Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 272: Important things
Why did the tribe's ancestors put so many boxes here? It's not just a day or two away from the tribe. If there are no dangers between mountains and forests, it is not a long distance, but how many mountains and forests are separated by them. Of course, Shao Xuan is clear all the way through, even if it is thousands of years ago, it will not be much different.
Shao Xuan walked over with the torch, the boxes were tied with some straw ropes, presumably to prevent the lid from falling during transportation. However, if you take a closer look, it can be clearly seen that the binding methods used in several of the boxes are more complicated, and even the straw ropes used for bundling are different. The bundled straw ropes have also been tied into knots one by one, with different sections. The knots in the middle position have been painted with paint, which is the symbol of Shaman.
As for the others, the straw ropes used are relatively ordinary, but it cannot be said that the contents of these boxes must be unimportant, and those that can be carried here by the ancestors must have their important reservations. value.
Shao Xuan intends to look at those special boxes with knots first. However, he found that the knots were difficult to untie and the ropes were very strong, not as if they had been left for a long time, and the toughness remained.
Cut off? Burn out?
Forget it, if you let the tribe know, there will definitely be opinions that he is disrespectful to his ancestors.
Leaving a few knotted boxes aside, Shao Xuan turned to the other binding methods which are more common. raising his hand intends to untie the rope, but Shao Xuan just touched it with his hands, and the straw ropes bound to the box were broken, and the fracture was broken into powder.
Pinch the other places on the straw rope, this is the case. Perhaps because of too long, these straw ropes have lost their original toughness and are no longer strong.
The previous ones have high density and different ropes. Now these density are low. Shao Xuan has no pressure on the contents of the box.
Open the box and Shao Xuan will see many animal skin rolls neatly placed inside.
Shao Xuan picked up one, and spread it out. This record is about certain things that happened during Flaming Horn Tribe in a certain year, such as bumper harvests and disputes.
Pick up another one, which records the various wars between Flaming Horn Tribe and other tribes in a certain year, which also involves several familiar tribes of Shao Xuan, such as Thousand Faces tribe, Wei Ba Tribe, etc., as known by Shao Xuan Several of the Central Great Tribes are basically recorded.
Have Flaming Horn Tribe attracted hatred in the past?
But soon, after looking at other animal skin volumes, Shao Xuan found that his guess was wrong, not that Flaming Horn attracted hate value, but that era, everyone was particularly prone to hate. According to these animal skin volumes, the tribes are not as peaceful as they are now.
Perhaps for wanderers, it ’s very difficult to live outside already, especially those resting areas around market. The traveling teams of various tribes fight every day, and then hit the pond fish.
But compared to these on the animal skin volume, it's really nothing. Now at best it is only the contradiction between the traveling teams, but what is recorded in the animal skin volume is a large-scale conflict between the tribes. A small hit in three days, a dozen hit in ten days, just like eating.
Not pleasing to the eye? hit!
Personally? grab!
What good things do you see? Grab it again!
Everything is based on strength. If you can't beat it, you can grab it directly. If you can't beat it, you can steal it. Secretly, you can only steal it. If you don't give up, you will be the consequence of being killed.
It can be said that once, the survival of small tribes was extremely difficult. According to the records above, many small tribes were destroyed.
The middle part is even more confusing. Because there are many big tribes, and three days and two heads of war, today you raided a team of mine, tomorrow I will destroy your entire Warrior!
Even Shao Xuan always thought that Mang Tribe and Wei Ba Tribe, which are good neighbors and close partners, were like enemies before. Not to mention that a Mang Tribe bamboo appears on the border of Wei Ba Tribe, even if there is a spring onion that does not belong to his tribe, the people of Weiba have to be uprooted.
All the spiders and other things that Wei Ba Tribe enters Mang Tribe, as long as they are found, they are not released again, they are either slaughtered or eaten. Spiders are not delicious? All right, as long as the people watching Weiba are upset, they will be happy!
One of them, I do n’t know which future shaman ’s own notes. It ’s not so solemn, and it ’s a lot of bad tastes. It also wrote a lot of scandals from other tribes, such as who ’s corner was dug, who wears a green hat, who was squeezed out by his brother The position of leader ... is slightly exaggerated between the words, revealing gossip and excitement. Shaman is not as serious as the old man now.
A family's hatred can easily become a tribe's hatred. For such an era, war came too easily. And Flaming Horn's physical fitness and dominant strength value make many people grit their teeth and give others the impression of various rough rude and unreasonable. However, Shao Xuan can see from the recorded texts the pride and pride of the recorded people, no matter which one is recorded, most of them. As one of the former strong players, Flaming Horn does have pride and rude and unreasonable capital.
It's hard to imagine that the chaotic environment at the time has become much more stable now. although now looks still full of all kinds of brutal violence and killings, but compared with those recorded in these animal skin volumes It's a real difference.
