Chapter 265: Old Home
As I spoke, Baka's face changed and changed. He touched his forehead, his third eye was closed, there was no sign of it now, the skin on his forehead was smooth, he couldn't touch anything.
I think there is a reason why the Tianyan clan is called the Tianyan clan.
But I don't know why Baka entered this forest to suddenly inspire racial characteristics.
He made it clear that he had not had amnesia before and had never been in the current situation.
I asked him to rest next to him to calm down, and I continued to probe for the lockbox.
Countless gas filaments, searching through the ruins for hours, digging out one rag after another, finally found the lockbox before the sun set.
The box was entwined with two bright silver metal snakes, their heads twisted together, and the workmanship was extremely fine.
The gas wire dragged it out, and when I got closer, two puffs of poisonous smoke came out of the snake's mouth.
And when I noticed that Baka was near, they didn't spray, so I asked Baka to open the box.
He is still adapting to his identity as a Tianyan clan.
Approaching the box that sprays poison, I am also worried.
Tremblingly, he broke the intersecting heads of the snakes, and the snake's body writhed and no longer wrapped around the box.
He opened the lid and took out the contents.
Inside there are three small boxes, plus a metal plate.
The inscription on the metal plate should be the same as the inscription on the stone pillar.
I don't recognize the text, but the small box sounds familiar to me.
On the small metal box, there are two round gemstones, one red and one green.
One up and down, the size is the same, like the launch of something, the button?
The words on the metal plate, Baka didn't open his eyes, and he couldn't read it for the time being.
I decided to take my things back to Stone Town and show them to the priests.
We walked smoothly on the way back, at the junction of the snake nest, the guide left a clear mark for us, we followed the mark, and it didn't take much trouble to return to Stone Town.
He didn't know how long we would stay in the dead place, and maybe we wouldn't be able to come back at all, so we said okay and let him go back first.
If we don't come back after seven days, then we don't have to wait.
Now that we had returned early, the inhabitants of Stone Town saw us from afar and came out to greet us.
I gave her the soil and antidote first, and it was a big deal, and she hurriedly ordered someone to take the bag and send it to the backyard of the palace to plant the herbs in the containers prepared in advance.
It was a smooth walk all the way to say it, but it also took three days to go back and forth.
For three days, Baka didn't dare to close his eyes, and after squinting for half an hour, he woke up from his nightmare and stared until dawn.
When he returned to Stone Town, he didn't care about anything else, he went back to his residence to make up for sleep first, and he didn't even participate in the wind banquet.
I asked at the banquet about the origin of the name of the Celestial Eye, and the priest pointed to her forehead, where a vertical stripe was drawn.
I hadn't noticed it before, because she was dressed like a tribal wizard I knew, with symbols painted on her face.
The vertical line on the forehead is no more conspicuous than the other patterns.
She explained that their ancestors had the Celestial Eye, but not everyone had it, it was randomly generated, and there was no pattern to speak of.
But since their ancestors established Stone City here, the people have never been out of the Sky Eye.
Gradually, people lost hope, and only the priests would make a mark on their foreheads to commemorate the 'specialness' of their ancestors.
I pulled out the metal plate and asked her to read the words.
She recognized it and translated it for me, line by line.
It sounded like an instruction manual on how to restart the 'new city' and return home.
When the priest finished reading the message on the metal plate, I told her that there was an abandoned ancient city where the antidote was grown, and the city was exactly the same as Stone Town, but it was more than ten times larger than Stone Town.
It is rich in natural resources, but it is protected by a 'mechanism'.
I could send them in, but when I left, they were completely cut off from the outside world.
The metal plate is supposed to be the 'last words' left by their ancestors, hoping that these people who have escaped will one day return to their homeland.
I observed the priest's expression, and her eyes were full of yearning when she heard the news of the abandoned ancient city.
She said that the Tianyan people had heard a legend since they were a child, that they originally had a beautiful home, but a disaster destroyed their home.
Only a small number of people escaped, lingering near their old homes, never leaving.
But where that former home was, no one knows.
In the middle of the jungle, there are still many areas they have not yet set foot in.
The vast jungle where they live contains a great deal of 'treasure'.
The Celestial Eye Clan has been limiting population growth, they have limited manpower and a limited area to explore, and to develop these resources, it also requires a lot of manpower and technology.
In the age of cold weapons, human beings were chased in the jungle as the one who served as food.
What's more, there are many mutated animals and plants in the jungle, and the size of the four-eyed white bird is much larger than that of humans.
Birds of prey and beasts are rampant, and the living space of a handful of humans is destined to be a big deal.
"Divine doctor, are you willing to help us return to the garden?" The priest asked.
"How can I help?" I'd like to hear her opinion first.
"Get us in."
"Yes, but I'm gone, how do you get out?"
"As long as we take back our treasures, we will no longer set foot in the outside world."
"If the antidote is planted, aren't you going to move out? There are spirit birds and other man-eating beasts in the jungle, and it is always unsafe to enter and exit, so when the population grows, you can build a new city outside the jungle. ”
In the past, they controlled the population because the antidote brought back by the spirit bird was limited, and in order to ensure that everyone could get a sufficient amount of antidote, they had to limit the number of people.
If the antidote is successfully planted, they will have no such limitation, and population growth is inevitable.
It is difficult to build a city in all directions in the jungle, which has a great impact on the future development of the city.
What's more, there are wild beasts and poisons along the way, as well as predators who fly through the air at any time, ready to catch people and eat, how dare outsiders come and do business with them.
I thought a little far ahead, and just thought about it, without saying it.
The priest had her concerns, and she felt that the outside world was dangerous, and this danger referred primarily to people.
She felt that people were more terrible than wild beasts, and that if their people moved outside, they would be wiped out in a short time.
Either you just become someone else's subordinate, and it won't end well anyway.
Because they lack force to protect themselves.
She said that they are used to a closed life, and it is easier for them to accept a life of complete isolation than to adapt to an unfamiliar external environment.
The priest then asked the people present, and they all said that they thought the same thing.
Since it is their will, I am willing to help them return to their homeland.
The matter of seizing the treasure is indeed that Sheng Yuguo does not talk about martial arts first.
I have no grudges with their family, but I have to take the little prince away, and he is willing to go back to Shengyu with me to accept punishment, and he doesn't want to stay here.
The priest had no problem with this, and in front of all the clansmen, she declared me the honorary queen of the Tianyan clan.
Because I have said that I will not stay as their queen, the priest gave me a false position, a named queen, with the same status as the queen, but not in the clan.
What I decide, they will carry out as if it were the Queen's orders.
I'm going to take Baka away, and they're naturally okay.
It's just that they can't move until they get the treasure back.
This requires us to go back and see Luo Xiuran to talk about it.
