Aztec Eternals

Overcast clouds drifted from the eastern sea and sky, with moist water vapor, and rained down the coast in showers. Huge and strange human-faced stone statues, like silent giants, stand still in the wind and rain, standing by the sea for thousands of years. A mighty and surging long river merges into the sea here, flooding out fertile fertile fields along the river. And surrounded by large fertile fields, is an ancient city that has lasted for thousands of years or even longer.

Here is the Caribbean coast, tropical rainforest climate, high temperature and rainy throughout the year, the precipitation is more than 2000 mm. The ancient city, 1300 miles from the capital city in the lake, is located on the edge of the Totonak people's territory. It is the prosperous coastal city-state, the hidden snake city Coatzaas.

And the long river that flows through Hidden Snake City from the depths of the jungle is the Hidden Snake River. According to legend, the Feathered Serpent God is from here, on a snake raft, to the endless East China Sea...

"What? We took a sea route of seven hundred miles to get here from Feathered Serpent City. How did we get here, and it is the legendary place where Feathered Serpent City went to sea?!"

Chihuaco, an old militiaman, scratched his hair and looked at Ticaro, a Mayan merchant with a bald head. He looked at the bald-headed businessman with a skeptical look, and questioned mercilessly.

"Tikalo, you bald fox. How many Feathered Serpents are there in the legend? How many times did she go to sea? Do you know the details of these city-states?"

"Cough! Captain Chiwako, of course I know!"

Tikaro choked, touched the smooth and divine head, and replied with a forced smile.

"There is only one Feathered Serpent in the legend, and she only went to sea once! It's just the location of the sea... For the coastal tribes who believe in the Feathered Serpent, it is a holy place for pilgrimage, not only can the gods of the city-state bring the holy land. The halo of the pilgrimage can also bring real pilgrimage income..."

"So, the city-states along the coast usually claim that the long river near them is the estuary where the Feathered Serpent God goes to sea!"

"Well, that's not right!... The fleet traveled all the way and saw so many estuaries. Are they all holy places? These Totonak tribes by the sea are not fools. There will always be details of legends to judge the true nature of holy places. Fake, right? ... Besides, after so many years, even a turtle in the water can compete and see who is the king of the millennium and who is the fake toad!"

Chiwaco stared at Tikalo, talking about the simplest dialectics. He always instinctively felt that this bald profiteer was unreliable.

"Cough! Cough!..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo coughed several times before replying a little embarrassedly.

"Captain Chiwako is really...like an old sea turtle, seemingly ordinary, but with great wisdom. Indeed, this struggle will definitely come to an end. Which city-state is stronger, and which surrounding ancient monuments are old, Whichever tribe has more influence is naturally the real Holy Land!"

"Up to now, there are only two sacred places for the Totonak people who are truly believed. One is the Feathered Serpent City in the north, and the other is the Hidden Serpent City in the south. These two city-states are very strong. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is very far away, and it is believed by the surrounding tribes... It can be regarded as two holy places in the east and the west!"

"It turns out to be like this, just like the kingdom and the alliance."

Ash soil Puap touched his head and casually said something beyond the norm. Soon, his eyes were attracted by the huge stone statues by the sea. He looked at it curiously for a while and asked questions again and again.

"Blessed by the Lord! What are these giant heads of three people used for? Their appearances, some of whose facial features are standard, are very similar to us. Some of them have protruding faces, and I don't know if they resemble the tribes there! ..and their expressions, why are they so sad? What is the hat on that head?"

"...Uh...that was the first era. The gods used themselves as a mold to carve the head of the giant stone man. The gods came from all over the gods, and naturally they would look different... They have long known that, The end of the era will come one day, so the expression is sad."

"...In the portrait of the giant man, there are the seeds of divinity left by the gods after they left. Only the gods with noble blood can inherit the inheritance. In the cognition of the seaside tribes, the noble and the lowly are born, and the gods are bestowed by the gods. The gods who inherit the divinity are also destined to lead the tribe! Whenever a noble goddess is born, matures or dies in the city-state, the major tribes will hold sacrificial ceremonies under the head of the giant stone man to inherit the ancient and revered divinity. And the power of the tribe! As for the hat on that head..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo thought about it for a while, but he didn't know, so let's just make up an explanation.

"That hat is used to attract divine power. Put it on, and the thunder in the sky will carry divine power and slam down..."

"boom!"

Just as Ticarlo finished speaking, a thunderstorm fell from the low clouds and landed on the adjacent sea. The three people on the boat were startled at the same time, and their faces were panicked, but for different reasons.

"Ah! . . . so dangerous? Then drive the boat farther away from these megalithic statues!"

Puapu raised his head in awe and looked at the low and rainy sky. After he gave a few orders, the sailors waved their flags to notify other ships, and then moved two or three miles into the river mouth, and finally lowered their anchors outside the city of Hidden Snake. As for the semaphore on the ship, it was naturally inspired by His Majesty and asked them to make it up for simple communication between ships.

As the kingdom fleet approached the city-state, the ancient city gradually appeared in front of them. The temple of white stone stands tall, surrounded by low walls of blue bricks. The noble houses are gorgeous and spacious, and the thatched houses of the ants are simple and crowded. Under the towering Feathered Serpent Temple in the center, there is a wide central market. At this moment, all the ministries from all over the world are conducting trade here.

easy.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Tikalo looked around the fair on tiptoe, and soon narrowed his eyes. The Hidden Snake City is located in the northern Maya state, at the junction with the various Nava tribes in the west, and there is a big river connecting the inland cities. Therefore, he was not surprised, and saw the slender heads of the gods, which were the signs of the Maya traveling together, and they came from various city-states. What made him even more angry was that there was hair on the heads of fellow UU reading www.uukanshu.com!

"Ha! A bunch of idiots who aren't smart enough..."

Tikalo gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"What? Tikalo, what are you talking about?"

The old militiaman touched his hair and looked at Tikalo carefully, with suspicion in his eyes. After going to sea here, he completely left the sphere of influence of the Mexica Alliance. The osprey of the Silver Crow tribe no longer knows the road behind. Continue to go east, is the Maya State. The Mayan merchant Tikalo was the only guide during their voyage, guiding them every time they set sail and berth. In this unpredictable place far from the alliance, he must keep an eye on this cunning businessman!

"Uh..."

Tikalo lowered his head slightly, avoiding the sight of the old militiaman. Facing this old captain with a keen sense of smell, he was inexplicably a little worried, and he was a little hesitant after a long-planned plan in his heart. After a few breaths, he raised his head with a sincere smile on his face.

"Respected Captain Chiwako! This hidden snake city has a history of more than a thousand years, but the Olmec ancestors, the center of the city-state ruins! Here, as long as you have a keen enough sense of smell, you can There is a great opportunity to obtain the unique artifacts left by the ancient ancestors!"
