Chapter 61 Uninvited Guests
Time flies, and after 30 days, it is time to agree with the Zhu Dan tribe to exchange 10,000 prisoners.
During this time, Fu Xi has been working hard to teach his beliefs to the two Fire Watch believers, and in the three principles determined by Lin Yuan, he has formulated many detailed creeds, set up complex prayer rituals, etc., in order to keep these creeds recorded forever, Fu Xi also specially learned to write from Anna.
Although Fu Xi's learning ability is very strong, but to complete the learning of words in just 30 days, it is still very difficult, but fortunately, Anna is more intelligent, she used hieroglyphs, to improve many Chinese character writing strokes, so that Fu Xi these primitive people can understand, for the words that are really difficult to remember, Fu Xi himself invented with simple pictures to replace.
In this way, Fu Xi and his two apprentices worked day and night to produce a fire god creed with more than 100 words, and they carved the contents on a large pottery shard with a bone blade and presented it to Lin Yuan for review.
In Lin Yuan's opinion, this is a piece of clay pottery covered with dense strokes of dragons and phoenixes, but if you calm down and look at it, you can find that some of the things written on it are words that can be recognized, and others are pictures of different shapes, although it is obscure to read, but you can also understand Fu Xi's seriousness.
"Not bad! Very good, the first one to see the fire, this pottery shard, put it in our fire temple, and in the future, our believers will all act according to the creed you have specified! ”
Lin Yuan slowly handed the pottery piece back to Fu Xi and said slowly.
Fu Xi nodded and replied cautiously:
"Thank you for the support of King Yan, serving the God of Fire is the lifelong pursuit of our fire watchers, and we will definitely follow the teachings of King Yan!"
As a result, the first handwritten text in the history of human civilization was placed in the fire temple for the worship of these believers.
"Soon, the 50 apprentices of the Zhu Dan clan will also come over, I'm afraid this Fire Divine Temple will be lively in the future!"
Lin Yuan looked at Fu Xi's departing back, looked at the temple in the distance, and said slowly.
Anna, who was sitting next to him, had slightly bent eyes, and said with a faint smile:
"You're still powerful King Yan, like this...... With religion, we may be able to control more people......"
Lin Yuan shook his head, looked at Anna, and said:
"No...... This is far from the level of religion, which is at most a creed, or faith, and the formation of religion requires a more systematic theoretical system...... There is more literature, and there are more believers, and we don't have that yet......"
"Oh......" Anna nodded, and just as she was about to say something, suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a strong primitive man rushed in with a cold wind, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Lin Yuan:
"Lord Yanwang, the hunters patrolling the south, there is a situation report."
The person who came in was Blade, and since his body had recovered a lot, Lin Yuan had handed over the entire matter of guarding around Huadu to him.
"Say it."
Lin Yuan replied, he looked at Anna, the other party nodded slightly, it seemed that the 10,000 captives of the Zhu Dan clan had come over.
"King Yan, I just received a report from the hunters, in the southeast near the mountain, we found a migration team of unknown race, about more than 1,000 people, their language we don't understand, after preliminary observation, we didn't rush to contact the other party."
Lin Yuan frowned.
Not the Zhu Dan clan?
You must know that if the Zhu Dan clan comes, it should come from the southwest, not the southeast, besides, if it is the Zhu Dan clan, it will definitely not bring more than 1,000 people, and the hunter guards she brought last time were at least more than 2,000 people.
That...... Who is this uninvited guest?
"Blade, tell me about this migration party." Lin Yuan leaned over and asked seriously, Anna also seemed to sense the tense atmosphere, and she sat up straight.
The blade pulled out a piece of animal skin from his body and handed it over.
This is an ordinary brown-black wild boar skin, which is used by many tribes in the mountains as a leather coat to protect from the cold and keep warm.
But what is strange is not the eyes of the hide, but its shape.
It's a square of all shapes, surprisingly standard.
Lin Yuan frowned and looked at it, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
"Blade, prepare a 500-person hunter troop for me, call the eggplant also, let them bring 500 people with the Suiren clan, and we will set off later!"
The blade immediately took the order, and Anna cautiously leaned over and asked:
Lin ...... Is there anything wrong with this hide? ”
Lin Yuan handed the animal skin to Anna's Qianqianyu and said:
"Look at the edge of this hide......"
Anna stroked it for a while, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said:
"This ...... How can this edge be cut so strangely?? What is this cut with a bone blade? Our old mother with the best Yan technology can't do it......"
Lin Yuan frowned, took back the animal skin, and dropped a sentence:
"It's not bone-cut, it's metal...... You look at home, I'm going to meet this uninvited guest......"
After about three or four torches had been burning, a huge team of more than a thousand people rushed out of Huadu, they lined up in a neat column, trotted all the way, and soon came to the mouth of the southeast valley that the blade said.
