According to the records left by the ancestors, there should be two tall stone pillars near the fire pond, not one. When Shao Xuan first came to his hometown, he only saw a tall stone pillar, and as for the other one, it may have been destroyed a long, long time ago, perhaps man-made, or it may have been a natural disaster.

In addition to this, there are other shorter stone pillars, which are not as significant in meaning as the first two, but are more flexible in depiction.

Shao Xuan was in charge of the two largest stone pillars closest to the fire pit, and the other stone pillars were carved by other people, and those only needed to carve some symbolic patterns.

The two largest stone pillars that Shao Xuan was responsible for were located on both sides of the fire pond, the direction in which the sun rose and the direction in which the sun set.

The stone pillars are mainly painted with totemic patterns, but these totem patterns are slightly different from those on the warriors, with large gaps in the lines, and some patterns will be carved in many larger gaps.

The stone pillars located in the direction of the rising sun are depicted with machetes, bows and arrows, stone balls, hammers, axes, pickaxes, chisels, and other utensils commonly used by warriors, including hunting and daily necessities. In addition, there are various fierce beasts, although there are many drawings, but each pattern is not complicated, and only a few strokes on the animal skin scroll can show their characteristics, so that people can see at a glance what is drawn on it.

On the stone pillar in the direction of the setting sun, there are depictions of various plants, flowers, ornaments, etc., some of the plants and flowers are planted and picked, and some are commonly used herbs.

The patterns on the stone pillars represent the meaning of good harvest and prosperity, and they are also like the "prayer text" divided into two parts.

Shao Xuan first drew these on a scroll of animal skins from memory, and then chopped a piece of wood to try to use as a miniature model. The small wooden stake is simple, Shao Xuan started carving it the day before, and he can take it to the leader of Wu He the next day.

When the huge stone pillar is carved and erected. The tribe was filled with cheers, and people in the visitor area only had to climb the trees and remove the leaves that blocked the view, and they could see the two pillars standing high up on the other side.

The low stone pillars in other parts of the tribe have also been completed, which is getting closer and closer to the records left by the ancestors of the tribe thousands of years ago. Maybe there will be more changes in the tribe in the future. But now, they just want to replicate as much as the tribe was back then.

When the stone pillar is completed, the cremation of the ancestors will naturally take place.

This time, everyone saw the appearance of the seven ancestors clearly. But no one was afraid, but more reverence, and kneeling was more respectful and reverent. Pray for a good harvest under the protection of the ancestors, pray for peace, pray for strength, and pray for young children to awaken smoothly.

In the midst of the fire. The rising flames swept the remains of the seven ancestors, and in a short time, even the ashes were gone.

A fierce wind blew from the mountains and forests, I don't know if it was because of the influence of these newly erected stone pillars, and when the wind blew, it carried some voices one after another, like someone whispering and singing.

Some people say that the ancestors in the mountains and forests who have no bones have returned. Some say it was the patriarch's answer to their prayers.

Whatever the truth is, everyone thinks it is. That is, no one will really stand up and refute it.

After the cremation ceremony of the ancestors was over and everyone had dispersed, Ao walked to the broken stones piled up on the side and stood for a long time. Most of these stones are broken pieces of stone pillars by the people of the Wanshi tribe. There were also fragments of buildings elsewhere, and whenever they saw this, the Yanjiao people held their breath.

"Wan Shi, we are absolutely going to fight!" Ao said.

Sooner or later, there will be a battle with the Wanshi tribe, Shao Xuan knows it in his heart. The Yanjiao people couldn't swallow this breath, and they were ashamed of their ancestors. Perhaps, it was because the ancestors were worried that someone would come to the place to destroy it, so they brought those precious "history" to the depths of the mountains and forests, took it far away, and hid it in a place where others did not dare to go over.

"Maybe this battle won't be far off. Ao said, looking at Shao Xuan, "Ah Xuan, although I don't like those people from the outside to interfere in our war, but I still care about the slave owners they say. After all, those are things that we don't know, and our ancestors never recorded them. ”

As a leader, you naturally need to think more and not act rashly. If there were no slave owners, even if other tribes in the central part were opposed, he would still be able to fight it, but the slave owners, Ao did have scruples in his heart. A Wanshi tribe that was predicted by the ancestors to perish a long time ago will become powerful, and what role do the slave owners play in it?

"I'll take a good look at the slave owners after I join that expedition. Shao Xuan said. Even though he had met a slave owner, he knew very little, and he knew only one thing: "Slave owner, great ambition." ”

This Ao also knows that he can make the people of those tribes in the central part of the country jealous, and even put aside the hatred between each other for the time being, and the slave owner is naturally not something that can be dealt with lightly.

"This time Ray and Tuo will go with you. Ao said.

There are three people who joined the expedition this time, Lei is a very famous person in the younger generation of the tribe, after all, there was a tribal leader in his ancestors, and Lei's own strength is not bad, and there is a fierce beast. And Tuo is not bad, as a person who joined the advance team very early, he has enough strength.

It was already very close to the gathering time that Gong Ye said, and Shao Xuan and the three of them were about to leave recently. Before they left, they also took out a map with the location of the gathering.

A very simple map, a few monotonous strokes, and a few general tribal branch identifications, too vague for no one to find. Fortunately, Shao Xuan has a more detailed map in his hand, although it is not complete, but the gathering place that Rei Ye said is exactly on the map drawn by Shao Xuan, near the edge.

The edge of the map is naturally not the edge of the continent, and Shao Xuan doesn't know about the farther places, and he can't get accurate information from other people, this time in the past, he can improve the map again.

Tuo, Lei and Shao Xuan, among the three, Shao Xuan is the youngest, but he is also the highest status among the three, who made him an elder. Therefore, there is no need for Ao and others to advise, Lei Hetuo also knows that outside, Shao Xuan's opinion is the main thing. Besides, they're okay with hunting, but they're not good at finding a place.

Because of the special matter, Ray could not leave with his domesticated beast, so he handed over his domesticated beast "Meng" to his father. And Shao Xuan didn't bring Caesar either, the variables outside were too big to take with him.

"You can follow Uncle Mai to hunt, don't fall in love with the hunt, don't run around, listen to Lao Ke at home. If you encounter a well-eyed she-wolf in the mountains and forests, you can bring it back for everyone to see, but don't let it bite the tribesmen......" Shao Xuan said as he brushed Caesar's bristles.

Caesar's interest was not high, and he was a little affectionate about Shao Xuan going out without taking it, and Shao Xuan said a few words before he whispered.

Three days later, Shao Xuan, together with Lei and Tuo, left the tribe and went to the gathering place of the far-away team they said were gathered by the spring leaves. They left before the sun came out, and with the exception of a few, they did not alarm the rest of the tribe. (To be continued......)
