Chapter 68: Double-edged sword
Luo Meng is not as afraid of fire as Little La Ruo. They have occasionally seen the woods burnt when they're hit by thunder. The Tribe Temple also had descriptions of the fire, so although he is very curious about human fire, it also knows that this is a very common thing.
They did not go for the mutton at first, because they never ate such a heavy food, and they also can't eat strange food.
Yan Mo saw that they were not used to the mutton pot and he changed the grilled fish.
Sure enough, this time they exchanged the grilled fish, and the three handsome The Mer-people eyes stared at Yan Mo's hand, watching him cut the fish, clean fish scales, wash the fish, and slash the fish with a skillful technique. And then seasoning.
Seeing the scalpel, Luo Meng was curious about its shape, but was not curious about its material.
Yan Mo had previously discovered that the three harpoon materials used by Luo Meng seemed to be similar to his scalpel, but unlike his scalpel, which was perfectly reshaped to this thinness, the three harpoons looked like they were made with fish bones. But since when are fish bones so sharp and hard?
Rich vocabulary, fluent language, and weapons that seem to use special manufacturing methods, The Mer-people seem to be developing better than ordinary humans, at least better than they are now.
It seems that the tribe has really accelerated its development. It can attract sympathy when it is weak, but if it is weak for a long time, it is easily to be scorned and controlled. Yan Mo knew that the Jiu Yuan needed an ally, not to replace a master for himself.
Four grilled fish, just one person, but Yan Mo only ate a half of his when he turned the other three Mer-people guys have already finished their own share, and they were staring at the fish in his hand.
"No wonder that La Ruo would run around every day and mix with the two human children , it turns out he was eating better food..." Luo Meng was excited
Dai Wen enthusiastically asked Yan Mo: "Do you want to eat fruit? Want to eat more fish? After today you can come every day, we will give you fish, a lot of fish, can you bake them as well?"
Xi Meng has already plunged into the lake, and soon Yan Mo saw several fish flying to the shore.
Dai Wen quickly took all the fish and sent them to Yan Mo and he spoke a little flatteringly. "Eat fish, eat fish."
Yan Mo twitched his mouth, he didn't want to be a chef, and he didn't want to let these Mer-people get addicted to his cooking. There was already one bastard at his tent who was addicted. He looked up and looked at the sky deliberately. His face was anxious. "Sorry, there are still things to do in the tribe that I have to do. I have to go back."
"Ah?" Three The Mer-people expressed disappointment "Can't you play here for a while? We will pick the fruit for you to eat."
Yan Mo shook his head. "Maybe next time, I really have to go back."
This is not his deception, it's nearly noon now, Big Eyes would probably be coming soon, he still doesn't want to have his Priest status revealed by his children to his Priest status.
"When is next time? Tomorrow?" Luo Meng asked.
"Three days, I will come over at the same time today after three days." Yan Mo saw the disappointment in the eyes of Three Mer-people, and he smiled in his heart. Three days is enough for them to remember, but they will not forget him.
Before leaving, he left a small bag of roughly three or two heavy salt.
"This is a special product of our tribe. Only our people can refine it. You can wipe it on food and adding it to the soup can make the taste of the food very good. If you add it, you can see the personal taste. You just saw me roasting the fish, just sprinkle a little bit on it and it will taste good."
Luo Meng carefully took the small bag of salt, because the young boy said that the thing can be taken in the water, he intended to pit it in a bag and and bring it back.
"These fish are for you." Xi Meng piled all the six fat fishes to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo thanked them, he untied the straw rope, and passed it through the fishing heads and stringed all the fish.
Dai Wen seemed to be very interested in the straw rope, he grabbed the straw rope and looked at it
Until Yan Mo walked far, three The Mer-people were still watching him. Luo Meng handed the salt to Dai Wen, "Bring this to the leader."
Dai Wen and Xi Meng understood what he meant and nodded.
Luo Meng's long fishtail swung down the snow, he wanted to see where the teenager lives, and how many people there are in the tribe, whether they are a threat to them.
Luo Meng did not feel surprised to see the juveniles and the two adults who had smashed a bunch of dead branches.
