Chapter 181: Central

Lao Hao said that the roots of the Yanjiao tribe are still in the hometown, the vein of the fire is still there, and the fire must be ignited in the hometown. This Shao Xuan really didn't know, maybe Wu knew, but he just didn't say it.

No wonder those ancestors wanted to return to their homeland for another reason.

For the sake of those wandering tribesmen, and in order to prosper again, the return of the tribe is indeed very necessary, and I don't know how many people are waiting to welcome a new life.

The Far Traveler team will not stay in the Feng tribe for long, after all, they are just passing through this place, using this place as a resting place before reaching the central part. After resting and making sufficient preparations, the leaders beckoned to the people in the team and prepared to go.

Shao Xuan left something for Lao Hao's family and exchanged a few cows and sheep for them. Shuiyue Shi Lao Hao didn't want it, his family is two old and one young, and he has no combat effectiveness, if it provokes other tourists to kill him, it will not be cost-effective. Fortunately, Gua Er has agreed to take care of it, so that Lao Hao's family will not be too difficult.

Even if it was difficult, Lao Hao felt that it didn't matter, because there was already hope, and perhaps, he would only need to wait a few more years for him to return to the tribe with his family and tourists living elsewhere. What a blessing to be able to return in my lifetime!

Bidding farewell to Lao Hao, Shao Xuan left the Feng tribe with the traveling team.

Soon after the departure of the party, Guaer's father came back from patrol, and after entering the house, he thought about asking Gua Er, what to do with the wooden stakes that the boy was arguing and dragging back, and if he didn't, he would chop it as firewood.

Lifting the leather curtain, he walked into the room with his feet raised, but when his gaze met an object somewhere in the room, his scalp tightened, and his hand quickly drew the knife pinned to his waist.

However, before he could make the next move, a figure burst out and let out a heart-rending cry.

"Daddy—"

Gua Er firmly hugged his father's leg, "Daddy, we have so much firewood, don't cut my wood carving!"

"Wood carving?" Gua Er's father was stunned for a moment, and looked over there carefully, "It's really true." ”

No wonder I felt a little wrong just now, it turned out to be just a wood carving. However, it is not easy for the wood carving to be carved like this, and when I first saw it just now, I thought that I had encountered some kind of beast from the mountains and forests.

"Where did this wood carving come from?" Gua Er's father put away the knife, walked over, and looked at the wood carving in front of him very rarely.

"Didn't I tell you, it's the wood that I dragged back, and I found that far-away traveler named Shao Xuan to carve it. Gua Er told the matter, and also mentioned that he promised to take care of Lao Hao's family, and after speaking, he was a little worried, hung his head, and quickly raised his eyelids to look at his father, for fear of being beaten.

didn't think about it, Gua Er's father was just silent for a long time, and then said, "Do what you promise." ”

Shao Xuan, who had already left the Feng tribe, did not know the conversation between Gua Er and his father, and he and the others continued along the other river, the upper reaches of which were deep in the grassland, and the lower reaches would merge with another tributary, forming a river that would flow through some places in the middle.

This time there were no rafts, and they all relied on walking.

As the travelers said, after several days of traveling, the destination was near.

"A little further on, it's the central region. ”

"Let the people in the team pay attention, there is the territory of the two big tribes in the middle ahead, don't mess with them. Some experienced travelers admonished the newcomers.

The tribes that can gain a foothold in the central region, no matter how big or small, always have their own uniqueness, which is not comparable to some ordinary small tribes. And these tribes in the central part of the country, in general, do not take the initiative to attack the Far Traveler's team.

When you get here, you will meet a lot of travelers from all over the world, but now they don't greet each other so peacefully, and they are all wary of each other.

When passing through a hilly area, several travelers next to him said to Shao Xuan, "Look over there." ”

Next to the procession, there are a series of low hills, and on these hills, there is a group of hill petroglyphs with tribal characteristics.

The paintings on the petroglyphs are not very detailed, and they do not look like people, but they have a human face.

On the huge rectangular independent boulder in front of Shao Xuan, there is such a painting chiseled, and the top is painted with a round face and a wide mouth, and the strange thing is that the lower part of this person's face, the body part, seems to be similar to ordinary people, but there are two more pairs of hands.

The style of painting is rough and exaggerated, and it looks like a man with six hands standing there with strange proportions, his mouth is wide open, all six hands are open, and his legs are also open at a certain angle, looking like a spider. Look at the people who pass by here. Behind him, the rest of the rock is carved with interlaced lines, which do not seem to be indiscriminately chiseled, but are regularly and purposefully carved.

"What is this?" asked the experienced traveler next to him, wanting to get a more definite answer from them.

