The Teng tribe has been in business for thirty years.
After years of evolution, the continental plates that had been in violent motion finally stabilized and the bad weather gradually returned to normal.
The extreme weather that caused frequent disasters gradually disappeared, and the distinct four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter returned to the earth.
On the northern and southern continents, those tribes that survived the difficult times finally made it through and resumed population growth with a relatively sufficient food supply.
During these years, the Teng tribe relied on its strong strength and powerful productivity to influence almost all the tribes in the north and south continents.
Those exquisite goods, advanced tools and weapons flowed into various tribes through various channels and became a part of the tribal people's lives.
The goods produced by the Teng tribe are high-quality products, which has gradually become a consensus among the tribesmen.
At the same time, the Teng tribe officially replaced all types of knife coins with gold coins, silver coins and copper coins.
The currency of the Teng tribe gradually became a hard currency recognized by everyone in the north and south continents.
…
The 32nd year of Teng tribe, June 12th.
The northern part of the southern continent, the ancestral land of the Teng tribe.
Inside the bamboo house, as the witch's carving knife made the last cut, the Great Wilderness Herbs Map, which was carved from top-quality stone, was finally completed! "Twenty-eight years! Twenty-eight years, I finally succeeded, finally... succeeded..."
The old witch put down the carving knife and stroked the patterns on the Great Wilderness Herbs Map. Thinking of the efforts he had put in over the years, he couldn't help but cry for joy.
"Congratulations, old witch, you finally fulfilled your wish."
Jiang Xuan congratulated the old witch with a smile on his face. As the first person to witness the old witch carving the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map, Jiang Xuan came specially to witness him accomplish this feat.
In addition to Jiang Xuan, red peony root, Uncaria rhynchophylla, stone loach and Arisaema confusa are all here.
They all congratulated the old witch and clamored for a celebration banquet to announce the good news to everyone.
The old witch stroked the Great Wilderness Herbs Map and listened to their congratulations. A gratified smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Yes, I finally fulfilled my wish, completed it..."
He chanted and stroked, and his whole body gradually lay on the Great Wilderness Herbs Map, with his face pressed against the huge stone.
Inside the bamboo house, everyone was still discussing where to hold the celebration banquet, how large the scale should be, and how many people to invite.
However, as they discussed, they did not notice that the old witch had been lying on the Great Wilderness Herbs Map, without getting up or speaking.
"Old witch, the ground is cold. Sitting for a long time is not good for your health. Get up quickly."
Chishao bent down and tried to help the old witch up.
However, when her hand touched the old witch, she suddenly trembled all over and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xuan was the first to notice that Chishao was in an abnormal condition, so he walked over to ask.
Chishao's lips trembled and opened several times. Finally, she couldn't help crying out loud: "The old witch... is gone..."
"What?"
"Old witch..."
"Old witch..."
Everyone in the room was horrified and gathered around the old witch, trying frantically to wake him up.
However, all this is destined to be in vain.
After the old witch fulfilled his wish, he no longer had any obsessions in his heart and passed away suddenly.
For a while, the bamboo house was filled with cries.
Outside the bamboo house, a giant black eagle lay on the ground, whimpering sadly for a long time.
…
After the old witch passed away, Chishao chanted the soul-soothing spell for him for seven whole days, and the people of the Teng tribe also held a sacrifice for him.
However, the old witch was not a member of the Teng tribe after all and could not be buried in the territory of the Teng tribe.
In accordance with the old witch's last wishes, Jiang Xuan personally found a large piece of animal hide that had been nitrated and carefully wrapped the old witch.
Afterwards, he asked the best carpenter in the tribe to build a coffin according to his memories of his previous life and bury the old witch in it.
Finally, they placed the coffin on the back of a giant black eagle and secured it with ropes woven from animal skins.
According to the old witch's last wish, Chishao personally copied a map of the Great Wilderness Herbs on a scroll of fine animal skin, and tied it to the back of the black eagle along with some of the old witch's relics and some gifts from the Teng tribe.
"Cry..."
The giant black eagle carried the coffin into the sky, circled three times over the Vine Tribe, and after wailing for a long time, flew towards the Eagle Tribe in the east.
"Goodbye, old witch..."
Jiang Xuan kept waving at the giant eagle's back until it disappeared into the distant sky. Then he put down his hands with a sense of loss, withdrew his gaze, and comforted Chi Shao beside him.
At this time, Chishao was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
…
In the thirty-third year of the Teng tribe, Qingye gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Xuan and named her Jiang Qingwen.
In the thirty-fifth year of the Vine Tribe, the shaman of the Crocodile Tribe passed away and a new shaman took office.
In the thirty-sixth year of the Teng Tribe, with the support of the new witch and most of the members of the Crocodile Tribe, the old leader abdicated and Qingye took over as the new leader of the Crocodile Tribe.
In the winter of the same year, Qingye began to carry out drastic reforms on the entire crocodile tribe, promoting large numbers of young people and dismissing those inactive and stubborn older generation tribal leaders.
During this process, Qingye also encountered a lot of troubles and dangers. However, with the secret help of the Fuji tribe and the protection of the supporters of her own tribe, she overcame all these difficulties one by one.
Three years later, the Crocodile Tribe ushered in a new life under the leadership of Qingye! She fulfilled her original promise and made the people of the Crocodile Tribe live a better life than before!
…
Thirty-eight years in the Teng tribe.
The tribe is stable inside and outside, and developing steadily. Jiang Xuan's son and daughter have become more sensible and no longer need to be taken care of around the clock.
In early April, Jiang Xuan left the tribe riding on the purple eagle Tangyuan and headed for the southern part of the southern continent.
He is off to solve a mystery that has troubled him many years ago.
When Jiang Xuan first arrived in the central part of the Southern Wilderness, he saw a strange tribe in the trading area of the Spider Tribe. That was the Rhino Tribe.
This tribe is located in a remote area and has little intersection with the Teng tribe, but it left a deep impression on Jiang Xuan.
Because they actually possessed an ancient bronze ware and were able to make black pottery with superb skills.
Moreover, the living habits and various tools of the Rhino Tribe are completely different from those of other tribes, and there are many secrets hidden in the tribe.
Jiang Xuan actually wanted to go to the Rhino Tribe to take a look in person a long time ago, but he was always busy with various things and simply couldn't spare the time.
Now, he finally has time.
"babble……"
The purple carved glutinous rice balls flapped their huge wings and flew south carrying Jiang Xuan.
They walked and stopped along the way, asking the tribes along the way for the direction of the Rhino Tribe.
Ten days later, they arrived at the southernmost part of the southern continent and saw an extremely vast ocean.
“Clatter…”
Today is a sunny day. Jiang Xuan stood on the beach, looking at the shells, conchs, crabs, seabirds everywhere, and the endless sea. Feeling the cool sea breeze, he felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
He even found some sun-dried sea salt on a reef.
Jiang Xuan tasted some sea salt and couldn't help but sigh: "The resources on the coast are so rich. If we had crossed over to the coast instead of inland, I'm afraid the tribe would have developed faster."
Jiang Xuan sighed, picked up some beautiful conchs and shells, then rode Tangyuan back to search for the Rhino Tribe.
On April 12, Jiang Xuan finally found the Rhino Tribe in a primeval forest by the sea and saw herds of black rhinoceros.
He was surprised to find that there was a mud brick house in this tribe! (End of this chapter)
