Fire Seed
Chapter 39:Fire Seed
After the night, in the middle of the small village, a huge bonfire was lit, and all the people of the Black Stone tribe gathered around the bonfire.
All of them wear their best clothes on their bodies and decorate themselves with the best accessories.
For example, color, put on the old dress, full of hair do not know how many braids weaving, small braids are filled with long colored feathers; far away, like a feathered chicken.
As for the queer, this product is directly on the basis of bare bladder, covered with a large piece of thick bear skin, a string of necklace hanging around the neck, all with all kinds of sharp teeth.
Hundreds of people gathered in front of the fire, standing very well, in the front of a totem warriors of the hunting team, followed by ordinary warriors who were not awakened, and finally the women and children of the tribe.
I don't know why, the bulls who were standing among the women and children, were directly pulled closer to the front of the fire; standing with a bear skin, who looked like a black-eyed man.
A strong sense of ceremoniality soon made Niu Xu put away the expression of hippie smile on his face, and, like the entire members of the Black Stone tribe, became silent and serious.
In such a solemn atmosphere, the leader suddenly shouted: "Please fire."
With the fierce drinking of the chief, the women and children of the surrounding black stone tribe fell to their knees respectfully against the bonfire in the middle, and the other adult fighters began to dance slowly around the campfire; with the ancient dance steps, everyone's mouths sang a song full of cold meaning.
In Niu Xu's eyes, these movements are not so much dancing, not to say that they are all kinds of labor and hunting action sets are more appropriate; but it is not known why, so some ridiculous movements, with a cold singing, his mind seems to be flashing a silent picture:
Generations of members of the Black Stone Tribe, fighting the beasts to the death, fighting the surrounding tribes, drove the beasts, and established their own homes; then worked hard to cultivate, domesticate, and hunt, so that a small tribe gradually grew.
At that time, a large red flame of basketball was respectfully worshipped in the stone house; in the large stone house, in addition to this flame, there were many black stone rocks.
Such a beautiful day, until one day, a more powerful tribe arrives...
No one explained it, but Niu Xu could understand that this was the history of the entire Blackstone tribe, which was unfolding in his eyes in a way that he could not understand at all.
He glanced at the surrounding area, as if the other members of the Black Stone tribe were intoxicated in their own songs and did not see the same scene as themselves.
It was too late for Niu to wonder why this happened, because something more singular had happened that had captured all his attention.
I saw that a small fire of bean-sized dots, gleaming with red light, rose slowly from the bottom of the bonfire, and finally hovered at the top of the bonfire; all this, like an invisible silk thread, was involved in its ascension.
Although the fire is only a little larger than the beans, it seems that a breeze blew through it, and it can be easily blown out; but at this time, where only the breeze is blowing, the bonfire blowing from time to time, the hunting of the bonfire, but the small fire, or the fire mentioned by the black stone tribe and the population, is not affected by the mountain wind at all.
This is unscientific!Niu Xu secretly muttered in his heart, he just stared at the fire for a while, as if he could feel it, which contained the wild energy of the wild beast, so that such a huge force was released, even if only a little aftershock swept him, he was the end of the broken bones.
A ten-minute dance ended behind, wearing a bear's skin, and jumped out of a stinking sweat and roaring: "The sacrifice."
The voice of the leader had just fallen, and the colorful people who had long been prepared had been carried up a few large baskets to the outskirts of the bonfire, and then took over by several soldiers of the hunting team, which was carried to the small fire.
Niu Xu can see, wash the clean bottom of the rattan basket, with fresh leaves and flowers at the bottom, above all kinds of fresh fruits picked during the day, and the two wild deer are also cleaned up by the open stomach, placed in the large rattan basket.
Finally, it was also the highlight of this sacrifice, the living wolf was carried up; the wolf seemed to feel the arrival of his tragic fate and began to struggle fiercely, but under the suppression of the reckless and another fierce man, he could not move at all.
The queer was unusually solemnly pulled out of the animal's leather belt, which was rarely used, with a dark texture; this time because of the closeness of the pair, Niu Xu saw clearly what kind of stone knife, but a bone strange knife.
As for what kind of beast, in order to have a black skeleton, but also sharp into this, Niu Xu can only say that he knows nothing...
The only intact hand holding the knife in his hand, he sang with a very serious voice: "Great spirit of ancestors!Thank you for the fire you have handed down, for helping us to drive out the beasts, to protect our villages from invasion, and to the strength of our warriors to the totems.”
Speaking of this, under his motion, he took up the wolf with his hand, so that he showed the part of his heart, and the clean knife was pierced into his heart; until the knife was pulled out; the wolf's heart was warmed, and like a blood arrow, he shot the past against the small fire.
"Be careful."Niu Xu almost scared out, a total of so much small fire, perhaps the wind can not destroy it, but more than it is thicker than a bloody arrow, can not destroy it?
If such an important fire is extinguished in such a solemn ancestor ceremony, the music is big.
Facts have proved that Niu Xu's worry is completely excessive, the heart of the beast wolf was shot on the small fire, but it is like being added to the fire, the whole fire gradually burned up.
The voice of the leader became louder, even in the surrounding mountains and forests, and there was his echo: "Now the later generations of the Black Stone tribe, for the great ancestors of the spirit and fire, piously offered sacrifices; please bless us to successfully escape this crisis, and please witness the Black Stone tribe and the Niu Xu brothers, never-ending friendship."
The voice of the leader had just fallen, and the growing fire suddenly exploded, stirring up the sparks of the sky, which shrouded the surrounding crowd; the closer the bonfire, the denser the sparks became.
"Do not move, the spirit of the ancestors and the fire of the tribe will not really hurt you."The leader of the choir ordered the bull in the midst of the busyness.
After hearing this, Niu Xu gritted his teeth and let the dense spark cover himself; then, as well as the quips, once the spark came into contact, even his clothes were not burned, and he directly disappeared into Niu Xu's body.
And the small fire, after the explosion of this round of sparks, once again returned to its original appearance; then gradually sank to the ground until it disappeared into the ground.
