Plane Small Bookstore [System]

Xuan Zhen said lightly: "Actually, I came here to tell you one thing."

Le Jing put down his wine glass and looked at Xuan Zhen intently: "Please tell me."

"This is actually not the real prehistoric. The one sitting next to you is not the real me, but my clone." After Xuanzhen finished saying this, he stuffed a green plum into his mouth, with a wicked taste Waiting for Lejing's next reaction.

Le Jing was startled, a little surprised, but not too surprised.

This time it was Xuanzhen who was curious, "You don't look very surprised. Did you guess it a long time ago?"

"Actually, I've found it strange for a long time." Le Jing carefully recalled all the unreasonable details of this plane, "First of all, it is the sun in the sky."

"Is there anything wrong with the sun?"

"The number of suns is different every day. This is undoubtedly a violation of the laws of nature and has caused great disasters to the creatures in the prehistoric world. However, none of the gods and Buddhas in the sky made a sound, and the Golden Crow Prince was allowed to mess around."

"Oh?" Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "Why can't we just focus on pursuing the Dao and stop interfering in the prehistoric affairs?"

The eyes of the young man were like unsheathed swords for a moment, and he was aggressive: "What is Tao?" Before Xuanzhen could answer, he replied firmly: "Tao is natural, and Tao is the law of heaven. Now there are demons messing with the law of heaven, you If you don’t ask questions and focus on pursuing the Dao, then your Dao will be an evil way!”

Xuanzhen was dumbfounded for a moment, and couldn't help clapping his hands in praise: "Well said!"

"This is one. The second is that there are no saints in this prehistoric desolation, and no gods and Buddhas in the sky." The young man talked eloquently: "I asked the patriarch, and the gods and Buddhas with names and surnames in this prehistoric desolation have not walked around the prehistoric desolation for a long time. gone."

Xuan Zhen asked again: "Maybe they don't want to be polluted by the world's turbidity, and they are all retreating to understand the Dao?"

Le Jing nodded: "At first I thought about it too, but I didn't think that I would not be able to retreat after enlightenment.

Xuanzhen said calmly, "I would like to hear the details."

"What is the turbidity of the world of mortals? The ascetics are already in the world of mortals, so how can they be contaminated? Is it true that cultivating the Tao means living in isolation, retreating to enlightenment, and cutting off the seven emotions and six desires?" Le Jing shook his head and gave a firm answer. "No. If that's the case, then what the ascetics want to cultivate is their own desire. This is a paradox."

"There is an old saying in my hometown: read ten thousand volumes of books and travel ten thousand miles. There is another saying: what is learned on paper will eventually become shallow, and you must practice it when you know it. If you blindly retreat and enlighten the Tao, what you see is only a small world , How do you know the vastness of the sky, the thickness of the earth, the turbulence of the sea, and the heroism of the desert?" The young man's eyes are clear and peaceful, like a clear sky, and like the sea and the sky are connected, "Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the state of mind. Only when you enter the world can you be born."

Xuan Zhen looked at this eloquent and eloquent young man complicatedly, he was just a mortal without the slightest magic power, but he could see more clearly and thoroughly than some immortal cultivators who had been pursuing the Tao all their lives.

Natural Taoism.

If this child was born in the prehistoric age, his future would be limitless!

"There is the last reason, which is also the most important reason." Le Jing showed a sly smile, "Whether it's a human or a monster. The strength of the creatures here is too weak."

According to what the patriarch Hu said, the senior Da Neng has long since retired and does not care about world affairs.But Xiong, who is the strongest fighter in the clan, has almost the same fighting power as Cairns.In the past few days, Le Jing visited the Su tribe and found that although all the tribal residents are soldiers, most of them are only proficient in fairy magic and witchcraft, and they don't have the legendary power to overwhelm the sea.

However, such a human tribe can fight against the monster tribe. According to the seniors of the Su tribe who have traveled abroad, the strength of the top ten demon saints of the demon tribe is about the same as that of the top elites of the human tribe. The little demons under the seat, even ordinary people who are proficient in spells, can resist and even kill them with weapons.

