Chapter 366: Message from Great Dao Beings
Shi Yan and others were revered as heroes in the Gongxi clan, great heroes who broke into the ninth level. In the entire history of the Gongxi clan, there was only Gongxi Poshan, the ancestor of Gongxi Zhen. //?www.//
Moreover, Gongxi was already dying after returning from the mountain, while Shi Yan and others were full of energy and even brought back "little gods", which were worshipped by the Gongxi clan. However, compared with the little goblins, they were quite different. The little goblins were called "little gods" in the Gongxi clan, and it was like casting statues for them to worship, which made Yunluo very proud.
In the past few days, Shi Yan settled down in the village. This is a valley, which is semi-enclosed. Most of the sky is blocked by rocks, with only a few holes exposed to receive sunlight. Their lives are very hard, far less than the lives of the cultivators in the Xuanlong Realm, and even worse than the lowest-level cultivators. But it is also true that under the oppression of the great creatures, it is already very good to have a place to survive.
Children were playing on the muddy road. Because it had just rained, the path was full of water. The children were running and making noises, and soon they were covered in mud, but they were unaware of it and continued to play. On the side of the road, in front of a thatched house, an aunt was washing vegetables. Some dry and even yellowish vegetable leaves were constantly washed in water, and then carefully collected into a clay pot. The basin of water used to wash the vegetable leaves was not poured out, but was put away more carefully. Beside a pile of weeds, a listless old man was knocking on the broken pot in front of him, squinting his eyes and chanting in oblivion, seeming to enjoy it very much. A gust of wind blew up the weeds around the old man, and Shi Yan discovered that the old man actually had only one arm. The most common tools in the village are stone tools, and iron tools are rarely seen. Even if there are any, they are rusty and dilapidated.
"The people here don't live a very happy life." Long Er sighed as he walked forward while holding Xiao Ji in his arms.
"Yes, this kind of scene is completely unimaginable in the Xuanlong Realm." Shi Yan sighed slightly, "I have experienced hard times, but I have never experienced such hard times."
"It's a miracle that these people can survive." Long Er nodded.
"Maybe we can help." Shi Yan suddenly said.
Long Er looked at Shi Yan and asked, "How can I help?"
"Don't think about the big picture, just think about what's most urgent for them right now." Shi Yan said.
Long Er frowned slightly, "The most urgent thing... is food?"
Shi Yan shook his head and said, "It's the tools. With the tools, food will come naturally. I saw an old cow plowing the field just now, but it was using stones. Although they are strong, their efficiency is too slow. Moreover, the land has long lost its spiritual energy due to lack of energy. Not only is the yield low, but even if something is grown, it is just without nutrition. Therefore, if we want to help, we should start with their tools."
There are a lot of mineral materials in the Daewoo Dragon Boat, all of which were mined in the shrine. In addition to the Daewoo Dragon Boat, there are also many magical tools for daily use in the hidden space.
Shi Yan returned to Dayu Dragon Boat and found Mo Zixie. He told him his idea, and Mo Zixie clapped his hands in agreement. However, he mentioned some tools. Although the little goblins were good at forging, they could not make these things. They could only forge things related to mechanical puppets.
"I...I can!" A timid voice came. Shi Yan turned his head and saw a Mohist disciple walking towards him with his hand raised.
"Lin Shanhan?" Mo Zixie slapped his head and laughed, "Haha, there's an expert here, let's leave these things to him."
"expert?"
"Let me introduce myself." Lin Shanhan said, "I am a disciple of the Lin family, a sword-making family in Mingjing Domain, and I am studying in the Mo family. Although the Lin family is a sword-making family, I can also forge some of the daily tools you mentioned just now. After all, sword-forging is much better than making these things."
Shi Yan had never expected that there would be such a talent in the team. With someone who could forge, he started to think, "Since you can forge swords, can you forge some magic weapons for daily life? For example, a rain pot, a soul-shaking hammer, etc...."
Lin Shanhan touched his head awkwardly, "As for casting, I can do it, but I'm not very good at interpreting runes. As you know, these magic weapons are different from flying swords, so they are useless without talismans. It was because I lacked knowledge in this area that I went to the Mohist School to study, but not long after, I encountered the current situation."
"There's no problem with the talisman, just leave it to me and you just need to concentrate on forging it." Shi Yan said.
"Okay, I'll do my best." Lin Shanhan nodded and went downstairs to prepare.
Lin Shanhan is indeed an outstanding disciple of the sword-making family. His Qi techniques are skillful and his movements are smooth. In his hands, the minerals are turned into tools one after another after a few turns. In just three days, a large number of tools were forged, including some flying swords.
On this day, Shi Yan asked someone to bring some things to the village chief's house and told him about the matter, hoping that the village chief would distribute the things to each household. The village chief was very moved and kept thanking him. "With these things, the quality of life in the village will definitely be greatly improved. Thank you, thank you!"
"It's nothing, just a small favor. I'm glad it's helpful to you." Shi Yan said with a smile.
The village chief lowered his head and wiped his tears, choking a little as he said, "To you, it may be just a small matter, but to us, it is a great thing."
