The ax rose and fell, warmth sprayed, and the rich smell of blood spread in the temple. The chiefs of various tribes fell down everywhere in the temple, as if they were sacred sacrifices. The idols cast shadows, the bonfires flashed orange, and the stone temples flowed blood red. Black, yellow and red together set off the fair-skinned snake priestess in the center, making the smile on her face even more beautiful.
"Miawa...Chief...I avenged the family master!"
Warrior Chief Qiyan, covered in blood, came to the snake priestess holding the head of Ozley, the chief of the Lake Sacrifice Tribe. Then, he knelt down on one knee, raised his head high, and dedicated it to the only winner.
"Very good! Witness the ancestors! The new Lord God will forgive you everything!"
The snake priestess Miawa nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her white hands, and took Ozley's head. She stroked Audrey's young cheek, and after a moment's thought, she gently closed the other's frightened eyes.
"Ah! What a handsome head!... Let me lend it to you!..."
The snake priestess murmured softly, then looked solemn. She looked at the warrior commander Qi Yan, and for the first time, she gave a stern order in the tone of a chief.
"Qiyan, pledge your allegiance to me!"
"The ancestors and gods bear witness! Chief Miawa, I will guard your side, fight for you, and die for you!"
"Very good! I accept your allegiance and will give you the power and rewards you deserve!"
The snake priestess looked sternly, stretched out her blood-red hand, and held the other party's hair. She does not believe in oaths, but needs the ritual of allegiance to strengthen the inertia of obedience.
"Go! Recruit all the personal guards that brother has prepared!"
"Yes! I obey you!"
Warrior Commander Qi Yan pursed his lips and strode away.
In the temple, there was only the snake priestess holding the head. She did not look at the dead Chichini, nor at the unconscious chiefs. She just held the head solemnly, walked step by step to the tall statue of Quetzalcoatl, bowed and presented the head to the altar.
"Honored Quetzalcoatl! This is your priest, offering you the last sacrifice and the last praise!.... After the Mexica enters the city, I will personally knock down your statue and completely convert Lord God!... Please forgive me! It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me... Anyway, I never thought that I could go to the beautiful Kingdom of God after death..."
After saying that, the snake priestess smiled charmingly, raised her head, and looked directly into Quetzalcoatl's eyes. The god remained silent, only the turquoise eyes still shone with the light of wisdom. The priest and the god stared at each other in silence until there was a commotion outside the temple. Soon, dozens of Golden Bay warriors poured in, and incredible shouts came from the mouths of these personal guards.
"What! The head of the family...is dead?!"
"Chief! How did the chief die?"
"Quetzalcoatl! What happened?"
"We are just waiting outside the temple. Why didn't you call us in in time?"
Facing the questioning of his personal guards, the warrior commander Qi Yan gritted his teeth, with silent sadness on his face. He opened his mouth with difficulty and spoke in a low voice.
"It was the chief of the Jihu tribe who assassinated the head of the family...I have already avenged the head of the family..."
"Damn it! As the family head's personal guard, how could you let this happen!"
"Wasn't he under anesthesia? How can he still move?!..."….
"You should kill yourself and follow the chief!..."
"Shut up! The gods are watching you! Shut up!"
The crowd was making a noise, and a high-pitched and stern order suddenly erupted in the temple! Although this command came from a female voice, the majestic tone and tone were exactly like the dead Chief of Dayu. When everyone heard the news, their expressions were stagnant.
I saw Miava, the snake priestess, standing solemnly in front of the Quetzalcoatl statue, standing on a high altar. She held Ozley's head high in one hand and the sacrificial dagger in the other, like a sacred sacrificial ritual. At this moment, her face was colder than ever before, making everyone fearful and chilling.
"Holy Quetzalcoatl, witness my words! Chief Ozley of the Sacrifice Lake is very vigilant and drinks very little blood wine! He pretends to be numb
, but he launched a sneak attack and assassinated my brother! Then, I killed the chief of the Jihu tribe to avenge my brother and sacrificed him to God! "
"My noble ancestors, give me the honor of inheritance! I am the venerable snake priestess, inheriting the divinity of the mother of giant snakes, and also have the blood of the ancestors! My brother has big things to do, which are related to the survival of the Jinwan tribe! Since he unfortunately died, now I will temporarily take over as the chief of the tribe!"
"Ah! What? Are you coming to take over as chief?..."
"I personally sent an envoy, met His Highness the Mexica, surrendered to him, and obtained his promise to protect the entire clan! Only by obeying me can you save the Jinwan Tribe! A big event is imminent, and the action is right in front of you. Among you , who is dissatisfied?!"
Hearing this, all the guards looked at each other and became speechless for a moment. They are not only the personal guards of Chief Da Ri, but also control the warriors of the Jinwan tribe. They are equivalent to the leaders under the chief who control the core military force. Now that the chief is dead, the succession of the new chief cannot be separated from their approval. The status of the snake priestess is indeed revered, and Miawa is also of divine descent, so she is indeed qualified to inherit the tribe. only...
