After being born for so many years, he was the only child in the family. Since when did he have a brother? Duo Li stared blankly at his father.
On the other side, Tao Zheng and the others who were eavesdropping were also shocked by the news. But after thinking about it, they felt that something was wrong. Shao Xuan didn't look like Duo Li.
"Father, Shao Xuan and I … are brothers? Brothers? "Duo Li pointed at the figure in the distance and asked.
"I'm just giving an example!" Duo Kang also realized that his son had misunderstood. How stupid!
But Shao Xuan's background wasn't something they dared to talk about unless the chief or shaman said it themselves.
Many people in the tribe knew that the Yanjiao tribe didn't belong to this place, but came from the other side of the sea. But after a thousand years, generations of people told stories of the past to their descendants. Now, many people only treated those stories as stories. If Duo Kang hadn't taken over the position of hunting leader, he wouldn't have had the chance to know more. As for the young people nowadays, they usually didn't think so much.
"Anyway, you guys just treat Shao Xuan as your brother!" Duo Kang didn't know how to express himself, so he just said this sentence. But then he felt that it wasn't right. Shao Xuan was an elder, and these kids should treat him with respect!
Two days before the welcoming ceremony, the atmosphere in the tribe was strange. Some were happy, some were curious, and all the topics revolved around Shao Xuan, this new face that had suddenly appeared. As Duo Kang's words spread, the people who didn't have much gossip and entertainment were excited. Every day, many people would go up the mountain to watch. If it wasn't for the chief and other elders, they would have personally talked to Shao Xuan.
On the other hand, Shao Xuan experienced the feeling of being watched as if he was a rare object. He also felt the enthusiasm of the tribesmen.
The house had been built. Beds, tables, chairs, pottery, and other things had all been prepared. On the day they moved in, many people had sent things to Shao Xuan's house. Some had sent meat, grains, furs, and so on. As hunters, every family had stored furs in their house. In just half a day, a large number of furs had piled up in Shao Xuan's new house.
Shao Xuan silently engraved these people's gifts in his mind. Although these people were simply expressing their enthusiasm and didn't intend to receive any benefits from Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan still remembered their kindness.
A group of aunties came over from the mountain, each of them holding a straw rope as a ruler. They held the straw rope and pointed it at Shao Xuan before they happily left. The next day, several sets of clothes were sent over. Some were made of animal skin, some were made of cloth, and some were made of animal skin.
The clothes for the ceremony had already been prepared. The animal skin used was from the shamaness herself. It was an excellent fearsome beast skin and was very sturdy.
Because there was no fire seed, the ceremony was a little different from what Shao Xuan knew, but there wasn't much of a difference.
On the day of the ceremony, when the sun set and the sky darkened, the people at the foot of the mountain walked up one after another. Everyone was neatly dressed and wore clean clothes.
Shao Xuan noticed that on the day of the ceremony, most of the tribesmen wore animal skin. Almost no one wore cloth. Most of the totemic warriors wore sleeveless animal skin, especially the intermediate and advanced totemic warriors. Every time there was a ceremony, they would expose their arms to show off their totemic tattoos. This was also a chance to show off their strength.
The ceremonial clothes prepared by the tribe for Shao Xuan were sleeveless as well. In the eyes of Chief Zheng Luo and the others, this was a good opportunity for Shao Xuan to show off his strength. After all, not many people saw the battle between Shao Xuan and Zhao. The others only heard about it. Seeing was believing. Seeing with one's own eyes would leave a deeper impression. It would also give them a better understanding of Elder Shao Xuan.
Because of the festive nature of the ceremony, many of the warriors inherited the customs passed down from their ancestors. They brought along various hunting fruits, sharp horns, bone ornaments and so on. Men and women of all ages were dressed up. In comparison, Shao Xuan looked refreshed.
Shao Xuan had not gone hunting since he arrived here. To make it easier for him to travel, he did not collect any souvenirs from his hunts. The only thing he wore was an Elder's bone ornament.
Among the white bone ornaments, a fiery red ball stood out. Even at night, as long as there was a little light, it would reflect the light of Mars.
"Are you ready?" The shamaness looked at Shao Xuan, who was standing beside her.
"Yes." Although this wasn't the tribe he was familiar with, the Yanjiao atmosphere was very strong. Shao Xuan quickly adapted.
"Go."
The shamaness said as she walked towards the fire pit. Shao Xuan walked in the opposite direction. The welcoming ceremony required walking from the bottom of the mountain to the top. This was what every newcomer to Yanjiao had to go through.
There was no fire in the fire pit at the top of the mountain, only torches. Shao Xuan waited at the bottom of the mountain. Beside him were two groups of people sent by the shamaness to protect him in case anything happened.
The chanting from the top of the mountain could be heard faintly. The entire mountain was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.
A red light flashed at the top of the mountain. The shamaness had lit a fire in the fire pit.
With the sound of a horn, Shao Xuan walked up the mountain.
There were many torches around, illuminating the path up the mountain. It was probably to make it easier for Shao Xuan to see the path. In fact, Shao Xuan could see clearly even without the torches.
After passing through a deserted area, Shao Xuan saw a crowd gathering. The path up the mountain had been cleared. No one came close. People on both sides of the road looked at Shao Xuan curiously. This was the first time they had a chance to observe Shao Xuan up close. They didn't have to worry about being reprimanded by the chief and elders.
This was Shao Xuan?
The person that even Zhao couldn't do anything to?
They heard that he was the one who robbed the Taihe tribe!
No matter how they felt, they could only think about it. They couldn't say it out loud. They couldn't say it out loud during this ceremony.
Using his special vision, Shao Xuan saw some red threads coming out from the crowd. They were coming out from everyone's body. They went all the way up and connected to the fire pit at the top of the mountain.
As Shao Xuan got closer to the top of the mountain and the fire pit, the red ball on the bone ornament necklace on his body seemed to be on fire. A ball of flame gushed out from it.
Seeing this, the people around him screamed. However, they quickly held their breaths and kept their mouths shut. Their eyes were fixed on Shao Xuan's necklace that was emitting flames.
The totem patterns on Shao Xuan's body were also revealed. The magma-like flame patterns extended from his shoulders to his wrists and then to his palms.
A senior totem warrior!
He really was a senior totem warrior!
The people around him stared with their eyes wide open.
The fire pit finally appeared in front of Shao Xuan. It didn't have the surging flames in his memory, but it wasn't small either. It filled the entire fire pit.
Beside the fire pit, the shaman stood there with a stone box in his hands. There were three bone ornaments in the box. They were the same as Shao Xuan's, but they weren't as bright.
When Shao Xuan came closer, the shaman handed the box to Shao Xuan.
