After looking up at the golden statue standing on the obsidian altar, he silently walked out of the huge stone door of the temple facing the square, and came to the square circular corridor supported by 12 stone pillars.
Ivanka Trump was detained here by two native Indians.
Looking at Ivanka kneeling on the stone platform with her hands tied behind her back, Liu Dong quietly walked over from behind.
After approaching two meters, Liu Dong exerted his strength on his feet and came up behind the two natives like a gliding lightning. He held his breath in his left back hands and spat on the Jade Pillow point behind their heads. The two of them almost groaned continuously.
Without even making a sound, he fell down softly.
Seeing this strange situation, Ivanka immediately raised her head after being startled.
When she saw Liu Dong behind her, the beauty's face showed unspeakable excitement and excitement, and her eyes were filled with tears. However, her mouth was tightly blocked by a piece of cloth, making it difficult to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Dong quickly took out the strip of cloth blocking her mouth and cut off the rope tied to her hands behind her back.
"Wow……!"
Ivanka, who was frightened and aggrieved, immediately threw herself into Liu Dong's arms and burst into tears as soon as she was freed.
She has always been the little princess in her family since she was a child. Although she is relatively independent under the education of her parents, she has never encountered the threats of life and death ￥… Chang￥… Feng ￥… Wen ￥… This time it really scared her
broken.
But Liu Dong quickly covered the other person's mouth, and then whispered in his ear: "My sister-in-law, you must not make a sound, there are many people down there!"
As soon as Liu Dong reminded me, Ivanka immediately thought of the current situation of the two of them. There was a hint of fear in her eyes. Then she nodded lightly towards Liu Dong.
Seeing this, Liu Dong quickly put down his hand.
"Liu Dong, I knew you would come to save me!"
Ivanka hugged Liu Dong's arm tightly, as if she had found her most solid support.
"Of course I will come to rescue you, but how did you get caught by them? Didn't I tell you to hide in the cave and not come out?" Liu Dong whispered.
Ivanka's face turned red, "I'm afraid of snakes. There are snakes in that cave!"
Liu Dong was speechless for a while. He probably scared himself. When he left Ivanka in the cave, he had already used the relic Yuan Guang to search the surrounding 500 meters, especially the cave. There were no rattlesnakes at all.
exist!
Of course, all of this has passed now, and it's useless to say more.
"Let's go!" Liu Dong said.
"Yes!" Ivanka nodded obediently!
She had long wanted to leave this hellish place.
However, the natives in the square would inevitably notice that they could only leave through the back of the temple. However, when they walked into the temple, Ivanka also noticed the golden statue enshrined on the obsidian platform in the center of the temple!
"Huh?"
"What? Do you know her?" Looking at Ivanka's curious look, Liu Dong couldn't help but ask.
"Um!"
Ivanka nodded. "The name of this statue is 'Hilone', and he is the corn god in the Aztec civilization!"
"Aztec civilization?"
Liu Dong is no stranger to this famous ancient civilization in America.
The Aztec civilization is an ancient Mexican civilization that existed in the 14th and 16th centuries. Together with the Inca civilization and the Mayan civilization, it is also known as the three major ancient civilizations in Central and South America.
The Aztecs were the last characters on the cultural stage of ancient Mexico. They created the glorious Aztec civilization and ushered in the most prosperous period of the Aztec nation.
It's a pity that this civilization was destroyed by Spanish colonists from Europe and the 'smallpox' virus in its most glorious period!
Seeing the surprise on Liu Dong's face, Ivanka suddenly became excited, "Liu Dong, I know, I know!"
"What do you know?"
This was the first time Liu Dong saw the quiet Ivanka so excited, almost to the point of dancing.
"This is 'Aztlan', this must be 'Aztlan'!" Ivanka had a fanatical look on her face.
"Ivanka, calm down!"
But Liu Dong's reminders and comforts had no effect, and Ivanka had obviously fallen into excitement and fanaticism.
So after shouting a few words, Liu Dong said nothing more and allowed Ivanka to pour out the information she knew about Aztlan like a barrage.
…
The Aztecs were originally a tribe belonging to the Nahua language family with a low level of development. They later rose rapidly by absorbing and integrating the excellent cultural traditions of other Indians in the area.