It was a small plain surrounded by mountains and rivers, and Lin Yuan had his troops cautiously ambush in the nearby grass, slowly approaching.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw the uninvited guest that Blade had mentioned, it was a small migratory tribe that seemed to be less than a thousand people, and they had already set up camp along the river.
Lin Yuan hid in the grass and observed for a long time, but he didn't find anything special about this tribe, and it seemed to be no different from an ordinary tribe.
They fished in the river with stone spears with long handles, set up tents with rough bone blades cutting animal skins, and a few young men who looked like hunters roamed around the camp, not finding the Yan army hiding not far away.
No matter from that point of view, this is not a developed tribe that can have metal, Lin Yuan's originally hanging heart suddenly put down, and it was a little empty.
In any case, since they came, they had to meet them, not to mention, they were strictly speaking, they belonged to the territory of the Yan clan.
Lin Yuan asked the big tooth and Hou Yi beside him to arrange the archers to prepare, and then he swaggered towards the camp with the blade and the eggplant.
Until Lin Yuan deliberately stepped on a branch on the ground, the young hunters patrolling this tribe had not found any trace of Lin Yuan.
"Who!? Yes?!!! ”
With the sound of a tree branch breaking, a patrolling person found that three powerful people were slowly approaching not far away, and for a moment, he was a little frightened and stood on the spot.
After about ten seconds, the young hunter shouted, and in a few moments, the whole camp of men, women, and children rushed out, and everyone was huddled in horror, and some young men rushed towards them with stone spears, less than a hundred people.
Lin Yuan stood calmly 10 steps away from the other party and stopped.
He adjusted the language translation function of the watch, and shouted:
"We are the people of the Fire God, the Yan Clan, the masters of this wilderness, and you have trespassed on our territory!"
A group of young men with spears on the other side breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were only three people in Lin Yuan's party, and there was a hairy boy who rushed to the front, holding a spear and shouting in a strange language:
"Hey! Do you say it's yours and it's yours? If you want me to say, this is still the territory of our Huaxu tribe! ”
The people behind him, as soon as they heard this, raised their spears to cheer the little boy on, and even worse, raised their spears in a spurt motion, grinning and whining.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, didn't make any moves, and said lightly:
"The land of the wilderness belongs to the Yan people! What about your chiefs? Please come out and ask! ”
Several Huaxu teenagers laughed wildly a few times, and took the lead in roaring:
"It's up to a few of you, why do you want to see our mother, take advantage of our good mood, go back quickly, be careful that we find your little tribe and destroy you!"
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, he looked at this kid who was talking wildly, the other party had very short hair, and he was unkempt like a little beggar in modern society, but his eyes were full of arrogance, as if he didn't put Lin Yuan and the others in his eyes at all.
It's no wonder that there are only three people on Lin Yuan's side, and there are nearly a hundred people with stone spears on the other side, so they are naturally not afraid of Lin Yuan, not to mention, they must think that Lin Yuan is just a very small tribe member, and the so-called Yan clan is estimated to be less than a hundred, so they naturally have the confidence to be arrogant.
Lin Yuanjiang's face sank and said:
"What if we don't go?"
The kid smiled and said vaguely, "Don't go...... Then go die......"
As soon as the words fell, two stone spears were thrown from his side, and the stone spears quickly slashed through the air and went straight towards Lin Yuan's chest.
Before Lin Yuan could blink, between the lightning and flint, he suddenly found that the blade had been protected in front of his chest, and then almost at the same time, two volleys burst into the sound, "pop ......" twice, the stone spear in the air trembled, shook to the side, and stuck in the clearing.
"Huh!?"
Several young Huaxu young people stared at the stone spear that fell to the ground in disbelief, they couldn't believe that their very skillful throwing spear would actually miss, and it was so outrageous??
When they looked closely, they saw that the spears that had fallen to the ground were each tied with a bow and arrow, and the arrows were pitch black, and the tail was stuck with bright feathers.
"What is this !???" Several Huaxu youths were in a mess, and it was obvious that they had never seen bows and arrows.
The young man who took the lead before burst into a shout again, his head was already hot, how could he manage so much, he took out a long-handled bone knife from his arms and rushed towards Lin Yuan.
Then the sound of breaking the sky came again, and he suddenly felt that his left leg was weak, and his charging body suddenly collapsed, and he fell into a dog eating.
The sharp pain in his leg soon came, and the young man cried loudly as he held his injured left leg, and he found that an arrow had also appeared in his leg, the same as the arrow that had just hit the stone spear.
"Ahhh......hhh Come on! ”
Seeing their companions fall, the remaining young men howled, holding their weapons and just about to charge, but suddenly stopped on the spot.
Their expressions were strikingly similar, their mouths wide open, their eyes wide open, and then they instantly turned to horror and trembled.
