Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 21: You are burning
This is the first time Shao Xuan has gone up the mountain.
The more high-ranking people in the tribe, the higher they live.
With the getting closer to mountain top, Shao Xuan felt the children beside him, as well as the leading cell and several other Warriors. As early as already, there was no randomness when he was down the mountain, and he became more restrained.
Shao Xuan When they arrived, already around Fire Pit gathered a lot of people. The place where people stand near mountain foot is far away from Fire Pit. It is distributed according to the place of residence. The closer Fire Pit is.
Fortunately, you are far away from although, but the terrain is high, and you can barely see the situation on the Fire Pit side.
What is the total number of tribes?
I didn't know it before, but now, Shao Xuan probably has an estimate in mind.
Today ’s ceremony everyone in the tribe must be present, whether you are sick in bed or have legs or legs that are inconvenient. Shao Xuan roughly estimated, the number is not less than one thousand people, it should be about fifteen.
It seems that there are not many people in Shao Xuan with more than a thousand people, but after coming to this tribe, Shao Xuan saw so many people for the first time and it was still very lively.
mountain top has an open space with a circular depression in the center, and a flame swaying in the wind in the middle of the depression.
Fire Pit.
This is the first time Shao Xuan has seen Fire Pit of this tribe. Very different from imagination.
Shao Xuan has wondered why the tribe's Fire Pit will be in mountain top, which is the coldest place in the whole mountain. Besides, the tribe already has relatively mature lighters, why is it still retaining Fire Pit? When everyone talked about Fire Pit, they were always in awe, looking at mountain top with unshakable piety.
Listen to the people of the tribe, Fire Pit, relationship are the rise and fall of the tribe. As for how the relationship method is, Shao Xuan has never learned from others. Now, I can only use my eyes to find the answer.
mountain top 偌 large piece place, enough to stand down the tribe owner.
The radius of the depression in the middle is four or five meters, but the small flame burning in the center of the depression is like ordinary candlelight, not bright, and it feels as soon as the wind blows. Moreover, in Fire Pit, Shao Xuan did not see any firewood or other things that could burn, and there were no combustion-supporting objects under the ignition seed.
There is Fire Seed which has been stored in Fire Pit.
There is also a circle of wooden stakes around Fire Pit. The wooden stakes are tall and thick. Each stone stake has a stone basin on it. Fresh meat, fruits, bird eggs and other things are stacked in the basin. It should be Offering tribute.
People are also standing beside the wooden stakes. Listening to the sounds of discussion around, Shao Xuan knows that those people are the most powerful hunting abilities in each Hunting Team, some are young, some are already are nearly middle-aged, a total of fifty people.
The faces of those people are also painted with the same patterns as the grids. The difference is that the colors of the faces on those faces are not just a single black, but also white and red. "There is a large antlers on his head, which are much larger than those of other people who came along and saw along Shao Xuan. Almost all of them are shrouded in the antlers.
Except for the Warrior with large antlers, the other ones did not give up. The original Shao Xuan thought it was exaggerated to see it on the way up the mountain. I didn't think there was more exaggeration here.
suddenly, the sound of discussion around is quiet, Shao Xuan looks at it.
It is the leader and Shaman that came, and the crowd automatically let go of the places they passed, with special respect.
The leader also wears heavy horns, and Shaman is lightly loaded. He doesn't wear anything too exaggerated. He just holds a cane, has a sloppy back, and wears a gray animal skin cloak.
This is the second time Shao Xuan has seen Shaman, and it feels not much different from when Caesar was raised last year.
Behind the leader and Shaman are the people most concerned about in this ceremony.
Almost eighty children, from the age of ten to fourteen, follow these leaders and Shaman behind them and come to the Fire Pit side by side.
Shao Xuan saw four people in the cave, including Mo Er.
When I was in the hole, the children were very irritable. Now they are as quiet as a good baby, with well-groomed hair, weaving some bone ornaments, and wearing sleeveless animal skin clothing. Since Shao Xuan understanding, they have never seen these people so neat.
"There are so many children this year." Someone whispered nearby.
"Yeah, there were thirty or forty last year, double this year."
"This is a good sign. With so much fresh blood added, our tribe is stronger."
"..."
People around are discussing, the group of children around Shao Xuan also whispered, envious, thinking about when they can stand in the place beside Fire Pit.
After waiting for a while, the preparations for the ceremony over there are done and the ceremony begins.
The leader is Ao, a very strong person. Hearing strength ranks among the top three in the tribe.
Ao first spoke a few words, talked about the gains of last year, and then looked forward to the future and boosted morale. previous life Shao Xuan listened to these similar words a lot, and didn't feel anything, but some people beside him were as excited as they were. After the boss said, they raised their arms and yelled twice, and a bunch of little cubs followed the roar and their faces turned red. .
After the leader has finished speaking, the next thing is Shaman. The ceremony is mainly based on Shaman.
Nearly eighty children are standing around Fire Pit, closer to Fire Pit than those Warriorss who were standing beside the stakes before.
