"What is that place?" Why does it look so much like a big piece of crystal?! " After Thirteenth Elder entered the thatched cottage for a long time, there were still no movements from before. The two of them circled around the thatched cottage, and before long, Sima Yilan saw a crystal-like hole, which he couldn't help but point at, and praise towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked over there and chuckled: "That should be the crystal pond of the legendary Maya people! These potholes have an extraordinary significance to the people of Maya. Not only do they provide them with water sources, they also provide them a place to bathe.

Before coming here, Lin Bai had already found a large amount of information from the people of Maya from Counsellor Hu. He knew that this "crystal pond" was actually a crater made by the long-term rain that corroded the limestone. Because the rain was filtered through sponge-like limestone, the water was clear and transparent, as if it were made of crystal.

Furthermore, the crystal pond was the residence of the Rain God, just like the Dragon Palace in the legends of China. Other than their practical purposes, the people of the Maya still relied on them as sacrifices to beg for rain. The people of Maya believed that the rain was the result of the Rain Deity's visit. Only when they offered a "gift" to the Rain Deity, would the Rain Deity come.

"According to the legends, for the sake of the Rain of Rain, they would throw gold, silver, and jewelry into the crypt. They would even choose beautiful virgins to throw into the water in order to please the Rain God. That's why it's best for you to prepare mentally. Be careful or else the Thirteenth Elder will throw you down! " Lin Bai teased Sima Yilan who was playing with the crystal clear water droplets on the side of the crystal pond.

Sima Yilan was startled upon hearing this and was about to reply, but at this moment, the voice of the Thirteenth Elder came from behind him: "Lin Xiaoyou is joking, these are just rumors spread by outsiders, we even treasure the lives of plants, how can we let the young ladies of our clan sacrifice the Rain God? If we do that, it would be more accurate to call it blasphemy towards Lord Rain God!"

"That's the truth. If outsiders were to witness the beauty of the Thirteenth Elder, they would probably scoff at those rumours!" Lin Bai nodded with a light smile, then turned to Thirteenth Elder and asked: "I wonder what Great Elder has to say about this?"

"Two of you, kill the Great Witch Tang Wang of the voodoo, and then return the crystal skull to him. We, the remnants of the Maya, are extremely grateful for this kindness. Therefore, the Great Clan Elder wishes to invite the two of you to come into the cottage. Thirteenth Elder tilted his body and made a gesture of invitation as he smiled at Lin Bai and Sima Yilan.

When Lin Bai and Sima Yilan heard this, they looked at each other and laughed, then quickly walked towards the thatched cottage. To the two of them, no one was left in the Blood Land or the Cursed Land. Right now, they were like a boulder weighing down on their hearts. Only by answering this question would they be able to calm down.

The room was dimly lit, and in the middle of the dark room was a flat straw. As for the Great Clan Elder from the Thirteenth Elder, he was sitting cross-legged on the straw. Because of the light, he was unable to see the old man's face.

"Grand Elder, I've brought the two esteemed guests!" After Thirteenth Elder entered the room, he knelt in front of the old man and said respectfully.

The Great Elder waved his hand and said softly, "Help me light the lamps in my room, then go out and greet the clansmen. Let them prepare a bonfire dinner to welcome the two distinguished guests!"

Thirteenth Elder stood up when he heard this and walked to a corner of the room. He took out a flint from the table and wiped it twice before lighting up an oil lamp and bringing it in front of Great Elder.

When the light appeared, Lin Bai and Sima Yilan gasped. If Thirteenth Elder was as skinny as a bamboo stick, then the Great Clan Elder was as skinny as a skeleton. His entire body was covered in flesh that stuck to his bones, and if it were not for his words and the sudden meeting, the two of them would have thought that the person sitting in front of them was just a dried up corpse.

His hair was sparse, and his body was covered with tattoos like the Thirteenth Elder. However, the tattoos in the Thirteenth Elder were birds, beasts, and various creatures in the forest. The tattoos on the Great Clan Elder's body were stars in the sky. He didn't know what kind of pain he should have to endure in the beginning if he were to draw this tattoo on his body.

"First Elder, may I trouble you to tell the two of us about the matter of the no man's land. This matter involves a lot of things, so I hope that you do not hide anything from us." Lin Bai bowed to the Great Clan Elder respectfully and said.

Hearing that, the Great Clan Elder opened his eyes wide, smiling face to face at Lin Bai and Sima Yilan. Although he was old, the Great Clan Elder's eyes were shining brightly, if one were to look at his eyes, he would probably be even brighter than those young people, "This young lady, your surname is Sima, right?"

