The first demon

The holy land of the human race, that is, the small cliff on the shore of the East China Sea when Li Qingming was protecting the human race.

From Suiren to Yi An, the eight people from back then sat around a thick stone table, each with serious expressions.

"Brothers and sisters, when my younger sister practiced in recent years, her heart was always restless and difficult to meditate. Moreover, every time she felt heart palpitations, she pointed directly at the human race. But I don't know why?" Tao Wen's beautiful crescent eyebrows Wrinkled tightly, his expression full of worry.

Hearing these words, the faces of the flimsy people, the nests, and the black clothes froze, and then their eyes showed ecstasy. They all stood up and cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations to Sister Tao Wen, the road can be expected!"

"what!"

Now everyone was fooled by the actions of the three of them, what's going on?I can't even calm down to practice, is this a good thing?Is there still a long way to go?

"Brother Suiren, what's going on?" Zhong Jing, who had a delicate face, looked at Suiren with doubts on his face.

Suiren smiled slightly, and said: "Back then, eight of us went to Xiaoya, and begged Master to bestow a good law to save thousands of lives in our human race! Master only accepted us as disciples, They drove me off the small cliff. After that, they first made fire, then built houses, and finally created the method of sewing mantles and bowls. Each of these three changes brought infinite benefits and great benefits to our human race. progress. But before that, do you know how the three of us are progressing in our practice?"

Everyone looked at Suiren and shook their heads in confusion.

"Before that, the three of us basically never calmed down to practice! Every time we just entered the state of practice, we would feel restless, and our heart palpitations would point directly at the human race!" You Chao took the conversation and smiled lightly : "So we will congratulate Sister Tao Wen! Not only that, but our human civilization will rise to a big level!"

"It really is!"

Everyone looked at Tao Wen with inexplicable surprise, the blessing and joy in their eyes could hardly be concealed.

Tao Wen also covered her mouth in great joy, she had expected thousands of times, but she never expected such a result.While I was happy in my heart, I was also a little apprehensive and apprehensive.

"Brother Suiren, where should I find this opportunity?" Tao Wen looked at Suiren expectantly, his eyes sparkling.

"Hehe! Sister Tao Wen, the palpitations are in the clan, and the opportunity is naturally in the clan! Go to the various tribes of my human race, maybe you will get enlightenment soon!" Suiren was very happy with the brothers Among the sisters, a person who found opportunities appeared again.

...Since then, Tao Wen traveled among the various tribes of the human race, carefully observing the daily life of the tribe, not even letting go of a tiny detail.But after decades of this, Tao Wen still hasn't gained anything, which makes her feel extremely depressed.

On this day, when Tao Wen traveled to the Nanzhuang tribe on the north side of Buzhou Mountain, he suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.Coupled with the fact that he couldn't find the opportunity for a long time, he felt restless.So I decided to stay in this Nanzhuang tribe for one night, and then set off tomorrow.

This tribe is a tribe inhabited by humans and witches, half of which is divided between humans and witches, but the two tribes get along harmoniously.The people of the Wu Clan had just gone hunting in the mountains before, and it would take some time before they could return.

Tao Wen dragged his tired body to a huge wooden house made entirely of solid wood, and tapped on the wooden door.

A slightly hunchbacked old man dressed in black bearskin opened the wooden door and said, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

"Old man, I came from another tribe. Because there are many wild animals along the way, I haven't eaten for a long time, so I am thirsty, hungry and tired. Can I ask for some food from you, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow? Tao Wen obviously didn't want people to know that she was a monk, so she made an excuse and said.

The old man looked Tao Wen up and down, a gleam of red light flashed in his slightly lowered eyes, and he immediately nodded and said: "Girl, in this prehistoric world, the human race is one family! Let's stay here today. This old man will do it for you." You prepare some food and drink. Come in first!"

Tao Wen hurriedly thanked her, and stepped into the wooden house.The old man gave Tao Wen to a large wooden table, then turned and entered a nearby hut.

After just a cup of tea, the old man came out with a wooden tray.There were four saucers and one cup on the tray.The plates were also made of Jianmu, and two plates contained steaming barbecue meat, and the remaining two plates contained some juicy fruits.But that cup was made of stone, and it was filled with clear and bitter mountain spring water.

"Old man, thank you so much!" Tao Wen took the tray from the old man sincerely and put it on the wooden table.

"Girl, where is your tribe?" The old man sat opposite Tao Wen, and asked seemingly casually: "In this prehistoric world, liches are rampant. It would be better if you meet the witch tribe, my human tribe is an ally after all. If you encounter the monster race, you will be dead but not alive!"

