Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
The Yanbei is a small tribe with only 120 people in total. Because of the difficult living environment, the life span of people is limited, and the mortality rate of newborn babies is extremely high, so the oldest in the tribe is only 40 years old, with an average age. Low, except for infants and young children who cannot participate in labor, the rest are all combatants and production workers.
In this market transaction, Hui brought ten men and 20 women, equipped with leather armor, bows and arrows, spears and stone axes. The combat power was not low, but after all, the number of people in the market was too small. The counting ability of the new era is still in the era of knotting and remembering. There are few large numbers that can be used, and the concept of thousand has not yet appeared.
In short, if the tribes in the bazaar unite to attack the Salt Ministry, they will only have a dead end. This is why Hui has been low-key, selling salt at a low price, but now it is different. The Salt Ministry is protected by the gods, and the power of the gods is enough to smooth it out. Kill everyone in the entire market. Of course, the gods will not be so merciful, but it is okay to let the tribes be overwhelmed.
In the future, the Salt Ministry will be the strongest member of the tribe, and Hui's weight will increase. Slowly, the Salt Ministry will grow stronger and stronger. What a bright future.
According to the will of the gods, Hui personally visited various caravans and agreed to compete tomorrow.
The function of the Spring Fair is not only to barter, but also to exchange information, test each other, and compete for the right to speak. It is common for the whole caravan to come back and forth, and there is a chance. The danger depends on whether the head family will be able to grasp it.
That night, Liu Yan let the soldiers sleep peacefully. There were Xiaosi guarding outside the camp. How dare the Xiao Xiaojun approach? There were indeed a few groups of people who came to explore the reality during the night, but they saw the mighty Xiaosi like a saber-toothed tiger. He dismissed the idea of night attack, and ran away in despair.
Before dawn, Liu Yanzhi woke everyone up, fully armed, and dressed up to attend the competition. After some deliberate dressing, even Hui was shocked when he saw it. Is this still his own man? This is simply a heavenly soldier!
When the sun rose, the competition ground was ready to stop, and caravans from a dozen tribes gathered around, waiting for the opening of the show.
When the Yanbei people entered the venue, countless pairs of eyes looked over, all opened their mouths, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.
Is this still a barren salt department in the past? This group of goods is too good for the scene. Ten men, all wearing rhino leather armor, leggings, leather helmets on the head, and a bright green feather inserted in their hands. It is a sharp and straight spear and a wooden sign. The sign is painted with ferocious beasts. A wise person can understand at a glance. This wooden sign can withstand the enemy's blow in battle. The salt department is not simple, there are smart people. Point them.
The women in the salt department have also been carefully dressed, draped in animal skins, and their faces painted red. They are no less fierce than men. Although there are only 30 people, they are so powerful that a hundred people can't suppress them. live.
This is not the main event. When Liu Yanzhi and Zhen Yue took the small four on the stage, the whole market was a sensation. Everyone knew the goods. The two obviously did not belong to this world. They were gods! It is the supreme being above the mortal.
The dismissal was very successful, and then Liu Yan directly controlled the rhythm of the audience, and no one dared to challenge his authority.
Liu Yanzhi performed three shows. The first was archery. He had to let others understand how powerful bows and arrows are. When he shot a bird flying in mid-air with a bow and arrow, the audience was shocked, no less than after the Americans dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Effect.
The bow and arrow are really powerful. The range is far longer than that of the beasts, and the accuracy is much more accurate than throwing stones. With this weapon, ten people can deal with thirty people. Fortunately, they did not attack the salt, otherwise they would suffer. I don't know who it is.
The second program is to lift a boulder. Six men from the salt department babbled a boulder. This is the granite that Liu Yanzhi found fifty miles away in the middle of the night. It is not very heavy, it is always 500 catties.
He said, whoever can lift this stone, I will give him all the salt.
There are people who don't know the height of the earth to try, and the result is conceivable that human strength can't exceed the limit of the body structure, and no one can move a large stone weighing 500 kilograms.
Liu Yan was straightforward. He even threw the boulder into the sky with one hand and caught it. Finally, he drew a meteorite axe and split the boulder in half.
The audience was shocked and everyone was convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
The third show was also the finale. Liu Yanzhi performed a flying stunt. Now his identity as a **** of heaven was completely confirmed. Everyone in the market crouched down and bowed, not daring to get up for a long time.
The Yanbu became the highest-ranking tribe, Hui became the leader of the tribal alliance, and the next time was the stage for the tribes to pay tribute and express their sincerity.
In a word, if you receive a gift, you are soft. If you don't accept it, you can't do it. People are worried that you will call in at midnight to kill the door, so they can only accept the order and comfort the other party with good words. The **** has a good temper. The **** is not angry with you. Go back. Live your life well.
There are many kinds of gifts. The most common ones are practical daily necessities made of animal skins and bones and horns. There are also large items such as livestock and poultry. There is a tribe who gives gifts to them. They are ten strong men. The status is not as good as that of women. They are resources that can be used for gift exchange. Anyway, in matrilineal society, they can't make troubles and can only be planters and labor.
