The number of 100 million appeared, and the faces of several bodyguards standing behind Li Huan with serious faces suddenly turned red.

If the transaction price is 100 million, then excluding Li Huan's purchase of this land, everyone can get a cash bonus of 20 million US dollars. With 20 million cash, their lives can be turned upside down, so when the Indians said this number, everyone looked at Li Huan with a look of anticipation.

Li Huan smiled and didn't speak.

"What, do you think the price is too low?" said the old Indian, a little displeased.

"No, it's not the price, it's me who has some problems. Li Huan said, in fact, he doesn't pay so much attention to money now, after all, there is still a large amount of money waiting to be realized at the crusher: "If you can answer me these questions, how about giving you a discount?"

"Young man, what's wrong with you?" the old Indian was stunned.

As soon as Li Huan said this, the faces of several bodyguards changed, Li Huan said that he wanted to discount, wouldn't that mean he wanted to discount their money? One of them was just about to speak, but was stopped by Li Ang with his eyes, and he whispered: "We can get this money also thanks to Mr. Li, you still think that it is a problem for him to buy this land at twice the price...... In fact, people like them think things that we can never reach. We listened quietly to him, and I believe that Mr. Li will not lose our dividends. ”

Several bodyguards were stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking, what Li Ang said was very reasonable.

The bodyguards didn't speak, and Mrs. Maria and Song Ting had nothing to say. Lady Mary was an Indian expert who was invited, and Song Ting was on Li Huan's side at all. Although he has known Li Huan for a short time, Song Ting is sure that Li Huan will definitely not suffer a loss - sure enough, I saw Li Huan take out an arm-length wood carving from behind the sofa and put it on the table.

This wood carving is red all over, and it is a combination of two sections, hollow in the middle. In addition to the wood carving, which had been opened in two, there was also a very strange piece of paper on the table.

"This is something I found inside the altar, first of all, I want to make it clear that this thing is not included in the altar handover, if you don't have an opinion, we will continue to talk about it. Li Huan said.

Several Indians looked at each other, and finally the old Indian said, "What we want is an altar and a burial place for the souls of our ancestors, look at the pattern, this is not a totem of our people, so there is no problem." Young man, is the question you are asking about this thing?"

"yes, I want to know what it is, and besides, what is drawn on that piece of paper. Li Huan said.

After stumbling upon a centuries-old Indian altar, when he was sure that these things could not be moved back to China, and he had to deal with them on the spot, what was the first thing Li Huan did? That is, he used his spiritual power to explore the underground altar completely, exploring every inch and every stone, although it took a lot of time, but he really found something.

There is no way, according to the laws of Citigroup, the historical monuments found by Li Huan under his house can only belong to Li Huan himself, but federal law also stipulates that it is impossible for all historical relics to go abroad, unless they are specially approved by the customs and the local cultural relics administration. Li Huan's behavior of buying land today and discovering historic sites tomorrow, everyone knows what is going on, and this goods are Chinese, how can the Cultural Relics Administration and Customs let him take things away...... It's not that Li Huan can't take it away, he has a virtual space, and he can take it away a few more times, but the problem is that even if he returns to China, these things are typical illegal smuggled cultural relics.

So it has to be dealt with on the spot - Citigroup's laws seem quite fair, but for the country, anyway, the cultural relics are all in the country, as long as they are in the country, whatever you want.

So Li Huan had no choice but to sell this place.

But before selling, he must carefully explore every place, every suspicious stone brick, every suspicious carving, he does not believe that this holy place of the Indians will not be strange at all...... As a result, under Li Huan's nearly five hours of spiritual exploration, he really found an inconspicuous totem near the pyramid that had a problem.

Other carvings, totem poles, are all carved in stone, but this one, which is wooden or hollow. And this wood is still very strange, I don't know how many years it has been stored in a damp space, and only the surface is a little rotten. When Li Huan peeled off the barnacle on the surface of this totem pole and opened the hollow inside, one actually fell out of it

A sheet of paper that folded well, with no signs of decay at all.

