Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Five: Jiaoren Yuefu, 'Cloud Snake Turns into Butterfly'
"From the singing of new poems to replace the old tribal memories, establish a new consensus among the Jiao people? Then, cultivate a new generation of people who identify with the Jiao people as one?..."
In the big tent, Avitt looked at the "Jiaoman Book of Poetry" in his hand and once again fell into deep thought. He had always followed the Mexica tradition and regarded the warrior army as the foundation of rule, but he could not attach such importance to it like Xiulote.
The so-called "cultural consensus". And this diverse and long-term cultural means happens to be his blind spot in knowledge, and it is a blind spot that most Mexica nobles are not good at.
Of course, after Shulot explained in detail, he could also understand the value of these practices. All these measures are to gather the hearts of the people in the world!
The ruling Mexica sacred tree extends its roots in the earth and grows into a sacred tree that binds people. And the people's hearts connected by the root system are not only the current generation, but also the long-term future! Seeing Shulot put his mind,
Regarding this kind of long-term cultural and educational affairs, rather than the samurai army, it does make Avitt feel more at ease...
"The Lord God bless you! Shulot, you are a prophet blessed by the Lord God. You can always see farther than ordinary people. And you are young enough to be able to promote these cultural policies consistently and for a long time... I will leave these affairs to you.
, I feel relieved!…”
After promising to delegate power, Avitt reached out and patted Hulott on the shoulder affectionately. Hulott also nodded seriously, with many unspoken plans and considerations.
The Alliance controls an absolute machine of violence and has built a temple of the Lord God. It already has the advantage of cultural dissemination and can decisively deal with the noise of division. Under Shulot's arrangement, the Alliance and the Kingdom have been integrated.
Many of the tribal priests, tribal sages, and bonfire inheritors who took refuge also owned paper-making books and woodblock printing. They distributed tens of thousands of albums in this way, completely burying the ancient traditional mass murder weapon!
The opponents faced by the alliance and the obstacles to establishing cultural consensus are only some remaining tribal elders and the sporadic divine nobles who have slipped through the net! They are still in the tribal culture stage of recording things on the drawing board, and the number of people who master the culture is very small. And
The vast majority of the tribes conquered by the alliance do not even have written words at all. They have to pass on oral songs to tell the memories of independent tribes, about a certain ancestor or old god...
Therefore, at present, the conscious and large-scale cultural reconstruction led by Xiulote is almost carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack on these remaining tribal opponents! The identity of the Tlaxcala people, the identity of the Totonac people
, the identity of the Mixtec people has become blurred in the reconstruction of culture, and has begun to be gradually replaced by the recognition of the glue people! For example, the priests on the Totonac beach have all stood obediently in the kingdom.
On the other side, most of the old priests who were ignorant of current affairs were sent to the altar...
At this moment, these surrendered seaside priests are giving full play to their ingenuity, identifying the memories of the seaside tribes, and quickly leading them to identify with the Jiaoren tribes! And the only selfishness they reveal is probably in
In the compiled "Historical Records of the Jiaoren", they added a little more divinity to themselves, and added the false name of inheriting the ancient holy relics and guarding the prophecies of the Jiaoren...
"Well, I have a rough idea of what this "Jiaoren Book of Songs" is like. Let's take a look at this "Jiaoren Yuefu"... Oh! It turns out to be a folk tale that is sung?... It seems that "The Book of Songs"
It's more formal, and it's mainly for the middle and upper class. "Yuefu" is more relaxed, and it's more for the middle and lower class... Well, not necessarily?..."
Avitt raised his eyebrows and looked at the first article he read, "Yuefu". This turned out to be a story and ballad about the traditional enemies of Mexica, the Tlaxcalans.
""Cloud Serpent Transforms into a Butterfly"? What is this? The tragic love story between the top-level god of Tlaxcala and the girl at the bottom, which ultimately led to the demise of the cloud snake god? Haha! This kind of statement... interesting, really interesting
!…”
"A young Dark Snake, a descendant of the Cloud Snake God, fell in love with a girl named Bai Ou who was an ant in the lake. The Goddess has the blood of the Cloud Snake and has the most handsome face. The girl is the lowest fisherwoman, with...
A face as beautiful as a water lotus. They met in the lake and forgot the difference in status. They fell in love and played like fish in the lake..."
Avitt smiled and glanced at the long and detailed descriptions of love. Although it was the most popular content for ordinary tribesmen, it didn't make him pay attention to it at all. Until the next step of the story, the unexpected
The turning point and some hidden thoughts in it made his expression gradually serious.
