"Oh, you're talking about the descendant of the Heavenly Serpent God, that's incredible!"
The long river goes north, and the lagoon flows. Red Lake Town is located between the river and the lake, and seven long boats are anchored at the junction of the river and the lake. At this moment, the epic poems of various Mayan tribes were slowly carried in the evening breeze at the mouth of the river. Just a few words spanned thousands of years of rise and fall!
"This starts from the bygone golden age!... The entire Mayan land, from the coast of Yucatan in the north to the mountains of Guatemala in the south, is more than two thousand miles from north to south. From south to north, it can be divided into There are 700 miles of northern lowlands, 700 miles of central basin, and 700 miles of southern highlands. This vast rainforest is dotted with hundreds of tribes and city-states, lasting for three thousand years!"
Tikalo looked far away and raised his head slightly, as if he was reminiscing about ancient memories. He paused slightly and his tone became serious and serious.
"However, although the Mayan tribes are scattered north and south, they have a common origin, which is the Maya in the Golden Age, the city-state of the gods in the Central Basin! Thirteen hundred years ago, in the endless rainforest of the Central Basin, many descendants of the gods were everywhere. Under the guidance of God, the golden age began and the most glorious ancient poems were written. At that time, the entire central basin was filled with cultivated farmland, built canals, vast cities, continuous star observatories, and towering The temples of the gods of the clouds!..."
At this point, Ti Carlo's eyes were filled with yearning. He couldn't help but sing a Mayan song that has been passed down for thousands of years, with a timeless and melodious voice.
"The gods came from the sky, leaving behind the gods in the forest to guide the people on the earth! The Mayans, bathed in the starlight of the gods, under the leadership of the gods, built towering temples and vast Stadium, build a tower of stars, build a magnificent city-state!..."
"There are eight million stardust in the sky, and eight million mortals on the earth. There are 80,000 bright stars in the night sky, and there are 80,000 stargazing platforms high up. The gods have 8,000 shooting stars, and the city-states have 8,000 shooting stars." A temple. There are eight hundred gods in the divine world, and eight hundred descendants of gods in the human world!..."
"Countless mortals work day and night, and countless pyramids rise from the ground. Long-term stone tablets carve myths and epics, and inherited boards record the mysteries handed down by the gods. Corn people, just follow the footsteps of the gods, and the footsteps of the giants will follow. It will never stop! Like the lava surging in a volcano, like the strong wind blowing on the sea, from the earth of the human world to the starry sky of the divine world, the soul will never stop!..."
Tikalo sang loudly, with longing, imagination and dreams for the golden age. Chihuaco, the veteran militiaman, blinked and thought about it for a long time before he came back to his senses and shook his head with emotion.
"Hey! My God! Seven hundred miles of rainforest, eight million people...how many groups of people are there? How can we build so many temples if we stay in the rainforest?" ..”
"Eight hundred gods, eight hundred descendants of gods? Damn it!"
The main god priest Tomat raised his eyebrows and his eyes were sharp. Then, he thought of the Kingdom’s miraculous hot air balloon and muttered to himself,
"From the earth of the human world to the starry sky of the divine world? The Mayans never stop?..."
"With so many people, so many descendants of gods, and so many city-states, why don't we just turn them into a pot of porridge?... No wonder we have to build so many human sacrifice stadiums."
Puap stared and touched the copper ax on his waist. Soon, he began to urge urgently.
"Where is the descendant of the Serpent God? Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
"The Mayan city-states of the Golden Age were densely distributed in the central basin. The most glorious among them were the god capital Tikal and the snake capital Calakmul. The two great city-states competed with each other, fought with each other, and fought for each other. The leadership of the various Mayan tribes lasted for hundreds of years, and finally ended with the victory of the divine capital! The divine capital Tikal has since become the capital of the gods, and the leaders of each tribe have led the Mayan tribes to the peak of the Golden Age. !”
"...However, according to the records of our ancestors, the real name of the gods thousands of years ago should be YaxMutal, 'the great knot'. In ancient times, the knot also symbolized the divine snake . And 'Kara' is a snake, and Calakmul means 'the place where the divine snake lives'... Therefore, the descendants of the gods who rule in these two most glorious city-states all inherit the traditions of the Serpent God. The bloodline is the most respected descendant of the Heavenly Snake God!"
"Ah! Okay, okay! What is this Tikal, what is Calakmul, where is the location?"
Puap couldn't wait, clenched the copper ax in his hand, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Are there many of their divine descendants, are they easy to catch?"
Tikalo smiled half-heartedly, glanced at Puap, and shook his head.
"The City of Gods and the City of Snakes are both in the rainforest deep in the central Maya. From here to the east, you have to go through more than a thousand miles of jungle to reach the ruins of the two great city-states."
"What! Ruins?"
