21 Cast spells by the Lesser Star God
The crowd followed out and didn't go far before stopping.
At this time, they had come to the place where the workers were working, and the tribesmen of the Youjin tribe were at the forefront of the battle against nature these days.
Along the way, Wei noticed that this was supposed to be the place where the clansmen cut down trees. It was supposed to be a dense forest, but because of the arrival of the clansmen, a large area has now appeared between the originally dense jungles.
The remaining roots on the ground reminded Wei that this should have been part of the forest before this.
But now only weeds and shrubs are left here.
Some of the trees had fallen, and they should have become part of the village that Wei had just seen.
But more trees are still around, and as far as the eye can see, the whole flat land, with no end in sight, stretches all the way to the mountains in the distance.
The star god began to observe back and forth at the junction of the clearing and the woods, like the witches of the tribe, as if he was preparing for a grand sacrifice and divination, and was now making preparations for the action.
The young men of the tribe, who had been working nearby for the past two days, began to talk about the current situation here.
"There are really not enough people, and the stars say that they need to cut down all the trees that can be seen here...... I'm afraid we won't be able to do this for the rest of our lives. ”
"Even if there is an axe from the star gods, it will not work, and a person can only cut down a few trees at most in a morning."
"Not to mention the processing of trees...... The Tree Cutters of the Star Gods are quite useful...... But it wasn't too late......"
"It's too much to live...... But I wish I could do this for the rest of my life, the rice is so delicious. ”
"Yes, yes," the topic of rice resonated with everyone, and the number of people who spoke suddenly increased, "I heard from the star god that this is the beginning, and even meat can be eaten casually in the future." ”
"All-you-can-eat meat? I'm afraid you heard it in your dreams. ”
"I think it's just that the star gods eat, and they don't have that much meat."
"Really, the star god himself said," the man insisted, "and he showed me the picture." ”
"What picture?"
"Is there a picture like that for the gods? That's not the same as the inside. ”
Everyone has eaten instant noodles, and they still have a little experience of the "artistic exaggeration" of Xingshen's pictures.
"No, it's a new thing," the man described, gesturing, with both hands and feet, "sandwiched with bread on both sides and ......meat in the middle."
"Cake?"
"What is a pie?"
"It's baked with rice."
"Can you still bake rice?"
"It's smaller than a meter, and the star god says it can."
"Then I must eat it when I have a chance," the people around him began to swallow their saliva, "What does it taste like, is it sweet?" ”
"It's better to be as sweet as sugar." There are quite a few people who have eaten sugar these days and are starting to imagine some wonderful connection between them and staple foods.
"Or salty as mustard."
"It's still sweet and delicious......"
"It's better to be salty......"
"Xingshen said it was spicy."
"Spicy? What is that? ”
"The star god said that was the best taste," the man nodded affirmatively, "and the star god said that he would let us live in the stars in the future." ”
"Can a star be so small that it can live in people?"
The scene gradually became noisy because of the temporary science popularization activities, only Wei, a child, did not pay attention to their future, after the topic left the food, all his attention shifted to the young star god not far ahead, his strange movements.
The star god obviously doesn't seem to be dancing, Wei has seen it with his own eyes, and has learned the dance of many tribal witches, some are enthusiastic and unrestrained, some are quiet and dignified, some are as fierce as warriors fighting, and some are like ghosts walking like fluttering, but he has never seen a dance like Shaoxing God, which is so unpretentious and unpretentious.
There's only one explanation, and he's not dancing at all.
The witch's dance is to communicate with the spirits of the gods, and the star gods are gods, so they naturally don't need to communicate in this way. Between the star god and the other gods, he only needs to open a small box in his hand to speak, and he can also see the appearance of the other party - his father has such a small box, and Wei has also heard his father talk to the star god with his own ears, dozens of miles away.
It's not about dancing, it's about guarding, it's about doing things.
Just like the first time his father took him to hunt, in order to track the wild beasts, he could look at their footprints for a long time, but also look at the nearby stool, and whether there were any corpses of other prey......
This is a big event about whether or not you can fill your stomach, so naturally you need to be extra serious and careful.
The current star god looks like he is seriously preparing to do a big thing.
But Ewei's cognition, he didn't know what the Star God was preparing for you, what he seemed to have been doing was staring at the endless forests, sometimes looking into the distance, sometimes looking near, sometimes looking at the ground, sometimes looking at the sky.
