Chapter One Thousand Ninety-Five: Thirty Beats with a Stick and the Minister of Political Affairs
"The ancestors gave me the magic staff, which will spur you on! Shulot, you are a descendant of Akamapi Chitli, and we have a common ancestor. In terms of seniority, I am your uncle! ...These twelve strokes are
For the ancestors of all generations, for Acamapichtli, Huitzilvitel, Chimalpopoca, Iscoatel, Montezuma, Asiacatel, and the six Trochititlans
Fight first!"
"Ah! The ancestors of the past generations are on top, and the descendants of Shulot are wrong!...Ah!"
"The Lord God has given me divine power to spread His glory! Shulot, you have received divine favor and the Lord God has enlightened you, but you are obsessed with the goddess of spring and indulge in the goddess's sacrifice. In terms of divinity, I am the incarnation of the sun god.
God King!…These six blows are for the supreme Lord God!”
"Ah! By the Lord, Priest Shulot was wrong!...Ah!"
"The elder inherits the rights of our clan and manages the entire Mexica royal family! Xiulote, the elder has high hopes for you and paved the way for you. He sacrificed Kechar and many great nobles, and even left a legacy... In
In the royal family, I am your father-in-law!...These six blows are exactly for the expectations of the elders and for the majesty of the royal family!"
"Ah! Elder!... Great-grandson Shulot... I... was wrong..."
"The high priest asked me to be your teacher! Shulot, in the past twelve years, I have patiently taught you, sealed the land in the lake to you, and even married my eldest daughter Alyssa.
You, make your eldest son Xiuhua the sun!... I am your teacher, and I have always regarded you as my most outstanding student and my child! And the high priest sacrificed everything for you, until he gave up
I took my life!...These last six strokes are for me as a teacher, for your grandfather, and for the responsibility you bear, to bear heavy responsibility on you!..."
"Ah! Grandfather!...Teacher!...Me?...I...wuwu...I was really wrong!..."
The main hall of the King's Palace was empty, with only two kings standing and kneeling. God King Avit's face was full of anger, and he shouted harshly, with excited regret in his voice. He raised the magic staff in his hand high, and struck hard again and again.
The blow hit Shulot's back, leaving scars of beatings one after another!
Xiulote knelt on the ground, resisting the pain in his back. He listened to Avitt's admonishment, and when he heard the names of the elder and his grandfather, he felt real shame on his face, and tears could not stop flowing out.
"I have failed my elders' high expectations, I have failed my grandfather's efforts, and I have failed my teacher's teachings... I... I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't be so indulgent, so self-destructive..."
"Xulot, you are so self-destructive, who can you deserve?!... You are the eagle of the royal family, you are the king of the kingdom in the lake! Even if you stay in the capital city of the lake, you are still the god of death and the wolf father under one person!...More
What's more, you are still the father of the future sun, and you must teach and guide Yu Xiuhua!..."
Avitt scolded angrily, with a look of regret on his face. He waved the ancestral staff and hit Shulot thirty times, leaving many scars on Shulot, with his skin and flesh torn open, and then he vented the anger in his heart.
Then, he looked at the tearful Shulot, at his heroic but decadent student, and at those eyes that were ashamed and remorseful. He stared carefully for a long time, and on that young face full of tears,
There is no trace of resentment or dissatisfaction, and even the once high-spirited kingly spirit has disappeared in two months of indulgence and waste...
After a while, Avitt dropped the staff with a clang and let out a long sigh.
"Hey! Witness the ancestors and the Lord God! ... Xiulote, my child, I tell you the truth! I called you back to the capital and handed over your inheritance to Xiuhua. I just want you to feel at ease and rest under my wings.
Next, wait patiently for more than ten years!... I know that you are a good boy, you obey me, and I believe in you... But as a king, even if I can trust you, how can I trust those around you?
Where are the generals and ministers of the kingdom?..."
"Xulot, I just want you to stay in the capital, be the feathers and wings of the divine eagle, and assist me in my great cause of unifying the world, just like you did many years ago!...Are you now depressed and indulgent, and don't want to live? You
Are you disappointed in me and desperate for yourself?... But I didn't deprive you of your fiefdom and status, or put you in prison... No matter what, you are my most outstanding student, my respected nephew and son-in-law! I
But I never thought that I would let you die!…”
"Ah!... God King... No, teacher... I... don't dare to complain to you... I'm just a little disappointed... I want to indulge and vent... It's just those priestess rituals. Once you indulge in them, you can't control yourself... It's me
Wrong, teacher!…”
Shulot lowered his head, shed tears, and knelt in the hall. Facing the majestic teacher, he looked ashamed and his voice gradually became smaller, like a child who had made a mistake and was at a loss... and when he saw
At this scene, Avitt's mind was racing with thoughts, and he once again recalled the ignorant and enlightened young man more than ten years ago, and the warmth that he had not thought of for a long time...
"Hey!...The rituals of the priests of the Goddess of Spring are filled with the charming divinity of the goddess. Their soul-eating and bone-destroying tricks impressed even me. Not to mention that when you were young and strong, you were covered in
The flames can't be suppressed at all... The Lord God witnesses! Shulot, from now on, you are not allowed to go to the Goddess Temple!... I will send a messenger to tell the chief priest of the Goddess Temple that you are not allowed to hold sacrifices anymore!..."
"Yes! I listen to you, teacher...I will never hold another ceremony!..."
"Well, I will supervise you."
Avitt nodded, his expression solemn. The anger and regret just now disappeared from his face, leaving only a trace of warm memories in his heart. He looked at the obedient student kneeling in front of him, and heard the fear in his voice.
and gratitude, and also truly grasps Shulot's emotions and thoughts.
At this moment, since his separation at the foot of Tree Snake City three and a half years ago, he once again felt that he was in control of his student. Whether it was the trapped body of the other party left in the capital, or he could sense it at this moment
His inner emotions!... The alertness and caution in his heart quietly retreated. Because this is no longer a political threat and opponent, but a son-in-law and outstanding assistant in the royal family that he values ...
"Witness the Lord God! Shulot, you can realize your mistakes and correct them in time... I am very happy! I thought about it, you are still a little too idle in the lake capital... Some royal central affairs can indeed be handed over
Made for you!…”
Avitt stretched out his hand and shook Xurot's hair. Then, he moved his hands and actually held Xurot's face and wiped the student's tears.
"Ah! Teacher?..."
Feeling this rare warmth, Shulot was a little surprised and at a loss. He looked touched, raised his head, and glanced at his teacher Avitt, just like the student he once admired.
"Teacher...I...what can I do for you?..."
"Well, let me think about it...Xulot, you can do a lot. At least, you should be one of the ministers beside me..."
