This strange scene made Paigang Toast, who was already confident, suddenly beat a drum in his heart, yes, he was ready to sell his ancestors, children, and all his in-laws to "give the Gala Dongyi people a bright future" (He envisioned that he could be like many of the samurai slaves who took refuge in him and other Yiren Tusi, by serving a powerful master, getting more slaves than the Free Man, and rising to a higher position than the Free Man, for which all the betrayal and flattery were worth it, and it was not dishonorable to his famous Paigang Tusi) But he was really not ready to sacrifice himself.

He did witness the death of many people, some by his enemies, some by his orders, some by his own hands, all of whom would have been stripped of all their clothes and jewelry before they were killed.

The blood of the weak will reduce the value of clothing, and small pieces of jewelry may be lost during the killing, so these will be taken before the killing.

It was also for this reason that Pai Gang Toast concluded that he would not be killed.

Of course, as soon as the rope that bound him was removed, he would immediately and with the utmost respect, take off all the gold and silver ornaments on his body, no matter how heavy they were, and no matter how many slaves they had been exchanged for, and offer them to his new master's feet as soon as possible, as he knew that after the Yi people had taken the captives, they were to be beaten as usual to make the captives obedient, and to be able to show their attitude with some dead things that did not belong to him in the first place, and that it was a very good deal.

If Pai Gang Tusi was not so able to hold it up, and a person who knew the times so well, with his notoriety that "even slave traders would bundle and sell", how could Gala Cave be so prosperous?

But his precise calculations, these plans that he thought were invulnerable and destined to lead to a bright future, immediately wavered after seeing the formation put forward by Hua Lin.

So many well-trained warriors who could put on a square formation didn't take advantage of this great day to plunder slaves everywhere, but sat here and engaged in weaving?

There was also weaving among the Yi people, and usually—Paikon Toast had never seen an exception—was done by women, and so many warriors weaving here without any objection to their work completely broke Paikon Toast's common sense and led him in a terrible direction - it was a preparation for the sacrificial ceremony!

In the fierce civil war of the Yiren society, only when the gods were sacrificed, the toasts, samurai, The slaves will temporarily put an end to the eternal war of plundering slaves, and under the command of the priests, they will be neatly processed, cleaned, chanted, sacrificed, and danced, so Paigang Tusi immediately thought of sacrifice, only this is a religious ritual that all Yi people will participate in, and the others are exclusive to the priests, Paigang Tusi has no right to ask, and has never put much thought into it, the dark world of the Guru God is too difficult for him and other non-priests to understand.

Since this is a sacrificial ceremony, and there is a ready-made fire in front of you, what about the sacrifice?

Pai Gang Toast couldn't help but think of himself.

A valuable offering.

Although he didn't know what Pagang Toast was thinking, Hua Lin was still very happy to see him tremble for a moment, he had already heard from the other captives about Paigang's arrogance and shrewdness, this was a useful captive, he had prepared a big stick to teach Paikon Toast who was the master of Gala Cave, and it seemed that this stick was no longer needed. He nibbled on the roasted snake in his hand in three or two - this is another work he has personally cooked, although he now has thousands of Yi captives, but he has been in Yishan for so many days, he has long ceased to have any illusions about the Yi people's cooking - if they are similar to laymen in agriculture and animal husbandry, then their cooking skills must be added to this lack of raw materials- The miserable pigs, cows, and sheep could hardly even provide the grease for cooking, and the slaves were able to cut corners on the grain they sifted, so it was better to catch something nearby, such as the snake stalking in Toast's bedroom.

After eating the snake that had fallen into bad luck because it was "close", Hua Lin swaggered up to Pai Gang Toast like the owner of Gala Cave since ancient times, and asked the first question: "Where did you get your salt?"

"Merchants, merchants brought in. ”

"From outside Yishan?"

"Yes. ”

"Others, too?"

"Yes, some, will trade with me. ”

Salt is the most basic seasoning and necessities, the vast mountains, salt can not be self-sufficient, to rely on the merchant from the outside input, the mountain is high and the road is far away, it is not cheap to think of, it is no wonder that even the powerful Paigang Toast, the kitchen is also "use salt to wipe a circle in the pot even if the salt is spared" level, even the poor Jiming Village can not catch up, the general Yi people and slaves at the bottom can be imagined. It is true that eating too much salt has problems of one kind or another, but if there is not enough salt, where can people have the strength to work? It seems that the atmosphere of "not working if you can" from the top to the bottom of the Yishan Mountains from the top to the bottom of the mountain is also related to this.

The first step in changing the appearance of the mountain is to solve the problem of salt and other daily necessities.
