Chapter 15: The Dragon and the Fire
After waves of warm-up, the sacrifice also began to approach the climax, Long Qiupeng let out a loud shout, inserted the scepter into the ground, and then began to take off the T-shirt on his body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has been a person who has been keen on various sports since the time of modern society, slender but fit, is a typical example of thinness in clothes, undressed and fleshy, and has never been very "honest" He showed his strong muscles to his people for the first time. He didn't know that this kind of lean body, which belonged to primitive society, was originally a symbol of identity and ability. As a result, this detachment made the already high emotions of the clansmen even more enthusiastic. As they waited with bated breath, they suddenly erupted in another enthusiastic shout.
He didn't know anything about the rituals and sources of sacrifices. Now he can only take advantage of everyone's high mood, pretending to gently hold the T-shirt with dragon patterns, step by step solemnly towards the altar, and finally put it on the wooden shelf prepared in advance.
When the T-shirt was placed, the wind stirred the T-shirt, the T-shirt fluttered like a flag, and the pattern of the black dragon on the T-shirt also moved, which seemed lifelike, as if it had come to life.
When the clansmen saw this scene, the boiling stopped abruptly, and they all fell to the ground again.
Long Qiupeng knew that this was just a piece of clothing, but in order to make the trick, he also retreated to the front of the crowd respectfully, prostrate on the ground like them, and bowed down to his clothes. While praying, he still recited the words, but as for what he was reading, he didn't know very well.
He has been relatively upright since he was a child, and he is not very good at this kind of "pretending to be a ghost" performance, in order to avoid showing timidity, he must stop in moderation, so he stood up after worshipping a few times.
He walked up to the scepter with his head held high, pulled it out again, held it in his hand, and walked to the west of the T-shirt. He turned to face everyone and began his first important speech in his life:
"Clansmen! I am a descendant of the Long family, Long Qiupeng. Behind me is my ancestor - the dragon candle nine yin! The winding waterway in front of it is its incarnation, and the towering mountains and forests behind it are its hiding place. It is it that perceives your danger and guides me down from heaven to save you from fire and water.
"At this moment, you have passed its many tests, and you will become the chosen clan of the dragon, blessed by the dragon god. You will receive eternal life for your souls. In the future, whether you live or die, your soul will be with the dragon god. After speaking, Long Qiupeng raised his scepter and looked up at the sky, as if he was communicating with the dragon.
"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon! Dragon! When the people saw this, they also followed his example, looked up at the sky, and raised their arms and shouted. There were sacred, pious but satisfied expressions on their faces, as if they had really heard the dragon's call under Long Qiupeng's guidance.
Before everyone could calm down, Long Qiupeng lowered his head first, and even his own people again, he smiled, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
According to the rhythm on TV, the last step of the sacrifice should be to throw all the sacrifices into the river, but the tribe has not completely gotten rid of the food crisis, so it was wasted because of unnecessary things, and Long Qiupeng felt reluctant. So he decided to learn from the Han Dynasty and redistribute the gold offered by the princes to the princes. So he "falsely preached the holy decree" and said: "These sacrifices have been blessed by the dragon god, now you can divide them and accept the blessing of the dragon god." ”
After finishing speaking, the "Minister of Logistics" Xi Yingsheng stepped forward to collect all the sacrifices, and then, under her supervision, the scene divided all the sacrifices into about a considerable number and distributed them to everyone present.
Everyone held the sacrifices, with a posture of "dry this bowl of Ganges water, and be an Indian in the next life", Long Qiupeng always couldn't help but want to laugh for a while, in order not to show the stuffing, he waved his hand to let everyone disperse.
However, after the sacrifice was over, he still noticed that everyone had changed a little: on the one hand, everyone looked at him with some emotions in their eyes, as if he was the son of God and everyone had already known about it.
On the other hand, because he was of a different race before, Long Qiupeng, as the leader of the tribe, could not get the title of "leader", and there was some "racial discrimination" between the three tribes. But now, everyone suddenly recognized the fact that they were the "Long Clan" from their hearts, and willingly began to call Long Qiupeng the "leader".
A sacrificial activity finally made the tribe achieve a great unification from the inside out.
This religious activity of unifying ideology has achieved fruitful results, Long Qiupeng's dominance has been controlled, and the relations between the three tribes in the tribe have been effectively improved, and the scene has been very good.
But there is one exception to this, the Great Lake from the Tao Department, which is in chaos because of the "Dragon Totem Worship".
Judging by modern standards, Dahu is a typical technocratic nerd, although the body is weak and timid, but the brain is very smart. Unlike the deer's sensitivity to language, Dahu is more proficient in technology and primitive philosophy.
