Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dark Alliance
Xingtian's words touched the troubles that Feng Cang had been deliberately avoiding in his heart, and at this time he opened his heart and told the truth of the matter:
"The daughter of the patriarch of the Fierce Hoof tribe is so beautiful that she is very fond of the patriarch, and last year she gave birth to a son to the patriarch. The patriarch was overjoyed, so the clansmen who came with her also rose to the top, and they continued to rise all the way, and many important positions in the clan were already occupied by the clansmen of the 'Fierce Hoof Department'. Originally, I didn't have any contact with those people, but they did have a few conflicts with me lately, and I have been putting up with them, trying to settle things. But before he came, Shiki went too far, and even challenged me to death the captain of my bodyguard. The other guards were threatened and did not dare to follow. Now it seems that they deliberately broke my wings and embarrassed me...... But they want me to hand over this position? Hmph, the door doesn't ......."
What I expected was not bad!
Xing Tian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly answered: "That's why I said that I am an ally of the same camp as the envoy!"
Feng Cang's face was heavy, and he stared at Xingtian and asked, "What's the matter? I heard that you provoked the 'Fierce Hoof', are you also scared? You want to tie up with me...... Hmph, it's a good idea, with my strength, I can indeed save you from Woniu Village once. But why am I doing this? Because of you, the consequences of opposing the mighty 'Fierce Hoof' are too serious, right?"
Xing Tian smiled: "What? Do you still think that there is room for relaxation with the 'Fierce Hoof'? You don't have to tear your face? If you still have this idea, it is your guard leader who dies now, and you will die next! Of course, if you take the initiative to give way and go to the Fierce Hoof to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, you can still live, and maybe you can even give you a deputy to be your deputy." ”
"Fart!" Feng Cang scolded, but still held back his anger and said: "Even if I have a bad relationship with the 'Fierce Hoof', what can you help me? I am almost a military merit! Can you help me fight, or can you help me fight? This time, Shiki was defeated by your men, the main reason is careless paralysis, if he uses a knife or a killing technique as soon as he comes up, are you sure that you can win?"
"I can't win!" Xing Tian replied simply: "Any barbarian who awakens his bloodline and soul power, as long as he fights seriously, I have almost no chance of winning! But facts speak louder than words, and I won today's contest! The winner is king, and the loser is the villain!"
"If I can do one amazing thing, I can do the second thing!" Xing Tian leaned forward, causing a strong sense of oppression to the other party, pointed to his head, and said confidently: "My lord, what you lack is military merit, I will use my head to guarantee you, we can help you win military merit!"
Feng Cang's heart moved, and he also lowered his voice, and asked, "How can you help me? You haven't even lit the totem fire......
Xing Tian sneered and asked, "Do you look down on us in Woniu Village? Then how much strength can you have?" Please tell the truth!"
Feng Cang's face was gloomy, and he said, "Although my sister is also a family member of the patriarch, she has a son and can be backed up. But because my father is only a clan elder and his strength is not deep, my guards and servants are only bought from the slave market...... He can't be a good guard, he can only be used as an ordinary slave at home......"
"That is, there are no soldiers available?" Xing Tian smiled slightly and said, "Then what do you think of the soldiers of my Woniu Village?"
Feng Cang Shentou thought about it seriously and said, "The quality is good, the strength is excellent, and the endurance is enough." But it's still the same sentence...... You can't be barbarians if you don't light the fire of totems, you ......"
"Is it weak, or there is no room for growth?" Xingtian said in a deep voice, "What if we can ignite the fire of the totem?"
Kazekura's eyes lit up, "Is that true!?"
"Light the totem fire, just in these few days!" Xing Tian said confidently: "My lord, can you see the leader of the rock cow outside? ”
Feng Cang was stunned for a moment!
That's right, if Woniu Village becomes the Qingjia Department again, igniting the totem fire, and they listen to their own words, then wouldn't they be the same as Shikiki, with the support of a tribe behind them? Although this tribe is less than one-ten-thousandth of the "Fierce Hoof Division", its warriors are indeed strong, and it is not a good start.
At this time, Xingtian struck while the iron was hot, and said word by word: "And I still have a plan, which can make the adults make a big military feat within a few months!"
Feng Cang was excited when he heard this, and asked, "What you said is true, can you help me win military merit in a few months?"
"Why not?" Xing Tian slowly sat back in his seat and said solemnly: "But before that, please tell me the plan of the Wind Horse Department to raid the Pig Department in March, and tell me everything in detail before you can ...... it."
"Ah!?" Feng Cang sat back on the stool, at this time he no longer had any doubts about Xingtian, and said in a trembling voice: "How did you know about the war three months later?"
The corners of Xingtian's mouth curved up again in a confident arc.
"But before I talk about it, I rekindle the totem fire in Woniu Village, and I still need a small favor from adults, which can be regarded as an investment ...... for myself."
"What's busy?" asked the wind cang.
After Xing Tian whispered for a while, Feng Cang suddenly became like eating a fly, stared at him closely, and said for a long time: "Where did you learn the kung fu of this empty glove white wolf? It's so smelly!"
