Chapter 147 White Stone and Blue Stone

He tilted his head, his still childish face was full of doubts.

What does painting have to do with ancestors?She doesn't understand.

"You wait for me."

Zhang Tian went to get the painted pottery for the sacrifice.

This batch of painted pottery is completed by the tribe independently from the collection and filtration of clay to the shaping, drying, coloring and firing of the pottery. The finished products have a high yield rate, good color, and high quality.

Only their painters are really not flattering.

It can't even be called a painting, just a random combination of lines, spots, and grotesque patterns. There is no theme, no conception, and no technique. It is all emotion.

Compared with his clansmen, He can be called a master of painting.

Zhang Tian had no choice but to pull out the generals from the box, picked two slightly visible ones, and brought them to He.

"Look, this is the pottery we prepared for our ancestors. When offering sacrifices to heaven, we will use these pottery to hold food for our ancestors to enjoy."

He's eyes lit up. She had heard that the pottery of the Dahe Tribe was thinner and more beautiful than that of her own tribe, but she was used to thick and dark pottery. The maple-like color attracts attention.

She took the clay pot from Zhang Tian's hand, and when her fingers touched the cold pottery body, she was shocked again.

So smooth!
The Yougu tribe uses the most primitive patch method to make pottery, splicing pieces of clay together, and then kneading them into shapes. This method is not only inefficient, but also leads to uneven distribution of clay, not to mention affecting the yield rate. Most of the finished products are thick and thin. Uneven, uneven.

It is incomparable with these two clay pots!
He tapped the pottery body again, the sound was clear and pleasant, obviously it was extremely high-quality pottery.

Amazing!
As an associate priest, she learned how to make pottery from her mother.Pottery is a gift from the earth. Kui Chang said that the process of firing pottery is essentially the process of gestation and production by the earth. To make high-quality pottery is almost as difficult as her pregnancy.

Tao also has some black and crimson stripes on his body.

She didn't take it seriously at first, because the pottery of the Yougu tribe is black and red, but after a closer look, she found that these stripes were either horizontal and vertical, or undulating and winding like mountains. It was artificially drawn!
The strange thing is that no matter how hard she rubs those stripes, the color doesn't fade at all. Is this what God said "better paint"?

"What was this painted with?"

When talking about the fields he is familiar with, He speaks much more smoothly.

"Just use the stones you usually paint on."

"But... I don't understand."

He wiped the stripes on Tao's body vigorously, and then spread out the clean palms for the two of them to see.

Zhang Tian knew that she wanted to ask why it wouldn't fade, so he smiled and explained patiently: "This is called painted pottery. First paint on the pottery blank, and then put it in the pottery kiln for firing, so it won't fall off. Do you want to make it?" Such pottery? You must be better at drawing than all of us!"

"miss you!"

He's eyes lit up, and without thinking, she was so excited just thinking about drawing on such a beautiful pottery!She even had an idea of ​​what to draw, so she drew Tian and Lin, a pair of different boys and girls.

Zhang Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "Then after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, you can go to our tribe to play for a few days, okay?"

He abducted the little girl openly.

He has observed that this girl deliberately keeps a distance from other children, neither participating in chatting nor playing with them, most likely because of stuttering, unable to blend in smoothly, and a very shy personality, she is usually not very popular in the tribe see you.

As long as she dares to come, he dares to give her a warm home and recognize her as her brother.

The flow and exchange of personnel between tribes is not uncommon. As long as such an insignificant little girl is willing to "immigrate" and become a Dahe people, the Yougu tribe will not mind.

He counted heavily until Ho took the two to meet her priest mother.

When Kui saw her daughter talking happily with Tian and Lin from the Dahe Tribe, and even showed excited and happy expressions, she was very happy.

She knew that many clansmen felt uneasy about He taking over the post of priest in the future. Although her daughter's performance in some aspects was indeed unsatisfactory, Kui always believed that her daughter was no worse than anyone else, and that He's blood of the earth would guide her to grow up. For an excellent priest.

The daughter always paints and draws on the cave wall alone, and rarely plays and fights with other children. The same is true with the children of the Big Tree Tribe these two days, but the situation is completely different when she meets the priests and wizards of the Dahe Tribe. Isn't it the guidance of the earth?
Aoi looked at the three people who were talking with her from a distance, and was filled with relief.

