The patriarch sighed slightly, and he patiently explained in a different way, "Silly boy, the patriarch is going out too." What if something like this happened to me one day when I was away? But today everybody was doing very well, and if it weren't for the big bird, it would have been too powerful, and the average bird of prey would have been down a long time ago. ”

Zi Luo seemed to understand something, and nodded, "When I grow up, I must be better than them, and when the time comes, I will also take down these bad birds that have come to harm our village." ”

"Good boy, ambitious, grandpa is optimistic about you!"

And Jia Baoyu went to Shuigu to treat his injuries, and it didn't take long for him to get better. The village chief also showed the big bird he caught to the water girl, because this kind of mother is actually very common, but he has never seen such a big one, and he can actually catch things on the ground into the air out of thin air, so he is a little worried.

Shui Gu took out a sharp knife, made a cut on the big bird, picked up a little blood with the tip of the knife and put it in her mouth, and tasted it in her mouth, "This thing can be eaten without a problem, and it is also a big tonic, if you can eat it often, it will greatly improve everyone's physique, it is a rare thing." ”

Hearing what Shui Gu said, the patriarch was completely relieved, such a big bird, of course, is a rare delicacy for the clansmen.

The Qingshan patriarch ordered the big bird to be cleaned up, and its bones and feathers were retained, which were all rare materials, and after sacrificing to the mountain god, everyone began to cook.

If it is an ordinary food like some meat, it is generally necessary to eat it as soon as possible to prevent it from spoiling, because in such a place, all kinds of animals, although common, are extremely difficult to replenish with their strength. The so-called backing the mountain to eat the mountain, they use the meat to worship the mountain god first, this is not only a ritual, but also in this invisible worship, the meat seems to have undergone some changes, and his meat can be stored for a longer time.

This time Jia Baoyu's performance was the best, so he also got a lot of meat, and he ate it openly, eating meat and drinking soup, and the whole person suddenly felt refreshed and full of vitality.

In fact, what Shui Gu didn't tell everyone was that the reason why the meat of this big bird was delicious was because this big bird was not an ordinary bird of prey, but a bird of prey that had just advanced to a spirit beast, and once these animals turned into spirit beasts, they gradually opened up their spiritual intelligence. Generally speaking, spirit beasts are difficult to deal with, but this one has just been promoted to a spirit beast, and this is a chance for everyone to be careless, otherwise, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

After dark at night, Jia Baoyu lay on the bed, thinking about what had happened in recent days, and felt very strange.

At present, Jia Baoyu has been coming to this place for some days, he doesn't know what this place is, and he doesn't know why this place looks so primitive, in fact, in people's eyes, what chickens and ducks are very cherished, not to mention that they were in Zhengmen before, that is, those villages under this gate mountain are very common.

But if you want to say that these people are very primitive and backward, but it doesn't seem right, just like the sacrifices in this village, Jia Baoyu feels very weird, and it seems that he can really stir up a force in the dark. There is also the hand used by the Qingshan Patriarch today, and Jia Baoyu can't understand it at all.

It can be said that although this tribe is primitive, it reveals a certain mystery. Jia Baoyu had a lot of things to ask the white-bearded old man at this time, but it was the white-bearded old man who took the initiative to contact him and pull him into a strange world, and he didn't know how to find the white-bearded old man.

"Perhaps, this mysterious power in the primordial is the reason why the white-bearded old man let him come here!"

Thinking about these things in his heart, Jia Baoyu couldn't sleep anymore, so he ran to the Qingshan patriarch's house and was surprised to find that the old patriarch was fiddling with something.

I saw the old patriarch take out a saucer, and the dish was filled with oil, according to the habits of recent people's lives, Jia Baoyu estimated that it might be some sesame oil. There is also a twist made of grass in the dish, half of which is dipped in oil and half of which sticks out of the bowl.

Jia Baoyu understood at this time, this is clearly an oil lamp, but Jia Baoyu is a little puzzled, the people here work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they usually don't have the habit of lighting the lamp, what is this old patriarch fiddling with this oil lamp for?

Seeing Jia Baoyu's puzzled look on his face, the old patriarch nodded with a smile.

"Baoyu, I haven't seen it, it's normal that you haven't seen it, old man, I only learned about such things as oil lamps in this world many years ago. For example, in our village, we also have this kind of dishes, this kind of grass mill, and we also have sesame oil, but we never thought that these three things can be combined to make lamps and illuminate. ”

At the end, the old patriarch looked up at the window, and gradually muttered to himself, and his voice was so faint that Jia Baoyu couldn't hear it clearly.