It's normal for adults to come out at home, and it's very likely that the little ones followed Da Ren to run here. Da Ren works nearby, and the little kids is responsible for playing.
Yan Mo didn't think that The Mer-people would follow them, maybe he thought of it, but he didn't remind the two warriors, but pretended he didn't know, and the two warriors turned to have not noticed
Luo Meng followed them for more than an hour. On the way, he also saw the two little brats who often went to replace La Ruo. However, the little brats did not see his and he did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The teenager and the two adults walked away and they avoided the brats
Far away, Luo Meng discovered that there were more gravel wall buildings on the high ground that he had never been seen before.
The stone wall was mixed with a large number of large and small round stones, grayish white, and it was seemingly hard and not long, it was only about an adult Mer-people stacked together vertically.... That long. But the height of the wall is very high, the height of the wall was two fully grown Mer-people added up and with their tails stretched.
How long have these humans been here. How can they build a stone wall that looks so strong so quickly? What kind of gray-white material is used there? Is it some kind of stone that he has not seen? Why can the round stone be set together?
Luo Meng was a little wary when he saw the young man taking out the scalpel. Now he saw this unfinished stone wall and the valued if the this tribe's human beings went up three times.
Maybe the Mere people have finally met a strong neighbor. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, he doesn't know yet. However, they basically live in the lake, the staple food is also fish, and so there is not conflict with the and if there is the conflict is not very big, but who knows whether these humans will be as very aggressive and greedy as the records in the temple shows? That group of humans.
Luo Meng has studied, so he knows that human beings that looks like the Mer-people, have a very aggressive tribes and some who are kind and friendly, that is, he doesn't know which one this Jiu Yuan tribe belongs to. But no matter which one, they are not afraid, the Long-tail The Mer-people are not very aggressive races, but the gods have given them the natural ability and strong body, so that they are not afraid of any enemy.
Luo Meng did not dare to get too close. He saw human beings patrolling, but he only circled the highland far away.
From the tents that have been set up, this tribe is as young as a teenager. There are not many people. But this does show the extent that there are only a few people, probably other people go hunting? Luo Meng thought.
Luo Meng also saw the adults of this tribe salute the juvenile. Is that a salute? Putting your right fist to the left chest and nod.
So the boy should be in a higher position in this tribe? Is he the tribe leader's child? Or what? No wonder he told them that he go to them to play in three days. If one is a child if a leader, then you must learn and do a lot of things.
Luo Meng probed clearly and quickly turned around. Although The Mer-people can survive on land, they can't leave the water for too long. Although the snow in winter can supplement their water need, the cold air has a great impact on them, and they need to go back to the lake because they need the warmth.
Yan Mo saw that Wu Chen was left behind by the two bear children. When a person was doing something there, he waved at him.
Wu Chen immediately left his job and ran over.
"You don't have to worry about them. I already know what's going on. If there is no change, they should invite you to go with them tomorrow."
Wu Chen tried to understand the words of Priest Da Ren, and Yan Mo said it again.
Wu Chen understood, he was a little embarrassed. He was really upset in his heart. Big Eyes and Sa left him alone. This feeling of being less trusted by little friends was terrible.
Yan Mo patted the child and watched his face freeze, and naturally grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse.
The child is basically healthy except for a lack of nutrition. Their food is still too singular, although meat can replenish energy, but eating only meat is bad for the body.
After putting down Wu Chen's wrist, Yan Mo suddenly turned back and grabbed Wu Chen's wrist again.
Wu Chen was stunned. In the past, Priest Da Ren touched their wrists like this. He told them that this is called “pulse" and that it is possible to judge whether a person is sick or not by this method.
Wu Chen and other children see this as a magical witchcraft, Wu Chen wanted to learn, and Priest Da Ren also said that after they learn the basics, he will test them on what they have learned. To this end, he has been desperately learning all the knowledge that Priest Da Ren has given him, and he only wanted to learn and finish all of it at once.
Yan Mo stared at Wu Chen, his expression was a bit complicated.