And Shao Xuan, when he saw this painting, he was already on the number.

The "Weiba" tribe has been painted and recorded on the animal skin scrolls of the ancestors and on the stone chamber walls of the caves.

In the cave near the foot of the mountain, when Shao Xuan first saw the pattern on the stone wall, he thought it was a spider, but after reading more records of animal skin scrolls, he realized that it was not a spider, but an eight-limbed monster like a spider.

There are also some huge black rocks next to it, which are also carved with various faces and eight-limbed monsters.

Look, it is worthy of the big tribe in the middle, how far away is this, and I began to draw the boundary monument of the land, for fear that others will not know that this is the Eight Tribes, looking around, the group of petroglyphs on the hills, all of them are very characteristic paintings of the Eight Tribes, there are large and small, people who pass by here, even if they have a bad memory, they are also carved into the mind by this long group of hill petroglyphs, which is unforgettable.

The person next to him said: "This is not really the territory of the Weiba tribe yet, and the place we are going to belongs to the Weiba tribe and the Mang tribe. ”

"Manglin jade, Weiba silk clothes, that are the two tribes?!" He had heard some travelers talk about these two powerhouses in the middle of the country and the items produced by these two tribes for a long time, but he had never seen the jade of the Mang tribe, nor had he seen the legendary clothes made of silk.

Manglin jade, Weiba silk clothes, this is a famous item of these two tribes, whether it is the jade of Manglin, or the silk clothes produced by the Weiba tribe, they are extremely expensive, generally speaking, for the small tribes brought from the outlying places, these two things they will not exchange, because there is no need. The linen cloth has already discouraged many people, and if there is a more expensive silk coat, even if it is brought back, it will be put away.

To put it simply, their consumption level has not yet reached that height, and they cannot appreciate it, let alone those who pay more attention to practical application.

"In addition to the petroglyphs of the Weiba tribe, there are also marks of the Mang tribe in this vicinity. Oh, look ahead, there is the totem mark of the Mang tribe. The traveler next to him pointed out to Shao Xuanhe.

Over there, there is a bamboo forest, which is not too tall, but very stout, and it looks very strong, and the leaves can cover Shao Xuan's hands.

Almost every stout bamboo, are carved with paintings, like the totem pattern of the Mang tribe, in addition, on the bamboo, there are also some bamboo made of bamboo similar to wind chimes put there, string of bamboo, with the wind, hit together, make different sounds, very good.

Under normal circumstances, there would have been a lot of people who used to cut down bamboo, or take away the bamboo and wood wind chimes that could play music, but in fact, very few people would touch those things, just as most people would not dare to use knives on the petroglyphs on the hills of the Weiba tribe. That's the sign of those two tribes, and whoever moves is a provocation to these two tribes.

The people of the Far Traveler team would not do this kind of death-seeking behavior, and it was precisely because of this that they would tell the first-time travelers before they came, not to offend those strong people without knowing it.

Because there are often people passing by here, they have already walked out of a very obvious way. On the left side of this road, there is a long row of hill petroglyphs, the eight-limbed people of the Weiba tribe are painted in the style of King Kong angry eyes, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, it has brought a lot of psychological pressure to every traveler, and also made them more afraid of the Weiba tribe, the strong is the strong, and even the painting is so powerful.

On the other side of the road, the small fresh style of the bamboo wind chimes is completely different, which does not make everyone feel relaxed, but every time the sound of bamboo and wood tapping, it makes everyone's heart tight, it seems that in the bamboo forest, there are a pair of eyes staring at them, so that the team unconsciously sped up, not to mention moving those bamboo and wind chimes.

This is the demonstration of the strong, in their own way, so that the people who come and go, remember their strength, and not just remember the jade and silk clothes.

After walking through that section, there were no petroglyphs on the hill next to it, and the sound of those bamboo and wood tapping gradually disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The tension gradually subsided.

"Further on, there will be a valley, which is a good place to trade, and because it is very close to the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe, everyone does not dare to make trouble. A distant traveler in front said.

Soon, Shao Xuan saw the place of trading, which, like a small bazaar, was surrounded by some wooden houses and bamboo houses, and there were also many travelers from all over the world, or people from nearby tribes trading here. Because they are backed by two "mountains", they sometimes need to give gifts to the people of these two tribes.

Entering this bazaar, Shao Xuan felt that it was lively all of a sudden, and some people put the items they wanted to trade on the ground, and there was a layer of straw curtains or animal skins at the bottom. Others, on the other hand, set up a shelf and place things on it.

It is a very simple market, but it is the largest and most lively trading place that Shao Xuan has seen since he came to this world. R1152
