Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 279 Gathering Place

According to the records left by the ancestors, there should be two tall stone pillars near the fire pond, not one. When Shao Xuan came to his hometown for the first time, he only saw one tall stone pillar. As for the other one, it may have been destroyed a long time ago, either by man-made or by natural disasters.

In addition, there are other shorter stone pillars, the meaning is not as big as the first two, but they are more flexible in depiction.

Shao Xuan was in charge of the two largest stone pillars closest to the fire pond. Other stone pillars were arranged to be painted by others. Those only needed to paint some symbolic patterns.

The two largest stone pillars that Shao Xuan was in charge of were located on both sides of the fire pond, in the direction of the rising sun and the direction of the setting sun.

The stone pillars are mainly paintings similar to totem patterns, but these totem patterns are slightly different from those on the warriors.

Located on the stone pillar in the direction of the rising sun, there are carvings of machetes, bows and arrows, stone balls, hammers, axes, picks, chisels and other tools commonly used by warriors, including hunting and daily needs. In addition, there are all kinds of beasts. Although there are many pictures, each pattern is not complicated. Only a few strokes on the animal skin scroll can show their characteristics, so that people can see at a glance. What is painted on it.

On the stone pillars in the direction of the setting sun, various plants, flowers, ornaments, etc. are depicted. Some of the plants and flowers are planted and picked varieties, and some are commonly used herbs.

The patterns on the stone pillars represent the meaning of harvest and prosperity, and are also like "prayer and blessings" divided into two parts.

Shao Xuan first drew all these on a roll of animal skin from memory, and then cut a piece of wood to try, as a scaled-down model. The small wooden stake is simple. Shao Xuan started to carve it the day before, and he could show it to the witch and the leader the next day.

When the huge stone pillar is carved and erected. The tribe was full of cheers, and people in the tourist area just climbed the trees and pushed aside the leaves that blocked their view. You can see two pillars standing up there.

The short stone pillars in other parts of the tribe were also completed one after another, which is in the records left by the ancestors. What the tribe looked like a thousand years ago is getting closer. Maybe there will be more changes in the tribe in the future, but for now, they just want to try to replicate what the tribe was like back then.

After the stone pillar is completed, the cremation of the ancestors will naturally proceed.

This time, everyone saw the appearance of the seven ancestors. No one was afraid, but more reverence, and even more respectful and devout when kneeling down. Pray for a good harvest under the blessing of the ancestors, and pray for peace. Pray for strength, and pray for the smooth awakening of young children.

in the fire pit,

The rising flames engulfed the remains of the seven ancestors, and within a short time, even the ashes were gone.

There was a strong wind blowing from the mountain forest. I don't know if it was because of the influence of the newly erected stone pillars. When the wind blew, there were some voices one after another, like someone was whispering and singing.

Some people say that the ancestors who have no bones left in the mountains and forests have returned. Some say it was the ancestors' answer to their prayers.

No matter what the truth is, if everyone thinks it is, it is. No one will really stand up to refute.

After the ceremony of cremating the ancestors was over and everyone had dispersed, Ao walked to the broken stones stacked on the side and stood for a long time. Most of these stones are pieces of stone pillars damaged by the people of the Wanshi tribe, as well as pieces of buildings in other places. Whenever they see these, the people of Yanjiao hold their breath.

"Wan Shi, we will definitely fight!" Ao said.

Sooner or later, there will be a battle with the Wanshi tribe. Shao Xuan knew in his heart that the Yanjiao people couldn't swallow this breath. Also ashamed of the ancestors. Perhaps, the ancestors were worried that someone would come to the old place to destroy it. Only then did I bring those precious "history" deep into the mountains and forests, far away, and hide them in places where others dare not go there.

"Maybe this battle won't be far away." Ao said, looking at Shao Xuan, "Axuan, although I don't like those people from outside tribes intervening in our war, but, regarding the slave owners they said, I still care. After all, those are things we don't understand, and our ancestors never recorded them."

As a leader, you naturally need to consider more and cannot act rashly. If there is no slave owner, even if other tribes in the central region object, he can still fight, but the slave owner, Ao does have scruples in his heart. A Wanshi tribe that was predicted by the ancestors to perish long ago will become stronger. What role do slave owners play in it?

"I will inquire about the slave owner after joining the expedition team." Shao Xuandao. Even though he had met a slave owner, he knew very little. He only knew one thing: "The slave owner has great ambitions."

This Ao also knows that it can make the people of the central tribes jealous, and even let go of the hatred between each other for the time being. Slave masters are naturally not easy to deal with.

"This time Lei and Tuo came with you," Ao said.

There are three people who joined the expedition team this time. Lei is a well-known person in the younger generation of the tribe. After all, there was a tribe leader in his ancestors, and Lei himself is not bad. There is also a fierce beast. And Tuo is not bad. As someone who joined the advance team very early, he has enough strength.

It was very close to the gathering time that Reed Ye said, and Shao Xuan and the three of them were going to leave soon. Before Reed Ye and the others left, they also took out a map, which marked the gathering place.

A very simple map, a few monotonous strokes, and a few rough tribal branch logos, are too vague, and it is difficult to find if no one leads them. Fortunately, Shao Xuan has a more detailed map in his hand. Although it is not complete, the gathering place that Reed Ye said is right on the map drawn by Shao Xuan, near the edge.

The edge of the map is naturally not the edge of the continent. Shao Xuan didn't know about it further away, and he couldn't get the exact information from other populations. This time, he was able to perfect the map again.

Tuo, Lei and Shao Xuan, among the three, Shao Xuan is the youngest, but he is also the highest among the three. Who made him an elder? Therefore, without Ao and the others telling him, Lei and Tuo also knew that outside, Shao Xuan's opinion was the main thing. Besides, they are good at hunting, but not so good at finding places.

Because of the special situation, Lei couldn't leave with his domesticated beast, so he gave his domesticated beast "Meng" to his father. And Shao Xuan didn't bring Caesar with him either, the variables outside were too big, and it was inconvenient to take him with him.

"You can go hunting with Uncle Mai, don't fight, don't run around, and listen to Lao Ke at home. If you encounter a she-wolf in the forest, you can bring it back for everyone to see, but don't let it go. People who bite the tribe..." Shao Xuan said while brushing Caesar's hair.

Caesar's interest was not high, and he was a little emotional about Shao Xuan going out without it, and Shao Xuan said a few words before it responded in a low voice.

Three days later, Shao Xuan, together with Lei and Tuo, left the tribe and went to the gathering place of the far-reaching team that they said. They left before the sun came out, not disturbing the rest of the tribe except a few. (To be continued)