"According to the tradition of the tribe, the position of chief should be recommended by the council of elders, and brave divine warriors should be elected!"
The elder guard captain Qi Yu stood up and objected.
"Myawa, although Chief Chikini is dead, there are still several divine bloodlines in the tribe! For example, the chief's nephew who is good at fighting, Yin Erwei!"
"Oh? Yin Erwei? He is indeed brave and good at fighting. But no matter how brave he is, can he lead you to resist the Mexica army and resist the divine punishment of thunder?"
The snake priestess Miawa walked down from the altar with a cold expression. She came to the guard captain Qi Yu, looked him directly in the eyes, and asked sternly.
"Or is it that he has met His Majesty the Mexicans and obtained the other party's promise to surrender, so that he can save the entire clan?"
"Uh...this..."
Faced with the snake priestess's questioning, the captain of the guard, Qi Yu, frowned and found it difficult to answer. The snake priestess always presented herself with charm, but he had never seen such a majestic posture like a chief. After a few breaths, he slightly avoided the other party's sharp eyes and avoided responding.
"Miawa! In any case, the tribe has not had a female chief for hundreds of years! Besides, the death of Chief Chikini has not yet been clarified. At this time, Yin Erwei is more suitable than you!"...
"Oh? Is it because Yin Erwei has always been close to you, so he is more suitable?"
"Ah? Witness the gods! My heart is red and there is no darkness!"
"Hmm...that's it!..."
Hearing this, the snake priestess nodded slightly and lowered her hands, seeming to have the intention to compromise. However, the next moment, she looked stern, and the obsidian dagger in her right hand was extremely swift, sharp and precise, grazing the neck of the guard captain Qi Yu.
"Hey!..."
"Huh?! Ho! Ho!..."
The face of the captain of the guard, Qi Yu, instantly showed unbelievable shock and astonishment. He opened his mouth, and the air pressure penetrated, and bright red splashed out from the crack in his neck, splashing all over Miawa's body and face. In the end, he couldn't say anything. He just opened his eyes wide, breathed out warm life, and fell down with a "pop".
"Witness the gods! I will personally perform the sacrifice and cut open your heart to see if it is red or dark!"
The snake priestess Miava stretched out her bare hand and wiped the blood from her face calmly, as if she had killed a noisy crow. Then, she looked at everyone coldly and declared in a deep voice.
"Miahua Kotel, the Mother of the Serpent, combined with the Warrior of the Sun and gave birth to the ancestor of the Totonac people! I inherit the name of the Mother of the Serpent, and I also inherit her divinity! Golden Bay The tribe is passed down among men, and the warriors of the sun rule the tribe, but in hundreds of years of fighting, they have brought the entire tribe into the black abyss on the verge of extinction!"
"At this moment, the Mexica people have unified the plateau, and are sweeping the world like galloping wolves! This is a new era that has never been seen before, and it is the time when a coastal hurricane strikes! If we rely on the force of the tribe to resist stubbornly, There is absolutely no way you can survive a hurricane!"
"So, only with the wisdom, planning and softness of the Snake Mother, only I! Can you survive, preserve the whole clan, and even make the clan stronger!... Now, who among you is still dissatisfied?!"
There was solemnity and deathly silence in the ancient temple. Many of the guards were silent. Looking at Miawa, who was dripping blood on his sacrificial robe and carrying his head, their eyes gradually changed. After a while, Samurai Chief Qiyan was the first to kneel to the ground and salute Miawa respectfully.
"Ancestral Witness! Respected Chief Snake Mother! I am willing to be loyal to you, fight for you, and die for you!"
"Witness Quetzalcoatl! Chief Serpent Mother, I pledge my allegiance to you!"
"You are the new chief! We follow you!..."
Following the trend, dozens of guards knelt down one after another and saluted the standing Miawa. The newly appointed Snake Mother Chief stepped on the blood all over the palace, walked through the crowd step by step, and came to the altar again. She looked down at the prostrate bodyguards and headmen, standing side by side with the Quetzalcoatl statue, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She looked through the blowing wind to the dark west. Dozens of miles away in the west is the Mexica commander's camp.
In the unprecedented changes of the tribe, with the help of the intimidating power of the Mexica, she finally transformed from the snake priestess who was watched by everyone to the snake mother chief who controlled the tribe, and embarked on the road to power she dreamed of!
"O Quetzalcoatl, you witness everything! From today on, I am the chief of the Serpent Mother, Miavakotel, who controls the tribe! I will follow the path of the Serpent Mother, control the hearts of the tribe, and obey those who defeat me. , gave birth to the kings of the tribes of Totonak!..."
"Under the powerful Temple of Death! As long as she can grant me power, I will follow her loyally... Hehe! This thousand-mile-long seaside, five-hundred-mile-deep jungle, and millions of Totonak tribes The rule of China cannot be achieved by relying solely on force!...".