After preparing a full meal, the star god stopped his movements.
Then he began to command the guards, who quickly drove the crowd to the rear, and soon had all the adults begin to count and call people.
Everyone has a number plate on them, which is the biggest reason for them to eat here. Every time they go to the cafeteria to eat, they will be called this number at the same time as they receive the meal, at the beginning, everyone does not know the specific meaning, but as they are shouted more, everyone gradually recognizes these numbers. Just like Wei's number plate, it is No. 33, because he is the son of the king and the first group of people to contact the star gods, so he ranks relatively high. Every time he was in the cafeteria, or when he was working, when he was called to the 33rd, Wei knew that he was calling himself, and now he would already shout when he was called.
This method of using numbers as code names instead of personal names has played a role in the migration just now. Every time his father set off on a break, when he needed to make sure that anyone was left behind, he would call the numbers in turn according to the roster. If someone shouts every time, it means that everyone is complete, otherwise, it means that someone is left behind and needs to send someone back to find it.
Just now, when everyone was watching the excitement here, many children were chasing and fighting, because the wild beasts in the vicinity had been expelled, so there was no danger for the time being, and many children went into the forest on the side to play.
Now that it's a little famous, many children have come back obediently after hearing it, and there are those who are very small and ignorant, and there is no movement no matter how the parents call them. Once the roll call was called, it was found that more than a dozen people were not there.
"All go in and find it." Seeing that the star god was a little angry, the guards immediately arranged for all the clansmen to divide into several groups and look for them in the nearby woods.
This group of children who were found back was a little hard, and after being caught, many of them were pressed to the ground by their parents and used wooden sticks to whip their buttocks. The star god asked one of the guards to take the roll call again, and this time after the counting, he made sure that everyone was there, and none of them were missed.
The star god didn't seem to be at ease, so he asked more than twenty guards to shout to the forest in front of him, reminding anyone inside to answer when they heard the shout, otherwise they would be worried about their lives.
After shouting for four or five minutes in a row, there was no response, but some wolf cries came from the distance of the woods, and the listeners were a little furious. No matter what time it is, wolves are difficult animals to mess with, and when the Jin clan was hunting in the past, they tried to avoid wolves as much as possible.
But the star god apparently didn't care, and he asked all the clansmen to sit down in the open space behind him, as if they were about to cast a spell.
Wei, like all the other children, stared wide-eyed, staring at the hand of the star god without blinking.
I saw Xingshen take out a broken stick from the bag on his back, he lifted the stick with two hands, and then carefully aimed it forward, and then he asked the soldiers to tell everyone not to move, especially children, and parents to hold on firmly.
Wei didn't know when his mother came behind him, so he hugged him, but he was a little reluctant, because he felt that he was no longer a child. The other kids were running to play, and he, like the adults, was just standing here watching the gods.
At this moment, the stick in the star god's hand suddenly stretched out a bright red light, as if there was a transparent giant in the air, and it was bloodstained by an invisible long sword. The light was very thin, very long, and stretched straight forward, Wei stared at the light, and didn't know why, he felt that he was panicking.
Then the star god carefully moved the long sticks in his two hands.
Xingshen just turned the stick in his hand a little bit, but the light in front of him, almost swept across the entire mountain in front of him, and suddenly, Wei heard countless "click" sounds in the distance, those branches and leaves, a person had to spend half an hour to cut down the big trees, suddenly began to be like the grass swept by the wind, one by one.
The trees then fell to the ground with a continuous, dull sound that filled everyone's eardrums almost all the time.
Wei's mouth was wide open, his eyes fixed on the stick in the star god's hand.
Before this, Wei had never been able to understand why they all had two legs and two arms, and everyone had to eat and drink, why the star gods were gods, they were just mortals.
Now he seems to understand something.
The dense forest had been swept away by this red line in front of a large blank area, and after the huge smoke and dust dissipated, some people had the courage to follow in the footsteps of the star god. Wei was surprised to notice that all the big trees were cut off at the same height, and when they came out of the fracture, there was no trace of axe felling, nor did they see the trees shattered by the forceful destruction.
The fracture is extremely smooth, as if it had been cut with a planer.
The most incredible thing for the people was that not only the trees, but also the slightly taller shrubs and grasses around them, and even some stones in the same position, were all cut in half, and it was as if the gods had set the highest height for every creature here, and no one was allowed to leave anything above this height.
