Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In the next few days, Xiang Nan did not rush to search for treasure, but stayed in Royal Port to study the curse of Quetzalcoatl, the trident of Poseidon, and several strange objects he collected.

After his research, he found that his gains were actually much better than he originally thought.

For example, the wine pot that can turn fine wine into water is not useless.

After his experiments, he found that the function of this wine pot is not just to turn fine wine into white water, but it can purify liquids. Whether it is dirty water or poison, after pouring it into it, it will be purified into pure water.

This is its most powerful place.

You must know that water also has a shelf life, especially when the water at that time was stored in wooden barrels. After a long time, the water will rot and deteriorate, and a layer of algae will grow, and people will get sick once they drink it.

So the ship needs to dock every few days to replenish fresh water, and also store a batch of strong liquor. Because the wine contains alcohol, it has a certain bactericidal effect, so the storage time is longer than fresh water.

Therefore, most sailors have the problem of alcoholism, because not drinking at sea may mean dying of thirst.

However, this wine pot can purify seawater into fresh water. Although the conversion takes time and the output is limited, it is enough to meet the drinking water needs of several people.

Therefore, this wine pot is not only not useless, but also a sacred artifact for sailors. It's just that the sailor didn't know the value and sold it for one gold coin.

...

Another strange object, the monkey skull, surprised Xiang Nan.

The reason why he bought the skull was because he felt a trace of sacred breath on it.

Later, after his experiment, it was as he expected.

It turned out that this monkey skull was a sacred object stolen from the tribe by the strange man, that is, the 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 originally going to be executed by his own tribe, so he stole the sacred object of the tribe, that is, the monkey skull, and escaped from the tribe.

As a result, he was caught by the slave capture team and sold to a plantation in the Caribbean. Later, he managed to escape from the plantation and finally came to Tetuga Island.

The reason why he could command monkeys to perform acrobatics, pick coconuts, and steal things was because of the monkey skull.

Their tribe has believed in the monkey god Chak Baba since ancient times, and this skull is the remains of the monkey god Chak Baba, similar to the relics left after Sakyamuni's Nirvana.

Therefore, this skull is the bone of "God". If you drip blood on its head, you can get in touch with the monkey god Chak Baba and enter the "God Kingdom" of the monkey god Chak Baba, which is the endless banana plantation.

...

"This is the real treasure." Xiang Nan looked at the monkey skull and said.

He thought the skull was extremely valuable at the time, but he didn't expect it to be as he expected.

Although this Chak Baba is just a "monkey god" and doesn't seem to have much divine power, he is still a god. And this skull is the "god bone", of course, it is more valuable.

"I wonder if I can enter Chak Baba's kingdom?" Xiang Nan guessed, "Will there be any danger?"

Then he did a divination for himself, and there was no sign of danger. On the contrary, it showed that he would have unexpected gains on this trip.

Knowing this, Xiang Nan bravely cut his hand and dripped a drop of blood on the monkey god's skull. A moment later, his mind was in a trance, as if he had left his body and came to a ruin.

This ruin is not big, and you can see the end at a glance. There are withered banana trees everywhere in the ruins. Not to mention ripe and sweet bananas, there is not even a little green.

"Is this the kingdom of the monkey god Chak Baba? How could it become like this?" Xiang Nan was puzzled, and then walked towards the center of the ruins.

A moment later, 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 have withered and charred, and only this tree is barely still a little green. But it is estimated that it will be completely dead in a short time.

At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly heard a faint rustling sound coming from the top of the tree.

He immediately climbed up the banana tree with his hands and feet, and saw that there was a nest made of banana leaves at the top of the banana tree. And in the nest lay a thin, dry, and old monkey.

The monkey was too thin, with less than two taels of meat on his body. The fur was attached to the bones, and the fur looked dry and without a trace of light.

And the wrinkles on his face were piled up, more than those of a centenarian, and he looked even older. It was estimated that he would die soon.

"This... this... this... this is..." Xiang Nan was shocked.

At this time, the monkey was also surprised to see him, and then a consciousness came, it turned out that he was the monkey god Chak Baba.

"You are a dignified monkey god, how could you become like this?" Xiang Nan said unexpectedly.

When the monkey god heard it, his face was a little sad.

It turns out that gods like him need the offerings of believers to gain divine power, and use the divine power to feed back to believers, thereby attracting more believers to offer.

However, the tribes that believed in him before have not offered him offerings for a long time, and his divine power has gradually disappeared. And with the disappearance of divine power, his kingdom of God has gradually shrunk and withered. In the end, even he, the monkey god, will perish.

"I see." Xiang Nan nodded.

He knew that voodoo was popular in Africa, and voodoo believed that everything had spirits, so they created many gods, collectively called "Loa Gods" (the Loa Gods believed by the trolls in World of Warcraft originated from the real voodoo).

There were thousands of Loa Gods, and the worship of each tribe, village, and even family was different. Some Loa Gods were collectively believed in, but some were only believed in by certain villages and certain professions.

This was a bit like the eight million gods in Japan. A mountain, a tree, a grass, a stone, and even a mountain could be worshiped as a god.

The power of the Loa God was related to the number of believers. The powerful Loa God had extraordinary power and protected one side. The weak Loa God did not even have the ability to protect himself.

Once all believers were lost, there was only the fate of extinction.

Xiang Nan guessed that the monkey god Chakbaba was a weak Loa God. The tribes that believed in it were probably captured by the slave capture team and died. No one worshipped him or sacrificed him, so he, the Loa God, became so weak.

It was like the sun was setting, and he was dying.

"Young man, I hope you can help me." The monkey god Chak Baba said to Xiang Nan.

"Help you? How can I help you?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion.

"Be my priest, recruit believers for me, and promote my faith, and I will bless you." Chak Baba explained.
