At the end of each winter, when the Wind and Snow Festival is sacrificed, fifty people will be selected to stand next to the fire pond and dance the sacrificial dance, and these fifty people are all elites recognized by the tribe.

However, as far as Shao Xuan knows, the list of fifty people has always been young warriors who have been hunting for several years, as well as some people who have made great contributions to the tribe, for hundreds of years, it is very rare for a teenager to enter the list of fifty people, not to mention, Shao Xuan has only awakened for a year now.

It sounds ridiculous at first.

When Lao Ke heard the messenger say this, his first reaction was not to believe it, normal people in the tribe would not believe it, but the messenger also made it clear that it was decided by Wu Xuan, and asked Shao Xuan to prepare quickly.

It's no wonder that Lao Ke is excited like that.

As a very important part of the tribal sacrifice ceremony, in addition to the selection of people, it is also necessary to follow the ancient precepts passed down by the tribe. And the so-called ancient precepts, in fact, Shao Xuan has never been specifically understood, it seems that the ancient precepts are not just simple admonitions.

Since there was no one around Shao Xuan who could teach the sacrificial dance, even the buckwheat couple had never learned it, and the people under the mountain did not need to look for it, so Shao Xuan could only go up the mountain to find witches.

Early the next morning, Shao Xuan ran to Wu with the stone box.

Wu is discussing the upcoming sacrificial ceremony with the leader and the two big leaders, and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance.

Seeing Shao Xuan's arrival, the two big leaders and the leader looked at him in unison, their eyes were very subtle, Shao Xuan's addition to the list of fifty people was also unexpected by them, but that day. When Wu called them over, he directly said let Shao Xuanjin enter.

They knew about the juniors' one-year appointment, and they also knew that Shao Xuan only blocked Tai with one move. In terms of strength, Shao Xuan is indeed the best among the young fighters who have awakened in the past two years. There's no denying it. In addition, he did establish a great achievement last year, so when Wu decided to let Shao Xuan enter the list of fifty people, the two big leaders and leaders did not object.

In the eyes of the tribesmen, it was an honor to be included in the list of fifty people, but the two big leaders who knew the mystery of it had more ideas. Every year, I try to recommend the people of my hunting team to Wu and compete for places.

In addition to these people, Shao Xuan also met Tuo here.

"Ah Xuan, I'll let Tuo teach you the sacrificial dance. As for the painting, "the smile on the witch's face deepened a little, "and you can stop for a while." ”

The leader Ao looked at Wu and then at Shao Xuan, and always felt that something had happened that he didn't know. But sometimes it's like this, and it's hard to guess what's going on.

"Okay. Shao Xuan responded.

didn't stay in the stone house anymore, Shao Xuan followed Tuo and left.

The place where Toh lives is on the mountain. It didn't take long to arrive. Moreover, Tuo is also on this year's list of fifty people.

Tuo's parents and grandparents have been selected among the fifty. Therefore, such an old ancient dance has also been handed down, and he doesn't need to find someone to learn it, he is very familiar with it, otherwise Wu won't let him teach Shao Xuan.

In fact, when he received Wu's instructions, Tuo was also very surprised, after all, Shao Xuan was still young, and he was only a junior totem warrior who had only awakened for a year. It was even included in the list of fifty people. Probably because he had found the ancestor, Tuo thought to himself.

"I learned the sacrificial dance very early. It's not hard. "I'll do it first." You watch. ”

After Tuo finished speaking, he began to jump up in the room, those movements were still very funny in Shao Xuan's opinion, there was no beauty at all, and it didn't feel very harmonious, and there was a dishwashing-like action. However, when he jumped, his facial expression was very strict, as if he was doing something solemn, even if it was just a demonstration action, there was no sloppiness.

After jumping once, Tuo instructed Shao Xuan little by little.

"The torso is bent forward, like this...... Reach back ......"

Shao Xuan learned to swing his arms up, down, forward, and backward, and sometimes he had to slap his arms and thighs, or shake and step, making a strong rhythmic sound, and he had to move forward, backward, left and right with his steps, and sometimes he needed to lean forward with square steps, and then squat, followed by the beating of one and two feet, and then a horseback riding step, and his arms were like holding a horse pole, and he took three steps and turned back......

If it was in his previous life, Shao Xuan would probably laugh when he saw such a dance. But now, he had to bite the bullet, and he had to keep his face strained to show seriousness.

Although there is no accompaniment such as a drum whistle to beat the beat, the dance steps still have to maintain a specific rhythm.

Not only the action, but also Shao Xuan, when the sacrificial dance is beating, it also needs to cooperate with the power of the totem, and the breath also has another way to cooperate, which also belongs to the "ancient teaching".

In general, Shao Xuan came to a conclusion: when the sacrificial dance is beating, it also needs to be combined with meditation and a specific breathing method!

What is the use of such a cooperation? Now Tuo didn't say, but Shao Xuan could guess that it should be related to fire or totem.

Shao Xuan once heard people say that the earliest form of human expression is to use the posture of dance and the movement of the human body as a tool for expression, and dance and body movements are also a kind of behavioral language to express people's passion and desire.

Here, the sacrificial dance is used to communicate with the fire and the totem, so it is necessary to perceive it when it is beating.