"That's right. Senior, how did you know?" Hearing that, Sima Yilan was startled, he raised his head and looked at the Great Clan Elder in shock. Could it be that this old man was like the Chinese Master, who had mastered a secret technique and was able to guess his surname from just his appearance?

Hearing that, the Great Clan Elder smiled and said gently, "Nine Palace Water Mirror s are the inherited treasures of your Sima Family. Even though this old man has never seen you before, I know who you are, so I presumptuously presume that you are a descendant of the Sima Family. I wonder who Sima Qingfeng is to you? "

"Sima Qingfeng is the descendant of a junior. Senior, have you met my grandfather and the elder before?" Hearing this, Sima Yilan became even more apprehensive. From the Great Clan Elder's tone, it was obvious that the relationship between him and Sima Qingfeng was very deep.

He came here a few decades ago and coincidentally met me, so he stayed in this village for a period of time. I don't know how my friend Qingfeng is now, and after so many years, I never thought that he would actually have a granddaughter.

"My ancestor was hurt by a snack a month ago, and is already dead." When Sima Yilan heard this, his heart ached, and he once again thought of the Water Mirror Village's tragedy. Tears uncontrollably flowed out of the corners of his eyes, as he replied in a trembling voice.

After he was silent for a long time, he reached out his skinny hand and patted Sima Yilan's shoulder, and said softly, "The deceased is already dead, do not be too sad. If your body is broken, then old friend Qingfeng won't feel well either."

"First Elder, please tell me about the matter of the no-man's land. This matter is not only related to the revenge for our ancestor, but also has a huge bearing on the American continent. If we do not seal this Nine Palace Water Mirror, when those small arrays in Europe are completed, Europe and the United States will definitely start a war!" Sima Yilan wiped the tears off his face and said solemnly.

The First Elder slowly stood up and looked into the distance. He sighed and slowly said, "In the past, old friend Qingfeng came for the matter of luck in Hua Xia. Now that you have also come for the matter of luck, it seems like this is also a cycle of the Heavenly Dao. However, old friend Qingfeng still returned resentfully in the end. I wonder how your luck is. "

"Senior, is there something strange about that place?" Sima Yilan raised his head and looked at the old man as he asked respectfully.

The grand elder nodded. "Actually, the so-called uninhabited land is this rainforest, while the bloody land is our village. You've already found these two places, but the Cursed Land …"

"What's wrong with the cursed land?" Sima Yilan looked up at the Great Clan Elder and shouted anxiously. From the moment she entered the village, she had sensed that the Nine Palace Water Mirror was acting strangely, but she had thought that it was due to the mystical Qi in the rainforest.

The Great Clan Elder heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The Cursed Land is a forbidden area of the remnants of our Maya, it is full of danger. Back then, old friend Qing Feng tried many different methods, but in the end, he could not find a way.

"Senior, please explain to me exactly what my ancestor did here and the dangers of the cursed land." When Sima Yilan heard the old man talk about Sima Qingfeng again, suspicion filled his heart, and he hurriedly asked.

The Great Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly. Things have been going on for decades. "

As he spoke, the Great Elder revealed a look of nostalgia, as if he was reminiscing about his old friend. 's grandfather, Sima Qingfeng, wanted to change this situation. He wanted to borrow the strength of the Nine Palace Water Mirror to condense the destiny of China, stop the flames of war, and let the people of China live and work in peace.

However, after investigating the records of the water mirror technique, Sima Qingfeng came to the conclusion that the Nine Palace Water Mirror could only be effective in the sealed grounds, and went on a long journey to South America, where he charged into the Amazon Rainforest alone. Although Sima Qingfeng's phase spell was astonishing, it was extremely dangerous in the rain forest. In the end, under the encirclement of a herd of ferocious beasts, he was severely injured and his life was at stake.

At that time, the Great Clan Elder lead his clan members to hunt around the border and met the heavily injured Sima Qingfeng, bringing him back to the tribe to recuperate. During the recovery period, Sima Qingfeng and the Great Clan Elder had become best friends. The two of them had even taught each other languages and discussed the Chinese phase technique and Maya techniques. But after Sima Qingfeng's injuries were healed, he was shocked to realize that this village was the Sima Family's legendary bloody grounds!

After hearing the whole story from Sima Qingfeng, the Great Clan Elder decided to help them. However, he did not expect the two of them to enter the cursed grounds recorded in the records of the remnants of the Maya, and an accident occurred!
