The night stars reflected the earth, and there was a faint light in the forest. The black figure walked through the forest, silently, arriving at the city-state on the seaside. Under the guidance of the guards, it quietly entered until it reached the Temple of Quetzalcoatl in the city.
There is a bonfire burning in the main hall of the temple, with reliefs of snake-shaped gods carved on it. The light of the bonfire shines into the dim side hall, outlining a strong and model figure. The figure is stretching out his hand to touch the inscription carved by the ancestors.
The relief mural remains motionless.
The firelight flickers, reflecting the outline of the mural. On the left is a divine warrior holding a spear, as tall as a human body. On the right is a giant snake half the size of the mural, fighting with the warrior. And in the warrior and the giant snake
During this time, it was the original Totonac city-state!
"The legend of the ancestors...the warriors of the sun god descendants, fought and combined with the giant snake Miavakotel..."
Chief Chikini of the Great Sun spoke in a low voice and stood in front of the warriors on the mural. The light flickered and flickered, and it was hard to describe. His figure sometimes blended with the warriors on the mural, and sometimes was clearly revealed, just as he was complex and difficult to describe.
, the mood of eager waiting.
"The sun or the giant snake, who is right and who is wrong?..."
"The divinity of the sun and the divinity of the giant snake are both inherited from our ancestors. The sun is the father of the tribe, representing light and glory; while the giant snake is the mother who gave birth to the tribe, representing darkness and cunning..."
A graceful figure in black robe walked lightly to the mural and stood on the side of the giant snake. The corners of her mouth were raised and she spoke in the shadow of the giant snake, her voice was low and slightly hoarse.
"This is the two sides of the Totonac people. They are just trying to survive. There is no right or wrong..."
"Well...just to survive, there is nothing right or wrong..."
Only then did Dazhi Chichini turn his eyes and look at the living sister in front of him, the snake priestess Miava. There was some confusion in his eyes, he sniffed his nose gently and asked in a low voice.
"Miawa, you and His Majesty the Death God are singing happily? How come it only smells like you and not like a man?"
"Brother, your nose is still as sharp as a snake's tongue. It seems that you are the one who inherits the divine nature of the giant snake, not me!..."
Miava's eyes rolled, and she replied with a smile. Then, she shook her head, her expression was a little serious, a little resentful, but also a little inexplicably relieved.
"Under the Temple of Death, he didn't touch me... He restrained his desires without missing a beat, just like the hard blood jade in the southern mountains and forests. This is a terrifying man, reminding me of the condor high on the mountain.
Hunting the giant snake in the mountains..."
"A condor that hunts giant snakes? You mean?..."
"Yes. This man wants to conquer the entire seaside land and conquer the Totonak Long Snake. The tribe's Golden Bay City is the center of the thousands of miles of coast, and it is also the seven inches of the Totonak Long Snake. Therefore, what we are under our feet
He must capture this city-state and will never let us keep it!"
"Hand over Jinwan City to the tribe..."
After hearing this, Chichini lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time. After a while, his eyes darkened and he spoke in a low voice.
"Tell me! Miawa, since you are back alive, then tell me... what conditions were given to the tribe under the Temple of Death?"
Hearing this, the snake priestess Miava lowered her head slightly, her expression flickered inexplicably, and she repeated Shulot's original words in a low voice.
"Within three days, we will capture alive the chiefs and leaders of the eastern tribes in the city-state. We will lead the Mexica army into the city to suppress and surrender the Eastern Totonac coalition forces... After this is completed, the Jinwan tribes will retain 20,000
The tribal people migrated to the southwest and inland..."
"...We have done so much, even handing over a city-state that has been passed down from generation to generation, but we can only retain 20,000 tribesmen?!"
Upon hearing such conditions, Chief Chichini's eyes sharpened, and anger surged in his chest. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
"You agreed?"
"Yes. I agreed."
Miawa nodded and answered calmly.
