Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Many people think that the patterns on cups and tripods are purely for looks, or to serve as a sign. Shao Xuan felt that way before, but the deeper he got in touch with these things, Shao Xuan realized that there are many mysterious things in them. .

Just like the cauldron in front of him, Shao Xuan thought that what the cauldron showed was all about the great exploits or other heroic deeds of a certain slave owner in Anba City, or recorded some memorable things, but when he Careful observation, only to find that there are many places that do not understand.

Yes, these words alone do contain some glorious history of Anba City. Although Shao Xuan cannot understand a few words in the above words, it does not affect his understanding of those words. Sings the words of the ancient Amba tribe, as well as a few congratulatory words. If it was just these, it would be fine, but the cloud patterns on the tripod that seemed to be decorations or backgrounds always gave Shao Xuan a very strange feeling.

There are many tribes who like this kind of cloud pattern, and the Hui tribes who came into contact with them also like to use the cloud pattern, probably because these swirling cloud patterns can not only be used as decorative fillings, but also have a complex and mysterious structure. Casual and varied. This moiré-patterned tripod has a more slender and complex moiré pattern on the top. Each moiré vortex is curled toward the center, some resemble cirrus clouds, some resemble flowing clouds, and the composition of numerous moiré patterns is not simple. The continuous overlapping structure of the two sides of the two sides is combined in a more natural way.

It is much more complicated than the moiré pattern used by the Hui tribe, and it is also the most complex yet most natural moiré pattern Shao Xuan has ever seen.

At first glance, this pattern is quite beautiful. Although it is not as attractive as the larger text on the tripod body, as long as you see those cloud patterns, you will be attracted to it. It was an indescribable sense of visual impact.

As ornaments, they serve their purpose, but is that really all there is to it?

Shao Xuan stared at the decoration on the tripod for a while. I want to copy those intricate and dense moiré patterns, but there is no paper around. It was too extravagant to use cloth, so Shao Xuan got up and went out, found some wide and long leaves, then painted some paint on the circle of clouds on the tripod body, and printed it with leaves to make the patterns Presented on the leaves, and then Shao Xuancai re-transcribed those cloud patterns on a piece of cloth.

Not only the cloud pattern on the tripod, but also on the three flat feet of the tripod. There are also cloud patterns, but unlike the slender and complex cloud patterns on the body of the tripod, the cloud patterns on the flat feet are thicker and more compact and concise.

Shao Xuan also printed the cloud patterns on the flat feet one by one, and then slowly studied them.

Zheng Luo said that the person who made this tripod was the box man, who liked to use cloud patterns, and, as far as Shao Xuan knew. Cloud pattern is one of the earliest patterns. It seems that every tribe that uses moire has a very long history.

The flame pattern of the flame horn was also born early.

It's just that in use, it is not as extensive as moiré, because moiré is balanced, has a sense of movement, and a sense of harmony, and overlapping patterns such as continuous two sides will not appear abrupt. It's just that the cloud pattern on the tripod cast by the boxer seems to contain more.

There is nothing to do, it's almost winter. Going out will also be reduced, and Shao Xuan will have more free time to study these.

After copying all the cloud patterns on the tripod body on the two pieces of cloth. Shao Xuan also went to Wu and asked about some of the older text usages here. only. Wu also doesn't know much about it. He can only see things hundreds of years ago from the records of his ancestors. However, the records passed down by the ancestors of Yanjiao are mostly written by Wu, and most of them are from the other side. text, not the native text here.

Unable to get the help he wanted from Wu, Shao Xuan could only think about it himself.

Thinking about these cloud patterns, Shao Xuan felt as if he had returned to the time when he was learning the epilogue. Everything in the world is full of order and rules. Whether it is beasts in the forest or people in various places, the physiological functions in the body are also functioning normally due to order.

People's perception of audio-visual, smell, taste and other perceptions and their own functions have long-term effects on the brain, which can have a subtle effect on people's creations, resulting in various arts and techniques. This sense of order is also on the created symbols and patterns. Fully reflected, such as the cloud pattern that Shao Xuan has seen now.

Much, but not messy.

The person who created such a complex and natural moiré pattern must have also pursued a sense of balance and order in his creation, so that this kind of moiré pattern on the body of the tripod can be produced.

So, under the order, what does such a complex combined cloud pattern represent?

Shao Xuan stared at those cloud patterns for a day, but couldn't see anything. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan went to the forest to pick up some leaves. The leaves that fell on the ground have turned yellow, but not withered. The leaves are relatively wide, and each leaf is larger and thicker than the palm of an adult.

After picking up the leaves, they are pressed and dried, and stored for later use.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also made a square sand table. The sand table is not deep, about one square meter, and some fine sand was screened in it. Shao Xuan took a branch and drew in the sand table.

The complex moiré patterns combined seemed too difficult. Shao Xuan tried to divide the moiré patterns into several pieces, drew them in the sand table, and separated them. And each time one is dismantled, the dismantled single cloud pattern is drawn on a leaf.