Ji Gong's preparations have long been over, and this time, the Wind Horse Department has come with a lot of carriages, specially for transporting goods.
Their side ended quickly, but the conversation between Xingtian and Fengcang lasted for more than two hours.
Everyone waited very anxiously, but no one dared to come forward to urge, and those who had the courage to step forward were Shiki and Shilian, but at this time, the two were thrown in the car like dead dogs, and fell asleep after taking the medicine of the witch doctor.
The door was guarded by Yili and others, and even the old patriarch in Woniu Village had no chance to take a step forward.
It was already a few days in the afternoon, and seeing that the sun was about to go down, in a burst of laughter, Feng Cang was shy, opened the door curtain and walked out, and Xing Tian followed suit, respectfully following behind.
Feng Cang glanced at everyone outside and said to Xingtian: "Okay, this time, that's it." ”
Xing Tian should be, and then said: "It's getting late, do you want to leave tomorrow?"
"Nope. Feng Cang glanced at the carriage of the two Shiki brothers outside, and said, "Something...... It's better to prepare early!"
When he finished saying this, the old patriarch, Cangpan father and son, Gou Lu and other clan elders had already surrounded him.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?"
The old patriarch asked with some concern.
Feng Cang swept away his previous bad luck at this time, became a little high-spirited, and patted Xingtian on the shoulder when he heard the words, and said to the old patriarch: "Young talent, hahaha, the old patriarch is well educated, and the Cangpan brothers teach well." In the future, we will be closer to each other......"
"Ahhh......hhh
Everyone originally thought that after the wind warehouse came out, it would be like thunder, and at least the face would not be too good-looking, but in fact, Xingtian surprised everyone again.
What did this kid say to Feng Cang? coaxed him so happy......
Xingtian coughed, Feng Cang glanced at him fiercely, and asked the old patriarch Cangwu with a smile, "I heard that the old patriarch has always had the ambition to rekindle the fire of the totem, uh, this time there is the leader of the rock ox hunted by the elder brother Xingtian, and it is enough to think of it as a sacrifice." I wonder if all the sacrificial vessels are ready, have you invited this sorcerer?"
The old patriarch hurriedly replied: "The sorcerer already has, that is, the old grandmother of the clan, as for the sacrificial vessels...... Now it's just a few bronze ingots, and I haven't been able to ask the forgers of the Witch Temple to help refine them......"
"Oh, there is no sacrificial vessel yet, this matter cannot be delayed!" Feng Cang laughed and said: "It just so happens that I have a four-leopard cloud bean at home, which is a sacrificial vessel handed down from my ancestors, but because it conflicts with the tribal totem, it is not suitable for sacrificial use, so I will lend it to you this time!"
What the?
Lent a sacrificial vessel to the village?
Is there any hope for igniting a totemic fire in the clan?
Feng Cang's words made all the people of Woniu Village stunned for a moment, and then cheered.
The sudden happiness that fell from the sky made the old patriarch Cangwu incoherent, "This, this, how can I thank this!"
"Haha, I've been friends with the old patriarch for many years, what's there to be polite about?haha......" After speaking, Feng Cang glanced at Xingtian.
Xing Tian gave a thumbs up, smiled and nodded, his sacrificial weapon "Brute" is an axe, and the weapon itself is less sacrificial, so it is even more inappropriate to take it out on such an important occasion. Therefore, there must be a sacrificial vessel for sacrificial offerings in Woniu Village, and it is also the most convenient to choose a wind warehouse.
The sacrificial ceremony, the sacrificial vessels used are very particular, the orthodox sacrificial vessels are all food and wine vessels, the highest level is the ding, then the gui and the bean, followed by the bottle, the jue, the plate, etc., the last is the miscellaneous utensils, bronze ornaments, etc., and finally the weapon......
Meat is in full bloom, rice is served, and beans are served in soup, and the feedback power obtained is gradually reduced.
In addition to the shape of the sacrificial vessels, there are also rules for the patterns on them.
At the time of sacrifice, if the pattern on the sacrificial vessel can be of the same species as the totem, the feedback from the sacrificial soul will be greater. But if it's different, or even want to rush, then the feedback will be less or even none.
The four leopard cloud beans are the sacrificial vessels of fierce beasts such as lions and leopards, and they are just mortal enemies with galloping horses, used to sacrifice, anger totems, and the gains outweigh the losses;
Their purpose is not to get much benefit from the totem fire, but only to ignite the totem fire.
The old patriarch was so excited that he couldn't be more excited, originally his accumulation was only enough to build a wine vessel, but he didn't expect to be able to borrow a sacrificial vessel of this grade of bronze beans, the more he contributed, the greater the hope of rekindling the fire of the totem, even if the Wind Horse Department has tens of thousands of people and controls a large tribe of five hundred miles, it is only one bronze sacrificial tripod.
Fengcang is willing to lend them a bronze bean, which is definitely a big pie that falls from the sky.
At the same time, Xingtian secretly said in his heart: Although the Fengcang people are greedy, they keep their promises. This secret alliance with him not only saved the whole village, but also borrowed the sacrificial vessel, which is considered to be a favor owed to him, and it will be repaid in the future.
