back to prehistoric savage

Lin Yu remembered that he had read an interpretation of an ancient mythological story. The article discussed from a geological perspective that large-scale meteorite rain would indeed cause the kind of disaster described in the myth of Nuwa patching up the sky.

The so-called "the four poles are ruined, the nine states are split, the sky is not covered, and the earth is not contained" refers to the large-scale meteorite rain formed after the asteroid air explosion; "the fire is still burning" refers to the fire caused by the impact of meteorites on the ground; "water "The vast ocean never stops" is the result of global climate change.

And according to archaeological discoveries, in prehistoric times, an asteroid may have hit the earth in North China and exploded at high altitude to form a meteorite rain.

The direct evidence is some meteorite fragments left in the geology, landforms and stratigraphic sediments of the Northern Hebei Plain. In addition, the myth of Nuwa patching up the sky took place on the coast of the East China Sea. The East China Sea at that time referred to the ocean in the east, and The area where the Star Tribe is located matches!
However, this view can only explain some of the natural phenomena in Nuwa's patching of the sky, but it cannot explain the various behaviors of the subject Nuwa in the myth, especially the meaning of special actions such as "patching the sky" and "refining five-color stones".

Therefore, the "meteorite theory" is not mainstream in the academic world. In fact, more people, including Lin Yu, are inclined to the "Wuyi theory", which believes that at a certain period in ancient times, continuous heavy rains brought about a series of floods and geological disasters. People felt about this. Extremely frightened but unable to properly understand these phenomena.So, in order to eliminate these terrible disasters, Nuwa led people to carry out a series of witchcraft and ritual activities.

Once people agree with a certain point of view, it is easy to form a fixed mindset. If Zhang Tian had not mentioned it, Lin Yu would not have even thought about it. At this time, he was awakened. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that Zhang Tian's words were reasonable, and the meteorite's words were impossible. The various behaviors of explanation are no longer a problem now.

After all, five-color stones really exist!

"So...I want to mend the sky?!"

Lin Yu felt like he was about to faint.

Could it be that the sky is about to drop a huge meteorite on this people?
Although she often referred to herself as a descendant of Nuwa, it was just a joke. Who would have thought that Nuwa was actually myself, and she suddenly felt stressed.

Zhang Tian said: "We still have no idea what to do. Maybe we have to collect all the five-color stones to get the answer. Speaking of which, you, Kui, Zi Yan, Lang Boy and Xingyue are exactly five people, and they correspond to the five-color stones one by one. …”

There is one more piece of indirect evidence, making the possibility even higher.

"What about the tribesmen? Are they still taking refuge?"

"If you don't avoid it, the meteorite will not fall on our land. In fact, this did not happen, right?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment before understanding what he meant, and nodded: "You are right."

If a meteorite large enough to change the global climate fell on the coast of the East China Sea, researchers 1 years later would not conclude that the meteorite landed in Greenland.

They come from the future 1 years in the future and have already known the results to some extent.

but……

A complicated expression flashed across Lin Yu's eyes.

"Then let's do it!" She smiled confidently and firmly.

……

Zi Yan sat up suddenly, her back was already wet with sweat, but she didn't realize it, still trapped in a dream, with a look of panic on her face.

"you're awake?"

The other three people woke up a moment before her and were sitting around the fire pit to keep warm, but the air was as silent as death.

Crow noticed her strangeness and sighed: "It seems you have received the same guidance."

Zi Yan was absent-minded and murmured: "Everyone will die, everyone will die, how could..."

In her dream tonight, her mother suddenly changed her usual gentleness and scolded her sternly for doing something wrong. Her self-assertion would kill everyone!

Panic, uneasiness, self-blame, regret, annoyance...all kinds of emotions came to her heart. She bit her lower lip, clenched her fists, and her nails almost dug into her flesh. "You mean well, but sometimes good intentions can lead to bad things." Crow comforted her, "Now that things have happened, what we should be thinking about is how to solve them. Can we use the black stone to lift the summons?"

Zi Yan shook her head and said in a bitter tone: "It can't be done. The star is already on its way. No one can stop it from coming now."

"Then we can only follow the guidance of the sky, bring Xingyue back to Taoyuan, and seek help from the sky priests and wizards. Tian and Lin are the smartest people I have ever met. If it were them, they would definitely be able to think of a way!"

……

Zhang Tian has no better way. Although there are myths as a guide, there are only a few descriptions of Nuwa patching up the sky in "Huainanzi", and there is really not much content for reference.

For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time, and get the black stone first.

With Nebula's personality, if he directly told him that the stars they summoned would destroy the world, he would definitely not believe it, and he would definitely not hand over the Black Stone.

Of course, grabbing hard is one way, but it is only the last resort.When faced with a crisis, everyone should work together to overcome the crisis instead of fighting among themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Tian decided to start with Xingyue.

Xingyue is relatively simple, and the little girl has never left home for a long time and has never seen the world, so she is easy to fool.

According to the descriptions of Zi Yan and others, Nebula is most likely a girl-controller. As long as he gets rid of his sister and has his sister come forward to persuade him, it will be much easier.What's more, Xingyue is the star priest, and the black stone originally belongs to her, and her brother just keeps it for him.

On the second day after the dream, Zhang Tian received a prayer saying that Xingyue was weak and her brother was firmly opposed to her going out in the cold, so he needed some time to do ideological work for the brother and sister.

Of course, Zi Yan was careful and did not tell Xingyun to take Xingyue back to Taoyuan, otherwise Xingyun would object even more fiercely.After "kidnapping" the little girl out, she and the wolf boy have the final say on where to go.

Zhang Tian is not in a hurry. Even if the world will be destroyed tomorrow, life will continue today.

Except for him and Lin Yu, no one in the tribe knew anything about the coming crisis. Everyone was in full swing preparing for the sacrificial ceremony: killing pigs and cattle, spinning thread and making clothes, making wine and vinegar, singing and dancing...

After five years of breeding, the number of pigs has exceeded three digits. The breeding time of cattle is short. Counting the captured bison, there are only thirty or forty heads. Some cattle with extraordinary talents have been put into cultivated land. Due to the small number, currently Only Lin Yu’s seed fields are cultivated with oxen.

When the first cow went to the ground, Zhang Tian called everyone to watch. He might not live to see the day when cattle farming became popular, but as long as he left the impression on the tribe that cattle farming was far more efficient and labor-saving than human farming, that day would come sooner or later. will come.

Among all the animals raised by the clan, dogs are second only to bamboo rats in number.

Although pigs are rare, a few are still slaughtered and sacrificed during festivals; although cattle are precious, a lucky one will be randomly selected to be sacrificed to the sky; only dogs are so close to the hunters that even if they die, they will not bear to eat them, but will eat them. They were buried in the ground and slept together with their deceased clan members.

Zhang Tian did not guide the tribesmen to do this. Everything happened naturally. When food and warmth no longer become a problem, and when material needs are met, emotional needs will naturally become more and more important.This is not a bad thing.

Zhang Tian originally planned to discuss mining matters with his tribe, but now that something like this happened, he had to put it on hold for the time being.

After returning from Hedong, the faith value has been increasing, and now it has risen to more than 6300.

After the base number has become larger, the increase is much higher than before just based on the number of newborns every year. When the seaside tribes are brought under the command of the sky, I wonder if the faith value can exceed [-].

Zhang Tian always felt that he would play a role in the crisis. Otherwise, it would be better to let Dr. Lin travel through time alone. Why is he here?

He cannot use the five-color stone, and the only thing he has is his faith value.

Perhaps the divine spell corresponding to [-] points of faith can come in handy. (End of chapter)
