Chapter 261 - The ancestors bone ornamen (2/2)

About a quarter of an hour later, the Shaman stopped writing, rolled up the animal skin volume, put it aside, and then looked up to Shao Xuan.

“How was the winter hunting?” The Shaman asked.

“It was good, probably because we are not deep in the forest, the ferocious beasts we met are not strong. Even when it is snowing, we can still go out for hunting, but we get less prey. We’ve almost removed all the dangerous creatures on the border.” Shao Xuan said.

The border he mentioned was the junction between the Flaming Horns tribe and the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest a thousand years ago. Now the Shaman and the chief had changed that into a border. The hunting warriors needed to reach there and remove all the dangerous creatures, only then would their task be completed.

At the border, large stones engraved with words and totem patterns could be found, which had been left by the ancestors. The stones were broken to some degree, and some were buried in the earth.

“Yes.” The Shaman said calmly and made a small nod. He had already learned about what Shao Xuan said, right now he was just asking him casually. This was not the reason why he asked Shao Xuan to come here today.

The Shaman turned around and walked into another room. He took out a stone box with a respectful attitude, as if it was treasure in his hand.

Shao Xuan saw it and sat with his back straight. He knew that the Shaman only treated the things of the ancestors in such a way. However, why did the Shaman take it out?

After carefully placing the stone box on a low table, the Shaman opened it and took out a bone ornament from it. There was also a faint ball in the middle of the bone ornament.

Shao Xuan was familiar with this. When he had carried the ancestors on his back out of the cave where the king stone worm lived, he had seen one of the ancestors wearing such a bone ornament. Later the Shaman also told him that the ancestor with the bone ornament was one of the elders in the tribe.

“Do you remember this?” The Shaman asked.

“I remember.” Shao Xuan said. He still remembered that this bone ornament was a treasure, for it could resist the attack of the king stone worm. That was why the ancestors could stay intact in the cave.

The Shaman sighed, held the bone ornament in his hands and passed it to Shao Xuan. “This bone ornament, you keep it. You wear it at the ritual ceremony after the end of winter.”

Shao Xuan was surprised, “This is... for me. What if I lose it?”

The Shaman’s sad face twitched and looked at Shao Xuan without a facial expression. [If you remember, poker face shaman, angry shaman.]

“Nevermind.” Quickly taking the bone ornament, Shao Xuan asked again: “Why do you want me to wear it? Didn’t you say only an elder can wear it?”

“Yes.” The Shaman looked at Shaw Xuan with mixed feelings, “If you can light it, you are an elder.”

“This is left by the ancestors, it cannot be lit so easily.” Shao Xuan said. He was not a fire seed, how could he light it? He thought he was too young to an elder in the tribe.

“I am not sure. Have a try.” The Shaman said. Since he brought it out, he did not intend to change his mind. The reason why he did so was that he just wanted to see if the bone ornament could be lit again.
