"witch……"
Hua Xu's eyes moved slightly and he said in confusion,
"what is that?"
"I have never heard of such an existence. What is the witch you are talking about, and... divine fire?"
As he spoke, Hua Xu stared closely at Feng Xi's flat palm. The sacred fire enshrined by the tribe was slowly burning in his palm.
"Sacred fire?"
When Feng Xi heard this, his eyes moved slightly, he lowered his head and stared at the flame in his hand, and sneered,
"There has never been a god, so where does the divine fire come from?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and stared at the obedient firewood in his hand. His tone was complex but firm,
"Perhaps, it would rather be called fire, the fire of inheritance!"
The divine fire that ancestor Da Sui brought from Suiming Kingdom was the same flame that was born when he drilled wood to make fire.
It is also a fire that belongs to the inheritance of the human race.
It was this fire of inheritance that made Feng Xi understand the path of witchcraft.
Raising his head, Feng Xi sighed quietly in his heart when he saw Hua Xu nervously staring at the firewood in his hand, unwilling to leave for a moment.
Even though the truth about Xinhuo, which transcends mortal power, has been revealed before her, what she cares more about is the "divine fire" that protects the tribe.
He couldn't help but feel sad for the human race in this world.
He knew very well from the lessons of his previous life that if you place your hope on the gods, then the human race can only live forever under the mercy of others.
He was silent in his heart, and not long after, he saw Feng Xi wave lightly, and the fire broke away from his palm and flew back to the altar in front of him.
Seeing that the "divine fire" was intact, Hua Xu breathed a sigh of relief. What happened during this sacrifice had completely subverted her outlook on life, making her feel frightened and out of breath from time to time.
Then Hua Xu's eyes fell on Feng Xi again, staring at him closely, gritting his teeth,
"Xi, shouldn't you explain?"
"Explain what?"
Feng Xi's expression remained unchanged and he looked at her calmly. Although he knew that Hua Xu was going to be angry, his face remained calm.
"Why can you activate the divine fire of communication, and what exactly is the... witch you are talking about?"
To communicate, Hua Xu tried hard to use these two words to describe Feng Xi's behavior towards Suihuo just now as if he were controlling a tool. In the eyes of people of this era, gods are inviolable, and so is divine fire. Maybe this is some kind of self-comfort. Bar!
"The fire? Well, it's the fire!"
Under Hua Xu's gaze, Feng Xi had no choice but to change his words.
"I remember Amu told me that the divine fire was brought over from the Suiming Kingdom by the ancestor Sui, so Amu should know that the ancestor Sui drilled wood to make fire!" Feng Xi continued.
"Um!"
Hua Xu nodded, and when the Sui man drilled the wood, fire came out. Everyone in the Fenggun tribe knew this.
"You mean..."
"The divine fire is the flame that the big flint drills into the wood to make fire!"
Feng Xi was decisive.
Rather than drilling wood to make fire, it is better to say that it is stealing fire, tearing part of the power of fire from the hands of the gods of heaven and earth.
Otherwise, Xinhuo would not be able to release the light curtain that enveloped the entire Fenggon tribe!
"Can……"
Hua Xu subconsciously wanted to object, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Feng Xi said was somewhat reasonable, and he couldn't find any reason to object.
The Fenggon tribe was founded by the ancestor Da Sui, and he also brought the divine fire!
The story of the big Sui drilling wood to make fire has been passed down from generation to generation in the tribe.
Feng Xi is right!
It's just that she, who has always regarded fire as a god, faced the sudden truth. Even if she believed it in her heart, she was unwilling to admit it, and she didn't dare to admit it.
Still deceiving yourself!
Feng Xi looked at Hua Xu's changing expression and sighed in his heart. In this primitive era, it is difficult to change the concept of human race.
But to be more serious, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fire, which originally represents the embodiment of part of the power of fire, is a different kind of god!
It's just that Feng Xi, who clearly understands the witchcraft, is unwilling to let the tribe fall into the outer path of worshiping gods!
"Let's not talk about the divine fire and fire for now, but what about the witch you talk about?"
After finding that he could not find a reason to refute, Hua Xu decided not to think about it, and instead focused on another word from Feng Xi's mouth.
"Shouldn't you explain this properly?"
"witch……"
When Feng Xi heard this, his expression paused, and a trace of trance flashed in his eyes.
The moment he became a witch, he seemed to see a shadowy picture of the future.
Ancient beings named witches communicate with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth and protect the tribe.
They are powerful, and some of them use the power of ghosts and gods to protect the tribe; they even replace them with ghosts and gods;
Some mobilize the heaven and earth, using all things natural as a medium, to control the wind and rain, and move mountains and oceans. However, there are gains and losses. Forcibly ingesting natural power is easy to be punished by God, and it will damage your life span, causing long-term damage to the body. It is rare to live a long life, but there is no regret at all.
Some are good at divination and guide the tribe on the way forward amidst numerous natural and man-made disasters.
Others are obsessed with their souls, delving into powers that other witches disdain to delve into, and even do not hesitate to be denounced as evil by their fellow witches.
What was done?
Without him, it is the guardian of my heart!
…
Understand the way of heaven, understand the principles of heaven, dispel evil spirits, avoid evil spirits, relieve pain, avoid disasters, master rituals, and uphold inheritance...
They are a group of great wise men, but also a group of great perseverance.
They don't need longevity or immortality. All they want is for the human race to be passed down from generation to generation.
Even if the body continues to decline, it can be passed on to the next generation, allowing the will of the witch to continue from generation to generation.
Until the human race no longer needs witches, they will naturally hide quietly in the corners of the world.
They are a group of people who silently protect the tribe, and they are also a group of people who are struggling to survive in the wilderness.
Not seeking strength, but seeking the reproduction of the tribe.
All kinds of thoughts were flowing in his eyes, and then Feng Xi laughed loudly, and all the scruples in his heart were thrown away.
"The inheritor of protection, the forerunner of humanity, witches, should not run away!"
Thinking of this, Feng Xi gradually calmed down. He glanced at his mother, turned around and looked up at the rekindled fire on the mountain peak.
The flames reflected in his pupils, shining brightly!
As if he was speaking his own declaration to the heaven and earth, and as if he was communicating with the ancestors who left their will to pass on, just listen to his words,
"The God of Music and Dance is a witch!"
"To reach heaven and earth, you are a witch!"
"It's a witch if it's what people want!"
"Adhering to the inheritance is a witch!"
"Protect the tribe as a witch!"
Witches can communicate with the will of heaven, issue the will of earth, and achieve the will of people. Communicate with ghosts and gods, adjust the power of ghosts and gods, eliminate disasters and make wealth, prophesy from gods, pray for rain and cure diseases.
From the barbaric tribal era to the centralization of dynasties, to the rise and decline of Buddhism and Taoism, the figure of witches has never disappeared and has been throughout the development of human history.
Even in the later world where the scientific outlook prevailed, the existence of witches has not disappeared from history.
Instead, he stayed silently in a corner.
Witch is not so much a force as a spirit carried in the hearts of human beings.
It is protection, and at the same time, it is also inheritance.
In the past life, Feng Xi had no idea where the ancient witches came from.
But he had a vague understanding that there were no witches in this vast wilderness, or in other words, he was the first witch in this vast wilderness!
Silently putting his thoughts back, Feng Xi's eyes fell on Amhuashu again and asked in a solemn voice,
"Amu, are you willing to become a witch?"
