Lin Xiao did not go over to talk to Lei. Whether it was to comfort or encourage him, it was not appropriate to say it at this time.
After all, only a few people can become totem warriors. Whether they can become totem warriors is not something he can say, nor can he succeed with just a few more encouragements.
He slept until midnight, and vaguely heard the voices of several people. He vaguely opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the window of the house. On the window were hung simple blinds made by Lin Xiao with bamboo slices, and he could vaguely see the light. See the situation outside the house.
At this time, the flames outside the house have not extinguished, Lei and Lie have not rested yet, and there are two equally young ronin beside them, these two people are Yang and Sang. These four people are sitting quietly next to the flames. , looking at the flames in trance.
The moment the burning flames burned the branches, sparks exploded.
Lei looked at Yang and Sang, who were also sitting by the fire. The unpleasantness between them had long passed. It was as if no one remembered it. They sat together and whispered about the blood and fire memorial ceremony. , talking about the blood and fire memorial ceremony, they were excited and looking forward to it.
"Have you ever participated in a blood and fire ceremony?" Lei asked in a low voice.
Brothers Sang and Yang shook their heads at the same time, "This is also our first time this year."
"Oh." Lei was a little disappointed. He had never participated in the blood and fire ceremony. He only knew that before the day of the blood and fire ceremony, the sky above the Bahrain tribe would become as red and hot as blood and fire.
…
The firelight outside could only be barely seen in the room. The room was pitch dark, and the mechanical watch Lin Xiao placed on the bedside made a "click", "click" sound as the second hand rotated.
He turned his back to the window of the room and could still hear the whispers of several little guys.
They were still nervously discussing the blood and fire ceremony they would attend tomorrow.
…
The next afternoon €€€€
Lin Xiao and the other three had just finished lunch when they met several Bahraini children, who were old enough to participate in the blood and fire ceremony.
This includes Ge. Today's Ge is a little different. As for why Lin Xiao could find it, it was because it was too obvious.
These Bahraini children who are dirty every day not only don't smell bad today, but even their usually frizzy hair seems to have been cleaned and looks much smoother. There are a few little braids on the head, like The little dreadlocks on the head of the Bahrain witch.
After Lin Xiao noticed it, he was a little surprised, smiled and said, "Ge, you look much cleaner today."
Ge heard Lin Xiao's words and replied obediently: "Today Wu Zhu asked all us Bahrain children to take a bath, and also gave us new clothes."
As he spoke, Ge pointed to the animal skin around his waist. In order to show off his new animal skin, Ge turned around, obviously showing off to Lin Xiao.
The animal skin on Ge's body was pure brown. Lin Xiao couldn't tell what kind of animal skin it was, but the production process was good. The animal skin was also tied with fine hemp ropes. Looking over it, every child in the Bahrain tribe was wearing it. Wearing similarly treated animal skins.
"Ge, look, the door is occupied!" a child exclaimed.
Because of Lin Xiao, Zhan has a very good relationship with the Bahraini children in the tribe. After all, all the Bahraini children are his followers.
Zhan came out and angrily asked, "Where have you been?! I have been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you!"
"We were taken out to take a shower!" Ge Xiangzhan explained.
He groaned and then said: "I found the thing you asked me to find for you, but I can't carry it by myself. You can come to my house to get it later."
"Thank you Azhan!" When several Bahraini children heard Zhan's words, a smile suddenly flashed in their eyes, and they were obviously very happy.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Because it was Lin Xiao who asked, Zhan immediately replied: "They said they wanted the teeth and feathers of beasts for decoration. I found some feathers and animal bones at home and planned to give them to them to decorate for the memorial ceremony tonight! "
"So that's it," Lin Xiao nodded, "Then you go quickly."
"Um!"
Several Bahraini children ran towards the tribe, laughing all the way.
Today, all the people of the Bahrain tribe are in the tribe, and no one leaves. Outside the Bahrain tribe, the wanderers are also looking forward to this day.
Obtain totems and join new tribes. Only in this way can they escape from their current precarious life.
The sky was getting dark, and when he noticed the fires gradually burning in the Bahrain tribe, Lin Xiao realized that the blood and fire ceremony was about to begin.
Walking towards the Bahrain tribe, Lin Xiao, Lei and Lie successfully passed through the gate of the Bahrain tribe and walked into the tribe. In addition to the Ronin, there were also people from the Bahrain tribe. These people in the Bahrain tribe were wearing their best clothes. He wears animal skin clothes, animal bones and feathers on his head, braided hair, and an animal tooth necklace around his neck.
As for the totem warriors, they don't have any decorations, because the totem patterns on their bodies are the best decoration.
Lin Xiao noticed that these totem warriors were gathering towards their destination one after another. They mobilized the power of the totem, and the totem text on their arms spread outwards, and strange patterns extended out of the body along the totem pattern.
If this were placed in modern times, they would just be a group of tattooed killers, but here they are representatives of strength and totem warriors.
