Chapter 109: The So-called Suiren Clan

Tang Ge's solution is very simple, which is to paint the faces of the actors.

Peking Opera mask can be described as the quintessence of the classics, but in the drama rehearsed by Tang Ge, the actors are all performed on stage with their faces facing the sky, all because in Banpo Dolphin, painting a big flower face is a very sacred thing, and the whole tribe has a time of sacrifice, Fat Wu and Tang Ge can paint their faces with flowers, and they are not even allowed to paint them in ordinary times.

However, after this incident, Tang Ge felt that this was a good opportunity. He originally felt that the actors didn't wear makeup, and they would be a little less tasteful when they sang, so he just took this opportunity to apply to Fat Wu to see if he could make the actors paint their faces before performing.

Fat Wu is not the kind of unreasonable person, after listening to Tang Ge's detailed explanation of the difference between face makeup and sacrificial makeup, he agreed to Tang Ge's request after a short period of consideration, which made Tang Ge overjoyed. You must know that now Fat Wu is also one of the fans of the theater, and it is precisely because he loves to listen to the theater that he agreed to his request so easily. If Tang Ge dared to put forward such an opinion before the official performance, he would definitely be rejected by Fat Wu without hesitation.

Since then, there has been another highlight on the stage, and that is Facebook. All kinds of black faces, white faces, and big flower faces, cover the faces of the actors tightly, and can make the actors portray their roles more expressively, especially the white lady and Xiaoqing with pink faces.

Just one more makeup makes this play more exciting.

At this point, everything in Banpo Dolphin was on the right track, and Tang Ge finally relaxed. Seeing that Tang Ge had some leisure, Da Shi ran to the Shixiang tribe and took Yuelan Yuexiang's mother and daughter to the Holy Fire City, and once again experienced the happy life of a family reunion. Seeing this, Tang Ge didn't do anything, so he simply sent someone to the Beishan tribe to pick up Ah Liang, and accompanied Ah Liang to listen to the drama every day, watch the military training, and live a good life.

It is worth mentioning that after Yuelan came to the Holy Flame City, the first thing she did was to ask the old scar to carefully carve a set of family portraits for them with the best wood. This is the first set of family photos that really belong to Yuelan, so Yuelan cherishes it very much, and plays with it every day, which can be described as a love affair.

Old Scar, an expert carver, is now the most popular slave in the tribe. It's a pity that slaves are always slaves, and they can't become clansmen just by carving human portraits.

In addition, perhaps because she felt that Tang Ge was not so resistant to herself, so in the process of getting along for more than a month, Yuelan insisted on calling Tang Ge "little good", even if Tang Ge protested many times, Yuelan was stubborn and never changed, and in the end, Tang Ge had to acquiesce to this nickname that made him feel like a sissy.

Military training and watching dramas are all the life content of the clansmen this winter, maybe for a modern person, such a day is very monotonous, but for the clansmen of the Holy Flame City, this winter is extraordinarily exciting.

In the blink of an eye, it's spring again.

When the snow melts and the spring is first released, the tribesmen take off their thick animal skin coats and begin to work hard for the new year's harvest in the slightly drunk spring breeze.

For the Holy Flame City, the most important thing in spring is the spring festival. The spring festival is dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties, that is, the Suiren clan.

The term "Suiren" does not refer to a single person, but to the collective name of many generations of tribal leaders who have been in charge of the sacred fire.

The "Sui" of the Suiren clan refers to the tool of making fire, while the "clan" means the deity, and the "clan" is a deity, whose status is almost equal to that of the highest "emperor".

The Suiren clan lit the holy fire to teach the people, so that human beings have been out of the dark and cold, and they have to be cooked and eaten, completely bidding farewell to the history of Ru Mao drinking blood, and even all the development of civilization after human beings is based on the flame, even in the era before the Tang Ge, but also respect the Suiren clan as the ancestor of humanity, it can be said that the flame is the cornerstone of human civilization, without the flame, human life and beasts are actually no different, so, calling the Suiren clan the ancestor of humanity is well-deserved.

The Fusiliers have contributed to humanity for their deeds, and in tribal legends, the Fusiliers have done more than just create flames. The Suiren not only created the holy fire, but also invented the knotted rope chronicle, and named the beasts, mountains and rivers and even the stars in the sky, even the tribal totem was invented by the Suiren clan, and the calendar was invented, so that people know the four seasons of the day, and the stargazing is to worship the sky, and the way of heaven is observed, creating a precedent for witch wishes.

After generations of inheritance, the Suiren clan has gradually spread out, and its descendants can be said to be all over the land, among which the more famous ones are "Feng", "Yi", "Yun", "Yin", "Win", "Zi" and other surnames, the clansmen living in the Holy Fire City are one of the "Feng" surnames among the descendants of the Suiren clan, according to the fat witch, the surname Feng is also the most orthodox one of the descendants of the Suiren clan.

