This is Shao Xuan first climbing mountains.
In Tribe is the status high person, place that lives in upward.
Along with more and more close mountain top, Shao Xuan feels children, as well as standards and several other Warrior that in front shows the way, early did not have optional of time under the mountain, becomes cautious many.
Shao Xuan they arrived at around time Fire Pit to gather many people, the place that the person in mountain foot area stands is quite far from Fire Pit, according to the housing place distribution, in the mountain lives jumps over upward, the place that now stands leaves Fire Pit to be nearer.
Is good because of leaving the although distant point, but the topography is high, stands to see near the Fire Pit situation reluctantly.
How many does the Tribe total number of people have?
Before does not know, but currently, Shao Xuan at heart probably had the estimate.
Today's ceremony Tribe all people must attend, no matter you fall ill in the bed, is the leg and foot is inconvenient, obtains the field. Shao Xuan estimated sketchily, the quantity no less than 1000 people, should about 1500.
More than 1000 people look like in Shao Xuan actually not many, but after arriving at this Tribe, Shao Xuan first time sees these many people, is very lively.
mountain top has a stretch of open area, center has circular hollow, but hollow center has the flame that in wind drags.
Fire Pit.
This is Shao Xuan first time sees this Tribe Fire Pit. In widely divergent with imagination.
Shao Xuan once had doubts, why Tribe Fire Pit in mountain top, there is the entire mountain coldest place, said again, Tribe had relatively mature flame, was retaining why still Fire Pit? Everyone mentioned Fire Pit time always awes specially, looks is bringing not shakable irreverence to the mountain top look.
Listened to the Tribe person saying that Fire Pit, relationship prosperity and decline Tribe. As for how the relationship method, Shao Xuan actually has not found from others there that now, can only look for the answer with own eye.
The mountain top ruo large piece place, enough stands Tribe all people.
The middle hollow that radius has 45 meters, but the hollow center is burning that small flame with ordinary candlelight, is not bright, felt that the wind blows extinguishes. Moreover, in Fire Pit, Shao Xuan had not seen the thing that any firewood or other can burn, under that flame has not seen the combustion the object.
That side exists forever Fire Seed in Fire Pit.
Regarding Fire Pit the wooden stake, wooden stake person of high, is very thick, on each wooden stake puts a stone trough, in the trough is piling up fresh the meat, fruit, bird's egg and other things, should be the sacrificial offering high quality goods.
By the wooden stake is also standing the person, listening to the surrounding discussion sound, Shao Xuan to know that these people are in each Hunting Team hunting ability strongest several, part is a youth, some already year near middle age, altogether 50 people.
On these faces is also drawing with square their same chart mark, stated differently, the chart mark colors on these faces, not only sole black, but also were many white and red, puts on also „gravely”, has a head to wear the big antler, is much bigger, almost quickly that person who passes through to come to see to arrive at Shao Xuan along the road other people who wears entire covers enters in the antler.
Except that wears Warrior of ultra-large antler, several other do not flaunt lets much, Shao Xuan thinks on the way climbed mountains to see suffices to exaggerate, has not thought here also had exaggerates.
suddenly, surrounding discussion sound one static, Shao Xuan looked at the past.
Was Chief and witch came, the place that they passed through, the crowd made way automatically, was specially respectful.
On Chief also wears sincere corner/horn, but the witch has no ideological problems weighing on the mind, has not worn any too exaggeration the thing, but is taking the root walking stick, some back rickets, put on grayish white animal skin cloak.
This is Shao Xuan second time sees the witch, felt that raised Caesar that time not to have the sweeping change with last year.
Follows in Chief and witch behind was the person who in this ceremony the people most cared about.
About 80 children, age from ten -year-old to 14-year-old has, these children follow close on Chief and witch behind, arrives at Fire Pit to stand one by one.
Shao Xuan saw the four people in hole, including Mo Er.
Before in the hole, that several children were hot tempered, now is peaceful with little darling, the hair also combed, but also was weaving some bone ornament, wore the sleeveless animal skin clothes. Since Shao Xuan understanding they, have not seen these people so neatly.
„This year's child many.” Nearby some people were discussing low voice.
„Yes, 30-40, were also many last year this year one time.”
„This is a good sign, some these many fresh blood join, our Tribe was more formidable.”
„......”
Surrounding person was discussing, side Shao Xuan the group of children also low voice whispered, envied, is thinking when can also stand that place near Fire Pit.
After waiting for the little while, the preparatory work of that side ceremony has completed, the ceremony starts.
Chief called haughtily, was a very strong person, heard strength rank Tribe first three.
Ao Xianjiang several, said that last year harvest, then forecasts one next in the future, raises morale. previous life Shao Xuan hear of this similar words hear much, does not have what feeling, side some people are actually excited resemble with anything, finishes in the Chief words also raises the arm roars high two, one group of young animals also roar the small face to become flushed.
After Chief said that was the matter of witch. The ceremony, the book takes witch as mainly.
About 80 children encircle in Fire Pit are standing, leaves Fire Pit to be nearer than these Warrior of it advance party by wooden stake.
The witches are taking the walking stick, the rickets the back, fights the Fire Pit border, stretches out the arms, starts to recite.
