Because of the one-year contract and the animal skin scroll that signed the names of many young warriors, everyone ignored the winners and losers of the previous turf.
The winner or loser of the turf is a matter for those little brats, but this animal skin scroll, which is a "commitment book", is a competition between totem warriors!
Which is more important and attractive, needless to say.
After a long delay on the mountain, when Shao Xuan came back down the mountain, it was later than usual.
"There are a lot of things in the medicine house today? Or is there something wrong with Wu?" Seeing that Shao Xuan had only returned at this time, Lao Ke asked nervously.
"It's okay, the medicine house has very few tasks today. I have already left. I just met some people on the mountain, and we talked about it." Shao Xuan said.
Lao Ke was relieved when he heard the words, and said to Shao Xuan with approval: "Communicate more with other people on the mountain, and it will be good for you in the future."
"Ok, I know."
After eating something, Shao Xuan returned to his room, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly mobilized the totem power in his body.
This time, unlike the time on the mountain, Shao Xuan slowly controlled the power of the totem, and the totem pattern on his arm gradually showed, the flame-like pattern extending from the shoulder and along the arm.
After one-third, one-half, two-thirds of the upper arm... The totem pattern has spread to the two-thirds of the upper arm and stopped!
During the last hunt this year, Shao Xuan remembered that the totem pattern on his arm was only one-half, not two-thirds. After the hunt, Shao Xuan didn't have much time to train. After training on the ground, I followed the witch to learn herbal medicine, as well as the drawing of the witch scroll...
Witch scroll drawing
The power of inheritance!
Shao Xuan felt the totem in his mind. The fiery red flame wraps the two horns, and at the bottom of the flame near the two horns, the blue flame body is also clearly visible. Compared with when I first started learning the witch scroll, the blue flames are now much more, and The red flame has not decreased, on the contrary, the flame body is higher!
Now it is not in the state of fighting and hunting. Such a flame body means that it usually remains like this.
Shao Xuan hadn't paid attention to it before. He was just staring at the blue flame symbolizing the power of inheritance when he was drawing the witch scroll. Now it seems that the added blue flame also expanded the flame on the totem as a whole.
Is there such a benefit in practicing the power of inheritance? !
This was completely unexpected to Shao Xuan.
It's no wonder that Shao Xuan felt that the control of the power of the totem was much more familiar than when he was on the last hunt. He didn't think that he would stop Tai with a single move, and he thought that it would take a while to decide the winner. However, the moment Taizhan revealed the totem pattern, Shao Xuan suddenly had a feeling that the person in front of him was not strong, and he could cope with it easily.
Shao Xuan wondered if other people whose totem lines spread to two-thirds of their upper arms felt the same way. He carefully recalled the situation at that time, and felt the changes in the totems. Take out the leather scroll and the pen and paint box, and continue to draw the witch scroll.
As for those people on the mountain, they recovered from their one-year contract after Shao Xuan left. Tai said regretfully, "Forgot to ask him where the totem pattern is now!"
Lei looked at the place where Shao Xuan was standing before, there was a pair of sunken footprints, which appeared when Shao Xuan and Thai palm fisted, but everyone didn't pay attention before.
"You don't care how far he is now, as long as you can beat him by next winter," Ray said.
"Yes." Tai rubbed his fists and agreed.
Just as the other young warriors of the tribe were thinking and talking about what kind of prey they would hunt next year and how much they would hunt, Shao Xuan still maintained his previous routine, going to the witch to paint in the morning, to the pharmacy to help in the afternoon, and then back home. When I got home, I stayed in my room, slowly moving my pen and drawing on the animal hide scroll.
As the winter passed, Shao Xuan went to the cave once to see it. Some of the children in the cave were sleeping, while the older ones were carrying stones to practice their strength. It's nice to have such a change. Now there is no shortage of food in the cave, except for the fish that were hoarded before winter, sometimes go out and catch some small beasts nearby.
Everything is going in a good direction.
Shao Xuan stretched his waist and looked at the almost finished painting on the stone table in front of him.
Drawing a picture now is not as difficult as it used to be. At first, it took half a day to draw a picture. Now, I can draw several pictures in half a day, and I can run outside to train Caesar and Chacha.
Wu gave him two animal skin scrolls, one of which Shao Xuan took up the mountain every day to practice Wu scroll transcription or draw it himself, and then check the results for Wu. On the other hand, Shao Xuan practiced at home, Wu did not know.
From Wu's point of view, it is very rare that Shao Xuan can draw so many pictures every day, and it has long exceeded his expectations. Wu would never have imagined that after Shao Xuan returned every day, he would draw on another animal skin scroll, not a transcription version, but an original painting based on his own consciousness!
Shao Xuan's paintings now are going to be given to Wu at that time. Wu taught him herbs and taught him how to control the power of inheritance, and Shao Xuan also wanted to repay the old magician.
For the sake of the tribe, we must stick to this, sacrifice a lot, and be a witch.
However, the arsenic of the first and the honey of the second, Shao Xuan felt that this child was not easy to sit, and Wu probably did not think so. It's just that there is always some regret in Wu's heart, and Shao Xuanneng can see it from Wu's eyes every time he looks at Wu Juan.
