Lu Village and Huahai Village formed an alliance to become the strongest force in the wilderness. The actions of Youyu Village also aroused dissatisfaction from other tribes. Ruoshan gained wider support, so they united various tribes and Youyu Village.
Yucun negotiated. The final result was that Yucun was still responsible for operating the salt wells, but the price became more reasonable.
Maintaining salt wells and maintaining a steady stream of salt production requires the collaborative work of nearly a hundred people. The value of the salt produced by these nearly a hundred people not only includes the value of the property they gain from other work, but also should be exchanged for more. Because this is a skill that is more
The high level of labor is not something everyone can do. It is also necessary to consider that the tools used and worn out in digging salt wells also need to be processed by specialized personnel. Some of them are beyond the ability of ordinary people to make, such as cast and forged metal objects. The cost is difficult to determine.
Measured.
So Ruoshan made a suggestion. If each tribe wants to be responsible for operating the salt wells, they can quote their own prices. If anyone intends to cause trouble and deliberately quotes a low price, then they will have to provide salt to everyone at this price in the next year. In this way, the discussion came to an end
In the end, it would be most beneficial for Youyu Village to operate the salt wells.
It is not easy for Youyu Village to recruit nearly a hundred people on its own. Ruoshan also proposed that each tribe can send people to help, and the reward will be salt. So there are two sources of salt for each tribe. The first is from products.
Exchange, the second is to send people to work in salt wells to get paid. Based on the settlement of this dispute, the various tribes in the wilderness gradually formed a loose alliance that was not close.
The fields in that valley were clearly divided based on spontaneous farming, and the flat land in the center suitable for building houses was shared by all tribes. Gradually, more people began to build houses there, and the tribes lived together, and some people began to
Remove the stones from the ruins of the Qingshui Clan Walled City for your own use.
The Qingshui Clan Walled City gradually disappeared, and a new, larger building complex appeared in the valley, with small fields interspersed in the middle. A new market was formed in the open space between the buildings, and more and more foreign traders arrived here.
Now, the salt needed by each tribe has a third source.
If there were another city wall, this would be the prototype of a city. But all this was just a prototype. In Huwa's childhood, people had just settled the dispute over the salt well, but the changes in the wilderness had begun to appear irreversibly.
Youyu Village has not lost any deserved benefits. In fact, they still enjoy the greatest benefits due to their own advantages. However, the patriarch of Youyu Village and several senior figures in the clan are very dissatisfied. Because during the negotiations on these events
, has always been led by Ruoshan, the patriarch of Lu Village. Lord Shan’s name has spread throughout the tribes in the wilderness, and he is unanimously respected by people. He is already the leader of the tribal alliance. This is the position that the chief of Youyu Village originally sought!
Although dissatisfied and helpless, the senior management of Youyu Village could only tolerate it for the time being.
Huwa didn't know much about this. His childhood was carefree and happy, and he didn't even realize the passage of time. Li Qingshui has been worried about Huwa and paid attention to his cultivation. Unfortunately, the mountain god has already
Without the great supernatural power of Prajna, I could only see his daily behavior but could not secretly sense the changes in his aura, so I couldn't see any clues.
Huwa doesn't have any magical powers, and of course he can't use any magical powers. In the eyes of adults, he is just a very healthy and happy child. Since Qingshui couldn't find any clues, the two masters Ruoshan and Ruoshui didn't find anything either.
.
But Huwa was growing up healthily, which surprised Li Qingshui and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. When the child was five years old, he had already reached the ninth level of the first realm. Logically speaking, he could have entered the second level of cultivation long ago. This would lead to various problems.
This is a hidden danger. However, Huwa has not entered the second realm. He has been cultivating the first realm. If you calculate it this way, how far has he reached the first realm?
The only person in the world who can understand this is Huwa himself, but it is a pity that Huwa has not realized anything yet. If we calculate how many rounds of his first-level cultivation, there are probably ninety-nine and eighty-one rounds, which lasted several years.
However, Huwa has not entered the second realm for a long time. The confused Li Qingshui suddenly figured out something and finally felt relieved.
The reason why Huwa did not enter the second level of cultivation was not because no one taught him, nor was it because he could not reach perfection in the first level of cultivation. The reason was just the simplest reason - he couldn't!
This is a spontaneous and simple cultivation experience that is well-versed in the Dao. The second realm cultivates the organs, muscles and bones. Before the growth and development reaches a certain stage, Huwa will not be able to move in this natural state.
Taking that step is actually a good thing for Huwa, as it avoids Qingshui's biggest worry.
During the long years of sitting, Li Qingshui was also waiting full of curiosity - when can Huwa start to enter the second realm of cultivation? Perhaps it is the transition period from childhood to adolescence, when the perception has fully developed and matured.
