Chapter 402: Cremation and Sacrifice, Descendants of Civilization! (Ask for Subscription!)
What are these people doing?
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu's eyebrows were entangled again.
There are even more doubts in my heart.
Could it really be that this group of primitive natives is performing some kind of mysterious ritual as they suspected?
The corpse on the wooden stretcher, thin and scary.
Messy gray hair, which has fallen out to the point where not much is left.
The whole thing is a piece of skin.
The folded and festering skin was painted with all kinds of strange colored charms.
But even this could not completely cover the large corpse spots.
It seems that this corpse should have been left to dry for a long time after death.
Otherwise.
It can't be like this.
At this time.
Several men, five big and three thick, had already carried the stretcher where the corpse was stored and walked to the campfire.
Soon, after putting on a very reverent appearance, they fell to their knees on one knee and said something in their mouths.
He kept saying incantations that he didn't understand at all.
At the same time, the people who were kneeling around also echoed it.
The sound grew louder and louder, resounding throughout the col.
It seems that they are supposed to be worshipping this dead body.
Who is this man?
Why is there such a big show?
Could it be the heavyweight ruler of the tribe?
Or is it just their unique way of paying homage and has nothing to do with the identity of the deceased?
Lu Yu was silent.
Hide behind rocks and keep looking.
The next second.
Before everyone could finish speaking, the swarthy strong men had already pushed the stretcher's special slide into the fire.
The charm painted on the corpse is most likely some kind of flammable material.
As soon as it caught fire, it burned fiercely!
Immediately afterwards, all the worshippers bowed their heads and bowed down.
There are words in the mouth, and they still don't stop.
It lasted nearly five minutes!
After looking at it for a while, Lu Yu lowered his voice and slowly spoke:
"Brothers, if I'm not mistaken, these people should be cremated to commemorate the dead. Judging from this battle, the deceased was certainly not an ordinary tribesman. Even if he is not a chief, he is a high-ranking and powerful being. ”
"Cremation, this method, was very popular among the ancient Indians and was popular for a long time. ”
"Perhaps, they should be like us, believing that the dead undead can be reborn from the fire......"
Between words.
In the eastern sky, the long-lost fish belly white finally appeared.
The surrounding light gradually became clearer.
In order not to let these natives find themselves and cause unnecessary trouble, Lu Yu took the drone back, put it in a relatively hidden place, and continued to shoot.
After another moment.
After the crowd finished speaking, an old man and a young man kneeling in the front row of the crowd suddenly stood up.
The old man was gray-haired, and he was almost old.
On his neck, there are many bones, a pair of long ears are particularly eye-catching, with pierced ears on them, and a string of earrings of unknown material hanging, which looks very eye-catching.
The little kid standing next to him looked pretty much the same.
The earlobes were so long that they almost drooped to the shoulders.
The young man is no more than ten years old, with clear pupils and a cold face.
The expression is somewhat complicated.
Just stared at the campfire, stunned.
"This old and young are so strange, look at their ears ......"
Facing the camera, Lu Yu didn't finish his sentence, and his heart shook involuntarily.
Long ears?
Thinking of this, his expression immediately changed, and he continued to say in a deep voice:
"Brothers, remember those frescoes in the temple?"
"The history of Euredia recorded above has depicted the morphological characteristics of its own people, including those gargoyle warriors, whose ears are different from ordinary people......"
"The Olidians have destroyed their civilization after a massive armed invasion. Before that, I said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so there must be survivors in such a prosperous civilization. ”
"Could it be that these cannibals are the descendants of the Ollydians?!"
After listening to Lu Yu's words, the audience in the live broadcast room said that this was reasonable!
First of all, it's not far from Olidia.
Theoretically, this is a real possibility.
Secondly, according to the descriptions and records on the frescoes, the distinctive characteristics of long ears are also one of the most favorable evidence.
"it!"
"Surprised!"
"This time it's interesting!"
"Just ask if you're panicking now?"
"It's not that simple, is it?"
Whether or not these island natives are descendants of the Olidians?
Lu Yu didn't dare to guarantee the ticket.
But it is undeniable that there must be some kind of connection between the two.
Both believe in the creed of "respect for the length of the ear".
It's not a coincidence!
......
Between words.
An old man and a young man knelt in front of the fire for a long time.
I never had the intention of getting up.
Looks like.
This memorial ceremony should have just begun.
Judging from the scene, the old man and the young man should be close relatives of the "man in the fire".
It's not just a successor or something.
Because apart from these two, the other clansmen did not have such distinct characteristics.
Among the many primitive tribes of the Polynesian nation, they always like to use a special feature that is different from ordinary people, and divide the tribe into three, six, nine and so on.
Some than ears.
Some than eyebrows.
There's more than hair......
The logic of these primitive natives is very simple and crude.
The Olidian people are revered for their long ears, and they are no exception.
To put it more clearly.
From the moment a person is born and landed, his status in the tribe may have been settled.
For these uncivilized barbarians, wisdom and strength cannot be a bargaining chip for their counterattack.
Because of your congenital deficiencies, you have laid the foundation for your future life path.
This is why many primitive tribes follow the hereditary system.
But in fact, it's just genes at work.
It is not at all a measure of whether a person is good enough.
To a modern person, this may sound absurd.
But in their eyes, this is the will of the gods and ancestors, and future generations must not disobey it.
......
The whole memorial activity is very cumbersome.
Bizarre links emerge in endlessly.
Hiding behind the rocks and watching for a while, Lu Yu didn't see the reason.
I don't know what these island natives are doing.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, I was a little uninterested, and I turned around and wanted to leave.
Since no one was killed.
If you continue to stay here, it's useless.
If you don't get it right, you might get into some tricky trouble.
The natives of these primitive tribes are not very friendly to outsiders.
One is because of the language barrier.
The second is because of the occlusion of a corner, the defensive psychology is very heavy.
If it is found, there must be no good fruit to eat.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu contacted the broadcast studio.
Tell them it's just a false alarm.
No one was killed on the island.
There are no so-called survivors either.
Soon.
After a few brief words of communication, Lu Yu looked around.
I found a way to go.
Immediately went down the mountain.
But the result is no coincidence.
Not yet two steps away.
The unthinkable happened......
