Early the next morning, as the sun was just setting, hundreds of Ba people, men, women, old and young, came straight to the entrance of the valley.
After Xu Chen returned home last night, he announced that he had found the Eye of the God, and the tense and frightened atmosphere that had suppressed the tribe for half a month instantly turned into joy.
The little witch was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. She got up at dawn, washed herself, dressed herself up neatly and beautifully, and then pulled Xu Chen out of the warm quilt.
For her, this was the first time she felt the guidance of the gods since she became a witch. She felt that this was the beginning of her promotion to become a real witch.
Only witches who can understand the revelations of the gods and understand the oracles can be considered true witches.
She believed what Xu Chen said.
Because the sisters unanimously believe that Xu Chen is the real great witch, even more powerful than the great witch, and they will never be able to catch up with Xu Chen.
And what happened this time also proved that they were indeed right. During the past half month, she had been searching for the source of the Eye of God all the time, and finally Xu Chen helped find it.
She was very excited, finally being able to contact the gods with her own feelings for the first time.
This is one step closer to becoming a veritable great witch, and he will be able to give Xu Chen more help in the future.
A huge crowd surrounded the little witch and Xu Chen, and they rode on horseback to the entrance of the valley.
At this time, the sun is rising, dispersing the mist in the valley.
There is still a faint green mist floating in the mountains and forests.
Arriving at the spot where he saw the eye yesterday, Xu Chen rode on horseback and pointed at the mountainside with his riding crop. Zhuan Dou smiled and said to the little witch riding the pony: "Look there, is there an eye?"
The little witch and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction where Xu Chen's riding whip was pointing. After a while, some people started to scream, and it turned into an extremely panic. Some people even lay down in the cold gravel of the beach, and began to prostrate themselves to the ground.
Worship.
Xu Chen was right. There is indeed a huge eye hidden in the dense forest and fog on the mountainside. If you look carefully, you can even see a long eyebrow. As for the eye, it is half hidden in the fog of the mountain forest.
I can't see very clearly.
The little witch's delicate body trembled violently, and after a long time she suddenly came to her senses. She quickly got off the horse in a panic, then knelt on the ground with her hands holding the golden scepter high, and began to sing ancient and obscure witchcraft songs.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't stop him.
After he came to see it last night, he completely understood why he had the strange feeling of being stared at by a big eye.
In fact, this eye is the long and narrow cave on the mountainside.
Normally, this cave is hidden in the dense forest and only a little bit of the mountain wall can be seen. Because of habit, no one has ever paid serious attention to it.
However, after the temple was built and a thatched roof was added to cover the entire cave, it was like an eyebrow that gave the cave some charm.
The most important thing is that after the leaves fall in late autumn, the mountain forest becomes slightly more open, and the caves that were previously invisible suddenly become clearer. It looks like a huge eye growing on the mountainside, and the temple is like an eyeball.
This magical structure was something Xu Chen had never thought of.
Although he couldn't see clearly under the cover of the morning mist in the woods, Xu Chen could clearly imagine all the structures of this big eye.
In order to confirm his idea, he led Feng and other hunters up the hillside at the entrance of the valley.
As the sun gradually rises, the morning fog on the mountainside begins to slowly dissipate.
Half an hour later, a group of people climbed to the ridge of the hillside, where they could see more clearly. Through the woods halfway up the slope, they could almost see most of the temple.
"Look, those are the eyes of gods!"
Xu Chen wiped his sweat and pointed to the location of the temple.
Feng and other hunters also saw it clearly at this time, and they were all dumbfounded.
It turns out that the eye of the god that the great witch has been looking for is actually the newly built temple.
And it looks really magical from a distance, really like a huge eye hidden on the mountainside, and it seems like you can still see your own shadow inside.
And that shadow is actually the statue of the Mother Goddess located in the center of the temple, right at the pupil position.
The so-called eye of the gods is just a coincidence.
But this is what Xu Chen understands.
The Ba people can feel relaxed and happy because Xu Chen has solved the secret that has made them nervous for a long time.
But in the eyes of the little witch, Xu Chen's discovery only made her become more awe-inspiring and pious. She lay down on the beach near the mouth of the valley and kowtowed to the temple on the mountainside over and over again.
Because in her opinion, this is definitely not a coincidence.
For witches, there is no such thing as coincidence in this world.
The witch's mission is to judge the gods' intentions from various fleeting chance events, and then perform predictions and analyzes based on the various ancient inheritances of the great witches, and finally obtain the gods' instructions to guide the development of the tribe or alliance.
From the moment the temple was completed, the look she suddenly felt being watched by the gods was definitely not a coincidence, but a metaphor for her from the gods.
The temple has been endowed with divine power. It is no longer the original cave. It is an eye with true divine power, watching itself, the Ba people, and even everything in the world.
This eye looks southeast.
