Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters bloody sacrifice
Earthquakes, floods, and a huge total solar eclipse hung in the blood-red sky.
An evil stone altar engraved with ancient symbols. A brown-haired woman wearing a mask of feathers, gems and a golden snake lay naked on the rough altar. The noisy shouts and the light of the torch could not illuminate the darkness of the stone steps under the altar.
The red leaves fell like a heavy rain. The giant emerald snake with wings and a crown wrapped around the woman's body like a vine, with fangs and a big mouth, making threatening hissing sounds to the surroundings. Those dark eyes
There was a circle of golden light around the edge of the snake's eyes, just like the total solar eclipse at this moment. The giant snake did not prevent the obsidian dagger decorated with gold and emerald from piercing the skin and muscles, and the blood flowed to the stone platform without any hindrance.
Above. The giant snake looked at him with sad eyes, then raised its head and let out a painful roar that could only be heard in the sea of souls.
Wanda Maximoff quickly held Salomon's arm and tried her best to prevent him from falling. She felt that under the thin clothes, Salomon's blood vessels and muscles were making dull sounds under the action of adrenaline.
The explosion, she didn't know what Salomon saw that caused his mood to change so much. "I didn't see such a thing." He looked a little pale, patted Wanda on the shoulder, and signaled to her
You can stand on your own. "If my plan works out, this shouldn't happen!"
Ms. Calamity pulled away her fingers, wiped the sweat from Salomon's forehead, and then put it in her mouth to taste it.
"You are healthy, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing." No one knows where her topic went, and she seemed to have returned to her crazy state. Ms. Disaster shouted loudly as she walked towards her room.
Said, "No one can see everything! I want to watch "Antiques Roadshow". There will be no more antiques in the future. Will they be crushed by bullets and tracks? Burned by the golden tyrant! Warriors with dirty power flowing in their blood will set foot on every piece of land.
Land! Cannons replace plows, guns and swords replace sickles! Cherish the present, friends, there will be only war in the future!"
She wore a blind mask, but she dexterously bypassed the incense burners and decorations on the road, as if she could still see. It's just that what everyone in the temple is concerned about now is not the state of the crazy woman, but
Salomon - Ever since Ms. Calamity put her finger on his forehead, something was wrong with him. The mystics in the temple all have good knowledge of arcane arts, but under normal circumstances they cannot pass Salomon.
The changes in the aura around Meng could read his emotions and thoughts, because he had extremely powerful protection measures for his brain. However, this time, Master Daniel saw a change in his aura, changing sharply from blue to red.
It was also accompanied by lightning. Although it was only for a moment, it could prove that what Salomon saw was so shocking that he was so angry and frightened that he could not protect his brain.
However, Salomon has always been one of the best mystics of Karma Taj. He adjusted his emotions so quickly that other mystics could no longer see his thoughts. Wanda received the basic education from Salomon.
Provided by Salomon, she also learned the second vision of the mystics, and she also saw Salomon's emotional changes.
Salomon frowned and carefully recalled the scenes that Ms. Calamity led him to see.
"What did you see?" Wanda asked worriedly, "Is it scary?"
"I can't say, dear. Quetzalcoatl is the thread entangled with Lara Croft's fate, and everything related to her needs to be carefully considered." Salomon shook his head, "But you have to know that prophecy is just a kind of
It's a possibility that can be used as a reference rather than a fact that will definitely happen. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Since Ms. Calamity gave me the hint, I have to find a way to deal with it." He patted Master Daniel on the shoulder,
Looking at the other mystics in the temple, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's continue working."
Salomon walked quickly towards the fixed portal of the temple, and Wanda quickly followed.
"What are you going to do?" she asked. "Are you going to find Lara Croft?"
"No, Wanda, you still need to learn more prophecy stories." Salomon rubbed his eyes, "Sometimes our actions are the motivation for the prophecy. Calm down, this kind of thing is very common."
"What the hell!" Salomon cursed in a low voice while flipping through the books.
The legend of Quetzalcoatl is complicated and has many versions, including the Mayan phantom snake Kukulkan, the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, and if you go back further, there is the Orme
The Quetzalcoatl of the Quetzalcoatl civilization, as well as the Waksaklahun Uba Ken believed in by a large number of other ancient civilizations in Central America, whose powers range from the wind god to the sun god, and from the Yucatan Peninsula
With the ancient city of Chichen Itza as the center, it spread to Guatemala, Uxmal, Mayapan and other places.
Legend has it that the Aztec gods will create the next world after the destruction of the old world. The current world is the fifth world that was born after this process. As the center of the world, it represents the world itself to protect the prosperity of life.
It is the sun, and Quetzalcoatl is regarded as the sun of the second world that guides the sun of the fifth world. The five suns carved on the Sun Stone in Mexico City now represent the five worlds, including
The entire world from the past to the present expresses the world view of Mesoamerican beliefs - that is, destruction and creation, death and birth. The world is constantly repeating the process of destruction and creation. However, no matter which belief it is, Quetzalcoatl will be involved.
Until the appearance of the ruler Topilqin, the demigod incarnation of Quetzalcoatl in Aztec mythology, the bloody priests of Quetzalcoatl slowly stopped and replaced the blood and heart with flowers and butterflies.
.
However, Salomon would not believe that this kind of thing really has anything to do with Quetzalcoatl. Blood sacrifice is the most effective and direct way to provide power to the gods. No extradimensional being will give up this way of gaining faith.
The old enemy of Quetzalcoatl, Quetzalcoatl, who has been trying to revive the blood sacrifice, the brotherly dispute between Quetzalcoatl and the god of darkness, Tezcatlipoca, may actually be a real extradimensional creature.
This is malicious speculation, and Salomon doesn't mind using the worst ideas to speculate on all extradimensional creatures.
Salomon was looking for information about Quetzalcoatl's sacrifice to himself, but after searching over and over again, he only found that Topil's willpower collapsed after taking tequila, and he had a relationship with his sister, and then the golden age ended and bloody sacrifices returned.
The beautiful city of Tula was burned. In some mythological stories, Topilchen sacrificed himself, and his heart turned into a morning star and rose into the sky. Others said that he went to the mythical country of Traparan. But no matter where it was,
According to various theories, Topilchen had predicted that one day he would return to destroy his enemies and rebuild a pious country.
That day was the "Day of the Reeds" when Quetzalcoatl promised to return.
If Salomon's guess is correct, Laura lying on the stone bed should be performing a ceremony on behalf of the human god (with an honorable status, not a bad human sacrifice, which is Salomon's only comfort now). The sun is called "
"Iparni Mowani" means "things that people rely on for survival". In the past, people believed that the sun was the source of all vitality in the world, because it gave life to the world, and in return it also received life from the world. Since
The foundation and symbol of life is the heart, so the hearts of humans and animals are sacrificed to the sun to keep it alive in the sky.
Salomon was not surprised at all that there were twists and turns in this matter. He just felt that he had not done enough.
