Chapter 191 The land of fire
The sunset landed on the other side of the distant mountain, and the light in the forest gradually decreased.√∟
The surroundings are already much darker.
Shao Xuan did not pay attention to the passage of time at this moment, nor did he even pay attention to whether there were dangers around him. He felt that it seemed that it was safe here, and there would be no dangerous plants attacks, nor would there be fierce predators coming.
All my attention is in the ground under my palm.
Feeling the warmth coming from below, along the palms, along the arms, gathered into the totem in my mind, stimulating the flames on the totem to keep rolling.
The evening breeze blew, and the wind seemed to carry some factors that were different from usual.
The surroundings began to quiet down, the original birds and insects, the roars of beasts in the jungle, the sound of the streams, etc., all gradually disappeared.
call--
call--
It's like the sound of flames beating in the wind.
But there was no Mars around. Even because of the setting of the sun, the night fell, and this unrecognizable ruined land was shrouded in darkness.
Shao Xuan kept staring at his palms against the ground, without moving at all. He felt that under his palms, it was getting warmer and warmer, as if something was spreading underground and was about to break out of the ground.
A little fire shone through the fingers, especially conspicuous on the dark night.
Soon, more firelight appeared under Shao Xuan's palm, and from the beginning the spark became larger and larger, and Shao Xuan's palms could not cover it.
After the fire light under the palm grew larger, it was divided into six branches and gradually spread in six directions. There was no rising flame, but it stretched in its own direction like magma. It stretched all the way to the woods, where Shao Xuan could not see it.
Withdrawing his hand and standing up, Shao Xuan looked at the six branches extending from the same point.
This is what Lao He’s ancestors called the “root” of the Yanjiao Tribe? The central point where the six branches gathered is where the original fire seed was?
Just as he was thinking, Shao Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong, and he seemed to be in such an uncontrollable but special state again.
Look at the ground under your feet, which was originally covered with flowers and soil, turned into stones. The size and placement of these stones are very familiar, just like standing in the fire pit of the Yanjiao Tribe.
Fire pit?!
Shao Xuan looked up at other places.
The original ruins were gone, replaced by unclear images, densely packed with people standing not far away, and the stone-built houses behind the crowd that were much taller than people. Just as they were painted on the mural in the cave near the foot of the Yanjiao Tribe, compared to the houses of most tribes, these stone-built houses are larger, taller, and much more magnificent.
There are also some carved stone statues, including people, some of them, and some of them are like warriors killing ferocious beasts.
In the closest places, there were some people standing, arranged similar to what Shao Xuan saw with his own eyes during the tribe sacrifice. There were also warriors serving as sacrificial dances, as well as those erected pillars and offerings. The difference was that there were six people standing closer to the fire pit. Shao Xuan could not see their specific appearance, and could only see vague figures. Their decorations were more "gorgeous" than the warriors of sacrificial dances. Wearing the decorations hanging on their bodies on their heads was more complicated.
A figure stepped into the fire pit and walked towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan knew that this was not really for himself. This person’s purpose should be the fire burning in his place. And this person should be a witch from the Yanjiao tribe back then.
These are all figures who can be called "ancestors". If people from the tribe over the other side of the river see such a scene, they probably have to kneel down again?
Shao Xuan stood there, quietly watching the figures around him.
The witch walked to the fire seed and didn't know what she put down, then stepped back and exited the fire pit. She stood by the fire pit and began to raise her arms, and should be singing.
The surroundings seem to be brighter.
Shao Xuan looked around him, and the rapidly rising flames wrapped him up. The sudden rising flames were illuminated even brighter, and the crowd standing not far away was also illuminated. However, Shao Xuan still couldn't see clearly, and could only see a rough figure, including men and women, old, small, and some of the accompanying hunting dogs held by the side that were probably engraved and printed.
Everyone was heading towards the fire. No matter which side Shao Xuan looked, even if he couldn't see the expressions of the figures clearly, he could still feel that they were all looking here.
Lift your foot and walk out of the center and out of the range covered by the flames.
