Original War

Chapter 398: Dismantling

Many people think that the patterns and decorations on cups and dings are purely for the sake of beauty or serve as an identification. Shao Xuan felt that way before, but the deeper he came into contact with these things, Shao Xuan discovered that there are a lot of mysterious things in it. .

Just like the tripod in front of him, Shao Xuan originally thought that what the tripod showed was all about the great achievements or other heroic deeds of a certain slave owner in Anba City, or to record some commemorative things, but when he After careful observation, I discovered that there are many things that I don’t understand.

Yes, these words alone do contain some glorious history of Anba City. Although Shao Xuan can’t understand some of the words above, it does not affect his understanding of those words. Praise the words of the ancient Anba tribe, and a few congratulations. It’s just that, but the moiré patterns on the tripod that seem to serve as decoration or background always give Shao Xuan a strange feeling.

There are many tribes people like this kind of moiré, and the Hui tribes they came into contact with back then also like to use moiré, probably because these swirling moires can be used as decorative fillings, but also have a complex and mysterious sense of structure and freedom. Casual and diverse in style. This moiré flat-footed tripod has a more slender and complex moiré pattern. Every moiré vortex is curled toward the center, some resembling cirrus clouds, some resembling flowing clouds, and it’s not simply composed of many moirés. The two sides are continuously overlapped up and down, but are combined in a more natural way.

It is much more complicated than the moiré patterns used by the Hui tribe, and it is also the most complex but natural moire that Shao Xuan has ever seen.

At first glance, this pattern is quite beautiful. Although it is not as attractive as the larger characters of the tripod body, as long as you see the moiré, you will be attracted to it. It is an inexplicable visual impact. feel.

As decorations, their purpose is achieved, but is it really nothing more than that?

Shao Xuan stared at the ornamentation on the tripod body for a while, trying to copy the complex and dense moiré patterns, but there was no paper or the like around, and the cloth was too luxurious, so Shao Xuan got up and went out to find some width. And the long leaves, and then painted some paint on the circled moiré of the tripod body, printed on the leaves with the leaves, so that the pattern appeared on the leaves, and then Shao Xuancai re-applied those moires on a piece of cloth. Transcribe.

Not only the moiré on the tripod’s body, but also the moiré on the tripod’s three flat feet, but different from the slender and complex moirés on the tripod’s body, the moiré lines on the flat feet are thicker and appear thicker and simpler.

Shao Xuan also printed the moiré on the flat feet one by one, and then studied it slowly.

Zhengluo said that the person who made this tripod was the Xianren, and Xianren liked to use moiré patterns, and as far as Shao Xuan knew, moire patterns were one of the earliest patterns produced. It seems that every tribe that uses moire has a very long history.

The flame pattern of the flaming horn was also born early, but in use, it is not as extensive as the moiré, because the moire is balanced, has a sense of movement, and harmony, and the overlapping patterns of two consecutive sides will not appear abrupt. However, on the tripod cast by Xianren, the moiré seems to contain more.

There is nothing to do at all, as winter is approaching and going out will decrease, and Shao Xuan will have more free time to study these.After copying all the moiré patterns on the tripod body on two pieces of cloth, Shao Xuan went to the witch and asked about the use of some older characters here. It’s just that I don’t know much about witches. I can only see things from hundreds of years ago in the records of our ancestors. However, the ancestors of Yanjiao, in the records handed down, are mostly written by witches, and most of them are used by others. The text on one side, not the native text on this side.

Unable to get the help he wanted from Wu, Shao Xuan could only figure it out for himself.

Thinking about these moire patterns, Shao Xuan felt as if he had returned to the time when he was learning the conclusion. Everything in the world is full of order and rules. Whether it is a beast in the forest or people in various places, the physiological functions in the body are also functioning normally due to order.

Human perceptions such as audiovisual smell and taste and their own functions act on the brain for a long time, which can have a subtle effect on people’s creation, resulting in various arts and techniques. This sense of order is also in the created symbolic patterns. Fully manifested, such as the moiré that Shao Xuan now sees.

Many, but not messy.

Those who create such complex and natural moiré patterns must also pursue a sense of balance and order in their creations, so that the moiré on the tripod body can be produced.

So, under order, what does such a complex combination of moiré represent?

Shao Xuan stared at those moiré patterns for a day, but couldn’t see anything. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan went to the forest and picked up some leaves. The leaves that fell on the ground have turned yellow and have not withered. The leaves are relatively wide. Each leaf is larger than an adult’s palm and thicker.

After picking up the leaves and returning them, they are pressed to dry them and stored for later use after finishing.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also made a square sand table. The sand table was not deep, about one square meter. Some fine sand was screened in it. Shao Xuan took a branch and painted in the sand table.

It seems too difficult to combine complex moire patterns. Shao Xuan tried to divide those moire patterns into several pieces, paint them in the sand table, and separate them. And every time one is removed, a single moire is drawn on a leaf.

