Shao Xuan held the bone ornament and recalled the situation back then. He remembered that it was the ball in the middle of the bone ornament that worked at the beginning, and asked, "Do you know what this ball is? Where did the ancestors get the treasure?"
In the cave of Wang Zong, the surroundings were dark and there was no light. However, under the vision of special ability, Shao Xuan saw the light emanating from this bead at that time, covering the surrounding people and things, but Take it to a well-lit place, and when you can see everything clearly, in the ordinary field of vision, you find that this bead is as dim as ordinary things.
This is a very special thing.
"Baby? It is indeed an extremely precious thing." With infinite reverence in Wu's eyes, he stared at the ball in the bone ornament and said, "A long time ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the tribe, after the first Wu died, the leader sent him to him. Put it into the fire, but found that the first witch did not disappear like the others, but left behind six beads."
"That's it?" Shao Xuan was surprised.
Wu nodded, "Later, six beads were given to those who made great contributions in the tribe. They were also called 'elders'. Except for the witch and the leader, they were the six highest-ranking people in the tribe. The witch and the leader. The six beads are the second rays of light in the tribe. Even in a place far away from the fire, they can illuminate the night for the clansmen... It's a pity that after the tribe's fire was incomplete, the six beads dimmed. ."
Shao Xuan suddenly felt that the bone ornament in his hand was heavy. What if I really lost it? The witch will fight him desperately. If it is an ordinary treasure, it doesn't matter, this is something left by the first witch, and there is no seventh gem in this world.
Thinking of Shao Xuan for a moment, six beads
Looking at Wu in doubt, Shao Xuan asked, "The six beads left by the old man of the first witch are all in your hands?" He just saw that there were only three bone ornaments in the box Wu took out.
Wu shook his head, with a tone of regret and regret that could not be concealed: "The other three, along with the other half of the fire, disappeared. So far, I have not been able to feel where the other half of the fire is."
Even Wu couldn't feel it, so he really didn't know where it was. Tinder, as expected, is still incomplete. As for when it will be found, God knows.
After talking about the sacrificial ceremony after the end of next winter, Wu Cai let Shao Xuan leave. This time, if nothing else, Shao Xuan is still one of the dancers of the sacrificial dance.
After Shao Xuan left, Wu sat on the spot and looked at the other two dim orbs decorated with bones in the stone box. After thinking for a long time, it finally turned into a sigh. When I didn't come, I spent all day thinking about how to cross the river, how to return to the original place, and what to do after arriving at the original place. But after returning, Wu felt a lot of pressure as he became more aware of the surrounding situation.
Is the Flaming Horn Tribe strong? Yes, but only once. Compared with the big tribes in the middle, there is still a gap in their current strength. Even if they really match the Wanshi tribe next to them, it might be a rather tragic result, which is what he does not want to see. . However, in the sacrificial ceremony after winter, it is good to wait for the tourists to wake up.
Become stronger, only by becoming stronger can you stand firm.
On Shao Xuan's side, after he left the witch, he went straight back. At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were many fewer people walking outside. Fortunately, there was no Yeyan here. Those annoying nocturnal insects were also caused by fire. , came out less.
After the fire seed is connected to the fire vein, it has a great influence on other creatures. Chacha doesn't like staying close to the fire pond now. He just comes here every day, brings some prey to Lao Ke, and then leaves in a hurry.
After dinner, Shao Xuan originally planned to go over there to see the condition of the carnivorous birds he raised, but because of the bone ornament given by the witch, he did not go out and sat in the room to study the bone ornament.
The core function of the bone ornament was the bead. Shao Xuan touched the dim surface of the bead, and it was not as cold and warm as other items in winter. Such a thing turned out to be left behind by a witch after being cremated. If he hadn't heard of the witch, Shao Xuan would never have thought about it.
Knowing that this thing is special, Shao Xuan did not research anything until he fell asleep. However, after falling asleep, Shao Xuan had a dream.
In the dream, a human figure composed of flames gradually became clear. At first, it was only in a relatively distant place, but gradually, the person who was covered in fire walked straight towards this side, and the figure was getting closer and closer. , can't see the facial features, can't tell the age or gender, just a person wrapped in flames.
The fireman opened his arms, just like the way Wu had shown when he summoned the fire beside the fire. He seemed to be thinking something, but Shao Xuan couldn't hear it clearly.
witch
Shao Xuan was like a bystander, watching the fire man's every move.
When Shao Xuan was immersed in such a weird dream, the bone ornament he was wearing flashed in the dark night, and then dimmed again. as usual.
