Tibetan Wind Valley Chapter 28 Offering to Tallinn

The next morning, we were woken up by the noise of the village, and we saw a dozen strong men wearing a short animal skin skirt around their waists, with long feathers on their heads, and some with tail ornaments on their hips. Decorated with a large number of clumsy stone rings, bone ornaments and other objects, they danced around the center of the village, and in the middle of them were four wild boars that were still struggling. Because his limbs were bound by ropes, he struggled and howled.

After a while, the Great Elder walked out with the support of the villagers, he was dressed more gorgeously, a wide robe, with exquisite embroidery patterns on it, a one-legged monster bird in the middle of the chest, a fur hat on his head, two pitch-black feathers swaying in the wind, and a bone ring on his hand, like a bird's claws, the bone ring was inlaid with a dark green gem, with a vertical stripe in the middle of the gem, like an eye watching the people in front of him.

When the villagers saw the Great Elder coming, they all knelt on the ground, and the Great Elder stood in the crowd, his hands raised high, as if praying to the heavens, and the ceremony was completed after more than half an hour.

A villager ran over to Lu Shanlin and said, let's follow their team.

Walking through the village, I noticed that their houses were very simple, and when I looked through the window, a few children were also curiously looking at us, but they were quickly stopped by the villagers next to me, and closed the doors and windows to block our view.

We walked along the stone road paved by the villagers for about half an hour before we came to the edge of Tallinn, which looked relatively close from a distance, but it was still quite far away.

I saw that these stone towers were of various sizes, the highest was the one in the middle, made of pure white marble, more than 20 meters high, and occupied a large part of the space in Tallinn. The surrounding ones are slightly shorter, and the stones used are not the same, but they are also more than ten meters high, and the more you go to the side, the shorter they are, and the one in front of us is only more than one meter high.

The villagers also asked Lu Shanlin to translate and said: We can only walk around the edge of Tallinn, and we must not peep inside, there are holy beasts guarding Tallinn, if we disturb them, it will anger the wind god and condemn us.

The Great Elder started a new round of sacrificial activities at the entrance to Tallinn, and his mouth constantly chirped, like an eagle's cry, like a bird's song, and then asked people to cut the carotid artery of the wild boar and untie the rope.

Four wild boars sprayed blood and ran into Tallinn, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the sacrifice was over.

A strong man knelt in front of the Great Elder, who touched his forehead and chanted a spell, then took off the bone ring and handed it to the strong man, and returned to the village in the crowd of everyone.

This strong man came to talk to us and talk to us, and Lu Shanlin interpreted: "His name is Orukado, and he will take us through Tallinn according to the instructions of the Great Elder."

It was already noon after such a toss, and I looked up at the sun overhead.

Zhou Tianzuo made a gesture of please, Orukado led the way in front with a bone ring, and our large army followed him into Tallinn.

It's sunny outside, but when you enter Tallinn, you feel like the light and heat are being sucked away, and the sun is shining on you, but it still feels cold.

I stopped and looked around, Orukado, who was leading the way in front of me, saw me stop and yelled at me angrily, Lu Shanlin interpreted, he told us to hurry up, if the time of the sacrifice is exceeded, the Holy Bone Ring will not protect our safety.

Could it really be as the legend goes, there are monsters in this Tallinn, Lu Shanlin was a little frightened, and urged us to leave quickly.

This piece of Tallinn is circular, and we will walk along the periphery of the circle. Suddenly, I saw an animal lying there not far away, and I was amazed: Isn't that the wild boar that was just released? The carotid artery was severed, and it is estimated that it will die here when the blood runs out of water.

After saying that, he ran to Tallinn, walked to the wild boar and observed it, and waved at us, saying that it was the wild boar.

When Orucardo saw someone leaving the group, he quickly ran over and yelled at Xiong Dali, who couldn't understand what he was saying, so he just stared at him blankly.

Suddenly, the boar on the ground stood up and ran quickly towards the depths of Tallinn, it turned out that it was not completely dead, but his fangs passed through the bone ring that Orukado was holding, and ran into the depths of Tallinn with this bone ring.

We were all stunned by this sudden scene, the wild boar cheated the corpse, and Xiong Dali laughed. In fact, anyone who has had the experience of killing chickens and geese knows that the vitality of these animals is tenacious, and some of the chicken's heads are cut off and are still bouncing there for a long time.

But Orucardo's face turned green, the bone ring was a symbol of the god of wind and our safety through Tallinn, and now it was snatched away by a wild boar, and he emotionally hit the bear vigorously to vent his frustration.

Xiong Dali also knew that he was causing trouble for others, and from the importance they attached to that bone ring, it must be the most important treasure in their clan, if he hadn't run out of the team out of curiosity, he wouldn't have caused this kind of thing, so he couldn't bear to take a few punches from Orukado.

We also hurried over and pulled away Orukado, what should we do now? Lu Shanlin, you go and communicate with him. Zhou Tianzuo said to Lu Shanlin.

Lu Shanlin communicated with the emotional Orukado and came back to tell us: he said that he was going to find the Holy Ring, and without the Holy Ring, their village would be condemned by the Wind God, and he would not show us the way.

Isn't that right? We looked at each other, we had wanted to enter Tallinn, and now that we were rightly in the depths of Tallinn.

