Original War

Chapter 720

Seeing Guize coming in, the child in the stone jar grinned towards Guize, but because of the ulceration of his face, he looked more frightening than the people from the tribe, but his eyes were still crystallized. Bright, like sunlight reflecting off the sparkling sea.

As for Shao Xuan, he was reduced to a background board, and the child named Diandian just swept over him at random, and then didn’t look at it again, with the same attitude as watching other people.

“How do you feel today?” Gui Ze went over to take a closer look at the situation in the stone tank.

“Much better!”

The immature voice has not changed because of her condition. If she just listened to the voice, she would never have thought that her condition was so serious.

He Bian and the others who stood by looked nervously at Gui Ze. When the child looked down at the fish in the stone tank, Gui Ze shook his head towards He Bian and the others.

The look of expectation in Hebian and others dimmed suddenly, full of disappointment, and even more grief. Wu asked them to come here to find a solution, but if they can’t cure the disease when they come here, where should they go to find the answer? Or, the place Wu said is actually not here, but other places further upstream of the Yan River?

I heard that the stone bridge at Yanjiao was built only after it was moved here, instead of the original existence on the Yanhe River. Without this stone bridge, they would not be stopped, and this would not be the end.

The Dishan people who came over the past two days have also discussed in private, whether to leave or stay, there is still no final conclusion. Some people say that this is definitely not the place Wu said, they can’t waste time here, they should continue to go upstream. But the other half felt that it was here. After all, the people of Yanjiao had also said that there would be fewer tribes upstream, and only Yanjiao was the most powerful nearby.

He Bian was very upset, he couldn’t decide. After all, no matter which one he chose, if he chose the wrong one, there would be no chance for them to regret it, and it might even usher in the extermination of Dishan.

Maybe, should I ask a little bit?

He Bian looked over to the stone tank, still teasing the three fish in the stone tank, answering Guize’s questions from time to time.

Although she said she was much better, but compared to the feeling of suffering in the shells during the long journey, soaking in the stone tank, she can move freely, which is of course much better than when she is in the shells. But if you look at the condition of her body, you will find that the fester is more serious than when she just came out of the shell.

Shao Xuan squatted down, keeping his eyes level with the people inside, “I have a few questions to ask.”

After speaking, Shao Xuan looked at He Bian and the others at the door, with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at Shao Xuan with deep defensiveness. They could allow Guize, the witch and Diandian, to talk alone, but they were not allowed to do so, let alone. , Shao Xuan is still a man, who knows what will happen if he stays here?

Shao Xuan was not in a hurry, waiting for the person in the stone jar to decide. He knew that the child actually knew everything.

The movement of tapping the water in the stone tank slowed down, and he hung his head, as if he was thinking seriously. After a long while, he looked up at He Bian and the others, “He Bian stays, the others go out.”

Calling He Bian’s name directly, there is no respect from other tribes to the leader. People in Dishan don’t seem to think there is anything wrong with this. One can imagine the status of this child in Dishan, even if it’s just a scheduled next witch. , Even if she is now seriously ill, it has not affected her status.

He Bian wanted to persuade him again, but he also knew that once the person in the jar made a decision, it would be difficult to change, so he could only wave his hand to signal other people to go out and stay away, don’t even think about eavesdropping.

When there were only four people left in the room, Hebian closed the doors and windows. When Yanjiao built the house, the wood used was the kind of relatively sound-proof wood. For this reason, they compared many kinds of wood, and finally decided on one. Nowadays, Yanjiao is a kind of wood that grows in the forest and is commonly used to build houses.

The noise outside suddenly faded, and the room became quiet.

“Little bit, you have two totem powers in your body. That’s why you are sick. This also means that you Dishan tribe have two fires.”

In the quiet room, Shao Xuan’s calm tone was like a thunder, and He Bian froze there.

After regaining his senses, He Bian couldn’t help refuting, “How could there be two fires?! You are talking nonsense!”

When Shao Xuan asked him alone before, he also asked this question, but He Bian thought it was absurd at the time, he had no common sense, and it was nonsense, but now…

After He Bian finished yelling, he found that the little bit in the stone jar was still silent and did not refute.

He glanced back and forth over the person in the stone jar and Shao Xuan and Guize. He Bian’s mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the shock on his face was not concealed.

Seeing that the people in the stone jar were silent, Shao Xuan continued. “Another kind of fire, is it Diefish?”

Over there, He Bien, who was already shocked standing there, jumped up again by the news, but this time he didn’t yell again, but looked at the person in the stone jar for the first time.

The person in the stone jar looked up at Shao Xuan at this time, with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t expect Shao Xuan to know this.

Silent, but did not refute.

“It turned out to be…really?!” Hebian quivered his mouth, his slightly tanned face turned gray, although he knew something other people didn’t know, and he had a great feeling for Diyu. Complex, but never thought it would be like this.

Die fish has a kind of fire? !

How come they never noticed it?

Where is the tinder? !

It is unbelievable and completely surpassed their previous cognition.

Shao Xuan told Guize about this speculation before he came, and Guize was also shocked for a long time. Now I see a little bit of reaction, which confirms that Shao Xuan’s speculation is true.

Little by little, he looked back at the water in the stone tank and stretched his hand to the fish in the stone tank. “A long time ago, the ancestors of Dishan came to Dishan to establish the Dishan tribe with the help of Diyu. As a god-given thing, let the descendants of Dishan treat them with the same clan. If Dishan people die, the ancestors will give them to Diyu. The ancestors said that Diyu will take the tribe to a better place. .”

