Chapter 435

Petru carried Mrs. Larry down the steps to the bottom of the altar.

Here is about half the size of a playground, filled with boulders of different shapes, like a stone processing plant.

As soon as petru came in, there was a familiar feeling. These stones are very strange. Regardless of color, shape and texture, they are very similar to the stones in tabri on tubuai island.

In fact, he has found this above. He remembers that the indigenous people on tubuai once said that tabu is the site of the ancestral temple. Tabu means taboo and a rule. No one can break this rule and get close to this taboo.

He wants to bet that these islands in the Pacific have common ancestors and beliefs. This primitive tribe, like the indigenous people of tubuai, abides by the rules of tabu, and they will not enter the forbidden land.

If it were not for this idea, petlunin would be willing to kill a path of blood with a dagger, and would never bind himself into a desperate situation. Once guessed wrong, in this rocky pit, there is really no way from heaven to earth, and it can only become their burial place, as Mrs. Larry said.

The steps and crevices on the whole altar were covered with moss, grass and vines, but there was no grass in the space below. This is consistent with the characteristics of tabu on other islands. Both Qingmu and Cymbidium suspect that the underground of tabu contains radioactive substances.

This added some confidence to petru. The only thing that made him beat the drum in his heart was the distribution of spiritual power on the island. From the situation on other islands, tabu is the center of the mental force field, and the mental force covers tabu like an energy cover. The island is full of spiritual power, but obviously it is not centered on this altar. Moreover, if this is tabu, what about the hot spring lake that petru found on the island for the first time?

While looking for a suitable hiding place, he asked Mrs. Larry, "madam, you said you've seen savages come to the altar to pray. Do you know how they worship? Will they come here?"

Mrs. Larry said, "I don't know, because I just saw them from a distance. At that time, they worshipped in front of the altar, but I didn't see the whole process of the ceremony, and I didn't know that the altar was not a platform, but a pit."

"So with your extensive experience in archaeology, what do you think this place is for?" petru asked.

"I thought it was a place to worship gods, but now it looks more like an unfinished project," Mrs. Larry said.

"Unfinished work?" petru looked around. "Building a house? If they build such a big stone house, it's much better than their wooden houses, but they have such ability, why not build some smaller houses? Moreover, the walls of the house are too thick to open a window."

Mrs. Larry said, "dead people don't have to open windows."

Petru was startled. "You mean - this is a grave?"

At this time, he found a pile of big stones that seemed to hide. He put Mrs. Larry down and looked out to make sure that it was impossible to see the man hidden in the stone from any angle above the altar.

Mrs. Larry sat on the ground with her back against the cold stone and said: "I'm just guessing. Judging from the shape, this may be an unfinished tomb. But the population size of this primitive tribe is not enough to support such a large project unless they devote several generations, but this is contrary to the process of civilization. Such primitive tribes are still on the verge of survival crisis. Their primary task is ethnic reproduction and survival. They can't die After the nihilistic fantasy, and build this flashy large tomb. "

"Is it a tomb, as you mean?" petru was confused.

"I'm not sure. If so, it means that this race used to be much larger than it is now." Mrs. Larry stroked the dark brown stones with her hand. "Have you found that these stones are very special! I haven't seen such stones anywhere else on the island."

Petru said, "I found that there is no grass here. In fact, my friends and I have seen this kind of stone on other islands. Madam, have you ever heard of something called 'tabu'?"

"Tabu?" Mrs. Larry said the word several times, as if judging petru's pronunciation. "Do you mean the relics of the ancestors spread on some islands in the South Pacific?"

Petru nodded.

Mrs. Larry said: "I've heard that a friend of mine... Specialized in this field. He is an expert in Mayan culture. He said that these things may be related to some ancient civilizations that have disappeared, but there is no sufficient evidence. Moreover, the distribution of 'tabu' is not wide, and it is only distributed on a small part of Polynesia. Therefore, few people pay attention to these things in the archaeological community . if it weren't for my... Friend who studied the peripheral influence of Maya civilization, he wouldn't notice it all the way across the South Pacific from intelligence, let alone I wouldn't know. Do you mean to say that this is a tabu? "

"I'm not sure, but these stones are really similar to the talb stones I've seen, and all talb are barren. My friend said that maybe because these stones contain radioactive elements, talb is a taboo place in Aboriginal legends," petru said

Mrs. Larry shook her head and said, "Oh, I haven't heard of that."

Petru also did not believe that the stones were radioactive, otherwise he had lived in tabri for so long and would have had a problem.

At this time, some voices came from overhead. Petru put his index finger on his lips and motioned for Mrs. Larry to keep quiet.

He secretly climbed the crack of the stone and looked up. He saw the figures of several savages on the edge of the top of the altar. Among them was the patriarch with a scepter.

The savage patriarch stood on the top of the altar and looked down. Petru shivered. He quickly looked back, hid himself, and dared not look out again.

He and Mrs. Larry hid behind the stone and listened nervously to the news. At the beginning, we could still hear the voices of several savages, but we couldn't hear what they were talking at a distance. After a while, there was no sound.

Petru guessed that the savage had gone. He was glad he was right. This is a forbidden place. The savages won't come down. But he didn't dare to go out for the time being. Who knows if they have gone far? Maybe just squat on it and wait for the rabbit!

The shadow of boulders blocked the sun. The wind blowing from the sky swirled among the rocks and made a whimpering sound. It was also cool on people.

At this time, the two people suddenly found that everyone was naked. Petru felt a little embarrassed. Mrs. Larry also clamped her legs, put her arms around her chest and turned her face to one side.

The wind suddenly stopped, the distant savage's cry stopped, and the world suddenly fell into boundless silence. Only the sound of heartbeat is as loud as someone beating a drum. Time becomes very slow. It's like a quartz clock without electricity. The second hand can't climb up.

Petru suddenly heard a strange sound, hissing, with an unpleasant smell. A familiar sense of danger came up. He turned to see Mrs. Larry. He saw a big black snake lying on the rock on her body, leaning back on the triangular snake head and spitting red apricots.
