Chapter 401: Island Cannibal, Human Bone Rosary!(4k, Ask for Subscription!)
There's someone down there!
More than one.
But not a survivor.
It's a group of topless, wildly dressed island natives armed with all sorts of primitive blades!
The picture in front of me is too much information.
It took a long time for Lu Yu to react!
The next second.
He hurriedly retrieved the drone.
Make a silencing gesture to the camera.
Subsequently.
He is short.
Hiding himself behind a rock.
After making sure that no one has found it.
Only then did he poke his head out and look down at the col below.
The col is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
The terrain is flat and open.
During this period, there are many simple houses made of palm leaves.
Right in the middle of the clearing.
There was a pyre made of many tree branches.
Massive scale.
It is six or seven meters high.
Look at it from afar.
It's like a small pyramid.
I don't know how long the pyre burned.
But right now, the fire is still raging.
Billowing smoke.
Soar into the clouds.
The ground was full of ashes and unquenched coals.
"Nima ——!"
"What is the situation?"
"There's someone on the island?!"
"What are they doing?!"
"Feather, who is this?"
Lu Yu shook his head and remained silent.
Who these people are.
He didn't know either.
But what is certain is that these "primitive people" should be the primitive aborigines who have lived here for generations.
The vast Pacific Ocean has a vast sea.
There are many islands.
It's not uncommon to find island natives here.
But what made Lu Yu feel strange was that everything that was happening in front of him -
Wolf smoke rising from the island.
It's not a distress signal from a survivor at all.
It's this group of old natives who are doing the trick.
But the question is, what are they doing with such a big fire?
Is it an ancient custom?
Or is it something else?
I thought about it for a while.
Lu Yu didn't find an answer either.
To learn more about the "strange customs" of this primitive tribe.
He hurriedly controlled the drone and slowly pushed the camera closer-
Double.
Twice.
Thrice!
Soon.
As the distance gets closer.
The picture of the live broadcast is also getting clearer and clearer!
Soaring fire.
It was bright in all directions.
Around the fire.
Kneeling nearly one hundred and ten primitive natives.
The appearance of these people is similar to that of the Niue among the Polynesians.
It seems to be somewhat similar to the physical characteristics of the Chinese people!
"Brothers, look closely......"
"The appearance of these island natives is very close to that of us Chinese people. ”
"Whether it's skin color or facial features, you can find a lot of things in common. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, they and the Niue people are probably close relatives, and they are not descendants of the Tuvaluans, who belong to the race of Oceania. ”
The so-called Niue people are one of the ethnic groups in the south-central Pacific Ocean.
It is mainly found on the island of Niue in the south-central Pacific Ocean.
A branch of the Polynesians.
Less than half of the Niue population now lives on the island.
Most have migrated to places like New Zealand to earn a living.
It belongs to the race in Oceania.
Its ancestors moved from Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands more than 1,000 years ago, and their way of life is similar to that of other Polynesians in the surrounding area.
It's just that the race is different.
The former belongs to the race of Oceania.
The latter is a transitional type derived from the Caucasian race and the Asian American race.
......
In addition to obvious characteristics such as looks, race, etc.
The clothing and costumes of these indigenous people are also distinctive.
Slightly different from the average Polynesian.
Both men and women were naked.
Cover your shame with only a few hides and leaves.
In order not to attract over-management, Lu Yu also deliberately let the drone be coded.
But even so.
The style of painting is still very subtle.
attracted a lot of complaints from the audience:
"Honey Mosaic online!"
"A little yellow!"
“23333333333”
"Type with both hands to show your innocence!"
"Decisively bad reviews!"
"Sex please anchor, I called the police!"
Except for the part that covers the shame, all the natives have a disc-shaped white ornament hanging around their necks.
Oily and shiny against the firewood.
Looks like coconut shells.
But the color is different, and I don't know what it is.
In order to see more clearly.
Lu Yu hurriedly continued to push closer to the camera.
Adjust the multiplier to the highest.
He looked at it with a frown.
Outcome.
Don't look at it, but it's okay.
Just one eye.
A chill flashed in his eyes.
After a long pause, he spoke again:
"Brothers, these people wear human skulls around their necks......"
Rumble!
As soon as this sentence came out.
There was an instant uproar in the live broadcast room!
Everyone's hearts trembled.
accompanied by a weird BGM, his eyes widened:
"Skull?"
"Damn, really?"
