Forty Millenniums of Cultivation: Han Te Biography (XX) Ship and Cargo Worship
"I don't know what you mean, Teresa, don't all the magicians on the Emerald Continent perform magic like that?" Princess Axia pouted.
"That's just ship and cargo worship." Teresa said lightly, but said sternly.
"Worship of goods, what is that?" Princess Asha heard the quirky noun for the first time.
It's like she met this strange girl for the first time.
"Ship-cargo worship is also called cargo-cult worship, how should I explain it to you ..."
Theresa thought for a while, and said, "For example, in the middle of the vast ocean, there is an isolated island, and there are many aboriginal people living on the island, which are barbarians-you know, barbarians. ? "
"Of course."
The Kingdom of Eagles is not far from the Great Northern Land. Theresa has naturally seen the barbarian warriors who are shirtless, dressed in animal skins, and carrying Great Axe in the cold winds of rising cold accompanied by the blizzard.
"Indigenous people originally lived the primitive life of hunting and gathering. Although there were no natural enemies on the island, they lacked supplies, medicine and medicine, and even did not have the habit of farming and captivity. Their lives were extremely difficult and difficult. In the torment of the day, there has been a vain worship, and even has its own primitive religion, fully entrusting the fate of the impermanence to the so-called gods. "
Theresa Dao said, "One day, the powerful nations on the two sides of the ocean and the sea are fighting each other. All kinds of the most advanced ... The magic crystal Warship is chopping through the waves, and the magic airship is also running between the sea and the sky. The isolated island was discovered by the warring parties, and suddenly became a strategic strategic point for the military, a natural fortress and good port.
"So, an army of magical powers ascended the island.
"In front of the magic army armed to the teeth, the aborigines who rumored to drink blood naturally had no power to fight back, and they never even thought about resistance. In the face of the various magical magic released by the army, the aborigines completely regarded them as legends. The gods cheered for their arrival, worshipped and prayed for what they wanted.
"Although the magic army is strong, after all, it is unacceptable. If it is not necessary, it is not willing to provoke the local indigenous people. The two sides lived together on an isolated island under a strange tacit understanding.
"The magic army will naturally transform the isolated island and turn the original island into a true military fortress.
"The soldiers also have to practice and use magic crystals to get in touch with the rear.
"The surroundings are surrounded by the ocean and the sea. All the materials they need must rely on the magic crystal Warship for transportation, and even the magic airship to airdrop.
"So, during the years of war, the indigenous people on the isolated island saw the magic army from time to time to practice, and sometimes took a mysterious crystal ball, I do n’t know what to do, and soon there will be The magic airship airdropped a lot of materials, and the fragrant cans and even the fresh food preserved by magic are all delicious delicacies that the indigenous people have never tasted.
"Naturally, during the war, the hostile countries also tried their best to seize the island. Their army launched a large attack on the island. Their magical airship dropped a dazzling fireball, just like thousands of small suns were flying over the island. When it rises, the roar of the magic cannon extremely destroys the decaying shock wave, and it is better than the stormy waves.
"However, one day the war will end, it does n’t matter who wins or loses the magical powers on both sides of the ocean. In short, the smoke and corpses do not enter the endless seabed. Peace comes again. This isolated island has lost its military Value, the magic army evacuated here, leaving only the remains of the fragmented magic crystal Warship, magic airship and crystal ball.
"Indigenous people seem to have regained their past hardships but still peaceful lives.
"But their hearts can never return to peace.
"Several decades later, when adventurers set foot on this isolated island again, Sister Axia, guess what, they found out what the indigenous people are doing?"
Princess Axia listened to her and thought about for a long time, but couldn't think of it. She shook her head and said, "What are you doing?"
"Aboriginals put on the magic army and left them. The rusty armor and the sorcerer's robe, holding the broken sword and the magic wand that had lost their magic power, were learning the look of the magic army. To practice. "
Theresa said, "They also used branches and straw to create the magic crystal Warship and magic airship for a grand festival, and even used the prisoners of the hostile tribe to blood sacrifice these imaginary 'Warship' and ' 'Airship' thinks that as long as enough blood is spilled, the toy made up of these branches and straw will become a real war machine.
"Right, there were no hostile tribes on the isolated island.
"However, the indigenous people found the flags of the two great magic powers, and somehow they gathered under different flags, somehow turned into hostile parties, using simple stone axes and bone spears to continue this long-standing War.
"The most ridiculous is the priests in the ethnic group.
"His mission is to put on the uniform of the signal soldiers in the old magic army, curled up in the dark and damp military fortress, and pray day and day against the already dim crystal ball, praying for nothing. The impossible God Spiritual Energy is enough to come again, airdrop to them the delicious food that they can not eat, the magic drugs that can bring people back to life, and the magic cannon that can emit blazing flames and thunder and lightning.
"Naturally, the crystal ball has never responded to the prayers of the priest and the entire ethnic group.
"But the faith of the indigenous people has not collapsed. They firmly believe that this is because their prayers are not yet pious, or there are still hostile tribes on the island, which is the reason for the evil spirits.
"The advent of adventurers strengthened their beliefs. They regarded the adventurers as messengers of the gods. They were astonished at the magical items that the adventurers took out, even the adventurers gave them to children. The colorful candy is regarded as spirit pill elixir.
"In short, an original Civilization that is backward and obscure, seeing incomprehensible advanced Civilization and super technology, will instinctively explain everything with gods and superstitions, take the super technology as a blessing or curse of gods and demons, and imitate randomly, eager to own 'gods and demons power', this is 'shipping cargo worship'. "
Princess Ashe heard this and could n’t help laughing: “These indigenous people are so stupid. This is the story you made. Theresa, the barbarians of the Great Northern Land, are not so stupid!”
"Yeah, the Frost barbarians in the" Nightland "of the Great Northern Land are not so stupid."
Theresa sighed, lightly said, "However, in this world, there are people who are more stupid than Frost barbarian and Insular Island Natives, but I do n’t know how many!"
