Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 291 Hot Springs
For being invited to participate in such an event, Liang En and Fan Meng feel completely different from those two believers, because although they have lived abroad since childhood, they have always been influenced by Chinese culture.

Therefore, unlike those banana people, both Liang En and Fan Meng are culturally closer to Chinese people, and all of this also includes their views on religion.

In their view, the religious ceremony of the aborigines in North America is actually not much different from the behavior of the Chinese worshiping their ancestors and praying to a big tree or boulder, so it is naturally impossible to have any resentment.

In fact, yesterday, Mrs. Nell specifically asked Liang En if he would like to offer milk and flowers to their ancestors and totems in this ceremony, and Liang En agreed.

At least in his opinion, since this group of aborigines are willing to accept him and have given him so many benefits, it is also appropriate to politely offer a sacrifice to the guardian spirit of the other tribe.

It's like an ordinary Chinese person who chooses to go to the local Town God's Temple to offer a stick of incense to the Town God and ask the Town God to bless him if he goes to another place.

And when Liang En expressed his agreement to this process, he also found that Mrs. Nell's attitude towards him suddenly became much closer, which was obviously related to Liang En's decision.

Because of sacrifices, when he walked to the entrance of the valley, Liang En took a mineral water bottle-sized pot full of milk and a bottle with a bouquet of flowers in it from a young man. water.

Of course, such a small amount of things would not bother Liang En, whose body had been strengthened repeatedly. On the contrary, it was much easier because the things he brought this time were much less than those in the previous adventures.

As they gradually approached the cave, the sound of playing flutes and drums gradually came in the wind. After turning around a stone following the sound of the music, they saw the place where today's ceremony was held.

The place where the ceremony was held was in the open space below the cave, but unlike the simple open space a few days ago, some tables and chairs were placed in the open space today, and a small wooden plank was built right below the cave next to the stone wall. table.

Judging from the totem pole erected on the platform, this platform should be the main place for the ceremony, and several people are busy placing some things on it now.

More than half an hour later, the ceremony officially began. Several elders raised their pipes and smoked. In the faint smoke, Mrs. Nell and two or three other wizards in full suits were clapping With the tambourine in his hand, he danced the ancient sacrificial dance.

After dancing for a while, the four wizards took the paint from a table to smear on their hands, then trotted towards the four directions of the basin, east, west, north, south, and printed the paint on the stone wall .

According to these aborigines.Earth is north and is blue; fire is east and is red; wind is south and is black; water is west and is yellow.

Therefore, the color of the handprints of each of these wizards also followed this tradition, and they pressed four handprints according to the pre-determined locations to form a cross.

Of course, this approach has nothing to do with Christianity, but mainly because of the worship of the image of "ten" and the number of "four" that gradually derived from this worship of the four directions.

As the ceremony progressed, the ceremony soon proceeded to the last item, that is, every person who was allowed to offer sacrifices to the totems representing the guardian spirits, and then pressed his hands on the stone wall under the cave entrance and said prayers.

As a recognized distinguished guest, Liang En held the ceremony in the middle. After placing flowers under the totem pole and spreading the milk in the painted wooden jug around the totem, Liang En Pressing the stone wall with both hands, he began to mutter.

Although English is now spoken by the entire Native American tribe in North America, this kind of prayer still needs to be done in the tribe's own language.

Fortunately, when praying, you only need to repeat "May the spirits in nature and the sacred otters bless the Holy Land to come back to life." This simple sentence can be repeated repeatedly, so Liang En will not lose the chain after the two days of assault training .

Because this process takes 3 minutes, when Liang En put his hands on it, he subconsciously activated [Rock Control (SR)] and began to observe the situation inside the mountain.

"It seems that although this mountain looks very ordinary on the outside, the internal situation is quite complicated." Soon, Liang En discovered that the mountain was not a single piece as it looked on the outside, but filled with many passages and spaces. .

This situation is also expected. After all, this area and Yellowstone National Park are in the same volcanic earthquake zone, so it is not surprising that there are traces of volcanoes inside the mountain.

"Huh—" Just when Liang En looked curiously at the ant nest-like structure inside the mountain, he suddenly found that there was a blockage at the limit of his detection range, that is, the place nearly 20 meters below the pool in the cave. trace.

This blockage trace is obviously caused by the movement of different plates inside the mountain: a stone structure with an area of ​​five or six square meters and a thickness of half a meter has slid along the inclined lower layer for a distance of less than 1m.As a result, the channel just below the center of the pool was blocked.

"If I open an eye on this rock—" Since the skill [Rock Control (SR)] hadn't been warmed up yet, Liang En's hands immediately itched after seeing this situation.

Anyway, the situation in this place is extremely bad, no matter how bad it is, it can't be too bad. Besides, if you do something in the mountain, even if you do something, others are unlikely to find out.

So after quickly filling up all the legend points, Liang En immediately consumed 17 destiny points to deform the rock and nearby stones into a solid stone passage.

After doing all this, Liang En still closed his eyes and continued to look at the structure inside the mountain, but when the prayer was about to end, he did not hear the whistle representing the end, but heard a sound of exclamation.

"Water, water——" Liang En heard the most yelled word by those people, and when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find water flowing out of the cave.

As the person closest to the cave, Liang En found that the water was not ordinary water. Although it was muddy because it was mixed with mud, he could feel the temperature in the water.

"It's actually a hot spring!" Liang En exclaimed in a low voice after wiping off the mud splashed on his body. The reason why there are not many trees in the place.

Because the temperature of the hot spring and the minerals in it can indeed cure many diseases, but in turn, these temperatures and minerals are not conducive to the growth of many plants, so it makes the surroundings look bare.

"The appearance of the ancestors is also a gift from the spirit of nature." Mrs. Neil stepped onto the stage and said loudly at this time. "I declare that Mr. Liang is a person loved by our ancestors, so he will also be our honorary elder."
