Chapter 398: Fire Pond Synchronization
After the snowfall, the forest was covered with a layer of white.
Shao Xuan followed the hunting team to hunt. Most of the beasts with thick skin but no hair came out in winter, and most of them hunted long haired animals that could be made into furs.
Because of the participation of elder Shao Xuan, there were many people participating in this winter hunting, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
In addition to hunting, Shao Xuan also went to the dry riverbed to fish some stones and came back. When he was free, he made some glowing crystals for everyone to illuminate. It would be darker in winter nights, and those crystals would also make it easier for everyone to move.
During winter hunting, Shao Xuan hunted a long-haired giant beast as a sacrificial beast.
When the snowfall in the mountains and forests increases and the snow flakes become larger, the tribe's people no longer go out, and the river surrounding the tribe has also frozen. You don't have to put a bridge to go, just walk directly from above. The tribe's children like to slide on it.
For tribes, winter means boredom. Every day, they gather together in groups of three or five to gesture, exercise their muscles and teach those new soldiers. They cannot go out to hunt, but can only use other methods to vent their strong energy.
Most of the time, Shao Xuan stayed in the house to study the cloud patterns, occasionally came out to do things, and then went to study. Sometimes he would ask the craftsmen of the tribe who moulded bronze ware. Their skills came from ancestors, who learned from other places, and then summarized their own experiences, passed down from generation to generation. They had an understanding of the casting or forging styles of each faction, and had a lot of contact with the works of the boxer.
However, the craftsmen of the tribe knew less about the cloud patterns that Shao Xuan asked about. The caster gave Shao Xuan some notes from his ancestors. Because the craftsmen organized them themselves, they were more messy than those left by Wu Cun, and some were missing, or they were not clear about them. Shao Xuan could barely read them.
To express his gratitude, Shao Xuan gave them a few glowing water rhinostones, which made the craftsman very happy.
Winter was spent studying cloud patterns and making water sun stones. When Shao Xuan heard the cheers outside, he realized that winter had actually passed.
The winter here comes late, and it is not long to hunt at all, which makes Shao Xuan unable to react when he hears the noise outside.
"It actually passed so soon!" Shao Xuan stood up and shook the leaves on his body, and pushed the door out.
Because of Shao Xuan, some families in the tribe also used water and sunstone. Even on the night without moon, in addition to the fire, you can also see some bright light.
Now, the two disappearing crescent moons in the sky have appeared again. After this, the sky will be illuminated by them in the next year.
When the moon comes out and winter passes, the first thing for the tribe is sacrifice.
The place where they are located is different, but the time is synchronized, without saying one day and the other on the night. No matter which Yankee tribe, it is based on the moon in the sky as a reference, but I don’t know if the specific time is the same.
After the witch finalized the time and informed him, the tribe began to get busy and prepare for the sacrifice. Shao Xuan, the only elder of the two branches, has a second only status to the witch and the leader, and of course it is very important in the sacrifice.
In the past year, the awakened young warriors will be in a higher position during the sacrifice, because from today on, they will officially become part of the tribe's combat power. Even if they cannot start hunting immediately and need to go through a period of adaptation and training, they should have the awareness of becoming a strong man and cannot continue to walk around like children all day long.
As night fell, all members of the tribe gathered.
The fire in the fire pit has been ignited by the witch, Shao Xuan, Wu and the leader Zheng Luo, who were standing at the closest location to the fire pit.
Looking at the flames in the fire pit, as the witch chanted more and more, Shao Xuan suddenly felt like the flames were rising on the other side of the distance, and he couldn't help but look in that direction. On the other side of the distant sea, the old place of the ferocious beast forest, tonight should be the day of sacrifice for the tribe.
There is no communication, but there is a sense of harmony.
The witch originally thought that during today's sacrifice, would the flame giant appear again in the ancestral bone ornament? But as she sang, she found that the flames in the fire pit were particularly active today, and were even more powerful than the day when welcoming Shao Xuan.
What's going on?
The witch shared some of her attention and focused on the flames in the fire pit.
Since the fire disappeared, the huge changes in the flames in the fire pit have only occurred twice, once when welcoming Shao Xuan last year, and once, now.
call--
No wind and flames rise.
It was like a giant beast that woke up from hibernation, roaring with its sharp claws.
The flame rolled up and the totem at both angles appeared clearly. This time, it was much clearer than when welcoming Shao Xuan last year.
Such changes also surprised the tribes who were following the fire pit. They had never seen such changes.
But Shao Xuan has seen it, and has seen it more than once.
The Three Flames in the Fire Pond, the First Flame-Yanteng!
As if confirming Shao Xuan's guess, soon, the flames in the fire pit suddenly rose up, and it felt like they were soaring straight into the sky. At the same time, many flames in the fire pit flew out from there. It was lighter than the flames in Shao Xuan's memory. It was more like the shadows reflected by the flames.