Tao Wen looked carefully at the plate and cup in his hand, and said softly after hearing the words: "Thank you for your concern, old man! But now, the younger generation is in a critical period, and everything else is a big deal! So what if you lose your life?" !"

The crimson in the old man's eyes became more intense, and he even nodded in satisfaction.

"Grandpa, why isn't this water in a wooden cup?" Tao Wen grabbed the stone cup in his hand and asked suspiciously.

The old man smiled slightly and said: "Wood can absorb water, but stone is different. This mountain spring water is obtained from the mountain by our tribe. We wash animal skins, prey, bodies, etc. every day, all of which are inseparable from this mountain spring water. If we use wood Wouldn’t things be absorbed by the wood when they were used to hold them? Wouldn’t the water that my tribe and I have traveled for several miles and brought back in stone buckets be wasted in vain?”

"But old man, I have seen that stone bucket from other tribes. It is not only huge, but also extremely heavy. It takes three or four tribesmen to lift it. How can it be used to fetch water?" Tao Wen seemed to have thought of this problem long ago. , asked hastily.

"Hey!" The old man sighed softly, and said, "Right now, our clansmen use stone utensils in addition to wood utensils. If we don't use stones, what can we use to hold water?"

Tao Wen was stunned for a moment, and the palpitations became more and more intense, "Yes, if you don't use stones, what are you using? What are you using?"

The old man looked at Tao Wen's expression, smiled and said nothing.

"Grandpa, please take me to fetch water tomorrow!" Tao Wen woke up after being dazed for a while, and bowed solemnly to the old man.

The old man stroked his long beard and said, "Okay!"

Early the next morning, the old man led Tao Wen to the tribe. In the water fetching team that was in charge of fetching water today, he said to the team leader, "Xiao Yi, this little girl and I will accompany you to fetch water today."

The captain of the water fetching team was a sturdy man, about two meters tall. The man rubbed the back of his head, looked at the old man cautiously, and said, "God... oh, yes, Mr. Li!"

Tao Wen didn't doubt that he was there, and followed the water fetching team slowly towards the south.There are more than 300 strong and strong men in this team, and every three people are carrying a huge stone bucket about five feet high and about Zhang Xu wide at the mouth of the bucket.

The nearest mountain spring to the Nanzhuang tribe is in a big mountain ten miles away.

It took about an hour and a half for everyone to reach their destination.But around the mountain spring, Tao Wen found many cups, cups, bottles and jars made of clay.

The captain of the water fetching team arranged for the clansmen to pick up the water, while he squatted by the spring, constantly beating pieces of soil.

Tao Wen felt very curious, so he stepped forward and said, "Captain Yi, what are you doing?" He also picked up a dried clay cup and looked at it carefully.

Captain Yi smiled honestly, and said: "There are some things in the tribe that are not suitable to be stored with stone or wooden objects. I have had a dream since I was a child, is it possible to replace wooden or stone objects with other objects?" .I made these bottles and jars, but they are not practical. Among other things, water alone cannot last for a long time! But I still like to make it!"

Listening to these words, Tao Wen unconsciously fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, the old man who had been standing beside Captain Yi suddenly exclaimed: "Xiao Yi, why did the grass behind you catch fire? It's over, your treasures will most likely be burned to ashes ! "I saw a piece of grass not far behind the captain, burning for some reason, and the fire was raging.

Sweat stains appeared on Xiao Yi's forehead, but he scolded the old man in his heart: "Your uncle, what is it? It's on fire. It's obviously you who ordered it!" In desperation, Captain Yi rushed to the mountain spring and picked up a bottle of water. The mountain spring water scooped up by the big stone was poured on it.

However, the fire was too fierce, and Captain Yi only rescued a few clay pots that were still in good condition after being burned.

Tao Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over to pick up a fragment of a clay pot that was still warm.I squeezed it hard, but it didn't break, so I couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh".Fu put it in the palm of his hand and turned it upside down, but it was extremely light and agile.

Tao Wen was quite surprised, so he simply sat down cross-legged, rummaged through the pile of burnt clay pots, and unexpectedly picked out several fragments similar to the first one.These pieces are super hard, yet very dense and light in weight.

Holding a half-collapsed cup in his hand, Tao Wen walked slowly to the edge of the spring, stretched out his hand out of nowhere, scooped up half a cup of water with half of the burnt clay cup in his hand, and then quietly looked at the broken cup in his hand , in a daze.

Captain Yi looked at Tao Wen suspiciously, walked to the side of the old man, and said quietly: "My lord, why is this little human girl staring at the broken cup in her hand, in a daze?"

At this moment, the old man's eyes were red, but a very happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said hoarsely: "The opportunity has arrived!"

Captain Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

But when he heard Tao Wen over there, he suddenly laughed happily and said, "I understand!"
