Chapter 187: The Price

The Great Witch did not speak, nor did he move.

Su You continued to speak, his voice was soft and soft, but extremely clear: "I originally admired you very much, I admired your persistence in ideals and the pursuit of truth. But the bones of the nineteen children in the snake cave tell me that it is a naked sin. ”

"You gave in and out at the conference, and put on the appearance of humbly asking for advice, in fact, you were sure that I couldn't get out of the snake hole."

"After I came out of the snake cave, you immediately adapted to the situation, and you just wanted to exchange benefits for me to keep your Great Witch Inheritance still existing."

"You are the wisest Erlin person I have ever met, and for the development of Erlinbu, I can only cooperate with you to act."

"However, if you are as wise as you, you should know that I will never trust you again, so I promise you everything you ask to realize your ideals, but in exchange for you disappearing into the snowy mountains on your own, okay?"

"Then you can also become the greatest wise man of the tribe, become an example of their search for truth, become a legend in the tribe, and add a tragic chapter to the epic."

"But if you come back, even if I hear rumors of your return, I will immediately order someone to reopen the snake cave and let the tribesmen see what is going on inside. Let them know what a terrible and perverted belief they once admired in witch sacrifices. ”

"When the time comes, not only you, but even your great witch inheritance will be disgusted and spurned."

"Before entering the snake cave, you once told me: no one will not pay the price for their actions and ideals. I listened to your words, obeyed your arrangement, and I made a sacrifice. ”

"So now, it's your turn."

The Great Witch still didn't look back, he muttered for a while, took off the bone string in his hand with a leather rope, and put it on the ground.

When he got back on his feet, he became more clumsy, but he began to walk barefoot.

A strange feeling rose in Su You's heart, and he seemed to see a trace of lightness and relief from Da Wu's steps.

The Great Witch walked away and disappeared into the mountains.

Li leashed his figure from the grass not far away, and carried a crossbow in his hand, and stepped forward to pick up the bone strings.

Su You put the little white ape on his shoulder: "Muke, let's go home!" ”

Tie up and walk beside Su You: "Young master, the one in the cave is an explosion, right?" ”

Su You nodded: "Yes." ”

Tie up and ask, "Is that the kind we are doing in the back mountain?" ”

Su You stopped: "Tie up brother, you know the power of this thing, everyone thinks that it is the blessing of heaven, and the divine thunder slashed the giant snake, but in fact, it is the kind of artillery battle we made." ”

"But now it must be kept secret, not to mention the people of Dali, the Erlin Department, even Cheng Gong, your Weng Weng father, my eighth cousin, everyone has to hide it."

"Go back and ask you how much effort Weng Weng has put into keeping your family's digging skills. Just know how much trouble it would cause for people to know that we have such power. Even if it is the Jiang Qing family, it can't bear it. ”

Li leashed his head and said, "I know, young master." But why don't we offer this thing to the court? ”

Su You said with a smile: "Dedicated to the imperial court, I'm afraid that the Great Song army will not be used, but the Liao people of Western Xia will use it first, do you believe it or not?" Our court, let's not hope too much......"

"Wait a little longer, wait for the young master to come up with better goods, and then we will use this to great use. At that time, the young master may already be standing in the court, and he will be able to make some credit, understand? ”

Li Lian nodded fiercely, and grinned: "When the time comes, let those officials and old men know that our science and technology is amazing!" ”

The lathe was installed, and the sawing machine was added, and the carpentry workshop of the Second Forest Department was in full swing.

Wooden bowls are divided into ordinary type and precious type.

The ordinary type is made of the roots of trees such as birch and rhododendron or miscellaneous trees such as beech and mountain cherry, without decoration, with a strong texture, not easy to break, and a delicate pattern.

Wooden bowls made of miscellaneous wood are also said to be poison-proof.

The precious type is made of a local parasitic plant called "temporary", the wood is dark and translucent, and the texture is as fine as a hair, Su You feels that the texture of this wood is comparable to red sandalwood, but there is no taste, it is really the best choice for making wooden bowls.

Making wooden bowls is not a simple matter, generally through more than ten processes such as material selection, felling, boiling, drying, shaping, turning, lacquering, baking, grinding, lacquering, and baking.

Atsumiko has been preparing wood for a long time.

After it is done, it is necessary to smear the inside and outside of the bowl wall with a grass juice called "add fish" to make it orange, so that the wood grain is clearer and more beautiful.

What interests Su You is the silver lid on the precious wooden bowl and the silver carved decoration.

