The wind in the forest is warm and the grass on the road is smoky. To the southwest of the holy mountain, there is a hot spring that is rarely inhabited. Flowers are blooming in the valley, and beautiful trees are shading beside the spring. The springs in the mountains are evaporating heat, and white mist rises in the wind.
Clouds and smoke are rising. At a glance, the grass and trees are covered, and the clouds are rising and glowing. The gauze-like mist separates the vast world, leaving only a pool of comfortable hot springs, bringing freedom from the dust.
Migratory birds flew north and strayed into the peach garden. A pair of egrets fell from the sky, rested by the warm spring water, and sang softly. The male egret stretched out its feathers, flapped its wings, and made a proud posture. The female egret bent her neck.
Surrounded by each other, their long beaks meet, their wings are folded, and their graceful feathers are combed. This is a rare sight in early autumn. The two herons resonate with each other, making people happy.
The egrets were happily sitting by the stream. The egrets were playing in the water, and the water vapor was dispersed in the wind. The clouds and mist suddenly rose, and only the shadows of the flying birds appeared. It was like a fairyland scenery, which made people look away and relieve their worries. After a while, there were bursts of joyful singing.
As it rises, the spring water falls drop by drop. Han E sings a long song, as if crying or laughing, and the lingering sound echoes around the beam; Liezi walks against the wind, calmly praises goodness, and travels through the endless world...
Lingering in the water, tirelessly. At this moment, Shulot forgot the troubles of the world. He walked in the water, searching for the songs of birds, but he was startled by a group of gulls and herons. The singing suddenly stopped, and water vapor was rising in the wind.
, with a clear cry of fluttering wings. Then, the egrets crossed their wings and flew together to the sky, leaving only a faint singing sound.
After a while, the young man looked at the graceful and wonderful scenery, and suddenly felt a little poetic. He smiled slightly, accompanied his delicate lover, and recited happily.
"I laughed when I heard the orioles singing in the green willows, and when I lay down and watched the egrets ascending to the blue sky... If I hadn't traveled to the mountains, where would I have seen such beautiful scenery? It's really too beautiful!"
Alyssa was light and airy, as if she were stepping on clouds, and looked at the sky absentmindedly. She listened to her lover's poems, and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt ashamed and annoyed, and bit her lover's shoulder hard.
"Bad guy...Bad brother! What kind of poems are you reading?..."
"Haha, just some landscape poems! No, creation is so magical, and the gift of the goddess of spring is so wonderful, let me think of a more appropriate one..."
Shulot's face remained unchanged and he smiled. His shoulder was bitten a lot, so it didn't hurt much. And he had studied for many years and mastered two native languages. Naturally, he could translate poems easily. Not only was he honest and elegant,
It can also be adapted to local conditions... The young man pondered for a while, then smiled and spoke again.
"...The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room is deep with flowers and trees...Haha! The winding path leads to a secluded place, with deep flowers and trees. Hummingbirds sing happily, and photos are taken in the hot springs. Of course, the most beautiful and unforgettable thing is the singing of the egret...
Ah! Don’t bite your ears..."
Alyssa was so angry that she couldn't let go like a sloth. She was nibbling on her lover's ear as if she was eating a delicious leaf. After a while, she let go, blushing and feeling ashamed.
Annoyed, he buried his head in complaint.
"It's broad daylight...Xulot, you can't do this next time!..."
"Ah? The hot spring is secluded and there are samurai on guard all around, so don't worry. Besides, you just..."
"Shulote!..."
"Ah, it's all up to you!..."
The two laughed and joked for a while, and finally got up from the hot spring. Then, under the service of the maid, the two put on loose robes, lay on the cotton blanket by the spring, ate some preserved fruits to replenish their strength, and chatted.
Serious topic.
"Xulot, you said last time that all things in the world can be divided into moving animals, non-moving plants, and invisible microorganisms. Animals and plants are both composed of a kind of tiny cells. And
Are microorganisms the source of our illnesses?”
Alyssa tilted her head, blinked, and looked at her lover next to her.
"Exactly! Fish and birds, monkeys and humans are all animals. Flowers and grass, corn and cocoa are all plants. And the smut fungus that the alliance nobles love is a microorganism."
Shulot said with a gentle smile.
"Most of the microorganisms are harmless to humans. There are tens of thousands of symbiotic flora in our bodies that help us digest food...and the disease-causing microorganisms are mainly certain single-cell bacteria.
and smaller, cell-eating viruses."
