Spring goes and autumn comes, and three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three thousand years is the awakening time that Lin Jiang set for himself. Lin Jiang opened his eyes, woke up from the sarcophagus, and walked all the way to the outside of the cave. What he saw was a vast expanse of white.
"How can there be such thick snow in Yunzhou?"
Lin Jiang looked at the snow outside and was stunned. Could it be that Yunzhou has snowed for three thousand years?
Lin Jiang glanced at the system and was also stunned. The system showed that his life span had been consumed for three thousand years. The system's time operation was synchronized with reality. Fortunately, the balance of the system's life span made Lin Jiang feel relieved.
He signed in for more than three thousand years and got a total of more than one million life spans. Natural consumption was less than seven thousand years. The total of the burning life secret technique was less than 100,000 years, and there was still consumption.
Lin Jiang walked out of the cave and walked towards the former Yunzhong City. After several days, he did not see Yunzhong City, nor did he see any traces of human activities.
"Could it be that all the human race died?"
Lin Jiang couldn't help but worry. He really didn't know what happened in the three thousand years after he fell asleep.
The whole world was silent. He didn't even see some wild animals. However, Lin Jiang dug through the snow and dug into the ground. He still found some sleeping insects. This showed that the ecosystem of this world was still there, which made Lin Jiang relieved.
Lin Jiang searched for a full month, but did not find any traces of human activities. Finally, Lin Jiang decided to find Cao Ying's sleeping place.
Three thousand years have passed, and the world has changed. It is no longer the same as the scene in his memory. Lin Jiang searched for another month before finally finding Cao Ying's sleeping place.
Cao Ying was still lying in a coffin made of black crystal. Lin Jiang did not wake her up. Now the situation outside is unclear. Cao Ying and his people's real lifespan is only 30 years, so they can still survive.
The materials stored in advance in the sleeping place are basically useless. Even the sword that was once a top-grade magic weapon has rusted.
"I have been sleeping for three thousand years, so I came to visit you, Lin Jiang."
Lin Jiang picked up the sword, left a message on the wall, and then left.
Lin Jiang wanted to see what happened in the world, so he headed northwest, because this direction was to Qingzhou. Lin Jiang arranged thousands of people to sleep in the northwest of Qingzhou. Some of those with short life spans were about to wake up, but Lin Jiang set the time for them in advance, not waiting until they had no life span to wake up.
But something that made Lin Jiang dumbfounded soon happened, that is, he got lost. All the way he walked, there was snow all the way. Except for some particularly tall mountains that he could vaguely remember, all other coordinates were gone.
In desperation, Lin Jiang had to return to the place where he was sleeping. It took him half a year to find it back, otherwise Lin Jiang would have to starve, because during this period, he saw very few wild animals, and most of the time he relied on fasting.
Falling into deep sleep again, Lin Jiang set the time to still be three thousand years. Three thousand years is already a very long time span. Of course, Lin Jiang does not want to miss the best time for the awakening of the Heavenly Dao. Just like going to the temple to burn incense, you have to burn the first stick of incense, right?
······
The second three thousand years passed quickly, and Lin Jiang woke up again. But just like last time, Yunzhou was still a world of ice and snow. Of course, it was not frozen all year round, but the ice and snow period was very long, and it was ice and snow for more than half a year. This time, the creatures outside were even rarer. Lin Jiang went to see Cao Ying and continued to sleep.
The third three thousand years ,
the fourth three thousand years,
the fifth three thousand years,
and until the tenth three thousand years, Lin Jiang woke up again. This time, when he walked out of the cave, fortunately, there was green everywhere, and Lin Jiang was in a good mood.
"How did this world spend these 30,000 years? Fortunately, I fell asleep, otherwise, I would have depression 100% of the time."
Lin Jiang sighed. Fortunately, there was a secret technique for sleeping, otherwise he would have to live alone in the world and suffer from depression.
Seeing that the scene outside seemed to be similar to the world of immortal cultivation, Lin Jiang decided to explore this world again.
