Chapter 398: Synchronization of the fire pit
After the snowfall, the forest is covered with a layer of white.
Shao Xuan went out hunting with the hunting team, most of the thick-skinned but hairless beasts came out less in winter, and most of the beasts they hunted were long-haired beasts, which could be made into furs.
Because of the participation of Shao Xuan, an elder, there were many people who participated in this winter hunt, and everyone's enthusiasm was very high.
In addition to hunting, Shao Xuan also went to the dry riverbed to fish out some stones and came back, and when he was free, he made some glowing spars for everyone to illuminate, and the nights in winter would be darker, and those spars would also make it easier for everyone to move.
During the winter hunt, Shao Xuan hunted a long-haired giant beast as a sacrificial beast suit.
When the snowfall in the mountains and forests increases and the snow flakes become larger, the people of the tribe will no longer go out, and the river around the tribe will also freeze. The children of the tribe love to slide and play on it.
For the tribesmen, winter meant boredom, and every day they gathered in groups to play and teach the new warriors. You can't go out hunting, you can only use other ways to vent your exuberant energy.
Shao Xuan spent most of his time in the house studying the moire, occasionally going out for activities, and then nesting up to study, sometimes going to consult the craftsmen of the tribe who melted and cast bronze ware, their skills came from the ancestors, and the ancestors learned from others, and then summed up their own experience and passed it on from generation to generation. They have an understanding of each faction's casting or forging style, and they have a lot of exposure to the work of the Crate People.
However, the cloud pattern that Shao Xuan asked, the craftsmen of the tribe knew less. The caster gave Shao Xuan some handwritten notes from his ancestors, because the craftsmen sorted it out by themselves, which was more messy than the ones left by Wu. Some of them are still missing, or they are not clear, Shao Xuan can barely see them.
In order to express his gratitude, Shao Xuan gave them a few glowing water and sun stones, which made the craftsman very happy.
The winter was spent studying the moire pattern and making the water sun stone, and Shao Xuan realized it when he heard the cheers outside. Winter has passed.
Winter here comes late, and the days when you can't hunt at all are not long, which makes Shao Xuan hear the noise outside. I didn't react at once.
"It's gone so quickly!" Shao Xuan got up and shook the leaf crumbs on his body, and pushed the door out.
Because of Shao Xuan, some families in the tribe also used the Water Sun Stone, even at night when there was no moon. Except for the firelight. You can also see some sparkling light.
And now, the two vanished crescents in the sky have also reappeared, and after that, the sky will be illuminated by them for the next year.
When the moon comes out and the winter passes, the first thing the tribe does is to make sacrifices.
It's a different place. But time is synchronized, and there is no such thing as day on one side and night on the other. No matter which branch of the Flamehorn tribe. It's all based on the moon in the sky, but I don't know if the specific time is the same.
Wu finalized the time and notified it, and the tribe began to get busy, preparing for the sacrifice, Shao Xuan, the only elder of the two branches, was second only to Wu and the leader, and of course his weight in the sacrifice was also very large.
In the past year, the awakened little warriors will be in a higher position during the sacrifice, because from today on, they will officially become part of the tribe's combat power, even if they can't start hunting immediately, they need to go through a period of adaptation and training, but they should also have the consciousness of becoming strong, and they can't continue to walk around like children all day long.
As night fell, all the tribe gathered.
The fire in the fire pond has been lit by Wu, and the three of Shao Xuan, Wu, and the leader Zheng Luo are standing closest to the fire pond.
Looking at the flames in the fire pit, as Wu's chanting became more and more vigorous, Shao Xuan suddenly had a feeling that he was on the other side of the distance, and the flames were also rising, and he couldn't help but look in that direction. On the other side of the distant sea, the birthplace of the fierce beast mountains and forests, tonight should also be the day of sacrifice for the tribe.
There is no communication, but there is a soul.
Wu originally thought that in today's sacrifice, would the ancestor bone ornament appear again Flame Giant, but as she chanted, she found that the flames in the fire pit were particularly active today, and they were even more vigorous than the day they greeted Shao Xuan.
What's going on?
The witch shared part of his attention, in the flames of the firepit.
Since the fire disappeared, the flame in the fire pond has changed dramatically only twice, once when Shao Xuan was greeted last year, and once at this moment.
Whewββ
No wind and flame arises.
It was like a giant beast awakened from hibernation, waving its claws and roaring.
The flame body rolled up, and the totem with two horns was clearly revealed. This time, it was much clearer than last year's ceremony to welcome Shao Xuan.
Such a change also surprised the tribesmen who were watching the fire pond, they had never seen such a change before.
But Shao Xuan has seen it, and he has seen it more than once.
Three Yan in the fire pond, the first Yan - Yan Teng!
As if confirming Shao Xuan's guess, soon, the flames in the fire pond were instantly raised, and there was a feeling of going straight to the sky, and at the same time, many flames in the fire pond flew out from there. It is lighter than the flame in Shao Xuan's memory, not so much a flame as a shadow of the flame.
