680 Ancient capitals

Li Huan didn't have the ability to tear the space with his bare hands, so he could only walk down. A man and a dog slowly approached the Gothic building, and stopped beside the small garden outside, where there was a broken iron fence, the rusty fence seemed to be covered with the scars of sharp cuts, and there were suspicious dark red marks left on it, and a half-worn wooden plank was hanging on the fence, the handwriting on it had faded and was blurred, but because it was etched, it could still be distinguished after wiping.

However, wiping is impossible to wipe, after some tossing, Li Huan found that no matter how he wipes, he will return to the original appearance, as long as he gives up wiping and carefully identifies it with his eyes wide open. After careful identification, Li Huan found that it was a string of flowery and ancient Latin characters. This kind of writing is rarely used in the world.

"Idle eggs hurt, do you seem to be educated?" Li Huan looked at this string of flowers with a toothache in Latin.

Although he was complaining in his mouth, Li Huan still recognized the content, Xiaofei loaded the language pack, and Latin was not a very esoteric text. Li Huan carefully identified the contents of this sign. This is probably a common piece of door number nailed to the door. However, it is a little different from the ordinary house number, this sect was issued by the government at the time, which is a bit similar to the ID card of the house. Depending on the identity of the head of the household, the pattern on the sign is also different. Li Huan carefully identified that this sign was the door number of an earl's mansion.

The count's name was Tandal, and in addition to one name, there was an unclear surname and family name, and in addition to the count's title, his identity was a businessman and a philanthropist.

"An unfortunate earl's mansion. Li Huan concluded: "He is also fortunate to be chosen by such a rare spectacle." ”

"This is a very typical Gothic style of architecture, although there were Gothic buildings in later generations, but the use of this style to build their own houses was popular in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. That is to say, this count may have been a man of both eras. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, only Spaniards made extensive use of Gothic architecture, so it can be concluded that this count must have been a Spaniard. Fei said.

"Guess what's there to guess, there is still the payment of the issuing unit under this brand...... I'll take a look. The sign is clearly written...... Well...... Tenochtitlan. Li Huan immediately began to search for information related to this name on the virtual screen. Fortunately, although Li Huan and Xiao Fei were involved in this illusion, Xiao Fei's networking function was still there, and the information related to the name was quickly displayed on the virtual screen.

"Oh...... This is the sign issued by the capital of the Aztec Empire!" Li Huan exclaimed: "I understand, this is the time machine that the Immortal is looking for!"

......

Tenochtitlan is the ruins of the ancient capital of the island of Lake Texcoco, now underground in Mexico City. Founded on June 20, 1325, it became the capital of the Aztec Empire in the fifteenth century until it was occupied by Spain in 1521. With an area of about 13 square kilometres, about 60,000 houses and a population of about 200,000 at the time, it was one of the most famous artificial islands in the world.

According to legend, the ancestors of the Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan in the north, and they followed the instructions of the sun god to go south to Lake Texcoco in the Anahuac Valley, and when they came to the island in the middle of the lake, they saw an eagle with a snake in its mouth perched on a cactus, an image that told them that they should build a city here. In 1325 the Aztecs founded Tenochtitlan, a huge artificial island, in this area.

The Aztecs had their own

Its own calendar system is strictly divided into classes. When the water level of Lake Intescoco is shallow and there is a threat of flooding during the rainy season, they built a dozen kilometers of dikes in the middle of the lake to resist flooding and to regulate the salinity of the water and ensure the normal growth of crops.

Tenochtitlan was likened to the "Venice of Mexico" by the Spanish colonists who invaded later.

Its rivers meet and canoes carry goods through them. There are also three stone causeways leading to the lakeshore, and suspension bridges are erected at intervals to control access. The Aztecs built artificial lakes on the outskirts of the city and planted corn, amaranth, and flowers on them to supply the city.

The fresh water used in the city is fed from a spring on the opposite bank of Mount Chapultepec, and the stone canals are designed to ensure a continuous water supply, and the fresh water is stored in large and small ponds and distributed to the inhabitants in earthen pots. The Aztecs paid attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and the entire city was well organized, and the Great Temple complex in the center was spotless. In 1519, the Spanish colonist Hernando Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan with his troops. Driven by the gold and other interests of the "New World", Cortés proclaimed himself to "open up territory" for the king of Spain, and at the same time made it his mission to change the "barbaric and backward" primitive civilization and make it Christian to come.

In 1520, Montezuma II died in a conflict in which the Spaniards claimed that the revolting Aztecs had killed the king with their own hands to proclaim a new king, and that the Aztec accounts attributed the murder to the Spaniards. Despite the covert help of the surrounding city-states, the colonists were nearly wiped out by the Aztecs, who dubbed the Battle of Sorrows.