Shaman holding a cane, holding his back, fighting to the edge of Fire Pit, spread his arms, and began to sing.
The scene suddenly became tense from the excitement just now, everyone closed their mouths tightly, and even took care to breathe, for fear of affecting the singing over there.
What Shao Xuan sung by Shaman did not understand, it seems that it is not the language that the tribe usually speaks, and the tone is strange.
However, weird is still behind.
With the singing of Shaman, the ignition seed in the middle of Fire Pit jumped and rolled, and under existence without any combustion-supporting objects, the flame became larger and wider, and the flame body became more and more high, until it spread to The edge of Fire Pit covers the entire recessed Fire Pit, and the flame body jumps to a height of three meters. At the same time, the top of the flame gradually shows a pattern composed of flames, which becomes more and more clear. The flame forms a bottom end connected to together, two horns that bends in the same direction, one inside and one outside, is surrounded by flashing flames around two horns.
The two horns Totem of the Correct tribe!
Fire Pit, the third one, Soaring Flame!
Soaring Flame, Totem now!
Not only Totem appears on Fire Pit, but also Totem Pattern on all Warriorss present.
Everyone is staring in the direction of Fire Pit, their eyes are pious.
time of day already completely darkened, the two curved moons appeared on both sides of the night sky. But mountain top at this time, because of the tumbling flames in Fire Pit, the surroundings were illuminated very brightly, covering a layer of red.
Shaman's chanting did not stop, but it became louder and louder. Then, a drumbeat was added, with a specific rhythm, including the sound of bone knock and stone strike.
Some people are clapping animal skin drums. The sound of the drums is high or low, but they are different from the sounds of some drums that Shao Xuan previous life has heard.
Knock, rock, drum beat.
The men and women Warriors standing beside the stakes also moved, joined in, chanting with Shaman, one after the other, spaced a certain distance from each other, forming a circle around Fire Pit, swinging their hands and feet.
It is an ancient dance that has been passed down since the tribe was established.
Shao Xuan remembers the words of a classmate who studied archeology, "Many tribes have their own ancient dances, which is also an important part of the sacrificial ritual of each tribe. It carries the tribal sacrifices in that particular era environment. The unique etiquette also conveys the worship of the tribe's ancestors. Such dances cannot be learned by anyone and can be danced according to the ancient teachings of the tribe.
Now, all those who are beating around Fire Pit are not only the elites of the tribe, but also those who are recognized by the tribe and qualified to dance the ancient dances at the sacrificial ceremony.
although seems to be funny in Shao Xuan, but such an award is really what everyone in the tribe wants. While in the cave, Shao Xuan did not listen to those little cubs fantasizing that one day they would become one of the members of the old ancient dance at the ritual ceremony.
The strange rhythm of the performance ca n’t be said. The individual sounds may be harsh or dull, but these syllables combined in together are very suitable for this situation. It should be like this. Here, The occasion such as time and place should be such a rhythm.
However, Shao Xuan cares more about those children who are standing by Fire Pit than old dance and special rhythm.
When the selected Warriors danced the old dance around Fire Pit, the flames in Fire Pit rolled up higher, and many flames flew from there.
Yes, fly out.
Sparkling sparks and flames flew directly from the Fire Pit side, floating in the air.
Fire Pit second encounter-Flying Flame!
And none of the children closest to Fire Pit avoided it, still standing there respectfully and letting those flames fly to them.
Shao Xuan stared over there with eyes wide open. After the flames flew to the children, they did not burn them, and did not even ignite their clothes, as if they melted directly into their bodies.
More and more flames are being incorporated, and the change that is following is that some children's unique lines gradually appear on Totem Warrior, and the more such lines become more and more clear with the more flames they touch. More and more perfect.
The boiling flame not only touched the children selected by Shaman around Fire Pit, but also spread to the edge of the gathering place. Many flames came from where Shao Xuan was sitting.
Looking at the flames getting closer, Shao Xuan reflexively wanted to avoid it, but he still calmed himself down. Since everyone else was not moving, it should not be as harmful as he thought.
Indeed, after the flames came into contact, Shao Xuan only felt a very comfortable warmth, but did not have a burning sensation.
Shao Xuan is now assured, staring at Fire Pit and continuing to watch, regardless of more and more flames flying over. Those children on the Fire Pit side are the luckiest people this year. They will gain the ability from the Fire Seed of Fire Pit to awaken Power of Totem. I don't know if the Mo Er of the three children and half of the people in the cave can successfully awaken.
Looking at it, the torture standing next to Shao Xuan hurriedly called his name.
"Ah ... Ah'Xuan! Ah'Xuan!"
"What?" Shao Xuan turned back and looked away from Fire Pit, only to find that the children around him looked at him like a hell.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan wondered. I just watched too much, just didn't pay attention to the surroundings.
The children next to me hurriedly retreated, still looking at Shao Xuan in horror.
Sputum swallowed and said, "You ... you're ..."
"What is it?" Shao Xuan is still a little confused, what does this say? What am I doing to me?
"You ... burned ..."