Totem is something beyond Lin Xiao's cognition. Of course, Lin Xiao no longer talks about believing in science every day. He looks at the people coming and going and clearly realizes that he is indeed living in the primitive wilderness era.
Naturally, there are also women among the totem warriors. These female totem warriors are equally powerful, but they will not take off their clothes like these totem warriors just to reveal those totem patterns.
The female totem warriors who participated in the blood and fire ceremony also wore animal skins on their upper bodies. There were many small holes in the animal skins, which were strung together with hemp ropes like shoelaces. They were worn like modern vests, exposing their navel, which was very special. Of wild colors.
One of the female totem warriors happens to be wearing a small leopard print vest, and she has a hot figure. The most important thing is that this female warrior has a cold aura of "Don't get close to me". She is simply a A wild little leopard.
Lin Xiao noticed that many totem warriors were looking at her. Obviously, this female warrior should be the dream lover of many warriors.
Lin Xiao looked away and continued walking towards the center of the Bahrain tribe. He found that there were about 800 people in the Bahrain tribe, but there were less than 80 totem warriors. He thought to himself: The chance of becoming a totem warrior is really very low.
As we walked closer to the center of the tribe, the people of the Bahrain tribe no longer chatted casually as before, but became quiet one after another.
Lin Xiao saw a stone about the size of a palm, which should be the so-called grain stone.
The best place for a blood and fire memorial ceremony is near the patterned stone. The patterned stone is placed in a circular pit. There are several teenagers around the pit. The circular pit is the best location for the blood and fire ceremony. .
Lin Xiao lowered his voice and asked Lei to go over. Lei looked at the position of the pattern stone and looked at Lin Xiao with some hesitation, "A Xiao, why don't you go!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, "Didn't we already agree before? Go quickly, don't delay."
Lei Wenyan nodded and walked over. Unlike those young people who were dressed up, Lei looked a little shabby when he stood there. Those young people gave Lei a strange look, but they didn't say anything because Wu Zhu came over at this time. .
No one around him spoke. Their eyes fell on Wu Zhu and they looked respectfully at the middle-aged uncle with dreadlocks.
Bahrain Wu Zhu was obviously dressed up carefully. He was covered in an animal skin with many colorful feathers, and the whole person looked like a birdman falling from the sky.
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, he really couldn't compliment this middle-aged man's aesthetics.
…
The blood and fire ceremony began, and the people who participated in the ceremony gathered around the patterned stone, and the shamans began to chant, praise, and praise the ancestral god who protected them.
The wild and wild colors made Lin Xiao feel a little dazed. As one of the people participating in the blood and fire sacrifice, he stood outside. He clearly felt that he was participating in a strange and grotesque sacrifice.
Witch chanting.
Lin Xiao couldn't understand what this old magician was singing. Since there was no unscientific stuff yet, Lin Xiao was still very calm.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao heard the sound of rushing water. Where did the water come from?
Lin Xiao was thinking about it when he suddenly discovered that the blood was flowing out from the veined stone, and then the blood spread outward.
As Bahrain Wuzhu continued to chant, the blood seemed to boil for an instant, and then the blood suddenly ignited with flames.
Ge, who was also standing on the periphery to participate in the blood and fire ceremony, felt the changes in his body. He saw the totem text emerging on his arm. He couldn't help but be ecstatic. He had a totem text, and he was also a totem warrior! The Ancestral God chose him!
Unsure, Ge lowered his head and looked at the totem text on his arm again to confirm again.
As an orphan, Ge was pleasantly surprised. He felt that his whole body was full of power, inexhaustible power!
And Lin Xiao... I'm sorry, I didn't feel anything, I just felt a little hot. In addition, I felt that the flame was magical and actually didn't hurt anyone! This goes against science at all, doesn't it?
No, no, in fact, since he traveled through time, everything has gone against science!
The blood fire is still burning, and while it is burning, a Bahrain totem made of sparks appears above the patterned stone!
"Bahrain lives forever!"
"Bahrain lives forever!"
After the blood and fire memorial ceremony, the flame did not disappear. This flame will burn until dawn.
Bahrain Wu Zhu noticed from the beginning that Lin Xiao had not succeeded. Any one of the people participating in the memorial ceremony might suddenly activate the power of the totem. This kind of randomness is unpredictable. The only thing he can be sure of is that the closer he gets to the grain stone. The more likely a person is to become a totem warrior.
"There are quite a few people who have gained the power of totem this year. There are more than twenty. Not bad, not bad!" He couldn't help but say after seeing the tribesmen awakening to the power of totem.
"Our tribe will become stronger and stronger." Bahrain Wu Zhu laughed and the old god said.
After saying a few words to the leader, he held his cane and waited for him to look for Lin Xiao again, but he couldn't find Lin Xiao.
After Balin Wu Zhu searched for a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. It seemed that Lin Xiao was deeply hit. However, it was within his expectation that Lin Xiao did not obtain the power of the totem. The reason why he asked Lin Xiao for a close tattoo Shi's position was because he was not optimistic about Lin Xiao.