Although not as strong and obvious as Yuan Zhan in terms of performance, just now, when he put down Wu Chen's wrist, he did feel a little abnormality.
This time, he carefully examined the details and found out that he had caught the slightest change.
This pulse, it was as if it was a normal drum sound, suddenly it became aggravated and drumming it again. After a while, it was very regular, but the interval was very long. If it was not noticed, it would be ignored.
This vein is strange to Yan Mo, but he frequently picked up these kinds of pulses in Yuan Zhan, so that he did not miss the change of Wu Chen.
Yuan Zhan's pulse is much stronger than Wu Chen, and the interval between the strongest drums is not as long as Wu Chen, it was just like Yuan Zhan had another energy that supports his physical activity.
This energy is attached to Yuan Zhan's body, meridians and acupuncture points, but it is different from ordinary people.
If there is really internal force in this world, Yan Mo must suspect that this pulse is evidence of the existence of internal power.
In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians and acupoints are one of the necessary knowledge for a practitioner
In general, the human body has a total of 14 meridians, in addition to 12 regular, and other veins and a lot of Du Meridian. A total of 475 acupoints, excluding odd points 114, normal point 361.
Yan Mo also suspected the origin and role of meridian acupoint knowledge.
For example, the first medical book referring to the concepts of meridians and acupoints is called "The Yellow Emperor's Canon." Although the author of this book cannot be sure--the judgment of later generations is summed up by many people and slowly refined, but by the time of his writing has basically been determined that it was in the Warring States period, that is to say, the medical knowledge mentioned in the book of Neijing was summarized before the Warring States and written in the Warring States.
Then there is a problem here. Under the technological conditions that were behind at that time, how were the meridians and acupoints discovered? If the meridians and acupoints can really be traced back to the Yellow Emperor period, then how did they discover and use the meridian points?
Any doctrine needs a long time to accumulate before it can become a doctrine.
If humans discovered meridians and acupuncture points in ancient times, can he imagine that the people at that time used the meridians and acupoints frequently? So did the frequency of use became so high that they can be summed up and passed down in the Yellow Emperor thousands of years later?
Considering that modern people, especially Western medicine, do not pay attention to meridians and acupoints, Chinese medicine does not really have the effect as the Western medicine. Many people do not trust Western medicine. They look at Chinese medicine like luck charms. Then these are not valued and be totally believed. Is it easy to learn Chinese medicine knowledge that is easy to learn Western medicine knowledge?
Perhaps the Chinese medicine that has been passed down to the present has been wrong in every aspect, and most of the modern Chinese medicine practitioners are based on the gourd paintings. Few people have to ponder and delve into the scientific basis and reason of the reason behind a certain Chinese healing method.
However, Yan Mo felt that Chinese medicine can be spread around thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years in his country. Only in the course of development, in the long history, there was a very important part of knowledge that went missing.
Maybe it was the big flood that affected the whole world? Yan Mo smiled. He suspected that there had been a high degree of civilization in his country, and that this civilization is likely to be related to the utilization and development of the human body's own capabilities.
As for why there are no traces of high-level civilization, according to the myths and legends of some countries, "Gods" are often involved in some fightings, and their destructive power is also amazing. Some of their destructive power is comparable to nuclear missiles.
Perhaps after the fight of Gods a flood hit, nothing left, only some word of mouth knowledge and myths were passed down in the mouth of some survivors. Now think about it, the flood that has spread to the whole world is also very suspicious. Can a flood spread across the world? Was it really irrelevant to the disappearance of those "gods"?
Yan Mo is a habitually conspiracy theorist
“Da Ren?" Wu Chen was a little uneasy, why did Da Ren hold his hand, isn't he... is he dying?
The sudden death of such a child is not a new thing. On the contrary, there are still many. He has never seen three or four times since he was so big. It was the easiest to die just after he was born, but even if he grew up, he could die because of various reasons that he does not know, sometimes he still looked at the day before yesterday, the next day, some people are gone because they just died.
Yan Mo returned to reality and saw the uneasy look on the child's face. He immediately smiled: "Nothing, I am just thinking about something. You... will come to my tent later."
