Aztec Eternals

Remember [New] for a second,! Clouds steam and fog around, water vapor rises, changing like floating clouds, and like the air of heaven and earth. The crowd surrounded Shulot, listening to His Highness's divine revelation.

"Between the heaven and the earth, all things live and circulate, and there are all kinds of qi. They are intangible, colorless and tasteless, but they really exist. There is yang qi full of vitality, there is constant qi that changes with seasons, and there are also qi that violates vitality. Epidemic qi affects the health of the human body together!  …”

Sherlot pondered for a long time, and only spoke in a deep voice until the sun set. Naxiu next to him took out a pen and paper and carefully recorded every word of the divine revelation.

"...Yang qi falls into our body with the birth of a baby and turns into different life forces. It is divided into three parts, which are the heaven, earth, and abyss in the inheritance of priests. The qi of heaven falls on the head. , turned into Tonali in the head, which contains the divinity bestowed by the Lord God, and determines the fate of people. The air of the earth falls in the heart and turns into Tejolia in the heart, which contains the human soul. The air of the abyss Falling on the liver, it turns into the Ihotel in the liver, and is in charge of the health of the human body!"

Hearing this, Naxiu paused for a while, and her expression became pious.

In the Aztec priestly inheritance, there is also the concept of "three talents", but the sky, the earth and the abyss, as the manifestation of the divinity of the world. The human body corresponds to the world, there is a mysterious connection, and it also possesses three kinds of vitality, just like the "harmony between man and nature" in the traditional thinking of the Celestial Dynasty.

In fact, this concept exists widely in Central America. The three gods of the sun, moon, and stars of the Prepecha people, and the sacred world of the Chichimek dog, are all similar cognitions.

"...Yang qi resides in the human body, echoes with heaven and earth, and maintains the operation of the human body. The cause of disease is the manifestation of the struggle between the yang qi in the human body and the normal qi and epidemic qi that invade the body! As for the struggle As a result, either the yang qi prevails, expelling the two evil qi, and the human body recovers; or the evil qi deepens, suppressing the yang qi, and the disease is aggravated and difficult to cure; or the two coexist, the disease is hidden in the body, and a balance is temporarily achieved.

Shulot's voice was loud and loud, one sentence at a time, like a bronze bell.

The alliance's witch doctor inheritance corresponds to the nature of heaven and earth, and it just blends with the traditional theory of traditional Chinese medicine. And the mystical elements in witch doctors can only be fully guided by the "Qi" of Chinese medicine theory. The reason is probably that the medicine of the celestial dynasty is in the same line, and many concepts originate from the ancient pre-Qin period. Whether it is "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" or "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", both contain many ancient legends, and naturally they can also accommodate the American witch doctors in the ignorant era.

"Shirot, so we get sick, grow old or die because the yang qi is weakened and cannot resist the evil qi? If the evil qi enters the body, will it destroy the nine systems you mentioned?"

Alyssa fluttered her eyes, thoughtful. Such a statement is easier for the priests to understand than small cells, and easier for the people to believe.

"Exactly! Evil qi enters the body, yang qi weakens, and the organs that maintain the body's operation will be damaged. And the evil qi that hurts people can be divided into two types, one is the normal qi of environmental changes, and the other is the epidemic qi derived from infection. !"

In Shulot's mind, he suddenly remembered a buried movie, and the words "Plague Theory" came to his mind. The biggest threat to American civilization is the plague... He smiled with emotion and told in a deep voice.

"The diseases of the human body can be divided into two types. Ordinary injuries and colds are caused by feeling the normal qi of heaven and earth; while serious epidemic epidemics are caused by feeling the epidemic qi of heaven and earth! Normal qi and evil qi cannot be confused. The sources of the two are very different, and the responses are also very different!"

In traditional Chinese medicine, typhoid fever is a general term for exogenous diseases, rather than a severe infectious disease in later Western medicine, typhoid fever.

"For example, when the cold wave hit the south the year before last year, thousands of people in the northern city-states fell ill from the cold. They had fever, cough, weakness and headache, all of which were affected by the cold qi of heaven and earth. The cold qi entered the body and suppressed the yang qi. So weak. You need to get rid of the cold before you can gradually recover to health! It is hot in summer, when farmers faint from heatstroke, they are exposed to the heat. The sea breeze is humid, and the fishermen’s knees are sore, because they are exposed to humidity... These are the normal air of heaven and earth. , affects the functioning of the human body!"

