Chapter 717: Fish Burial
On the big shell, after the totem pattern flashed, the tightly closed two shells finally opened.
A strange fishy smell came from within, like the stench of fish that had rotted away after being thrown ashore by a pterodactyl.
However, considering that it was inside the shell, it may have been because of too much time, and the things inside the shell rotted and smelled, but when Shao Xuan and Gui Yan looked over, they found that inside the shell, in addition to some fish skins that showed no signs of decay, there was also a person.
If you say it's a person, you can't see it anymore.
Looking at the body type, it was just a child, a teenager, but the child's whole body was severely ulcerated, and there was hardly a good piece of skin visible outside the clothes, let alone what the child looked like.
And that rotting fish-like stench came from the child.
However, although he couldn't see it because of his festering skin, his eyes were very beautiful, and he didn't become gloomy because of such a miserable situation, and when he first woke up, he was a little confused, but after he quickly came back to his senses, he looked at Shao Xuan and his party with doubts in his eyes.
He Bian's voice was soft, for fear that his tone would be heavy and scare the child, "Dot, this is the Yanjiao tribe, the place where Wu said, it should be here." ”
After speaking, He Bian introduced Shao Xuan again, "She is from our Dishan tribe...... A child was sick because she was sick, so Wu asked us to bring her to seek help. ”
Now Gui Yan understands what He Bian means by "save our tribe".
I'm afraid that the Dishan tribe didn't have more than one child with this strange disease, but only brought one of the children out. If most of the children are sick and cannot be treated, this tribe will have no future, and it will almost be a blow to extermination, no wonder He Bian was so excited at that time, and he couldn't calm down. Maybe the reaction will be more intense than Hebian's.
It's just that their tribe's healing methods can cure ordinary injuries and diseases, but this strange disease may not be able to be cured, and he has never seen such a strange disease. Moreover, the cause of the disease may be related to the living conditions of the people of Dishan, how can they understand the Yanjiao people?
I can't help if I want to.
Gui Yan looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan's plan. Anyway, on this top, he, the leader, has no choice, so he will find someone to go to the medicine house and call Gui Ze over.
Gui Ze gasped violently when he saw the child in the shell, but quickly restrained the shock in his heart, "She doesn't look good. ”
It's not just bad. It's at stake!
He Bian and the others were bitter in their hearts, but they didn't want to say some things directly for the time being, but looked at the people in Yanjiao expectantly, hoping that they could have a way to help, Wu said, many tribes here like shells, they don't have anything else, but there are many shells. Even if they didn't, they would have gone to the sea to get it back. If they need it, they will do everything they can to find it, as long as they can find a cure. This has already been expressed by He Bian. What he was waiting for now was the attitude of the Flame Horn.
For a moment, the room was unusually quiet.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Dozens of pairs of eyes inside and outside the house of the Dishan tribe all looked at Guize, after all, there was only one witch here. As for the leaders and the great elders, they all left them behind.
Just when Gui Ze was thinking about what to say, Shao Xuan said loudly: "It's better to be like this, you guys are here now, see what food you need, and only when you are full can you have energy, as for what you said, after all, it is not simple, we also need to discuss it." ”
He Bian opened his mouth, he was anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't be anxious now, so he could only suppress his anxiety.
Over there, after Shao Xuan and his party left there, they came to the medicine house.
The people of the Dishan tribe need some wound medicine, and Gui Ze asked people to send some over, all of which are configured with some ordinary herbs, and it is no problem to take a few more packets of them.
When there were only Shao Xuan, Gui Ze, Gui Yan and the two retired witches in the room, Gui Ze said: "That child is very strange, she has two totemic powers in her body. ”
Gui Yan and the others couldn't see it, but as a witch with a keen sense of the power of the totem and the breath of fire, Gui Ze could see the key. When he saw the child in the shell at that time, Gui Ze's reaction was so big, not only because of the child's condition, but also because of this deeper discovery.
Shao Xuan also saw this, and because of this, he was strange.
"The power of two totems?!" is the first time I've heard of it.
The power of totems comes from totems, and the power of two totems means two kinds of totems.
How can there be two totems in one tribe?
Does that mean that the Dishan tribe has two different kindlings?
But how can two different fires coexist?
"How did that child's illness come about?" Gui Qi felt that his cognition was refreshed again. Sure enough, there are no wonders in the world.
"The reason why she became so terrifying was because of the conflict between the two totemic powers in her body. Even if a child does not have the power of awakening totem, there is only no awakening in the body, not without the power of totem, as long as it exists, this contradiction and conflict also exists. Gui Ze explained.
There are solutions to external injuries, internal injuries, poisoning, etc., and there is no way to know which direction to think about and solve, but how do they solve the problem of fire and totem?
"There's one thing you may not have noticed. Shao Xuan said.
"What?" Gui Ze wondered.
