Chapter 732 Wolf Howl
As the head of a clan, does Shan Mancheng have ambitions? The answer is of course yes.
He even made careful arrangements for this purpose. Even though the Jiayu tribe was unstable internally and even though there were traitors among the wizards of the Jiayu tribe, he was still confident that one day he would be able to take over northern Hubei and then one day reach the Central Plains of the Dajin Dynasty.
However, things are unpredictable. He was plotted against by the Tuo Yu tribe and met Shen Qingqian, Sheng Ze and others by accident. Then he saw another possibility for the integration of the tribes.
Wa Tuci didn't understand what Shan Mancheng said, and just looked at him with admiration. He didn't expect Chengji to have already found a way out for his people!
This large-scale migration of the entire tribe made everyone in the tribe panic. They urgently wanted to ask God's will in order to find peace of mind.
The Jiayu tribe's ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky was jointly presided over by the wizard and Chengji. Shan Mancheng wore a full set of Chengji's formal attire from the Jiayu tribe and stood calmly on a specially built platform. If it weren't for the beads of sweat on his forehead, the people below might really mistake him for a god descending to earth.
The wizard wore a brass mask with intricate carvings and decorated with feathers of several kinds of birds. He was muttering to himself and taking steps with a rhythm that only he understood.
After the complicated and lengthy ceremony, the shaman bowed to Shan Manyeng, then faced the audience and shouted, "Fellow tribesmen, our choice is correct! Heaven approves of our decision and guides us to continue following Chengji's footsteps!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Jiayu people immediately cheered, and many elders cried for joy.
"Thank God for your protection!" The wizard suddenly knelt on the platform and kowtowed devoutly.
The people in the audience also knelt down and prayed with their eyes closed.
Shan Mancheng didn't move. He just looked at the vast sky and earth in the distance and raised the corners of his lips.
Of course, sacrifices require the killing of livestock. The Jiayu people responded promptly to the drought and preserved livestock to the greatest extent possible, making it no problem for them to support a sacrifice.
The blood of the animals dyed the grass red, but the Jiayu people were happily boiling water to skin the animals and prepare to make delicious food from the sacrificial animals.
As night fell, the joy in the camp gradually faded away. Somur looked around and finally saw the figure that was imprinted in her heart.
"Chengji, why haven't you gone back yet?"
Hearing Suo Muer's voice, Shan Mancheng turned around. What was rare was that he smiled at her. "Nothing is wrong for now."
If nothing is wrong, there is no need to rush back.
Suo Muer was dazzled by his faint smile and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Shan Mancheng asked her, "We are here, everything has to start over, can you get used to it?"
"It's a habit. Everyone seems to be more united than before, just to set up the tents as quickly as possible. Many grandmas also take the initiative to help others take care of their children." Somur's face flushed slightly, but he still told what he saw.
A-ma is a respectful title for old ladies used by the Jiayu people, which means the same as "na-na" in Dajin language.
Shan Mancheng was quite satisfied with the situation. Seeing that it was getting late, he turned around and said, "Let's go back."
Somur followed him closely, his heart leaping with joy.
My cousin could actually speak to her so gently!
Unfortunately, the good mood of the Jiayu people was shattered shortly after they went to bed that night.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
A series of wolf howls broke the peace of the camp. Shan Mancheng and a group of Jiayu warriors heard the sound and quickly rushed out of the tent.
"It's a wolf! The snow wolf is coming!" someone suddenly shouted, turned around and ran away in horror.
