Chapter Twenty-Three: The Red Feather Tribe

Once on the beautiful Colorado Plateau, an Indian tribe lived by herding, and herds of bison could give them food, clothing, tents and other necessities.

The women of the tribe would collect berries from the bushes and herbs that they would use on a daily basis, and they would give the herbs to the priests of the tribe to make them. They would also refine the red color from the soil and apply it to the eagle feathers on the headdresses of the tribal warriors, believing that the red feathers would make the warriors more brave and warlike, which became the origin of their tribe's name.

This tribe lives freely in this land, occasionally clashing with other tribes, and they can also win a battle with the help of the tribal gods, and their great strength makes them the most powerful tribe on the plateau.

One day, two strangely dressed passers-by came to their tribe, and they were entertained by the hospitable Red Feather tribe, who also taught the tribe some herbs to use and some ways to cure diseases.

Among them, the middle-aged man who looked like the master also had a spell exchange with the priest of the tribe, and after the discussion, the entire tribe expressed respect for his strong ** technique.

After some time, the two passers-by still left, and before leaving, the master left them a warning: when the white devil comes, do not fight them, and properly surrender to them, so that the tribe can continue.

But the warriors of the Horde did not take this to heart, and the constant victories gave them a strong fighting spirit, and also made them unable to see the real danger.

It wasn't long before the white-skinned devils came, armed with muskets and cannons, and they attacked the Indians without warning. The Redfeather Tribe, the most powerful tribe in the Colorado Plateau, led the Indians to fight these White Devils, but the backwardness of weapons and tactics caused them to sacrifice far more than the damage they inflicted on the Devils.

Eventually, the rest of the tribe hid in the Grand Canyon not far from their gathering place under the leadership of the priest, hoping that they would come out again to rebuild the tribe after they were gone, but when they sent people out to investigate, they found that the white devils had killed all the bison they relied on for their livelihood, and the white devils left scattered squads to kill the Indians when they saw them, and also peeled off their scalps to receive the bounty.

So they returned to the sanctuary of the Grand Canyon, and finally the Red Feather Tribe became history under the ravages of hunger and disease, and the White Devils established a nation in the land of the original Indians.

After listening to the story told by the old man, Lee understood that this was the famous genocide in human history in the early days of the founding of the United States. However, he asked the old man curiously, "Old man, how do you want me to help you?" I'm afraid I won't be able to resurrect your tribe. ”

The old man hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, I have also understood over the years, we were indeed incompetent back then, the wise man's construction was right, and the destruction of the tribe was the result of our failure." What I hope you have helped us with is one more thing. The wise man helped us build a shelter in the Grand Canyon before leaving, and he told us that no one would be able to find us as long as we entered the vault, but reminded us that we must get out of that shelter before we die, otherwise our souls will not be able to rest in peace. But then, due to fear and various reasons, we did not listen to the wise man, and as a result, when we died in the refuge, our souls remained there forever, and our souls could not rest in peace, wandering there forever, and the refuge had become a hell for our people. ”

"How are you sure I can help your people get out of that shelter?" Lee was even more weird.

The old man pointed to the Tai Chi pattern on Li Dao's robe and said excitedly: "That wise man also had this pattern on his body back then, I remember it very clearly, and you can enter the soul of people, and the spell you cast is also very similar to the spell of that wise man back then, so you are our only hope, I ask you to help us." After speaking, the old man lay down and saluted Li again.

"Don't do that, old man." Li picked up the old man and said to him with a smile: "Since your tribe had an intersection with my division back then, and I happened to meet you again, it means that I have a relationship with your tribe, and since this is the case, I will help you with this favor."

Hearing this, the old man almost fell to his knees again, he raised his hands high, and wept and said, "The ancestors are above, and the curse of the tribe for a hundred years can finally be lifted." ”

"By the way, old man, I'm curious as to why you got into Odom's soul?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "This is actually a misunderstanding, this black boy is also looking for his own death." He took some medicine and entered the psychic state of our priest, but because no one could psychic for a long time, none of the guardian spirits in this magic weapon could not hold back, and they all came in, and I was also locked in the magic weapon for too long, thinking that it was a powerful priest who was summoning, so I also came in and wanted to ask for help, but this cowardly boy was afraid that his mind would be closed, and we couldn't get out, if you didn't come in, probably only until this kid died we could leave this body and return to the magic weapon. ”

Li couldn't laugh or cry about this, what is this? Nozuonodie? The old Indian was also slightly embarrassed, and explained, "There is no spell in our spells to forcibly leave the soul, because it will cause damage to the souls of our spirit-summoning warriors, so."

Li waved his hand and comforted the old man: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, what I'm better at is the soul Dao, I'll come, if you delay it for a long time, you won't have to save it." ”

Lee entered the house and was led by the old man to the attic on the top floor, where a thin wooden door was closed. However, this is Odom's mental world, and this door that he has closed himself is not so easy to open.

Standing still in front of the door, Li pinched the mantra and began to chant it, and the low and magnetic voice gave people a warm feeling. Not long after, a crack opened in the wooden door, and a teenage black boy showed one eye to look at Lee.

Li gently smiled at him, one hand slowly went deep into the crack in the door and touched the little boy's head, and said to him: "Lamar, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you, there are no terrible animals out there, don't you want to go out and play basketball for a while?" ”

The wooden door was finally completely opened, and the little boy Odom walked out tremblingly, and Lee still encouraged the little boy with his warm smile, and the warmth coming from the big hand above his head reminded the little boy of his mother and grandmother, who had long since died.

Tears flowed out of the little boy's eyes, very strange, the little boy obviously felt that he was very happy and enjoyed, but why did his heart hurt so much and wanted to cry so much.

"Wow!" All the feelings were finally vented at this moment, the little boy hugged Li tightly, and cried loudly in his arms, Li still did not leave the boy's head with one hand, and the other hand opened his five fingers outward, and shook it weakly, and three balls of light representing Odom's past in the small universe outside flew towards the white planet.

Then he led the little boy to the window and motioned for him to look out. Outside the house, on the lawn stood three people, two older women and a 6-year-old boy, who saw Odom at the window, smiled at him, and waved to him.

"Look, Lamar, your grandmother, your mother, your son have not left you, they will live in your heart forever, they do not want to be with you again in heaven, but they want you to live healthy and happy, and to be with you in your memories. Go, Lamar, whatever you do in the future, think about them, and you will know what is right and what is wrong. Lee let go of the hand that was holding Odom and slowly disappeared behind him.

The old Indian man also slowly disappeared with Li in the back, but when he saw this scene before, he also showed a kind smile, the soul will not deceive people, such a warm and powerful soul made him secretly make a decision.
