It has become a natural cultural tourism scenic spot in later generations.
Starting from the capital of Chihuahua state, you can take a 5-hour train ride through the Copper Valley, known as the most beautiful canyon railway.
The railway was built in 1881 and was developed on the original mining route, which took nearly 90 years.
The plunderers get everything -
On the cliffs, white-spire churches, hotels, and B&Bs can be seen everywhere, as well as waterfalls in the valley and high-altitude cableways.
Occasionally, there are wealthy mansions and sky swimming pools, interspersed among the only remaining Indian indigenous villages, which makes people feel the collision between modern civilization and primitive nature.
Now, everything is quiet.
Of course, the Balance Cavalry is not a plunderer. This land will eventually belong to the indigenous people.
Balance is the giver, bringing them joy and blessings.
The 1,000 cavalry were huge, with one man and two cavalry, and heavily armed armored scouts in front to explore the way to avoid being ambushed by the frightened natives.
And soon, the two sides had an encounter.
Tahuhama people, native people of the Grand Canyon.
Zhou Li'an once blessed this place and left behind gifts of salt and "the statue of our Lord's true body".
After negotiations, the Balance Cavalry and the aboriginals came to terms with the "secret code".
There are many among the Law monks who are fluent in multiple languages, including Utah-Aztec, the Law of Language, and their own tribal languages.
The historical inheritance of the American continent ensures the origin of language.
Most of the indigenous people from various parts of Mexico immigrated from North America.
The languages have the same origin, and there may be slight differences, but after communication, the two parties soon found that they could roughly understand each other's words.
Zhou Weijun is from Hohokam.
He was a young follower selected by Niu Shi from among the Hohokam people after the Hohokam War.
Five years after the first expedition of Hexiang, he quickly mastered the law and practice, and because of his excellent language talent, he learned and summarized the language families of various places along the way, becoming a rare language expert.
"The leader of the fighting crocodile, they said that they can see the arrival of our lord Ji Ji, and are willing to surrender to Ji Ji, listen to the instructions of the gods, and serve as our guides in the Copper Valley."
"They call this place the 'Loess Cracked Land'. Continuing to the southwest, there are four canyons. The forest is getting denser and the canyons are crisscrossed by forked roads. I am afraid it is not suitable for our cavalry to travel, and there is a risk of getting lost."
The loess cracked ground is at the edge of this canyon, showing drought.
Looking from here, we can already see lush virgin jungles in the mountains in the distance.
The entire Copper Valley is composed of five canyons, all the way to the western exit of the Cordillera Mountains, Sinaloa.
The extension of the canyon water system from east to west has created Sinaloa's fertile soil and has become the main granary of Mexico.
The so-called "big leader of the fighting crocodile" is actually a young man.
He just turned 30 this year, but he is an important figure in the cavalry army.
He is from the Chishui tribe of the Modoc tribe and has a crocodile tooth necklace hanging around his neck all year round.
He was one of the first warriors to master the art of horseback riding, and he worked with Shan Shan to detect the scouts of the Modoc Chief's army who were about to attack the Tushi Valley.
The Chishui tribe takes pride in hunting crocodiles, and "Fighting Crocodile" is one of the best.
The young boy he once was has now become more stable and he is the right-hand man for mountain climbing. After the army was divided, he assumed the responsibility of the leader.
"They might trust?"
Zhou Weijun couldn't guarantee it.
Dou Crocodile added: "If you are willing to hand over your weapons, I will recognize their surrender and balanced piety. When the army is stationed, I can hunt enough food for them..."
"Tell him that our Lord has insight into all things in the world. If they have an ungodly and rebellious heart, they will only be sentenced to eternal annihilation."
The first expedition has accumulated enough experience for them.
The indigenous people are by no means stupid, they have a strong sense of territoriality, and there are many who pretend to surrender in just a few words.
The 1000 balanced cavalry are invincible in frontal combat, but they have to beware of villains plotting against them.
And before the troops were divided, the chief of the clan had already given instructions for climbing the mountain——
"I would rather kill by mistake than inflict casualties on my balanced warriors."
Going deep into the canyon, 1,000 cavalry faced a tribal settlement of tens of thousands of people.
Zhou Weijun translated again.
The Tahuhamas suddenly became embarrassed. They discussed anxiously for a long time, looked at the majesty of the army many times, and finally chose to give up resistance——
"They agreed! Just ask for mercy from Kung Fu!"
Hua Hua Hua.
The natives in front of them took off their stone daggers, bows and arrows and threw them on the ground.
This cannot be said to be surrender.
In the face of the miracle of the gods coming, the indigenous people are all convinced. This is a dimensionality reduction blow in understanding and cognition.
Apart from gods, what else can ascend to the realm of the sky?
