Chapter 907: Exorcism

Chu Ge didn't know how to refute.

Things have developed to this point, which is far beyond his comprehension.

"That's ...... after all Thousands of years. ”

Chu Ge could only say this, "After thousands of years of accumulation, such an innocent little girl has been cultivated, and she is still at your mercy?" ”

"You still don't understand, the so-called 'wisdom' has never been a necessity for life, there are hundreds of millions of creatures on this planet that have never given birth to even the slightest light of wisdom, but they have lasted far longer than human beings, and even when human civilization is destroyed, they will continue to exist tenaciously for another billions of years."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "Turtles and cockroaches have existed since the era of the flood when the dinosaurs reigned supreme, they don't need wisdom, they still swagger to this day, and will continue to live comfortably, and even if they live for hundreds of millions of years, they cannot develop wisdom independently without external stimulation."

"Wisdom is just a tool created by chance when our hairless monkeys shivered in the cold wind of the jungle when their homes were destroyed and forced to drive them to the wasteland, in order to survive and catch their breath, and when the living environment is not so bad, wisdom has become an insignificant and even a waste of energy.

"Austronesians live in a peaceful and peaceful paradise where they don't need much wisdom to harvest food, and volcanic eruptions and tsunami earthquakes are problems that no amount of wisdom can solve, so they have no strong motivation to improve their wisdom.

"Amber is like the embodiment of the Austronesians, forgotten or sealed in the river of time for thousands of years, and for herself, these thousands of years are only a brief moment of immutability, continuous reincarnation."

Chu Ge let out a long breath of turbidity, shook his head slowly, and said, "I'm still ...... I can't believe it. ”

"Originally, I didn't believe it either."

Dr. Li Xinlian lowered her voice and said, "I discovered the island where amber lives about a year ago, when several research projects at hand were in trouble, and I was ridiculed and criticized by authorities in academic circles.

"Who knows, the planned 'Marine Paleontology Cemetery' has not yet been found, but I found Amber's people in the coastal area of a lonely island, and then after a storm, I happened to come to Amber's homeland, the legendary 'South Island'.

"I found that the natives of this island showed no signs of contact with the outside world, and their crude language and primitive writing, as if they had not been polished by time, still retained the purest form of many tribes in the South Seas thousands of years ago.

"With my professional intuition, I realized that I had discovered a primitive tribe that had been isolated for thousands of years, and that the history of this tribe would even surpass that of many other tribes of the same type in the deserts of Central Africa and the rainforests of South America for thousands of years, and that the tribe's population, elaborate sacrificial system, and relatively rich culture were far superior to those of the same type.

"This will be the most significant discovery of the year, nay, in the field of paleoanthropology since the Nirvana era!

"However, I know that I still have a shallow foundation in the academic circle, and once the news leaks out, those academic authorities, academic tyrants and academic lords will definitely flock to me and steal my research opportunities and even research results.

"So, I went into the Austronesian tribes in secret, ate and lived with the natives, and learned to live like an isolated primitive people.

"In this way, I hope to get first-hand information, write a few beautiful papers, compile them into a book, and maybe compile some easy-to-understand expedition records, and then present them to the public with the help of the Lionheart's power, so that I can be an instant hit and firmly occupy the position of 'the first person to discover the civilization of the Austronesians'."

"I have lived in several semi-civilized indigenous tribes, I have received professional training in this field, and I have not encountered too many difficulties in life with the Austronesians, who believe that I am a friend brought to them by God, and they all trust and like me, and I am slowly trying to learn their language and writing, and understand their customs and history.

"Most of the customs of the Austronesians are not much different from those of the other indigenous tribes scattered in the Java Islands, except that they are more antique and authentic.

"Only when it comes to dealing with one person that they seem particularly eccentric, and that's amber.

"I know that Amber is a witch doctor in a tribe, and in similar tribes, the status of witch doctors is at least revered, if not supreme, after the patriarch, the head, and the priest, or simply the chief, the head, and the priest.

"In the Austronesian tribes, Amber is indeed respectful most of the time, and Amber also performs the duties of a witch doctor, helping the people to heal bruises and bruises caused by wild animal bites.

"But on special days, such as the night when the moon is at its brightest and roundest, or when the tides are at its strongest and the storm is approaching, the tribesmen change their attitude as if they were crazy.

"The first time I encountered this special situation was on a full moon night when I could not see the stars, and I was sleeping soundly in the cave, but I was awakened by a noisy noise, and I saw that surrounded by countless torches, Amber was tied high on two crossed bamboo poles by the amiable people during the day.

"The people were all dressed in red and green, painted with oil, armed with sharp stone spears and heavy stone axes, and wore vicious masks.

"They also painted hideous patterns on Amber, as if Amber were a demon with teeth and claws.

"I was taken aback, I didn't understand what was going on, and I was hesitating whether I should stop it, but a familiar Austronesian told me not to worry, it was just an exorcism ritual, and he wanted to help me dress up and let me participate in it.

"Similar exorcism rituals are available in many primitive tribes and civilizations, and even the firecrackers we set off during the New Year are also a special exorcism ritual.

"I knew I couldn't and shouldn't stop the Austronesian rituals, but I had a vague feeling that their exorcisms were different from ordinary rituals, and that there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Sure enough, ordinary exorcism rituals are often performed by priests or priests wearing demon masks dancing for a while, symbolizing the ferocity of demons, and then warriors wearing god masks stand up and pretend to dance with guns and sticks to drive the demons away, representing that the tribe will turn evil into good fortune for a period of time in the future, and there are no taboos.

"The whole process, it should be a performance, no one will get hurt.

"However, during the exorcism ritual of the Austronesians, when the performance was over, the tribesmen actually grabbed fist-sized stones from the ground and threw them at the amber tied to the bamboo pole, symbolizing the 'demon'!"

"What!"

When Chu Ge heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Secretly observing Amber's reaction, she found that this "girl" who was hundreds or thousands of years old had a calm face, without sorrow or joy, as if she had long been used to it, and as if she was listening to another person's story.

"Those stones were picked up by the tribesmen during the day from the shore of the reef on the south side of the island, and the edges of the stones have been washed by the waves for millions of years, and they have long been sharp like daggers, and they have been smashed on the body, either broken tendons or a shocking gap."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "Everyone in the clan grabbed a stone and threw it at Amber, and the hard stones fell like raindrops, and in a short time the amber was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and it was terrible to see.

"However, before I could scream, an even more astonishing scene was staged—the amber, which seemed to be shattered and impossible to survive, had bunches of tender flesh sprouting from the blurred flesh, crisscrossing at a speed visible to the naked eye, 'weaving' into a new body.

"In just a few minutes, the newborn amber has grown delicate skin and regained its original appearance.

Of course, the mask on her face and the oil paint on her body that symbolized the demon were gone, as if the demons had been dispelled and she had been reborn.

The fierce and vicious people laughed one after another, untied the newborn amber from the bamboo pole, and sang and danced with her in a grand celebration.

"Before that, although I knew that Amber was the witch doctor of the tribe, and that she had some of the most basic healing techniques, I never knew that her healing skills were strong enough to 'bring the dead back to life'.

"I believe that the clansmen also know this, so they dare to perform such a realistic exorcism ritual.

"It's just that flesh and blood can be reshaped, but the pain is indelible, why do the people want Amber to be a demon, and Amber is willing to endure the pain to play this role? With these doubts in mind, I continued to live in the Austronesian tribe, but soon after, I discovered an even bigger secret. ”
