Reborn Primitive Age

Chapter 5 The invisible flames

When the hunting team returns, as usual, the tribe's witch presides over worshiping the ancestor gods.

The place of worship is in a huge cave in the middle of the boulder, which is also the residence of the tribal witch.

Gong Liang went for a stroll, and felt that the inside was gloomy and hair-raising, so he just glanced outside and didn't dare to go in.

This time, following the hunting team to the Ancestral Temple, he found that it was not as gloomy as he had imagined, but rather warm.In the middle of the main hall is a huge relief sculpture with three groups of Yanhuo blazing on it, and beside it are some scenes of Yan tribe hunting animals and offering sacrifices, which looks reckless and solemn.

The three groups of Yanhuo among them are the totems of the Yanbu, and they are also the ancestor gods respected and believed by the people of the Yanbu.

In front of the relief is a thick stone pillar connected to the ground, engraved with countless inexplicable patterns or lines. The top of the stone pillar is hollow, with charcoal inside, and a cluster of blue flames burns hotly on it.

A group of ferocious beasts were neatly placed in front of the burning flames. Only ferocious beasts are eligible to be used as sacrifices here.

The witch of the tribe holds a bone staff in his hand, wears a robe made of various feathers, a string of beast teeth around his neck, and a crown made of colorful feathers inlaid with colored gemstones on his head. Dancing in front of the blue flames, singing an unknown language.

There seems to be an awe-inspiring supernatural power coming from somewhere.

Suddenly, the purple flame ignited spontaneously, and began to sway, sway, and roll, and became more and more blazing, gradually changing from a small ball to a large ball, and then to the size of a hug.As the body of the flame grew larger, it began to fluctuate around, gradually covering the hollow part above the thick stone pillar.At the same time, a flame figure is also separated from the side of the flame, which gradually turns from imaginary to real, gradually forming two flames.They are both connected and belong to each other, which looks very strange.

Things are far from over.

Under the chanting of the witch, the separated flames began to separate into a cluster of flames, standing on top of the two flames, forming the flame totem "Yan" believed by Yanbu.

After the three clusters of flames were separated, the power of the flames was dispersed, making them look a bit weak.

At this time, the witch did not stop, and danced even more frantically, and the inexplicable language he sang became more and more sharp, reaching straight into the sky and penetrating into the depths of his soul.The tribal warriors who came back from hunting also began to dance with the witch and sang the old song of the wild.The elders of the tribe next to them picked up the leather drum to respond, with a specific rhythm, guiding their movements, and the warriors in the tribe also hit the ground with bones and spears.

Gradually, adult men and women in the tribe also joined in, singing and dancing with the witch.

This is an ancient tribal dance inherited from ancient times, and it is also a battle dance that symbolizes victory.

In the dark, Gong Hao seems to have seen a trace of blue smoke floating from the head of the beast on the flaming flame that was poured into the stone pillar. The flaming flame that had been separated from the flame and became weak suddenly burned fiercely. The blazing fire becomes very full, strong, powerful, and hot, as if it can burn everything at any time.

After another ancient dance, everyone stopped and knelt down to the ancestor god in the middle.For a while, the patriarch hall was silent.

At this moment, Wu suddenly looked into the sky and shouted, the voice was high-pitched and distant, as if it could tear time and space, and illuminate the ages.

As he shouted, the flames of the word "Yan" on the stone pillar that formed the totem of Yan Bu burst suddenly, splitting into countless sparks and flying around.

None of the returning warriors closest to the stone pillar left to hide, and they still knelt there respectfully, letting the sparks fall on them.

Gong Liang stared at them with wide eyes. After the sparks fell on them, they didn't burn them. They didn't even ignite their clothes, as if they melted directly into their bodies.

With the integration of more and more sparks, those warriors who returned from hunting gradually changed, and some lines slowly appeared on the bodies of some naked warriors.The lines were dim at first, but as the number of sparks blended in, it became clearer and clearer. Looking closely, it seemed to be burning and boiling like blood.

The scattered sparks not only fell on the warriors returning from hunting, but also the people surrounding the warriors, and many spread towards the edge of the gathering place. Most of the people standing there were the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant in the tribe.

Gongliang belongs to this level, and there are many sparks floating over where he is sitting.

Seeing the sparks getting closer, Gong Liang subconsciously wanted to hide, but he still calmed down. Since no one else moved, the sparks should be harmless.

Indeed, after touching the sparks, Gong Liang found that the sparks that touched him turned into a stream of clear water from his forehead. In an instant, he felt as if his body and soul had been cleaned. Not only did he not feel any burning sensation, but he felt very comfortable.

One, two, three.

Three sparks floated towards him one after another, Gongliang was curious and reached out to touch it, but the spark passed through his hand and landed on his forehead.Just now that comfortable feeling reappeared again, Gong Liang closed his eyes in comfort, and in a moment, he actually entered the ethereal realm of emptiness and emptiness.

I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, I saw that everyone in the cave was still immersed in an indescribable state.

Gongliang was bored and turned his head to look around.Suddenly, I found that my eyesight seemed to have improved, and I could clearly see the murals carved around the dark cave.

At the beginning of the mural, there is a gloomy world.There is confusion in the sky, and a forest on the ground. In the forest, a giant beast is chasing a group of wolves and hunters.Then, a ball of flames fell from the misty sky, just hitting the giant beast, the flames were so hot that the giant beast was burned to death instantly, leaving only a forest of ashes and a pile of white ashes.The hunters were grateful for Dade's kowtow and worship, and brought the remaining sparks from the flames back to the family to serve them.

From then on, Yanhuo, which fell from the sky, became the totem ancestor god of the clan.

Every day after hunting, the tribe will sacrifice the prey they got.

At the beginning, Yanhuo didn't show any miracles, and only later did some miracles gradually appear.When a fierce beast enters the tribe, Yanhuo will appear to drive away the beast, and it can also turn into sparks and blend into the tribe's body.The mural ends here, and some important details seem to be deliberately concealed.

After a while, everyone gradually became sober and began to divide the prey under the auspices of the tribal leader.

Every time a hunt comes back, it will be like this, and everyone in the tribe will get a share more or less.

Naturally, Gongliang also had a share, but he ate at Dashi's house every day, so he gave his share of meat to Amu Xiaoshi.
