Chapter 1729 The Goddess’s Secret Word (Seventy Four)

Okay, maybe dying under the stars is a beautiful way, but it's too surreal. Only city people would think that. Why can't the wife find a way to kill her tall husband, inherit his inheritance, and live alone?

What about the quieter days?

Although I don't know how Bishop did it, people in the 17th century didn't know about the poisonous plant white snakeroot. It is very common in the grasslands of North America. After eating it, herbivores will get a disease called "

If humans drink the milk produced by cows that eat this plant, they can get "milk disease", which can be fatal. Abraham Lincoln's mother died after drinking poisoned milk.

This is a feasible method. Feed him this kind of poisonous milk, and ask him to drink more. The poison must leave no trace. Otherwise, if the police come to ask questions, they will wipe their tears with their aprons and cry, "

I didn’t know this thing was poisonous.” Anyway, you are a weak-willed and uneducated woman, so maybe the police will treat it as an accident or witchcraft.

Generally, male police officers are not so attentive and pay attention to the micro-expressions of prisoners, but when interrogating Martha, the court clerk noticed it. When Martha clasped her hands, the girls could not help but tremble. When she

Girls would stamp their feet when she shifted their weight, and teeth marks would appear on their arms and wrists when she bit her lip.

People will swallow when they are nervous, because there is no food in the mouth at that time, so what they swallow is saliva. Some people will bite their nails, pencil ends, etc. to relieve stress when facing pressure. These actions can tell their own emotions through the mouth.

Nervous System "Don't be afraid, I'm eating."

Chewing and swallowing actions directly transmit the message of "eating" to the central nervous system. In the eyes of the brain, eating is good, because eating represents survival. After long-term evolution, this has evolved into what someone will do when they are nervous.

Grinding your teeth, or biting your lips, like Martha did in court.

No matter how calm and composed she looks on the surface, and even a little rash, her micro-expressions don't lie. She is very nervous. She may be facing pressure, or she may be lying. She subconsciously clenches her hands to express her feelings.

Perform the comfort yourself. Actors with professional training and performance experience will subtract those unnecessary movements during the performance and perform some small movements according to the emotions of the characters.

Even if a woman is born an actor, there is still a certain gap between a woman and an actor who has been specially trained in this aspect. This requires careful observation to discover.

The girls obviously confessed. At first they said they had to sign the book, but later they changed it to just put their hands on the book. Before 1692, New England was the most educated place in the world, and books were extremely scarce.

It is the easiest to obtain, and those who can own as many books as Elizabeth are even richer. At least she has a rich father, so she does not need to fear her husband at all.

Most of the girls in Salem can read, but only a few can sign. Little Ann Putnam is one of them, and the other is the maid Mary Warren. She can even write a complete sentence to write a thank you signature.

Posted on the chapel pillar to inform everyone that she was back to normal.

In a sense, this maid's education level is higher than that of the eldest daughter of the prominent Putnam family in Salem. However, their identities and backgrounds are different. They are also suffering from spasticity. Little Ann Putnam became the plaintiff, and Mary Waugh

Lun became the defendant, but her beautiful appearance saved her life from being imprisoned like Bishop.

Bishop also has a stepson, and half of her ex-husband's property will be divided to him after his death. The reason why people suspect that she is a witch is also related to the mysterious death of her ex-husband. Many people think that he was cursed to death by her.

Just as Martha couldn't control others talking about her behind her back, Bishop couldn't control others. Salem Village and Salem Town were not the same place. The village was near the creek in the woods, and the town was to the north. It was only later that

Bishop had never lived in the village, and she didn't know anyone at the court, but Mary Walcott, a cousin of the Putnam family, accused Bishop's ghost of attacking her.

But that trial took place on April 19, and many things happened before that. For example, Inglis Mather brought a charter issued by the king, allowing New England to no longer have a governor and lieutenant governor.

This does not mean that the United States is independent. Other North American colonies still have governors and lieutenant governors from the British aristocracy. Moreover, this is only a slight political concession. New Englanders still have to continue to pay taxes to England.

To make people actively participate in the war, instead of hatred, there are interests. Pastors will intentionally quote some stories when preaching, such as how a group of immigrants escaped from the hands of savage and cruel Indians and were then saved by their compatriots.

This is the traditional routine of the United States of America. During World War II, the Indians were simply replaced by Japanese, and the fleeing people were replaced by persecuted Americans and advanced elements who longed for democracy and freedom.

Paris would not tell these stories, but pastors like Burroughs, Mather, and Rosen would, especially Burroughs. He was not only a personal experiencer of one of the legendary stories, but also witnessed scenes of tragic scenes on the front line.

He even put down the book in his hand, picked up the gun, and became a combat priest.

His name for the Indians also became pagan, and there was an Indian slave Tituba in the Parris family. Although he was strict with the servants, he never had the idea of ​​bullying her. She also had an Indian husband named John.

·Indian, the two of them who baked that troublesome witch cake.

In such an era, not saying these things during sermons would make people feel weak, but after saying these things and arousing fanaticism, can people still calm down and think?

It is said in the third chapter of Revelation: In order to "live", some churches use "artificial" spiritual grace, some use "lively" music, some use "inspiring" activities, and even more

Some organize special spiritual revivals, or use "shout, pray-read" methods in gatherings to create a phenomenon where everyone can function. In fact, in the eyes of the Lord, these methods are alive on the outside, but dead on the inside.

While the secular people were busy dealing with the French and Indians, and focusing on the charter to restore their power, pastors like Cotton Mather were paying close attention to the "Second Coming". To be precise, they were counting on the end of the world.

How long it will take for it to come, of course, is not announced to the public. It is already chaotic enough as it is. If we knew that Doom was coming, we still don’t know what the chaos would be like.

Many priests are actually involved in alchemy, magic and astrology, but they criticize magic so fiercely that they give the world the illusion that these priests are pedantic in mind, greedy for money and corrupt, and spread superstition with a book in hand.

Witchcraft and theology are two sides of the same coin, just like two sides of a coin. Without either, the coin is useless, or they will exist together and perish together.

Even if there is a temporary reconciliation for the greater good, the wizards and priests will one day turn from allies to mortal enemies like the Indians who allied themselves with the settlers.

This rule has existed since the day the Druids were destroyed by the Romans. They understood nature in order to conquer it, rather than conform to it.

Even spiritual grace can be created “artificially”, but what else can’t be created by humans?

If man is really created by God in his own image, then man should also understand that when something becomes a threat to his own survival, he must destroy it.

So when humans become stronger and stronger, almost becoming gods, gods will destroy humans for their own safety.

Or maybe Cronus ate all his children.

I hope humans have a mother like Rhea and a grandmother like Gaia.

Maybe one day, a fat little boy accidentally pushed a female goat while playing with her and broke one of her goat horns. The fairy came immediately to heal her injury, and the little boy picked up the goat.

He gave it to the fairy and gave it to the fairy. As long as it was blown, it would bring abundant food, so this horn was also called the "Horn of Plenty."

Perhaps the simple sound of the horn is the most beautiful music.
