In the next few days, Xu Chen hid in his room almost all day long, writing, drawing, and busy.
The women from the alliance tribes who came to learn spinning and weaving left together under the escort of several hunters. They first went to the Uzbek tribe, and then were escorted back to their respective tribes by the hunters of the Uzbek tribe.
Once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out.
The Uzbek family has a big business and a lot of men. Xu Chen took this opportunity to mobilize and cooperate. I think they would not have any objections, and they might even be very happy. After all, it is not common for Xu Chen to hug Xu Chen's thighs. He can only do it after helping him more.
There will be more benefits.
After these women left, the empty sheds and stone houses in the kiln were enough to accommodate all the captive men and women temporarily.
Grandmother began to formally take over the management of these women, selected a few well-behaved and obedient women as deputy, and then led them to officially start the activities of building a new home.
After all the men got familiar with the environment for a short time, they quickly got involved in the construction of the second phase of the compound. They collected stones, kneaded mud, rolled bricks, cut wood, and started labor reform under the leadership of a group of Ba craftsmen.
Following Xu Chen's instructions, Feng temporarily selected ten men from among the captured men to join the team for military training.
These ten people are not the strongest, but they seem to be loyal and honest.
Despite the warning from the great wizard of the Gonghuo Tribe, Xu Chen still did not dare to take it lightly and acted more cautiously towards these completely unfamiliar savages.
These people are not allowed to come into contact with any offensive weapons such as spears, bows and arrows.
And when you are working, there will be armored and armed Ba hunters on site to monitor you all day long.
Under the strong mental pressure and force suppression, all the prisoners behaved very honestly. They worked after eating and went to bed before dark. They behaved like kindergarten children. Occasionally, some with a bad temper would jump a few times, which was very annoying.
The ghost cried and howled as he was about to be beaten.
The great shaman of the Gonghuo tribe goes back and forth in front of and behind the house and on the construction site every day to observe and learn. Naturally, he will not get used to these thorns. Not only will he not help the tribesman who is being beaten, he will even come up and yell at them loudly.
After doing this several times, all the prisoners had a thorough understanding of the reality, and they all obeyed the plan honestly, and all construction projects were on track as they gradually became familiar with it.
Xu Chen worked hard for several days and finally got the result. He wrote the agreement reached between him and the Gonghuo Tribe into a sheepskin deed, and also made a great witch seal for the old witch to represent the Gonghuo Tribe alliance.
The sheepskin deed was written with viscous ink prepared by heating rosin and graphite, and the characters were written using a pictographic complex created by Xu Chen.
The old witch didn't know any of these words.
Therefore, when Xu Chen told her that the written contract had been written and given to her, the old witch was frightened and excited when she looked at the strange characters and symbols on the sheepskin.
What is horrifying is that these words are said to be created by Xu Chen according to the guidance of God. They can match the language with each symbol one by one. They are exactly like the heavenly book. They are more complicated than the inheritance of the great witch she obtained, which only has a few dozen runes in total.
many.
This shows that the power of the god who protects the Ba people is extremely powerful and irresistible.
I was excited to find out that I could use this magical creative method to record text, symbols and other content on animal skins.
Animal skins are much more convenient and simpler than recording what you see and think on a stone wall, and they are also easy to save, carry, and read. You no longer have to worry about not having enough space on the stone wall and adding to it from generation to generation.
So holding this animal skin deed, the old witch lost control of her emotions again, holding it in her hands and standing unsteadily.
Innovation and creativity of the Ba people are everywhere.
This small change is enough to affect the inheritance habits of all tribal shamans in the world.
Xu Chen knew that the old witch couldn't understand these words, so he asked her to sit down by the fire pond and explained them to her word by word. He also used some simple words on the stone bricks along the pond.
Draw a graph of charcoal strips and explain.
In this way, after the explanation of a deed was completed, the old witch had a relatively systematic understanding and recognition of this kind of hieroglyphics, and she was no longer in a state of blindness.
Because the basis of hieroglyphs is graphics, fire is the shape of burning flames, and Ba is the shape of a coiled snake.
The old witch couldn't tell yet whether the content and discussion were exactly the same, but at least through these words and this deed, she saw that a great era of witches was coming.
After all, the essence of witchcraft is inheritance.
Use language, symbols, and graphics to record what they see, say, and think, and continuously accumulate to form a crystallization of wisdom that is passed on, and eventually becomes a river-like spiritual belief that guides the unparalleled integration and development of tribes and all human beings.
,grow.
Witches have never been complacent.
They are working hard to learn and improve all the time.
Even if they are hostile tribes, they will communicate and learn from each other at the witch level.
Because once a witch stops learning and progressing and cannot clearly understand God's revelation, the tribe will slowly decline without God's guidance.
"This is your witch seal!"
Xu Chen finally placed a gold witch seal ring on the old witch's hand.
