ah Fu really has this talent, and he will learn it as soon as he learns it." ”

Fu Xi had a shy expression on his face and said modestly:

"This is what Chief Anna taught, and it is really good that we can write the mantra on the ground so that we don't forget it...... But if only it could be preserved, oh, by the way, it could be carved into stone......"

Lin Yuan nodded, he looked at Fu Xi's eyes, and pondered for a moment, this young man's future is really limitless, at a young age, he has a etiquette ability that is much higher than that of other primitive people, and let him be the first fire watcher of this Fire Temple, in fact, it is also Lin Yuan's whim, since they were in the wilderness at that time, Lin Yuan used the wolf king's heart sachet made by Ah Fu to repel the wolves, he became interested in this son of the chief of the Shennong clan, and wanted to reuse Ah Fu.

Originally, he just wanted Ah Fu to be the temporary caretaker of the Fire Temple, first as an idle position, and then to find an opportunity to cultivate. But what Lin Yuan didn't expect at all was that Fu Xi could play such a competent role, it seemed that he really believed that there was a god of fire in the world, and his life was to serve the god of fire.

This spiritual power...... This potential ......

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and Fu Xi ...... Fuxi ......

Don't?

Anna also noticed the change in Lin Yuan's expression, and when she wanted to ask something strangely, Lin Yuan suddenly said:

"Fuxi, you're learning to write your own name, aren't you?"

"Yes, King Yan, I just learned to volt, that's how it is written......" Fu Xi took the branch and gently drew the word "volt" on the ground.

Lin Yuan nodded, also picked up the branch, bent down on the ground and slowly wrote a more complex word, he wrote very slowly, stroke by stroke, as if he intended to let the other two learn how to write.

Anna curled her mouth, looked at Lin Yuan's strokes, and muttered, "This is ...... Sheep...... No...... Righteousness...... No, no......"

After Lin Yuan wrote the last stroke, he straightened his waist, took a deep breath, looked into Anna's eyes, and said:

"This is Xi!"

On the ground, following the word "Fu" is the character "Xi".

Fu Xi looked at these two words, and muttered in his mouth: "Fu Xi...... Fuxi ...... Is this how my name is written? ”

Lin Yuan nodded, his gaze just met Anna, and Anna said:

"Fuxi !??"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and said lightly:

"This ...... Maybe it's fate, what we met is Fuxi! Teach him well! Anna, the future of our civilization, perhaps, he will be a vital stroke! ”

After speaking, Lin Yuan slowly turned around and left, leaving a stunned Fu Xi, he pulled the red animal skin clothes, crossed his hands on his chest, and muttered:

"Thank you, King Yan...... May the flame shine on you forever......"

After leaving the temple, Lin Yuan found karma and went to inspect several experimental fields at the back of the hills.

It is said to be a test field, this is actually Lin Yuan's own name, in fact, it is just a few small vegetable gardens dug out of the swamp, but although it looks no different from an ordinary swamp from a distance, but after getting closer, Lin Yuan found some differences.

According to Lin Yuan's request, Ye had arranged slaves, dug some loess on the hills to fill up part of the swamp, and then set fire to the weeds, and dug some small pits with stone spear bone blades, which were densely packed, although they were not as neat as the ploughs used in later generations, they also looked quite large-scale.

Lin Yuan approached and found that under the careful cultivation of the slaves, there were several small pits in the experimental fields, and small shoots had appeared, and a touch of emerald green appeared in the black and yellow soil, like a few small green hands waving in the wind, which was particularly endearing.

Lin Yuan nodded happily, he knew that this was millet, a seed that was found from the dead enemies in the mountains, but he didn't expect that it was really planted! Although the quantity is small, it will surely form a scale after several rounds of cultivation.

"Yes, you will be responsible for these farmlands! Remember, all the fruits that come out of the plant must be recovered, and not a single one can be lost! We're going to collect it and sow it all in the coming year! Until a large swamp, all of which are the farmland of my Yan tribe! Do you understand? ”

Ye nodded seriously, and then suddenly said to Lin Yuan as if he remembered something:

"Lord Yanwang, there are some beans on the other side, it seems that they grow faster than this millet, is this the same operation?"

Lin Yuan slowly nodded in agreement, and then said:

"Yes, karma, you have to remember that what we have in our hands now is something that can solve the problem of the future food of our civilization, we must be careful and careful! The seeds sown in the first batch must not be wasted, and all of them must be allowed to be sown for the second time......"

After taking the order to leave, Lin Yuan walked around the periphery of Huadu, walked to the platform on the south side, and inspected the prey brought by the Tu and Bai tribes, where more than a dozen slaves were about to separate and cut the skins, meat, and bones of the dead prey, and piles of animal skins were hung on straw ropes and dried in the wind to make clothes and tents.

Then the meat is also hung on the straw rope, and then a bunch of small bonfires are lit below, and the meat pieces are smoked with thick smoke, and after the meat pieces are smoked and dried, they can naturally be preserved for a long time, which is the earliest method of preserving meat by primitive people.

