Chapter 279 – The Gathering Place (Part 1)



 

According to the records left by the ancestors, there should be two tall stone columns near the fire pit, rather than one . When Shao Xuan first came to the old haunt, he only saw one tall stone column . As for the other one, it may have been destroyed by man-made or natural disaster long before .

In addition, there were other short stone columns as well, whose significance was not as great as the former two, but they were more flexible to be carved .

Shao Xuan was in charge of the two largest stone columns closest to the fire pit . As for other columns, they would be carved by other people, and some symbolic patterns would be ok . Please support our original translation in wangmamaread .



The two largest stone columns were respectively located on each side of the fire pit, toward the direction in which the sun rises and sets each .

The patterns on stone columns were some paintings similar to the totem, but these totems were slightly different from totem patterns of warriors, the texture gap of the totem was larger, and some patterns were carved in many large gaps .

On the stone column in the direction of the sun rising, choppers, bows, stone balls, hammers, axes, cymbals, chisels, etc . , which were commonly used by soldiers, including articles for hunting and daily life were carved . In addition, there were also various ferocious beasts was carved . Although there were many patterns, every one of them wasn’t complicated . Only a few strokes on the animal skin-roll could show their features so that one could figure out what they were .

On the stone column in the direction of the sun setting, various plants, flowers, ornaments, etc . were carved . Some of the plants and flowers were cultivated species, and some were common herbal medicines .



The pattern on the stone column represented harvest, prosperity, and so on, which also seemed to be a prayer divided into two parts .


From his memory, Shao Xuan painted those on a skin-roll first, and then he chopped a block of wood as a shrunken model . The small wooden pile was easy to be carved . Shao Xuan set about engraving the first day, and the next day, he could take it to the Shaman and the leader .

After the huge stone column was carved and set up, the whole tribe was full of cheers . The people in the area of the wanderers could see the two high stone columns standing there only if they climb the tree and remove the leaves that block their sight .

All short columns in other parts of the tribe had also been completed . The tribe became more and more similar to the pre-millennial tribe recorded by the ancestors . Maybe the tribe would change more in the future, but now, they just wanted to copy the way the tribe looked like at that time .

Since the stone columns were done . Then the cremation of the ancestors would go on .

This time, all they saw the appearance of the seven ancestors, but no one was afraid . What they felt more was reverence, and then everyone kneeled down and prayed more sincerely and respectfully . To pray for the good harvest and peace with the ancestors’ blessing . To pray for strength and for that young children could awaken their Power of Totem successfully .

In the fire pit, the remains of seven ancestors were devoured by the soaring flame . After a while, nothing was left, even their cremains .

There was a strong wind blowing from the forest . Maybe because of the influence of these new stone columns, the wind blew with some sounds up and down, like someone was whispering and singing .

Some people considered it as the symbol of ancestors’ return, and others thought it was their ancestors’ answer to their prayers .

No matter what the truth was, everyone believed in what they thought and no one would refute that .

After the ceremony, all the people left . While Ao walked to the broken stones that were piled up on the side and stood there for a long time . Most of these pieces were the wreckage of stone columns and buildings, which were destroyed by the Wan Shi people . Whenever the Flaming Horn people saw that, they would burn with silent anger .
