Chapter 434 Friend, My Name is Ladi
When Bai Tian came to his senses again, he found that there was no one around, not even Su Ling.
After releasing his spiritual sense, he soon sensed that Su Ling was in a tribe in front, playing with a group of children.
He felt a little confused during the day, and he felt himself lost in thought for a while, why did it seem like an eternity had passed?
After sneaking into the tribe, Bai Tian was surprised to find Su Ling communicating with a group of children in the tribe's language. It seemed that she was teaching them how to practice.
Suling saw Bai Tian, but she continued talking to the children, looking like a teacher.
After a while, Su Ling came over and pouted: "I thought you would have to wait a few more years, but I didn't expect you to wake up in two months."
Bai Tian was shocked: "I've been standing there for two months?"
"Almost three months!" Su Ling rolled her eyes. "He just stood there every day, scaring everyone in the tribe."
Bai Tian smiled bitterly. He clearly felt like he was lost in thought for a while, so how come almost three months had passed?
Bai Tian asked, "Su Ling, are you teaching them how to practice?"
"That's right." Su Ling nodded. "They are still practicing the original version of the Taichu Law, which is incomplete. Although I don't quite remember what the final version of the Taichu Law is, I know where the loopholes are."
"Oh, I'll continue teaching them first. We'll go find the chief later... Hey, the chief is here, you can talk to him."
Bai Tian turned his head and saw the middle-aged man coming over.
The Meng clan leader hurried over and said happily, "You're awake? You're amazing. You've been standing there motionless, yet you're still so powerful. You people from Jiuzhou are amazing."
Bai Tian smiled softly, "Chief, not everyone can be like me. By the way, Chief, can you tell me in detail about the issue you were arguing about earlier?"
Chief Meng nodded: "Of course, Su Ling told us recently that you are also discussing the issue of your ancestors..."
Then, Chief Meng took Bai Tian to the center of the tribe, patiently explaining their debate about the origins of their ancestors.
The Cloud Tribe and the Dream Tribe argued for many years, and because of this issue, their one large tribe was reduced to two tribes.
The seemingly insignificant issue actually concerns the direction of the two tribes and many ideological issues.
In fact, during the day, you can tell that what they are arguing about is not just who their ancestors are, but also about the tribal values and the direction of the tribe.
The Cloud Tribe advocates that humans come from the sea, so their management system is more inclined towards "freedom". They believe that humans are like fish and can better cultivate when they are free.
The Dream Tribe advocates that humans are born from fireflies, just like wild beasts. Wild beasts are more ferocious and cruel, so to restrain them requires ruthless methods and systems, and cultivation requires even greater ruthlessness.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a conflict between two concepts, and seeking roots is just a superficial issue.
Bai Tian was surprised by this debate. He had never imagined that people in the far east had already begun exploring this issue.
Their philosophy is very primitive. They want to trace where their ancestors came from, and then use this to judge their own system and cultivation direction.
But it is this primitiveness that can most directly analyze the origin of cultivation...
After a period of time, Bai Tian and Su Ling stayed in the Meng Tribe temporarily, and occasionally he also went to the Yun Tribe opposite.
In order to be able to access information from both tribes, he taught in the Cloud Tribe during the day, while Suling taught in the Dream Tribe.
After a long period of study, Bai Tian learned the languages of the two tribes and could understand their writing.
Bai Tian was surprised to find that the dispute between the two tribes was not groundless.
According to records from their tribal ancestors, they do have a close relationship with fish and fireflies, but not with humans.
Of course, Bai Tian also had strong doubts that their ancestors were just making random records.
But the records of their ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no family tree, which is particularly detailed about how they came about.
Even during the day, they witnessed many unexpected events. For example, their ancestors recorded that when the sun darkened, fireflies became angry and many people died. This probably refers to a total solar eclipse that killed many people.
Even though it might only be a few hundred years old, Bai Tian was truly moved by this spirit of searching for one's origins.
The development of human civilization is truly mysterious. Some are exploring how to live, some are exploring where they came from, and some are exploring where they are going...
These two tribes are actually very interesting. They have the same origin, but they split because of different ideas, and at the same time they have always maintained a competitive relationship with each other.
Bai Tian even suspected that their ancestors deliberately let them argue like this, so that the two tribes would always be motivated to make progress...
One day, the two tribes began to gather again to argue about the origin of their ancestors.
The two sides argued fiercely, their faces red and ears flushed, and they almost came to blows.
Bai Tian really felt that their argument was very interesting and gave him a lot of ideas.
The two sides were arguing fiercely when a young man from the Cloud Tribe suddenly stepped onto the stage and shouted, "Stop arguing! I've found where our ancestors came from!"
The crowd instantly fell silent, all eyes fixed on the young man, even during the day.
The young man's expression was tense. "I think that if we want to know where our ancestors came from, we must first know who we are."
"Who am I? I think I am who I am..."
Before the young man could say anything more, a group of people started to make a noise of dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
"Yes, how can we exist without our ancestors? We must first know who our ancestors are, and then we can know who we are..."
The young man was a little anxious, but his voice was drowned out by the crowd.
Bai Tian stared at the young man and couldn't help but shout loudly with all his strength: "Everyone be quiet and listen to him."
The crowd gradually quieted down. The young man gave Bai Tian a grateful look and then continued solemnly, "I believe that what we are exploring now is not just where our ancestors came from, but where I come from. In fact, it is also where the heaven and earth came from, and where the power of heaven and earth comes from."
"To answer this question, we should first know who we are. You and I are human, but we are also part of the universe, part of what Taichu called the Eight Trigrams. And I believe that I am who I am..."
The more he spoke, the more incomprehensible it became, and the people around him began to talk about it, all expressing dissatisfaction.
However, listening to it during the day, I was lost in thought. Aren't these people's thoughts the classic three philosophical questions?!
Bai Tian walked up to the young man, saw his frustrated look, and whispered, "Friend, I think what you said makes sense. How about we talk about it?"
The young man was stunned at first, then his eyes sparkled. "Do you really think what I said makes sense? Let me tell you, I actually have a lot of ideas... Oh, by the way, my name is Ladi."