When Shao Xuan woke up the next day, what he saw in the dream was still clear. Looking at the bone ornament hanging on his neck, Shao Xuan thought, could it be that the ancestors dreamed? Or is he thinking too much
Shaking his head, seeing that the beads on the bone ornament are still as dim as yesterday, Shao Xuan no longer thinks about it any more. Today, he does not go out hunting, but he wants to participate in patrols.
Before the winter, the Wanshi Tribe would occasionally come to the border areas to sneak in. After the winter, there will be less, but the necessary vigilance is still necessary. Not to mention, there are many tourists in the tribe whose loyalty is yet to be tested. .
The vast majority of tourists who have been able to persist until now are people with firm hearts and know what kind of life they want. Even if there is no craft that can be seen, as long as they are willing to learn and pay, they will still be able to eat. As for starvation.
"A Xuan, how many people do you think can be awakened this time?" Lang Ga asked.
"I'm not sure, one or two thousand people should have it." Shao Xuan replied.
"Only one or two thousand?" Not only Lang Ga, but also the other people who were patrolling with him.
Among the original tribesmen, no matter whether they have hunting ability or not, there must be more than 1,500 totem warriors alone. Except for some women, the rest are children who have not yet reached their age. Among the latter In the future, a large number of people will awaken to become totem warriors. And after coming to the old place, the tourists who came along with them and the tourists who came back, there are also six or seven thousand, and they were surprised for a long time at that time. If most of these six or seven thousand can be awakened, how much help would it be
But that's not the case.
Among the tourist families who were admitted to the tribe, many were not from Yanjiao, such as Yan Shuo's wife, Lao Ho's wife, and some women who were from Yanjiao, but their husbands were foreign tribesmen. A lot of them are registered as Yanjiao tribesmen. Therefore, strictly speaking, judging by bloodline, 30 to 50% of the six or seven thousand people must be subtracted, and then looking at the people who can awaken, it is finally inferred that there are really only one to two thousand people.
Listening to Shao Xuan's analysis, the patrolling was a little dazed.
"However, women accounted for almost half of the tourists who came back." Shao Xuan said. Most of the tourists who left in the middle of the trip were men, and few women left. Perhaps, they knew that even if the tribe would face a crisis, it was already the best choice for them.
As soon as this was mentioned, Lang Ga and the others, who had been sluggish, suddenly cheered up. This is indeed a good thing.
In the past on the other side of the river, there were few women, but the witches were strictly controlled, so there were many bachelors in each generation. In addition, the birth rate was not high and the environment was difficult, so in the past so many years, there are still only a few people.
Among the tourists who come back now, not only are there many women, but the birth rate of children is also much higher. For example, Yan Shuo’s family has two children. Now I hear that their living conditions are better, their health is much better, and he has a wife again. , Look at the envy of Lang Ga and others.
As long as there is time, I believe that the tribe will develop quickly.
Shao Xuan thought about it, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned sharply to look in one direction. There is where the tribe's tourists live.
"What's wrong?" Lang Ga asked when they saw this.
Shao Xuan said with alertness and doubts, "I always feel that someone is watching me."
"What's the matter, everyone knows you, maybe someone's little girl is interested in you..." Lang Ga said and paused.
Shao Xuan's face was serious, and the others stopped joking. People like them who have experienced countless life-and-death hunting, their intuition is quite accurate. If they really feel that something is wrong, then there must be something wrong! Those tourists who came back, not everyone can be trusted.
"Go over there and see?" Lang Ga asked.
"No need." Shao Xuan stopped, "Just keep an eye on that side recently." If your intuition is correct, there are other people hidden among the tourists who came back this time.
The direction that Shao Xuan was looking at just now was where the tourists who returned from the tribe lived, in an unremarkable wooden house.
"How? I told you to be careful, but you don't believe it." Inside the room, a simple and honest-looking middle-aged man said, sitting on a wooden stool with his legs crossed. But at this time, there is no honesty on his face, and some are just gloating.
Next to the window of the wooden house, a beautiful and slender woman was hiding against the wall. Just now, she was just planning to test the kid, but she didn't want to.
The woman was about to distinguish something when she heard footsteps approaching outside, not a totem warrior, which reassured them a lot.
"Look for me, I have to go out to work, be careful with yourself, it's best not to go out these two days, otherwise we will be found out." When the man said this, the ridicule on his face quickly dissipated, Become simple and honest, but also a little dull.
In the following days, every patrol team will pay special attention to the tourists from the lower tribe. It's just that every day has passed, and nothing abnormal has happened.
Soon, winter will pass, and in the past thousand years, the most significant sacrificial ceremony will begin.