"However, the descendants of the Cloud Snake gods who are at the top brutally rule the tribes of the Cloud Snakes! They enjoy the wealth and beauty of the entire tribe, and exploit and drive the tribesmen at the bottom... Their lives are so extravagant, especially those who claim to be
The Cholula descendants of the Toltecs... They are gluttonous anteaters, indulgent monkeys, greedy jaguars, and cunning coyotes! Their lives are like beautiful flowers on the water, but
The mud buried under the water is full of the sucked-up corpses of the bottom ants!…”
After reading this, Avitt frowned slightly. The luxurious life of the descendants of the Cloud Snake Gods described here always allowed him to see some shadows of the great nobles of Mexico. However, he and Shuluo
They are all kings who restrain their material desires and will not be offended by these descriptions and reprimands.
"O Lord God of the distant mountains, when will He illuminate the basin of Tlaxcala and bring kindness and justice?... In the eyes of the cruel Cloud Snake descendants, no matter how kind-hearted the ant people at the bottom are,
and beauty, they are just playthings and ants! And how can a young man of noble descent take the daughter of an ant people as his wife? This is absolutely impermissible blasphemy!..."
"The Lord of Cloud Snake City, the father of the god-born boy, felt angry at being offended by the ants! For the first time, he deprived his son of all his belongings and wanted to use a hard life to force his son to surrender. But the god-born boy Dark Snake,
He was willing to live a hard life of hard work with his own hands, and was never willing to leave his lover. The second time, the Lord of Yun She City sent warriors to capture many ant people, including the parents of the fisherman Bai Ou, and threatened him with their lives.
The son returns!"

Threatening to let his son marry an equally noble wife! Otherwise, he will be thrown to the battlefield of the Flower War, where he will fight to the death with the brutal and vicious Mexica warriors in the mountains of the west!
…”
"However, the god-born boy would never give in, never go against his own heart, and abandon his humble wife! He took an obsidian war club, put a feathered wooden shield on his back, and embarked on the battlefield to the death! He was on the battlefield
Taking the lead, he defeated powerful Mexica warriors one after another! Until an extraordinarily strong Jaguar warrior walked out from the countless warriors surrounding him. A man knocked him to the ground and placed a sharp obsidian war club on the ground.
On his neck!…”
Avitt read carefully, watched every fight in the story, and saw the shadow of many wars. Only those who have actually participated in the fighting can write such a simple, simple, and thrilling battle process. But the story
The plot always exceeded his expectations. The Jaguar warrior did not kill the loser of the fight, and even praised the opponent's bravery and let the opponent leave alive.
"The jaguar warrior, as strong as a bear, lifted off the silver mask of the Tlaxcala warrior and saw an exceptionally handsome face of a young man! So, he said with emotion: 'Brave young man of Tlaxcala! Your bravery
, both in age and appearance, he looks like my son who died in the battle. I can’t bear to let another father lose his son in this world... Let’s go! Leave the battlefield of the Flower War with your previous bravery and honor.
,Return to your hometown!’…”
"However, Dark Snake, the god-born young man, dropped the war stick in his hand, exposed his neck, and replied generously: 'Strong jaguar warriors! I thought that the jaguars of the Mexica were all cruel.
And the crazy tiger who likes to kill! ... But I didn't expect that there would be a tiger king like you who has lotus in his heart and smells roses! Please cut off my head! Death in your hands is the glorious death of a warrior!'
…”
"However, the jaguar warrior still shook his head. He calmly refused: 'The benevolent Lord God is watching everything! The head is not a green shoot that grows easily. If it is cut off, it will not grow back. A life of only fifty years, like you.
Young warriors should leave behind their heirs and come back to die on the battlefield... Just go away! After leaving behind your offspring, if you still want to come to me for a fight... I will wait for you at the great temple of Trochititlan!
'…”
"The god-born boy Dark Snake promised to come back, and then returned to his homeland. He returned from the glorious battlefield and came to Yun She City, but he could never find his wife! It turned out that his father, the Lord of Yun She City, had already
Warriors were sent to capture his wife! And the ant people who had been spared were also killed by the Lord of Cloud Snake City, and their heads were hung on the city gate to warn all tribes that they must unconditionally obey the gods.
rule!…"
"The god-born boy was furious, but he was alone and unable to change everything! He once again thought of the powerful Mexica Jaguar warrior... So he finally went west alone, came to the capital of the Mexica people, and went to the great
Searching in the temple…”
Avit is a quick browser and skips a lot of adventure travel links. The description of the wealth of the Texcoco Lake District, the wisdom of the temple priests, and the promise-keeping of the Mexica warriors are obviously in
Establish a tall and positive image of the alliance. The next stage of the story happened to be connected with the Eastern Expedition of the Mexican Alliance. The adivine boy grew into an adivine youth and joined the alliance as a disciple of the Jaguar Warriors.