"To be honest, in the Three Realms, we live worse than pigs and dogs. Three thousand years ago, our Gongxi clan was also a famous and prominent family. However, we have been persecuted by the great beings for three thousand years and have become like this. Three thousand years of displacement have made us lose many precious things. Up to now, except for some fighting methods, the rest have almost all disappeared in history. Even if we wanted to get some tools earlier, there is no way. Now, the little things you have done are good things for our people, which are worth celebrating by the whole clan!"
Shi Yan felt deeply sympathetic. He seemed to be able to see that for the past three thousand years, they had been constantly driven by the Great Dao beings, living like pigs and dogs. If they could escape the pursuit of the Great Dao beings, it would be fine. If they could not escape, they would either die or become slaves. The result was predictable.
Soon, the tools and magic weapons were distributed. Shi Yan taught them how to use the magic tools. The people of Gongxi were very smart and soon mastered the use of the magic weapons. Seeing the rain pot spraying clear water in the air, the villagers smiled happily.
After teaching the villagers how to use the magic weapons, Shi Yan returned to the village chief's residence, and the village chief also stood up and entertained him warmly.
Shi Yan quickly declined and stated his purpose, "Village Chief, I want to learn something about the living beings of the Great Dao from you. I wonder if it is convenient for you."
"It's convenient, of course it is." The village chief said with a cheerful smile. He saw the smiling faces of the villagers and he was happier than anyone else. "Just ask."
Shi Yan thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me some information about the Dao creatures now? For example, what they look like, how they fight, where they are most active, etc.?"
The village chief was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "Don't you know?"
Shi Yan explained, "Actually, I am from the Xuanlong Realm... which is also where the gods live as you call it. I arrived at the Divine Palace due to some accidents, and I walked out of the Divine Palace after going through a lot of hardships, so I don't know much about the creatures of the Great Dao."
"The place where gods live! You are..." The village chief was extremely surprised. He stared at Shi Yan blankly. His eyes were as hot as burning flames. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Shi Yan had already expected the village chief's reaction after he told the truth, so he was not surprised. He coughed and said, "I want to find a way to go back, but this world has long been occupied by the Great Dao creatures, so I want to know some information to avoid unnecessary casualties."
The village chief finally recovered from his shock, suppressed his excitement, and said with a trembling body, "So that's how it is. It seems that after you entered the place where the gods live, you have blocked the matter of the great beings."
Shi Yan nodded, "That's right, if it wasn't for coincidence, I wouldn't even know there are such things as great beings."
The village chief was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "In fact, Dao creatures are the same as us humans, or there is no difference. If you insist, they are much stronger than us humans, with strong physiques, strong consciousness, and strong strength. Also, their bodies cannot contain spiritual power, but otherwise they are no different from humans. Dao creatures fight using a strange energy we call the power of the Dao. As for how to fight, haha, you may know this better than me, because you yourself possess the power of the Dao."
Shi Yan nodded, "That's right."
"Actually, I'm quite curious. As a human being, how did you obtain the power of the Great Dao?"
Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "It's just a coincidence, who can tell? However, as long as we go deep into the tenth floor of the temple, we will know how it came from." Shi Yan said vaguely.
The village chief nodded and said, "The three realms are now completely occupied by the beings of the Great Dao. The beings of the Great Dao are divided into three major forces, forming three countries, each ruled by three emperors. These three emperors are called Heaven, and their titles are Huang Tian, Cang Tian, and Qing Tian respectively! The Three Kingdoms are constantly at war, and it is because of the wars of the Three Kingdoms that we are able to survive. The territory to which we, the Gongxi clan, belong is the country of Huang Tian. There are also some other tribes hidden in various places in the Three Realms, and the number of people is also very considerable."
Now it was Shi Yan's turn to be surprised, "There are other tribes!"
"That's right. In addition to our Gongxi clan, there are also the Helian clan, Guanqiu clan, Taishu clan, Duan Gan clan, Baili clan, etc." The village chief said: "Three thousand years ago, there were nearly ten thousand tribes surviving, but now, only a few hundred tribes have survived. Alas..."
At this moment, a burst of impatient footsteps was heard, followed by someone shouting anxiously: "Village chief, village chief, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
A dark and strong young man came in and said to the village chief as soon as he came in: "It's bad, Brother Meng and his friends went out hunting and ran into a creature from the Great Dao and were seriously injured."
"What!" The village chief's face turned pale, he stood up suddenly, and asked anxiously: "Where is the person?"
The black guy said, "In the village, they have already returned. Fortunately, they were smart and escaped back."
"Take me to see it quickly!" The village chief walked out anxiously.
"Please stay!" Shi Yan stood up and stopped the village chief. He turned to the black guy and asked, "Are you saying that you met a great being and then escaped back?"
Although they didn't know who he was, he must be a very prestigious guest in the village chief's house, so the black guy repeated, "Yes, they encountered the Great Dao creatures, but fortunately they escaped back."
Shi Yan frowned slightly, looked at the village chief, and asked, "If you encounter a great being, do you have the ability to escape from their eyes?"
The village chief's face suddenly changed. "Hurry, inform the villagers to leave, leave quickly!"
