Three hundred and one. Temple of the Inca kings
Ai Xiaohai is the most unaccustomed to these things.
What bullshit bloodline, what god's bloodline purity. These hellish statements are made by the so-called gods. As a result, there are still people talking about it to this day.
"There are two things that interest me the most." Yuan Xiye said lightly: "First, is whether the golden rod exists, and if it exists, then where has it gone now?" A gold rod more than two meters long, which was enshrined as a sacred relic by the Incas, could not be said to be missing. Second, the existence of the Temple of the Sun. ”
Well, it seems that we are going to get to the crux of the matter.
Ai Xiaohai carefully listened to every word Yuan Xiye said.
"I've been searching for the whereabouts of the golden rod." Yuan Xiye said slowly: "In the end, I bought an ancient book with a lot of money, and there are many stories from Inca myths and legends......"
Yuan Xiye pointed to the ancient book in front of him, and Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but lean in......
On it, it is the same as the ancient book that Ai Xiaohai found in the Raptor Cave, there are only pictures, no words.
The first is of a man wandering around in the wilderness, very embarrassed, ragged, with a tattered stick in his hand, which he uses to support his body on hikes and against possible beasts.
The second picture is that this person has found something...... When he turned to the third picture, Ai Xiaohai's eyes were as bright as starlight......
The tattered wooden stick in this man's hand has been turned into a stick of pure gold!
A real golden rod!
And not only that, this person actually changed into a clean and beautiful clothes.
Did this man find a great fortune? Wipe. When people are lucky, they can actually find treasures while walking?
Then, the guy began to have followers behind him...... And there are more and more followers...... It's just that these followers are all dressed in tatters like this man's previous ones...... Some people don't even have a full set of clothes......
Well, it's completely understandable, a large group of people like Hanako suddenly met a rich man, and they couldn't be excited. If the rich man gives them food and money, they will not listen to you. Worship you like a god?
The origin of any denomination is probably like this......
Really. The following diagram proves Ai Xiaohai's guess......
This guy with the golden rod was standing on a big rock, and seemed to be giving some kind of speech there.
No need to guess, he must be making up his own theory about God.
Even be able to guess. He was saying that the sun god was supreme. And he is the son of the sun god and so on.
Various denominations. Whatever the faith, no matter what the country is, there is one thing that is the same:
There is a supreme God in heaven, and God has mercy on the world. And he sent his son, En, who is usually a son, to come down and save the world.
If you don't believe it, go back and check, ten out of ten say so.
Ai Xiaohai continued to look at this ancient book...... This Son of God already had many followers, so he stopped in one place. Many, many of his followers began to carry stones and wood.
Build a city! They built a city there!
A majestic ancient city has been built!
However, in the process of building the ancient city, many cruel scenes are depicted in the book.
Some of the former followers of the "Son of God" were appreciated by the "gods" and became foremen. With sharp sticks in their hands, they constantly drive the followers of the "gods" to work. Work hard, work without any breaks.
When they resisted, the foremen would poke them with sharp sticks and even stab them to death.
It was the blood and lives of countless believers that finally created the ancient Inca city.
The beginnings of the Inca Empire were born. And that "Son of God" also became the "Inca King".
Classes began to emerge, and those foremen who had preceded them became privileged aristocrats; And those who built the ancient city continued their mission as slaves.
The Inca king raised an army and went around to conquer other tribes that did not want to recognize his status as "sons of God." As a result, the Inca Empire began to grow rapidly.
He married many wives, and it is not known whether he had his own sister as the myth says.
He also had many children, each of whom he sent to run a newly conquered tribe.
This is the original sub-envelope system.
Even as a "son of God", the Inca king did not receive any special care, and the years mercilessly aged him.
In the next picture, the Inca king suddenly began to build a temple, which is probably the legendary temple of the Sun of the Inca Empire.
Wait, this place is very familiar?
Ai Xiaohai turned the ancient book to the front and made a comparison, and sure enough, the place where the Temple of the Sun was built was the place where the Inca king found that the golden rod suddenly became rich.
Was there any special significance for the Inca kings to build the Temple of the Sun here?
The Temple of the Sun was slowly erecting, and more and more slaves were dying. The dead slaves were thrown into a large pit that had been prepared long ago. The bones are piling up, and more slaves are dying.
Those who are still alive do not know when they will follow in the footsteps of their dead companions.
Finally, the magnificent Temple of the Sun was built, and the bloody thing happened......
The slaves who had managed to complete their work for countless years, they thought they could survive, but they did not expect that a tragic fate awaited them.
