Aztec Eternals

Starting from the long western coast and heading inland for two or three hundred miles, through the lowland Mayan jungles, you will come to a swarm of farmland and villages. In the center of dozens of Mayan villages, between Uxmal and Mayapan, is the capital of the Shiu family, the city of Mani.

Golden sunlight, falling from the sky, shines on this ancient religious center. The Pyramid Temple of the Serpent God and the Feathered Serpent God is right in the center, shining with brilliance and golden light together. Under the 30-meter-high pyramid, there is an open market square. On the east side of the prosperous square are temples of other gods. On the south side of the open square, there is a semi-open-air human sacrifice stadium, but it is not yet time for the festive game. On the west side of the solemn square, there is a square two-story palace, which is the most important place in the city-state, the Palace of Xiumeide.

At this moment, a feather-crowned leader with narrow eagle eyes and gray hair was standing on the second floor of the palace, proudly looking around his country. In the temple area on the east side, there are many ancient old temples, even inherited from the Mayan golden age thousands of years ago. In front of the square, there is a busy and prosperous market. The gods and nobles of the city-state all hang out and rest here, sharing the beauty of Shenyan.

"The Celestial Snake Festival is coming soon, and the nobles are buying goods. They have to collect another batch of corn flour from villages around the world, make small cakes, and distribute them to the townspeople during the festival..."

Xiu Patriarch Xiupan stared at the prosperous square, thinking silently. He often looked around the city like this, watching the details in the market, thinking about the rule of the family.

January is the Feathered Serpent's Festival, and April is the Celestial Serpent's Festival. On the festivals twice a year, the Xiu family will distribute cakes to the citizens of the capital without discrimination. And these two months are also the difficult season of spring drought, which can best reflect the value of relief.

"Two batches of food are distributed every year. Although it will be costly, it can reap the hearts of the capital and spread the virtues of the family. Forty-eight years ago, the Tutul Xiu were willing to follow the family to the death and rebelled against the rule of Mayapan, relying on the family. Year after year of grace, and a good name passed down from generation to generation!"

Patriarch Hupan narrowed his eyes, recalling the long past. Yes, for the past forty-eight years, he clearly remembers this number, because he was born in that year.

Forty-eight years ago, grandfather Xiu Ashupan raised his army brazenly, captured Mayapan by surprise, and slaughtered the brutal Cocom royal family. The family's two hundred years of forbearance finally succeeded! After his grandfather returned to Mani, he was so satisfied that he named his newly born self Hue Pan. The Pan here is Maya Pan, the standard and model of the Mayans, and the capital occupied by the Shiu family!

Twenty years later, he also followed his grandfather's example and named his eldest son Hutuer. The Tuer here symbolizes that after 20 years of cleanup and assimilation, the Xiu clan has completely mastered the prosperous Wangji area and ruled the entire prosperous Tutuerxiu!

The **** smoke bird bird ignited, and the thoughts of Patriarch Xiupan drifted away. Until a burly and strong youth with the face of a god, strode into the palace and bowed to the old patriarch.

"Blessed by the Serpent God! Father, you took me from the front line of the Kanur clan's confrontation, and hurriedly called back to the capital..."

Although the young man's gesture was respectful, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

"But what happened?"

"Blessed by the **** of snakes! Hutur, sit down. Don't be in a hurry."

Patriarch Hupan turned around and pressed his palm. Afterwards, he stared at the eldest son who sat down and obeyed the order, but still looked like a jaguar, and lowered his eyes slightly. The eldest son is brave and good at fighting, and his wisdom is equally good. The only disadvantage is that he is too fond of samurai, and his character is impatient and aggressive.

"My son, I called you here for an urgent matter. You are on the western front, and you should have heard that there is a fleet of gems from the western plateau, under the guidance of the **** of wealth, all the way along the coast, sailing east..."

"Huh? The Nahua's gem fleet? I've heard of it. But..."

Hutuer thought about it for a while, and then focused his head. Then, he looked at his old father in confusion.

"Father, this gem fleet is only sailing along the coast and can't reach the land. They can't reach our clan's territory, so what does it have to do with us?"

"...Hutur, they can't go ashore, but we can go over and meet them at the beach."

The Xiupan patriarch Dandan opened his mouth and looked north. Two hundred and seventy miles from here is the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The tail feather clan and the deer clan along the coast are all vassals of the Xiu family.

"Huh? You want me to go north and intercept this fleet of riches?"

Hutuer thought about it for a moment, and there was a vigorous fighting intent in his eyes. Immediately he stood up, stretched out his hand, and made a sacrificial gesture.

