Two hundred and thirty-five, the Great Witch
|||->-> "Fairy children don't know, if they cultivate foreign laws, they may not be allowed in the ministries." ”
As soon as the old priest said this, Lu Xuan understood his concerns.
Lu Xuan also had a guess, but he didn't expect that compared to survival, the Suzhou tribes attached more importance to tradition.
Of course, this is not incomprehensible.
It's just that with the current situation of the Candle Sect, even survival is extremely difficult, if there is another killing between the tribe and the Northern Demon Sect, a small tribe like them is afraid that an accident will be wiped out from the world.
The old priest is still relatively easy to speak, and he has been entertained a lot these days, Lu Xuan didn't make any twists and turns, and clearly said his thoughts.
When the old priest heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "For fear of angering the Great Witch, it will be difficult for our department to survive." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan understood that the old priest himself did not have much rejection of this, but was just concerned about the thoughts of the great witch.
But then again, the tribes of Suzhou were originally under the jurisdiction of these great witches, and if it weren't for the Northern Demon Sect and ignoring the rules of the great witches, it would indeed be even more difficult to deal with than facing a harsh living environment.
Lu Xuan heard this and did not persuade again.
The old priest didn't want to, but he didn't dare, in this case, Lu Xuan persuaded him a little bit to stand and talk without backache.
He had a lot of experience and was able to see things from the perspective of an old priest.
Imagine carefully, if it were you, you wouldn't have enough strength, and you wouldn't easily offend the rules set by the great witches.
Acting impulsively will only harm the people of the tribe.
Although he was a little regretful, Lu Xuan still temporarily put aside the idea of teaching martial arts, and instead analyzed what he had seen and heard in the Candle Tribe these days, and put forward some opinions according to his own opinions.
Of course, whether it is feasible or not is not necessarily, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and it depends on the decision of the head of the old priest's family.
After all, Lu Xuan has a wide range of knowledge, and many opinions still give the old priest some inspiration.
He also became closer to Lu Xuan.
So a few days later, there were some changes in the candle department, and although these changes may take a long time to bring a big improvement to the tribe, at least they are developing in a good direction.
Lu Xuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was quite comfortable.
After about half a month, the young men who went out hunting in the candle department returned, maybe the sacrifice of the candle dragon really had some effect, and the young men gained a lot, although there were also some losses, but they brought back a lot of food reserves.
And after these young men returned, the old priest presided over a sacrifice in the tribe, and the sacrifice was naturally a candle dragon, which probably meant to thank the candle dragon for its protection.
Lu Xuan participated in this sacrifice, but he felt quite interesting.
Immersed in the joy of harvest with the lives of the tribe, Lu Xuan was also in a good mood.
Within two days, the old priest finally arranged the affairs of the tribe and decided to take Lu Xuan to the Yanshi tribe to meet the Lingyan Great Witch.
......
The Yanshi Department is thousands of miles away, and this trip is even more around the Sun Pole Mountain, which is nothing to Lu Xuan, but the old priest is still a little difficult.
Their witchcraft cultivation methods are also strange, each with its own characteristics, some are physically strong, some are spiritually strong, and some have both.
And the method with the candle department does not help the physical body much, and because the spirit is strong, just like the method of the Yin God of the Daomen, it has a great load on the body, so the old priest's body is also relatively weak.
Unless you use witchcraft to control yourself in the case of spellcasting, the physical body is really a bit of a drag.
Fortunately, when the two left the Candle Tribe, they had a discussion.
The old priest was relatively familiar with the situation of the surrounding tribes, and their location was relatively clear, so Lu Xuan could fly away with the old priest with the help of the turtle and snake sword, and only need to get to the vicinity of those tribes and then rush on foot.
This will not only avoid unnecessary troubles, but also speed up the journey.
It is also a little helpless, because of the candle dragon, many tribes have migrated near the Daypole Mountain, so that it has added a lot of trouble to the two of them and delayed some time.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.
......
The Yanshi tribe is located in the south of the Daypole Mountain.
Not all of the tribes of Suzhou worship candle dragons.
Most of the tribes that migrated to the vicinity of the Daypole Mountains were tribes that believed in candle dragons. And the Yanshi tribe is one of the most powerful tribes among the tribes that worship the candle dragon.
Of course, although the various tribes now have a tendency to fight together against the Northern Demon Sect, due to environmental factors, the gathering of all the tribes in one place is obviously extremely inconvenient for the survival of the tribal people.
In the final analysis, there is still a lack of resources, and all of them are gathered together, which cannot meet the survival needs of the tribal people.
