It turned out that when the flare gradually went out and the underground re-entered darkness, Li Huan keenly caught a glimmer of light. When the flare was completely extinguished, he confirmed the light source he saw. Every inch of this underground world glowed with a glowing green light, as if some kind of luminous paint was absorbing the light of the two flares and began to shine.

"There's fluorite here...... It's just right, save our flares, this entire underground cave is a huge pearl of the night......" Li Huan groaned.

Fluorite is a kind of industrial raw material that is not rare and even can be seen everywhere, the main component is calcium difluoride, which is a chemical raw material for the production of hydrofluoric acid. The modern artificial night pearl is made of fluorite, and it is not difficult to process. In physics, the luminescence principle of the night pearl is that the stone with phosphorescent material absorbs external energy after being exposed to sunlight, and then releases these energies in the dark to form a silvery white brilliance, which is closely related to the trace impurities in the mineral crystals. Some luminaries of good quality will fluoresce after being irradiated by strong radioactive sources, and some can remain for three or five months or even a year.

"Isn't that worth much!?" Rodman now relies on the value of money to support his belief to go on.

"Hehe, it's not worth much. It is not magical to glow, manganese-containing cleavage, rare earth ore, barium-nickel ore, etc. will glow, and I look at the light mainly green mixed with silver, so I guess it is fluorite. It's like the luminous hands on your watch, but with some luminescent substance added to it, you can buy a large piece for a dollar. Li Huan smiled and said, "Let's go, maybe there is a baby in front of you?"

The whole underworld turned a glowing green, as if everything was glowing. And the ground that has been crystallized, in this green world, is even more like starlight. This place was already terrifying enough, but now it glows green, and walking through the green fossil jungle is like walking into hell. There is a bleak green everywhere, petrified trees tens of millions of years ago, and the entire underground world is quiet and terrifying, and the pale green light is very oppressive.

Li Huan wanted to check if this statue was weird, whether there was a soul and consciousness for Xiao Fei to replenish, and with the help of this green fluorescence, Li Huan led everyone and finally approached the huge statue.

The statue sits on a miniature Aztec-style pyramid with no temple at the top of the pyramid. The statue's two heads are unusually slightly downward, as if staring at something. The decoration on the statue is typical of the Aztecs, with two heads with hideous expressions, large mouths, and bared teeth.

"It's scary. Li Huan commented.

"I think it's supposed to be a crackdown on the ghosts. Rodman went around in circles.

"Can you not always talk about ghosts, don't you know that you are a crow's mouth?" Li Ang rolled his eyes: "Wait a minute, the ghost is really recruited, I'll see what you do!"

"Alright, don't make a fuss...... There are words on the steps of these pyramids...... "Li Huan is not afraid of ghosts, he is afraid that there are no ghosts, if there are ghosts, it would be good." After walking around the miniature pyramid a few times, Li Huan keenly noticed that there were lines of handwriting on the dusty pyramid steps, and he carefully wiped these "steps", and sure enough, the steps were engraved with dense "picture words".

Pictorial writing is the prototype of writing, or primitive writing, which is directly related to spoken language, and it records the sounds and meanings of words in the language, so it is said to be the prototype of writing. The use of pictures and words is a qualitative leap in the history of human civilization. Pictorial writing is different from literal painting, the former has a direct connection with the spoken language, which records the sound and meaning of words in the language, and the latter does not have this characteristic.

However, if there is a record of use, Xiaofei can read it.

After a few seconds of translation and comparison, Li Huan knew the origin of this pyramid, as well as the collapse of the powerful Aztec empire

process—and, most importantly, where the wealth of the Aztecs and the soul and consciousness that Li Huan had been looking for floated away.

It turns out that this pyramid, hidden deep in the rainforest, was the first pyramid built by the Aztecs.

Many, many years ago, a group of people from the Aztlan tribe, instructed by the god of war, searched for an eagle standing on a cactus with a snake in its mouth, and found it where it could settle for generations. So they didn't come to an island in Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico, where they found the eagle of the Divine Decree, and settled here and named it Tenochtitlan, which is how Mexico City came from.

But before that, this group of people really found a lot of wrong places, they went on an expedition from the Aztlan tribe, and the first place they landed was the location of this white pyramid. At that time, they used this place as a place of promise in the instructions of the "god of war", and built a pyramid dedicated to the god of war, that is, the pyramid to worship the god on the temple, after the construction was completed, the people of this tribe took a large number of prisoners, held a bloody sacrifice, and the text records that at that time, "blood covered the entire pyramid, and from a distance, the pyramid was bright red". After the sacrifice, they planned to build a village around it, but no sooner had they built a small village than a plague struck it.

In that ignorant era, the plague represented a disaster from heaven and the wrath of the gods, and everyone could not understand why they had found a home according to the instructions of the god of war, and there would still be a plague?

In fact, where is the god of war angry, Li Huan guessed the reason for the plague attack when he saw this.

