Many people think that the pattern decorations on objects such as cups and tripods are purely just to serve as a mark. Shao Xuan also felt that before, but the deeper he came into contact with these things, Shao Xuan discovered that there were many mysterious things in it.

Just like the tripod in front of him, Shao Xuan originally thought that what was shown on this tripod was all about the great achievements or other heroic deeds of a slave owner in Amba City, or recorded some memorable things, but when he carefully observed, he found that there were many things that were incomprehensible.

Yes, these words alone do contain some of the glorious history of Amba City. Although Shao Xuan can't understand a few words, they do not affect his understanding of those words. They are words praising the ancient Amba tribe and a few congratulations. It would be fine if it were just these, but the cloud patterns on the tripod that seemed to serve as decoration or background always give Shao Xuan a very strange feeling.

Many tribes like this cloud pattern. The Hui tribes I came into contact with also like to use cloud patterns. Perhaps because these vortex-shaped cloud patterns can be used as decoration, they also have a sense of structural complexity and mystery, free and casual and diverse styles. The cloud pattern at the top of this cloud pattern is more slender and complex, and each cloud pattern vortex is rolled to the center. Some are like cirrus clouds, and some are like flowing clouds. The many cloud patterns are not simply a continuous structure of two consecutive up and down overlapping, but are combined in a more natural way.

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

At first glance, the pattern is quite beautiful. Although it is not as attractive as the larger words on the cauldron body, as long as you see the cloud patterns, you will be attracted to it. It is an indescribable visual impact.

As patterns, their purpose has been achieved, but is that really that all?

Shao Xuan stared at the patterns on the cauldron for a while, trying to copy the complex and dense cloud patterns. But there was no paper or anything else around, and using cloth was too luxurious. Shao Xuan got up and went out and found some wide and long leaves. Then he applied some pigment on the cloud patterns that were wrapped around the cauldron body, and printed them with leaves to make the patterns appear on the leaves. Then Shao Xuan copied the cloud patterns on a piece of cloth again.

Not only the cloud patterns on the body of the tripod, but also the cloud patterns on the three flat feet of the tripod. It is just different from the slender and complex cloud patterns on the body of the tripod. The cloud patterns on the flat feet are thicker and appear thicker and simpler.

Shao Xuan also printed the cloud patterns on the flat feet one by one, and then studied them slowly.

Zhengluo said that the person who made this tripod was a box man, and the box man liked to use cloud patterns. Moreover, as far as Shao Xuan knew, cloud patterns were one of the earliest patterns. It seems that every tribe that used cloud patterns had a very long history.

The flame pattern of the flame horn was born early, but it was not as wide as cloud patterns in use, because the cloud patterns were balanced, with a sense of movement, harmony, and overlapping patterns such as the two-sided continuous ones would not appear abrupt. However, the cloud patterns on the tripod cast by the boxer seemed to contain more.

It’s just that nothing is going to happen. It’s almost winter and going out will decrease. Shao Xuan will have more free time to study these things.

After copying all the cloud patterns on the cauldron body on two pieces of cloth, Shao Xuan also went to find Wu and asked about the use of some older texts here. However, Wu didn't know much, so he could only see things from hundreds of years ago from the records of his ancestors. However, the records passed down by Yanjiao were mostly written by Wu, and most of the words used on the other side, not the local text here.

Unable to get the help you want from the witch, Shao Xuan could only think about it himself first.

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

People's perceptions such as audiovisual, smell and taste, and their own functions have long been affected by the brain, and can have a subtle effect on people's creations, thus producing various arts and techniques. This sense of order is also fully reflected in the symbol patterns created, such as the cloud patterns that Shao Xuan has seen now.

Many, but not messy.

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

So, under order, what does such a complex combination cloud pattern represent?

Shao Xuan stared at the cloud patterns for a day, but couldn't see anything. After thinking, Shao Xuan went to the forest to pick up some leaves. The leaves fell on the ground had turned yellow and had not withered. The leaves were wider, and each one was larger than the palm of an adult and thicker.

After picking up the leaves, they are pressed and dried, sorted and stored for later use.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also made a square sand tray. The sand tray was not deep, about one square meter, and some fine sand was screened inside. Shao Xuan took the branches and drew it in the sand tray.

The combined complex cloud patterns seemed too difficult, so Shao Xuan tried to divide the cloud patterns into several pieces, draw them in the sand table, and separate them. Every time one was disassembled, the disassembled single cloud patterns were painted on a leaf.

It took five days before Shao Xuan dismantled the cloud patterns on the tripod. It was a brief dismantling. I don’t know if it is right or wrong, and no one told Shao Xuan right or wrong. The art has exaggerated and rendered, and the artistic nature of the pattern made it much more difficult for Shao Xuan to dismantle.