The true god even sent down an oracle from high in the sky, "In a few days, there will be an army of gods to bring guidance!"
You know, 100 years later, Europeans landed ashore, and with only a dozen firearms, the Aztec monarch was frightened and planned to make friends and show weakness.
And now, the gods' prophecies were fulfilled one by one.
The legions of gods control tall beasts they have never seen before, wearing armor and holding magical weapons that reflect cold light.
All distracting thoughts are abandoned, and only a heart of devout worship is born.
The army entered the stronghold.
The Tahuhama people offer warm hospitality.
The cavalry was naturally not stingy with the salt they carried, gave them gifts, and showed off the strength of their armor and iron weapons. It could be said that the combination of kindness and power completely destroyed the last dissent of these aboriginal people.
In the days that followed, the cavalry hunted bison for the tribe and harvested abundant food for storage.
At this point, the two parties have become as close as brothers, regardless of each other.
While the army was being cultivated, Zhou Baogang also gained something.
The tribesmen have to listen to the demand and send their jewelry and gifts.
"These are all made of copper."
"My lord Ji-Jing has a thorough understanding of everything in the world. This is where the Copper Valley is located. Looking at the various places that Ji-Jing conquered, no single tribe has ever owned such a large number of bronze wares."
Hearing this, the army leaders were all overjoyed.
They immediately asked the tribesmen to lead them to explore the location of the copper mine, and Zhou Baogang and other law monks recorded the coordinates and locations in detail.
The specific reserves still need to be determined by subsequent field drilling.
This trip is only for preliminary inspection.
November 20th.
The army moved out again and formally penetrated into the hinterland of the Copper Valley, making all tribes surrender and submit.
…
at the same time.
Compared with the prosperity of various departments in the Copper Valley.
Southeast of Chihuahua, the plateau and mountains are barren.
Climbing the mountain to lead another part of the army, no tribal settlements were seen for several days, and the journey was exhausting and arduous.
He has traveled across North America and seen countless regional customs, but he has never seen such a poor environment.
The Modoc people also lived in the mountains, but Oregon's abundant rainy season brought rich natural resources.
But in front of me...
Barren mountains and loess, there is only boundless loneliness.
If we had not hunted dozens of bison before entering the mountains and roasted them into dried meat to carry, food supply would have become a huge problem.
However, bad news still came.
"Grand Chief, our food can still last for 7 days. If we can't get prey for 7 days, I'm afraid..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Shanshan was already furious, "Afraid? Afraid of what? Under my Lord's watchful eye, are you afraid that you will starve?"
"Even if we are hungry, this is a test for us."
"My Lord watches with balance, everything is guided in the dark!"
"Call the law monks to come!"
The other party was ashamed and immediately went to summon him.
When the law monk arrived, Shanshan calmed down and said, "There is not enough food, what can you do?"
The test is not to endure hunger, but to find ways to survive.
Even during the first expedition, the army encountered difficulties, but they all passed smoothly.
The law monk listened to the inquiry, but his face was blank.
As soon as I saw their expressions while climbing the mountain, my heart dropped...
But on the side, several battle group leaders were already furious, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you answer?"
The law monks knelt down in fear, "Clan leader, leader, we, we don't know how to solve it."
"Stupid thing!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
"How come you don't know the solution when you practice the secrets of the laws given by our Lord?"
In the eyes of the leader of the war group, the law monks are omnipotent.
Because, there was a benchmark example before this -
Bull shit!
No matter what kind of problem he is, he can solve it easily.
Even when they encountered ice and snow in the southern Great Lakes region, the army never panicked.
Collect food and supplies in advance...
Even at the most critical moment, Niu Shi still strategized, stabilized the morale of the army, prayed to our Lord to come, and bestowed countless gifts to tide over the difficulties.
Compared to the fury of his chapter leader.
Climbing the mountain was just a disappointment, and he had already been mentally prepared. After spending several months together, he had already discovered the gap between these law monks and his son.
In my heart, I was happy to have a pair of children, but I also gradually lowered my standards and gained a new understanding of this group of law monks.
After all, people have different fates.
My son Niu Shi was favored by our Lord. He often listened to his teachings at his knees. He even served beside me for several months and went to the southern land to witness the city-state.
Those who are close to the true God will naturally bathe in divine grace and gain great wisdom.
They are far behind these Dharma monks. How many of them have been personally taught by our Lord?
It’s clear just by looking at the little flowers.
A child who has been chosen by Balance has become a wise man no weaker than cow shit in just a few years. No one in the Kingdom of God does not respect her.
call--
Shanshan exhaled a breath and waved his hand, "Okay, don't scare them."
"Scare them?"
"My lord! If the new cavalry army can only do this, how can they follow us on the trial journey in a few months?"