All of this is not only very different from the prehistoric times recorded on Earth, but also very different from the legends spread on this plane.

Fox's explanation for this is that the seniors are all pursuing the Dao and not caring about world affairs, which is why the Yaozu are so rampant.But Le Jing didn't accept this kind of rhetoric. In his opinion, it was as if all the gods and Buddhas in the sky had collectively abandoned all the creatures on this plane.

Moreover, Le Jing still has one of the biggest reasons that he did not say.

This plane belongs to the A16 plane in Le Ling's division, and there is an S-level plane above it. He doesn't believe that China's ultimate mythology system, the Primordial World, is only ranked 16th in the A-level.

Now that Xuan Zhen said so, then all of this suddenly became clear.This is the prehistoric, not prehistoric.

Xuanzhen looked at Lejing appreciatively: "Then I have to say, your thinking is correct. This is just a small plane derived from the prehistoric times. At the beginning, there was a lot of spiritual energy here, and gods and Buddhas passed on here one after another. Down the orthodoxy, but with the passing of the aura here, fewer and fewer human beings can realize the Dao and ascend smoothly. The gods and Buddhas gradually forgot about this plane. I am the last human being ascended in this plane."

"So you're back here because...?"

"Because of you." A trace of sarcasm flashed in Xuanzhen's eyes, "Because your variable disrupted the astrology, we discovered Dijun's trick."

Dijun's trick?

In the blink of an eye, the suns coming and going in the sky suddenly appeared in Le Jing's mind, and he asked tentatively, "Is it Prince Jinwu...?"

Xuanzhen glanced at him in surprise, he could have guessed this point just by his words, what a clever mind and careful thought it must be, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: Huiji will be hurt.

However, he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and nodded slightly to admit the young man's judgment, "Back then, people and monsters fought against each other for ten days, and Houyi shot down nine days. Quite caused a wave of turmoil in the prehistoric. In the end, the human race won a tragic victory, and Di Jun lived in seclusion. We thought he was letting go of his hatred and concentrating on enlightening the Dao. We didn't expect him to make such a plan behind his back and tried his best to hide it. Heavenly secrets have kept all gods and Buddhas in the dark."

"This plane is not aura at all, but Di Jun injected the aura of the entire plane into the sun essence fire, and then fused the remnant souls of the nine sons he tried to keep. He is trying to resurrect the dead nine sons!" When Xuan Zhen said this, a gleam of anger appeared in his eyes: "And the continuous human-monster wars in this plane were provoked by Di Jun for his own plan and to deceive others."

Xuanzhen took a breath, and continued: "In this world, death and life are the laws of nature, and they have their own decrees. The resurrection of the dead is against the sky, and naturally there is a price. Because the objects of this resurrection are the nine sons of the demon emperor, one The Golden Crow Prince who was born as a Golden Immortal, so the price will definitely not be less. So the price that Di Jun paid was the lives of all the creatures on this plane."

Le Jing gasped, but he didn't expect Di Jun to be so crazy.

"Didn't even the saint notice it?" Le Jing couldn't help asking.Dijun can hide the gods and Buddhas in the sky when he casts spells, but he can't hide the saints alone.

"Saint?" Xuanzhen laughed and said, "Let's say it's me, even my master, the Holy Mother of Jinling, a direct disciple of the Lord Tongtian, hasn't seen a saint for tens of thousands of years. We guess that the saint may have already seen a saint." Not in the prehistoric world, I went to other worlds to travel and comprehend the Dao casually."

Le Jing suddenly realized that it made sense.Why did Di Jun provoke a dispute between the monsters of this plane?Because if he sacrificed the entire plane of life in one go, he would not only bear the great karma of destroying the world, but also attract the attention of gods and Buddhas in the sky, which might bankrupt his plan.But it's different if it's just to provoke a war.War is an ordinary thing in this prehistoric world, and it will not be stopped by heaven, and he does not have to bear any heavy karma.Di Jun's purpose is to use the war to consume more life in this plane, paving the way for him to resurrect his nine sons.

