The Curved Horn Tribe.
Lin Ye was invited by several young men to visit the tribe.
The Curved Horn Tribe wasn't very big. The tribe was built with simple and crude stone houses ten kilometers away from the river. Most of the men, women, and children in the tribe were wrapped in animal skins. Only a few wore hemp clothes. Torches were inserted on the fence wall of the tribe to drive away beasts.
Lin Ye understood in his heart. Clearly, the legendary three ancestors of the human race who created houses, clothes, and the use of fire had long been born.
"Exalted Immortal, please come in. The conditions of the tribe are not good.”The leading youth said with some embarrassment.
Lin Ye shook his head and smiled." Bear, I told you not to call me an Exalted Immortal. Actually, I'm not much stronger than you. I can only be considered to have just started on the road of cultivation. Call me Lin Ye!”
The leader was called Xiong.
Xiong Han smiled and scratched his head. After he stepped into the tribe, he said loudly,"Wu, clan leader, an immortal has come to our tribe as a guest!”
The entire tribe was in an uproar. The Curved Horn Tribe was not big, and the number of stone houses did not exceed 1,000. At this moment, the men, women, and children in the tribe all rushed to the square in the tribe and stretched their heads to look at Lin Ye as if he was a peerless treasure.
A burly middle-aged man with a large number of bright feathers on his head and a strange beast tattoo on his chest, as well as an old man in sackcloth with a wrinkled face, walked out of the crowd.
"Welcome, Exalted Immortal, to Curved Horn. I am the shaman of Curved Horn. You can call me Arowana. He is the chief of Curved Horn Tribe-Zhuang!”The old man in hemp clothes thumped his chest and bowed to Lin Ye.
The current human race did not bow down to cultivators like the human race in the future. They respected all powerful masters, but they would never kneel down easily.
Lin Ye smiled and said,"You're too polite, Clan Leader Wu He. I'm Lin Ye, a disciple of Jie School. I passed by your precious land on my way to cultivate. Sorry for disturbing you."”
Lin Ye's polite attitude gave the people of the Curved Horn Tribe a good impression. Everyone revealed a sincere smile on their faces. The Curved Horn Wizard, Arowana, invited Lin Ye to rest in the stone house, but he rejected,"
"You don't have to be so polite. I'm just here to take a look, you don't have to take care of me.”
Under the orders of the tribe leader, Zhuang, the gathered crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Wu and the tribe leader to accompany him as he strolled around the tribe.
On the other side, Xiong and the other eight young men who had eaten Lin Ye's roasted frog meat were boasting to their tribe members with exultation,"
"You don't know how delicious the roasted Jade Frog of the Exalted Immortal is. Let me tell you, I've never eaten such a delicious Jade Frog in my life. Just thinking about it makes me drool!”
"Bear, are you bragging? Who hadn't eaten roasted jade frogs before? It was just like that. He still ate the fish meat before it flew!”
"Aiya, I really didn't lie to you. If I lied to you, I would be eaten by demon beasts!”
"Tiger, is what Xiong said true? Was the roasted jadeite frog really that delicious?”
"Little Bear, the bear didn't lie to you. It's indeed the best meat we've ever eaten!”
……
Lin Ye almost laughed out loud when he heard the names of Bear, Little Bear, and Tiger. He curiously asked the shaman, Arowana.
"Dragonfish Witch, are your names all animals or something like Chief Zhuang? Don't you think it's strange to call me that? And…it's also very inconvenient?"
The clan leader and shaman were puzzled by Lin Ye's question.
"Inconvenient? No way! " This is how we humans give our names. Some give names based on what we see at birth, while others give names based on the baby's physical condition. For example, I'm called Zhuang because I was stronger than other babies when I was born. That's why my mother named me Zhuang!”
"For example, bear. If he is called bear in the tribe, then the others can only be called big bear or little bear. But if more parents want to name their children bear, what should they call them? Could they be called white bears or black bears or male bears or female bears?”
" Of course you can. Is there a problem?" the chief said matter-of-factly. A name is just a code name."
