Chapter 197: Observing the Heavens and Asking for Rain
Since leaving the rain tribe, Yang Sui has been following some long-distance teams most of the time, and with those long-distance teams, he has developed the habit of talking a lot, and he will talk to someone if he has nothing to do.
Just like now, Shao Xuan asked, as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't stop.
After leaving the tribe, he passed through which places, which people he had seen, which tribes, Yang Sui said, these are not very secret things, and he also has a kind of show off when he says it. In many tribes, most people don't have the opportunity to move around like this, and they don't have the guts, but Yang Sui not only did it, but also lived safely until now.
"Actually, I'm not the real witch of our tribe yet, and when I go back this time, I can really take over. Yang Sui said proudly.
"Your tribe, aren't you afraid of accidents?" asked Shao Xuan.
"This can't be helped, this is the rule set by the ancestors, if I die, there will be the next person who will continue to walk this path, until someone succeeds and goes back to be qualified to take over the position of witch from the previous one. Yang Sui said.
Thinking of something, Shao Xuan asked: "If Wu leaves the tribe and has an accident, can there be the next Wu?"
"Naturally, there is. Yang Sui was very strange that Shao Xuan didn't even know this, but he glanced at the knife in Shao Xuan's hand, and for the sake of Shao Xuan giving him a beast leg, he said: "As long as there is fire, you can get another one when the witch is gone, but it is a little troublesome to cultivate, and the way each tribe chooses witches is different." As for the chief, it's even simpler, whoever has the ability to be strong will come up according to the rules of their respective tribes. ”
That is to say, if there is a fire, there is a qiē, and when the fire is gone, there is no qiē. ”
"That's right, that's why I'm confused. Where's the fire of your Flame Horn?"
“...... Not here. ”
"Oh. Seeing that Shao Xuan didn't want to say more, Yang Sui didn't ask more, when it came to the secret things of the tribe, no matter who would say more.
After thinking about Yang Sui's words for a while, Shao Xuan thought of the inheritance method of the Yanjiao tribe now, and sighed in his heart.
Tut. The Flame Horn Tribe's mutilated fire is not fully functional.
After no longer talking about the topic of tinder, because of the Yanjiao tribe that "perished" nearly a thousand years ago, Yang Sui mentioned the Lu tribe again, which is also an old tribe with a long history in the central region, and they were able to gain a foothold in the central part of the country, in addition to their breeding talents, but also because of the ancestors of the Lu tribe.
"The ancestor of the Lu tribe?" Shao Xuan didn't expect to be able to trace back to that time.
"I've heard people say that I've been running away for a year with a purpose." Yang Sui also knew a lot of things.
"It is said that nearly a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Lu tribe helped several large tribes in central China when the heavens and the earth were greatly changed. At that time, food was scarce, and many people were eyeing the Lu tribe, but the ancestors of the Lu tribe were also powerful, and they not only provided food to those big tribes. They were also taught some better farming techniques, although many of them learned them. It was not as good as the people of the Lu tribe, but at least it alleviated the crisis at that time. The ancestors of several tribes made a two-benefit agreement, and the Lu tribe was protected because of it, and until now, the several tribes have maintained close ties with each other. ”
If you want to talk about breeding, it is indeed as Yang Sui said. Many seemingly very simple techniques, even if others follow them, they are not as good as those raised by the Lu tribe. For areas with a large number of human tribes, most of the food comes from cultivation and breeding, and many of the tribes in the middle of the country come from cultivation. There are large areas for farming and breeding, and they are larger than the ancestors of the Yanjiao tribe recorded.
There is no doubt that in this millennium, there has been a great development in breeding and cultivation.
It seems that if there is a chance, I will go to the Lu tribe to learn from the experience. Shao Xuan thought to himself.
After staying in his hometown for another two days, Shao Xuan decided to leave.
Winter is coming, the temperature has dropped significantly, and he still has to find someone.
"Where are you going?" Yang Sui asked.
"The Longboat Tribe. ”
"Hey, that's a coincidence, so am I...... After passing over there, I'm going back to the Rain Tribe, and going that way is not a long detour. ”
Yang Sui didn't know how long it would take to find a long-distance team with the same route after leaving the Fierce Beast Mountain Forest, and even if he did, he couldn't be sure if that team was safe. And Shao Xuan, in Yang Sui's opinion, is a powerful person, and there is an eagle, which is definitely much safer than walking alone. If he goes by himself, what if he goes out and meets someone from the Wanshi tribe?
Yang Sui said that he wanted to go along, Shao Xuan did not refuse, he did not know much about this side, and the time to walk around was not as long as Yang Sui, listening to what Yang Sui just said, it could be seen that Yang Sui had a good understanding of the situation in the central region. With him to guide the way, Shao Xuan can also improve the map in his hand.
After getting Shao Xuan's consent, Yang Sui was very happy and excited. He watched the chirping in the sky and jumped in anticipation. I don't know if the eagle's back is comfortable, and I can show off to others when I go back, my brother is a person who has sat on the eagle!