This is undoubtedly a method that is crazy enough and enough to deceive the world.There are so many planes below this prehistoric world, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will not take this plane seriously.The only thing he didn't count on was Le Jing's arrival.

"You have a special destiny and a special origin. Almost at the same time you came to this plane, the gods and Buddhas in the sky sensed it, and then followed the clues to detect Di Jun's plan, so we all cast spells to hide the secret from Di Jun. Your existence." Xuan Zhen explained to Le Jing.

Le Jing asked curiously: "Then what is my destiny?"

Regarding this, Xuanzhen showed a wicked smile, shook his head and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."

Le Jing was speechless, so he could only ask another question: "So what are your plans?" He looked at Xuanzhen full of inquiry: "Why did you tell me this?"

"Of course...it's our plan." Xuanzhen sighed, and said, "Dijun has practiced Taoism for millions of years, and it's not easy to practice. As a fellow Taoist, we really can't bear to see him make mistakes again and again, and go to the evil way."

Le Jing understood: "You want to give him a hand."

"That's right." Xuanzhen nodded heavily, looked at Le Jing sincerely and said, "Since you are here, it is God's will. This is Dijun's calamity, and it is also his opportunity. If he can successfully survive this calamity, then His cultivation base will definitely be able to rise one step further. If he can't survive, sooner or later he will end up dying. Your goal can be said to run counter to Di Jun's plan. If you can succeed, then Di Jun may not really be able to wake up. , back on track."

In this way, it was the real reason why Xuanzhen quietly sent his avatar here to tell Lejing everything.

"To be honest." Le Jing rubbed his nose, a little depressed, "I feel like I've been calculated."

Xuan Zhen asked with a smile: "Then will you change your mind because of this?"

Le Jing looked at him seriously, but finally couldn't hold back anymore, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, his eyes were open and free: "That's not true. I'm a stubborn person. So I never change my mind easily. And unified Here, the matter of ending the war and establishing a country came from my heart, and it was not calculated by you. The only thing you did was probably to push the boat along with the flow. This is an upright conspiracy, and I will not be angry."

Xuan Zhen laughed heartily, "I like you a little bit." He looked at Le Jing seriously, and asked, "Would you like to come to practice Taoism?"

Le Jing waved his hands without thinking, rejecting his proposal: "I'm just a layman." He laughed at himself: "I'm too greedy for this red dust, and I'm destined to never learn to be born in this life."

Xuan Zhen was noncommittal, and only said: "You are not alone and helpless, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are watching you."

■

Now that the truth has been learned from Xuan Zhen, Le Jing's plan must be revised.

Originally, he wanted to secretly form an alliance with the Jiuli tribe and the Xiyi tribe separately, so as to provoke the relationship between the two tribes, and then have the Su tribe sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for work at leisure. No matter which side wins, they can effectively consume the parts of these two tribes strength.

Now, he can only take the path of peaceful development and peaceful evolution.

This matter cannot be completed overnight, and it still needs to be figured out gradually.And a little carelessness may even weaken the human race, creating opportunities for the monster race for no reason.

After thinking for a while, he asked Hu Ming to come to the high-level officials in the tribe, and prepared to have a small meeting.At present, only a few high-level people in the tribe know of Le Jing's existence, and he has no intention of letting more people know of his existence for the time being.Because my enemy is in the dark, this will be more conducive to his future plans.

Attending the meeting were Fox, Wu, Xiong who was the leader of the hunting team, and six tribal elders, most of whom were former witches and patriarchs.

There are no etiquette rules for later generations. Ten of them sit cross-legged in a circle on the ground, and there is no distinction between high and low.

First, Hu asked Le Jing, "I don't know why the owner called us here?"

The young man thought for a few seconds, then slowly said: "Does anyone know how many people there are in the tribe, how many men, how many women, how many old people, how many children?"