"So violent?"
"I'm Nima, I'm scared to death!"
"Anchor, I'm still a teenager who has never seen the world, show me this, won't your conscience hurt? It's terrible!"
Skull.
Plainly.
It is the heavenly spirit cover of people.
Looking at the shape, eighty percent of these people cut their skulls in half and wore them separately.
Human bone ornaments.
It has been around since ancient times.
It's not exclusive to this place.
In inland China, Tibetan Buddhism has a tradition of using human bones to make rosary beads.
Commonly known as Gabala.
The materials used are generally made by the Buddhist master who has attained perfection and has cultivated himself, and then donates his skull, leg bones, and finger bones to make special magic weapons!
It is one of the tantric instruments.
This kind of human bone rosary is only used in Tantra Buddhism.
The human bones used in the human bone rosary are by no means the bones of ordinary people.
It must be the bones of a lama and a monk.
In Tibetan areas, celestial burials are popular, and lamas often feed their corpses to vultures after they die, so as to achieve the Buddhist realm of the ancestors cutting shares and feeding eagles.
The flesh has become the food of living beings.
As for the bones.
So I donated the tools......
Could it be that the primitive natives on the island also have this kind of realm?
Lu Yu shook his head.
Licked his lips gently.
He let out a long breath and said:
"This is by no means the Gabala of Tibetan Buddhism. ”
"Uncivilized savages will never have such a belief. ”
"In my opinion, they are most likely the rumored cannibals!"
When the three words cannibal popped out of Lu Yu's mouth, the barrage was full of question marks!
“?????”
", cannibal?!"
"Really?"
"Cannibalism?anchor, I only received nine years of compulsory education, don't lie to me!"
"It's disgusting!"
"This is the existence that stands at the top of the food chain (laughs and cries)!"
"Feather God, you must hide it, don't be discovered by them!"
"223333, but it's not certain who eats whom!"
"I'll go, it's dangerous!"
......
Cannibal rhetoric.
It was by no means that Lu Yu was alarmist.
It's a real primitive tribe!
The natives of the cannibal tribe, after eating human flesh, mostly collect human bones.
These bones.
It is mostly used to sacrifice and worship ancestors.
Of course, they also have practical uses.
That's counting.
The person who carries the most human bones on his body is the one who eats the most.
Such people generally hold important positions in the tribe.
Even if he is not a chief, he must be a very vocal character.
In a word.
It must not be an ordinary clansman.
Lu Yu roughly observed it.
As expected.
In addition to the skulls, there were many bones hanging from the bodies of the sturdy men who held the blades.
It seems that his assumption should be true......
This group of primitive people hidden in the depths of the ocean are really the descendants of cannibals!
......
When Lu Yu was meditating.
The question of whether cannibals exist in the barrage is getting more and more noisy.
It's got to the point where it's inseparable......
Although the scene is a bit tragic.
But the effect of the live broadcast is not to be said.
It only takes less than a minute.
The popularity value in the system has increased by 10,000!
calmed the emotions of the sailors.
Lu Yu lowered his voice and said with a wry smile:
"Brothers, don't quarrel yet. Now our first problem is not the problem of cannibals......"
In order to settle this dispute as soon as possible.
After taking a breath, he continued:
"The rumored cannibals do exist, and there's nothing to argue about. I'll bet you, nine times out of ten, these people are the descendants of cannibals......"
However, this cannibal is not another cannibal, let alone as depicted in science fiction movies, the so-called cannibals are just a branch of the ancient Indians of Latin America. ”
"Historically, people's perception of cannibals first came from some hearsay. ”
"In English, Cannibal and Caribbean are only one letter apart. These two words, translated into Chinese, are actually cannibals and Caribbeans. ”
"This farce originated from the great navigator Christopher Columbus, who once heard the natives talk about how the Caribbeans ate their captives, and heard a bad sound and pronounced r as n, so the cannibals became Cannibal. It is said that the Caribs would eat all the male captives alive, and even raise some young boys to eat them when they were fat, but this has never been confirmed......
"Most of the time, it's a lie, and then the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes. ”
Although many descriptions of cannibals to date are highly questionable.
Even for quite a long time, indigenous people and white Europeans suspected each other of being cannibals.
The reason is simple.
It's kind of funny to say.
Whites consider natives to be uncivilized savages.
And the natives thought.
The whites took their brothers to Europe solely to satisfy the European appetite for human flesh.
