Big Islander 2

Chapter 428

"Inca, Inca!" A group of indigenous people sang and danced around the pile of firewood, shouting neatly from time to time; and on the fire, there was Ms. Sophie, her hands and feet were firmly tied , Even the glasses did not know where they fell.

But after hearing the cries of these natives, Sophie was ecstatic: the so-called Inca means a leader or a king, so when the Spanish colonists came to South America, they used this name to refer to the Inca Empire and its residents.The Inca Empire is located in the narrow strip of the Andes Mountains. It used to have a splendid civilization, but it was eventually overthrown by the colonists.Unexpectedly, their descendants still live in the Amazon rainforest.Could it be that they migrated all the way here after the war?

If this news is announced, it will definitely shock the world, that's why Sophie looks very excited.She once obsessively studied the "writing" of the Inca Empire, which was a very primitive knotting record, called Khipu - "Chipu".Just because there is too little data, there are no research results.

But if this tribe is really a descendant of the Inca Empire, then they should continue to use Khipu's notes. If they can communicate with them, they will definitely be able to solve the mystery of Kipu.

Ms. Sophie was so immersed in the joy of the discovery that she completely forgot that she was about to be roasted on the fire, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to communicate with the natives.

Amidst the cheers of the natives, I saw a little golden man coming out of a thatched hut. He was covered with golden ornaments all over his body, and the crown made of gold was exquisite in workmanship; Silk, dotted with brightly colored feathers, looks brilliant.Holding a tall scepter in his hand, he was obviously still a teenager, and the scepter seemed a little heavy to him.

With the appearance of the boy, the atmosphere on the field became more enthusiastic, and people's shouts became more orderly and louder. They were using this method to express their respect for the king.

Behind the young Inca king was a high priest. Although the tribe has developed to this day and there are only a few hundred people left, the traditions in the tribe have not been discarded. This is still a miniature kingdom of slavery. Priests have supreme power.

The high priest also wore a golden robe. He led people to pray to the great sun god. The ancient Inca country worshiped the sun, and their supreme ruler, the king, was the son of the sun.

Since the ancestors were forced to relocate from the rich Andes to the dangerous tropical rainforest, another creed has been added to the kingdom: that is, all foreign intruders will be punished by burning.To use the words spread in the tribe, it is to let the sun-like flames burn the sins.

In their view, all outsiders are the source of evil. Although this kind of cognition is a bit extreme, it is summed up after experiencing blood lessons.Hundreds of years ago, when European colonists broke into this fertile land, it was under the guise of peace and friendship, but in the end, money was their naked pursuit!

So, poor Ms. Sophie, became the first victim of this creed - because before that, no outsider could come to this remnant of the former empire.

This generation of Son of the Sun Kapak III felt that the scepter in his hands was getting heavier and heavier, just like his mood at the moment.Looking at the fanatical subjects, the young man couldn't bear it: Why must a living person be burned to death?
A boy is a boy, and the kindness in human nature still occupies a dominant position in his mind; although it has been passed down from generation to generation, and he also knows the crimes committed by those outsiders back then, he still does not want to see such a cruel scene appear. before his eyes.

"High priest, can you forgive the sin of this outsider?" The Inca king finally couldn't help but pleaded with the priest.Because he is not yet an adult, the high priest, who is already aloof, has even more rights.

"Inca, outsiders are the source of our suffering." Although the high priest respected Capac III, his attitude was very firm.As the high priest in charge of the kingdom's historical inheritance, the sufferings in the past are really unforgettable.

With a clang, the scepter in Kapac III's hand finally lost control and fell to the ground.A trace of helplessness flashed across his immature face, and then he walked towards his own palace - the thatched cottage that was slightly more gorgeous than the surrounding thatched cottages.Once upon a time, his ancestors created the great golden country and even built the legendary golden city, but his descendants could only live in extremely simple huts. The former glory of the Inca Empire can really be reproduced ?

In deep thought, the young man walked into his palace. To his great surprise, there was someone extra in the room. It was a young girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, who was about the same age as him. At this moment, she was looking at him with a smile, those big eyes were extraordinarily bright, and it reassured him extraordinarily.

From the dress of this little girl, King Capac III could tell at a glance that she did not belong to this tribe, and was obviously an outsider.So, Kapac turned from shock to panic, he rushed to Xiao Xiami in a few steps, pulled her white lotus root-like arm, trying to find a place to hide her.But in the hut, there are only a few simple furnishings, where is there a place for Tibetans?
Xiao Xiami followed all the way here. Although she could not understand the other party's language, she still faintly felt that this place might be related to the former Inca Empire. She did not attack rashly to rescue Sophie, because no matter how powerful The force of force cannot conquer the hatred in the heart.