Shao Xuan was like a bystander, looking at the figures around him. They did not change anything because of Shao Xuan's walking, because the two existed at different time points, and these were also reappearing in the past scenes, just like when Shao Xuan followed the advance team into the green space and saw the scene of the green thief walking at night.
The crowd standing around knelt down and bowed devoutly towards the fire pit.
A fire color is covered around it.
Looking back, Shao Xuan looked in the direction of the fire pit. The rolling flames were higher than what he saw when he attended the sacrifice in the Yanjiao tribe. The flames were much more violent. The surrounding sky seemed to be burning, and they were all dyed with fire, which was extremely heroic.
The Three Flames in the Fire Pond are just the first Flame, and they have reached such a level. What will happen if they reach the third Flame?
When I first saw the flames of the fire rising in the Yanjiao Tribe, I felt incredibly spectacular. But now, when I see the scene in front of me, I know what the real fire flame is, just like a picture once drawn on a certain animal skin scroll.
Just as Shao Xuan stood by the fire pit in the old place of the Yanjiao tribe, looking at the images that had passed by nearly a thousand years, the other side of the river far away from the middle.
At this time, not many people in the Yanjiao tribe would go out. There was already a large area of darkness near the foot of the mountain, and the Ye Yans flew around and were active, staring at each family, waiting for someone to come out, and then rushed up to attack.
The more we went up the mountain, the more fires, and some soldiers were lit up at home, perhaps making food, or just igniting the fire, and then talking around the fire.
At the top of the mountain, Wu noticed something and didn't take the crutch. He walked out of the stone house like a wind and headed towards the fire pit. The soldiers who were originally guarding the fire pit wanted to inform the Wu and the leader of the fire pit about the abnormal movement, but he didn't expect that Wu had already come.
Looking at the scene in the fire pit, Wu seemed to be stunned. Standing there, there was a moment of blankness in his mind.
In the fire pit, the fire seed that was originally a little bigger than beans is now jumping violently. Then it suddenly rose, rolled up, and expanded to the entire fire pit.
It is not the sacrificial period, and no rituals are held, and even witches do nothing. However, the flames in the fire pit are ignited like the sacrifices after winter every year.
It was still burned by itself! And the rolled flame is even stronger than the flames burned during the sacrifices every year!
"This...this is..." The leader who rushed over after receiving the report was also stunned when he saw the scene in the fire pit.
The leader Ao's words made Wu react from the blank state just now. He was just too excited and forgot to react.
"He has arrived! He has found it! A Xuan has found the hometown of Yanjiao!"
The witch knelt on the ground and bowed to the direction of the fire pit.
In the hearts of tribes, the witch, who was always a master of style, was so old that she knelt on the ground and cried all the time, but no one in the audience could make a joke. They knelt on the ground with the witch. Although they didn't understand exactly what this meant, they had a vague idea in their hearts, which made them extremely excited.
Shao Xuan has been away from the tribe for a while, from the end of the rainy season. Now that winter is approaching, no one knows whether Shao Xuan can cross the river safely, or what he will encounter after passing by safely. After all, he is just a young warrior.
Although everyone was illusioned and hoped that Shao Xuan could find something there, everyone felt uneasy. After all, there were too many dangers in the river. There must be more dangers and troubles on the other side of the river. Can Shao Xuan solve it alone?
Now, the flames in the fire pit, coupled with what Wu said just now, told everyone on the top of the mountain that Shao Xuan not only crossed the river safely, but also found the tribe's hometown!
The elderly who rushed over were so excited that they didn't know what to say.
The people at the foot of the mountain also noticed the changes on the mountain. The rising flames were too obvious. Moreover, the night swallows around who were arrogant and flying everywhere were now avoided far away, just like during the sacrifices every year, they were afraid.
Lao Ke walked out the door, looked at the fire pit on the top of the mountain, and said to Caesar next to him: "Is that caused by A Xuan?"
Caesar stared at the top of the mountain and looked at Lao Ke, and a humming sound came from his nose, as if responding to Lao Ke's words.
