Chapter 453: Stone Tablet
Ye Xi played with the cubs for a long time.
It's a fun time to skate like I've never had before.
Although the water surface of the Black Ridge Mountains used to freeze during the rainy season and the surrounding area was full of natural skating rinks, there are many prehistoric water monsters lurking under the calm and open snow-white ice.
People are afraid of water, of ice, to the point of not daring to approach even a step.
It's not cowardice.
If there is too much movement on the ice, the huge prehistoric water monster may indeed break through the ice and swallow the person with its mouth open.
And the sky, where hungry pterosaurs hover all the time, looking at the ground with green eyes.
But here it is different.
Except for the star algae, there are some safe fish in the star lake, no creature can resist breaking ice and attacking people, and even the sky has no fierce birds or pterosaurs that dare to stay.
So it's very safe.
Behind this precious security is the joint efforts of everyone.
Heavy snow, sunny days, giant buzzards, and hundreds of falcon birds of the Falcon tribe, these war beasts of Xicheng, and the warriors guarding the airspace of Xicheng are always guarding the airspace of Xicheng and protecting the children who play.
Human warriors are strong, but human cubs are defenseless.
Ye Xi knew that in many tribes, in the past, there were always children who were taken away by fierce birds, pecked open their tender bellies, ate meat, and pecked at their internal organs.
When I was in the Tushan tribe, this happened once.
A flock of rockpeckers once attacked the tribe.
The beak of the rock is extremely hard, and it can easily peck through trees and even rocks, pecking through the bones of its prey, and it is a difficult bird to deal with.
The attack was so sudden that everyone didn't have time to hide in the cave, and a little boy, who was only two years old, was captured by a rock in the chaos.
By the time the warriors found it, the little boy's flesh had been half eaten by the rockpecker, and brown blood was flowing all over the branches, and he looked so miserable that he couldn't bear to look at it.
Seeing the little boy's mutilated body with his own eyes, sadness and anger were not enough to describe Ye Xi's feelings at that time.
He only felt a rush of blood rush straight to his head, and in an instant, his ears buzzed, and his eyes were bloodshot.
And the rockpecker, after eating his own fill, was taking the little boy's meat in his mouth, lovingly feeding his young.
A nest of rockpecker chicks is fed round and cute.
However, their beaks were stained with the little boy's blood.
At that time, Ye Xi made a dead hand, he was covered in blood, and together with several soldiers, he killed all the nearby rock, and for the first time, he didn't even leave the chicks.
Birds protect their cubs, why don't they humans protect their cubs!
Birds and beasts often give birth to several babies at a time, but human offspring have to work hard to conceive for ten months, and women risk their lives to give birth to such a one.
However, the offspring obtained with such difficulty did not have the slightest resistance when they were young, but they were several beasts in one litter, but they could run when they landed, and the birds could fly and hunt in a few months......
It's too hard for humans to reproduce.
Thankfully, it's not the same as it used to be.
Xicheng's strength is not comparable to that of the Tushan tribe.
Some time ago, a group of pterosaurs flew through the Star Lake and wanted to attack the children playing on the ice.
The fierce birds of Xicheng suddenly flew out from all directions, joining forces to attack these pterosaurs, and the black-pressed warriors rushed out, holding spears and bows and arrows, and bravely shot the pterosaurs.
The carcass of the pterosaur fell like rain.
None of the children were injured.
......
Ye Xi took off his skates, said goodbye to the children with a smile, and continued to walk in Xicheng.
In the cold wind and snow.
Five tall and quaint stone monuments stand prominently in front of them.
At the foot of the stele, people dressed in bloated animal skin clothes were huddled together, looking up at the stele with their heads tilted, and their eyes could be called reverent.
Walking closer, you can see that both sides of the stele are engraved with dense square words, and if you look closely, it is clearly the Xicheng Code written by Ye Xi some time ago.
These huge stone tablets were carved out by the craftsmen of the carving tribes such as armor and pan for a long time, according to the laws on the parchment scrolls.
They didn't know how to write, so they tried their best to imitate Ye Xi's font, and each line was carved very neatly and squarely, although there was no pen edge, but they could clearly identify what the words were.
As soon as the stele was completed, many people braved the cold every day to watch.
Everyone was in awe and loved these five stone tablets.
In winter, heavy snow and light snow continue, whenever the snow falls on the stele, everyone will actively wipe it off in time, even if the snow is high in the sky, there are warriors who rely on their strong jumping ability to clean them, so that the stele is always neat and clean.
At the foot of the stele, Shan Ye tilted his head and muttered: "I never thought that the first time I saw the words, I would see so many ...... at once."
Turkey was a little frustrated: "But I can't read a word." ”
Shan Ye patted him on the shoulder and gestured with one hand: "I can't understand it either, but every time I see so many dense and complex words, I feel shocked!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Hearing Shan Ye's words, everyone agreed.
Shan Ye sighed: "Lord Xiwu can create such a regular and complex text, I really don't know what Lord Xiwu can't!"
Ye Xi's ears are good, and before he got closer, he heard Shan Ye's words, and hurriedly explained in a loud voice: "Don't get me wrong, this text was not created by me. ”
"Lord Xiwu!"
The people at the foot of the stele saluted.
There were a few slaves of the Pig tribe not far away, and they immediately wanted to leave when they saw Ye Xi coming.
Ye Xi noticed them and glanced at them, and these slaves immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to move.
He thought to himself, after the winter, these slaves always shrank in the cave, easily immovable, but he didn't expect them to be attracted by the stone tablet and run outside the cave to look at the dictionary.
Shan Ye asked Ye Xi in surprise: "You said, this text was not created by you, who created it?"
Except for Ye Xi, who else has such a great ability.
Could it be the legendary Xia Cangzu Witch? But if it was created by Xia Cangzu Witch, then why didn't the people of the Xia tribe know it?
Ye Xi didn't answer immediately.
It was impossible for him to say the things of the previous life, and after thinking about it, he said, "The person who created this name is called Cangjie. ”
"Cangjie?"
The crowd muttered the name.
Shan Ye wanted to ask Cangjie's story again, but he was keenly aware that Ye Xi didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask again, but changed the topic and pointed to the outermost two stone tablets.
"Lord Xiwu, why are there two blank stone tablets here?"
Ye Xi: "The legal code of Xicheng is not perfect, if everyone feels that there is anything that needs to be added in the future, with the consent of more than half of the chiefs and witches in Xicheng, the new code can be written on the blank stone tablet." ”
Shan Ye hissed: "...... How can we think of this codex, Lord Xiwu overestimates us too much!"
Ye Xi smiled: "Never underestimate yourself, and don't underestimate others, there will definitely be new codes added in the future." ”
The turquoise came over: "Lord Xiwu, we haven't learned to read yet, and we can't understand any of the above, can you tell us a few, and we will pay attention to it in the future." ”
Ye Xi: "It's simple. ”
Don't look at the dense words on the stone tablet, in fact, there are only more than 200 codes in total, and it doesn't take much effort to read them all.
Ye Xi's clear voice slowly sounded in the light snow: "Article 1 of the Xicheng Code ......"
While listening to Ye Xi read the codex, everyone stared at the words on the stone tablet with wide eyes, trying to memorize all these unfamiliar square words.
