Chapter 497: Change

After Shao Xuan woke up, Lao Ke told him that Wu sent someone to look for him, but when he saw Shao Xuan sleeping deeply, he didn't bother and let Shao Xuan wake up and go over.

Putting down the bowl, Shao Xuan also planned to help brush the clay pot or something, but was driven out by Lao Ke, "The witches and leaders on both sides are waiting for you, don't delay here, go over quickly." ”

Shao Xuan smiled, patted the wolf head of Caesar who was lying at the door gnawing on bones and grinding teeth, and went over to Wu's side.

On the way, you can see soldiers from both sides standing side by side, I don't know what they are talking about, not far away there are brick houses under construction, and people on both sides are helping.

In fact, Shao Xuan knew what the reason why Wu was in such a hurry to find him. The most important thing at the moment is not the run-in of the two teams, nor the use of nuclear seeds, but the issue of fire.

Back then, the tribe was divided, it was because of the fire, the two sides disagreed, which led to the split, you can't say who is wrong, both sides have their own reasons, and the starting point is also for the Yanjiao tribe, it's just that a thousand years of separation have made both sides afraid, if there is another disagreement now, even if they are all here, they can still split. Although the two sides do not exclude each other, it also takes time to truly integrate into one, and it needs to be driven by decision-making.

As a key person uniting the two sides, the person with the most special status in the entire Yanjiao tribe, such an important matter, Shao Xuan's opinion must be sought.

There were people guarding outside Wu's house, and when they saw Shao Xuan coming, they quickly got out of the way.

When Shao Xuan entered, the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

"No matter what, it's extremely unwise for you to directly send half of your combat strength out regardless of the safety of your hometown!"

"I didn't know you would be like this, I thought Ah Xuan would come over with fire. What if there are few people who can't protect the fire? It's too dangerous in the desert, and it's such a long road from there to the fierce beast mountains and forests, not to mention those slave owners, but people from other tribes, if they have any ideas. What about the poisoner?"

"Joke, don't say whether there is a fire or not, even if we come with the tinder, with our soldiers, we can protect the tinder!"

"You went ashore and lay down ......"

The two witches were arguing with straight faces, and the two groups of leaders sitting on either side of the room were looking at the roof, staring at the floor, and some were playing with their fingers boringly. No one interjected, trying to reduce their presence. Gui Ze, who was sitting next to Wu, had a red face, and he couldn't persuade Wu no matter how he persuaded him.

Seeing Shao Xuan come in, the other people in the room, whether they were looking at the roof or the floor, swept their eyes over, as if they had seen a savior.

"Ah Xuan, you're here!"

"Shao Xuan, are you awake?"

Because of Shao Xuan's appearance. The two witches rarely stopped, although their faces were still not very good. But compared to just now, it has eased up a lot, and at the same time, he nodded his chin towards the innermost seat, and motioned for Shao Xuan to go over and sit.

Shao Xuan found that there was a position at the top of the middle, and there were two of them there before. One belonged to the leader, the other to the witch, but now, the seats had changed, and the leaders of the two teams were seated on either side. But only the front and middle seats remained.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and no one was dissatisfied, it should have been decided a long time ago, Shao Xuan was not hypocritical, and walked over and sat down.

When he came back yesterday, Wu gave the remaining two bone ornaments to Shao Xuan, because of the reason for crossing the sea with the team, I don't know if the power of the bone ornaments was excessively consumed, and the balls on the bone ornaments looked a lot duller, until Wu gave the remaining two to Shao Xuan, and the six bone ornaments were strung together, and the dim feeling subsided a little.

Now, Shao Xuan is wearing six bone ornaments, and as the only elder on both sides, and he is also an elder with a very special status, when the seat is put up, no one has any objections, and feels that it should be so. It's just that as the leaders and big bosses who watched Shao Xuan grow up, their feelings are very complicated, and the little kid who came out of the cave at the foot of the mountain back then has grown to the extent it is now.

"What were you talking about just now?" asked Shao Xuan.

He obviously didn't say this to ask what the two witches were arguing about, but to ask about other things.

Ao hurriedly took over the topic, for fear that the two witches would quarrel again. He didn't know what was going on, but as he spoke, the two witches quarreled, and in the past two days, they had quarreled several times.

"Everyone is debating what to do with the people who left a few days ago. Ao said.

Because they knew that Wanshi's people were going to attack the Yanjiao tribe, some people panicked because of internal rumors and fled, including tourists and Yanjiao warriors. None of the warriors who had followed the tribe fled, but some of the tourists who had returned to the tribe later had gained strength from the tribe, but they had fled.

People who only want to be rich and noble but do not want to share hardships, Yanjiao is not rare, so after counting the list, it was unanimously decided to put these people on the blacklist from now on, expel them from the tribe, and no longer accept them.

When the tribe migrated to the fierce beast mountain forest, some people fled, but then someone came back and begged the tribe to give them a chance, the tribe saw that it was also the bloodline of Yanjiao, and the opportunity was given, but now, if those people betray again, don't blame the tribe for being ruthless. If there is really a war with the Wanshi tribe in the future, and these people run away before the war, it will simply affect morale and add blockage to people.

"And then there'...... Tinder's decision. Ao said this, and he was silent. For the more traditional and conservative people on their side, without the fire, many people will be uneasy, and they can't imagine the days without the fire, but these people on the other side are all following the path taken by the ancestors back then. The growth environment on both sides is different, and Ao can't make a decision on how to choose, and he is very entangled for a while.