Lin Ye was speechless. He thought for a moment." For example, when you're hunting a bear, when you're working together to encircle and suppress each other, could it be that you're going to attack the bear from the left? Little Bear, go and see if there are any little bears in the bear cave?”
The tongue-twister words stunned the clan leader. Thinking about it carefully, it was really a little awkward.
The shaman bowed to Lin Ye and asked,"May I ask if there is any way to solve the problem of the human name?"”
Lin Ye did not hesitate." It's very simple. As long as everyone has a surname and a first name, won't that do?"”
"Surname?"
"That's right, surnames can be fixed. For example, if you're from the Curved Horn Tribe, what does it mean?”
Wu recalled for a moment and explained," Our Curved Horn Tribe is actually a tribe that separated from the You Qiu Tribe more than a hundred years ago. The human race has a hard time surviving. Not only are there demon beasts and demon clans eyeing us covetously, but there are also frequent incidents of our people being eaten. It is also difficult to obtain food. It is difficult to ensure the survival of too many people in a single place. Therefore, when the population of the tribe reaches a certain level, a portion of the tribe will be separated.”
" The people who split up will leave the habitat of their ancestors and look for a suitable place to live. Our tribe moved here more than a hundred years ago. Because the river not far away formed a big bend here, and this is the corner of Shangshou Yang Mountain, the tribe is called the Curved Horn!”
In the tribe, Lin Ye saw many stone tablets and stone carvings with bird and insect oracle bone inscriptions. Therefore, he understood that even if the human race had not successfully created words, they must have symbols that could be used as words.
Lin Ye nodded." That's simple. Surnames are actually made up of surnames and surnames. You can unify the surnames of the tribes. There are humans living by the river, so you can call them He. You can also call them Shan or Shan, etc. As long as the pronunciation is the same, there will be no problem.”
"As for the surname, it's actually to make future generations remember where they came from. For example, your Curved Horn Tribe was separated from the You Qiu Tribe, so the surname can be combined with the surname. For example, if you separate You Qiu from a hill and add a mountain, then it will become Yue.”
"This way, you can call yourself Yue. Wouldn't it be easier to distinguish if you have a surname and a first name?”
When Lin Ye finished speaking, Wu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His wrinkled face turned green and red. He was so excited that he trembled and almost lost his balance. He muttered,
"Don't forget the root, don't forget the root! Good, good! Surnames, surnames! With surnames, you won't forget your roots. This is the inheritance of our human race!”
At the same time, the clouds in the sky started to churn again. A dark yellow cloud that was much stronger than the frog meat roasted on the grill with seasoning gathered. A thick pillar of light that Lin Ye and the humans of the Curved Horn Tribe could not see fell on Lin Ye's head.
"What's going on?"
Once again, Lin Ye felt the true essence in his body begin to surge. The innate spiritual qi within a hundred miles desperately drilled into his body, and his cultivation increased crazily. This time, the intensity of the increase in cultivation was at least ten times that of the previous time.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate! This…this…could it be merit?”
No matter how slow his reaction was, he had a faint understanding. The ancient books of the Shangqing Temple recorded that before the ancient world was connected, when a living being obtained great merit, his cultivation would increase sharply.
It was just that the matter of obtaining Heavenly Merit was too long ago. In addition, it was all recorded in ancient books. Lin Ye had always treated it as a fairy tale, which caused him to not react for a while.

"Boom!"
The vital essence in his body contracted and collapsed towards his dantian, turning into a golden speck of dust. The surging innate spiritual energy began to be unable to keep up with the speed of the golden speck of dust.
Seeing that the golden particles in his dantian were starting to become unstable due to the inability of the innate spiritual energy to keep up, the nine black hole-like apertures hidden in Lin Ye's body suddenly opened. In an instant, the area that absorbed the innate spiritual energy rapidly expanded from a hundred miles in diameter to thousands of miles.
A funnel visible to the naked eye formed with Lin Ye at the center. The endless Connate Spiritual Qi was swallowed by him like a black hole.
The Nine Orifice Exquisite Body that was formed with the help of Daoist Myriad Treasures was finally activated.
