Shixiong's simple, simple and direct words greatly shocked the hearts of the female tribesmen such as Flame Red Silkworm.
The fire snake screamed:
"Aren't you born of women?
Didn’t you grow up drinking your mother’s milk?
Without women, the human race would have no offspring and the race would become extinct.
Women have always been in power in tribes. This is not only respect for the childbearers, but also a right given by the laws of nature.
The birth and continuation of life are inseparable from women, so why do you want to change the rules?"
Feng Jiushu slowly straightened up. He was over one foot and four feet tall, more than two feet taller than the strongest stone bear.
Although he was skinny and skinny due to years of torture, his skinny frame looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
When he stretched his body and sat up straight, knowing that he would not do anything in front of everyone, Yanhong Can and others couldn't help but be on guard.
Feng Jiushu lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Ke, then turned to stare at the fire snake and said:
"Women are indeed great. They give birth to children for us and enable the tribe to be passed down from generation to generation.
This is the main reason why the human race can continue to this day despite natural disasters, earthquakes, monsters, wild beasts and other attacks. No one can erase the contributions that women have made to the human race.
Moreover, women are very thoughtful and meticulous in managing the daily life of the clan members. When they return home, they can soothe the fatigue and restlessness of the male clan members.
but……"
Feng Jiushu no longer looked at the fire snake, but faced the flame red silkworm and said:
"I heard that this world will face a war that will last four hundred years. Then, female tribesmen are not suitable to continue to manage the tribe."
The flame red silkworm narrowed his eyes, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes, obviously he was really angry.
She also had the intention of inheriting the tribe to Shan Qiao. After all, Shan Qiao was very popular with layman Ruyi.
As the patriarch, he will undoubtedly get more help from the Ruyi layman.
But there is one sentence that is right.
If you want, you can!
However, I can give it to you, but you can't steal it.
It's like dating and rape, one is actively catering to it, while the other is passively tolerated.
Even if it is the same person and the same thing, the feeling is completely different.
The fire snake asked:
"Feng Jiushu, you have said that women play a vital role in the tribe, so why are women not suitable to continue to manage the tribe?"
Feng Li frowned slightly.
Fire Snake was obviously affected by Feng Jiushu's words. He fell into Feng Jiushu's rhythm when he spoke, and followed his words and asked what was the use.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Feng Jiushu already speaking:
"Since we are facing a war that will last for dozens of generations, if we want to survive in such a cruel war, we need to have a sufficient understanding of war.
But……"
He looked at the fire snake and said word by word:
"As far as I know, the hunting leader of the Xiawan tribe is Shi Xiong, and among the tribesmen he leads, there are nine male tribesmen.
The vast majority of women have basically stayed away from hunting. If there is a war, how are they prepared to fight?"
"this……"
The fire snake couldn't help but was speechless and unable to refute.
Just listen to Feng Jiushu continue:
"Moreover, once a woman becomes pregnant, she will be weak for several months. What should we do if we encounter a war at this time?
Should we let the female clansman fight with a pregnant belly or let her carry her child on her back to fight?"
"Well...we can also not have...not have children..."
Fire Snake reluctantly argued, but she didn't even have the confidence to say it herself.
Feng Jiushu ignored the fire snake and continued:
“The strength, speed and strength of female tribesmen are generally weaker than those of male tribesmen.
In nature, strong and ferocious leaders have always been leaders. Why?
Because even animals know that when faced with danger, the more ferocious the leader, the greater the chance of victory for the group.
Having a gentle temperament is a good thing when there is no war, but if there is really a war, are thousands of tribesmen allowed to fight under the command of female tribesmen who have no war or combat experience?
If it were you, would you trust such a leader?"
Every word Feng Jiushu spoke was like a merciless hand peeling off the clothes of the many female tribesmen present layer by layer, making them feel humiliated and helpless.
But they couldn't refute Feng Jiu Shu's words because what he said was true.
Just as Flame Red Silkworm and other female tribesmen fell into silence, a low voice came from the mouth of the mountain cliff nearby.
"Don't think I don't understand, how can a woman give birth to a child without a man!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, everyone present, both men and women, stared at him with wide eyes.
Shan Qiao hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.
Zhang Ke couldn't help but laugh "haha".
After all, he is still a child and has too little experience in dealing with things.
Feng Jiushu didn't know about this kind of thing, but he wouldn't say it out loud, because even if he did say it out, it would just be an argument, and besides, how could Yan Hongcan and the others not understand the truth behind it.
Zhang Ke picked up the tea cup and took a sip and put it down.
"The patriarch is the core of a tribe. What is needed is ability and strength, and it has nothing to do with gender."
