Chapter 976: Rebuilding the ancient holy city and compiling a new epic
The moon shines like water, falling from the western sky, casting the towering Fireworks Mountain into a long shadow extending like a giant snake. And clusters of shining firelights light up in the shadow of the towering mountains.
At this moment, if you look at the mountains on the ground from the distant night sky, you will feel like you are seeing a giant seaside snake that devours everything in tribal mythology! The giant snake gradually wakes up from its slumber and opens countless bright eyes. It is cold and cold.
He looked at the gods in the galaxy, showing greedy hunger and murderous intent. He wanted to eat all the old gods and bury all the divinities of the past. And the new sun would be born from his belly, and
Like the ancient prophecy…
"When the gods die in the galaxy, the main god will ascend to the highest place! The various ministries will be reunited and the descendants of the Jiao people will be reshaped! And all of this must be realized in my hands and must not be delayed for future generations!..."
Shulot looked up at the stars, with the grand ambition of the First Emperor burning in his heart. The conquest of the world has gradually reached a new stage. For him at this moment, the fighting in one city and one place is far from the overall plan and the lack of individual ministries.
The integration of people's hearts is even more important! Therefore, he will be particularly tolerant of talents who can effectively help him in the integration of culture and beliefs and in the great cause of national cohesion, and will let him go and reuse them!
Thinking of this, Shulot turned his head and showed a gentle smile for the first time on his face. He retreated from the generals, looked at the uneasy general Papu, and said with a smile.
"Pap, you have to see me in person and surrender to me... There are only two considerations. One should be to cancel the grudges and obtain the kingdom's forgiveness. For this, I have asked the black wolf to take revenge and make it public in front of the generals.
I forgive you for everything in the past..."
"Ah! Thank you, my supreme highness! You are this majestic sacred mountain, and I would like to be a stone statue on the sacred mountain, like an Olmec sculpture, guarding the deep mountain pass for you, unchanged for thousands of years.
…”
General Papu knelt down skillfully and sang praises skillfully. In the past half day today, he almost exhausted all the metaphors in the sacrificial poems, changed dozens of rhetorical figures, and did not even repeat a single word of praise. And he felt it personally.
With Pap's literary and theological attainments, Shulot became more and more certain about the arrangement of this surrendered general.
"Pap, your second consideration should be to obtain my promise and seek a bright future..."
Shulot smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted Papu on the shoulder. Then, he raised the corners of his mouth and calmly explained his decision.
"According to my plan, I want you to choose a position among the chief priest of a certain temple on the seaside, or the captain of the thousand-man battalion of the naval fleet..."
"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise His Highness! I would like to be a naval battalion captain, conquer the east for the kingdom, and fight for the Lord God!..."
Hearing this, Pappu was overjoyed. He did not hesitate and immediately chose the second option, becoming the captain of the navy's thousand-man battalion.
"Don't worry! Pap, that was my original plan, before I heard your proposal..."
Seeing Pappu's reaction, Xuelote's smile became even brighter. He shook Pappu's hair, and told the new arrangement in the astonished eyes of the other party.
"After hearing your proposal of 'rebuilding the Olmec Holy City', I agreed very much! And I thought about it carefully. I need a candidate who can preside over the Olmec Holy City and be familiar with Olmec.
Inheritance, we also need to be able to compile the Olmec ancestral epic, and properly integrate the epic of the alliance and the kingdom into it... And after thinking about it, I can do all this well, so that the Totonac tribes and the Shanlinsok tribes can
There are actually very few cultural talents who are convinced..."
Shulot looked at Papu, who was a feathered serpent priest, with a leisurely expression, and said meaningfully.
"Witness the Lord God! In fact, in such an important position, there is probably only one person left in the Seaside Alliance right now... and that is you, Pappu!..."
"Ah! Ah this! Your Highness? You...want me to go to the Olmec Holy City to preside over the compilation of the ancestral epic?"
Hearing this arrangement, General Pap opened his mouth instantly with a look of disbelief. He led the navy to surrender and worked hard to gain His Highness's appreciation. The bright future he got in exchange turned out to be to go to the "ancient ruins" in front of him.
"Holy City", what kind of bullshit "ancestral epic" is this?
"Lord God! Let...let me compile history?!...But...but my identity?...Your Highness, how can you let me do this important thing of clarifying the inheritance of divinity?!..."
"Witness the Lord God! As long as there is piety to the faith and loyalty to the kingdom, this big thing can be done naturally! What's more, Pappu, you are very smart and have the heritage of two seaside holy cities... You are also very smart.
Flexible, with flexible beliefs and bottom lines..."
"And for this position, to sort out the 'real' ancestral epic... What we need most is smart and flexible talents like you!..."
Shulot put away his smile, his expression turned serious for a moment, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
"What? Pappu, you don't want to accept it? Could it be that... your loyalty to the alliance and the kingdom today, and your piety to the Lord God, are all deceiving me and deliberately pretending?"
Xiulote asked the question knowingly and hit General Papu. Upon hearing this sentence, General Papu was speechless and wanted to cry. He didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a long time and saw His Highness.
His eyes became dangerous, and he had no choice but to kneel to the ground.
"Your Highness! I...I am willing to accept it!...It's just...I just...I don't know what the position of epic compiler in this ancient holy city is in the kingdom. What level of priest is it equivalent to?..."
"Hmm...let me think about it."
Shulot touched his chin, his eyes flashing. Rebuilding the Olmec holy city and compiling the ancestral epic is undoubtedly a major priority for the kingdom's priests!
For the Mexica Alliance and the Kingdom of the Lake, regardless of whether the various tribes in the world recognize it or not, they have always claimed to be the orthodox inheritors of the Toltecs, and they also regard the more ancient Olmecs as their ancient direct ancestors! And
The ultimate purpose of these statements is to strengthen the source of divinity of the Mexica royal family by emphasizing the ancestral civilization respected by all tribes, and to upgrade the main god to the revered status.
Now that the kingdom has conquered the Totonac Coast and has many ruins of the Olmec civilization in its hands, it is natural to go further and strengthen the orthodoxy of this culture and belief!
Therefore, the establishment of the Olmec Holy City and the compilation of ancestral epics are essentially fighting for the highest authority to interpret culture and beliefs in the Mesoamerican world! Then, with the military conquest of the Alliance, the interpretation of this culture and beliefs will be
Implemented to all tribes in the world...Finally, in the narration and inheritance from generation to generation, the hearts of all tribes are integrated, and the common consciousness of a nation is completely condensed!
