Chapter 224 The Book of Contract
In the next few days, Xu Chen hid in his room and wrote and painted almost all day long.
The women who came to learn how to spin and weave cloth left with their escorts by several hunters. They first went to the Wu tribe, and then were escorted by the Wu tribe's hunters back to their respective tribes.
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.
The Wu family has a great family and many men, so Xu Chen took this opportunity to mobilize and cooperate. I think they would not have any objections, and they might even be very happy. After all, it is not common to hold Xu Chen's thighs. Only after helping more will there be more benefits.
After these women left, the empty pergola and stone houses in the kiln factory were almost able to temporarily settle all the captured men and women.
My mother began to formally take over the management of these women, selected several well-behaved and obedient women as deputys, and then led them to officially start the activities of building a new home.
After a brief familiarity with the environment, all the men quickly devoted themselves to the construction of the second phase of the courtyard project, picking up stones, mud, laying bricks, and logging wood. Under the leadership of a group of Ba people's craftsmen, they began labor reform.
According to Xu Chen's instructions, Feng temporarily selected ten people from the captured men and organized them into the team for military training.
These ten people are not the strongest, but look honest and honest.
Although there was a warning from the great witch of the Gonghuo Clan, Xu Chen still did not dare to take these savages who were completely unfamiliar with them, and he was still cautious.
These people cannot touch any offensive weapons such as spears, bows, and arrows on weekdays.
And when working, there will be a Ba hunter wearing armor and holding sharps on the spot to monitor and supervise it all day long.
Under the strong mental pressure and force suppression, all the prisoners acted very honestly, working after dinner and sleeping before dark. They were as regular as kindergarten children. Occasionally, some of the thorny heads jumped a few times, and they were quickly beaten to howl.
The great witch of the Gonghuo tribe watches and studies back and forth in front of the house and on the construction site every day. Naturally, he will not be abusive to these thorns. When he encounters a beaten tribe, he will not only not help, but will even come forward and scold them loudly.
After several times, all the prisoners completely realized the reality and became honest and obedient. All the construction projects were gradually getting on track as they became familiar with each other.
Xu Chen finally got a result after a few busy days. He wrote the agreement reached between him and the Gonghuo Clan into a sheepskin book, and also made a Great Witch Seal for the old witch representing the Gonghuo Clan Alliance.
The sheepskin creek book is written in viscous ink made of heated rosin and graphite, and the text is made of a pictogram complex created by Xu Chen.
No old witch knew any of these words.
Therefore, when Xu Chen told her that the text contract had been written and gave it to her, and when he looked at the strange text symbols on the sheepskin, the old witch was frightened and excited.
What was frightened was that these words were said to be created by Xu Chen according to the guidance of God, and could correspond to each symbol one by one, completely like a book of heaven, which was much more complicated than the inheritance of the great witch with only dozens of runes she obtained in total.
This shows that the power of the gods who bless the Ba tribe is extremely powerful and irresistible.
Excited, it turns out that this magical creative method can be used to record text, symbols and other content on the animal skin.
Animal skins are much more convenient and simpler than recording what you see and think on a stone wall, and are also easy to store and carry and read. You no longer have to worry about insufficient space on the stone wall, and will cover up one generation after another.
So holding this animal hide book, the old witch lost control again, holding her hands in her hands and standing unsteadily.
The innovation and creativity of the Ba people are everywhere.
Just this small change can affect the inheritance habits of all tribes and witches in the world.
Xu Chen knew that the old witch couldn't understand these words, so he asked her to sit by the fire pit and gesture and explain to her word by word. For some of the simple words, he would draw charcoal strips on the stone bricks along the edge of the pond to explain.
After this, after the explanation of a book of contract, the old witch had a relatively systematic understanding and cognition of this hieroglyph, and was no longer in a state of darkness.
Because the basis of hieroglyphs is the shape of a burning flame, and Ba is the coiled snake.
Whether the content and discussion are exactly the same as the old witch can't judge at the moment, but at least through these words and this covenant book, she saw that the era of a great witch is coming.
After all, the essence of witch is inheritance.
Use language, symbols, and graphics to record what they see, think and think, and constantly accumulate to form a kind of wisdom crystal inheritance, and eventually become a river-like spiritual belief, guiding the integration, development and growth of tribes and all human beings.
Witches have never been self-confidence.
They are always working hard to learn and improve.
Even if they are hostile tribes, they will communicate and learn from each other at the witch level.
Because once the witch stops learning and progress and cannot understand God's revelation, the tribe will gradually decline and decline without God's guidance.
"This is your witch seal!"
