A simply built mourning hall, with the old witch's coffin placed in it.
The people of all tribes followed their clan leaders to the mourning hall, walked in and out of the old witch's coffin, and paid homage to her remains. A group of witches holding scepters sang and danced around the coffin in the mourning hall, singing ancient witchcraft songs.
The whole scene looked solemn and solemn, and although the atmosphere was solemn, it was also filled with a strange lively atmosphere.
This is a brand new kind of funeral. All the tribes have never experienced this kind of ceremony, so they all feel it is very novel.
Although most people followed the crowd in front with confused faces, looked around and then came out with confused faces, but so many people attending the funeral did make the men and women of the Gonghuo tribe feel a sense of
I felt inexplicably happy and excited, and also full of gratitude to Xu Chen.
Although their great witch passed away, His Majesty the Witch King personally presided over it, several great witches participated in the sacrifice, and thousands of people came to pay their respects and participate in the funeral ceremony. This was also a great honor for the old witch in her life. No witch has ever had this honor after his death.
Just say that the great witch of the Uzbek tribe passed away a few years ago. It is said that the Uzbek tribe was in chaos at that time, and they buried him secretly without even daring to notify other alliance tribes.
As for the great witch of the Five Ghost Clan who passed away two years ago, his death was even more lonely and desolate. Even their compatriots who moved to Gonghuo Basin were not notified, and the new witch was directly sent over, and the inheritance ceremony had to wait until a few months later.
It was only completed when I went to the Ba tribe on Mother's Day.
In comparison, after the death of his great witch this time, all the arrangements made the Gonghuo Clan feel ashamed.
Moreover, before the great witch passed away, he also received the title of great witch in blue, which was unmatched by other tribes.
Therefore, this funeral not only made all the tribes who came feel novel, but also made the Gonghuo tribe feel happy. It also made the people of the Wu tribe and the Five Ghost tribe feel a little sour, and even made the great shaman of the Yugong tribe feel excited.
He secretly vowed to become a great witch in blue as soon as possible, and when he died, he would have such a glorious funeral.
Because although this funeral seemed sad, it actually made the Gonghuo tribe famous. Even decades later, everyone will still remember the grand occasion of this funeral.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the viewing of the remains ended.
Xu Chen ordered the Gonghuo Clan to place the prepared pottery bowls, cups and other personal belongings used by the old witch in the coffin. Finally, he personally placed the dark ancient scepter that the Gonghuo Clan had inherited for who knows how long.
He also put it in and placed it on the old witch. Then he had the lid of the coffin closed, and finally covered it with a clan flag of the Fire Clan.
The next step was to find wooden poles and ropes to tie it up. After everything was ready, Xu Chen ordered all the tribes to blow the horns at the same time, and then personally directed a group of young and strong men selected from all Gonghuo tribes to carry the coffin up the mountain.
A long funeral procession went up the mountain amidst the sound of trumpets.
A group of witches, each holding a staff, followed the procession carrying the coffin.
After that, there are the people from the Gonghuo tribe and affiliated tribes.
Finally, there are the men, women and children from various tribes who came to participate in the witchcraft conference.
More than two thousand people crowded the road up the mountain.
The people carrying the coffin in front had reached the mountainside, and finally many people fell down the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, hunters from the Gonghuo tribe lined up to greet him.
Although there was no suona, no paper money, and no crowd crying all the way, the whole scene seemed chaotic and crowded, and even seemed a bit lively and noisy, but the atmosphere was still very solemn, making everyone who participated feel excited and nervous.
Half an hour later, the coffin went up the mountain to the cave.
In the open space in front of the cave, a burial pit has been dug, and a simple tomb has been built with clay bricks inside.
Under Xu Chen's guidance, a group of people placed the coffin into the tomb. Xu Chen picked up a hoe and started filling the tomb with soil himself.
A large group of clan elders and leaders came forward to help, some with copper hoes and wooden hoes, and some with their hands. The men, women, and children of the Gonghuo tribe who were watching were all sad. Some couldn't help but lie on the ground and prostrate themselves in front of the old man who was about to be buried.
The witch's coffin cries loudly.
Infected by the crying, the scene suddenly burst into tears.
Even Xu Chen felt his nose was sore, and a group of witches had red eyes. They raised their staffs and circled around the tomb while chanting ancient sacrificial songs. The atmosphere at the scene became even more sad.
An hour later, the funeral ended.
Xu Chen returned to the foot of the mountain to rest for half an hour, and gathered a group of witches to hold a simple and lively new witch succession ceremony for the Gonghuo tribe on the river beach. The little witch was given a new white witch dress and the Witch King's dictionary, allowing her to
Officially took charge of the great witch scepter and witch ring of the Gonghuo Clan.
At this point, the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance ushered in their new witch era.
