Chapter 234: The Arrival of the Gods
Regarding Ding Qin's request to see the murals, Bao Bao did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Brother wants to see it, I'll show you." ”
One after the other, the two left Ding Qin's residence and went to an underground cave about two or three miles outside the village.
On the periphery of the cave, there were two people guarding the cave, and when they saw Bao Bao and Ding Qin, they showed great respect, especially Ding Qin's face did not dare to look directly.
The cave is actually not big, and it is about 100 meters long and 10 meters wide, which should be dug out by hand. The walls of the cave are very flat and all carved with frescoes.
From the beginning of entering the cave, there are some murals of fishing and hunting. Then at some point, there was a slight change in the style of the mural, and in one of them, a stone was highlighted.
The stone is painted large, radiating light, and inside it there are various objects. People knelt around the stones, and the scene was slightly panicked.
After that, there was a large section of the paintings that were all about stones. And in the innermost part, the mural has changed.
At first, a man with a star belt appeared behind him and took the stone.
After that, people began to get sick and showed signs of suffering.
After that, the people with the ribbons came again to heal the people, and finally ascended to the sun under the prostrations of the people.
Obviously, this person with the star belt is their "god". And judging from the depiction of the star belt, it should be spiritual.
Of course, Ding Qin found that perhaps spirituality was not the key point here. The core of the frescoes in the entire cave lies in the stone.
The devotional took away the stones.
It was only after that that people started getting sick.
What is the relationship between stones and disease?
Ding Qin was puzzled and asked Bao Bao, "What does this stone mean?"
Bao Bao said, "According to legend, someone once found a strange stone in the ancestors, as long as the method is right, all kinds of things can be thrown into it and absorbed by the stone. People said that it was the stone of the gods. ”
Later, when the gods appeared, they took out all the things in the stone. It's just that the stone was also taken away by the gods. As for what the stone looks like, I haven't seen it either. Bao Bao said, pointing to some murals that corresponded.
Could it be that the stone is a Lingna stone?
Ding Qin naturally had an inference in his heart.
"So, what did the gods call this stone?" he asked, tentatively, after a moment's thought.
Bao Bao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know?"
Ding Qinxin said, sure enough. He didn't say much, revealing his belt, "I also have a piece of such a stone." You see. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a stone and put it in his belt. After a while, he activated his spiritual power and took out the stone again.
Bao Bao's face changed greatly, "Brother, you said you are not a god, but you have obviously done the same thing as a god." ”
Ding Qin shook his head, "It's not a god who did it. It's just a spiritual skill. The people who come to you should be spiritual. But I wonder if your illness started when they appeared?"
Bao Bao said, "There is no exact record of when I started to get sick. But it was definitely after the Lingna Stone you said was taken away by the gods. Until now, every time the gods come, they either heal us and ask us about the progress of the search for the Spiritual Stone. ”
"The progress of finding the Lingna Stone, are you helping them find the Lingna Stone?" this made Ding Qin a little surprised.
Bao Bao said, "That's right. The gods said that the formation of the Lingna Stone requires specific natural conditions, and the essence of the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang, must be harmonized to give birth to the Lingna Stone. As a result, Linnaite is generally aggregated to form. It's a long process, but often, finding a Lenna Stone means that more Lena Stones can be found here. ”
He paused for a moment, as if hesitating about something, and finally said, "When we first found the location of the Lingna Stone, we have opened a large mine, and sure enough, all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures have appeared. It's just that until now, no second Lingna Stone has been found. ”
"Lingna stone is divided into male and female, not all of them are clustered. Ding Qin retold the news he had just heard from the bone soul to Bao Bao, "Only the mother's immature Lingna stone will form a deposit and appear multiplural. However, it is likewise limited in the amount it can generate. ”
"The male Lingna Stone is sometimes formed all at once under specific natural conditions. For example, lightning strikes. When lightning strikes, it is possible to temporarily change the environment, and at the same time, under the powerful energy of thunder and lightning, a single Lingnashi stone is formed. Unconsciously, Ding Qin played the image of a great wise man again.
Bao Bao didn't understand too much when he heard it, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Then, our Ganlin Island is considered a male and female?"
Is the island considered to be the male and female? Ding Qin suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard this. But he understood what Bao Bao meant, "You take me to your mines." ”
Bao Bao did not refuse. Leaving the cave, the two walked another three or four miles, on the north side of the island, into the mining area.
There are more than a dozen people coming in and out, some carrying earth and rocks outside, and some sending supplies inside. After following Bao Bao for a short time, Bao Bao pointed to one of the fenced areas and said, "This is the place where the Lingna Stone was found at that time. ”
Ding Qin looked at it and didn't make any comments for a while. Because he was waiting for the bone soul to come to a conclusion.