After Tang Ge carefully understood the legend of the tribe, he touched it for a long time, and always felt that the name "Feng Tang Ge" made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable, but in the wasteland, he was a famous magical young witch Tang Ge, but when he arrived in Zhongzhou, in the Holy Fire Alliance, if he introduced his name to others, he must be named "Feng" surname to show the difference.

Since welcoming back the flame from Zhongzhou, Banpo dolphin has now returned to the holy fire totem, and the surname "wind", which was not qualified to be mentioned before, is now also used in Zhengda Guangming, and the exchanges with Zhongzhou are becoming more and more numerous, so sooner or later, Tang Ge will claim to be the great surname of "wind" and declare his glorious identity to others.

After returning to the Holy Flame, it was not only as simple as having an additional surname for the clansmen, but even the most important spring festival of the year became much more solemn.

Although in the past, when the Banpo dolphin was poor, it would do its best to hold the spring festival, but at that time, there was no name and no division, and I always felt that the spring festival lacked a trace of taste, and now the holy flame is burning in the holy fire city, and this alone can make the people full of a sense of sacredness and belonging.

In these years, the sense of belonging is very important, only with belonging, people have roots, souls have a home, and the spirit of living.

To sacrifice the sacred fire is to sacrifice to the Suiren clan of the past dynasties. Although Tang Ge was very disdainful of the wasteful act of burning sacrifices, the tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years is unbreakable. Therefore, Tang Ge could only watch the fat witch dance witch, throwing all kinds of treasures into the fire and burning them all.

The more offerings Fat Witch burned, the more excited the tribesmen became, and when Fat Witch burned all the offerings, the excitement of the tribe reached its peak.

After the fat witch sacrificed to the ancestors of heaven and earth, the clansmen spontaneously lit bonfires all over the Holy Fire City, wore uniform sacrificial clothes, sang war songs around the holy fire, danced war dances, roasted all kinds of food, and started the annual carnival.

When the clansmen were carnivaling, Tang Ge took off his wizard costume, washed off the oil paint on his face, and drank silently with a jar of wine. At such moments, Tang Ge always behaved incompatible with the surrounding environment, because for Tang Ge, the annual festival that the clansmen were accustomed to was unfamiliar to him, reminding him that his soul did not belong to this world, and also making him miss his relatives in the past.

Usually when he is busy, this unforgettable longing can be suppressed and deliberately forgotten, but when the family revels, everyone celebrates a festival that he has never been exposed to before, this kind of longing gushes out like a volcanic eruption.

Without the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival of the Fifteenth, the dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival, the mooncakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the loss of more is the sound and smile of his relatives, as well as the weak child who he can never give up, and dreams of countless midnight dreams, all burst into tears, and he is constantly worried about it.

Fortunately, there are many more places in this world that are the same as his relatives. There are big stones, fragrant incense, Brother Liang, and many clansmen who moved him. It was they who gave Tang Ge the courage to start a second life, and it was they who made Tang Ge laugh again. If it weren't for them, it is estimated that Tang Ge would have been on the road to death and would have pursued liberation.

After the spring festival, it is a new round of coming-of-age ceremonies for the teenagers. The coming-of-age ceremony is also an important festival for the whole clan.

On a sunny day after the spring festival, those boys and girls whose secondary sexual characteristics have been revealed, with proud smiles, put on various golden weapons under the earnest entrustment of their parents, and set off towards the wasteland under the bright morning sun. When they have hunted the prey that they have hunted independently for the first time in the real sense of their lives, they can return to the tribe with the prey and let the tribesmen share the food. At this point, they are considered to be officially adults.

The hunting conditions of the Banpo dolphin are not high, nor are they harsh, as long as it is the prey that the teenagers hunt independently, regardless of size or species, it is considered to be passed. Therefore, the five teenagers and girls who were about to become adults set out in the morning and returned to the tribe with their prey in the evening, and with excellent equipment, there were no accidents during the hunting of these five teenagers and girls.

What followed was another carnival.

At last year's coming-of-age ceremony, the fat witch's extremely shameless behavior made Tang Ge extremely disgusting, so at this year's coming-of-age ceremony, Tang Ge casually swallowed the food for him, and after the pitiful little food, he left under the pretext of excuse.

As a young witch, just because he is a minor, he doesn't even have the right to give blessings, so he can only watch a few bear children with weak and poor beast tooth necklaces all kinds of sneering, maybe he can also witness the shameless behavior of the fat witch, this kind of occasion, don't wait.

After the completion of the New Year's ceremony, spring ploughing will begin. Today's Banpo dolphins, the grain has been piled up, and the harvest of one year is enough to cover all the three years of food and abundance, but even so, the annual spring ploughing is also the most important activity in the tribe.
