Chapter 106: The Cardinal
With Catherine's shout, everyone saw a shadow wearing a sailor's hat disappear in a flash, and the speed was a little surprising.
Seeing that there were people on the island, everyone was in a good mood and hurriedly chased forward, just wondering why the man was running.
"How can there be a handprint here," Bripina said, pointing to a mark in a soft spot on the ground.
Lin Feng examined it carefully, shook his head and said, "This is not a human handprint, this is the footprint of some kind of primate." ”
"No wonder it was running so fast just now, it turned out to be a monkey, but the hat he was wearing was real." Sophia affirmed.
"It doesn't matter what he is, we can find him by following the trails he left behind." Lin Feng made a decision.
Everyone continued to follow the vaguely recognizable footprints, not knowing whether there were not many animals here in the first place or were scared away by the sight of too many people, and after a long time, no other animals were seen.
After marching for more than two hours, the women couldn't bear it again, because they didn't have shoes to wear, especially the mermaid Xiaomei, who frowned and frowned frequently.
Lin Feng grabbed her white and tender slender jade feet and took a look, how could this work! The soles of her feet had several large white blisters.
Immediately let everyone rest in place, this is not good, we have to find a way.
I checked the nuns' feet again, and although the situation was a little better than Xiaomei, it was not much better.
Thinking so, he first found some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving herbs on the spot, because there was no suitable place to mash them, so he put them in his mouth and chewed them, and then punctured the blisters with a bone needle, released the white fluid inside, and applied the chewed herbs.
The fresh herbs were very irritating, and Xiaomei shivered in pain after applying it, but she still grabbed Lin Feng's arm and gritted her teeth and smiled at him.
After dealing with everyone's blisters, Lin Feng asked them to eat some coconut meat and drink some coconut water to replenish their strength.
What to do without shoes! He remembered the straw sandals worn by the predecessors of the Chinese Revolution when they climbed the snowy mountains and crossed the grassland, and there were many rattans in the woods, which were much stronger than the mountain grasses, and they were relatively soft after rubbing, so they should be suitable for weaving shoes.
As soon as he said it, he cut some thick rattan sticks with a fish intestine sword, whipped vigorously at the trunk, peeled off the soft outer skin, and then cut it into strips of rattan bark of equal width and narrowness.
Lin Feng once helped his father weave wax baskets and wicker baskets, knew the procedure of weaving things, and after weaving and dismantling a few times, he successfully knitted a pair of beautiful rattan shoes for Xiaomei, Xiaomei was overjoyed to look at the beautiful rattan shoes, it may be the first time she wore shoes in her life, after putting on the shoes, she was crooked and couldn't walk, and it took a while to get used to it.
The nuns' eyes were hot, and they were envious of Xiaomei's rattan shoes.
"Lin, you are so beautiful in making shoes, you can't be partial, we want it too." Alexis was the first to speak.
"That's it, that's it."
"A bowl of water should be flat!"
"We escaped together!"
Sophia, they followed suit.
"Don't worry, young ladies, yours are indispensable."
"That's pretty much it, poof!" While everyone was not paying attention, the petite Alexis tiptoed and kissed him on the face, and ran away with a grin.
Xiaomei has a strong imitation ability, and she also kissed him on the face, but when she ran away, she was not as sharp as Alexis, and her new shoes and feet were not perfectly connected, and she fell to the ground with a "plop".
After having the experience of weaving the first pair of rattan shoes, the next few pairs of knitting were much faster, because the beauties' foot injuries would not be good for a while, so Lin Feng cut his coat and made a few pairs of socks.
"Lin, I can't bear to wear it, I want to keep it for the Miss World foot show." Alexis can't get enough of the shoes she loves.
"Put it on, if you like me, I'll make you a few pairs later." Lin Feng promised Alexis.
"That's what you said, sisters, you have to give me a testimony! Don't cheat. ”
With shoes and socks, I moved much faster, and after walking for about two hours, the front suddenly opened up, and the woods disappeared at once.
