Original War

Chapter 614

In addition to the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe, several other tribes in the central mainland also set off one after another.

When it comes to banquets, experienced tribes know that going to a banquet is also a competition. There are no murderous competitions everywhere. It is not necessarily a direct comparison of force. There are many ways to suppress each other, such as clothing, such as Accessories, such as tools, etc.

In terms of clothing, each tribe has its own characteristics, and it does not have to be fierce animal skins or silky silk fabrics. For example, the Mang tribe prefers clothing made of plants that are similar to the color of bamboo. The accessories are also bamboo pieces. Or it may be carved from jade, and the jade that symbolizes status is also different. People who fall outside can learn about the other’s status in the Mang tribe through the jade ornaments on the other’s body.

And this time, the jade ornaments hanging on the waist of the people from the Mang tribe are all of the semi-circular or higher level. That is to say, this time the Mang tribe’s team is basically middle and high-level totem warriors, and their status is in the Mang tribe. Not low.

There are a lot of jade produced by the Mang tribe, and many people have imitated the jade shape that the Mang tribe people hang. But the real Mang tribe’s jade ornaments seem simple but very special. They are not carefully carved, but they are clear. It has a bamboo-like green pattern. This kind of jade is called mang jade, which is exclusive to the Mang tribesmen. Even if other tribes obtain this mang jade through some means, they dare not take it out in an open manner, because the Mang tribes do not. Will allow.

The Weiba tribesmen who are associated with the Mang tribe wear their famous silk clothing, and for this trip to Yanhe, they all put on clothes that they usually don’t want to wear. This kind of ability is very compelling. Compared with the people of other big tribes, it is a collision of tribe faces.

Most of the people of the Mang tribe ride on horses. Among them, there are also a few strange beasts. Their fur is dark brown, black, and white. If Shao Xuan is here, he will be very surprised to find that in the Mang tribe team The beasts on which the leaders are riding resemble pandas!

People from the Weiba tribe mostly sit on big spiders. The big spiders are of different colors, with long and short hairs, thick and thin legs, and even the number of eyes is not necessarily the same. Some look like a ball of hair, and some look like a piece of bamboo sticks that will fly away when the wind blows.

These two tribes will be very eye-catching if they take out one alone, and now they are on the road together, it is even more eye-catching. Wherever they pass, almost everyone who sees them will be curious, people from Mang tribe and Weiba tribe, where are they going? And it’s still like this? It’s not like going to war, what purpose do they have?

People who can’t restrain their curiosity and panic, follow far behind, wanting to find out. The people who were worried about being caught by the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe could only hang behind and follow at a certain distance.

From the middle to Yanhe, the distance is not close, and along the way, more and more people are curious, and they dare not go up and ask, and those who are bold also join the tracking team.

People in both tribes know about this, but they are not interested in paying attention to the people behind. In fact, they also have the mind to bring more people to watch the excitement. If Yanjiao is not so good, there can be more. People help publicize.

In the hearts of most tribesmen, the most prosperous region is definitely the central region. The trading areas are also the most prosperous in the central region, with the richest items. People on the borders of the mainland will travel thousands of miles to the trading areas there to do business.

If it can be proved that the Yanhe Trading Area is just a messy little place, even if the people of Yanjiao promote it vigorously in the future, no one will pass by, saving their efforts.

People from the Mang tribe and Weiba also met people from the Changzhou tribe in the middle of the journey. However, the people from the Changzhou tribe were all on the boat. The people on both sides only walked for a short period of time, and then they separated again. There was a waterway. Line, there are shortcuts on land.

“Can boats go in the Yanhe trading area?” After separating from the Changzhou tribe, some people from the Mang tribe were puzzled.

“Isn’t it called the Yanhe Trading Zone? There is a river that can naturally sail.” Huaye said with frowned. He did not believe that Yanjiao could stand firm in such a short period of time. He took a step back and said that even if Yanjiao could stand firm and restart Life, he did not think that the Yanhe trading area created would be better than the central part. The few large trading areas are good.

Perhaps, everything is just the way Yanjiao brushes his presence.

“I don’t know if Yan Jiao will take out all of his family this time?” Someone laughed.

“It doesn’t matter what those are doing, it will be the troubles of Yanjiao people who will be troubled at that time, we can just let go of eating and drinking.” Someone from the Weiba tribe also responded.

Walking along the route from the densely populated part of the tribe, there are few active people around, and sometimes no outsider can be seen in a day. The surrounding soil is indeed not very good, especially in places far away from the river. Quite barren, the soil is very hard, not suitable for planting, there are only some bare weedy mountains nearby, and it is rare to see a tree that can bear fruit. Even if there is, most of the low branches and leaves are sparse. No wonder there is no tribal life in such a place.

desolate!This is what everyone who passes here thinks.

At this time, the people of the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe couldn’t help but feel proud. Their ancestors were really powerful, and they were looking for a good place. Any soil in their own tribe’s territory is much better than here!

