After a night of excitement, the next day, the plan was made, and Yu Zai decided to set off after the preliminary guidance of the big spring plowing.
So there is still a little time, after all, the new tribesmen still need some guidance.
When the sun went down that day, the Erba gods gathered around the sundial, pointed at a star in the sky, and shouted loudly.
"The big spark appears!"
Yes, a bright star appeared in the sky, the big Mars, not Yinghuo, but Antares, which belongs to the Seven Constellations of the Eastern Blue Dragon and is the second star of the fifth constellation!
Therefore, the appearance of big Mars is telling everyone that it is time to curb the noise and excitement.
Because of the big spring plowing, after everyone in the Akagata family has arrived, and when the big sparks are wandering in the sky, the work is really about to start.
Work hard and work harder! Wonderful, the new year is about to begin!
The climate in the south is warmer than in the north, so spring comes earlier than in the north. After the short winter, Sanmiao was defeated. Those who were killed were killed, those who were moved were moved, and those who were captured were captured. The biggest enemy is over. When everyone returns to their tribes, spring has come quietly with great strides.
Winter is going and spring is coming.
The hot spring plowing has just begun in these warm days!
"It's the third year!"
Someone shouted loudly that it was already the third year of spring plowing since the Akagata clan came to this land!
In this ancient wilderness, fighting with the beasts of heaven and earth, their lives become more and more exciting!
"Ji Chun sends out fire to burn! Yuyu, light the fire!"
The old patriarch called Yuyu. In ancient times, a year's farming began with burning fields. People were nervous because of work and excited because of longing. They regarded burning fields as a precursor to a good harvest.
After the mountains and fields are burned, the fire will be saved and waited for the next year, over and over again. This ceremony is called "receiving fire".
In ancient times, during the slash-and-burn farming period, the role of burnt ash... Needless to say, there is no need to mention this.
"Coming!"
Holding a torch, Yan Yu followed the large army of land reclamation people to the wilderness and began to burn the mountains and fields, just like they did in the first year, when everyone burned the mountains and logged trees to open up their homes.
Now that the Akagata family has mastered advanced agricultural equipment such as plows and colanders, the era of slash-and-burn farming has gradually faded away. If it were not for the lack of population, the slash-and-burn farming method might have completely changed to the way it was before the big spring plowing in the Akagata clan. A "sacrificial activity".
Every spring, wizards from various tribes use divination armor to predict this year's spring plowing.
In the first year, due to the flood caused by the snake, the important divination armor of the Tiliya clan was washed away by the water on the eve of spring plowing. It was lost to the Akakata clan's area and was sent back by concubines.
This does not mean that there are no substitutes for this divination. Baili Mao, the wizard of the Tiler Ya family, once prepared to use a substitute. However, the solemnity and seriousness of the substitute will definitely not be as good as the original version. Moreover, if such a thing happens before spring plowing, it will be considered It is a sign of bad luck in the coming year.
This is not a question of whether there are substitutes, but a question of whether there is a knot in the heart. Everyone thinks this year is unlucky, so this year may really be unlucky.
"I want a divination. I haven't had a divination for the past two years...but who should I ask for a divination?"
What Yu Zai is holding in his hand is the broken shell of an old turtle. The shell of the old turtle has not been used up after it was removed. I have to say that this thing is very useful. It is said that the shell of the spinner turtle can be "worn" when worn on the body. "Not deaf"?
This concubine has not been tested.
The Akagata family faced a very embarrassing question, that is, should they do divination?
Yu Zai really wants to imitate Jiang Ziya, crush the turtle shell with one foot and then say passionate words about how man can conquer nature...
"Everything is ready, let's take advantage of it!"
Due to the influence of Emperor Yan, there is no need to awaken the totems of new warriors in spring plowing this year, because now even the lambs in the entire Akafang clan have awakened totems, and the sun totem has not spared even a single sheep. Every one of them has been acquired. .....
So Yu Zai followed the divination process and did it himself.
Did a "subtitle" suddenly pop up in your mind? ....What Yuzai saw at this time, if I had to say it, was like playing a game and seeing subtitles but no voice.
Some of the messages that Yu Zai saw at this time were roughly the following: [The Akafang clan members hope that you will grant the blessing of spring plowing. Do you need to grant it? 】
Yuzai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
So the "message" began to be updated. Since this process was done by Sun Zai himself, the "subtitles" that appeared were basically the sacrificial witchcraft texts written by Sun Zai on the divination armor.
The words of prayer and the totem pattern began to merge into one. On the body, the totem of the sun shone brightly, and the prayer was completed.
Yu Zai cleared her throat and began to speak word by word:
"This year's harvest in Nanqiu will be more than last year's, including rice, taro, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts..."
After briefly reciting her wishes for this year, Yuzai could feel that the totem of the sun began to protect Nanqiu. This feeling was very clear. Between those few breaths, Yuzai could even feel the wind near Nanqiu. , changes in clouds, air currents, and even the heads of earthworms emerging from the new soil.
This feeling didn't last long and disappeared quickly.
"Ah, it's amazing!"
If I sacrifice myself, then what I say is God’s blessing!
"It turns out that this is how God ensures good weather. He changes and drives away the wind, clouds, and airflow around the tribe's residential area. Coupled with his clear perception of the soil, perhaps the real God can inhibit the growth of sick seedlings in time, or allow earthworms to grow. They mobilized in large numbers to renovate the soil..."
"So, it's like this. The protection of the gods cannot be separated from the tiny winds and tiny insects in the world. Everyone works together. This is the smooth weather and the relationship between man and nature... .God is the mediating medium!”
Yuzai once again had a clear understanding of the existence of "god".
He who moves mountains and seas is a god, he who protects and maintains good weather is also a god, and he who talks to earthworms and ants is also a god.
Some gods are human gods, while others are natural gods, innate gods, and sacrificial gods. The origins of the gods are different, but they all have the ability to protect all living beings because they are all born directly or indirectly from nature.
Even if it involves the mysterious and mysterious "Dao", doesn't the innate god also come from "the Dao"!
Yu Zai left the wizard's small house and saw the Beizheng of the Jiuli clan in the plowing fields, as well as the new ones. More than two hundred new people who had migrated here were receiving "ploughs", "column carts" and other farming equipment. "Training"!
But what's interesting is that Erba Shenren is also joining in the fun, and judging from the bruised and swollen conditions of the following Shenmen, their eldest brother has completed the task of beating his younger brother every day.
Yuzai walked to the nearby field ridge and stood on tiptoes to look out.
"Look carefully and study hard. You must know how to plow. The farming methods you used to have are no longer needed!"
Using Jin Ke La, the wheat yield per acre...ahem! I digress, this is the South.
Guan Fou, Guan Wei, Yang, Wu, Qian and others were conducting "demonstration operations" in the farmland, and they seemed to have become agricultural production mentors in the new era.
Among the animals, the big bull that had just been obtained looked at its future "work" without blinking an eye. Its two predecessors, the two stone bulls, were harnessed to plows and began to perform their first "work" in front of everyone. Demonstration of farming."
In the distance, the low roars of the big guys came, and the big guys were ready to welcome the new year.