Watching the little witch put on a brand-new embroidered dress and white cloak, and excitedly and nervously raised the scepter and the Witch King's dictionary in her hands, the entire river beach burst into cheers, and the dense crowd squatted down and shouted witchcraft.
The old and the new replace each other, and everything is natural.
The end of an old era inevitably marks the beginning of a new era.
Xu Chen looked at the little witch who was surrounded by the Gonghuo tribe, and then looked at the twin little witches around him, the little witches from the Five Ghost tribe, the young witches from the Pi tribe, and the young witches from the Yu Gong tribe who were only around thirty years old and in their prime.
Witch, she felt both lost and relaxed.
Being young means lacking experience and being unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
But being young also means being receptive, being able to accept more new knowledge and new ideas, making it easier to cultivate a new generation of ideal, moral and sentimental witches in the new era, keeping up with the pace of his development, and not being able to
Bound by too many ancient inheritances.
The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs.
Human beings were born in this wilderness and struggled to survive. They did not rely on heaven or earth, but only on themselves. They continued to work hard, overcome obstacles, and move forward bravely.
These witches, large and small, in front of him are the core and cornerstone of his future hegemony.
As long as you control them, everything will be settled.
As he expected, this witchcraft convention did not cause much turmoil due to the death of the great witch Gonghuo. Instead, a grand funeral and the succession of the new witch made the entire witchcraft convention even more exciting.
Get lively.
After the two ceremonies in the morning, in the afternoon, the newly succeeded little witch of the Gonghuo tribe joined the grand witch discussion activities, and began to follow the little witch and others to learn how to manage the tribe, communicate and learn, and participate in and host a grand hunting competition.
When he saw more than thirty tribes from the five major tribes, large and small, scrambling to draw rafts and even ride horses directly across the river amidst the sounds of horns and drums, and howling swarms rushed to the other side of the Jicang River to kick off the hunting competition, Xu
A cheerful smile appeared on Chen's face, and on the river beach, more than two thousand men, women, and children also cheered and cheered for all participating tribes.
After the hunting competition started, Xu Chen did not stay on the shore to watch. Because there were so many weeds on the opposite side, it was difficult to see clearly the process of the hunting competition. So he led a group of witches to inspect the arrangements for other entertainment competitions.
The old witch of the Gonghuo Tribe has always been in charge of these matters, and he has never had any interference from the beginning to the end.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I found that everything was arranged in place and basically nothing needed to be adjusted. From this, it can be seen that the old witch is indeed very conscientious and did a very good job strictly following his instructions.
Therefore, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
The death of the old witch is indeed a huge loss to the Gonghuo Clan and even the entire Ba Clan Alliance.
Without the old witch in charge of the Gonghuo Clan, many things will not be done so smoothly in the future.
But in all things, there is always a process of alternation between the old and the new. Although this alternation occurs somewhat suddenly, it will not affect his future arrangements too much.
Moreover, for the future development of the Gonghuo Tribe, he needed to start building the royal city as soon as possible and move the focus of his work forward to the Gonghuo Basin.
But at the moment, he has not yet decided where the royal city will be built, and he is still hesitant about its scale.
In addition, he has not fully thought about how the royal city will be built.
In ancient China, the royal cities were closed cities, but that was a style slowly formed after thousands of years of war and integration after humans reached the stage of patriarchal clans. The cities were not only used to defend against wild beasts, but also to defend against wild beasts.
A powerful enemy.
But right now, BAM has no enemies.
Moreover, the Ba League has become extremely powerful. There are no opponents for hundreds of miles. They are all allied ethnic groups and tribes.
Therefore, Xu Chen felt that there was no point in wasting people and money to build a large-scale wall.
But no matter which plan, he has already done some graphic planning.
Although his knowledge and IQ could overwhelm all the savages at the moment, but as the saying goes, one person is short-sighted and everyone is wise, so as a primitive human leader, he decided to discuss the plan of the royal city with a group of witches and clan leaders before making a decision.
So after inspecting the arrangements for the entertainment competitions, Xu Chen summoned the witches and the clan leaders of all tribes and family leaders on the river beach, and asked Ju Ju to bring out a stack of plans for the royal city that he had designed, as well as some palaces, temples, schools, hospitals, and
We began to hold meetings to discuss the architectural design drawings of various workshops.
Although Xu Chen had a long-standing plan to move to Gonghuo Basin and build a royal city. He had brought some hunters nearby to observe the location of the royal city, but no one knew what he wanted to do. Even the Ba people were not sure.
There was no knowledge of the royal city construction plan.
Therefore, when Xu Chen said that he was planning to move to the Gonghuo Basin and was looking for a place to build a large number of palaces, temples and other houses here, not only the mother, the little witch and others were surprised and lost, but other tribes were also shocked.
