Let Go Of That Primordial Man

After nightfall, a huge bonfire was lit in the center of the small village, and all the members of the Blackstone tribe gathered around the bonfire.

Without exception, they all wore their best clothes and adorned themselves with their best accessories.

Cai, for example, put on the aunt’s style dress, and weaved countless braids on her hair, and the gaps between the braids were filled with long colorful feathers; from a distance, it looked like A pheasant with bright feathers.

As for Kui, on top of being shirtless, he put on a large piece of thick bearskin, and a string of necklaces hanging around his neck, all of which were sprung up with various sharp teeth.

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the fire, but they stood in a very orderly manner. At the front were a series of totem warriors from the hunting team, followed by ordinary warriors who had not awakened, and finally women and children from the tribe.

For some reason, Niu Xu, who was originally standing among the women and children, was directly pulled to the front near the fire; he stood with Kui, who was dressed in bear skin and looked like a black and blind man.

The strong sense of ritual quickly made Niu Xu put away the playful expression on his face, and became silent and serious like the entire Blackstone tribe members.

In such a solemn atmosphere, Kui suddenly shouted: Please kindle.

As Kui yelled, the surrounding women and children of the Heishi tribe knelt down in respect to the bonfire in the middle, and other adult warriors began to slowly dance around the bonfire; accompanied by clumsy dance steps , Everyone sang a song full of desolation.

In Niu Xu's eyes, these movements are more appropriate than dancing, rather than a collection of various labor and hunting movements; but I don't know why, such ridiculous movements, combined with the desolate singing, his Silent pictures seemed to flash in my mind:

Generations of members of the Blackstone tribe, they fought desperately with wild beasts, fought with the surrounding tribes, drove away the wild beasts, and established their own homes; and then worked hard on farming, domestication, and hunting, so that a small tribe gradually grew stronger .

At that time, a red flame the size of a basketball was respectfully enshrined in the big stone house; in the huge stone house, besides the flame, there were many marks of black stones.

Such beautiful days, 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 being displayed in his eyes in a way that he couldn't understand at all.

He glanced around secretly, it seemed that other members of the Blackstone tribe were all intoxicated by his singing, and did not see the same scene as himself.

It was too late for Niu Xu to think about why this happened, because something even more bizarre happened and attracted all his attention.

I saw a small flame that was bigger than a bean, shining red light, slowly rising from the bottom of the campfire, and finally hovering at the top of the campfire; all of this, like an invisible thread, was pulling It lifts the same.

Although the flame is only as big as a bean, it seems that a gust of breeze can easily blow it out; In other words, the fire mentioned by the Blackstone tribe and others was not affected by the mountain wind at all.

This thing is unscientific! Niu Xu muttered secretly in his heart. He just stared at the fire for a while, and he seemed to be able to feel that it contained wild energy like a wild beast. When such a huge force was released, even if only a little aftermath swept away If you hit him, he will be crushed to pieces.

After a dance of more than ten minutes came to an end, Kui, dressed in a bearskin and sweaty, shouted, Bring up the sacrifice.

As soon as Kui's voice fell, Cai and others, who had prepared long ago, carried a few large baskets to the periphery of the campfire and put them down, and then Mang led a few hunting team soldiers to take over, and finally carried them to the front of the little fire.

Niu Xu could see that the bottom of the cleaned rattan basket was covered with fresh branches, leaves and flowers, and on it were all kinds of fresh fruits picked during the day. In the huge rattan basket.

In the end, which is also the highlight of this sacrifice, the living wolf was lifted up; the wolf seemed to sense the arrival of its tragic fate, and began to struggle violently, but under the pressure of Mang and another strong man , can't move at all.

Kui solemnly pulled out the seldom-used small black stone knife from the animal skin belt; this time because of the close proximity, Niu Xu could see clearly what kind of stone knife it was. It was a strange bone knife.

As for what kind of beast can have black bones and be so sharp, Niu Xu can only express his ignorance...

Kuiwan's only intact hand held a knife, and sang loudly and solemnly: Great ancestor spirit! Thank you for the fire that you have passed down, help us drive away wild beasts, protect our villages from invasion, and let our soldiers Awaken the power of the totem.

Speaking of this, under his signal, Mang raised the wild wolf with one hand, exposing its heart, and pierced Kui neatly into the heart; after the knife was pulled out, the blood in the wolf's heart Like a blood arrow, it shot at the little flame.

Be careful. Niu Xu almost yelled out in fright. The small flame is only so big. Maybe the wind can't extinguish it, but a blood arrow that is thicker than it can't extinguish it?

If such an important kindling is extinguished in such a solemn ancestor worship ceremony, it would be a great joy.

Facts have proved that Niu Xu's worries were superfluous. The blood of the beast and wild wolf was shot on the small flame, but instead, it seemed like fuel was added to the fire, and the whole flame gradually grew stronger.

Kui's voice became louder, even in the surrounding mountains and forests, and there was a faint echo of him: Now the descendants of the Black Stone Tribe are devoutly offering sacrifices to the spirit and fire of the great ancestors; please bless We successfully escaped this crisis, and I invite you to witness the indelible friendship between the Blackstone Tribe and Brother Niu Xu.

As soon as Kui's voice fell, the large group of small flames exploded suddenly, arousing sparks all over the sky, and these sparks enveloped the surrounding crowd; the closer the place is to the bonfire, the denser the sparks are. Plus intensive.

Don't move, the spirit of the ancestors and the tribal fire will not really hurt you. Kui told Niu Xu in the midst of his busy schedule.

After hearing this, Niu Xu gritted his teeth and let the dense sparks cover him; then, as Kui told him, once the sparks came into contact, they didn't even burn his clothes, and they directly entered the cow. Xu's body.

And the small fire seed, after the explosion of this round of sparks, returned to its original shape again; then it gradually sank to the ground until it disappeared into the ground.