Ahead is a large irregular circular pothole, and there are several houses at the bottom of the cave, and there is no standing water in this low-lying area in this rain-rich tropical rainforest, which shows that there must be a hub for water discharge.
"Let's go down and have a look." Lin Feng had discovered a winding stone path leading to the bottom of the cave.
"Look, the monkey's footprints." Bripina said, pointing to a dusty stone path.
Lin Feng nodded, in fact, he had already seen this footprint.
At this time, Lin Feng's heart was very excited, and the excitement was not because he saw the footprints of the monkey, but because he felt a surging aura enveloping him. Moreover, the "Taiqing Mixed Yuan Lu" exercise in the body was running automatically, frantically absorbing this rich aura.
When he was on the beach, he didn't feel a little aura, not because the aura there was blocked, but because there was no aura at all, and for some reason all the aura on the island was gathered here.
The aura in his body had been exhausted and emptied when he was injured before, but now that a large amount of pure aura had been absorbed and refined, Lin Feng's whole body was extremely happy, and he seemed to have a feeling of wanting to break through.
However, he just had that feeling, and he didn't break through until the dantian qi sea was full of aura.
Everything happened in the downward march, Lin Feng did not deliberately stop cultivating, everyone here had almost gone down to the bottom of the cave, and the small house in front of them had been clearly seen to be built on a big black stone.
The big black stone crater is mottled and uneven, and the meteorite? Lin Feng suddenly concluded that this irregular crater had actually been smashed out by a meteorite.
Since it is a super large meteorite, it is reasonable that all the aura is gathered here, and the extraterrestrial meteorite itself contains a huge amount of energy, and because of its powerful electromagnetic interference, it is normal for no planes and ships to pass here.
"Squeak, squeak." Sure enough, it was a monkey of unknown breed, and he was wearing a sailor's hat on his head.
The monkey was not afraid of people, and barked at them a few times before taking a few steps forward.
"This monkey behaves very strangely, as if it is deliberately leading the way." Catherine was very attentive in her observations.
Such a bold monkey had either cultivated to perfection or undergone artificial training, and the one in front of him was obviously the latter, because Lin Feng couldn't feel any cultivation aura on his body.
After passing a few small rooms, the monkey stopped at the door of a large room, and before Lin Feng and the others could think about it, a voice came from the room, "Haha, after waiting for sixty years, he really got what he said, friend, come in." ”
The monkey could obviously understand human language, and as soon as the words inside fell, it opened the door of the room, and Lin Feng and the others entered.
"Meet the Bishop." Catherine and the others fell to their knees when they saw the people in the room, their hands drawing crosses on their chests. Xiaomei was about to kneel down at first, but seeing that Lin Feng didn't move, her legs bent halfway and stood up again.
Lin Feng looked at the people in the room, an old foreign man, wearing a red hat and a tattered red robe, with gray hair and beard, it seemed that he hadn't left here for a long time.
The old man drew a cross on his chest and said, "Little friend, I've finally waited for you." She spoke pure Chinese.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng opened his mouth to ask.
The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't have to ask, I know what you want to ask, I will tell you one by one." ”
"You guys get up too," the old man stretched out his hand, and the four nuns who were kneeling on the ground were pulled up by Qi Qi, the old man obviously used aura, but Lin Feng couldn't tell his complexion level.
"He didn't lie to me, and sure enough, he received four treasures, and it seems that the bones are excellent," said the old man, who seemed to be used to talking to himself after many years of solitude.
"You four come with me to the Vatican, I will recommend you to the Pope, I haven't been back for decades," the old man said to the four nuns.
After listening to the old man, Catherine's eyes flashed with excitement, being able to go to the Holy See, that is the dream and glory of the nun for a lifetime.
Several nuns wanted to bow down again, but when the old man stretched out his hand, they couldn't kneel.
"I have spent most of my life in the ...... of China"
