I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The dawn of the Pu people: A turning point appears in the tribe

What Wumeng Tianlong handed over was the piece of stone tablet with strange symbols engraved on it that he had found in the cave before.

The old man took the slate, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He stroked the stone slab, his lips moving as if he was muttering something.

Seeing this, the surrounding Pu warriors also held their breath and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.

After a while, the old man raised his head and looked at Wumeng Tianlong with a strange look: "You... know this thing?"

Wumeng Tianlong smiled slightly and was about to explain, but Zhaoyang Ruyue spoke first and said, "We are here to help you."

"Help us?" the old man repeated, his tone full of doubt. "What can you outsiders do to help us?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong spoke to the old man and explained the purpose of their trip - to explore the origin of the Pu people and help them better understand their own history.

The old man's name was Elder Feng. After hearing this, his expression did not ease at all, but became even gloomier.

"Ridiculous!" Elder Feng threw the stone slab to the ground. "How can we allow outsiders like you to casually comment on the history of our Pu tribe? You are blaspheming the gods!"

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the surrounding Pu warriors raised their weapons one after another, and a conflict was about to break out.

Zheng Xiongxiong stepped forward, blocking Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong, and said in a muffled voice, "Elder Feng, we have no ill intentions. We just want to..."

"Shut up!" Elder Feng interrupted him harshly, "You outsiders, don't even think about trying to seduce our tribe!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and felt extremely frustrated.

Are their efforts going to be in vain?

At this moment, a young voice came from the crowd: "I believe them!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strong young Pu warrior standing out. It was Chen Yongshi who had led them before.

He walked up to Elder Feng and said firmly, "Elder, they didn't hurt us, and what they said about our ancestors makes sense to me!"

"Chen Yong! You..." Elder Feng was so angry that his beard stood up, "You actually believe these outsiders' nonsense?"

Chen Yong looked him in the eye without fear: "Elder, we cannot stand still. We need to understand our past so that we can better move towards the future!"

Chen Yong's words resonated with some young Pu clan members around him, and they all stood up to express their support for Zhaoyang Ruyue and others.

Seeing this scene, Elder Feng's face turned ashen... He suddenly raised his crutch and pointed at Chen Yongshi...

Elder Feng was so angry that his beard was about to fly up, and he slammed his crutch heavily on the ground, making a dull "dong" sound.

"You little bastard, you've grown wings, haven't you? You dare to question me? I've eaten more salt than you've walked!"

Chen Yongshi stiffened his neck and refused to budge. "Elder, times have changed! The things passed down by our ancestors are certainly important, but they can't remain unchanged! We must keep pace with the times to achieve a well-off society!"

"Xiao...Xiaokang? What's 'Kang'? What nonsense are you talking about?" Elder Feng was completely confused and felt as if there was a dimensional wall between him and the young man.

The young Pu tribe members around also echoed: "Yes, elder, we support Chen Yongshi!" "We also want to know about our past!" For a moment, the scene was as lively as a vegetable market.

At this time, Wei Wuzhe, a light-footed girl, walked up to Zhaoyang Ruyue and gently took her hand. Her clear eyes were full of sincerity: "I believe you, you are not a bad person."

Zhaoyang Ruyue felt warm in her heart and shook Wei Wuzhe's hand back, feeling the kindness from the strange tribe.

It seems that this generation of young people still has great hope!

Priest Zheng, who had remained silent the entire time, saw all of this.

He slowly walked to the center of the crowd, his eyes deep... and stretched out his hand to stop Elder Feng and Chen Yongshi who wanted to continue arguing.

"Everyone, be quiet." He paused and said slowly, "I..."

Priest Zheng slowly said, "I have been observing you for a long time." His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made Zhaoyang Ruyue and others feel uneasy.

"It's good for young people to be enthusiastic, but they also need to respect tradition." He paused, his eyes sweeping over Chen Yongshi before turning to Zhaoyang Ruyue. "I'm willing to give you a chance to prove your worth."

Elder Feng was immediately anxious when he heard this: "Master Priest, how can this be possible! What if they..."

"Elder, please be patient," Priest Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him, "Young people should be given some opportunities to make mistakes, right?" A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and this smile made Elder Feng even more uneasy.

What is this old fox up to?

Priest Zheng turned to Zhaoyang Ruyue and spoke in a serious tone. "It's good that you wish to learn about the origins of the Pu people. But first, you must demonstrate your respect for their culture." He looked around at the group and announced loudly, "I will give you a test. If you can pass it, I will allow you to remain and continue your exploration."

"What test?" Chen Yongshi asked excitedly, almost jumping up.

Priest Zheng smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. Within one day, remember the sacrificial ritual process of our Pu tribe."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The Pu people's sacrificial rituals are extremely complicated and include various ancient spells, dances and ritual movements. It is impossible to fully master them without several years of effort.

Remember it in one day?

This is harder than climbing to the sky!

Elder Feng stroked his beard, a hint of pride appearing on his face.

Now, let’s see how you young people can jump around!

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This test is indeed a bit tricky!

Dancer Wei looked at Zhaoyang Ruyue worriedly and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes: "This...this is too difficult, right?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue took a deep breath and gave Wei Wuzhe a firm look: "Don't worry, we can do it!" Although she said this, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

This is simply the start of hell mode!

As the sun gradually sets and time passes by, the pressure comes like a mountain pressing down on my head.

If they fail, all their efforts will be wasted, they will be expelled from the tribe, and will never be able to explore the origin of the Pu people again.

At this moment, a confident arc suddenly appeared at the corner of Wumeng Tianlong's mouth.

He leaned close to Zhaoyang Ruyue's ear and whispered, "I have an idea..."

Wumeng Tianlong came close to Zhaoyang Ruyue's ear mysteriously and said in a low voice: "The hermit has a clever idea! Let's try the Tian Ji horse racing method!" Zhaoyang Ruyue was confused: "What? What does this have to do with horse racing?" Wumeng Tianlong chuckled: "You see, although this sacrificial ceremony is complicated, there are always important and less important parts, right? Let's focus on the parts that the priests and elders value most. The others... ahem, just knowing a little bit will be enough!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what he meant.

He is worthy of being her best partner, he has such a flexible mind!

So the three of them quickly divided the work, Wumeng Tianlong was responsible for the sacrificial spells, Zhaoyang Ruyue was responsible for the dance movements, and Zheng Xiongxiong was responsible for recording the ceremony process and the placement of props.

Dancer Wei also secretly revealed some tips to them, such as which movements are key, which spells are core, which areas the elders are most likely to find fault with, etc.

What a great helper!

With clear goals and insider information, learning efficiency has increased by more than one level.

The three of them turned on their academic master mode, trying their best to memorize things, and they even wanted to save time to drink water.

Time flies, the sun sets, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the test.

Priest Zheng sat in the center of the altar with a sharp gaze, while Elder Feng stood aside with a look of amazement on his face.

The other tribesmen also gathered around, talking about it, and they all felt that these three outsiders were bound to "cause trouble."

The test begins!

The three of them took the stage one after another. Although there were some minor pauses, they completed the performance quite smoothly overall. Especially the key parts were performed perfectly, which made Elder Feng blink his eyes.

This...how is this possible?

!

A glimmer of approval flashed in Priest Zheng's eyes. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Not bad, not bad! Young people really have potential!" Elder Feng's face turned pale. He wanted to say something but couldn't, so he could only stare blankly.

Just when everyone thought the test was over, Priest Zheng suddenly changed the subject: "But..." He dragged out his words and gave Wumeng Tianlong a meaningful look, "There's still one thing I don't understand."
