C2379 Women's Curiosity

For some reason, when Xiao Letian faced the Princess Cissie, he always had the feeling that his soul was being spied on. This woman was very powerful, and completely wasn't as innocent and naive as the records of history made her out to be.

Princess Cissie could guess what Xiao Letian was thinking, and every word she said could cut straight to Xiao Letian's weak spot.

Is the dodo nature reserve really a game for the rich? Princess Cissie did not think so. She admitted that Xiao Letian was very rich, rich enough to buy the whole of Siberia and Australia.

However, even if politicians had more money, it wouldn't all be their own. The funds they could use would belong to the entire organization, the entire Chinese group.

No matter how much money the Chinese had right now, they could not afford to waste. Therefore, Princess Cissie was sure that Xiao Letian wanted to buy the Mauritius, and just as Benjamin had guessed, it was to find a foothold in the Indian Ocean.

However, why did Xiao Letian want to build such a base in the distant Indian Ocean? If he was trapped and unable to replenish his resources, it would become an enclave.

The Princess Cissie could only guess half of Xiao Letian's plan, but the more she guessed, the more she couldn't figure out the other half.

If a woman was curious about a man, then this matter wouldn't be easy to deal with. Curiosity killed a cat, so many ambiguous stories started with curiosity.

Ever since the first national banquet, Princess Cissie had increased her intelligence gathering on the Chinese people. Although Austro-Hungarian Empire's strategic focus was not on China, but she was still one of the top countries in Europe. As long as she put in effort, he could still find a lot of useful information.

However, the more he understood Xiao Letian's past, the more curious the Princess Cissie became. Her heart of investigation was like a wildfire in the Wasteland, unable to be extinguished.

Originally, Princess Cissie did not plan to stay in Britain for such a long time, but because of the existence of the Eastern Ambassador Group, she stopped in her tracks.

The more he knew about Xiao Letian, the more he felt that his steps in Britain were extremely brilliant, and his cooperation with Gladstone was flawless. In the end, even Benjamin who had a deep roots was forced to step down.

The rioting Princess Cissie of the Dublin could roughly guess it with a woman's intuition, there must be Xiao Letian's dirty hands inside.

As her admiration for Xiao Letian increased day by day, her curiosity also surged like wild grass. Until finally, when she could no longer suppress her emotions and took the initiative to investigate him, this was the chance encounter in front of the Giant Stone Formation.

Although Xiao Letian was not afraid of Benjamin's framing in the newspaper, he knew that it was all just Benjamin's desperate struggle.

However, it did not feel good to be scolded by others. Moreover, if this kind of scolding was spread out for too long, it would definitely affect the judgement of a portion of the audience.

Xiao Letian walked to the middle of the stone array and looked up at the sky above his head. It was as if his mind had traveled through space and time to fly to a distant ancient era three to four thousand years ago.

"At the beginning of the twelfth century, there was a legend in England that in the fifth century, Merlin, the sorcerer of King Arthur's court, had brought the Stonehenge from Ireland by divine power. The purpose of the Stonehenge was to build a monument of eternity to the memory of the men of King Arthur."

"Of course it's nonsense. I won't believe in magic power, but what I can't deny is that this huge building that has no direct connection with life must be related to some kind of religious belief in the Paleogene …"

Touching the rough boulder, Xiao Letian suddenly turned to look at Princess Cissie and asked: "Do you know how the Paleogene class is separated from humans? Of course, I would like to ask first, do you believe in Mr. Darwin's theory? "

Princess Cissie frowned: "Oh, god, I'm a pious person, of course I don't believe in the stupid point of view of natural evolution, but I feel that his theory has a little logic, the environment should be able to affect the changes of species …"

"What does this have to do with the Stonehenge?" Princess Cissie asked, puzzled.

After Xiao Letian heard this, he laughed: "Since you don't reject it, then my story can continue … Let's assume that Mr. Darwin's theory of the origin of species is correct. If we say that man evolved from the ape-man little by little, I mean hypothetically. "

"So what is the boundary between the apeman and the human? What kind of apeman is a beast, and what kind of apeman is a primitive human? "

This question was really too novel. Princess Cissie's eyes immediately lit up, "Interesting, I'm willing to listen to the details!"

"Mr. Darwin said that the difference between a wild animal and a human is the ability to use tools. However, we all know that in nature, many wild animals use tools as well. For example, sea otters and marmots eat meat inside shells with stones."

"A gorilla can even use a branch to touch honey in a hive. How can you say that using tools is a watershed between a beast and a human?"

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense anymore. I personally believe that the important boundary between humans and beasts is not a tool, but a religion …"

"Religion?" Princess Cissie asked in confusion.

Xiao Letian nodded, "That's right, a religion … Do you know how religion comes about? I can tell you for sure that religion is the result of a human's understanding of death! "

"Actually, this theory is very simple. Think about it carefully. In the natural world, those kinds of creatures would have some understanding of life and death. Do you have any research on it?"

"Only humans, only humans!"

"The life of a wild beast is all about appetite and the instinct to reproduce. They don't have the concept of time, and they don't know where life comes from or where they're going to go …"

"The wild beasts just muddle through every day until death approaches. Only humans will ponder about the end of life, which is death …"

"Humanity's consideration and research on life and death, which is also the source of power for religions, in simpler words, the burial ceremony was the earliest sprout of human primitive religions!"

Princess Cissie's eyes suddenly lit up. She never would have thought that this mysterious man from the East would have such strong feelings for her.

"You … Where did your strange theory come from? "