He needs to be sure. He didn't experiment with Wu Chen, he really just wanted to make sure.
Imagine if there is really a force in the human meridian, and this power can be triggered and gradually made to become stronger through proper exercise methods...
Yan Mo let go of Wu Chen and held his palm tightly. He can't be so excited. He should treat this matter with his normal heart, but he wanted to study this matter thoroughly and the madly urgency forced him to suffer hiding his excitement.
Wu Chen looked at Priest Da Ren and turned his tent. He stood there for a while, and he felt fear in his heart. He always felt that Priest Da Ren had found something terrible in him.
Yan Mo, who returned to the tent and drank a bowl of cold water to calm himself down, suddenly noticed that his right hand was bright again.
Yan Mo saw the right hand light up, the first reaction was: I just thought about it, I didn't really want to take the child and experiment on him.... Ok, actually he really wanted to.
Yan Mo glared at his right hand, unable to snarl in his heart, and finally lucked a few times, he still had to raise his hand to look at it.
At the same time as he opened his palm, a series of hints of reducing points appeared naturally in his mind.
Looking at the tips, Yan Mo's face was dark.
Your mother! Yuan Zhan hunting went to kill a lot of creatures what about me?! Why do you want to add 20 scum points?
20 points! That bastard even added him 20 points!
He has to be punished again!
As for the reduction point because of teaching Yuan Zhan to learn the primary training method, he did not care about it. He now has only thought of a small penalty that will be coming soon - The Pain Of Stone Hitting!
The hateful guide doesn't wait for him to be mentally prepared. He probably looked at the people around him. He has nothing to do with his hand. The punishment was actually coming.
"Hey!"
Yan Mo felt like he had heard the sound of a stone hitting his back.
"Hey!" Yan Mo gasped and fell to the ground.
"Hey!" The stone seemed to hit directly on his head.
Yan Mo raised his hand subconsciously, thinking that he would touch a handful of blood, but no, he only felt a huge stone on his head
"Hey!" This is the most excessive! It his his nose!
Yan Mo burst into tears.
... Maybe he knows what the double-edged sword that The Guide warned about.
Your mother, he should not have taught the bastard first. As a result, the little bastard ability increased greatly, and his killing was greatly used and the fruit of this sin was counted on the teacher's head.
Hey! He hates it!
Double-edged sword, double-edged sword, is really a double-edged sword. Learning and training methods can make people's abilities more powerful, but the killings brought about by them was punished to him the one who taught and the threat to other creatures is also increased. In other words, Yuan Zhan will not hold back in his killing and he will bear all?!
This is probably the same as him teaching Cao Ting about some of his herbal knowledge. Cao Ting used it to save people or teach others. He will also get to reduce the scum points
and many more! If you follow this rule, then Cao Ting will increase the scum value if she use the knowledge he taught him to harm other creatures.
Yan Mo shed tears and his face became pale.
Wiping his tears, he was thinking about the benefits, although Yuan Zhan killing spree should a pain to him but if he uses his ability to save people and buildings, etc. Yan Mo will also be able to reduced his scum points and it will be balanced, so it seems it is acceptable?
When Yuan Zhan came back, he will tell him that in the future, don't go on a killing spree. The Tribe will have a prime motto of saving lives, caring for the environment, and living in harmony with all living things is good.
But no matter what, when the little bastard comes back, he must fix him with a gold needle and slap him mercilessly! Otherwise, his atonememt is really difficult to swallow
“Auntie –!"
Yuan Zhan suddenly sneeze in front of a small stone mountain vacant lot 30 kilometers away.
The Awu warriors who are happily tying the prey to the board looked at him.
Yuan Zhan wiped out the nose and wiped off the blood on his face. He whispered: "It's a bit cold."
Hu Hu came over and said happily: "Da Ren, this time we got enough prey to eat through to the spring! Priest Da Ren will be very happy after he sees so many prey."
“Yes." Yuan Zhan thought of his Priest Da Ren, and he also had a smile on his face, but this smile was a bit awkward and a bit strange.
Hey! He finally had a way to deal with the little slaves, this time he will not let him refuse to sleep with him.