In the process, he and Bao Bao continued to walk inside, but found that the various gold, silver, jade and other treasures here were very rich.
Finally, the bone soul told Ding Qin that there were no conditions for the formation of Lingna Stone here. That Lingnashi was formed by accident.
Ding Qin told Bao Bao this information, and Bao Bao actually looked a little lost.
Perhaps, the production of Lingna Stone is one of the things that gives them a sense of superiority.
It's just that after such a long time, if there is a Lingna Stone here, a second one should have been discovered a long time ago.
Maybe they themselves feel the same way, but they just don't want to admit it.
The two were silent for a while, and Ding Qin suggested going back. Before they reached the entrance of the cave, someone came to report to Bao Bao that a big ship had appeared on the sea, and that the gods might be coming.
Bao Bao's expression was slightly frightened, "Does the patriarch already know?"
Come humane," has been reported to the patriarch. ”
Bao Bao looked at Ding Qin, "According to the custom, I am going to meet the gods. If we offend them, we are afraid of getting into trouble. So, I can't accompany my brother for the time being. ”
Ding Qin has always been very interested in the identity of these so-called gods, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't I go with you to greet them." ”
Bao Bao showed a hesitant expression, "This ......"
Ding Qin said, "My boat is by the sea, and I can't hide it if I want to." Rather than letting those people know that outsiders are there and become suspicious of you, it is better for me to come forward directly. ”
Bao Bao thought for a long time, "I can't decide on this matter, why don't we go and ask the patriarch for instructions." ”
Seeing the patriarch, the patriarch also thought about it for a long time. In the end, he made up his mind, "Then ask Brother Ding Qin to go with him." ”
On the beach where Ding Qin came, many people have gathered now. Like last time, these people hid in the trees instead of lining up to greet them.
At sea level, a large ship is slowly approaching. The boat should be mainly made of wood, not fast, and the main focus should be on stability and comfort.
Although it may be about the same size as Ding Qin's ironclad ship, it is clear that the ironclad ship has a more slender hull, faster speed, and stronger defense, which will take advantage of a lot of battles at sea.
This is the difference between a battleship and an ordinary civilian ship.
Apparently, the ship also spotted the ironclad battleship. Their speed began to slow down, and when they reached a certain distance, they lowered the dinghy and circled around the ironclad battleship.
After making sure that it didn't look like a threat, the big ship turned slightly, kept some distance from the ironclad ship, slowly sailed to the shore, and anchored.
Three dinghies were dropped off from the boat and one after another landed on the beach.
There were a dozen or so people on the boat, and the one in the middle was obviously one level higher.
They didn't go into the woods. At the outer edge of the woods, a large person shouted, "The gods have descended, Ganlin Island is coming to greet you!"
His voice was urged by spiritual power, so it was basically heard all over the island.
Bao Bao was the first to fall down the cane from the tree, and then the others landed one by one. Just like when they greeted Ding Qin, these people walked out of the woods and knelt neatly on the beach, "Everyone from Ganlin Island, greet the gods." ”
They didn't get up right away. The man in the middle walked to the front and said, "What's going on with this big ship?
What surprised Ding Qin was that this person was actually a woman.
She covered her face with a thin veil, and although she didn't see it too real from a distance, her exposed eyes were a little seductive.
Her voice is also very sweet, and it seems that every word makes people's bones itch.
Bao Bao said, "A few days ago, a brother came from the sea, passed through my island, and stopped here. ”
There was a kind of dissatisfaction in the woman's tone, "How many days have you been passing by?" I remember that we had made a rule that no one passing by should stay here for more than two days. However, just now we have observed the traces of the waterline of the ship, and it is clear that he will not be on the island for only two days. ”
Bao Bao said, "Back to the gods, the gods are like gods, and it is true that he has been on the island for more than two days." Mainly, this brother helped everyone to treat the disease, which delayed some time. ”
"Heal?" the woman was slightly startled at first, and then added, "You let someone else heal?" We told you that all you have are incurable diseases, and if you let others cure them, maybe the whole race will perish!
Bao Bao said, "The will of the gods, we dare not not remember. However, he did cure us all. In this way, it can be regarded as sharing the worries of the gods and benefiting Ganlin Island. ”
"Fart!" the woman roared.
Such words came out of her mouth, and it was indeed a little inappropriate. Bao Bao and the others obviously didn't expect her to shout like this, and they were all so frightened that they trembled.
"Find out where that person is!" the woman roared again, "Go! Otherwise, I'll ask you!"
