Chapter 329: Do Hilichurls Have Faith Too?
Jiang Bai spent an afternoon briefly reading these books and asked Ella Musk a lot of questions.
"The book mentions the beliefs of the hilichurls, do the hilichurls also have beliefs?"
"Yes." Ella replied in the affirmative.
"Most of the hilichurls worship the god they call uun, and we haven't studied where this god came from, what miracles there were, how it came to be, and the belief in this god seems to have been engraved in their bones from their origins......"
“uun?“ Jiang Bai repeated the word.
When I was in the snowy mountains, I seemed to have heard those hilichurls shout like this, but it didn't seem to be.
Although his memory is okay, he really can't remember a certain word.
"But there are exceptions." Ella said again.
"Exceptions? And the hilichurl tribe who don't worship uun? ”
Jiang Bai didn't know much about the hilichurls, except for the hilichurl tribe in the cave of the snowy mountain, the other hilichurls would attack as soon as they saw him, a human, and even if they didn't attack, they would run directly.
And the hilichurls did not have such a thing as writing, and although they could draw totems, the paintings in the places where they lived did not contain much information other than for decorative and symbolic meaning, and even if there was any information in them, he could not read them, so that he did not have no opportunity to understand them at all.
"Yes." Ella nodded, turning the pages of the book, which contained a rough topographical map.
"There are three hilichurl tribes in the Dadaupa Valley, namely the Good Sleepers, the Good Meat Tribe, and the Black Sun Tribe, and the Good Meat Tribes and the Good Sleep People are just like their names, and the hilichurls in the group like to eat and sleep respectively, but the Black Sun Tribes are exceptional."
Ella turned to the next page, and on the page was a pen drawing of something like an altar, and the cloth tied to the altar was painted with a totem of the black sun.
"This Black Sun Clan believes in the Black Sun, and the hilichurls inside are the most fierce and aggressive."
Black day? The black sun? It feels a little evil.
Jiang Bai looked at the sunset that was about to set outside the window, this sun had nothing to do with black.
"Is there anything special about this black day?"
"I don't know." Ella Musk shook her head, "My grandmother has studied for a long time, and only knows that this Black Sun Clan appeared five hundred years ago, and the rest has no results. ”
Although they have mastered the language of the hilichurls, they can only communicate simply, and some overly complicated questions that the hilichurls cannot answer at all.
"Okay......." Jiang Bai didn't ask again, but changed to another question.
"What is the social form of the hilichurls? Follow the principle of the law of the jungle? ”
"Most of the hilichurl tribes I have observed follow the principle of the law of the jungle, with the strongest warriors having the highest status and eating the most meat. When food is plentiful, these powerful warriors tend to become large hilichurls, becoming leaders in their clans.
"If these large hilichurls evolve again, they will even become hilichurl kings, but when the hilichurls evolve into hilichurl kings, hilichurl kings will leave the tribe and live alone."
"Will the king leave the tribe? This doesn't seem to be the same as the characteristics of a normal race......" Jiang Bai held his chin in thought.
Take the wolf pack as an example, there will only be one wolf king in a wolf pack, and when a new king appears and defeats the old king, then the old king will leave the tribe and live alone until he dies.
Is it because the hilichurl clan actually appeared that the king took the initiative to leave, was the king afraid that he would eat too much, so that the other weak hilichurls would not be able to get food?
"Yes, hilichurls are monsters, not normal animals, although the habits of animals can be referred to in research, but they are different after all."
Ella said, pausing, "But it's not certain that the king will leave the tribe, after all, there are too many hilichurl tribes in Teyvat, and what we have studied is only a small part, so we can't be sure." ”
"What about the hilichurl shaman? How did this hilichurl come to be? Jiang Bai remembered the old hill shaman in the cave who was very dignified in the clan.
"Hilichurls do not have a lifespan, because we have not yet found out how long a normal hilichurl can live, our experimental samples were either killed, or fell, drowned, or starved to death, or evolved into a large hilichurl...... in short, we have not observed the complete life of a hilichurl, and we cannot calculate how long the hilichurl lifespan is"
Ella Musk shook her head and sighed, after all, hilichurl research is still too niche, and Mondstadt is only doing this with the people of their family, and the population of their family is not large, and it has been the accumulation of several generations to be able to draw so many research results.
"Hilichurl shamans are the older hilichurls of hilichurls, they tend to have elemental talents at a young age, and when they reach old age, the corresponding elemental talents will reach their peak, and when they hold a staff larger than their body and chant incantations, they can ask for the help of the corresponding element."
"Although it is said that hilichurls are just monsters, hilichurls live a rich life, they cook cooked food with a simple fire, they make dynamite barrels out of Slim, they sleep under a tree when they are full, they sing when they are in a good mood, and they dance together after a good harvest......
"They even learned to raise meat and enclosure in captivity, and I think they will even learn to plant in the near future, after all, there are quite a few fruit trees in the Dadaupa Valley......"
Ella's expression was very complicated, their family had studied hilichurls for so long, and it was impossible to say that they didn't have any special feelings for the hilichurl race. She would even wonder if if she learned the language of the hilichurls and communicated with the hilichurls, would humans and hilichurls not be hostile to each other.
It's a pity that for various reasons, hilichurls were characterized as monsters and became enemies of humanity.
Ella put away her complicated emotions and looked at Jiang Bai, "You should want to communicate with the hilichurls when you learn hilichurls, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”
"No problem." Jiang Bai agreed.
This little teacher gave him a lot of knowledge today, and he was still happy to help.
Ella took out a piece of paper with a lot of words written in the hilichurl language, "There are a lot of hilichurl translations on it that are not very accurate, if you can, I would like to ask you to help me improve it." ”
After all, she was still young, she was not the holder of the Vision, and she did not have much combat power, so she could not go to the field to communicate with the hilichurls, so she could only entrust the job to others.
Seeing that he was so busy, Jiang Bai gladly accepted it.
When he left the library after dark, he borrowed the "Chucho Guidebook".
Such a short time was not enough for him to memorize the hilichurl language completely, and he could only communicate while flipping through the book at that time.