Looking at the sparks and clusters of flames flying out one after another, the tribe was shocked and didn't know what to do.
"This is..."
The witch looked at the situation in front of her and murmured without saying a word. At this moment, she had a guess and turned her gaze to Shao Xuan, hoping to get the answer from Shao Xuan.
"The second flame of the fire pit - Yanfei!" Shao Xuan said softly.
synchronous!
The fire pits on both sides are synchronized!!
Even though the situation on both sides is different, at this moment, at the sacrificial ceremony tonight, the two fire pits were synchronized!
On the four bone decorations worn on Shao Xuan's body, the red round beads emitted fire. As last time, the erupted flames wrapped around it, and then formed a flame giant rising from the ground.
Because of the previous experience, everyone should be calm this time, but were shocked by the flying flames like shadows. This was the first time they met in their lives.
Unfamiliar, but inexplicably closeness in my heart.
The tall flame giant slowly turned around and looked in one direction, which was also the direction Shao Xuan was looking at before.
At the same time, in another place far away, in the mountains of ferocious beasts.
The Yanjiao tribe members who were worshipped tonight were Shao Xuan who had been worried about disappearing for a long time. Since the desert and Shao Xuan disappeared, Wu also sent someone to inquire. It took a lot of effort to find out that Shao Xuan was chased and jumped into the sea. He never appeared again after he went down. For this reason, Yanjiao almost launched a war on the desert, but later everyone was recalled by Wu.
"A Xuan is still alive." Wu was holding a box with the elder bone ornament and told everyone with certainty.
Tonight, many people also thought of Shao Xuan, but what they didn't expect was that a flame giant suddenly appeared in the fire pit!
If Shao Xuan is here, everyone can calm down if the flame giant appears, but Shao Xuan is not here now!
The flame giant that appeared did not show any other signs because of the kneeling of everyone. The figure composed of huge flames slowly turned towards one direction.
The witch saw the light emitted from the box containing the elder's bone decoration, and her hands were shaking excitedly, almost shaking out the bone decoration in the box.
"He found it! Ah Xuan must have found them!"
Others did not understand Wu's words, but only knew that Wu's meaning was that Shao Xuan was still alive, which was enough.
"When will we return?" Wu said tremblingly.
Others thought that Wu was talking about Shao Xuan, but the leader Ao, who was standing next to him, knew that this sentence contained more than one Shao Xuan.
After the sacrifice, no matter which branch of the person he was from, he was not at peace.
The Yanjiao people in the ferocious beast forest were thinking about when Shao Xuan would come back, and the witch and the leader wondered whether Shao Xuan had really found another Yanjiao people. On the other side of the sea, everyone was also thinking about what the direction the flame giant looked at, what the ancestors wanted to convey, and some people guessed the reason and couldn't sleep all night.
The leader Zhengluo specially sent a team of people to join Shao Xuan to the coast where Shao Xuan landed to see if there was a submarine passage, but the result was that he returned disappointed.
Not to mention the safe passage, Shao Xuan didn't even see the undersea passage when he came. It was probably because the time had not come, and they were not in the way.
Even if they meet, Shao Xuan feels that apart from him, there may not be many people who can spend it safely.
It is impossible to say that it is not disappointed. Even if there is already a rich civilization here, you can live well if you stay here. However, Shao Xuan still wants to go back and take the Yanjiao people here with him.
Shipbuilding? Not to mention whether it is possible to build a ship that can support such long-distance sailing with today's skills, there seem to be many giant beasts in the sea, and they can all overturn it with just one tail, which is no less dangerous than the Haitian channel.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan felt that it would be great if the "bridge" at the bottom of the sea rose, so that everyone could go directly from one continent to another, just like it was a thousand years ago.
Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.
Forget it, wait for the opportunity, or find other ways.
When I rushed back to the tribe from the beach where I landed, the weather was already very warm. Some people had already begun to try to plant in small fields in the tribe. Even if they didn’t plant much, it was worth it as long as they could grow things and relieve food pressure. Besides, the witch also told everyone that hunting is important, but planting is also important, and this skill cannot be abandoned.
There was still some time before the next hunt. Looking at the busy people in the fields, Shao Xuan asked experienced growers some related questions. He remembered that he actually had something in his hand.
Shao Xuan had a little bit of the "thousand grains of gold" that Tong Jiju snatched from the rat group. He also thought about planting it when he brought it back, but it was already the end of the year and there were other things to do, so Shao Xuan never thought of it again.
I took out the bag containing the grains. The grains had been sunburned by Shao Xuan, and they looked no longer as bright as they were at first, and the husks were a little dark.