This gold ring weighs several taels. It has a circular flame symbol on the front and the words "Morning Gift from the Witch King" on the back.
Xu Chen also gave her a detailed explanation of the positive and negative symbols and words, and stated that all future contracts signed by the Gonghuo tribe and other tribes must be stamped with this witch seal to be valid.
The same is true for the deed in front of me.
Xu Chen asked people to invite a pair of twin little witches to participate in and witness the signing of the first contract between two different tribal alliances.
When the twin sisters came in with their respective scepters, Xu Chen had already prepared the red ink pad for the signing.
The ink pad is placed in a fist-sized clay pot. It is made by mixing and pounding several materials such as cinnabar, rosin, gum, and musk. When using it, take a small piece and heat it with a clay spoon and drop it on the animal skin.
Then cover it with a witch seal, and after it dries and cools, a bright red solid mark will appear.
Because rosin has strong viscosity, it can stick firmly to rough animal hides. As long as it is not deliberately scraped off with sharp objects, it can last for a long time.
This is a result that Xu Chen has already verified.
In the Huotang Room, there are currently only three witches representing both tribes and a self-proclaimed witch king.
After listening to Xu Chen explain the signing ceremony and its contents, the twin witches showed expressions of excitement and surprise at the same time.
The whole Ba people are already very familiar with Xu Chen's writing on animal skins.
The Ba people had no shortage of animal skins, so they could let Xu Chen spend extravagance and waste. Moreover, Xu Chen only used animal skins that could not be worn. They were of little use except for mattresses, pockets, leather boots, and armor.
The twin sisters have been in the Ba tribe for a few days and have become familiar with Xu Chen's new recording method. At present, there is a large pile of animal skins filled with text on the desk in Xu Chen's room.
But Xu Chen used animal skins to record the compensation agreement reached by both parties, and also asked the wizards of both parties to witness and sign the contract, which was a brand new idea.
The agreements reached between tribes have always been verbal exchanges and recognitions, and relied on the integrity of both parties to maintain them. Although it is said that the gods will not favor liars, who can say this clearly?
Just like this time the Gonghuo Clan attacked the Cang Clan.
At the beginning, the two great witches communicated and reached a verbal contract of mutual restraint and peaceful coexistence.
But after the death of the great witch of the Wu clan, the Gonghuo clan broke this promise.
Perhaps the Gonghuo Tribe's failure this time was the punishment for not abiding by the contract.
The old witch took the golden witch ring that Xu Chen gave to her with a depressed face. At the same time, she was also sighing. Once she signed this contract made with animal skins and words, it would be much more difficult to go back on it in the future.
Already.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
At the moment, she has no room for change other than to follow Xu Chen's guidance and become a sealing witch.
Xu Chen used a pottery spoon to slightly heat the cinnabar seal mud on the charcoal fire until it melted, and dropped it on the blank space of the animal skin contract. Then under his guidance, the old witch gently pressed it with her golden witch seal. For a moment
After taking it away, a three-dimensional flame mark appeared on it.
"Wow!"
The twin sisters' eyes widened in surprise, their faces full of disbelief.
The heated ink pad exudes a strong fragrance.
The colors are also very familiar to her.
It was similar to the red clay that my mother secretly gave her to smear on her back shoulders when she was on a mission to the Uzbek people last time.
Xu Chen secretly winked at her, then took out two gold rings and handed them to the twin sisters respectively.
"I have one too!" My sister took it over in surprise.
"In the future, all witches must have their own seals. When each witch signs a contract with a foreign tribe on behalf of his tribe, he must add a witch seal to be effective. These contracts will be protected by gods. Any witch who violates the contract will
The tribe will all be punished by the gods!"
Xu Chen spoke righteously, but his face could not help but twitch slightly.
I wonder if I will be punished by the gods for talking such blatant nonsense.
Originally he was an atheist, but after spending time with these witches who chattered all day long, he always felt that there was an eye in the sky looking at him.
The Wu nationality's witch seal has a bird shape on the front, which represents a crow, and the words "Morning Gift from the Witch King" are also written on the back.
Xu Chen didn't know what the word for "crow" in the Wu tribe was. The Wu tribe couldn't explain it clearly, so Xu Chen could only think of them as the crow tribe.
The Ba people's witch seal looks like a snake on the front, but there are two characters for "Great Witch" on the side, and on the back there are the four characters "Chenci, the Witch King".
Under Xu Chen's guidance, the twin little witches stamped their own witch seals on the animal skin contract with excitement on their faces.
Looking at the three bright red three-dimensional seals above, each of the three witches let out a sigh of relief.
Although the ceremony is simple, it is full of a mysterious feeling that has never been experienced before.
It seems that when this witch seal is put on, a kind of nervous emotion emerges from the depths of the soul, as if this animal skin book filled with words suddenly has a heavy sense of sacredness, which makes people feel a sense of sacredness.
