Night.

Starry.

From time to time, there were bursts of insect chirping in the mountains and forests, and it was quiet and cold.

in a wooden house.

The dusk torches flickered.

The high priest squatted in front of a stone tablet, holding a sharp stone in his hand, constantly carving something: "Thirty-six winter...... There is a baby who cultivates the prophet and passes down the martial arts and becomes a second-order powerhouse, which is unprecedented...... He was given the name ...... Yan"

The slab was so large that it took up a quarter of the house.

He first carved 36 horizontal bars in the upper left corner of the stone slab.

He also drew a simple snowflake on the side.

That's the time it represents.

Then a small figure was carved, with a little spot of light on the back of his head, like a sun growing on his neck.

Due to the high difficulty of stone carving.

The little man looked a little crooked.

The high priest was very serious, and even used his other hand to hold his carved wrist to prevent his hand from trembling, and with a bit of respect in his eyes, he drew the villain's facial features.

"The prophet has finished drawing, but this martial arts ...... How do you mean it? ”

The High Priest rubbed his sore temples, only to feel that he had lost a lot of his hair these days.

Since the Prophet came to their tribe, everything has changed for the better.

But happiness also comes with the troubles of happiness.

The rules handed down by the tribe since ancient times, after a major event occurs, need to be recorded so that it can be continued and known to future generations.

Before.

The Blackstone tribe uses the old method, knotting ropes to remember.

When something big happened in the tribe, they tied a knot in the rope.

When you see this knot, you can think of it.

The knots are large and small, the distance between them is different, and the thickness of the rope is also different, each representing different meanings.

The person in charge of interpreting these rules is usually the high priest of the tribe or a prominent elder!

However, this method works well for a short time.

After a long time, there are many knots, coupled with the roughness of their workmanship, the thickness of the rope they make, etc., are not completely controlled by themselves.

It's easy to remember nothing.

Especially when you are old, your qi and blood are weakened, and your memory is declining...... They also have no means of cultivation, so they can't maintain their energy, and they are prone to the problem of losing their inheritance.

Many small tribes are unable to grow, in addition to the dangers of the Savage Realm, which is also one of the reasons.

The wisdom summed up by previous generations cannot be continued.

After a few generations, it will be forgotten.

Just like now, there was a pile of decaying wooden ropes in the corner of the high priest's house, and after all these years, he couldn't understand what the knot on the rope meant.

And if it is attacked by a fierce beast, some people in the tribe who have mastered the technology die and cannot pass it on, and the technology will no longer exist.

The High Priest experienced something similar.

And more than once!

I deeply understand the serious consequences of such a thing.

So as early as the tenth year of his high priesthood, he decided to change all that.

The original knotted rope method.

Instead, the events were recorded on the stone slabs carved in stone, and the characters, times, and events were drawn at a glance.

In the beginning.

The high priest was also impressed by his ingenuity.

I feel that I am also a great hero of the Blackstone tribe, and my children and grandchildren will inevitably remember my merits in future generations, and I am a little proud.

Can be taken slowly.

As he spent more and more time to record and went in a wider direction, he gradually discovered ...... It's getting longer and longer to record something.

For example, this year marks his thirty-sixth year as high priest.

At the beginning of each record, he would first draw thirty-six bars to indicate the time.

The further back you go, the more kongs there are.

And when the young adults of the tribe find a new fierce beast in the mountains and forests, he will also record it.

Record their characteristics, habits, weaknesses, strengths as much as possible......

So that the future hunting team will not be ignorant when facing this fierce beast.

Whenever this happens.

The high priest had to find a way to draw the appearance of the new beast and express its characteristics in symbols, so that people could understand it by looking at it.

This is a great test of personal ability.

Of course, these are actually okay, after all, the daily life of primitive society is relatively bland, and there are not many major events, even if there are headaches, it is only a few times occasionally.

And over the years, he has also researched some symbols on his own, which are recorded on stone slabs and tortoise shells.

Barely enough!

Can......

That all changed when the Prophet came to the Blackstone Tribe.

It's almost a few months before there is a big change.

From the prophet to use magic to heal the stone, from the dying to the alive.

Then the prophet refined the artifact in public and gave it to them so that they could be more confident against the beast.

Then it is to teach them how to mine.

When the tribe faced a life-and-death crisis, the Prophet descended from the sky to slay the serpent and save everyone.

Later, he taught martial arts, the art of building, and the art of cooking food......

Every single one counts!

All need to be well documented!

The tribe rejoiced, but only the high priest had a secret headache.

There are so many new things, how can you remember?

It's like that martial arts...... It's been so long, and he hasn't figured out how to express it!

"Or ...... It's better to be empty as before, and think later! ”

The high priest sighed, and that was all he could do, and continued to record.

A group of villains were drawn, cheering around a giant-like figure.

That giant represents a second-order powerhouse.

The last character.

It's the name of Yan!

The High Priest stared at the simple, yet image-filled text, and fell into a long silence.

"That's great! This symbol is awesome......"

He stroked it gently, as if admiring a work of art, and his eyes were full of obsession.

Suddenly.

He jerked to his feet, as if struck by lightning, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"Why am I so stupid? Prophet...... You ought to know! ”

After all, this martial art was passed down by the prophet, and since he was able to create such a perfect symbol as "Yan", then the martial arts ...... It should be possible, too!

However, the Prophet had already helped them a lot, and if he made another request, would it make the Prophet a little unhappy?

Think they're insatiable?

Come to think of it.

The high priest hesitated again and paced about the room.

"No matter...... In any case, always try! ”

The High Priest's eyes were filled with determination.

He knows better than anyone else.

If this can really happen, what kind of good thing will it be for the Blackstone tribe?

This will greatly bless future generations.

It can change the fate of children and grandchildren!

The prophet has passed down so many precious skills, and if there is no way to pass them on well, it will take a few generations to forget them.

This...... How can you bear it?

The High Priest couldn't take it!

Even if the prophet were to be angry, he would have to fight!

Come to mind.

He put on a fur and went out.
