Huwa asked: "Master Gang, Ah Tong and the other clansmen killed Shao Jiachen, if I don't arrive, what are you going to do? Do you really think that as long as you destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, you can save the clansmen?"

The kneeling bar master bowed forward and said: "In front of the nobles, I don't dare to call the bar master, according to custom, you can call me the running bar." I also knew that it was impossible to cover up this matter forever, and I just wanted to delay it as long as possible, so that I could find an opportunity to move quietly and leave this place to settle in the uninhabited wilderness of the Southern Barbarians, or I could escape.

Wandering to the desert is full of hardships and dangers, and there may be many clansmen who will die on the way, but it is better than waiting for death together here. It's just that it's still summer, and it can't be traveled far at all, and it will be after this year's autumn harvest at the earliest. I had hoped to prepare in secret and keep it under wraps until winter. ”

The patriarch had thought long-term, and was already planning to flee with his clan, and he knew that this matter could not be covered up in the end, and the destruction of the corpse was just trying to delay as much time as possible. It is impossible to choose the migration of the tribe in the summer, when the rivers and marshes are dense, the roads in many places are difficult to travel, and the vegetation is luxuriant, the miasma insects and snakes breed, and the tribe does not hoard enough food.

The best and quickest time to do so is to wait until the winter after the harvest this fall. The water level of Yunmeng Juze has dropped, and dry land has been exposed in many places, allowing it to travel further south into the wilderness. In cold climates, plants wither, insects and snakes sting, and if you travel far in winter, you can find a place to resettle and cultivate the fields the following year.

It is not a good choice to flee the clan, and if you don't get it, you will be caught up or found, so it is still difficult to escape death, but in the eyes of the rushing bar, this is the only way for the whole clan to survive.

The name "Rushing Bar" sounds strange, but it is in line with the customs of the time and the locality. His name was Kong. When you become a patriarch and are old again, you will be called a bar. At that time, many nobles were not knowledgeable, let alone ordinary people, and people chose names very casually, from everyday things and scenes. There are a lot of names that are repeated.

For example, when giving birth to a child, when a fire is lit in the hall and water is boiled, smoke comes out, and the child is called to smoke the hall; there is a jujube tree in the courtyard, which happens to bear jujube but is still green, so it is called the child jujube green, and these are still aristocratic families. As for ordinary villages, names such as poles, pillars, big strong, two dogs, and stones can be seen everywhere, including many people called tiger babies.

Often, the same name may appear from next generation in the same village. However, among children of similar age, they will try to avoid duplicate names to show difference. The people of Rushing Village don't even have a surname, let alone the canonized clan name of the leader, and adding the village name or clan name in front of their own name is the most formal title according to custom, for example, the son of Rushing Gang is called Benliu.

The people of Benliu Village are one of the "Benliu Tribes" in the Jiuli Tribes, and the Jiuli Tribes call themselves the descendants of Chiyou. Yandi Shennong's surname is Jiang. His descendant, Chi You, who once established himself as Emperor Yan, is also surnamed Jiang, and his real name is Jiang You. And Chiyou is a barbaric name. Why don't the people of the Jiuli tribes take Jiang as their surname? It's not because they don't want to, but because they don't recognize it.

Jiang You first followed the last Yan Emperor Yu to return to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and later led his troops to rebel and establish himself as Emperor Yan. Of course, Xuanyuan would not recognize his identity as the Yan Emperor, and after capturing Jiang You, he cut his surname and called him Chiyou. The Jiuli tribes were once the sinners after the defeat of Chiyou, and they were forced to migrate to the land of the Southern Barbarians, and they also lost their recognized surnames and names.

Jiuli does not refer specifically to the nine tribes. Rather, it refers to the people of the tribes in general. Shao Jiachen was furious and rebuked these villagers as "Li Min's cheap race", not without reason, because the Jiuli tribes were deprived of their ancestors' surnames and names, also known as Li Min. And the other tribes of the land of China are called the people.

Ancient surnames and names. The sources are often complex. Clan was originally a clan name, and later it was also the title of the ruler himself or the honorific title of canonization. Nowadays, whether it is the land of China or Bayuan, only nobles can be given the title of clan, and there is often more than one clan title. As for the surname, it is derived from the ancestors, and usually a person can only have one surname.

Many folk surnames are derived from ancestral family names or titles or even official names. For example, Huwa herself does not have the surname Peng, but one or more of its descendants may have the surname Peng, which can be traced back to the origin of the ancestors and can also distinguish different tribal branches. As a convicted Li Min, he didn't dare to call his surname in front of Hou Gang and others, and the bar master could only call himself Rushing Bar.

But if many years pass, as the years change, such a title may also evolve into a family name for future generations.

Huwa heard about the plan of the rushing bar at this moment, and couldn't help but think of Yanzhao and Wufu back then, and sighed secretly in her heart. I don't know why Yan Zhao and Wufu led their clansmen to migrate to Bayuan in the first place, maybe it was also to avoid disaster. If that were the case, they would have suffered a much more serious disaster than the people of the Rushing Village today, which is why they ran so far.