It's just that he didn't expect Lin Xiao to give this opportunity to Lei, it's just a pity...
…
Under the night, the sound of people talking and laughing came from the Bahrain tribe, and the wanderers who left relatively felt lonely and lonely.
Lin Xiao looked at Lei who was walking in front of him silently.
Lei stood close to the patterned stone, but he had not gained the power of the totem. At this time, Lei was walking quickly in front, obviously in a bad mood. He kicked the stone with his feet, and he could not tell that he was irritated.
If that position is given to Ah Xiao, maybe Ah Xiao will succeed! As a result, this spot was wasted for nothing.
He had just noticed that there were only nineteen people who could get close to the pattern stone, and among these nineteen people, except for him and a young man, the other seventeen people had successfully obtained the totem pattern.
Apart from them, there are only four or five people outside who can ignite the power of the totem.
Lin Xiao and Lie were walking behind. Seeing Lei hammering the stones on the roadside with his hands, Lin Xiao frowned. Lie on the side was directly frightened by his elder brother. He tightly grabbed the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes. , "Axiao, I'm scared."
Lin Xiao patted Lie on the head and said softly: "Let your brother vent his emotions for a while. We will go over and talk to him later."
"Yeah!" Lie grabbed the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes and nodded obediently.
Lei punched the stone wall with his hands. Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, but Lin Xiao knew that Lei had to accept it slowly. Lei had not had the opportunity to participate in the blood and fire memorial ceremony before. The two brothers' expectations for this matter They are all very big, and it is obvious that such a result cannot be accepted for a while.
After Lei finished venting, Lin Xiao slowly walked over with Lie in hand. He patted Lei on the shoulder and took the half-year-old child home with him.
After returning home, Lin Xiao helped Lei clean the injury on his right hand caused by hammering a stone, and wiped away the blood with the cloth strip left before. The three of them did not speak during the whole process.
Finally, Lin Xiao poked Lei's wound with his hand, causing the boy to gasp in pain. Then Lin Xiao let go and said, "Do you feel the pain? Will you dare to torture yourself like this in the future?"
Lei let out a cry of pain. After nodding, he finally said to Lin Xiao: "Axiao, if I had known this was the case... you shouldn't have given me the spot. If you were standing in that position, maybe Success. Will you regret it?"
Lei felt uncomfortable, not only disappointed with himself, but also deeply worried.
Lin Xiao glared, "What are you thinking about?"
"I..." Lei didn't know how to answer for a moment. He had many, many things to say, but he didn't know how to say them. Will Lin Xiao and Lie be disappointed with him... His heart was filled with the kind of feeling he had for himself. The feeling of disappointment is even more obvious after failure.
"Do you think I regret it now?" Lin Xiao interrupted him, and then said, "Look at your brother, his little eyes are about to cry, but I tell you, he is not disappointed with you, but because worry about you."
Lie agreed with Lin Xiao's words and nodded crazily.
"So what if we don't awaken the power of the totem? Don't we still have meat to eat every day?" Lin Xiao smiled, "Why do you want to become a totem warrior?"
"In order to fill his stomach and not be bullied." Lei replied naturally after a moment.
Lin Xiao: "We have done it. Not only do we have meat to eat, we also beat up the totem warriors of the Suchar tribe a few days ago!"
Lei scratched his head, what A Xiao said seemed to make sense!
He had always wanted to become a totem warrior because he wanted Lie and himself to be well fed and clothed. After they picked up A Xiao, they had been living a well fed and clothed life... Sometimes there was too much meat, It's not easy to store, so I need to replace it with something else!
"Have you figured it out?" Lin Xiao looked at him and asked.
When Lei heard Lin Xiao's question, he nodded heavily, "I understand."
"Really?" Lin Xiao asked, wanting to be sure.
Lei touched his injured right hand with his left hand and said seriously: "Really!"
Seeing that he answered so readily, Lin Xiao smiled, nodded slightly and said, "That's good."
"Totem is truly magical." Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced at the sky of Bahrain. At this moment, the sky was blazing red, and the blood and fire were still burning.
"Well," Lei glanced back, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "When my father and mother just died, Lie and I were often bullied by the wanderers around us. At that time, I fantasized every day that I could ignite the power of the totem. As long as a ronin bullies me and I show my totem, they will immediately admit defeat and give me back everything they took from me."
When Lin Xiao heard Lei's words, he was startled, and a thunder flashed in his head.
Totems look similar to tattoos. As long as you don't use your power, no one will know whether they are true or false. Just put one on your body and reveal it when you meet those ronin. It's so easy to deal with them! It can help them solve a lot of unnecessary troubles!
"Pa!" Lin Xiao clapped his hands suddenly, startling the two brothers.
Lin Xiao: "Damn it, why didn't I think of that! Lei, let me get you a tattoo!"