After the pyramid was built, they held a living sacrifice here, you must know that this is a tropical rainforest in Central America, known for its abundant rainfall, all kinds of microorganisms multiply very quickly, and the living sacrifice is held in the pyramid that has just been built, there must be a place to dispose of the corpses. For example, archaeologists have discovered a new underground tomb in Mexico City, about 30 meters underground, located near the Great Temple of the Aztecs, made up of at least 6,500 human skulls mixed in a tower-like limestone structure.

And in the Mesoamerican rainforest, the corpses that everyone doesn't understand will bring the plague, so they are scattered at will, and the corpses are overflowing with flies after a few days of exposure, which naturally brings the plague. The Aztecs did not know how the plague came to be, but felt that they had misunderstood God's will, so they immediately set out to find a new place to stay, and the pyramid was forgotten.

From here, the Aztlan tribes traveled a long way to what is now Mexico City, where they established the Aztec Empire's glorious civilization that lasted for 260 years.

But every civilization has a day when it will decline.

When the Spanish colonists landed on the American continent, the Aztec royal family felt that something was wrong when they were the "white-skinned gods" for the first time, and when the Spanish conquistadors showed their claws for the first time.

They began to quietly transfer their wealth.

After so many years of construction, the Aztec Empire expanded outward with large pyramids, forming a complete city-state, and such a complete city-state, where it is hidden, may eventually be looted by the enemy. So the royal family sent the "last hero of the Aztecs" to the white pyramid built by the Aztecs for the first time more than 200 years ago with a large amount of treasure and wealth. Because he couldn't use too many soldiers, the general ingeniously used "plants" and "animals" as guards for the pyramids. The bleeding mechanism on the sacrificial temple, as well as the dracuen's blood in the underground storage room, were designed by the general. While hiding the treasure and digging underground passages, he happened to discover a huge field

Feeling that this was God's will, the general slaughtered a large number of slaves and captives, suppressed them with a statue of the god of war, and left these sacrificed souls wandering forever in the underworld, guarding the wealth of the Aztecs, and leaving behind a vicious curse that would not allow anyone who dared to invade the pyramid to die well.

But the idea is good, the truth is cruel.

The Aztec Empire had accumulated a lot of gold and jewelry, but the Aztecs had been perverse for hundreds of years, and no tribe had come to their aid when they were besieged. In order to save his empire, the gold treasures stored here have been used as "military expenses" to send various tribes at that time to ask for help. But perhaps the civilization was too brutal, or perhaps the heavens could not see it, and when the wealth of the Aztec Empire was depleted, the tribes decided to stand idly by.

It just so happened that the Spanish conquistadors officially attacked with muskets and artillery, and in this way, a glorious civilization perished.

Li Huan translated and read these words to everyone one by one, and after listening to them, everyone's faces couldn't help but collapse: "Boss, that means that this was once the treasure house of the Aztec Empire, and later because of the war, these treasures were moved out again, so we have nothing?"

"Well, according to this above account, that's it, there were 'piles of gold' and 'rivers of gems' here...... The picture says so, but as the war began, they were all moved out for reinforcements, until the wealth was gone, and the Aztec Empire officially ended. Li Huan said.

"Fighting, what kind of war! I know that I am going to be destroyed, and I still spend so much money!" Rodman said angrily: "The 'piles of gold' and the 'rivers of gems', my God, if they were put in the present, how much would they be worth now! The Aztecs are really losers!"

"Hehe, you have to say this with your conscience. Li Huan smiled dumbly: "This is the wealth of the empire, and it is also very reasonable to take it out and ask for reinforcements when the country is about to perish." If you Citi get to that point, I feel that not only the wealth of your country, but also the gold stored in various countries will have to be moved out for reinforcements under your central bank. ”

"Then you're right. Rodman lamented: "It's a pity, it's worth how much it has to be left until now." ”

"Well, it's hard to say, but according to the estimates of historians today, the Aztecs revered gold, and at that time gold was produced in Central America, and they probably collected nearly 2,000 tons of gold, which is equivalent to the gold reserves of a superpower today. Li Huan said.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Rodman's heart ached even more.

It is indeed a pity that the gold of the Aztec Empire, which is the top ten lost treasures on the earth, has attracted the yearning of countless people for hundreds of years. Knowing that this treasure was finally transported out as military expenses is indeed a bit laughable.

"What, then, is that curse? Could it be like the pyramids of Egypt, where whoever goes in will die?" asked Rodman again.

"This one is not explicitly stated either...... I like, the so-called curse may be a kind of saying, right?" Li Huan thought for a while: "Ancient people liked to use various adjectives or conjectures to describe events, and I haven't found anything wrong until now. ”

"Boss, what now, what should I do?" The treasure was gone, Li Ang looked at Li Huan, waiting for him to make a decision: "Let's go up?"

Without the treasure of the Aztecs, Li Huan didn't want to come to find this treasure, he wanted to see if the sacrificed souls had dissipated. According to the records, these souls should be guarding this underground world, and Li Huan came down, except for a few "whispers" heard by Rodman, Li Huan did not find any clues...... Maybe it's been too long since those souls dissipated, right?

Just when Li Huan was thinking about whether to leave, suddenly, a strong wind sound sounded overhead!
