The priest's hall shines with golden light, and the volcanic rock ceiling reflects blood red. The sun hummingbird sculpture of the main god stands high, as if benevolent, and as if looking down on all living beings ruthlessly.
The low words of the high priest gently fell on Xiuluo Te's ears, making him tremble all over. Xi Luo Te raised his head and made a sound in surprise.
"Grandpa, you..."
“We’ll talk about it when we get back!”
The high priest waved his hand without changing his expression. Then, he patted Shulot's shoulder affectionately.
"My child, be calm and accompany me to finish today's matters."
Seeing this, Shulot nodded silently and stood by, waiting patiently. He had too many confusions and puzzles about everything that happened today, and he hoped to get answers.
The solemnity and solemnity returned to the priest's hall. Soon, the high priest returned to the hall and got busy with daily affairs. Under the order of the high priest, volumes of newly compiled books and reports were all moved to
In the main hall, the high priest and Shulot were inspected.
"Xulot, sit here and take a good look at the books and documents of the High Priesthood."
The high priest smiled and gave gentle instructions.
"In the book, the first two volumes are a comparison of graphic characters and square characters, the middle volumes are the compiled myths and legends of the world, and the last few volumes are the teachings of the Lord God so far. Among the documents, the first few volumes are the tributes from the villages and towns of the alliance last year.
The middle ones are about the religious situation within the alliance, and the last ones are about missionary matters outside the alliance...You should read it carefully and be aware of it."
"yes!"
Shulot nodded respectfully and looked forward to it.
Books are the cultural repository of the High Priesthood, and documents are important secrets of the Alliance. The huge group of priests are busy day and night, reaching out to all parts of the Alliance like tentacles to get the details of these alliances. But only here, in this supreme great world
In the temple, he could only access such secrets with the permission of the high priest.
Shulot first opened the book and hurriedly checked it.
The alliance's text creation has been going on for many years and has become increasingly complete. Under the Chinese character framework of "Shenqi", there are not only copied Chinese characters, but also many phonetic Mexica pseudonyms. The alliance's priests use daily grammatical habits to create
Reshape a self-consistent language and writing system and extend it into a preliminary simplified form.
Seeing this, Xiulote was silent. Writing and language need to complement each other. On the basis of retaining the main body of Chinese characters, localized kana is the general trend. The final Mexica writing system will be similar to Japanese and Korean. Master the culture
The priests can read chapters in Chinese characters, but they speak in the reorganized Nahua language.
Afterwards, Hulot flipped through the compiled myths and legends of the world. The Mexica Alliance is located in the world, and the drawings and stone carvings of the surrounding ministries are included. According to the newly born unified thought of the Kingdom in the Lake, not only the Mexica people
The origin history has been completely revised, and the myths and legends of various tribes have also been re-edited.
"The world has the same origin, originating from the Jiao people... Ao, Te, Tuo, Te, inheritance alliance... The Lord God promised, God bless the royal family... The sun shines, the war is raging... All the tribes in the world are reunited...
.”
When Xiulote saw this, his heart surged. The world originated from the Jiao people, passed through the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, and Tepanec dynasties, and was passed down to the Mexica Alliance...
The main god promised the alliance to use the Mexica Valley, and the gods blessed the royal family to be the highest in the world...The alliance obeyed the will of the Sun God and the God of War, launched a divine war, brought peace to all the tribes in the world, and reunited them...This is the mythical epic of the alliance!
He pondered for a while, couldn't help but pick up his pen, and added another sentence at the end of the mythological epic.
"...Manifest Destiny will never end!"
The high priest glanced at it, with a slight smile on his lips.
"how?"
"Very good! It should be spread widely throughout the world!"
"Yes, then print out tens of thousands of copies. Distribute them to all parts of the alliance, let children and teenagers learn them, and use them as the basis for the selection of priests and warriors. Then spread them to all countries in the world, even if the most distant Mayan merchants want to
If you want to trade, you must understand this article."
The high priest smiled and nodded, making a decision.
"The other books will be treated similarly. If you have time these days, you can help me review and revise them."
"Dare you disobey me!"
Xiuluo nodded in agreement, looking excited.
The alliance controls printing and paper, and has a well-established writing system, and has an absolute first-mover advantage in the cultural dissemination of various Mesoamerican tribes. As long as these revised mythological epics spread and take root in the hearts of the people, a unified ideology will
Gradually taking root, the unified national concept will also accelerate its cohesion.
Of course, the integration of culture takes many years and cannot be achieved in a day. If you want to rule the world, what really takes effect quickly is a powerful monotheistic belief.
Shulot calmed down his emotions and opened the final teachings of the Lord God.
Over the past five years, with reference to the ideas proposed by Shulot and traditional belief myths, and with the efforts of hundreds of high-ranking priests, the doctrine of the Lord God has roughly taken shape and is initially logically self-consistent. Of course, the current Lord God religion has not yet been attacked.
A powerful challenge that does not require further exploration into religious philosophy.
Generally speaking, the belief in the main god was born out of the Nava polytheism, and it still retains many remnants of the subordinate gods. It can be called the Nava monotheism, or the Nava main religion. In religious doctrines, the five most important parts are that God is unique.
, God creates the world, God chooses his people, the reincarnation of the kingdom of God, and the destruction in the end.
The first thing to emphasize is the uniqueness of God, or the conceptualization of eternity, which is also the core of one god. In Mexica mythology, the original main god was born in the arms of the mother goddess, and he became an adult at birth, and was chased and killed
The moon god fought with many star gods... This part of the mythology must be deleted entirely, and it must be redefined and created with reference to the cross doctrine model.
In other words, the Lord God "eternally exists, is unique, supreme, omniscient, omnipotent, incorruptible, invisible..."
Next, there is the creation of the world. The Mesoamerican creation myth roughly consists of four parts. First, the original god gave birth to the four main gods of War, Quetzalcoatl, the original sun and the god of death. Then the four main gods killed the original sea monster.
Sipactli created the land. Then, the four main gods became the sun in turn, created four eras and failed and destroyed them. Finally, the four main gods joined forces to create the fifth era, which is the era of this man.
Hulot knew these myths and legends, and he even knew that in the original mythology, the ancient god of war and the main god of Mexica were not the same god.
In the new monotheistic doctrine, the Lord God became the only Creator God. He killed the original sea monster and created the land. Then, He tried to create the world four times, but all of them were destroyed due to dissatisfaction. Until the last time, He personally
Walking into the raging fire and using his divine body to maintain the entire world, this mortal era came into being.
Seeing this, Shulot frowned slightly. This part of the creation myth was a high degree of integration of the old myths, but it failed to reflect the omnipotence of the Lord God. After thinking for a while, he added another ambiguous sentence, full of profound meaning.
teachings.
"The Lord God is omnipotent and can create everything. However, mortal life is fragile after all and cannot bear too much great power. The Lord God is benevolent. For the survival of the mortal world, He restrained His own great power and bestowed divinity on the world.
Fall into the depths of mortal souls!"
"Lord God of love...the power of restraint...the divinity of mortals..."
The high priest tilted his head slightly. After seeing this teaching, he thought about it for a while and became noncommittal.
This chapter has been completed!
