Chapter 357: Thoughts on Witchcraft Civilization
"What?"
The clansman half-knelt in front of Xia Tuo, presented a roller-shaped animal-skin paper with both hands, bowed his head slightly and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”
Xia Tuo took the animal skin paper and opened it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ordered in the direction of Xia Ge: "Someone came to order the Elder of the Tomb of the Relic Hall and the Elder of the Baiqiao Hall to come. ”
The wolf sent a message, saying that ruins had been found in the depths of the Lingzhou Barbarian Ancient Land.
For the ruins Xia Tuo is very rare, after all, the inheritance of the living people in the border wasteland is like this, the Xia tribe that can be collected has it, and he can't get it if the Xia tribe doesn't have it, and it is still possible to enrich the tribal inheritance with some underground relics.
Soon, the two elders hurried over, and without saying too much, the three of them headed towards Lingzhou.
After more than 10 years of reclamation, Lingzhou has more than 1,500 miles of land suitable for living in the north and south, thousands of miles from east to west, and more than 800,000 slaves living here, in addition to more than 100,000 people who have immigrated here.
With the passage of time, the slaves in Lingzhou are still increasing, and they have to occupy the slave bazaar, otherwise they would not be able to get so many people, and the entire vast ancient land is vast and sparsely populated.
After crossing the Xishan City into Lingzhou, what comes into view is a land that is not very undulating, and on the endless land, the fields and ditches are criss-crossed, and there are large pieces of spiritual rice growing, and there are many people working in the fields.
The three of them sat on the big wind bird, all the way to the west, Xia Tuo looked at the Lingtian below, although it was only the lowest mortal rank lower grade spirit rice, containing a trace of thin aura, but for slaves, it was enough to feed their stomachs and survive.
"Elder Mu, this is the beast plough made in the hall. ”
Xia Tuo pointed to the spirit field below and asked.
On the ground below, there were tame wild oxen, dragging a two-meter-high beast plough over the furrows in the spiritual field, and the coulter broke through the thick soil and overturned on both sides.
Mu nodded and said softly: "Baiqiao Hall is just based on what the patriarch said, and he doesn't dare to take credit." ”
"Elder Mu doesn't have to be presumptuous, I just mentioned it, how to do it is all researched by the Baiqiao Palace. ”
Xia Tuo waved his hand, he still knew this thing about the plough that ploughed the field, so he said that it was given to Baiqiao Palace, this matter was just a trivial matter for him, and he forgot about it after saying it.
Compared with the border wasteland, Lingzhou under the rule of the tribe is more like a primitive farming society, there are no tribes here, only a small settlement, living by the mountains and rivers, and the slaves cultivate the fields in the rear to plant spiritual rice, and provide for the slave logistics who pioneered the ancient land in front.
Originally, he thought that the tribesmen on the wild land had hundreds of thousands of powers in adulthood, and it was not easy to reclaim the fields, so he did not have much hope for the role of the beast plow.
But now it seems that the strength of the body does not mean that there is skill, nor does it mean efficiency, and the reason why man is different from beast is that he can use tools.
Ordered the Great Wind Bird to reduce its flight altitude, Xia Tuo looked towards the ground below, a large area of spiritual fields was reclaimed in the flat land, and a large number of mountains and forests were also retained, and there was the sound of fierce beasts roaring in the mountains and forests.
On the roads between the settlements, there are also ox carts loaded with lingmi, heading west.
In the past ten years, Lingzhou has gradually developed into an independent social environment, and the Great Xia tribe is the heaven of this region, and all the slaves are operating around the Great Xia.
Soon, the big wind bird passed a hill filled with spiritual energy, a radius of a few miles, the mountain grass and trees were lush, and the spirit bird cried.
"Patriarch, this is a medicinal garden in the Hundred Herbs Palace, specializing in cultivating mortal-level medicinal herbs. ”
Mu pointed to the medicine mountain below and introduced to Xia Tuo, now that there is the land of Lingzhou, the medicinal herbs in the tribe that support the cultivation of the people below the Tianmai Realm are gradually becoming self-sufficient, but what is lacking is still the witch medicine master.
Xia Tuo glanced at the hill below, and knew that there was a witchcraft gathering array arranged in the hill, which was also the only witchcraft formation mastered in the clan at present.
There is a kind of reckless atmosphere in the wild ancient land, which has a good effect on the texture of the growth of medicinal herbs, so there are many medicinal fields and spiritual fields in this clan.
This is not a large-scale cultivation of low-grade spiritual rice and ordinary rice among slaves, since it can be planted on a large scale, it means that the quality is not high, and it is easy to pick up.
In the past ten years, Sinong Hall has opened up 100 acres of high-grade spiritual fields in Lingzhou, and the most inferior ones can be planted with high-grade spiritual rice.
Among them, there are five acres of land that can be planted with mid-grade spiritual rice in the ground level, but there is no spiritual seed in the clan for the time being, and the Sinong Hall is still in the process of searching and cultivating.
