Section 3 The Confessions of the Elders

The Great Elder is the most authoritative figure in the tribe, and is usually the responsibility of the previous generation of high priests. Shortly after the new high priest took office, the tribe will hold the succession ceremony of the Great Elder. It can be said that the Great Elder is the person with the most say in the tribe. However, there are no Great Elders in the tribe now, and no one will preside over the ceremony. Yi sighed and said to the warriors: "Cross the river, all the tribesmen cross the river, leaving only sixteen warriors."

The warrior agreed and began to command the tribe to board the sheepskin rafts. These sheepskin rafts were very huge and could ride more than a dozen people, but a sheepskin raft, enough to load everyone.

After everyone sat on it, Yi looked at the elder, but found that she had no intention of going up. So he asked, "Will the elder not leave together?"

The elder smiled and said, "I'm leaving, who will confuse the enemy?" After saying that, she sighed: "I didn't expect that the secret technique I use here came in handy today. Haha, it's God's will!"

Accompanied by the soldiers' shouts, more than twenty sheepskin rafts left the south bank of the Yellow River and floated towards the other side. The sound of horns rang out at night, and both sides could clearly hear the sound.

Yi did not leave. Looking at his wife and children looking at him on the sheepskin raft, he comforted a lot. At least, the tribe still has hope, and all these hopes are concentrated on the children. Even if he died in the battlefield, he could comfort him. Now, what he was most worried about is whether these more than a hundred tribesmen could pass the Yellow River safely. He knew very well about this river that its temper was very strange. Once he got angry, it was too simple to swallow everything on the river. Sometimes, this Yellow River could even swallow up all the lives of more than ten miles on both sides of the river.

The sheepskin raft passed half of the Yellow River, and there was no wave on the surface of the river. It seemed that the gods in the Yellow River were asleep and did not notice people's actions. Yi glanced at the elder: "Are we lucky?"

The elder looked at the night sky, and there were no clouds, countless star dots shining in the sky, a crescent moon hung on the treetops, without a trace of fluctuation, and some were just the humidity of the air.

The elder smiled: "We are really lucky, and God is helping us too." As she said that, after watching the sheepskin raft crossing the river for more than half, she turned around and said: "Let's go, go back to the residential area and take a break quickly. You will be very busy during the day tomorrow."

When he returned to the residential area, it was almost dawn. Yi took a warrior to guard the other warriors to rest. Standing on the watchtower and looking at the foggy jungle ahead, his heart was filled with complex emotions. It can be said that this jungle raised him, and since his birth, this jungle has been with him. At that time, he always felt that the jungle was very mysterious. Until he was four years old, he followed his father into the jungle for the first time, and from picking, he slowly walked into the depths of the jungle, picking, hunting, and fighting. Until he was fourteen years old, he finally walked out of this jungle and came to the plateau at the end of the jungle, endless loess, deserts, Gobi, and strong winds, letting him know that this world is not all as beautiful as in the jungle, and many places are very desolate and even make people unable to live.

Just as Yi recalled, the cries of wild beasts came from the jungle. The sound was like a barking of dogs. However, Yi knew that this beast was called Lili. The old man in the clan said that once he heard this beast call, labor or enslavement would appear where it appeared. This made Yi's mood even more complicated. There was only this tribe in this jungle. Who would he enslave? At this time, he had an impulse to rush into the jungle and kill the damn Lili. However, as soon as he stood up and walked down the watchtower, he saw the elder walking out.

The elder saw Yi, thought for a while and said, "Chief, come with me."

Yi didn't know what the elder was going to do, so he walked over. The elder turned around and walked into the house where the elder lived, saying as he walked, "As the leader, you have the right to know some secrets in the tribe." As she said that, she sat on the animal skin, signaled him to sit down, and then said, "The birthplace of our tribe comes from the foot of Yinshan Mountain, so there have been warriors guarding the foot of Yinshan Mountain. I have lived long enough. After this war, I feel that my power is disappearing, and I'm afraid I will leave soon. However, there are some things that I must tell you about this new leader."

After Yi sat down, he listened carefully to his words: "Please make it clear to the elder."

The elder smiled and nodded: "Around one million and three hundred thousand years, the ancestors of our tribe understood the records, and these records were engraved in Yinshan, recording the methods of ancestors to deal with various beasts and the origin of some secret techniques of our tribe. You should know that the leaders, high priests, and elders of our tribe all mastered a secret technique, and these secret techniques were there."

Yi was stunned for a moment: "Where is it?"

The elder smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm old and it's hard to speak. Let me think about it. I remember that there are many wolves in that place. It should be walking westward. You will see a large area of ​​stone mountain, which should be there?"

Yi smiled bitterly: "The range is very large, so there is no specific location?"

The elder thought for a while and suddenly thought of something: "After going back, ask the old men in the clan, they should know a place called Wolf Valley, and the records are in that valley."
