Chapter 268 The baby's smile, the dance of the gods, and the decision of Dayi
Yujing was covered in cold sweat, and the totem patterns on her body were shining brightly. Of course, the more intuitive reflection was on her belly.
The light flickered, the glow of the totem, and the lines of the sun were reflected on her belly, while the girls around were at a loss. Ru Zai called Yu Tu, but at this time, Wu Pan stopped them.
"The Great Witch Doctor!"
Yuan Zai was also worried. In fact, when it came to delivering babies, although wizards were better than doctors, but now, Yuan Tu had delivered babies twice with the old wizard, so she naturally had some experience, but Yuzai did not. Although she relied on inherited memories
, but... there is a big gap between practice and theory.
If it doesn't go well, the tribe that has just recovered will be dealt a huge blow.
Emperor Yan has just left, and the first newborn in the tribe has died. If some tribes think according to the way they think, they must use divination armor to divine the gods or the heavens at this time to see what is wrong. I am afraid it is a sign of great misfortune.
.
However, in the tribal era, some people liked to worship gods, while others only worshiped ancestors. For example, Baiyue only worshiped the sky, while Dongyi believed that the sun could bring decisions. As for the Central Plains people... In comparison, the Central Plains people
It's very simple. Gods like you can come over, but you must not cause trouble, otherwise it will not be a matter of belief or not, but a matter of whether to cut down the mountain or not.
Don't talk about your lofty beliefs with me. If you are really that bullshit, please fix the situation.
This is the simple Central Plains people.
"Just right here."
In fact, some tribes are not taboo about covering up production in ancient times. After all, childbirth is a very great thing in this era. It is sacred and noble. No matter which ancient civilization it is, fertility is a kind of primitive worship.
Sacrificial.
In the earliest times, matrilineal clan society emerged for this reason.
Population means prosperity, prosperity means more food and prey, and more food and prey naturally means more population. This is a virtuous cycle.
In primitive societies, population growth is very slow. As for the reasons, of course there are many, not only natural and man-made disasters, but also sanitation and the inability of midwives to deliver babies, or premature death, premature birth, miscarriage, etc...
.
Therefore, children who can be born safely in this era are basically very strong from birth. For example, even a body like "Yuzai" is only weak because of excessive blood.
When the baby's cry resounded throughout the earth, the complete sun finally appeared over Nanqiu!
"gave birth!"
Wu Pan picked up the child and looked very happy. The old man was beaming. However, looking at Wu Pan's first movements, she thought he was going to pick up the child and face the sun high, naming him Simba.
...No, hard work.
It's really hard work.
Of course, Ruanzai would not name her like this, but the powerful vitality of the totem was revealed at this time. Ruanjing's sun totem protected her and even allowed her to have the strength to sit up by herself.
She has begun to recover.
But when this child was born, he was indeed very strong.
"Oh oh oh!"
The Akakata clan members began to dance and were extremely happy. The first child was born safely. This was truly a night of endless hope!
Children, new children, new warriors, new tribesmen!
He is the first warrior born from the Akakata clan in the new era!
Naturally, the newborn child was not good-looking, so Wu Pan wrapped him in his own linen robe, which was the only and best thing that could wrap the child. Otherwise, animal skins would be used, and the hair on them would have all kinds of stuff.
The child cannot bear that crime.
However, the soldiers looked at the children and tried to push forward, but were frightened back by the old patriarch's loud shout.
"Don't be crowded! Children are important!"
The old clan leader puffed his beard and stared, while the clansmen shrank their heads and giggled. They were so happy that there was almost congestion and pushing here.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
Yu Fou stood up at this time to help maintain order. Yu Tu was also on one side. The tribesmen suppressed their extremely excited emotions and slowly retreated from the central circle to the outside, but still stretched their heads here.
"You were born facing the first ray of the rising sun. When the sun of the old era ends, this is the last blessing given to you by Emperor Yan..."
Wu Pan was filled with emotion: "Zai, you should name him."
Although Wu Pan said this, he also looked at Gu Jing, who had already made this decision. At this time, she naturally said: "Wu Pan, please give him a name!"
"name..."
Yuzai looked to the east, and the sun had begun to rise, so the light shone down, and the child actually stopped crying after the first round of crying.
The young hand stretched out. The newly born child made active movements, which made Wu Pan startled. The old man looked at the child. The child's hand reached up to the sky with great effort. It was exactly like trying to touch the sun.
.
"His name is Xu."
Yuzai made a decision and gave the child a name——
It's "Yu Xu"!
"Xu?"
Ruan Jing seemed a little confused, so she asked, and Ruan Zai answered very seriously.
"It means the morning sun is born and shines through the earth. It is the first sunshine."
No one knows the meaning of the word "Xu" to Yuzai.
Xu is the name of the past, or the future.
Yunxu, Yunxu!
Give your past name to your newly born child. The past and the future will become indistinguishable from each other!
Just like what Emperor Yan told Yu Zai, the sun of the past has set, and the new sun is rising!
"Okay, let's call her Yu Xu! From today on, the first new warrior of the Akafang clan is born!"
The tribesmen cheered and raised the treasures in their hands, whether they were branches, clay pots, spears, or some careful instruments. In short, everyone's voices shouted loudly, gathering into a new one, shaking the world and penetrating the sky.
note!
"Xu! Xu! Xu!"
The sound was like a roaring current, like the roar of a river, and the old patriarch came over and looked at the child, full of love and affection, and also with emotion, as if he felt like he was in another world.
"We are waiting for you. We have been waiting for you for too long."
Yes, from the time Yandi Qingshi was born, the patriarch knew that this child was destined to be extraordinary. He once believed that this child was the key to the re-emergence of the Akafang clan, but now it seems that it turns out to be more like a new kind of child.
of sustenance.
"Welcome, child! This is the Akakata clan!"
The fire of sacrifice is still blazing, and the joyful dance is not over yet. The arrival and departure of the ancestors interrupts the sacrifice, but the dance that should be performed still needs to be carried out.
The tribesmen have been rejoicing all day long, and the extended sacrificial night will continue until today's evening. For this reason, the old clan chief also said with a smile that this child was the first to be born on the sacrificial night, but he was born on the second
The tribesmen who participated in the sacrificial night.
The tall fire is burning, the new sun hangs high in the sky, the spring plowing has begun, and when the glorious light of the first day gradually sets in the west, the unfinished sacrificial dance will reach its climax in the final song!
So when people dance.
Sixteen huge black shadows appeared in the sky, and they also began to accompany the steps, jumps, and movements of the Akafang clan members. The huge shadows overlapped with the shadows of the clansmen reflected in the firelight. No one saw them. These ten
The six gods clearly saw everything that happened these two nights, and during tonight's great sacrifice, they, together with Chi Fang's warriors, quietly sang and danced together!
————
At the edge of the sacrificial place, Dayi looked at everything in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly changed in his mind.
"Chi Gong."
Chisongzi turned his head.
Dayi did not look at him, but kept staring at the flames in the field, and said seriously:
"You must not say a word about what happened here or what happened yesterday to outsiders! Not even Uncle Xi or Danzhu!"
