The long wind brought songs, echoing in the prosperous lake capital. The sun set slightly to the west, reflecting the light and shadow of the magnificent temple. Hundreds of thousands of celebrating people, like a tide, flowed throughout the capital, bringing up
Cheers of joy. The capital city in the lake roared with joy, but only the palace and temple area were solemn, where the sacred wedding ceremony was being held.
The grand wedding ceremony started in the early morning, and half a day had passed before I knew it. Two thousand Eagle Fighters and Jaguar Fighters lined up inside and outside the King's Palace, wearing armor and leading troops with solemn expressions. Envoys from various states stood on the summer day.
In the sunshine, although my body was covered with sweat, there was still a blessing smile on my face.
As the host of the wedding, Kakamazin looked solemn and sang a speech loudly. It was not until this moment that the sacred wedding officially began.
"...The rain brings good news! The older woman comes from the east with a rope of agave to connect the two parties in marriage!"
Soon, surrounded by several noble ladies, an old woman dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing feathers walked slowly from the east. She was about fifty years old, with a kind expression and a smile, and was holding a ceremonial rope.
.Under the attention of everyone, she first came to Kakamazin and smiled gently.
"Thank you, my wife!"
Kakamazin lowered his head slightly and handed over the important task of asking about the intentions of both parties to his wife.
In Mexican weddings, asking about intentions is the first step, and the messenger must be a respected old woman. Generally speaking, this step occurs before the wedding. At this royal wedding, although there were complete
ritual process, but most aspects are just a formality.
"I obey you, my husband."
The old woman bowed her head in return. Then, she continued to walk forward slowly, came to the front of the King's Palace, and bowed to King Avit on the second floor. Her status was noble enough, as she was the elder of the royal family and the messenger of the wedding.
, there is no need to kneel to the king.
Avitt stood up and bowed his head solemnly in return.
Then, the old woman smiled slightly and asked loudly.
"Alyssa's respected father! Pure Alyssa is the most beautiful lotus in the royal family. Young Shulot is the most heroic hummingbird in the royal family... May I ask, can the beautiful lotus bloom for the heroic hummingbird?
"
Hearing this, Avitt had a complicated expression and lowered his eyes slightly. After a few breaths, he nodded in agreement as the girl's parent.
"Can!"
The old woman stood there and saluted again. Then she asked loudly again.
"Xulot's respected teacher! Young Shulot is the most heroic hummingbird in the royal family. The pure Alyssa is the most beautiful lotus in the royal family... May I ask if the heroic hummingbird can perch on the beautiful lotus?
?”
Avitt pursed his lips and nodded calmly. This time, it was as Teacher Shulot.
"Can!"
These two inquiries are roughly equivalent to the alliance in traditional Chinese weddings, one asking the woman and one asking the man. In the Mexican Union, the bride’s decision-maker is her father; the groom’s decision-maker is not his father, but
He is his official teacher.
Therefore, Avitt, as Shulot's official teacher, was also the decision-maker for both men and women in this wedding.
It is worth mentioning that according to the tradition of the alliance, a person’s formal teacher is extremely important and is equivalent to his guide in life. The status of the teacher is even higher than that of the father and can decide many major events for students. Therefore, at the beginning,
At the request of his grandfather, Shlott recognized Avitt as his teacher, which was equivalent to an extremely close alliance. For the same reason, Avitt wanted to monopolize the identity of Shlott's teacher, but Orosh quietly gave up this identity.
"The Lord God has witnessed it, and the ancestors have blessed it! This is a sacred marriage, and this is the covenant!"
The old woman shouted loudly and announced to everyone. Then, she slowly turned around and walked towards Kakamazin, giving a slight greeting.
"Live up to your trust, my husband."
"Thank you, my wife."
The two of them behaved solemnly and performed courteous manners. The couple had been married for thirty or forty years. At this time, they served as the host and messenger of the wedding respectively, which also symbolized the example of a long-term marriage. Once the sacred royal marriage is combined, only death can separate them.
!
Then, Kakamazin turned around slightly, facing the direction of the great temple, and sang loudly.
"...The gods are watching the world! The wedding of the distinguished descendants of gods requires the divination of the priests and elders to obtain the blessings of the gods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant who was good at running ran out of the king's palace with a torch in his hand, and quickly ran towards the great temple. He brought two wooden boards with pictures engraved on them, and on the wooden boards were the graphic names of the parties to the marriage.
, used by temple priests to predict good and bad luck.
Soon, a complicated sacrificial ceremony was held in the big temple. The blazing sacred fire was lit, and the curling sacred smoke rose. The high priest wore black sacrificial robes, and together with five priests and elders, sang and danced around the sacred fire.
Two wooden boards with names engraved on them were thrown into the fire, burning and turning into smoke, telling the Lord God the identities of the two parties to the marriage. Then, a precious tiger bone and a rare eagle bone were thrown into the fire at the same time, burning out different shapes.
of cracks.
