After the old witch and the twin little witches finished sealing their respective witch seals, Xu Chen turned around and took out another square golden seal.
It's heavy, I'm afraid it weighs several kilograms.
He burned the seal in the charcoal fire for a few minutes, then wrapped the handle with animal skin and placed it directly on a blank space of the animal skin deed.
There was only a slight sizzling sound, and instantly the smell of burning animal skin filled the air.
After a while, when Xu Chen took the golden seal away, he saw a hollow black mark about half the size of a palm appearing on the animal skin, which was the four characters "Seal of the Witch King".
"Chi~"
Xu Chen put the gold seal into a pottery bowl filled with water to cool down, then picked up the animal skin deed with four different seals, looked at it left and right for a while, then smacked his lips and showed that he was quite satisfied.
smile.
The content is not important, the ceremony is important.
Just like primitive people are accustomed to gathering through some grand sacrificial activities, this is not only a communication activity, but also a spiritual belief, which increases the cohesion between tribesmen and tribes in the name of gods.
These rituals played a huge role in the development of human beings, and eventually became a grand festival for spiritual sustenance.
Just like the Chinese Spring Festival, it has evolved from ancient sacrificial worship to a festive event in the feudal dynasty, and then to a holiday for family reunions. Although the mythical color has been constantly faded, it has never been able to change this ancient inheritance.
This has formed China's unique cultural customs.
Every Spring Festival, no matter how far away, no matter how tired, no matter how miserable, no matter how poor, people have to rush home, just like migratory birds migrating on a large scale, just to go home for a look and a meal. If they don't do it, they may not do it for the whole year.
I feel that my soul is empty and lonely, and I miss you so much.
Xu Chen wanted to use this sacred ceremony to sublimate the spiritual binding force of this contract.
If the contract made by a group of witches cannot be abided by and executed, then only bloody and violent means will be left.
If you can fight with words, try not to fight with force.
This is Xu Chen's simplest idea, and it is also the best method that meets the interests of all tribes at the moment.
Because there are too few people and they can’t stand the trouble.
This time the friction between the Cang Clan and the Qia Clan led to the involvement of the Gonghuo Clan. The number of casualties on both sides exceeded sixty. Although there were many injured and most of them would recover, more than ten people died before and after, and there were still some left.
He was disabled for life and no longer had the ability to hunt, almost becoming a cripple.
This will not only weaken the tribe's strength, but also impose a heavy burden on the tribe.
The injured cannot hunt and needs to be taken care of. In the current situation of lack of food and clothing, it is just adding insult to injury.
Therefore, war is an act that needs to be avoided as much as possible.
If a sinister time traveler who has been influenced by five thousand years of Chinese civilization still uses the most barbaric and brutal methods to fight with primitive people, he is not brave and fearless, but stupid.
After the deed was signed, Xu Chen summoned all the men and women of the Gonghuo and Qia tribes who were working. With all the Ba people watching, he read out the contents of the deed in public, and then the old witch translated it.
In fact, these contract terms had been basically formed before leaving the Gonghuo tribe, and they had already spread among the Gonghuo tribe. During the past few days when she came to the Ba tribe, the old witch would go to the kiln every morning and evening to communicate with a group of tribesmen.
The content is no longer a secret. The contract signed is now officially announced and displayed for everyone to see. The purpose is to make them fully accept this reality and stop having unnecessary thoughts.
Sure enough, these contents did not cause much reaction from the men and women of the two races. There was just a slight commotion and then it quickly calmed down.
After announcing the contract, Xu Chen officially announced that all the selected women and the Uzbek people who had defected before would form a new family, with his mother as the leader of the new family.
In order to appease these women, Xu Chen said that the second phase of the courtyard under construction will become the living place of the new family, and all treatment will be the same as that of the Ba people.
As soon as the news came out, many women who were still crying suddenly became so excited that they forgot their sorrow, and a group of Uzbek men couldn't help but burst into cheers of howling like ghosts.
As a group of outsiders, they certainly do not lack food, drink and housing, and their treatment is almost the same as that of the Yeba people. However, they do not have the right to mate because they are not men who came through formal marriage. There has always been a feeling of inferiority among the Ba people.
, they do the most tiring and heaviest work on weekdays, just to get food and clothing, and are even more afraid of being driven out by the Ba people due to competition for mating rights.
Now Xu Chen asked them to form a new family with these snatched women. From then on, they also had their own group of women, and they could finally live a happy and beautiful life.
What's more, all the people they snatched back this time were young women, enough for them to work hard as studs and sleep with different women every night.
Seeing the excitement of these Uzbek men, the eyes of a group of Ba men were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and of course they were even more eager to try.
How can so many young and strong young women and a few old, weak, sick and disabled Uzbek animals live a good life? In the end, they have to do something good for them, so as not to have to have some fun with the old king next door.
We are all a tribe anyway, and the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
The most injured were naturally a group of men from the Gonghuo and Qia tribes.
But right now, they have no choice, and they don't even dare to think about resisting.
Because there were three great witches in the formation, especially the gleaming golden scepter covered with colorful gems in the hands of the little witch in the middle, and the entwined dragon with two big green eyes watching them like gods.
It made everyone feel unparalleled fear.
This was an unprecedented and unconventional operation.
It was completely planned by Xu Chen, and the results were completely different from the previous conflicts and wars between tribes.
The contract was handed over to the great shaman of the Ba tribe for safekeeping. Until all the contract contents are fulfilled, three shamans will be summoned again to announce the abandonment in public.
According to Xu Chen's request, all important tribal resolutions and important agreements between tribes must be recorded in animal skins and signed by shamans from both or three parties to be valid, especially those involving war compensation and large-scale settlements.
