Chapter 55 The surname is Yu, and the name is Yuchun

Chapter 55 gives the surname Yu and the name Yu Chun

This miraculous mandarin duck pot waterhole is actually a hot spring on the left and a mountain spring on the right! The perfect solution to the survival problem of this tribe, drinking water and heating source.

There are also some small caves that have been hollowed out around the waterhole, and there are some daily necessities outside, which should be the place where the tribesmen stay.

The shaman took Wang Xu into the largest cave, or more appropriately the stone room, where the stone-polished furniture and the ancient carvings on the stone walls were deeply attracted to Wang Xu.

If this cave is discovered in later generations, it must be an astonishing discovery that shocks the archaeological community.

Because the stone wall here is painted, in ancient times, the living conditions of the ancients, as well as a kind of original text symbols, the most prominent is a fishbone carving.

It is estimated that the name of this tribe is because of this fishbone carving.

When Wang Xu visited these ancient ruins, Tu Tan had already told the shaman about the migration of the Piercing Bone Clan, but the shaman strongly refused.

The old shaman knelt on the ground and muttered excitedly.

"He said he was willing to pay twice as much salt and salted fish in exchange for the right to continue living in his ancestral land, and he said that if he left his ancestral land, Donghu would never have salt again." Tu Tan translated.

Wang Xu glanced at the treacherous old shaman in his eyes, shook his head, and pointed to the fish bones on the wall, "Do you know what this is?" ”

"That is the oracle left by the ancestors, let us protect the ancestral land for the times." Lao Sa said with a reverent face.

"Your ancestors were a fish who was deboned by the gods for making a mistake and banished here to guard the borders and await redemption." Wang Xu pointed to a bird carving at the highest point on the wall and said, "When the bird comes, it will be the day of liberation for your people." ”

The old shaman looked at Wang Xu with wide eyes and incredulity, as if he had been affected by something.

Wang Xu asked Mo Ding to take off his coat, revealing the lifelike goshawk tattoo on his back.

Tattoo is a very primitive inheritance, from the tribal civilization period, people used tattoos to distinguish the clan and the enemy, to the later civilization period, tattoos still retain such a distinction meaning, especially in the Yin Shang is very popular tattoo tattoos, to recognize merit and identity.

However, in order to eliminate this intuitive way of distinguishing ethnic groups and city-states, the Zhou Dynasty used the power of ritual music to send the body to the parents and take the physical rights of people from the hands of the gods back to the hands of human rights, which is a transition of theocracy to human rights or imperial power.

As a result, tattoos were strictly forbidden, and it was believed that only barbarians would get tattoos, and the early Chu State was not treated by the Central Plains because Jing Chu retained the tradition of tattoos at that time.

Later, in the late Zhou Dynasty, tattooing had been turned into a criminal punishment, and the method of execution called 'ink punishment' was to tattoo characters on a person's face or other parts of the body, and then apply ink or other pigments to make the tattooed characters a permanent mark, mostly used on slaves and criminals.

However, the inheritance of the Lone Bamboo Country Yin Shang will naturally not respect the Zhou rites, and in the Lone Bamboo Country, when the men in the clan become adults, they will be tattooed with goshawks by the monarch to show their recognition of their identity.

And don't look at the poor water in the lonely bamboo country, Mo Kui has a good painting skills, and tattoo skills, he gives the clan a stable freehand style goshawk, very mysterious charm and impact.

The goshawk behind Mo Ding once again gave the old priest a great shock, and when he looked at Wang Xu again, the treacherous in his eyes had turned into panic.

Because Wang Xu really said exactly the myth inherited by their ancestors, is it really the gods who descended to earth and were released after completing their sentences?

In fact, Wang Xu just used his rich archaeological experience to make an inference, and the main purpose of the depiction of the knotted rope of the primitive tribe as the map is not actually artistic creation, but for the legitimacy of the regime.

Only the portrayal of serving the ruler will be handed down, so these ancient depictions of Shibishan must have something to do with the early ruling methods of this tribe.

The ancestors of this tribe should have believed in birds at the beginning, and it was likely to be seagulls, or other seabirds, so the status of bird painting was very high, but I don't know how to get to the back, this tribe is named after fish bones, which must have had a process of power replacement, to replace the ruling rights of bird believers with fish bones, so Wang Xu tried to make up this story.

Looking at the old shaman's shocked expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

Those who are close to God often do not believe in God.

