Chapter 228 Blessing
"Welcome to the two envoys!"
The leader of the Yuan tribe actually speaks Daxia language, but it sounds awkward.
He half-kneeled on the ground and looked up at Jiang Shang and Haishan.
Jiang Shang remained cold and sat in the position where the noble people specially prepared for them by Yuan Tribe.
It was a high platform similar to a tower whistle, covered with ferocious beasts' fur, decorated with snow-white teeth as thick as thighs, and comfortable seats.
Haishan nodded, stood up and said:
"Let's get started."
On the other side, the great witch of the tribe first knelt down in the direction of Jiang Shang, then stood up, wearing various feathers and painted oil painted heads began to shake left and right.
He raised his hands, recited the words of sacrifice that Jiang Shang could not understand, and danced around a huge pool of blood, and the instrument made of bones on his body was ringing constantly.
The wizard's figure is thinner than that of a normal adult barbarian, about three meters tall, but when he was dancing, all the barbarians fell to him.
About half an hour later, the Great Witch's movements slowed down a little.
Obviously, although this dance is a bit messy, it is also very physically exhausting.
After hearing this, he began to cheer and pray in the direction of Jiang Shang, then knelt down several times and stood up, excitedly saying something to the tribe people.
Then everyone cheered.
Barbarian women walked out from behind like glorious warriors, and they all held a little tiger-like child in their arms.
Then, under the guidance of the great witch, they threw the child into the pool of blood.
Some people threw down various medicinal materials into the blood pool, and some people burned fire, causing bubbles to pop out of the blood pool quickly.
Jiang Shang asked Haishan: "What are they doing? Eat children?"
His expression is not very good-looking.
Although the barbarians are aliens, they seem to have wisdom and initial culture, and still maintain this tradition of cannibalism, which makes him feel a little disgusted.
Even if a person is a beast, he will not do such things unless he has to.
Haishan smiled and said, "Don't worry, little master, with the intervention of his master, there is still enough food. The barbarians have long lost the bad habit of eating people and changed to sky burial or cremation.
This is not eating children, but a special baptism method in their tribe.
They believed that if the children of the tribe were baptized by the divine messengers, they would be blessed by God and would be stronger and healthier than other children."
"But in fact, these children who can be baptized on the day we arrive are all children from the middle and upper levels of the tribe, and the blood pool medicinal materials they use are the highest.
Naturally, children who are baptized will be stronger and healthier than other children.”
"But the people of other tribes will feel that it is indeed the blessing of the Barbarian God, and their belief in the Barbarian God is stronger."
Jiang Shang: "..."
Who said that these barbarians are stupid? They are not quite smart?
Sure enough, even if it is a primitive tribe, the class will always exist.
The children of the Warriors are still warriors, and the children of civilians are still civilians.
soon.
There was a child in the blood pool who couldn't stand the pain, and jumped out like a fat duck.
There was no joy and excitement on his face, but a hint of panic.
A stronger and tall barbarian in the crowd walked out, scolded the child a few times, then showed a sad look on his face, picked him up, and raised him to show it to the surrounding barbarians.
The human feelings cheered, as if they were blessings to children.
Then a barbarian woman took the child away, with a sad look on her face.
Haishan explained:
“In the process of baptism, the longer you persist, the more benefits you get.
This barbarian child has been staying for such a short time and obviously has poor physical condition.
Although his father was a barbarian warrior, with his foundation, he probably would not be able to inherit his father's warrior position in the future."
Although parents can give their younger generations a better starting point, it is useless if they cannot do it.
Unexpectedly, seeing a barbarian ritual ceremony reminded him of sociology.
Jiang Shang felt that he was also a fool.
He asked, "When will this ceremony end? Where is the tribe prepared for us?"
Haishan said: "Don't worry, little master, let's sit here for a while.
Generally, the ceremony will be held for about two hours. At that time, under the blessing of the tribe's great witch, the three hundred strongest warriors in the tribe will be selected, and five hundred adult barbarians will be selected as the guards of the caravan.
At that time, the tribe leader will follow the team in person and he will speak Daxia dialect, so the little master will just give him any instructions.
However, when selecting the Warriors, the little master needs to show his strength, it is better to be more gorgeous."
Speaking of this, he whispered:
"The barbarians fear power but not virtue. The stronger the little master will be, the more obedient they will be."
Jiang Shang glanced at the barbarian leader who was two stories high on the side. He looked at the ceremony with a expressionless face, but there was no doubt that he heard them just now.
"May I have your name?"
Jiang Shang asked the barbarian leader beside him.
The leader of the barbarian tribe was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he called himself.
He quickly replied, "My Lord God, my name is Yuan Man."
Haishan explained in time: "This name is the highest honor of the Barbarian tribe. Yuan is the surname of the master, and Man is their clan name.
Only the most powerful warrior deserves this name.
After he abdicates, Yuan Man's name will become the code name for the next leader."
Jiang Shang nodded and asked:
"Yuan Man, we took so many people away, how should your tribe live?"
Yuan Man said proudly:
"Please rest assured that all of us barbarians are warriors. Even if we take away the most powerful warriors in the tribe, the remaining people will not be afraid of any danger in the jungle.
In our Yuan tribe, even a child who is only eight years old dares to fight with the tiger and leopard head-on!"
Jiang Shang won't ask more questions.
With such a powerful talent, he was almost destroyed in the Wanjue Mountains. Obviously, it was really dangerous inside.
They watched the baptism ceremony quietly.
The one who came out at the end was about 1.5 meters tall, with blood rising all over his body, comparable to a barbarian bear. Compared with a warrior at the eighth and nineth level of acquired celestial beings, it is not even worse.
According to Yuan Man, the child is named Shi Tou, and he is only four years old.
Next is the Warriors' selection.
That's right, although the escort caravan is very dangerous, the loss rate is one quarter higher.
But this is the will of the barbarian god, and almost no one is afraid of it, but they all have the strongest strength.
Jiang Shang even saw several eliminated adult barbarians hiding in the corner and crying secretly.
In this regard, Jiang Shang could only secretly sigh at the power of religious brainwashing.
By the time the selection was completed, it was already dark.
The tribe lights a tall bonfire.
The surging flames were like a beating fire dragon, illuminating half of the night sky.
Yuan Man knelt in front of Jiang Shang and said:
"Please bless God!"
Haishan also nodded to him, and Jiang Shang knew it was time for him to take action.
Chapter completed!
