Before he knew it, Xiao Lu had been in Inca for three months.
I have almost learned the basic language for daily life, so at least I have no problem communicating in daily life.
However, there are still many shortcomings in deciphering the codes of those mechanisms.
Taking advantage of the night when no one would disturb him, Xiao Lu returned to Fuyuan to discuss things with Lao Lu.
"How's your study going?" Old Lu asked when he heard Little Lu coming back and opened the bathroom door.
"It's okay, I'll probably need another month or two."
"What's wrong? Are you addicted to wearing skirts?" Looking at Xiao Lu's colorful clothes, Old Lu teased him with a smile.
"How's it going? I've leveled up! Look at this golden crown and red feathers!"
"Why does it take another two months?" Old Lu didn't continue talking.
"Just yesterday, a child was playing with toys..." Xiao Lu began to talk about what happened yesterday.
The toy in the child's hand is something that looks a bit like a Kongming box. It can be considered an educational toy!
The octagonal column is composed of twelve octagonal circles, each of which can rotate freely and can be pushed or pulled according to its diameter.
Each side of these cylinders is a word, and when the correct words on all eight sides are combined, the lid of the box can be pushed open.
These boxes contain feathers, and the child who can successfully open the box will have more feathers on his crown.
Feathers are a symbol of knowledge and status, and only smart children can earn more feathers.
The more feathers one has, the more respected one will be, and the more generous rewards one will receive in the tribe.
"These words and phrases are ancient, and many of them are related to the traditional culture and beliefs of the Incas," Xiao Lu explained.
"So, you think that this knowledge of culture and beliefs, and these ancient word combinations, will be very helpful in unlocking the secret of the big fish treasure?" Old Lu seemed to understand.
"Yes! I think learning the language is not enough. You need to understand their culture and beliefs, and know those stories, to have practical significance."
"Alright! I'll give you two more months at most. You must come back the day after tomorrow night."
"Got it!" Xiao Lu said and prepared to go back. Before leaving, he thought of something else, "Let's go find some experts to consult various versions. I'll judge the correctness when I come back."
"Okay! I'll go to the Cultural Bureau in the next two days."
"Remember to leave me a gift tomorrow night? I'll leave you a note with the exact gift you want."
"knew!"
The next morning, when he saw the note, Old Lu laughed. These gifts are so simple! Are they for the kids?
A folding grill, matches, potassium permanganate, vitamin C, handmade soap, a wooden palm toothbrush... oh! And a nine-square game board!
Come to think of it! Xiao Lu's current "classmates" are all children, the oldest only eight years old! The only adult he regularly interacts with is probably the clan leader!
As for the adults, Xiao Lu didn't want to change history too much, so he exchanged diamonds for some locally bought gifts and gave them away.
As for Lao Lu, he contacted the Cultural Bureau early in the morning, saying that he wanted to consult an expert who studies the history of the ancient Inca Empire.
Among these people, several have participated in the Big Fish Treasure project, but unfortunately they all returned empty-handed.
The Cultural Bureau is very willing to help, but they also have a condition, that is, if the tourist route is developed, they hope to obtain the right to conduct free research projects in Peru.
Old Lu felt that this was not difficult for Qian Jiujin to do, so he agreed immediately!
What's more, having a research team stationed in the hotel will also be a source of income!
After two whole days and collecting six or seven versions, Lao Lu and Xiao Lu finally reunited.
Xiao Lu washed up, removed the dust, cleaned up all his clothes, and put them into a vacuum storage box.
Those are things brought back from the 15th century! When the time comes, I'll give them to Qian Jiujin to decorate his hotel. They will be very eye-catching!
Moreover, it might even become a bargaining chip in Qian Jiujin's negotiations with the Peruvian government! You know, the Peruvian government is buying back antiques left behind by the Inca Empire from all over the world, especially from Spain!
Xiao Lu quietly told Lao Lu that they left a mural of him, the "God of Fire", in the underground city, which would definitely be so good that it would blind the eyes of the Peruvian officials!
After a day of preparation, Lu Guansheng set off for Peru by helicopter.
Based on Xiao Lu's intelligence, he went to a village not far from where Xiao Lu was stationed at the time and rented a house.
"Are you sure it's here?" asked Lao Lu.
“That should be right!”
Xiao Lu told Lao Lu that the ancestor of the clan leader he joined was one of the death warriors who built the underground palace.
The patriarch has been guarding this land in order to protect the Temple of Poseidon and the treasure of the big fish.
Because they thought Xiao Lu was the God of Fire sent by God, and after getting along with him, they found that he was different from those Spaniards who were bent on plundering their treasures, so they did not hide too much from him.
In particular, the Spaniards only knew how to plunder them, but Lu Guansheng was very generous every time. Before leaving, not only did he not plunder their treasures, he also gave many gifts to their tribesmen.
Especially after he said goodbye to them, there was no one in the house the next morning, which made them even more convinced that he was a god.
It appeared out of thin air and disappeared in an instant. How can it not be magical?
"Then let's see what these experts say first? There's no rush anyway, why not study it carefully?" Old Lu suggested.
"Okay! Let's turn on the projection! Let's watch it together?"
"good!"
"Would you like a plate of roasted guinea pig?" Xiao Lu suddenly asked.