Scene suddenly from spiritedly becomes anxious, everyone tightly shuts up, including the breath cautiously, for fear that affected that side recitation.
Wu Chang any Shao Xuan has not understood, seems not the language that Tribe usually spoke, the tonality is also strange.
However, stranger also in behind.
Along with recitation of witch, center Fire Pit that flame is taking good care, whirling around, under existence of any combustion object, the flame is not getting bigger and bigger, spreads toward the surroundings, the flame body also more jumps over high, until the spread to the Fire Pit border, entire hollow Fire Pit will cover, the flame body also takes good care to three meters high, in the meantime, the flame most place above, appears one graph comprised of gradually the flame, is getting more and more clear, a flame formation bottom in together and in the unidirection curving, outside two horns, the two horns nearby is wrapping the flame of flashing continually.
That Tribe two horns Totem!
Fire Pit three flames, first flame Soaring Flame!
Soaring Flame, Totem present!
Not is only that side Fire Pit has Totem to appear, all Warrior Totem Pattern on the scene also appear.
Everyone is staring at the Fire Pit direction, the vision is reverent.
Weather already completely dark, two crescent moon shines in the nighttime sky two appearances. But mountain top at this time, because actually in Fire Pit the tuck dive flame, the surroundings were illuminated very brightly, is covering red.
Of recitation of witch has not stopped, instead is more resounding, drum sounds join, are having the specific rhythm, has the sound of bone rap and stone attack.
Some people pat the animal skin drum, the sound of drum are having have low high, but has listened to with Shao Xuan previous life the sound that some drums make is different.
Knocks the bone, to strike the stone and racket drumbeat.
Stood also moved in wooden stake nearby men and women Warrior, has joined, recited with Wu, with one, was away from certain distance, encircled a circle around Fire Pit, swung the hands and feet to beat.
Lao Gu who at the beginning of that is establishes to spread from Tribe dances.
Shao Xuan remembered once that research archaeology the words of schoolmate's, „many Tribe had their Lao Gu to dance, was at each Tribe ceremony a very important part, its load bearing in that specific time environment the unique etiquette of Tribe sacrificial offering, was transmitting the Tribe people's worship to the ancestor. Such dance is no one can study, anyone to jump, must according to the ancient precept that Tribe spreads.”
But these people who now, is gathering round the Fire Pit beat, is the elite in Tribe, is obtains has the qualifications that Tribe acknowledged at the ceremony to jump the person who Lao Gu danced.
although these movements look like very funny in Shao Xuan, but this kind of great honor, truly is Tribe everybody thinks. In the hole, Shao Xuan little has not listened to these young animals to fantasize that some day become at the ceremony will jump one in Lao Gu dancing member.
The strangeness that the temperament of performance could not say, the single sound sounded is very either grating, was very either sad, but these syllables about in together, were quite suitable regarding this time this scenery, making people feel that should be this, in this time this place such situation, should be such temperament rhythm.
However, compares Lao Gu to dance and special temperament, Shao Xuan caring stands these children near Fire Pit.
Warrior when these were chosen jump around Fire Pit Lao Gu dances, the flame flame body rising to the sky in Fire Pit higher, many flame fly from there.
Yes, flies.
Sparks, bunch of flame, directly flew from Fire Pit, in airborne flutters outward.
Fire Pit second flame Flying Flame!
But to the Fire Pit recent these children, avoids without any, still respectfully stands there, whatever these flame fly the body.
Shao Xuan stares the big eye to look at that side, after these flame fly the child body, has not burnt them, has not been burning including the clothing, melts in their bodies likely directly general.
The flame that integrates are getting more and more, is following close on the change is, on some children presented the Totem Warrior unique trace gradually, moreover such trace are more along with the flame of contact, becomes more and more clear, is getting more and more perfect.
The flame that seething with excitement and not only contacted has encircled near Fire Pit these witch by the child who selected, there is a border proliferation toward accumulation location, the place that Shao Xuan sits had many flame to flutter.
Looks at more and more near flame, Shao Xuan reflectively wants to avoid, but strong self-stabilization, since other people are motionless, should not like harmful that oneself imagine.
Truly, after flame contact, Shao Xuan only feels very comfortable warm feeling, has not actually burnt the feeling.
Then Shao Xuan has felt relieved, stares at that side Fire Pit to continue to look that has not managed the flame that more and more flies. Near Fire Pit these children, are this year luckiest people, they will obtain the ability from Fire Pit Fire Seed, awakens Power of Totem. Does not know three children who in the hole comes out add in half hole Mo Er of person to awaken successfully.
Is looking that stood lowers the sound to call his name in Shao Xuan nearby slaughter rapidly.
„...... Ah'Xuan! Ah'Xuan!”
„What?” Shao Xuan recovers, the line of sight puts aside from Fire Pit, actually the discovery surrounding child looks like damn looks at himself generally.
„How?” Shao Xuan doubts. Looked a moment ago is enthralled, periphery has not paid attention.
Nearby several children hurry to draw back, still panic-stricken looks at Shao Xuan.
The slaughter swallows the saliva, said: „You...... You......”
„What?” Shao Xuan somewhat is blurry, what words that this spoke? I what I?
„You...... Was burning......”
