In the next few days, outside of cultivation, Song Youyu learned about the situation of the beast tide in the tribe.

Elderly, hunters. After many people asked, I understood. Song Youyu has a general understanding of the annual beast tide.

As a herbivore, the brute cow beast is not too harmful. It's just that due to the number, when a huge herd of beasts crosses, it will cause damage to the cultivated fields.

The most harmful are the predators that follow the herd. These carnivores are mainly toothed lions and wolves. Among them, there are also some leopards, tigers, lions, will appear, but not too many.

When these predators follow the herd, humans are also one of their food.

After asking about the size of the herd and the transit time, Song Youyu discovered a phenomenon. That's the question of the herd's route.

With the hunter warriors of the tribe, while exploring a hundred kilometers away from the tribe's periphery, Song Youyu found that there was a problem with the migration route of the beasts.

The herd wasn't supposed to enter the tribe's territory. Because when the herd enters the tribe's territory, it is taking a semi-circular detour. Why don't the beasts go in a straight line and take a detour?

After Song Youyu led people to walk another one or two hundred kilometers to the periphery, he finally found the problem. It turned out to be a problem with the water source.

With the tribal territory as the center, within more than 300 kilometers up and down, the only way for the beasts to drink water is the Xiaoqing River, a large water source. This is the reason why the herds have to take a detour through the tribal territory on their migration route.

Knowing the reason, Song Youyu couldn't help but complain for Mei Jiu, a member of the tribe. You said to choose a territory, a place as big as the flood and famine, you have to choose a water source on the way of the herd.

However, after further learning about the surrounding form from the people of the tribe, Song Youyu was speechless.

Within hundreds of thousands of kilometers of Fang Yuan, only the current location is the most suitable. In other places, the direction of Song Youyu is the mountains, and the swamp area below, not to mention that it is far away from Mei Fangbo's territory, and it is still on the migration route of the beasts, and it is impossible to gain a foothold.

In fact, Mei Jiu's current tribe is still a wasteland a few decades ago. Mei Fangbo's territory only ends at Xiaoqing River.

Twenty or thirty years ago, after the population of Mei Fangbo's territory increased, in order to expand the territory, it was on the other side of the Xiaoqing River, and the current location occupied a piece of land.

At that time, the herd did not take this route. Ten years ago, the original route taken by the herd was broken.

Yes, it's broken. A large ditch more than 100 kilometers long, 1200 meters wide, and nearly 100 meters deep appeared out of thin air on the migration route of the beasts.

And this ravine that appeared out of thin air was just two Golden Immortal Realm Qi practitioners fighting, and one of them slashed the earth with a sword.

The migratory herds were blocked in their path and had to take a detour. So the tribe's territory was plagued by unwarranted calamity.

Song Youyu found that there are two ways to solve this problem.

The first is to re-change the migration route of the herd, so that the herd can go from the other side of the ravine. This method is difficult because the other side of the ravine is mountainous and swampy. The herd will not go to the other side of the danger.

The second is to block the herd of beasts and prevent them from entering the territory of the tribe. This method is possible, but it is difficult.

There are also 100 kilometers of gaps between the edges of the tribal territory and the ravines. Just let the herd pass through this position and no longer enter the tribe's territory.

As for the problem of water needed by the herd, it is easy to solve it, and the migrating herd can create a water source.

Song Youyu was optimistic, there was a depression in the direction where the beasts came, and if this depression could be filled with water, the beasts would no longer detour the tribal territory.

The source of water is also easy to solve, and a canal between the Xiaoqing River and the depression can solve the problem. After Song Youyu's rough measurement, the nearest edge of the depression is less than three kilometers away from the Xiaoqing River, and the amount of work is not large.

Although this will flood a quarter of the tribe's territory. It may solve the problem of the annual relocation of tribes back and forth, and in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After finding a way to solve the herd, Song Youyu immediately went to find Mei Jiu. After telling Mei Jiu about the method he had thought of, Mei Jiu said to Song Youyu with a wry smile:

"Senior brother, you don't know, the water of Xiaoqing River can't be moved casually, it's okay for people to drink it with beasts, but it's not okay if you want to open a waterway to divide the water. The river god will be angry. ”

What, there is such a thing, Song Youyu was stunned when he heard Mei Jiu say this. Is there anything else to say?

After learning more from Mei Jiu, Song Youyu knew.

This world is a world full of gods. The mountains have mountain gods, and the water has water gods, and these gods are the lords who occupy the mountains, and they have the final say within the territory. Although it was also under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court at this time, most of the gods at this time were primitive, not like after the gods, most of the gods in various places were sent by the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the gods at this time are a bit of a tune and do not listen to the preaching.

This is also the Jade Emperor in the sky who felt that he had no rights, so he ran to Dao Ancestor to cry, and Dao Ancestor opened the God Tribulation in the name of the need for the orderly operation of the Heavenly Dao. After the Great Tribulation of the Gods, these wild gods and qi practitioners were swept away, and it can be said that there is no one in ten.

Since Xiaoqing River can only be regarded as a small river in the desolate land, the river god is just a dragon.

Don't think it's strange, the Xiaoqing River, which is two or three kilometers wide and nearly 10,000 kilometers long, is a small river in this desolate land. The Xiaoqing River belongs to a small tributary of the Weishui, and the Weihe River is called a river. The river god of the Wei River is a real dragon.

Although some places in this desolate land have the same names as those on Earth, the terrain is completely different from that on Earth.

If the flood is as big as the earth, then the earth is like a bonsai, a bonsai made according to the terrain of a part of the flood.