"Okay! I'll take a thousand warriors and go to the shore to ambush! When the fleet reaches the shore for supplies, I will launch a surprise attack, sacrifice all of them to the gods, and bring back all the gems!"

"..."

Patriarch Hupan was silent. He looked at the eldest son who would be high in fighting spirit, sighed secretly, shook his head and said.

"No! My son. Witness of Serpent God! I'm not asking you to attack the fleet and get the gems back. I'm asking you to meet them and trade with them!"

"Huh? Trading gems?"

"Sit down, don't rush."

The Hupan patriarch kept his face calm, not angered and arrogant. Hutuer reluctantly sat down again, listening to his father's instructions.

"Hutur, you have to remember. The gods of our city-state Maya, unlike the martial plateau tribes, rely on their divinity and brains to rule the warriors and city people, and govern the territory and the city-state! You have to focus now. , not to fight on the battlefield, but to strengthen one's own divinity, and constantly win over allies and supporters!"

"Eh? Focus on enhancing divinity, winning allies and supporters?"

"right!"

Patriarch Hupan nodded his head and explained it carefully to the eldest son.

"The news of this gem fleet has spread throughout the peninsula. All the lowlands want to get a gem from them! ... You robbed the entire fleet and got so many gems, city-state The precious stones will be discounted, and they will not be able to be consumed for a while, and the actual benefit is not large."

"More importantly, if the fleet is robbed, the clan will not only fight against the distant plateau tribes, but also destroy the thoughts of others and commit the anger of all the tribes! The eyes of all the tribes will be on us, let us Be the target of so many spears... Remember, really smart people don't do such stupid things with little profit and unpredictable consequences!"

Hearing his father's analysis, Hutur was stunned for a while, and then he figured out the key.

"So it is! So, you asked me to trade, just to get the most gems, and leave the rest to the other ministries?"

"That's right. That's about it."

Patriarch Hupan nodded, looking at the eldest son who was as strong as a samurai, with a loving smile on the corner of his mouth. The eldest son is actually very smart, but his personality is too impulsive, and his strong physical instincts often precede his brain's thinking.

"I still need to practice more! I can't let him stay in the army all the time, and he doesn't look like a goddess."

Patriarch Xiupan thought for a few breaths, and then spoke again in a deep voice.

"Hutur, you bring eight hundred elite Mayan warriors, as well as the family's valuable goods, and go to the northern coast as soon as possible, the Wei Village of the Wei Feather clan, and wait for the gem fleet coming from the east. After turning the cape, there are several The first supply port within a hundred miles, the gem fleet will definitely dock there."

"Then, the first thing, you have to try to exchange the largest gem, bring it back to the capital, and claim the blessing of the God of Wealth! If the goods are not enough, you can ask the vassal Weiyu clan, and I will compensate them. You You can also put some pressure on that fleet, but don't overdo it. And even if you don't get a lot of gems, don't turn your back and try to make a good relationship with the Nahua people! Because gems are not important, and the Nahua tribes in the west , may be powerful."

"Ah? Father, gems are not important?"

Hutur scratched his head and looked at his father suspiciously.

"Powerful Nava tribe? Do you know where this fleet came from?"

"Well, this fleet should come from the Aztec Alliance on the Western Plateau. They are very powerful forces, but they are more than three thousand miles away from us and cannot affect the situation here. You can make good friends properly... Listen I said! Gems are not important. What matters is enhancing your divinity!"

Patriarch Hupan paused, then opened his mouth faintly, talking about the art of domination.

"For divinity to gain a foothold in people's hearts, you must hold a grand ceremony and be witnessed by everyone! You don't need to really get a lot of gems, you just need to pass various propaganda to convince everyone that you are blessed by the **** of wealth. , got a lot of gems..."

"The same, the second thing. This time you go north, you will also hold a solemn sacrifice at the 'Demon's Tail' on the coast! It is the sanctuary where the gods destroyed the world and created the world, which can also strengthen you After the ceremony, you spend the night in the 'Demon's Tail'. The next day, you're going to claim that you had a divine dream... say the Serpent's Tail, crawling out of the ground, I got into your arms and merged with you..."

"Ah this? Spend a night in Demon's Tail and make up a sacred dream?"

Hearing his father's actions, Hutur was stunned and speechless. He thought about it for a while, and then asked the question that had always been in his mind.

"Father, what is there in the underground of Demon's Tail?"

"Under the Demon's Tail, there is an artifact of the gods destroying the world. It was there that the gods destroyed the era before the chaos and created the world for the first time! As for what the artifact was, the ancestors of Snake Capital did not record it. Probably the gods It didn't make it clear...don't change the subject!"

