"It's not terrible to make mistakes. What's terrible is that we don't know where we went wrong, or we know we are wrong but insist on not changing it..."
On the quiet river beach, Xu Chen's voice sounded again.
"The gods are not wrong, and neither are the great wizards. Please ask yourselves, did you make a serious choice just now in accordance with the great wizard's teachings of justice and fairness? Tell me, are you serious and fair? If you all say yes, then I
He Dawu will admit that the results just now are valid!"
Xu Chen's serious and loud voice echoed in the valley.
Almost all the hunters who participated in the competition bowed their heads in shame.
"When you are complaining and accusing the results of unfairness, has anyone thought about the source of this unfairness? You are the creators of the unfair results of this competition. In fact, today's hunting competition was very successful. Everyone
Each participating team has made great efforts and gained huge rewards. Whether it is a hunted beast or a captured beast, it is the care of us by the gods. The gods treat all tribes equally, but we all have
Selfishly, in the future, more tribes will participate in our hunting competition. If we don’t have a sense of fairness and justice, how can the hunting competition continue to be held? Next year and beyond, do you still want to participate in the hunting competition and obtain the great witch?
bless?"
Xu Chen yelled.
"Think~"
Hundreds of participating hunters at the scene raised their weapons and roared almost simultaneously.
Even the companions and women following behind him shouted together.
"Just think about it. If you don't want to, then God may leave us, because God definitely doesn't want to bless a group of unfair and selfish people. As the Witch King, I feel ashamed of the results of this selection.
Tomorrow I will go up the mountain to pray to the Mother Goddess and admit my mistake!"
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"Your Majesty the Witch King, we were wrong, and we must admit our mistakes to our late Mother Goddess!"
A group of witches all bowed their heads in shame and squatted in front of Xu Chen.
"We were wrong!"
A team of hunters who participated in the competition squatted down to admit their mistake, and with it, people in the entire riverbank squatted down.
The smile on the face of a poor shaman froze, and he finally had to squat down.
It was impossible not to squat, because apart from Xu Chen, she was the only one standing in the audience.
Although she admitted that Xu Chen did have knowledge and magical abilities that surpassed all witches, she did not want to admit that Xu Chen's identity and status surpassed all witches. After all, witches have always been supreme, and there has never been a king above witches before.
, does not conform to ancient inheritance.
Xu Chen nodded with a happy smile on his face.
"Since everyone has realized their mistakes, it means that we still have a sense of fairness and justice, and the gods will continue to care about and protect us. As for the results of this hunting competition, after careful discussion, the big witch and several witches decided that we should
Re-selection, the results have now been selected, and I will announce them now. If anyone still feels that it is not fair and just, they can tell their reasons in person. If we can convince most people, then we can also adopt your suggestions. I will announce them below.
New selection results..."
"The first place is the Uzbek tribe, because they hunted ten wild sheep, one wild deer, and captured seven wild animals, large and small. They are the largest in terms of number and size!"
"Uga~"
In an instant, a burst of warm cheers erupted from the station where the Wu people were located, and all men, women, old and young jumped up excitedly.
Listening to Xu Chen telling the number of wild beasts hunted and captured by the Uzbek tribe, people from other tribes also instantly understood that with such good results, they deserved to be ranked first.
In the previous rankings, the Uzbek people barely ranked fifth.
It can be seen from this that the Wu tribe, which has lost its status as the leader of the tribe, still does not have much say despite its large number of people.
In this situation, all participating hunters and tribesmen also felt extremely aggrieved.
I remember when I peed three feet in the wind, but now my shoes get wet when the wind blows.
When the Great Witch was here, the Uzbek tribe was so glorious and glorious. In almost every hunting competition, the Uzbek tribe won first place, and every year warriors were born in the Uzbek tribe.
Unfortunately, time has changed. Since the death of the big witch and the new witch took over the Ba clan, the Uzu's glory has faded. It has been three years since the Uzu won the first place. This year, they did not even make it into the top three.
It's not that you don't have enough strength, it's that you don't have enough status.
No matter how uncomfortable this kind of frustration is, they can only endure it.
Because reality is stronger than people, although the Wu tribe currently has witches in charge, the witches have not yet grown up. Facing the Ba tribe with a big witch in charge, the Gonghuo tribe with an old witch in charge, and the Yugong tribe with a middle-aged witch in charge,
The Uzbek people indeed have no competitive advantage at the moment.
What's more, in the Ba Clan Alliance, they have lost the right to speak. The Cang Clan, the Ji Clan, the Hu Clan, the Muya Clan, and the Lei Clan all voted for the Ba Clan. The Wu Clan's votes this time were pitiful.
However, under the auspices of His Majesty the Witch King, a group of witches re-evaluated the results of the competition, and the Uzbek tribe suddenly climbed to the top spot. This has to be said to be a truly fair move.
"The second place, the Yu Gong clan, hunted one bison, two wild sheep, and captured five live animals, large and small..."
