In the Blade

The Yin people are an even older ethnic group than the Chu people.

The specific age of the Yin people cannot be determined today. After all, the information about the Yin people that can be handed down is too little and too little, and basically all of it is distorted - but at least one part is recognized by later generations. That is the Yin people extremely worship ghosts and gods.

And this kind of worship is not that kind of worship, just like the Chu people of later generations worshiped the immortal fire phoenix. Although this can be called worship, it is still far from the Yin people's worship of ghosts and gods. The legendary ghosts and gods have penetrated into almost every aspect of the Yin people, and can even be called the Yin people's life itself.

"It's like we all know that if we are marching and fighting, we should at least unite our troops, right?"

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still seemed a little confused about the difference between the two, Gray Black Fire Phoenix simply opened his mouth to explain.

"Of course, we Chu people don't have any kind of military formation, but a strong general must be proficient in martial arts... Anyway, we must use fighting methods to fight. Can you understand this?"

"able."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

It's not like he hasn't experienced the Chu people's fighting methods, so he can understand it - after all, whether it's the formation of troops by mortals or the strengthening of one's own force by extraordinary beings, these are indeed things related to fighting.

In other words, there is going to be a war. If we don’t prepare things related to the war, what else can we prepare?

"Yin people are not prepared for this."

The expression of the gray and black fire phoenix is ​​a bit subtle.

"If you are from Yin, they will prepare for divination."

"……ah?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned.

He has never heard of such a method of fighting. He does not assemble the army or prepare for war between battles, but instead goes to tell fortunes first?

Is this a bit too much of a performance art? Is this really a way of thinking that people can have?

"I thought it was outrageous when I first heard about it, but they really did it."

Recalling the information about the Yin people, the gray-black Fire Phoenix's expression became more and more subtle.

"The existing records about the Yin people mainly come from the divination records left behind. The Yin people will use the shells of spirit turtles for divination, and have a complete set of related rituals, and this spirit turtle..."

"Stop talking about turtles, talk about something else."

Du Chengfeng immediately started to have a headache. Now he couldn't even listen to the story of the tree and the turtle.

There were too many, he had tasted too many.

"Okay, okay, don't do anything, I'll say something else."

Seeing Du Chengfeng raise the phantom sword, the gray and black fire phoenix quickly changed the topic.

In fact, there is nothing else to say. After all, there is too little information about the existence of the Yin people. In addition, most people these days have no interest in archaeology, and not many people know about the Yin people. Just like The gray-black fire phoenix itself knew for the first time that the Chu people's belief in the immortal fire phoenix actually originated from the Yin people of the past. In fact, it was probably the first Chu person to know about it.

However, the ultimate direction of this belief that the Chu people had persisted in for who knows how many years was just to become roast chicken on the tables of the Yin people.

This is really...

"Oh right."

Thinking of this, the gray-black Fire Phoenix suddenly raised its head.

"There is indeed another important information about the Yin people."

"oh?"

Du Chengfeng became interested.

"How do you say it? What kind of news is it?"

"This is quite popular..."

The gray-black fire phoenix recalled it for a moment, and then continued.

"That's the story of the wine pond and meat forest."

That is a story about the last king of the Yin people. According to legend, the cruel king was extravagant. He not only built palaces and filled the harem, but also built outrageous things like wine pools and meat forests for his own luxury enjoyment - and it was spread in later generations. In the novel, "wine pool and meat forest" has also become a curse word, specifically used to ridicule the king's luxurious enjoyment, and even insinuate that he is like a king who has subjugated his country.

This matter is widely circulated, and it is one of the few things about the Yin people that everyone knows. He was just thinking about the secret information, and almost forgot about it.

But there seems to be no need to mention this kind of thing, right?

After all, it’s useless…

"No, it's very useful."

Du Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed.

If he had heard the story about the wine pool and the meat forest before, he might have just sighed that no matter where he went, the way everyone enjoyed themselves seemed to have remained the same - but now, he suddenly remembered that he had been with the man who called himself "Yin people" before. When the bronze yue knife sheath comes close.

At that time, he heard that the bronze yue saber wanted to enjoy it, and even explicitly said that he wanted wine and meat, so he deliberately said that he knew where the good wine was.

But the Yin man said something incomprehensible.

"Brother, I can tell at a glance. Didn't you get this knife with wine?"

He still remembered what the bronze yue saber who claimed to be from Yin said at that time.

Du Chengfeng originally thought that this was just the sharp eyesight of the bronze yue sword. It could be seen at a glance that his sword had been enshrined in wine and even soaked in a wine vat.

But now that I think about it...that sentence may have other meanings.

"In the culture of the Yin people, they would use wine to worship weapons."

At this moment, Du Chengfeng felt as if he had touched some kind of truth.

Yes, wine can be used to offer weapons. He had already experienced the benefits of it in Yangjiabao. After he went to Yanzhou, Liu Bolun's secret brewing of private wine had a wonderful power to suppress the evil spirit of swords and weapons - obviously, there is a special connection between the evil spirit of swords and weapons and wine.

And the bronze axe wanted wine and even kept asking him where to get some wine, obviously for this reason.

Wine can restore the strength of the bronze axe, and even double its strength.

However, the bronze axe is pursuing more than just wine.

"And meat..."

Du Chengfeng's face darkened.

According to the gray-black fire phoenix, the last monarch of the Yin people once built a wine pool and meat forest at the end of the dynasty - based on the information he now has, this is obviously not for enjoyment. Wine can amplify the evil spirit of swords and weapons, which means that the wine pool is obviously prepared for war.

So, what about meat?

The meat in the Yin people's mouth was obviously not the meat he understood before. You know, he had heard clearly before that the bronze axe called the Li family's eldest son, who was possessed by it, a "meat man".

Obviously, this should be the "meat" in the context of the Yin people, that is, the "meat" in the meat forest, which is parallel to the wine pool and is also part of the war reserve materials.

"Wine and meat..."

Du Chengfeng vaguely thought of something.

The second update is here, I'm going to take a nap, good night everyone.
