Chapter 14: Descendants of the Dragon

Although everyone had high hopes for the productivity of the tribe after the invention of the bow and arrow, at the beginning, due to the uneven proficiency of the hunters, the production of bows and arrows was mixed, and the effect was not particularly outstanding, and there were even one or two incidents of accidental injuries such as "misfire".

But fortunately, as everyone became more proficient in the use of bows and arrows, the production process of bows and arrows continued to improve and innovate, and gradually, this new type of production tool began to play its due role, and the number of tribal prey increased significantly.

Then, after a few days of trying, Xi finally found a plant that was harmless to people, but could paralyze animals, and she boiled these plants into juice, and then Long Qiupeng applied these juices to the scissors. The Tranquilizer Arrow has been added to the Horde's weapons list.

Early in the morning of the new weapon's "service", Long Qiupeng was determined to let go, and let the deer take the hunters of the Liebu into the forest, while he himself sat in the tribe. In fact, he has always cared about the safety of the deer, firstly, because of the deer's loyalty, and secondly, before the unification of culture, the deer was an irreplaceable translator. But if you keep the deer by your side, then in the eyes of others, the deer will always be a celebrity next to the leader, not a real key person.

Because of his own selfishness, he ruined the future of the deer, and it was easy to drop the chain at a critical time.

However, for the first time, he let the deer go hunting with a foreign team, and Long Qiupeng was still relieved. The wait was long and painful, and the tribe spent the winter, hoping that this new weapon would play its due role.

All day, Long Qiupeng felt uneasy in his heart, this panic reached its peak when the sun was about to set, no matter what, the hunters should have returned.

There won't be any accidents, right? Could it be that there is another accidental injury? Or are they choosing too many people and are hurt by the other party? Or maybe the deer failed to command the spirits and there was a conflict between the two? While Long Qiupeng was thinking wildly, the shouts of the guards came from the village, and it was the hunters who had returned.

He rushed out with one lunge, and in the setting sun, he saw the sweaty hunters, laboriously dragging back what they had gained for the day, and among the many small animals, a black species caused the tribesmen to exclaim.

Not so long ago, they didn't even have an effective way to get food, feeling fear and helplessness for the sake of a wild boar, a wolf. At that time, the treaty of "ten stags" was equivalent to ruining the survival of a tribe.

A black bear, an adult, male black bear. Before meeting Long Qiupeng, this animal was a death-like existence for many tribes, but now, they trampled the god of death under their feet, not to mention ten stags, they believed that even if the Furnace tribe had to take ten more stags, they could still get enough food, and it was this mysterious man from the unknown world who helped them achieve all this - Long Qiupeng.

After a few days of harvesting, Xi officially announced the lifting of the "food crunch" policy, and since the arrival of the Furnace tribe, the tribe has not been so lively for a long time, and they have begun to gather together to rejoice.

After accepting the worship and command of the clansmen, Long Qiupeng quietly left the crowd and gave the glory and light to the deer, in order to consolidate the deer's position in the tribe.

The rise of the deer's status not only shared Long Qiupeng's work, allowing him to concentrate on the affairs of the Lu tribe, but also relieved him of a piece of his heart. For a long time, Long Qiupeng thought that Lu was a well-deserved deputy leader in his heart, but those people in the Lie Department were used to being barbaric, and they looked down on the thin Lu for a long time, thinking that he had today's status because of "stammering" Long Qiupeng.

In order to appease the emotions of the Liebu, Long Qiupeng gave them the position of deputy leader, and Lu did not have any objections, or even any unhappy expressions, which made Long Qiupeng feel even more guilty. After tossing and turning for so long, the Ryubu finally recognized the ability of the deer, and although the deer missed the opportunity to become the leader of the tribal department, the deer established itself in the tribe.

At this point, all the real power of the tribe's management has returned to the hands of the Dragon Department, which makes Long Qiupeng feel at ease.

Leaving the revelry, he silently came to the cave where the original people lived.

Under the leadership of Dahu, the pottery workers built more and more houses, and many people moved out of the cave and lived in thatched huts, and there were fewer and fewer people in the cave. Long Qiupeng hasn't been back to the cave for a long time, and he came to take a look tonight when he had nothing to do, and he didn't know if he didn't know that when he paid attention to the development of military and science and technology, cultural exchanges had naturally happened.

Because there was no suitable clay around the tribe, the pottery work was delayed, but the simple painting technique had spread among the tribe.

