Chapter 476: The Mountain (Part II)
"Ya, I heard you want to go out?"
A delicate girl with a bone ring tied to her hand looked curiously at the cliff where she was fishing.
The young man nodded: "I have already told my father and mother, in a few days, I will leave." ”
"Is it because of the omen that the wizard said?"
"There are some, but people don't want to move, and I wanted to go out for a long time. ”
"Why?"
The girl was at a loss: "There is food, clothing, and family here, although we are surrounded by mountains, but we don't have much suffering, as long as we work hard to farm, fish and hunt, we can eat enough, why go out?"
"Because I want to see the outside of the mountain. ”
Here's what the boy said: "It's big outside, it's big, it's big, there's a boundless sea in the east, there's a vast grassland in the north, there's a towering snow-capped mountain in the west, and the farther south, according to legend, it's where the Tsuhirono no Ye is." ”
The girl shook her head: "The finches in the mountains and wilderness, flying all their lives, are hovering in the mountains, they don't envy the so-called sea, they don't look at the so-called grassland, they don't know what the snow-capped mountains are, they are equally happy, why give up happiness and pursue suffering?"
Ya sighed: "Ah Shang, the turtle doesn't know where the fish are going!"
The girl was stunned, and her cheeks suddenly bulged, and she was very angry.
"I've decided to leave, do you want to come with me?"
However, the boy sincerely asked the girl, and the girl shook her head after thinking about it.
She didn't dare to leave, and the family wouldn't let her leave.
If there is one less person, there is one less helper, and then life at home will be difficult.
"You still have the eldest sister and younger brother at home, and the younger brother has grown up and can help with the work, but I can't. ”
"But I can wait for you to come back. ”
Ya had long known that Ah Shang would not leave with him, so after a long silence, Ya patted the girl's head.
Wait, I can't wait, how far is the mountain, how long does it take for the Huodu River to go against the current, and then I can see the green water?
None of this is known.
After a few days, he gave up the cliff of hazy love and embarked on the journey of leaving, and there was no one with him.
Everyone is waiting, the tribes are going to move together, it must be a big deal, and the cliff and they are not on the way.
"Every ten years, there will always be some radical children who want to go out of the mountains and see the outside world, heh, the outside world is so dangerous, decades ago, that giant broke in and killed thousands of people, how many monsters are similar to him outside!"
Regarding the departure of the cliff, many people sneered and said something similar.
The outside world is dangerous, and this is the only place to be.
But Ah Shang remembered the words of the cliff, and the turtle didn't know where the fish were going.
Turtles don't know where the fish are going.
After the cliff left, the tribes of Huodu Lake continued as usual, day after day, seeing that winter was about to turn to spring.
When everyone relaxed their vigilance, outside the mountain, many people broke in.
These men, claiming to be from a tribe of the gods, had defeated the warriors here, hanged or beheaded many of them, and after complete victory, they declared that the mountains had become their vassals, and that the blood sacrifice had been feared again.
The young children will be taken away as blood food to be offered to the gods as a sign of loyalty to the tribes.
[Recommend blood to the gods!]
"Since Emperor Zhuan, where is there still a god of blood sacrifice between heaven and earth!"
This was the old sorcerer's accusation, but the sorcerer who defeated him coldly told him that this god was older than the time of the Emperor and was the ancestor of the human race.
This sentence made the old wizard understand the prophecy of the previous ancestors.
The sorcerer covered his face, claiming to have been blessed by the gods and turned into an immortal body, but under the cover of his heavy sackcloth and animal skins and bird feathers, he deserved not a flesh and blood body, but a shriveled shell like a dried corpse.
"Our tribe is the assimilation of countless tribes, and we now call ourselves 'Xia'! Our gods are called 'ancestors', and they are the ancestors that all tribes should respect, and after being sacrificed by the ancestors, they can obtain an immortal body!"
These tribes, some of them freed slaves, some of them were small tribes that were about to be wiped out, they were guided by the "gods", gathered, and their sorcerers really gained immortal bodies.
The reappearance of the ancient blood sacrifice god is not known to many tribes in the Southern Wilderness for the time being, because the more remote the place, the more frequent the blood sacrifice behavior, which comes from the ignorance of the world and the fear and awe of the so-called "gods".
Compared with the behavior of the snake, because the snake is basically a beast, so it can say "I am a barbarian", after all, the beast itself does not have morality, if it were not for eating the deer and the undead grass, the snake would not have survived now.
Moreover, although Emperor Zhuan swept away the behavior of blood sacrifices, in the era of Emperor Zhi, monsters such as snakes and nine infants, as well as strange beasts and giant gods, also set off turmoil, and at the same time, it was accompanied by the legacy of blood sacrifices.
The faint turmoil, like a dark fire, burned in the interior of the Southern Great Wilderness, and these blood-sacrificing tribes began to conquer and seize some small mountains and fields, but did not dare to migrate to the central and other large mountains, because the big countries such as the weary fire and the feather people were among them.
"This woman is good, she can be the attendant of the gods!"
The mummy-like wizard pointed at Ah Xiang, and with the entire clan under control, the fire crossing river was already filled with bright red blood.
Ah Shang looked into the distance, which was the direction of Gan planting trees, seeing that spring was going to autumn, and Gan planting trees were about to bloom.
So the tribe was dragged away and became slaves, and here the fire crossed the river, the fireflies stopped flying, the houses collapsed, the wooden pillars tilted, and only the Ganzhi tree remained, still standing quietly.
Heaven and earth, miserable, from this day onwards, when spring goes to autumn, this sweet tree never blooms again, and never bears fruit again.
The people of the tribe were gone, but they did not leave in the form of their dreams, they had no way forward, and they walked tremblingly towards the abyss, and the only thing left behind was the fireflies that flew back every year, and the five-hundred-year-old Ganzhi tree.
This big tree is waiting.
The day when the people who are waiting to leave will come back, it believes that it can wait, because it can live for thousands of years, and one day, someone will come back.

When the water of Huodu flows, the waves flow backwards, and the vast green water appears in the eyes of the cliff.
He finally knew and walked out on his own.
Out of the ancient and bewildering mountains!
When he saw the vast wilderness, he did not know where to go, he raised his head, and the birds in the sky were soaring, and he walked forward to the wilderness of Biyi, and when night fell, the two eight gods appeared in front of him, dancing and chanting ancient songs in front of the three sparks in the wilderness!
He saw that there were fireworks nearby, there were tribes living here, and the people of the tribe told him that those shadows were the two eight gods, and they were the night stars of the Yellow Emperor, a few years ago, the sparks were stolen, and the years were lost, and the three seedlings attacked the north, and the gods went north to look for fire, and then there were wizards from the north who came here and rekindled the spark, so the vast wilderness knew the time again.
Cliff looked at some of the farming tools used by the local tribes, his eyes widened, he had never seen them before.
And for the tribesmen outside, the young man Ya is like a time-traveler two hundred years ago, and his cognition is stagnant.
"You say this, this is called a plow! from the fire-weary country, and the fire-weary country got it from the southern hills of the northland!"
The young man of the tribe looked at him with a smile.
