Chapter 120: The Pearl of the Night
The cornfields made by the Mayans were too rough to retain nutrients in the soil, but these plants survived the grass after a hundred years.
Several white and tender grains of corn were pecked by birds, and they were scattered and inedible.
After searching for a long time, I found 4 fairly intact corns, which were not large, looked a little malnourished, and the grains were also white.
"Chop, what kind of fruit is this, is it delicious?" Lingling held a corn and sniffed it lightly, feeling that it didn't taste good.
"This is grain, and when Dad makes you roasted corn, it's a very common delicacy in the countryside." "Xiao Lingfeng, as an authentic rural baby, has eaten all kinds of food.
When I was a child, basically everything in the countryside was harmed, the peanuts planted by others, pulled out and eaten raw, those tender peanuts even ate the peel, sweet and crisp are very delicious, sweet potatoes are also dug out and roasted to eat, the fire is too strong, the skin of the sweet potatoes is roasted, and the inside is not yet ripe, but the food is also delicious.
Roasted corn is roasted directly with the skin, and finally the skin is peeled off, the feeling is indescribable, and of course, there are baked potatoes and the like, all of which are delicious.
"Roasted corn! Lingling will eat roasted corn again, and now her stomach is swollen!" Little Lori patted her belly, looking embarrassed.
"You two have to envy how many survivors have died, others are starving to death in the wilderness, but you are holding on to death. ”
"It's not because there's a lot of delicious food in the wilderness, you can eat whatever you want here. ”
"Eat your sister, don't you see that Brother Feng relies on wisdom to get food? Traps to catch prey depend on luck, and the armadillo meat was snatched from the jaguar's mouth. ”
"The part of grabbing jaguar food is too awesome, so I'll kneel for Brother Feng. ”
"Ordinary people can't do it by hugging the forest snake, this big thing looks panicked. ”
Xiao Lingfeng's survival in Venezuela this time is indeed a bit too much, but he has a system in hand, rich knowledge, and a very nourishing life.
The terraces made by the ancient Maya were not large, only a small area had corn, and in other locations, the ground was full of gravel.
The gravel soil is a barren area, with little vegetation growing and only a few weeds and shrubs emerging from the gravel-covered soil.
The ground is extremely flat and is paved with boulders, and there are some dilapidated stone buildings not far ahead.
The building resembles a church, with a triangular roof and intricate carvings, as well as two large walls.
"This is supposed to be a place of religious belief made by the Mayans, belonging to the late Mayan civilization, and the architecture here is more beautiful than the pyramid in front of it. ”
Xiao Lingfeng touched these intricate and exquisite carvings again, because of the passage of time, these white boulders had begun to gradually fall apart due to the impact of the rain.
A large crack is clearly visible, stretching from the wall to the corner, and the carving around the crack is particularly badly damaged.
"Where is this again? Cathedral?"
"It is true that many religions were established in the late Mayan civilization, and this type of architecture has also been discovered, and I really don't know how spectacular it is now, don't ask me why I know so much, because I am a teacher, and I teach nature in elementary school. ”
"I can understand that the history teacher and the geography teacher understand this, you are a primary school student teacher, or you still teach nature, this ......"
"Brother Feng, hurry up and take a look, maybe there are other major discoveries!"
The two wooden doors were badly decayed, and the cathedral was black-hollowed, and the floor was littered with broken rubble.
These are small and bizarre objects that will somehow be destroyed by unity, perhaps because of the strife between religions, because the Maya established many religions and believed in very different gods.
The dimly lit church is spacious, and there are some elaborate carvings on the surrounding walls, mostly in praise of the moon.
"It seems that the belief here is the moon, the ancient Maya people have more beliefs, the sun, moon and stars, are the gods they believe in, and corn is also a thing of faith, and the church here is where the moon god is worshipped. ”
There are also many pillars on the surrounding walls, above which are braziers, in which the ashes of the firewood are still faintly visible, and the pillars below are also beautifully carved.
The cathedral looks very spacious, basically a square and 50 meters long.
In the center of the cathedral there is a raised platform with a luminous object on it, and a beam of light from the roof shines just above it.
That thing is an absolute treasure!
Xiao Lingfeng strode forward, climbed up the stairs of the high platform, and came to the front of the object.
"Brother Feng, don't mess with that ball, this is where the trap is located, if you touch it, this place will collapse. ”
"Usually the thing in the center is a treasure, probably a big mallet made of gold. ”
"Pull it down, the ancient Mayans are in the Stone Age, and they don't even have iron tools, so how can it be gold, I think it's a dinosaur egg!"
"The more you talk, the more you don't understand, this is a phone booth that links to aliens, Brother Feng hurry up and call the aliens, and ask how much the housing price is over there?
Xiao Lingfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "The more you say, the more outrageous it becomes, the Mayans must be worshipping their own gods, this may be a carved object made of stone, it should be the moon, because the murals in this church are painted with the moon." ”
Coming to the high platform, the object in the beam was clearly visible, it was a round sphere, polished extremely smooth, it seemed to glow with a white-green halo.
"Is this one?"
Xiao Lingfeng took the ball down, the ball weighed about 10 catties, and the size was similar to that of a volleyball.
This round stone ball is white in color, more light blue, and the surface of the body is extremely smooth, and it looks pure inside, and there are not many impurities, including a few dark green spots.
Xiao Lingfeng held this bead and was very excited! "Friends, this is a piece of fluorite, also known as the pearl of the night! I can't see its light during the day, but at night, it naturally emits fluorescence from green to white in the dark, as bright and beautiful as the moon, and it is an extremely rare collection." ”
Xiao Lingfeng was far away from the high platform, where the light was the most dazzling, and in the dark, the night pearl would really emit a pale white silver light, looking like a bright moon.
"This is so beautiful!" Xiao Nizi scrambled, "Pick up, pick up, hurry up and give it to Lingling, it's so greasy to pick up the moon in the sky." ”
The Night Pearl glows in the dim light, really shining like the bright moon, and those dark green spots are in the center of the Night Pearl, which looks like the moon from any angle.