The "artists", who had no place to express themselves, painted their works on the rock walls of the caves. The cave, which used to be a residence, is now an art museum. Many of the murals are abstract and the stories are freehand, and Long Qiupeng is not particularly easy to grasp the content, while others, most of them are around the production and life of the tribe, and of course, some of them are dedicated to reflecting their own "heroic deeds".

Long Qiupeng found it interesting, so he looked at them one by one, and finally, his eyes fell on a group of unfinished murals.

As with other murals, the figures are so abstract that they can only be discerned. The first picture is of a god-like man holding a bow and handing it to a boy kneeling on the ground. In the second picture, the boy who got the bow and arrow is leading a large group of people up the mountain to hunt. In the third, the boy leads the people to kill the black monster with a bow and arrow. The last painting is not yet finished, but it can still be seen that all the people are kneeling around the gods.

Several of the paintings were only sketches, and they had not yet been painted like the others, but in such a short period of time, a mural was sketched, and it must have been formed in the painter's mind for a long time to be so easy.

He repeatedly pondered the two people in the picture, and finally confirmed that the god was himself, and the boy was a deer. He was just amusing at first, but he was soon inspired.

He realized that the time had come to unify the faith and build a religion.

When he first came to the primitive society, Long Qiupeng, who had an engineering background, always had a contemptuous attitude towards religion and theology, often equating this with feudal superstition, and even once thought that this was the main culprit hindering social development, so he always disdained to participate in religious ceremonies in the tribe, and had no intention of establishing faith at all.

However, as time passed, he continued to deepen his tribal rule, and he also found more and more that it was too difficult to establish his position in a primitive society with no social hierarchy and material sharing, especially after the annexation of two foreign tribes. The situation between the three tribes has always been a delicate balance.

Through the battle of making arrows and hunting bears, the actual power of the tribe returned to the dragon tribe, but if you want to consolidate the current situation once and for all, you will inevitably need various means.

The current three tribes of the tribe originally only had ignorant primitive worship, among which the Tao Department was influenced by the Furnace tribe, and some worshiped the fire element, but those worships have become thinner with the destruction of their homeland and the failure of several conquests.

At this time, Long Qiupeng appeared in front of them with the ability to transcend time and space, and did a lot of things that they revered and couldn't understand, and he was gradually endowed with a lot of godhead by his clansmen.

In addition, the brook and deer selected by him have also made outstanding contributions in the tribe, especially the deer, under his guidance, with such a thin figure, he has overcome all the men of the tribe and become the head of men.

This made the clansmen firmly believe that Long Qiupeng had heavenly power. Now, if we can establish religious beliefs as the spiritual core of the tribe, unite the tribe, and consolidate the rule of the dragon group headed by the dragon, it can be an economical and effective means.

Obviously, compared to those complete religions with complex doctrines and strict hierarchies, it is clear that totem worship is the best choice for Long Qiupeng. He is not very good at painting, but it is quite troublesome to choose real-world things as totems, and this one cannot be fought or killed in the future.

Long Qiupeng's surname is Long, so he also loves dragon patterns, and the back of the close-fitting T-shirt is also printed with a dragon pattern. In ancient times, there was no comfortable fabric, and he kept this T-shirt private, but now only this T-shirt can help him solve his urgent needs.

After the plan was made, he called the deer and said to him, "I, I want to worship the ancestors ......" This thing is different from others, and you have to do it really, so even if it is a deer, you can't know the truth in it.

Lu nodded, but looked at Long Qiupeng blankly, not knowing what to do, which stumped Long Qiupeng, he thought for a while, and said, "Let's follow the customs...... However, you'll need to prepare a wooden frame. ”

Wait until everything is ready. Long Qiupeng chose the place of sacrifice at the water's edge.

On the day of the sacrifice, he wore tribal costumes on his lower body, but he only wore a T-shirt on his upper body, not a jacket, exposing the black dragon pattern on his back.

One side of the altar faces the water, the other three sides of the dragon part are lined up on both sides of the main body, the martial part and the pottery part, and the altar with wooden shelves is surrounded by various offerings. Long Qiupeng heard that this was the result of the joint discussion of the three tribes, and almost all the sacrificial procedures of the three tribes were integrated, so the sacrifice was more complicated and grand than before.

He took the scepter and stood in the center of all of them, accepting the worship and reverence of all on behalf of his "ancestors", and the ritual was divided into several steps, first the people danced, then they kept shouting, and finally they all fell on the ground, no longer moving, waiting for him to speak.
