Aztec Eternals

The climate at the seaside is fickle, it was cloudy and rainy just now, and now it is raining again. A beam of golden sunlight, through the scattered clouds, fell on the temple of Baishi, like a blessing from the sun god. On the walls of the temple, the reliefs of the snake gods flashed golden light, lifelike, as if they were swimming, showing magic.

When the Totonak people in the city walked by the edge of the temple, they would bow their heads reverently and salute to the majestic temple. Under the temple of the pyramid, the prosperous market is bustling with people selling goods and bamboo sheds everywhere. There are shouts of various accents one after another, and foreign merchants in various costumes come and go... This huge city-state market has at least thousands of people!

"Huh! It's really a big city!"

Chiwaco went ashore and looked out at the city. He opened his eyes wide, a little surprised. Such prosperity reminded him of the capital of Qin Congcan in the kingdom. However, the buildings and murals of this city-state were engraved with many gods he had never seen before, which made him a little wary in amazement.

"A lot of carvings of gods are different from the Feathered Serpent City. There is a big snake over there, and here is a snake nest..."

Tikalo nodded with a smile, looked at the familiar scenery, recalled the many trades he had done here in the past, and answered leisurely.

"Haha! Captain Qi is really sharp. Hidden Snake City is famous for snakes, enshrining many snake gods, and also has a tradition of raising snake pets. Here, not only the feathered snake **** Kecharcoyatel, but also our corn people. The Serpent Sun God, Itzamana, Kukulkan, the northern Mayan Quetzalcoatl..."

"Huh? Is your Feathered Serpent God different from the Feathered Serpent God of the various coastal tribes?"

Hearing this, Chiwako was slightly startled, a little strange.

"Tikalo, when you prayed in the past, did you pray for the 'Kcharcoyatl' or the 'Kukulkan'?"

"Well..."

Tikaro raised the corners of his mouth, suddenly remembering the pledge of allegiance to His Highness a long time ago. He suddenly laughed happily and preached proudly.

"Neither! The main **** of our family is actually the Serpent God, Itsumner. Only by swearing to him, can it be unbreakable!"

"Snake God..."

The old militiaman scratched his head, a little bewildered. These Mayan gods, he had never heard of before. Tikalo changed the subject and spoke confidently.

"Captain Qi, let me tell you, the world is very vast, and the hidden snake city is the real world! The Mexican highlands and the Mayan lowlands meet here, exchanging knowledge of the two worlds, and exchanging knowledge of the two worlds. The specialties of the two regions... And we, the Mayan merchants in exile, are the messengers who communicate with each other under the guidance of the snake god..."

Speaking of which, Tikalo sighed a little. He glanced at the direction of the northeast, where there was the glory of the family, as well as the ancestral land of ancestors and gods. It's just that now, all this is being... Tikalo lowered his eyes a little, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and turned his head to look south.

"...800 miles to the southwest, there is the Oaxaca Valley of the Zapotec people, which is also connected by waterways. And to the southeast, it is the various tribes of the Mayan Highlands. The merchants of each tribe will trade here and communicate with each other. Yes or not!...The two respected captains, the respected priests of the main god, there is a huge wealth flowing here, and there are also artifacts from the ancient era, let's enter the city!"

The fleet in the lake docked on the shore, seven longboats, and forty or fifty people came up at once. Warriors and sailors, each with weapons, puffs around their waists, and gems in their arms. Exploration fleets need supplies and purchase goods. The captains and sailors also wanted to buy themselves something, well, with the gems of the fleet...

Everyone is gearing up for a big fight. Chiwako wore a straw hat, a short coat, and a short spear for self-defense, very simple. At first glance, it looks like a militia.

The group entered the city gate guarded by the Totonak warriors, and did not attract much attention, but paid the foreign merchants' entry fee, a bag of cocoa beans. Then, they merged into the crowd of people who came and went, like hundreds of merchants from various departments, into the torrent of surging wealth!

People come and go, stepping out of the wide dirt road, straight into the central market. Soon, under the guidance of Tikalo, everyone came to the square market under the temple pyramid without taking a detour. The noisy atmosphere immediately approached, bringing thousands of people's screams, making people tinnitus for a while.

Chiwako opened his eyes wide, touched his straw hat, looked at the prosperity in front of him, and admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"Sellers of venison, turkeys, meat beetles, pumpkins, beans, cornmeal, and pottery, stone tools, and grass clothes... The villagers here have faces Have a good time, have a good time!"

"...Uh."