This question is just too weird.Everyone looked at each other for a long time, but Fox said hesitantly: "I checked with my mental strength, and there are about four or 10,000+ people. Men and women make up about half, old people and children..." Fox's forehead was already sweating, "I'm not Never noticed."

At most, each tribe can count in detail the number of men and women in the tribe who can participate in the war. After all, they are the main criterion for measuring the strength of a tribe.As for children and the elderly?To be honest, they are people on the fringes of the tribe.Because of the high mortality rate of children in this era, children who did not grow up did not attract the attention of the tribe.In some tribes, the elderly are even regarded as a waste of food, so in some barbaric tribes, there is even the custom of killing or even eating the elderly to save resources.Although some Sioux tribes are not so barbaric because of their relatively rich resources, it is impossible to expect them to give special care to the elderly like the earth in later generations.

When the young man put away the smile on his face, the coldness and sharpness in his bones were revealed: "Probably? Almost? Haven't you noticed?" He paused, and said with great certainty: "That is to say, none of you know Exact figures."

This is what Le Jing expected.The level of civilization development on this plane is very uneven.Let’s say they are behind, but they already have simple characters, and elites like foxes in the tribe can even roughly estimate the number of hundreds of thousands of people with their spiritual power.If you want to say that they are well-developed, that's not always the case.In the eyes of a modern person like Le Jing, they are primitive societies under the system of cultivating immortals, not even an agricultural society.

Everyone is silent.There was an elder, a former witch, and a woman named Su Qing asked: "Why do we need to know this? How does this benefit the tribe?"

The young man laughed softly, "Of course it will be beneficial." He looked at Su Qing and asked with a warm smile, "Dare to ask the elders, if they want to conscript soldiers and fight, how many middle-aged men and women can be drawn from the tribe at most? The rest How many old people and children can take care of the logistics?"

"This……"

"Dare to ask, if food is stored during a catastrophe, how many servings of food should the tribe prepare? If a plague occurs, how many servings of medicinal materials should the tribe prepare?"

"This……"

"If you want to farm, how many acres of land should be distributed to people in total? Among them, the land share of the elderly must not be equal to that of men and women in the prime of life, right?"

Every question the young man asked was whispered softly, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face all the time, but every question he asked was extremely sharp, making it difficult to resist, and Su Qing's forehead was even faintly sweating, and she supported it. After hesitating for a long time, she finally had something to say after hearing the young man's last question, "Planting land? What kind of land?" She looked at Le Jing wonderingly, "Planting medicinal materials? There are such things everywhere, and there is no need to plant them specially." .”

Le Jing just wanted to sigh.This is the backwardness and limitation of the primitive hunting economy and gathering economy.In this era, whether human beings can survive and their standard of living depends on how much food he collects or how many animals he kills.This is also the reason for the formation of matriarchal society in ancient times.Because compared with unstable and dangerous hunting activities, the gathering industry engaged by women is undoubtedly safer and more stable, and can support a larger population.This knowledge was passed on orally among women, thus establishing the status of women as unambiguous in the tribe.But even so, the death rate of primitive humans remained high.

In "General History of the World: The World Before 1500", the author made such a calculation: In the ancient times of mankind, "Even in those areas with warm winter climate and abundant products, each square mile could only support one or two people. If the climate is cold, in tropical jungles or deserts, then each food gatherer needs to have 20 to 30 square miles of land. ① "So cannibalism was normal in ancient times things.

The emergence of agricultural civilization marks the transformation of human beings from collectors relying on the gifts of nature to self-reliant food producers, which is a great event in the history of human civilization.

On the earth, human beings have tried animal husbandry and planting since about 2 to [-] years ago.However, prehistoric humans have reproduced for tens of thousands of years, but have always relied on hunting and gathering. Is it because they are more stupid than humans on earth?

of course not.

Because agricultural civilization can only develop in a relatively peaceful and stable external environment.And what kind of world is the prehistoric world?Humans and monsters melee, alien beasts are rampant, human beings are in danger, and the crops they plant cannot be carried with them, and they are always facing the risk of being plundered and destroyed.And because of the existence of witchcraft, fairy art and witchcraft, personal force is infinitely exaggerated, and everyone is martial, which hinders the development of agricultural civilization here.

