Chapter 640: The second exploration of the kingdom, the blessing of the Mother Goddess, and the arrival of the treasure ship!
The setting sun set, leaving deep colors on the high temples. The moon rose high, casting shadows on the gorgeous palaces. Accompanied by Mayan warriors, the group climbed onto the sandy river bank and passed through the gradually empty streets.
In the market, we walked through the streets full of shacks. When the number of stone houses gradually increased, a wide square two-story palace appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The main priest Thomas was very interested and observed the street scene along the way. Although Honghu Town is not big, it has a lot of brick and stone houses. Most of the brick houses are in the inner circle where nobles and warriors gather. The proportion
There are more ancient feathered serpent cities than those of the Totonac people, and many of them are still two-story. It is obvious that the brick-making and construction technology of the Maya was quite advanced, and the people's obedience was very high, and the wealth was concentrated in the upper class.
Just on this section of the road, you can also see a small temple under construction. On the surface of the temple is a black wolf god with a red tongue. The wolf god is stepping on white silver sand under his feet and holding a stone in his hand.
A huge gem and a golden crown on his head.
"Huh? This is, this is!..."
Priest Thomas paused and suddenly thought of something. He was stunned, and the expression on his face immediately became unbearable.
"Haha! Priest from the Menghu tribe, you guessed it right!"
The warrior leader Chaha smiled, patted his chest hard, and pointed towards the small temple.
"This is the god from your Menghu tribe! The god of wealth who brings gems and bronzes, Shuluo!"
"Wealth... God of Wealth Shuluo? This is not the blind one..."
The old militiaman Chihuaco's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Haha! The God of Wealth on the plateau is really effective! She sent trading standard gems to our merchant Mayan tribes, making trade more prosperous. And as soon as we built the temple, there were big ships full of wealth, coming from the west
Come!...Come, my friendly friend, please come with me, the revered Moonwater Goddess is waiting in the palace!"
"A ship full of wealth?"
Hearing this, Chihuaco's eyes flashed. He was about to ask more questions, but he saw the warrior leader Chaha opening the cloth door of the palace, making an invitation gesture, and leading everyone in.
The masonry palace is divided into two floors. The ground floor is wide and the upper floor is slightly smaller. At this moment, dozens of kingdom warriors and sailors, accompanied by hundreds of Mayan warriors, are sitting cross-legged on the bottom floor of the palace, eating and drinking. Many people
In his arms, he really held a Mayan girl.
"Damn! These heartless turkeys!"
Chihuaco gritted his teeth and glanced fiercely at everyone present. Seeing the captain and priest of the fleet coming in, dozens of warriors and sailors were startled and hurriedly stood up from their seats with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
A kingdom warrior quickly pushed away the woman in his arms and explained hurriedly.
"Team...Captain, they forcibly invited us here..."
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
With a cold expression on his face, Chihuaco looked at the Mayan warrior standing in the palace and gave another order.
"You guys keep eating!"
While talking, a few people climbed up the stone steps to the second floor of the palace. The furnishings on this floor were much more gorgeous. The four walls were murals of gods, with feathers of various colors hanging down, and a withered statue of the Moon Goddess inlaid with gems.
Plastic.
In the tiger claws of the Moon Goddess, she held a green vial. Looking carefully, the vial turned out to be dozens of emeralds from the Kingdom of the Lake, glued together with an unknown adhesive!
"The great Mother Goddess of the Moon protects this land! If we worship her with piety and make her happy, the floods will not fall, and wealth will come with the water!"
At this moment, a Mayan divine descendant wearing a Chinese robe, a feather crown, and holding a staff is sitting on a red low seat of volcanic rock, looking seriously at everyone. He has a slender divine head and the strange eyes of a fighting cock.
, long hair coiled up like a snake, and mysterious patterns of blue and yellow.
Tikalo stood at the end, raising his brows. This was a real Mayan nobleman, in line with the oldest Mayan aesthetics.
