Chapter 42: Another Fire Sacrifice
Twilight is coming, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, there are hundreds of sun and moon rotations.
It's time for the fire sacrifice again.
Time flies, and the Fenggon tribe has experienced destruction and reconstruction. Under the guidance of Fengxi step by step, it has regrouped and undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this time, the tribesmen had completely gotten rid of the life of hunger, and the wind was full of tranquility in the morning and evening.
The Fenggon tribe is moving in a good direction!
At Fengxi's insistence, Hua Xu and Xi also left the cave that bound the leaders of the past dynasties, and built a stone house around the altar.
"As the leader of the tribe, Eminem, you can't be too far away from the people. In the same way, witches don't need to be mysterious! Feng Xi said.
Fengxi's words touched Hua Xu very much, she once traveled alone in the wilderness, unlike the leaders of previous dynasties, under the influence of Fengxi, she finally picked up the idea of breaking the tradition of innovation.
Rather than living in a cave, Hua Xu wanted to be with the tribe's people.
It's just that the traditions of her ancestors have always restrained her, and the tribesmen's firm belief in the gods has forced her to live in a cave far away from the tribesmen all the time.
Even, never, did not dare to pick up the familiar stone spear again and walked towards the vast wilderness.
But all this has changed after Fengxi became a "divine messenger".
All the innovations and changes that Fengxi brought to the tribe did not cause much resistance. In the eyes of the clansmen, his actions are the will of the "divine fire".
Grant fire, tam animals as animals, and make ropes and nets......
Every move of Fengxi has brought earth-shaking changes to the tribe, and it has also made the clansmen more convinced of him.
Even if Fengxi wanted to break the tradition again this time, not only did he not have the slightest doubt, but he even rushed to build a beautiful stone house for Hua Xu and them.
The seeds of civilization have begun to grow and sprout!
……
"Words, are you going to teach them to your people?"
In the brand-new stone house, Hua Xu sat cross-legged on an animal skin and asked in surprise.
On the other side, Feng Xi nodded affirmatively, looking at Hua Xu with a serious face,
"It's not me, it's Eminem!"
His gaze fell on a hide spread out in front of him.
On it, a pictographic symbol is densely carved with charcoal, covering the entire animal skin.
These are the "words" created by the three people of Fengxi, the rotation of the sun and the moon in the near first worship.
"Me? But ......" Hua Xu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Eminem, all the words of the tribe are me, Xi and Eminem, the three of us are man-made, Eminem, you have this qualification!" Feng Xi said in an affirmative tone,
"This is Eminem, the way you're going!"
Hua Xu's body trembled when she heard this, she raised her head, her eyes were complicated,
"But...... Xi, didn't you say that you were still ...... Isn't it time? ”
"You, leaving?"
Fengxi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
Hua Xu is the first and only one of the clansmen who learned characters and even began to try to make characters since Fengxi and Xi.
After Fengxi imitated the pictogram to create characters, he did not think about teaching the "characters" he created to the clansmen.
It's just that he found that the appearance of "words" has not yet arrived.
The tribe did not completely get rid of the primitive way of life, and the acquisition of food and the emergence of animal husbandry firmly restrained all the energy of the tribesmen.
They don't have enough time to accept and learn something that is completely new to them and they have never seen before, nor do they have the same unique wisdom as Hua Xu and Xi to learn "words" quickly.
Even before, the knotted rope of the tribe was only in the hands of the leader Hua Xu, and he never went to everyone in the tribe.
But now, Fengxi feels that the time has come, and raising livestock, fishing and hunting, these have gradually entered the right track.
The spark of civilization is also time to be entrusted out.
"Eminem, I will ...... this fire festival" Feng Xi looked at Hua Xu and pondered for a moment before he spoke,
"For civilization, sow fire!"
Hua Xu fell silent when he heard this. Civilization, Fengxi has always told himself.
At first, she didn't know what civilization was, but the astonishing changes in the tribe since this ceremony, and the heavy animal skins like mountains in front of her, seemed to tell her that this was civilization.