The Inca king let his soldiers kill every slave, all of them! Not a single one was left!
The bodies of the slaves were thrown into the pit, which was then filled......
Ai Xiaohai's brows furrowed tightly...... It's so cruel, this scene is really too cruel......
But the story doesn't end there......
The soldiers and generals who had killed the slaves were gathered together, and the Inca king rewarded them with fine wine. The soldiers drank happily, but then they fell to the ground in pain, clutching their stomachs.
Poison? Poison in wine?
The Inca king smiled and looked at the corpses in this place, as if he was very happy......
When the Inca king left, one of the soldiers suddenly got up from among the corpses. He may have carried the poison, or perhaps he had long suspected the Inca king and had not drunk the poisoned wine at all.
He staggered out of this terrible place......
Then the soldier began to record all this with pictures......
This ancient book was actually recorded by a soldier who was lucky enough not to die?
The story doesn't end there......
The Inca king died, and his son sent him to the temple of the sun, and then the temple gates were sealed from then on. No one is allowed in anymore.
Could it be that the soldier who escaped the disaster had been observing the Inca king's every move? Or does he want revenge?
The soldier appears in the book again. And it's at night. He evaded the soldiers guarding the temple, but there was no way to open the temple door.
In the last picture, the temple still exists, but a large amount of gold and silver jewelry has been painted around the temple.
And. A long, long gold rod......
Ai Xiaohai understood in an instant: "Could it be that the golden rod and the treasure of the Inca king are in the temple?" ”
"According to my analysis, it is quite possible." Yuan Xiye nodded: "The Inca Empire is known as the Golden Empire. But the title was actually given by the Spaniards. According to my guess. The Inca kings actually discovered a wealth that was even greater than the later Golden Empire, including this golden rod. It's just that he didn't tell anyone, not even his wife and children. And even after death. He also ordered himself and the treasure to be buried together. Where the temple is, where the fortune is! ”
Ai Xiaohai frowned: "But the Sun Temple of the Inca Empire was destroyed by the Spaniards, and the wealth of the Inca King was not found?" ”
"So I judged that the temple destroyed by the Spaniards was not the temple of the Inca kings in the true sense of the word." Yuan Xiye quickly gave the answer: "I checked the history, although the Inca Empire has no writing, so there is no history that belongs to them has been completely recorded, but according to geological research, the location of the ancient Inca Empire, there was a large volcanic eruption, almost half of the Incas died, which also caused them a great disaster, had to move their homeland, develop to other places, and finally formed the land ruled by the Inca Empire as we know it now." ”
"So the temple of the Inca king should be in that place destroyed by the volcano!" Ai Xiaohai quickly said, "But where is that place?" ”
"Kiyanbas!" Yuan Xiye gave the answer for the first time: "The current small country of Kiyanbas is the location of the ancient Inca Empire!" It was a country with very strong crustal movements, frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and was known as one of the worst living conditions in the world. The population is very sparse, and at least some places still have primitive tribes. No one wants to go there at all. ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the most dangerous country." Ai Xiaohai touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Godfather, that's probably the idea you played, right?" ”
Yuan Xiye had a smile on his face, and he didn't hide anything at all: "Yes, I'm interested in all the treasures, and I can't wait to put all the treasures in your ...... The King's House, how could you come up with such a weird name...... I was particularly interested in that golden rod, and I wanted to see it with my own eyes...... Xiaohai, the temple of the Inca king has been hidden for a long time, and it can even be said that only you and I may know this secret in this world...... If there is anyone else in this world who can find this temple, it must be you! ”
"You think too highly of me." Ai Xiaohai habitually touched his nose again: "There are a lot of treasures waiting for me to discover, and I don't know which one to find first." But what you said about the temple is so mysterious, I'm going to make it difficult......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing: "Godfather, do you know a person named Delis?" ”
"Delis? I've met Vincent a few times. Yuan Xiye frowned: "Did the Guangming family find you?" ”
Sure enough, Yuan Xiye also knew about this bright family. Ai Xiaohai talked about the situation before and after when Delis came to find him, except for the part where she slept with Delis at the end. He was barely hiding anything.
"Oh, that Mount of Light in the Queen's crown is fake?" Yuan Xiye's brows tightened: "This is going to be spread, and it has to cause an uproar." These guys from the Bright Family are all crazy people, Xiaohai, you must be careful when dealing with them. ”
Ai Xiaohai smiled: "I know they are very powerful, but if you provoke me, I'm afraid it's enough for them to have a headache." ”
"Don't be careless." Yuan Xiye said slowly: "I once heard something about the Guangming family in Vincent......