"Yes! No matter how magnificent the golden age is, it will also come to an end, just like the sun will go to dusk. When the city of Tikal was at its peak, the confident and ignorant descendants of the gods did not know how to offend the gods. The gods led them He left in anger, and terrible divine disasters came immediately, which lasted for two hundred years! Two hundred years of floods and droughts, two hundred years of killings and sacrifices, and unrecorded horrific disasters... Two hundred years later, the Central Committee Hundreds of city-states in the basin were all destroyed by divine disasters. It was a dark age when countless descendants of gods were wiped out and countless tribes died! Even the stone tablets with long history have stopped six hundred years ago forever, with only a few words of fear engraved on them. , that dark and unclear history..."
Ti Carlo's expression became dark. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, still unable to calm down the fear and sadness in his heart for that era. This is a deep and indelible emotion that our ancestors left unclearly in their epic poems. After a while, Ti Carlo sighed quietly.
"The rainforest has re-covered the farmland, and birds have nested on the top of the temple. The observatory is covered with spider webs, and the stadium is filled with hares... The once densely populated central basin suddenly turned into a green desert. The remaining ministries Just like fleeing, they stayed away from there in fear, no longer willing to stay in the dead city-state. The golden age of the Maya was over! Then came the great north-south migration of the Dark Ages."
"The remaining descendants of the gods from various tribes, with fragments of knowledge about the gods, re-established new city-states in the Yucatan lowlands in the north and the Guatemala highlands in the south, and even formed alliances. From the Great Migration to the present, there have been For more than six hundred years, the northern and southern Mayas also flourished again. Of course, compared with the golden age, this kind of prosperity is nothing more than a kestrel compared to a golden age, and a bright moon compared to the sun!"
Having said this, Tikalo blinked and spoke calmly before Puap asked anxiously.
"Each of the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent Gods from the Divine Capital and the Snake Capital migrated to the Yucatan lowlands in the north, where the fleet was about to arrive. More than six hundred years ago, they all established new settlements in the northern lowlands. The city-states gradually multiplied and grew... However, the descendants of the gods only lived for a hundred or two hundred years, and the Toltecs' Eastern Expedition army surged from the plateau!"
"The Toltecs rushed like ferocious tigers, gnawing at the flesh and blood of the descendants of the gods. They believed in Quetzalcoatl, and their capital was in Chichenyincha. With the help of Mayan craftsmen and divine knowledge, they built Come to the Qiqin Yincha Quetzalcoatl Temple! This temple contains countless astronomical knowledge. It is a remnant of the golden age, and it is also the inheritance handed over by the descendants of the Sky Serpent God after they surrendered... However, in the trust Under the rule of the Toltecs, the descendants of the Serpent Gods have always been in a miserable situation. The Toltecs often held great sacrifices, taking away the blood of the most respected descendants of the gods, and using various methods to offer them to their main god, the Quetzalcoatl. God Kukulkan..."
Speaking of this, Ti Carlo clenched his teeth, his expression filled with unconcealable hatred. Chihuaco glanced at the Mayan merchant strangely, and the other party suddenly realized it, lowered his eyes, and softened his tone.
"The cruel rule of the Toltecs, centered on Chichenyincha, lasted for two hundred years and finally came to an end. Two hundred and seventy years ago, floods and droughts broke out alternately, and divine omens revealed the demise of the dynasty. Qiqin The kings of Qinyincha were frightened and held sacrifices more frequently..."
"The warriors of Qiqin Yincha captured a young Serpent god and threw him into the deep sacrificial well. They wanted to use the god's respected blood to please the rain god Chak who controls rainfall. .And this descendant of the Heavenly Serpent God who is destined to be extraordinary, his name is Cocom!..."
Tikalo paused, looking at everyone present with some kind of inexplicable expectation. However, everyone came from the Mexican plateau and had no understanding of this name that was resounding throughout the Mayan tribes and recorded in mythological epics. The bald Mayan businessman lowered his head and coughed twice in embarrassment before continuing.
"Ahem! The divine descendant Kokom was born extraordinary. There was something strange in the night sky when he was born. Chagar birds were surrounding his house and chirping incessantly!... The nobles of Qiqinyincha were afraid and tied his hands and feet. Plunge into the deep sacrificial well, two hundred meters underground!”
The Well of Sacrifice (Saote) is a famous deep underground well and cave near the Chichen Incha Temple. There are no large rivers in the northern Maya lowlands, so the famous large city-states are located around deep natural wells to obtain stable and reliable water sources.
"Born to be extraordinary? Two hundred meters underground?"
The main priest Tomat frowned, with suspicion in his eyes. However, there was no doubt on the face of the Mayan businessman Tikalo, only respect and admiration from the heart.
"Kokom, the descendant of the god, has the most respected blood. He comes from the city of Tikal and is blessed by the Serpent God! He fell into a deep well. The elves in the water helped him remove the rope, and the elves from the earth helped him remove the rope. Give him great strength! Step by step, he climbed from the steep underground to the mouth of the cave. Then, he came back from the death sacrifice, bringing with him the blessings and protection of the gods, and brought back a new name: !Honac Seil Koyinch, 'The Bearded Squirrel of Prediction'..."
"Uh, how is that possible? This Cocom was really rescued by the elves, not secretly rescued by others?"