However, gradually, the terrain did not change significantly, but the landform began to change. The surrounding trees gradually increased, became taller and denser, and the surrounding mountains were no longer monotonous weeds, but lush green. The woods in the mountains, the more you go forward, the denser the woods on the mountain, even if it is far from the water source, the mountain forest is full of green vitality compared to before.

There are some active figures nearby, probably from a small tribe, hidden in the woods on the mountain.

“This place seems to be pretty good?” Qu Ce tore off a leaf from a shrub, tore apart the leaf, and looked at the water in the leaf.

Although the soil may not be fertile, if you want to plant it, you can barely plant some, which is not as good as those in the middle of the farmland, but it can still maintain the livelihood of some small tribes.

Others disagree. In their eyes, this place is far from the farmland of their tribe.

“Leader, someone on the mountain has followed us for a while, do you want to go and test it?” Huang Ye asked the leader of the Mang tribe.

“No need.” The leader of the Mang tribe raised his hand indifferently. For the people of the small tribe, he still looked down on him, and he didn’t think it would pose a threat to their team.

In the mountain forest next to him, Abu Li led people and looked at the team passing through the valley in shock.

“Then…who is that?” someone asked.

“How do I know?!” Abu Li pulled the animal leather jacket anxiously and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Before coming, Abuli spent two days choosing clothes. In the end, he chose a piece of animal skin from Yanjiao, and asked his wife to sew into clothes. The best material for clothing in the Mani tribe is the only skins they bought from Yanjiao before last winter.

The skins of fierce beasts are no better than wild beasts, and the cutting is much more difficult. The efficiency of one person is too low, and Abuli’s wife asked a few more people to help. Abuli, his wife, and the witches of the Tu tribe, all three of them wore animal skins and went to the Yanhe trading area.

However, the animal skins Abuli chose at that time were all furs with thick hairs instead of smooth or short-haired leathers. Now this weather, winter has passed early, and it is indeed very hot to wear them now, but Abuli did not. The way to choose, only these furs can be eye-catching.

Originally, Abuli planned to wear the clothes made of these fierce animal skins to show off at the Yanhe Feast. As far as he knew, many tribes of this generation had never seen fierce animal skins before.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the Yanhe trading area, I saw the luxuriously equipped team passing through the valley. The other party was about to throw away the people from the tribe Baitiaohe from the clothes and car, and the momentum was far away. Compared with other tribes in this area, the people of the Tuan tribe are simply not enough. Seeing that team, they couldn’t even think of robbery.

That should be the legendary powerful tribe from the central region, right?

There are people outside, and their vision of tribal people is still too small.

Under the shock, Abuli thought for a while, took out a vine woven bag on his back, unwrapped it layer by layer, took out a few strings of crystal necklaces inside, and put them all on his neck. This is what he took with him when he left the tribe. Originally thinking about going as a gift to someone, pretending to be a local tyrant, now it seems that he should put on his courage first.

“Well, it’s much better.” Abu Li looked at the shining crystal charms, nodded in satisfaction, and instantly Ascension several levels of self-confidence.

And the Mang tribe and Weiba tribe on the way do not know the extent of the psychological shadow of those who spy on them in the dark.

As night fell gradually, the team first found a place to rest.

Next to the fire, the leader of the Mang tribe took out the map on the back of the invitation letter again, and looked at the two moons painted on the top of the map. That was the time for the banquet given by Yanjiao. I looked at the size of the bright sides of the two moons, raised my hand and gestured between the two moons, and then looked towards the sky.

The two moons in the night sky, the shape of the shiny surface is almost the same as the one drawn on the map of the animal skin scroll.

“Can catch up.” This is the conclusion drawn by the leader of the Mang tribe.

“Well, we should be able to reach the Yanhe trading area tomorrow.” said Huaye.

Where they are, looking at the general terrain, the distribution of mountains and the direction of the river, it can correspond to the location on the map. It is very close to the destination marked on the map of the animal skin scroll with the double-horn pattern of flames. , They can arrive before the time given by Yanjiao.

“I don’t know what food Yanjiao prepared? Did they really prepare a lot of beast meat?” Qu Ce looked at a beast roasting on the fire, feeling even more hungry.

“Who knows?” A warrior from the Weiba tribe yawned. They all regretted coming over with the team. The journey is far away. If Yanjiao prepares some strange food by then, will they bite the bullet and eat it? Still not eating it? I heard that the food in many remote places is very weird. I don’t know how the barbaric Yanjiao people will prepare it.

“Oh, what do you think so much, you will know tomorrow.”

“Too.”

Under the curtain of night, the team on the road gradually calmed down, surrounded by only the crackling of firewood and the snoring of a few beasts acting as mounts.

The next day, the team set off again. Just as Spring Leaf and the others had expected, before noon, they saw a flat road that was clearly man-made. There is also a stone monument on the side of the road with the words “Yanhe Trading Area” written on it, and an arrow is marked below the words, and the arrow points to the direction in which the road extends.

“Oh, really interesting.” Qu Ce said.