"It's almost there..." Shao Xuan looked at the animal skin roll in front of him and said in a low voice.
Before the end of winter, the tribe's people were going to start selecting children who had reached their age. Wu had been busy these days, and even Shao Xuan had not had time to see the results of his paintings these days.
On this day, Wu finally had some free time, sat there and closed his eyes to rest, suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at the animal skin scroll on the low table. This is what Shao Xuan put here after his practice this morning. He was on other things at the time and couldn't watch.
He took the animal skin scroll, and as soon as he got it, Wu realized that something was wrong. This animal skin scroll was not the one that Shao Xuan usually practiced. Haven't seen each other for a few days, that kid has finished drawing a picture
Confused, Wu untied the tied leather rope. When he unpacked it, Wu still thought, every time he saw that kid drawing the Wushu scroll, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, why didn't he want to be a witch? Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers ran out, it was hard to take back their hearts, and it was better to nurture children who had never been out.
Spread out the witch scroll.
Wu originally thought that Shao Xuan would draw some simple medicinal plants, such as jumping fruit, or several medicinal herbs that he had come into contact with in the past few days, but he did not expect...
The hands trembled terribly.
On the witch scroll, the first picture is a bit long. If others see it, they will definitely not understand what is drawn in it. But what Wu saw was the huge vines around the ancient trees, the mist rising from the mountains, the looming pools due to the shelter of the trees, etc. He could vaguely feel the vitality and danger in them, making people feel the whole body. His hair seems to be trembling nervously... This is a picture full of mountains and forests!
After seeing a picture, Wu raised his hand and put it on his chest. Beating a little faster.
Many witches have been taught since childhood, and once selected, they will not leave the tribe. Therefore, Wu has never left the scope of the tribe from his birth to the present.
Although he knew many things, such as the names of the beasts that the hunting team would encounter, where the advance team went, and so on. But it is only known, not really seen with their own eyes, even if they are seen, they are not active, and they bring back prey that has already been slaughtered.
Perhaps when I was young, I imagined that I would be able to leave the tribe one day, but as I got older and served as a witch for so many years, my mind has calmed down, and I have seriously become a witch with heavy responsibilities, leading the tribe to develop in a good direction.
Even though, as a Wu, at this age, there are not many things that can make his mood fluctuate so much, but at this moment, Wu's emotions are uncontrollable.
One by one, there are experiences on the hunting route, as well as what Shao Xuan encountered when he followed the advance team, such as the huge group of dragonflies.
Wu finished reading it, then returned to continue reading it again.
The people outside boiled hot water, soaked herbs and brought them in, so that Wu could drink when he was thirsty.
The people who came in walked silently, and they put down the stone cup cautiously, for fear of disturbing the witch. When he walked out the door, he glanced at Wu's side, thinking that Wu was probably looking at which ancestor's legacy, and every time he looked at something left by his ancestor, Wu's mood would always be particularly sad or excited.
On the other side, Shao Xuan left behind the completed witch scroll, and went to the medicine house to help. When he came home from the mountain, Lao Ke was already spinning around the door. He seemed to be in a hurry. He walked around in place and stomped hard. Get off the crutches.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan asked.
"I'm back!" Lao Ke took a few steps forward, his mouth trembling, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Calm down, calm down and talk."
"Can't calm down!" Lao Ke gasped roughly, and after a while, he finally calmed down and said, "Wu let someone tell you something."
"Well, what did Wu say?"
"Wu said, let you prepare and participate in the sacrificial ceremony after the end of winter."
"Isn't everyone participating in the sacrificial ceremony?" Shao Xuan wondered, what's so exciting about this
"It's the core list! The group of people closest to the fire pond!" Lao Ke tapped his cane hard.
Lao Ke now has a sense of pride that his children have finally come out on top. Although Shao Xuan had also made meritorious deeds in the past, he was praised by the witch, and he could learn things from the witch, but the sacrifice was extremely sacred to the people of the tribe. Anyone who can participate in one of the parts of the sacrificial ceremony will be overjoyed and want to kneel on the spot and worship a few times on the mountain, not to mention the group of people closest to the fire pond.
After all, he is not an indigenous person. In the past two years, although Shao Xuan tried his best to integrate, he couldn't change his mind, and he was not as excited as Lao Ke.
Lao Ke was quite positive, "What should I wear then? Ah Xuan, where did you put your thorny black wind leather clothes? Take it out and I'll wipe it!"
Thorn black wind leather jacket? "I wore it once when I paid homage to my ancestors, and then threw it under the bed."
It's not that he thinks it's heavy, that weight is nothing to Shao Xuan, it just feels like he's dressed like a little monster, with thorns running behind his back.
Lao Ke left with the thorny black wind animal skin coat to clean it up carefully, leaving Shao Xuan standing in the house.
The group of people closest to the fire pit? Who are they here
Thinking back, Shao Xuan's eyelids suddenly jumped. Holy crap, those who dance the sacrificial dance! !
It's the kind of dance that is like digging vegetables for a while, shaking your chest for a while, and throwing a rag with the shop assistant for a while!
"...I feel a little bit ashamed."
