Chapter 355: The Land of the Damned
"You two, please wait here for a while, I'll go and ask the Great Elder to see if his old man agrees to let me tell you about the No Man's Land!" After the three of them walked to a dilapidated thatched hut in the northeast corner of the village, the thirteen elders saluted Lin Bai and said softly. Fastest updates
Lin Bai returned the salute and said softly: "Then we are waiting for you here, Thirteen Elders, I hope there will be good news waiting for us!" ”
"Please rest assured, you have great kindness to my Mayan relics, and I want to come to the Great Elders Council to promise me to tell the secret!" The Thirteen Elders smiled and nodded, then walked towards the black door of the hut.
"What is that place? How does it look like a chunk of crystal?! After the thirteen elders entered the thatched hut for a long time, there was still no movement, so Lin Bai and the two of them circled around the thatched hut, and before they had gone far, Sima Yilan saw a pit like a puddle of crystal, and couldn't help but point there and praise Lin Bai.
Lin Bai fixed his eyes on that and chuckled, "That should be the legendary Mayan crystal pool!" These pits were of great significance to the Mayans, not only as a source of water, but also as a place to bathe, and as a form of religious belief! ”
Before coming, Lin Bai had already found a lot of Mayan information from Counselor Hu, and knew that this kind of "crystal pool" was actually a lime pit formed by the long-term erosion of limestone by rainwater. Because the rainwater is filtered through sponge-like limestone, the water appears so clear and transparent that it looks like it was made of crystal.
And the crystal pool is the abode of the rain god in Mayan beliefs, just like the Dragon Palace in Chinese legends. In addition to their practical purposes, the Mayans relied on them for sacrificial prayers. The Mayans believed that the rain was the result of the visit of the rain god, and that only by offering a "gift" to the rain god would the rain god come as promised.
According to legend, they would throw gold, silver, and jewelry into the crypt to pray for rain, and even select beautiful virgins to throw into the water to please the rain god. So you'd better be mentally prepared and be careful that the Thirteen Elders will throw you down later! Lin Bai looked at Sima Yilan, who was squatting on the edge of the crystal pool and teasing with crystal clear water droplets.
Sima Yilan was taken aback when she heard this, and was about to answer, but at this time, the laughter of the thirteen elders came from behind Lin Bai: "Lin Xiaoyou said that he was joking, these are just rumors from outsiders, we even cherish the lives of plants, how can we let those young women in the tribe sacrifice to the God of Rain, if they really do that, it should be said that it is a blasphemy against Lord Rain God!" ”
"This is also true, if outsiders see the appearance of the Thirteen Elders, they will also sneer at those things that are false!" Lin Bai chuckled and nodded, and then said again to the Thirteenth Elder, "I don't know what the Great Elder has to say?" ”
"The two killed the voodoo Tang Wang, and returned the crystal skull to Zhao, this kindness our Mayan remnants are grateful. Therefore, the Great Elder wanted to ask the two of them to move to the hut, and he would tell them all the details. The Thirteen Elders made a gesture of invitation sideways and smiled at Lin Bai and Sima Yilan.
Lin Bai and Sima Yilan smiled at each other when they heard this, and then walked towards the hut quickly. You must know that the three places of No Man's Land, the Bloody Land, and the Cursed Land are now like a big stone pressing on their hearts, and only when this doubt is answered can their hearts be calmed.
The room was dimly lit, and a patch of straw was laid in the middle of the dark room. And the Great Elder in the mouth of the Thirteen Elders was sitting cross-legged on the straw, but because of the light, he couldn't see the old man's face.
"Great Elder, I have brought two distinguished guests!" After the thirteenth elder entered the house, he knelt down in front of the old man and said respectfully.
The Great Elder waved his hand and said softly, "You help me light the lights in the house, and then go out to greet the clansmen, let them prepare, and hold a bonfire dinner in the evening to welcome the two VIPs!" ”
Hearing this, the Thirteen Elders got up from the ground, then walked to a corner of the room, took out the flint from the table, wiped it twice, lit an oil lamp, and brought it to the Great Elder.
As soon as the lights appeared, Lin Bai and Sima Yilan gasped. If the Thirteen Elders were as thin as a bamboo pole, then the Great Elder was as thin as a skeleton, and the pieces of flesh on his body were tightly attached to the bones.
His hair is sparse and his body is full of tattoos like the Thirteen Elders, but the tattoos of the Thirteen Elders are birds, beasts and creatures in the jungle, and the tattoos on the Great Elder's body are the stars in the sky, the sun, the moon, and countless cumbersome nebulae. Tracing such a tattoo on the body, I don't know what kind of pain I had to endure in the first place.
"Great Elder, I would like you to tell the two of us about the matter of the No Man's Land, this matter is very involved, and I hope that your old man will not hide anything from the two of us." Lin Bai respectfully bowed to the Great Elder and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Great Elder opened his closed eyes, and looked at Lin Bai and Sima Yilan in front of him with a smile, although he was old, the light in the eyes of this Great Elder was non-stop, if he just looked at his eyes, he was afraid that it would be brighter than those young people, "I want to come to this girl, your surname is Sima, right?" ”
"Exactly, I don't know how you know, senior?" Sima Yilan was shocked when she heard this, and looked up at the Great Elder in great amazement. Could it be that this old man is also like a Chinese physiognomy master, who has cultivated a secret technique, and can guess the surname from the person's appearance alone.