"But......" Yang Sui looked at the sky, "there will be rain today, until the evening, let's wait, find a place to take shelter, and set off tomorrow, how about it? ”
Shao Xuan looked at the sky, and the change in the clouds was not obvious, but he still nodded.
Not far from the fire pond in the old place, there is a recessed place on the mountain, although it is not as spacious as the cave, and it is enough to shelter from the rain.
When sheltering from the rain, Shao Xuan asked Yang Sui: "Can you observe the sky?"
The weather changes quickly, and the common sense of the previous life is only partially applicable, so many times, Shao Xuan is not accurate about the weather, and the changes in cloud cover are sometimes very fast, and it is difficult to draw conclusions long in advance.
"Watching the sky? Yang Sui said: "I was the first to be selected to be the first candidate for witches, also because I was the first to ask for rain. ”
When it came to "asking for rain", Yang Sui's tone was a little weak.
Once upon a time, the witches of the Rain Tribe were able to ask for rain at any time, even in the dry season, and they could make it rain in the sky where not a drop of water fell. Later, this ability disappeared.
It is said that the first witch who could not ask for rain was burned to death by the tribe, saying that it angered the gods, and the totem could not be displayed and could not rain. But with the second, third, and even several witches after that, none of them could ask for rain, and everyone went from panic at the beginning to numbness. All kinds of methods have been tried, but there is no way. As a result, there is a rule that candidates for witchcraft must travel abroad, hoping to find a solution. It's just that many years have passed, but none of the witches of the rain tribe have been able to do it, and this rule has continued until now.
Therefore, when Yang Sui "begged for rain", I don't know how many people in the tribe were stunned, but in fact. Yang Sui only saw the celestial phenomena and could react according to the celestial phenomena one step ahead of others, but he was mistaken by the tribesmen for asking for rain. Yang Sui wanted to explain, but after seeing the reaction of the tribesmen and the crazy eyes of the leader, he held back the explanation, and he felt that if it did. He may be tied to the fire by the leader and burned to death.
"Alas!" Yang Sui couldn't help but sigh.
At the thought of begging for rain, Yang Sui felt as if his body was being burned by fire. I hope that when the time comes, the tribe will be able to withstand it.
Not every tribe has an absolute status. If you have the strength and can fool people, your status is naturally nothing to say, but if you don't have the strength, you won't fool people, in a tribe like the Rain Tribe. It's burned to death or whatever.
Yang Sui didn't say much about the affairs of the Rain Tribe, and Shao Xuan could only speculate based on a few words. However, asking for rain can really be found? It's magical.
As Yang Sui said, after the rain began to fall, it never stopped. It went down until night.
The next day, the weather was clear again, and the sun shone down on the earth, dispelling some of the coolness of late autumn.
"By the time we get to the Longboat Tribe, it's probably going to snow, right?" Yang Sui said. Because the pressure of asking for rain is too great, Yang Sui will pay attention to the climate and weather changes there whenever he goes to a place, inquire about the climate of previous years, and then make inferences based on what he has learned. How, or get there to judge, now it's just speculation.
After packing up his things, Shao Xuan made a gesture to let the chirp come down.
Looking at the chirping, Yang Sui was excited. After Shao Xuan jumped up, he also climbed up.
However, after Shao Xuan jumped on the back of the eagle, Chirp took off.
"Hey?" Yang Sui, who was about to lift his legs and climb up, was stunned.
The flying chirp flew in a circle in the air, then flew down again, stretched out its talons and grabbed at Yang Sui.
"Hey?!!" When he saw the eagle's talon, Yang Sui's first thought was to turn around and run.
He also ran, but the eagle was still faster than him, and before he could run two steps, he was caught.
When Yang Sui was hiding in the woods, he saw the situation of chirping and killing the Wanshi tribesmen with one claw, and at this time, he thought of that bloody picture in his mind, and he could only close his eyes, feeling that his life was in danger.
But soon, he felt that something was wrong. Talon wasn't as strong as he thought, and it didn't scratch him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the ground that was rapidly moving away.
For the first time in his life, he was taken so high in the air.
"Ahh
Early in the morning, a miserable scream sounded over the mountain forest, startling a flock of birds that got up early to feed.
After shouting at the top of his voice for a while, Yang Sui calmed down. He saw the Wanshi tribe below.
Chirp deliberately passed over the Wanshi tribe, pulled another road of bird, and then turned around and flew in the direction Shao Xuan pointed out.
The Longboat tribe is also in the middle, but it is not too close to the center, and the tribe's habitat is next to a wide river, of course, the widest river that the people in the middle say is far inferior to the one in front of the mountain of the Yanjiao tribe, which is simply like the sea.
When following the expedition of the Pu tribe, Shao Xuan heard from the people in the team that the expedition of the Pu tribe had also passed through the Changzhou tribe, but it was changed for some reasons, and Shao Xuan's understanding of the Changzhou tribe was learned from the mouths of the travelers.
The Longboat tribe is good at building ships. It is said that the Changzhou tribe built the first boat in the central part of the country, and later, it developed into a fleet, which is also a characteristic of the Changzhou tribe.
When there was no metal, how did the big ships that those far-travelers said were made practical and sturdy?
Shao Xuan was very curious about this. (To be continued......)