But in the long run, agricultural civilization is undoubtedly good for the people here.Its biggest benefit is to increase the average life expectancy and increase the population.In the capitalist society of the later generations, capitalists put forward a concept called human resources, and regard human beings as a resource that can be used. What a cruel idea.But I have to admit that human beings are indeed a very useful, recyclable, green and pollution-free resource.

And this is the biggest reason why Le Jing plotted against the Yaozu before and caused civil strife in the Yaozu.He wants to create a relatively peaceful opportunity for the Yousu tribe to develop agricultural civilization.

So in response to Su Qing's questioning, Le Jing told her the story of an agronomist named Yuan Longping.

The hybrid rice he invented has solved the problem of food for China's 14 billion people, enabling China to feed 7.7% of the world's population with 20% of the world's arable land, creating a miracle that has attracted worldwide attention.In ancient times, he would have been enshrined as a scholar of the country, left a name in history, and enshrined in the people's shrine!

Finally, in order to make these primitive people feel more realistic about the number 14 billion, Le Jing added: "If your tribe has 40 people, then 14 billion people is equivalent to 3500 Sioux tribes."

So Fox and the others, who were originally listening to the heavenly scriptures, were suddenly dizzy by the huge number, and Su Qing stuttered a little: "Really, there are so many people?"

Le Jing definitely nodded: "However, the hybrid rice in our place has been improved for generations to have such a high yield, and most of them are used for industrial purposes and are not edible. The rice, wheat and other crops here are still relatively primitive. There may not be too much production in the early stage, but I think there is no problem with at least doubling the population of the Sioux tribe.”

In the past few days, Lejing has found traces of wheat and rice in Yousu tribe, but they are all regarded as weeds and have not been planted.After careful observation, Le Jing found that the ears of wheat and rice here are full, and there is a faint fragrance after chewing, which is no worse than that of the earth.He guessed that it might have something to do with the aura-filled Feng Shui here.

The development of modern agriculture mainly relies on pesticides and chemical fertilizers.He is a liberal arts student, of course he is not worthy of these.However, this place is prehistoric.Fertilize with the feces and urine of exotic animals that eat insects, and keep all insects away.Then plant some natural materials and earth treasures in the ground, and they will automatically improve the land into a fertile spiritual field suitable for planting.

The fox suffocated for breath, his heart was pounding, and he felt dizzy for a while.Doubled...that means they have the Sioux Tribe population and may even reach a million!

The first million-person tribe in the wild!This future is so attractive to Fox!

The other people present couldn't help whispering and buzzing.

In order to convince these people, Le Jing simply went to the countryside and made an oath: "I swear by the law of heaven, what I just said is the truth, but if there is a false statement, I will be killed with a thunderbolt."

This is a very vicious oath, and generally no one dares to say that, because the way of heaven has spirits, and if the oath made to the way of heaven is violated, the way of heaven will really punish the swearer.So when Le Jing said this, Hu and the others immediately believed it.

None of them are short-sighted, so they naturally understand the benefits of doing so.Although ascetics reach a certain level, they will not be invaded by cold and heat, and will not eat grains, but not everyone can cultivate to that level.Most of the people in the tribe are ordinary people who are proficient in fairy arts, sorcery and sorcery. They still need to eat and drink normally.

but……

Fox struggled and said: "Every ten years in autumn and winter, there will be a beast horde, and the monsters will attack the human tribes, robbing our food, cattle and horses. There will be a new beast horde in four years, if To start planting, I'm afraid..."

Le Jing smiled slightly at this, and said firmly: "Four years are enough."

And four years later, whether the Yaozu will have the strength to organize a new wave of beasts is still a matter of debate.

"Three days later, there will be a thorough census in the tribe, is there any objection?" Le Jing asked.

This time, no one objected.
