Chapter 454: I'd rather die in the sea than in the mud pond
After countless entertainments, leaving the hospitable Xiong Family Travel Cave, the two wizards of the Xuan Snake Clan assisted them to embark on the journey back to the Ministry again, fortunately, they have successfully arrived at the vassal tribe of the Xuan Snake Clan according to the original plan, and the tribes in this area have been forcibly enshrined in the Xuan Snake Totem, of course, the Xuan Snake did not abolish the totem of their respective tribes, because the Xuan Snake needs a population rather than a dead body.
By the time they returned to the tribe, it had been another three days, and these three days, because of the hospitality of the vassal tribes along the way, the two of them had a pretty good life, as for what conflicts were going on among the vassal tribes, it was not something that the two of them cared about.
It's just that after the two of them left that day, the noise in the tribe became louder, and what was being discussed in this tribe was a "solicitation" and the future whereabouts of the tribe.
They don't know the south in the northeast, and they don't know much about the Lingnan on the other side, and most of them have never left here in their lives, and they live on wild fruits and fishing and hunting when they are not old enough to farm.
But this time, the old patriarch and the old wizard of this tribe entertained two "passers-by" from the Southwest Xuan Snake Clan, which was opposed by the young people in the tribe.
As a result, contradictions erupted.
Three days after the two "masters" of the Xuan Snake Clan left, just when they arrived at their own Xuan Snake Clan, a conflict also broke out in this small tribe, and a part of the radical faction led by five young people left the tribe, saying that they were going north!
Of course, what they went to take refuge in was, of course, not the southern plains.
The place they are going to is the Eight Hundred Miles Dongting!
They're going to take refuge in Sanmiao!
"Trapped in this place all the time, there is no development, we are tired of worshipping the snake! That evil giant snake actually asks for a pair of boys and girls to be paid to it every year, although only one tribe is needed every year, but this is also unacceptable to us!"
"Since two hundred years ago, Emperor Zhuan Didi Tiantong broke the bridge between gods and men, and broke the blood worship of the gods, where in this world is there such a fierce god who dares to be presumptuous! Since forty or fifty years ago, after Dayi shot the sun, what fierce beast in the world dared to make such a mistake!"
The young man was very aggressive, and the old wizard was furious:
"Here, to the Xuan Snake as a subordinate, at least to ensure that most of the people in the tribe can live in peace, the reason why the Xuan Snake is powerful and uncontrolled is because it was once shackled by the Emperor of Heaven, except for the yellow bird on Wu Mountain, there is no god who can restrain it!"
"Therefore, it does not dare to disobey the meaning of the yellow bird, and the snake will not slaughter the human race, our land is already barren, and the grain is not enough to feed many people, it is the snake that breeds many wild beasts to grow, so that the people can hunt for a living and grow the tribe..."
"You little fellows have also received its bounty! Which of you did not survive by the lives of your brothers and sisters who had never met and who had died!"
The young man was undaunted and looked directly at the old wizard: "It is because of this that we must not live like this forever!"
"The snake just treats us as livestock in captivity, we are not as good as it, we can, swallow our anger, after all, we will also raise cattle and dolphins, but the cattle and dolphins have a mouthful of forage to eat, they are satisfied, but we don't want to do this!"
"Now is the time for the snake to shed its skin, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"
The old wizard was furious: "Then you are going to take refuge in Sanmiao, is it the right thing! What kind of person is Sanmiao, even if we don't have news here, we can also know about the Danyuan incident more than 20 years ago, Sanmiao bullied the tribe, occupied the land, and finally attracted a large-scale attack on the Central Plains, they thought they had fought it, and threatened to slaughter the Central Plains, and as a result, they were beaten to the 800-mile Dongting!"
"Among the three seedlings, there are the remnants of the former four tribes! they used to worship the guys who cultivated snakes!"
"No matter how evil the snake is, at least it will govern one side, so that the wind and rain in this world will be smooth, and the harm of the land and water will not be prosperous, you go to Sanmiao, do you know how terrible and hateful it was to repair the snake back then!"
The young man said: "The snake is already dead! Its corpse has fallen, forming Baling in the west of the cave! Its skin has been stripped off by Dayi, and even its heirs have been wiped out!"
"Still talking about this, the snake cultivator is dead, and the four clans are already dead!"
"Sanmiao is still in Dongting Lake, I heard that they suffered a defeat, and now is the time when they are in urgent need of manpower!"
"We pass by now, like a man who is dying of thirst and suddenly sees water!"
As the young man spoke, his tone became desperate and his expression became terrifying!
"Sanmiao is also a murderer! Dongting is even more vicious! But what can we do! To break away from the Xuan Snake, we must become strong, we don't want to live like this anymore!"
"I heard that at the end of the east, there is an endless sea, the water of the sea is countless times larger than the river, we are like a small fish and shrimp breaking into the river, knowing that it is a place where the water is turbulent, but we would rather die in the sea than live in this mud pond!"
The tribe split out, and some people chose to be more vicious, but far away from the life of the snake, they were cornered, in this desperate mountains, hoping to fight a way out, instead of worshipping the totem of the snake every day, watching their totem sink humbly!
The Xuan Snake is different from Dongyi, Dongyi's sun totem is a pan-totem, which can increase the cohesion of the nine divisions of Dongyi, because they look at the sun as if looking at hope, and in the southwest, seeing the Xuan Snake totem, in addition to blood, is the despair of captivity!
Any living being can try to change its future, but some people are unwilling to change, and some living beings are willing to open up a way forward in despair, even if the end of the road is even greater despair!
Because, it can't get worse than it is now!
The population of this tribe is not very large, more than 2,300 people, which is still the result of many years of development, but this time, the young people left the tribe, and more than 500 young adults were lost at once.
The old wizard seemed to be dying for a moment, his hair gray and disheveled, age spots on his face, and a twig leaning feebly against the threshold of the hut.
"Qianshou, what will happen in the future......"
"Ah Bang, why don't you listen to your people..."
Similar things are constantly happening among the small tribes, and the young people have already been in contact with each other, and when they visit the mountains and rivers, cultivate the land, fish and hunt, they make up their minds.
The ancestral land can no longer bind them, such an ancestral land, they are determined to change!
If you don't go out to see the real heaven and earth, you can only be trapped here forever, what about Sanmiao, even if it is a vicious and vicious person, but it is a powerful alliance that once occupied Danyuan, as wide as Ge Tianlu and Zhenze, Na 800 miles of Dongting, and the land of Jingshan in the west!
That was once a powerful alliance that fought against the Central Plains!
The population of the tribe fled in large numbers, and the respective totems did not respond, and similarly, during this time, the totems of the various tribes fell into a kind of silence.
The totem can't decide where the new generation will go.
And the Black Water Snake is still cultivating at this time, after it molts, it takes a long time to recover, of course, as long as the Black Snake does not make big moves as always, the yellow bird on the west peak of Wushan will not stare at it.
Even the snake is thinking, that old hen, is still alive.....
By the time the two wizards returned, the great wizard of the Xuan Snake Clan was already waiting for them, and under the solemn Feathered Serpent robe, there were hidden wise eyes.
"Come, tell me and the gods, where does that dazzling and disgusting sun rise?"
