Chapter 17 (1/2)
Kabulu is dead.
The mysterious sacrifice man, who was 35 years old but looked like a hundred years old, died like this.
A few hours after that noon with the stone bear and her daughter, little kabulu, kabulu smiles and stops breathing in front of everyone in the high tree tribe.
Kabulu walked peacefully, as if there was no pain. Of course, before she died, she announced in front of the whole tribe that the next kabulu sacrifice was her daughter Hongyun.
As a result, this 20-year-old mother with two children became the highest priest of the gaoshu tribe and even more than 10 small tribes around.
The stone bear knows what all this means, because kabulu and her daughter Hongyun talked alone for nearly an hour before calling the whole tribe together. Even if the stone bear is ”the son of God”, he has to wait outside honestly.
After red cloud walked out of the cabin with red eyes, two hours later, kabulu closed his eyes slowly under the sad gaze of all the fallen people.
Because kabulu was dressed up before she died, there was no need to clean up her body. Just because she is the high priest of the tribe and the name of kabulu is very tall, the funeral of kabulu sacrifice will not be held until five days later, and her body will be buried in that wooden house for five days.
In the words of Hongyun, these five days are the time to send letters to the surrounding tribes. At that time, the great figures of red city and white city of Cherokee will also come to attend the funeral. After all, although kabulu is no longer the high priest of the whole Cherokee people, no one dares to underestimate kabulu.
After all, in the hundreds of years more than 200 years ago, kabulu sacrifice has always been the high priest of the Cherokee people. Even though the chief of the Cherokee people has changed many families, kabulu sacrifice has been standing. If it wasn't for that term of kabulu priest who took the initiative to step down as the Cherokee high priest, the whole Cherokee high priest would still be called ”kabulu high priest”.
Although her mother died, Hongyun didn't seem so sad. After all, as a future kabulu sacrifice, she can not have too much personal feelings from now on. It's like kabulu sacrifice, who just died. She has a daughter and two sons, but apart from paying close attention to Hongyun, she almost never cares about the other two sons.
In Hongyun's words, it's because mother has found potential in her own body, so she will take good care of herself. The reason is to cultivate herself into the next generation of kabulu.
After the death of the previous generation of kabulu sacrifice, the new generation of kabulu sacrifice will not become the new generation of kabulu sacrifice in front of all the Luo people until after the funeral of the old generation of kabulu sacrifice. This procedure has been carried out since that generation of kabulu worshipped the outgoing Cherokee high priest and came to the foot of Dawu Mountain.
Kabulu sacrifice is really important for the whole Cherokee people, even if they no longer serve as the high priest of Cherokee people, but every high priest of Cherokee people has great respect for kabulu sacrifice. Therefore, every time a new kabulu sacrifice takes office, Cherokee people will send great figures to witness it.
Although Hongyun has not become the official new generation of kabulu sacrifice, she also has certain power. For example, she now has the right to choose a ”Guardian” for herself.