Between the 11th and 12th centuries AD, they moved into the Central Valley of Mexico from the north and built the city of Tenochtitlan on the western island of Lake Texcoco in 1325. In 1426, the Aztecs and Texcoco, Tela
Copán formed the "Aztec Alliance", with Aztec King Izcoatl as its leader. Its power grew and it established dominance in the valley.
The successor Montezuma I and subsequent kings continued to use foreign troops and expand territory. By the beginning of the 16th century, its territory had reached the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific coast in the east and west, bordering Chichimec in the north and reaching today's Guatemala in the south.
, with a population of about 3 million, developed to its peak.
In August 1521, the Spanish occupied Tenochtitlan, massacred the city, completely destroyed it, and later built Mexico City on its ruins.
"...After the Spanish destroyed Tenochtitlan, they did not find the treasures that the Aztecs had accumulated over hundreds of years. Later, they learned from an Aztec noble they captured that the treasures of the empire were
They are all hidden in their holy land 'Aztlan'!" Ivanka said excitedly.
"...After that, after the Spaniards gained hegemony in Central America, they never gave up the search for 'Aztlan', because in this holy city of the Aztecs not only did all the Aztec civilization
Treasures, and the secrets of the seven golden cities of Cibola!”
"Seven Golden Cities of Sivola?" Liu Dong is also very sensitive to the word treasure now, because treasure is wealth, and the pursuit of wealth is human nature.
"That's right!" Ivanka said excitedly.
“Around the 8th century, the Arabs in North Africa organized an army to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and swept across Spain. When the Arab army attacked the city of Melia, seven bishops in the city took a boat to prevent the church property in the city from falling into the hands of the pagans.
Escaped from the city of Melia. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Arab navy, these seven bishops drifted aimlessly on the sea in a boat, and finally disappeared into the vast sea."
"A few years later, news came that these seven bishops came to an unknown mysterious continent by boat. On the vast land, they used the gold and silver treasures they brought to build seven beautiful cities.
, the city is full of gold and precious stones. Two of these seven golden cities are named "Civola" and "Quivira"."
"This legend has been popular on the European continent for centuries, making countless explorers crazy. After Columbus discovered the New World, a large number of explorers went to the Americas. Even the establishment of Arizona is related to these seven golden cities!" Ivanka
road.
"I guess these are all legends. If these seven golden cities really exist, how is it possible that no one has discovered them until now!"
Liu Dong shook his head. There are many legends similar to treasures in history. For example, in "Marco Polo's Travels", there is a rumor that there is gold and silver all over Eastern China, but what is the reality?
Now Liu Dong has reason to suspect that the so-called Seven Golden Cities of Civola are the same thing as "The Travels of Marco Polo". They are probably one of the methods used by the rulers to drive adventurers to collect wealth for them.
If there were no legends about these treasures, it is estimated that the development of the American continent would never have been as fast as recorded in history.
Countless facts have proven that the driving force of wealth is more effective than simple national decrees.
"Before I came here, I thought these were all legends, but you saw the seven pyramids outside! According to the clues found by the Spaniards in Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, the Aztec
The Croats destroyed seven wealthy cities in 'Gaston Bay', and after looting the cities, they used the loot to build the seven pyramids of the holy city of 'Aztlan'!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong frowned. He hadn't paid attention just now. Now after listening to Ivanka, Liu Dong found that he found a lot of gold and silver utensils in this temple dedicated to the corn god 'Hilone'.
They all have an obvious European style, and the vast palace on the east side of the seven pyramids outside has some European architectural styles. It is obvious that the Aztecs once absorbed some culture from Europe during the development of civilization!
Of course, it is still unknown whether Liu Dong is the so-called "Seven Golden Cities of Siboola", because this requires more evidence to prove.
While Liu Dong was thinking, Ivanka had already walked to the golden mural next to him and looked at it.
"Liu Dong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look, this is the language of the Aztecs!" Ivanka said, pointing to some small gold murals on the wall.
"Do you understand?" Liu Dong frowned. It was too difficult for him to understand these abstract hieroglyphs without any foundation.
"Well, I have learned some Aztec pictorial characters and can recognize some of them!" Ivanka said excitedly.
"You still study ancient culture?"
"A personal hobby!"
Perhaps seeing Liu Dong's surprise, Ivanka wrinkled her little nose proudly.
Liu Dong shook his head. I'm afraid not many beautiful girls like Ivanka Trump like to study complex and boring ancient culture! Of course, the person in front of him is an exception. Looking at her excited look, he probably
They even forgot that the two of them were in danger now.