In the end, the slaves picked out the bones that were larger or better shaped, and handed them to the hunters of the Yan tribe, who made them into bone blades, bone knives, bone needles and other tools according to their own needs.

At the back of the slaughtering site, there are several fence rings surrounded by tree stumps, which are respectively enclosed wild boars, pheasants, hares and other wild animals in the mountains, with the impact of the Zheng Jing incident back then, so it is not only the slaves who are arranged to be in charge of guarding here, but also more than a dozen Yan hunters specially arranged by the blade, Lin Yuan has already ordered, they all understand the importance of these animals.

If some time passes, perhaps, these wild animals can be domesticated and turned into domestic animals, and at that time, the Yan people can obtain a complete source of food, and only in this way will the population of the tribe grow massively and civilization can develop.

After all the key units were inspected, Lin Yuan finally returned to the Fire Divine Temple, at this time the sun was already setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on this sacred hall.

Anna had already left, and now, in the temple, there were only two apprentices from Fuxi, Bai and Tu who had been sent to learn the miracles of the god of fire.

Lin Yuan didn't disturb the other party, just stood aside quietly, listening to Fu Xi's admonition to the two:

"May the flame shine on you! Under the protection of your ancestors, you will have the privilege of being chosen by God to serve the great Lord of the Gods, the God of Fire! ”

Fu Xi's voice was very low, and he spoke very slowly, but there was a sense of majesty in his words, and under the light of the raging fire, Fu Xi's figure reflected a cold silhouette.

The two apprentices immediately knelt down on their knees, their faces pressed against the cold floor, and their mouths kept repeating the words.

At this time, the hall was unusually quiet, only the crackling sound of the holy flame burning, and then the words recited by the apprentices, Lin Yuan adjusted his breathing slightly, trying not to affect their ritual.

You must know that although Lin Yuan put forward the idea of establishing a fire watcher, he did not deliberately interfere with Fu Xi in anything, especially about beliefs, miracles or anything, he did not give Fu Xi too many restrictions, he only made three points clear to Fu Xi:

First, the god of fire is real, King Yan is the spokesperson of the god of fire, and pottery, taking fire, etc. are all miracles of the god of fire. It is necessary to believe this, and only by sincerely believing in the god of fire will you get more miracles.

Second, the divine power of the god of fire, need to rely on the faith of many believers, the more believers, the greater the divine power of the god of fire, as the earliest awakened fire watcher, the development of believers, spreading faith is the most important way to serve the god of fire, only let the whole world believe in the god of fire, the fire watcher can realize their own value to the god of fire.

Third, in the world, only the spokesperson of the god of fire can communicate directly with the god of fire, and all believers must completely obey the orders of the first fire watcher, and the first fire watcher must obey the orders of the fire king, otherwise, they will suffer the curse of the fire god.

The above three points were told to Fu Xi by Lin Yuan before the visit of the alien chieftain, and Fu Xi also listened carefully to Lin Yuan's teachings, he completely believed what Lin Yuan said, and thought that he was the first person chosen by the Fire God to watch the fire.

In addition, Lin Yuan did not rigidly restrict Fu Xi's request for the worship of the Fire God.

It's all up to you.

This is Lin Yuan's expectation of Fu Xi.

And Fu Xi did not live up to Lin Yuan's expectations, after meditating on the fire for a few days, he lit a fire in the temple, called it the holy fire, and then created a ritual as a sacrifice to the fire god.

According to Lin Yuan's analysis, these rituals of Fuxi should have borrowed from the sacrificial processes of the Shennong, Xi, and Withered Tree tribes that he had lived and contacted to varying degrees, so everything was very natural under his operation.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't tell him the secret of the clay, so that he really thought that only the holy fire of the Yan clan could burn clay into pottery, and the key was fire, not clay.

This was Lin Yuan's strategy.

Now, Lin Yuan was looking forward to Fu Xi once again showing him the genius side of religious faith, that is, how to treat these two new believers.

These two people should also be Fuxi's first batch of apprentices.

After reciting the words, Fu Xi circled around the sacred fire a few times, then pulled out a burning wooden stick, blew out the flames, and gently placed the red charcoal fire on the right arm of the two apprentices, and tapped it twice.

With the sound of burning skin, two faint puffs of green smoke floated up, and the two apprentices endured the pain and insisted on not making a sound, and the burning wooden stick left two oval scars on the arms of the two apprentices.

"Feel the bathing of the Holy Fire, O fortunate Ones of the Fire God, from this day forward you will no longer have your own name, no more your own tribe, and no more your ignorant beliefs...... From this day forward, you are the holy firewatchers, and the only thing you need to be loyal to is the god of fire, and the only thing you need to serve is the god of fire...... Only by believing in the god of fire, and spreading the faith to all those you know and those you do not know, will you be able to gain the favor of the god of fire, you will have the opportunity to use miracles, and you will enter the temple of the god of fire after death and receive eternal life!! ”

After speaking, Fu Xi stretched out his hands, tilted his head to the sky, and then crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed slightly, and completed the entire ceremony.

"May the flame shine on you, ...... the firewatchers"

"May the flame shine on you forever, the first one to see the fire......"

The two pious firewatchers replied.
