Rebirth of India: Superior

After all, there are only a few people in this world who are willing to die for love, and being forced to die is an even greater tragedy. As mentioned in the previous article, many Hindu women were forced to die for love, so in order to resist this tragic fate, they invented a way to survive outside the world. A custom that seems extremely absurd to humans. f apex novel, x.

On the morning after visiting Pasupati, when Shakru was having breakfast, Alok suddenly walked in and said to Shakru: "Elder Pandit, Master Platon wants to invite you to attend There is a wedding today, go and bless them, I don’t know if you mean to go or not.”

"It's a happy event to attend a wedding. I can also be a little happy." Shakru said while eating.

"But this wedding is a bit special." Alok said hesitantly.

"Oh, what's so special about it?" Shakru asked curiously.

Alok hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Because today's groom is a fruit."

"What fruit does this mean?" Shakru asked in confusion.

"Well, this is a custom and tradition of the Newari people. When the girls here are five to eight years old, they hold a special wedding. It is also the first wedding in their lives, and in this wedding their groom It is a kind of fruit called bel. This kind of fruit is not found in other countries. Even in Nepal, the yield is very low. It has a hard appearance and is produced in midsummer. The locals squeeze the juice of this fruit and drink it. It is said that it is very popular. It has the medicinal effect of producing fluid and relieving cough," Alok explained.

Before Shakru could speak, Kabaeva exclaimed: "Oh my God, what do these parents think? Why would they marry their daughters to a fruit? Are they crazy?"

At this time, Shakru suddenly thought that in his previous life, Aishwarya Rai had married a banana tree just to change Kev's fate. This was true, so he guessed: "Is it true that marrying this bel fruit can change the situation?" What kind of fate?"

"Well. Elder Pandit, your guess is pretty much the same. They married the bel fruit to change their fate, but it was not for the sake of killing their husbands, but to avoid the fate of being buried. Because there has always been an unwritten custom here, That is, if the husband dies, his wife cannot remarry to show her loyalty to her husband, so there will be many tragedies of young widows.

In order to get rid of this tragic fate, some women came up with a solution, that is, to marry bel, and bel will be their husband from then on. In this way, as long as the dried husk of bel is preserved, it is equivalent to having a The husband who will never die. If they marry other men in the future, they will not be the "maternal wives" of these women, and they will no longer have to die for them. Alok sighed and then explained:

After listening to Alok's explanation. Shakru's mood was also a little heavy. Sure enough, there was a last resort behind every seemingly absurd phenomenon. These women had worked hard to get rid of the fate of being buried. So he nodded and said: "In that case, then this I'd better go to the wedding. As long as I can make some efforts for these poor children, it's good. But how should I bless them?"

"Actually, it's quite simple. You use the Tianwu Baoluan to tell them divination. Then tell these girls that they will be happy and happy in the future. I know this is a bit difficult for you, but just like what you just said. These children are actually They are all quite pitiful, so just take pity on them."

Shakru had no intention of refusing this request. First, as he said just now, he wanted to do something for these poor girls. Second, it was the first time that Master Platon asked him for help, and he was too embarrassed to refuse. After all, he would inevitably have to trouble others during his time in Nepal, and he did not value the sacredness of this so-called ritual divination as much as others imagined.

So Shaklu pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will make an exception for the sake of these poor children."

Seeing that Shakru agreed, Alok was relieved. So after eating breakfast. Shakru and his party came to the wedding scene. This kind of special wedding is held in front of the temple of goddess Kumari, because they all worship chastity.

Before the wedding begins, in addition to dressing their daughter in a beautiful wedding dress, parents must also prepare a plate of flowers, a basin, bright red tikka powder, and of course, her other half bel fruit.

At the wedding, the priest will pray with fruit bel for each girl, sprinkle flowers on their heads, and put bright red tikkas on their foreheads. After doing this, it is Shakru's turn. A Hindu elder who came all the way from New Delhi, India, came to bless the girl. The so-called blessing was actually Shakru using the Heavenly Dancer to perform divination, and then said that the girl would be happy in the future.

After that, the mother will put her daughter's feet on the basin and wash her daughter's feet with holy water mixed with cow urine. Then, the mother will drink the water of her daughter's feet because they believe that these are the symbols of chastity. Women's foot washing water can cure diseases When he saw this scene, Shakru almost vomited. Although he knew that cattle are sacred cows in Nepal and are said to be the mounts of Shiva, and knew that Nepalese people valued chastity, he still couldn't accept this kind of behavior. How to drink foot washing water.

Alok, who was standing by, saw Shakru's expression and whispered, "Pandit elder, hold on. This is the custom in this place. Anyway, we are not asked to drink it."

After the wedding ceremony, the girls will take their respective husbands, Bel, home and keep them. This fruit will slowly turn into a dried fruit and accompany her throughout her life.

Originally, Shakru thought that this fruit wedding was already weird enough, but he didn't expect that the following Darshan Festival would make him truly see what blood, cruelty and massacre were.

PS: Recently, the China Literature Group, where Qidian is located, has taken the lead in suing Baidu and cracking down on piracy. As a writer, we naturally support this. Now that pirated online music and pirated movies have been cracked down, it is finally the turn of online novels. Although there is only no piracy with UC now, it is a good start after all. I believe that if there is really no piracy, with the increase in writers' income, the phenomenon of water writing will become less and less, and there will be more and more good books. To be continued.