"They have been blessed by our Lord and stepped into the Temple Mount to practice. They should follow the mysteries of the law and obey the divine will of our Lord so that the army can move forward unimpeded... Otherwise, they will violate the balance and tarnish the glorious grace bestowed by our Lord!
"
The words fell.
Several law monks were trembling and their faces were pale.
Climbing the mountain, he sighed again, "That's enough! Don't forget it. My Lord has said that there is no one old or young in learning, and those who have mastered it come first."
"All of them are older than Xiaohua, but how many of them are as talented as Xiaohua?"
Little flower?
Several leaders smiled bitterly and said: "Chief, can they compare with Xiaohua? Those are the people who can keep a straight face in front of me..."
Another person said: "You don't know, in Big City No. 6, even the Elder Hall respects Xiao Hua."
"The little flower is a child chosen by my Lord's attention."
Shanshan interrupted their words and continued: "So, the law monks cannot generalize..."
"Some people are talented and smart, so they can advance backward, and some are young, but they are wiser than their elders."
"Someone is more favored by our Lord, and that person naturally obtains the true meaning of the law!"
After hearing this, everyone also became silent, unable to find a reason to refute.
Simple to understand...
Are there idiots among law monks?
Oh, right.
The patriarch's two sons and his stepdaughter Xiaohua are all talented and intelligent, but the newly born heir Zhou Jijun...
It's so stupid that we have to fight.
Moreover, doesn’t Zhou Jijun also have the favor of my lord and the shaman, serving him at all times?
Thinking about it this way, they can probably understand.
"Clan leader, what should we do now?"
After climbing the mountain to calm down, he ordered a group of law monks to get up, and then said: "Is there anyone among you who can communicate with my Lord?"
Remember to climb mountains.
After the conquest of the Great Lakes, the ice and snow were frozen.
When food is in short supply, cow dung communicates with our Lord every day, and finally prays for our Lord to come.
Climbing the mountain is not to place hope on my lord's gift, but to let the law monks listen to my lord's oracle.
If our Lord says that this is a test, he will do his best to complete the mission.
On the contrary, my Lord must also give some guidance.
A group of law monks were confused.
Communicate with my Lord.
Forehead.
The patriarch thinks too highly of us!
How many people in the Kingdom of God have this honor?
What's more, when it comes to divine grace, the patriarch is the one who can communicate with our true God, right?
Of course, these feelings are not allowed to be expressed, they are just turned into praise——
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
"We praise His glory all the time..."
"However, we do not have that kind of grace and cannot receive the oracles and guidance given by our Lord."
"..."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Mentally prepared for the mountain climb, he shook his head lightly, and then focused on the large atlas.
After staring for a long time, he closed his eyes and began to think...
I recalled the plan my son Niu Shi had made and looked for some inspiration.
But after a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, and I was still confused.
Finally, there was still a law monk who said: "My lord is above, the great patriarch...perhaps, can you communicate with my lord, the true god, and get guidance from the oracle?"
"Huh?" Shanshan was stunned for a moment.
The leader of the war group on the side also had eyes shining brightly, "Grand Chief! That's right! You are also a person favored by my Lord!"
Someone stepped forward and pulled open the mountain-climbing top, revealing a centipede-shaped scar, slightly sunken into the strong muscles.
The man said: "It is recorded in the "Bible of Balance" that on the day our Lord comes, there will be three human races who will receive the attention of the true god..."
Before he could finish speaking, the law monk was already reciting silently——
"The sons and daughters of those who are hunting for death cry sadly for the attention of the gods of nature, and a figure descends from the mountains."
"The girl threw the stone axe, but it passed through the void..."
"When He sings ancient and profound songs, He speaks words that bring wisdom to those who are lost..."
"A pair of children finally knew that it was His coming."
"He gives mercy and comes with resuscitative grace."
"After a day and night, the dead come back to life!!!"
"It's for——"
"The widow!!"
The words end here.
Everyone was on fire.
Pairs of eyes, watching the climb with passion, shouted almost in unison -
"Grand Patriarch!!"
"You are the widow!!"
As I climbed the mountain, I suddenly trembled all over. I felt an inexplicable numbness like being struck by lightning. "Am I a widow?"
Everyone shouted: "Yes, you are a widow!!"
Hiss——
"I see."
Climbing the mountain nodded solemnly, his face finally became solemn.
It has been 12 years since I was in equilibrium, but now, when I climb mountains, I feel like I have suddenly awakened and found my own identity.
His daughter is the most powerful witch under our Lord in the Kingdom of God.
His son is one of the most favored sons of our Lord.
Then he himself... is definitely not bad!
"Everyone, stay away!!"
"I, the 'undead' shrouded in the balanced glory of our Lord, will offer the sacrifice of my soul to Him and pray for the oracle guidance given by Him..."
