Chapter 278 One by one

From the tribe all the way to here, they drove for five days, and they only had a short rest on the way, and they also found two caves that could be used as strongholds, of course, there were originally fierce beasts in the caves, but they were surrounded and suppressed by them, and they served as dinner that day.

Everyone can be described as fighting bloodily, and the deeper into the mountains and forests, the familiar, exciting, dangerous, and blood-boiling hunting feeling that used to be returned. They love their hometown very much, and they are also very satisfied with this mountain forest.

If the other tribes knew how the Yanjiao people felt about this mountain forest, they would definitely think that the people of the Yanjiao tribe were all neurotics, and they liked to be neighbors with fierce beasts and look for abuse.

But the Yanjiao people who came from the other side of the river have been exposed to such an environment since childhood, and it is easier for them to adapt to such an environment.

Sometimes the two big leaders still wonder if there will be a place like a green space where all kinds of precious and dangerous plants grow in the deeper part of the mountain forest.

It's only been five days, and everyone is like a killer crawling out of a thick sea of blood, full of ruthlessness and evil. And the fierce beasts that were brought out together looked even more fierce, if it weren't for the fact that their eyes were a little slower when they looked at the Yanjiao tribesmen, they were obedient enough, otherwise, at first glance, they would feel no different from the indigenous fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.

"That's it. ”

Shao Xuan pointed to a place on the mountain and said.

Although they haven't walked there yet, the tower and the return gully look along the direction Shao Xuan pointed out, and can clearly see the place where a big stone is blocked, and behind the stone, it must be the cave where Shao Xuan said that the ancestors stayed.

Taking a deep breath, everyone couldn't help but tidy up the animal skin clothes on their bodies, patted the grass clippings sticking to the animal skin clothes, and washed their faces next to a clear spring on the mountain, and wiped away some dried blood stains on their arms, legs and feet.

Face the ancestors. They will all take it seriously.

After carefully tidying up, the group went to the place on the mountain.

There was no longer the kind of guardian power that Shao Xuan had encountered when he came over the last time he came to the cave, and it looked no different from an ordinary cave.

Removing the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave and letting a few fierce beasts guard outside, Shao Xuan took the two big bosses and the others into the cave.

The insect-proof herbs that were sprinkled in the cave last time are still there, but the smell is much lighter.

Before Shao Xuan left last time. Although traps were set up and some insect-proof herbs were sprinkled, because the power to guard the cave was gone, Shao Xuan was worried that the remains of the ancestors would rot, so he put the bone ornament on his neck on the person who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and dressed like a witch, and the remains of the other six ancestors were also moved close by Shao Xuan. Since in the cave of the stone insect king insect at the beginning, the bone ornament was able to protect the remains of those ancestors, and it should be able to do so now.

After entering the hole. Shao Xuan took a closer look, and the remains of the seven ancestors were the same as the last time he saw them, and they did not decay quickly, which made Shao Xuan feel a lot more relieved.

Every time they saw the remains of their ancestors, the people of the Yanjiao tribe were always very excited, especially after listening to Shao Xuan talk about what they saw when they entered the cave last time, Ta and Gui Qi and others were even more eager to bow down and bow down again to show their admiration for the ancestors.

Tower with torches. Cautiously followed Shao Xuan to the innermost part of the cave.

"These are 'history'. Shao Xuan pointed to the boxes and said.

Whether it's the ancestors or these boxes containing the "history" of Flamehorn. They will all send it back to the tribe at any cost.

After seeing the ancestors and "history", the two big leaders led people out of the cave and went down the mountain to cut wood to make a palanquin. In fact, it is not a sedan chair, but it is made of three carriages, each of which is carried by four people, and the others are guarding around.

Shao Xuan and his entourage rested in this cave for two days. In the past two days, the sedan chair used to carry the ancestors has also been prepared. The remains of the seven ancestors were carefully placed in one palanquin, and the boxes containing "history" were placed in two separate batches in the other two palanquins.

There are only a few things left in the cave, and many of them have lost their original appearance, if you usually see these in the tribe. It will definitely be thrown away as garbage, but this is left by the ancestors, the meaning is different, what can be taken away together, and what is not necessary to be taken away, will continue to be placed in the cave.

"When the route is opened up in the future, we will come back. Gui Yan said.

The speed of going back is much slower, after all, you have to take the ancestors and "history" with you, and you have to let it go so that it will not be destroyed by other fierce beasts, which naturally consumes more time.

At this time, a few fierce beasts are very good, they will attract other fierce beasts they encounter, and then find a place to solve them, instead of fighting around those palanquins.

Eight days later, the group returned to the tribe. When they were still some distance away from the tribe, they met the people who were sent by the witch and the leader to meet them, and they also shared the pressure of everyone.

Everyone had injuries on their bodies, as did a few fierce beasts, but they were all in good spirits. The former is because he brought back the ancestors and "history", and he thinks it is a supreme honor, while the latter feels that he ran out and had a good time, although he almost died several times and had many injuries on his body, but he was happy enough.