This is even rarer.

You must know that wood is breathable, what paper can pass through the moisture of the sea water for hundreds of years without rotting?

So Li Huan concluded that this thing was weird.

After finding this totem pole, Li Huan also showed it to Lady Mary for identification, but as the most senior Indian researcher, Lady Mary was at a loss and couldn't identify the origin of this thing. She could only confirm from the patterns and carvings that it was the work of the Indians, but whether it belonged to the Indian population of North America or the Indians of the ancient Aztec Empire...... She couldn't make out it.

If there is anyone in this world who can recognize this thing, it must be the wise man of the Indians.

For Li Huan, who already had enough money, it was good that this altar ruin could be sold for money, but what he liked more now was these strange and obviously mysterious things. Since Madame Maria couldn't solve this riddle, Li Huan had no choice but to show this thing to the real Indians for identification.

Because Li Huan subconsciously thought that this wood carving totem was the most brilliant thing in the altar.

"You found this at the altar, it seems that it is indeed a work of the Indian style......" The old Indian first picked up two wooden carvings and put them together, looked at them carefully, and after looking at them for a long time, he confirmed: "But ...... This is not our work. Young man, although I don't know which tribe this is the work of, I can be sure that it is very important. ”

"Oh, why are you so sure?" Li Huan became interested.

"I'll tell you about the origin of the totem, and you'll know. The old Indian said.

The word "totem" is derived from the transliteration of the word "totem" in the dialect of the North American Indian Ojibwa, which means "his kin". For the Indians, totem worship was the first form of primitive religion, which appeared around the Upper Paleolithic. At the heart of totem worship is the belief that an animal, plant or inanimate animal is related to one's own clan and is the ancestor and relative of one's own clan, so that it is revered as the symbol, symbol and protector of one's clan. Indians are a general term for all Native Americans except the Eskimos, and their ethnic composition is quite complex and their totems are diverse.

The first origin of the Indians, the totem image is the main thing is the celestial thunderbird, the celestial thunderbird in the legend of the Indians, the thunderbird is the master of the "heavenly realm", it can make itself invisible, in the form of a strong wind, appearing on the winter festival of the Indians. Usually on the totem pole, the ptarmigan will be carved on a thick tree trunk, carved into two parts, the upper half is a bird with huge wings open, the beak is hooked, looking like an eagle;

Of course, later the Indian branch, there were other totems.

The totems of the North American Indians were mostly animals, followed by plants. A tribe is divided into several different totem clans, clans with the same totem are regarded as relatives with each other, and clans with the same totem cannot intermarry with each other.

Many clans carved the image of the totem on the wooden pillar to make "totem poles", the general totem poles are about 30 meters high, but some can reach 60 meters in height. These totem poles are usually erected in the most prominent places in the village as a symbol of the clan, and some clans paint totem marks on their utensils and houses.

Therefore, totems are generally large, or super-large, and small totems are not absent, but they are extremely rare. A tribe can make many tribal totems, but the small totem has only one, and it is in the hands of the chief. When there are major events such as merging clans and wars of the relics of the Great Sacrifice, the chief will invite them out, and the role is like the current "official seal".

"Then where did it come from?" Li Huan asked again.

Since the totem represents the clan, it can only be distinguished by these pure Indians.

"It's from Mexico. The old Indian stared at the carved lines for a long time, and then said, "The Aztecs, the Mayans, I don't know, but they are certainly not our totems." This kind of wood I know, is the rainforest of Mexican in Central America, a kind of trunk carved by a tree called 'dragon's blood tree', the dragon's blood tree is now endangered, it is strictly forbidden to cut down, the Aztecs like to use this wood to carve totems, they have a very distinct human blood worship, and the dragon's blood tree because of its unique color and corrosion resistance so they get their love...... Judging by its carving techniques and lines

, which is supposed to be the work of the Aztecs. ”

"Dragon's Blood Tree?" Li Huan gained insight again.