The cooperation transaction must be confirmed by a deed.
If it is a peace agreement reached between tribes due to war, it must be confirmed by Xu Chen and stamped with the seal of the Witch King, otherwise the Ba tribe will not recognize the validity of the agreement.
The three golden witch seals obtained by the three witches are the legal seals for future agreements.
Facing this heavy gold ring, the three witches also had different mentality.
The twin sister who became the great witch of the Ba tribe was in a calm mood, because Xu Chen was by her side, and she could do whatever Xu Chen asked her to do. The value of her existence was to help Xu Chen manage the witches of all tribes, and she would just be responsible for sealing the seals in the future.
The twin sisters were obviously full of excitement and curiosity about this exquisitely crafted witch seal that had been endowed with magical powers by Xu Chen. They put it on their slender fingers and turned it around to look at it carefully. This was an unprecedented experience.
It seemed to have a magical power that filled her with the desire to stamp it.
As for the old witch, she loved and hated this golden signet ring, and her emotions were extremely complicated.
This ring is a magical item that she has never seen before. With it, she will gain an important ability that she has never had before, that is, power.
Although she still cannot understand the word power and does not know where this ability comes from, her decades of accumulated life experience tell her that this power will be an authority that transcends spiritual beliefs because it
Every time it is laid, an important contract with divine constraints will be formed, and all tribes that recognize it must strictly abide by it, otherwise it will bring unpredictable consequences.
Because through this incident, she had developed a deep fear of Xu Chen.
This boy from the Ba ethnic group is not only magical, but also extremely intelligent. He never follows common sense in doing things. Instead, he has an unbridled idea. He also creates unpredictable plans for everything and arranges everything in an orderly manner.
Just like this contract, it seems that he had already thought it through before arriving at the Gonghuo Clan. Everything he does now is under his control and planning.
This magical ability to control everything is what she is most afraid of and cannot get rid of.
If she accepts this witch seal ring, the Gonghuo Clan will have to accept the leadership of the Ba Clan in the future. Even if she dies, the new witch will still inherit the witch seal and will never be able to escape the control and influence of the Ba Clan.
But whether she accepts it or not, admits it or not, this witch seal will play an increasingly important role over time and become one of the most important items in the inheritance and development of the tribe, even more important than the Great Witch Scepter.
Because in the past few days in the Ba tribe, she had had many exchanges and studies with the twin little witches, and she also understood the conflict that occurred after the death of the big witch of the Wu tribe for the big witch, which was like a landslide.
The reasons why are confusing.
But in fact, only adult witches like them truly understand that the so-called divine revelations are often extremely arbitrary, and the oracles are also highly uncertain. They can only be made according to the needs of different periods.
The explanation seems to be more conducive to the development of the tribe.
As for the true meaning of the gods, no witch can say that he can accurately guess it.
Because these revelations came so suddenly and even made no sense.
To put it bluntly, it all depends on concealment.
As for whether it is right or wrong, only God knows.
The most important thing about a witch's ability lies in the accumulated life experience passed down from generation to generation, rather than trying to figure out God's revelations. Knowledge is the witch's most powerful power.
Therefore, in front of a magical human being like Xu Chen who is super smart and possesses a lot of strange knowledge, the knowledge reserves possessed by these witches seem pale and weak, and they are basically unable to resist, let alone two little witches who are not yet underage.
They are just like silly children. If they didn't have the status of inheritors of great witchcraft, it would be completely meaningless.
The people in the tribe who choose the inheritor seem to be mysterious, but in fact, in the eyes of old people like them who have rich knowledge and experience, it is just an opportunity that happens to continue the inheritance.
Choosing one or the other does not actually have much impact. The most important thing is the successor's temperament and wisdom. He must be steady and simple, full of reverence for the gods and have a broad mind of fairness and justice, and be willing to thrive for the tribe.
Dedicate your life.
Now Xu Chen suddenly appeared in the world with a posture that transcended witches, claiming to be the witch king that had never appeared before, and gave them a golden witch seal to witches from different tribes. The meaning of this is very obvious, that is, he wants to use this
A method to create a completely independent inheritance system other than witchcraft.
This system has nothing to do with belief. Instead, it has a strong binding force that is completely different from the fair relationship between witches. It uses witch seals to control the witches of all tribes to abide by the rules set by him, and it also overrides the inheritance of witches.
superior.
In other words, Xu Chen can use the inheritance of this golden witch seal to replace any real witch inheritance. Once a witch from a tribe does not obey his command, he can deprive the power conferred by the witch seal at any time and give it to another person.
Take charge.
Especially after the effectiveness of the Golden Witch Seal has been recognized by all tribes.
The twin little witches were ignorant of world affairs and listened to everyone's advice. All tribesmen blindly believed in the wisdom and prestige of the witch and would not question any arrangements made by the witch.
Therefore, under this completely unequal wisdom and status, a power system generated by the power of witches will eventually surpass witches and exist.
This is what scares the old witch the most.
But fear was useless, because she had no ability or room to resist at the moment, and had no choice but to accept it.
This is Xu Chen's naked conspiracy.
He was not afraid at all of being seen by the old witch.
Just like when he first went to the Uzbek people, he had no intention of sharing the method of making bows, arrows and pottery with the Uzbek people for free.
This is all his testing, testing the reaction and bottom line of these tribes and witches, so as to slowly develop the next arrangements and plans.
He didn't have the confidence to test the great witch of the Wu tribe last time.
But this time he was confident when facing the great wizard of the Gonghuo Clan.
Put this temptation directly on the table, leaving her with no choice.
