Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Four: The various ministries gather together to negotiate the fate of Maya (Part 1)
The night was dark, and the waves carried whispers, scattered in the town of Iron Bay on the coast of Cuba. When the morning dawned, the sun rose over the jungle, illuminating the Ceiba City of the lowland Maya.
From Tiewan Town to Kapok City, there are two thousand miles of Cuban coast, one thousand miles of Caribbean waves, and one thousand miles of Mayan northern coast. The total is exactly four thousand miles. And the kingdom wants to open up these four thousand miles of sea routes.
The only remaining obstacle is the last thousand miles of the Maya's northern coast...
Kapok City is the capital of the Canul clan, an ancient Mayan city-state that has been passed down for thousands of years. Five hundred years ago, the Toltec king led an expedition and conquered the Mayan holy land Chichen Itza, and then enfeoffed the plateau warriors he followed on the west coast of the Maya.
.And this ancient city-state in the center of the West Bank was also within the enfeoffed territory, and eventually belonged to the Canul clan formed by the marriage of plateau warriors and local Maya nobles.
This ancient city is named after Kapok, and the sacred Kapok tree can be seen everywhere. Although it is not yet the season for Kapok to bloom, the faint red and white buds have already appeared. As soon as the spring breeze arrives, the city will be filled with the fragrance of flowers and flowers.
bloom.
The architecture in the ancient city of Kapok blends the characteristics of the plateau and Mayan civilizations, and also has obvious differences between the old and the new. The center of the city-state is a single pyramid temple at least thirty meters high, but two Kanu are enshrined in the temple.
The main gods of the Er clan, the Mayan Quetzalcoatl, the wind god Kukulkan, and the more respected rain god Chac are the same rain gods believed by the people in the clouds.
On the platform in front of the Kanur temple, there is also a human-shaped sacrificial stone, Chacmool, the messenger of the rain god. Obviously, the two main gods of Kanur both have the background of plateau gods.
The Toltec conquests brought new Mayan gods.
Looking down at the city-state from the pyramid of the central temple, you can see more than ten temples, high and low, most of which have distinctive Mayan carvings. Some temples have mottled masonry and worn carvings, making them look extremely ancient.
, and some have neat bluestones and brand-new paintings and carvings, which are obviously built not long ago. The main temple of Huitziloppo, located on the south side of the city-state and guarded by hundreds of warriors from the kingdom, is the latest one among them!
"Praise the Lord Huitziloppo! He is the God of the Plateau and the God of the Maya! He and the Serpent God are one and the same, in charge of the present era, and the skull of the ancient saint witnesses everything and gathers divinity on it.
Let the thunder resound across Maya!…”
"Boom boom boom!..."
Accompanied by the announcement of the main god priest, the red flag flashed above the head of the southern city. Then, ten eagle cannons roared together, emitting shocking thunder in the Lake Kingdom military camp on the south side of the city-state! When the terrible thunder came
Come, the 4,000 Kanur warriors guarding Kapok City and the 8,000 tribal militiamen mobilized were all full of fear and awe. Many people even knelt down on the ground and prayed loudly in fear towards the new main temple.
"God of War of the Plateau! We, the Kanur clan, are also descendants of the Toltecs from the plateau...please! Please take back the power of thunder, take back the flames of disaster, and don't bring the terrible doomsday to the clan.
!…”
"Praise the Lord God! He gave a sacred prophecy and guided the invincible legions on the plateau to this rich and beautiful land of Maya, where they met the long-separated Jiao brothers!..."
In the main temple of Kapok City, Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea smiled slightly and looked around at the people in the temple. The envoys from various clan emirates were obviously frightened by the sudden thunder, and they all looked solemn and silent.
"Praise the Lord God of the Plateau! Praise the Old God of the Serpent! The ancient saints guide us and let the sacred tribes meet here... Our Mayapan royal family has been silent for fifty years and has been blessed by the ancient saints. Today, we declare that Mayakuhu Ahao will be restored.
The country will be rejuvenated!…”
The leader of the Kokom clan, the newly promoted Mayakuhu Ahoti Akin, prayed solemnly, breaking the silence in the temple. He was still less than thirty years old, but he sat at the top of the crowd closest to the statue. His broad forehead was engraved with the main god.
emblem, with an unfolded Mayan noble feather crown on his slender head, and a traditional obsidian amulet on his short neck. Not far from him, sat a bald old fox with a smile on his face, the Mayan merchant Tikallo.