The Great Elder smiled slightly when he heard this, and said softly: "The Nine Palace Water Mirror is the inheritance secret treasure of your Sima family, although the old man has never seen you, but he recognizes this Nine Palace Water Mirror, so he took the liberty of guessing that the girl should be a descendant of the Sima family." I don't know who Sima Qingfeng is a girl? ”
"Sima Qingfeng is the ancestor of the junior, you have met my grandfather and his old man?" Sima Yilan became more and more shocked when she heard this, listening to the tone of the Great Elder, it was obvious that there was a deep relationship between him and Sima Qingfeng.
The Great Elder smiled: "I and Qingfeng's old friend are old friends, he came here decades ago, happened to meet me, and he wandered in this village for a while, I don't know how Qingfeng's old friend is now, so many years have passed, I didn't expect him to even have a granddaughter, the world is changing really quickly, looking back, the things of that year are still like they happened yesterday!" ”
"My ancestor was killed by Xiaoxiao a month ago, and he has passed away...... Sima Yilan mourned in her heart when she heard this, and remembered the tragedy in Shuijing Village, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of her eyes, and she replied in a trembling voice.
The Great Elder's body trembled when he heard this, and there was a touch of grief on his face, and after being silent for a long time, he stretched out his thin hand and patted Sima Yilan's shoulder, and said softly: "The deceased has passed away, you don't have to be too sad, if your body is broken, you won't feel good if you want to come to Qingfeng Old Friend underground." ”
"Please also ask the Great Elder to inform me about the matter of the No Man's Land, this matter is not only about revenge for the ancestors, but also has a great deal to do with the American continent, if you don't seal this Nine Palace Water Mirror, when those small formations in Europe have been completed, Europe and the United States will definitely cause war!" Sima Yilan wiped away the tears on her face and said in a deep voice.
The Great Elder slowly stood up, raised his eyes and glanced into the distance, sighed, and said slowly: "At the beginning, Qingfeng Old Friend came here for the luck of Huaxia, and now you are here for the luck of the matter, it seems that this is also a cycle of the Heavenly Dao. It's just that the old friend of Qingfeng finally returned in a huff, and I don't know how lucky you are. ”
"Senior, is there anything weird about that no-man's land?" Hearing this, Sima Yilan looked up at the old man and asked respectfully.
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Actually, the so-called No Man's Land is this rainforest, and the Bloody Land is our village, you have already found these two places, but the cursed land ......."
"What happened to the Cursed Lands?" Hearing this, Sima Yilan looked up at the Great Elder and said urgently, from the moment she entered this village, she felt that there was something unusual in the Nine Palaces Water Mirror, but she only thought that it was caused by the mysterious aura in the rainforest, but she didn't expect that she was already in the bloody place where the Water Mirror was sealed.
The Great Elder sighed and said, "The Land of the Cursed is a forbidden land of our Mayan relics, and it is full of dangers. ”
"Senior, what did my ancestor do here back then, and what is the danger of the cursed land, please explain it to me." When Sima Yilan heard that the old man was talking about Sima Qingfeng again, she was full of doubts in her heart, and she was busy asking questions.
The Great Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Like Qingfeng's old friend, they are all anxious. It's going to be decades back......"
As he spoke, the Great Elder's face showed a look of nostalgia, as if he was nostalgic for his old friend. It turned out that a few decades ago, the land of China was devastated and wars were raging, and Sima Yilan's grandfather Sima Qingfeng wanted to change this status quo, so he wanted to use the power of the Nine Palaces Water Mirror to condense the luck of Huaxia, stop the war, and let the Chinese people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, after deducing the records in the water mirror physiognomy, Sima Qingfeng concluded that the Nine Palace Water Mirror must be sealed in order to be effective, so he crossed the ocean to South America, and then broke into the Amazon rainforest alone. Although Sima Qingfeng's physiognomy is amazing, it is extremely dangerous in the rainforest, and in the end, he was seriously injured and dying under the siege of fierce beasts.
At that time, the Great Elder happened to lead his clan out hunting, and met Sima Qingfeng, who was seriously injured, and brought him back to the tribe to recuperate. During the period of recuperation, Sima Qingfeng and the Great Elder also became close friends, and even the two taught each other the language, discussing the Chinese physiognomy and Mayan secret arts. But after Sima Qingfeng's injuries healed, he was stunned to deduce that this village was the bloody place in the legend of the Sima family!
In the same spirit, after listening to Sima Qingfeng's account of what happened, the Great Elder immediately decided to help, but he didn't expect that as soon as the two of them entered the cursed land in the records of the Mayan relics, there was an accident!
"Although our ancestors have warned us that the land of the cursed is extremely dangerous and we need to be cautious when entering. But my old friend Qingfeng and I were young and vigorous at that time, and we felt that the means in our hands were not weak, so we took three or four people into the Cursed Land as soon as we made a decision......" At this point, the Great Elder's face showed a touch of sorrow, as if he remembered the tragic scene in the Cursed Land again.
