Chapter 70

"Do any of you remember the name of our first ancestor, the first ancestor?"

The clansmen shook their heads blankly, without written records, who would remember people and events from so long ago?Those who have lived for more than three generations are collectively referred to as ancestors.

Zhang Tianzheng said: "Our first ancestor was called Pangu, he was the first person in the world, and he is also the common ancestor of all people on the earth today."

"He is the first person in the world..."

Bai muttered, suddenly his brain opened, and he asked: "Then he doesn't have a mother? Where did he come from without a mother?"

Everyone including Zhang Tian was taken aback.

"good question!"

Zhang Tian reacted quickly, cast admiring glances at Bai who was sitting next to Lin Yu, and explained: "Pangu is different from us, a man and a woman gave birth to us, and Pangu was born from the combination of the sky and the earth." .”

The clansmen were shocked once again, they never thought that the sky and the earth can be combined like people!I couldn't help thinking: the sky is so vast, the earth is so vast, how strong the people they were born must be!
Xiao Xiao was puzzled and asked, "How can the sky and the earth be combined? I mean, the distance between the sky and the earth is so far...you know what I mean?"

Xiao Xiao, who is approaching adulthood, knows a little bit of physiological knowledge, and knows that the so-called union requires negative distance contact. In front of his younger siblings, he can't speak too bluntly.

Zhang Tian understood what he meant, and said seriously: "We see that the sky and the earth are far apart, but in fact, a long, long time ago, the sky and the earth were not separated, they were connected together, just like a big bird egg. Or a cave with no exit."

The clansmen couldn't imagine what it would be like if the sky and the earth were connected together, but they lived in caves every day. When they thought that the world was only as big as a cave, there was no exit, and they couldn't go anywhere, they felt very depressed.

Bai asked directly: "Isn't that boring and aggrieved?"

"That's right." Zhang Tian nodded, "After Pan Gu was born, he found himself trapped in a small space surrounded by darkness. He felt very bored and aggrieved, so he made an ax out of stones and pointed forward hard. Hack it!"

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, their hearts raised in their throats.

"Pangu is the son of heaven and earth. He has more power than Nuwa. When he struck out with an axe, the sky and earth were instantly split in half! The light and clear part rose up, rising higher and higher, and finally became the sky. ; and the heavy, turbid part settled down, and finally formed the earth."

"When the sky and the earth were just separated, the distance was not far away. Pan Gu was worried that the two would reunite, so he stepped on the ground and held the sky above his head. He stood between the sky and the earth, and exerted force with his hands and feet, so that the two would accelerate away."

"Since then, the sky has risen by one foot every day, the earth has sunk by one foot every day, and Pangu's body has grown taller and taller accordingly. Day after day, until a long, long time later, the sky and the earth finally became What we see now, they are far away from each other and can never be together again."

Hearing this, everyone sat up straight, their hearts were shocked, and their faces were solemn.

Bai eagerly asked: "Then what happened afterwards? How is Pan Gu?"

Zhang Tian sighed and said: "After the separation of heaven and earth, Pangu felt very tired, so he lay down on the ground to rest. However, the creation of heaven and earth used up all his strength. Once he fell asleep, he never got up again."

Bai exclaimed "Ah", and held Lin Yu's arm tightly, Lin Yu smiled and gently stroked her black hair.

The clansmen also showed regret and sadness.

"But the story is not over yet."

Everyone's attention returned to Zhang Tian again, and they pricked up their ears and waited for the following.

Zhang Tian went on to say: "Pangu is the son of heaven and earth, and his death is destined to be unusual."

"After his death, his eyes rose into the sky, his left eye became the sun, his right eye the moon; his breath became the wind and clouds; his hands, feet and body became mountains; his blood became rivers; his skin and hair into flowers and trees; teeth and bones into all kinds of hard stones..."

"The mountain forest we live in now was moved by our ancestor Yugong from the upper reaches of the river. It was a barren mountain at first, because it contained the divine power of Pangu, so it was able to grow forests, flowers and plants, and attract wild animals."

Everyone suddenly realized that from Pangu who created the world to Nuwa who repaired the sky, to Houyi who shot the sun, to Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs, to Yugong who moved mountains, and to their generation, although their ancestors had already left them, But their knowledge and spirit have been passed down from generation to generation and have never been cut off.

Zhang Tian concludes today's story: "What Pangu left us is far more than this small cave. In the future, if we have the opportunity, we should go to farther places to see. As long as we are between the heaven and the earth, the stars in the sky will shine , the inheritance of the ancestors is all over the land, no matter where you go, you will be blessed by the ancestors."

It was late at night, and the clansmen fell asleep with longing for their ancestors and distant places.

Tonight, Zhang Tian and Hutou will be on vigil.

As always, Zhang Tianshou was in the first half of the night.

He crept out of the cave, built a fire at the entrance of the cave, and continued to make bricks with molds.

After a while, soft footsteps sounded from behind. Looking back, it was Dr. Lin.

"Want to take a bath?" Zhang Tian asked casually.

"No... Seeing that you are tired, let me help you with some work."

"Anyway, I have to watch the night, just find something to do, here." Zhang Tian handed her the mold, "fill the clay into the mold, compact it and then take it out."

Lin Yu said "hmm", sat down beside him, and tied up her loose hair again, revealing her fair and slender neckline.

"What do you make bricks for?"

"Set up a kiln to fire pottery."

"You can also build pottery kilns."

"It sounds grand, but it's actually very simple. I guarantee you will understand it at a glance."

"Excellent... I also prayed to the sky today. You said you need faith, but I don't know if mine counts? I will contribute one to you."

Today's faith value has increased by 15 points, Zhang Tian really doesn't know if she is there.

But he can verify it.

[You will use divine magic to dream, please choose the recipient. 】

He meditated on Lin Yu's name and face in his heart.

【Tonight, you will enter Lin Yu's dream, please leave the oracle you want to convey. 】

cancel.

"Forget it, I have received your faith."

"True or not?" Lin Yu was slightly nervous, "Then... what can you do?"

Zhang Tian smiled and said, "I can entrust you with dreams, just like your ancestors."

"puff!"

Lin Yu laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, I'm not so boring." Zhang Tian shrugged, "If you dream about me one day, it's definitely not because of me."

"Who would dream of you!"

Lin Yu took a sip, maybe the bonfire was burning hotter, her face was a little red and hot.

The two chatted one after another, and bricks were made one after another.

Zhang Tian built these wet adobes around the fire, and made four large pots, two pots and eight bowls with the remaining clay, and put them next to the fire to bake.

I hope it doesn't rain... He looked at the sky and couldn't help praying.
