Chapter 295

Most of the tribes of the primitive and backward North American Indians are in the social situation that a tribe is composed of several clans, and then a tribe is composed of several tribes. Most of the clans and tribes are managed by parents in a one word way. Therefore, most of the tribes of the North American Indians are also managed in a way similar to the patriarchal system, That is, the chief can decide everything.

Just like the Cherokee people, chief junaruska has just handed down his judgment, so this kind of judgment must be implemented.

The authority of tribal leaders should not be questioned. Similarly, the authority of tribal chiefs with greater power should not be questioned. Otherwise, a tribe would have been in a mess. This is the experience summed up by Indians living in this land for thousands of years.

In the past, most North American Indians were matriarchal. Even now, many tribes still maintain matriarchal society. But even in matriarchal society, if the leader of a clan gives a verdict, it must be carried out.

This kind of one word parental management will inevitably lead to mistakes in judgment because of the personal likes and dislikes of the chief or tribal leader. Even the later judges will have the wrong cases. It is obviously impossible for you to expect the Indian chief or chief of this era to make 100% accurate judgment.

So if something goes wrong, how can it be changed?

It is obviously impossible to directly veto the orders of the leader or chief, which will greatly damage their prestige. But the wrong judgment will make the parties aggrieved. If it's just a simple apology, it's OK to admit your mistake. It's a big deal. But if it's about your life, you have to fight anyway.

In this case, there is a way to challenge the judgment of tribal leaders or chiefs, that is to use their own force to move to the wrong judgment.

Because the leader or chief of the Indian tribe claimed to be the closest person to the God, which is also recognized by the tribe people, so their judgments often represent the God.

But they are not real gods after all. If the real gods say that your judgment is wrong, they can correct the unjust punishment without damaging the prestige of the tribal leader.

It's a method that many tribes in North America use, but it's too difficult.

Because this method is to challenge the judgment of tribal leaders and to move the real gods in the sky, it is very difficult.

It's just like the method that the Cherokee people use to challenge the judgment. It's called "divine immunity". The meaning is very simple. The gods give orders to exempt you from your sins.

But if you want the gods to give orders, you have to show enough to move the gods.

For example, if stone bear wants to challenge "divine immunity", it needs to break six levels in a row.

The first level is to fight with the most powerful warrior in the tribe. If the stone bear wins, it will usher in the second level. One person will choose three; If you still win, the third level is to choose seven by one person; The fourth level is to choose 13 by one, and the fifth level is to choose 21 by one.

And the last hurdle, is a single pick 32 people!

As long as you can get through the final pass, that is, you can beat the last 32 people down by yourself, then you will get the immunity of the gods. No matter what your crime is, no matter whether you are really guilty or wronged, you can get immunity. At the same time, you can realize any wish you put forward before you break through the pass.

Well, if your wish is to be a chief or a high priest, it's obviously not. But if you want to be a tribal leader, the chief will agree with you.

In a word, if the challenge of "divine immunity" is successful, the parties will get great benefits.

However, just looking at the process of the challenge, we can see that the process of the challenge is almost impossible.

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, which is not a joke.

In the process of challenging the "divine immunity", from the first level to the sixth level, you need to defeat a total of seventy-seven people, and they are all elite soldiers specially selected from the tribe.

How can one challenge 77 soldiers? You think you're the Terminator?

Therefore, this kind of "divine immunity" is almost impossible to challenge success.

Unless you have a high prestige in the whole tribe, all the soldiers regard you as an idol, so those soldiers may give up because of your prestige.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers who are selected to participate in the guard will become "servants of the gods" at the moment they go to the battlefield. They will not be threatened after the event. Any action they make is "the will of the gods".

Therefore, even if they voluntarily admit defeat, no one can trouble these soldiers afterwards. This is also a loophole in the process of challenging "divine immunity".

But it's not so easy to catch this loophole. A strong warrior may make the people of the tribe regard him as the God of war, but it's hard for him to make the soldiers of the whole tribe regard him as an idol.

In fact, in the whole history of the Cherokee people, there are many people who try to challenge the "divine immunity", but only a few people succeed in challenging the "divine immunity". These people are almost the most prestigious figures in the whole Cherokee people. The reason why they are able to challenge success is that the soldiers who guard the pass voluntarily admit defeat.

Therefore, in the whole history of the Cherokee people, there is no one who can really rely on their own efforts to challenge success!

Now this big man is trying to challenge the "divine immunity". What is this?

But even if all the people know that he is looking for death, they must attach great importance to this kind of challenge.

Because this kind of challenge itself is a very sacred heritage, and it is one of the unshakable foundations of the Cherokee people. Because this challenge represents the prestige and integrity of the entire Cherokee people.

It is for this reason that even the tribal high priest, who has always been indifferent to foreign affairs, can't help changing his face when he hears that the stone bear is going to challenge the "divine immunity".

Chief junaluska and other tribal leaders in the king's tent all stood up when they heard that the big man was going to challenge the "divine immunity".

Chieftain junaluska's face changed, but he still asked the stone bear very seriously: "big bear, do you really decide to challenge the divine immunity? Have you thought about it? "

The stone bear nodded slightly. "Dear chief junaruska, if I don't challenge the divine immunity, is there any other way to exempt you from this kind of judgment? So, don't say any more. Let's get ready. I'm going to challenge the divine immunity! "
