Chapter 21: The Civilization of Chachapoas
Master Wen Da sneered, but remained silent. These foreigners don't know much about China, but they like to be smart!
However, this Carlos, Wen Fei is still more interested. Of course, it was not for him as a person, but he found that this person was wrapped with a layer of black gas, and the three fires were extremely dim, I am afraid that he may be unlucky at any time, and the violent death is not the end. I don't know how this guy provoked such a murderous thing!
In fact, not only him, but other Carlos' subordinates were also entangled by this power. This kind of power, with its bloody and dark divine power, made Wen Fei very interested.
Tom said quietly, "This is Carlos, a guy who claims to have Spanish aristocratic blood!"
Wen Fei stretched out his hand lightly, and Carlos bit his cigar and laughed, stretching out his bear-like palm. As soon as the two shook hands, Carlos's face began to change color.
From carelessness, it became red, and then it turned white. Wen Fei let go of Carlos's hand and said lightly: "Let's go, go in and take a look at the goods!"
Carlos's attitude has changed too much this time, and he is no longer the kind of gaze that almost treated Wen Fei as a lamb just now.
Everywhere is about strength, especially where this chaotic law of the jungle dominates. Just now, his Carlos's hand bones were almost crushed by Wen Fei!
This is that Wen Fei has already shown his strength, and Carlos naturally wants to change his attitude. Chinese kung fu is not terrible, no matter how powerful it is, it can't dodge the strafing of dozens of guns.
It is Wen Fei who dares to have an unscrupulous attitude in this situation. It shows that people must hold something. Won't be afraid of him Carlos.
Seeing Wen Fei go in first, Tom smiled and said to Carlos, "Mr. Wen is Mr. Tangeqili's guest!"
As soon as he said this, Carlos's face changed. He couldn't be better. It can't beat a big arms dealer like Dan Geqili. It can be said that if he wants to make some good goods, he has to look at Dan Geqili's face. This kind of buying and selling is almost a seller's market.
The tent wasn't too big, and it was stuffed with wooden boxes. Carlos's mentality adjusted quickly, and at this time, he was already full of smiles: "These are all good things for the Chachapoas civilization!"
He said as he pried open the wooden boxes. A chest is filled with carefully crafted stone carvings of different sizes and shapes. The style of these stone carvings has a distinctly American style, and the shapes are exaggerated and weird, even reminding Wen Fei of the shapes of those works of art from the Bronze Age in China.
Other chests contain statues, clay pots, and ornately coloured and uniquely shaped vessels. There are even plenty of well-preserved textiles. The patterns and colors are dazzling.
However, what really caught Wen Fei's attention was the stone carvings, which were mixed with some unique styles of jaguar and monkey stone carvings between large dragon-shaped birds and snake-shaped fish.
There are also some obvious slabs that have been violently removed from buildings. These intricately carved reliefs look very similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs. It's just that they're a little more abstract.
Wen Fei's attention was focused on the mysterious power that was evident on these stone carvings.
Although it is very faint, there is a faint hint of aura. This shows that the origin of these things is quite interesting. Without thinking too much, Wen Fei already knew why these guys were so difficult to deal with.
Maybe it was a god worshipped by the ancient American civilization who narrowly escaped the fall. It's just that in this part of the Americas, there are many ancient gods, and Wen Fei doesn't know much about the gods here.
"Well, good stuff!" Carlos laughed, "That's a big deal." I'm sure there won't be another one in the next 20 years!"
Wen Fei nodded. The huge tent was full of boxes, and what Wen Fei saw was only a tiny part of it. He wondered a little in his heart, could it be that they had emptied a museum for such a large-scale smuggling of cultural relics?
Although he thought so, Wen Fei didn't have the idea of meddling. If someone smuggled so many Chinese cultural relics, Wen Fei might even reach out. But what about these......
Wen Fei smiled faintly, "These things have the breath of the dead on them, you have to be careful!" he said, pointing to the jars.
"Uh," Carlos' face stiffened. Obviously, Wen Fei said something on his mind.
In fact, Wen Fei knew the origin of these things at the first glance when he saw them. 100% of them are funerary goods, that is to say, Ming vessels, Ming vessels that have just been dug up in the soil.
"What kind of civilization did you just talk about, what's going on?" Wen Fei asked.