Therefore, even after the appearance of the candle dragon, a plan was made to fight against the Northern Demon Sect, and the various tribes still occupied their own territories, and the meetings were mostly attended by priests.
Especially for large tribes, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in a tribe, and the requirements for the environment are very high.
In order to get close to the Candle Dragon God, he migrated to the Daypole Mountain, and the conditions were even more harsh.
Therefore, the large tribes are almost separated by thousands of miles, so as not to affect the survival of each family, so as not to cause conflicts before they are united.
In the past, the major tribes had never come to the Sun Pole Mountain, and each had its own residence, so naturally this would not be the case, but now the situation is different.
It was only after the deliberation of the great witches that such a tone was set.
Moreover, against the Northern Demon Sect, in fact, it is more about the methods of the priests, and the tribal people with extraordinary bodies.
Therefore, this treatment will not affect the union of the various families.
If the follow-up victory drives out the people of the Northern Demon Sect, then the various families occupy the territory occupied by the disciples of the Northern Demon Sect, and then the people of the tribe will be needed.
When Lu Xuan came to the Yanshi Tribe, he was slightly surprised.
Perhaps the first impression that the Candle Tribe brought to him gave him some delusions, so much so that he thought that the Yanshi Tribe's settlement form was probably similar to the Candle Tribe.
However, when he really saw the appearance of the Yanshi tribe, he realized that he was thinking a little wrong.
As far as the eye can see, it is a big city of ice and snow.
The shape is rough, similar to the Yuan Emperor's Mausoleum in the belly of Jiuzhi Mountain, the difference is only that there are not as many mysterious mechanisms as the Yuan Emperor's Mausoleum, and there is no formation arrangement, and the entire city is made of ice.
Syracuse City is vast, and it is also extremely lively inside, there is a bazaar, if it weren't for the appearance of the tribesmen here and the primitive trading form of barter, Lu Xuan might have thought that he had returned to Zifuzhou.
It can be seen that this Snow City has some characteristics of Zifuzhou culture, and I think there is also the influence of the Northern Demon Sect in it.
In fact, the old priest also sighed a little when he took Lu Xuan into the snow city of the Yanshi Tribe.
"The Demon Cult doesn't act in a natural way, but it does inspire us a lot of things. ”
In fact, the principle of the law of the jungle in the Demon Sect was originally a style that conformed to nature, but it was a pity that the disciples of the Demon Sect were too casual, for them, it all depended on their mood, otherwise they could still get along with the natives of Bao Suzhou.
Because the priests of the Suzhou tribes practice the method of communicating with nature, they pay attention to conforming to nature, and the law of the jungle is only one of them, and it is more about the repetition of the cycle and the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
To be more specific, in fact, the survival resources of Baosuzhou are too scarce for the human race, and they cannot develop the concept of self-improvement like the human race in Zifuzhou, and people can only rely on the support of heaven and earth, so it is natural to maintain the balance of heaven and earth, conform to the natural principle, and it is a concept of sustainable development.
The ancient witchcraft has been able to maintain itself in Suzhou until now, and there is no lack of influence for this reason.
And the people in the Demon Sect, because of their ideas and exercises, act more according to their own intentions, and many times inadvertently destroy the natural balance of Bao Suzhou, and under the accumulation, it may affect the survival of the human race in the future.
It was precisely because they saw this that the Great Witches were very reluctant to the arrival of the Northern Demon Sect.
And those tribesmen who joined the Northern Demon Sect did not see this, they only saw that by joining the Northern Demon Sect, they could make themselves stronger, and if they became stronger, they could get enough survival resources.
This is the fundamental reason for the incompatibility between the Northern Demon Sect and the natives of the Wrapping Continent.
However, relatively speaking, the Demon Sect can indeed make people strong in a short period of time, even if it is an act of overdrawing future resources, but this has brought great trouble to the great witches of Bao Su Continent.
The existence form of the witch is destined to the tribe under their rule to not be able to cultivate strong people in a short period of time like the Northern Demon Sect, so that in the past days, the Northern Demon Sect has become more and more powerful, and the living space of the indigenous tribes of Baosuzhou led by the Great Witches has been gradually compressed.
In this case, some of the clever juniors in the tribe were attracted by the strength of the Northern Demon Sect, so they further weakened the power of the tribe.
It's a vicious circle.
The Great Witches are all smart people, so they can naturally see this, but it's a pity that as Great Witches, their first priority is the people of their own tribe, and they have not been able to make the right response at the first time.