But anyway.
Many proven examples show that cannibalism is not accidental.
Cannibals do exist.
Archaeological evidence suggests that cannibalism was once widespread.
Morgan, a world-renowned expert on ancient history, once made a relevant argument in his "Ancient Society".
From the living conditions of a small number of primitive tribes left around the world in modern times, we can understand the living conditions of the ancient ancestors of modern civilized people.
Primitive tribes mostly have cannibalistic customs.
Therefore, the ancestors of civilized people should also have the custom of cannibalism.
But the natives living on this small island are the descendants of which cannibal tribe, Lu Yu is not sure.
After all, there is no deep contact yet.
However, what the audience said does have some truth.
At least, when the truth is not clarified, it cannot be completely denied.
Because in fact, the vast majority of primitive tribes have more or less "cannibalistic customs"!
If you argue from this point of view.
Say they're cannibals.
It's not an exaggeration.
Followed by.
Lu Yu continued:
In the summer of 1998, Professor Mara, a molecular biologist in the Department of Pathology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, conducted the world's first scientific experiment to test the phenomenon of cannibalism. ”
"The object of examination is a fossil of human feces from 1,150 years ago. ”
He wanted to look for a special human myoglobin in it. If this protein is present in the experimental feces, it proves that the person has ever eaten human flesh. Later it turned out that the owner of the feces had indeed eaten human flesh in the 12 to 36 hours before it was excreted!"
"More than 1,000 years ago, it wasn't that far from now. The place where this manure was extracted was a stone house inhabited by the ancient Indians of the Americas. Eventually, experts confirmed that the Grand Canyon area where it is located experienced a severe drought more than 1,000 years ago. The paleo-Indians had no choice but to eat each other because they had no harvest. ”
"In addition to famine, war, religion, hatred, and even the need for sacrifice are all real culprits that lead to cannibalism. What's more, in order to pray for good weather in the coming year, they will openly bring the same kind to the table. ”
Of course, not all of our own people are referred to here.
Overwhelmingly speaking.
Their goal is to invade the enemies of the tribe!
From the perspective of a cannibal, "people", as food, always have some kind of symbolic value and magic.
Food makes sense.
Cannibalism allows them to achieve some degree of self-improvement.
In other words, eating is definitely not just about living, eating anywhere is a cultural transformation. It integrates the individual into society and transforms the infirm into the strong.
It makes people feel recognized. Just like other fates that have happened in history.
When food transcends its own physical significance, it becomes a ritual.
In the 17th century, a French Dominican saw with his own eyes that Caribbeans would eat the corpses of their enemies after killing them to show their strength and strength.
"In numerous studies of the literature, it has been mentioned that cannibals devoured human flesh for the purpose of self-transformation, to show power, or to ritualize the relationship between eating and being eaten, in addition to nourishing the body. In other words, as with eating other foods, cannibals often want to share in the benefits of food. ”
They will take their enemies as prey and eat them, with the aim of "capturing souls" to compensate for the loss of their warriors. ”
"A few years ago, there was a popular science program that reported that the flower people of New Guinea would also eat the dead of their own people in order to keep something called Nu, which they believed was an important liquid that could not be regenerated in nature. Even, even for tribes that are keen on eating their own kind, cannibalism is not something that can be decided lightly. ”
"The part that the victim will eat is usually carefully selected, sometimes limited to a very small part, usually the human heart. This process is accompanied by a solemn ceremony. In the view of the flower people, eating the flesh of prisoners of war can obtain the power of the deceased, and as a supplement, the captor will also put on the human skin of the deceased, and hang the bones of the deceased around the neck as decoration, as we see now. ”
And that's not all.
In the eyes of many tribes, human flesh was the food of the gods.
Cannibalism is a form of communication between man and God.
It is also part of the practice of symbolic rule.
After Lu Yu said a lot of things, he completely dispelled the doubts of the audience.
Meantime.
Also redirected his attention to the pyre.
Trying to figure it out.
Why did this primitive tribe, which is keen on human flesh, build such a raging fire?
Is it a sacrifice?
Or is it being enshrined?
Or is it some kind of weird ritual before cannibalism?
When I was thinking about it.
In sight.
In a palm house, a group of people suddenly walked out.
These guys have words in their mouths.
He carried a stretcher-style wooden shelf in his hand.
There appears to be a corpse lying on it......