Not long after, she saw her daughter walking towards her with Tian and Lin, and she couldn't help sitting up straight.

He is very happy to go to the Dahe Tribe. On the one hand, the painted pottery is very attractive. On the other hand, she likes these two peers, and she feels very comfortable getting along with them.

But this needs to be approved by the mother.

Before she had time to explain, Miao on the side said first, "My God, Lin! This is our earth priest, Kui."

"Mother……"

He called his mother and wanted to explain the reason, but he was a little bit stuck. This pause immediately lost the dominant position of the topic.

Her mom got into a chat with two "child prodigies" and she couldn't get a word in at all.

Kui didn't notice her daughter's hesitancy to speak, her attention was all on Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, from the moment they entered the cave, she was silently observing them.

Miao had described the pottery brought by the Dahe Tribe in detail many times, and she had seen the actual objects, so she was prepared for it, but even Miao did not expect that in the short time after he left, the pottery-making level of the Dahe Tribe would rise again. Some refinement, the emergence of colorful colors!
The ancestors really favored them!So much knowledge to impart to them!

Miao was very envious, and Kui was also deeply shocked. She knew very well that the pottery making level of the Dahe Tribe had far surpassed her, and the gap would widen and widen.

She looked at the two people with outstanding appearance, one was a priest who was guided by the sky, and the other was a wizard with the blood of the earth. Perhaps as Miao said, the Dahe Tribe possessed both the power of the sky and the earth, so they could bake such a perfect Pottery, making all kinds of novelty weapons and tools.

She looked at Lin: "I heard from Miao that you have a white stone that can purify water?"

As an earth priest, what she cares most about is the power of the earth.

Without further ado, Lin Yu directly demonstrated it to her.

When the round and smooth white stone sank into the water, the turbid water became clear and translucent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Aoi can almost conclude that this white stone, like her bluestone, is an extremely precious spirit stone, and Lin, who can exert the function of a spirit stone, undoubtedly has the blood of the earth!
But she also wanted to make a final confirmation.

"Can I try?"

If her speculation is correct, then she, who has the blood of the earth, should also play the role of Shiraishi.

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.Aoi's demeanor and tone showed a high level of confidence. She seemed convinced that she could use the white stone to purify the sewage.

Does the so-called blood of the earth really exist?
Zhang and Lin watched Kui put Baishi into another cup of sewage without blinking, as if there was no response?
wrong!It's not that there is no response, it is that the response is slow!

The speed of purification is related to the volume of water. Generally speaking, it only takes a blink of an eye to purify a glass of water. Zhang Tian got used to Lin Yu's speed. Seeing that Baishi was thrown down, but the water remained unchanged, he thought it hadn't worked.

But after a few breaths, the water became much clearer, Shiraishi was functioning!

Everyone present was taken aback, including He who was preoccupied.

Aoi was far more surprised than the others.

Now, there are two things she can be sure of.

First, there is no doubt that Baishi is a spirit stone.

Second, this girl is far more powerful than her!
The power of the priest of the earth is reflected in the control of the spirit stone. The power of each generation of priests of the Yougu tribe is different. Kui's power is very strong. She uses bluestone to plant grains, and the output is much higher than that of the previous priest. Purifying the same glass of water, the speed difference is so large, the gap between her and Lin can be seen.

"Have you ever seen this kind of stone?" Lin Yu asked, "Or according to what you call it, a spirit stone. You also have a spirit stone, right? I guess, the function of your spirit stone is related to planting .”

The grain yield of the Yougu Tribe is unreasonably high. This is the only reasonable explanation she can think of, even though this explanation is very unscientific, the kind that will be ridiculed if written in a paper.

Aoi turned her head and stared at Miao.

Miao immediately shook her head: "It's not me! I didn't say anything!"

"This is my wild guess." Lin Yu helped him out, "I have planted grains before, and I have used the planting method you used before. Normally, it is impossible to harvest so many grains, so I thought, you may borrow The power of the spirit stone."

"You guessed it right, the spirit stone I have is a bluestone, buried in the ground when planting, it can increase the yield of grain."

Aoi told the truth, and took out a round and smooth blue stone from the inner pocket of her clothes.

bluestone!

