Chapter 106 Changes in the Fire Tribe
It was freezing cold outside, but the nine-zhang-high totem fire in the Fire Tribe warmed the entire tribe, driving away the severe cold for the tribe members and protecting the Fire Tribe in the wind and snow.
The sixth-generation chief was very busy. Since his marriage, he has been committed to freeing the slaves from their slave status. This is bound to be a tough struggle.
The entire Fire Tribe has become accustomed to the life with slaves. Letting them lose these slaves is like suddenly losing an arm.
The stronger opposition came from the top leaders. Except for the sixth-generation witch and the great elder, all other high-level leaders opposed the action of the sixth-generation chief.
They even secretly united to fight against the decision of the Sixth Chief, but the alliance failed.
The Sixth Chief chose to compromise cleanly. This summer, he personally visited every senior leader, gave berries and meat, and admitted his wrong decision.
It is said that during that time, the Sixth Chief often cried, telling about the hardships of his life as a slave, the difficulties of slave life, and that he was soft-hearted, so he made this stupid decision.
Because of his compromise, many people softened their hearts. The Moon Totem witch, who liked hard steel the most, actually disbanded all her slaves directly, and the one who followed her to disband the slaves was actually his father, the Sixth Chief.
The situation changed for a while. The one who demanded the liberation of the slaves changed from the Sixth Chief to the Moon Totem Witch. Not only did the alliance collapse in an instant, but there was even internal strife.
At this time, the Sixth Chief jumped out again. He said that the tribe should not fight internally because of the slaves. Those who were liberated were absorbed into the Fire Tribe, and those who were not liberated were simply dispatched by the tribe.
As a result, these slaves changed from semi-private to pure public ownership, and once they entered the scope of public ownership, the decision-making power returned to the Sixth Chief.
He divided these slaves into two parts: one part was strong and could fight, and the other part was weak and could not fight.
He directly formed a hunting team for those who could fight, and enjoyed treatment almost no worse than that of the hunting team, while those who could not hunt became logistics personnel.
Making bows and arrows, storing berries, in short, they were freed from the heavy labor.
After a series of fights and battles, the slaves still existed on the surface, but in fact, the life of slaves was completely different from before.
The Japanese Totem Shaman couldn't figure out how things turned out like this, only the Fifth Xuan raised his thumb in the totem and praised the plan of the sixth-generation leader.
These plans were not something he figured out for no reason, but he learned them from asking the Sixth Generation Shaman every day and asking him to tell the stories of the Fourth Generation Shaman.
The source of these methods came from the Fifth Xuan. These were some of the methods he taught the Fourth Generation Shaman when he was teaching them, such as taking it slow to make things better and taking a step back to make a big step forward tomorrow.
In short, this kid is madly absorbing the knowledge of the past from various tribes. He will even explore the more distant history of the Fire Tribe, such as how to write the word "fire" and how to say the word "witch".
"What an exciting little bastard." Sometimes the Fifth Xuan would call him like this.
The Sixth Generation Chief not only changed the lives of slaves, he also reformed the Five Hundred People, shouted the slogans of the Five Thousand People, and let the Five Hundred People actively teach their experience to the tribal warriors.
He placed the Five Hundred People in a very high position, using high welfare and high privileges to attract more warriors to learn from them. After more than a year of hard work, the warriors of the Fire Tribe have really been comprehensively improved.
Today, people from the Fire Tribe and surrounding tribes almost all believe that the Sixth Generation Chief will be another heroic leader of the Fire Tribe and will surely lead the Fire Tribe to recreate glory.
As the Sixth Generation Chieftain became more and more popular, the Sixth Generation Shaman was surprisingly silent, and even had a tendency to become invisible. Fewer and fewer people paid attention to him, except for the Fifth Xuan.
The Fifth Xuan admired the Sixth Generation Chieftain's methods and recognized his abilities, but he was really not interested in his governance of the Fire Tribe.
He had no political experience in his previous life and had little interest in this aspect. In this life, he did think about this issue, and when he taught the Fourth Generation Shaman, there was a little political content infiltration, but he was asked to observe the Sixth Generation Chieftain's political life every day. Sorry, he was not interested.
On the contrary, the Sixth Generation Shaman, who was like an old man, made the Fifth Xuan couldn't help but pay attention to him every day.
He now gave up the luxurious life, moved out of the tall house, and chose to build a small room next to the altar and live here every day.
The mountain totem stone had long been made into a thick stone stick by him, but because Diwu Xuan stopped him from continuing to polish it, the stone stick finally looked a bit too big.
Diwu Xuan stopped him from continuing to polish it because the mountain totem stone told him that if he continued to polish it, his body would not be able to bear the totem power in his body, which would lead to the loss of the totem power.
Diwu Xuan had this feeling before, when he absorbed the totem power of the grass tribe, and the two powers filled his body.
His body is not big now, but he has never had this feeling. It may be that the totem stone polished from the shell is different, but it may also be due to the promotion of the spirit totem, or even related to the little turtle.
Because the stone stick was too thick, the sixth generation witch selected a warrior with a particularly strong body and trained him to fight with the stone stick.
He even asked the strong man to sacrifice the stone stick, hoping to make a weapon like the Tiger Spirit Knife. Unfortunately, he never succeeded. However, this inspired the fifth Xuan, and he also began to try to polish it.
The sixth generation witch used brute force to polish the mountain totem, but the fifth Xuan did not. He had the totem fire.
What he polished was the sun and moon totem stone.
He asked the little turtle to throw two small stones into the totem fire. The fifth Xuan controlled the totem fire every day to forge the sun and moon totem stones.
"Be patient, it will pass. True gold is not afraid of fire. Only after a hundred refinements can it be made into steel."
Diwu Xuan said something they could not understand, controlling the totem fire to roll the two stones.
This kind of refining has been going on for nearly half a year. Diwu Xuan couldn't figure out the exact time. There was no calendar in this era, and Diwu Xuan was not in the mood to calculate time.
"You won't get up one day and refine me too, will you?" Looking at the almost crazy Diwu Xuan, the Wolf Totem couldn't help but speak.
"No, they all betrayed the Fire Tribe, and I didn't punish them back then. This can be considered as a supplementary punishment. After all, traitors will never have a good end."
Diwu Xuan said, controlling the heat of the totem fire, fearing that he would accidentally crush the two stones.
"Don't be ungrateful. Sun Wukong was refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for 49 days and finally achieved the golden eyes. I will refine you for 81 days. If things go wrong, you will jump out of the stone and become monkeys. Then you will be free."
He said this unscrupulously, staring at the two stones in the flames with a sharp gaze.