Looking at the sparks in the fire pond, and the flames flew out one after another, the people of the tribe were stunned, and they didn't know what to do.
"This is ......"
Wu looked at the situation in front of her and muttered, at this time, she had a guess. Suddenly turned his gaze to Shao Xuan, wanting to get an answer from Shao Xuan.
"The second Yan of the fire pond - Yan Fei!" Shao Xuan said softly.
Synchronous!
The fire pits on both sides are synchronized!!
Even though it is separated by the sea, even if the situation on both sides is different, but at this moment, at tonight's sacrificial ceremony, the fire pits of the two branches are synchronized!
On the four bone ornaments worn on Shao Xuan's body, the red beads burst into flames, and like last time, the erupting flames wrapped the surroundings, and then formed a flame giant that rose from the ground.
Because of the previous experience, this time everyone had to be calmer, just stunned by the shadow-like flames that were flying. It was the first time in their lives that they had encountered it.
Strange, but there is an inexplicable sense of closeness in my heart.
The tall flame giant slowly turned around and looked in a direction, which was also the direction Shao Xuan had looked at before.
At the same time, in a distant place, in the midst of the fierce beast forest.
The Yanjiao tribesmen who sacrificed tonight were still worried about Shao Xuan, who had disappeared for a long time. Since the desert line, Shao Xuan disappeared, Wu also sent someone to investigate, and it took a lot of effort to find out that Shao Xuan was chased and killed, jumped into the sea, and never appeared again. For this reason, Flame Horn almost started a war against the desert, but everyone was later recalled by the witch.
"Ah Xuan is still alive. Wu was holding the box containing the elder's bone ornament and told everyone with certainty.
Tonight, there were also many people who thought of Shao Xuan, but what they didn't expect was that a flame giant suddenly appeared in the fire pond!
If Shao Xuan was here, everyone would be calmer when the flame giant appeared, but now Shao Xuan is not here!
The flame giant that appeared did not have any other indication because of everyone's kneeling, and the figure composed of huge flames slowly turned in one direction.
Wu looked at the bright light emitted from the box containing the elder's bone ornaments, and his hands trembled with excitement, and he almost shook the bone ornaments in the box out.
"He's found it! Ah Xuan must have found them!"
The others didn't understand Wu's words, they only knew what Wu meant, Shao Xuan was still alive, and that was enough.
"When will you be able to return?" said Wu in a trembling voice.
Others thought that Wu was talking about Shao Xuan, but the leader Ao who was standing next to him knew that this sentence contained more than Shao Xuan.
After the sacrifice was over, no matter which branch it was, their hearts were not at peace.
The Yanjiao people in the fierce beast mountain forest wondered when Shao Xuan would come back, and the leader of Wu and He wondered if Shao Xuan had really found another part of the Yanjiao people. On the other side of the sea, everyone was also thinking about what the direction of the flame giant was looking and what the ancestor wanted to convey, and some of them guessed the reason, so they couldn't sleep all night.
The leader Zheng Luo specially sent a team of people to go to the coast where Shao Xuan landed with Shao Xuan to see if there was an undersea passage, but the result was disappointed.
Not to mention the safe passage, Shao Xuan didn't even see the undersea passage when he came, probably because the time had not come, and they went unfortunately, so they didn't meet each other.
Even if they meet, Shao Xuan feels that apart from him, there may not be many people who can spend it safely.
It's impossible not to be disappointed, even if there is already a very rich civilization here, and you can live well if you stay here, but Shao Xuan still wants to go back and go back with the Yanjiao people here.
Shipbuilding? Not to mention whether it is possible to build a ship that can support such a long-distance voyage with today's technology, there seem to be many giant beasts in the sea, which can be overturned with one tail, and the danger is no less than that of the Haitian passage.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan felt that it would be good if the "bridge" at the bottom of the sea was raised, so that everyone could go directly from one continent to another as they did thousands of years ago.
Unfortunately, I don't have that ability.
Forget it, wait for the opportunity, or, find another way.
By the time they returned to the tribe from the seashore where they landed, the weather was already warm, and some people had begun to try to plant in the small fields within the tribe, even if it was not much, but as long as it could grow something and relieve the pressure on food, it was worth it. Besides, Wu also told everyone that hunting is important, but planting is also important, and this skill cannot be abandoned.
There was still some time before the next hunt, and looking at the people working in the fields, Shao Xuan asked some relevant questions from experienced growers, and he remembered that he actually had something in his hand.
At the beginning, the "Thousand Grains of Gold" that he grabbed from the rat colony with Jiju, Shao Xuan still had some in his hand, and he also thought about planting it when he brought it back, but it was already the end of the year at that time, and he was busy with other things, so Shao Xuan didn't think about it anymore.
took out the bag containing the grains, these grains had been dried by Shao Xuan, and they looked like they had lost their original light, and the chaff was a little dull.
Looking at these dark golden grains, Shao Xuan put them away and took them to those experienced growers, this climate, should be able to try planting......, right?
PS: There are still some things to deal with in the past two days, the update is still in the evening, and the update will be brought forward in a few days.
