It's not far from the Yu Gong Clan to the Gonghuo Clan. The two rivers above and below together, the waterway is only fifty or sixty miles, but because it takes half a day to go up the Jicang River, it takes at least a day to go there.
half time.
In other words, the great shaman of the Gonghuo Clan will not be able to arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
During the waiting period, Xu Chen was also a little bored. Apart from continuing to discuss with the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and visiting various rock paintings in the cave, he also asked a group of hunters to teach the Yu Gong clan how to twist ropes, weave baskets and make straw sandals.
Seeing that these foreigners not only did not kill themselves, but also enthusiastically taught this experience and technique that they had never seen before, the Yugong clan members were all surprised and happy. While studying carefully, they felt all kinds of hatred for Xu Chen and others in their hearts.
Emotions are also fading quickly.
Although Xu Chen led his men to kill and wound many people, they began to blame the Maotun tribe in their hearts for this attack.
Many of them still didn't know that Xu Chen came to expand the territory on his own initiative, and they just thought it was a foreign enemy brought by the Maotun tribe.
However, these foreign enemies are much better than the Maotun tribesmen who eat inside and outside in terms of their image, temperament and almost Qiu's discipline.
Even the Great Witch excitedly expressed his immense gratitude to their young leader, who was called His Majesty the Witch King, and personally stayed with him to listen to his guidance and teachings.
Amidst the harmonious exchanges, the day passed by. In the afternoon of the next day, I heard a few horns ringing outside the valley, and soon I was surrounded by a group of Gonghuo hunters who were hunting and guarding outside.
A group of strong hunters who went back to invite the old witch carried a small cane sedan and rushed into the valley like a gust of wind.
Xu Chen led a large group of hunters including Feng Helei, as well as the great shaman of the Yugong clan and a group of clan leaders to greet him at the entrance of the cave.
When he saw an old shaman wearing an embroidered dress and cloak, holding a dark shaman's scepter being helped down from the rattan sedan, the shaman of the Yugong clan instantly felt the urge to kneel down and worship.
Ever since she knew that Xu Chen had arranged for someone to go back and invite their great witch, she was both expecting and nervous. She also had countless speculations about the great witch of the Gonghuo tribe, but she didn't expect that what appeared in front of her would be such a majestic and...
When he was an old man with a mysterious temperament, he suddenly became very nervous and even humble.
The leather and rattan armor worn by Xu Chen and others was just that. Although it was very strange, after getting familiar with it for two days, I gradually became less surprised. However, the clothes on the old witch that were specially customized for witches were not only luxurious.
It is exquisite and has a noble temperament, and the hood covering the head is full of a mysterious atmosphere.
Coupled with the old witch's old age and the aura of calmness that has been cultivated through long-term meditation.
Then the old witch made a grand appearance and instantly shocked the whole scene.
"Wuga!"
The Gonghuo Tribe, the Lei Tribe and the Ba Tribe hunters who came with Xu Chen all squatted down respectfully to express their respect and awe.
"Wuga!"
After witnessing the powerful fighting power of Xu Chen and others who easily conquered the Yugong clan, a group of savages from the Maotun clan had already moved to the other side of the river, and then they all squatted on the ground, with little stars everywhere in their eyes.
The opponent's great witch is stronger than his own in terms of age, aura and temperament, and his choice is extremely wise.
Driven by this atmosphere, a large number of men, women, and children from the Yu Gong clan also squatted down in fear.
Although one's own great witch is also there, the opponent's great witch is more powerful and must have more powerful divine power. Respecting witches means respecting the gods that witches believe in. If they are not respectful, it may bring disaster to the tribe.
But after someone started to speak, the scene got out of control. In the end, all the Yu Gong clan members squatted down, leaving only Xu Chen and the Yu Gong clan's great shaman who felt their heartbeats speeding up.
Just when the great witch of the Yugong clan didn't know what to do, and was surprised why Xu Chen didn't knelt down to greet him, the old witch quickly took a few steps forward with a cane and squatted in front of Xu Chen. She lowered her head and spoke with a respectful gesture.
: "Witch Gonghuo pays homage to His Majesty the Witch King!"
The mind of the great wizard of the Yugong clan went blank for an instant.
There was extreme fear and disbelief on his face.
She really couldn't figure out why a great witch, as the spokesperson of the gods, would give such a gift to an ordinary boy.
Except for worshiping gods in some sacrificial activities, witches are unwilling to surrender to anyone, especially ordinary people.
Even if the other party is a very powerful wizard, the two are completely equal in terms of status, and there is no possibility of bowing and surrendering to anyone.
In fact, the old witch is still in panic.
She knows best how powerful Xu Chen is.
From the first time he stole a tower and watched him calmly command and kill an adult dragon, to being kidnapped to the Ba tribe to sign a seemingly humiliating war indemnity contract, to witnessing the appearance of the First Mother Goddess in the Ba tribe on the Mother's Day at the beginning of spring,
Xu Chen seemed taller and taller in her mind.
Although she did not go to the witchcraft meeting last month, according to the returning clan leader and everyone who attended the meeting, the Ba people not only built a temple for their late mother, but also had the eyes of the gods appear, and even captured them all at once during the hunting meeting.
