Chapter 5: Preparing to Unleash the Witch
For every witch, Qiwu is one of the most important things in life, because only when Qiwu succeeds can he gain real power, be truly recognized by the ancestors, and become a member of the official witch.
Only then can you even be recognized by the way of heaven and recognize you as a true member of this world.
But Fang Luoya did not expect that the witch opening ceremony would be such a grand event for the entire tribe.
According to the witch, the tribe's annual witch opening ceremony is on the sixth day of the sixth month, and some members of the tribe who are over fourteen years old are lit up;
But now it is August, and it has been a while since this year's witch opening ceremony;
As a tribe, Fang Luoya is not a native outsider. If he wants to be officially recognized by the tribe, he must start the witch as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to integrate into the entire tribe smoothly.
These two days, Mu Yong went out early and came back late every day, and when he came back, he looked tired, his face became paler a little. Fang Luoya could even hear Mu Yong's obviously coughing frequently in the middle of the night, knowing that Mu Yong must be preparing the offering for his witch, so he worked so hard.
The man who didn't say much about Mu Yong, but was very concerned about him, and a warm feeling in Fang Luoya's heart slowly rose.
Over the years, only the old man has been so kind to him. Since the old man passed away, he has never felt such closeness and warmth again.
But now, the existence of Mu Yong and Yun Ling has made him feel like a warm home again.
Fang Luoya is now a part of this family, so he tries his best to help Yun Ling do something every day; but he is helpless to find that he is not as good as Yun Ling in many things.
Whether it is sewing animal skin clothes or handling prey...
Although Yun Ling is young and looks thin and weak, one head shorter than him, she is stronger than him;
A fat pig's legs, Yun Ling's thin little arm held a meat-cutting knife weighing at least ten pounds, and it could easily be chopped into pieces.
But Fang Luoya tried to chop a few times, but he felt depressed, because Yun Ling could cut off a piece of meat with just one knife, and he needed at least two or three swords.
And when he finished chopping two pieces of meat, his arms were already sore and weak; but Yun Ling chopped three or four pieces of meat in a row, all with a relaxed look on his face.
Looking at Fang Luoya's depressed appearance, Yun Ling, who was standing beside him, smiled and comforted: "Big brother... When the witch starts the witch for you, your strength will gradually become greater than that of Yun Ling..."
Listening to Yun Ling's comfort, Fang Luoya was more looking forward to the upcoming Qi Wu.
But she was also a little worried in her heart that she was so many years older than Yun Ling, and that Yun Ling had not yet started the witch, so her strength was already greater than herself;
I am afraid that even if I succeed in entrepreneurship, I may not be able to compare with these native tribes' peers... No wonder the uncle Gang he met on Tuping yesterday, and he looked like he was shaking his head when talking about this...
But looking at the comforting smile on Yun Ling's simple and cute face, Fang Luoya could only smile and nod and respond, not daring to ask for his worries.
After pondering for a moment, he still asked Yun Ling about Qi Wu something.
Regarding Fang Luoya’s question, Yun Ling was extremely patient and told him in detail some of the things she knew.
Qiwu, that is a ritual that everyone needs to go through when they are about fourteen years old.
Through this witch-initiating ceremony, it means becoming a true witch-in. Moreover, after this witch-initiating ceremony, the witch-initiating ceremony can truly acquire witch-in power. Under the influence of witch-initiating power, many people gradually become stronger and even become witch-in-law-like existences.
Witches are the guardians of each tribe. They have magical power and knowledge and can use various witchcraft to divine, pray, and fight...
Listening to Yun Ling's explanation, Yun Ling suddenly stopped talking, then stood up happily and said, "Bad is back!"
Fang Luoya was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he could hear footsteps coming from a distance from the small path over there.
Mu Yong came back earlier today and looked in a pretty good mood;
After throwing a bloody beast leg at the foot of the wall, he looked at Yun Ling and Fang Luoya, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and then grinned: "Cough cough... the sacrifice is ready. I will wait and tell Wu that he will let Wu perform the witch opening ceremony for A Ya tonight... You guys make some preparations!"
"By the way...what are you talking about?" Looking at the excited look of the two of them, Mu Yong sat down in a very good mood.
"We are talking about Qiwu!" Fang Luoya looked at Mu Yong excitedly and said, "Uncle Yong... What is it like after Qiwu? Do you have any special feelings?"
Looking at Fang Luoya's excited appearance, Mu Yong smiled and said with a smile: "Qiwu is actually the power of heaven and ancestor spirit to purify your bloodline, so that you can officially become a member of my witch clan recognized by heaven and ancestor spirit. At the same time, you strengthen your body and condense a certain amount of witch power in your body, so that our witch clan's future cultivation can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
"As for the feeling... there is no special feeling. According to the witch, only when you break through the tenth level wizard and cross the gate of ordinary life can you truly sense the existence of wizard power!"