Hearing this, Tikalo's mouth twitched. He looked left and right, everyone else was looking for bizarre fetishes, only old man Qi, looking at these earthy objects without oil and water, this is really...

"I really don't know the goods!"

Tikalo murmured to himself, his eyes swept across several places in the market. Then, the corners of his mouth raised, confident.

"Haha! The villagers have a good life, but they didn't get it from selling things... That's because, ah, the legends of the sacred objects here have attracted countless foreign merchants here!"

The Mayan merchant smiled and pointed to the market.

"Look, the ancient relics were buried on this land, leaving countless relics. The stalls on this ground, these local villagers, will sell some antiquities dug out of the ground. It's just that sacred objects are rare, If you want to find the real fetish from these many ancient relics, you have to look at the blessing of the gods!"

Afterwards, Tikalo smiled faintly and proposed again.

"Hidden Snake City is a sacred city-state of commerce. Fighting is strictly prohibited in the city, and there are samurai patrolling it. It is very safe. Why don't we just spread out and find our own destiny!"

"Okay, God bless you! Old Man Qi, let's separate and see who has the best luck!"

Puap couldn't wait, rubbed his hands, and looked at the old militia expectantly. The old militiaman glanced at Puapu and then at the excited crowd, and nodded helplessly.

"Okay! This afternoon, just wander around the market separately. Don't forget the supplies of your ships, and don't reveal your wealth and spend too many... gems. Stay away from the kingdom and the alliance here, so stay vigilant. For the sake of The safety of the fleet, no matter what, we can't stay in a city-state for too long!"

"Well, before the moon comes out, you have to get back on board. We will sail into the sea tomorrow afternoon at the latest. If we miss the time, the fleet won't wait!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned solemn, and they nodded obediently. Ticarlo's eyelids twitched and his heart became anxious.

"Just leave for an afternoon? Leave tomorrow?...No, I have to hurry up..."

Soon, the fleet dispersed and went to various places in the market. Puapu stretched out his hand and touched the bag of gems in his arms, with a confident smile on his face. Then, he raised his spirits, widened his eyes, and went to hundreds of stalls in search of the fetish that was destined to belong to him!

The Mayan merchant Ticarlo strolled in the courtyard with a smile on his face, looking at the familiar scenes around him. His footsteps were very slow, and he gradually fell behind others, intentionally or unintentionally, watching everyone's actions.

The main **** priest Thomast has a clear purpose and a decisive action. He held the holy "Ali Sutra", and under the blessing of the Lord God, sharply swept the surrounding vendors. After a while, he found the target, strode forward, and came to a booth of stone mirrors, and searched carefully.

Among the piles of ancient stone mirrors, a palm-sized, simple and solemn black and red stone mirror with divine patterns engraved in it quickly fell into his eyes. And on the edge of this stone mirror, there is also infiltrated cinnabar red, and the gold pattern on it is even more extraordinary.

Tommat's eyes suddenly froze. He pursed his lips, stared at the divine pattern of the ancient mirror for a moment, and clenched the scriptures in his hand. Afterwards, the devout priest of the Lord God, with majestic eyes, looked at the young Totonak hawker sitting on the ground. He stretched out his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"This, it's an old style, black and red with gold pattern, thin stone mirror, how do you sell it?"

The ancient city of Hidden Snake is now the city-state of the Totonak people. The Nahua language of the plateau is also spoken here, but a lot of Mayan vocabulary is integrated. The kingdom's fleet, in the market here, can still communicate normally, even with gestures.

Hearing such a loud and powerful voice, the young hawker jumped in his heart. His eyes moved slightly, and he quickly looked at the clothes of the person who came. Then, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at the book in the hands of Priest Thomas, and immediately took some caution.

"Um... The priest, what did you exchange for it?"

"Gem. Very good gem."

Priest Tomat stretched out his hand and lit up the gem in the lake in his hand. The pure Huaguang fell into the eyes of the young hawker, making his eyes light up. He swallowed involuntarily and smiled.

"Respected priest, your eyes are really sharper than an eagle! This sacred object of the second ancient city has the divinity of a harbinger of the future, and it should be acquired by you..."

Priest Tomat's expressionless face interrupted the young hawker.

"How to sell?"

"...As long as ten, the gems in your hands... This divine mirror, which can be passed down to future generations, bless the family, and be blessed by fate, belongs to you!"

Priest Tomat shook his head, decisively. He stared into the eyes of the young peddler, and drank in a low voice with the solemn tone unique to priests in the lake.