It took five days for Shao Xuan to dismantle the cloud pattern on the tripod, but it was still a little dismantling. I don't know if it was right or not, and there was no correction. Because there was no comparison, no one told Shao Xuan what was right or wrong. Art is exaggerated and rendered, and the artistry of the pattern makes it much more difficult for Shao Xuan to dismantle.

After thinking about it for five days in a row, except for eating and drinking, all the time was devoted to dismantling. When he finally finished painting the last cloud pattern, Shao Xuan was also tired. He ate a large pot of mountain fruit boiled broth with dark circles under his eyes. After a good night's sleep, he walked out of the room.

Although the sun outside was not as bright as before, it was a bit dazzling for Shao Xuan, who had been in the house for five days.

After regaining his senses in a trance, Shao Xuan planned to go to other places down the mountain to relax his nerves. It may not be beneficial to be tense all the time. Maybe he can get some inspiration by walking around.

The weather has cooled down a lot recently, and almost every day can feel the temperature difference from the previous day.

Looking into the distance from the mountain, I could still see a lot of yellowed bushes five days ago, but now they are much sparser.

The people who went out to trade recently came back, not only the people who went out to Anba City to trade with Dokang, but also those who went to other tribes to trade, cloth silk fabrics or other things.

Some of the hunting meat was hung outside to dry. Walking down the road, Shao Xuan saw that there were many heads of beast-legged beasts hanging on the door of every house.

Seeing a familiar figure, Shao Xuan shouted, "Lighting, what are you doing?"

He was holding the light that he was walking into the house with his head sullen. Hearing the sound, he looked in the direction of Shao Xuan, and said happily, "Shao Xuan...Elder!"

Shao Xuan looked at the various fruits wrapped in large leaves by the lighting. These are the kinds that are rarely eaten in the tribe, and asked, "What are these for? Make soup?"

Some fruits are not eaten directly, and the tribesmen use them as condiments to make soup.

"No, this is for those tapirs." Speaking of this lighting, his face turned red.

Shao Xuan remembered that when he was hunting, he brought back a litter of tapirs, both large and small, in a net bag for the child to raise.

"Where's your brother? Not at home?" Shao Xuan glanced around the room, but saw no adults.

"Chopping wood with the others."

Lighting took Shao Xuan to see the tapirs he raised. The little tapir is bigger than when Shao Xuan brought it back, and the hair is thicker.

Seeing Shao Xuan coming, they all squeezed towards the mother mold, big and small nesting in the corners where the branches and withered grass were piled up.

"It's very energetic, and it's well raised. If you grow up, you can eat it." Shao Xuan looked at the tapirs and said.

"Xiaobi's mother said that these tapirs will grow faster after winter. They eat less in winter and grow slowly." Thinking of something, Lighting said to Shao Xuan happily, "But when they grow up, I will I won't eat it either."

"Why?" Shao Xuan wondered. Don't these little brats often drool at captive beasts? Why don't you eat it again?

Lighting smiled and showed his white teeth, but did not speak, but, on his face, there were some faint lines, and the lines were gradually deepening, not as fast as Shao Xuan and the others, but it was indeed steadily deepening.

"Totem pattern?!" Shao Xuan was surprised, and then smiled: "Congratulations, you are about to become a totem warrior."

Although he had heard others say it before, it was the first time that Shao Xuan saw tribesmen who were not awakened in the sacrificial ceremony. Perhaps, this was the difference brought about by the disappearance of the fire. The fire has been integrated into the blood of every Yanjiao person. As long as they reach the threshold of awakening, the power of fire in the blood can help them wake up at any time without waiting for the sacrificial ceremony.

As for the "don't eat tapir beasts" that Lighting said, of course, it is because after becoming a totem warrior, you can eat some higher-level beasts, such as beasts.

It's not a loss if you can't eat it after raising it, but you can exchange it with other people for something else.

After turning around at the foot of the mountain, Shao Xuan was called up the mountain by Guangyi who was carrying a large bundle of firewood.

Before, because Shao Xuan never went out, he looked like he was busy with something, and everyone didn't bother him. Now that Shao Xuan came out to hang out, he called up the mountain to talk.

After getting along for a long time, the face-blind Guang Guang finally had an impression of Shao Xuan. Even if Shao Xuan's face was still blurred, he could recognize Shao Xuanlai as long as he saw the bone ornament that Shao Xuan was wearing.

"Winter is coming, Wu said that snow will start to fall within three days, and the leader is discussing the winter hunting for the past two days." Guangyi said to Shao Xuan.

Generally speaking, when the winter starts here, there will be no heavy snowfall, and the tribe will organize a hunting, and when it snows heavily, they will not go out.

After going up the mountain, Duokang asked Shao Xuan if he would go for the winter hunting. Winter hunting has the dangers of winter and not everyone is suitable for winter hunting.

"I'll go hunting." Shao Xuan said. He also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt better prey and make a sacrificial animal costume to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

The winter here is not too long. After the winter is over, there will be the most important sacrificial ceremony of the year. This is also the first sacrificial ceremony that Shao Xuan attended here. (To be continued)
