Chapter 89 The Secret of High Yield

The story of Pan Gu's creation made the guests' scalps tingle, and after the numbness passed, they felt that Xiao Xiao's words were reasonable, and even faintly fit their perception of themselves and the world.

For a long time, the people of Yougu Tribe believed that they were the descendants of the earth, and the priests in the tribe had the blood of the earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the sons of the earth.

As the first person in the world and the ancestor of all people, Pangu should be stronger than them, so he is the son of heaven and earth, which is very reasonable.

And this story also solved some of their doubts.

The Salt Tribe said that "snow is the source of all things" and they sneered at it. They would rather believe that the earth is the source of all things.

There are just a few questions that they still can't explain: How did the earth, the source of all things, give birth to the sun and the moon?Where do the clouds and stars in the sky come from?

Now they understand.

It turned out that the combination of the sky and the earth gave birth to the first ancestor, who created the world and gave birth to all things in the world after death.

The guests were in awe of this great ancestor who created the world with life.

Miao suddenly realized: "I understand! We are all descendants of Pangu, each inheriting half of the blood of our ancestors, we are the sons of the earth, and you are the sons of the sky!"

Gu's eyes lit up, and he deduced following Miao's logic: "So our two tribes should be combined, just like the sky and the earth at the beginning, and the offspring we will give birth to will be excellent!"

Before the words were finished, the young hunters couldn't help but cast extremely fiery gazes at the young women present. They were full of vigor, and after being warmed up, they would inevitably feel lustful. Besides, the women of the Dahe tribe were so fragrant that they already wanted to move.

If this is placed in later generations, it will be proper sexual harassment, but in this era, it is said that courtship is not active, there is a problem with the brain, and if men are not more unrestrained, women will look down on them!
Feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became strange, Zhang Tian coughed and forced to bring the topic back: "This statement is wrong. Since we are the descendants of Pangu, we naturally inherited all his blood. What about pottery with the power of the sky and the earth? You also have the blood of the sky, but you have forgotten it."

"That's right!" Xiao nodded vigorously, "That's why the ancestors said, you are lost children!"

"We are lost children?" Miao was taken aback when he heard that, "Is that what our ancestors said?"

The guests all looked at Zhang Tian with slightly nervous expressions. They already believed that this unattractive child was guided by his ancestors and could hear their voices.

Zhang Tian said in a very regrettable tone: "The ancestors have been looking at you from the sky. They wanted to give you guidance and teach you how to grow grains without burning mountains and forests, and you can grow more grains, but you Never look up to the sky."

"Is there really such a method?"

Miao was skeptical about this, not only him, but everyone in the Yougu tribe didn't quite believe it.

In the nearby tribes, they are the only ones who are growing grains, and only they know how to grow grains. If the ancestors knew a better way, why didn't they grow it in this way when they were alive?Isn't growing grain more stable than hunting and gathering?

They thought so in their hearts, but no one said it out, even if they claimed to be descendants of the earth, they were unwilling to question the wisdom of their ancestors in public.

Lin Yu suddenly said: "When you plant grains, do you first cut down the grass and trees on the ground with stone axes, and then burn them with fire after they are dried? Re-sowing, generally a piece of land can only be planted once, and it will be re-planted in the next year, right?"

"how do you know?!"

Miao was taken aback. Although he didn't understand what "fertilizer" meant, the whole planting process was exactly as Lin Yu said. Except that there was no mention of sacrifice, the rest was almost verbatim!
Lin Yu smiled and said, "This is knowledge passed down from our ancestors."

Lanhua interjected: "I forgot to introduce you. This child is called Lin. She is a descendant of Shennong and a descendant of Nuwa. There is nothing she doesn't know about vegetation! She used to live in a place called Taoyuan in the lower reaches of the river. , the people there also grow grains, and they never burn down mountains and deforestation!"

Lanhua said it seriously, as if she had personally visited the place called Taoyuan and seen the grains they planted with her own eyes.

These days, Lin Yu told the women about the beautiful life in Taoyuan, which has already made them yearn for it.

Miao couldn't care less about who Shennong and Nuwa were, so he hurriedly asked, "So you know how to grow grain without burning mountains and destroying forests?"

Lin Yu asked without answering, "Do you know what is essential for growing grains?"

"Of course the earth."

"What about other than that?"

"Well……"

Miao recalled for a while, and immediately understood: "Water is needed, and water contains the power of the sky."

Lin Yu couldn't help laughing, thinking that the chief had already learned how to answer quickly, and it seemed that he had completely accepted Zhang Tian's setting.

"That's right." She said, "So planting grains is the same as firing pottery, and you also need the power of the sky. Only by combining the powers of the sky and the earth can you grow more grains, and the land will not be weakened."

The guests suddenly realized.

Miao couldn't help looking at the row of water urns under the cave wall. He had to admit that Lin Yu's words made sense, and these high-quality pottery were the ironclad evidence.

Lin Yu then asked: "How much land do you use for planting? How much grain can you harvest?"

"This……"

Miao was a little hesitant. There was a clear division of labor in the tribe. Kui had always had the final say on planting, and he never interfered. These questions involved planting details, and he didn't know whether he should answer them without the consent of the priest of the earth.

He felt more and more that he should bring Aoi, because she knew far more than him about planting.

Lin Yu was actually very puzzled. Judging from the reaction of the seedlings, the Yougu tribe did use the most primitive slash-and-burn farming method, but with this extensive method of planting, how did they grow enough grain for three tribes to survive the winter?

She has seen the grown grains. They are definitely not fine varieties that have been selected through countless times of artificial breeding in later generations. They are also a little better than wild grains. They shouldn't have such a high yield.

There must be something missing, but seeing Miao's hesitation, I know that I have to ask the mysterious priest of the earth to find out about it.

She gave Angel Zhang a wink, and Zhang Tian immediately said: "If you want to gain the power of the sky, you must sacrifice to the sky. It just so happens that after this tribal meeting is over, we will go to the snow salt land discovered by the Dashu tribe to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky." You are welcome to watch, I really want to meet your Earth Priest."