In fact, in the minds of the Yanbei and even all the people present, Liu Yanzhi, the male deity, actually laid hands on the female deity. Zhen Yue could not make a move, but she had a higher prestige. Who made her a woman?
To show their sincerity, the seaside tribe sent a lot of crystals, tortoiseshells, corals, and a precious big fish.
Liu Yanzhi knew this fish. He had seen a similar fish in Zuo Ci's cave, but he didn't know its origin and purpose.
Zhen Yue also knew this strange fish. She said it was called an electric ray. Like the electric eel, it could generate electricity as the name suggests.
"Electric rays There are 2,000 electric poles on the electric rays, and there are 2 million "electric plates". These electric plates are filled with gelatinous substances, which can provide insulation. Each "electric plate" has nerves distributed on the surface. At the tip, one side is a negative electrode and the other side is a positive electrode. The direction of current flows from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, that is, from the back of the electric rays to the ventral surface. Under the action of nerve impulses, these two dischargers can Nerve energy turns into electrical energy, which emits electricity. The electric shock of the ancient Greek black electric rays cures gout, headaches and other diseases."
Zhen Yue finished speaking in one breath and shook her head proudly: "Don't ask sister why she knows that she is a frequent visitor to the Children's Palace."
"Aren't we able to use electric lights?" Liu Yan joked, "Upstairs and downstairs, electric light telephones, in the Neolithic Age, it has crossed into the primary stage of socialism."
But he was thinking in his heart, what use would Zuo Ci use electric rays for? Maybe he used electric ray to refine alchemy?
The Spring Fair closed successfully, and the Salt Department caravan set out on its way home with a generous amount of goods and gifts, including an electric ray raised in the sea.
On the way back, Liu Yan asked Hui directly, where did the tribe’s salt come from?
Hui said that it was not that I deliberately concealed it, but that the gods knew that the secret of the salt did not exist for too long. It only began in her grandmother's generation. There was a hole in the mountain with dripping water. I accidentally entered the hole while hunting and tasted the bitter and salty dripping water. With a thought, I took the water to dry and got the white crystal, which is table salt.
"The cave is the sacred place of the Salt Ministry, and it is also the guarantee of life and safety, so this secret is only passed on from generation to generation." Hui said this, looking at Liu Yanzhi's expression, and said it was a gift from the gods.
"After I go back, take me to see." Liu Yan said straight.
Back at the Yanbei, Hui took a chance and took Liu Yan straight to the top of Cuiwei Mountain. When passing by Nimadui, Hui said that this was the place where we sacrificed to the gods, but the real holy place was in the cave.
There are many long vines on the cliffs. Hui grabbed the vines and descended more than ten meters. There was a weed-grown area. From a distance, it was not the entrance of the cave. When weed out the weeds and thorns, it was the holy cave of the salt department.
Liu Yanzhi knew the cave on the cliff, and he shut Liu Fei in this cave ten thousand years later.
Hui climbed into the cave, and Liu Yanzhi followed in. The inside of the cave was narrow and cramped. He couldn't straighten his waist, and he saw something like stalactites in the depths of the cave, dripping drop by drop, and there was already a large pool of water below. , Crawl over and dip it with your finger, taste it, it is indeed salty water.
Liu Yanzhi took out the meteorite chisel. He wanted to find out, but Hui didn't dare to stop it. What the gods said was what the gods said. There must be sufficient reason to do so.
The inside of the cave was wet, the stone was not hard, and the riddled with holes drilled by Liu Yan gradually revealed mystery. He found dinosaur bone fossils and many ammonite fossils. This is very strange. Dinosaurs are terrestrial animals, and ammonites are Nautilus is a kind of marine animal, how can the two be together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Suddenly a bold idea came to mind, he laughed, and suddenly opened up.
Sixty million years ago, when Cuiwei Mountain was not formed, this was Zhen Yue and his own home. Dinosaur bones and ammonite shells were all leftover kitchen waste from their eating. As for salt water, he had an idea. The large-scale storage of table salt and the accumulation of blocks of salt collected from the Great Salt Lake may be due to the fact that these table salt has passed through the long history over the years and is still working today.
There is God’s will in the underworld. Liu Yan sighed that the naming and survival of the salt department turned out to be an act of himself 60 million years ago. Strictly speaking, he should be the descendant of these primitive people, but from another perspective , Are these people their descendants?
Anyway, it was messy.
There is a flat stone wall at the exit of the cave, which seems to have some traces of lines. Liu Yanzhi carefully identified it. This is a graffiti on the stone wall with colored minerals. The painting is clearly a floating Kunpeng!
"Who painted this?" Liu Yan became excited. There are ancient rock paintings remaining, indicating that Kunpeng is not the first time to come to this time and space, which means that the wormhole at the bottom of the lake will appear again.
