I am a primitive

Although he is the Son of God in the tribe, and nominally the number one god stick in the tribe, he is far less sincere than Wu in matters such as offering sacrifices to the gods.

It's really because the tribe can have what it is today, it's all due to the hard work of him and the people in the tribe, and it really has nothing to do with the gods.

Of course, he didn't object to these things, and he didn't say anything to overthrow the gods.

This is not only because he still bears the name of a son of God, with a halo exuding from his body, but more importantly, the tribe has not yet developed to the point where it is necessary to completely break the belief.

For the current tribe, the positive significance of this primitive sacrifice to the tribe far outweighs the negative significance.

Moreover, the development of society and things has stages, and the things that suit the actual situation of the tribe are the most practical.

Applying something that is too advanced to a stage that is not suitable for it will not only fail to achieve the expected effect, but will cause harm to the tribe and affect the development of the tribe.

Regarding this degree of primitive belief and worship in the tribe, Han Cheng has no objection.

Most of the time, it is viewed from a perspective similar to that of a bystander, just like watching a temple fair in later generations.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the totem pole placed in the house where Han Cheng, Wu and the others lived was carried out by the elder brother and the others, and then carried to the platform that had been cleaned up a lot.

Under the fluttering green sparrow flag, a rougher and more primitive totem pole stood there, and Han Cheng, the son of God, stood beside the totem as before, enjoying the same treatment as the totem pole.

In front of Han Cheng and the totem pole, there were several tables covered with red-dyed sackcloth, on which were placed things used to worship the gods.

There are no such things as the three or five animals that were commonly used in ancient times.

On it were the rice that Han Cheng had brought back from Jinguan City, white kaolin, a bowl of cold well water just dug out of the well, a piece of meteorite, and a white skull.

These things are obtained by the tribe this year, and they represent the prosperity of the tribe, and the better and better of the tribe.

In Han Cheng's view, such sacrificial offerings are far more meaningful than the three animals.

In front of the platform, a pile of flames had already been lit, which was also an indispensable tool for witches to formally offer sacrifices to the gods.

On the one hand, it is because people in this era are generally in awe of fire, thinking that it is a sacred thing that can also bring harm to people.

On the other hand, without the burning flame, it always makes people feel that there is a lot less sense of ritual.

Looking at the burning flame, the witch with a feather crown on his head and a bone staff in his hand, his whole state is different, full of reverence, excitement, and devotion.

On the other hand, Han Cheng, who was standing by the totem pole on the stage, was not as excited as Wu, and instead squinted his eyes.

Of course it wasn't because I couldn't stand it anymore, but because of the green smoke blown by the wind, the smoke reached my eyes.

In addition to the change of the place where the large-scale sacrificial ceremony was held, another major change was that the person performing the sacrificial ceremony this time was not just Wu alone.

As the next adult witch who has been trained by witches for several years in the tribe, Shi Shi also played this time.

He was dressed the same as the witch, with a feather crown on his head and a bone staff in his hand.

It's just that compared with the feather crown on the witch's head, the feathers on the feather crown on his head are much sparser, and it is far less bright than the feather crown on the witch's head, and the bone staff in his hand is not as big as the bone staff in the witch's hand.

In fact, Stone doesn't like to do such things.

This is not only because he thinks these things are very cumbersome and hard to remember, but also far less interesting than the rest of the things.

The more important reason is that after so many years, the gods have never talked to me, let alone talked to me, and have not even given me any enlightenment.

Such things made Shi Shi very uncomfortable, and because of this, he lost some patience and some respect for the cold god.

If Wu hadn't told him with certainty more than once that Wu himself had been inspired by the gods and communicated with the gods, Stone would have held the totem pole in the tribe and asked the gods Not asleep.

Even sometimes, I want to slap the totem pole twice to wake up the sleeping god...

Shitou has practiced things like sacrifices many times under Wu's teaching. After confirming the holding of this sacrificial meeting and letting Shishi play with him, Wu has stepped up his assault on Shishi in the past few days, so Although this was the first time Shishi did such a thing in front of everyone, he didn't feel too timid or flustered.

As the big brother beat the big drum, a primitive, rough and simple sacrifice began.

The witch with a feather crown on his head and a bone staff in his hand, and two stones dressed in the same clothes, started to dance.

Shishi basically followed the witch all the way, and he would do what the witch did.

While dancing and dancing, the two of them chanted some words that probably only they themselves could understand what they meant.

The two people didn't just dance on the spot, sometimes they would circle around the fire, and twice they went directly to the high platform, and circled around the totem pole and Han Cheng standing beside the totem pole on the platform.

After dancing for a while, under the leadership of Wu, the two people went down from the stage, and circled around the people of the Qingque tribe who stood in the square, who looked very sacred and pious...

"God!"

After bouncing around and bouncing around for a while, I felt that I was so tired that I could hardly bear it anymore, the dancing witch finally stopped, standing in the open space between the burning bonfire and the totem pole, Holding the totem pole, he shouted loudly, his voice was pious, and he didn't sound tired at all.

The people who had already been driven by such an atmosphere also shouted loudly with the witch, and imitated the witch's appearance and pressed their hands in front of their bodies, saluting to the totem pole.

"Son of God!"

The witch raised the bone staff in his hand, raised his arms and shouted, with great piety and enthusiasm, then held the bone staff in his hand again, pressed his hand to his chest, and bent down deeply.

"Son of God!"

Shitou and the rest of the tribe all raised their right hands in imitation of witches, shouting in unison, full of reverence.

Junior brother Sha and other fifty people in charge of standing guard raised the weapons in their hands high, shouted loudly, and then bowed respectfully to salute.

For a moment, the entire tribe was filled with rumbling sounds, everyone bent down, only Han Cheng who was standing on the totem pole stood alone.

I have to say that this feeling is really wonderful. Even Han Cheng, who has no big ambitions and just wants to develop the tribe quietly, can't help being a little bit excited at this time.

Fortunately, as a traveler who has seen the world, Han Cheng quickly suppressed some other thoughts caused by such a scene.

It's not that he can really be ascetic and free from any thoughts, but because the current situation of the tribe simply doesn't allow him to have such thoughts.

In the 11th year of Qingque, after absorbing the two tribes of Fengfeng and Linfeng, the total population of the tribe reached 160, and the total population of citizens was [-].

Among them, there are 120 three male adult citizens and 220 five female adult citizens, a total of 340 eight persons.

There are 450 nine minors.

There are 360 ​​slaves in the tribe, including 180 adult slaves and [-] minor slaves.

This year, because the Blackstone Allied Forces came to attack the Copper Mountain residential area, and the addition of the Xi Tribe, the population has grown explosively.

There are more than 450 people who have been obtained from the Blackstone coalition twice in succession alone. Adding in the 58 people from the Xi tribe, the number reaches 520 in one fell swoop.

Almost one-half of the total population of the previous Qingque tribe.

Coupled with the newborn babies in the tribe in the past six months or so, the total number of Qingque tribe is now 730 people.

By the end of the year, after one hundred slaves in the tribe were released as citizens in the tribe, plus 19 people who could become adults before the end of the year, the number of adult citizens in the tribe could reach 460 seven.
