055, hexagram (II)

The situation in the Central Valley Tiger Wa had already known the Dao, and had seen and heard about it in those divine thoughts imprinted in the mountain god's mind, but it was the first time she had personally entered it. In the past ten years, this wilderness has indeed changed a lot, people have received new crop seeds from the Ba Yuan, learned to make newer agricultural tools, cultivated more fields, and built irrigation facilities that have never been seen before.

The crops planted by the people are not only hemp and beans, but also through large wheat fields. There are two types of "wheat" grown here. Bounded by the central valley, in the valley and on lower ground, wheat is grown, with clusters of slender leaves, heading and grain, long and short.

As you go higher up in the central valley, it is no longer suitable for the growth of wheat, and people grow another crop that looks very similar but has obvious differences, short ears and long mangs, called barley. The seeds of wheat and barley and their cultivation methods were all imported from Ba Yuan. In fact, barley is not cultivated on the Ba Yuan, but there are many plateaus around it, where there is barley, and the seeds are brought by caravans.

Huwa saw the people of various tribes, the bustling bazaars, and many firstborn and double-horned Jiaorong people coming and going, and everyone was already surprised. What attracts people's attention the most is the dog next to the tiger baby who spreads its legs and walks upright like a human.

I think that in the confrontation between the military formations in the Central Valley, Pan Gu appeared in the first place, but many people saw this legendary dog for the first time. There were many people who greeted Shan Ye and Zhong Zhuang, and their tone was very respectful and enthusiastic, and some people also asked who the children in the team were. Zhong Zhuang replied - he is the tiger baby of our Lu Village.

Someone was surprised and said, "Tiger baby! Is he the tiger baby who used stone eggs to shoot a lot of birdmen?"

Although Shan Ye had ordered that the tiger baby should not be told about cultivation, his name still reached the ears of the tribesmen in the Central Valley after all. It is said that this child has been fond of playing with stone eggs since he was a child, and the stones were smashed very accurately, and when Gu Xin led the soldiers to fight against the Yu people that day, he also rushed out of the house and smashed many birdmen with stone eggs.

In the process of circulation, the various stories in the wilderness will always be exaggerated and tinged with a certain supernatural color. The same is true of the story of the tiger baby. Nowadays, there are also many people living in the central valley, and children often get together to play a game of throwing stones, and some children will say: "No matter how accurate the stones and eggs you throw are, they are far worse than tiger babies!"

Of course, these are unintentional words, and they are not considered to reveal the secrets of Tiger Baby's cultivation. But other children will ask how accurately the tiger baby's stone eggs are hit, and the children in Lu Village will also blow more and more energetically.

These are all wild and wild news, and they have not attracted people's attention for the time being, and even Xin Shu did not go out of his way to investigate. The tiger baby was still young, and Xin Shu didn't realize that such a child would have any special magical powers, thinking that he was just a stone that hit a few birdmen in that battle.

But today, the mountain lord brought the tiger baby to the central valley. When people saw the child, they brought up the original rumors and talked about them curiously. Seeing this situation, Shan Ye also knew in his heart that the secret of Tiger Baby's cultivation would be impossible to hide sooner or later. He had already openly revealed his supernatural powers in front of so many people, and the younger he was at the beginning, the more noticeable he would be in the future.

After resting in the Central Valley for another night, and finally it was time to leave, the mountain master personally sent the team to Shanshui Pass the next day, telling Zhong Zhuang to hurry as quickly as possible. The team in front has been on the road for half a month. Before Lord Xin Shu arrived in the national capital, Zhong Zhuang had to catch up with them with the second batch of things and join them.

Everyone rested in Shanshui Pass for a while, and the mountain master called the tiger baby aside alone, and quietly said in a divine voice: "Child." Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Huwa also held her voice and said, "I've been thinking about some questions for the past two days, what kind of person is the mountain god? How did he become the mountain god here? What is the so-called mountain god?"

Ruoshan replied, "After you break through the Six Realms, you may have some understanding. The mountain god should have left a lot of secrets in the heart seal of the gods. …… The so-called mountain gods are not really gods, nor are they just an identity. It should also be a kind of cultivation and a symbol. ”

Huwa said: "The mountain god has been completely silent, in fact, in my opinion, for today's tribesmen, you are the real mountain god here." ”

……

When Huwa followed Zhong Zhuang and the others to leave Shanshui Pass, Ruoshan was still pondering what the child said the most. For the tribes of the wilderness, in the past ten years, their living conditions and living environment have changed too much, and the priests of the various tribes have gradually become accustomed to the silence of the mountain gods, although they are still leading the tribes to sacrifice to the mountain gods.

Now to guide and protect the people of all tribes, the people who do what the mountain god has done and what the mountain god has not done are the city lord of Shanshui City.

People don't have to think much about what would happen without the mountain god, but without Wakayama, it was something that the newly formed alliance could not imagine. In a sense, the current mountain lord is their real mountain god, although Ruoshan lives among them and does not have the identity of a god.

