Aztec Eternals

"The power of benevolence can last, and the devotion of divinity is admirable. Among ordinary people, there is the most powerful power! ... These are the truths in the long river of time."

Sherlot looked at his grandfather and whispered some kind of explanation.

Hearing this, the high priest thought for a while and nodded gently. He patted Shilot on the shoulder and smiled calmly.

"My child, it's up to you."

Shiloh pursed his lips and nodded silently. He continued to look down, and then came the third part of the doctrinal system, "God's Chosen People", which is the theoretical basis for the establishment of the priesthood.

The concept of God's chosen people is those who have been enlightened by the Lord God and blessed by the Lord God. This concept is a kind of comparison all the time, and it is very aggressive. Those who believe in the Lord God, compared with those who do not believe, are the chosen people of God. The devout believers, compared with the ungodly, are the chosen people of God.

And among the devout, the more divine enlightenment they receive, the more blessings they give to God, and the more they are “chosen by God”. According to this logic, the Mexicans were inspired and blessed by the Lord God, so they were a nation chosen by God. Priests have more divine revelation, so they are God's chosen ones.

The Chosen Ones have the innate responsibility to rule, to guide and enlighten the common people. The priests chosen by God established the priesthood to guide thousands of people, of course not for power and pleasure, but to spread God’s enlightenment and serve as God’s shepherds.

And at the top of this chain are the elders, high priests, god-born kings, and His Highness Shen Qi who inherit divinity!

Seeing this, Shilote pondered for a moment, and was filled with admiration.

"This part of the doctrinal exposition, logically clear, and well written... Who wrote it?"

The high priest lowered his eyes and said calmly.

"It's Priest and Elder Acap."

"Ah? Acap..."

Shirot was slightly startled, thinking of his childhood friend, the young priest who accompanied his grandfather. he asked softly.

"In the hall today, I didn't see Acap. I haven't seen him for many years... Where is he?"

"Elder Akap has always been on good terms with the leader of the priest priests of Cholula in the holy city of Cholula. At this moment, he has already dispatched the city of Cholula to prepare for the Eastern Expedition after the autumn harvest."

Speaking of Acap, the high priest's voice was very calm, without a trace of emotion.

"I see."

Xiuluo nodded with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I'm afraid this mission will not be easy! The alliance is going to attack the four states of Tlaxcala, directly threatening the holy city of Cholula. The priest leaders of Cholula will never stand by, and I don't know if they will take out their anger on Acap. .."

"Well, I have to send someone to try, even if it takes a while."

The high priest smiled deeply.

"The holy city of Cholula doesn't have many troops. Their greatest strength is to be a big banner, calling on the nobles of the three divisions of Totonac, Mistec and Zapotec to unite against the alliance. The three divisions It takes time to mobilize the nobles, and it also takes time to cooperate. If they arrive a few months later, the Eastern Expedition may be over..."

"Yes! The most important thing in the war is time... Cholula's priest leaders may not have the courage to openly oppose the alliance."

Shirot pondered for a moment and asked softly.

"I remember at the beginning of the Western Expedition, the alliance negotiated with the Cholula priesthood, promising them a high-level priesthood in the alliance?"

"Everything in the world will change with the changes of the world... My child, how can the situation of the alliance before the Western Expedition be compared with the current situation?"

The high priest smiled slightly, like an old fox.

"The Cholula priesthood is huge in scale, has a profound influence, and has held religious power for generations. They are completely different from the Ortomi priesthood... The current alliance has long lost their place!"

Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows and realized the cruel unfinished meaning. His expression remained unchanged, in agreement.

"Indeed. At the beginning of the education reform, the falsely exalted priesthood given to the priest families of the alliance states should be gradually cleaned up!"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, with the will of blood and fire, and stopped talking.

Shilot continued to read the teachings. The fourth part is "Reincarnation of the Kingdom of God", which outlines a complete afterlife world.

"The devotees ascend to the kingdom of the sun god, obtain the satisfaction of the soul, and enjoy peace and beauty forever... The warrior who died for the god's battle entered the red kingdom, loved by the god, and could be reincarnated as beautiful birds and flowers... Sinners sank into the land of death, turned into rock sculptures, and suffered eternally from cold winds and knives..."

Seeing these remarks, Shiloh nodded slightly. These discourses are all extracted from traditional alliance myths, used to appease the hearts of believers and bring hope after death.

And what determines the believers' fate after death is naturally their devotion and devotion during their lifetime. From this, there are many specific religious requirements such as "obeying the teachings", "devoting devotion", "daily prayer", "repentance and atonement", "regular worship"...etc. This part of the content will continue to be revised with the changes of society and the times.

The last part is "End Times Destruction". Eschatology is an extremely important and indispensable component of belief systems, and is involved in every denomination in the world. It speaks of the ultimate question of destiny, which determines the core belief goal.

The universe will die and everything will come to an end. What is the purpose of human existence? In religion, the answer to this question is the belief in God...

Similar sayings have long been reflected in the traditional myths of the Mexicas.

The birth and destruction of the four eras, for the world in the era, is the end of the world... The sun **** needs vitality and blood to fight the evil moon **** and maintain the world's operation, otherwise the end of the world will come... Every The rekindling of the holy fire once every 52 years is also to prevent the world from being destroyed by darkness... There is also the Mayan chronology cycle, the end of the world to come... In the understanding of ordinary people, the alliance continues to wage wars of gods, and the warriors have nothing to do with it. Fear of life and death, all to save the world!

While thinking about it, Shirotte looked at the newly organized teachings. He recited softly, savoring the last paragraph.

"...In short, the kingdom of the Lord God will eventually come to the world. The Lord God will show boundless might, and will judge all the people in the world, whether they believe or not!... The end of the world To come, to survive or to perish? Everything will be determined by faith!"

The high priest smiled faintly.

"how?"

"Very good!"

Shilot was a little surprised. He looked at the familiar saying and asked.

"Who wrote this?"

"I wrote it~www.readwn.com~ There is a sentence in it, what you said when you were a child."

With a smile on his face, the high priest stretched out his hand and kindly touched his grandson's cheek.

"My child, when you were young, you said many words of divine revelation. I knew you were extraordinary then..."

Shirot's face was inexplicably red. He kept quiet and changed the subject.

"...God is unique, God created the world, God chooses people, God's kingdom is reincarnated, and the end of the world is destroyed... These five parts of the doctrine confirm each other, and generally have become a system, which is enough to convince the people. However, it is slightly insufficient. .."

"Oh?"

The high priest's eyes moved. He solemnly looked at Shiloh.

"Where is the deficiency?"

Scholot pondered for a while, thinking of the Buddha who became a Buddha in Buddhism, the son of God who came back from the dead in Cross religion, and similar descriptions in other religions... He spoke carefully.

"There also needs to be instances of sanctification of the flesh, the incarnation of the Word, to be preached in the mouths of believers. For future generations to be able, um... 'Seeing is believing, empathizing'. Perhaps, we can deify the first leader of the Mexicans, Chief Tenoch. Telling the epic of how he was inspired by God since he was a child, led his tribe, led his people to move south to the valley, and established the capital of Tenochtitlan in the lake..."

"Deified the first leader, Chief Tenoch?"

Hearing this, the high priest looked serious and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head, an inexplicable smile appeared on the old face, and said with deep meaning.

"My child, you have been inspired by God since you were a child, and you are born extraordinary... The story of the gods in the world, let future generations tell it!..."

Hearing the words, Xiulote was stunned, if he realized something. He stopped talking, put down the book, and opened the alliance's documents. The first thing that catches your eye is "God Bless Alliance, Hukou, Farmland and Tribute".
