Chapter 7 Guidance from the Sky

Zhang Tian didn't let them migrate under the guise of their ancestors as soon as he came up. Radical reforms will only usher in fierce resistance. Any attempt to change other people's thinking should be done step by step, and he is not ready to start yet, so don't worry.

[Faith value: 5]

As soon as the words fell, the faith value immediately increased by 5 points.

The setting of faith in the game, follow the belief is spirit, do not believe it is nothing, it comes from the heart, and there is no formal requirement, even if a person never prays, as long as he truly believes that there is a god above his head, he believes that the sky will Bring him guidance and revelation, and he is a believer.

The belief value increased by 5 points, which means that 5 people fully accepted Zhang Tian's words, and they believed that they would be guided by their ancestors if they believed in the sky.

Considering that the tribe has not yet developed totem worship, reproductive worship or other primitive beliefs, and has no concept of supernatural existence such as gods, he followed his grandmother's words and pushed the ancestors to the front. Compared with the untouchable sky , ancestors are clearly more approachable and convincing.

Everyone felt sorry for him. It turned out that he often looked up at the sky for such a reason... There were some people in the tribe who did not understand his behavior, but now they all suddenly realized that, from ignorance to sympathy and pity.

Lan Hua came over and hugged Zhang Tian, ​​like a mother hugging a wounded child. She did this completely out of instinct. People at this time may not use positive and warm words to soothe their hearts, but they have learned to use actions to practice the most primitive. comfort.

Grandma stared at the dancing flames, dazed.

Occasionally she would hear her mother's or her ancestor's voice, but it was usually in a dream, and sometimes she would wake up in tears and not remember what her mother had said.

Can you hear your mother's voice even if you look up at the sky?

Yes, my mother clearly said that she will become a star in the sky, but I just stared at my feet and the people around me, but I forgot to look up at the sky and look at my mother.

Grandma didn't doubt Zhang Tian's words, but suddenly felt a little sentimental. She couldn't help but think that it would be nice if she always looked up at the sky when she was a child.

Xiao was also a little sad, but he was even more curious. His curiosity has always been strong, and he couldn't help asking: "What is prayer?"

"Prayer is looking up at the sky and telling the sky what you want."

Zhang Tian directly defines the object of prayer as the sky.

"Oh!" Xiao Xiao suddenly realized, "Then your wish must be hearing your mother's voice. Can your wish come true just by praying?"

This is of course impossible, but seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, animal instinct, fish have to be baited before taking the bait. The actual god-given power of kings and spending money to atone for sins all depend on people's needs.

Primitive people’s wishes are nothing more than food and clothing, and children grow up safely. Zhang Tianxin said that there is no need to bother the gods for this request, and I can fulfill it for you with my hard work.

So he incited everyone to say: "I don't know about this, you can try it, everyone can try it."

Xiao, Bai and a group of children immediately jumped up, ran outside the cave, and looked up at the sky.

Everyone followed, looking eager to try, including the elderly grandmother who didn't often leave the cave.

It's just a wish to the sky, and you won't lose anything, so why not do it?It’s best if it’s realized, and if it’s not realized, it’s a group activity, and it’s not a loss anyway.

Everyone prayed to the sky with such a mentality. The men hoped to hunt more wild animals tomorrow, the women hoped to collect more plants tomorrow, and the children hoped that they would not be hungry tomorrow. Grandma’s level is still high, and she hoped that the cold weather would Gone are the days, and the tribe goes on forever.

After everyone finished praying, Zhang Tian claimed that he heard the voice again and got new guidance.

"We need more rods and hooks, more bamboo cages for fish."

This is exactly what the men hoped for. This group of strong and strong savages thought that fishing and hunting were the same thing. They thought that even two children could catch a cage full of fish. Not a lot.

They ran into the hole excitedly, and picked bamboo for making fishing rods with great interest.

However, the amount of bamboo in stock is limited, and not everyone can get it.

The tiger's head and tiger's claws fell on the same bamboo. They both said that they picked it first, and each grabbed one end of the bamboo and screamed at each other.

It's hard to tell the winner from the voice.

Grandma asked them to have a wrestling competition according to the tradition of the tribe, and whoever wins will get it.

Not only the tiger's head and tiger's claws, the men in dispute lifted up their skirts one after another, grabbed each other's arms and collided with each other's strength and skills. The applause from the women inspired all the wildness flowing in their blood, and their fighting spirit became more high-spirited.

Contrary to the dullness of last night, today everyone had a full stomach and learned that there is a way to catch fish in the river, and they felt very comfortable.

The night is thicker, the flames are more intense, the men are fighting together, venting their excess energy in the most primitive and savage way, and the vigorous hormonal atmosphere fills the whole cave.

Zhang Tian spent two faith points to exchange for the remaining two files, the round file and the half-round file head, which happened to be the same set as the previous flat file, and there was no longer an option for files in the exchangeable resources.

Using the ready-made fishhooks and bamboo cages as references, he taught the women to grind fishhooks and weave bamboo cages.

"what is this?"

Lan Hua noticed that Zhang Tian was holding a handful of thin black sticks in his hand.

"A file, sharpen things faster with this."

Zhang Tian took a broken bone and put it on a stone slab, and ground it with a file. The tip of the broken bone quickly became slender and sharp.

Everyone was eye-opening and amazed, this is much faster than the stone knife!
"How is this done?"

"When I looked up at the sky, it suddenly fell from the sky. I thought it must be a gift from the sky."

Zhang Tian gave three files to orchids, safflowers and bamboo leaves respectively, and taught them how to use modern tools.

[Faith value: 9]

In an instant, 6 people sincerely believed in the great power of the sky.

Sure enough, the real thing is more convincing.

The men who competed with each other decided the winner one after another. The winning man beat his chest and howled, showing off his power, and then boldly picked up his own prize and went outside the cave to make a fishing rod.

The man who was defeated was dejected, and returned to the cave in desperation, grinding his stone ax with his back molars, holding back his energy secretly, thinking that this broken bamboo is worthless, and he will go to the mountains to pick better ones at dawn tomorrow. !

Zhang Tian didn't make them wait so long, so he gave them a very important task in the name of the sky: go outside to collect bark, the more the better!
Hearing that it was very important, the losers immediately became energetic, picked up the stone axes and vigorously felled the trees near the cave, and carefully peeled off the bark.

There is no need to work after dark, but at this time it is a busy scene. No matter men or women, no matter how old or young, no one wants to rest.

Looking at the busy clansmen, Grandma felt comforted and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she has been very calm these days, and has been comforting the tribe with her stories and experiences, she is actually more anxious than anyone else.

The weather was unnaturally cold, she had faintly noticed it.

Even the coldest day she had ever experienced was not like it is now. After the hottest time, it suddenly cooled down.

The period of harvesting and storing food is skipped.

This was something she had never seen before.

Fortunately, things seem to be resolved.

She turned her head to look at the bright night sky.

Perhaps as the sky said, all these are the guidance of the ancestors.

She looked at the star closest to the moon, which seemed to be brighter.
