Chapter 13 Witchcraft(1/2)
After the triangular green sheep was caught, Chen Bei took people to hunt several times. Two wild boars of four or five hundred kilograms and one wild buffalo of more than one thousand kilograms were also captured alive.
The three animals used for sacrifice were all the same. After seeing it, the elder was very satisfied. He believed that the totem god would definitely like these three preys.
Wild boars and bisons are too destructive, so Chenbei can only build a rough and sturdy shed and temporarily place them.
The triangular green sheep is planned to raise it for a long time, so naturally the sheep pen cannot be perfunctory.
According to Chenbei's requirements, the sheep pen was built into a stone house.
The roof is made of beams, covered with thick bark, and the walls are also filled with stones. The gaps are filled with a mixture of loess and hay. Except for a small window, it is simply airtight.
The fishing captain Lie said sourly after visiting the sheep pen: "Why do I feel that the place where the Triangle Green Sheep lives is better than what I live?"
After hearing this, Chen Bei smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely build a better house in the future. Stone houses are prone to moisture in spring and summer, and there is nothing to envy."
"Is there really a better house?" Lie looked at Chenbei with anticipation.
"Of course, I'm the leader. I said there was, there must be."
Chen Bei's face was full of confidence, and Lie was also infected. He was very eager for the life of living in a good house.
After the stone house was built, the Triangle Green Sheep was driven in. From today on, this is their home.
"Chief, leader, elder, please go to the altar."
Ya hurried over. As long as it was about Chenbei, he was always very active. This might be the power of worship.
"Okay, I'll go there right away."
When Chen Bei came to the altar, many people gathered here, and everyone wanted to contribute to the construction of the altar.
The altar is a circular stone platform made of stone, with a diameter of seven or eight meters and a height of more than three meters. There are steps to go up.
The entire altar looks rough, not too many of my complicated patterns, nor does it have fine specifications.
But it is simple and grand, just like the personality of a tribal person, not so many fancy ones, and it is mainly practical.
"Elder, are you looking for me?"
Chenbei walked to the elder.
"Chief, you are here, it's great. Hurry up, expose the totem patterns on your body and let the stone master carve it, otherwise I will always be worried about carving the wrong one."
So that's the case, it's not difficult.
Chen Bei then took off his animal leather jacket and activated the power of the totem. The dark red totem patterns appeared clearly on him.
The stone craft master approached Chenbei, carefully watched these totem patterns, and even started copying with a stone slab. He really didn't know how to miss the details.
"Chief, raise your arm, there is a piece here that I don't see clearly."
"Okay." Chen Bei had no choice but to raise his arm.
"Chief, raise your head, and you can't see it under your neck."
"Okay." Chen Bei raised his head again.
At this moment, Chen Bei felt that he had been a nude model once, but the people around him were still looking sacred, and the feeling was very strange.
After finally waiting for the stone master to copy the totem god, Chen Bei quickly put on the animal leather jacket.
Although he has the power of totem and is not afraid of the cold, he always feels strange when he is seen by so many people, especially the eyes of the women in the crowd make him feel even more uncomfortable.
The stone craftsman began to carve the totem patterns on the altar, and Chen Bei had nothing to do and was about to go back.
"Chief, wait."
The elder called Chenbei and walked towards him with a cane.
"Elder, is there anything else?"
The elder said with a tangled face: "The altar has been built and the sacrifices have been prepared, but our tribe has no witch yet!"
"In the past, the sacrificial rituals were completed by witches. If there were no witches, the sacrificial ritual would not be able to be carried out."
Just now you said something important? Chen Bei is a little powerless to complain about it.
Everything is ready. Now you tell me that the sacrificial ritual needs a witch, where will I find it for you?
Chen Bei asked tentatively: "How about we choose someone in the tribe as a witch?"
The elder shook his head and said, "No, no, witch is designated by the Totem God. The Totem God will give Wu Feifan's power. The people we choose ourselves do not have that kind of power and cannot communicate with the Totem God."
"What should I do according to the elder's opinion?"