Thinking that this is used for sacrifices, and then thinking about the two big leaders arguing over places every year, probably this sacrificial dance will really be beneficial.

As Tuo said, the movements are actually very simple and can be remembered very quickly. Among them, it is important to meditate while beating, with a specific breathing method, and not to get confused.

By the time it was almost noon, Shao Xuan had already learned those movements.

"Yes, you're a quick learner, and you didn't make a mistake just now. Tuo said.

Shao Xuan moved his arm and nodded, "I have to practice hard after I go back." ”

"It's about practicing hard and not making mistakes when the time comes. Tuo retracted the smile on his face and said sternly, "If you still have any doubts, you can come and ask me." "Since Wu has given him this task, he has to be responsible for teaching Shao Xuan.

Sacrificial rituals. There is no room for error!

————

When the last snowflakes fall, the sky clears, and the moon reappears. After a winter of silence, the tribe came alive again.

Wu has already informed the tribe of the time of the sacrifice of the Wind and Snow Festival.

On the day of the sacrifice. Shao Xuan took a good bath, this is what everyone in the tribe must do before the sacrifice, as for the group of little cubs in the cave, they were dragged out to brush the meat yesterday.

Caesar and Chirp stayed at home and didn't go out, and today Chirp was very obedient and didn't go anywhere, as if he had a premonition of something, and didn't stay on the roof. Got into the house early in the morning. Beasts always have a natural instinct to avoid danger.

"Hurry up, put it on and jump and try it. Lao Ke took out the leather coat that had been cleaned up and asked Shao Xuan to get used to it first, he was more nervous than Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan's face twitched, took the clothes from Lao Ke's hand, and put on this thorny skin.

In the past, when it came to dancing, most of them were women with graceful postures, swinging their hips and shoulders, their steps were light and coordinated, and the dancers were comfortable. The viewer is fascinated.

But now, Shao Xuan felt that he was wearing this skin, with his teeth and claws. It was simply a Godzilla invasion, and it was extremely hideous. Fortunately, today the tribes are all dressed up in such barbaric costumes, and the group is beastly.

Lao Ke had already painted patterns on his face with plant paints, but Shao Xuan didn't, he needed to go up the mountain in advance, and the patterns on the faces of fifty people were all painted by Wu himself, and the colors were different from Lao Ke's.

"Then I'll go up the mountain first. Shao Xuan walked out of the door wearing a thorny black wind leather coat.

"Alright, let's go. I'll go with them later. Lao Ke waved his hand and motioned for Shao Xuan to hurry up. Don't keep Wu waiting. Fifty people, just Shao Xuan, one down the mountain. Don't be taken lightly.

In front of the stone house in Wu, everyone else had already arrived in advance, and many people had already learned from the two big leaders that Shao Xuan was going to join, so when they saw Shao Xuan, they were more surprised, but they didn't say anything. For them, today is a very strict and solemn day, how can they have the heart to think about anything else?

By the time the witch had drawn a pattern for fifty of them, it was already dark.

"Let's go. A middle-aged man in the team said.

Shao Xuan has grown a lot in size in the past year because of the awakening of the power of the totem, but among a group of tall adult warriors, Shao Xuan is still very conspicuous, as far as he is the shortest, even if he is wearing animal skins, others know that he has not grown up yet.

"How could he be there!" whispered some of the people who walked to the top of the mountain.

"Who's that?"

"It's Ah Xuan! I know that thorny black wind skin!"

Wearing thorny black wind skin, only Shao Xuan is still at this age.

"He's not in the wrong place, how can he be among fifty? How old is he?"

"Shut up! That's Wu's decision!"

In the crowd, there was shock and envy.

Lang Ga and the others had already known the truth from Lao Ke's mouth, but even now, they were still a little unbelievable. The list of fifty people was what they had wanted since they were children, and now, it was actually obtained by a person much younger than themselves.

On a circle of wooden stakes by the firepit, the stone basin was already filled with fresh fruit and meat of fierce beasts for the sacrifice as a sacrifice tribute.

Shao Xuan followed the team and walked to a wooden stake, which was where he was now.

The sacrifice is about to start, there are already many people on the top of the mountain, and some people are going up the mountain one after another, and there are still many people in the crowd discussing Shao Xuan. As the youngest of the fifty people, and the only one in the past hundred years who has only been awakened for a year, he can join the list of fifty people, which will naturally become everyone's topic.

This year, there are more than 80 children who are about to awaken, two more than last year, including Tu and Stutter from the cave, and the Sunshine brothers and sisters of the Buckwheat family.

It was already completely dark.

It was still the same as the steps in Shao Xuan's memory, one item after another, and when Wu finally began to chant, Shao Xuan clearly felt the change of the totem in his mind.

At the same time, the flame in the middle of the fire, which seemed to be difficult to burn even a stake, jumped and rolled upwards like a barrel of oil, and in the blink of an eye it had begun to expand and spread.

As a totem warrior, the perception of totems is naturally stronger, and the soaring flame body in the fire pond drives the totem in his mind to begin to swell.

When the fire pit is filled with flames, the top of the flames, the two-horned totem wrapped in flames, also appears.