It seems that there is something worthy of the gods' attention in that distant direction.
The little witch didn't know how long she knelt down until she was persuaded by Xu Chen who came down from the mountain.
"Chen Ga, southeast..."
When the little witch saw Xu Chen, she seemed to instantly understand God's revelation. Her face turned red with excitement and she pointed in the direction of the lower reaches of the river.
"What happened to Southeast?" Xu Chen was confused.
"The Witch King is in the southeast!" The little witch grabbed his arm tightly with excitement, her little hands trembling slightly.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously after a while: "You mean that if I want to become a real Witch King, I have to go further to the southeast?"
"Yes!" The little witch nodded vigorously, her excitement palpable.
This was the first time she had made an oracular judgment through divine revelation, and she felt that she could not be wrong.
Therefore, the Mother Goddess looked at the Ba people, and the eyes of the gods looked to the southeast. Because she had not found the eyes of the gods, she had been restless, thinking about what the gods' revelations were day and night.
But now, she was sure that she fully understood the content of the oracle.
Xu Chen created the Mother Goddess according to the guidance of the gods and built the temple.
Then the instructions of the gods are ultimately guiding Xu Chen in the right direction.
Xu Chen was also extremely surprised by the little witch's words.
Even if the little witch didn't say it, he also knew that the direction of his struggle was in the southeast, because only by continuing along the Wulong River to the southeast and entering a wider and gentle area could he collect more tribes and people, and finally complete the expected hegemony of King Tu.
.
Only farming can have a stable foundation, otherwise all hopes will be in vain.
The little witch is still underage, and even before he appeared, she had almost never left the Uzbek tribe.
Although she had studied with the great witch of the Uzbek tribe since she was a child, she would never have had such insight and far-sightedness, and it actually coincided with her own ideas.
In other words, the accidental discovery of the eye of the gods gave her an insight beyond her own wisdom.
This kind of knowledge can be said to be superstition caused by ignorance, but Xu Chen has to admit that the little witch's judgment will provide him with an extremely powerful excuse for his future development and mobilize the power of the six tribes and other tribes to conquer
More tribes and territories downstream provide strong legal basis.
No one can violate the oracle made by the great witch based on the instructions of the gods.
This is a power of faith that far exceeds reality.
It will greatly encourage all the savages who belong to the Great Witch Faith to support him at all costs and follow him to fulfill his great dream.
Therefore, this is really a coincidence, a great and mysterious coincidence.
Even Xu Chen himself had never thought of the ending.
…
The secret of the Eye of the Gods comes to light.
The nervous and restless mood of the Ba people soon calmed down, and was replaced by an inexplicable excitement and restlessness.
Because the great witch deduced a shocking oracle based on the revelation from the eyes of the gods.
She believed that Chen, as the Witch King, needed to develop further to the southwest.
This oracle made Muba and other women at a loss, but Feng and other hunters all had their blood boiling with excitement.
Since following Xu Chen out several times, hunting tigers and slaying dragons to conquer the powerful Gonghuo tribe, the desire for conquest hidden in their blood has been further aroused.
The changes of the Ba people this year can also be seen completely. Only war will make the Ba people become richer and stronger.
After conquering the Gonghuo tribe, the population of the Ba tribe more than doubled.
The captured group of prisoners completed several construction projects in a few months compared to previous years.
The second phase of the compound expansion includes expansion of farmland, rounding up of wild horses, irrigation ditches, construction of the Mother Temple, and even autumn harvest, etc.
All these major events were completed in less than a year from last winter to this autumn.
If the original 50 men, women, and children of the Ba ethnic group were to do it, it would not be completed in three to five years.
Nowadays, the Ba people have stored enough food and have strong military strength. They are fully capable of exploring new territories further down the river.
Conquering the Gonghuo tribe is just the beginning. There are more foreign tribes downstream waiting for them to conquer, and there are more captives and women waiting for them to rob.
Therefore, a group of army leaders such as Feng, Mo, Ju, Gao and others could not restrain their desire to rob, and reminded Xu Chen that the oracle instructions of the great witch were very important. They had made all preparations to follow the instructions of the gods and follow him.
Get rich in the southeast.
Muba and other adult women were in a very sad mood. Although they were reluctant to leave, no one stopped them. They silently began to prepare clothing, leather, armor and various supplies for the men for the long journey. Even Ye Du became much more obedient and gentle, and helped him with his own hands.
Sewing leather boots and underwear jackets, the mood of the entire tribe, forming two completely different contrasts between men and women.
Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh at the great power of faith.
If he suddenly said that he was going to fight in the lower reaches, it is estimated that not only the entire tribe would be opposed, but at least many people would still have great resistance. But if the little witch said it, no one would doubt it, let alone resist it.
Because no one will doubt the words of the great witch, let alone resist the guidance of the gods.
