Chapter 4421 Chapter 4423 [Monkey God Chak Baba]
In the next few days, Xiang Nan did not rush to hunt for treasures. Instead, he stayed in Port Royal to study the Curse of Quetzalcoatl, the Trident of Poseidon, and several rare objects he had collected.
After his research, he discovered that what he had gained was actually much better than he originally thought.
For example, the hip flask that can turn fine wine into water is not useless.
After his experiments, he discovered that the function of this hip flask was not just to turn fine wine into white water, but that it could purify liquids. Whether it was dirty water or poison, after being poured into it, it would be purified into pure water.
This is its most powerful place.
You must know that water also has a shelf life, especially since water at that time was stored in wooden barrels. Over time, the water would become rotten and a layer of algae would grow, and people would get sick once they drank it.
Therefore, the ship needs to dock every few days to replenish fresh water and store a batch of spirits. Because wine contains alcohol, which has a certain bactericidal effect, the storage time is longer than that of fresh water.
Therefore, most sailors are addicted to alcohol, because not drinking at sea may mean dying of thirst.
This hip flask can purify seawater into fresh water. Although it takes time to convert once, and the output is limited, it is enough to meet the drinking water needs of several people.
So not only is this hip flask not useless, but it is an artifact of the voyager. It's just that the sailor didn't know the goods, so he sold it for a gold coin.
…
Another rare item, a monkey skull, surprised Xiang Nan even more.
The reason why he bought the skull in the first place was because he felt a divine aura in the skull.
And after his experiment later, it turned out to be exactly what he expected.
It turns out that this monkey skull was a sacred object stolen from his tribe by that strange man, a black man who was sold as a slave and could command monkeys to perform acrobatics, pick coconuts, and steal things.
This black man killed his companion and was about to be executed by his own tribe, so he stole the tribe's sacred object, the monkey skull, and escaped from the tribe.
As a result, he was caught by a slave team and sold to a plantation in the Caribbean. Later, he tried to escape from the plantation and finally came to Tetuga Island.
The reason why he can command monkeys to perform acrobatics, pick coconuts, and steal things is because of the contribution of this monkey skull.
Their tribe has believed in the monkey **** Chak Baba since ancient times, and this skull is the remains of the monkey **** Chak Baba, similar to the relics left behind by Sakyamuni after his nirvana.
Therefore, this skull is the bone of a "god". If you drop blood on its head, you can get in touch with the monkey **** Chak Baba and enter the "divine kingdom" of the monkey **** Chak Baba, which is the endless banana. garden.
…
"This is the real treasure." Xiang Nan looked at the monkey skull and said.
He felt that the skull was extremely valuable at that time, but he didn't expect that things would turn out as he expected.
Although this Chak Baba is just a "monkey god" and does not seem to have much divine power, he is still a god. And this skull is the "sacred bone", which is of course more valuable.
He then performed a divination for himself, and there was no sign of danger. On the contrary, it showed that there would be unexpected gains during his trip.
After learning about this, Xiang Nan boldly cut his hand and dropped a drop of blood on the monkey god's skull. After a moment, his spirit was in a trance, as if he had left his body and came to a ruins. The ruins are not big and can be seen at a glance. There are withered banana trees everywhere in the ruins. Not to mention the ripe, sweet bananas, not even a hint of green was visible.
"This is the kingdom of monkey **** Chak Baba? How could it become like this?" Xiang Nan was confused and walked towards the center of the ruins.
After a while, he came to the largest banana tree in the ruins and saw that this banana tree was much taller than the other trees.
The other trees were withered and charred, but this one was still slightly green. But the distance to complete death is probably just around the corner.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly heard a faint sound of strings coming from the top of the tree.
He immediately climbed up the banana tree using his hands and feet, and saw that there was a nest made of banana leaves at the top of the banana tree. And lying in the nest was a thin, withered, old monkey.
This monkey was so thin that there was not even a ounce of meat on his body, and his fur was stuck to his bones. Moreover, his fur looked dry and without any shine.
Moreover, there are many wrinkles on his face, more than those of a centenarian, and he looks even older. He will probably die soon.
"This... this... this... this..." Xiang Nan was shocked.
At this time, the monkey was surprised to see him, and then came a realization that he was the monkey **** Chak Baba.
"You are a majestic monkey god, how could you become like this?" Xiang Nan said unexpectedly.
When the monkey **** heard this, his face felt a little sad.
It turns out that a **** like him needs the worship of believers to gain divine power, and uses divine power to feed back to believers, thereby attracting the worship of more believers.
However, the tribes that believed in him before had not made offerings to him for a long time, and his divine power gradually disappeared. And with the disappearance of divine power, his divine kingdom gradually shrank and withered. In the end, even he, the monkey god, will perish.
"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded.
He knew that Voodoo was popular in Africa, and Voodoo believed in animism, so they created many gods, collectively called "Loa" (the Loa worshiped by trolls in World of Warcraft was derived from the real-life witches). Poison Cult).
There are thousands of Loa gods, and each tribe, each village, and even each family worships them differently. Some Loa gods are believed in collectively, but some are only believed in by certain villages and certain professions.
This is a bit like the eight million gods in Japan. A mountain, a tree, a grass, or a stone can even be worshiped as a god.
The power of Loa is related to the number of believers. The powerful Loa has extraordinary power and protects a party. And the weak God Loa doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.
Once all believers are lost, there is only the fate of death.
Xiang Nan guessed that the monkey **** Chak Baba was the weak **** Loa. The tribes that believe in it have probably been captured by the slave team and all of them are dead. There is no one to worship or sacrifice to Him anymore, so this Loa **** has become so weak.
It's like the sun is setting, the breath is dying, and life is in an instant.
"Young man, I hope you can help me." The monkey **** Chak Baba said to Xiang Nan.
"Help you?! How to help you?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"You be my priest, recruit followers for me, promote my faith, and I will bless you." Chak Baba explained.
