Chapter 56: Tribal Settlements

"Herba Priest, I don't understand what you mean, we are indeed Strangers, but what about the Valley of Death you are talking about?" Zhang Yuan asked suspiciously.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, Sacrificial Hurba also secretly wondered if he had guessed wrong, "So what are you here for?"

"We came here by accident, and we've been drifting on the sea before, so we're asking the Herba priest to take us in for the time being. ”

Although Herba didn't fully believe Zhang Yuan's words, after thinking about it, he still agreed to Zhang Yuan's request, turned around and led Zhang Yuan and the three of them towards the residence of the Uralu tribe.

Zhang Yuan and the three followed behind Hurba and walked towards the depths of the dense forest, while the other savages were vaguely surrounding Zhang Yuan and the others in the middle, obviously until Zhang Yuan and the three were friends, the surveillance of the three would not be revoked.

Before, Zhang Yuan felt that there was a trace of fanaticism on the savages around him, and he suspected that it was because the savages were all in a state of being ready to fight at all times, so the fanatical emotions could improve their combat effectiveness, but at this moment, the two sides had temporarily put down the hostility, so Zhang Yuan felt the surrounding savages again.

However, the frenzy did not subside, but Zhang Yuan discovered a strange thing, in front of Zhang Yuan and the three of them, leading the way was a young girl supporting the Helba sacrifice, but in Zhang Yuan's perception, in front of him, only the emotional fluctuations emanating from the girl, and the Herba sacrifice seemed to have become one with the whole heaven and earth, without any emotions at all.

It was the first time that Zhang Yuan had encountered someone who had no mood swings at all. According to the understanding of the imprint, as long as a person can think, then he will have a trace of emotion to a greater or lesser extent, unless he is like the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who regards all things in heaven and earth as dogs, so that he can always maintain no emotions.

But the Helba sacrifice in front of him had absolutely no Hongjun's ability, and he couldn't feel his emotions at the moment, which made Zhang Yuan surprised inexplicably.

Taking back his perception, Zhang Yuan did not believe in evil and released his immortal consciousness again, and the surrounding environment clearly appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind, but it was even stranger than emotional perception, the image in Zhang Yuan's mind, at this moment in front of him was a girl doing some strange movements, and Hurba's sacrifice was completely lost in the image in his mind, and there seemed to be no such a person.

Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and looked carefully at Hurba in front of him, and found that Herba was just an ordinary old man, and there was nothing strange about it, Zhang Yuan frowned and walked a few steps quickly, and came to Helba's sacrificial side.

"Herba, please forgive me for taking the liberty of pleasing you, can you ask what kind of exercises you are practicing?" Zhang Yuan asked respectfully.

Herba glanced at Zhang Yuan with a smile, obviously knowing Zhang Yuan's doubts, "We people from the Lalu tribe don't have any cultivation methods, we think that all the power of human beings comes completely from the nature of heaven and earth, so we only need to get close to nature and sacrifice to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth will naturally give us strength." Do you not see me in the immortal consciousness, this is the ability that heaven and earth have naturally given me. ”

Herba said something, but Zhang Yuan didn't understand it, I don't know what Hellba said, get close to nature, sacrifice heaven and earth, is it just this way to get this ability, Zhang Yuan is a little unconvinced, thinking that Herba must not want to tell his secret.

After that, the journey was much quieter, although Zhang Yuan and his party had more than sixty people, but as they got closer to the settlement of the primitive tribe, the whispering of the wild people around Zhang Yuan gradually stopped, leaving only the slight sound of stepping on the ground in the quiet forest.

The houses in the primitive tribal settlements were all made of some wood, and after the roof was covered with some thatch, it was a simple house.

The houses are distributed in a circle, the closer to the center, the higher the house, and the identity of the occupants is also higher, in the center of the tribe is a hundred meters high tree, it takes seven or eight people to join hands to enclose a circle, obviously this giant tree has been growing for thousands of years.

In front of the tree was a platform made of large wooden planks, on which lay an incense burner carved out of stone, but instead of burning incense, two elderly women kept putting some damp leaves into it, causing some white smoke to rise.

After Zhang Yuan and the three of them followed the Herba sacrifice to the tribe, they first came to the giant tree, and after the Herba sacrifice stepped on the platform, he knelt down to the giant tree, and narrated it in the local language of the Hurlalu tribe, and then took some damp leaves from the side and threw them into the stone incense burner, and after worshipping a few more times, the Herba sacrifice retreated from the platform.