Ben Circulation said a little unwillingly: "Ah Da, do we really want to move far away? If we go to the depths of the desert where no one goes, we don't know what kind of situation we will encounter on the way, and many people will die, and we may not be able to find a suitable place in the end." Now that there is no proof of death, Chongchen's clan should not have thought that Shao Jiachen was killed by us, and everyone will think that they encountered some accident on the road, and they may not be able to find out. ”

Rushing Gang nodded very firmly: "Stock up on grain after the autumn harvest, go south when the winter is dry, and avoid the deep mountains and barren forests as soon as possible." When the people of the Chongchen clan found out that something was wrong and chased after them, Yunmeng Juze rose again and cut off the road, which was the only chance for our whole clan.

Today, because you know that you can't get away with begging for mercy, you will start killing people, and after you have suffered a catastrophe, how can you be lucky? Even if we have destroyed our corpses, there are also masters in the Chongchen clan, who can use incredible immortal methods to find out clues. As these nobles said, can you expect everyone in the clan to withstand the torture at that time?"

Huwa interjected: "Patriarch of the Rushing Bar, your idea is wise, but you can't wait for the Autumn Queen at all. Shao Jiachen disappeared for no reason, how could the Chongchen clan not send someone to investigate, as long as he investigated carefully, he would know the truth. If you don't believe me, you can find a random child from the village, just find the most clever one, and I'll just ask a few words. ”

Rushing Bar didn't dare to disobey the tiger baby's intentions, and really asked his son to go out and find a child to come in, a teenage girl. Her expression was timid, and she grabbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, but her eyes were clear, and her appearance was quite clever. Huwa asked directly: "Little sister, don't be afraid, just answer what I asked." The clothes that Lord Shao Jiachen is wearing today are not beautiful?"

The little girl was about to answer subconsciously, but she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know, Lord Shaojiachen has never come to our Runliu Village. ”

Huwa smiled: "Why don't you ask me first-who is Lord Shaojiachen?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Who is Lord Shaojiachen?"

Huwa didn't answer, and then asked, "How did you hear of Lord Shaojiachen's name?"

The little girl was a little dumbfounded, and after thinking for a while, she replied, "I heard what you said just now." ”

Huwa waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's okay, you can go back." ”

The little girl walked away in a nervous mood, and the tiger baby looked at the rushing bar and the rushing flow, and the father and son were both dead. Ben Circulation deliberately found a child who seemed to be the smartest and most clever in the village on weekdays, and he told him again and again. Fang Cai's words may sound fine on the surface, but as long as you are not a fool, you can see that there are flaws from beginning to end.

Most of the people in the border villages are simple and ignorant, as long as they inquire about this, they can detect suspicions with a few casual words, and the real inquirer will not be as polite as the tiger baby, can they still expect to keep the secret until winter? The father and son knelt down together and said, "A few nobles, please teach me the way to save my life!" and then kowtowed again and again.

Huwa waved her hand and said, "You don't have to kowtow, I have a way to make the Chongchen clan unable to find out here, and you don't have to risk traveling in a hurry......"

He whispered his way. The more the patriarch and father and son listened, the more surprised they became, and they raised their heads and said, "Is this really possible?"

Huwa said unhurriedly: "According to my method, I can make Rushing Village survive this catastrophe safely...... And we will also cast a magic spell, except for your father and son, everyone else in the village will forget about it, only remember that today a fierce beast broke into the village and was killed by all the villagers. ”

Rushing Gang was overjoyed and said: "The upper immortal family actually has such great magical powers, but I don't know if it will hurt their sanity?"

Huwa muttered, "I can't guarantee that it won't have any effect on the soul, but it won't cause harm, and I can also promise that it won't damage their sanity." ”

Rushing Bar: "I don't know when I can cast the spell, how I will cast the spell, and what preparations do I need to make?"

Huwa replied simply: "You don't need to make any preparations, just now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if an invisible wind was blowing through all the houses in the whole village. Those villagers who had not yet fallen asleep or were still whispering all felt confused for a while, and their bodies fell asleep in place as soon as they went limp. Huwa once cast a similar divine soul spell on Ji Gu in Pengshan, but now it has been replaced by her disciple Taiyi to cast it on the villagers.

With Taiyi's cultivation, the clan god who once worshiped the people, Yide Huwa taught pure yang techniques, and it was of course very easy for ordinary people to cast this kind of spell. But under normal circumstances, he needs to gain the complete trust of the other party and take the initiative to let go of the cooperation of the Yuan Shen in order not to hurt the divine soul.

Of course, the villagers didn't know how to let go of the Yuan Shen and cooperate with Taiyi to cast spells, so it was the best choice not to tell them at all.

Today's incident is a disaster for everyone in Rushing Village, and for some children, it will even leave a psychological wound, and everyone would rather it didn't happen. Later generations of psychology scholars believe that people are often reluctant to recall real events in this situation, and often subconsciously make up another memory illusion to cover up.

The soul spell cast by the tiger baby called Taiyi was precisely to take advantage of this psychology to make the villagers forget about this incident and unify this experience into another memory, that is, today a fierce beast broke into the village, but was killed by Atong and everyone together. This will have minimal impact on everyone, and there will be little damage to the sanity. (To be continued.) )
