Many people think that the patterns and decorations on cups and tripods and other utensils are purely for the sake of looking good, or playing a role in identification, Shao Xuan also felt that way before, but the deeper he came into contact with these things, Shao Xuan found that there were a lot of mysterious things in them.

Just like the tripod in front of him, Shao Xuan originally thought that what was displayed on this tripod was all about the great achievements of a certain slave owner in Antiba City or other heroic deeds, or recording some commemorative things, but when he looked closely, he found that there were many incomprehensible points.

Yes, just these words do contain some glorious history of Antigua City, and the few sentences on it, although Shao Xuan can't understand a few words, it does not affect his understanding of those words, which are words praising the ancient Antigua tribe, as well as a few words of congratulations. If that's all, it's just that, but the cloud patterns on the tripod that seem to serve as decorations or backgrounds always give Shao Xuan a very strange feeling.

There are many tribes who like this kind of moire, and the Hui tribes they came into contact with back then also like to use moire, probably because these swirling moire patterns can not only be used as decorative filling, but also have a sense of structural complexity and mystery, free and casual and diverse styles. The moire pattern at the upper end is more slender and complex, and each moire vortex is rolled to the center, some like cirrus clouds, some like flowing clouds, and the composition of many moire patterns is not a simple structure of two continuous overlapping up and down, but is combined in a more natural way.

It is much more complex than the moire ornament used by the Hui tribe, and it is also the most complex but natural moire that Shao Xuan has ever seen.

At first glance. The pattern is pretty beautiful, not as attractive as the larger characters on the body, but just to see those moirés. You will be drawn to the past, and it is a visual impact that is inexplicable.

As ornaments, their purpose is achieved, but is it really that's all?

Shao Xuan stared at the ornaments on his body for a while, wanting to copy those complex and dense moire, but there was no paper or anything like that around, and the cloth was too extravagant. Shao Xuan got up and went out, found some wide and long leaves, and then applied some paint to the cloud pattern that was surrounded by a circle on the body. The leaves were printed on it, so that the patterns were presented on the leaves, and then Shao Xuan re-transcribed those cloud patterns on a piece of cloth.

Not only the moire on the tripod's body, but also on the tripod's three flat feet. There are also moire. It's just that unlike the slender and complex moire on the tripod body, the moire lines on the flat feet are thicker and appear more vigorous and concise.

The moire patterns on the flat feet, Shao Xuan also printed them one by one, and then slowly studied them.

Zhengluo said that the person who made this tripod was the box people, and the box people liked to use cloud patterns, and. As far as Shao Xuan knows, moire. It is one of the first patterns to be produced. It seems that every tribe that uses moire has a very long history.

The flame pattern of Yanjiao was also born early, but in use, it is not as extensive as moire, because the moire is balanced, there is a sense of movement, and a sense of harmony, and the overlapping patterns such as the two-sided continuous will not appear abrupt. It's just that on the tripod cast by the box man, the moire seems to contain more.

There is nothing to do, it is almost winter, and going out will be reduced, and Shao Xuan will have more free time to study these.

After copying all the moire patterns on the two pieces of cloth, Shao Xuan also went to Wu and asked about the use of some more ancient characters here. It's just that Wu doesn't know much, and can only see things from hundreds of years ago from the records of the ancestors, but the ancestors of Yanjiao, the records handed down are mostly written by Wu, and most of them use the script on the other side, not the local script here.

Unable to get the help he wanted from Wu, Shao Xuan could only figure it out by himself first.

Pondering these moirés, Shao Xuan felt as if he had returned to the time when he was learning the epilogue. Everything in the world is full of order and rules, whether it is a beast in the forest or a person everywhere, the physiological functions in the body are also functioning normally because of order.

People's perceptions such as hearing, hearing, smell, and taste and their own functions act on the brain for a long time, which can have a subtle effect on people's creation, resulting in various arts and skills, and this sense of order is also fully reflected in the symbolic patterns created, such as the cloud pattern that Shao Xuan sees now.

Much, but not chaotic.

The person who created such a complex and natural moire pattern must have also pursued a sense of balance and order in his creation, so that this moire of the ding body can be produced.

So, under the order, what does such a complex combined moire represent?

Shao Xuan stared at those cloud patterns for a day, but he couldn't see anything, and after thinking about it, Shao Xuan went to the forest to pick up some leaves. The leaves that fell to the ground had turned yellow and had not withered, and the leaves were wider, each one larger than an adult's palm, and thicker.

After picking up the leaves, they are pressed and dried, sorted and stored for later use.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also made a square sand table, the sand table is not deep, about one square meter, some fine sand is screened inside, Shao Xuan took the branch and painted in the sand table.

The combination of complex moire patterns looked too difficult, and Shao Xuan tried to divide those moire patterns into several pieces, draw them in the sand table, and split them. And for each one that is removed, a single moire pattern of dismantling is drawn on a leaf.

It took five days for Shao Xuan to complete the dismantling of the moire on the tripod, which was still a preliminary disassembly, I don't know if it was right or not, and it was not corrected, because there was no comparison, and no one told Shao Xuan whether it was right or wrong. Art is exaggerated and rendered, and the artistry of the pattern makes it much more difficult for Shao Xuan to disassemble.

