Chapter 205: The Old Priest Doubt
When there was a ferociously attacking beast attacking Yuan Ji\'s place of residence, and the rumor that all the prey which were alive possessed by Yuan Ji were stolen flew into Yuan Zhan\'s ear, Yuan Zhan felt that it was time to talk to Zhang.
On the same day, when Yuan Zhan stepped on the thick snow and walked to the front door of the pit house where the Yuan Ji was staying in the outer city, several Yuan Ji warriors were removing snow which had piled from last night, the gates of the pit house were blocked.
"Zhang is there?"
"Da Zhan! Hey, Chief Zhan, Chief is inside."
The warrior was thinking about whether or not to report, and he heard a voice from the hut: "Is that Da Zhan? Come in."
Yuan Zhan smiled at the warrior, patted him, pushed the threshold and walked down the steps.
There are two pelts curtain and each leading to different sides of the steps, Chief Zhang sat on the left and The Old Priest on the right, and the ornaments on the animal\'s skin curtains indicate their identity.
Yuan Zhan was about to open the animal skin curtain on the left side, the animal skin curtain on the right side was pulled up, The Old Priest walked out from inside, smiling: "Looking for Zhang?"
Yuan Zhan smiled at him, "Qiu Shi Da Ren.
“Just as I have something to look him for, so let\'s go together."
"If Qiu Shi Da Ren has something to look for in Chief Zhang, I can come back later."
"No, it\'s no big deal." The Old Priest smiled and laughed.
Yuan Zhan eyes flashed with a strange glint in his eyes. Since when did the old guy smile at him so much? What idea does he propose now? It’s not that Yuan Ji’s food is not enough and they plan to borrow more from him.
Thinking of that rumor, Yuan Zhan learned Yan Mo smirking face “hehe".
"Da Zhan, come in with Qiu Shi." Zhang spoke again in the room.
Yuan Zhan puller up the animal skin curtain and signaled that The Old Priest was advanced.
The Old Priest then first entered the Zheng room.
Yuan Zhan paused at the door and his eyes swept through the house before he entered.
The pit house is very dark, and there is a fire pit in the middle of the house. It is both warm and illuminated.
There is a stone pot on the fire pit, which is filled with snow water. The water steam came out of it, and it is dried quickly. Then they will add a little snow.
Zhang greeted Yuan Zhan and The Old Priest and went to sit down by the fire pit and handing a bowl of hot water to each of them.
Yuan Zhan took it, one leg was supported, one leg was twisted, and the one-handed frame was on the leg of the leg. The posture seemed very random.
"You came looking for me something?" Zhang asked for a hot drink.
Yuan Zhan put down the stone bowl. "Qiu Shi Da Ren can say something he came in to say first." He showed that he didn\'t want to say in front of The Old Priest.
He could prevent anyone from discovering him coming by drilling directly into the pit house from the ground, but he feels that it is not necessary, and he does not want to let Zhang live in uneasiness - his blood ability is easy to assassinate.
"Da Zhan, it\'s just that you are here, I was still preparing to come see you with Zhang." The Old Priest said with a smile.
Yuan Zhan once again had a strange feeling in his heart, but his expression did not change. He only raised his face and said: "What did you want with me?"
The Old Priest looked at Zheng, Zheng did not see his gaze.
The Old Priest snorted in his heart, he laughed with a bit of flattering, and smiled at Yuan Zhan: "How long we have just gotten to this land. We haven\'t prepared anything yet and we have entered the winter season, but even if we had many powerful warriors they have followed you. The last time we went to hunt this winter, we didn’t have much food.”
Farting! He says that the most powerful warriors of Yuan Ji followed him, but the more than 300 people who followed him are not all warriors. Yuan Ji left with many warriors and only about two hundred warriors. Because of his timely rescue, Yuan Ji\'s injury was not serious. Of the remaining 600 people, at least 400 people have combat effectiveness.
And the last hunting team before the winter, Lie, Zheng had taken care of Yuan Ji warriors while they were there. Jiu Yuan had a good harvest, Yuan Ji got a lot of return, and it could be used to feed them through the whole winter without any difficult, not to mention Jiu Yuan, many people are still secretly assisting Yuan Ji.
Yuan Zhan did not openly refute, he just looked at The Old Priest.
The Old Priest glared at Yuan Zhan\'s face and sighed. "We have had the living prey, but we have a lot of people to feed. There aren\'t many people to guard the prey in out hands. It\'s the last time we were invaded and hit back we wanted to keep some living things for the winter. Those were stolen by the ferociously attacking beast a few days ago."
