Chapter 349 The Meaning of War
Since the green tree was devoured by the Fifth Xuan, the jungle has stopped expanding and the number of ferocious beasts has stopped increasing.
When the Fifth Xuan was asleep, many ferocious beasts escaped from the jungle because of Baxia's wanton hunting, which made the jungle near the Fire Tribe's settlement much safer.
But when the Earth Tribe moved, the Fifth Xuan still cautiously let Baxia escort them out of the settlement, after all, there were too many old and weak people following them.
Along the way, the Snow-Walking Nether Wolf, which had grown up a lot, surrounded Baxia and played around. This was the first time they had seen Baxia since they grew up. Before that, they were mostly raised in the tribe by the wolf witch and rarely let them go out.
But this time, to help the Earth Tribe, the Wolf Shaman readily let all the fighting Snow-Walking Nether Wolves run out, not because he supported the Earth Tribe's cause, but because these little guys were too aggressive.
They had defeated all the wolf cubs of the same stage in the tribe, and even started to charge at adult wolves. The best among them, even adult giant wolves could not beat them.
Faced with such a situation, the Wolf Shaman came to the Third Generation Hundred Grass Shaman and asked for a solution.
Now the Third Generation Hundred Grass Shaman is a well-known wise man among the witches in the tribe. When everyone has doubts, the first person they think of is him.
He lives alone with the big dog and the ancient cat beast very close to the ice surface. He did not establish the Grass Tribe. More often, he would stare blankly at the direction where the sun rises.
After several years, he missed his hometown.
"When there are conflicts within the tribe and they are unable to be resolved, we can try to use conflicts outside to solve the problem, such as putting them in the Tu tribe. I think this will help the Tu tribe to better expand their territory."
The third-generation herb witch gave his own opinion. This was when he followed the fifth Xuan to learn characters. The fifth Xuan gave them questions as reading comprehension.
All witches will participate in such courses, but the best learners are the third-generation herb witch and the second-generation tapir witch.
The former is better at understanding the meaning of language, while the latter is better at memorizing characters. In other words, the former recognizes fewer characters but has a strong ability to understand, while the latter recognizes many characters but cannot understand once the meaning is complex.
As for the strengths and weaknesses of the two top students, Diwu Xuan thought that this was related to their personalities, while the eighth-generation witch he had been following seemed to be neither good nor bad, and his studies were always tepid. After learning
that the sixth-generation leader had died, this guy was silent for a long time, and then he became... a little lazy.
"But this is not a long-term solution to the problem. I remember the Fire Totem said it."
Although the Wolf Witch had fewer classes due to the changes in these wolf cubs and the wolf tribesmen, he still remembered this solution to the problem.
"The long-term solution is to wait for the Wolf Totem to come back. I think these wolf cubs will be very well-behaved in front of him, very well-behaved."
The third-generation Herb Witch said with a smile. He had a dimple on the right corner of his mouth, which made people who talked to him always couldn't help but take a look.
The Wolf Witch nodded, accepted his opinion, and turned away.
When he went back, he suddenly remembered that the three generations of Baicao Wu seemed to have changed a lot. When he first came from the seaside, his personality was very lively, but now he gave people a feeling of... using the words of the Fire Totem, it was like a spring breeze.
Because of this migration, the wolf cubs also joined the team, and Ba Xia's tall and mighty figure made them very curious, so they surrounded Ba Xia, curiously circling and roaring. Some of them
were even brave enough to fall on Ba Xia's legs, and Ba Xia continued to move forward without lowering his head.
On Ba Xia's back, in the Bagua space, the Ox Totem was chattering non-stop, making Diwu Xuan's attention completely unable to focus on the situation outside.
"Look at this large piece of fertile land. If I were given the land to plant, the yellow millet would be enough for the Fire Tribe to eat. Why should we eat dried fish every day?"
The Ox Totem looked at Diwu Xuan with expectation, wishing that he would nod and agree to let the Ox Tribe get the land.
"It's not the right time yet. Wait a little longer."
Diwu Xuan couldn't remember how many times he had said this, but it was obviously not effective.
"There's nothing to wait for. After the green tree was swallowed up, the grass is no longer so lush. It will even affect the planting of yellow millet in the future. It's better to start early than late."
It's rare for the Ox Totem to say that it's better to start early than late. It seems that he has done his best in learning.
Diwu Xuan looked at the green tree rooted in the center of the Bagua space, which is the tree totem.
After this guy changed his name, he fainted and has not woken up until now. No one knows what happened.
Retracting his gaze from the tree totem, Diwu Xuan thought for a while and said, "The Bull Totem cannot become a spiritual tribe for the time being. This is an unchangeable fact, but I agree that some people of the Bull Tribe will migrate with the Tu Tribe and plant yellow millet on the fertile land. This is my biggest concession."
Diwu Xuan said in an unyielding tone, looking at the Bull Totem with sharp eyes, hoping that he would stop nagging him.
