"Well, the Eight Caves are just the beginning. There's no need for you to be surprised, clan leader." Shi Heng smiled mysteriously.
"You!" The old patriarch smiled and pointed at Shi Heng with his hand.
After thinking about it for a while and calming down, Shi Heng continued with the topic he had prepared.
"Chief, do you know the origin of Shi Village?"
The old patriarch didn't expect that Shi Heng's topic would be the origin of Shi Village.
"It's too long ago. I only heard from my ancestors that our clan seemed to have a great and amazing origin, but even we ourselves have almost forgotten it, and only a few words have been passed down.
Later, when the little one's parents came, I understood the general situation. On the other side of the earth, there is another branch of the Stone Clan that came out of the wilderness and established an extremely glorious country. Our lineage is the ancestral lineage."
The old patriarch himself was a little skeptical at first, but after Shi Ziling and his wife cleared up his doubts, he finally understood the seemingly true history.
"Chief, have you ever thought about the origin of the Stone Clan?"
"Oh~?"
Shi Heng continued with a smile: "You are right in your first sentence. The ancient times were indeed extremely glorious. Do you remember the nine heavens and ten earths I told you about?"
"What do you mean?" the old man asked in surprise.
"Well, the Stone Clan came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. One of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is collectively called the Three Thousand States. The land of a state is several times larger than the Eight Regions. The Stone Clan came from the Three Thousand States.
The Stone Clan was once one of the most glorious clans in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. In ancient times, due to some chaos and bloodshed, some of them were released into this desolate area and raised in captivity, and have been passed down to this day.
I think the reason why the ancient country over there didn’t come to look for the ancestral land is probably because they know some reasons.”
This time it was the old patriarch's turn to be speechless with shock. He never expected that the origin of Shi Village would be so astonishing. When he was young, he also thought that these words passed down were just boasting by his ancestors.
Now that he is older, he believes these words only to ignite the fighting spirit of his tribesmen and motivate them to strive for survival.
Reality is so absurd. What he has to accept now is countless times more shocking than what he has realized.
A bonfire was burning in the distance, and the aroma of barbecue drifted out of the village, attracting the brave beasts, who lay on the village wall, staring at the barbecue intently.
The villagers around the bonfire were singing and dancing. Shi Feijiao said something funny that made everyone burst into laughter. After the pressure of survival was released, everyone looked free and at ease.
After a long while, Shi Heng continued, "Chief, this world is far more vast than we imagined. You don't have to ask me why I know all this. If I say too much now, it will only cause more trouble.
I came to see you, Chief, to ask you what your plans are for the future of Shi Village."
Chapter 39 High Priest Shi Heng (Please collect)
The old patriarch was also extremely conflicted. He understood what Shi Heng meant, but he was only at the Cave Heaven Realm after all. What Shi Heng said was too far away from him.
The two of them fell silent for a while, with only the sound of villagers talking and laughing in the distance.
There was a mixture of fighting spirit and retreat in the eyes of the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng. He knew that Shi Heng had always respected him and what he said was absolutely true.
After a long time, the old patriarch finally asked his question: "We in Shi Village originally lived in the vast mountains, with no food to eat. If you hadn't come, I'm sure we would have had a hard time surviving, and there would be no such great place.
Because of her, you don't have to pay too much attention to us."
"Chief, it's too polite for you to say that. If you hadn't taken me in on the first day, I would have died in the wilderness. Moreover, without me, I believe that Shi Village will surely soar to great heights in the future."
Shi Heng shook his head to deny his role, and then continued: "Have you forgotten? The Shi Clan was a top clan in ancient times. You have the most glorious blood flowing in your veins, and you should be able to awaken the potential that matches it."
"how do I say this?"
The old patriarch raised a question. Even though Shi Village was very glorious in ancient times, for such a long time, no true genius had appeared in Shi Village. At best, they could only be considered excellent, and all of them had wasted their time and died in the resource-scarce wilderness.
“Chief, do you still remember the secret method I passed on to little Shi Hao in Shi Village?
After little Shi Hao practiced that day, he saw a towering figure in his blood. That was the origin of the Shi clan.
He...didn't leave!"
When the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng heard this, he was once again shocked and speechless. This was too unbelievable. What kind of existence could leave a trace in the blood?
Shi Heng continued, “You yourself know that some races with excellent bloodlines can inherit the marks of magic techniques passed down by their ancestors.
As the most glorious bloodline in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is no reason why its potential would be so poor.
Moreover, haven’t you noticed it in the past two years? Have you felt that the children in the village have become more intelligent? "
After Shi Heng finished speaking, he grinned at the old patriarch without further explanation.
The old patriarch was still digesting the information in Shi Heng's words. Just as Shi Heng said, how could the most glorious bloodline not have the potential to match it.
The old man instantly realized what Shi Heng wanted to say, and asked excitedly: "Xiao Heng, do you want to use a secret method to activate the potential of your bloodline?!!"
"That's why I asked you what you think about the future development of Shi Village." Shi Heng replied with a smile.
"Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, it seems like you are walking into a trap!"
How could the old man not be happy? As a human being, how could he not have lofty ambitions? It was just that he was defeated by the cruel environment and his fighting spirit was dulled.
"But what's the plan?"
"There's a saying in my hometown that a blacksmith must be strong himself. Now that we have the body of the beast king, our Shi Village won't have to go out hunting for a long time.
We need the young and strong men in the village to practice with all their strength!
