Chapter 83: Stone Tablet Record, Bronze Compass (5k)
The barrier outside the temple has not disappeared, which also shows that Zhu Moyu can only lead Lingling to the dark side.
From the strange voice, Mo Yu knew that Quetzalcoatl had died long ago, so who is the so-called Quetzalcoatl to the outside world now? And is Quetzalcoatl a human or a demon?
The Yonglu was much longer than Mo Yu and Lingling imagined. They walked an unknown distance in it, but it seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg. There was a large, darker area hidden in the endless distance, this maze. The same dark corridor, I don’t know where it will lead.
Finally, some light illuminated the surrounding area. This was an empty area surrounded by towering city walls. When you looked up, you could see the boundless starry sky with bright starlight.
Seeing the building standing in the center, Lingling was stunned for a moment: "This is... the Pyramid of Kukulkan, are we out?"
The Pyramid of Kukulkan is a legendary building located in the ancient city of Chichen Itza. It has always been dedicated to Quetzalcoatl and is visited by countless tourists and believers every day.
It consists of two parts: the tower body and the temple. The bottom of the tower is square, symmetrical, with a large bottom and a small top. The four sides have sharp edges and corners, and gradually shrink upwards to a trapezoidal platform, with a tangible temple on top. There are ninety-one steps on each side of the tower, making a total of 365 steps on the four sides. Including the top platform, it is exactly the number of days in a year.
Fifty-two carved stone slabs are neatly arranged on each side of the tower. The number fifty-two also corresponds to an ancient local calendar cycle.
This ancient building will amaze future generations with its precision and mysterious and dramatic effects: at sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes every year, the side wall of a set of steps on the north side will curve under the sunlight. The curved seven-segment isosceles triangle, together with the snake head carved at the bottom, looks like a giant snake swimming from the top of the tower to the earth, symbolizing that Quetzalcoatl wakes up during the spring equinox and climbs out of the temple. Each time, the illusion lasted for a full three hours and twenty-two minutes, every second.
"No, we are in another dimension now, just like the place where the Qinling Holy Spring is." Mo Yu sensed his surroundings and determined the situation. He looked back and saw that the corridor leading here had disappeared. Instead there is an impenetrable wall.
"Then... maybe this is the real Pyramid of Kukulkan, and the ones outside are just imitations." Lingling made a bold but reasonable guess.
She carefully observed everything around her, and finally focused on the carved stone slab, which described a story in a rather abstract style, which should be about Quetzalcoatl.
"The things recorded here are completely different from the Kukulkan Pyramid outside. It is a subversive change!"
"How much can you understand?" Mo Yu asked. Unlike Lingling, who had studied similar things, the information he understood was also vague.
"The two stone slabs at the beginning are barely understandable, but they are completely different from the legends recognized by the public." Lingling said.
"How about we take down these slates?" Mo Yu knocked on the slates. Now that there is not enough time to crack them slowly, it is better to pack them up and take them away.
"...It's okay. You try it first. If it doesn't work, just make a rubbing." Lingling was stunned by Mo Yu's words. Then she thought about it and it was indeed a good method. It is better to study the original than the copy.
Mo Yu groped for the internal structure of the stone slabs, expecting to encounter some obstacles, but it turned out to be surprisingly smooth. They were like oil paintings mounted in a frame and could be easily disassembled.
Mo Yu's mental power swept across to see if there was anything wrong, but he found words that were difficult to see with the naked eye... More importantly, he could actually understand the meaning of the words!
[During the period when Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan ruled over all the worldly gods, people were rich in all kinds of products they needed for life. The corn god, flower god, rain god, water god, etc. help people with farming and fertility. Corn harvests are abundant, gourds are as thick as human arms, and cotton of various colors grows by itself without the need for people to dye it.
Birds of all colors and plumes soared and sang in the sky, gold, silver and precious stones were abundant, and Kukulkan made the world peaceful and life rich and peaceful.
But this happy period did not last long. Three groups of demons came from nowhere and broke the peace and quiet. The loyal and brave warriors of Quetzalcoatl volunteered to help Kukulkan and his subjects live a peaceful life. Fight off demons.
But three of the leaders were corrupted and corrupted by an unknown curse. They were the later god of war Huitzilopochtli, the god of darkness Disktripoka and the demon god Trakhupan.
After the fall, they were no longer loyal and brave, but became bloodthirsty, warlike and jealous. They forgot their original intention and wanted to destroy everything!
Under the leadership of Disktripoca, they exerted sorcery on the capital city of Turan. The God of Darkness dressed up as a white-headed old man and came to Kukulkan's palace and said to his attendants:
"Please take me to see King Quetzalcoatl. I want to have a few words with him."
The guards advised him to leave because Kukulkan was unwell and could not receive guests.
But the God of Darkness urged them to tell the God-King that the reason why he came was to heal the God-King. The guards went in to report on their behalf, and the God-King allowed to see him.
After entering the palace of Quetzalcoatl, the cunning God of Darkness pretended to be very concerned about the sick god-king: "How is your illness?" he asked, "I brought you a kind of elixir specially. , if you drink it, your illness will definitely be cured!”
