Chapter 238

When the old man Batu was talking to Zuli, Leo and Bucky were also whispering.

"That Zuli stayed in the United States for ten years, and said that the king killed someone..." Bucky guessed, "Then he is the Uncle James that little Eric said about?"

"Yes, that's right." Leo nodded. He had already recognized Zuli's face, but he didn't expect to meet him here!

Moreover, Li Ao sighed, it turned out that Zuli's father was the high priest of the sanctuary, no wonder he later became the high priest of Wakanda, it turned out that the son inherited his father's business, and the family business!

At this time, seeing the old man casually picked a heart-shaped herb and handed it to Zuli, Bucky suddenly said in surprise:
"Damn it, the old man wants to let his son take herbal medicine?! Didn't the book say that only the king is allowed to take herbal medicine? Sure enough, history books are all lies."

"Don't be surprised." Leo yelled at Bucky, "Wait patiently."

Leo didn't believe that Batu would pick off the herbal medicine for his son to eat, because if so, Wakanda would have been messed up.

Sure enough, the old man handed the heart-shaped herb to Zuli's mouth, and said softly:
"Smell, what does it smell like?"

Zuli sniffed and said, "There is a sweet smell."

"This heart-shaped herb only blooms once a year and bears fruit once. Once the fruit has a sweet smell, like this one, it means it has matured."

The old man began to speak slowly, educating his son about becoming a priest,
"Mature heart-shaped herbs are the most effective when they are strong, but they will be reversed. After about seven days, their medicinal effects will quickly fade and lose their effect. Mature herbs will also begin to fall off and rot, and become nutrients to nourish herbal plants again. itself."

Hearing what the old man said, Bucky suddenly opened a gap in the winter helmet, quickly moved his nose twice, put the helmet back on, and whispered to Leo:

"The fruit under our feet also has a sweet smell and is about to ripen."

"Don't interrupt, just listen patiently." Leo patted Bucky.

The old man's teaching continues,
"This sanctuary is built underground, without seeing the sun, and the internal temperature is basically the same throughout the year, so the growth of the heart-shaped herb does not depend on sunlight, but on vibration gold veins.

Therefore, its flowering and fruiting period is naturally not divided according to the seasons like ordinary plants, but the flowering and fruiting period of each heart-shaped herb is different.

In this sanctuary, there are currently 730 two heart-shaped herb plants surviving. According to theory, 730 two heart-shaped herb fruits mature every year, and on average, two fruits will ripen every day.

But the king will have a new king every three to fifty years, or even 50 years, so other ripe fruits will be disposed of.

The main duty of our sanctuary priests is to take care of the herbs in this sanctuary, dispose of the ripe heart-shaped herbs in time, grind them up, inject them into the soil, and use them as nutrition for the herb plants.

Of course, the annual large and small celebrations and ceremonies in Wakanda also need the help of the priests of our sanctuary to organize them.

From today, you will follow me to learn the rules of the high priest, and strive to become a qualified high priest within two years and take over my position. "

Zuli listened patiently to his father, and nodded seriously.

The old man smiled, and ignored the soil, found a place in the flower garden to sit down, took out a palm-sized stone mortar from his arms, put the heart-shaped herbs in his hand, smashed them into juice, and carefully Poured to the root of this herb.

After finishing all this, the old man put the mortar back into his bosom, and began to teach his son again:

"The first rule of the High Priestess of the Black Panther Temple is that you must never take the heart-shaped herb without authorization. This is a sacred object bestowed by the goddess to Wakanda. Only the king of Wakanda can decide who can take the herb. This is Wakanda. A convention shared by the five tribes of Kanda.

Anyone who uses it without authorization will be wanted by the five tribes and will be shot to death. "

Zuli nodded, but his curiosity was aroused, and he asked:
"Historically, are there any examples of Wakanda people taking heart-shaped herbs without authorization?"

"Yes, and more than one case, but these are not written in history books, only some ancient books have records." The old man said.

Zu Li obviously didn't expect it to happen, he was taken aback for a moment, and said with emotion:
"Those who secretly took the heart-shaped herb also possessed the power of the panther, and then took the vibrating gold weapon. When the Wakanda people encircled him, many soldiers would definitely die. It would be a disaster!"

The old man suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That's not true. The king alone can easily deal with the traitor who secretly devoured the herbs."

"Why? The king took the same heart-shaped herb, so why can he easily get rid of people who also stole the herb?" Zuli was puzzled.

The old man explained: "Although herbal medicine is miraculous, it can increase the strength and perception of the user, but different ways of taking it will produce different amplification effects."

"The more you eat, the greater the increase!?" Zuli suddenly realized.

"Do you think you are a frontier tribe feeding rhinos?" The old man glared, "Eating one herbal medicine or taking multiple herbal medicines will have the same boosting effect."

Zuli immediately laughed, knowing that he had guessed wrong.

The old man continued,
"The precautions for taking herbal medicine are also the basic knowledge that priests of the sanctuary should master, so let me tell you now.

Heart-shaped herbal medicine, add water and mash it into juice to swallow, the effect of increasing is better than picking it off and chewing it directly.

And if the sand at the entrance of the sanctuary can be used to bury it underground, the effect can be increased.

If it is combined with special prayers and actions to pray for the blessing of the Black Panther Goddess, once it is approved by the Goddess, the enhancement effect can even be doubled.

Therefore, the king’s process of taking heart-shaped herbs is the most complete and formal, and the enhancement effect obtained is naturally the strongest, and it is naturally easy to eliminate the traitor alone.”

"Could it be that after taking the herbal medicine, the strengthening of strength and perception doesn't just come from the energy contained in the heart-shaped herb itself?" Zuli was surprised. "Is there really a black panther goddess?!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man began to yell again,
"You have been in the United States for too long, and even dare to doubt the goddess of the panther. Without the goddess, there would be no Wakanda!

Therefore, the goddess must not be criticized. "

"Oh!" Zuli said with a blank expression when he saw that his father was angry again.

"It's okay to criticize in your heart!" The old man started to stare again.

Zuli nodded hastily, and made promises again and again, and the old man Batu's expression eased.

At this time, Batu raised his hand and glanced at Kimoyuju on his wrist, and said:
"It's getting late, let's go have lunch together, and then return to the sanctuary to continue working. At that time, you and I will go to the classics room and learn the prayers that the high priest should master."

Zuli had already made a decision in his mind, so naturally he had no opinion, so the two left along the steps.

"Is this heart-shaped herb really chewable? And it's more effective to drink it with water!?" Bucky waited for the two to walk a little farther away, and said impatiently.

"It's better to bury it underground. Of course, with the blessing of the Black Panther Goddess, you can go straight to the sky!" Leo added.

Bucky was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "Do you really believe the last two sentences?"

"Why don't you believe it? The heart-shaped herbs are from Wakanda. They have explored for thousands of years, and the experience they have summed up is naturally based."

Leo recalled the plot in the movie. After T'Challa and Eric ate ​​the heart-shaped herb, they were both buried in the sand pool of the sanctuary, and then both entered a special space.

And that space, it doesn't look like T'Challa or Eric imagined it out of thin air.

Therefore, burying and praying in the ground are definitely particular.