"It's not just that kid, but the other people of the Dishan tribe all have this kind of situation, but their degree is not so serious. ”
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Not only Gui Ze and Gui Yan, but also the two old men who had been silent next to them also exclaimed.
"Ah Xuan, what do you mean, the Dishan tribe, maybe the entire tribe has such a situation?" the old man asked.
Shao Xuan nodded, "Very likely." ”
"Then it's no wonder, I thought that only some of the children there might have such a disease, but I didn't expect that it was about the entire Dishan tribe!"
"Then do they really believe in two kinds of totems in the Dishan tribe?" the old lady said and shook her head, "It shouldn't be, otherwise the Dishan tribe would have been left alone." ”
"Is it because they want to fuse the fire of another tribe?" Gui Qi guessed.
This speculation is not unfounded, there were also tribes that won in battles a long time ago. wanted to merge the fire of the other tribe into the fire of his own tribe, but failed, so when the tribe fought later, he didn't think about it anymore, and he directly extinguished the other party's fire, which was mentioned in the handwriting of the ancestor of Yanjiao. He also solemnly warned the descendants of Yanjiao not to mess around, otherwise something big would happen.
"Instead of guessing, it's better to ask directly, they want to ask for help, and they can't hide it. Shao Xuan said.
"Also, if they still don't tell the truth, we don't have to meddle in things. Gui Qi agreed.
After deciding, Shao Xuan went to talk to He Bian and returned to Ze. Then go to the child in the shell.
When Shao Xuan asked He Bian to find a room to talk alone, He Bian seemed very restless, but he just endured it.
As soon as he saw Shao Xuan, He Bian hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, is there a solution?" He only remembered that this person was the Great Elder, and as for the name, he didn't pay attention to it, and he forgot it after hearing it.
Shao Xuan handed over a cup of tea soaked with herbs, "Not for the time being." So I want to know more, there are some questions that need to be clarified. ”
"You ask!" He Bian was not taboo. He poured a sip of the warm tea in the pottery cup, waiting for Shao Xuan's words. The faint bitterness and freshness of the tea relieved the tiredness of the body, and the impatience at the beginning was slightly lighter, and when he spoke, he was clearer.
"You tribe. Only one totem?"
"Of course there is only one!" He Bian felt that Shao Xuan's question was stupid, of course there was only one sacred thing like a totem! How could there be two?
"There's only one tinder?" Shao Xuan asked again.
"Of course!" said Hebian, puzzled even more. Is there a brain disease in the horn of the Yanjiao? Can you ask this kind of mentally retarded question?
"Didn't you think about fusing other fires?" Shao Xuanquan didn't see He Bian's eyes.
"How could we do such a stupid thing?!" He Bian almost dropped his glass. They don't like to communicate with other tribes, but they still know the most basic things!
Shao Xuan was thinking in his heart: I'm afraid that the rest of the Dishan tribe doesn't know the deeper problems here. But that doesn't mean that no one knows, they just didn't tell Hebian. I didn't even tell the chief, it seems that in the Dishan tribe, the status of the leader is not so high.
He Bian originally thought that if this Yanjiao Great Elder asked such a stupid question again, he might not be able to hold back his anger, but fortunately, the question he heard in the next moment was quite normal.
"Tell me about the customs of your Qishan tribe. Shao Xuan said.
Is this related to healing?
He Bian glanced at Shao Xuan suspiciously, but with hope, he still said patiently.
"Our Dishan tribe has many differences from other tribes, and if you want to say the most special, it should be Diyu. He Bian said.
"Diyu?"
"Yes, there is a mountain near the sea, called Di Mountain, and there are fish in Di Mountain, called Di Yu. Our Dishan tribe has lived in Dishan for generations, and has also lived with Diyu for generations. The ancestors of the Dishan tribe had to help them come to the bottom of the Dishan Mountain safely and establish the Dishan tribe. Among the totems of Di Mountain, there is Di Fish!"
Shao Xuan thought of the totem of the Dishan tribe that he had seen, and the fish part on the totem with the fish pattern on the human face should be the fish that He Bian said, but just looking at the totem, he couldn't know what the fish looked like.
"Diyu is an important part of my Dishan tribe, and Diyu will also come to participate in the tribal sacrifice, and if someone in our tribe dies, according to the clan rules of the Dishan tribe, it will not be cremated in the fire pond like you, but will be buried by fish. ”
The fish burial that He Bian said is not to bury the fish directly, but to throw the deceased into the water and bury it in the belly of the fish.
And the executor of this fish burial method is the Diyu who lives under the Di Mountain!
Fish ...... It was hell.
If it is really just as He Bian said, the Dishan tribe and the Zao tribe are almost the same, and the crocodiles of the Zao tribe are part of the Zao tribe and have lived together for generations. If you want to talk about the difference, there is only the fish burial.
The people of the Sazu tribe will bury fish, but there is no such thing as fish burial. (To be continued.) )
