Chapter 652 The Birth of "Witchcraft"
Yuki didn't know that this kind of thing had happened many times in history.

Hurting beasts, mindless natural disasters, and even bullies who do harm to one side are remembered in various forms.Perhaps at the beginning, it was just the parents who wanted to use stories to leave a "lesson" for the children, but soon, the customs will be formed, and then transformed and become sacred.

I don't know how many gods and saints in the hearts of future generations were actually just murderers and arsonists during their lifetimes.

This has happened many times before, and it is happening now.

"But..." Yuki pointed to the stick stuck in the gate of the town, "Why would they show respect to that stick?"

"In the beginning, maybe I just wanted to use this thing to scare some green forests in other places." Six days thought: "Three years ago, the local green forests were shaved over and over again during the battle between the government and the knights. It's been a long time since there was any trouble...Maybe they feel that the stick has an obvious effect, and then they have a respect for this stick?"

Yuki was stunned: "How is this possible? The owner of this stick was beaten to death in front of them! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Ah!" Liuri pointed at Yuki, "Sure enough, at this time you..."

"What what?" Han Zhun was the only one here, out of the situation, "What are you talking about? Silver transmission shaft Leif? Isn't that the famous green forest tyrant? He was killed three years ago? No wonder he went to see the most wanted list At the time, the people disappeared... By the way, how do you know so well? You are indeed knights!"

Now that Liu Ri realized that "Senior Anonymous chopped off the silver transmission shaft Leif", he was satisfied.In his mind, Senior Unknown is a great hero, great hero, great knight, and great master who can kill even the Moon Ranger at will. It is not surprising to kill someone who is on the list.He just knew a little about this senior's past.

He said to Yuki: "This kind of thing, people will selectively forget. You have to know that there is always a deep-rooted illusion in the human heart, called 'everything is connected', and 'this connection must be based on one and the same truth'."

Yuki couldn't believe it.In fact, Xiang Shan had said similar things to him.However, Xiang Shan's evaluation at the time was, "Human beings have created a scientific paradigm based on such nihility and delusion. Thinking about it carefully, it is quite remarkable."

But if you think about it carefully, this is probably the more common form of this "empty delusion".

Humans often connect two unrelated things together, thinking that "there is a mysterious connection between them", and then write down this rule and never forget it.

Sometimes, two different things that people think are related may indeed be directly related, or it may be that the two things are different "effects" of the same "cause", and there is such an indirect relationship between the two. (Such as "a certain area has a high incidence of malaria" and "this area has a low incidence of diabetes", both of which are a result of "poverty", not "malaria can cure/relieve diabetes".)
But more often than not, different things that are thought to be related may not really be connected even indirectly, just by coincidence.

For example, concepts such as "lucky color".

But human beings inevitably like to seek an explanation for some things that they can't figure out for a while.

Some scientific research knights believe that in ancient times, individuals who could quickly associate "the rustling of the grass" with "the approach of a top carnivorous big cat" had a greater competitive advantage under the natural selection of evolution.

People in this small town feel that since the stick was inserted at the gate of the town, there will be less green forests.

They don't know the general trend of the world that has been turbulent in the past three years, they don't know about the affairs of Lord Xinglin, and they don't know that King Agni once damaged the rangers.

In their view, "the sticks have been inserted" and "the number of green forests has decreased" are two related things.

So they honored that stick.

As for "the former owner of that stick was beaten to death", it seems that it is not a big deal.

It is not that difficult to hold two contradictory beliefs in one's head at the same time, and to accept both.

Just don't overthink it.

But Yuki is a man who loves to think too much.He couldn't accept it at all.

"Why?" He said, "It's obviously Master...he...he..."

"'Master'?" Han Zhun heard an unusual word again.

Yuki's mouth twisted.This is the only part where he can make an expression.

He didn't want to talk about the subject anymore.The boy no longer pointed at the stick, but stomped heavily: "Damn, what's the point of coming here? Are you embarrassing yourself?"

With that said, he walked directly into the town.

Six shrugged.The Drakes build their community on a family basis, so he has a full teenage education.His great-grandfather attached great importance to the saying of "overcoming superstition" in Wu Zu's philosophy.When he was a child, he often lay down with his brothers and sisters, listening to his grandparents talk about the past and the root causes of these "superstitions".

Learn from history.

In fact, Yuki came back early.If you come back in more than ten years, then the people here will choose to forget about the silver drive shaft.Then, in their eyes, this stick will become a magic prop that "plug it in to ensure that the green forest will never come again".

In the era when the logic of "witchcraft" still existed in human minds, many magical rituals were formed by human beings in this way-even though these things were useless in the material world.

Then, all kinds of stories will be attached to this stick.These things are like dust in the collective consciousness of human beings, gradually forming sedimentary rocks in the ocean of the mind—if this process is not forcibly terminated by the government.

Of course, it is also possible that a group of green forests forcibly interrupted this process.Of course, when the "magic" bubble is burst, people will find that there is nothing in the bubble.The stick is quickly forgotten.

By that time, Yuki might be even more unacceptable.

Yuki didn't say a word, Han Zhizhi kept following, asking about various things.Soon, they were at the fringes of the area where copper sugar crops were grown.

But at this moment, gunshots rang out.

Han Zhun jumped and lay down skillfully on the ground.His prosthesis rate is relatively low, but he can't stand this kind of toss.

Yuki looked suspiciously at the place where the gun was fired.

Those are some young people.The leader held a semi-automatic rifle, pointed the gun at the sky, and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