It turned out that in the grass behind Lin Yuan, at some point, a large area of black oppressive enemies appeared, all of them with strong figures and fierce faces, and the number of people standing up was still increasing.
Lin Yuan brought a total of nearly a thousand people, almost 10 times that of the young people of the Huaxu tribe, and they found that they had never noticed that in the grass in front of them, there was such a huge team hidden.
Then they found some people holding strange weapons in their hands, long strips, and a thin animal tendon tied to them, which seemed to be facing them, as if the arrow that had just hit the flying spear had been fired from this weapon.
With a few volleys exploding again, pitch-black arrows appeared under their feet, close to their feet and thumbs, as if deliberately gracious, and did not hit them as a warning.
Several young people were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they didn't move.
The blade had already rushed out, kicked away the bone knife lying on the ground in the hand of the grass nest head, and then stared at these Huaxu people fiercely.
The eggplant gestured to make them drop their weapons, and after a while, the stunned Huaxu clan dropped the stone spears in their hands one after another.
Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Now, you're willing to ask the tribal chief to come out, right?"
A few young people, you look at me, I look at you, and then turned sideways, and an old woman walked out tremblingly.
The old woman was on crutches with a yellow-brown deadwood stick, and she was hunched over, with pockmarked faces, and she looked weak.
But the Huaxu people around her had extra respect for her, and when they saw their patriarch walking out, several young people hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"I'm the Huaxu patriarch, I'm sorry, we trespassed on your territory, because we were chased everywhere in the mountains and had nowhere to go...... Please also this ...... The Yan chieftain forgives ......"
The old woman looked at her own person who was lying on the ground with an arrow in her leg, and instantly understood everything, and now hurry up to compensate first, so as not to cause her tribe to suffer a catastrophe.
Eggplant raised his chin and shouted loudly:
"In front of you is the Flame King! Spokesman of the great Vulcan! ”
The old woman rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and said solemnly:
"The Flame King...... Please forgive the Huaxu people for their unintentional mistakes...... This reckless boy also asked King Yan to let him live, and I will punish him severely......"
Lin Yuan sighed and gave the blade a look, and the blade pushed the injured young man back.
"Since you recognize the territory of our Chinese people, then today's matter, that's it, you have fallen here, if I kill them all, it will inevitably be unkind, and now that you have set up camp, then, from now on, within a radius of 100 steps, the Yan people can temporarily lease it to you, but you must send 100 middle-aged laborers every day to serve the Yan people, as the price of your leased land."
Lin Yuan said word by word, and after making sure that the old woman understood his words, he continued:
"If you don't agree, then before the sun goes down today, all the Huaxu people must disappear from the Yan Clan's wilderness, otherwise, they will be killed!"
Lin Yuan said as he glared at the old woman.
The surrounding Huaxu people were in an uproar, and the sound of panic came sporadically from the women and children in the camp.
The age spots on the old woman's face trembled slightly for a moment, as if she were thinking about something, and after a long time, she replied:
"Then, according to King Yan's words, all our prime-age labor is called by King Yan...... But, hopefully, the Flame King can protect us women and children...... Protected from enemy raids...... Beast Invasion ......"
After that, the old woman bowed vigorously, and her originally hunched body looked even more hunched.
Lin Yuan nodded and said:
"Good! Since the Huaxu clan intends to be vassal, the Yan clan must protect your people! Then Lin Yuan turned his head to the blade and ordered:
"Blade, after I go back, I will tell Fu Xi to bring the fire watcher over to treat this young man who was wounded by an arrow as much as possible, and the rest will be arranged by Fu Xi."
Blade nodded in agreement.
"That's right! One more thing! ”
Lin Yuan turned his head and said to the old woman.
Patriarch Huaxu replied tremblingly:
"Please ask the Yan King to command ......"
Lin Yuan took out the cut square animal skin from his arms, put it in front of the old woman's eyes, and asked:
"This thing belongs to the Huaxu clan?"
The old woman looked at it for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh!! This is what we found from the bad guys in Shannan! …… It was a brutal battle...... We have sacrificed many valiant warriors...... However, we also killed a lot of Shannan bad guys, and this is our trophy......"
Lin Yuan frowned, isn't this animal skin from this Huaxu clan?
"Please take a closer look, are you sure that this animal skin is from Shannan?"
The old woman nodded heavily and said:
"That's not wrong, I originally planned to hang it in the big tent as a souvenir, but I was tired of migrating along the way, and I lost it for some reason, and finally it ended up in the hands of King Yan......"
Lin Yuan threw the animal skin back to the Huaxu patriarch, and then asked solemnly:
"What do you say, that Shannan bad guy, what do they look like? Can it be named? ”
The old woman looked up to the sky and sighed, and said:
"The hatred of the exterminating clan is not shared! I'm rotting in the river, and I'll always remember the names of the bad guys...... They call themselves the Jiuli tribe......"
