This Is My Primitive Tribe

After the autumn harvest, Jiang Xuan immediately started to prepare for the sacrifice.

This sacrifice is very important to the Vine tribe, because this is the first official sacrifice since the establishment of the Vine tribe.

The previous sacrifice was so shabby that after Jiang Xuan said it, he was despised by the old witch.

"I'm a transmigrator, can I still let you compare?"

Jiang Xuan pondered, this sacrificial ceremony must raise the standard, not to mention shocking the old witch, at least not make people look down upon it.

At the same time, he planned to officially make Gan Song and other twelve tourists members of the Veng tribe at this sacrificial ceremony.

In addition, Jiang Xuan plans to add some more people because of sufficient food.

With the development of the tribe, the problem of insufficient manpower has become more and more obvious.

He plans to recruit another twenty or thirty tourists.

If they recruit too many at once, the Vine tribe can't afford it at all. If they recruit too few, they won't have enough manpower.

Therefore, after recruiting about 30 people, Jiang Xuan is confident that they will be able to survive the winter and be easier to control.

It was already late autumn. Every year at this time, various tribes would fight for food.

Some tribes will rise, and some tribes will be destroyed.

Those whose tribes were destroyed and who escaped by chance became tourists.

Recruiting people at this time is the easiest.

Due to the lack of food and winter supplies, the Southern Wilderness tribes hardly kept slaves. They either killed or, when needed, took back the women and children of other tribes to expand their population.

Winter is approaching. If these tourists want to survive, they must find opportunities to join other tribes.

There is no rush to recruit tourists. The most important thing at the moment is to prepare the sacrifices and build a bigger altar.

The small yellow clay altar was rough and shabby, and a bigger altar had to be built.

Considering that the vines are plants, they don't like altars made of stone. Therefore, Jiang Xuan plans to dig more mud and build a larger earthen altar.

To build an altar, the best soil is the five-color soil, that is, the soil of the five colors of blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

Moreover, these five soil requirements are natural and cannot be dyed.

However, it is difficult to find five-color soils, because they are scattered all over the world, and the Vine tribe currently does not have this strength.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan had to settle for the next best thing and use white clay to build the altar.

The yellow mud has no toughness, and the small altar built before has been covered with cracks after drying, which is very unsightly.

The fine clay is different, as long as the clay is slowly mixed with the mud, the clay is made into mud bricks, and then built into an altar. After drying, not only is it not easy to crack, but it is also very strong.

As soon as he said it, Jiang Xuan called everyone together and started digging the clay and building the altar.

The creek next to the rattan tribe is very long, and there is a lot of clay on the bank, enough to build an altar.

Jiang Xuan first led someone to dig out the weeds, soil and stones on the surface beside the creek, exposing the gray-white clay below, and then digging hard with a bone scorpion.

"Put the excavated soil directly into the rattan basket, and then carry it to the foot of the stone mountain, so as not to get dirty."

While digging, Jiang Xuan directed other people to work.

Under his arrangement, four people are responsible for digging clay, eight people are responsible for transporting it, and three people are responsible for clearing the ground at the foot of the stone mountain, and then reconciling the transported clay to make mud bricks.

Two other people were responsible for dismantling the cracked yellow clay altar.

Tribal people believe that building an altar is a very sacred thing, and it is a great honor to participate in it.

Therefore, everyone was enthusiastic and worked hard.

With the efforts of everyone, it only took them three days to dig enough clay to build the altar.

All these clays were transported to the bottom of the stone mountain, and after being mixed with mud, they were beaten and turned into mud bricks of similar size.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan personally built these mud bricks one by one to build an altar.

This work was meticulous, and with the help of everyone, it took another three days to complete.

With the efforts of everyone in the Vine tribe, after six days, a brand new altar was finally built!

The altar is in the shape of a round table, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, three meters high, six meters in diameter at the bottom and five meters in diameter at the top.

Such an altar is very tall for a small tribe, even bigger than the bamboo house where Jiang Xuan and the others live now.

Ordinary small tribes would never build such a large altar because they had to migrate frequently.

Even the old witch was surprised when he saw this new altar.

"Paint the totem pattern, and the altar is complete."

Jiang Xuan picked up a few sharp stone pieces, and after rough grinding, they used them as carving knives and began to carve totem patterns on the altar.

For such a big altar, it took him too long to carve all the totem patterns on his own, so he asked Chi Shao to help with it.

To be honest, Jiang Xuan's painting talent is not very good. After a year of painting the totem pattern, it can only be seen, and it is not good-looking.

Chishao is different. Chishao's painting talent is much stronger than Jiang Xuan's. The totem patterns he draws seem to have an aura, which is very beautiful.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan was responsible for engraving the totem pattern on the back, and Chi Shao was responsible for engraving the totem pattern on the front. The two worked together.

It took the two of them a day to carve the totem pattern. Later, Jiang Xuan made some paints, colored the totem pattern, and finished polishing the altar, which took another day.

In the end, after eight days, the new altar of the Vine Tribe was finally completed!

"It's not easy!"

Standing in front of the tall altar, Jiang Xuan looked at the totem patterns on the altar and sighed.

Seventeen people, it took eight days to complete this simple earthen altar~www.readwn.com~ If it is a stone altar, it takes a block of polished stone bricks, totem patterns, and I am afraid it will take half a year or even One year to complete.

"Although the altar is ready, there seems to be something missing."

Jiang Xuan looked left and right, and felt that the altar alone was too monotonous.

"By the way, two pottery tripods can be placed on the altar, and some totem poles can also be erected next to the altar, which will be much more beautiful."

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up and thought this idea was a good idea.

Ding, in various tribes at present, is used as a utensil for cooking food, most of which are three-legged pottery tripods.

Including the rattan tribe, they also use three-legged pottery cauldrons to cook food.

But Jiang Xuan knew that after the Tao Ding developed into a bronze Ding, it gradually evolved into a sacrificial vessel.

People put animal blood or food in tripods to worship gods and ancestors.

In some sacrificial rituals, plants with fragrant odors are ground into powder and burned in a tripod, which is called incense burning.

Incense burning is also a very important part of sacrificial rituals, but considering that the totem gods of the Teng tribe are plants, they should not like fire, so Jiang Xuan did not plan to make an incense burner and do such a thankless task.

After Jiang Xuan thought about it clearly, he immediately called someone to dig up a large pile of clay. First, a larger earthen kiln was built to burn pottery tripods.

Afterwards, he patiently made three tall three-legged pottery cauldrons out of clay, and carefully engraved the totem pattern of the rattan tribe on the outer wall, as well as some bird and beast patterns.

As for the erection of the totem pole, Jiang Xuan handed it over to others.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to be hands-on with everything. Not only is I half-tired, but the people below don't have the opportunity to exercise and perform.