"Yeh~~"
As Xu Chen's second place result was announced, the Yugong clan station erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Third place, Nightfire Tribe, hunted four wild sheep, one wild deer, two badgers, and captured eight live animals, large and small..."
"Wow?!"
"Are we third?"
"Quack, quack, quack..."
The Yehuo Clan, which had no hope of even making it into the top five, was stunned by this sudden surprise. After a period of incomparable silence, they suddenly burst into cheers. Men, women, old and young all hugged each other and cheered. Even their clan leader
Everyone nearby had tears in their eyes.
After the top three results were announced, and after the three winning tribes cheered for a while, the drummers beat the drums to silence the audience again.
Xu Chen raised the bark trumpet in his hand.
"The three winning teams are the results of a comprehensive evaluation by the big witch and several witches based on the competition results and the selection results of all participating hunters. I think it is relatively fair and just. If you think there is any dissatisfaction or unfairness,
, you can raise it on the spot and tell the reasons, and we will seriously adopt it and make another assessment..."
Xu Chen's voice echoed on the river beach, but a full minute passed. As the three tribes waited nervously and anxiously, no one from the tribe stood up to object.
"In this case, I declare in the name of the Witch King that this hunting competition has been successfully concluded. It is now dismissed to start slaughtering and processing the beasts, and is ready to start our grand bonfire dinner. Later, the great witch will award prizes to the winning team.
Bless the three brave men."
"Wuga~~~"
The scene was filled with joy for a moment, and all the tribes cheered and rushed towards the large and small hunting beasts placed on the ground. The participating hunters took out the daggers or various knives from their waists and began to skin and disembowel them, slaughtering these with their own hands.
beast.
The sun is about to set at this time, and the people who have been busy waiting for the whole day are already hungry, just waiting for this grand meat feast.
The group of witches all took a long breath at this time, and looked at Xu Chen who turned around with a smile on his face, and the awe on his face became even deeper.
Everyone understood that if Xu Chen had not asked them to re-evaluate the results of this competition, I am afraid that this grand and lively event would have become full of contradictions because of this incident.
At present, it seems that the hidden crisis has been completely resolved.
All the tribes agreed with this result, at least the jubilant and lively atmosphere at the scene showed this.
Soon after, a grand award-giving and blessing event by a witch began on the river beach, followed by a lively bonfire dinner and celebratory performances of men, women, old and young singing and dancing.
Needless to say, it’s a night of joy.
Early the next morning, Xu Chen led a group of witches up the mountain to worship at the temple of his late mother. While praying for the various tribes, he also prayed to the gods to forgive himself and everyone else for their selfishness, and expressed regret for the unfair selection results of yesterday's hunting competition.
.
Although the confession ceremony was small, only a few witches participated.
But this ceremony was very serious and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Confession to the gods has never been done before.
Because all primitive people and great shamans use various rituals to pray to the gods they worshiped from ancient times, praying for the gods to care about and protect the development of their tribes.
If you do something right, the gods will naturally bless you; if you do something wrong, the gods will naturally punish you.
But even though it was the first time for them to pray to the temple to ask the gods to forgive their mistakes, everyone was filled with shame and piety.
As Xu Chen said, it is not terrible to do something wrong. What is terrible is knowing that you are wrong but not repenting.
As great witches, they all bear unshirkable responsibility for the unfair result of this competition.
Therefore, they not only need to correct this mistake, but also need to be forgiven by the gods and continue to care for and protect their tribe.
Instead of stimulating conflicts between tribes and causing disdain and dissatisfaction among the gods because of their greed for rewards and vanity in a hunting competition.
After admitting his mistake in the temple with a group of witches, Xu Chen went down the mountain and led Gu Heju on horseback straight to the river.
A group of officers including Long, Lei, Feng, and Heng had already set off with hunters from various tribes. Some went downstream to prepare rafts to cross the river, while others crossed the river at the mouth of the small river.
When Xu Chen rushed to the dock, most of the hunters had successfully crossed the river, and some rafts were crossing the river. More than ten horses of the Ba people were also being driven to swim to the other side. The scene was lively and joyful, but busy and not chaotic.
.
Xu Chen observed at the pier for a while, exchanged a few words with Feng Mo and others, and then rode downstream. Twenty miles away, Long Ye was also crossing the river with hundreds of hunters, but at a slightly slower speed, and he could not count them.
Ten people and a large number of rafts are being organized.
"What's the movement of the wild horses on the other side?"
Xu Chen dismounted at the riverbank and communicated with several officers including Long and Heng who came up to him.
"The horses are still there and haven't gone far!" Long replied with excitement on his face.
"That's good. When I came, the wind had already crossed the river. Speed up here. Also, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to safety!"
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon!"
Feng and Heng waited for a group of burly officers to pat their chests and promise, and then someone shouted loudly to urge the raft to cross the river as quickly as possible.