Hua Xu had a faint premonition that what Fengxi would do next would be to completely break the tradition of the Fenggon tribe.
……
this day.
Morning.
As if the heavens knew that the Fenggon tribe was going to hold a fire festival, it began to rain as scheduled.
Fengxi got up very early, and at this time, he was leading the clansmen to start the arrangement of the fire sacrifice.
The tribe used to be a rudimentary altar made of a few logs, but after it was washed away by the flood, Fengxi did not let the tribe stand up again.
In its place, there is a dirt platform.
The upper and lower circles of the earth platform expound the meaning of heaven and earth.
On top of it, there is a large round green and yellow stone, on which a stone bowl that was once made of wood is placed.
This is the altar of the Fenggon tribe!
A place where the fire is enshrined.
The arrangement of the fire festival is not much different from the past. It's just that at the request of Fengxi, the altar used for sacrifice has been changed.
This is the altar, and at the same time, it is also the witch platform of Fengxi!
……
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Drops of rain fell on his body and hit his face, and there was a slight pain.
Feng Xi raised his head and looked at the sky, and did not use the slightest witch power to separate the rain, but just stood in the rain like his clansmen, letting the rain beat him.
"Brother!"
Xi called Fengxi lightly and walked over, she stood silently beside him, a little quiet.
Behind him, a big black dog shook its body from time to time and threw out the raindrops that stuck to its hair.
The scourge is even taller than before, and the great river fights and devours the blood of the snake that is also a foreign beast, and its body also undergoes an astonishing metamorphosis.
Just standing here, it feels like a burst of flame.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that in front of Fengxi and Xi, they still remain well-behaved.
"Can you ...... Don't leave? ”
After standing silently for a long time, Nozomi spoke, with a pleading on his little face.
"Let's go?" Fengxi's body stiffened and fell silent.
Yes, he's leaving, leaving the Fengon tribe that gave birth to him and raised him!
Leave Eminem!
Leave Nozomi!
When he realized the truth of the fire, when the calamity appeared, the spirit of the fire turned into a witch and became the source of his power.
When the serpent comes on the harness of the water.
He knew he was leaving!
It's just that before that, he wants to use this fire festival to plant the immortal foundation of civilization for Fenggon!
It's just that what he didn't expect, Xi would actually notice this matter in advance!
Before the fire festival!
"Eminem told you?"
Fengxi turned stiffly, his back to Nozomi, his voice trembling.
He didn't tell anyone about leaving the tribe except Hua Xu.
"Nozomi found it herself!" Nozomi shook her head.
Feng Xi was shocked when he heard this, how could he forget that the goddess of the earth has a spiritual sense beyond mortal spirits!
Especially, since that incident, the power of God has gradually revived in her body!
"Brother, can you not leave?"
A tear slipped down her face, and Xi looked at Fengxi's back with a pleading gaze.
Long after the flood, she had already sensed that something was wrong.
After the disaster, Fengxi accelerated the pace of promoting the development of the tribe, and Eminem's mood was low during that time, which was all kinds of strange.
She was puzzled at first and ran to ask Eminem, but she didn't tell her.
Until yesterday, the night before the fire festival, when Ah Ge took the animal skin and carved those "words" on the altar, she had a premonition in her heart.
Brother, you're leaving!
Hearing this, Feng Xi took a deep breath, he turned around, looked at Nozomi, and touched Nozomi's little head lovingly.
"Yes, Brother is going to follow his own path!"
"Isn't Brother's road here?"
The tears on Nozomi's face finally couldn't help but welled up, the tears mixed with the rain, and fell to the ground, she sobbed, her voice choked,
"Isn't Brother's witch going to protect the tribe?"
Feng Xi touched Nozomi's hand and paused, then he smiled,
"Fenggon, this is Eminem and Nozomi, your way!"
"Outside, there are still many clansmen who need Brother!"
"They are not good at surviving in the Great Wilderness!"
"Brother is a witch, and he wants to bring them the fire left by the ancestor Dasui!"
"and ......"
"Let God's eyes depart from the wind!" Feng Xi whispered to himself in his heart.