The two nobles' uniforms are both engraved with a snake pattern with the word "big", which is the emblem of the Cocom family!
"Ahem! Praise the gods and the ancient saints! The sacred skull of the ancient saint appears in the world, and the sacred source summons all the descendants of the gods. In the past two days, the envoys have carefully checked the authenticity of the sacred objects and discussed with each other.
...Then what is the reply to the master-slave covenant for the restoration of the Mayapan royal family? The envoys represent the clans behind it?"
The leader of the Kanuer clan, Kanu Snake King, coughed lightly, squinted his narrow eyes, and looked at the messengers from each tribe with a smile. "Snake King" is the honorary name of the leader of the Kanu clan, and the emblem of the Kanu clan is a narrow-eyed and sharp-nosed snake.
Snake head.
"The most revered divine object, the skull of the ancient saint!..."
The eyes of the envoys from various ministries flashed, and their eyes were focused on the statue of the main god intentionally or unintentionally. There was an altar made of gold and stone. On the altar was placed a smooth and bright jade statue, which was as long as an arm, in the shape of a cocoa bean, and had an abnormal arc.
Perfect white skull!
Under the sunshine in the courtyard, the skull was slightly translucent, glowing with a warm milky white color, and seemed to have a slight yellowish tint. The soul-stirring color did not look as ferocious as the skull at all, but instead had a beauty like a work of art.
In the eyes of many Mayan nobles, the long head, snake face, and fangs that completely fit their aesthetics are like the incarnation of all the gods in the world, suddenly emerging from myths and legends! And the slightly rough and mottled surface seems to
Engraved with the traces of time, it tells the divinity of the ancient first era and the glory of the Mayan Golden Age!…
"Gods and ancestors! This is the source of divinity, the skull of the ancient sage, a truly immortal inherited artifact! If you can get this artifact and get the divine approval of the ancient sage, you will have the power to rule the lowland Maya, and even
The whole qualification of Maya!…”
Seeing the luster of the "Skull of the Ancient Saint", the eyes of the envoys from each ministry flickered, their Adam's apples twitched, and their breathing became a little heavier. The envoys from each ministry looked at each other, and all kinds of complex calculations were spinning in their hearts, just like they had been since childhood.
The same as memorizing the 20 multiplication table...
There was a moment of silence in the temple, and more than a dozen slender heads shook slightly as if attracted by divine objects. After a while, Xiuwa, the divine messenger of the Xiwu family, with a gloomy expression, was the first to stand up and respond.
"Witness the Serpent God and the ancestral spirits! This so-called ancient holy skull was forged by the plateau barbarians! The Mayapan royal family has been destroyed for fifty years, and the Cocom family has suffered divine punishment and has been completely extinct... These two people don't know where they came from.
The ant people who appeared out of nowhere are not descendants of Kokom, and have no bloodline at all! They not only believe in the evil god of the plateau, but also offend the ancient sanctity and deceive all the Mayan tribes. They will inevitably suffer divine punishment and die!
…”
"Gods be with you! As the only descendants of the Serpent God, the Xiwu Clan will never compromise with the plateau barbarians who killed the descendants of the Serpent God, or with the descendants of the volcano monsters! The Xiwu Clan will fight against these for the sake of the gods and ancestors.
The invading barbarians fight to the death! And the clans that dare to help these barbarians are all enemies of the Xiwu clan!..."
"Ha! The sun god, the snake god, and the ancestral spirits have witnessed it! I, the Mayapan royal family, will definitely completely destroy the despicable Xiu clan! The blood feud of slaughtering the city, destroying the clan and destroying the country will always be engraved in the hearts of the Cocom family! This hatred will not be forgotten from generation to generation.
Until the last male of Xiwu god descent dies!…”
Tiakim glared angrily, staring at the Xiu envoy Xiuwa, and swore an undying vow. His arms trembled with anger, and his right hand tightly grasped the copper ax at his waist. Tikalo patted it gently.
He raised his shoulder to signal him to stay calm, and then looked at Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea.
Bertard frowned slightly and was silent in thought. It was at his insistence that the envoys of the Xiwu clan were invited to this meeting. In fact, the kingdom of the lake faced each other deep in the jungle, and the strongest among the clans
The large Xiwu clan has no intention of conquering or destroying it. If the Xiwu clan is willing to give in, let go of the hatred of the prince's murder, and not affect the kingdom's sea route to Cuba, the rest can be negotiated.