“Keep going.” The leader of the Mang tribe raised his finger to the front of the road.

There are eyes around watching this side, it should be from Yanjiao.

The road is wide and beaten very hard, even if a giant beast walks on it, it can walk smoothly.

Walking along the road, not long after, the team suddenly exclaimed.

“Look, what is that?!”

The people in the team looked forward, and in the field of vision, above the bushes, there was a tall stone house standing there in the distance, exceeding the height of the woods. Because most of the trees in front of the road have been chopped down, and without obstacles, they can clearly see the gray building with its “head” exposed.

Soon after they walked forward, a wall appeared in front of them.

A wall made of stones is not rare for them, but the paintings drawn on the wall shocked all of them.

Actually it is not to say how horrible the painting is, but the style and color of the painting, which has a great impact on people’s vision.

In the green mountains and forests, the colors suddenly appeared, attracting a lot of eyes from the past.

Different from the fence in many places, the fence on Yanjiao is smoother. The stones on the base wall are cut off where the stones are too protruding, and the depressions are filled again, so the fence becomes a good drawing board, and the paintings on it appear. More delicate, with more changes.

There are many people on the paintings on the outer walls. Because of the collective stylization of solid tribal thinking and concepts, the painting styles of most tribes nowadays have one thing in common. That is, when drawing people, the shapes of the characters are slightly different. It removes the concrete beauty of individuality, but at the same time it produces and strengthens the overall impact, especially in the paintings for the outsiders, this characteristic is especially obvious.

People from large tribes such as the Mang and Weiba tribes can be said to be well-informed. The ordinary paintings do not surprise them so much, but the paintings on the walls in front of them give them a different feeling.The dark brown paint paints the land with some people in line. Although the characters on the painting are basically the same because of the collective stylization, the clothes and the weapons in the hands are still slightly different. Sets, swords, spears, axes and sticks, and some strange tools, like broken knives, they had never seen before.

The people lined up on the picture are dignified, set off with the flame-like streamline pattern, with a specific rhythm and sense of rendering. Because of the smoother walls, the painting techniques have more places to display and the lines of the paintings are also present. The changes in thickness and thickness are more vivid under the full color filling. Some paintings are also decorated with rare golden paints to outline or fill the lines. Among the plants in the paintings are painted gold and purple, but most of the people who saw them did not recognize those plants.

If it is in other tribes, paintings of different thickness will look jerky and unsmooth, but here, because of the combination of points, lines, and surfaces, there is more beauty, smooth and delicate, without losing the madness of the tribal style. wild.

Those are just a few of the paintings, and there are more paintings in the back. Between each group of paintings, some red flame-like patterns are separated. There are obvious double-corner patterns in the flames, and the ones that connect the group of pictures The flame pattern appears natural at the connection with each group of paintings. The curved spirals and arcs of the flame body are combined to give a sense of flow and can be smoothly placed between each group of paintings.

There are not only portrait paintings, but also fierce beast paintings. The forms of ferocious beasts that have never been seen before are presented on the wall in primitive tribal-style paintings, coupled with the matching of lines and patterns, and the color The shock, and the exaggerated and deformed technique, made the person who saw it feel terrified at the first glance.

On the gray walls, the combination of large paintings and colors, against the surrounding green mountains and clear waters, the visual conflicts become more and more obvious. It can be said that every person who comes here for the first time has an impression of the paintings on those walls. profound.

Most of these paintings were made by Shao Xuan. Of course, Shao Xuan was able to paint more detailed and complex and vivid, but that would be beyond the scope of acceptance during this period. Here, the mainstream is this primitive tribal style. A little more than that is called improvement or innovation. But if you completely change your style at once, and completely deviate from the mainstream and acceptance of this period, it will not work. Not to mention that people from other tribes can’t appreciate it. Even people from the Yanjiao tribe will feel abrupt and even feel it when they see it. Shao Xuan’s aesthetic deformity.

As Shao Xuan expected, everyone in Yanjiao was very satisfied with the final result on the wall.

The outsiders who have arrived in the past few days will stop and stay when they see these, including the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe team at this time.

“What tree is this pictured?”

“do not know”

“What about that?”

“never seen it.”

“And that…oh, I know the one over there. It’s the crop found before Yanjiao. What is it called?”

“Chinese cabbage?”

“Yes, yes, that’s the Chinese cabbage! When we went to Murderer’s Forest in the winter, we saw Yanjiao planting!”

The warriors of the Mang tribe and Weiba tribe in the team pointed and discussed the paintings.

In front of the team, the leaders of the Mang tribe and the Weiba tribe were in a mixed mood when they looked at the high wall ahead and the taller landmark-like stone building in the center of the trading area.

This is Yanjiao’s new habitat?

This is the so-called “Yanhe Trading Zone” established by Yanjiao?

It seems, as if, it should be… different from what they expected.

How do you say that?

Knowing that you are not doing well, I feel relieved. In the same way, they are depressed when they know that Yanjiao is doing well.

Can such a place be built, and life will be poor?
