Shitou was in pain. His pain began ever since he was chosen by the witch as the successor and began to be trained as the next witch.

In fact, in the past, he was very envious of Wu.

Because the witch does not need to go out hunting or do other kinds of labor, he only needs to write and draw on the stone slabs in the inner cave when he is in a good mood, and lead the people in the tribe to communicate with the gods several times a year, and he will have enough and good food.

Even the chief had to line up behind the witch when receiving food.

But after he was chosen by the witch and began to be trained, he found that things were far from as simple as he had imagined.

His pain was not helping the witch record the major events happening in the tribe on the pottery tablet.

As the person who masters the 'divine characters' best in the tribe besides the Son of God, he is very happy to use the divine characters to record all the things created by the Son of God.

This is a pleasure for him.

His pain came from the characters that the witch mastered, inherited from the previous witch and created by the witch himself, as well as various sacrificial languages ​​and movements that he could not understand.

Shitou was very fond of words, but he had long been accustomed to the square, stroke-by-stroke "words of God". Now, seeing the scribbles of words taught by the witch, he was overwhelmed.

These things are too difficult to recognize. For example, a character, to Shitou, is clearly a person twisting straw ropes, but the witch tells him that it is catching snakes...

Just recognizing these words was already very difficult for Shitou, but the witch required him to not only recognize them, but also to be able to write them.

For a stone, this is the most painful thing.

In fact, he had already seen that Wu was not quite sure what some of the scribbled characters meant, but seeing Wu's serious face, Shi Tou had to suppress his urge to ask about the matter.

The stones had never spoken clear languages ​​during the witch's sacrifices. Even now, when the witch taught him personally, he still couldn't understand. He didn't know what the witch was teaching him meant.

When he asked the witch, the witch refused to tell him and just asked him to remember these things firmly, saying that once he had mastered them, he would be able to communicate with the gods.

Shitou has a strong yearning and affection for the gods. This yearning and affection does not come from the sacrifices held by the witch, but from the Son of God who is not much older than him.

Shitou saw all the magical powers of the Son of God. He longed to be as smart as the Son of God, do a lot for the tribe, and gain respect from everyone.

So, after hearing the witch say that if he mastered these, he would be able to communicate with the gods, Shi Tou became excited and moved.

Even though he couldn't understand what the words taught by the witch meant, and those words were extremely tongue-twisting, he still memorized them and mastered them quickly.

The speed was so fast that even the witch who taught it was a little surprised. After being surprised, he was delighted. He was delighted that he was not wrong and that there was someone to succeed him as the witch of the Qingque tribe.

He was happy, but Shitou was not, because he had firmly memorized the words taught by the witch about communicating with the gods, but he had never seen the gods, nor had he heard the gods speak to him.

He told the witch about his troubles. The witch felt strange, but still told Shitou seriously that it was because he had just started learning and had not yet fully mastered the knowledge.

When Shitou asked Wu whether he had communicated with the gods, Wu confirmed it with an extremely positive tone...

While Shitou was worried that the gods were too cold and refused to pay attention to him, Wu's heart was not at peace.

Because he seemed to have discovered some secrets about the gods.

I was so similar to a stone back then, and the previous witch’s answer to myself was so similar to my answer to the stone!

Wu was sure that in his long career of serving God, he had never successfully communicated with the gods, nor had he ever received any instructions from them, let alone met the gods.

Since I would tell the stone this, would the last witch tell me the same thing? The last witch before that...

Wu didn't dare to think about it anymore. This matter was a very big headache for him.

However, when Wu saw the Son of God, all the doubts and hesitations in his heart disappeared.

If there were no gods, how could there be the Son of God? The various miracles performed by the Son of God could only be created by the gods!

Shitou finally had enough of the writings passed down by generations of witches.

He mustered up his courage and put forward his suggestion to Wu.

That is to record again everything recorded by successive witches in simple and easy-to-understand sacred characters.

After thinking about it, the witch agreed to Shitou's proposal. Apart from being worried that if he didn't keep Shitou busy, Shitou would ask him questions from time to time about "what it takes to successfully master the method and be able to communicate with the gods", the witch also felt that the previous characters were too complicated and difficult to understand, and were not as simple and convenient as the gods' characters.

The stone was actually not wrong in its guess. Some witches were not sure what the things carved on those ancient stone slabs meant.

So he agreed to Stone's proposal.

In the past, even if a witch wanted to rewrite what the previous witch left behind using simple "divine characters", he did not have the ability to do it.

Because it was too late for him to just record the things that the Son of God kept innovating.

But now with Shitou, a guy who knows the divine language and writing better than himself, Wu doesn't have to worry about this problem at all.

Han Chengcai only learned about this matter after Wu and his colleagues had been working on it for some time.

Naturally, he supported this obvious progress.

But what made Shitou uncomfortable was that he still needed to master the complicated and incomprehensible text.

Shitou was beaten, but the reason was not that he always wanted to ask the witch how to communicate with the gods. It was not the witch who beat him, or anyone in the tribe who beat him.

The one who hit him was the deer in the deer pen.

When I had free time after studying with Wu, I would run to the deer pen to watch the fawns feeding. In the end, I couldn't resist the temptation of that big, long, soft, and delicious-looking thing.

After getting familiar with the doe, Shitou found a chance when there was no one around and took a bite of what he had been coveting for a long time.

Before he could recover from the warm touch and the fragrant smell, the little deer, who was furious at having discovered someone had stolen his food, hit him on the butt and fell to the ground with his mouth full of dirt.
