Chapter 423 Revealed
In the Ice Age, it is always favorable to go south, and it is always difficult to go north.
He returned to Gen Town smoothly, buried the black water jar outside in advance, and returned to his home with ease.
This trip was a big profit. Not only did he get a jar of black water for free, but he also met Ba Xia and the God of Fire. Thinking about it made him excited.
The low and narrow houses that he once hated looked much more pleasing to the eye.
He carefully found a piece of animal skin that exuded a trace of totemic power from the box in the corner. This was a piece of skin of a four-horned sheep, and there was still some power left on it.
This kind of sheepskin is the most expensive writing material. The words left on it with the power of totems are long-lasting, and a lot of words can be written on it.
When he opened the sheepskin, there were already a lot of words on it, all of which recorded his life. He was determined to become a great witch and felt that his life would be glorious enough, so he recorded it narcissistically. He
released the power of the totem from his right palm - he could only do this before he could condense the power of the totem into one finger - and carefully dropped the totem power on the sheepskin, and he began to write about his experience.
He recorded everything, no matter how big or small.
While writing, he thought about submitting this to the Tapir Totem Temple in the future, and unsealing it sixty years later, so that people could see how a great witch came out of hardships and difficulties. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
After writing furiously all night, Ke didn't feel tired the next day. He put on his linen clothes, carried a wooden box and went to school with brisk steps.
He came to the academy and started the class. Today was the class taught by Section Chief①, which talked about the rules of survival alone in the wild.
Ke listened very seriously. Having had experience in survival in the wild, he felt that he benefited a lot.
After class, the fat boy was about to invite him to leave, but he saw the section chief coming over and winked at Ke.
"Why didn't you come to class these few days?"
The section chief's voice sounded from behind.
Ke turned around, saluted respectfully at first, and then said obediently: "Something happened at home that delayed me."
The section chief nodded and didn't say anything more, just reminded him to pay attention to his studies.
"What did you do?"
The little fat boy waited for the section chief to leave before asking in a low voice.
"I went to look for black water."
There was nothing to hide from his friend.
"Did you find it?" The
little fat boy asked curiously.
At his age, he was in his rebellious period. He wanted to break out of the tribe and go out into the world, but his family was very strict. Not to mention breaking out of the tribe, he had never been out of the tribe many times.
"Yeah."
The little fat boy was very excited to get a positive answer.
He came from a distinguished family and knew how difficult it was to get black water. He never thought that his friend would have such means. He originally wanted to secretly pay the tuition for his friend, but fortunately he didn't do so.
Little Fatty Dui knew the arrogance in his heart. If he had paid the money for him without telling him, maybe he wouldn't say anything, but he would definitely blame him in his heart.
Now that he can solve his own problems, the little fat boy is also happy for his friend.
"Treat me meat?"
Yi said with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course."
The little fat boy knew that eating meat was an excuse, and Yi's stories were the real thing.
Every time Yi experienced something extraordinary, he would tell him, and he felt like he had wandered into the world following Yi's stories.
But this time, the story was too surprising for the little fat boy.
"How big is Lord Ba Xia?"
The little fat boy opened his arms in his room.
"This big?"
He tried to expand his arms a little wider.
"Still this big?"
He shook his head and tried to swallow the meat in his mouth: "As big as a small mountain, with a pair of sea-blue eyes as bright as torches, and has sea-blue divine power as the legend says."
"The God of the East China Sea? Ruling the East China Sea?"
This is a legend that has been circulating recently, saying that Baxia is the God of the East China Sea, and no one knows who proposed it.
He thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't think so. Instead, he looks like a drunkard who loves black water."
Thinking of this, he laughed again.
The little fat man didn't see everything in person, so he couldn't imagine the scene in detail.
"Who will teach tomorrow?"
He asked.
"Senior Brother Can."
The little fat man thought for a while and said.
Li's eyes turned and he asked, "Brother Can who guards the East Gate?"
The little fat man nodded, and Li picked a few more pieces of fat barbecue, ate them in a hurry, and then hurriedly got up to say goodbye. After
leaving the little fat man's house, he went straight to the East Gate and paced in front of the East Gate for a long time, until he saw a warrior wearing a red copper stone knife walking through the gate, he pretended to be on his way out and went to greet him.
"Brother Can, what are you going to teach us in tomorrow's class?"
Li took the initiative to step forward and asked.
The warrior who was called Brother Can was stunned, and the surrounding patrolmen who were guarding the city also looked over with curiosity in their eyes.
"I am Li from Class 5."
Li reminded loudly.
Senior Brother Can suddenly realized, and the seriousness on his face disappeared, and he smiled.
"Speaking of the in-depth use of totem power, it is Master Shi's skill."
