After experiencing countless receptions and leaving the hospitable Xiong Family Travel Cave, the two wizard assistants of the Xuanshe Clan once again embarked on the journey back to their tribe. Fortunately, they had successfully arrived at the vassal tribe of the Xuanshe Clan according to their original plan. The tribes in the area have all been forced to worship the Black Snake totem. Of course, the Black Snake has not abolished the totems of their respective tribes, because the Black Snake needs people rather than dead bodies.
By the time they returned to the tribe, another three days had passed. During these three days, because of the hospitality provided by the vassal tribes along the way, the two of them had a pretty good life. As for what conflicts were going on among the vassal tribes, it was not their fault. Things that two people care about.
But after the two of them left that day, the noise in the tribe became louder. What was discussed in this tribe was a "recruitment" and the future direction of the tribe.
This place is located in a remote place in the southwest, and Xuan She is the king and master here. They don’t know the south in the northeast, and they know very little about Lingnan on the other side. Most people never leave here throughout their lives. In the years when farming is insufficient, At the age of 18, he lived on wild fruits, fishing and hunting.
But this time, the old patriarch and old wizard of this tribe entertained two "passers-by" from the Southwest Xuanshe Clan, and thus encountered opposition from the young people in the tribe.
This prompted conflicts to break out.
Three days after the two "masters" of the Xuanshe clan left, just when they arrived at their own Xuanshe clan, a conflict also broke out in this small tribe. A group of radicals headed by five young people left the tribe. , the words are to go north!
Of course, the one they went to seek refuge with could not be Shi Qianyuan from the south.
The place they are going to is Eight Hundred Miles Dongting!
They are going to join Sanmiao!
"We have been stuck in this place with no development. We are tired of worshiping the black snake! That evil giant snake actually demands that a pair of boys and girls be paid tribute to it every year. Although only one tribe needs to pay tribute every year, this is It’s also unacceptable to us!”
"Two hundred years ago, Emperor Zhuanxu broke the bridge between gods and humans and broke the blood sacrifices of gods. How could such a fierce god dare to act so arrogantly in this world! Forty or fifty years ago, after Dayi shot the sun , What ferocious beast in the world dares to do this!"
The young man's attitude was very radical, and the old wizard was very angry:
"Here, giving Xuan Snake as a subordinate can at least ensure that most of the people in the tribe can live a stable life. The reason why Xuan Snake is powerful and uncontrollable is because it was once shackled by the Emperor of Heaven. Except for Wushan Except for the yellow bird above, no god can restrain it!"
"So, it does not dare to disobey the Yellow Bird, and the Black Snake will not massacre the human race. Our land is already barren, and the grains are not enough to feed many people. It is the Black Snake that lets many wild beasts grow, so that the tribesmen can hunt for a living. , and continue to grow the tribe..."
"You little guys have also received its blessings! Which one of you didn't survive on the lives of your dead brothers and sisters who you have never met!"
The young man was not afraid and looked directly at the old wizard: "It is precisely because of this that we can never live like this anymore!"
"The Black Snake is just raising us as livestock. We are not as good as it. We can swallow our anger. After all, we also raise cows and dolphins, but the cows and dolphins are satisfied if they have a mouthful of fodder to eat, but we don't want to do this!"
"Now is the time for the Black Snake to shed its skin. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!"
The old wizard was very angry: "Then you are going to seek refuge with Sanmiao. Is it the right thing to do? Who is Sanmiao? Even if we don't have good information here, we can still know what happened to Danyuan more than 20 years ago. Sanmiao They oppressed the tribes, occupied the land, and finally attracted a large-scale attack from the Central Plains. They thought they could defeat them and threatened to massacre the Central Plains, but they were beaten eight hundred miles away from Dongting!"
"Among the three seedlings, there are remnants of the four clans! They used to worship snake cultivators!"
"No matter how evil Xuan Snake is, he will at least govern one side and make the world smooth and not harm the earth and water. If you go to Sanmiao, do you know how terrible and hateful Xiu Snake was back then!"
The young man said: "Xiu Snake is dead! Its corpse fell and formed a baling in the west of Dongting! Its skin was peeled off by Yi, and even its descendants were wiped out!"
"If you are still talking about this now, Xiu Snake is dead, and all the four tribes have long since died!"
"Sanmiao is still in Dongting Lake. I heard that they suffered a defeat. Now is the time when they are in urgent need of manpower!"
"When we go there at this time, it's like a person who is about to die of thirst suddenly sees water!"
As the young man spoke, his tone became desperate and his expression became terrifying!
"Sanmiao is also a vicious person! Dongting is an extremely vicious place! But what can we do! To escape from the Black Snake, we must become strong. We don't want to live like this anymore!"
"I heard that at the end of the east is an endless sea. The water in the sea is countless times larger than the river. We are like small fish and shrimps rushing down the river. We know that it is a place with fast currents, but I would rather die in the sea than live in this mud!"
The tribe split apart, and some people chose to be more vicious. However, they had no choice but to live far away from the Black Snake. In these desperate mountains, they hoped to find a way out instead of worshiping the Black Snake totem every day and watching. My own totem sinks in humiliation!
Black Snake is different from Dongyi. Dongyi's sun totem is a pan-totem, which can increase the cohesion of the nine tribes of Dongyi, because they look at the sun as if they are looking at hope, and in the southwest, they see The black snake totem, apart from blood, is the despair of being in captivity!
Any living being can try to change his future, but some people are unwilling to change, while some living beings are willing to open a way forward in despair, even if the end of the road is even greater despair!
Because it can never be worse than now!
The population of this tribe was not very large, with more than 2,300 people, which was the result of many years of development. However, this time, the young people left the tribe, and more than 500 young adults were lost in one fell swoop.
The old wizard seemed to be dying for a moment. His hair was gray and messy, and age spots were marked on his face. He was holding a branch and leaning weakly on the threshold of the wooden house.
"Qianshou family, what will happen in the future..."
"A Liao, why don't you listen to your tribe..."
Similar things are constantly happening in various small tribes. Young people have already contacted each other and made up their minds while visiting the mountains and rivers, farming land, fishing and hunting.
The ancestral land can no longer bind them. They are determined to change this ancestral land!
If you don't go out to see the real world, you will always be trapped here. So what about Sanmiao, even if he is a very vicious person, but at any rate, it once occupied Danyuan, as far as Ge Tianlu and Zhenze, and Naba Hundreds of miles away from Dongting, a powerful alliance reaching Jingshan Mountain in the west!
That was a powerful alliance that had fought against the Central Plains!
The tribe's population left in large numbers, and their respective totems did not respond. Likewise, during this period, the totems of each tribe fell into a kind of silence.
Totems can no longer decide whether the new generation will stay or go.
The Blackwater Black Snake is still undergoing training at this time. After it sheds its skin, it will take a long time to recover. Of course, as long as the Black Water Snake does not make any big moves as always, the yellow birds on the west top of Wushan Mountain will not stare at it. .
Even Xuan She was thinking whether that old hen was still alive...
When the two wizard assistants came back, the great wizard of the Xuan She clan was already waiting for them. Under the solemn feathered serpent robe, there were wise eyes hidden.
"Come, tell me and the gods, where does that dazzling and disgusting sun rise?"