Yes, this is a story handed down from generation to generation of Dishan. Hebian was also brainwashed by this story since he was a child. They never doubted anything, because Diyu would indeed help them. When they lacked food, they would The octopus in the sea returns and throws it ashore. If the Dishan people are in danger in the sea, the fish will also help. And Dishanren will also help Diyu, and when Diyu is in trouble, Dishanren will try to help them.

This approach looks like a symbiosis of mutual benefit.

However, after He Bien took over as the leader, he saw different ideas from the notes of previous leaders, and most of them were left over in the past few hundred years. The opinions are different, but they can be summed up in one sentence, guard against Diyu, otherwise the Dishan tribe may be extinct.

In fact, the tribe had a similar condition a long time ago. Perhaps at that time, the ancestors of Dishan noticed something wrong, but the only person who knew the key was Wu. He Bien didn’t know why Wu kept hiding it. Maybe it was because he was confused, he felt disrespectful of this idea, or maybe it was for other reasons.

After all, the leader is not a witch. In the Dishan tribe, leaders like Hebian can still understand too little to know the truth.

Now, more and more people are sick, but most Dishan people have not connected this to Diyu. But now, what does this Yanjiao Elder say?

Die fish is actually the cause of this strange disease in their tribe? !

The person in the stone tank did not see the reaction of the other three in the house. While teasing the three fish in the water, they continued: “700 years ago, the first sick person from the Dishan tribe appeared and he was unable to heal him. I jumped into the sea of ​​Diyu Life, but was pushed ashore by Diyu. According to the ancestor’s handbook, a school of Diyu surrounded the person. After pushing him ashore, they did not leave for a long time until the person was not long. After he died, Diyu took him into the sea.”

He Bian’s eyelids jumped twice. He had heard those stories. Every time his elders and the people around him told this story, they still expressed gratitude and said that Diyuguo really protected them, even if they were sick. When they are so personal, they are still unwilling to bring them into the sea. Diyu is really good to Dishan people.

But now listening to it a little bit, there is always a kind of creepy feeling, He Bian heard a chill on his back. The bad premonition is getting stronger.

“After that, every few decades, the tribe will have such diseases again, and they are all children who have just awakened to the power of the totem. They are all incurable, and they die soon afterwards. The longest can’t be two years. The time interval between the onset of the disease is getting closer, and more and more people are getting sick. Until this time, the peak is reached. Wu said, Diyu has already begun to move, and their fire is strong enough…”

“Why didn’t you kill them if you knew the reason?! Kill them!” He Bian looked excited, the muscles on his face quivered, his eyes were fierce and crazy, and his expression turned hideous.

“It’s late. The two types of fire are already very difficult to separate. If you act rashly, it may trigger a frenzied counterattack from Diyu. After all, Diyu can go ashore. Moreover, under direct fighting, Dishan’s fire can also Will be severely damaged. Before coming out this time, Wu said that there is not enough time to either win or die, but before the end, Wu hopes that there will be other solutions.” The person in the stone jar looked down and stared. Fish inside.

He Bian thought of the ancestors of Dishan. They listened to the words handed down by their ancestors and accepted the indoctrinated thoughts since they were young. I was hesitating, wasting time, and waiting for the real decision, it was already too late.”For nearly a hundred years, the witch of Dishan has been looking for a solution, but still to no avail. This time, Wu said that he finally found a solution, which is to follow the big river near the tribe that connects with the sea until it can’t Forward.”

Talking a little bit and looking at He Bian, “Do you know how the totem of Dishan came from?”

He Bian shook his head with a face that was almost broken.

Little by little, he looked at Shao Xuan and the two, “borrow a pen to use it.”

Shao Xuan took out the brush and a blank piece of cloth he had been carrying with him. The pen barrel had been filled with paint. This was made by Shao Xuan, and he could write directly after pulling out the cap.

He looked at the pen in his hand little by little, and then leaned on the side of the stone jar, letting He Bian hold the cloth.

“At the beginning of the establishment of Dishan, the totem was like this.” A little bit on the position of Hebian’s left palm, he drew a weird human face, but it was different from the “囧” pattern that Shao Xuan saw with glasses.

As he continued to paint, Shao Xuan also discovered more different places. The fins and tails around the face accounted for a much smaller proportion.

After finishing the painting, Dian Dian continued on the position of the palm of He Bian’s right hand: “Now, the totem of Dishan looks like this.”

The second painting is similar to that of He Bian, and it was also seen by Shao Xuan on the big shell. The proportion of the human face is smaller, the face has more lines, and it is more weird, the proportion of the fins and tails is larger, and the other side of the face seems to have a few more strokes.

If you don’t have the first picture, it’s hard to find something wrong on the second one. Every generation of Dishan people knows totems, and most of the time they see them in sacrificial ceremonies and in the fire pond. They think that they need to remember. , The person who remembers wrong will correct it.

Without stopping, I pulled a little bit, and continued to paint after the second picture, “If this continues, the future totem will be like this.”

With the stroke of the third drawing, Hebian’s hands shook more severely.

I saw that on the third totem painting, the proportion of the human face was not much different from that of the second one. However, on the other side of the human face, Shao Xuan felt that there were a few more strokes, and now it is finally completed.

That is a fish mouth.

There is a fish tail on one side of the face, and a fish mouth on the other side. It looks like he swallowed that face.

“The totem of the Dishan tribe has changed from a’combined’ style to a’swallowing’ style!”

He Bian, who was holding the cloth, looked even more ugly at this time, a drop of sweat slipped from his forehead, and his voice was trembling, “They… are devouring the fire of Dishan!”
