The sun has completely sunk into the abyss, and everyone is around the fire, and the young people are full of energy, but there are also people who are so busy that after a tired day, they should fall asleep and rest, but some people have been idle.

The old patriarch looked at these children and said, "Since you don't want to rest, then keep vigil, watch the fire, and if there is something, be sure to remind you." ”

A few young people, you look at me, I look at you, and one of them said: "Patriarch, we.... Can you keep a vigil?"

The old patriarch suddenly smiled: "What, are you afraid?"

The young people suddenly felt underestimated, and raised their heads with their chests straight: "Of course I'm not afraid!"

"Actually, I'm still a little scared...."

A teenager swallowed and whispered.

Immediately, he received several dissatisfied glances.

"Haha, I'm afraid it's normal. ”

The old patriarch sat down: "I used to be scared too. ”

The young men sat down around the fire, and the old patriarch gave them their names: "妘磐, 妘狸, 赤方耳, 赤方芜, 赤方冱 (hu, four sounds, meaning freezing)." ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Young people, you push me, I push against you, shoulder to shoulder, and grimace at each other.

The old patriarch looked at them with love in his eyes.

The old man pointed to the high sky, and on the dark curtain, countless bright silver stars hung from it.

"Do you know what those are?"

"It is the star! It is the essence of all things that rises from the sky, and it is the light that the ancestors will finally turn into. ”

The fox was very proud: "I used to listen to the witch!"

The old patriarch smiled: "What else?"

"It's God!"

Chi Fang'er stretched out his hand: "I used to hear my father say that the ancestors were with the gods, and the gods dwelt among the stars. Since Emperor Zhuan was connected to heaven and earth, there was no trace of the gods walking in the world, and they left and went to the deepest part of the star. ”

The children's eyes twinkled, and they were full of interest, as if they were listening to a mythological story.

And this is precisely the true history of this mountain and sea.

The old patriarch nodded: "The stars, the essence of all things, are the ancestors and the dwelling place of the gods, but before, when I was keeping vigil for the first time, I looked at the stars in the sky, you see, staring at them for a long time, will you see, they seem to be blinking?"

The teenagers raised their heads and looked at about ten breaths, then Chi Fangkai stammered, "Yes... yes, really... It's true... Really blinking...."

The teenagers whispered.

The old patriarch reached out and added a stick of wood to the fire.

And tongues of fire sprang up, and the light was all in front of him.

"Yes, they are secretly watching you, are they gods watching you, or are they ancestors? haha, when I first kept a vigil, I was so scared to look at these stars, they were like ..... Some monsters, hiding in the darkness of the sky, stealthily ... Look at you guys. ”

The teenagers swallowed involuntarily.

The old patriarch exhaled, and the tongue of fire swayed in front of him: "After the night falls, the mountains and seas are extremely dangerous, you can't relax in the slightest, and the fire can't be extinguished at all, otherwise they will come in order, at that time I once told my father, if there is no fire burning on the ground, is it a monster in the sky, will pounce down and kill us?"

"At the time, Father laughed at my whims, but in the end he encouraged me, and he told me that even if those monsters really came down, we could rekindle the flames and banish them. ”

"Therefore, fear the mountains and the sea, but do not bow before them, otherwise the heavy mountains will crush you and the vast sea will drown you, and remember that the vigil is a noble act, which means that you are sacrificing yourself so that others can sleep in peace. ”

"They are relying on you, and you are watching over them. ”

The five young men straightened their chests, and their backs were straight and tight.

The old patriarch held out his large, rough hand, which had several stab wounds, and he patted the boys on the shoulders one by one, and punched them on the back.

"You are the bravest warriors. ”

The patriarch's praise made their hearts flutter, and everyone's little faces flushed with excitement.

The old patriarch's wrinkled face gave rise to a smile: "I hope that after you copy the totem, don't forget the story of tonight, you are warriors, and warriors are born to protect their clansmen." ”

"Don't forget the ten warriors who carried you across the river, don't forget the people who died on the way, and don't forget the comrades who died in Daze. ”

"In order for this to never happen again, you must thrive and become stronger. ”

The five teenagers clenched their fists tightly, and the eyes of Yu Pan flashed with anger, reflecting the firelight, and he asked the old patriarch, "How strong do you have to be to truly protect the clansmen?"

The old patriarch looked up.

"When the fire rises, the totem will appear, and after the wood reaches the sky, the totem can be erected, so that we can really rely on the fire and wood to engrave the totem on our body. ”

"The newborn totem is relatively weak, and it can't fully apply the power of the clan yet, but it's like a seed, it has been planted, and it's only a matter of time before it grows stronger. ”

Stars twinkle in the teenagers' eyes.

"Then it grows up, this is the young strong body, at this time, the totem that the clan opened for you will gradually change to personal power, and your totem will also change. ”

"For example, if our totem is a sheep, then you, the totem that you open, may be a goat like a lamb, then you, the raccoon, the totem that you open, may be the long-haired sheep that is further north. ”

"Naturally, there are many more, sheep-like things, which cannot be named, which do not necessarily exist, but they represent you. ”

"Man is a totem. ”

"The first born, the young strong, and then the mighty god. ”

"The body of the mighty god, as the name suggests, can fully use the power of the clan totem and integrate it into its own totem, so that with the help of the power of the clan to fight, as long as the tribe is not destroyed, the power of the mighty warrior will not fade. ”

The old patriarch spoke, while the boys listened attentively.

"After that, there are Samyun, Renxiong, and... Flourishing. ”

"The power of Shenyun is the same as that of the earth beast, isn't there a whirling turtle in Zeshui, it is not an earth beast yet, but even if it goes further, it becomes an earth beast, and it is just a commodity that was beaten to death by the ten fists of Shenyun's body. ”

"As for the ..... of the human male"

The old patriarch said slowly: "Have you heard, fifty years ago, the Tao Tang clan 'released Xun', he was not the co-lord of the world, at that time, he had just replaced Emperor Zhi for sixteen years, and there were many people in the world who did not obey him. ”

"When he first succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize his position, he had to unite all those who could unite, so he began to build cities, so he began to conquer other tribes, so he began to consolidate the relationship with the Siyue clan, the four emperor clans, and the four desolate kings...... But soon, something happened in the world....."

"In the eastern sky, beyond the sea, ten suns appeared....."
