At this time, no one knows exactly where the indigenous people of the island of Taiwan come from. However, because of political needs, everyone consciously or unconsciously believes that they are descendants of the ancient Yue people, at least from the custom of "wearing tattoos", it is in line with the records of ancient books.

However, no one can explain why these descendants of Gu Yue have the habit of headhunting.

Yue country is built by the Xia Hou clan, the purpose of the establishment of the country is to sacrifice Dayu, and there is no headhunting sacrifice in the summer ceremony. The indigenous people of Taiwan not only have the custom of headhunting, but also sublimate it into a complete set of ritual forms, from initiation to organization, then divination and hunting, and then hunting people's heads, scalp cutting commemoration, drinking blood and wine to celebrate...... This is no longer just a brutal killing.

Li Zhenxu arrived on the island of Taiwan, relying on his supernatural light body and concealing kung fu, and followed the local natives' "out of the grass". The grass was not directed against the Han people, but against another indigenous tribe. He saw with his own eyes the process from the hunt to the return, and also saw the natives break open the mouths of the dead, pour in wine, and then take the blood wine from the neck and drink it.

This night peeping is probably the closest Han Chinese operation to the indigenous people, and it is extremely dangerous, but it cannot be repeated. Even Li Zhenxu himself was not sure if he would be able to escape if he went again.

……

"As a teacher, I want to go to the big-bellied country and discuss with the lord of the country." Li Zhenxu looked around at the disciples seated: "You are here to make a good living, and those who seek medical advice must not be taken lightly." ”

All the disciples asked to go with them and carry the luggage for the master. Li Zhenxu knew the ability of the various apprentices of the Dao, if something happened, he might be able to escape by taking the road, and these apprentices would probably have to stay there and be sacrificed.

I heard that a celestial master was going to the country of Big Potbelly, but the local Han people refused to let him go alone.

There was a Hermes-Epitek who was treated by Li Zhenxu. Brought his son to Li Zhenxu and said sincerely: "Dao Chief, you are a foreigner, you don't understand the language, and the customs are unknown, how can you rush forward?" My eldest son's name is Chen Nianzu. I have followed the Hongyi people to the country of big belly, and there are also people who know each other there, so it is better to let him be a guide. ”

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Chen Nianzu was only wearing a sackcloth on his body, revealing his thin body bones inside. A pair of eyes are pitch black, dripping and swirling, and they look very smart.

"Dao Chief, I really know Fanzi there, just looking for him to lead the way." Chen Nianzu said: "If there are no locals to bring it in. They will lie down in the grass and cut off people's heads. ”

Li Zhenxu was not afraid, and touched the top of Chen Nianzu's head indifferently: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Chen Nianzu smiled: "I may be afraid of the others, but what am I afraid of?" I've been there many times, so I'm an acquaintance. ”

Li Zhenxu looked at the expectant eyes of the father and son, thinking that it was better to have a guide than to break through by himself, so he nodded and agreed, and made an appointment on the road. He also paid for Chen Nianzu to buy some gifts that the locals could see, and then he went to the country where the big belly is located.

Li Zhenxu and others went ashore in the harbor. The village where he lives is also near the port. One hundred and fifty miles south from Xiaogang is the fortress of the Dutch, and one hundred and fifty miles north is the big belly country built by the natives of Taiwan. The Hermes-Epitek who crossed the sea first also called it Fanzaiguo.

The distance of one hundred and fifty miles was enough for Li Zhenxu and Chen Nianzu to spend three days.

Some places can be borrowed, while others can only be detoured, otherwise they will be ambushed by the natives. Li Zhenxu listened to Chen Nianzu's introduction of the stories of local people along the way, and he couldn't help but be glad to have brought him such a guide, saving a lot of trouble.

Chen Nianzu is indeed worthy of the word guide, and he is very familiar with the villages and communities along the way. Knowing the needs of each family, and offering gifts respectfully, people will not be embarrassed. Speaking of which, these villages and communities living on flat land all belong to the Pingpu people, which is what the Han people call "Shufan". Those who still live in the mountains are completely unable to communicate.

The Potbelly Kingdom is a tribal alliance composed of Pingpu and Ripe Fans, with a total of twenty-two villages and communities under the jurisdiction of the Potbelly King. Today's potbelly king is over forty years old. The surname of the country is Ganzai, and his name is Alamy. Even they don't know how many generations of kings this is, and the only village community that can really be ruled is the big belly society from which they were born.

"It's like ancient China." Li Zhen made a brief comparison: "I think its king is quite famous among everyone. ”

"Fanzi calls him Le Ian, if it is translated into Chinese, it means the Lord of the Sun." Chen Nianzu said: "I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue." ”

"In a wild place, the horizon is not open, so there is a thing of arrogance in Yelang." Li Zhenxu stroked his beard and smiled: "I'll just follow the customs of the locals, there is no need to worry about this false name." ”

Chen Nianzu said secretly: This real person really knows current affairs, and we always had to bow down to other people's territory in the past.

The two walked and talked all the way, but they didn't feel bored. At noon on the third day, Li Zhenxu and the others walked to the bank of a wide river, and there was a big mountain on the other side of the river, like a hundred pheasants in a high city.