Yuan Zhan\'s lips were frozen in a sneer, who is the ferociously attacking beast? Can the so called ferociously attacking beast that appears near Jiu Yuan not be seen by Jiu Feng and Iron Back Dragon?
Yan Mo had thought of this for a long time, and he communicated with the four murderers several times, so that they should not be hunting in the vicinity of Two Legged Monster\'s residences, Jiu Feng and Iron Back Dragon have promised that they will go further to do their hunting.
From the Jiu Yuan to The Red Salt Lake, the site of the 10-day journey is protected by Jiu Feng, even though they are now living here, Mo and he are not planning to let any population live in the land later, Jiu Feng also said he doesn\'t want to let another set of Two Legged Monster to enter it’s back garden.
Ferociously attacking beast eating Yuan Ji\'s live prey? He thought that maybe some people couldn\'t help themselves and went steal it, and then they planted this crime on Jiu Feng\'s head.
“Jiu Feng and the Iron Back Dragon family have returned to their nests.”
“What?” The Old Priest looked surprised.
“As soon as when I came back with Mo Da Ren with a group of savages, Master Jiu Feng and the Iron Back Dragon family went back to their place. If Master Jiu Feng and Iron Back Dragon came back, I believe everyone will see them hey, who wouldn’t see with those big body is not invisible."
The Old Priest looked like he just got the best news. "Is it? I thought that Mountain God Da Ren looked at our prey and stole it, I was thinking about whether or not to send someone out to hunt prey and give it to a part."
Immediately, his face was sad and sorrowful: "If it wasn\'t for Mountain God Da Ren and Iron Back Dragon, wouldn\'t that mean that there are other ferociously attacking beasts near Jiu Yuan? This is not a trivial matter. Da Zhan, either you or part of the warriors, let\'s take another hunting part. Look around to see if there is a ferociously attacking beast, but also get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible."
This old dotard! You want Jiu Yuan to help you hunt. Yuan Zhan didn\'t look at him and looked at Zhang. "Zhang, isn\'t the tribe really enough to eat?"
Zheng stayed silent and never spoken, nodded.
The Old Priest immediately said with a bit of sadness: "Now most of the people in the tribe are old, weak and sick, and they eat no less than the warriors. There are a few slaves. The season here is not right. In the past years, we have the old ones who can also grow some glutinous rice to eat, this year can only follow everyone to dig some roots.”
The Old Priest watched Zhang refused to add up, he secretly screamed at him, and then he went on to say: “We are starving with nothing to eat! The two-legged sheep (slaves who are treated as food) came to the spring, and now Zhang said that you Jiu Yuan does not allow eating of two-legged sheep, we can\'t eat, but we can\'t watch the pregnant women and children starve to death. Da Zhan, if you have extra food, Can you lend us some? We will return it after hunting together in the autumn of next year.”
Yuan Zhan’s strange feelings were on alert, since when did The Old Priest become so... How can he speak so? He also thought that The Old Priest would point to his nose like he was a nobody or he would sneer at him, or use his previous sentiments to scold him. In short, and he wouldn’t talk around the corner.
Strange, it\'s like The Old Priest’s personality suddenly changed.
A person who was arrogant in the past suddenly spoke to him with a smile. Yuan Zhan not only did not feel proud, but raised his heart alertness.
"Food, we have it, but not much. After all, Jiu Yuan was also established soon. It is a little better this year. I want to exchange food, but we don\'t want prey."
"We don\'t have slaves to exchange, warriors absolutely not.” The Old Priest saw Yuan Zhan intending to bite.
"We want women."
"No!"
"Then the child." Yuan Zhan added: "As long as they are orphans, no father and no mother. Such children, you used to keep them as two-legged reserved food in previous years, it is better to give us, the child can live, and you can get food."
The Old Priest did not immediately refuse, and he calculated in his heart, "How much food can you give us? It is best if it were a live prey, I know that you have a large group of living prey."
There is a trace of greed in The Old Priest\'s eyes. He needs blood to feed his body or it will go stiff and cease to function. He is not good at stealing, so he can only play the idea of ??prey.
Yuan Zhan did not miss the greed look. "There are no living thing, only frozen meat that has not been marinated, and ten frozen lambs for ten children."
