Chapter 102: Life Needs a Sense of Ritual
The sound of the bone flute resounded through the fire tribe, and the tribesmen were not nervous because of the sound of the bone flute, but were full of joy and pride.
This bone flute, which is used to remind the enemy of the arrival, has more functions and roles after the sixth generation of bosses ascended to the throne.
Venison, wild boar, and wild goose meat are roasted on the bonfire, and children crouch beside them, drooling and watching the grease dripping from the meat.
The adults laughed and laughed, and from time to time cut off one or two pieces with stone knives and handed them to the children to eat, and the whole tribe enjoyed themselves.
The innermost bonfire gathered the high-ranking members of the tribe and the witches and leaders of the nearby small and medium-sized tribes, and they were also beaming.
Xiao Wang Ba was wandering among countless bonfires with the fifth Xuan, and when he saw the roasted meat, he opened his mouth to eat it, and no one dared to stop him, and he had to kowtow to him.
In the eyes of the tribesmen, being eaten by Xiao Wang Ba and taking a bite of his own roasted meat is a gift.
"Bring one to the wolf king, I guess she's hungry too. Fifth Xuan said in the totem.
He had been awake for a month, but his mental state was not good, like weakness after a hangover, and he was very sleepy.
But compared to him, the wolf tribe totem is the real miserable, and the wound left by the tiger spirit knife on her body has not healed so far, resulting in the wolf tribe still staying in the fire tribe for shelter.
Xiao Wang Ba nodded obediently, casually pulled a half-baked deer leg on the bonfire next to him, and turned around and walked towards the altar.
"Are you feeling better?"
Looking at the silver giant wolf lying on the altar, Fifth Xuan slowly asked.
He speaks Chinese, but the dialogue between the totem and the totem is the will transmitted through the totem fire, so the other party can understand it.
"I barely stopped bleeding and wanted to recover...... I don't know how long it will take. ”
The voice of the giant wolf came, delicate and gentle, this is a she-wolf.
Xiao Wang Ba threw the deer leg in his mouth over, and found a place to lie down by himself, he had just eaten a little too much, and he was too lazy to move.
"Do you want to change to a ripe one?" asked Fifth Xuan apologetically.
The fur on the silver giant wolf's face was retracted, and Fifth Xuan, who had been familiar with her for a while, knew that this was what she meant by smiling.
"I prefer to eat raw food to cooked food. The wolf spoke, reaching out and grabbing the deer's leg with his claws, and biting it with a big mouth.
Her voice is gentle, but her eating appearance has nothing to do with it, and she looks very wild.
"Gaba...... Gaba ......"
The deer bones were chewed by her sharp teeth, mixed with minced flesh and swallowed.
"Although I am a little presumptuous, I can't help but want to ask, how did you become a totem...... After all, all the totems I've seen are stones. ”
Fifth Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Quack, quack, ......"
The silver giant wolf swallowed the flesh and broken bones in his mouth, glanced up at the fifth Xuan, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke.
"According to my mother, it was because my ancestor saved a person, and then that person started to worship, and then found more people to worship, and then my ancestor became a totem, and my mother said so, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
After the silver giant wolf finished speaking, the sound of the bone flute in the distance of the altar suddenly intensified, and she couldn't help but get up curiously, walked to the edge of the altar, and looked down.
"They're greeting my child, the next witch of the wolf tribe, it's ...... Interesting rituals. ”
The silver giant wolf spoke, his gaze following the figure in the distance.
There, the leader of the sixth generation was in front, holding the hand of the next witch of the wolf tribe, and was slowly walking towards the center of the fire tribe.
Surrounded by warriors playing bone flutes, the low bone flutes were heavy with a little festivity, and the sixth generation leader threw out the jerky in his hands from time to time, so that the children of the Fire Tribe excitedly picked it up and put it in their mouths.
"Life needs a sense of ritual, and I think that's good. ”
Fifth Xuan urged Xiao Wang Ba to come to the silver giant wolf and stand still, and slowly spoke.
"I think you should wave your paws so that everyone will be happier. ”
The silver giant wolf glanced at Fifth Xuan suspiciously, and instead of listening to his wave of wolf claws, he slowly spoke.
"Huh~~"
This wolf howl is not as delicate as when she talks to the fifth mystery, but it gives people a sense of long-term and vicissitudes.
Fifth Xuan's gaze swept downward, and sure enough, many people's eyes were attracted.
The leader of the sixth generation and the next witch of the wolf tribe were followed by many wolf tribe warriors, and they were all accompanied by a giant wolf, and at this time, listening to the wolf howl of the silver giant wolf, those giant wolves couldn't help but follow along.
"Oh~oh~~oh~~~"
The warrior of the wolf tribe couldn't help but put his hand in front of his mouth, making a short but rhythmic sound, responding to the giant wolf beside him.
"Your tribe...... It's really unique. ”
The fifth Xuan didn't know how to describe the harmonious side of wolves and people, so he could only use a unique description.
The silver giant wolf turned his head and looked at him and said, "In the era of hunger and cold, we used to continue the two races by eating each other's corpses. ”
The fifth Xuan was silent, and an inexplicable smell rose in his heart.
The sound of the bone flute, the welcome of the road, this is the ceremony of the sixth generation leader to marry the next witch of the wolf tribe, warm and full of ritual.
Such a ceremony is a new policy promoted by the sixth generation of leaders after taking the throne: extra-clan marriage.
For this policy, the fifth Xuan is supportive, and it is easy to have problems when close relatives marry, but in fact, the sixth generation of leaders promotes this policy, not for this reason, but for the sake of ...... Coalition.
Through marriage, he united the surrounding tribes and made the Fire tribe closer and more harmonious with other tribes, which was his method of governing the surrounding tribes, which was softer and more acceptable than the sixth generation of witches.
"How do you tribal totems continue......? It's impossible to live forever. ”
Fifth Xuan asked curiously, taking advantage of today's festive day, he asked a lot of questions that he was concerned about.
"I will pass on the power of totems to my children, when necessary. ”
The silver wolf spoke, howling again, causing a burst of echoes.
A couple of newcomers came to the altar, the sixth generation leader took the lead in kneeling in front of the fifth Xuan, and the next witch of the wolf tribe knelt down.
Fifth Xuan lit the totem fire on his body, and shot a wisp that swept over the heads of the two of them, like a caressing.
After the two knelt down to the fifth Xuan, they bowed to the wolf totem, and the silver giant wolf did the same, and stroked the two with totem power.
Fifth Xuan's eyes looked at the next witch of the wolf tribe, this child is not very old, his eyebrows are like knives, and there is anger in his eyes, he is worthy of being a primitive person who has been in contact with wolves all year round.
The two of them bowed down to the two totems, and after receiving the blessing, they began to eat the roasted venison leg.
These rituals were all discussed between him and the sixth generation of witches, and after they finished eating the venison leg meat, the sixth generation of witches and wolf tribe witches stepped forward to bless the two.
At this point, the simple and ceremonial wedding was over, and the Fire Tribe began to share the barbecue on the bonfire for the guests.
Fifth Xuan basked in the sun on the altar, looking at the lively and peaceful fire tribe below, hoping that the entire tribe would continue to live quietly like this, without so many disasters and wars.
