Original War

Chapter 279

From the tribe to here, they drove for five days. They only had a short rest in the middle. They also found two caves that could be used as strongholds. Of course, there were fierce beasts in the cave, but they were encircled by them. It was dinner that day.

Everyone can be described as a bloody fight, and the deeper the mountains and forests, the once familiar, exciting, dangerous, and blood-boiled hunting feeling comes back again. They like the old place very much and are very satisfied with this mountain forest.

If other tribes know how Yanjiao people feel about this mountain forest, they will definitely think that Yanjiao people are neurotic and like to be neighbors with fierce beasts and look for abuse.

However, the Yanjiao people who came from the other side of the river had been in contact with this kind of environment since they were young, and faced with this kind of environment, it was easier for them to adapt.

Sometimes the two big bosses are still thinking about whether there will be a place like green land where all kinds of precious and dangerous plants grow in the deeper forests?

In just five days, everyone was like a killer crawling out of a thick sea of ​​blood, full of cruelty and Killing intent. The fierce beasts that were brought out together looked even more fierce. If they weren’t looking at the Yanjiao tribe’s people, their eyes were slightly slow and obedient enough. Otherwise, at first sight, it would give people a different feeling. The native beasts in the forest are no different.

“That’s it.”

Shao Xuan pointed to a place on the mountain and said.

Although he hasn’t reached that place yet, the tower and Guihe looked along the direction Shao Xuan pointed out. You can clearly see the place where a big stone is blocking. Behind the stone, it must be the ancestors Shao Xuan said. Stay in the cave.

Taking a deep breath, everyone could not help tidying up the animal skins on their bodies, patted the grass clippings on the animal skins, and washed their faces by a clear spring on the mountain, and rubbed some of their arms, legs and feet. Dry blood stains.

In the face of their ancestors, they will treat it seriously.

After careful sorting, a group of talents went to the mountain.

The cave is no longer the guardian power that Shao Xuan encountered when he came here last time, and it looks no different from a normal cave.

After removing the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave, leaving a few fierce beasts guarding outside, Shao Xuan led the two big bosses and others into the cave.

The insect-proof herbs that were sprinkled in the cave last time are still there, but the smell is much weaker.

Before Shao Xuan left last time, although a trap was set up and some insect-proof Medicinal herbs were scattered, because the power to protect the cave was gone, Shao Xuan worried that the ancestors’ bodies would rot, so he put the bone ornaments on his neck. Putting it on the person who was sitting on the ground and dressed like a witch, the remains of the other six ancestors were also moved closer by Shao Xuan. Since the bone ornaments were able to protect the remains of those ancestors in the cave of the Stone Insect King Insect, they should be able to protect them now.

After entering the cave, Shao Xuan took a closer look. The remains of the seven ancestors were the same as the last time he saw them, and they did not rot quickly, which made Shao Xuan relieved.

Every time they saw the remains of their ancestors, the people of Yanjiao tribe were always very excited, especially after listening to Shao Xuan’s last visit to the cave, Ta and Guihe and others waited to bow down and bow down again, to show Reverence for ancestors.

The tower took the torch and carefully followed Shao Xuan to the innermost cave.

“These are ‘history’.” Shao Xuan said, pointing to the boxes.

Whether it is the ancestors or these boxes containing the “history” of Yanjiao, they will send them back to the tribe at all costs.

After seeing the ancestors and “history”, the two big bosses led people out of the cave and went down the mountain to chop wood to make a sedan chair. In fact, it’s not really a sedan chair. It just made the appearance of three carriages, each of which will be carried by four people, and the others will guard the surroundings.

Shao Xuan and his entourage rested in this cave for two days, and in these two days they also made a sedan chair for their ancestors. Carefully put the remains of the seven ancestors into one sedan chair, and the other boxes containing “history” are placed in two batches in the other two sedan chairs.

The things left in the cave are limited, and many have lost their original appearance. If you see these in the tribe, they will definitely be thrown away as rubbish, but this is left by the ancestors and has different meanings. You can take it with you. Go, if you don’t think it is necessary to take it away, continue to put it in the cave.

“After the route is opened up, we will come back.” Guihe said.

The speed of going back is much slower. After all, you have to bring your ancestors and “history” with you, and you have to keep it from being destroyed by other beasts, which naturally consumes more time.

At this time, the performance of a few fierce beasts is very good, they will attract other fierce beasts they encounter, and then find a place to solve them, instead of fighting around those sedan chairs.

Eight days later, the group returned to the tribe. When they were still some distance away from the tribe, they met someone sent by the witch and the leader to respond, and they also shared the pressure of everyone.

Everyone has wounds, and so are a few fierce beasts, but they are all in good spirits. The former is because he brought back the ancestors and “history”, and I think it is a supreme honor, while the latter is because I think I ran out for a good time. Although I almost died several times and suffered a lot of injuries on his body, it was fun enough.