The Crusade of Tlaxcala!
"Dark Snake, a young man of divine descent, has made many contributions! He has also grown from a young warrior, knighted with first-level military merit, and finally grown into a hereditary noble of the Mexica Alliance! Then, the last fortress, Cloud Snake
The city appeared in front of him, in front of the Mexica army... And in this dangerous fortress on the top of the mountain, there was also his father, and besides him, there was the last descendant of the Cloud Snake in the world!
…”
"In order to rescue his wife, Dark Snake, a young man of divine origin, personally commanded dozens of Mexica warriors and fought from the camp in the back mountain to the front mountain! He met his father in front of the Yun Serpent Temple and angrily denounced the cruelty of the descendant of God
Rule, tells the story of the misery of the ant people at the bottom!…At this moment, he is not for the Mexicans, but for all the oppressed ant people, for his captured wife, and to fight for life and death with his father!…”
"As the last descendants of the Cloud Snake Gods in the world, they have absorbed the divinity in their blood and possess powers beyond ordinary people! They fought fiercely at close quarters, and their war sticks danced with residual shadows and roars, even on their faces.
The scales of the cloud snake!…”
Seeing these descriptions of the supernatural powers of spirits, Avitt raised his brows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and refused to comment. But he knew that in folk stories, ordinary tribesmen liked these the most. He skipped a large paragraph.
After a fierce fight, the two Cloud Snake gods finally decided the winner. Dark Snake defeated his father and made the other party confess his mistakes! However, the god's arrogance from birth to death, he never treated the ants at the bottom.
People, treating it as a life worth mentioning. He only admitted that he was defeated at the hands of his son and the Mexica, and then chose to commit glorious suicide.
"The light of the Lord God shines on the sacred mountain of Yun She! My father's body is lying in front of the burning temple. And my wife's bones are dug out from the temple's sacrifice pit... It turns out that a few years ago, he
The pregnant commoner’s wife has been sacrificed to the Cloud Snake by her father, along with her unborn child!…”
"Young Dark Snake stared at the sky in silence, standing in front of three corpses. Even if he had the great success of capturing Yun Snake Mountain City, even if the generous God King of Mexica wanted to entrust the mountain city to him and make him the glory of Mexica.
Nobleman, he still didn’t smile or nod once..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Finally, he resolutely pulled out the obsidian dagger and faced the Jaguar warrior who came to consecrate him, and the master who taught him martial arts and helped him grow.
This true Mexica God-King...he maintained the last dignity of the people of Tlaxcala and spoke generously!"
"As a husband, I cannot protect my wife and children. As a son, I forced my father to death. As a Tlaxcala, I fought for the Mexica people. As the loser of the Flower War, I have always owed it to the Lord God.
A death... Therefore, I deserve to die and have been prepared to die for a long time! I will return my life to heaven and earth, the gods and you!..."
"But, the Lord God witnesses! I betrayed the descendants of the Cloud Snake, but I never betrayed my tribe! What I overthrew was the tyranny of the descendants of the Cloud Snake, and I never left anything for myself! ... And the only thing I had before my death was
I pray that all the surviving Cloud Snake tribes can live well and live in prosperity and health like the Mexica people!..."
"After all, the Lord God has told me a long time ago, and you have also told me that there is no difference between the Tlaxcala and Mexica tribes! We are all the people of the Lord God, the glue that was dispersed thousands of years ago.
Brothers, they bleed the same blood and have the same face!…”
"Master! God King! Lord God!... Please agree to the last request of the last Cloud Snake descendant before his death!... May we meet again in the Kingdom of God!..."
"Jaguar Warrior, the Mexica God King was silent for a long time, and then slowly nodded. The god-born young man Dark Snake gave his last smile and generously committed suicide! He dedicated his body and blood to the land of Tlaxcala.
And the sky. And the sun of the main god dropped a divine light, and his body disappeared... There was only a beautiful butterfly flying on the sacred mountain of Yun Shen. Then, there was another divine light, and the butterflies turned into a pair,
They dance together and disappear into the end of the sky!…”
"This is the story of "Cloud Snake Transforms into a Butterfly", and this is the secret of the demise of the Cloud Snake Goddess!... Everything is the fate set by the Lord God, and he must use the cruelest life and death to compose the music of Jiao Man's return! And in the end
The descendant of the Cloud Snake God is using his own tragic life to witness the integration of the various tribes of the Jiao people... But after the fire, there will eventually be new shoots. When the new shoots bloom, a pair of butterflies will perch on the flowers~"
