The red sun sets in the west, reflecting the setting sun in the sea, and also dyes the jungle along the coast red. Between the coast of the jungle, the wide Tonalá River is reflecting the deep green forests along the way, floating with quiet golden waves.
.The long river runs through the dense jungle, flows through a hidden and busy tribal village, and then flows northward into the endless and wide Gulf of Mexico.
In the Nahua language, "Tonalá" means "the place where the sun rises." Therefore, the "Tonalá River" can also be called the "Sunrise River." And the "Tonalá" at the mouth of the river enters the sea.
"Tonala Village" is located eighty miles east of Hidden Snake City, and can also be called "Sunrise Village". The Tonala Sunrise River meanders for more than 600 miles from south to north.
It is the natural dividing line between the states of Tabasco and Tabasco, and is also one of the first half of the waterway connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Coast.
Sixty or seventy miles upstream from the Gulf of Mexico in the north and the mouth of the Sunrise River, you will find the ruins of the second ancient city of the Olmec era more than 2,000 years ago, La Venta. Further south
Two to three hundred miles upstream is Malpasito, an ancient sacrificial city-state of the Zoque tribes in the mountains and forests, which has been inherited for more than 700 years. Going further south from Pingshui City, you pass by the mighty Great Lake (Malpaso).
Another two to three hundred miles away is the sacred source of the Sunrise River, an ancient mountain city that was extremely prosperous in the classical Mayan era, and the source city (Chiapa de Corzo) that has been inherited for more than a thousand years!
Therefore, this sunrise river, which is more than 600 miles long, connects the ancient city of the Olmec era at one end and the ancient city of the classical Maya era at the other end. At the same time, it is influenced by the Olmec culture and the Mayan culture, and it is also a natural blend.
The people of the mountains and the jungle have both cultural characteristics, the semi-Mayan Zoque tribes in the mountains and forests.
The source of the Sunrise River is in the Yuanshuicheng area, which is approximately the higher part of the central Chiapa Mountains. From this area, the flow direction of the river changes from south to north, then from north to south, and merges into the grid.
The southern section of the Grijalva River system. From here, it is the second half of the waterway connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Coast. In fact, from the Grijalva River system around Yuanshui City, to the Pacific Ocean
Along the coast, the shortest river is only less than four hundred miles!
In short, the Sunrise River - the ancient city of La Venta - Pingshui City - Yuanshui City - Grijalva River, this north-south waterway of more than a thousand miles, is the world of Central America, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific coast.
The shortest path!
Since the classical Mayan era, this thousand-mile waterway has been an extremely prosperous trade channel, connecting the commodities and goods of the plateau tribes, the coastal tribes, the cloud tribes and the Mayan tribes. Five hundred years ago, the Mayan tribes
After the decline of the tribe's power, this thousands-mile-long waterway has been in the hands of the Shanlinsuoke tribe, but it has lost the prosperous trade in the classical era...
"Witness the Lord God! Papu! You and the navy of Hidden Snake City have been stationed in this water village by the Sunrise River... Are you so stupid and so ignorant that you want to seek refuge in the Suoke people in the Chiapa Mountains in the south?
Ministry? Or, you are blinded by the leaves and want to seek refuge in the Mayan states on the eastern coast?!..."
In the large wooden house in the water village of Sunrise Village, the slanting sunset shines into the dim and reddish afterglow. The forest wolf Maya Kun holds his head high and his chest is facing the red sunset, as if it is the shadow of the sun. He squints
His eyes were menacing and like hungry coyotes, staring intently at the priest Pap in front of him.
"Ahem! Lin Lang, my old friend, don't get excited..."
"Pap! With the orders from the Death Temple and the Black Wolf Leader, I will ask you one last time!...When will your navy surrender?..."
When old friends meet again, Priest Pappu is smiling, while Timberwolf Mayakun is full of ferocity. At this moment, he is alone in the water village controlled by Pappu, but there is an undisguised threat in his words.
What gave him this confidence was not only the dark green Mexica battalion commander's uniform on his body, the sun hummingbird talisman around his neck, but also his noble status as the envoy of Marshal Black Wolf under the Temple of Death, and the fact that he was sixty miles away to the west.
The vanguard of the Kingdom Legion!
"Uh... Timberwolf, my old friend... How could I be so unwise to seek refuge with the Sauk people hiding in the mountains and forests, or to surrender to the weak and divided Mayan states?... Witness the Lord God! I have already given my
My soul was dedicated to the supreme and powerful Lord God! And my loyalty was dedicated to the powerful and respected God of Death..."
Faced with Timber Wolf's merciless rebuke and questioning, Priest Pap kept smiling, without showing any dissatisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and filled Timber Wolf's glass of precious Keta with his own hands.
Xtabentun is a rare honey-vanilla wine produced in Dongfang Honghu Town. The special feature of this honey wine is that it collects the white juice flowers of the aromatic plant Xtabentun and extracts the sweet nectar.
Brewing, thus giving the mead a wonderful taste and unique aroma, it is the favorite wine of the seaside priests!
"Phew! Not bad, delicious! ...Full of it!"
Timberwolf Mayakun opened his big mouth and drank all the precious Ketabentong wine in one go. Seeing this heroic drinking method, Priest Papu's eyes flashed and his movements were a little hesitant. After a moment of hesitation, he lowered his head again,
Filled Timber Wolf with another large glass of mead!
