The rainy season in Daze has always been a depressing, dull, and moldy season. 【△网.】
Before Chu Tian came to the village, during the rainy season every year, the villagers in the village were just like pigs, sheep, cows and horses. They spent the whole day eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, making babies, and sitting in front of the huts in a daze. The days passed one by one.
But this rainy season is like a dream. The whole village has become different, and everyone has become different.
The meeting hut in the center of the village was completed, which was large enough to accommodate seven or eight hundred strong men for banquets and meetings. On one side of the meeting hut, a new hut was built, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
This hut is more "luxurious" than the hut where the village elders hold meetings. The floor is compacted with slag from the extraction of copper, which is watertight and dry. On top of the slag, there is a thick layer of smooth flooring, which is polished so smooth that it can almost be used as a mirror.
Oil lamps made from the fat of wild animals were lit during the day to illuminate the house.
Hundreds of children of appropriate age sat upright on the ground, looking seriously at Chu Tian who was standing in front of the house. Holding charcoal pencils in their hands, they followed Chu Tian to learn the characters and carve talismans on the bluestone slabs, stroke by stroke.
Behind these children, several village elders such as Old Jiu, as well as some strong men who had some free time, were also sitting there with serious faces, listening attentively to Chu Tian's lecture.
They also held charcoal pencils and wrote carefully on the slate.
Even though their brains were not as flexible as those of children and learning was very difficult, these village elders and strong men still gritted their teeth and studied seriously with a trace of sacred piety.
Back to three months ago, after Chu Tian had fixed the first furnace made of red copper fused with other metals, he suddenly suggested that he teach writing and talismans to the children in the village.
Chu Tian wanted to be lazy. This kind of extremely low-level entry-level furnace can be forged by anyone who knows how to carve talismans. It does not require any advanced skills or cultivation.
If he could train a group of qualified apprentices in the village, he wouldn't have to calcine molten copper himself in batches!
Out of pure laziness, Chu Tian proposed to open a school to impart knowledge to the children in the village.
When Old Jiu and the others learned what Chu Tian wanted to teach them, several village elders knelt down in front of Chu Tian with tears in their eyes, and prostrated themselves on the ground as if they were worshipping their ancestral gods.
Legend has it that the people in the great swamp had ancestors who were proficient in all kinds of skills, whether it was forging, brewing, weaving, or animal husbandry, there was nothing they didn't know.
However, at some point, their descendants fell into the swamp and lingered on, forgetting a lot of precious knowledge and cutting off many inheritances. Even a bowl of bland water wine became a "luxury" that the villagers longed for!
As far as Old Jiu and the others know, there are only three or four villages within a radius of three or four thousand miles that still retain their ancestral craftsmanship.
A village worships the god of wine and they make wine.
A village worships the god of craftsmanship, and they can make iron.
A village worships the god of medicine, who can cure diseases.
A village worships the God of War. One warrior in their village can defeat three or four ordinary warriors. It is the most powerful village within a radius of three to four thousand miles. If it weren't for the fact that the descendants of the God of War are so greedy, the prey they get on weekdays simply can't feed too many tribesmen. In fact, they could have unified the villages within a radius of three to four thousand miles long ago.
No matter what, knowledge, in this vast world, means wealth, power, and a more stable and secure life.
For three months, Chu Tian has been busy with forging, teaching classes, and helping the village with advice.
After three months, the eyes of hundreds of children in the village, which were usually as ignorant as stone, were now full of lively light. This light has another name - 'wisdom'!
What Chu Tian taught them was the common characters used in the Fallen Star Ocean.
However, the knowledge he explained was not from the classics of the spiritual practitioners in the Fallen Star Ocean - in this swamp, there was a strange force that suppressed the magic power and soul fluctuations, making it impossible to cultivate spiritual power and heavenly power. Those spiritual and heavenly cultivation books were useless.
He taught a lot of things, including mineralogy, zoology, botany, the principles of inductive analysis, and some of the most basic principles of chemistry and mechanics. He focused on metallurgy, how to identify the properties of materials, and how to smelt materials with better performance.
He even taught some architectural theories, such as how to build taller and stronger houses, how to build more defensive city walls, and how to use talismans to reinforce city walls and houses.
Yes, talismanology.
Chu Tian discovered that in this swamp, all the powers of both spiritual and heavenly cultivation would be sealed.
It was just that on the golden lamp condensed by the "Great Dream Divine Canon", the various runes that emerged around the various celestial seals, as well as the most basic talismans that Chu Tian had learned before, which represented the most basic laws between heaven and earth, could be used freely.
So Chu Tian took the most basic and simplest runes around the Golden Lamp Fire Seal and the introductory talismans he knew, selected the ones that the children could understand, remember and master, and gave them to them one by one.
At the edge of the village, the earthen wall that was originally more than ten feet high has been transformed into a city wall three feet high and about ten feet wide after three months of hard work.
For the villagers, who generally had a strength of more than 50 dragon power, they just worked for a while, dug a little soil, and built such a wall. It only took thousands of villagers half a month, and it really didn't take much energy.
Although the city wall was made of mud, there were runes carved on it by Chu Tian's apprentices using fire copper ore powder. After the runes carved with the powder were calcined and melted into one with a high fire, these runes emitted high temperatures on their own, calcining the runes made of mud into a material as hard as rock.
Afterwards, Chu Tian asked his apprentices to carry out secondary processing on the city wall.
The apprentices used axes and chisels forged from fire copper to carve various defensive talismans on the city wall stroke by stroke. Chu Tian personally triggered the power of these talismans, which made the city wall as hard as steel.
In this vast lake with extremely backward productivity, such a wall is truly indestructible!
Chu Tian also knew that such a wall might not be of any use in Daze, but he was idle anyway, so why not have some fun building a wall and a town? Mobile users please visit m.Read for a better reading experience.
