The Book of Appreciation

A large bonfire was lit, and a large number of livestock were slaughtered. After a while, the valley where the Havel tribe was located was filled with a strong smell of meat and wine. The carnival began directly in the morning. .

"Crazy, really crazy!"

Wu Di helplessly wiped his sweat-washed black and white face, wishing he could throw the animal fur hat with three peacock tail feathers into the fire and burn it.Your uncle, this is the big summer, under the light of the great sun god who is desperately spitting out heat, you are still letting those so-called most beautiful and pure girls, who are ugly and almost like beastmen, be sacrificed. Give me a holy crown made of animal hides!Didn't this **** kill me?

Meng Yao, who was also sweating profusely and whose face was blackened by the black smoke from the bonfire, glanced at the holy crown on Wu Di's head, and couldn't help laughing. Then, she began to complain softly again,

"It's sunburned! It's sunburned to death! It's a sin to let us, a beautiful girl with moist and smooth skin, be exposed to the sun in this kind of sun! Issue an oracle, and let us rest in the shade of a tree aside."

Wu Di glanced at the two girls who only had two eyes that were still alive, and said helplessly:

"Didn't you see it? Even the baby who is still breastfeeding is out. Do you think they will let you rest? No, find a way. If you spend a day in the sun like this, your skin will be ruined."

The military master looked at the aborigines who were eating large pieces of meat and drinking heavily in the valley, and said in a low voice:

"Why don't you let the sister-in-laws pretend to be drunk? I think, if you are drunk, you won't have to expose yourself to the sun, right?"

Half an hour later, Meng Yao and Wen Lan, who had fulfilled their wish, passed out and were carried to a nearby tent. Wu Di let out a long breath, well, as a pious Lord Chosen, he couldn't leave the line of fire easily.Damn it, it started so early, why should it end at noon?

What made him collapse was that an hour had passed at noon, and the carnival was not over yet.These guys jumped up and danced with a strange rhythm after eating for a while, and held several strange ceremonies after drinking for a while, and Wu Di and Bouvier, as the representatives of the sun god walking in the world, were naturally invited to participate every time Or watch the ceremony.As a result, in just half a day, with Wu Di's current body, he felt as if he was about to faint at any time.

Throughout the day, all Mayans maintained this rhythm.Drunk guys kept falling down, but they didn't have the luck of the second daughter in the cradle. If they were lucky and blocked the way of others, they would be carried to the side under the shade of a tree.If it is unfortunate that the place where he passed out is not in the way, then you can stay there, even if it is only one meter away from the campfire, even if his face is almost tanned by the sun, but who told you not to What's in the way?

Eating meat, drinking, dancing, offering sacrifices to gods, all men and women, old and young, with strange patterns painted on their faces and wearing various animal skins and feathers let their bellies go, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and cheering for joy.

Finally, when the sun was gradually sinking to the west and was about to fall to the top of the mountain in the distance, when there were only a few fat and strong guys left beside the pile of campfires, a rush of bells rang.

"what happened?"

In the end, he didn't hold on, and Wu Di, who had slept soundly on the back of the military division, was awakened. He saw that those lying in the shade of trees and by the bonfire were shouted, and a few people not far away In the tent, the women who were too drunk to go back to rest also ran out quickly with their children.

"Is it finally over? Damn, I knew these so-called sacred objects were so hard to earn, why should I mess with them?!"

A dozen strong youths came out from the crowd. Tuswell took a few old people, painted each of their faces with oil paint, and then walked towards Wu Di.

After Tusville and the others left, the dozen or so youths with different paints led the crowd to the depths of the valley.

"During the bright day, the power of the Sun God is endless, and he can bring strength to his devout believers. However, whenever evening falls, our gods need their believers to contribute their beliefs and help them Spend a long night. Therefore, the activities of offering sacrifices to the Sun God will be held in the evening. Lord Chosen, tomorrow when the Sun God shows his first smile, we will start from here. I hope that you can bring good luck."

Tuswell, whose face was slick and slick with food and drink, and something greasy flowed in the wrinkles as if carved by a knife, walked, and explained the upcoming sacrificial activities to Wu Di in a low voice.

