Chapter 272 Important things

Why did the ancestors of the tribe put so many boxes here? It was more than a day or two away from the tribe. If there were no dangers in the mountains and forests, it would not be a long distance, but there were so many obstacles between the mountains and forests. Of course, Shao Xuan came all the way, and even a thousand years ago, there would not be too much difference.

Shao Xuan walked over with a torch, and the boxes were tied with some straw ropes, probably so that the lid would not fall off during transportation. However, after careful look, it was obvious that the binding techniques used for several boxes were more complicated, and even the straw ropes used for binding were different. The tied straw ropes were tied into knots one by one, and they were applied one by one with different pigments. The knots tied in the center were the symbol of the witch.

As for the others, the straw ropes used are relatively ordinary, but it cannot be said that the things contained in these boxes are definitely not important. What can be transported here by ancestors must have important reserved value.

Shao Xuan planned to look at the special boxes with knots first. However, he found that the knots were difficult to untie, and the ropes were very strong, not as if they had been left for a long time, and their toughness was still there.

Cut off? Burn off?

Forget it. If the tribe people know, they will definitely have an objection, thinking that he is disrespectful to his ancestors.

Putting the boxes with complicated knots aside, Shao Xuan turned to look at the other few who had ordinary binding techniques. He raised his hand to untie the knot, but Shao Xuan just touched them with his hands, and the straw ropes tied to the box were broken, and the broken mouth was broken into powder.

This is true when pinching the straw ropes on other places. Perhaps because of the time it took too long, these straw ropes have lost their original toughness and are no longer strong.

The above-mentioned denseness is high and the ropes used are different. Now the density of these is low, so Shao Xuan has no pressure to see what is inside the box.

When Shao Xuan opened the box, he saw many animal skin rolls neatly placed inside.

Shao Xuan picked up one and opened it to take a look. This one records some things that happened in the Yanjiao tribe in a certain year, such as harvest, disputes, etc.

I picked up another one, which records various wars of all sizes between the Yanjiao tribe and other tribes in a certain year. It also involved several tribes familiar to Shao Xuan, such as the Thousand Face Tribe, the Weiba Tribe, etc. The several central tribes known to Shao Xuan are basically recorded.

In the past, the Yanjiao tribe was so attractive to hate?

But soon, after looking through other animal skin scrolls, Shao Xuan found that his guess was wrong. It was not that the Yankee attracted hatred, but that in that era, everyone was particularly prone to attracting hatred. According to the records in these animal skin scrolls, the tribes were not as peaceful as they are now.

Perhaps for tourists, life outside is already very difficult now, especially those resting places around the market, where the traveling teams of various tribes fight every day, and then the fish in the pond are affected.

However, compared with the ones on the animal skin roll, it is really nothing. Now, at best, it is just a conflict between the long-distance team, but what is recorded in the animal skin roll is a large-scale conflict between tribes. It is a small fight every three days and a big fight every ten days, which is like eating.

Don't like it? Beat it!

Want to someone? Grab it!

What good things do you see? Grab it again!

Everything depends on strength. If you can beat it, you can rob it directly. If you can't beat it, you can rob it secretly. If you can rob it secretly, you can only give up. If you don't give up, you will be beaten and killed.

It can be said that once, the survival of small tribes was extremely difficult. According to the records above, many small tribes were destroyed.

The middle part is even more chaotic. Because there are many large tribes, wars start every few days. Today you raided my team, and tomorrow I will destroy your entire group of soldiers outing!

Even the Mang tribe and Weiba tribe that Shao Xuan always thought were good neighbors and close partners, which he worked closely together, were like enemies before. Not to mention that a bamboo from the Mang tribe appeared on the border of the Weiba tribe, even if a onion that did not belong to his own tribe appeared, Weiba people would have to pull them out.

As long as all spiders and other things that the Weiba tribe entered the Mang tribe were found and not released, they were either slaughtered or eaten. Spiders were not delicious? It’s okay, as long as they see the Weiba people unhappy, they would eat happily!

There is a volume of notes of which Wu himself. It is not so solemn and has a lot of evil tastes. It also writes a lot of scandals from other tribes, such as whose corners were dug up, who was cuckolded, and who was squeezed out of the position of leader by his brothers... The texts are slightly exaggerated, revealing gossip and excitement. Wu is not as serious as the old man now.

A family of hatred can easily turn into a tribal hatred. For such an era, war comes too easily. The Yanjiao people's physique and dominant power value made many people angry and gave others a lot of impressions of being rough and arrogant. However, Shao Xuan could see from these recorded words that the pride and pride of people, no matter which one of them records, most of them were like this. As one of the former strong men, Yanjiao did have the capital of pride and arrogant.

It is hard to imagine that the chaotic environment at that time has become much more stable now. Although it still looks full of all kinds of barbaric violence and killing, it is really a very different story compared to what is recorded on these animal skin scrolls.