An expectant expression immediately appeared on his face: "Is it really Master Shi's skill?"
His voice was so loud that the patrolmen nearby could hear it and looked at him with envy.
"Yes, you have to listen carefully, it's very useful. This is what Master Shi taught us in class."
He nodded vigorously: "I will study hard, and in the future I will be a patrolman guarding the city like Senior Brother Can."
Senior Brother Can smiled and rubbed his head, and asked him what he was doing out of the city.
"I am from Donghai City and live in Genzhen. My parents came to see me, so I went back to Genzhen to see them."
He deliberately explained the matter in detail and in a loud voice, and many patrolmen who were looking at him nearby inadvertently remembered it in their hearts.
"Oh, then go quickly, it will be dark and the wind and snow will be stronger."
Senior Brother Can kindly reminded.
He nodded vigorously, thanked him and said goodbye and left.
After leaving the East City Gate, he walked towards Gen Town. On the way, he took a special look at the place where he buried the black water. After confirming that there was no problem, he returned to Gen Town happily.
When he returned to his room, the sun had already set, but he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he took out a severely damaged animal skin scroll from the cabinet.
He opened the animal skin scroll, and the handwriting on it was a little blurred. The top row of simplified Chinese characters could still be clearly seen because they were written larger: Buck Stag Totem Gifting Spirit Shaman Skills Brief Scroll.
This is a beast skin scroll left behind when the Buck Stag Tribe promoted the gifting of spirit shamans. The words on it are crooked and many places have been altered.
"Father, I will definitely become a great witch, definitely."
After saying this, he carefully rolled up the animal skin scroll and put it at the bottom of the wooden box with great care, and then went back to his blanket to sleep.
The moonlight shone into the house through the gaps, leaving a horizontal line on his face.
In that horizontal line, a crystal light flashed, slid from the corner of his eyes onto the animal skin blanket, and wet a few animal hairs.
The north wind blew over Genzhen, and in the cold night, I don't know how many people cried in the cold.
If it were twenty years ago, the people of the Fire Tribe Alliance would not be so fragile. At that time, the tribesmen had already gotten used to life and death. No one would miss anyone in particular, nor would they forget anyone on purpose.
Now, with the formation of one small family after another, and the long-term coexistence of husband and wife, father and son, and brothers, such emotions have become stronger and stronger, and the longing for the deceased has gradually been buried deep in people
's hearts. The life span of the tribesmen has been extended to the heart of the last person who has forgotten him.
The next day, Li got up early, packed his things, simply ate millet and drank hot water, and then got up and went out.
When he left Genzhen, his wooden box was searched and there were two empty cans inside.
"What are these for?"
the patrolman asked in confusion.
"My friend asked to bring me some meat, but I didn't know how much he could bring, so he took two jars."
This is an acceptable excuse. People living in Genzhen rarely eat meat, and the people behind Li looked at him enviously.
"Study hard in the dojo. Just like the eighth generation witch said, the future belongs to you young people."
The patrolman encouraged him and let him go.
After thanking him, he left. After walking out of Gen Town, he turned to the place where he buried the black water. He divided the one pot of black water into two pots and carefully processed the smell of the black water before setting off again.
Gen Town is not far from Huodu. He deliberately delayed his speed and arrived at Huodu until he was late for class.
To be more precise, it was the east gate of Huodu.
Carrying a wooden box on his back, he pretended to be in a hurry and was about to enter the city gate. As expected, he was stopped.
"Open the wooden box and check it."
The patrolman said coldly and sternly.
He held the rattan tied to the wooden box in both hands and took it off quickly.
"Please hurry up, I'm late for Brother Can's class today."
He put on an anxious look, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to open the wooden box.
"Oh, you are the boy from yesterday, come in quickly, Commander Can has already gone to class."
The patrolman suddenly remembered the boy and remembered that he went to see his parents. He thought that he was delayed because of this.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes with his head lowered. His right hand, which was opening the wooden box, paused for a moment, and then closed the wooden box with a slit.
"Thank you, if you are late for Brother Can's class, you will be punished."
He raised his head with a sunny smile like a student on his face.
"Captain Can is always very strict."
The patrolman smiled in understanding, then waved his hand to let him go quickly.
Li put the wooden box on his back, thanked him, and rushed towards the city.
Just as he was about to enter the city, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Wait a minute."
The voice was very slow and dignified. Li's eyes widened for a moment, but he kept walking, pretending not to hear it and continued to move forward.
"The dojo apprentice, wait a minute, you smell like black water."
The voice behind him sounded, pointing out Li's identity and revealing Li's secret.
Li stopped, frowned, took a deep breath, turned around, and smiled.
"Are you calling me?"
He asked in pretended confusion.