Those from the outside had already left, and the people in the tribe stopped what they were doing and followed the Wu and the leader to the border to greet them.

Some people didn't know why they were in such a position at first, but after everyone told each other, they couldn't help but get excited.

"That's an ancestor!"

"What did the ancestors look like?"

"It must be mighty!"

"I have heard that those who have worshiped their ancestors can be blessed by their ancestors! A warrior I know has worshipped before, and he has overcome several times when he encountered dangers during hunting. ”

"Have you found an ancestor before?"

"Yes, I heard that Elder Shao Xuan found it. ”

"And what about this time?"

"I heard that it was also discovered by Elder Shao Xuan. ”

“...... Worthy of an elder......"

......

For the Yanjiao people, even if the remains of the ancestors were so rotten that only a skeleton remained, they still carried a sacrosanct immortal smell.

It's a pity that they didn't see the appearance of the ancestors, only three large "boxes", carried by a dozen or so people.

"Welcome back to our ancestors!"

The witch and the leader were the first to bow down.

Thousands of people were densely packed at the border, all kneeling down, even children who didn't know anything, at this time they also knelt down with the adults, without their usual stubbornness, they had a very strange feeling, a little heavy, but also a little excited.

At the beginning, after Shao Xuan brought back the remains of the ancestors in the cave of the stone insect king worm, the tribe held a ceremony to cremate the ancestors, which was naturally the same this time, but it was not held immediately.

Because of the protection of bone ornaments, the remains of the seven ancestors did not decay quickly, and the witch placed them in a room in the stone house, and then did not leave the house for several days, not all the time in front of the ancestors, but to study the "history" that was brought back.

Ao will also go over to see it every day, and Gui Ze, who was selected by Wu as the next successor of Wu, follows Wu every day to look at the "history" left behind.

There is too much information in this that they need to grasp, Shao Xuan and Gui Ze divide labor, comprehensively classify the ones selected by the witches, and then re-transcribe them, such as the records of celestial phenomena, farming, animal husbandry, handicrafts, etc., although thousands of years have passed, some of them are still very helpful.

Whether it is Wu or the leader Ao, although they knew that the Yanjiao tribe had been glorious before, but after all, there was no more specific concept, and the records left by the ancestors were limited, but now, through these "histories", they deeply felt the prosperity of the year.

Thinking of the arrogant faces of those people who fell on the outside a few days ago, and then thinking about the once domineering Yanjiao tribe, Ao only felt that there was a long way to go, Yanjiao needed to develop, and it needed to return to the strength of the year, but it also took time.

"Who are those ancestors who came back?"

Wu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "At the time of the disaster, the Wu of the Yanjiao tribe passed on the position of Wu to the next one, and asked the new Wu and the leader to leave with the people of the tribe, while he himself took more than a hundred people to take these precious 'histories' to the mountains and forests to hide them in case they were damaged by natural disasters or man-made disasters. More than 100 people, including the witch, guarded 'history' until the end of their lives. ”

"More than a hundred?" Shao Xuan wondered, when he found the cave, there were only seven, including the old witch.

"Others...... All dead...... There are no bones left!" Wu stroked a small scroll of animal skin in his hand, which was the last record of the witch, and he felt that the words were bloody, and it was extremely heavy.

At the time of the natural disaster, the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests were also frightened and became manic because of the sudden changes in the heavens and the earth. When I encountered such a madman-like beast, every day someone who went out to hunt died, and there was not even a corpse left. In the end, only seven of them remained, and they did not wait for their people until they died.

"If one day, in the same situation, I will do the same. Wu said.

"When are you going to hold the sacrifice?" asked Shao Xuan.

Wu didn't answer, but asked Shao Xuan: "Can you re-engrave the carvings on those stone pillars?"

"No problem. Shao Xuan said.

During the time they left to go to the Fierce Beast Mountain Forest, Ao had already brought more than a thousand people to transport several huge stone pillars. Wu meant that Shao Xuan understood that he hoped that those stone pillars could be made well before cremating the ancestors.

Because the stone pillar is too big, it is impossible for Shao Xuan to complete it all. Wu and the leader called some people with good stone skills, polished the stone pillar first, don't be pitted, a corner here and a convex one, and wait for the stone pillar to be polished for the first time, and then Shao Xuan will engrave the patterns in his memory.

In the past, Shao Xuan only remembered the patterns of Shizhu Mountain, and couldn't understand what it was, but after reading the older and more detailed records left by his ancestors, he found that many patterns on the stone pillars had special significance, and the patterns depicted on different stone pillars were also different in different locations. And in addition to being used as sundials, they also have a sacrificial meaning.

It is no wonder that Wu hopes that when cremating the ancestors, the missing things around him that have been destroyed will be completed one by one according to the records left by the ancestors. That was the most orthodox sacrificial ritual of the Yanjiao tribe. (To be continued......)
