Chapter 23: Thunderbird, Teotihuacan
Although the village mentioned by Mulan is not far from Mexico City, it is very difficult to find, in the middle of the mountains and dense forests. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Le and the three of them worked hard to finally find there.
Because she was more anxious about Robin's situation, she immediately inquired about it after arriving, it turned out that the woman who suspected Robin had come here to look for a skull or something, but she didn't find it here, she left a message to the people in the village, if there were clues, you could go to Teotihuacan to find her.
Now that he got the clues, Su Le wanted to go to Teotihuacan immediately, but Mulan asked him to help solve the village's difficulties first.
It turns out that there is a reason why the village is poor, and if there were roads here, the situation would not be so bad. But every time the people of the village built a road, a huge ptarmigan came to destroy it.
Lightning and thunder, flying sand and rocks, and the road is not easy to walk after. As a result, the people of the village began to move outward, and the population became smaller and smaller. However, there are still many people who have feelings for this land left by their ancestors and are reluctant to leave.
I don't know how long it will take to solve this problem, but Mulan has already promised others, and Su Le decided to try it first. In the next few days, everyone began to build the road again, and sure enough, soon the Thunderbird appeared.
Su Le and Thunderbird threatened each other a few times, and the two sides disagreed, so they immediately started to move. Su Le threw out a large number of thunderbolts, and the Thunderbird was also condescending, spewing high-energy thunderbolts at Su Le from his mouth.
Neither side defended, and soon both sides were in a state of flux. However, although he looked a little embarrassed, he didn't actually suffer much damage, because both of them were not afraid of the thunder and lightning attack.
In fact, this time Su Le let Thunderbird, he could have defeated Thunderbird, but in order not to disrupt the course of events, he deliberately retained his strength.
Mulan saw that she couldn't intervene, so she decided to transform into Garuda. Thunderbird saw that the other party also had a big bird, he didn't dare to slack off, for the sake of safety, he wanted to run away first.
When the four of them saw that he wanted to run, they immediately chased after him, but the Thunderbird has two abilities, wind and thunder, and it is really fast to fly. That is, after the transformation, Mulan can barely catch up, Garuda blocks the thunderbird, and the two big birds fight in the air.
However, Mulan's half-hung transformation technique is not yet mature, and it requires a lot of spiritual power, so she gradually loses her upper hand, and then quickly returns to her human form and falls from a high altitude.
Thunderbird was also seriously injured when he was fighting with Mulan, and Su Le and the others arrived one after another, so he didn't dare to fight, and immediately flew into the distance and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Athena catches Mulan falling from the sky, and Aritoma immediately treats Mulan...... However, after the treatment, Mulan was still very weak.
That night, everyone took turns to take care of Mulan, and when it was Su Le's turn, Mulan woke up, and the two flirted and scolded for a while.
Su Le then gave Mulan the feathers of Amun God in his body, and before leaving, he also obtained the ancestral crystal skull in the village, and then took Yarito and Athena to Teotihuacan.

Teotihuacan means the capital of the gods in the Indian language. It is located between the valleys of Popocatepel and Istacevat volcanoes, 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, covering an area of more than 20 square kilometers. The main ruins of the ancient city are the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, the Butterfly Palace, and many more.
Built in the 2nd century AD, the Pyramid of the Sun is a trapezoidal shape facing east and west, and the interior is made of 2.5 million tons of earth and sand, and is paved and inlaid with huge volcanic stones carved with colorful patterns. The tower body is 1 million cubic meters, divided into 5 floors, 65 meters high, and there are 236 steps in the front, which can go straight to the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, there used to be a 10-meter-high sun temple, which was the place where the ancient Indians worshipped the sun god.
The Moon Pyramid is a place where the moon god is worshipped. It is architecturally the same as the Pyramid of the Sun, except on a smaller scale, built 200 years later than the Pyramid of the Sun. The Pyramid of the Moon, though small, is finely built, with more than 200 steps with different angles of inclination. The Moon Pyramid sits in the north and faces south, the site is 150 meters long, 120 meters wide, the tower is 46 meters high, it is also divided into 5 layers, there are many colorful murals painted on the stacked stones outside, and the wide square in front of the tower can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
To the south of the Pyramid of the Moon is the Palace of Butterflies, which is the residence of the religious elite and dignitaries, and is the most gorgeous place in the city. The cylinder is engraved with an extremely delicate pattern of butterfly wings, which is still brightly colored today. Beneath the palace has now been excavated a conch temple decorated with beautiful feathers.
Connecting the buildings of the ancient city is the Avenue of the Dead that runs through the city from north to south. The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon are located on the east and north ends of the Avenue of the Dead, respectively, and the Butterfly Palace is on the west side of its north end.
Overall, the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in Teotihuacan are comparable to the pyramids of Egypt in terms of scale and architectural art.

After arriving in Teotihuacan, Sule, Arito, and Athena wandered around every day, but found no sign of Robin.
Ya Liso insisted that Robin was here, and Su Le knew that this was the case, and Athena had no say, so the three of them kept wandering around, and soon Slender Chun-Li was connected to them.
Then Su Le and the three of them were first taken into the nearby mountains and forests, and then into a hidden cave, and walked for a long time, and finally arrived at a relatively wide place, similar to a square.
Slender Chun-Li asked Su Le to wait in the underground plaza for a while, and she asked Robin to come over. Su Le took a look at the surroundings, there were a lot of ancient style utensils, but he didn't see the coffin.
Although the entrance to this cave plaza is not in the center of Teotihuacan, it is surmised that this should be under the ground of the ancient city, and the underground of some important building, based on the long distance they have walked underground, and the surrounding objects.

Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, the pyramids of Teotihuacan are not mausoleums, but a place of worship to the gods. The pyramids of Teotihuacan are also called the Aztec pyramids, but the pyramids were not built by the Aztecs.
In Mexico, archaeologists have found human fossils from 11,000 years ago and discovered Paleolithic cultures. The history of the Americas is known for very little, beginning around 2300 B.C. 1250 B.C. ~ 200 A.D. is the pre-classical culture period in the valley of Mexico, and the remains of those ancient cultures such as pottery and clay figurines show that the local tribes have begun to engage in settled agriculture, and have a management organization and a religious organization.
The Maya culture, which flourished between 300~900 AD, was the peak of classical culture, and the Maya people living in the northeastern part of Lake Patten and the southern Yucatan Peninsula in present-day Guatemala created the only written language left in the Americas, the Mayan script, and established a fairly accurate solar calendar.
The Maya had a high degree of achievement in architecture, sculpture, and painting. The walls, columns, and staircases of their ancient temples and palaces are adorned with elaborate reliefs and carvings. The paintings are colorful and have a variety of subjects, such as depicting war scenes and celebratory parades.
Although the Mayan civilization later declined, the so-called apocalypse of 2012 still made the Maya and the disaster movie a fire. Today, the earth is still the same, but the Mayans and their civilization have become more known to more people.
The Aztecs were relatively late in civilization and were not necessarily as advanced as the Mayans. They came here hundreds of years after the place was in ruins.
The Aztecs were stunned by the magnificent architecture and thought that this was a city that only God could have built. This is where the name Teotihuacan, the capital of the gods, comes from.
Perhaps the Aztecs also considered the two huge pyramids to be mausoleums, so they named the main road that runs through the city from north to south as Avenue of the Dead.