Why do tribes that were disliked by each other live peacefully now? When Shao Xuan followed the long journey team, he also inquired, but he didn't know that for a longer time, no major war has occurred in the past two or three hundred years. Except for the Wanshi tribe who always harassed those small tribes, no other major tribe in the central region really went to war with each other.

Speaking of Wanshi Tribe, Shao Xuan has only seen the name of Wanshi Tribe on two animal skin scrolls, and the recorded witch predicts that its tribe will disappear within five hundred years. But in fact, this tribe, which is more unreasonable and cruel and aggressive than the Yanjiao Tribe, has survived to this day and has become one of the large tribes in the central region.

Among the major tribes, abandon past grudges, let go of hatred, and not talk about peaceful coexistence. At least it seems that there is a cooperative relationship, which can make them change like this. Shao Xuan only thought of the most likely answer. They have a common enemy, and this enemy scares them. It is not enough to be alone in one or two tribes, so they have to join them.

Yanjiao Tribe? Not that even though Yanjiao Tribe was indeed strong, it was not as powerful as these tribes to be afraid of so long.

Another thing that made Shao Xuan strange was that there was no record of slave owners. At that time, there were also prisoners who would drag the defeated people back to do things, but there was indeed no record of slave owners, and none of them were.

In addition to these, Shao Xuan flipped through several other boxes with unsolid straw ropes and learned a lot of information. It was not entirely a war between tribes, but included various aspects, such as records related to farming and animal husbandry.

The Yanjiao tribe, a thousand years ago, was also mainly hunting. After all, close to the mountains and forests, most of the food was taken directly from the mountains and forests, but there were also plantings, just like the murals that Shao Xuan saw at the time, including planting, breeding, and picking... These records are all on this. Perhaps there are some of the witches in the tribe now, but Shao Xuan believes that the records here are much more detailed than those in the witches' hands.

Thinking about it, when the ancestors of Yanjiao left their hometown, they mainly wanted to escape. There were naturally not many records about planting and breeding on them. Perhaps they didn’t take them with them when they left, because when the ancestors left, they did not expect to leave for so long. The records in the hands of the witch might be just written by those who left later based on their own experience.

There were too many animal skin rolls in the box, and it was inconvenient for Shao Xuan to hold the torch inside to see it. He was worried that the torch would damage these animal skin rolls, so he moved the box to the entrance of the cave, and then the lights at the entrance of the cave were opened one by one.

Shao Xuan did not doubt the authenticity of these. Those who recorded these were all witches. On some animal skin scrolls that recorded important things, there were some seemingly meaningless words at the beginning. These actually belong to the language of witches. Whether some things need to be recorded, if there is a conflict within the tribe, the decision will be given to the fire and totem. These seemingly meaningless words are actually a more solemn tone, indicating that these were decided by everyone or through sacrifices, without any fraud.

In addition to farming, fishing, hunting, animal husbandry, there are also handicrafts, astronomical phenomena, construction, medicine, war, political life and daily life, etc. Although many of the records are vague and cannot be described in detail, it can be seen that the tribe was not proficient in this at that time. For example, there were many records in astronomy and handicrafts, which could only be considered immature. However, seeing so many records still shocked Shao Xuan.

What is important for the Yankee Tribe?

Fire crystals? Various crystal coins that act as wealth? Or other precious stones?

No, none of them! In fact, all of these have to be ranked behind.

The more I learned, Shao Xuan also knew what he valued for the witches in this tribe.

The first thing in a tribe is to understand their own clan members, origins, totems, etc.; the second is to include customizing clan rules, important marriage and funerals, supporting leaders, and deliberation systems. Major events are production, wars, sacrifices and other activities, which are undoubtedly content that witches need to record and pass on to future generations.

And these contents, in layman's terms, are what people call "history"!

In the values ​​of witches, the longer the "history" is, the longer the tribe exists, the more it can prove the strength of this tribe. As for why the "history" of Yanjiao is preserved here, perhaps, because it was not taken away and was worried about being in the old place, it was worried about being killed, so people brought it here to hide. After all, few other tribes dared to rush directly into the forest of ferocious beasts.

The people in the cave have died for a long time, and the only thing left behind is the power that Shao Xuan felt before. It was a devastating force for the invaders, but for this cave, it is like a guardian, unchanged for thousands of years. It is quietly guarding here, guarding the "history" of Yanjiao, and waiting for future generations to return.

However, what made Shao Xuan regret was that there were no detailed records of the fire seeds in the things he had seen. Perhaps, even longer-term things were sealed in the boxes that could not be opened.

Forget it, I will take it back when I am taking it back and let the witch open it and go to wizard to grind it. As long as it is not a shameful secret, the wizard should let him see it.