The silver lid is engraved with auspicious patterns, and the wooden bowl is inlaid with silver throughout, leaving only a finger-wide part at the waist of the bowl, so that you can understand that the bowl tire is made of wood.

The lid on top is a bowl and the bottom is a bowl holder, similar to the shape of a bowl, but the lid is tower-shaped, and it is all silver.

This thing is made by Tibetan craftsmen recruited by the Second Forestry Department, and it is a proper top intangible cultural heritage.

As a new great witch, Su You's most exquisite set of wooden bowls was first presented to him by the craftsman.

The wooden bowl is carved with silver and inlaid with gold, there is a bright red bead at the top of the lid as a button, the bowl holder is the eight-petal lotus flower in full bloom, there is an auspicious pattern on each petal, and the eight petals together have a name, called Eight Xiangruitu.

It's really beautiful, and the only regret is that the pulp is missing.

Su Youmo rubbed it for a long time, but he was still reluctant to take it away, and sent it to the sacrificial hall together with the manganese steel Miao knife as the highest achievement of the handicraft industry of the Erlin Department.

However, the top pearl Su You knew that it was a material craft that had been lost in later generations - Xueba Beads.

It was exaggerated in later generations as the world's purest red glazed products, and successive generations of glaze craftsmen wanted to restore the process, but no one succeeded.

Now, inexplicably, the recipe was easily obtained—the pious craftsmen had never thought of keeping it a secret from the great witch they admired.

The altitude of the second forest department is higher than that of Meishan, and the temperature of the boiling water is lower than that of Meishan, so Su You ordered another cooking skill for the second forest department - baking.

With the mill, there was a fine flour of all kinds of grains; With milk there is cheese, butter, ghee; Coupled with honey, salt, eggs, and melon seeds and peach kernels, if you don't make bread and biscuits, you're sorry for your reputation as a foodie.

The difference is just yeast and an oven.

The bread is made into a ball shape by Su oil, which is about the size of a human head, and there is a delicious layer of thick sweet crispy crust on top, which is actually a pineapple bun in later generations, but it is much larger.

The crispy skin was made into a hair curl, and the bread had a filling inside, simulating the human brain, and the first bread was baked, and it was also sent to the sacrificial hall as a sacrifice, which was regarded as a substitute for the human sacrifice ceremony, and was preserved as an ancient style.

The people of the tribe couldn't help but be impressed by Su You, and the little wizard did not completely deny their sacrificial rituals, but improved them, even taking these small places into account.

Everyone who visited the temple was excited and grateful.

For Su You, it is actually just the old wisdom of Wuhou.

In addition to reading every day, Su You also has to work with Mr. Fan to receive the shamans from various ministries who come to the temple to worship, discuss with them warmly, take the three rituals of the Han family as the theoretical guidance, and based on the tribal rituals, formulate a new ritual suitable for the tribe, and then implement it into writing.

From now on, the rituals of the Erlin Department will be maintained and inherited by words, but only the sorcerers will suffer, sorry, you have to learn Chinese characters to understand.

Under the auspices of Su You and accompanied by the sorcerers of the various ministries, the alliance of the two forest tribes held a solemn and grand ceremony for the inauguration of the temple, the ceremony of the great witch sitting, and the release ceremony of the new festival ceremony.

Since then, the transmission of tribal shamans has truly been upgraded to a religion similar to the Tao of Heavenly Masters, and all rituals and rituals and rituals have laws to follow.

The cohesion of this thing is not ordinarily strong, and many tribes, even those small tribes that originally belonged to the Shama Department and bordered the control of the Erlin Ministry, have sent envoys to send gifts as congratulatory gifts to the new Great Witch.

As for how angry, worried, and resentful Sha Ma Pizhi was, it was no longer in Su You's mind.

On the contrary, he will also send wizards to the Shama tribe to teach the Dharma among the people, which will be a slow noose, gradually making it difficult for the leaders of the Shama tribe to breathe.

After two months of frantic building weapons, the armament of the Erlin Department has been enriched, and now it has religious appeal and spiritual weapons, and its strength is strong.

If the sand and hemp part does not struggle, it is dead; struggled, then the second forest department had a reason to send troops and die faster.

Da Wu is at least right about one thing, no one can not pay the price for his actions - Da Wu is like this, Mr. Fan is like this, Su You is like this.

The same is true when it comes to Shamabizhi.

The best choice for Shama is that when Su You comes out of the cave, he immediately goes back to attack the Second Forest Department, and there is still a glimmer of life. But now it seems that Shama Pizhi is just a jealous villain, not a hero like Nong Zhigao.