But because of this, he was shocked by faith for the first time in his life, and he was a little at a loss for the next period of time. Long Qiupeng didn't want to lose the technical director of the tribe because of this boring thing, so he took the initiative to talk to him and learn about the ideological trends of his comrades.
"Lushi, it turns out that fire is a god, and fire brings food, and also makes bronze vessels, which is the source of irresistible power between heaven and earth. Now ...... "Although Dahu is timid, he is pious and brave in front of Xinyang.
Long Qiupeng cared more about the panic and confusion he showed when he said these things than what he said. As a technoman, he shouldn't believe these things easily, and the reason why he believes today is probably because of what he has experienced before.
Long Qiupeng was not interested in the experience of the Great Lake, and he didn't need to know about it. All he knew now was that fire worship had been imprinted in Dahu's heart, forcibly depriving him of his faith, making him lose his faith in the gods and becoming a time bomb that would shake his religion, or shattering his entire spiritual system and abolishing the whole person.
Long Qiupeng believes that his tribe will expand in size, and the example of Dahu will not be the last, so it is too early to establish a "monotheism", and it is necessary to give others a way to live in their faith. The first step was to admit that the other person's beliefs were not false, so he said to Dahu, "Fire is indeed a god." ”
When Dahu heard this, his eyes flashed again, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about the dragon god?" ”
Long Qiupeng smiled and said, "It's also a god." Seeing Dahu's puzzled expression, he continued: "In ancient times, the Divine Dragon Candle Nine Yin created the world, creating the sun and the moon at four times, and the consumption of divine power was huge. The sky is high and the earth is wide, so Shenlong has created a lot of gods to help him manage the world, different gods have become leaders of different tribes in different places, I am a descendant of the Dragon clan, then the furnace clan is the descendant of the Fire Clan, so everyone is a god, which is not surprising. ”
Hearing Long Qiupeng's explanation, Dahu seemed to accept it a little, and the dazed expression became less, but he still said with some doubts: "That...... How...... I've never heard Lu say ......"
Long Qiupeng knew that Dahu's heart was shaken when he asked such a question, so he laughed and said, "Will you tell others that your ancestors are traitors?" To tell you the truth, this time the dragon god sent me to rectify this traitor, he will bring disaster to the world and mutilate his companions after he goes to the lower realm, and God will not tolerate it. The name of the dragon god I sent him back to heaven and sent him down personally. ”
Hearing this, Dahu's expression was even more shocked, but this shock was the shock of waking up from a dream, and the confusion on his face and eyes was swept away. Long Qiupeng left with a smile, but praised his mechanism in his heart. In this way, it not only solved the doubts in Dahu's heart, but also untied his fear of attacking the Furnace tribe and attacking the Fire God.
Yes, unlike the other tribes around the Long Qiupeng tribe, some of those tribes also had a higher level of technological development than their own tribes, but they believed in pacifism and posed less threat to their own tribes. But unlike them, if Long Qiupeng can't meet their requirements before the winter, then the Furnace tribe will definitely bulldoze the Long tribe after the beginning of spring, and then move on to the next tribe.
This hidden danger must be swept away, this idea was imprinted on Long Qiupeng's heart from the day Qingmang came to the Long Clan. Long Qiupeng hated the strong and the weak and the outstretched party the most in his life, the Lu tribe occupied both, Long Qiupeng had no reason to surrender to them, and promised to give them ten bucks as a delaying tactic and bait to lure the enemy, that's all.
At present, his position in the tribe has been stabilized, the basic food supply can also be satisfied, and the emotions of several key people in the Tao clan have also been calmed down, and there are no other worries for the time being, so he can start to clean up the Lu tribe.
However, for how to attack the Lu tribe, Long Qiupeng has not thought about it in his heart, he now knows almost nothing about the Lu tribe, it turns out that the old subordinates of the Tao tribe who are close to the Lu tribe defected to the Lu tribe as early as when the Tao tribe was defeated, and thinking about Dahu like this, almost once the Lu tribe has never been there, and he doesn't know the location and layout of the Lu tribe at all.
Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, it is impossible for Long Qiupeng not to know such a simple truth. Although the Long tribe had cultivated a group of reconnaissance teams to collect information, it was not within their ability to go deep into the other tribe, and he needed to go on his own.
Early this morning, Long Qiupeng didn't inform Lu and Dahu in advance, so he told them to pack up their things and prepare to go to the Lu tribe.
He chose the smallest boar in the stream, and then randomly called a few wounded men who had just recovered to help him carry the boar.