By the time we found out that the situation was getting worse and worse, it was already a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
And the appearance of the candle dragon made them make up their minds.
The candle dragon may not personally help them, but they use the candle dragon as a totem, and with the help of the power of heaven and earth, the appearance of the candle dragon itself will bring them a lot of help.
Because the candle dragon is an ancient god and demon, born of heaven and earth, and the supernatural power it possesses is indeed a manifestation of the truth of heaven and earth, and the return of the candle dragon to Baosuzhou itself can strengthen the connection between the great witches and this side of heaven and earth, and in a side sense, it is to enhance their strength.
Even if the candle dragon just came back to sleep, even the great witches knew that the candle dragon, who was an ancient god and demon, would not really help them because of their offerings, but the candle dragon's change in the environment was enough to become a kind of confidence for them.
It's like a candle dragon living in the day pole mountain, opening its eyes for the day, and closing its eyes for the night will naturally manifest, and the great witch who can use this power will naturally be blessed.
To be clear, it is the return of the Candle Dragon that has activated the natural power of Bao Suzhou, so that the great witches can use this power more easily, and even the power that can be used is even stronger.
In some ways, the candle dragon is equivalent to a magic weapon, which can radiate the environment of the entire Wrapping Continent and increase the power of the great witches.
Even if you don't believe in the Great Witch of the Candle Dragon, you can still get benefits.
The candle dragon heaven and earth bell, the magic power is immeasurable, and the power it has is very complicated, even if some tribes in Baosuzhou are not dedicated to the candle dragon, but the natural power they worship may also be covered by the candle dragon supernatural power, naturally, they can also get benefits.
This is the reason for the actions of the Zhu Zhou after the return of the candle dragon.
Otherwise, if the Great Witches were really stupid enough to pin on the idea of letting the candle dragon help them deal with the Northern Demon Sect, the indigenous tribes of Suzhou would have been wiped out by the Northern Demon Sect long ago.
They may not understand the principle of self-improvement, but living in such a harsh environment, there will be no luck in relying on others.
What's more, the candle dragon they believe in actually has nothing to do with the candle dragon itself, and the reason why the candle dragon will become the totem and belief of the tribe is just because the candle dragon can represent a certain heaven and earth power that they need, which can make them more specific and convenient to borrow this kind of power.
Ordinary people who have never cultivated may not understand, just like the people of Zifu Continent believe in gods, in their opinion, it is the power brought to them by the gods.
And the great witches know very well that what they worship is not actually a candle dragon, but heaven and earth.
Even the tribes such as the Yanshi Department and the Candle Department migrated to the vicinity of the Daypole Mountain, because this place is the closest to the Candle Dragon, and the power of heaven and earth is the most active, which is the greatest benefit for them, the priests who use the Candle Dragon as a totem and borrow the power of heaven and earth.
It's not because I want to get closer to the candle dragon and look at the face.
......
Lu Xuan and the natives of Bao Suzhou have not been in contact for a long time, and their understanding of Wu's cultivation methods is even more one-sided, and the old priest thinks that he is a fairy child under the candle dragon seat, and he will not say this matter clearly.
After all, no matter how he said it, it seemed that he was a little disrespectful to the candle dragon, so he didn't understand this truth at first, until he met the great witch of the Yanshi tribe, and he came to his senses.
Because this great witch doesn't attach so much importance to his identity as a candle dragon fairy, even if he proves his identity with the help of the great sun true fire left by the candle dragon in the Nine Peaks Ding, the great witch is also sure of his identity, and he is still just polite, not fanatical.
For this reason, Lu Xuan asked the old priest to ask, and according to some analysis, he understood the cause and effect.
In this way, it was only natural that his plans would have to change.
The identity of the Candle Dragon Fairy Child may allow him to be treated as a distinguished guest among the major tribes, but it cannot help him integrate into it and achieve his subsequent goals.
So Lu Xuan found the great witch of the Yanshi tribe again.
"There are 100,000 people in the Yanshi Division, and there are a lot of affairs as a great witch, and I hope that the fairy child will forgive me, I don't know what the fairy child wants to do with me?"
If it weren't for the fact that he clearly knew that the person in front of him was the native of Suzhou, the priest of the Yanshi tribe, Lu Xuan might have thought that he was facing a fellow Daoist from Zifuzhou.
Whether it is speech or bearing, there is no difference from the Taoists.
When the cultivation realm is high, and the understanding of natural truths is high, the wisdom will increase, and the superior people will act, and they will end up in the same place, which is not a lie.
