According to the arrangement, the first ceremony held on Mother's Day was to promote the Grand Witch of the Gonghuo Clan to the Grand Wizard in Blue.
The whole ceremony is relatively simple. After all, they are barbaric tribes that have just escaped from the primitive state for a long time, so there is no complicated etiquette. The big witch presides over and sings a blessing song and dance, and a group of witches raise their staffs and sing and dance around the old witch.
After a few rounds and blessings, the little witch put a brand new blue cloak on the old witch with her own hands, and Xu Chen also presented the old witch with a brand new witch's scepter.
This staff is a new one modeled after the little witch's staff. The length and style are slightly different. The top of the staff is a shape that resembles a burning flame, and it is also inlaid with a red gem the size of an egg. The body of the staff is carved.
It is inlaid with various witchcraft and gold decorations, and there are also eight gems of different colors representing the eight tribes of the Gonghuo Alliance.
The whole scepter looks exquisite and luxurious, which is completely different from the original one in the old witch's hand that is as black as a fire stick and wrapped in pulp.
Seeing the old witch put on a brand-new blue embroidered cloak and holding the great witch scepter with colorful lights in her hands, the river beach was filled with joy. The sound of witches resounded through the sky, especially the Gonghuo tribe. Many people cheered.
People hugged each other and cried with joy.
The old witch was trembling with excitement. She looked at the brand-new cloak and carefully fumbled with the brand-new scepter that was heavy and emitting colorful light. She couldn't help but burst into tears. Her skinny and shriveled face showed a look that she had never seen before. She looked rickety and old.
His body gradually became taller and straighter.
Except for the little witch, the other group of witches had different thoughts at the moment. Although their faces were calm, their eyes were all focused on the old witch, showing a faint look of envy and jealousy.
In particular, the great shaman of the Yugong clan clenched his scepter tightly and his eyes were bright, obviously very unwilling, but this emotion quickly subsided.
Because she knew that even if the dying great witch of the Gonghuo tribe was upgraded to the great witch in blue, he might not be able to live long.
From now on, among all the witches in the entire Grand Alliance, I will be the eldest. In a few years, as long as I can lead the development of the Yu Gong Clan, I will definitely be the first to be promoted to the Grand Wizard in Blue.
As for other tribes...
The great wizard of the Yu Gong clan glanced at the group of companions around him and found that there was no one who could fight.
Either they are too young, such as the two little witches of the Five Ghosts and the Wu tribe, or they are too ignorant, such as the newly joined witch of the Pi tribe, and the only one who is comparable to her is the great witch of the Qiong tribe, but she is not an ally, and
As a foreigner, it is impossible to give him the identity of the great witch in blue. Even the witch dress she is wearing is just a gift from His Majesty the Witch King to take care of her emotions. It does not mean that he recognizes her as the great witch in white from the Alliance Tribe.
identity of.
After thinking about it, a relaxed smile slowly appeared on the face of the great wizard of the Yugong clan.
The next arrangement has nothing to do with Xu Chen.
The little witch led a group of witches, heads of tribes and hundreds of young men and women participating in the marriage up the mountain to hold a marriage ceremony at the Temple of the Mother.
Xu Chen did not go, but went to the river beach to shoot archery and ride horses with a group of hunters. However, Gu Heju went to attend the marriage ceremony, and a group of Ba men gathered together to discuss, and they would definitely have their butts swollen later.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't try to stop it.
This is one of the oldest wedding customs. It is just to make the wedding more lively. Generally, it will not go too far, but occasionally there will still be a few guys with black assholes who will strike hard, but that's normal
It is aimed at men who marry foreigners, so that they can endure some hardships and calm down their tempers. Breeds like Gu Heju who marry within the same tribe usually only have a symbolic excitement, and given the status of the two couples in the Ba tribe,
, no one will play too much.
The marriage ceremony on the mountain lasted for nearly two hours. The most lively and carnival activity came after coming down the mountain. All the tribes gathered together to welcome their new tribe members and at the same time started a unique annual spanking contest.
The crackling sounds and cries of ghosts and wolves could be heard everywhere on the entire river beach, with laughter and laughter rising and falling, and the din was overwhelming.
In the afternoon, the little witch led a group of witches and the chiefs of all tribes in a horse-drawn carriage to worship at the Eye of God Altar at the mouth of the valley.
This was a brand new sacrificial activity that I had no experience with before, so Xu Chen brought dozens of cavalry to escort and help guide along the way.
The altar on the top of the mountain has already been decorated, and there are more than a dozen flags of various colors stuck on the surrounding stone walls, whirring and fluttering in the gentle spring breeze.
Dozens of heavily armed hunters stood around the altar, and then a group of witches sang and danced around the altar and held a blessing ceremony before following Xu Chen onto the altar.
The altar is facing the north of the Mother Temple on the mountainside, and there is a long rough stone table.
Xu Chen asked the eight girls in white who came with him to stand around the altar, holding pottery bowls in their hands filled with various dry-cured bacon and wheat, beans and grains.
In addition, he took the little witch and the old witch from the Gonghuo Tribe together and put a fish, a duck and a rabbit that they had brought with them into a pottery plate and placed them on the stone table with great respect.
After everything was arranged, he led everyone to kneel on the ground and began to bow to the ground in the direction of the temple of the late mother.
It doesn't matter whether it's awesome or not, the most important thing is that the atmosphere must be in place and the momentum must be sufficient.