Patriarch Hupan raised his brows, and Hutuer immediately lowered his brows and listened.

"As for the third thing, you have to meet the leaders of the tail feather clan and the deer clan of the coastal vassals. You have to represent the Xiu clan, show support for them, and show goodwill. After you have done this, you will arrange personnel and publicize it. Go out and say that you had a good time talking with the chiefs, even about marriage relatives..."

"What? Marriage relatives?"

"Yes! First release the news and let all the ministries know. Then, I will arrange for someone to propose marriage to the daughters of the two clan chiefs, so that you can marry two more goddess wives, and also win over two external allies."

Patriarch Xiupan nodded with a smile, benevolent eyes, and had already predicted everything.

"After these three things are done, you will return to the capital with the gems, preside over the ceremony on the grand Celestial Snake Festival in April, and do two other things!...One is in the name of the God of Wealth, Most of the gems are distributed to the nobles at the festival in the capital. The other one is distributed to the citizens of the capital in the name of the **** of snakes, and the small cakes that are customary at festivals are distributed."

"Uh? In the name of the gods, distributing gems to nobles and small cakes to townspeople? Father, it's not always you who presides over festivals..."

"I'll leave it to you in the future! This year is the first year you've hosted, so the number of small cakes distributed will be doubled. I will also arrange for people to kneel and salute at the scene to praise your divinity and love for the people! After you see it , you must hold the other party up with your own hands, and tell the townspeople loudly, this is not your grace, but the grace bestowed by the Serpent Lord God through your hand!"

After Xiupan's patriarch finished speaking, he glanced at the eldest son who was stunned and sluggish. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the other's slender head lovingly.

"Trade gems, worship the gods, form alliances and marry, hold festivals, distribute gems and cakes... After completing these five important tasks, almost, your divinity and prestige are enough to inherit the position of my clan leader. !"

"Ah? Ah this!"

For the first time, Hutur's flamboyant face showed concern. He stepped forward and grabbed the arm of Patriarch Hupan.

"Father, you... your body?"

"I'm in good health, don't worry! My son, you are my heir. I'm just making some preparations in advance to pave the way for your future! You know, your uncles and cousins ​​are still watching With this position, you need to establish your divinity as soon as possible, and smash their minds!"

The Hupan patriarch waved his hand and knocked off his son's hand, deliberately showing the majesty of the god-born patriarch. There was an inexplicable worry in his heart, but he couldn't talk about it.

"Since my grandfather perished Mayapan and slaughtered the Kecome royal family, my grandfather and father, two successive generations of clan leaders, have not lived past the age of fifty! The previous great-grandfather lived to be sixty-five years old! This year, I have already Forty-eight. In case I don't live to fifty... Damn Cocom royal family, I don't know what curse has been placed on the clan!..."

The Xiupan clan elder narrowed his eyes, and a ruthless color flashed in his eyes. Hutuer's back froze, and he lowered his head, wondering what his father was planning.

"Haha! They still have the last remnant, hiding their names incognito, hiding in the jungle two hundred miles northeast, under the protection of the Kapoor family. Perhaps, I should send troops before I die to lure the Kapoors away completely. Settle the remnants of this clan. The curse has to be lifted so that it doesn't pass on to my son..."

Thinking of this, Patriarch Xiupan's eyes showed a rare warmth. He looked at the eldest son, who was burly like a warrior and looked worried, smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to chase him away.

"Hutur, you go! Order the eight hundred warriors as soon as possible, and let the people pack the valuable goods in the warehouse~www.readwn.com~ quickly go to the north! The gem fleet in the west is moving very fast, and it is never anywhere. One city-state is too long. Don't miss it with them! Blessed by the **** of snakes!"

"Follow you, I'll go down to prepare, and leave early tomorrow morning! God of snakes bless!"

Hutur said loudly, and bowed respectfully to his father. Then, he strode away, like a soldier ready to go out. He has a clear goal, walking the long road arranged by his father, to climb the highest mountain. This road has long been arranged properly, beyond ordinary imagination.

On the second day, under the leadership of Prince Hutul himself, eight hundred Shiwu warriors, along with several hundred civilians, left the north gate of Mani City and hurried to the Wei Village of the Weiyu Clan along the coast.

The old Hupan Patriarch stood on the top floor of the high palace, watching everyone go away, with a calm smile on his face. He has ruled the Xiu clan for 20 years, turning the Xiu clan into the most powerful force on the peninsula step by step. He also had a clear understanding of the Mayan tribes and the hearts of people inside and outside the city-state.

"Supreme Serpent God, bless her bloodline! Destined destiny, write the epic of the gods... Everything is under control!"
