Chapter 684: The Origin of the Hunter's Head
"It's not just him, Wang San, we are more or less depressed in our hearts at this time, especially me, I asked the village chief in person and revealed such information."
Because in such a condition and environment, after you ask someone and record something that is deceived, the clue will be cut off, and you will seek the clue again.
”
Immediately afterwards, we imposed a large-scale lockdown on the scene of the crime. First investigate the real cause of death of these people, and then ban this village after investigating it clearly. Then I thought about how to eliminate all kinds of vices in this village.
At this moment, however, I saw a man running towards our position.
"Ahh Xiu'er! Oh my show! He still hasn't let you go after all! Later, I will find those eight lambs and come back to avenge you, and burn them all, all of them, haha! ”
He let out that heart-rending cry! While crying and shouting, he talked about such a vicious plan. ”
"Maybe it's because he roared too loudly, he was tired of roaring, his mouth was wide open, and he kept running over and kept shouting Yunxiu's name! Then he couldn't make any noise, and he was dumbfounded. "That's right! This is the villager who said he wanted to show us the way, and the villager who told us different news that is inconsistent with the village chief's statement! ”
"He has been placed in this car by us during this operation, and he was sedated before due to his emotional instability!
Then he knelt down, calling Xiu'er's name in his mouth, and he couldn't recognize which one was her dead relative, or maybe that person was his daughter-in-law!
Some of the information we inquired about before was also heavily denied by what he said, and now he is the focus of attention. Then we came to his side and took him back to the police station when he stabilized!
I walked up next to him, and he suddenly stood up to us and said.
"You don't have to bother anymore, I'll tell you everything I know." At this moment, he said suddenly.
"Because I need your help to get rid of all these guilty villagers!"
"Let's talk about the situation on your side first, I hope you don't lie to us, otherwise this matter will be difficult to say." I said to him.
"My name is Qian Youcai, since I was born and have a memory, I faintly heard people of my parents' generation occasionally talk about some news about the tiger's color change, I didn't understand it at the time, I only later learned that one of my sisters had been taken to sacrifice by the village before me." That night, when it came to this moment, Qian Youcai couldn't help but feel sad. The villager began to pause,
He seemed to be caught up in deep memories
。
"Boy and his father, do you really want to do this, she is your own flesh and blood, as the old saying goes: Tiger poison does not eat children! You're pushing our daughter into the fire pit, you madman, how did I fall in love with you in the first place! ”
"Calm down! You see, this strange atmosphere in the village has been around for a long time, and as long as the chosen family is selected, there are not many who do not follow the old rules in the village! Don't you know the previous examples? But whoever resists, which family is not hunted down and killed! Do you think I can bear to watch my daughter die in vain, is my heart made of iron? ”
"From that moment on, I vaguely understood something. Although I was still young, I didn't have much contact with my sister, but I could see the horror in her eyes, the whole family was hidden from me alone, and I was the only one who didn't understand at that moment that there was such a group of murderers in the village who were killing people openly under the banner of sacrifice behind their backs! Qian Youcai said overwhelmed.
"My parents were hesitating to hand over my sister that night, and I really didn't know what was going on. Why should I lose a sister and will she ever come back!
”
Then I found out something very important in their casual conversation! The people of this village believe in ghosts and gods, and they don't know where to hear the legend that every year a woman is required to be sacrificed.
Later, an old man preached for us. This custom has existed since ancient times.
“
It is said that this ritual is the only cruel and inhumane ritual that has been preserved for so many years.
”
"Hunting human heads" blood sacrifice - called: the most * sacrificial activity. ”
The blood sacrifice of the "hunter's head" can be traced back to the Warring States period. In remote and impoverished areas, productivity is very low. Naturally, the villagers could not escape the painful calamities caused by natural death and disease, and could only pray for relief from various calamities by worshipping ghosts and gods. Seek a smooth life.
”
The "hunting of human heads" was the most fashionable and sacred sacrifice at that time.
They used the heads they hunted to sacrifice to the "gods" who ruled all things! "The supreme deity who governs all things prays for a bountiful harvest of grains, good weather and good weather, and blesses the safety of people and animals in the villages of this tribe.
The "head hunting" sacrifice is carried out before the beginning of each year, and if it is not hunted before the year, it can be changed to the autumn harvest.
Now, somehow, it's become a monthly festival.
At that time, grand religious ceremonies such as headhunting, head sacrifice, and head delivery will also be held.
The old man also said that whenever it was time for the sacrifice, the hunters in the stockade would go out of the stockade and sprinkle sand and bones in a relatively hidden place to set up an altar.
However, hunters hide around the altar. If someone accidentally stepped into an altar sprinkled with bones and sand, the hunter would shoot them with poisoned arrows and then cut off the head and carry it to the stockade. The village chief and the steward in the village put the head on the head pile with the owner of the village, and led the whole village to hold a sacrificial ceremony in front of the head pile. Very cruel!
In the time of waiting for the sacrifice, the whole village will give the things at home to the beheaded person for him to eat, and will also select the most dignified and parallel person in the village to practice for him, and when the time comes, the beheading ceremony will be held.
The beheaded, who may be angry and frightened by the beheading three days later, has become a hero in the village, offering his head for a good harvest in the coming year.
Through a solemn memorial ceremony, the human head will be offered on the human head pile as a totem to protect the safety of the village
"The people were chosen the night before, and then they were taken to the cold water prison in that village for a night of torment, without food or drink, and when they were ready, they were notified to everyone the next day, and then the sacrifice began.
First of all, the head of the person is cruelly put on the stake and hung it, which is very infiltrating!
Huang Na got up at this moment and said, "I learned about this in the book before!" After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most local people made a direct transition from a primitive society to a socialist society.
Many tribes have come to understand the pain of killing each other.
In 1958, the cruel and terrifying custom of sacrificing the "hunter's head" was completely abolished.
Cattle heads were hunted for sacrifices.
Since then, the skulls at the edge of the village have gradually disappeared, but some tribal vices have persisted, and the deep sound of wooden drums pays tribute to those who have gone before them.
"But now it is a society of reform and opening up, and it has long developed into a communist socialist society! You're a primitive tribe, and sooner or later you're going to be outlawed! ”
"I ...... I didn't know! At this time, Qian Youcai said in shock.
"Okay, let him continue
。 I proposed.
After the good person was determined, the first night the person was selected, and he was taken to the prison in our village for a night of torment, not allowed to sleep, not to eat or drink to that person, and after being ready, everyone was notified to participate in the sacrifice the next day, and then the sacrifice began.
The ritual was brutal, and from beginning to end, the whole process was full of bloody violence, and at the beginning, the people were summoned under a secret platform, and then we began a series of preparations.