The chants of the priests and elders were simple and desolate, echoing in the temple area, accompanied by the prayers of the low-level priests. The sacred atmosphere lingered in the hearts of everyone. After a moment, the high priest, wearing special gloves, took out two bones from the fire
.He looked at it carefully for a moment and then announced happily.
"Good luck! The Lord God has sent down his will to bless the sacred marriage!"
"Good luck! Blessings from the Lord God! Good luck!..."
The attendant once again held the torch and ran all the way from the big temple. As he ran, he shouted loudly and announced to everyone the good news of the divination, and in a moment he arrived in front of the king's palace.
"The high priest personally divined, and the marriage will be auspicious! The sacred marriage, blessed by the Lord God, will continue from the human world to the kingdom of God!"
With a smile on his face, Kakamatsu announced loudly. Then, he waved gently, and several guards held torches high and rushed to various parts of the capital. They wanted to tell the people of the whole city the same good news.
Mexicans believe in ghosts and gods and are superstitious about omens. Before holding important events, they will seek divination from priests. Generally speaking, the results of divination are generally good, good, small, and last, and rarely bad. If it is during the wedding
If there is bad luck in the divination, the wedding will be delayed or even cancelled. Of course, today's royal wedding is divined by the high priest with the highest status and the most powerful power, so this possibility will never happen!
As the messenger's good news spread, cheers of joy rang out from all over the lake capital. Kakamazin smiled kindly, raised his hands high, and declared in a deep voice again.
"...The warriors surrender to the royal family! The sacred royal wedding will bring about the continuation of divinity and the glory of the royal family. Noble warriors, come forward to dance and celebrate!"
"Dong dong dong!"
As soon as Kakamazin finished speaking, the low sound of war drums sounded in the palace area. A thousand eagle warriors and a thousand jaguar warriors, all wearing gorgeous battle clothes, danced fiercely to the rhythm of the drums.
war club and shield.
"Ho! Ho! Praise the Lord God! Praise the King! Praise the Holy Wedding!..."
Two thousand noble battle groups danced while making beastly roars and shouts, singing the glory of the king and praising the royal wedding.
In the Mexica Alliance, only the most noble royal weddings can allow the noble war groups to perform dances to celebrate. This link also shows the majesty of the royal family and reflects the king's control over the warriors! Commanding thousands of eagles to fight with the Americas
The tiger warrior performed a dance for the wedding of the princess and His Highness. If it were a weak king, he would never be able to do it.
Avit sat high on the throne, looking at the dancing noble warriors, and nodded with satisfaction. He held the strong staff tightly and felt the supreme royal power in his hand, which was more than any of the ancestors of the alliance! The pride of controlling the world was in his chest
The excitement slightly weakened the sadness of the daughter's marriage.
Listening to the passionate war songs of the noble warriors, the envoys from all the states in front of the king's palace changed their colors. The royal power of the Mexica Alliance became more and more powerful, and the king of the Mexica people became more noble and dangerous.
The warrior's dance lasted for a full quarter of an hour before the passionate war drums gradually subsided. The next part will be even more shocking.
Kakamazin looked solemn and raised his scepter high. He stared in the direction of the great temple, as if waiting for something.
"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!..."
Thirty-six wooden cannons were fired at the same time, roaring like thunder into the vast sky! The continuous thunder spread all the way to Lake Texcoco, causing the entire capital to fall into silence.
Hearing the sound of the cannon, Kakamatsu nodded slightly. Then, with a majestic expression, he announced loudly.
"...The Lord God sends down the power of flying! The glory of the Lord God spreads from the sky, and the sacred wedding is held on the earth. And between heaven and earth, there is the heart of the god flying high. That is the coming of a miracle!"
There was silence everywhere, and the vast capital city fell silent for an instant. Shortly after the sound of cannons, a huge flying strange object slowly rose from the top of the more than 60-meter-long temple under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of people.
The huge strange object was shaped like a ball, with a bright red heart painted on the surface, the emblem of the main god engraved around it, and a burning fire at the bottom. Then, it flew higher and higher, and amid countless shocks, awes, admirations, and yearnings,
With fear and dull eyes, he flew into the sky!
"Ah! What is this?!"
"It's the heart of the gods!..."
"The Lord God sends down his divine power to bless the sacred wedding!"
Seeing the miracle flying into the sky, the people in the capital turned pale with awe, and the envoys from various states were shocked and silent. After a moment, thunderous shouts suddenly broke out, even more intense than the sound of cannons!
"A miracle, a miracle! A miracle has come!..."
Under the miracle, hundreds of thousands of people shouted in awe, roared with excitement, and even howled in fear!... The community priests shouted loudly, telling about the blessings of the Lord God, leading thousands of believers. Before long, hundreds of thousands of people
The surging voices gradually gathered and turned into fanatical and pious shouts!
"Praise the Lord God! God bless the wedding! Praise the Lord God!! God bless the wedding!!..."