Chen Nianzu ran to the river, washed his face with water, dialed the water again, took out a gourd filled with water, handed it to Li Zhenxu and said, "Mr. drink water." After this river, it is the territory of the Potbelly Country. That mountain is called Big Belly Mountain. ”

Li Zhenxu took the gourd but didn't drink it, and said, "How can I contact your old friend?" ”

"This is simple," Chen Nianzu said, "his family lives on the other side of the river, and when I swim over, I will borrow a bamboo raft from him and come to pick him up." ”

Li Zhenxu nodded, found a boulder by the river and sat down to wait for Chen Nianzu to come back.

At this time, it was the hottest time in Taiwan, Chen Nianzu stripped off and went into the water, and he had already swam to the other side in a moment. A short walk further afield, I vaguely saw a simple village. The houses were made of thatch and banana leaves, and the surrounding areas were planted with miscellaneous trees on the ground, like fences, but they only marked the boundaries of the land, but they could not prevent anything.

When Chen Nianzu arrived outside the village, he didn't rush in, but just shouted: "He Bato! Tabato! ”

After a while, several men came out of the village, all of whom were only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and had no tattoos on their faces, indicating that they had not hunted their heads and were not yet adults. When the leader saw Chen Nianzu, his face was overjoyed, and he shouted, "Nianzu, you are here." "It was in Hokkien.

Chen Nianzu no longer spoke tongue-twisting official words, and only greeted him in Hokkien dialect.

Although he is not very old, he is the strongest among his companions, and he has the potential to be a leader. However, women are valued in the potbelly country, and although men can be kings, to put it bluntly, they are only the leaders of warriors, and the major affairs in the clan are decided by women. Because of this, Chen Nianzu prepared a lot of things that women liked, such as cloth, silver hairpins, and glass mirrors brought by Li Zhenxu.

Giving a gift to his mother first, Chen Nianzu was naturally welcomed by the whole village. He Bato also kindly took his partner across the river to pick up Li Zhenxu, and then entertained the two in the village.

It was the first time Li Zhenxu had seen such a hospitable person, and he had finally practiced all year round, and his heart was firm, and he was not surprised. His indifference also made the locals admire him and happy to be close to him. With Chen Nianzu's translation, Li Zhenxu also happened to ask about the customs, beliefs, and taboos among many local people, and was pleased to find that there were indeed ancient Yue relics among the local people.

These natives worship ancestral spirits and worship their ancestors, believing that their ancestors will protect or punish entire tribes. At the same time, they also have various nature worship and believe in animism. In terms of faith, it is clear that there is no conflict between the Turen and the Chinese.

"The body of the ancestors is gone, but the gods must live forever." Li Zhenxu said: "Therefore, if we worship them, we should treat them as if they are still alive, so that our ancestors can protect our descendants and others." ”

Chen Nianzu translated these words, and several elderly grandmothers in the village community were moved and said, "It turns out that there are also sensible people among the Han people. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Han people are sensible. It's just that some Han people are too far away from home and have no tutor, which makes people angry. Others are due to different customs. For example, when I Han people go to the house of a friendly neighbor, we have to greet their parents and worship their ancestors, and if we are here, I don't know if the Tao is offended. ”

After listening to the translation, several grandmothers looked happy: "As long as we don't break the taboo, we are also happy to see outsiders come to worship our ancestors." ”

The worship of ancestral spirits will derive the characteristic of "seeing death as life", because this belief itself is based on the coexistence of ancestral spirits with future generations. Failure to respect the ancestors of other families can lead to war. In the same way, respecting other people's ancestors will win favor.

Chen Nianzu didn't know the intention of Li Zhenxu, he only thought that it was the local custom of Jiangxi. According to some customs in Fujian, only men of seniority can enter the ancestral hall to worship, where is the turn of outsiders to worship? And even if you visit your friend's parents, you have to have a lifelong friendship, otherwise how can other people's parents see you easily?

Li Zhenxu said this with the temptation of temptation.

Induce these people to agree to worship their ancestors.

If the fan does not agree, he has nothing to lose; If you agree, it's a great opportunity to proselytize.

One of the pillars of Taoism is the ritual of science.

The purpose of the ritual is to communicate with the gods, but the real function is to use music, body, dance, art and mystery to inspire awe in the viewer's heart. With reverence, there is dependence, and thus faith arises.

Li Zhenxu didn't carry musical instruments or magic weapons, but it was not a problem for Gao Zhen at his level. After asking about the taboo, Li Zhenxu let out a long groan, focusing all the attention of all the people on himself and refreshing his mind. Immediately stepped on the gang step fight, the figure was fluttering, like a cloud crane, spitting out a spell, like chanting. If you change the stage and put on the lights, it is enough to call it the art of singing and dancing.

Whether civilized or ignorant, human temperament is the face of the soul.

Li Zhenhum is quiet and quiet, and natural qi naturally flows from his body. After the completion of a set of temporary grass worship rituals, the onlookers all admired and secretly felt ashamed: it turns out that the way we worshiped our ancestors before was really simple and almost simple!