"No." The Old Priest did not expect Jiu Yuan to be stupid to send them living prey, "The ten frozen sheep can be exchanged for up to five children, only the youngest son under the age of five."
"Under the age of ten."
"No!"
Yuan Zhan frowned. "Children cannot be taken care of, the children under five years old are weak, and it’s not good for winter.”
The Old Priest just didn’t agree. He turned to Zhang and shouted: “Chief!”
Zhang took a breath and said to Yuan Zhan: “Children under the age of six with parents and brothers will be given to you."
Seeing that Zhang was speaking, Yuan Zhan no longer insists, "How many?"
"There were 30 of them, and there are still twenty who are not starvingto death or sick, but missing their parents." Zhang has some doubt, but suffered from being unable to complain.
"Too little, add a few more women."
"No!" The women we must not give. The Old Priest is still thinking about the idea of ??the women of Granma Tribe.
Zhang grabbed three dead branches of average length, and smashed them at the middle, and two of them were thrown into the fire pit. "Da Zhan, how about this way, there are still some old people and disabled warriors in the tribe, they can\'t work, I know that Jiu Yuan has all kinds of work which does not necessarily need an abled warrior. You bring them back, give them work, let them give you a spinning thread or do anything. These people we won’t want you to change food for them. We will add eight children, this will account to twenty sheep?"
The old Chief said this to the extent that Yuan Zhan could not argue more? Even if he exchanged, and he was very disadvantaged. Yuan Zhan nodded, with a little reluctant venting his emotions, grabbed the stone bowl that had just been placed around, poured the cold water into the corner, and smashed the cup again.
The Old Priest also wanted to send out the old, weak and sick, and he was very pleased with Zhang pushing the pile of waste to Jiu Yuan so easily.
So the two sides finalized and exchanged the food equivalent to forty adult frozen lambs with twenty children under six years old.
The Old Priest still wanted to exchange the living thing, and he can\'t wait for the spring of next year, and he can\'t go into the forest now.
"Da Zhan, do you have fur? We have a good fur to exchange the prey things with you, as long as twenty... Or ten can do it."
Yuan Zhan was trying to refuse, thinking and he said: "Don\'t need fur, do you have a lot of herbs and plant seeds? We like these, Priest, if you have these, come look for Lie and we will talk."
"Ok, you will come to me later, I will find it for you. There is another thing, the winter is cold, many people in the tribe are sick, and some people are freezing and cold. If not, I will not be with a cheeky face to come to stay inside Jiu Yuan for the winter. This pit house is warmer than the tent. We are waiting for the spring of next year, we also plan to dig a few large pits like this, but the warmth of the pit house is too warm, but it is also inconvenient in such a big snow as this. But if the people in the house slept and were buried in the snow, they wouldn\'t know."
"Is Qiu Shi Da Ren thinking that the pit house that Jiu Yuan has loaned to you is not good?" Yuan Zhan tone was filled with annoyance
The Old Priest, who took advantage of the cheapest stake, smiled. "Of course not. I just thought that we can\'t borrow a house for you every winter. It\'s all for the tribe. Da Zhan, next spring, you help us with Yu Ji. City, you Xi Rang Clan can control the soil, it is not difficult for you to build a house."
How thick is this skin to raise the issue about Xi Rangs helping? Yuan Zhan was quiet for a while and he said if he had just spoken too appeasing before and that maybe let The Old Priest say... What is the word that is spoken? Yes,win an inch, want a foot!
1]... Win an inch, want a foot is an idiom meaning someone not satisfied with what he got
"Would you like us to help build a house? Okay, as long as we exchange it with a living person."
The Old Priest gave Zhang a look, and Zhang looked helpless. Yuan Zhan said: "How many of us have to be exchanged for you. Don\'t listen to Qiu Shi. How do the tribes build their things, we will make it ourselves, don\'t need your help. Didn\'t you say that you had something coming to find me? What is it??"
Zhang didn\'t look The Old Priest, knowing that he couldn\'t leave, what is the meaning of opening this mouth?
"I want to talk to you about the division of the hunt site next year."
The Old Priest heard this and didn\'t interrupt it. Just watched Zhang and Yuan Zhan negotiate.
From seeing Zhang, Yuan Zhan went back to the inner city to explain a few things and then went to see Yan Mo at the inheritance site.
Yan Mo has passed the 4th Rank test passed by The Bone Sculpting Tribe and was currently learning the 5th Rank.