The forehead is long and flat. It was cut out with wooden boards when the head was not yet finalized. The eyes of the fighting cock were formed when the baby was a baby, hanging a small ball swinging back and forth in front of his eyes and gazing at it all day long.
The long hair is tied up like a knot with feathers on it, just like the tail of the snake god. As for the blue pattern, it symbolizes the sky that communicates with the divine world, while the yellow pattern is the color of corn.
, praying for a good harvest from the corn god.
If you want to have such a god-like face, you have to start cultivating it from a very young age. The pain and suffering involved are beyond everyone's imagination. But such a unique appearance is also the price necessary to rule the common people! Mayan nobles
If we don't have the demeanor to be close to the gods, how can we convince the warriors and people who believe in the gods? It is impossible for Mayan ordinary people from humble backgrounds to have the ability to summon warriors and people. Because, the face of the gods alone is not enough
, he can’t get through it!
Therefore, in the thousands of years of Mayan epics, the protagonists are always the heroic gods and priests, plus outstanding noble warriors at most. But millions of ordinary people are just always busy and being busy.
The nobles drove, enslaved, and sacrificed ants. This kind of stability of the noble and humble classes was difficult to achieve by the martial Nahua tribes on the plateau.
"The true Mayan nobleman's divinity is not only on his face, but also in his mouth..."
Tikalo pondered in his heart and stared at the sitting Mayan god. Soon, the Mayan god raised his staff and welcomed him with a smile.
"Friends from the Menghu Tribe! I am a descendant of the Moon Goddess, who rules the city and all the people. Ayin, the Crocodile King, welcomes you and the wealth you bring!"
Crocodile King Ayin spoke with a smile, startling Chihuaco who was two steps away. The old militiaman took a breath and looked at the teeth in the opponent's mouth. They were trimmed and slightly curved, and the tips were sharpened with a file, just like snake teeth.
! And in the gaps of the "snake teeth", there are also small blue gems inlaid. When you open the mouth, the precious light flashes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the red tongue, the center is penetrated by a stone thorn, and then hangs a jade nail that is wide up and down and narrow in the middle. When speaking,
When the jade nail touches the teeth, it makes a divine "ding-dong" sound.
"Hiss! It's so cruel! Use a file to crush your teeth like this, then pierce your tongue and hang a jade nail... That hurts so much!..."
Looking at the shocked old militiamen who saw the face of the gods, Crocodile King Ayin was very satisfied. He smiled and waved his hands, indicating that no one needed to be polite. Then, he pondered for a moment, stood up, held the magic staff, and walked to
Next to Chihuaco, he condescended and handed the other party a sky-blue, half-palm-wide simple jade plate. The old woman with tiger claws and snake hair was engraved on the jade plate, which was the image of the Mother Goddess of the Moon.
"Friends from the Menghu Tribe! This is a token of the Moonwater Goddess, a friendship recognized by the Moon Goddess! Next, there is a welcome dinner, where friends can eat and drink to their heart's content, and there are beautiful girls waiting around... This
It’s a welcome approved by Mother Moon Goddess!”
Crocodile King Ayin showed his goodwill again with a smile. His eyes swept over the surprised people. He paused for a moment on the face of Tikalo, who was not very divine, and then looked away indifferently. Then, he slapped the magic staff in his hand hard.
There was a crisp "ding dong" on the bluestone ground. Crocodile King A Yin announced loudly without giving anyone a chance to speak.
"Friends welcomed by the Moon Goddess! The gods have already passed down the decree, which is known to the Mayan tribes along the coast. You drove a treasure ship full of gems all the way east. Following the guidance of the gods, you first docked in my city. Here.
It is the blessing of the Mother Goddess and the blessing of the God of Wealth. Come on! After the dinner, let us trade gems to our heart's content and we will all look happy!"
"What? We are Gem's fleet? Known to all the Mayan tribes along the coast?!..."
As soon as these words came out, the old militiaman was shocked and looked at the main priest next to him. Priest Tomat frowned and looked around. The Mayan warriors were holding spears and smiling kindly. Two steps away,
Tikalo smiled lightly, looked at ease, and lowered his head.