Not only is there a significant change in the Yanjiao tribe, but even on this side of the river, whether in the middle or marginal areas, there are many people who are changing.
Yan Shuo went out to hunt a not-so-large beast on the mountain today. After his strength increased, although the totem pattern was still light in many cases, it was much better than before. Sometimes he could hunt some beasts for his wife and children.
At this time, Yan Shuo and his family were eating barbecue around the fire and talking. They noticed something. Yan Shuo looked at his arm. The originally faint totem pattern actually appeared on his own. Moreover, the pattern was darker than before and much clearer.
Without saying anything, he just clenched his fists tightly, then smiled at his wife and children, and the fire reflected in his eyes was bright: "I think what we have been looking forward to is coming soon."
On the grassland.
Lao Hu was lit at home and dealing with some of the herbs he dug today. He was busy, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. He did not disturb his sleeping wife. He added some firewood to the fire, hurriedly got up to fetch a basin of water, and looked at the reflected images in the basin with the light of the fire.
He saw some patterns appearing on his face, which were not dark in color, because the light was too dark and it was not clear, but he knew what this was, which was exactly the same as the patterns exposed on his father's face back then!
That kind of power is real, not the illusory and irrational feeling of the past.
It exists in your body, flowing in every piece of flesh and blood.
A wide river.
Wooden boats several meters high or even more than ten meters docked on the shore. These boats are extremely luxurious compared to ships from other tribes.
Not far from these big ships, some dilapidated small boats docked densely on the other shore. Compared to those big ships, these small boats looked pitiful.
On the shore next to the boat, some tourists gathered there. They had to work until very late every day before they could come back. Then they gathered here, burned a large fire and got some food to eat.
Now they laughed at it, compared to those who have nowhere to endure hunger every day, they are considered good, even if they don't have much time to live.
As they were talking, the people around the fire were stunned as if they saw something incredible.
There was no laughter, and the few people who were eating food naked and who were slightly taller than others, felt the strange situation around them and were about to ask, but they saw everyone pointing at them and waiting for others, as if they were being strangled, and they didn't say a complete sentence after a long time.
However, when they looked at their naked upper body along the point where everyone pointed, they were also shocked, their hands trembled, and even the stone rice bowl that they usually were very precious to compete with had fallen, and half a bowl of meat soup was sprinkled on the ground. If it were normal, everyone would probably feel sorry for them, and even licked them on the ground, picking up and eating the drop of meat.
However, no one is paying attention to the meat dumps now.
"Picture...totem pattern..."
I don’t know who spoke first, but it was like a torch that detonated a barrel of oil.
Totem pattern!
Although these totem patterns did not last long, this night was destined to cause insomnia and caused severe changes in the psychology of some people.
However, Shao Xuan, who had caused all this, stood by the fire pit in the old place of the Yanjiao tribe, watched the scenes disappear, and everything returned to the original appearance of the ruins. There were no tall stone houses, stone statues, dense crowds, and witches. Everyone in the past was no longer there, and the fire pit was not the same as before, and the six extended branches also disappeared.
Shao Xuan sighed deeply.
"The glory of the past is no longer there!"
The scene was illusory, and only he could see it himself, but when Shao Xuan saw the situation on the surrounding grass, his pupils shrank.
The six pulse-like places extending from the fire seeds, all the flowers and plants that originally grew on it disappeared, leaving only the bare ground.
It seems that it is not all illusory. The six branches of the fire seed just now have really appeared.
However, in the Wanshi Tribe, which is not too far from the ferocious beast forest.
"There are unusual movements in the mountains and forests. Although it doesn't feel clear, I feel that there will be the biggest threat to the Wanshi tribe!" The Wanshi tribe witch with bones faced the direction of the mountains and forests, her expression was as if she wanted to devour people.
The leader of the Wanshi tribe standing next to the witch looked sinisterly in the direction of the mountains and forests and ordered the person who called over.
"Go and prepare, and bring the ten thousand stone beasts into the mountains and forests tomorrow!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
