After the group passed through the forest, they were greeted by a patch of cool and moist air.
Not far away, a huge waterfall flew down from the cliff in front. The waterfall hit the pool below, stirring up large swaths of water mist.
Martin lifted his mask, and the cliff shape in front of him was also very weird.
It's like two twisted twists juxtaposed together. The whole body is dark, and the upper end is slightly split, forming a gap. The water flows down from the gap.
"How to go? asked Satan
"There, go around there. Martin pointed to the left.
Only then did everyone discover that beside the pool formed by the waterfall, there was a small hidden valley, which was dark and the same color as the mountain.
"keep going! Satan waved his hand and ordered.
The team moved forward again, this time with two young men leading the way.
This small valley was very short, only less than fifty meters.
After walking out of the valley, everyone stopped and looked shocked. Looking at the strange scene in front of me.
A small earth-yellow city stood on the ground in front of me, and the ground around the small town was covered with large and small cracks.
Obviously, this caused this small town to lose all news The reason.
Namor's guess was correct. There had obviously been an earthquake in these 29 miles, which isolated the small town from the rest of the world. Even if there were survivors in the small town, it would probably be difficult to get out of the cracks all over the earth!
In Martin's memory, it took even the"Dark Night Lion" five full days to climb up and down through these cracks and enter the small city.
But Martin and the others didn't have to go to such trouble.
Satan visually inspected After a short distance, he waved his hand, and two large dark green metal boxes were carried over.
The two boxes were placed side by side about two meters away from the first crack. As the soldiers operated, bang bang bang bang The sound sounded, and in each of the four hollow corners of the box, a hard steel cone was driven into the ground inch by inch.
After the steel cone fixed the metal box, the soldiers pulled two more boxes. Eight steel cables were ejected from the handle on the rear side, spanning a distance of nearly 60 meters, and penetrated into the wall of the city in front. Four buckles popped out of the sharp vertebrae at the front of the steel cables to secure it firmly. In the wall.
Then, the sound of a machine in the metal box was heard, and the steel cables began to slowly pull back. After a while, the four and eight steel cables were stretched straight.
This is not over yet.
Two more boxes were pulled back. Lifting it up, there were pieces of metal modules inside.
There were rollers with grooves installed on both sides of the metal module, which could just fit on the two steel cables.
The soldiers stuck the pieces of metal modules on the two steel cables below. , after clamping one piece, push it forward, the module slides forward, and then clamp the next piece.
"This thing was originally made to be used by Antarctic explorers to cross ice cracks. As long as the front cone is slightly modified, it can be used in the terrain here. Martin smiled.
An hour later, with the metal modules covering the four steel cables below, the two pontoons were built.
"Let two soldiers go over later and reinforce the other end before we set off."Satan said
"Can!"Martin nodded.
After another half an hour, Martin and his party had all arrived in front of this small city.
The city wall was not high, about five meters, and was entirely earthy yellow. It was built with some kind of local sandstone.
Satan picked it up He picked up a stone and smashed it on the surface of the city wall. Even with all his strength, he could only make a small shallow hole in it.
"It should be quartz sandstone, very hard."He said.
Martin looked at the two circular fortress-like buildings on both sides of the city wall. The entire building was brown, but the surface of the wall was inlaid with sharp black stone thorns, somewhat like the waterfall outside. The stone of the cliff.
Everyone walked into the small town curiously. One after another, the once magnificent buildings were in ruins. Even after earthquakes and hundreds of years of sand erosion, they could still see the prosperity of this place back then.
These Some of the buildings are made of sandstone, and some are made of molded mud bricks. The remaining reliefs on the surface of the building have a strong Sudanese style. The center of the small town should have been a market, with rows of small houses there, quite in the style of shops.
In the market On the west side of the city square, there is a mosque. The dome has collapsed, but the huge square hall that remains can still be seen from its former grandeur. In front of and behind the mosque, there are gravel streets of different widths, and one winds towards the market. The square extended, and one line extended to the residential area on the other side.
Martin's goal was this mosque.
He led everyone to the door of the mosque.
Martin asked everyone to divide into two teams, and some of them went to search the ruins in other places. The other part was to follow him to explore the mosque.
At this time, Didier was lying on the ground, muttering to himself, I don’t know what he was talking about. The indigenous people of Africa all believe in Islam to a certain extent. Especially in North and West Africa. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In fact, in Africa, Christianity spread earlier than Islam.
When Christianity spread in Africa in the 4th and 5th centuries AD, Islam Yuccaism does not exist yet, and was not founded by Muhammad until the beginning of the 7th century AD.
However, Christianity suffered from serious internal strife, and its own divisions caused ineffective spread, which gave Islam an opportunity.
7th century After that, the Arab Empire was at its peak, and all of North Africa was ruled by the Arabs. Even Spain, a Catholic world, was conquered and ruled by the Arab Moors for 700 years. Naturally,
Islam spread rapidly in North Africa, and Arab immigrants and Africans The integration of people, Islam is even more deeply rooted.
120 West Africa and North Africa are connected through the Saharan trade route, and Islam entered West Africa from North Africa with trade. Islam in East Africa was introduced from brought in by the Arabs and Persians from the sea.
Therefore, from the 7th century to the discovery of the New World at the end of the 15th century, the European Christian world has been struggling to cope with the challenges of the Islamic world, and on the other hand, it has also been trapped in its own religious wars. Of course, , had neither the intention nor the ability to spread its teachings in Africa.
After centuries of dissemination, no one has been able to shake the teachings of Islam in Africa.
Even if the European countries later colonized Africa, because its missionary itself was colonial and discriminatory to Africa Compared with Islam, its acceptance level is greatly reduced.
For example, a black South African bishop once said:"When white missionaries first arrived in Africa, they had the Bible in their hands, and we had the land in our hands. The missionary said: Let us pray, so we closed our eyes and prayed. When we opened our eyes, we found that we had the Bible in our hands, but they had the land in their hands."
So Didier is also an Islamic believer, but not a particularly devout one, because he also believes in the local primitive religion, so his attitude towards Islam is a bit like that of the Chinese, who worship mosques and temples when they see them. Bye bye, do what you usually do.
