Chapter 63: Sacrifice to the Gods
"That's what you mean?" Liang Jian's majestic voice sounded, and everyone didn't dare to speak for a while.
Each clan tribe has its own sacrificial god, that is, the totem, and each tribe will depict the totem image on the tribal territory boundary stone, this belief is extremely respectful for the primitive people with low productivity, and it also means that it is difficult to change easily.
Primitive people know little about the origin and reproduction of human beings, and they live in a harsh and harsh natural environment, and this longing and yearning for the gods has prompted them to have spiritual sustenance in times of disease, natural disasters, and man-made disasters.
Therefore, Qin Yueliang Jian knew the difficulties of these people, but if the rise of a tribe did not have a unified civilization and faith, it would be a plate of scattered sand.
The air was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Liang Jian, their eyes with a hint of guilt, embarrassment and overwhelm, Qin Yue sighed, and was about to speak.
"I am willing to sacrifice to the god of fire. The immature but firm voice sounded, and Ah Liang stood up and looked at the bonfire with blazing eyes.
Qin Yue was relieved for a while, if it weren't for so many people watching, she would definitely touch his head, this kid didn't waste her hard work in vain.
As soon as Ah Liang's words fell, everyone began to hesitate, and the eyes of the person who spoke before flashed hesitation, but he didn't dare to make a decision easily, and changed the sacrificial god at will for fear of being punished by the gods.
"Your tribe has long since perished, and the gods you worship have not protected you, and since the gods have abandoned you, you need not worry about the gods being dissatisfied. We have endless food and a warm house to live in, all from the god of fire that we worship, who shelters us, and we should worship the god of fire. Liang Jian looked serious and serious.
Qin Yue secretly snickered, but his face was silent, and he immediately echoed: "No matter what the sacrificial god was before, since you came to the Yanhuang tribe, you should sacrifice to the god of fire, only the god of fire can bring us food for the stomach, bright and warm fire." ”
The faces of those people were a little shaken, and the first person to speak opened his mouth, but he stopped talking. These ten people came from different small tribes, and they sacrificed to different gods, and their blind worship of the gods did not shelter them when they were hungry and cold, but came here to be fed and clothed.
"You need not be afraid to anger the gods, for the god of fire we worship is the god of the sun and the god of the earth, and he is superior to other gods and will surely protect you. I am a witch doctor, and I can communicate with the god of fire, and I will pass on your respect to him. Qin Yue saw that they were a little relieved, and took another dose of fierce medicine, and a flame suddenly rose in her hand, which was clearly visible in the darkness, "You see, this is the flame given to me by the Fire God, and he told me that as long as we sincerely worship him, he will make our Yanhuang tribe unprecedentedly strong." ”
Everyone was startled, their eyes staring at the cluster of fire in Qin Yue's hand, and under the moonlight, a thin halo shrouded Qin Yue's body, like a divine light, which made them believe in her words.
The reverence for the gods made them dare not doubt it, and everyone knelt on the ground, their eyes full of devotion when they raised their heads.
The flames disappeared in the palm of his hand, Qin Yue put the lighter in his pocket, coughed a few times, and said solemnly: "From now on, our sacrificial god is the god of fire, and our tribe is the Yanhuang tribe, and we will swear to defend the glory of the Yanhuang tribe in the future, do you understand?"
Everyone prostrate on the ground, nodding their heads, seeing this, Qin Yue sat down and stopped talking, fooling people She is good, but she can't use majesty to deter others.
Liang Jian glanced at Qin Yue inexplicably, and saw that the corners of her mouth were upturned proudly, and she was quite helpless, but she did solve the big trouble in a hurry.
He said a few words with great momentum, and finalized the tribal affairs, and now it is a cold winter, at most one or two months will go from winter to spring, and the specific matters need to be implemented in the spring.
Liang Jian is undoubtedly the patriarch of the tribe, who decides all matters of the tribe, and Qin Yue is the witch doctor, in charge of the doctor and sacrifice. There is no specific time for tribal sacrifices here, but most of them are in winter and spring, and each tribe has different periods.
Qin Yue and Liang Jian discussed and decided to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony in a few days, so that they could strike while the iron was hot and completely change the sacrificial habits of these people, so as not to sway them and be detrimental to the stability of the tribe.
That night, after the agreement was completed, several people went back to the house to sleep.
When the sky was slightly white, Qin Yue woke up, she lay on Liang Jian's chest, reached out to caress his cheeks that had gone through the vicissitudes of the past few days, and the beard that came out of her chin was a little prickly.
Liang Jian had always slept lightly, and the slight movement also made him open his narrow eyes, and he reached out to pinch her cold little hand and put it into the animal skin blanket. "Why did you wake up?" the early morning voice was lazy and hoarse, and the magnetic and seductive male voice was beautiful.
The head drilled into his warm chest, against his smooth jawline, and his voice was as crisp as a yellow bird in the woods, "You have a beard and hands, it's time to shave?"
He looked up again at the broken hair on his forehead that blocked the star's eyes, "Hmm...... It's time to cut your hair and cover your eyes. ”
Liang Jian hugged her sideways, smiled at her, a pool of starlight broke in his eyes, and said indifferently: "You help me cut it." ”
Qin Yue looked up and smiled ill-willedly: "Okay, I'll cut it for you." ”
Liang Jian picked her up, the two of them got dressed, it was cold, and Qin Yue wrapped a piece of animal skin tightly around her body, looking like a bloated bear.
The sky slowly overflowed with red light, and wisps of warm light shone into the room, and at this time everything was quiet, and several people in the hall were snoring.
Qin Yue walked beside them cautiously, it was cold, these people were sleeping close to each other to keep warm, but a thin figure was wrapped in animal skins tightly, and slept against the wall of the wooden house at the very edge.
Qin Yue frowned, Ah Liang was too unsociable, it seemed that there was still a long way to go to enlighten him.
Liang Jian opened the wooden door, there was a soft creak, Qin Yue looked back, and they were still asleep.
The light inside the house was dim, and the outside of the house was much brighter, Qin Yue pulled Liang Jian to squat under the eaves, picked up a Mongolian knife and carefully shaved his beard, and held small scissors to cut him a refreshing short haircut.
Her hair was waist-length, the end of her hair was smooth and jet-black and swept around her waist, her hair was long and it was not easy to take care of without a comb, she looked up and frowned at Liang Jian, "My hair is so long, why don't you cut it too." ”
"Why do you want to cut your hair?" Liang Jian stared at her jet-black hair, reaching out and caressing it gently, her fingers between her long hair. He liked her long hair and always rubbed her soft strands when he slept.
"My hair has never been combed, and if I don't cut it shorter, I will become a crazy woman in the future, just like the primitive women in their tribe, don't you dislike it!" Qin Yue glanced at him, she naturally knew that he liked long hair, but long hair was too troublesome.
Thinking about her crazy woman's appearance, Liang Jianjun frowned slightly, paused, and said in a low voice: "Don't cut it first, let's talk about it later." ”
Qin Yue nodded helplessly, she didn't want to cut it either, long hair covering her neck in the harsh winter was warmer than short hair, she made up her mind to cut it off when spring came.
I braided two braids and hung them on my chest, tied them with ropes, and didn't talk about this topic anymore.
Time flies, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the long-awaited spring has come unexpectedly.