Starting from the 5th Rank, the requirements for the time of studying the bones are not so strict. The bones that could only be worn on the top of the head were also made into a wide bracelet and stuck on his left wrist.
Yan Mo thinks this arrangement is very reasonable.
After all, The Bone Sculpting Tribe didn\'t think about handing over the inheritance to creatures other than The Bone Sculpting Tribe descendants. The time from 1st Rank to 3rd Rank would be so regulated so tight. It should be a requirement that only the Bone Sculpting People who can enter the inheritance. There is a certain foundation, the knowledge below 3rd Rank is not difficult for them, and it is like one going through the preparation.
The 4th Rank learning was an introduction to The Bone Sculpting People, so the voice from the bone skull gave me forty-nine days of study time. The 4th Rank exam will excludes those who are not suitable for learning bone sculpt or did not want to study the art seriously.
The 5th Rank begins with an increase in difficulty, and mental exercise becomes one of the main branches of learning. The Bone Sculpting People who have a little talent also need to exercise for a long time before grasping it. For this reason, there is no time limit for learning bones at this stage, so that the learner can learn until that time he thinks he is ready to master the trial to challenge and pass the 5th Rank.
Yan Mo guesses that even if the Bone Sculpting People mental strength is not developed, they will probably only stop at the 5th Rank. Because if you want to learn the Bone Sculpting methods of the 6th Rank or above, you must pass the 5th Rank test.
The 5th Rank begins with the requirement that learners must independently create a complete bone device that can be manipulated with yuan-crystal.
Yan Mo intends to fully grasp the knowledge of the 5th Rank and then go back. Anyway, and he has a space pocket, and he does not need to worry about food or water. It is more troublesome to take a bath and keep warm.
Yuan Zhan has no pressure because of his special ability to enter and exit The Bone Sculpting Tribe. He knows that there are more powerful big guys in the inheritance, but even if he can\'t escape he is not afraid.
“Chief Zhang was asking for help?” Yan Mo had only given a third of his attention to Yuan Zhan until he heard the sentence and looked up.
Yuan Zhan bowed his head and his expression looked very heavy. "That is the special action agreed between the warriors in the tribe. It is only used when it is trapped or threatened by the enemy, and the person does not know the situation."
"You will repeat the process.”
Yuan Zhan, not impatient, he really repeated from the start to finish.
"It seems a bit wrong, Qiu Shi, the old guy..." Yan Mo looked worried.
Yuan Zhan, "You heard it too? I think The Old Priest is like changed person."
"Is he changed?" Yan Mo’s heart was shocked, he was thinking that the old guy would not be crossing over like him?
"I want to meet him."
"No hurry, you first pass the Bone Sculpting Tribe test, the tribe has me watching over it, there will be nothing going wrong. If The Old Priest really has problems, I would like to see what he wants to do."
"It is nothing more than the idea of stealing Jiu Yuan\'s ideas, or for The Fruit of Witchcraft. Do you think Qiu Shi knows that The Fruit of Witchcraft is on me?”
“I didn\'t feel it.”
Yan Mo slapped the knee. “If it was the original Old Priest, as long as he heard about The Fruit of Witchcraft, he will be able to analyze that the fruit is now in me. When Jiu Feng brought the fruit back, many people in Yuan Ji Tribe saw that, and some of those people did not come back with us.
“I was going to find a chance to find Zhang so he can tell me about this, but Qiu Shi watches over Zhang very tightly."
"I will find the opportunity, wait for me to come back, I will find a reason to have both of them come, and we will talk to them separately." Yan Mo’s impression of Zhang is very good. He doesn’t want this person to die or be abandoned.
Zhang was still thinking about sending out the people who are not living in the tribe to get a living prey, so that the leader is dead too.
Yuan Zhan also laughed. "I am more and more skeptical that the old guy is not Qiu Shi. Zhang said that he would give me the old people and the disabled. He didn\'t stop it. He thought it was cheap skate. The children he didn\'t say anything about it, the younger they are, the easier it is to change loyalties, about the old and the weak, they cannot take care of the old warriors who cannot hunt prey, some people are still disabled, but their combat experience and hunt experience are still there, they have lived to forty years old The one who are above 40 are all fine. In the past winters, if there was not enough food, no one will go to the point of killing the old warriors\' idea. It is really impossible to stop, they usually they killed themselves. We Jiu Yuan is now lacking anything in term of food. These experienced old warriors can help us to train new warriors, future slaves, and those savage people, which is why they are of great use."