Chen Bei felt that this old guy must have thought of a solution long ago, otherwise he would not have waited until now to talk about this extremely important matter.
The elder looked at Chen Bei with a smile on his face, which made him furrow all over his body.
"Elder, if you have something to say."
The elder said: "Captain, can you communicate with the Totem God? Now, choosing a witch requires the instructions of the Totem God..."
The elder rubbed his hands and looked at Chenbei with a smile on his face.
It turned out that was the idea.
Chen Bei finally understood what it means to shoot himself in the foot.
I used to use the instructions of the totem god as a shield. Now, when I really need the instructions of the totem god, can Chen Bei tell the elder that I was talking nonsense before?
"Okay, I...I'll go back and communicate with the Totem God."
After Chen Bei finished speaking, he ran away in a panic. He thought to himself that it would not work. If he really couldn't awaken the Totem God, he would have to find someone in the tribe to be a witch. Anyway, everyone thinks he can communicate with the Totem God.
After returning to his residence, Chen Bei sat on the bed with a frown, reached out and touched the horn on his forehead. At that time, the Totem God helped him awaken the power of the totem, he fell into a deep sleep and had not moved for so long.
Now, can it be awakened?
Chenbei had no choice but to try it with a tough bullet.
"Sir Rhino God, wake up..."
Chen Bei knocked on the horn, and screamed quietly while knocking. It is probably only Chen Bei who dares to summon the totem god so roughly.
However, Unicorn had no reaction, and Chenbei seemed to be glaring at the blind man.
"Is it because it's not enough?"
Thinking of the hardness of the unicorn, Chen Bei felt that he must have knocked lightly and the sound could not be conveyed.
So Chenbei picked up a stone slab and slammed it on his forehead a few times.
"Dongdong..."
"Click!"
The stone slab was smashed, and the horns were not in trouble at all, and there was no trace left.
"What should I do? Do you really want to panic again and choose a witch?"
Chen Bei had a bitter face and could fool other things, but the fact of choosing a witch was too great that he dared not fool.
A tribe of witches is not only as simple as mastering sacrificial rituals, but also includes various precious knowledge such as inheritance, medical skills, divination, and writing. It can even be said that witches know almost everything in the tribe.
Otherwise, this witch would be unqualified.
It is difficult for a tribe led by an unqualified witch to become stronger, which is a vicious cycle.
"Boy, have you knocked enough?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in Chen Bei's mind, like thunder, which scared him to tremble.
"Mr. Rhino, you have finally woken up!"
Chen Bei was very happy and felt relieved. Finally, the worst situation did not occur.
"Nonsense, you've hit your head with a stone. Can I still sleep with peace of mind?"
The Rhino God was very dissatisfied. If someone else dared to disrespect him like this, he would have been angry long ago. But who told Chen Bei that he was the one he chose? No matter how dissatisfied, he could only endure it.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chen Bei hurriedly said, "I have established the Mang tribe as directed by Lord Xi Shen, and now there are more than 100 tribe members."
"Well, you did a good job." The rage God subsided a little. Chen Bei had a good ability to do things. He established a tribe of more than 100 people so quickly.
"Now, the tribe is going to hold a sacrificial ceremony to thank the Lord for your kindness. The altar has been built and the sacrifices have been prepared. It will definitely not disappoint Lord Rhinoceros God."
When the Rhino God heard that he was going to hold a sacrificial ceremony and there were sacrifices, his anger had almost disappeared. Speaking of which, he had not enjoyed the sacrifice for a long time.
"You awaken me for the ritual of sacrifice?"
"Of course, however, we are facing a small problem now, that is, there are no witches in the tribe."
Chen Bei looked upset and said, "Sir Rhino God, there is no ritual without witches, so please choose a witch in the tribe."
The witch is indeed very important to a tribe. The Rhino God is very clear about this, so he agreed directly.
"Okay, let all the people in the tribe go to the altar, and I will personally choose a witch among them."
"I'll go right away."
Chen Bei immediately left his wooden house, found the elder directly, and told the instructions of the Totem God.
