Chapter 359 (1/2)
Tabu is an ancient forbidden place. People who have not been revealed by the gods cannot enter. In tubuai and bath islands, there are many stories of being punished by the gods for entering tabu without permission. Some people will catch strange diseases, some will become blind or mute, and more will become crazy.
Petru was skeptical. He is not a complete atheist, but he is not a superstitious person. If tabu is an altar set up by indigenous ancestors, why should special marks be made on these charts? He believed that the man who painted the picture was a big pirate and could not be the ancestor of the Maori people living in the southern islands. Pirates may fear the sea god, but they will never care about several indigenous small altars.
Moreover, the chart shows that these things are distributed on islands within a radius of 1000 nautical miles. The aborigines in the Pacific are seriously divided in race and belief, and it is impossible to have a unified sacrificial ceremony on such a large scale. If the Maori or other ethnic groups had unified here and left such extensive relics, New Zealand, Australia and even intelligence should be able to find corresponding clues.
Therefore, petru believes that these tabbs are probably not relics left by Maori indigenous ancestors, but left by pirates who painted pictures in those years. There may well be a secret, such as the location of a valuable sunken ship, a huge treasure, or a hidden pirate's nest.
Petru guessed that the triangle in the center of the chart was the real secret, and all the clues were on the surrounding islands with tabu.
The islands in the Pacific are hidden enough, and the existence of tabu makes the locals afraid to approach, which provides petru with the best hiding place.
He first found an uninhabited desert island with tabu near the bass islands and hid on it.
At the beginning, he only lived outside tabu. After all, there are so many rumors about tabu taboos here. He doesn't want to become crazy. However, as a pirate, the clues left by his predecessors were too tempting. Driven by curiosity, petru still walked into those messy stones.
After entering, petru soon understood why people who casually entered tabu would become crazy.
These stone piles are like a huge spiritual energy array. As soon as people come in, their consciousness will be impacted by a strong spirit. When ordinary people enter here, their self-consciousness is likely to lose control, either become crazy or become fools.
Even if he had received awakening training under the guidance of the priest, petru almost said. It took him a long time to adapt to this mental shock. Moreover, according to his observation, the spiritual power here may come from some ancient residue. These tabbs must be more powerful and terrible in a distant past than now.
He doesn't know why the stones here have spiritual power. It's like a thousand year old demon buried underground. It reminds him of a lot of things——
The mummy that was smuggled into the sea and now has sunk into the sea, the chart that was put with the mummy and now in his hand, and the spiritual strong man who escorted a cargo ship alone who is stronger than the priest
These things are connected with these mysterious taboos on the South Pacific island, outlining some vague truths of events. He knows——