What originally seemed like a very simple sacrificial activity, under Xu Chen's preparation and arrangement, every step seemed to be full of seriousness, whether it was the wind, dragon, thunder, Heng and other tribal officer hunters around the altar.
, the witches and clan leaders who were personally involved were all infected by this solemn and solemn atmosphere, and each one of them held their breath in a state of nervousness and excitement.
Xu Chen wanted to use a sense of ritual that he had never experienced before to make this artificially created sacrificial activity of the Eye of the Gods more grand.
Therefore, every step of this sacrificial activity is different from any other witchcraft ceremony. It is meticulous and not messy at all, making everyone feel a kind of awe and solemnity from the bottom of their hearts.
Moreover, this sacrificial activity does not involve ordinary tribesmen, which can also enhance the mystery of this sacrificial activity, thereby enhancing the privileged status of the shamans and clan chiefs among the various tribes.
Only by forming classes can we rule better, otherwise effective ruling power cannot be formed.
As life becomes more and more prosperous, the survival model of primitive communism will inevitably hinder the development of productive forces and will also greatly hinder the progress of social civilization.
The use of the gods and sacrificial activities created for these creatures can greatly condense the self-identity of the shaman group and the tribal leaders of each tribe, allowing them to understand their identity and status, so that they can better manage and lead the tribe.
development of.
…
After coming down from the God's Eye Altar, all the sacrificial activities arranged for the Mother's Day have ended, and the next time is the time for relaxed and lively communication and trading.
As the highest-ranking witch, the little witch leads a group of witches and clan leaders to continue studying the Witch King's dictionary and exchange various experiences and methods for managing the tribe's production and life.
The most exchanged content this year is about two contents.
One is about the production of various novel delicacies such as stone grinding and pastry tofu.
The other is about the cultivation and management of fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Basically, all the tribes who came here have observed the use of stone mills many times in the past two or three days, and are almost proficient in the operation. Almost all tribes have rotated people to learn how to use stone mills. Many of them have mastered the general skills and will have them in the future.
Stone grinding is basically easy to operate.
Making pasta and soy products is a little more complicated, but this is food. You don’t need to learn many things. You only need to know roughly how to make them. When you go back, you can freely use them according to the conditions of your own tribe. Anyway, you have the flour and the soy milk, how to make it
They are much more delicious than the simple smashing and grinding before.
Therefore, after the great witch led a group of witches and tribal leaders to visit the Ba vegetable garden, he saw that the Ba vegetable garden was well organized, with rows of neatly transplanted wild vegetables, and the thorn vines on the melon racks were full of flowers and vine leaves.
Everyone was amazed by the fresh and tender melons hanging all over the place. The little witch also took the opportunity to start telling these witches and clan leaders some methods of vegetable garden management.
Although there are currently no formally cultivated varieties of vegetables, fruits, and fruits, there are only a few types that are often collected and eaten.
In spring, most of them are common fresh vegetables, in summer, they mainly have several kinds of melons, and in autumn, they mainly have wild fruits and roots.
Most of the wild vegetables can only be eaten in the spring, but become old and bitter in the summer. Only the fruits last longer, but because wild fruits bear less fruit, the yield is not high.
For example, the most common thorn melon is available in almost all tribes and tastes very fresh and sweet. However, this thing is covered in thorns and has a very low yield. A large vine that occupies dozens or even hundreds of square meters will take a long time to mature.
The melons were dragged for several months, and they were blooming and bearing fruit from March to June and July. In the end, they could only bear seven or eight or at most a dozen melons. Therefore, even though they were delicious, the savages of various tribes could not bear fruit.
I don't take special care of them. I go there every ten and a half months every year during the ripening season to look for them. I'm happy to find them, but it doesn't matter if I can't find them.
The establishment of special vegetable gardens for growing vegetables has only slowly begun in the past two years among the Ba tribe and the Gonghuo tribe alliance. Even in the Gonghuo tribe, there are several tribes that do not specialize in planting at all, and still use the primitive harvesting method of growing vegetables naturally.
But I didn’t expect that the Ba people would now grow vegetables in a variety of ways.
The vegetables are just neatly planted, they just look slightly larger than the wild ones.
But the changes in Cicgua are jaw-dropping.
This melon stand is covered with melons and looks like a green wall of thorn vines. After a rough inventory, you can find seven or eight melons, and they are still blooming in large numbers. If it comes to the peak growth period of May and June, you can pick ten melons every day.
Multiple melons.
Although melons and vegetables are not the staple food of various tribes at the moment, the tender and delicious taste of thorn melons is rare among wild vegetables. If more can be planted, it can also greatly improve the variety of food, and even save money in times of food shortage.
.
So as the news of the changes in the Ba vegetable garden spread, tribesmen from all tribes came to the vegetable garden in an endless stream to watch, almost trampling the vegetable garden that the little witch had worked so hard to cultivate and transplant.
Finally, under the complaints of Ye He and several girls from the Ba tribe, Xu Chen had to step in to stop this popular check-in behavior, and asked the clan leaders of each tribe to restrain their respective tribesmen and arrange for two or three mature and steady women to study in the vegetable garden.
But because so many tribes came, even if two or three people from each tribe visited and studied, there were still hundreds of people in the end. After a long time, a green and neatly planted small vegetable garden was still trampled beyond recognition. Even the melon stand just
The few thorny melons that started to grow up were snatched away by someone who didn't know who they were.