"Ah, so that's what it is. Shirott, I'll understand when you say that!"

Alyssa nodded vigorously and suddenly realized. Immediately, she asked curiously.

"What about epidemic qi? Will it be more powerful than normal qi?"

"Alyssa, the two armies fought, and there were many casualties. If you don't bury the body, it will generate epidemic gas and then spread the plague. And similar plagues can spread on a large scale, causing many people to suffer from the same disease. This is not because of the intrusion of constant qi such as wind, cold, heat, and dampness, but because of the epidemic qi between heaven and earth!"

With a solemn expression, Shulot discussed the most important mechanism of the plague.

"The epidemic air can't be seen, touched, or smelled. It can suppress the yang energy in the human body and multiply; it can also spread to the world and spread with the wind and water... And the way the epidemic air spreads to people , of course there are two kinds. One is contagion, which is caused by contact with a sick person and infected with the plague in his body; the other is Tianshou, who breathes the plague in the wind or drinks the plague , and thus get sick..."

"The way the epidemic gas invades the human body is mostly through the nose and mouth, and then invades the chest and abdomen, and spreads throughout the body. In the chest and abdomen, it can simultaneously damage the heart of Tejolia and the liver of Ihotel. The essence of epidemic air is what I said before, bacteria and viruses that are even smaller than dust, but they cannot be seen at present. These tiny epidemic air have different bodies, and use different methods to damage different parts of the human body. Therefore, Only a certain kind of epidemic qi can cause corresponding infectious diseases, this is the theory of miscellaneous qi!"

Shilot paused for a moment, sighed faintly, and his voice became low.

"Because the epidemic gas can multiply and spread among the population, it is particularly dangerous. Once a serious epidemic gas spreads in the city-state, the number of people who get sick and die will be in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions!"

"Ah?! A million dead!"

Hearing this sensational number, Alyssa exclaimed. Although she believed her lover's words, she couldn't imagine how cruel it was.

"Yes! Even the death of a million people is just the beginning."

With a heavy expression, Shiloh thought of the history of another time and space. The thick darkness came like a pavement, and it was hard to breathe.

In 1519-1520, smallpox was spread by the ranks of Spanish colonizer Hernán Cortez. According to estimates of later generations, in just two years, smallpox caused the deaths of 5-8 million people in Central America, and many tribes went extinct!

The states of the Union of Mexica suffered heavy casualties, most of the nobles and warriors were killed and wounded, and even the successor King Quitravac died of smallpox. Millions of people fell into apocalyptic panic, struggled to fall into the abyss, and died of despair in the plague. A year later, the Spanish colonists, who had been defeated several times, made a comeback. With the power of smallpox, they captured the empty lake capital, the majestic Tenochtitlan.

In 1545, a new plague flew across the sea and spread across the land of Central America, bringing the cry of death, known in history as the "Cocoliztelli Pandemic". This pandemic may be the simultaneous spread of multiple severe infectious diseases, including typhus, typhoid, and measles. Between 1545 and 1548, the three-year pandemic killed a total of 5 million to 15 million people, directly taking away more than 80% of the population of Central America!

What is even more frightening is that this pandemic has lasted for more than 30 years and is the most tragic plague in human history. From North America to South America, countless indigenous peoples are struggling with despair. The pandemic erupted again between 1576 and 1578, taking another half of the remaining population of Central America in three years and killing 2 million to 2.5 million people.

By 1578 ~www.readwn.com~ in the whole of Mesoamerica, including the Yucatan region, only more than 2 million people survived. Back in 1519, before the outbreak of smallpox, the population of the entire world was at least 22 million! In just 60 years, 90% of the Central American population died, almost genocide!

The cruel plague has taken so much life that it has even significantly reduced the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere. Studies have shown that one of the reasons for the occurrence of the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty was the change in the composition of atmospheric gases, which made the world colder in advance.

"Compared with the colonists, the plague is a threat to the world! Therefore, the kingdom and the alliance must put the development of medicine in the first place. Only the medical level that surpasses the times can we deal with the great plague that has never existed before. It is possible to save American civilization! ... And this, perhaps, is the most important meaning of my coming to this era..."

Shulot was silent, and a strong sense of mission poured into his heart, like a fiery flame burning in his heart, and it never stopped for a moment.

At this moment, both Alyssa and Naxiu stopped. The two stared at their lover in a daze, only to feel that there was light in his eyes.