I thought about it for five days in a row, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, all the time was spent on dismantling. When he finally finished painting the last cloud pattern, Shao Xuan was also tired, and after eating a large pot of boiled meat soup with black eyes, he came out of the house after a good night's sleep.

Although the sun outside was not as bright as before, it was a bit dazzling for Shao Xuan, who had been in the house for five days.

Coming back to his senses in a trance, Shao Xuan planned to go around other places under the mountain to relax his nerves, it may not be beneficial to be tense all the time, maybe he can get some inspiration by walking around.

Recently, the weather has cooled down dramatically, and the temperature difference from the previous day can be felt almost every day.

Looking from the hill in the distance, you could see a lot of yellowing trees five days ago, but now they are much more sparse.

Recently, the people who went out to trade have returned, not only the people who went to Amba City with Dokang to trade, but also those who went to other tribes to trade, cloth, silk fabrics, or other things.

Some of the hunting meat was hung outside to dry, and walking down the road, Shao Xuan saw that there were many animal legs and animal heads hanging at the door of each house.

Seeing a familiar figure, Shao Xuan shouted, "Lighting, what are you doing?"

The lighting who was walking into the house with the fruit stuffy head, Wen Sheng, looked in the direction of Shao Xuan, and said happily: "Shao Xuan...... Elder!"

Shao Xuan looked at the various fruits wrapped in large leaves in the lighting, which were rarely eaten in the tribe, and asked, "What are these for?"

Some fruits are not eaten directly, so the tribesmen use them as condiments to make soups.

"No, it's for the tapirs. "Speaking of this lighting, his face is full of red light.

Shao Xuan remembered that when he was hunting, he brought back a litter of tapirs, including the big ones and the small ones, and a net bag to raise the child.

"Where's your brother, not at home?" Shao Xuan glanced into the room and didn't see the adults.

"I went to chop wood with the others. ”

Lighting took Shao Xuan to see the tapirs he raised. The little tapir cub is bigger than when Shao Xuan brought it back, and the hair is also thicker, and the cooler the weather, the more hair this tapir will have, which is conducive to cold protection.

When they saw Shao Xuan coming, they all squeezed to the mother mold, and the big and small ones nested in the corners of the piles of branches and dead grass.

"It's very energetic, it's well raised, and you can eat it if it's a little bigger. Shao Xuan looked at the tapirs and said.

Xiaobi's mother said that these tapir beasts will grow faster after the winter, and they will eat less in winter and grow slowly. Thinking of something, Lighting said happily to Shao Xuan: "But when they grow up, I won't eat them." ”

"Why?" Shao Xuan wondered. Don't these little kids drool over the beasts in captivity? Why don't they eat again?

Lighting smiled and showed a mouth of white teeth, and did not speak, but on his face, some faint lines appeared, and the lines were gradually deepening, not as fast as Shao Xuan and them, but they were indeed steadily deepening.

"Totem pattern?!" Shao Xuan was surprised, and then smiled: "Congratulations, you are about to become a totem warrior." ”

Although he had heard it from others before, it was the first time Shao Xuan had seen a tribesman who did not awaken during the sacrificial ceremony, perhaps, this was the difference brought about by the disappearance of the fire. Tinder has been integrated into the bloodline of every Flame Horn person, as long as they touch the boundary of awakening, the power of the fire in the bloodline can help them awaken at any time, without waiting for the sacrificial ceremony.

As for the "don't eat tapir beasts" mentioned by Lighting, of course, it is because, after becoming a totem warrior, you can eat some higher-level beasts, such as fierce beasts and the like.

I can't eat it, but I can exchange it for something else with others, and I don't lose money.

After turning around the mountain, Shao Xuan was called up the mountain by Guangyi, who was carrying a large bundle of firewood.

Before, because Shao Xuan hadn't gone out, it looked like he was busy with something, and everyone didn't bother him, but now when he saw Shao Xuan coming out, he called him up the mountain to talk.

After getting along for a long time, the face blind in the broad sense finally has an impression of Shao Xuan, even if Shao Xuan's face is still blurred, as long as he sees the bone ornament that Shao Xuan is wearing, he can recognize Shao Xuan.

"Winter is coming, and Wu said that snow will begin to fall in three days, and the leader has been discussing the winter hunt for the past two days. "Broadly speaking, to Shao Xuandao.

Generally speaking, when winter begins here, there is no heavy snowfall, and the tribe will organize a hunt, and when it snows heavily, they will not go out.

After going up the mountain, Duo Kang asked Shao Xuan if he would go hunting in winter. Winter hunting has winter hazards, and not everyone is suitable for winter hunting.

"I'll hunt me. Shao Xuan said. He also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt a better prey and make a sacrificial beast costume to participate in the sacrificial ceremony at that time.

The winter here is not too long, and after the winter is over, there will be the most important sacrificial ceremony of the year, which is also the first sacrificial ceremony that Shao Xuan came here to participate in. (To be continued......)
