The Art of War says: The weather, the right location, and the harmony of the people, if these three are not met, there will be disaster even if you win.
If Xu Chen wants to achieve his hegemony, he must have the right time, right place, and the right people.
The essence of Chinese civilization passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years is full of contradictory theories and shady tricks.
But all the things in the clouds return to their roots
In the final analysis, all rivers return to the sea, and all streams return to the origin. If you want to succeed in anything, you must do it in a righteous way and in line with the laws of social and natural development. Otherwise, even if you succeed, you will definitely suffer backlash.
He cannot move towards his goal by destroying the moral framework of the era and forcibly kidnapping all primitive tribes.
Instead, we can only abide by the unique traditions of this era and adopt progressive reforms to achieve our goals, and this reform must conform to the laws of social development and the thinking habits and inheritance of primitive people.
The witch is the spiritual leader of mankind who currently transcends tribal existence.
If he wants to be king, he can only use the power of witches first.
Otherwise, even if he is extremely talented, if he wants to abolish witches or create a witch on his own, great hidden dangers will remain regardless of success or failure.
If you can't afford to fight, you can still afford to hide.
In this barbaric era, if a tribe doesn't want to surrender and doesn't want to be bullied, the worst it can do is to find a new place to live, stick out a piece of animal skin with a stick and drag the children and girls away without any belongings, which is worse than running away from the wilderness.
easy.
The kind of siege-type battles that took place during the kingdom period are simply not feasible now.
In this era of vast land and sparsely populated tribes, usually with only a few dozen or hundreds of people, finding a new habitat is a challenge, but it is still much safer than fighting and bleeding to death.
Population is the most precious wealth of all tribes.
Therefore, Xu Chen has been repeatedly preparing his new witchcraft plan recently.
He didn't have it before, but since he knew that the little witch was the real witch designated by the big witch, he immediately had a bold plan, and he was constantly perfecting it in his mind.
Mother’s mission to the Uzbek people with gifts was just the first step.
This is to stabilize the Uzbek people and prevent their fake witches from being exposed.
What is happening now is the second step of his preparation.
Create a great shaman heritage of your own tribe.
The scepter is an indispensable inheritance symbol of witchcraft.
Xu Chen didn't look down on the Wu tribe's great witch scepter, but he felt that the gains outweighed the losses. In addition, he felt that it was too dark to be seen. He could make a bunch of these things himself.
And in order to suppress the Uzbek people, he needs to build a luxurious version of the scepter.
For example, Darkness of Eternity, Wrath of the Dragon, Legend of the Guardian, Will of the Morning King...
In order to build this great shaman's scepter that belonged to the Ba people and carried his own will, he took Gu Heju around the nearby mountains and forests and cut back a large bundle of long and short wooden sticks of various materials.
Although these woods have different varieties and textures, they have a unified attribute, that is, they are hard and strange.
There are both vines and woody plants, all of which look very strange. While ensuring the right size and length, we strive to have a mysterious color.
After the wood was chopped back, he spent another day carefully considering its shape, texture and smell to select the one he thought was most suitable.
This is an old shrub, about two meters long, about the same length as the Great Witch's Scepter. It is about the thickness of a goose egg, and most of it is straight. There are knots at the root, plus a few roots deliberately left behind.
Together they look like a twisted snake wrapped around a piece of wood.
But this is only the most original appearance.
Xu Chen would never allow it to appear in front of the world in its crude appearance, so it still needed to be carefully crafted.
In order to make the scepter look more visually impactful, he sat in the room for two full days, looking at it over and over again, carefully cutting it slowly with a stone knife, removing some of the skin and root nodules that could not be left behind.
After removing the old skin and attachments, the whole wood looks like the root of a faucet crutch.
After rough machining, I carefully observed and polished it, and then slowly cut and polished it with a copper sharpening stone. After some fine processing, the entire wooden staff has taken shape.
The lower part is about 1.5 meters straight and smooth, and the upper part is like a horned dragon wrapped around it. The dragon tail, dragon body, dragon claws, dragon head, and dragon horns are all in shape. There are even two natural depressions in the dragon eye area.
holes.
Of course, this is far from the final appearance of the staff.
After arranging the second phase of the house expansion project and entering the preparatory stage, he focused all his energy on building this scepter.
Because I have accumulated experience in making golden horns and dragon-tooth scimitars, making the scepter is relatively not difficult, but the details still require some relatively complex artistic design based on the shape of the wooden stick.
First, wrap a layer of copper on the lower end of the stick, then use a knife to slowly cut and scrape out a circle of the upper and middle handshake area, and then wrap it with copper and gold to make it smooth.
The faucet is more complicated. The places that should be filled are filled with cinnabar mixed with lime and rosin. The places that should be dug are dug out with a copper knife and bone teeth. Then the colorful stones are hammered and polished and then inlaid with gold. The longan is made of two pigeon eggs.
of turquoise.
In order to ensure that the inlaid gemstones are stable and will not fall easily, all inlay positions are fixed with isinglass.
