Chapter 86 There is also a gap (please subscribe!)
"That's right!" Zhang Tian and Xiao sang together, "The water contains the power of the sky, and the soil contains the power of the earth, so pottery is not only a gift from the earth, but also a gift from the sky!"

The clansmen suddenly realized.

"No no no! There must be something wrong!"

Miao couldn't accept it. He grew up listening to stories about pottery told by his elders. Every story was related to the earth. No one had ever mentioned the sky. If there is the power of the sky in the pottery, how could the priests of the earth not know it?
This has greatly impacted his long-held notions.

As long as he knows a little about the water cycle, he can refute Zhang Tian to pieces, but he doesn't know anything about it. He can only deny it repeatedly, but he can't think of how to refute it forcefully.

His people were even more speechless. After all, it is an obvious and indisputable fact that rain falls from the sky. In this way, the water on the earth does come from the sky, and it seems reasonable to contain the power of the sky.

Zhang Tian suddenly said: "Can you show us your pottery? You can also look at our pottery."

Miao had wanted to do this a long time ago, and he was puzzled by the row of high-quality red pottery. He suspected that they were made out of mud to put on a show!
He got up and walked to the cave wall, and found that the big belly of the water urn was full of water, and his expression changed immediately.

Unfired pottery blanks cannot hold water, and he knows this better than anyone else. Obviously, these water urns are real pottery.

He tapped the body of the pottery with his knuckles, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound. It was indeed a high-quality pottery, with a round body and uniform color. What surprised him even more was that the walls of these water jars were thinner than his fingers. Underneath, the two clay pots he brought seemed particularly bulky.

He couldn't understand, how could such a thin wall be impervious to water?

Zhang Tian saw the look of surprise on Miao's face, and knew that he had noticed that even if they were both pottery, there was a gap.

The pottery of the Yougu tribe is obviously made by the most primitive lamination method, and the clay is not filtered before making pottery, and the temperature is low during firing, so it is difficult to obtain dense and beautiful pottery.

"I guess," Zhang Tian patted the pottery in his arms lightly, and said in a very serious tone, "It's not easy for you to fire pottery like this?"

Miao sighed and said: "This is inevitable. The power of the earth is not endless. We have already grown abundant grains by relying on the power of the earth, so how can we expect to rely on the power of the earth to make high-quality pottery?"

Zhang Tianzheng said: "It may not be enough to rely on the power of the earth alone, why not try to use the power of the sky? The sky treats everyone equally, as long as you look up at the sky and pray to the sky from the bottom of your heart, the sky will give you guidance."

"This……"

Miao and his clansmen resisted a little, hesitated to speak.

The Yougu tribe has believed in the earth for generations, and it is impossible to convert them with these few words.

Zhang Tian knew it well, he smiled and said: "In fact, there is no difference between the sky and the earth. You may not know that a long, long time ago, the sky and the earth were not facing each other as far away as they are now, but were closely connected. Regardless of each other, the sky is the earth, and the earth is the sky."

The guests were shocked!
From the moment they stepped into the territory of the Great River Tribe, they were continuously frightened, but no matter how bizarre the things they saw before, no matter how unbelievable the words they heard, they were not as shocking as these words!

Just imagining the scene described by Zhang Tian, ​​they felt their scalps go numb, and the Tian Ling Gai was about to fly!
Miao looked at the other members of the Dahe Tribe in horror. The elders should have stopped, reprimanded and even used sticks to educate the children in the tribe when they uttered such nonsense, but he suddenly found that the elders of the Dahe Tribe were not only unmoved, Instead, with a smile on his face, he obviously took the shocking remarks seriously.

Lanhua saw the panic of the guests and explained: "I forgot to introduce you. That child is called Tian. He was guided by the sky and passed on the knowledge of his ancestors. When this tribal meeting is over, he will lead us and Dashu The tribe holds a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, and by then, he will officially become our sky priest!"

The guests were greatly shocked. There are priests in their tribe, so they can understand what kind of priests exist. They couldn't help but look at Zhang Tian a few more times. It was still difficult to connect this guy with strange hair with the powerful and mysterious priest.

Grandma, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up: "Heaven is telling the story of our ancestors. It is a long time away from us. It's normal for you not to know."

Even his mother said so, and Miao had to re-examine this unremarkable young man and his shocking remarks. He asked, "What kind of story is it? Can you tell us too?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Xiao got up and ran to the crowd of Yougu tribe to sit down. He liked to tell the guests the legendary stories of the great ancestors. Every time he saw the expressions of horror, fear and reverence on the faces of the guests, he felt indescribable. carefree.

He thought, no wonder Tian likes to tell stories so much!

He vividly told the guests the story of Pan Gu's creation of the world.

Lan Hua slapped her head and said, "Look at me, I made you guys sit for so long, and I forgot to get you something to eat!"

Then he ordered: "Hurry up and boil water and cook rice and vegetables!"

Miao immediately said: "Use our grains! It's getting colder in the forest, it's not easy for you to gather food..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw women coming out from the depths of the cave, holding bamboo baskets in their hands, which were filled with rich food, vegetables, meat, fruits, grains... everything!
Miao's voice stopped abruptly, and her jaw almost fell to the ground!

The Dahe Tribe still has so much surplus food!
The hunters who were listening to the story also saw it. Once their eyes fell on the shiny meat, they couldn't take it back, and they were suddenly absent-minded.

Xiao asked angrily: "How about I wait until you have eaten?"

Miao immediately restrained his gaffe expression, and looked at his clansmen again, these young people were drooling, the word gaffe was not enough to describe them, it was simply embarrassing!
Miao Qi didn't come anywhere, and said in a deep voice, "Gu, Jing, are you hungry?"

The young hunters were startled, they quickly looked away, and swallowed back the saliva rushing to their mouths.

Miao's mouth was full of righteousness, but his eyes couldn't help looking at the women who were busy at the entrance of the cave.

When he came, he noticed the red earthen platform at the entrance of the cave, and thought it was something like an altar, which was originally used for cooking.

He saw the women lighting a fire in the hearth, and the bright yellow flame rushed straight up and burst out from the hole above. The women put clay pots and pots on the flame to block the hole, and soon there was steaming heat. rising.