After thinking for five days, all the time was spent on dismantling except eating, drinking, defecation and urinating. After finally drawing the last cloud pattern, Shao Xuan was tired. He ate a big pot of mountain fruit and cooked broth with dark circles. After a good night's sleep, he walked out of the house.

Although the sun outside is not as bright as before, it is a bit dazzling for Shao Xuan who has been in the house for five days.

After coming back to his senses in a trance, Shao Xuan planned to go to other places at the foot of the mountain to relax his nerves. It may not be beneficial to keep it tight. Maybe he can also get some inspiration when walking around.

The weather has cooled down recently, and you can feel the temperature difference from the previous day almost every day.

Looking from the distance from the mountain, you could see many yellowed bushes five days ago, but now they are much more sparse.

Recently, people who went out to trade have returned. Not only those who took Duo Kang to trade in Amba City, but also those who went to other tribes to trade in cloth, silk fabrics or other things.

Some of the hunting meat was hung outside and dried. Walking down the road, Shao Xuan saw that there were many beast legs and heads hanging at each door.

Seeing a familiar figure, Shao Xuan shouted: "Shuming, what are you doing?"

While walking into the house with Guozi in his head, Shuning looked in the direction of Shao Xuan when he heard the sound and said happily: "Shao Xuan... Elder!"

Shao Xuan looked at the various fruits wrapped in large leaves in the Light, which were species that were rarely eaten in the tribe, and asked, "What are these for? Make soup?"

Some fruits cannot be eaten directly, so tribes use them as seasonings to make soup.

"No, this is for those tapir beasts." The light was full of redness when talking about this light.

Shao Xuan remembered that he brought back a nest of tapirs while hunting, including the big and small ones, and came back with a bag of mesh to raise the child for Lighting.

"Where is your brother? Not at home?" Shao Xuan glanced at the room and didn't see the adults.

"I went to chop wood with the others."

Zhaoming took Shao Xuan to see the tapirs he raised. The little tapir cubs were a circle larger than when Shao Xuan brought them back, and their hair grew thicker. The cooler the weather, the more hair the tapirs would have, which was conducive to preventing cold.

When they saw Shao Xuan coming, they squeezed towards their mother model, and the big and small were nesting in the corners piled with branches and dead grass.

"I'm very energetic, well-raised, and I can eat it if I get older." Shao Xuan looked at the tapirs and said.

"Xiao Bi's mother said that these tapir beasts will grow faster after winter. They eat less and grow slowly in winter." Thinking of something, Zhaoming said to Shao Xuan happily: "But when they grow up, I won't eat it anymore."

"Why?" Shao Xuan was puzzled. Don't these little kids often drool at the wild beasts raised in captivity? Why don't you eat them again?

Zhaoming smiled so hard that he showed his white teeth and didn't say anything, but on his face, some faint lines appeared, and the lines were gradually deepening, not as fast as Shao Xuan and the others, but it was indeed deepening steadily.

"Totem Pattern?!" Shao Xuan was surprised and then smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are about to become a totem warrior."

Although I have heard others say it before, it was the first time Shao Xuan saw tribes who did not awaken at the sacrificial ritual. Perhaps this is the difference caused by the disappearance of fire. The fire has been integrated into the bloodline of every flame horn man. As long as it touches the boundary of awakening, the power of the fire in the bloodline can help them awaken at any time without waiting for the sacrificial ritual.

As for what Zhaoming said, "Don't eat tapir beasts", of course, it is because after becoming a totem warrior, you can eat some higher-level beasts, such as ferocious beasts.

If you raise it, you can't eat it, but you can exchange something else with others, and it won't be a loss.

After walking around the foot of the mountain, Shao Xuan was called up the mountain by carrying a large bundle of firewood.

Before, because Shao Xuan hadn't gone out, it seemed like he was busy with something, so no one disturbed him. Now, when he saw Shao Xuan coming out to wander, he asked him to go up the mountain to talk.

After getting along for a long time, Guangyi's face-blind face finally got an impression of Shao Xuan. Even if he still had a blurry face, he could recognize Shao Xuan as long as he saw the bone ornament that Shao Xuan was wearing.

"Winter is coming soon. The witch said that snow will start to fall within three days. The leader is discussing winter hunting these two days." Guangyi told Shao Xuan.

Generally speaking, there will be no heavy snowfall when winter begins here. The tribe will also organize a hunting event and will not go out when it is heavy snow.

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

"I'll go hunting." Shao Xuan said. He also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt a better prey and make a sacrificial beast suit to participate in the sacrificial ritual.