"The Death Temple promised that the Jinwan tribe would convert to the main god and move inland to find a new fiefdom to settle in. If the two tribes of Yutori City and Tuhe City can be surrendered, the tribesmen can keep half..."
"How can you agree to such a condition of betraying your ancestors and betraying the gods?!"
Chief Chikini of the Great Sun roared, interrupting the snake priestess's words. He looked at his sister's beautiful face with a fierce expression and said coldly.
"Miawa, the envoy sent to the Mexica Alliance, has long brought back a detailed reply. This eastern expedition of Totonac is the work of the Death Temple of the Lake Kingdom, and is not in Mexica.
It's part of the king's plan! In other words, this is the army of the Kingdom of the Lake, not the army of the Mexica Alliance! The situation of the alliance is very delicate. If the Death Temple died here, both the king and the nobles would be happy.
Seeing the success, we will not launch a large-scale crusade to take revenge..."
"The kingdom in the lake is a thousand or two thousand miles away, and it relies on His Highness the Lake to lead all the tribes. As soon as he dies, the entire kingdom will be divided instantly! Many chiefs who control the legions will each occupy their own territory and attack each other.
..”
"So, just kill His Highness in the Lake, just kill him! The Mexica's Totonac Eastern Expedition will collapse in an instant, and there will be no possibility of continuation!"
Speaking of this, Chichini looked fierce, like a giant snake that wants to devour others. He stretched out his hand, pinched Miawa's chin, stared at her face that was forced to look up, and asked with murderous intent
road.
"So, my sister, why don't you assassinate His Highness Huzhong? Is it because you don't have the 'snake fangs'? Or are you unwilling to sacrifice yourself for the continuation of the tribe?!"
"...Cicini, if you don't want to die here, just let go of your hand!"
Facing Chikini's question, the expression of the snake priestess Miava changed, she put away all her charm, and a ruthless expression appeared on her face. She puffed up her cheeks and moved her tongue in her mouth, like a poisonous snake before biting her.
omen.
Seeing this scene, Chicini felt a chill in his heart and immediately let go of his hand. He quickly took two steps back, pulled out the long obsidian dagger from his waist, and paid careful attention to the snake priestess.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The snake priestess Miawa puffed up her cheeks, raised her eyes, and looked at Chikini coldly for a while. Then she put her fingers deep into her mouth
, exerting a little force, a flash of pain flashed across her face, but she did not stop her hand. She just secretly became fierce, pulled out a well-inlaid "teeth" from the gum position of the wisdom tooth, and spread it out.
In hand!
Under the dim firelight, this "teeth" turned slightly yellow, showing the traces of time. On the sides and bottom of the tooth, there were obvious traces of carving and modification to fit the gums where the snake priestess had removed the wisdom teeth.
In fact, these are the "snake teeth" used by the snake priestesses to imitate the hunting of venomous snakes and use them to assassinate. The "snake teeth" are extremely secretive and are only passed down among high-level priestesses, used to sacrifice their lives to assassinate the most dangerous enemies. And what is in front of them is The "snake tooth" is also taken from the wisdom tooth of a young woman, but it has been carefully chiselled and hollow inside, hiding fresh blood-soluble snake venom, which seals the throat when it sees blood.
"Cichini, my brother. I have brought 'snake fangs' with me on my mission tonight, and I am prepared to die for the tribe!"
The snake priestess Miava had a cold face, stared at the silent Chichini, and declared word by word.
"Ancestors witness! Tonight, under the Temple of Death, he remained vigilant throughout the whole process. He was not tempted by me, nor did he sing with me. I did not use 'snake teeth' to bite him and draw blood!"
"What's more, the Death Temple did not push us to a dead end, but gave the tribe a territory for survival and continuation! Chichini, you idiot blinded by greed, only care about the power in your hands! Think about it carefully..."
"If I assassinate His Highness, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will really harm the Jinwan tribe! You know, the Black Wolf Chief is crawling in front of His Highness like a wolf, ready to bite us at any time! And Jinwan City The city walls cannot stop the bombardment of divine punishment..."