Various functions of the body have also entered a stage of rapid growth. Huwa's second-level cultivation should be accompanied by the gradual development and maturity of the body. If this is really the case, it will confirm Li Qingshui's guess and judgment.
Li Qingshui deserves to be the world's top grandmaster, and his guesses and judgments are completely correct. But Li Qingshui still can't figure out one thing. How did Huwa enter the first level of cultivation? This natural state
How did it appear?
In fact, there is a mysterious realm in life that Li Qingshui is not aware of, and Ruoshan and Ruoshui are even less clear. Huwa himself may have a hazy feeling, but he cannot summarize and describe it yet. The first state is also called the first illuminated state, that kind of strange
In fact, everyone has experienced this state, which is the infancy when they just came into this world - the beginning of human beings.
When the fetus is about to leave the mother's body, life has matured and has consciousness. However, it is difficult for the five senses to access information other than the rhythm of life. The entire body is wrapped in amniotic fluid and is in a closed state, and the eyes have not been opened.
At this time, people do not have any distracting thoughts, and the clearest reflection of conscious activities is themselves, just like the internal illumination in the initial state.
When people leave their mothers and are born into this world, but their five senses are not yet fully developed, they often use a very hazy perception to extend their understanding of the world, which is like five senses but not five senses, or it is difficult to clearly say what type of perception it is. This
This kind of perception satisfies the curiosity of babies and brings them some kind of comfort, but it can also disturb them.
When people are born, they all experience the state of first illumination, but they will not leave memories when they grow up. This experience just lurks in the depths of the sea of consciousness. The state of first illumination of babies is a state they are born with and does not
What does magical power mean? If they want to survive in this world, they must open their eyes and open their hands, and then gradually escape from this state.
For example, Huwa's earliest memory was when Shan Ye lit up the lamp, and he did not remember his experience as a baby. However, the reason why people can enter the First Illumination Realm to practice is that they once had it, but they just moved farther and farther in the world.
, it is already difficult to retrieve.
When a person's perception gradually develops and becomes clearer, he or she enters the realm of first illumination due to various opportunities. At this time, it is not only a return to the state of a baby, but also a brand new sublimation, just like water evaporating into water vapor and then condensing into water droplets. This matter
Once your spiritual wisdom has been opened, you can take the initiative to explore, experience, comprehend and practice. This is what monks call the initial state.
Ruoshui let the men over the age of 16 and women over the age of 14 watch her spinning cloth to guide them into the first state. This choice is not wrong. Huwa is a special case. He is naturally awakened or returned.
He entered the state of an infant, but as his perception and understanding of the world grew, he entered the first stage of cultivation. Therefore, after completing the nine turns, he continued to practice the first stage, until he also entered the second stage in a natural process.
This is something that Li Qingshui still doesn't understand. He only knows that Huwa has not reached the first level of cultivation. Of course the tribesmen don't know Huwa's condition, but Huwa has become a child loved by everyone, especially the two villages.
After forming an alliance, he was also welcomed by the people of Huahai Village.
Huwa often went to Huahai Village to see the mountains and rivers. The clan leader Gu Xin told him not to run into the water to play in case of accidents. At the same time, he also asked other tribesmen to take care of the child. Huwa once picked up swan eggs by the flower beach.
According to the rules, it was handed over to Huahai Village for joint distribution. However, every year at the right season, Huwa almost always had swan eggs to eat, and often swan meat. Panhu also benefited a lot from following him.
The swan eggs in Huahai Village are distributed jointly, based on the number picked and the contribution of the tribe. There are more than 300 people in Huahai Village. Of course, not everyone will get a complete egg every time, but the tigers in Lu Village
Wa is an exception. Every time Huahai Village distributes swan eggs, no matter how many, a complete egg will be given to him. This was a promise back then, because the head of Gu Xin told Hu Wa that as long as he promised
In exchange for a rooster in Huahai Village, there will be swan eggs to eat in the future.
Granny Shui asked Huwa in private why she agreed so happily since she already understood the intentions of the people in Huahai Village. Huwa blinked and asked, "If the people in Huahai Village can also raise chickens, the eggs of the people in Lu Village will be better."
Less?"
Granny Shui smiled and said: "Of course not! But in that case, eggs would not be unique to Lucun people. What do you think?"
Huwa answered in a childish voice: "Actually, the eggs in our village are not enough for me to eat, but sometimes I have to take them out to exchange for what I want more. Even if Huahai Village learns to raise chickens, it will be the same.
People in Lucun have learned to raise chickens, which provide meat and eggs. They can save a lot of effort, have more time and energy to do other things, and get more things. The same goes for people in Huacun. In this way, everyone has more things.
, each of us can exchange more things, so why don’t I agree?”
Granny Shui asked curiously: "Is this what you think?"