He nodded a little helplessly, well, the sun god who is excitedly breathing heat on the other side of the earth needs your contribution!But, damn it, why didn't you tell me yesterday that there would be such a horrible ritual that lasted the whole day today?

He glanced at the young man who was standing on a circular earthen platform not far away and began to arrange the so-called altar, and asked softly:

"This is over, can you rest?"

Tuswell nodded with a smile,

"A devout believer has dedicated all his power to the great gods, so the next thing is to rest."

A smile finally appeared on Wu Di's face. He glanced at the second daughter who was still yawning beside him, and said in a very sticky voice:

"I believe that with the guidance of the Son of God, the Javier tribe will be like the great sun god, and its glory will envelope the entire devout Mayan tribe."

After all, the two of them smiled knowingly, everyone understands, and everything goes without saying!

There was no trace of fog in the swamp in the afternoon, but the faces of the Mayans who followed Wu Di and the others and were responsible for transporting tools and tents all showed a hint of fear on their faces.Tuswell, who followed them all the way, took a deep look at the vibrant swamp, sighed, and said in a low voice:

"I watched my two uncles wander around in the swamp for seven days before they were swallowed by a python."

Wu Di was taken aback suddenly, and suddenly had a feeling of being fooled.There is such a thing?This hateful old guy who is about to return to the embrace of the sun god, how much has he concealed?

"More than 100 years ago, the demons who ruled this land ushered in their final demise. Under the guidance of the great sun god, we tracked down a group of demons who fled with our sacred objects, and finally, at the bottom of the swamp The Edge overtook them. After a fierce battle, the demons retreated into the swamp, followed by our valiant warriors. However, they have not come out of this swamp since then."

Wu Di frowned. It seems that he guessed right at the time, the treasure of this place was really left here by those colonial rulers.

"Because of this batch of holy objects, my ancestors covered up the news. Over the next 100 years, we lost 31 people here, but our holy objects are still lost in this hateful swamp! God's Chosen My lord, this time, please."

Wu Di nodded and asked curiously:

"Can I know? Your holy relic is..."

"A crystal skull with unpredictable power, representing the endless majesty of the Mayan tribal elders! Of course, there are many things left by our ancestors. Those are the sacred objects of our Mayan civilization!"

really!Wu Di smiled wryly. It seems that it is impossible to be greedy for ink crystal skulls. Even if he is greedy for ink, he will not dare to show it to others in the future. Alas, it is really troublesome.

"Elder Tuswell, although I can walk into the swamp without getting lost, but with such a large area, where can I find those sacred objects you lost?"

Tuswell smiled, looked around,

"Master God Chosen, the children's tent has been set up, let's go in and talk."

Wu Di briefly explained a few words to the military adviser, followed Tuswell into the tent, and saw that the black and fat little Bouvier also got in, Tuswell signaled him to put down the curtain of the tent.

Glancing at the backs of several clansmen guarding the tent door, Tuswell groped around for a while and took out a map made of animal skins.

"Master God's Chosen One, you know that although those who entered the swamp can never come out, we can clearly see their every move at the edge of the swamp."

Wu Di nodded, yes, this is the strangest part of this swamp.

"Back then, my ancestors recorded the place where the swamp devoured those demons. There should be holy objects here, here, and here. You go in this time, and just focus on searching these areas. Also, God's Chosen My lord, these deep pools are the places where our warriors are buried. If all goes well, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and help me salvage their remains. In return, the Havel tribe will be yours forever friend."

Wu Di stared at the several areas circled by the red pen, and waves of waves surged in his heart.Just now when he heard Tuswell talk about a large number of people missing in the swamp, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but he never remembered what was wrong.At this moment, upon hearing the bones, he suddenly understood that last time, he only saw the baby, but he didn't see the bones, even the smallest piece of human bone!

Not to mention how many people fell into it back then, but 100 people fell into the tribe of Tusville in the past 31 years, but what about their bones?Even if they were all swallowed by the boa constrictor, there must still be some bones left, right?

Through the tent, he glanced at the vibrant swamp under the sun, where there were lovely waterfowl, beautiful flowers swaying in the wind, and clear water pools that could barely see the bottom... But, under this beautiful scenery, What exactly is hidden that can cause such a strange phenomenon? (To be continued.)