Song Youyu didn't know how big the flood was, and he didn't know how many immortals there were. But he knew that both humans and immortals had needs. It's just that the needs are different in different realms.

After asking Mei Jiu about how to communicate with the local river god, Song Youyu decided to talk to the river god of Xiaoqing River.

After preparing the supplies for the sacrifice to the river god in one day, Song Youyu set up the incense table that night, offered the offerings, and then pulled Mei Jiu and asked him to invite the river god out.

Mei Jiu is not optimistic about Song Youyu. The river god is not so easy to talk to, and every year when the tribe crosses the river, they have to provide sacrifices to the river god as road money. Even if he paid for the road, the river god sometimes made waves. It can be seen that the river gods here are not easy to get along.

Despite Mei Jiu's reluctance, he couldn't withstand the request of the disciple of the Dharma Teacher, so he had to start the ceremony of inviting the gods in front of the incense table that had been placed.

I saw Mei Jiu chanting words in his mouth, burning incense and worshipping. After three incense sticks, less than two quarters of an hour later, the river in front of him suddenly waved, and then the water surface swelled and rose.

A huge column of water rose in the blink of an eye on the surface of the river, which was still calm, and looking at this column of water rising in front of him, Song Youyu felt that it was much more spectacular than the scene made by the special effects of the movie.

Song Youyu was still there looking at the comparison between the water column and the special effects scene of the movie, and in a blink of an eye, the water curtain at the upper end of the water column twenty or thirty meters high separated, revealing a huge dragon head.

"Mankind, why do you want to sacrifice this king? ”

"Ah, oh, the respected river god, Mei Jiu, the head of the Terran Mei tribe, has invited you, the river god, there is something to ask you ....... ”

"Honorable Dragon God, Mei's tribal human race invites you here because there is a merit for you. ”

Song Youyu didn't wait for Mei Jiu to finish speaking, and quickly interjected to interrupt Mei Jiu's words.

"Well, who are you and what do you mean by merit. ”

"Dear river god, I am Mei Jiu's junior brother. The merit I am talking about is to increase your water territory by three hundred miles. ”

"Human, are you kidding me? Without the promise of the heavenly court, I went there to increase the waters of three hundred miles, where did I get the merit? Do you know what happened to me if you offended me? ”

"Dear river god, I didn't mean to offend you. This matter is a request from our Terran Mei tribe. We can make a sacrifice to the heavens, and when the matter is done, the merit of opening up the living place of the human race will be yours. ”

Song Youyu explained the cause and effect to this Jiaolong in detail, of course, he said the good side and the beneficial side of Jiaolong.

"Well, well, this is something that the king has to think about. ”

"Respected Dragon God, there are not many such good things. If you agree, we will sacrifice to Heaven. We will never break our promises. ”

"Since you are so sincere, the king has agreed to this, and after you have opened the canal, the king has done it for you. ”

After listening to Jiaolong's words, Mei Jiu was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Song Youyu felt that this thing was too smooth, and there was still some buy-one-get-one-free taste.

Listening to Mei Jiu's description of this river god before, this dragon behaved a little too much. Could it be that the other party really believes in the merit of my fooling?

really let Song Youyu guess correctly. There is a lot of merit in doing this, but it's very little.

But no matter how little it is, it is also merit, something that even a saint wants. And merit is still very difficult to get such a mysterious thing, and some qi practitioners have cultivated for countless years, but they have not been able to get a trace. Without merit, once the calamity comes, it will be difficult to cross the past.

Therefore, merit is all that can be cultivated, regardless of race, and is thought of for a long time.

The reason why this matter has merit is also to talk about the rules of this side of the world.

Anything that can contribute to the perfection of the rules of heaven and earth and maintain the operation of heaven and earth will generally be recognized by the way of heaven. It is recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and according to the size of the contribution to the general principle, the corresponding merit descended by the Heavenly Dao, which is re-divided by those who participate in the matter. How much each person can get, the Heavenly Dao has divided it in advance.

Until the next immeasurable tribulation, the human race is the protagonist of this heaven and earth. Therefore, everything related to the human race is the easiest to obtain merit. It is also the easiest to obtain karma.

The expansion of the living space of the Terran tribe in Meijiu is a good thing for the development of the Terran race, and it is also a meritorious thing. It's just that the impact on the human race is too small, and the merit is also small.

The two Golden Immortals fought, and the result was that the development of the Mei Jiu Human Clan was interrupted. Both gained some karma. It's just that that bit of karma has no effect on Jin Xian.

If there is karma, there will be a corresponding merit, and this merit is to restore the development of the Meijiu tribe.

But this merit needs to be fought for by the Meijiu tribe itself. If the people of Mei Jiubu return to the other side of the river and do not come back, or the people of the tribe are eaten by fierce beasts. Then this merit will disappear.

On the contrary, Mei Jiubu achieved development through struggle. Then the merit will come down. As long as you participate, you will share in this merit. The greater the force you exert when you support, the more merit you will gain.

Of course, there are also people or races that are destined to be destroyed. At this time, if you go to help, you will gain karma. This is also the reason why merit is rare. Because even the saints are not sure that what they do will be meritorious. It's all about things that can only be sensed.

This is also the reason why the river god Jiaolong suddenly had a good heart and was willing to contribute. Jiaolong, who is already at the peak of the Earth Immortal, needs this merit to advance to the Heavenly Immortal too much.

Although Song Youyu feels that something is wrong, it is in this world that is out of the question. Having said that, the best outcome is to do it.