"You came at just the right time," King Quetzalcoatl replied: "I have been thinking about your arrival for many days. My illness has become quite severe. My whole body has been affected, and I can no longer move my hands and feet."
The God of Darkness told King Quetzalcoatl that his medicine would be of great benefit to King Quetzalcoatl's health. King Quetzalcoatl drank some of the medicine and felt that his spirit improved immediately. The treacherous God of Darkness persuaded King Quetzalcoatl to drink one cup after another. In fact, the medicine was the latest spirit brewed by Dionysus. Soon, King Quetzalcoatl was drunk and unconscious, leaving him at the mercy of his secret enemy.
After Disktripoca charmed Quetzalcoatl with wine, he decided to seduce the daughter of King Weimark, the king who governed the worldly affairs of Turan under the will of Quetzalcoatl. The God of Darkness wants to use this to destroy King Quetzalcoatl's foundation and his image in people's minds.
The God of Darkness disguised himself as a handsome Indian and came to Weimark's palace under the pseudonym Tuweiyu.
Weimark's daughter was very beautiful, and the king regarded her as the apple of his eye. Although many well-matched princes and nobles came to propose marriage, they were all rejected because they were not favored by the princess who was more ambitious than her. The princess saw this disguised Tu Weiyu by chance, and couldn't help but be attracted by his strong and wild naked body, which aroused the desire for love between men and women that had been suppressed for too long. Moreover, the fire burned more and more fiercely, to the point where he was in a state of confusion, was unable to sleep or eat, and became seriously ill. After King Weimark found out the cause of his daughter's illness, out of love for his daughter, he decided to summon the strange Tu Weiyu.
Tuweiyu was brought before the king, and he fell on the ground in feigned horror and said:
"The villain deserves to die. He actually caused Her Royal Highness the Princess to become seriously ill with his despicable body. He deserves to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
Weimark thought in annoyance that if he killed this stranger, his daughter would definitely die, so he had no choice but to take a step back and said:
"If that's the case, do you have any good ideas to make my daughter healthy again?"
"The villain is neither a wizard nor a good doctor. He only has this naked body for the princess to control." The cunning God of Darkness said with ulterior motives.
Weimark thought that he had no choice but to do this, and sent Tuwei Yu to wait on him in the princess palace. Soon, the princess recovered from her illness, and her complexion became more rosy and beautiful. The story that she and Tu Weiyu were lingering in the palace all day spread throughout the palace and outside. King Weimark had no choice but to let them get married.
The strange relationship between Tu Weiyu and the princess made all the subjects very dissatisfied. They often talked about it: "Why did such a lovely princess marry such an immoral and immoral man? This prince-in-law must be a monster, specially here to seduce the princess."
After hearing the complaints of his subjects, Weimark felt deeply ashamed. In order to distract his subjects, under the instigation of the God of Darkness, he decided to go to war with the neighboring country Kot Punk.
The Toltecs were drafted into the army, heavily armed, and actively prepared for war. When they came to Kot Punk, a neighboring country that also believed in Quetzalcoatl, they deliberately let Tuweiyu lead his followers to lead the battle, hoping to kill him with the hands of the enemy. But the God of Darkness and his men showed great power, attacking cities and territories along the way, killing people like crazy, and soon conquered large areas of neighboring countries. Waymark held a grand celebration for Tuwiyu's victory. Tuweiyu's head was decorated with Indian warrior feathers, and his body was painted with strange yellow and red patterns in recognition of his illustrious military exploits.
The God of Darkness, who was admired by people, began to implement his second step plan.
In the name of King Weimark of Turan City, he held a grand banquet in the city, summoning young men and women from neighboring countries to attend the party, where they danced, sang and made crazy music to the sound of drums. Disk Tripoca sang a wonderful and beautiful tune and asked the people in the assembly to dance to the rhythm of his singing. So the people danced faster and faster. In the end, his steps were so fast that they all went crazy, and they were surrounded by Involuntarily following the beat of the death song of the God of Darkness, they rolled into a deep valley and turned into messy stones.
Later, under the guise of a warrior named Dejiva, the God of Darkness invited the residents of Turan and its suburbs to a garden called "Hochitla". When people gathered together, he used his magic power to activate a huge hoe that covered the sky and attacked them without restraint, massacring many people present. The rest of the people who fled in panic trampled on each other, killing and wounding all of them. Then, Disktripoca and his accomplice Trakhupan came to the largest market in Turan City. There, Disktripoca held a very small baby on his palm, and he made him dance and perform magic tricks on his palm. This baby was Huitzilopochtli, the god of war.
When the Toltecs saw this strange trick, they all rushed forward to see it clearly, and many of them were trampled to death. This made the Toltecs furious. They followed Trakhupan's trick and killed both the God of Darkness and the God of War.
Unexpectedly, after the death of these two gods, the corpses emitted a poisonous stench, causing thousands of Toltecs to fall ill and die. So the demon god Trakhupan instigated people to throw away the corpse. But when people were preparing to move the body away, they found that the body was very heavy and could not be moved at all. They gathered hundreds of warriors and tied the body with rope, but when they pulled the rope, it broke. All those who pulled the rope fell dead.