In 1521, Cortés made a comeback and conquered Tenochtitlan. The Great Temple was destroyed, and the Spaniards erected a Christian church on its site. The Spanish colonists seized Tenochtitlan, but could not cope with the threat of flooding in Lake Texcoco and decided to drain the lake. Most of the Texcoco Lake System has disappeared, with only a few small lakes remaining at the edge. After that, the population continued to pour in, the city expanded rapidly, and for a long time afterward, it was inhabited by the Spanish conquistadors.

But later, this small city suddenly ushered in a catastrophe, and no one knows how it happened, and there are even few records about it. In the relevant records, it is only recorded that this small city first had a terrible plague, almost to the point of ten rooms and nine empty, and a large number of communities passed through the market, turning this plague land into a place of death. Eventually, a terrible earthquake struck and buried the city, which was inhabited by a large number of Spanish conquistadors. It is only in the underground of Mexico City that we can see a little bit of the deplorable state that the city once suffered.

Some say that the destruction of the city was not sudden, but was the result of the Spanish colonizers' own fault.

They slaughtered a large number of Aztecs, and after destroying the Aztec Empire, they also occupied the capital of their own city. The ghosts and resentments of the Aztecs lingered over the city for a long time, and eventually the countless grievances finally converged into a plague that attracted a swarm of snakes and eventually sank the entire city into the ground.

Anyway, in the story that Li Huan searched for, this is a sad place for the Spaniards who were shrouded in disasters, ravaged by the plague, and later moved in. It was also the most tragic disaster in the history of Europeans in the creation of the New World.

"In other words, we have come to the most tragic scene in the history of the colonists, but how did it get stuck at this point in time?" Li Huan said.

"I don't know, but in history, the Aztecs are so mysterious that it's hard to say that they were

It's not that there is some way to guide natural phenomena, and this house is stuck in this point in time, so that it will not be destroyed or corrupted. Xiao Fei said: "Or just a coincidence, in short, anything can happen." Aren't you looking for an answer to what's going on in the rainforest, and maybe the answer is in this house!"

"Okay, that means it's the right thing to do, you still have to clear the customs. Li Huan understood now: "Is this called the will of heaven in the dark?"

"I'm an AI, and I don't know providence, but it's a fitting statement. Xiao Fei said seriously.

The providence that Li Huan said is this series of chain reactions. He dug up an Indian altar on the coastline of Los Angeles, like a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of the ocean, which eventually caused the revival of "Quetzalcoatl", and the Central American rainforest was shrouded in black fog. Li Huan really couldn't have imagined that digging out an Indian altar could trigger a series of **, but fortunately, there is really a providence in the dark, maybe the answer Li Huan wants to find is in this house.

No need for Xiaofei to be verbose, Li Huan took a deep breath, he had already opened the way in front, and Wangcai followed Li Huan and trotted, walked through the garden, and came to the gate of this Gothic building. The closer he got to the gate, the heavier the cold aura became, and when Li Huan walked through the garden, he could even see countless souls wafting in the air around him, who were howling miserably.

These revenants were also stuck in this place along with the stuck time node, and it would be wrong to say that they were revenants, judging by their physical strength, they should be some kind of soul life that has not yet evolved. After Li Huan saw these soul-like beings, he seemed to be able to vaguely guess what had happened in this city. After the destruction of the Aztecs, their souls hovered over the city, and eventually the mentally powerful individuals began to develop in the direction of soul life.

A small city is targeted by a large number of soul-like beings, and the consequences are needless to say, Li Huan even doubts whether the plague recorded in the history of the city is true, maybe it was these furious soul-like beings who did it. However, at that time, the Holy See was the largest, and the power of the Holy See was still a big country, and many serious kings killed people in the soul state, and no one dared to put forward this typical pagan remark.

But Li Huan vaguely felt that this was the case.

These half-soul beings seemed to sense the arrival of the living, and suddenly became agitated, and one by one faint shadows began to slowly approach Li Huan. Among them, the one closest to Li Huan pounced directly on his body before he could react. Li Huan has Xiaofei sitting in the sea of consciousness, and he has never been afraid of this kind of possession attack, not to mention the half-soul life, even if it is a special soul life, such as the immortal, there is only one end for possessing Li Huan, that is, being eaten and wiped clean.

Moreover, this kind of half-soul life is not only not a threat to Li Huan, but even half of the cultivators can easily clean them up, and for a superhuman like Li Huan, whose spiritual energy is almost materialized, there is no threat at all.

Sure enough, this half-soul life, as soon as it got into Li Huan's body, let Xiao Fei pull into the sea of consciousness, but before Xiao Fei began to digest it, it disappeared from the sea of consciousness out of thin air, and the next second, it appeared again in the position that had just pounced on Li Huan. When Li Huan found out that Xiao Fei had a problem devouring his soul-like life, he subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?