Coincidence?

The story of Nuwa mending the sky flashed through Zhang Tian's mind. The story was originally told to explain Lin Yu's suspicious behavior of throwing stones into the water bag to the tribe, and at the same time confirm her identity as a descendant of Nuwa and a contemporary wizard.

The white stone is the five-color stone left over by Nuwa who repaired the sky. This statement is purely fabricated. When he was careless, he never dreamed that magical stones of other colors would actually appear.

Accidentally hit it right?
Zhang Tian finally understood why the members of the Yougu Tribe were so shocked when they heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky for the first time.

The two sides compared the white stone and the blue stone together. The size and shape are exactly the same, as if they were mass-produced with the same mold!

Only the color is different, but no matter white or blue, the color is pure, uniform and moist, even the top quality jade can't keep up!
But these two stones are obviously not jade, nor are they flint, quartz, azurite, or any kind of stone they are familiar with.

"Is this white stone passed down to you by your ancestors?" Aoi asked.

Lin Yu nodded and said yes, the white stone was unearthed from a site more than 1 years ago, and it is correct to say that it is the heritage of the ancestors.

Zhang Tianzheng said: "Lin is a descendant of Nuwa, and her white stone was inherited from Nuwa. After Nuwa mended the sky, the remaining five-color stones were scattered everywhere. Only this white stone was preserved by Lin's ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. Come down until it reaches Lin's hands."

Lin Yu understood Zhang Tian's intentions, and followed his words: "You can play the function of the five-color stone, which means that you are also a descendant of Nuwa, and Nuwa is our common ancestor."

Hearing what Lin said, Aoi was calm on the surface, secretly happy in her heart.

She has long been familiar with the story of Nuwa repairing the sky, and the existence of bluestone and whitestone has proved the truth of this story. When she thinks that her ancestors are so great and prominent, she feels very honored.

At the same time, she was ashamed of her own weakness. Compared with Nuwa who could use five spirit stones to mend the sky, her power was too weak, and she was ashamed of her ancestors.

But what Lin Yu said next had a strong impact on her cognition.

"What you think is the blood of the earth is actually the blood of Nuwa. You, like me, are also a wizard."

Kui's eyelids twitched wildly. She has been a priest of the earth all her life. Such a sensational judgment is really unacceptable.

She wanted to refute, so she opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.Although Lin's statement is harsh, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Isn't the ancestor Nuwa a wizard?

Lin Yu first set the tone, and then changed the topic: "But the power of the earth does exist, and the five-color stone is indeed composed of the aura and power of the earth. When Nuwa was still alive, people called her the daughter of the earth. .”

Zhang Tian looked at the serious Lin Yu with a little surprise. Unexpectedly, Dr. Lin also behaved like a fool, so he almost believed it!
People like to be affirmed, and Kui's words sounded very pleasant to her ears, and she smiled and said, "So we should sacrifice to the earth."

"Have you heard the story of Fuxi?" Zhang Tian asked suddenly.

Aoi nodded.After the hunters came back, they told the stories of each ancestor over and over again, and she can recite them now.

"After Nuwa's death, her elder brother Fuxi mastered the power of the sky and discovered that the sky and the earth are closely related. A long time ago, they were not separated from each other, and they were one and the same."

"I've also heard the story of Pan Gu creating the world."

The story spread faster than Zhang Tian expected, which saved him a lot of tongue.

He returned to the original question and said: "Our ancestors did sacrifice to the earth, but never separately, but at the same time. This time we sacrifice to the sky, we will also sacrifice to the earth at the same time."

Sacrifice to heaven and earth!

The three members of Yougu Tribe were shocked!
A road never imagined lay before them, full of temptation.Who wouldn't want to have the power of the sky and the earth at the same time?
Zhang Tian said so much, in fact, there is only one purpose, he wants the priest of the earth to understand that the beliefs of the sky and the earth can be integrated.

He saw the expressions of the three of them, and struck while the iron was hot: "The ancestor said something to me just now, and this is a guide for you."

Aoi immediately sat upright, with a serious face, waiting anxiously and expectantly for him to convey the guidance of his ancestors.

Zhang Tian said in a very serious tone: "My ancestors asked me to tell you that when you step on the ground, don't forget to look up at the sky."
