Chapter 273: A New Year
After a night of excitement, the next day, a plan was made, and Yu Zai decided to set off after the guidance of Da Chun Ploughing was over.
So there's still a little time, after all, the new clan still needs some guidance.
And when the sun went down that day, at dusk, the twenty-eight gods gathered on the side of the sundial, pointed to a star in the sky, and shouted loudly.
"The Great Mars has appeared!"
Yes, a bright star appeared in the sky, the Great Mars, not the Luminous Confusion, but Antares, which belongs to the Seven Nakshatras of the Eastern Canglong, the second star of the fifth constellation!
So, the appearance of the big Mars is to tell everyone that it is time to put away the hustle and bustle.
Because of the Great Spring Ploughing, after everyone in the Chifang Clan arrived, when the Great Mars wandered in the sky, it was really about to start.
Gather your strength, work hard! Wonderful, the new year is about to begin!
The climate in the south is warmer than in the north, so spring arrives earlier than in the north, and after the end of the short winter, the three seedlings are defeated, the killed are killed, the migrated, the captured are captured, the biggest enemy is over, and when everyone walks back to their tribe, spring has taken a big step and quietly comes.
Winter will go, spring will come.
The fiery spring ploughing, in this warm day, began!
"It's the third year!"
Someone shouted loudly, from the time the Chifang clan came to this land until now, it is now the third year of great spring ploughing!
In this ancient wilderness, fighting with the beasts of heaven and earth, they live more and more wonderfully!
"Ji Chun is on fire, for the sake of burning!
In ancient times, a year of farming began with the burning of the famine, and the people were nervous because of the labor, and they were excited because of their longing, and regarded the burning of the famine as a precursor to a bumper harvest.
After the mountains and fields are burned, the fire is preserved again and waited for the next year, and the cycle is repeated, this ritual is called "Nahuo".
In ancient times, the period of slash-and-burn farming, the role of burned ash .... Naturally, there is no need to mention this.
"Here we go!"
Yu Yu held a torch and followed the large army to the wilderness, and began to burn the mountains and fields, just like in the first year, everyone burned the mountains and cut down trees to open up their homes.
Now that the Akakata clan has mastered advanced agricultural equipment such as plows and carts, the era of slash-and-burn farming has gradually faded, and if it were not for the lack of population, slash-and-burn farming in the Akakata clan may have completely become a kind of "sacrificial activity" before the great spring ploughing.
And every spring, the sorcerers of various tribes have to conduct a divination on this year's spring ploughing with divination.
In the first year, due to the heavy water caused by the snake, the important Bujia of the Tiller Ya clan was washed away by the water on the eve of spring ploughing, and was lost to the area of the Chifang clan, and was returned by Yu Zai.
This Bu Jia is not to say that there are no substitutes, the wizard of the Tiller Sprout Clan, Baili Mao, was once ready to use a replacement, but with a replacement, the solemnity and seriousness are definitely not as good as the original, and if this kind of thing happens before spring ploughing, it will be considered a sign of bad luck in the coming year.
It's not a question of whether there are alternatives, it's a question of whether there are pimples in the heart, everyone thinks that this year is unlucky, then maybe this year is really unlucky.
"I want to divination, I haven't done divination for the first two years... But to whom do I divination?"
Yu Zai is still holding the broken shell of the old turtle in his hand, the shell of the old turtle, after being removed, it has not been used up until now, I have to say that this thing is very good, it is said that the shell of the tortoise can be "worn without deafness" on the body?
This one has not been tested.
The Chifang clan is facing a very embarrassing problem, that is, do you want to divination?
Yu Zai really wants to learn Jiang Ziya, smash this turtle shell with one foot and then say a bloody word about the victory of the sky....
"You're ready, take it!"
Because of the influence of Emperor Yan, there is no need for the totem awakening of new warriors in this year's spring ploughing, because now the entire Chifang clan has awakened the totem even the lamb, and the sun totem does not even let go of a sheep, and one is counted as one.....
So Yu Zai followed the divination process and did it himself.
A "subtitle" popped up in my head?.... What Yu Zai saw at this time, if you insist on saying it, it's like playing a game and seeing subtitles and then there is no voice.
Some of the messages that Yu Zai saw at this time were roughly [The clansmen of the Chifang clan want you to give you the blessings of spring ploughing, do you need to give it?]
Yu Zai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
So the "message" began to be updated, because this process was done by Yu Zai himself, so basically the "subtitles" that appeared were also those sacrificial witch texts written by Yu Zai on Bu Jia.
The words of the prayer and the totem pattern began to merge into one, and the totem of the sun shone brightly on the body of the concubine, and the prayer was completed.
Yu Zai cleared his throat and began to say word by word:
"This year's Nanqiu harvest will be more than last year's, rice, taro, jinghua, and ....."
After simply reciting his wishes for this year, Yu Zai could feel that the totem of the sun began to shelter Nanqiu, this feeling was very clear, and between those few breaths, Yu Zai could even feel the changes in the wind, clouds, and air currents near Nanqiu, and even the heads of earthworms emerging from the new soil.
The feeling didn't last long and quickly faded away.
"Ah, that's amazing!"
If I sacrifice myself, then what I say is God's blessing!
"It turns out that God ensures that the wind and rain are smooth in this way, and the change and expulsion of wind, clouds, and air currents around the tribal settlements, coupled with a clear perception of the soil, may be able to suppress the growth of diseased seedlings in time, or let earthworms go out in large numbers to renovate the soil ....."
"So, that's right, the protection of the gods is also inseparable from the small wisps of wind in the heaven and earth, the little insects, everyone works together, this is the wind and rain, the relationship between man and nature..... God is the medium of reconciliation!"
Once again, Yu Zai has a clear understanding of the existence of "God".
The one who moves mountains and seas is a god, the one who shelters the wind and the rain is also a god, and the one who talks to the earthworm and the ant is also a god.
Some gods are human gods, some are natural gods, innate gods, sacrificial gods, and the origin of the gods is different, but they all have the ability to protect sentient beings, because they are all born directly or indirectly from the natural world.
Even if it is the "Great Dao" that is mysterious and mysterious, isn't the innate god also from the "Dao"!
Yu Zai left the wizard's small house, and in the ploughing field, he saw the Beizheng of the Jiuli clan, as well as the new, more than 200 migrated new clansmen, who were being "trained" with farming tools such as "plows" and "cocoons"!
But what's interesting is that the two eight gods are also joining in the fun, and judging from the blue nose and swollen face of the next few gods, their eldest brother has completed the task of beating his brother every day.
Yu Zai walked to the nearby ridge and stood on tiptoe to look.
"Look hard, learn hard, you must know how to plow tools, your past farming methods are no longer needed!"
With the use of Jinkela, the yield of wheat per mu is ..... Ahem, this is the South.
Yu Yi, Yu Wei, Yang, Wu, Ji and others carried out "demonstration operations" in the farmland, as if they had become agricultural production instructors in the new era.
Among the livestock, the big ox that had just been obtained, looked at its future "work" without blinking, and its two predecessors, the two stone oxen with ploughs, began to carry out the first "demonstration ploughing" in front of everyone.
In the distance, the low roar of the big guys is heard, and the big guys are ready to welcome the new year.