The evil spells of Trakhupan made the Toltecs in Turan very distressed. It was obvious to them that their country was declining in chaos, as if the end was near.
King Quetzalcoatl saw that his subjects had brought the country to such an extent under the drive of the demon god. He was very disappointed and angry. He decided to leave Turan and return to his homeland of Trabalan. He burned down all the palaces he had built and buried all his treasures.
He made the fields barren, the trees withered, and the beasts moved to the southern plateau; he dimmed the sun, and ordered all the birds with full wings to leave the Anajuac Valley and follow him to his distant homeland.
Depressed and sad, he came all the way to a place called Guaotitlan. There he rested for a while under a big tree and asked his attendant to bring him a mirror.
He looked at his face in the mirror and shouted: "I am old!" and then walked forward again, accompanied by the flute musician. When he was tired of walking, he sat on a stone to rest. He left a handprint on the stone. Later, people called it "handprint".
In the place of Coapan, he met the gods who were against him.
"Where are you going?" they asked him maliciously. "Why did you leave your capital?"
"I'm going back to Trabalan," said King Quetzalcoatl, "where I came from."
"Why do you want to go back again?" Those demon gods asked.
"I must return to our father," King Quetzalcoatl replied, "and one day you must return there too. Then I will come back here again!"
"Then, you can go happily," they said, "but please teach us all the techniques you know!"
"You don't need these, you will only destroy, bloodthirsty and war. Unless one day, when I come from the sea again, people will need them." King Quetzalcoatl said proudly.
Then, he came to the seaside, took a golden palace-like boat pulled by sea snakes, and sailed to Trabalan.
Never returned after this trip. 】
Is this simply a statement or a metaphor? Mo Yu fell into thinking.
"What's wrong?" Lingling put all the dismantled stone slabs into the magic storage device. If it weren't for this, it would be really difficult to carry these things that are taller than her. She noticed the change in Mo Yu's expression and couldn't help asking. .
"I saw something." Mo Yu told Lingling the information and asked her to read it with her mental power.
"This is one of the myths widely circulated in the Amazon River Basin, but some minor changes have been made in some places... It shouldn't be, this thing shouldn't appear here." Lingling looked at the wall behind the stone slab, and was also trapped in it. Thinking.
"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. We'll wait until we get back to Jiujiang City. Let's climb the tower now." Mo Yu held Lingling's hand, stepped on the steps, and headed towards the temple on the top of the tower.
I don’t know if those sitting in the temple are corpses, undead, or something weird?
Stepping onto the pyramid, the initially small-looking building suddenly became infinitely larger. The steps were hidden in the endless darkness, like a stone that had been floating in the cold, eternal, dark universe for who knows how many years. Taishan.
The texture of the stone steps became clear, and they were even several times higher than a human being. The steps seemed not to be climbed by humans at all, but more like they were set up for giants in mythology.
Walking up the stone steps, the entire pyramid seems to begin to shrink in layers. The steps get narrower as you go up, gradually reaching the point where people can step across them in one step.
Finally, they climbed onto the final platform. The door of the temple was open to them, with solemn sculptures standing on both sides.
The shadow of the enshrinement in the center was covered by a red cloth of unknown material. The appearance could not be seen clearly, and the shape could only be vaguely distinguished.
"We're here." Mo Yu looked around. It was too quiet here. There was no strange atmosphere or reaction at all. It seemed to be the same as an ordinary scenic spot.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yu approached the covered shadow and directly reached out and pulled off the red cloth!
The blue-bone skeleton on the altar is sitting there cross-legged, holding a bronze compass of unknown age in one hand. The body is slightly tilted, and the tailbone of a snake extends from the vertebrae. The bone wings on the back are spread out, like Taking a nap and seeming to be thinking, I couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the corpse of a human or a demon.
"Are you here?" The blue-bone skeleton suddenly spoke, and the bronze compass held in his hand floated to Mo Yu. Mo Yu hesitated and caught the bronze compass, but he could not feel any breath from it, whether it was the undead. The power is something else, as if this is an inanimate object.
"Do you know me?" Mo Yu frowned, "Are you Quetzalcoatl?"
The empty eye holes on the blue-bone skull stared straight at Mo Yu: "These are not important. The compass is in your hands. With this, the agreement is over."
After the words fell, the wind blew from nowhere, and the blue bones and skulls turned into dust and dispersed. At this moment, the entire Kukukaner Pyramid began to tremble, with the altar as the center, and the space began to collapse inch by inch!
It seems that the blue-bone skeleton is the anchor point that anchors the entire attached plane. Once it is touched, it will cause an irreversible situation.
Mo Yu didn't have time to think too much, and immediately protected Lingling with his body, and the space magic exploded with all his strength. At this moment, the bronze compass in his hand flashed, directly opening the portal back to the magic plane and covering the two of them!
"boom!"
The world was spinning for a while, and Mo Yu hugged Lingling and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, this was nothing to them.
"The cage disappeared and the ruins of the temple were destroyed?" Mo Yu stood up and looked at the surrounding environment. They were actually transported back to Wanshou Jiaolin by the bronze compass?
