Zhang Tian did not ask them to migrate in the name of their ancestors as soon as he came up. Radical reforms would only usher in fierce resistance. Any attempt to change other people's minds should be done step by step. And if you are not ready to start now, there is no need to rush.

[Faith value: 5]

As soon as he finished speaking, his faith value immediately increased by 5 points.

The setting of faith in the game, if you believe it, you will have spirit, if you don’t believe it, you will have nothing. It comes from the heart, and there is no formal requirement. Even if a person never prays, as long as he truly believes that there is a god three feet above his head, and believes that the sky will

Bring him guidance and revelation, and he is a believer.

The belief value increases by 5 points, which means that 5 people have completely accepted Zhang Tian's words. They believe that looking to the sky will get guidance from their ancestors.

Considering that the tribe has not developed totem worship, fertility worship or other primitive beliefs, and has no concept of supernatural beings such as gods, he followed his grandmother's words and pushed his ancestors to the front, compared to the untouchable sky.

, ancestors are obviously more approachable and convincing.

Everyone felt a little sorry for him. It turned out that he often looked up at the sky for this reason... Originally some people did not understand his behavior, but now they all suddenly realized it, and their incomprehension turned into sympathy and pity.

Lanhua came over and hugged Zhang Tian, ​​like a mother hugging an injured child. She did this completely out of instinct. At this time, people may not be able to comfort people with positive and warm words, but they have learned to use actions to practice the most primitive principles.

comfort.

Grandma looked at the dancing flames and was in a daze.

Occasionally she would hear the voice of her mother or her ancestors, but usually it was in her dreams. Sometimes she would wake up with tears streaming down her face, but she could not remember what her mother said.

Can you hear your mother's voice when you look up at the sky?

Yes, my mother clearly said that she would become a star in the sky, but I only stared at my feet and the people around me, but I forgot to look up at the sky and look at my mother.

Grandma didn't doubt Zhang Tian's words, but she suddenly felt a little sentimental. She couldn't help but think that it would be better if she used to look up at the sky when she was a child.

Xiao was also a little sad, but he was even more curious. His curiosity was always very strong, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is prayer?"

"Prayer is to look up to the sky and tell the sky your wishes."

Zhang Tian directly defined the object of prayer as the sky.

"Oh!" Xiao Zuo suddenly realized, "Then your wish must be that you heard your mother's voice. Can your wish come true just by praying?"

Of course this is impossible, but it is animal instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Fish will take the bait even if they are put out. People are much smarter than fish. Without benefits, there are no believers. The benefits can be the abstract doomsday judgment, reincarnation, or...

The actual divine right of kings and the payment of money for sins all depend on human needs.

The wishes of primitive people are nothing more than to have enough food and clothing, and for their children to grow up safely. Zhang Tianxin said that you don’t need to trouble the gods for these requirements. I can fulfill them for you if I work hard.

So he incited everyone and said, "I don't know about this. You can try it. Everyone can try it."

Xiao Xiao, Bai and the other children immediately jumped up and ran outside the cave, looking up at the sky.

Everyone followed, looking eager to try, including grandma who was very old and didn't often leave the cave.

It's just a wish to the sky, and you won't lose anything, so why not do it? If you realize the best, if you don't realize it, just treat it as a group activity, and there will be no loss anyway.

With this mentality, everyone prayed to the sky. The men hoped to hunt more wild animals tomorrow, the women hoped to collect more plants tomorrow, and the children hoped they would not be hungry tomorrow. Grandma was still at a high level, so she hoped it would be cold.

Get over it as soon as possible, and the tribe will continue forever.

After everyone finished praying, Zhang Tian claimed that he heard the voice again and received new guidance.

"We need more fishing rods and hooks, and more bamboo cages to hold fish."

This is exactly what the men want. This group of strong savages thinks that fishing and hunting are the same thing. They think that even two children can catch a cage full of fish. If it were them, they would definitely only have more fish.

Quite a few.

They ran into the hole excitedly and happily selected bamboos for making fishing rods.

However, the quantity of bamboo in stock is limited and not everyone can get it.

The tiger head and the tiger's claws caught the same bamboo. They both said they picked it first, and each grabbed one end of the bamboo and howled at the other.

There is no winner in a competition of voices.

Grandma asked them to have a wrestling match according to tribal traditions, and whoever wins will get it.

Not only tiger heads and claws, the men in dispute lifted their skirts one after another, grabbed each other's arms, and clashed with strength and skills. The women's applause stimulated all the wildness flowing in their blood, making them more and more motivated.

It was completely different from last night's dullness. Today, everyone had a full stomach and learned that there was a way to catch fish in the river. They felt particularly happy.

The night is darker and the flames are stronger. The men are fighting together, venting their excess energy in the most primitive and barbaric way. The atmosphere of vigorous hormones fills the entire cave.

Zhang Tian spent two points of faith to exchange for the remaining two files, which are round files and semi-circular files. They are exactly the same set as the previous flat files. There is no longer an option for files among the redeemable resources.

Using ready-made fishhooks and bamboo cages as reference, he taught women how to grind fishhooks and weave bamboo cages.

"What's this?"

Lanhua noticed that Zhang Tian was holding a thin black stick in his hand.

"File, use this to sharpen things faster."

Zhang Tian took a piece of broken bone and placed it on a stone slab, grinding it with a rasp. The tip of the broken bone soon became slender and sharp.

Everyone was eye-opening and amazed, this is much faster than a stone knife!

"How was this done?"

"When I was looking up at the sky, something suddenly fell from the sky. I thought, this must be a gift from the sky."

Zhang Tian gave three files to Orchid, Red Flower and Bamboo Leaf respectively, teaching them how to use modern tools.

[Faith value: 9]

In an instant, 6 people sincerely believed in the power of the sky.

Sure enough, the real thing is more convincing.

The men who competed with each other gradually decided the winner. The winning man beat his chest and howled, showing off his power. Then he boldly picked up his victory and went outside the cave to make a fishing rod.

The defeated man was dejected and returned to the cave dejectedly. Gritting his back molars, he polished the stone axe. He secretly held back his strength, thinking that he might as well not let go of this broken bamboo. When it gets bright tomorrow, he would go to the mountains to pick a better one.

!

Zhang Tian didn't let them wait for so long, so he gave them a very important task in the name of the sky: go outside to collect tree bark, the more the better!

Upon hearing that it was very important, the losers immediately became energetic. They picked up stone axes and vigorously chopped down the trees near the cave, carefully peeling off the bark.

There is no need to work after dark, but at this time it is a busy scene. No matter men and women, old or young, no one wants to rest.

Grandma looked at the busy tribesmen, feeling comforted and secretly relieved.

Although she acted very calm these days and kept comforting the tribesmen with her stories and experiences, she was actually more anxious than anyone else.

The weather was unusually cold, she was vaguely aware of it.

Even the coldest day she had ever experienced, it was not like now. After the hottest period, it suddenly became cold.

The time of harvesting and storing food is skipped.

This was something she had never seen before.

Fortunately, things seem to have been resolved.

She turned to look at the bright night sky.

Perhaps, as God said, all this is the guidance of the ancestors.

She looked at the star closest to the moon. It seemed to be brighter.