Not only Ao, but also other big bosses and leaders are also entangled in their hearts. Some are worried about the future without fire, and some are afraid that without the restraint and cohesion of fire, everyone will disperse.

When it came to this topic, everyone in the room fell silent.

The old man looked at the old woman who was about to speak, and said first: "Ah Xuan, tell me your opinion. ”

Seeing him mention Shao Xuan, the old lady sitting on the other side didn't squeak even if she was holding her breath, but looked at Shao Xuan and waited for Shao Xuan's reply. can borrow the power of the ancestors, and must also be the people trusted by the ancestors. Therefore, Shao Xuan's attitude is very important.

The problem of the tinder must be solved, and it is useless to set it aside. If it is not solved, there will be no problem of complete integration of the fire. The fire can be fused in everyone, or it can be withdrawn. The method has been said in the ancestors' notes, after extraction, the fire is completely fused, is it to let the complete fire be integrated into everyone's body again, or to maintain the appearance of the original fire?

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan didn't immediately say his decision, but said: "Rain tribe, I believe most of you here know. ”

People who have been to the Rain tribe nodded, and those who haven't been have heard about it. Follow with a nod of the head.

Shao Xuan continued, "The Rain Tribe, they live in an arid place close to the desert, if there is not enough water, their survival will be very difficult, and the ability of the Rain Tribe's witches to seek rain used to be a major support for the prosperity of the Rain Tribe. The Rain tribe may have existed for a longer period of time than some of the more famous tribes of the moment. Much longer. ”

Many people have indeed heard of the rain tribe's ability to ask for rain. However, the long history of the rain tribe is not clear to everyone.

"The reason why the Rain Tribe Witches were able to pray for rain was because they borrowed the power of their tribe's fire, but later, they gradually lost the ability to pray for rain. I don't know when it became difficult to pray for rain. The number of failures increased until it was completely unsuccessful, and for hundreds or even thousands of years, the rain tribe's 'begging for rain' became a legend until two years ago. The new witch of the Rain tribe finally asked for a rain, but now it is also extremely difficult. ”

Realizing what Shao Xuan said, Ao and the others also jumped in their hearts.

The fire is born between heaven and earth, and the fire will be extinguished like a torch. And the way to make the fire burn forever is to use the blood as the salary, and the continuous bloodline is the firewood for the fire to burn.

If one day, the fire weakens and dissipates, and the rain tribe loses its ability to ask for rain, then what do the Yanjiao people lose?

Strength!

If the Yanjiao people gradually lose their strength advantage, how can they survive in a tribe full of strong people, and how can they hunt in the mountains and forests where fierce beasts are rampant?

The Rain Tribe is a lesson in point!

Even if they can't understand it now, in the future, thousands of years from now, will the descendants of Yanjiao blame them? Will these people become sinners of Yanjiao?

Shao Xuan looked at the people present and continued: "I know what everyone is worried about, there is a sentence in the ancestor's handwriting, which was left by the ancestor back then. ”

Shao Xuan introduced the ancestor "Chi" to the uninformed people, when Yanjiao encountered a disaster, there were three generations of witches, the old witch abdicated, let the new witch take over, and the old witch took the "history" of Yanjiao, went deep into the mountains and forests, guarded in the stone cave, and waited for the day when the Yanjiao people came back and brought those precious "history" out. And those "history" have long been brought back by Shao Xuan, and the people in this hometown know about it.

At the time of the catastrophe, the newly succeeded Wu and the next successor he cultivated, "Chi", together with the leader at the time, led people away to avoid the catastrophe of heaven and earth. However, there was a difference of opinion along the way, and the leader of the day and the "Chi" left with half of the people to find a new way out, while Wu continued to walk away with the remaining part of the people until the earth cracked and a huge river isolated them from the world.

The people who recruited their branch were able to fuse the fire, which was the credit of "blazing". "Blazing" is the pioneer.

Speaking of the words left by "blazing", Shao Xuan looked at the two witches, those are all in the ancestors' notes, not everyone can easily see them, many of them are still secret, and they cannot be easily said without permission. Seeing the two witches nodding, Shao Xuan continued.

"In the notes, the ancestor 'Blazing' once said, 'The fire has not disappeared, it is still there, it exists in the bloodline of the Yanjiao people, and together with the bloodline of the Yanjiao people, it will continue forever.'" After a pause, Shao Xuan continued, "In addition, there is another sentence, 'People are there, the fire is there, the people's hearts are there, and the tribe is there.'" ’”

If people's hearts are the same and there are no other thoughts, it doesn't matter whether there is fire or not, but if the heart is not here, not towards the flame horn, even if there is fire, how much binding power can it have? Fire can restrain people, but it cannot restrain people's hearts, such as the traitor who used to be a traitor, such as those who gave up their life here, such as those who have gained strength, but run away when they hear that a strong enemy is coming.

The one that conquered them had fused the fire thousands of years ago, but without the cohesion of the original fire, they were still united, and the Yanjiao tribe was still fighting for a piece of the world over there, and there was no need to worry about the fire being beaten. Even if someone leaves the tribe, as long as their heart is towards the tribe, even if they go far, after a long time, they can still come back.

It's a change, and no matter which path you choose, you need to give up something.

Outside the fierce beast mountains and forests, inside the Wanshi tribe.

The young Wan Shiwu stood by the fire, looking at the flickering fire in the firepit, his eyes gloomy and anxious.

"It's scared. Wan Shiwu said.

"What?" the leader of Wanshi, who was standing not far away, was upset, didn't hear clearly, and asked again.

"Tinder, it's scared. Wan Shiwu said again, "Something's going to happen." (To be continued......)