"Oh...so!" Fang Luoya nodded as if he had understood.
Knowing that the witch will ignite the witch tonight, the little loli Yunling was very happy. During dinner, she specially cooked some more soup and roasted a large piece of meat.
"Big brother...you have to eat more and go to Qiwu if you grow strong..."
"Bather said you are too thin, you must eat more to grow strong..."
"Um... you need to eat more, eat more!" Mu Yong, who was standing beside him, grabbed a large piece of barbecue in his mouth and ate it with oil. He listened to Yun Ling's words and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay..." Looking at the cute smile on Yun Ling's delicate face, Fang Luoya nodded with a smile, and then reached out to grab a big mouthful of meat and started to chew it.
Seeing that Fang Luoya started eating large pieces of meat, Yun Ling laughed happily, then took out a piece of mountain potato from the pottery bowl and put it to his mouth and ate it slowly.
"Hmm? Yun Ling, don't you eat meat?" Looking at Yun Ling's movements, Fang Luoya's hand couldn't help but relax slightly.
"Ah...I don't like eating meat!" Yun Ling was slightly stunned and shook her head and laughed.
"Don't like eating meat?" Fang Luoya frowned slightly. He had already roughly understood the situation of the entire tribe in the past or two days;
All witch people like to eat meat because meat can provide enough energy to the body to cope with more high-intensity physical activities.
Most of the likes of wild potatoes are only used as a supplement to meat; only some families who do not have enough labor to exchange for meat will use wild potatoes as their staple food.
But many times, there is no way to catch enough prey. When there is not enough meat, many families will use potatoes as their staple food.
Could it be that Yun Ling saved meat for himself and Mu Yong...
"Aya...Eat quickly. Wu said that Yun Ling's physique cannot eat too much meat..."
Mu Yong, who was gnawing meat on the side, seemed to notice Fang Luoya's doubts. He suddenly raised his head, showed his snow-white teeth and grinned at Fang Luoya, and then continued to lower his head to gnaw the meat.
"oh,,,"
After dinner, the weather gradually became dark...
Yun Ling had already burned the water and urged Fang Luoya to take a bath. Although the witch tribe did not pay much attention to details, he still attached great importance to Qi Wu, who only once in his life.
Fang Luoya, who had not taken a shower for two or three days, could not wait to see the wooden barrel filled with hot water.
He had never done this before without taking a shower for a few days. Although the air in this new world is refreshing and fresh, even if he didn't take a shower for two or three days, he didn't seem to feel anything wrong, but he still felt something was wrong.
I could take a comfortable bath with hot water. Although I regretted that there was no soap, Yun Ling still prepared a branch full of leaves for me in a good manner.
After looking at the branch resting on the wooden barrel, Fang Luoya quickly guessed what it was for.
Because this branch looks very much like the branches of the soap-leaf tree that he had seen before when he was in the countryside;
The leaves of soap leaf trees are rich in foam. When I was a child, when I was playing by the river, I was dirty and my hands couldn't wash them clean. I often stroked two handfuls of such leaves and rubbed them in my hands, and then they were cleaned.
Fang Luoya reached out to stroke the leaves on the branches, dipped them in water, and rubbed them hard in his hand.
After rubbing the leaves, a layer of rich foam appeared. Fang Luoya put his hand to his nose and smelled it. Sure enough, it was very similar to the smell in his memory...
It seems that although this world is completely different from my previous world, there seems to be no big difference between plants and other things.
I took a shower with the soap leaf and hot water, and then rubbed the flame-shaped tattoo mark on my chest hard, and found that except for making my skin a little redder, the mark had no changes.
After sighing lightly, Fang Luoya stood up from the wooden barrel, and then he found that there were neatly placed on the stone bench not far away next to him.
After looking at the animal skin clothes that Yun Ling had sewn, Fang Luoya sighed and then started wearing them carefully.
Although I am not used to it, since I have come to this world, I still have to follow the local customs and cannot always wear my own T-shirts and jeans.
I have to say that although Yun Ling is still young, her skills are really good. She wears it very well and even her boots are quite fit.
Although it was a little uncomfortable with most of the shoulders and two thighs exposed, it was nothing compared to my own world.
When he walked out the door, Mu Yong and Yun Ling were already waiting. Looking at Fang Luoya who was walking out, their eyes lit up slightly.
"Big brother is so beautiful..." Looking at Fang Luoya, Yun Ling showed a sweet smile on her face: "It looks much better than those weird clothes..."
Mu Yong looked up and down at Fang Luoya, reached out to pat Fang Luoya's shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well... Not bad! Although I have lost a little weight, I only feel like a boy from Daqi Tribe now!"
