Yan was a little surprised at how excited everyone was, but he was still very happy to hear everyone praising his proposal.
Striking while the iron is hot, after everyone's emotions calmed down, Yan spoke again: "Now that the tribe's name has been decided, can we take this opportunity to decide on the tribe's totem?"
"Totem? Totems are good! The tribes that have totems in our human race are all big tribes." A rare look of memory appeared on the clan leader's face, "When I was young, I also went to a tribe that had totems. "
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Yan's eyes. This was the first time since he awakened the memory of his previous life that he heard very clear news about other human tribes in the outside world.
In the years since Yan Awakening, it's not like he hasn't inquired about other tribes, but most tribesmen have never left the tribe in their lives and have almost no understanding of things outside the tribe.
Even if I occasionally hear stories from some tribesmen, they are mostly from fragments of words from tribe elders or former priests, almost all of which are vague and specious information.
"Chief, have you been to other human tribes?" Yan couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and interrupted the chief's memories.
After hearing what Dao Yan said, the clan leader glanced at Yan with a curious look on his face. Then, under the eager eyes of everyone, he slowly said, "That was many years ago."
"At that time, the old priest was still there, the tribe also had fire, and there were more than twice as many tribesmen as there are now. Although the individual strength of the tribesmen was not as strong as it is now, the overall strength will not be worse than it is now."
"Yes! I remember it too. It has been almost twenty years since we moved here."
"It's been almost twenty years. I've almost forgotten what the old priest looked like now."
"The old priest is a very kind man. I still remember that he praised me for my potential as a priest."
"Forget it! You can't even sit still and practice qi, and you still have the potential to do sacrifices. However, there were indeed a lot of people in our tribe before the migration."
"Hey! What a pity..."
…
The tribe leader's words aroused everyone's emotion. Although Yan had memories of his childhood due to the awakening of his past life memories, he was only one or two years old after all, and he did not have deep feelings about the changes and migrations of the tribe in the past.
The clan leader also looked sad after hearing everyone's discussion. He waited until everyone stopped and then said again: "At that time, our tribe still had contact with the outside world."
"Every few years, the priest will lead some powerful tribesmen and young people with the potential for sacrifice and bloodline awakening to travel and visit other surrounding tribes."
"At that time, I was doing well among the younger generation of the tribe, so I was fortunate enough to travel with the priest." When the patriarch said this, the look of reminiscence on his face became stronger, and a rare flash of pride and pride flashed in his eyes. reserved.
"Chief, what places have you been to? What's going on in the tribes outside?" Hu Zheng was listening intently. Seeing the patriarch concentrating on his memories, he felt anxious and couldn't help but ask.
The beautiful memories of youth in his heart were interrupted by the tiger. The clan leader gave the other party a fierce look and continued: "We have been traveling outside for almost half a year and have visited more than ten tribes."
"These tribes range in size from a few hundred people to tens of thousands, but most tribes have a population of one to two thousand people."
Having said this, the clan leader paused for a moment, glanced at the people who were curious about knowledge with a slightly ostentatious look, and then said again: "These tribes may be far or near, but they are basically connected to each other."
"Because they communicate with each other, most of them have fire." At this point, the clan leader couldn't help but glance at Yan, "However, they don't have the ability to drill wood to make fire like Yan. Fire mainly relies on the blood of the clan members. gained by communicating with each other.”
"Yes! If we hadn't invented the method of drilling wood to make fire because of the Holy Mother's blessing, I'm afraid we would have to wait until the bloodline awakened people with the talent to manipulate fire appear in the tribe, so that they could have fire again."
"Yes! If there hadn't been a fire, we wouldn't have been able to survive last night."
After hearing the words of the clan leader, several captains present nodded their heads with deep sympathy. Their eyes unconsciously looked at Yan who was looking deep in thought, with admiration and gratitude shining in their eyes.
"Chief, since other tribes also have fire, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to name the tribe 'Yanshi' just now?" After hearing what the chief said, Yan suddenly thought of the name of the tribe that everyone had just decided on. asked worriedly.
"What's inappropriate about this?" After hearing Yan's words, Hu was the first to speak: "Our tribe has completely mastered the method of making fire, and there is no worry about the fire going out, but other tribes are not like that."
"Yes! Our tribe doesn't worry about the problem of the fire extinguishing at all. The name 'Youyan' is well deserved." The clan leader also nodded in agreement.
"I was mistaken." Yan also responded, nodded sarcastically, changed the topic and said: "Chief, please continue to tell us about the situation of the tribe outside."
"Okay! Let me continue the topic just now." The clan leader nodded after hearing this, and continued: "The living habits of the tribes outside are actually similar to ours."
"They also lived in caves and relied on hunting and gathering for a living. In terms of diet, they were the same as us before, eating raw food, one meal a day, and they did not have the habit of cooking animal offal."
"Haha! We are much better than them now." After hearing this, Hu suddenly interjected with a proud look on his face and laughed.
Hu's words made everyone feel proud. They all nodded in agreement, and even had a reserved smile on their faces unconsciously.
"Okay! Don't interrupt, let's listen to the patriarch and continue to tell us about the outside world." Although her mother Ning also looked happy, after all, this was all the credit of her own son, she still opened her mouth and brought the topic back again. .
"Yes! Yes! Let's listen to the patriarch first."
"These tribes basically have their own sacrifices and related inheritance. The old priests take us out to travel. In addition to increasing our experience and knowledge, a large part of the reason lies in the exchange of these inheritances and the training of the next generation of sacrifices."
"But it's a pity that before the new priests can be trained, the old priests are gone, and our inheritance of sacrifices is also broken." The patriarch said this, slightly sad.
At this time in the ancient times, the human race did not have its own written language, and all inheritance relied on oral transmission, so many things would be lost if not careful.
"Clan leader, you don't have to worry too much." Yan comforted him after seeing this: "Although our tribe has lost the sacrificial heritage, it has gained the inheritance of Qi practitioners and the physical body. As long as we persist, the tribe will definitely become better and better. The stronger."
"What's more, with the development speed of our tribe, we will definitely have the opportunity to go out again in the future. Therefore, it is not difficult to obtain the inheritance of sacrifice again."
After hearing what Yan said, a smile appeared on the clan leader's face again, and he nodded and said: "Indeed, with the current foundation of our tribe, as long as we continue to develop, it is really possible to regain the sacrificial heritage."
"Chief of the tribe, do you still remember the way out? Why didn't the tribe have any contact with the outside world after the migration?" Yan continued to ask.
