Chapter XXII: The Priestess

"White Shadow?" I asked.

"Yes." Lisa said, "The white shadow was so fast that it disappeared in a flash. But one thing I'm pretty sure of is that the white shadow is a woman. Long hair, white clothes, and a 'clucking' ghost laugh scared the hell out of me. ”

"Then Uncle Di was injured by her?" I asked.

Lisa shook her head and said, "I'm not so sure. But there's nothing else around but her, so it's probably the female ghost. No, it should be said that it was the priestess of Atlantis. ”

"The priestess of Atlantis?" The old ghost looked at Lisa suspiciously.

"Hmmm! At first, the priestess didn't do anything to me. It may be that they don't understand our details, so they don't act rashly. Lisa reasoned.

Lisa said this and said no more.

I was just hearing some clues, and Lisa stopped so suddenly that I couldn't stop for a while. He hurriedly asked, "And then?" ”

The things I wanted to know were suddenly interrupted, and I didn't know how depressed I was. If I had a cigarette in my hand, I would definitely take a big puff to relieve the depression in my heart. But along the way, I panicked, and all the things that should have been prepared were prepared, except for the cigarettes.

In fact, the old ghost and I don't have a big addiction to smoking, and we don't usually smoke much. Before in school. It was just to play a cool costume B that I got into cigarettes, and gradually I smoked it. If you usually want to smoke, I will smoke one or two. But Duoduo hated the smell of cigarettes, so he kept not letting me smoke, but it didn't form much of a smoking addiction.

The most smoked time is when you play games with old ghosts all night, or when you are under pressure. At this time, two cigarettes can refresh and relieve nerves more than any medicine.

Last time I escaped from Ghost Island in the Caribbean. At the time of Cape Canaveral. The old ghost said that in order to celebrate our triumph and accident, we obtained a large box of gold and silver. I deliberately bought a box of cigars with B. It is said that since then, he has become a rich man, and a rich man must have the appearance of a rich man, and if he wants to smoke something like a cigar.

I don't agree with the old ghost's statement, rich people smoke more cheap cigarettes. The old ghost said. That's the master who slammed the door. Have you ever seen a rich man pull a big pack out of his pocket. Reach out and send it to someone. He said, "Hey, would you like one?" "Isn't it cold? I can't really think of him saying that. But at that time, he still snatched the old ghost's cigar. Packed in a bag.

Thinking of the box of cigars, I immediately pulled them into my bag, found the cigars and lit them for myself. The old ghost was still comforting Lisa, and when he saw me taking out the cigar and smoking it, he immediately reluctant: "Didn't you say okay, let's smoke it again in Savannah?" Why the hell are you pumping it now? ”

"If you don't smoke it now, I guess there will be no chance to smoke it again!" I say.

It took a long time to light the cigar, and then it was really hard to smoke, and it was not as sharp as a normal cigarette. I took two puffs and it was too hard to taste, so I said to the old ghost, "What the hell is this?" I can't even smoke it! ”

With that, I was ready to throw away the cigar in my hand. The old ghost hurriedly shouted as if he was about to lose his life: "Don't throw it! If you don't smoke it, give it to me, don't waste it! ”

I looked at the cigar in my hand and wasn't surprised. It was not the first time that the old ghost had "slammed the door", shrugged his shoulders, and handed him the cigar. He took it and hurriedly sucked it in as if he had some kind of treasure. One was defenseless, choking on tears and snot.

Lisa laughed out loud when she saw what we were doing, especially the old ghost. The nervous system, which is extremely disordered, can also be relaxed for a short time. hurriedly said, "Can you two still have a serious time?" ”

I was about to ask Dickens about her, when my eyes suddenly lit up again. The lanterns that had suddenly gone out were lit again. With the light, our gloomy mood suddenly became better!

I saw that Lisa's complexion was much better than before, so I asked her, "Tell us what the priestess is all about?" ”

Lisa said: "It was like this: when the lights went out, I was very scared. Hurriedly grabbed Uncle Di's arm and told him what I had just seen. Uncle Di naturally became cautious immediately, looking around, but he couldn't see anything. Or maybe they were afraid that I would have an accident, so they hid with me in a low hole on the side.

However, after a long time there was no movement, we relaxed a little. Uncle Di turned on a small fluorescent lamp and looked around, and happened to find a book about Atlantis next to us. ”

"Books?" I asked, "There were books back then?" ”

Lisa nodded and said, "Well, yes." And what is even more surprising is that I can understand most of the content of this book. It was a combination of archaic language and hieroglyphs, which I was interested in when I was in school. I learned a little bit, but I didn't understand everything, so I just read a rough idea.

It records the entire history, humanities, and decline of Atlantis. Literally, Atlantis has grown to a considerable height. When I compare their civilization at that time with the development of our civilization today, it is much higher than ours! ”

"Wouldn't it? According to you, world civilization is going backwards? The old ghost asked.

Lisa nodded and said, "If you start from the perspective of world civilization, it must be going backwards. But I didn't live in that era, and I don't dare to say for sure. According to records, their social civilization at that time was very developed, and the social environment was also very harmonious. People love each other and have a clear division of labor with each other. In terms of natural resources, it is also very rich, and it is all self-reliant.

Moreover, they each have their own duties, and the most sacred is the priestess. Not only can they understand animal language, but they can also use their minds to influence others, and they can read minds. The priestess's job was to guard the crystal of Atlantis, which was said to be the center of the city's energy center, as it could predict the future.

What's even more interesting is that they didn't get married at that time. As long as you look at each other and have a ceremony, you can live together. ”

"Holy, so good? Why didn't I ......" Lisa was excited when she heard this, but when she saw Lisa glaring at him, she immediately swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Lisa then said: "The extremes of things must be opposed, just like what is written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: If you divide for a long time, you must be united, and if you are united for a long time, you must be divided." When their social civilization reaches a certain level, it has already stopped. At this time, some people within them began to be dissatisfied, and there was civil strife. Thus, the catastrophe of Atlantis was launched. (To be continued......)