"That's right, this tree has the smoothest bark, which ranges in color from orange to red. And as the tree grows, its branches grow in all directions, so it looks very distinctively twisted, like the flesh and meridians in the human body, so it was loved by the Aztecs. In addition, the dragon's blood tree is one of the hardest and most corrosion-resistant woods known in the world. The Indian chief said.

"I've also heard that the Aztecs made the dragon's blood tree their natural flesh, and after the death of their high-ranking or important people, the entrails were hollowed out, and then the entrails carved out of this wood were installed, and then covered with human skin...... If a shaman or something dies, he will hollow out his whole body, leaving only the human skin, and then cover the human skin over a human figure carved from dragon's blood wood......" Lady Maria nodded in agreement.

Everyone shuddered when they heard this.

"This method of dealing with it is terrible......" one of the bodyguards shuddered when he heard it: "Crazy ......"

On the contrary, this approach is the highest courtesy. Lady Maria immediately corrected: "You know, it is the Aztec civilization, the most unique civilization in history. ”

When Mrs. Mary said "unique", she actually gave face to the Indians present, and in fact, the Azcot civilization can be regarded as one of the bloodiest civilizations in the history of human civilization. They use thousands of people to sacrifice to the gods every year, and there are various sacrifice ceremonies. One of them was for the priest to plunge a knife into the captive's body while he was still alive and take out his still beating heart to sacrifice. This ritual was one of thousands of rituals in which the Aztecs believed that offering to the gods would protect their people.

As for their origins, it can be traced back to the 13th century, when the Aztec people came to the valley of Mexico and settled in the early 14th century, on the shores of Lake Texcoco, and since then they have risen rapidly. In 1325, the Aztecs chose two small islands near the lake and established the Aztec Empire, with the capital named Tenochtitlan. By 1431, the famous Aztec ruler Montezuma I led the people of the country to establish a powerful tribal confederation that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, with a population of more than 6 million.

The greatest characteristic of the Aztec civilization is its mystery, blood, and horror.

In the Aztec spiritual world, God ruled everything. The most revered god of the Aztecs was Velopochetli, who symbolized the sun and the young god of war, who is said to have lived by sucking human blood. As a result, the Aztecs took it for granted that most of their rituals were bloody, with the sacrifice of living people, and the number of sacrifices was staggering, sometimes thousands of people a day.

In a general sacrifice, the priest places the body face up in the room, makes a cut between the two vertebrae in the neck, and then skillfully cuts off the head of the sacrifice. Years of experience have enabled the priests to deftly slice through the skin and muscles of their faces until only the skull remains. They then carved large holes in the sides of the skull, strung the skull on a thick stake, and prepared the other skulls in the same way. These strung heads were used to build human bone buildings and to worship the gods of war and rain.

In 1519, the Spaniards first entered the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, and they were appalled by the sacrificial acts, believing that the skull and human sacrifice were barbaric acts of the Mexicans. As a result, the Spaniards destroyed the temple and the ossuary building in front of it, and built the present-day city of Mexico on the ruins. Since then, the skeleton and the skull tower have been submerged in the dark river of history.

Some of the conquerors of the time wrote about the construction of human bones, with 130,000 skeletons on a single skull. And there are more than a dozen of these skeletons.

Of course, the Aztecs were not Indians, all of which came from a beautiful misunderstanding - mainly because Columbus and other explorers thought that the "new land" they arrived at was India, and called the local inhabitants Indians, which is also the English pronunciation of "India". According to the name of this discoverer, the natives of the American continent were all called "Indians", and later this name was used, and everyone called it that.

"Alright, the history of the Indians is over, old man, look at this thing. Li Huan pointed to the piece of paper that he took out of the wood carving.