"A gem!"

"Uh... esteemed lord priest, this is a rare fetish! To meet you is a meeting of fate..."

"A gem!"

"Ah, at least seven gems are needed. Lord Priest, think about it, if you have such a divine item, in the eyes of other priests, you are someone blessed by God. After that..."

"A gem!"

"...No way! Gems are valuable, but fetishes are priceless. I sell fetishes, and it is also the guidance of the gods. I have to find a divine owner for them. Fews can't be dusted, and their value will be reduced... at least Five gems!"

Hearing this, Priest Tomat's eyes were already filled with anger. According to the surface of the scriptures, he was as majestic as a god. He stared at the young hawker in front of him, his eyes as sharp as knives, which brought great oppression to the other party. His voice was resolute, as decisive as thunder.

"A gem! The Lord God has given me a revelation. Although this mirror is ancient, it does not have any divinity! Because, the Lord God said: All the divinities in the world can only be bestowed by Him who is supreme!"

"...this...the priest...you...you're right!"

The young hawker's forehead gradually began to sweat. He glanced at the bronze axe on the priest's waist, and for fear that the other party would draw out his weapon, he chopped him to death on the spot. If priests revered by various ministries kill people in the name of gods, even if it is a trade city-state that protects merchants, it will not be too harsh...

"But I... have mothers and children at home... I pointed to selling something and bought them some cornmeal and eggs... At least two gems!"

"Um..."

Priest Thomas lowered his eyes, pondered for a while, and recited in a low voice.

"The Lord God is watching us and giving light to those who are lost! And I read: Praise the Lord God Huitzilopochtli! He rules all things and is omnipotent!"

"what?"

The young hawker stayed for a while, opened his mouth and stammered.

"Uh... Praise the Lord God for 'feeding the radishes'! He rules all things and is omnipotent!"

"Praise the Lord God! He gave me gems!"

The hawker's eyes lit up instantly, followed by earnest prayers, and hope rose in his heart.

"Praise the Lord God! He gave me gems!"

"very good!"

Priest Thomas nodded in satisfaction. He took out three gems from his arms and handed them to the peddler.

"Ah! Three? Thank you, Lord Priest!"

The young hawker was overjoyed and in a hurry, he hurriedly put the gem into his arms. Then, he picked up the quaint stone mirror, respectfully, and handed it to the strange priest in front of him.

"Sir, your divine mirror."

"No, it's just an ordinary mirror. It has no divine nature, but it has a very ancient divine pattern."

Priest Tomat shook his head and looked at the peddler with bright eyes.

"And these gems are not given to you by me, but given to you by the Lord God!"

"...Uh..."

"Say, praise the Lord God! He gave me gems to lead me away from the lost path of darkness and gradually walk towards the light!"

"Ah?...Darkness?"

Hearing this, beads of sweat appeared on the young hawker's forehead again. He hesitated for a while, but for some reason, he actually followed the priest and repeated the prayer in a low voice.

"Praise... Praise the Lord God! He gave me gems to lead me away from... the lost path of darkness, and gradually walk towards the light!"

"Very good! My child, the merciful Lord God is watching you and guiding you! What is your name?"

Priest Tomat nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and stroked the young peddler's hair kindly.

At this moment, the young peddler seemed to have been hit by the immobilization technique, inexplicably stagnant in place, without any escape. He raised his head, looked at the gentle eyes of the priest in front of him, and listened to the gentle voice of the other party, as if he really felt the warmth of the Lord God.

"I, my name is... a stone mouse, a mouse born in a stone has no parents..."

Hearing this, Priest Thomas raised his brows, gave the stone mouse a meaningful look, and shook his head.

"You don't have parents, but you have the protection of the Lord God! The Lord God is the sun in the sky, bringing light to all living beings, no matter what background he is, as long as he converts to the right path! My child, from now on, your name will not be Shi The mouse is called the day mouse. The Lord God has given you light, and even if you are in the abyss, you will see the hope of redemption!"

The stone rat was in a trance for a moment, inexplicably, and changed his name.

"...Yes. My name is White Rat. Praise the Lord God! Even if I am in Diyuan, I will see hope!"

"Very good! White Rat, my child, we will meet again!"

Priest Tommat smiled kindly, picked up the divine mirror, rubbed Sun Mouse's hair again, and turned to leave. A few steps away, Ticarlo opened his mouth wide, looking at all this, and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"This... this preacher and priest of the Lord God... is really an evil sect!"