It took five days for Shao Xuan to dismantle the moiré on the tripod. It was still a preliminary dismantling. I didn’t know if it was right or not, and there was no correction. Because there was no comparison, no one told Shao Xuan whether it was right or wrong. Art is exaggerated and rendered, and the artistry of the pattern makes it a lot harder for Shao Xuan to dismantle.

After thinking about it for five days, all the time except eating and drinking Lazard was devoted to dismantling. When he finally finished painting the last moiré, Shao Xuan was also tired. He ate a large pot of mountain fruit boiled broth with dark circles under his eyes. After a good sleep, he walked out of the room.

Although the sunshine outside was not as bright as before, it was a bit dazzling for Shao Xuan who had been in the house for five days.

After regaining his senses in a trance, Shao Xuan intends to go to other places down the mountain to relax his nerves. It may not be beneficial to stay tight. Maybe you can get some inspiration by walking around and looking around.

The weather has dropped sharply recently, and the temperature difference from the previous day can be felt almost every day.

Looking into the distance from the mountain, I could see a lot of yellowed bushes five days ago, but now they are much sparser.

Recently, all the people who went out to trade have come back. Not only the people Duokang took to Anba City to trade out, but also those who went to other tribes to trade, cloth silk fabrics or other things.

Some of the hunting meat was hung outside to dry, and walking down the road, Shao Xuan saw a lot of beast-legged beastheads hanging at the door of each house.

Seeing a familiar figure, Shao Xuan shouted: “Lighting, what are you doing?”

The lighting, who was walking into the room holding Guoguo, looked towards Shao Xuan after hearing the sound, and said happily, “Shao Xuan… Elder!”

Shao Xuan looked at the various fruits wrapped in big leaves in the lighting, these are the kinds that are rarely eaten in the tribe, and asked: “What are these for? The soup?”

Some fruits are not eaten directly, so the tribes use them as condiments to make the soup.

“No, this is for those tapir beasts.” Speaking of the illumination, his face was red.

Shao Xuan remembered that when he was hunting, he brought back a colony of tapirs, even large and small, in a net bag to raise the child.

“Where is your brother? Not at home?” Shao Xuan glanced around the room, but didn’t see the adults.

“Went to chop wood with the others.”

Lighting led Shao Xuan to see the tapirs he raised. The little tapir cub is a circle older than when Shao Xuan brought it back, and its hair has grown thicker. The cooler the weather, the more hair on this kind of tapir, which is good for cold protection.

Seeing Shao Xuan coming, they squeezed towards the mother model, and the big and the small were nested in the corner piled with branches and withered grass.

“Very energetic, well raised, you can eat a little older.” Shao Xuan said, looking at the tapirs.

“Xiaobi’s mother said that these tapir beasts will grow faster after winter. They eat less in winter and grow slowly.” Thinking of something, the lighting said to Shao Xuan happily, “But when they grow up, I I won’t eat it anymore.”

“Why?” Shao Xuan wondered. Don’t these little kids often drool at the captive beasts? Why don’t you eat it again?

Ying Ying smiled with white teeth and said nothing, but some faint lines appeared on his face, and the lines were gradually deepening, not as fast as Shao Xuan and the others, but they were indeed deepening steadily.

“Totem pattern?!” Shao Xuan was surprised, then smiled: “Congratulations, you are about to become a totem warrior.”

Although I have heard other people say before, it is the first time that Shao Xuan has seen tribesmen who have not awakened during the sacrificial ceremony. Perhaps this is the difference brought about by the disappearance of the fire. The fire has been integrated into the blood of every Yanhorn person. As long as it touches the boundary of awakening, the power of the fire in the blood can help them awaken at any time without waiting for the sacrificial ceremony.

As for the “don’t eat tapir beasts” mentioned by the lighting, of course it is because after becoming a totem warrior, you can eat some higher-level beasts, such as fierce beasts.

It’s not a loss if you can’t eat it, but you can exchange something with other people.

After turning around the mountain, Shao Xuan was called up the mountain by Guangyi who carried a large bundle of firewood.

Because Shao Xuan had not been out before, and it seemed that he was busy with something, everyone didn’t bother him. Now when Shao Xuan came out and wandered, he called Shangshan to talk.

After getting along for a long time, Guangyi’s face blindness finally got an impression of Shao Xuan. Even if Shao Xuan’s face is still blurred, he can recognize Shao Xuan as long as he sees the bone ornaments worn by Shao Xuan.

“Winter is coming soon. Wu said that snow will start to fall within three days. The leader is discussing winter hunting in these two days.” Guangyi told Shao Xuandao.

Generally speaking, when the winter starts here, there will be no heavy snowfall, and the tribe will organize a hunting. When it comes to heavy snowfall, they will not go out.

After going up the mountain, Duokang asked Shao Xuan if he would go hunting in winter. Winter hunting is dangerous in winter, and not everyone is suitable for winter hunting.

“I’ll go hunting.” Shao Xuan said. He also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt a better prey and make a sacrificial animal costume to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

The winter here is not too long. After the winter, there will be the most important sacrificial ceremony of the year. This is also the first sacrificial ceremony that Shao Xuan came here and participated in.