Therefore, she directly touched the thatched hut where the Inca king lived, and wanted to start with this young man to fundamentally solve the crux of the problem.

Although the two sides could not communicate, Xiao Xiami still tried to use simple gestures for a while. Kapac III's comprehension was good, and he basically understood what the little girl meant.So, his face was full of shock: Can it really be done?

Outside the hut, the high priest's ceremony was coming to an end.He also seemed extremely excited today, because in the past, some animals were used as sacrifices to sacrifice the sun god in some festivals.Although in the oral history, when the kingdom was strong and prosperous, it used to use up to three hundred living people as sacrifices at a time when it encountered a major disaster or a very happy day.

Thinking about that scene, the high priest was fascinated leisurely.So he excitedly raised the torch and handed it to the warrior in the tiger skin skirt, let the sun's fire purify all sins!

"Stop!" A slightly immature cry sounded, and the young Inca king appeared again. People were horrified to find that there was another outsider standing beside him, and it was an underage girl.

The high priest couldn't help frowning: their king was too immature to be fooled by outsiders so quickly.So he walked a few steps towards Capac III and bowed to salute: "Inca, please don't forget the teachings our ancestors left us."

Kapac III glanced at Xiao Xiami, and seeing her smile like a spring breeze, his whole body and mind felt warm immediately, as if bathed in sunshine.The young man's confidence increased greatly: "It was the Sun God who guided them here, so they are not enemies, but friends."

The clansmen were at a loss for a while. Obviously, the high priest and the Inca king were fighting against each other. One of them was the high priest who could communicate directly with the sun god and was the most respected person in the kingdom. The other was the son of the sun. Incomparably noble.

However, the age of the Inca king still became his biggest disadvantage. Therefore, the tribe gradually began to lean towards the high priest. They walked behind the high priest silently, expressing their attitude with silent words.

The high priest didn't feel proud at all, but felt extremely disappointed. He was absolutely loyal to the Son of the Sun, but he saw that the Son of the Sun was easily deceived by outsiders, which really made him very sad. At the same time, he also felt that, There is still a long way to go to teach the Inca king.

Although the outsider standing next to the Inca king is not yet an adult, he must also be purified by the fire of the sun.So the high priest waved his hand, and the warrior in the tiger skin skirt took a big step towards Xiao Xiami.

Kapac III also became nervous: "Are you going to resist the will of the Son of the Sun?"

These words sounded more guilty than majestic, but the high priest still replied very humbly: "After the Son of the Sun holds the coming-of-age ceremony, no one will dare to resist your will again." The subtext of this sentence is obvious Of course Kapac could understand, so he had no choice but to cast a helpless look at Xiao Xiami.

However, Xiao Xiami didn't panic in the slightest, with two big dimples still showing on his face, and he handed over a round object in his hand with a smile on his face.

Kapak fiddled with the thin thing in his hand suspiciously, and was surprised to find that a beam of bright light was emitted from the surface, even brighter than the sun's rays.Coincidentally, the beam of light just hit the face of the warrior in the tiger skin skirt running towards this side. He only felt that the light in front of him was so bright that his eyes were blurred, and tears almost flowed out. After the irradiation, the eyes became pitch black again, and the tiger skin skirt warrior subconsciously covered his eyes, squatted on the ground, and let out a scream, he thought he was blind.

In fact, what Xiao Xiami gave to Kapac III was just a small mirror.But now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good. Those natives followed the moving beam of light with fear and trepidation, and they regarded it as the incarnation of the sun god.

Anyone who was accidentally photographed screamed and fell to the ground, as if they had been shot heavily.In fact, nothing happened, just a psychological effect, a huge fear in their hearts, which made them hallucinate.

Behind a few big trees not far away, Tang Jide and his party were lurking, and they were all stunned by this scene: an ordinary mirror can make these natives surrender, isn't this a joke?
Tang Jide scratched the back of his head for a long time: "If I turned on a flashlight at night, I guess they would directly worship it as the sun god—"

The pheasant also quacked a few times: "If your father was here, he would definitely be better than you. His big bald head is too bright, he is like a little sun!"

However, the matter is not over yet. After all, the high priest is the most knowledgeable person in the tribe, only he remains calm: "This is the same as the reflection on the gold jewelry. It is a trick used by outsiders to deceive the Son of the Sun. We must not be fooled." !"

As if he heard the call of the high priest, the warrior in the tiger skin skirt stood up unsteadily, rubbed his eyes vigorously, but nothing happened, so he roared angrily, and rushed towards Xiao Xiami again——
