Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 282 The Story Behind the Pipe

"What do those people spend so much time trying to grab a pipe for?" During the explanation, Uncle Nell also sent the lost item to Liang En and the others on his mobile phone. After seeing the picture, Joan looked curious. asked.

The reason why she asked this question is also very simple, because the photo shows a yellowish-brown clay pipe with a somewhat rough shape, and there is no way to see where it is precious.

"For Native Americans, this is indeed a very precious thing." Liang En explained to Joan in a low voice. "Because Native Americans considered tobacco very sacred."

"According to their customs, the smoke produced during smoking can convey people's wishes and thoughts to the gods, so they can smoke a pipe alone, or pass it on in a community or a family."

"They believe that in such a process, they can unify their hearts and convey their thoughts to the vast universe, the creator and the mediator. For example, smoking together during negotiations is more reliable than signing documents, which is equivalent to being in front of the gods swear."

"In other words, this is a sacred object. If this is the case, it will make sense." Joan nodded, because the religious place was also supreme in the era she lived in before, so she did something for the sacred object Not surprising.

But soon Liang En realized that his guess was a bit conservative, because according to Uncle Nell, this thing is not only a pipe, but also contains a secret.

"This thing is the inheritance of our tribe's wizards, and it even hides the location of a lost holy place of our tribe." Uncle Nell said with a dejected expression. "I finally got the news and bought this thing back, but I didn't expect it to be thrown away so soon."

"My mother would bring someone to pick me up this afternoon and take those things away. I didn't expect that someone would suddenly attack me at this time."

This Uncle Nell is not only an Irish-American, but also a Native American.As a posthumous child, his father died in an accident that year, so he grew up with his mother and the Native Americans of the tribe.

Because he is a Goshuit Indian, and this group of Native Americans has a matrilineal tradition, so he will also inherit the position of his mother's tribal wizard in the future.

Although most Indian tribes have also become modernized in this era, traditional wizards and elders still have their own rights. Therefore, the status of the heir to the tribal wizard still caused some pressure on Uncle Nell.

That's why he worked hard to find out the location of the missing thing in his tribe, and tried to buy it back at the auction.

He feels that he will most likely stay in the metropolis of Las Vegas to run his own business in the future, and only return to the barren reservation in northern Nevada once or twice during the ceremony every year.

In this case, he thought that he had to do something for the tribe to prove that he was qualified to have the title of tribal wizard, and he could receive the annuity of this position with a clear conscience.

Soon, Uncle Nell finished all the details about the robbery, and then Pierce introduced Liang En and the others to Uncle Nell.

"I've heard of you." When introducing Liang En, Uncle Nell said to him while shaking hands, "I didn't expect you to come to the United States. I always thought that scholars like you would always be like you. Stay in Egypt or the Middle East."

"This is probably due to the different research projects." Liang En smiled and shook hands with him and said, "I prefer to find those memories that have been forgotten by human beings from the clues of history. As for the specific treatment, other people things."

"By the way, can I entrust you to find the location of the lost holy land?" Just after Liang En and the others finished introducing themselves, Uncle Nell who was lying on the bed suddenly asked.

"I thought about it. The other party's snatching of the pipe should not be just for the pipe itself, because such a clay pipe alone costs more than 1000 US dollars, so it should be to find the holy place behind the pipe."

The reason for making such a judgment is also very simple. After all, the other party kept asking about the whereabouts of the pipe after controlling the person, and at the same time, he did not touch other cultural relics or cash in the store during the whole process.

"I'm also very interested in finding the lost holy land." Liang En was stunned for a moment after hearing the other party's request, and then replied. "But as you said, there are at least five people on the other side, and they are armed, so in terms of security—"

Liang En felt a little surprised by this invitation. He thought that the other party would not ask for help in matters related to the tribe.But Liang En soon reacted and expressed his attitude.

Seriously, I am still very interested in searching for the sacred land of the Native American tribe, Liang En, because this is a very different existence from the existing civilization in the United States, and it is also part of the legend, which should be able to draw valuable cards .

But the previous criminal case made him feel a little worried. Although he said that he could deal with an armed group with less than ten people when I was hiding the enemy, but this time he came to hunt for treasure, so naturally he didn't want to fight with people.

"If you agree, safety is definitely not a problem." After hearing Liang En's ambiguous words, Uncle Nell immediately understood what Liang En was worried about, so he said.

"If you are willing to help find it, my mother will mobilize people to listen to your orders and provide protection for you. This is fully enough to keep you safe in the wild."

Liang En is quite convinced of this, because this group of Native Americans has lived on this land for more than 150 years, so they are much better at the local conditions than those strangers, but Liang En still hopes to have more More sure.

"We'd have to have weapons to protect ourselves if we were going to explore, but we're foreigners—"

"It's absolutely fine. I can get you a hunting permit and find you a suitable gun in one afternoon. As long as you don't bring your guns into the city, it's fine."

"Okay, let's discuss it." After the exchange with Uncle Nell, Liang En greeted him, and then several people walked out of the room together and went to a place far away from Mrs. Nell and the two Indian bodyguards to communicate. stand up.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, the only problem is that the risk is a bit high." Pierce said in a low voice. "The Goshuit Indians are of medium size overall, and they are mainly agricultural and animal husbandry."

"This group of people respects tradition, but they don't reject modern society, so what they say is quite credible, especially this Uncle Nell has communicated with my family for decades, so I know him and the people behind him The tribes are more reliable."

"The only risk is the group of armed robbers. The other party must have known something and headed towards the Holy Land. So for us, even if there is someone to protect us, it will be dangerous."

"I'm not too worried about this." Liang En said with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth. "After all, it doesn't matter whether it's me, Fan Meng or Rang Na in battle, as long as you have weapons to protect yourself, it's fine."

"Then I'm fine." Pierce said. After all, he traveled with his father in the past, and also practiced various self-defense skills. He even has no problem with shooting.

"Then let's take over this task." Liang En finally made a decision. "It can be regarded as a taste of the western style."