The farther west, the more intense the vast aura became, and soon the flight altitude of the Great Wind Bird fell again, and wisps of miasma began to fill the high air.
Don't look at Lingzhou to the west, it only opens up a thousand miles of land, in fact, there is a miasma buffer zone at the border to the west.
On the land of the buffer zone, the accumulated dead branches and leaves and poisonous insects have almost been cleaned up, and the blast furnace that burns the miasma is blazing every day.
With the passage of time, the buffer zone will gradually spread outward, and the interior will gradually become the Lingzhou region.
After the big wind bird entered the buffer area with a few people, it went all the way to the northwest, and a faint miasma floated by from time to time, glowing with various colors, and some beast roars could be heard.
Eventually, the windy bird landed outside a large lake, and a simple and large camp stood on the shore, with clan soldiers stationed inside to prevent the beasts from attacking.
On the surface of the lake, slaves are fishing on rafts and nets, the waves are rolling in the water, the silver scales are shining, and the big fish are about the size of a foot.
"Meet the Patriarch. ”
Hearing the cry of the windy birds, the wolf led the people out of the camp to meet them.
Xia Tuo motioned to the wolf not to be polite, looked around, and asked, "I see that many people don't wear gas masks. ”
"Rest assured, the miasma here is thin, and after so many years of miasma baptism, the sons under his command have taken many antidote witch medicines, and they have the ability to resist the miasma, and it is inconvenient to wear a gas mask to do things, so everyone is not happy to wear a gas mask when the miasma is thin. ”
Looking around again, he found that the clansmen were indeed full of blood, not like they were poisoned, he nodded and asked, "Where are the ruins?" ”
"At the bottom of the lake. ”
Hearing this, Xia Tuo and the two elders looked towards the big lake in front of them, which was boundless at a glance, and the water surface was filled with thick mist.
Then the wolf said loudly: "Not long after the discovery of this lake town guard, a large number of slaves have come here, so the subordinates ordered people to fish as blood food, but I didn't think that there were many big fish in the water, and it was very brutal, many slaves were devoured, and the clan soldiers also had people who fell into the water, and when rescuing the clan soldiers, some clansmen said that they saw the blazing light under the water, so the subordinates personally went underwater and found that it was a sunken big ship. ”
Hearing this, Xia Tuo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around, this is the wild ancient land, where did the shipwreck come from.
"After discovering the shipwreck, my subordinates have already ordered people to investigate the area around the big lake, which is very wide, and has spread all the way to the depths of the northwest miasma. ”
At this moment, Xia Tuo had a guess that the big lake might be connected to Qinglong Water.
"Let's go, let's see. ”
"Patriarch, there are so many fish at the bottom of the water, and they are all attracted by the glow of the wreck. ”
......
At the bottom of the big lake, a big boat with a length of 100 meters was half-sunk in the mud and sand, and a faint cyan light was shrouded outside the big boat, and runes appeared from time to time, so that the water could not rush into the boat.
Outside the big boat, there were countless swimming fish of all sizes, dense and innumerable, one after another, and the protective light mask was all pasted, as if something attracted them.
After a brief investigation, Xia Tuo returned to the camp.
"The big boat is in the water, and the scene inside cannot be detected clearly with the protective light shield, and breaking the protective light shield in the water is easy to cause the lake to backflow, pull the big boat out of the water, and then explore. ”
"Tell the Forge Hall to build chains. ”
......
Now the Xia tribe is no longer a small family, with Xia Tuo's order, in just three days, five divine gold chains of more than 1,000 zhang were built.
In order to ensure that the protective shield was not broken, the tribesmen built a huge raft, hollowed out the mud and sand around the bottom of the boat, pushed the raft to the bottom of the large boat, and erected pillars around it to tie the chains.
Of course, in this process, it is necessary to praise Hei Hei, which scared away the countless swimming fish that surrounded the big ship, so that it was convenient for the people to do things, and after doing all this, tens of thousands of slaves dragged the chains and began to drag the big boat out of the water.
The five chains were tightened by tens of thousands of slaves, and most of the chains sank into the water, making a sound of gold and iron, and huge waves rose in the lake, and in the whirlpool, countless large fish jumped out of the water.
Hei Hei half-squatted on the shore, bared his teeth and looked left and right, and when he saw Xia Tuo coming out of the camp, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a step towards Xia Tuo.
patted the black head, this little guy has been in the pure-blood realm for so many years, and he has not had the slightest intention of being promoted to the lord realm, but the dragon power on his body is getting heavier and heavier.
There are two small blue horns on the black head, and the limbs are much thicker than the dragon, and the body is not like a slender dragon, it looks very strong.
Since a few years ago, the black body began to float with a faint mist, and the little one would often cause a small area to start raining.
Because of this little supernatural power, Hei Hei is now the divine beast of the tribe's Baicao Hall and Sinong Palace, and is simply held in the palm of his hand by many girls in the two halls, eating whatever he wants, and eating all the herbs I don't know how much, but his strength is stuck and he can't be promoted.