"Well, bacteria and viruses, bad cells and disease-causing toxins?..."
"Well... they are like, just like invisible, moving dust. However, they are smaller than dust and can enter the human body and damage our vitality!"
Hearing this, Alyssa was a little confused. She opened her eyes wide and looked thoughtful.
"Xulot, these living dust are so tiny, how can they make strong people sick?"
"Well, that's a good question. It proves that you are thinking."
Shulot straightened up, sat cross-legged on the blanket, and carefully organized his words. Now that he has decided to make Alyssa the general director of the medical institute, responsible for the research and prevention of epidemics, then, all common sense about medicine and the human body
, he all needs to give professors as the basis for medical research.
In this era, compared with the European church rule and the Neo-Confucianism dominance of the Celestial Dynasty, the Mesoamerican tradition of human sacrifice and familiarity with human anatomy were more suitable for the development of modern medicine.
Shulot thought for a moment and looked at the sky. It was past noon. He waved and called Naxiu, who was in charge of the personal guards.
"Na Xiu, what kind of meat are you preparing tonight?"
"Your Highness, the Sun Temple sent people to deliver some turkeys and hares. The warriors were hunting in the mountains and also caught a wild deer."
"very good!"
Hearing this, Shulot nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Have people bring wild deer and turkeys, and prepare a few obsidian daggers of different sizes. In addition, bring the crystal magnifying glass newly made by the lapidary."
"Do your will!"
The cold female warrior lowered her head and saluted. Her eyes were deep, scanning His Highness's cheetah-like body, and she quietly licked her lips. Then, she walked backwards and left, disappearing in a moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alyssa looked thoughtfully at the graceful back of the female warrior and asked softly.
"Shullot, what do you want deer and turkey for?"
"Of course it's for lectures. In our human body, there are many organs that work together to form certain clusters, which can be called 'systems' in the human body. The so-called system is a whole that is interconnected and works together. Each
The system is responsible for a specific activity of the human body, such as movement, blood supply, respiration, digestion, reproduction, immunity... And the way germs invade the human body, simply put, is to destroy specific systems in the human body... As for
How to prevent and treat diseases is also related to these systems. In animals, although these systems are somewhat different from those in humans, they also exist. I will dissect them and show you one by one."
Shulot smiled slightly. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice.
"Alyssa, are you afraid of blood?"
"Don't be afraid! Shulot, my father once taught me how to sacrifice wolf cubs and deer. In the future, I will also host family sacrifices for you, so how can I be afraid of blood?"
Alyssa smiled and shook her head. Few noble women in the alliance were afraid of blood. Because in tradition, blood contains vitality and is also the first choice for sacrifices to the gods.
"Good! What a good wife!"
Shulot smiled and nodded. He recalled the question he had just asked and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
In this era, the alliance's requirements for noble women are not to be demure and dignified, not to leave the front door, or to step forward from the second door. All ministries in the world regard war as their top priority and sacrifice as their daily activity. Many noble women will, like warriors,
They practice long sticks and daggers, learn bows and arrows, and spear-throwing, and even participate in battles and hunting. In addition to practicing martial arts, older noble ladies need to learn cooking, weaving, and farming, and master vital skills in order to take care of the family.
Sacrifice ceremony.
Alyssa's grandmother, Montezuma's daughter, Atotostelli, was a royal princess who held a magic staff and a long dagger at her waist, and once sacrificed enemy prisoners with her own hands. Her image is roughly the same as that of the Shang Dynasty
The mother Xinfu is so similar that she is revered by the Mexica people.
The two chatted and laughed for a few moments, then Naxiu hurried over with several warriors. The warriors erected a stand, set up a tied wild deer, and tied up two fluttering turkeys.
Then, Shulot stood up and came to the wild deer. With a calm face, he took the sharp obsidian dagger from Naxiu's hand, lightly scratched the deer's skin twice, and nodded to express his satisfaction. Obsidian scalpel
It has a sharper and more precise cutting edge and is an excellent tool for fine dissection. Then, he stretched out his hand on the wild deer, groped for a moment, and felt the location of the wild deer's heart, which was approximately above the front legs of the front half of the body.
"Alyssa, take two steps back and don't let the blood splash into your eyes."
After giving instructions to his lover, Shulot calmly stretched out his hand. He dropped the sharp dagger and cut it open steadily, like a sacred sacrifice.