But the current reaction of the Xiwu clan, the blood feud with the Cocom clan, and the hatred with the kingdom are indeed impossible to resolve. And when the situation has developed to this point, the Cocom clan has converted to the Lord God and has been firmly bound to the Kingdom of the Lake.
Even after handing over the legal principles for inheriting the Mayan Kingdom, the Xiwu clan can only be destroyed as an enemy!
"Come here! Drive the Xiwu envoy out of the city!..."
Bertard waved his hand, and several seaside warriors were wearing bronze armor and holding big axes, trying to drive Xiwu, the messenger of Xiwu, away from the temple. Xiuwa turned around with a sullen face and looked at Kanu Snake King and Kanu coldly.
The Pur envoy Jin Mu glanced at him and let out a low "hum". Finally, he nodded to Bai Xing, the envoy of the Ekabu chiefdom and a descendant of the Ixi clan. Bai Xing Ixi bowed his head in return, and Xiu Wa left.
return.
Seeing the leaving Xiuwa, the envoys from the Weiyu clan, the Luchong clan, and the Lishu clan all stood up and chased after the Xiwu envoy. These three small clans are all northern vassals of the Xiwu clan, subordinate to Xiwu at least
There are two generations, and people will not betray easily.
"..."
Wei Ying, the envoy of the Weiyu clan, was at the end of the three, and he was obviously hesitant in his steps. After all, the vanguard of the Black Wolf Legion had already arrived in the territory of the Weiyu clan, and even captured several noble estates around the Stone Carving City... But in the end, Weiying
Yingying still did not stay, and chose to leave with the Xiwu envoy. The attitude of the four clans of Xiwu, Weiyu, Luchong, and Lishu was clear at this point. They were completely hostile with no possibility of compromise!
"The Xiwu clan is located deep in the jungle, and it is difficult to attack. However, these three small offshore clans do not know whether to live or die, and they are blocking the Mayan coast where the kingdom is advancing..."
Marshal Bertard of the East China Sea looked calm, secretly harboring murderous intent. He continued to observe the reactions of the envoys from various ministries, especially the powerful Kapoor clan and the Ekabu chiefdom. Unexpectedly, the second one to step forward was Chel
The envoy of the theocratic chiefdom, Amuchel, the priest of the serpent god.
"The gods are paying attention to the jungle, and the snake eyes distinguish the true from the false! This skull of the ancient saint is exactly the same as the record in the inherited epic. It should be a real divine object! And the two descendants of the gods are indeed the noble Coco
The surviving family of Mu, the last Mayan royal family!…”
Amuchel looked solemn. First he bowed his head respectfully, saluted to the sacred skull, and then saluted Tiakin seriously. Then, with a sharp look in his eyes, he displayed the unique skill of the Mayan god descendant who had trained since childhood, to control the eyes.
He glanced sideways at the statue of the main god with one eye, and glanced sideways at Bertard with the other eye, and said coldly.
"The temple priests of Cheltianshui City will never admit that the God of War of the plateau tribe is the Maya living god who is one with the Serpent God! The ancient saints will never issue such a ridiculous decree to guide the noble Mayapan royal family.
, what kind of plateau gods do you want to take refuge in!..."
"Respected Mayapan royal family, Chief of the Kokom clan, please think carefully, wake up from the bewitchment of the plateau gods as soon as possible, and return to the right path of the Serpent God! As long as you return to the embrace of the Serpent God, the Kingdom of Chel will mobilize
All warriors and warriors, join your army and support the revival of the Mayapan royal family!..."
"Of course, the Cocom family and the priests of the Tianshui Temple have a sacred covenant that has been passed down for hundreds of years... Even if you are temporarily deceived by the gods of the plateau, the coast of the Chel Kingdom will still be open to you and will support you.
A passing legion!…”
"The long head gathers divinity, and the snake face knows the human heart... Dear Te Ajincuhu Ahao, may your descendants continue to be blessed by the ancient saints, and finally return to the right path of the gods!..."
Having said that, Amuchel saluted Tiajin again, squinted his eyes and glanced around, just like a real snake. Then, he reluctantly looked at the crystal-clear skull of the ancient saint, let out a sigh, and turned around with a big step.