Whoa!
The big boat sunk in the lake was slowly dragged out of the water, and on the half-oval guardian light cover, runes loomed, and a cyan bird spread its wings and flew.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Xia Tuo's eyes couldn't help twitching.
He's seen the god of the bird.
On the shield of the guardian light, the nine-colored wings of the Xuanniao are glowing with cyan divine light, intertwining and swimming, sometimes spreading their wings and soaring, sometimes transforming into cyan runes.
After the big ship was completely pulled to the shore, everyone clearly saw the appearance of the whole big ship, the hull was covered with reliefs, all kinds of dragons and flying fish, even the lines as small as nails were very clear.
At the bow of the ship is a large dragon head, towering like a hill, and the dragon's eyes are inlaid with two black beast cores, each of which is the size of a head, and there is a dragon shadow looming inside.
This is a lord-level dragon beast core.
Click.
Without the lake, the guardian light shrouded in the outside of the big ship shattered, and the runes shattered, turning into Dao Dao and splashing in all directions.
Xia Tuo stepped on the big ship, the ship exuded a faint smell of decay, and the ancient beast patterns were depicted everywhere he looked.
For these beast patterns, the old man of the tomb showed joy in his eyes, this is his favorite thing to dabble in.
"Patriarch, this is not the beast pattern of our border wasteland, you see that the beast patterns everywhere on the ship have been respected by the Xuanbird pattern, even if it is a real dragon, it will fall under the nine-colored Xuanniao. ”
"Look here, this should be a sacrificial ritual. ”
The old man of the tomb kept looking around at the carving, and Xia Tuo looked over and saw the depicted sacrificial ceremony.
After the maiden baptism of the girl, the figures are sacrificed to the Xuanyao, and then the head will be cut off and placed in a jar painted with the Xuanniao pattern to seal, and the body will fall into a strange place and turn into drops of blood.
At this moment, he was already sure that this was a big ship from the Immortal Sect.
The whole big ship is permeated with this kind of revered Xuanniao, and all the murals are topped with the shadow of Xuanniao.
"Someone, copy all these things, I'm going to take them back and study them carefully. ”
The old man of the tomb shouted, and every time he saw a depiction, he couldn't help but shout excitedly, and the people of the Gleaning Hall he brought began to spread out the plain silk one by one, pasting it on the depiction and preparing to copy it.
"And this mural, it must be completely and clearly copied. ”
"That one too. ”
This scene made the corners of Xia Tuo's mouth twitch, and he turned his head away from looking at them, a group of losers, they don't know how to save some use, this thing is difficult for the tribe to know now.
The busy clansmen, who don't know what their family patriarch thinks, are busy rubbing and carving at the moment, and the murals and words on the ship are obviously different from the border wasteland, maybe they can be brought back to study and study to find other discoveries.
On the other side, the shipbuilders of the Baiqiao Hall were also looking at the entire big ship.
Since the discovery of the capsized ship in Beiqiu that year, after the craftsmen of the clan have thoroughly understood the secret of the construction of the big ship, even if the shipbuilding skills of the Great Xia tribe have officially laid the foundation, compared with most of the border wasteland, it may be less than the upper but more than the lower.
"Patriarch, the big ship is sailing with the witchcraft formation as the core, and it is still very complete, and it needs to be brought by the wizards of the clan. ”
After a brief investigation quickly, Elder Mu found Xia Tuo excitedly.
Over the years, although the tribe has already had a foundation for shipbuilding, it has not been able to build the core witchcraft formation of the big ship, and now that a complete witchcraft core formation has been discovered, how can it not be happy.
Xia Tuo nodded, and immediately ordered the clansmen to go to the clan to give an order and let Qiao'er come.
The Savage Land was originally a land where witchcraft was civilized, and he had known this for a long time.
But with all the things he had encountered over the years of taking charge of the tribe, he found a big problem.
It is true that the wilderness is a witchcraft civilization, but the development of the witchcraft civilization is somewhat deformed.
The savage civilization is all for the sake of strength improvement, whether it is the large array that guards the clan, or the weapons that begin to depict witch patterns, they are all respected by warriors.
The witchcraft civilization has been inherited for several eras, but in fact, it has not changed much for the ordinary people living on the earth, and the people on the wild land still hunt at sunrise and rest at sunset, which is the case in the Yankang era and the Chiming era.
Although strong strength is the guarantee of the inheritance of civilization, witchcraft has multiplied from ancient times to today, and it is still pursuing strong power, but it has not seen the bottom infrastructure.
Nine out of ten ordinary people living at the bottom have no access to witchcraft, and only a very small handful of people can have access to witchcraft, to put it bluntly, this handful of people are the real inheritors of witchcraft and control the true meaning of witchcraft.
This true meaning Xia Tuo did not feel that it was so noble, in his opinion, it was more like a monopoly, and it also caused the human civilization to stand still from Yankang to the current Chiming era, maintaining the slave feudal system.