Tom knew that Wen Fei was not very familiar with these things. also knew that Wen Fei would probably ask, and he had already done his homework early, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, this civilization created by the legendary Chachapoyas people was about 400 square kilometers in its heyday. Nestled above the Andes Mountains of Peru!"
Wen Fei asked, "Wait, what civilization do you say is in Peru? Not in Mexico?"
"Yes, Mexico is an Aztec civilization!" Tom said to Wen Fei. The interest of the old rice in the continent below their ass is obviously relatively high.
On the international black market, the prices of these works of art from South America remain high. Loved by wealthy people who have a penchant for collecting.
And this Carlos, needless to say, is clearly dedicated to tomb robbery. And unlike those thieves in China, they are more like the so-called mountain movers.
It was directly relied on the large number of people and various high-tech means to rob the tomb. In any case, in these jungles in South America, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are a large number of unexplored areas. The power of the government is very strong enough to control these things at all.
Wen Fei sighed and said, "You go on!"
Tom immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Wen Chachapoyas is a vast metropolitan area of farms, temples and forts. It is located in the middle of a dense mountain forest, and no one has ever visited it. Legend has it that it was formed by the fusion of various mystical cultures, and its origins are little known. ”
Tom was quick to put the so-called Chachapoyas into a succinct state: "This civilization was probably a city-state system, and was conquered by the famous Inca Empire around 1480 AD. ”
It's really a textbook-like answer. No matter how mysterious and fantastical things are, in this cold tone and vocabulary, they will become boring.
Carlos laughed this time, but his story was much more interesting than Tom's. He laughed: "In fact, this civilization is a rather mysterious existence in the Americas, which has always fascinated many archaeologists in Europe and the United States. Because it is said that this civilization was actually created by the white race!"
Wen Fei frowned, this is really fresh. It is well known that the Indians, the descendants of these American civilizations, are all yellow.
Perhaps the place where they live is more humid and hot, so their skin color is closer to that of the Marais. But judging from the stature and appearance, it is indeed of the Mongolian race.
Seeing Wen Fei's interest, Carlos smiled: "So this legendary race is also called the Peruvian Cloud People (Cloudpeopleperu)!" These characteristics have aroused the interest of historians, because there are no known European ancestors in the area, and most of the local residents here are dark-skinned. And there are too many mysterious legends about this people, and the most fascinating thing about the legends is the mysterious relationship between this people and the Quetzelquat, the god of Quetzalcoatl!"
Carlos spoke in a very mysterious, seductive tone, which was much more moving than Tom's cold, mechanical tone.
Unaware of Tom's mysterious smile behind his back, he wanted to get words out of Carlos' mouth. Let him say that if he says too much, he will lose, and there will always be traces.
In fact, as a former reporter for the magazine "Incredible". Tom also has a considerable understanding of such a civilization!
Tom could sense Wen Fei's interest in these antique artworks. And this interest obviously does not come from the artworks themselves, but from something behind these artworks!
"You Chinese will definitely be interested in Quetzalcoatl, right?" Carlos smiled proudly, thinking that he knew the Chinese very well: "This Quetzalcoatl God is simply too similar to your Chinese snake-like dragon!"
As he spoke, he found a well-placed chest, from which he quickly took out a stone carving. The stone sculpture resembles a feathered snake, coiled together.
Wen Fei saw at first glance that this stone sculpture was not so much a stone sculpture as a statue of a god. There is even a faint divine power on it!
On the other larger stone carving, it looks like a dragon head. Just one head weighs almost a ton, and here there is only one head, which looks like it was sawn off with a chainsaw. Wen Fei bared his teeth, and somehow thought of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
The stone carving head of this Quetzalcoatl God is more like a dragon's head, and the most important thing is that this stone carving has been destroyed into this virtue, but a little spiritual light on it is always endless.
"Could it be that the Quetzalcoatl God has not fallen?" Wen Fei looked at Carlos with a smile, it seemed that these guys didn't know whether luck was good or bad, and they found a place that they couldn't wait for.
Wen Fei randomly selected a few industrial products, and after paying the money, he smiled at Carlos as if he didn't care: "If you encounter some trouble in the future, I mean you can't solve this trouble." It's some incredible trouble, you can go to me!" (to be continued......)