There were more than forty wild horses, and the Gonghuo tribe divided several of them among themselves. In addition, all the Gonghuo Alliance tribes who participated in the roundup received rewards and wealth in exchange for wild horses.
Although she did not see the changes at the Ba tribe and the Wu Zhu Conference with her own eyes, the tamed wild horses brought back by the tribe greatly facilitated the tribe's travel and the transmission of news.
The day before yesterday, when Mo summoned the hunters of the Thunder Tribe and the Gonghuo Tribe to come to help attack the Yugong Tribe, she was still thinking about how Xu Chen would deal with the opponent's great witch this time, and whether Xu Chen would repeat the same tricks he did to her after conquering the Gonghuo Tribe.
, forcibly changed the inheritance of the great witch, and conducted a grand inheritance ceremony in order to include the Yu Gong Alliance.
At that time, she was still a little gloating about her misfortune, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was no longer a lonely and shameful inheritor of the great witchcraft, and finally had a companion who sympathized with the same illness.
But she didn't expect that just one day later, a hunter from the Gonghuo Clan ran back to tell her that the Yu Gong Clan had been dealt with, and His Majesty the Witch King asked her to go there.
So she crossed the wide river with anxiety and awe, and met the neighboring tribes that had been neighboring here for countless years but had never met before. She met their great witch, and also met His Majesty the Witch King who conquered this tribe in an instant.
Although this was a completely unfamiliar tribe, in fact, from the moment she stepped off the raft and stepped onto the river beach, she suddenly understood that there was no difference at all between this side of the river and the other side of the river.
After seeing the Yu Gong clan and their great witch, the old witch instantly believed that there was almost no difference between the Yu Gong clan and the Gonghuo clan.
From the men, women, and children of the Yu Gong clan, she seemed to see the Gonghuo clan from a year ago.
Living in a cave, sleeping in a grass hut, wearing tattered furs, eating hard, dry and cold food, his unkempt appearance is no different from that of the herd.
But now, all this is undergoing earth-shaking changes. The people of the tribe have begun to learn from and move closer to the Ba tribe in terms of food, clothing and housing. The various advanced experiences taught by the Ba tribe have made the Gonghuo Alliance flourish. Just twisting ropes and making baskets and knots
Using fishing nets and other methods can exponentially increase work efficiency and obtain food.
In addition, Xu Chen imparted the knowledge of building houses and farming without reservation, allowing her to see a glimmer of hope for the vigorous development of human civilization.
As she came into contact with and understood Xu Chen more and more, the old witch's awe for Xu Chen became deeper and deeper.
Surrendering to Xu Chen and getting Xu Chen's approval is the only right choice she thinks.
"Wizard, wake up!"
Xu Chen reached out and touched the old witch's head. After she got up, he introduced her to the great witch of the Yu Gong clan.
The meeting between witches was exactly what Xu Chen imagined, representing another level of communication, because he was delighted to discover that two witches who did not understand each other could actually have a conversation by singing witchcraft songs.
Under the awe-filled crowd of hundreds of people, the two witches held up the scepters in their hands and sang strange syllables in ups and downs one by one. Sometimes they would jump back and forth a few times like dancing masters, in harmony with the ancient and complex music.
Actions such as clapping hands and legs look full of mystery and drama.
Xu Chen's face twitched when he saw it.
This scene was so familiar to him that he couldn't help but think of those old ladies quarreling in the countryside.
Not only the movements are similar, but the sounds are also similar.
You come and I go as if there has been a tacit understanding of training, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, circling around, clapping my hands and stamping my feet, just like pointing fingers and scolding Sophora japonica.
"Your house is relatively small."
"Your family has no food to eat today."
"You're going to have bad luck today."
"You're going to break your leg when you go out."
…
Well, the above is what Xu Chen imagined while watching the quarrel between two dancing witches. In fact, this is not the case at all.
After the two witches seemed to be singing and dancing more intensely, it was obvious that the old witch was stronger. The witchcraft songs she sang became smoother and smoother, and her dancing movements were not messy at all. However, the middle-aged witch on the other side started to stumble a little.
Baba could hardly keep up, and his movements became increasingly hectic.
The hunters from the Gonghuo Tribe and the Ba Tribe and the Lei Tribe who were watching all started cheering.
The faces of the Yu Gong clan became very ugly.
It seems that my own great witch is indeed not as good as this older and mysterious old witch, and I will lose this game.
Sure enough, after less than a minute, the great wizard of the Yugong clan stopped singing and dancing, put down his staff with a look of shame and embarrassment, and squatted down to express his resignation.
It's not that she can't sing the old witch at all. In fact, she can sing most of the old witch's songs and has learned them. However, due to her age, her energy is mainly focused on guiding the development of the tribe, and she has not deeply understood and become proficient in these songs.
Witchcraft songs and dances.
In contrast, the old witch's advantage of being older is undoubtedly reflected. She knows all kinds of congratulations very well, and her dance moves are extremely smooth. It can be seen that she has a deep inheritance and has been trained for a long time, so she has to admit defeat in advance.