That was in the late nineteenth century.
There's a guy named Campbell. The Duke of Primon, a member of the British royal family, has a high status in the United Kingdom. Once, a man named Edmund visited the Duke with only one purpose. Want to buy a painting from the Duke's Palace.
That painting was not by some famous artist. It wasn't worth much, but the man named Edmund offered a whopping £10,000, which was a remarkable amount at the time.
Truth be told, Campbell could have sold the painting. But the duke's temper was very eccentric. He asked why he wanted to buy the painting. The other party's answer was that he just liked it.
The Duke was not convinced at all. Edmund was rejected on the spot.
But Edmund did not give up, and continued to visit his home for the next year, begging to buy the painting. And it raised the price to a staggering 20,000 pounds.
"If you have so much money, just hire someone to steal it." Ai Xiaohai muttered.
"You think stealing a painting from a duke is that simple?" Yuan Xiye smiled: "Not only that, but the duke has already sensed the existence of such a possibility, and hid this painting in a very hidden place in advance......
The Duke's repeated refusals finally made Edmund lose his last patience, and after another visit also had no effect, Edmund said to the Duke: "This is my last visit, and I will not come again." I can wait for you for three days, where I live you should know. If, after three days, I still don't get the results I want, then I think you'll have to live with the terrible consequences. ”
The duke didn't believe it at all, and three days passed in a blink of an eye, and nothing terrible happened, which made the duke even more sure that the other party was just scaring himself.
However, the nightmare finally came.
Half a year later, suddenly someone accused the duke of treason. Camber, of course, doesn't want to admit it. But he soon finds himself in the middle of a great conspiracy.
The human and physical evidence were all put in front of the duke, which made the duke difficult to argue.
He was secretly stripped of his dukedom and imprisoned in his castle.
But that's just the beginning.
Two months later, the Duke was found dead from food poisoning, and after the Duke's death, more evidence began to point to his betrayal of the British, and all his family property was confiscated.
"Those people must be looking for that picture, right?" Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, they were looking for that painting, and they got it." Yuan Xiye sighed: "When I first heard this story, it was said that they were looking for a lost treasure, and now I hear you say this, probably because this painting has something to do with the Mountain of Light." ”
You don't have to guess to know that it must be the Guangming family who framed the duke.
This story made Ai Xiaohai feel a little scary, a British duke was actually killed by what they said he would kill? So what else is there that they can't do? In order to find the Mountain of Light, this family is simply unscrupulous, and as long as anyone blocks their way, they will be ruthlessly eradicated.
"So, you must be careful when you are an enemy of them." Yuan Xiye gave a warning: "I know your intention is to control this family, but it is not so simple for the Bright Family to be able to develop so large now, they have their own set of ways to survive. If you try to control them and you fail to control them, but they detect it, you will be in a very dangerous situation. ”
"There are always things that have to be done." Ai Xiaohai said lightly: "The Bright Family may be very terrifying, but they have a fatal wound. ”
"Oh, what is it?" Yuan Xiye asked curiously.
"Rotten, very rotten." Ai Xiaohai sneered: "They are still maintaining an old set of management methods, the times are advancing, history is advancing, but they are standing still internally. If they can't make good use of the power in their hands, if they can't destroy them from the outside, destroy them from within! ”
Yuan Xiye quickly understood that his godson was preparing to use that Delis.
However, in order to use Delis, you must first find the Koh-i-Noor, but where to find a diamond that has been missing for so many years?
It's not like looking for other treasures, at least there are some clues. And there is not the slightest clue about the Mountain of Light.
But looking at Ai Xiaohai's appearance, he didn't seem to care at all.
Yuan Xiye knew that Ai Xiaohai had many secrets, and no one had told him, and he was not ready to ask further: "Xiaohai, you have your own ideas, I don't care about you, what you are going to do, I don't care about you, but remember to remember, although you are my godson, you are the descendant of the Ai family, the only descendant!" ”
These words made Ai Xiaohai's nose sour.
The descendants of the Ai family, the only descendants! The entire Ai family is actually the only one left?
He actually didn't want to tell Yuan Xiye that dealing with a Bright Family was not the most dangerous thing, the most dangerous thing was the black dragon that was about to fully awaken. Once this black dragon wakes up, all the Light Family, the Mountain of Light, will be destroyed.
Even, including the entire human world.
And the only hope is pinned on himself! Liability? This may be a real responsibility, although Ai Xiaohai is not willing to take on such a responsibility.
Responsibility.
There are some things that you can't dodge no matter how much you dodge! (To be continued......)