"Haha! Delicious! Burp!..."
"Uh... Timber Wolf, do you want more?"
"Of course! Why, Pap, are you feeling distressed?"
"…no no…"
"Haha! Come again!..."
Seeing the hesitant Papu priest, Lin Lang laughed loudly, drinking one glass after another. He had rarely drunk this delicious mead before. It came from the Mayan land in the east. It was very expensive and was only available in the hidden world.
Circulated around Snake City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The change in the expression of Priest Pap next to him is not that he feels sorry for the preciousness of this kind of mead. It is just that as the mead that Maya and the priests of Hidden Serpent City share, Ketaben
Tongjiu itself has a significant calming effect, and even a slight sense of confusion, making it easier to communicate with the gods. If you drink too much...
"Haha!...Pap! Now that you have made up your mind, surrender quickly!...Don't be like a water beetle, wandering around in the pond without thinking, like a woman who can't make up her mind!...Hiccup!..."
"Well... the Lord God witnessed it! Timber wolves and water beetles may not be mindless, they are spinning around! They may also be wandering around, thinking that the shadow of the sun in the water is themselves!..."
Hearing Timber Wolf's ridicule, Priest Pappu put a smile on his face and filled Timber Wolf's glass of ketabantong wine. Then, he looked at Timber Wolf, who was shaking his head and was obviously confused, and said with a smile.
"Timberwolves, those water lily beetles are the messengers of the God of Rivers and Lakes. They run on the water so fast that they are faster than any small boat in the world!..."
"Eh? Water beetle? Dangling around?...Water lily beetle? That little thing like a louse?...Haha! What a mess! Only you priests of false gods will observe and worship the little things in the water.
Bugs! And a real seaside warrior should be like a coyote, running and biting in the jungle!..."
Timber Wolf Ma Yakun was dizzy and shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up. But the potency of this mead far exceeded its taste, and it contained more than just alcohol...
"Damn it! Is this wine so strong? Come on, fill it up again! I don't believe it... Hiccup!...His Royal Highness's royal flag has arrived at Jihu City, and has even been erected on the towering Fireworks God Mountain!... Pappu, powerful
Your Highness is waiting for your audience. This is your most precious and last chance! If you can't deal with the warriors under you, let me bring the battalion over and sacrifice all the disobedient Hidden Snake City warriors.
Sacrificed!…”
"Damn it! If you ask me, His Majesty the Death God is too merciful! Why should I give you a chance to surrender? Isn't it just over sixty miles away?...The Lord God witnesses! I led a battalion and made a one-day raid.
, it only takes one night to wipe out all of you! Wow!..."
Timber Wolf opened his tongue, his eyes gradually blurred, and even began to howl in his mouth. Seeing this wolf-like wanton madness, Priest Pap pursed his lips, and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes. He looked at Timber Wolf in silence,
Unknowingly, his hand was holding the obsidian dagger that was sacrificed at his waist.
"Haha! The seaside legion is about to be formed! I, the forest wolf, Maya Kun, will also become the battalion commander of a thousand men of the kingdom's legion, and will be officially accepted by the kingdom!...Haha! What does the chief priest of the Hidden Snake Holy City mean? If you lose the title of Coyote City Lord,
So what about the location?!... As long as I follow the black wolf leader and conquer the Mayan city-state on the eastern coast... Haha! Everything I lost before can be regained in double the amount! Wow!..."
At this moment, Lin Lang suddenly turned his head and stared at his silent old friend, as if he had some kind of beast-like intuition. He widened his eyes and looked at Priest Papu fiercely, as if he was looking at an animal that was within easy reach.
The grass rabbit. Then, he first let out a dangerous howl, and then laughed wantonly.
"Ouch! Pappu! Either surrender or die! Hahaha!..."
"…Why!…"
Hearing Lin Lang's threatening rants and seeing the other party's arrogant posture, Priest Pap was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed silently. And with this sigh, he seemed to suddenly lose all the accumulated strength and all hidden secrets.
murderous intent.
"Witness the Lord God! Lin Lang, don't worry! My navy can still be controlled... When I lead the navy to surrender to His Highness, you will share the credit! We are all old friends of the seaside tribes.
Now, it’s time to take care of each other... Well, Timber Wolf? Timber Wolf?! You pretend to be... cough! Forget it, he should be drunk. Chu Chute, take him to a nearby side room to rest! Be careful, don’t let him
The warrior leaders of Hidden Snake City saw..."
"Yes! Lord Priest!"
The leader Chu Chute nodded respectfully, supported the forest wolf Ma Yakun, and walked outside the big wooden house. The last light of the setting sun gradually turned from a deep dark red into a distant black shadow in front of him. And a low word, just at the sunset
The last breath came from behind him, and I don't know if it was told to him or to someone else.
"Cuchute, remember!..."
"From today on, don't call me Lord Priest anymore. I'm not a Quetzalcoatl priest...call me Chief Pap!..."
Hearing this, the leader Chuchute was suddenly startled. In the shadow of the evening, he stopped and did not look back at Pappu's expression. He just supported the drunken Linlang, felt the ups and downs of his heartbeat, and calmly nodded.
nodded.
"Yes! Chief Pap!...The Lord God bless us!..."