"Okay."
The Bull Totem answered straightforwardly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the result.
Diwu Xuan shook his head. This Bull Totem was not as stupid as he looked. He had noticed this a long time ago.
Just like this time, his purpose may not be to leave at all, but to take advantage of the opportunity of the Earth Tribe becoming the Spirit Tribe to show the strength of his tribe, grow more yellow millet, and get more support.
After all, the Ox Tribe, which has no fighting power, is difficult to be recognized when it cannot farm, and the result is the loss of tribal personnel.
Within the Fire Tribe, tribesmen can transfer, even if the older generation is difficult to transfer due to the influence of the totem power, but they can let their children transfer.
The most popular totem is of course the Fire Totem, followed by the Wolf Totem, and then the Stag Totem.
Even the Tapir Totem, which looks a little more useless than the Ox Totem, is more popular than the Ox Totem, because many smart people hope to have the ability to bestow spirits.
Just after he had calmed down the bull totem, the Fifth Xuanbai Nian felt the Bagua space turbulent. Then he saw a wolf claw stirring the thick mist in the Bagua space.
"Let them be quiet."
Diwu Xuan said to Ba Xia with dissatisfaction.
"Hey..."
Ba Xia was scolded by Diwu Xuan, and let out a fierce roar to the surroundings. The sound was very loud, and the wolf cubs on his body were directly shaken to the ground, and the wolf cubs around him began to retreat. After shouting away
the wolf cubs, Diwu Xuan began to observe the entire team. At this time, the team had walked out of the jungle and could see the original site of the Earth Tribe from a distance.
There were still some broken bricks and tiles there. They were the relics left by the Sword Tribe that were knocked down by the Fire Tribe. They were not the buildings of the former Earth Tribe.
The team did not go in that direction, but chose to go south and walk to the center of the cliff and the Yan Tribe. The new Earth Tribe will be stationed there, which will make it easier for him to rule this land.
The team walked from early morning to night, and stopped to rest. The fire tribe's fanatic Tu Wu came to Ba Xia early, kneeling in the knee-deep snow, chanting songs that were not new.
"The fire totem calls you to get up. Today's class will begin."
The second-generation tapir shaman came over and interrupted the Tu Wu's prayer.
In addition to the Tu Wu and the wolf shaman, there were also the third-generation herb shaman, the second-generation tapir shaman, and the sound shaman. The eighth-generation shaman stayed behind in the fire tribe, which was a test for him by the fifth Xuan.
The fifth Xuan gave the Tu Wu a lesson every day. The content of the lecture was very casual, mostly some of his requirements for the Tu Wu's management.
For example, he asked the Tu Wu to be lenient in the early management of small and medium-sized tribes, communicate more, understand the needs of small and medium-sized tribes, and try not to solve problems with force.
Diwu Xuan did not want to follow the old path of the Dragon Tribe and suppress the four directions with force, which would only lead to the end of the tree falling and the monkeys scattering.
For example, he hoped that the earth witch could promote the current Fire Tribe's writing, that is, simplified Chinese, among many tribes.
This is cultural penetration, which is very important to Diwu Xuan.
If these small tribes accept the Fire Tribe's writing, then they should be prepared to accept everything from the Fire Tribe, because once dependence is formed, it cannot be deprived.
He told the earth witch about these big and small problems, no matter how big or small, and called other witches to listen together.
At the same time, there were also a group of totems in the Bagua space who attended the class. Diwu Xuan did not want to keep them in the Bagua space. If conditions permit, he will let these totems go out and convey his ideas.
Before he could clearly find the way to become a god, the Fifth Xuan had to gather more faith and try to rule this wild land, so that he could truly become the master of this land.
He was not like the Dragon Tribe, where faith disappeared when force disappeared.
The most effective way to achieve this effect was culture. Everything could disappear, but culture would last forever.
"The use of force must be based on a clear purpose. If the purpose is only to destroy the enemy, it is the lowest level of force."
The Fifth Xuan started today's class. What he talked about today was the meaning of war.
This is a relatively profound topic. In fact, when he was talking about it, he found that only the third generation of Baicao Wu had a little realization in his eyes, and most of the others were confused.
"Showing force to shock more tribes, or suppressing a tribe through force, these are the goals, killing the enemy, destroying the enemy, these are the means."
Diwu Xuan expanded the topic, pondering the words, letting them appear above the thick fog.
"But destroying the enemy, isn't it the most meaningful thing?"
Moon Totem's eyes were a little dazed, as if Diwu Xuan's idea overturned her thinking.
Diwu Xuan looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that the always smart Moon Totem would be troubled by this problem. Could it be that he made it too complicated? Looking
at the Sun Totem, he saw a look of realization on his face, and then looking at the Ox Totem and the Stag Totem, the two brothers were scratching their heads with their hooves, and it seemed that they didn't understand.
Finally, Diwu Xuan turned his gaze towards the Moon Totem, ready to explain to her the meaning of war.