Xu Chen finally put a gold-made witch seal ring on the old witch's hand.
This gold ring weighs several taels, with a round flame symbol on the front and four words "Wu Wangchen" on the back.
Xu Chen also explained the positive and negative symbols and characters carefully to her, and said that all the contracts signed by the Gonghuo Clan and other tribes in the future must be stamped with this witch seal to be valid.
The same is true for the book of deeds in front of you.
Xu Chen asked a pair of twin little witches to join in and witness the signing of the first contract between two different tribal alliances.
When the twin sisters came in with their respective scepters, Xu Chen had already prepared the red ink to sign the contract.
The ink paste is placed in a fist-sized pot. It is made of several materials such as cinnabar, pine resin, gum, musk, etc. mixed and repeatedly mashed. When used, take a small piece and heat it with a pottery spoon and drip it on the animal skin, then cover it with a witch seal. After it is dried and cooled, it will be a bright red solid mark.
Because rosin has strong stickiness and can be firmly stuck to the rough animal skin. As long as it is not deliberately scraped off with sharp objects, it can be maintained for a long time.
This is a result that Xu Chen has already verified.
In the Fire Pond Room, there are only three witches representing both tribes and a guy who is self-proclaimed witch king.
After listening to Xu Chen explaining the signing ceremony and content, the twin little witches showed an expression of excitement and surprise on their faces.
The entire Ba people are already very familiar with Xu Chen's writing with animal skins.
The Ba tribe does not lack animal skins, so Xu Chen can do extravagance and waste. Moreover, Xu Chen uses some animal skins that cannot be worn. Apart from mattress pocket leather boots and leather armor, it is not very useful.
The twin sisters came to the Ba tribe for a few days and were already familiar with Xu Chen's new recording method. Now there are a lot of animal skins filled with words on Xu Chen's desk in the room.
However, Xu Chen used animal skins to record the compensation agreement reached by both parties and also required both parties to witness and sign a contract, which was a brand new creativity.
The agreements reached between tribes have been verbal communication and recognition, and are maintained by the integrity of both parties. Although the gods will not favor liars, who can tell this clearly?
It’s like this time the Gonghuo tribe raided the Cang tribe.
At the beginning, the two tribes communicated and reached an oral contract of mutual restraint and peaceful coexistence.
But after the death of the great witch of the witch clan, the Gonghuo clan destroyed this promise.
Perhaps the failure of the Gonghuo Clan this time is the punishment of not complying with the contract.
The old witch took the golden witch ring that Xu Chen gave him and was filled with depression. At the same time, she sighed. Once she signed the contract made with animal skins and words, it would be much more difficult to regret it in the future.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
At present, she had no room for any mistake except to be a stamped witch under Xu Chen's guidance.
Xu Chen used a pottery spoon to heat the cinnabar ink paste slightly on the charcoal fire to a melting state, dripping it on the blank space of the animal skin contract. Then, under his guidance, the old witch gently pressed it on it with his golden witch seal, and took it away for a moment, and a three-dimensional flame mark appeared on it.
“Wow!”
The twin sister widened her eyes in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
The heated ink scent emits a strong fragrance.
The color also made her very familiar with it.
It was almost the same as the red mud that my mother secretly smeared on her back shoulder when she was on the Uk tribe last time.
Xu Chen secretly squeezed her eyes, then took out two golden rings and handed them to the twin sisters.
"I have a ga too!" My sister took it in surprise.
"In the future, all witches must have their own seals. When each witch signs a contract on behalf of their own tribe and foreign tribes, they must stamp the witch seals to be valid. These contracts will be protected by God. Any witches and tribes that violate the contract will be punished by the gods!"
Xu Chen said righteous words, but his face couldn't help but twitched slightly a few times.
I was so blatant and nonsense that I would be punished by the gods.
He was originally an atheist, but after being with these witches who were talking all day long, he always felt that there was an eye in the sky looking at him.
The Wu tribe's witch seal is in the shape of a bird on the front, representing a crow. The back also contains four words given by Wu Wangchen.
Xu Chen didn't know which word Wu is from the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe's people themselves couldn't explain it clearly, so Xu Chen could only treat them as the Crow tribe.
The front of the Ba tribe's witch seal looks like a snake, but there are two words "Big Witch" next to it, and the back is still four words "Witch King Chen".
Under Xu Chen's guidance, the twin little witches were excited and serious about putting their own witch seal on the animal skin contract.
Looking at the three bright red three-dimensional seals on it, the three witches breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the ceremony is simple, it is full of a mysterious feeling that has never been experienced before.
