I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 235 The gathering place of Nanqi people

Jiang Wen sat on the stone and turned over the animal skin roll in his hand. After adding dozens of new animal skins, the thickness of the leather roll was already close to his arm.There are only hundreds of species of animals, plants and animals, but it is already so thick. What will happen next?He was a little worried.

It's not difficult to talk about papermaking, but he doesn't remember how to make it.I just know that paper needs wood pulp, but how to get it is a problem.He tried this many times but failed.In the end, I could only rely on animal skins to record things.

Xue sat next to him and looked at the animal skin roll in his hand curiously.Since coming out, Xue basically wouldn't leave his side except sleeping.This time I met another group of Nanqi people who were fleeing. I heard from them that since the battle of the old land two years ago, Nanqi has been conquered by foreign tribes in large areas, and many places are now in trouble.

They are Nanqi people who moved from their old place of residence to a new place in order to find a new place to live.Following this group of people, Jiang Wen and others also arrived at a new settlement of the Nanqi people.

The residence here is surrounded by thorns and wood, and no wild beasts dare to set foot there if there are too many people.But even in the gathering place of this ethnic group, wild beasts would tear at the wooden doors from time to time, and they were eventually discovered and driven out.

This new gathering place has begun to look like a small village. People in Nanqi wield various farm tools and iron tools and wear woven fabrics to work in the fields.As for the group of Nanqi people who had taken refuge, many of them were now rosy-cheeked and in high spirits compared to how they looked when they first saw them.They live at the foot of a hillside, only a small slope away from Jiang Wen's current residence.The originally crude cabin has been repaired and made flat and strong.

Working people came and went, storing the food they gathered and the prey they hunted in the caves.The Nanqi people discovered a long time ago that cool and ventilated caves are a good place to store food. They learned to use the air-drying method to dry some easily preserved food and hang it on the roof of the cave to prevent wild animals from entering the cave to steal food.They will collect some rattan and weave rattan nets to fish in the river, and use bamboo-like plants to weave bamboo baskets to hold fruits and the like.The people of Nanqi used limited iron equipment to cut down trees, and their forging industry seemed to be much more developed than Taicang.

Perhaps they took a different path. The vast river next to their settlement was the birthplace of the Nanqi people.The bottom of the river is so cold to the bone but the surface is turbulent. However, the Nanqi people took advantage of the unique nature of this river and used rattan to tie up the iron stones and throw them to the bottom of the river, allowing them to withstand the coldness of the bottom of the river and then pull them up and beat them with fire.This material was easy to work with the mixture of ice and fire, but was extremely hard. They called this metal refined iron.

In this era when bronze ware was not yet commonplace, the Nanqi people who owned iron ware were simply cheating.

If their other side was not restricted and their own strength was not strong enough, perhaps the Nanqi people would not just stay in this world.

Jiang Wen also wanted to try refining weapons, but unfortunately the temperature of the fire he was using was not up to standard. If he hadn't had the ability to refine weapons with Samadhi True Fire, it would have been a pipe dream to make a flying sword.

The development of forging technology has brought many changes to the Nanqi people, shortening the journey that they originally took for millions of years.Nanqi people realized that tools bring convenience to life, and they used their abilities to produce many things that Jiang Wen had not thought of.

In order to facilitate communication, Jiang Wen used magic to learn the Nanqi language, which was similar to the official language of Daqian.It was easy to learn, but it only took him a few days to master it.But his goal was not to settle in this village. His purpose of coming here was to be an envoy to Nanqi, not to stay in a peaceful place.

But now that the Nanqi people's royal capital has been invaded, all forces are scattered, and it is not easy to find their royal family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen looked at Xue beside him.

Xue saw Jiang Wen smiling at her and couldn't help but look at him curiously.He didn't understand why Jiang Wen was happy, so he started laughing too.

"Xue, come here." Jiang Wen waved to her.

Snow squeezed next to him and looked at him confused.

"We are on a mission to Nanqi this time. You also need to learn the language of the Nanqi people. Are you willing to learn it with me?"

"Yes." Xue nodded. "Okay, then I will teach you Nanqi language in the next few days, and you will also teach Xiu Qi by the way." Jiang Wen said with a smile.

"Master, don't worry." Xue nodded confidently.

Jiang Wen quickly got into the mood and wrote the pinyin on the animal skin.The language of the Nanqi people can be summarized in just a few dozen letters.

During this period of time, Jiang Wen taught Xue how to recognize Chinese characters while exploring the conditions of the land in Nanqi. By the way, he also perfected the application of life fire cultivation methods.

I don't know if it was because of Huang Tingjing, but he could feel a mysterious force guiding him, making him feel like he was clearing away the clouds and seeing the blue sky every time he entered confusion.

The residence can no longer be called a gathering place. There are huts covered with grass and trees built up and down the hillside, forming a simple town around the residence in the center of the village.

A few Nanqi people who were lost or separated from their group came here, and everyone would enthusiastically build wooden houses for them, teach them how to fish, and make tools.

Foreign people were attracted by the rich food and comfortable life of the tribe, and they settled here to learn from the tribe's orderly life.Although there were a few short-sighted people who wanted to challenge the leader's position, they became completely honest after being thrown into the river by their heads.

Viewed from a high place, the original small residence of dozens of people now has over a hundred people, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner without any clutter.The wooden fence that originally surrounded the residence has been expanded a lot to the outside. The hunters keep the prey caught alive in the wooden fence to provide them with food.

They cut down trees from the edge of the forest to build, and transported fruits back to the village from all directions. The original team of several people has expanded to dozens of people.Every evening at dusk, people at home take their children to welcome the return of the hunting team.

Children look forward to their relatives bringing back some new things from the forest, such as cute animals and delicious fruits.The adults are looking forward to the most sumptuous dinner of the day, the fragrant barbecue and the bonfire party with joyful dancing.

Compared to the Taican people, the Nanqi people may be closer to the people Jiang Wen knows.

Jiang Wen saw that the female leader's reputation in the village was getting higher and higher. He felt that the gathering place, which was now like a town, should have a common name, so that people from different regions could live in harmony.

After all, looking at the size of the village, it is not too small.

As the leader's savior, Jiang Wen's place of residence has always been very good.Even if you don't go hunting every day, someone will offer you meat.

Jiang Wen expressed his gratitude and taught them some kung fu.

When he had almost explored the surrounding environment, the leader came to the house again. This time she brought information about the Nanqi royal family.
