The queen bee nodded, then got out of the car, carrying a black animal bone in her hand, and signaled to Chu Yan: "Let's go to the sacrificial altar with me."
Chu Yan was somewhat puzzled because he didn't know why the Queen Bee took him to the sacrificial altar. Logically speaking, the sacrificial altar was the tribe's holy place. As a first-time visitor, he shouldn't be so honored.
.
But now that the queen bee had sent out the invitation, even though Chu Yan hesitated, he quickly followed her.
When Chu Yan followed the queen bee to the high sacrificial platform, he was instantly shocked by the hedgehog-like sacrifice in front of him.
On the sacrificial platform, apart from the wooden piles and colorful cloth strips that Chu Yan saw at the beginning, what was left were countless bone fragments. Except for the skull, which was complete, the rest were fragments.
, it was struck very carefully, and almost every piece was the same size.
The bone fragments are evenly distributed on the table of the sacrificial altar, and the dozens of wooden stakes erected in the middle are like the black thorns on the white hedgehog. They look weird, but they also convey a sense of sanctity and solemnity.
While Chu Yan was staring blankly at the sacrificial altar, the queen bee was already kneeling in front of the sacrificial altar. There was a piece of stone that looked polished and very smooth, about five centimeters thick, not a regular circle.
It looks very conspicuous when placed on the altar.
Chu Yan judged that it was something similar to a Buddhist futon, an object used for kneeling and worshiping.
After the queen bee knelt on it, she raised the strange-looking animal bone in her hand high in the air, and then blurted out a series of tribal language.
Chu Yan didn't understand, so he chose to stand aside with a calm face, patiently waiting for the queen bee to finish her ceremony.
The queen bee did not let Chu Yan wait too long. She gently placed the animal bone in her hand on the sacrificial altar, then gently leaned on the ground and spoke a series of tribal language quickly. About thirty seconds later
, raised his body and slowly stood up from the altar.
During the whole process, Chu Yan didn't say a word, just observed quietly and waited patiently.
After the queen bee completed her ritual, she took off the animal bone on the sacrificial altar, held it gently in her hands, turned around and came to Chu Yan, and said softly: "Chu Yan, this is the time to enter."
The first step in the tribe, you need to be baptized on the altar."
"Be baptized?" Chu Yan knew what this sentence meant, but he immediately continued to ask: "How to be baptized?"
This question is very critical, Chu Yan must ask clearly, and the Queen Bee turned around with a smile, looked at the stone futon on the sacrificial platform, and said softly: "Kneel on it, and I will solve the next thing.
"
When Chu Yan heard this, he didn't hesitate much, so he nodded, walked directly to the stone futon, and then slowly knelt down on one knee. At this moment, the queen bee had also come to Chu Yan's side.
.
Chu Yan's ears heard the queen bee's voice, which was still in tribal language. After the tribal language ended, the queen bee gently placed the strange animal bone in her hand on Chu Yan's head, and then
A hand gently pressed on the top of Chu Yan's head, and the long tribal language was read out again in series.
Similarly, about thirty seconds later, the queen bee took back the animal bones and said softly: "That's it. Now that you have entered the tribe, you will not be harmed by anyone."
Chu Yan nodded, then stood up, looked at the queen bee beside him, and asked calmly: "Is this all right?"
"Well, let's go." The queen bee nodded, turned around and walked off the sacrificial platform first. Although Chu Yan wanted to ask something else, the queen bee's steps were a little hurried, so he had to follow her for the time being.
Back in the car, the queen bee did not start the car directly, but kept playing with the animal bone in her hand.
Chu Yan on the side was a little puzzled, and immediately asked: "Queen Bee, does this piece of animal bone have a very important meaning to you?"
The queen bee looked at the animal bone in her hand, then turned to look at Chu Yan, and said softly: "Yes, it is not only important to me personally, but also to the entire tribe."
The word "sacred object" instantly popped into Chu Yan's mind, and after Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, he softly asked, "Could it be a sacred object in the tribe?"
Chu Yan's words surprised the queen bee, and then she asked Chu Yan a question: "Do you still remember what I said about my sister stealing the sacred objects in the tribe?"
"I remember." Chu Yan nodded, and then continued: "You said that she stole the sacred objects and sold them. In doing so, she desecrated the tribe's sacred objects."
Chu Yan's words made the queen bee nod, but she changed the topic and raised the bone fragment in her hand: "This is the holy object that my sister stole. She didn't sell it, she sold other things.
Those things are not tribal things."
At this point, if Chu Yan couldn't figure out the situation, he would be in vain.
It was obvious that Sirui had stolen the sacred object and created rumors of selling it. Chu Yan did not know the reason. What he knew was that Queen Bee found Sirui, but Sirui returned the sacred object.
Given to her, the current tribe leader, the grudges or misunderstandings between the two people are based on this sacred object.
Returning the sacred object to the queen bee's hands is undoubtedly the best way to resolve the misunderstanding. This is also the main reason why the queen bee and Sirui reconciled after spending one night together.
Chu Yan figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, then nodded with a smile and said: "I understand, then, should we set off now?"
"Okay, let's set off immediately." The queen bee nodded, took out a black wooden box from one side, carefully put the bone fragments back into the box, and then placed them on the console in front of the car, and then started the car.
I slowly descended the slope in front of me and continued towards the depths of the desert where the yellow sand spreads.
This time, the car drove for about an hour and a half. It was not that the distance was long, but the speed of the car was controlled by the queen bee. When the car slowly appeared in front of an oasis, Chu Yan's eyes lit up instantly.
In Chu Yan's sight, there is an oasis that is at least hundreds of acres in size. The most dazzling one is the spring lake that occupies more than half of the oasis. The lake is covered with green grass and lush trees.
Fifty meters away, there are wooden tents connected together into a piece.
The queen bee looked at the familiar scenery in front of her and couldn't help but stop the car with a smile on her face. Then she looked at Chu Yan and said softly: "Welcome to the Zaha tribe of Shurost."
Chu Yan and Queen Bee walked into the tribe, and instantly in the night, several guards appeared on guard duty. Chu Yan was impressed by their ability to hide in the desert.
The queen bee looked at the sudden appearance of the figure, her face turned cold, and then she waved her hand to signal them to leave.
The guard turned and left, and Queen Bee took Chu Yan directly back to her largest tent. The first time she entered the tent, Queen Bee blurted out: "You will live with me tonight.
, Don’t worry, I won’t do anything worse than an animal.”
Faced with the Queen Bee's humor, Chu Yan could only laugh it off.
While entering the queen bee's tent, Chu Yan also made a quick and concise assessment of the situation in the tent.
There are actually not many decorations in the tent. Except for a wooden bed, the rest of the things are very original-looking furnishings. The chairs, tables, and even the bases with candles are all very original wooden products.
The two people walked a long way back to the tribe. The Queen Bee didn't say much, but simply took out a bottle of tequila from the wooden cabinet on the side, poured a glass for Chu Yan, and then said with a smile:
"Have a drink and you can sleep more comfortably."
Chu Yan took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. However, what surprised Chu Yan was that he usually wouldn't get drunk when he drank. However, he drank this glass of wine in less than five seconds.
Waves of dizziness rushed directly into Chu Yan's mind.
The queen bee looked at Chu Yan with a smile on her face. When Chu Yan's eyes were distracted, she lowered her head and kissed Chu Yan's head gently, and said softly: "I told you, you can sleep after drinking wine."
It’s more comfortable.”
Before Chu Yan completely fainted, the last impression he had was the queen bee's slightly playful gaze and her face so close at hand.
