Chapter 435 (1/2)

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.
