Super Chief
Chapter 20: funeral
North American Indians, especially the Cherokee, practice burial.
On a sunny hillside south of the Gaoshu tribe, is the location of the tribe’s cemetery. As long as the people of the tribe die, they will be buried here.
In the center of the cemetery, there stands a stone totem pole about ten meters high. This totem pole was erected by the Kabulu priest who first led the tribe to live in this area.
It is no different from the totem poles of other tribes. This totem pole is completely built of stone. It is depicted with the **** of the sun as the head, the **** of the sky, the **** of the earth, the **** of thunder, the **** of rain, the **** of wind, the **** of eagle, and the **** of bear. , Many totem gods under the wolf god.
On this day, four long ribbons of different colors were hung on this totem pole. In the Cherokee belief, these four ribbons symbolized the four directions of the universe.
The black ribbon among the four ribbons symbolizes the Land of Thor (West), because the **** of thunder and lightning lives here and can bring rain to the people.
The white ribbon symbolizes the land of giants (north), because the great white cleansing wind blows from it.
The red ribbon symbolizes the place where the sun shines forever (East), the light will sprout from then on, the stars live here, and give human wisdom.
The yellow ribbon symbolizes the oncoming land (south), where the power of summer and the growth of all things comes out.
The four Holy Spirits gathered together to assist the sun **** to manage the sky and the earth.
Here, the aloft sun **** is like a broad-minded father, caring for his children.
Under the totem pole, there is a beautiful eagle feather and a bison leather.
The eagle feather symbolizes that the tribe will spread their wings and fly high like an eagle, while the wild cowhide symbolizes the mother earth.
In the Cherokee faith, all Cherokee people are like all the birds and beasts, flowers, plants and trees, born from this, and they will **** in the arms of this mother like a baby for the rest of their lives.
All the Cherokee people who came to the funeral lay down in front of this tall totem pole and prayed the most religious prayers.
When everyone had finished their prayers, the high priest from the Cherokee royal court personally presided over the funeral.
"All my people, the great Kabru priest has returned to the embrace of the Holy Spirit, let us see her off and pray..."
All the people’s mouths sent out a uniform "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" for half a minute.
Then the high priest began to pray to the totem pole: "Ancestor, the great Holy Spirit, you are eternal, you are the only. There is no one else to pray for except you. You create yourself, you create what Everything you see, you create everything; you complete all the stars in the starry sky; you create the four directions of this land. That day, that day, you created everything."
"Ancestors, great Holy Spirit, please lean down and listen to my voice. Please face the sunset, please look at me; God of thunder and lightning, look at me! Please face Look at me in the land of the white giant! Please look at me toward the place where the stars and daylight appear! Please look at me in the summer land! The eagle **** living above the sky Ah, please look! And you, Mother Earth, the only mother, it is you who pity your child!"
"Listen to my voice, the four directions of the earth-we are all children of the same mother! Please give me the strength to walk on the soft earth, the earth that nurtures all things! Please give me eyes, please Give me the ability, let me be like you, see everything clearly, understand everything. Only with your power, I can break through the predicament."
"Great Holy Spirit, Great Holy Spirit, my ancestors, on the earth, thousands of living beings belong to one family. Only with compassion can the earth breed all things. Only by treating these countless children and grandchildren equally can they be treated equally. Break through the predicament, embark on a good road to life, and walk to the day of rest."
"I pray here, please listen to my prayer! My voice is so weak, but so from the heart. Please listen to my prayer! Hey Kituyero..."
The high priest’s prayer lasted for a full half an hour. To be honest, Shi Xiong could not understand what the high priest was saying, but he could feel that the high priest was really doing it religiously. prayer.
All the people followed the prayers of the high priest, or bowed down, or prostrated themselves. Until the end of the prayer, the Kabul priest was put into the pit in a state of being crouched into a fetus. In the custom of North American Indians, the dead are buried in this way, which means returning to their origins. Every dead tribe will be buried in this way.
This time is what the Cherokee people call the "Month of the Beaver", which is also November of the AD. Because in this month, the weather starts to get cold. In addition to food, the Cherokee also need to wear , And the fur of the **** is the ideal material, so this month was named "Month of the Beaver".
The foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in November are already relatively cold, but at this time, the sky is raining again.
Because there are no east-west mountains in North America, almost all mountains are north-south, so the cold wind from the Arctic can invade from the northernmost part of the North American continent to the southernmost point without any barriers. Therefore, in the Great Smoky Mountains, in late autumn The cold rain looked particularly gloomy and cold.
As the guardian of the new generation of Kabru sacrifices, he has been by Hong Yun's side, and his position is also the best. Therefore, Shixiong can clearly see the leader of Li Lei lying on the sliding pole.
Leader Li Lei’s complexion is very bad, as pale as a dead man, and he is thinner than when he first saw him. The Stone Bear, who has rich experience in later generations, can easily judge the life expectancy of Leader Li Lei. How long will it be left.
In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, let alone the Indians, even Europeans are still practising bloodletting therapy. It is estimated that in more than ten years, the current French emperor Louis XV will be infected with smallpox. During the bloodletting to treat smallpox, he was killed because of the bleeding.
As for the European colonists in North America now, they still use bloodletting therapy for those unsolvable diseases, and this bloodletting therapy was also brought to North America by these colonists, and the Indians also learned bloodletting therapy.
The reason why Li Lei's face is so pale, it is estimated that this guy was often bled...
Where is the cure? This is simply a reminder!
Very strange, Shi Xiong didn't know how he did it. In such a solemn occasion, he had such an idea.
These lovely but sad Indians really need someone to save...