"There were no lamps in this world, until someone combined these three things, and there were lights. That is to say, before this lamp appeared, there was already a lamp in the world, but for some reason, people could not see it and could not light it.

A simple oil lamp is still like this, but how many things exist in such a big world that we don't know? Many things have always existed whether we see them or not, whether we know them or not. ”

Jia Baoyu listened to the old patriarch's words, fell into deep contemplation, and was indeed quickly interrupted by the old patriarch.

"Baoyu, it's so late, what are you doing here to find me, is there anything wrong?"

Jia Baoyu then remembered the reason why he came, so he stepped forward and asked, "Why is this bird a little different today from the big bird I saw some time ago?"

In fact, the old team leader already knew that this was no longer an ordinary bird, but a spirit animal, and after a brief explanation, Jia Baoyu quickly understood.

"Actually, what I want to ask is the old patriarch, when that strange bird attacked me, what method did you use to cure that bird in the end? Why don't other people in this tribe have this ability, is this the exclusive ability of the patriarch?"

The old patriarch smiled and shook his head, "Kid, you are the opposite, it's not that I have this ability when I become the patriarch, but because I have this ability first, and then I become the patriarch." ”

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu was even more puzzled, could it be that this kind of ability is difficult to learn? Isn't it something that everyone can learn?

seemed to understand what Jia Baoyu was thinking, and thought about the village chief before speaking.

"What do you say? This kind of thing is not born with it, and not everyone can learn it, it takes some talent and luck, just like the oil lamp I just said, everyone has a bowl of sesame oil and twisted seeds, but there are very few people who can think of composing it into a lamp, I say so, do you understand?"

Jia Baoyu nodded with some understanding, and was soon sent out by the old patriarch.

Not long after taking Jia Baoyu away, a slender figure walked in and came to the old patriarch's room, and there was almost no sound. The light reflected a young face, it was a beautiful woman, this person was none other than the village water girl.

"Why did you suddenly remember to light the lamp?" asked the water girl softly.

The arrival of the reservoir, the old patriarch was not surprised at all, and his eyes followed the light to the woman's face, "Because only under the light can I see your face clearly." ”

It's just that the meaning of these words is a little strange, if you want to see Aunt Qingshui's face, why do you have to light the lamp? Can't you see clearly during the day?

The two were silent for a moment, and the old patriarch spoke, "That kid from Baoyu came in just now and asked some questions I used to ask. ”

Shui Mushroom said lightly, "I was outside just now, and I heard it too, this kid is a descendant of the Daming clan, and he should understand a lot of things, but I don't know when his memory will be restored." But even if he regains his memory, will he really understand?"

"I think how long it took us to scrap it at the beginning, and then we understood what kind of existence the mountain god was, and only then did we understand what the magic power was. ”

Hearing this, the old patriarch also sighed, "Yes, they don't even understand such a thing as the postal service, how can they understand such a mysterious thing? Maybe in this world, we just know too little and have not discovered it." ”

"I didn't expect that in this kind of place, I could actually encounter demon beasts, and it is estimated that the demise of the Daming clan should be inseparable from them. ”

Shui Gu also continued, "The reason why we have been living in this place and never leaving the lid is because our ancestors took these things into account when they chose to live in a group of people. Our current place is backed by mountains and water, there are prey on the mountain to eat, and there is a clear spring next to it to drink, and this place is peaceful and rarely disasters occur, and there is no retail invitation to haunt, it is a rare pure land. ”

The old patriarch sighed, "Yes, it has been almost a hundred years since I can remember, and nothing like this has ever happened. Is it just that what is happening today is an accident? Or is it a symptom?"

Shui Gu shook her head, "I don't dare to say this, in fact, in this big mountain, it is normal to occasionally encounter demon beasts." In more than 100 years, we have never met once, and I think it is a little strange. But don't worry too much, the current strength of the tribe is no longer as good as it was a hundred years ago. ”

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that it was obviously a bad sign. That big bird was not the prey it encountered as usual, and it was not something that ordinary people could deal with. It is a kind of demon beast that can be cultivated with an open spiritual intelligence, and a demon beast like this has learned to think and judge, and generally speaking, it will not choose to attack an inhabited tribe. For them, neither people nor livestock in the tribe are their food, and there is no need to take such a big risk.

Some of the prey in this barren mountain range are, both in terms of size and threat, humans are not their best choice. There is a surprise in everything, unless they choose to attack purposefully after judgment. Although this kind of thing is rare, once it happens, it is often a terrible disaster, such as the demise of the Daming clan this time, it is very likely that this group of demon beasts is the ghost.