This processing procedure was the most complex and therefore also the longest, taking seven or eight days to complete.
Next is the inheritance runes that should be on the scepter.
This is a bit brain-burning.
After all, he didn't have any witch heritage, so he could only invite the little witch for careful advice.
Xu Chen has been shutting himself up in his room all day long, chopping, chopping, and banging, and no one is allowed in to watch. No one knows what kind of mysterious thing he is doing.
thing.
So when the little witch came in full of nervousness and apprehension and saw this luxurious wooden staff with glittering gold and colorful colors, she was stunned.
She was not stupid, she could tell that this was probably a wooden stick.
But why did Xu Chen mysteriously make such a weird and luxurious wooden staff?
"Good-looking?"
Xu Chen handed over the wooden stick that was nearly two heads taller than her with a smile on her face.
"looks great!"
Holding this heavy wooden stick, the little witch was at a loss and her throat was dry due to nervousness.
"The great witch's scepter is left in the Uzbek tribe. This is the new scepter I made for you..."
Xu Chen explained the explanation with pictures. In order for the little witch to fully understand, he even made several pictures in succession.
The little witch finally slowly understood, or in other words, she finally understood. Her face instantly turned pale and frightened, and she quickly put the wooden stick into Xu Chen's hand as if she had been bitten by a snake.
"Mo...Mo Xiga?"
The little witch's nervous hands were shaking slightly.
"Because you are a witch, a witch from our Ba tribe..."
Xu Chen sat down and touched the slightly rough wooden stick with both hands.
"You are the inheritor designated by the great witch, and you are a real witch. The Ba tribe needs you, other tribes also need you, and I need you too!"
Xu Chen raised his head and looked at the little witch seriously.
Although she couldn't understand Xu Chen's complicated language, the little witch could still tell from Xu Chen's serious and expectant eyes that he was serious about this matter.
"I'm...afraid..."
The little witch lowered her head in fear, not daring to look into Xu Chen's eyes.
"do not be afraid!"
Xu Chen put the wooden stick in her hand again, held her cheeks with both hands and raised her head to look at himself.
"This is the only way to save your sister. If you don't do this, she will definitely die!"
"Please!" the little witch's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, save her, this is the only way to save her... She is in danger now... The method last time can only be concealed for a while... But it cannot be hidden for long... Sooner or later, the Uzbek people will find out that you have exchanged identities..."
Xu Chen slowly explained the seriousness of this matter to her with gestures.
The little witch's chest rose and fell rapidly, she held the wooden staff tightly and was caught in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.
The panic finally calmed down, and the frightened pale face slowly returned to some normal color. Finally, he took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed Xu Chen's hand and said with a slightly trembling voice: "I can do it!"
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, nodded and gestured, "You are very brave, all of us will be proud of you. Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, I promise to save your sister!"
"I listen to you!" the little witch nodded vigorously.
"Well, now I want to carve the witch symbol on this scepter. I need your help. Come and sit next to me..."
Xu Chen sat back on his clay chair, dragged over a small rattan stool, and the little witch carefully sat next to him.
If it were another man, the little witch would be very cautious and distant when talking and communicating unless she sat down.
But Xu Chen is an exception. The little witch feels that she can do anything for him.
Because in the minds of her and her sister, Xu Chen is the great witch who has truly been cared for by the gods, and everything he does is the instructions and arrangements of the gods.
This is a kind of blind trust.
Because Xu Chen has completely proved his magic and greatness with his magic, and is an existence far beyond the great witch. They have prepared to dedicate their lives to the gods, so they will not feel uncomfortable if they follow Xu Chen's guidance and arrangements.
Something is wrong.
The most important thing is that Xu Chen said this can save his sister.
After discussing with her sister, she defected to the Ba clan with the Great Witch Scepter and planned to let Xu Chen inherit the scepter and become the Great Witch, thinking that everyone would recognize Xu Chen's identity and status.
It's a pity that they are too naive and naive, and their thinking is too simple.
How could the Uzbek people allow this to happen?
They also thought that if they stole the Great Witch's Scepter, they might be discovered and chased by the Uzbek tribe. If it was their younger sister, they would most likely be caught up and killed by the Uzbek tribe. Therefore, she decided to take the risk herself and let her sister stay with the Uzbek tribe, no matter what.
There will be no danger whether she succeeds or not, and she can show her witch mark at the last moment, so the Uzbek people will never kill her.
She always thought that this was a way to get the best of both worlds, but she didn't expect that Xu Chen didn't appreciate it at all and easily returned the scepter that her sisters had stolen out at the risk of their own lives.
But now, in order to save his sister, he actually planned to make a great witch's scepter himself.
And it’s so beautifully and luxuriously made.
Will this beautiful staff really belong to me from now on?
Thinking of the great witch's ancient and black stick, the little witch was nervous and excited, and began to collapse again towards the will of the gods carried on the scepter passed down by the great witch.
