Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Drop your cowtail and stand up.

Yang Yang casually threw the cow's tail down, the young girl next to him glanced at him, and then squatted carefully to pick up the cow's tail and put it in a wooden box next to him, with a layer of hay in the box, and the cow's tail was just inside.

And he pulled a smile, “As for? It doesn't work anyway. ”

Briefly.

Shao Xuan only found out that the young girl named Mi grew up with Yang Zheng and is now one of the witches with Yang Zheng, who will also participate in the sacrifice.

“Heard you guys went back to Flaming Horn Tribe? You're here with the guys in the middle?” Yangtze said.

“Hmm.” Shao Xuan asked looking at the two faces. "What happened on your side? You're going to be kicked out of the stage? ”

He scratched his head, “Sort of. ”

After a while of silence, he exclaimed: “If you are not a witch, forget it. That's okay, you can live. But what's worse now is that I could be burned to death. ”

“Bang!”

Next to the rice toss the wooden box in your hand and watch the cow's tail falling out of the box just now, red eyes yell: “How do you know you can't ask for rain if you haven't already?! ”

“Everybody knows that.” Smiled with dismay, "burning is a matter of time. ”

“I knew it, why did you lie?! Just say no, why admit it?!” Mi i wept down and wiped it with his hand, regardless of whether the dust on his hand was on his face, reloaded the cowtail of the ground into the box, plugged it into his hand and ran out. Run out and kick the half-closed door panels in one foot.

Shao Xuan looked at Mi , who ran away after kicking the flying door panel, and looked at the disgraceful yang standing there. "What's going on? Something happened?”

Shao Xuan knew that when Yang Yang was competing for the Witch Candidate, he observed a time when it might rain, then did a coincidence and finally pushed other competitors.

You look worse than you cry, "You shouldn't regret it!” Think back and die! It was time to confess under the pressure of the chief.

When I saw Shao Xuan again, it was rarely another situation like this. Yang Qiang briefly told Shao Xuan.

After his journey back, he did succeed in becoming a witch, but at the end of last year, when the new chief took office, the chief initially supported another competitor. I didn't know where to find out that Yang Yang had “cheated” in the beginning. Once he came to the stage, he opened his knife with Yang Yang and kept looking for trouble. Plus, since the beginning of this year, it hasn't rained a drop, and the new chief has seized the opportunity to let it rain.

Yangtze said it was difficult.

If anyone else, forget it, but if the new chief wants to pull his own people to power, he openly questions Yang Zheng's ability to seek rain, saying that his encounter with rain is a coincidence, not a genuine rainstorm, and he has deceived everyone, disrespecting his ancestors and totems, for which God will punish him, and so far this year it has not rained a drop. If this continues, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, the land will dry up quickly and the crops in the fields won't last long. An inspiration, and a reason for lying to the gods.

Said it was the last chief's idea to admit it? How dare you insult the late former chief?

“He made me ask for rain, and if I couldn't, I would have pissed off the gods and burned me to calm the anger of God.” Yang Zheng took out the cow's tail in the box and shook it randomly, continuing in his mouth: “In fact, many people know that they can't ask for rain, they know it's an excuse, but they can't help it, and the chief speaks. And, at his instigation, a lot of people really thought that if I couldn't ask for rain, burning me would solve the problem. ”

Previously, Yang Zheng was able to succeed in taking office, and his predecessor was carrying him. The former chief knew there was a coincidence in the rainstorm, but at the time he needed to stabilize the tribe and need an opportunity to expand his reputation, when he put pressure on Yang when he was going to defend himself.

“How many people support you now?” Shao Xuan asked.

If the chief doesn't dare to burn Yang Yang directly, he will have to drag it this far. There must be some concern.

“I talked to the chief's supporters, more than half to half. But the day after tomorrow, no one would ever support me again.” Smile bitterly.

“Rain the day after tomorrow?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Well, I've been prepping for rain these past few days. I also practiced a few times in private, and these cow tails are what I practiced.” Yang grabbed the cow's tail and threw it at Shao Xuan, "I broke a cow's tail yesterday, this is a new one. ”

“Do you ask for rain and use oxtails? ”

“Yeah," swings the cowtail in his hand, "and when he begs for rain, he has to hold the cowtail in his hand. However, this one is just for me to practice. When it comes time to ask for rain, I will use the other carefully prepared oxtail. The supporters behind me got it, which is not something I can play with. ”

“What are you going to do? Do you really want to stay here and get burned if it doesn't rain? ”

“What else can we do?” Yangtze stall, “I used to run away thinking something was wrong, but I can't run away, my family and friends are here, tribes are here, sparks are here, where else can I run? I don't want to be a tourist, let alone a slave. I'd rather burn! ”

The house was silent for a while.

“When's the next rain? Is the rainy season coming up?” Shao Xuan asked.

“There has been no rain for some time now, and as for the rainy season, here we are, after the full moon, later than elsewhere.” Yang explained.

That's a real problem. Without the rainy season, it won't rain in the sky, and Shao Xuan can't think of a good way. Manual rainfall? Shao Xuan really has nothing to do with this matter.

“Go back, Yangsha.” Yang Qiang said, "While I'm still in the presence of the witch, I can provide you with some good food. I'll have some more water and food delivered to you later. ”

Shao Xuan looked out from the broken window and could still see the blue sky. It is now a little cloudy and dusty. Sand and dust began to rise in the air outside.

“If you stay for two days, you can still see me burned.” Mocking himself. Carrying a wooden box with a cow's tail in his hand, he walked out of the house, "Encourage you to go back early, and don't go out tomorrow. ”

When Shao Xuan walked out of the cabin and returned to their resting place, the visibility around him had dropped a lot, and the sky was cloudy yellow. The wind is covered in sand and dust, and the sky is covered. People outside have some difficulty breathing, one squinting, and are occasionally choked by the dust.

For those of the Rain Tribes, it is customary, but for the first time out of the young travelers, they do not adapt, look at the dark sky, they are all depressed.

“I think it's better that our tribe is where it is.” Ray looked at the weather outside, closed the window and said to Shao Xuan.

For Ray and others, they are willing to live in the fierce mountain forest and not in such a windy, sandy, arid land, but for those in the rainy tribe, they are quite the opposite, preferring to live in such a place and not step foot in the fierce mountain forest.

“It's all happening out there. Let's get some sleep. Maybe when you wake up, there's no sand out there.” Though I was optimistic.

Shao Xuan was not so optimistic, and Yang said that it would be better not to go out tomorrow, which would obviously be worse than today. Shao Xuan believed in the heavens.

As for seeking rain...

Rather than worshipping the waters of the sky and the rain, the people of the rain tribe really worship the powerful power behind the "rain”, which is nothing more than a messenger of power, a stage for the "powerful and mysterious power” scene. Whoever asks for rain, they think they possess such power, and they worship it wholeheartedly.

However, it is unclear whether that power really exists and what it looks like to be powerful.