If hundreds of years later, Shanshui City and the Shanshui clan are still there, then Ruoshan will also be admired and worshiped by future generations, giving him the color that only some gods have.

When the mountain is meditating in the Shanshui Pass, the tiger baby is looking back at the steep Xiongguan on the winding mountain road outside the Shanshui Pass. On a boulder inlaid directly above the city gate of Shanshui Pass, the totem of Shanshui City is engraved, and it is composed of several simple lines. Each city has its own totem, and the symbol of Shanshui City is painted by Ruoshan after consulting the mountain god, which is also related to Emperor Taihao.

When Emperor Taihao was the emperor, he used to draw eight kinds of runes with the simplest combination of yin and yang lines, which can not only be used to count, but also symbolize the sky, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountain, Ze and everything in the world, the meaning is all-encompassing, and it is called gossip. Ruoshan borrowed the combination of eight trigrams, with two runes of mountain and water as the symbol of Shanshui City, up the mountain and down the water, engraved in front of the Shanshui Pass.

What is the meaning of this totem? It is difficult to describe but can be experienced, it contains all the information that Shanshui City has appeared in the world from scratch, it is not only a symbol of people coming from the era of ignorance and barbarism, but also a symbol of a person's process from young ignorance to maturity, and gradually begin to learn everything in the world.

When the tiger baby retracted her gaze, turned around and walked to the front, she took out a sign from her arms, which was the token of the Xiangmuro Guogong, with totem marks on both sides.

On the front is the totem of the Somuro Kingdom, with lines like a sinuous snake that seems to have human-like forearms and upper body, which requires a certain amount of imagination to see. Therefore, the totem of Pakistan is such a strange snake pattern or dragon pattern, after Ba Yuan was divided into five countries, all countries claimed to be orthodox in Pakistan, and their totems were also such a snake pattern, but each had subtle differences.

Looking at the reverse side of the brand, there are also a few simple stripes carved into it, and the combined shape is like a beating and burning flame. Its meaning needs to be understood, it represents the fire used by people to process various utensils, and then symbolizes the co-work that can refine various utensils for people. Such a special brand, with its totem combination on the front and back, represents the identity of the Xiangmuro Guogong Adult.

The pan gourd beside the tiger baby is no longer walking upright at the moment, but he is not running wildly on all fours, and he seems to be a little uncomfortable.

This is also the order of the mountain god, after leaving this wilderness, Pan Gu should also pay attention to his behavior, and the dog must have the appearance of a dog, not to be too surprising. If it regards itself as a person, then it will work hard and cultivate hard, and when it cultivates in the future to break through the four realms and become a dog demon that can truly transform into a shape, then it can walk the world with the face of a human being.

The mountain god also solemnly told the tiger baby to protect the pan gourd no matter what, never let it have an accident, and to help and guide its cultivation, and made the tiger baby make an oath.

The team led by Zhong Zhuang was all elite warriors who had trained to open the mountain, because of the order of the mountain lord, they traveled very fast, and it took more than ten days for ordinary caravans to reach Ba Yuan, and they only took four days.

On the way, they also passed through several post stations, and spent the night resting in them, even if they were trained to open the mountain, they were not suitable for traveling in the dark. They met a caravan bound for Shanshui City at the post station, carrying goods of cattle and horses. The tiger baby also patted the horns of the cows, touched the manes of the horses, and talked a lot to the livestock.

The cow mooing and the horse snorting, I shouldn't have understood, but the tiger baby's expression is very natural, and there is a child's unique curiosity in nature. Tiger baby has been playing with Pan Gu since he was a child, at that time Pan Gu was still an ignorant dog, and Hu Bao talked to it, anyway, the dog called the dog, people said people, he was used to it.

Those businessmen thought this tiger baby was very cute, after all, it was a child, and they were curious about everything. In fact, the height and physique of the tiger baby looks not small, even if it is a tall and burly strong man like Zhong Zhuang, his size is up to his shoulders. But he looks like a child, mainly because of his demeanor, especially his eyes are still as clear as a baby.

The team encountered heavy rain on the way, and everyone trudged through the rain. In fact, with the ability of the tiger baby, you can sacrifice a lotus leaf, and if you shake the stem, the lotus leaf can be stretched and spread to cover the whole team.

But the mountain god has a warning that such an artifact must not be easily revealed, so the tiger baby has to brave the wind and rain to trek through the mud with this team. By the time they arrived at the next post to rest, even the sturdy warriors were exhausted, and the trek was indeed full of unknown dangers.

When the winding and rugged mountain road finally came to an end, and the road became wide and gentle in the rolling hills, they saw the village populated again. Huwa realizes that she has entered Ba Yuan. While the team was resting outside a village, an unexpected situation happened - the child and the dog ran away! (To be continued......