"Roar"
Not long after walking out of the cave, Lin Jiang heard a tiger roar, and Lin Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank God for letting me be Wu Song as soon as I wake up."
Lin Jiang was overjoyed and immediately went in the direction where the sound came from. After a while, Lin Jiang saw a tiger similar to a saber-toothed tiger.
"Little cat, come quickly."
Lin Jiang waved his hand at the tiger. The tiger saw Lin Jiang and also flew over and bit Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang slightly turned his body to avoid the throat and stretched out his hand for the tiger to bite.
"Click"
a huge bite force burst out, but the result was that the tiger's teeth were broken.
Lin Jiang was once a returning to the void, and he practiced the body cultivation method for hundreds of years. His body had long been trained to an extremely terrifying existence. The tiger did not feel the existence of demonic power. It was just an ordinary tiger. How could an ordinary tiger bite through Lin Jiang's arm?
Of course, Lin Jiang was also in pain.
"Bang"
Lin Jiang punched the tiger's head. Lin Jiang heard the sound of bones breaking, and the tiger's huge body fell down.
The next step was to skin and eat the meat. He also made himself a tiger skin apron. After 30,000 years, Lin Jiang's clothes had turned into powder. He had used leaves to cover
his body. After eating dozens of pounds of tiger meat in one go, Lin Jiang baked the remaining tiger meat into jerky, and then sewed a pocket with the remaining tiger skin and hung it on his body.
After walking south for two days, Lin Jiang saw a fire that had just been extinguished. It was still hot to the touch, and Lin Jiang was even more delighted. As we all know, using fire is something that only intelligent creatures can do.
Around the fire, Lin Jiang also found many footprints. Following the footprints, he finally saw a living person after about 20 to 30 miles.
"Primitive people?"
Lin Jiang was shocked when he saw the group of people in front of him.
There were about 20 to 30 people in the group, all of them were strong men, but they either covered their key parts with leaves or made a short skirt with animal fur like him, which was obviously the dress of primitive people.
These primitive people hunted a lot of prey, and each of them carried a lot of stuff. Lin Jiang listened to what they said for a while and found that their language function had degenerated a lot. He didn't hear any long paragraphs, but only a few words. However, Lin Jiang was sure that those words were Yunzhou dialect, but the pronunciation was very changed. He also listened vaguely.
Lin Jiang followed the primitive people all the way. When it was almost dark, he finally came to their tribe. It was near a cave with a wide opening. The geographical location was very good. There was a mountain wall on one side and steep slopes on both sides. Only one side needed to be defended.
They didn't live completely in the cave. There were also many thatched houses outside the cave. Lin Jiang even saw simple fences, which were enough to resist ordinary wild beasts.
Lin Jiang stood in the distance and observed for a while. These people satisfied all his imaginations of primitive people. Stone knives, stone axes, long hair, naked bodies, men hunting women together, it felt like watching a documentary.
The hunters brought back a rich harvest, and the whole tribe laughed. They began to kill the prey, stripped the fur to make clothes, made bows and arrows from the tendons, and ate the flesh and blood.
"There are about 200 people in the tribe, less than 40 young and strong men, and the rest are old and weak. A person who looks like a tribal leader appeared. He has a knife similar to the one in the era of cultivating immortals. It's too far away, so I can't see it clearly."
Lin Jiang has been observing and summed up more and more information about this tribe. There are not many people and they are very weak. Not only can there be no traces of cultivating immortals, but even no traces of martial arts.
After dinner, the primitive tribe began to dance and sing around the campfire. Lin Jiang couldn't understand what song it was. It was almost like a ghost's cry, with a high and low voice, without complete words, and very primitive.
Lin Jiang guessed that their voices had the effect of driving away wild beasts, because he was annoyed by them.
After another two hours, I don't know if it was late at night or they were tired, the singing and dancing stopped, and then an exciting scene appeared, dozens of men and women started to bite each other.
"Fuck, are primitive people really returning to nature?"
Lin Jiang was stunned. These primitive people were too open-minded. They should at least avoid people. He even turned off the lights.
