Chapter 5: Training the Tribe (2)

"Is the sacrifice crazy? Before the sun comes out, he brought us to dig grass, isn't this stuff eaten by rabbits and antelopes?

A dark-faced man looked at the grass that the old priest had instructed them to dig in his hand, and he was completely confused.

Although the tribesmen are also omnivores, they often pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger when they can't hunt prey. But I don't know anything about herbs at present.

I don't understand the meaning of the old priest's doing.

And what about the old sacrifices? On weekdays, they also maintain mysteries and develop a habit, and they don't explain much about this.

But let these pious and obedient people do as he commands, until the sun rises and shines on the earth. Then he returned to the tribe with a large number of herbs that could be used.

"Sacrifice, did you bring back so much grass to feed those antelopes?"

The tribe now knows how to raise livestock, and now when the old priest came back with a pile of grass after a busy morning, some curious people came up with a hippie smile.

But when the old priest heard this, he was glared, and when he came up, he gave the hippie-smiling man a stick. Then he put on the majesty of his sacrifice and drank away all the people around him who were watching the excitement, and returned to his abode with these herbs.

So three days later, after the herbs were dried and processed, in addition to praying, the old priest appeared in front of the clan in full costume.

However, wearing a costume, in fact, is to put a lucky tiger skin on himself. This is the most precious thing of the old sacrifice, and I am not willing to wear it on weekdays.

Every time I wear it, it must be when the tribe encounters something big.

Therefore, when they saw him wearing this tiger skin, the clansmen knew that the old priest must have something important to say.

So call friends, and after a while, hundreds of people from the tribe will arrive.

At this moment, they gathered in the open space of sacrifice and prayer, which was also in front of Liang Tian, the so-called god of giant trees. Seeing the old priest wearing a tiger skin and holding a wooden stick, he first kowtowed in the direction of Liang Tian, then turned around and said with a serious face: "A few days ago, I met the great god of the giant tree in a dream!"

"Wow!"

It's a fierce material.

Although the old priest often boasted that he could talk to the god of the giant tree. But it's the first time I've said such things as seeing God in a dream.

Therefore, the clansmen couldn't help but talk about it, until the old priest raised his hands and greeted him, and these people present closed their mouths and quieted down, and listened attentively to the old priest with excitement and pride: "It was in this square under our feet that I saw God in my dream. and was taught by God. ”

"This, sacrifice. You say you saw God, but what does God look like?"

The curious asked, apparently more concerned about "what kind of posture would their god have in addition to the giant tree in front of him" than "what did the god teach the old priest?"

However, the old priest was not annoyed by this, but said with a look of awe: "God has hands and feet just like us in our dreams. It's just that the whole body exudes a white and flawless light, which is impossible to look at.

And the god has always been accompanied by a tall white wolf, it is the guardian of the guardian god, and it is the most loyal servant of the god!"

"Whoop!!

When they heard this, the people present began to talk again.

In a tribe where writing has not yet been invented, people's imagination is still scarce. Although the description of the gods in the mouth of the old priest is simple, it is beyond the imagination of most people.

Therefore, these people involuntarily believed the words of the old priest, and felt that what the old priest said was true, and that God was indeed like this in his dreams.

However, at this moment, there are those who believe in these words, and there is naturally no shortage of people who doubt or even do not believe.

And these people did not doubt the existence of God, but only suspected that the old priest had lied on this issue.

But in their cognition, God is the giant tree in front of them, whether in reality or in dreams, it should be like this.

Therefore, they did not agree with the old priest's statement, and the eyes that looked at the old priest were also suspicious.

But with some people in the tribe who had prayed to the gods as an errand in the past, the old priest had already expected this scene. Then they all raised their arms excitedly and shouted, "In my dream, the god of the giant tree mercifully taught me the knowledge of expelling diseases. From now on, those terrible diseases will never be able to bother us again!"

The god stick attribute attacked, and it was a big blow at the moment.

Although the old priest at this moment is just the level of a wandering man, if he doesn't exaggerate, how can he establish prestige among the tribe.

Besides, he had already done his homework. He understood that there were only three patients in the tribe now, one was sick with bad food, and the other was fever and headache, all of which were diseases that he could treat. In line with his trust in Liang Tian, the old priest is full of confidence.

Therefore, looking at the tribesmen who were in an uproar after hearing this, the old priest who had prepared early waved his hand, and said excitedly and confidently: "Carry all those who are sick out of their homes!"

Although today's tribes are ignorant of medical knowledge, they also know that some diseases are contagious based on the experience they have passed down by word of mouth. Therefore, those in the tribe who are sick are often confined to their homes and do not have too much contact to avoid infection.

But now with the endorsement of the respected old priest, the curious and excited clansmen immediately carried the three sick people out of their homes.

Then the old priest, who had already done his homework, pretended to inquire about the illness of these people, and went back to the house to decoct the medicine without hurrying.

So the hundreds of tribesmen in the open space waited for nearly an hour around the three patients who were still confused, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the room with three bowls of decoction.

This is not the first time he has decocted potions, and in order to prevent accidents, the old priest secretly tried it once by himself before. In the end, I even tasted the medicine I had decoctioned.

It felt fishy and bitter, and I almost thought I had made a mistake in that step.

It wasn't until he remembered that there was a sentence in the knowledge that Liang Tian taught him, "Good medicine is bitter", that he had confidence.

Now he swaggered to the patient with three bowls of medicine and came to the patient, and immediately handed over the three bowls of steaming medicine to the three patients.

This is what can banish the disease and restore your health, which God calls "medicine." Now, drink the medicine while it's hot. ”

“......”

The three patients looked at each other, smelled the medicine with a strong bitter taste in the bowl, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, they forcibly endured the bitter taste and drank the medicine in the bowl.

Then the three of them bared their teeth and couldn't help but say a few times "It's really bitter".

"Oh, I said it's so dark, this medicine turns out to be bitter!"

One of the onlookers said with emotion, but then looked at the three patients, and Lian Sheng asked, "How is it, after drinking the priest's medicine, do you feel better?"

"Forehead ......"

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and then shook their heads in unison.

I drank a drop of the medicine clean, but I didn't feel anything except for some sweating from the heat. The people of the tribe turned their suspicious eyes to the old priest, so that the old priest who was still full of confidence was not sure.

Liang Tian handed over the method of decoction to the old priest, but did not say how long it would take for the patient to get better after taking the medicine. And the old priest is a guy who only knows how to operate a black box, and I don't know anything about it, let alone a reason.

Now he is staring at hundreds of pairs of suspicious eyes, and he is also muttering in his heart.

But in the end, out of trust in the "God of the Giant Tree", the old priest still calmed down, and pretended to be profound: "This is what the great God of the Giant Tree taught me.

Therefore, after taking the medicine, you should sincerely pray to the god of the giant tree, so that the effect of the medicine can be brought into play!"

If you are not in a hurry, pray for a solution. As a god stick, the old sacrifice is also a trick to eat all over the world.

But his words did have an effect, seeing that the old priests all swore to bring out the great giant tree god, the hundreds of tribesmen present also put away their suspicious eyes, and the three patients who took the medicine immediately began to pray.

So the old priest coughed lightly and ordered the clansmen to carry the patient back to the room, and the scene ended temporarily!