Those people who had left outside had already left. The people in the tribe stopped all their affairs and followed the Wuhe leader to the border to greet them.

Some people didn’t know why they were in such a battle at first, and they couldn’t restrain their excitement after everyone told each other.

“That’s an ancestor!”

“What did the ancestors look like?”

“It must be mighty Bufan!”

“I heard that people who have worshiped their ancestors can be blessed by their ancestors! A warrior I know has worshipped before, and he has overcome several crises during hunting.”

“Have you found an ancestor before?”

“Yes, I heard that Elder Shao Xuan discovered it.”

“What about this time?”

“I heard that Elder Shao Xuan discovered it.”

“…As expected of Elder…”

…

For the Flame Horned, even if the ancestor’s remains rotted so that only a skeleton frame remained, it still carried the inviolable smell of Sacred.

It is a pity that they did not see the appearance of their ancestors, but only saw three big “boxes” carried by more than a dozen people.

“Welcome the return of the ancestors!”

The leader of Wuhe bowed down first.

There were thousands of people on the border, all of them knelt down, even children who didn’t understand anything, they also knelt down with the adults at this time. They lost their usual stubbornness. They had a strange feeling, a little heavy, and a little bit heavy. Excited.

After Shao Xuan brought back the remains of the ancestors from the Stone Chongwang Chongshan Cave, a ceremony was held in the tribe to cremate the ancestors. This time naturally, but not immediately.

Because of the protection of bone decorations, the remains of the seven ancestors will not rot quickly. The witch put them in a room in the stone house, and then did not leave the house for several days. Actually, it is not always facing the ancestors, but studying them. “History” brought back.

Ao also went to watch every day, and Guize, who was selected by the witch as the next witch’s successor, followed Wu to look at the “history” left by him every day.

There is too much information in it that they need to grasp. Shao Xuan and Guize divide the labor, categorize the witch-selected ones, and then re-transcribe them, such as the records of astronomical phenomena, farming, animal husbandry, handicrafts, etc., although it has been thousands of years. , But some are still very helpful.

Regardless of whether it is a witch or the leader Ao, although they knew that the Yanjiao tribe had been brilliant before, after all, there was no more specific concept. The records left by the ancestors were limited, but now, through these “history”, they deeply feel the prosperity of the year. .

Thinking of the proud faces of those people who had fallen outside the other day, and thinking about the once domineering Yanjiao tribe, Ao only felt that there was a long way to go. Yanjiao needed to develop and regain its prosperity, but it also took time.

“Who are the ancestors who came back?” Shao Xuan asked Wu after catching the gap.

Wu was silent for a while, and slowly said: “During the disaster, the witch of the Yanjiao tribe passed the position of witch to the next one, and let the new witch and leader take the people of the tribe to leave, and he himself took a hundred. Many people brought these precious “history” to the mountains and forests to hide them in case they were damaged by natural or man-made disasters. More than a hundred people, and the witch, guarded the “history” until the end of their lives.”

“More than a hundred people?” Shao Xuan was puzzled. When he found the cave, there were only seven, including the old witch.

“The others… are dead… there is no bones left!” Wu lightly stroked the small roll of animal skins on his hand. This was the last record of the witch, and he felt the words weeping blood and heavy.

At the time of the natural disasters, the fierce beasts in the mountains were also frightened and manic because of the sudden changes in the heavens and the earth. When encountering such a madman-like beast, people who go out hunting die every day, and even the corpse is not left behind. In the end, only seven of them were left, and until they died, they did not wait for the people to come.

“If one day, encounter the same situation, I will do the same.” Wu said.

“When do you plan to hold the sacrifice?” Shao Xuan asked.

Wu did not answer, but asked Shao Xuan, “Can we re-carve the carvings on the stone pillars?”

“No problem.” Shao Xuan said.

During the time they left to go to the forest of fierce beasts, Ao had already brought more than a thousand people to transport a few huge stone pillars. The meaning of Wu Shao Xuan understood that he hoped to fix the stone pillars before cremating the ancestors.

Because the stone pillars are too big, it is impossible for Shao Xuan to complete them all. The leader Wu He called some people with good stone skills to polish the stone pillars first, don’t pit the pits here, one corner, and one bulge. After the stone pillar is polished for the first time, Shao Xuan will engrave the patterns in his memory.

In the past, Shao Xuan only remembered the patterns of Shizhushan, and couldn’t understand what it was. However, after reading the more detailed records left by his ancestors, he discovered that many patterns on the stone pillars have special meanings. They are different in different locations. The patterns depicted on the stone pillars are also different. In addition to being used as a sundial, they also have sacrificial significance.

It’s no wonder Wu hoped that when the ancestors were cremated, they would fill in the missing things that were destroyed around them according to the records left by the ancestors. That is the most orthodox sacrificial ceremony of the Yanjiao tribe.