The old militiaman scratched his head and asked doubtfully.
"And this strange name, what does it mean?"
"...Kokomu, the divine descendant, is blessing the Serpent God. There is no doubt about it. Dozens of divine descendants have witnessed it with their own eyes!"
Mayan businessman Ti Carlo replied firmly with a straight face.
"As for this name, oh, that's incredible! Cauich means foresight, foresight, and the divinity of a prophet. On the surface, it's a 'bearded squirrel', but think about it, what does a bearded squirrel look like? Woolen cloth?"
"What does it look like? A squirrel can't pretend to be a bobcat even if it has extra beards. Can't it be a tiger?"
Chihuaco scratched his head, looking at Ti Carlo's darkened face and smooth head, he suddenly realized.
"Could it be a hairless monkey or a hairy turtle?"
"...It's the divine snake!"
Tikalo gritted his teeth and told the answer with a dark face.
"In Mayan mythology, the bearded squirrel is the divine snake! At that time, people regarded it as the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, but in fact, he was the incarnation of the serpent god! In other words, he was the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl. , the divine descendant Cocom, is the son of the snake god with the ability to predict, and was born to lead the Mayan people and establish a new kingdom!"
"The god Cocom performed miracles and declared the name of the god! His deeds were spread among the northern Mayan tribes, and he became a hero respected by the Mayans. The nobles and warriors of the Mayan states all respected his divinity and united under him. Under the flag!... The confederations fought against the rulers of Qiqin Yincha for several years. Finally, two hundred and seventy years ago, they overthrew the rule of Qiqin Yincha and established a new kingdom! "
Speaking of this, Mayan businessman Ti Carlo's eyes shone with reverence.
"The heroic god Cocom led the Mayan nobles from various states to overthrow Chichen Yincha and resettled the capital in Mayapan! Mayapan is a holy city with a long history and an ancient city established by our Mayans in the golden age. , and has nothing to do with the Toltecs..."
"Since then, Mayapan has been the land of the gods, the capital of all states, the 'model and standard of the Mayans', and the immortal city of gods! And Cocom, the heroic god descendant, is also in the temple of Mayapan, among countless gods. The descendants and nobles bowed down and became the 'Kings of the Maya'! The Cocom family, descended from the Serpent God, has since become the royal family of Mayapan, ruling all the Maya tribes in the north for two hundred and twenty years!..."
"That's it! Descendants of the Serpent God are from the Cocom family, in Mayapan!"
Puap suddenly realized. He grinned, showing sharp teeth, and held a copper ax in his hand.
"Tikalo, so as long as we go to Mayapan, we can find the Cocom royal family? Meet the descendants of the Serpent God?..."
"...Hahaha!..."
Tikalo suddenly threw his head back and laughed. He laughed miserably for a long time, and even his eyes were a little moist. Then, under everyone's doubtful eyes, he shook his head and sighed.
"We Mayans all respect the royal family Cocom and regard them as the real kings of the Mayan tribes! However, forty-eight years ago, the leader of the Xiu family, Ashupan Xiu, led tens of thousands of warriors and suddenly rebelled against the Cocom The royal family launched a sneak attack on Mayapan, the royal capital! He led the family warriors and brutally massacred the royal capital for ten days, and then set fire to the magnificent Mayapan. This was a long-planned rebellion, and it was a despicable and shameless betrayal! All the Kokom royal family and all the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent God were killed by the Xiwu family!..."
"From then on, seven hundred miles from north to south and nine hundred miles from east to west, the great Mayapan Kingdom was destroyed! The entire northern lowland Maya was immediately divided into sixteen clan emirates, ruled by different divine families. The inheritance came from the divine capital of Tikal One lineage, the most respected descendant of the Serpent God, has completely disappeared among the Mayan tribes..."
"What! The Descendant of the Heavenly Serpent is gone?!"
Hearing this, Puap was shocked, his face turned green and white, and his whole body felt weak. Chihuaco looked at Lao Pu doubtfully again, thought for a moment, and spoke.
"Ti Carlo, I remember you said before that in addition to the city of gods, there is also a city of snakes, which are also descendants of the gods of the heavenly snakes! Where did they go after that?... People with noble blood like this, They are all good at deceiving people. You Mayans also seem to have great faith in that noble bloodline, they will definitely be good at it!"
"Captain Chihuaco, you are really like a turtle, with great quiet wisdom."
Ti Carlo smiled and praised him sincerely. Then, he pursed his lips, gritted his teeth secretly, and then said with a calm smile.
"The descendants of the Serpent God in the Snake City are closer to the northern lowlands. They also escaped from the divine disaster and more descendants and tribes escaped. They established their rule in the city-state of Uxmal and merged with the ancient local nobles. . Subsequently, they knelt down and cooperated with the rule of Qiqin Yincha, and continued to grow and develop. In the last years of Qiqin Yincha's rule, they also joined the army of the hero Totom, participated in overthrowing the old dynasty, and in the new kingdom Become a powerful and powerful leader of the city-state until the kingdom is destroyed...and their family is Xiu!"