Mo Kui was like this before, and now this old shaman is like this, and the best way to deal with this pseudo-god stick is to do something beyond their imagination.

So Wang Xu chose a lighter again.

Human beings are born with fear and dependence on flames, so the Suiren clan is recognized as the ancestor of all ethnic groups in China.

The Piercing Tribes hadn't seen Mars for many years, and without flint and steel and other tools of life, it was impossible to try to use drilled wood for fire, and the only thing they could expect was lightning fire, but unfortunately there were no tall trees around to provide lightning fire.

So when Wang Xu came out of thin air to light the fire, everyone in the Piercing Bone Tribe knelt on the ground and screamed.

At the same time, under the shocked gaze of the old shaman, the huge fishbone altar was ignited.

The fishbone altar, which had long been blown by the sea breeze, basically caught fire when it caught fire, and the blue-red flames were like a gluttonous beast, devouring the fishbone altar in the blink of an eye, illuminating the dim night.

The old shaman came back to his senses, screamed and rushed over to extinguish the flames with his body, but was kicked out by Tu Tan next to him.

Tu Tan said to the people of the Red Bone Tribe with a fierce face, "The Emperor has personally lifted your curse, and from today onwards, you will officially return to the identity of Huaxia Miao descendants, forgive the mistakes of your ancestor Panyu for the Yin Shang tribe, and restore your clan surname Yu." ”

The clansmen of the Piercing Bone Tribe were all confused, they didn't understand any Huaxia or Yin Shang at all, the only thing they could understand was contact with curses and ancestors, but it didn't matter, it didn't sound like a bad thing.

So under the leadership of the leader of the stupid big savages, the altar of burning fishbones around it began to jump again.

"What is the origin of the surname Yu?" Wang Li asked suspiciously.

"Yuqiang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, was named the god of the sea, and guarded the northern seas as the ancestor surnamed Yu." Wang Xu said with a smile, "Yu Qiang's grandson Yu Xi Zhong is the chariot of Dayu, assisting the Xia Dynasty, with the credit of inventing the carriage and fishing boats, and I Yin Shang Zuo Xian Xiang Zhongyu is the descendant of the surname Yu, and has made great contributions to the overthrow of the Xia Dynasty by Emperor Shang Tang." ”

"You just gave such an important surname?" Wang Li frowned, looking at the old shaman who was still rolling on the ground and crying, "This old guy obviously has a thief's heart." ”

"It's okay." Wang Xu hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled indifferently, "When a ruler can't bring benefits to his clansmen, he won't have much influence, and you should have noticed that the relationship between the leader and him is not harmonious." ”

Wang Li narrowed his eyes.

"There are only twelve men in the prime of life in the Piercing Bone Tribe, and the rest are all old and weak women and children, and it is obvious that the men have been captured by Donghu as slaves." Wang Xu smiled and said, "Such a tribe that has no ability to defend itself must be eager for a more powerful leader to come out and lead them." ”

Wang Li looked at the leader of the savages who was dancing happily under the bonfire with pity in his eyes, "Getting his loyalty is equivalent to getting the loyalty of this tribe." ”

"Tu Tan, tell that stupid big man that from today on, he is the leader of the Yu clan, named Yu Chun." Wang Xu smiled at Tu Tan.

Tu Tan caught the savage Yu Chun, who was stupid, and began to convey Wang Xu's reward.

Yu Chun, who was reluctant to give up the name of the tribe, was kicked twice by Tu Tan, so he came over to kowtow to Wang Xu and kissed his shoes.

This was the Donghu people's way of expressing their submission, which was rejected by Wang Xu.

Yu Chun, who got the new name, conveyed Tu Tan's words to his clansmen, and then led all the clansmen to formally bow down to Wang Xu to express their submission.

This scene fell in the eyes of the old shaman, and his face was like ashes.

"You are still the shaman of the Yu clan." Tu Tan squatted next to the old shaman and said with a grin, "Your name is Yu Min, and your successor is also called this name, when you know that the clan doesn't need you." ”

The old shaman's gloomy eyes lit up: "Am I still a shaman?" ”

Tu Tan nodded, "But it's just a shaman." ”

After the old shaman's face changed a few times, he crawled in front of Wang Xu and kowtowed in submission.

Wang Xu smiled at him, and then led his people to the sea, and dinner had not yet been settled.

The old shaman wiped the tears from his face, and stubbornly began to jump at the fishbone altar that had been burned to ashes, looking lonely and desolate under the light of the moon.
