The island owner is waiting to see Lu Yu's joke.
Hehe smiled, expecting to see the horrified expression on his face and crazy vomiting.
But these...
He didn't see it.
Instead, seeing Lu Yu sighed comfortably.
Just... sighed.
The island owner was taken aback and asked: "Did you want to eat it before? That's why you looked for it?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Of course not. Although that Mou Mou...well, his status is not high, he is just an animal, and he still pulls a boat, but I think I am friends with him, so he died suddenly, so I will come naturally. survey."
"Oh? Then you ate your friends, is there nothing... accident?"
"Accidents? There must be some, but it's just... there are some accidents, and the others are nothing."
The island owner was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You really surprised me a bit, can you tell me... why?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "You haven't said your own reason yet, but you have to ask me first... Well, I don't think there is any problem with this thing. After all, I didn't kill it, I just ate it. Corpse. Once... I went to a mysterious place where a group of indigenous people lived. They are famous because they cannibals and are called cannibals! So based on these three words, people imagined a lot of terrible things. For example, they will catch any invaders and cut off their thighs while the opponent is alive, and eat them raw in front of the opponent, or eat them after they are cooked. Whatever they think... A kind of horror, because the person who is eaten will experience a kind of despair that cannot be spoken, and the imaginary will have some empathy for this kind of despair, so it is horrible. But in fact... these so-called conjectures are really just conjectures. Cannibals don’t eat everyone, they just eat the corpses of their relatives when they pass away. It's a form of... funeral."
The island owner was taken aback again, frowning and said: "There is such a thing? That's really... kind of strange."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Oh? So, you will eat your friends but not your relatives?"
The island owner said angrily: "I am a hobby, but I am not a lunatic!"
Lu Yu laughed and said, "In fact, those people are not crazy, on the contrary, they are very sensible, and even... they have their own reasons, and they sound good reasons."
"There is still a high-sounding reason for doing this kind of thing?"
"Yes." Lu Yu said with a smile: "Many people do not understand them, so they will naturally question them. After a long, long time of communication, they barely study their language and then understand what they think. They first asked about each other's funeral methods. Some people said it was burned, some people said it was buried. As a result... Those cannibals were surprised! Asked why they were buried. Those people naturally said that burying means returning dust to dust. People come from heaven and earth, and naturally after death To go back to the world, the so-called peace in the soil, only buried in the soil is safe. As a result... On the contrary, the cannibals will ask, why are you so cruel? Cruel? Hehe, listen, ordinary people are actually being smashed. The cannibal guys call it cruel, what an interesting thing, so those people naturally want to ask, where are they cruel? The cannibals said, buried in the ground, that is, let the skin and flesh rot and become ugly. The stench is inevitable. Then it will be swallowed up by the underground bugs, and there is nothing left to eat. As a result, what you call into the soil is to feed your own relatives to the bugs. When those people heard the other party say this, of course they resisted. , So even so, it’s better than you guys who would eat their loved ones! And those cannibals said directly that they eat, only if they eat, can they really keep their loved ones and integrate their blood and flesh with their bodies. As one body, in this way, as long as you live, your loved ones will live too! When you die one day, and your children and grandchildren will eat yourself, and your body will become one with them, as long as they live, then you will be Still alive, in this way, a person’s body carries all of his ancestors. Those ancestors will turn into the most primitive power, allowing them to face the cruelty of nature... Isn’t this a good thing? "
Having said that, Lu Yu quietly looked at the island owner and saw a slight change in his expression.
Then he continued: "So these things... It's very strange. It's just that people have different ideas. Even the terrifying cannibals are actually different in their beliefs and pursuits. Ordinary people like burials and graves. Maybe... because ordinary people think that there will be an afterlife, and after reincarnation, people will be reborn! It is precisely because of this belief that there will be such a form of funeral and burial, but the cannibal tribe? The belief there is immortality, but It is the power of inheritance from generation to generation. They don't think there will be an afterlife. They want to live forever, so they came up with a way to let their children and grandchildren eat themselves. As long as there is continuity, there are children and grandchildren, then their own lives... Will exist in this form between heaven and earth forever..."
Hearing this, the island owner was really moved, and he lowered his head in thought.
Lu Yu still kept saying, "But in fact, why a person is a human and why a Protoss is a Protoss, why do your eyes grow like this, why are your noses like this, why are they tall? Why are they short? What kind of color does it look like... Wait, wait, what's your premise as an independent individual? Who determines these things and who makes them? What influences them? That is... In our family, we call it Gene, you should still be accustomed to using the word inheritance here. You will definitely look like one of your relatives, or father, or mother, or uncle, or grandparents, after all, there is someone who looks like you, no, exactly Say, you look a lot like them. Because you have this kind of gene in your body, although after continuous mixing, continuous enrichment, continuous integration and then selection and integration and selection... But no matter how many generations you have experienced... In other words In the simplest and clearest terms, you must still have the blood of your ancestors! You are a part of a blood, a small part, but an indispensable part, only you give birth to a child, especially a boy. The bloodline will continue to spread. Not only your bloodline spreads, but the bloodline of your ancestors will also spread with you. As long as the bloodline continues, the inheritance of the ancestors will not be destroyed! It is equivalent to their eternal living in this world … If you look at it this way, bury your loved ones or eat them. Except for whether you can accept this question in your heart, which one do you think is more…respect for the ancestors and ancestors?"
"This… "
The island owner was a little speechless for a while, because he didn't know why, he was a bit biased towards the latter!
Lu Yu smiled and said, "But to put it bluntly, the matter of the dead is the matter of the living. In fact, this form of death is always beneficial to the living."
Suddenly, there was a huge turning point, and all the good expectations and the inheritance of filial piety were suddenly described as naked interests... This made the island owner no way to react immediately.
And all of this was deliberately done by Lu Yu. It involved the issue of values and even beliefs with a thing that ate Mou Mou, and the other party followed his rhythm without knowing it, and even forgotten what he wanted. It was something that slowly gave Lu Yu a bite to eat.
The island owner asked: "It is advantageous for those who have more lives? What is going on?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "In fact, the form of funeral and interment has changed many times in the long history. Every time... because of problems, people have to change. Although the process is painful and struggle, in the end people I still accepted it, and took this method that has changed countless times as a fundamental... and then went to compete with the updated form... just like the struggle of burial and eating, in fact... it's all for profit."
"What's the benefit here? No matter how you look at it, you can't get any benefit from the dead, right?"
The island owner became completely curious, and even sat directly opposite Lu Yu.
He didn't realize that during this period, some of his values... have undergone slight changes.