Zhou Tianzuo asked Lu Shanlin to tell Oludoka that this accident is our responsibility, and we are willing to help him find the Holy Ring together.

After hearing this, Orukado was very grateful to us, and asked Lu Shanlin to translate: Thank you very much for not abandoning me, but I want to remind you that we can only pass through this Tallinn at noon and go to the back mountain to hunt, if you don't come back before the sun goes down, you can only stay in the mountain forest, and you must not return to the village through Tallinn, otherwise you will be taken away by the children of the god of wind and sacrificed to the god of wind.

I looked at the time, and it was just after one o'clock, and it was still early before the sun went down, so I motioned for us to hurry up and look for it, and maybe the wild boar would die before it had gone far.

Our large team of sixty people began to walk towards the depths of Tallinn, which has begun to be relatively tall, the tall tower body blocks the sun, making us feel as if we are in the primeval forest, and we are a little unable to distinguish the direction, Zhou Tianzuo shouted, everyone be careful not to get separated, there is something strange here.

It turned out that we had been walking for almost an hour, but we had not yet touched the robbing pig, it was absolutely impossible for him to run so far, and with the size of Tallinn, we should have passed through it for so long, and now we are still walking around under the tower more than three meters high, and we have not even reached the center.

We stopped to observe the terrain, and I saw that there was a circular stone cave at the top of these stone towers, and the top of the tower was octagonal, I don't know why it was designed?

Nangong Xinyue took out the compass, but the pointer swayed randomly, obviously the magnetic field here was extremely unstable and could not guide the direction correctly.

I said to Nangong Xinyue, don't bring a compass when you come out in the future, you can't use it once.

Nangong Xinyue reluctantly put away the compass, then why do you say we got lost?

I spread my hands and said, "I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't have lost."

Nangong Xinyue glanced at me and didn't speak.

That wild biologist over there, a famous explorer, tell me why we got lost?" Xiong shouted vigorously at Lu Jie, who was sitting on the ground panting.

How do I know? I'm a zoologist, and I'm not a geology. Lu Jie gasped.

Lu Shanlin, you ask that Orukado, isn't he from this village?

After communicating with the frustrated Orukado, Lu Shanlin told us that he had never entered the depths of Tallinn either, but had walked along the outer circle, and that they had been told since childhood not to enter the depths of Tallinn under any circumstances, which was the forbidden place of the god of wind. If he hadn't been robbed of the Holy Ring this time, he wouldn't have come in if he had been killed.

Suddenly my eyes flashed with the light and I looked closely at the stone tower and then at the sun and I thought I knew why we were lost.

Everyone turned their eyes to me, and I said, "Look at the top of the stone tower, it's all octagonal, and it's polished and smooth and reflective, if you look closely, what's the difference between these two towers?"

Nangong Xinyue was smart, and she found something wrong at once, the angles of the two towers were slightly staggered, because the difference was very small, so we didn't pay attention.

That's right, I continued, you look at the sun in the sky, the sun shines on the stone tower and is reflected, because Tallinn has blocked the sunlight for more than three meters, so we follow the reflected light, it is these rays that guide us to keep going around here, we can go out with the sun as the positioning this time.

Or my madman is smarter, much better than those bullshit professors, Xiong vigorously disdainful.

I slapped the bear vigorously, don't say that, there's another professor here. I pointed to the guide Gong Xinyue.

Oh, oh, the bear reacted vigorously and quickly explained; I'm talking about those who haven't figured out a way to do it are bullshit professors, Professor Nangong is talented, doesn't this immediately see that the angle of the stone tower is wrong.

Nangong Xinyue heard him praise himself, and now is not the time to make a big fuss, so he didn't pursue it again.

Just as we were rejoicing in thinking of a way to get out, a dark cloud drifted out of nowhere, blocking the sun, and the morale that was high in an instant dropped again.

We came up with a new method, which is to judge the direction according to the height of the stone tower, and as we go deeper, the stone tower is already seven or eight meters high, and it is difficult to determine the height.

We've been stuck in Tallinn for more than two hours, and the night in the mountains always comes early, and it's almost five o'clock, and we're still wandering around Tallinn.

When darkness falls, the mountain wind howls, and the eerie Tallinn is unusually quiet.

Suddenly, a ghost-like crying voice came from a distance, breaking the silence here, Nangong Xinyue hugged my arm in fright, this atmosphere is indeed terrifying.

Then I saw a pair of green dots lit up on the stone tower in the distance, and it was from there that the ghost cries came from.

It can't be a ghost, Nangong Xinyue said to me tremblingly.

I turned on the spotlight above my head, and saw something fly out of the round hole in the stone tower with a hula and stand at the top of the stone tower, a one-legged monster bird, which looked like an owl, but with a sharper beak and serrated teeth, as if it could tear meat. The wings are so small that they seem to be able to fly only simply, and cannot fly too high.

Isn't this the kind of bird that the Great Elder shows?

When Orukado saw the strange bird, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and fell to his knees. There are words in the mouth.

What is he doing? Zhou Tianzuo asked Lu Shanlin.

Lu Shanlin paused for a moment and said: He is begging the Holy Beast to forgive us for our sins, and begging for forgiveness from the Wind God.