Now that all the people and animals within a radius of 100,000 miles of the Cangmang Mountains have been wiped out, I’m afraid that Xiao Shihao will need to be busy for a while…”
The two of them whispered to each other and drafted a plan for the Stone Village for the next year.
Then he called Shi Linhu to join in the whispering, and then the elder in charge also joined in.
The discussion didn't last too long. The moon was high in the sky and the barbecue on the campfire had been almost finished.
Although the essence in the flesh and blood of lions and tigers is amazing, nowadays, not to mention the young and strong, even the young boys have already reached the initial stage of blood movement. The bone text has long been integrated into the blood and can be transformed into divine mist to temper themselves. It is just the right thing to replenish the essence.
"Dang! Dang!"
Shi Linhu clapped his hands twice at the bronze tripods, then signaled the old patriarch to speak.
All the villagers gathered together, young and old, big and small, there were only about 300 people in the whole village, standing together to form a semicircle. It was really a very small village, and there was still a large space left for Lianwuping.
"Okay! Everyone, be quiet." The old patriarch's gentle voice came into everyone's ears from the open space.
Everyone, big and small, stared at the old patriarch in total silence.
"Ever since Willow God brought our village here, good things have happened in succession for several days. Everyone should be able to feel it and know who brought about the changes."
After the old patriarch finished speaking, all the villagers looked at Shi Heng who was standing next to the old patriarch.
Shi Heng smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, it was the first time he made a decision for someone else.
"Yes, it's Shi Heng. Since he came to our village two years ago, we have been blessed with good luck. We have never had a day without a full meal. You should all understand this.
Tonight, while everyone is here, I am here to announce one thing, that is, let Shi Heng be the high priest of our Shi Village!"
"What? Me!" Shi Heng did not expect the old patriarch to say something different from what they had discussed, and it was about him. He quickly evaded the question, "Old patriarch, I can't..."
Sometimes people need a push from others, otherwise they will always be a useless person. Obviously the old man saw through his desire to lie down.
The old patriarch interrupted him and continued to speak to the villagers: "Do you all agree?"
"Agreed! Yunfeng, we have no objection."
All the elders of the clan said they had no objection. The decision of the old clan leader Shi Yunfeng was final in Shi Village. Since he was the one who proposed it first, they had no objection at all.
"agree!"
Young and strong women and children all expressed that they had no objection. Shi Heng's martial arts and character were impeccable, and the changes he brought to Shi Village were obvious to all.
"Agree! Agree!" The young boys in Shi Village made a fuss in the crowd because they had no right to speak.
Little Shihao and his friends including Pihou and Snotty Kid squatted together. The childish responses of more than a dozen little kids rang out one after another, causing all the villagers to burst into laughter.
The villagers did not question the old patriarch's proposal. Not to mention Shi Heng's importance, his martial arts and contributions alone were enough to make him the high priest.
All the villagers looked at Shi Heng, waiting for him to express his opinion.
"Old Patriarch, I will live up to my mission!" Shi Heng bowed solemnly to the old patriarch.
In his previous life, he was a little argumentative and could talk like crazy behind the computer, but now he is pushed onto the stage, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
It's just a little bit, he is not a three-year-old child. After all, he is already the best master in Shi Village. This burden is nothing for his current situation.
What's more, doesn't he know why the old patriarch gave him this position?
Everything is unspoken.
"Since everyone agrees, then from now on, Shi Heng is the high priest of our Shi Village. Everyone must respect and love him."
"Yes!"
All the villagers agreed with the old patriarch's words.
"The decision to appoint Shi Heng as the high priest was made by me on the spur of the moment. Actually, what I want to say is that it was a plan that I discussed with the high priest, Lin Hu, and several elders."
The old patriarch began to talk about the next plan. Because of the lion and tiger bodies, the hunting team will not go out on a large scale in the next six months.
Teams were formed to take turns exploring the surrounding environment and tribes within a thousand miles, with Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao and Shi Shoushan leading the first echelon.
Once the location of the Beast King is found, Shi Heng will take action to kill it and directly clear the mountain environment within a thousand miles.
The rest of the young and strong men were also divided into teams, specializing in finding herbs and various poisonous insects that could be used as medicine.
The old patriarch even deliberately put the blame on the new high priest, saying that it was the high priest's arrangement.
The young men of Shi Village will learn the secret techniques from Shi Heng, from those aged three to twelve, and now also including young girls.
This was Shi Heng's special request. The population of Shi Village is too small, and the population advantage must be fully utilized.
Not everyone can successfully practice the Devouring Cultivation Method. There are only a few people in Shi Village who can do it. Shi Heng has no idea, so he just waits and see.
The old patriarch did not explain any secret method to the villagers, and strictly ordered everyone not to mention a word to others.
In fact, after learning about the magic of the Suanni, the villagers also realized the seriousness of this kind of thing. If they were not careful, it would lead to the annihilation of the whole clan, so they warned them three times not to tell anyone even if they were beaten to death.
Having said so much, what I actually want to do is to make short-term goals more clear.
Shi Heng looked at the boys and girls in the village who had to put together to form a class, and realized that everything is difficult at the beginning.
Shi Heng even specifically asked the old patriarch why there were no people from other tribes in Shi Village. Only after the old patriarch explained it did he understand.
The tribe had suffered many hardships before, and after arriving at the Cangmang Mountains, only the Stone Clan was left.
Later, they intermarried within the clan and did not absorb new population.