"Three, since you have come to our tribe, I hope you can respect our customs and stand still on the altar for a few minutes. The Herba priest who came down from the platform said to Zhang Yuan and the others.

Of course, Zhang Yuan had no objections to Hirba's proposal, after all, the three of them came to someone else's territory, and it was also appropriate to respect their customs, so he nodded and agreed.

At this time, it seemed that the rest of the tribe heard the news of the return of the Herba priest and the others, so they unconsciously came out of their room, gathered in front of the altar, and looked at Zhang Yuan and the others with some excitement.

Seeing the excitement in the eyes of the savages around him when they looked at him, Zhang Yuan was grateful for the hospitality of the inhabitants of this primitive tribe, so he smiled at the people gathered around him, and walked towards the altar first.

However, when Zhang Yuan and the three of them walked on the altar, they regretted it a little, the three of them stood stupidly on the altar, and the audience was full of excited and fanatical people, Zhang Yuan wanted to say something, but he thought that even if he said it, the people in the audience couldn't understand it at all, and he had already said before he went on stage that he needed to stand quietly on the altar for a period of time, so Zhang Yuan thought about it, it was better not to speak.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the few minutes that Herba said would be so long, and he had been standing quietly on the altar for almost a quarter of an hour, and Herba still had no intention of ending, so Zhang Yuan and the three of them could only continue to stand quietly, and continue to endure the naked eyes of everyone in the audience.

When half an hour was about to pass, Zhang Yuan found that his patience was about to run out, so he wanted to ask the Hurba priest how long he still needed to stay on the stage, but Zhang Yuan's words had just come to his lips, and everyone in the audience took the lead in cheering, and seeing the happy look on the faces of everyone in the audience, Zhang Yuan became more and more embarrassed.

When everyone began to cheer, the Herba priest finally spoke, at this moment the Herba priest's face was also filled with a happy look, it seemed that Zhang Yuan respected their customs so much at the moment, it was the best gift that Zhang Yuan brought to everyone, "Distinguished guests, now you can come down, I will arrange a place for you to stay later, you rest first, and when it is time to eat, I will send someone to inform you." ”

After the Herba priest finished speaking to Zhang Yuan, he turned around and said a local word to the girl beside him, and when everything was arranged, he turned around and left alone.

"Mountain, please!"

The girl is the second primitive tribesman who can speak Huaxia, on the road before, the girl didn't say a word, Zhang Yuan originally thought that she also couldn't understand what she said, so she could only face it silently, but at this moment after saying a word of Huaxia from the girl's mouth, Zhang Yuan knew that he had guessed wrong, although the girl's Huaxia language was not standard, and the three were read as mountains, but there was no problem with simple communication between the two sides.

"Girl, I don't know what to call you?" asked Zhang Yuan with a smile.

Zhang Yuan's question made the girl's face change greatly, as if Zhang Yuan said something heinous, the girl first looked left and right, and made sure that no one else heard Zhang Yuan's question, and then said to Zhang Yuan in a low voice: "You still don't ask such a question, if the Herba priest hears it, he will think that I have lost my patience and want to get Hurba's name in advance, now I don't have a name at all, only when I become a real sacrifice, I can call Helba." ”

Although the girl's words were not very clear, Zhang Yuan still understood the meaning, in their primitive tribe, except for the Herba sacrifice, other people are not qualified to have a name, and the girl in front of her is the inheritor of a tribal sacrifice, but the inheritor and ordinary residents in general, do not have their own name, only after the current sacrifice Hurba dies, the girl in front of her can become the next tribal sacrifice Hurba, so Zhang Yuan asked the girl for her name at this moment, the girl would feel scared, after all, if the Herba sacrifice heard the conversation between Zhang Yuan and the girl, will definitely think that the girl has wanted to replace him, how can Hurba let go of the power in his hands before his death, so if the girl has a disobedient heart, Hurba will definitely punish her severely.

"Excuse me, when are you going to eat?" Zhang Yuan asked again, the reason why Zhang Yuan came to the tribe this time was actually just to explore the fanatical emotions of the tribe residents, and he didn't want to stay longer, after all, Long Ba was still waiting for him at the moment, how could he delay here for too long, so he asked the girl about the time of eating, hoping to get the answer he wanted when they ate together, but if the time for eating was still long, Zhang Yuan decided to leave, and he didn't have a lot of time to spend here.

"In another hour, God will enjoy ...... with us"