Zhang Ke first characterized the matter, and then said:
"Shan Qiao asked before whether the 'surname' should follow the father's or mother's line. In my opinion, there is no point in discussing this now."
In fact, this is crucial to the development of human civilization, which will lead to a matriarchal society gradually turning into a patriarchal society, and men will gradually dominate the tribe.
After men take over the power, the 'surname' will naturally belong to the patrilineal line.
This is the general trend and the inevitable development of history, which is basically irreversible. Therefore, Zhang Ke is not prepared to work hard to solve it and just let everything take its course.
Then he said:
"Of course you can also give the surname of your offspring the surnames of both parents.
but……"
Zhang Ke looked at the steep mountain with a smile.
"I wonder if you have ever thought about one thing. After your descendants have been passed down for more than ten generations, how long will they say when they introduce themselves to others?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing this, both Feng Jiushu and Flame Red Silkworm were slightly stunned at first, and then only thought about it briefly in their minds.
'My surname is Shanhe Tiandi Shuihuo...'
Just thinking about it makes them laugh out loud.
Flame Red Silkworm, Feng Jiushu and others glanced at each other without revealing any trace, and they all saw a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes.
In fact, they don't have such thoughts in their hearts.
Shan Qiao scratched his head in embarrassment, looked down at Zhang Ke, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, layman, you just said your surname is Zhang. Where did this 'surname' come from?"
Flame Red Silkworm frowned and shouted:
“The mountains are steep, so don’t be rude!”
Zhang Ke waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. Since you're curious, I'll tell you briefly."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ke said:
"The origin of my surname Zhang can be traced back to ancient times. The ancestor of the Zhang family was originally the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. His real name was Ji Hui and his nickname was Tianlu.
Huizu invented a weapon that was extremely important for survival and war, called the 'bow and arrow'.
This is a powerful long-range weapon that allows tribesmen to kill wild beasts and opponents before they get close.
Because the birth of the "gong and arrow" had a huge impact on society, the Yellow Emperor granted Hui Zu the title of Gongzheng and was responsible for making bows and arrows.
Later, he took the meaning of bow leader and gave him the surname "Zhang", and granted him the land of Qinghe.
The original meaning of Zhang is "stringing the bow", which is extended to draw the bow, string it, catch it, and stretch it. At the same time, 'Zhang' is also the name of a star, which belongs to the fifth of the seven constellations of the Suzaku. The arrangement of the celestial phenomena is shaped like a bow."
Flame Red Silkworm, Shan Qiao and others could not help but listen in rapt attention. At this moment, they finally understood what the continuation of civilization and bloodline was.
Just one surname can be traced back to ancient times, and a heavy sense of historical sedimentation comes over you.
Shan Qiao listened with a sense of relaxation and confusion. After a long while, he said:
"Laity! What is a 'bow and arrow'?"
In fact, regarding this point, Shi Xiong and Feng Jiushu intentionally asked about it when Zhang Ke mentioned it.
As hunters, they naturally have keen reactions to weapons.
But since Zhang Ke said this was a powerful long-range weapon, it would be inappropriate to speak directly.
On the contrary, it would be more appropriate for Shan Qiao, who was younger and loved by Zhang Ke, to inquire.
Zhang Ke watched coldly and found that only after Shan Qiao proposed it, did the female tribesmen such as Yanhong Silkworm realize that he had proposed a unique weapon concept. They all looked expectantly and couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
It seems that when it comes to combat, women’s sense of touch is really not as keen as men’s!
Zhang Ke stretched out his left hand, revealing five slender fingers.
"look here!"
Everyone present looked at Zhang Ke's outstretched palm, and saw Zhang Ke rub the two fingers of his thumb together and snap his fingers.
"Pa~~!"
A dazzling white-gold light exploded in front of everyone's eyes instantly.
Just like looking directly at the scorching sun in the sky during the day, golden light shone in front of everyone's eyes, and they all instinctively closed their eyes.
When he reacted and quickly opened his eyes, he suddenly found that he and others had arrived on an empty and flat grassland.
The sun hung high above my head, the grass was luxuriant under my feet, and there was no wind or sound all around. It was very quiet.
Everyone's hearts instantly lifted.
"Don't worry too much, this is an illusion I created and it won't cause any harm to you, otherwise I might not be able to bring you in.
If you want to leave, just do whatever you want."
Zhang Ke's voice rang in everyone's ears.
Looking around, I saw Zhang Ke standing next to more than 20 people, but at this time he was the same size as himself and others.
Before anyone could ask, Zhang Ke continued:
"In the many wars in the ancient times in the realm where I was born, as an individual projectile weapon, the 'bow' was the first of various weapons used in the war.
A general bow is composed of several parts such as the bow tip, bow arm, bow string, bow handle, and string pad.