Why did the tribe that couldn't understand each other now coexist peacefully? Shao Xuan also inquired when following the distant team together. I did not know for a long time. Anyway, in the past two or three hundred years, no major war has occurred. Except for Ten Thousand Stone Tribe, which has always harassed those small tribes, other large tribes in the middle have no One that really fought against each other.
Speaking of Ten Thousand Stone Tribe, turning to the present, Shao Xuan only saw the name of Ten Thousand Stone Tribe on two animal skin scrolls, and the future shaman that was also recorded predicted that its tribe would disappear in 500 years, but in fact, this branch rude and unreasonable is more ruthless and aggressive than Flaming Horn Tribe. It has survived to this day and has become one of the big tribes in central China.
Across the major tribes, abandon their former suspicions, let go of their hatred, and let alone peaceful coexistence. At least it seems that there is a cooperative relationship that can make them change like this. Shao Xuan only thought of the most likely answer. They have a common answer. The enemy, this enemy scares them. One or two tribes are not enough.
Flaming Horn Tribe? No, even though Flaming Horn Tribe was indeed strong, it was not strong enough to keep these tribes from holding back for so long.
There is also something that makes Shao Xuan strange. There is no record of Slave Master in it. At that time, there were prisoners, and those who were defeated would be dragged back to work, but there was no record of Slave Master, and none of them.
In addition to these, Shao Xuan turned over several other sturdy rope boxes, and learned a lot of information, not just wars between tribes but all aspects, such as farming and livestock related records.
The Flaming Horn Tribe a thousand years ago is also hunting-oriented. After all, it is close to mountain forests, and most of the food is taken directly from the mountain forests, but there are also plantations, just like the mural that was originally seen in Shao Xuan. There are planting, breeding, and picking ... All these records are on it, and there may be a part of the Shaman in the tribe now, but Shao Xuan believes that the records here are more detailed than those on Shaman.
If you think about it, when the ancestors of Flaming Horn left their homeland, they were mainly for fleeing. Naturally, there were not many records about planting and farming. Maybe they did n’t take it with them when they left, because they left , Did not expect to leave so long. The records of Shaman may be written by those who left later, based on their own experience.
There are too many animal skin rolls in the box. It is inconvenient for Shao Xuan to hold a torch in it, but also worried that the animal skin rolls will be damaged by the torch. Then the box was moved to the hole, and the light of the hole was opened one by one.
Shao Xuan does not doubt the authenticity of these. It is Shaman that records these. On some animal skin volumes that record important events, there are some seemingly meaningless words at the beginning. These are actually the language of Shaman. It needs to be recorded that if there are conflicts within the tribe, the decision will be given to Fire Seed and Totem. These seemingly meaningless words are actually a more solemn tone, indicating that these were decided by everyone or through sacrifices without any fraud.
In addition to farming, fishing, hunting, and animal husbandry, there are also handicrafts, horoscopes, architecture, medicine, war, political life and daily life. Many of the although records are relatively vague, and they ca n’t be described in detail. It can be seen that the tribe was not proficient at this time. For example, there are many records on astronomical and manual, which can only be considered immature, but seeing so many aspects For the record, let Shao Xuan shock.
What is important for Flaming Horn Tribe?
Fire Crystal? Various crystal stone Shell Money as property? Or other precious stones?
No, neither! To be honest, all these are to be ranked behind.
The more you know, the more clearly Shao Xuan knows what the Shaman of this tribe values.
In the tribe, the first thing is to understand your own clan members, origins, Totem, and so on; secondly, you need to include custom clan rules, important wedding and funeral, support leader, and discussion system. The major events are production, war, sacrifice and other activities. These are undoubtedly the contents that Shaman needs to record and pass on to future generations.
These are, in layman's terms, what people call "history"!
In Shaman's values, the longer "history" is, the longer this tribe's existence, the more it can prove the tribe's strength. As for why Flaming Horn's "history" protects existence here, maybe, because it was not taken back then, and it was feared of suffering, it was brought here to hide. After all, few other tribes dared to rush directly into Ominous Beast Mountain Forest.
The people in the cave have been dead for a long time, the only thing left is the kind of power that Shao Xuan felt before. It is a destructive force for the invaders, but for this cave, it is like a guardian, unchanged for thousands of years, staying here quietly, guarding the "history" of Flaming Horn, waiting for future generations to return.
However, Shao Xuan regrets that there is no detailed record of Fire Seed in the things he has seen. Maybe, the more distant things are sealed in the existence boxes that could not be opened.
Forget it, when you take it back, let the Shaman open and grind it with Shaman. As long as it is not a secret that can't be seen, Shaman should let him see it.
Shao Xuan thought about whether to take these boxes and the seven ancestors back now, and then said to the tribe people: Look, I found the ancestors again.