The bow tip mainly plays the role of hooking the bow string, and is mostly made of hardwood and animal horns.
The bow arm is the most important energy storage structure of the bow. It accumulates power through the tension generated by the bow string.
The bowstring is an important component in stimulating power to complete the launch of the weapon.
The bow grip is the place where the user's hand holds the bow. Its function is to provide support. This part is usually the strongest part of the entire bow.
The string pad is mainly used to reduce the vibration of the bow string when firing, making the bow more accurate, and also protects the bow string."
Zhang Ke said as he opened his left hand outward.
With his words, several parts of the 'bow' quickly materialized in his hands.
By the time he finished speaking, he was holding an extremely simple bow in his left hand.
“To have a ‘bow’, you also need a ‘arrow’. This ‘arrow’ is also called an ‘arrow’ and must be used in conjunction with the ‘bow’.
In addition, there must be something like this.”
A black horn wrench appeared on Zhang Ke's right thumb.
"Strong strength is required to draw a bow. In order to protect the fingers from injury, a wrench is usually attached to the wood of the bow-drawing hand to protect the fingers."
At the same time, another quiver filled with twenty arrows appeared in front of everyone.
Zhang Ke placed the quiver diagonally across his back, revealing clusters of white feathers on his right shoulder.
"When shooting archery, you can follow your own habits. Generally, you hold the bow in your hand and control the string with your off-hand. Of course, if you have a pair of skillful hands, you can also shoot the bow from left to right."
As Zhang Ke spoke, the two index fingers of his right hand reached behind his shoulder and pulled out an arrow.
With two fingers, the arrow rotated twice to form a horizontal position in the palm of the hand.
"This is the arrow, and the main damage to the target comes from it.
Arrows are composed of arrowheads, arrow shafts, and arrow feathers. After countless years of practice and research and development by humans in war, there are now as many as ninety-eight types of arrows."
After a brief introduction, Zhang Ke turned his fingers and placed the arrow on the bowstring of his left hand.
Raise your left hand to face the front, clasp the string with your right thumb and slowly pull it apart.
At the same time, a row of circular grass targets appeared out of thin air on the grass seventy feet ahead.
Shi Xiong, Feng Jiushu and others held their breath and watched Zhang Ke's movements with concentration.
I saw him pulling the bow to the full moon and loosening his right thumb.
"Whoosh——!"
A white line flew out at lightning speed.
"puff!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The center of a grass target seventy feet away was penetrated by a white line.
"Ss—!"
As Shi Xiong and others who have been fighting against monsters and wild beasts all year round, they immediately understood the power of a weapon like the 'bow'.
This is much more powerful than the throwing spears used by myself and others.
Before several people could speak with trembling thoughts, they saw Zhang Ke holding the bow in his left hand without moving, while his right hand steadily and quickly reached out to draw arrows and shoot out.
White lines connected end to end and flew through the air.
"Puff puff......"
One after another, the straw targets were shot through with a continuous sound.
The shock in the hearts of Shi Xiong and others was like countless boulders falling heavily into the water, causing countless waves.
This is the crushing of civilization!
Just one weapon can end an era!
Zhang Ke looked at the stunned people and smiled softly.
"The range of the 'bow' can be adjusted according to the strength of the archer. The stronger the archer, the faster the bow and arrow, the farther the range, and the greater the power.
This seventy feet is just a target I set based on the draw weight of the bow in my hand.
The humans in this world are powerful and can make bows and arrows with stronger drawing power.
Well, I guess five hundred feet will be no problem."
If in Zhang Ke's dream, someone said that he could shoot an arrow 1,500 meters without any equipment, he would be sprayed by countless people until he lost himself.
But this is the 'Mountain and Sea Realm', where the human race has a strong body and strength, and it is also a place where magical powers and magic are manifested.
Five hundred feet is what Zhang Ke said conservatively.
After everyone in front of them came to their senses, Zhang Ke thought, and everyone quickly increased in height, becoming the same height as outside the illusion.
Zhang Ke waved his left hand, and the 'bow' in his hand became the same as his height in an instant.
In the dream, only English longbowmen can use giant longbows equal to their height, and their power is self-evident.
He handed the big bow in his hand to the fire snake.
As early as when Zhang Ke came to this world and met everyone for the first time, the weapons used by the Fire Snake were wooden javelins. Obviously she was better at long-range attacks.
Then he took off the quiver from his back and handed it to the fire snake. At this time, the quiver was filled with arrows again.
Fire Snake excitedly took over the long bow, and imitated Zhang Ke's action just now and put the quiver on his back.
Zhang Ke glanced at a few people and said to Shan Qiao:
"Shan Qiao, you charge here from five hundred feet away!"
Shan Qiao responded loudly without any hesitation.
