Chapter 250: Wecchilopochtley
In the mythology of the Aztec civilization, when chaos was not opened, the gods gathered in front of the fire, and the god Viczipocchitri threw himself into the flames and burned himself, which became the sun and the era of mankind.
Vezilopochtli is the god of the sun and the god of war.
The Aztecs believed that whenever the sun set, the sun god would die, and blood and heart were the most precious things in man, called it "Eagle Cactus", and only by sacrificing blood and heart could the sun god be resurrected again and let the sun rise every day.
At the time of the sacrifice, the offering will be carried to the top of the pyramid-shaped temple, where it will lie on the sacrificial stone, and four men will grasp his limbs and let him fully extend.
The priest then drinks a cup of an anesthetic made of herbs, relaxes his body, and follows the curved shape of the sacrificial stone to fully expose his chest to the priests.
The priests would come forward with sharp knives made of flint to perform the sacrificial ceremony.
The executor knew the structure of the human body and was able to find the location of each organ, and he skillfully cut the ribs with a knife, put his hand in and grabbed the beating heart, quickly pulled it out, and raised it to the sky with both hands to offer to the sun god Viczipopochtli.
Subsequently, the heart is burned in an eagle-shaped plate.
In the Aztec cognition, at this time, an eagle spirit would fly down from the sky, take the soul of this heart, fly to the sky, and offer it to the sun god to eat, and the soul of this heart will always be with the sun god.
Murderous sacrifices were a daily practice, and after the heart was burned and sacrificed, the head would be cut off, and the headless body would roll down the steps of the temple and the head would be thrown on the skull next to the temple.
Aztec human sacrifices were held daily, and large sacrifices were held during major events, such as praying for rain and celebrating the completion of new temples, with thousands of people sacrificed at a time.
Twenty-five thousand people were sacrificed in five days in one of the largest sacrifices recorded in history, and the steps of the temple turned red.
The whole city smells of the sweet smell of human blood.
Of course, they also eat people.
According to Aztec beliefs, if you eat someone, you can get the advantage of the other.
Therefore, the weak and sick have no appetite to eat, and the stronger and stronger the warrior, the more popular they are.
The Aztecs even invented a bloody ball game with stones and human heads as balls.
The Aztec warriors believed that by eating their enemies, they would gain their strength, courage, and all that was good......
As for being sacrificed, it is a great honor.
While combing through his understanding of Aztec civilization in his heart, Shen Feng secretly observed the bombed entrance on the road in the house.
Originally, the road surface collapsed due to road construction and vehicle overloading, etc., which caused the ruins of Spider's Nest City to appear, but with the world completely infected by the evil spirit virus, there was no such thing as road construction.
Therefore, it was not until Shen Feng detonated it with a plastic bomb that the ruins of Spider Hive City appeared for the first time in this world.
The dull sound of an explosion echoed through the streets, and the remaining zombies around were immediately attracted by the explosion and rushed over.
It was daytime, when the zombies were most active, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred zombies had gathered here.
Shen Feng hid in a room on the second floor of a small building, observing the activities of the zombies with a grim face.
These zombies moved much faster than at night, but they still didn't have the slightest consciousness, and just rushed towards this side with instinct.
The first few zombies rushed too fast and fell directly into the entrance, and then heard the sound of angry roars coming from inside.
It is still unknown what is in the Spider's Nest City, and Shen Feng's plan is to let the zombies explore the path first.
If there are any monsters, let them bite each other.
The rest of the zombies wandered around, finding nothing of interest, and began to wander around like wild beasts.
It's just that Shen Feng then found that there were more than a dozen zombies in it who seemed to have a higher self-consciousness than other zombies, and they didn't leave.
Instead, they circled around the entrance, as if trying to see what was inside.
Polite white-collar workers, tattooed beards, flower sellers, uniformed schoolgirls, uniformed military police, and so on.
Judging from the clothing of these dozen zombies, their identities were different before their deaths, and they belonged to all levels of the entire society.
At this time, their actions were somewhat consistent, as if there was some kind of tacit understanding.
They're different from other zombies!
Shen Feng frowned, took out the telescope and was about to take a closer look at the situation of these zombies, when suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and then the dozen or so zombies let out a roar in unison, and they actually jumped down from the edge of the pit in turn!
And Shen Feng could clearly feel that the order in which these zombies jumped was not the same, first the strongest zombies, then the weaker zombies, and finally the zombies that looked like military police and gang members.
It's as if they're an action squad!
What the hell is going on?
Shen Feng was puzzled in his heart, but he understood that it was not that he was too careful, but that these zombies really had a problem.
It would be a big mistake to think of them as ordinary zombies as before!
Maybe you don't even know how to die!
Before, he basically encountered the zombies at night, relying on the cover of the night and the convenience of weapons to make a surprise attack, and then fled immediately, and did not carefully observe the situation of these zombies during the day.
Now it seems that there are some outliers among the zombies......
No, it should be some strange community!
At this time, Shen Feng was not in a hurry to enter the Spider's Nest City, but took out the binoculars and began to observe the zombies in the distance.
After looking around, the zombies were all scattered and wandering around as before, and there was nothing special about it.
Even if they get together, it's just an accident, and there is no communication with each other at all.
It's not the same as those zombies just now.
Shen Feng observed for a while and suddenly found a strange place.
The five zombies at the end of a certain street actually marched in a queue at this time, and they were still holding some weapons such as sticks and wine bottles in their hands!
If it weren't for the fact that their eyes were deep-set and bloody, and there were some wounds on the surface of their bodies, Shen Feng would have thought that these five guys with sloppy eyes and chaotic steps were five drunkards who had drunk too much!
Looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they are very purposeful, as if they are searching for something, and from time to time they look into the buildings they pass by.
These zombies, too, are a strange cluster!
Seeing the strangeness of the other party, he waited for a while to make sure that no new "zombie community" appeared, and then he came out of the hiding place, carrying the jar of the zombie brain at his waist, wearing a sealed protective suit to shield himself from his smell, and ran towards the entrance with a gun.
At this time, most of the zombies around were scattered, and with the cover of the zombie brains, there was no obstacle along the way.
Coming to the entrance of the ruins, Shen Feng jumped and jumped directly.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound when his feet landed on the ground, and there was a pile of sand and soil under this entrance, so it was not too high, and it was only two or three meters to jump down, which was not a problem for Shen Feng.
In front of him was a dark underground cavern, Shen Feng put on a night vision device, walked down the mound, and soon came to the real ruins on the ground.
As far as the eye can see, it appears to be an ancient Aztec city, with no walls, but some stone buildings with some ornaments from the tribal civilization of ancient Mexico.
At the same time, a strange feeling welled up from the bottom of my heart, completely different from the previous encounter with the Lord of the Void, this feeling was full of despair, imitation, anger, hysteria, although it was just a seedling of emotions, but it did not know when it might grow.
Shen Feng snorted coldly, and the silicon-based brain instantly released radio waves to send out a stimulus to the biological brain, counteracting this emotion.
As far as he could remember, the Aztec city was so square that if you walked from the edge to the interior, you would definitely reach the location of the temple.
It is the heart of the city and the most important place.
In the darkness, the surrounding square stone houses are scattered, and the sound of walking and roaring can be faintly heard around.
It should be the zombies that rushed in just now.
However, they all entered the depths of the ruins, including the group of more than a dozen strange zombies just now, and they were all gone.
Shen Feng took the gun and walked forward along the road that had existed for an unknown amount of time by the faint light of the night vision device, and among the ruins of the houses and the road that he passed along the way, there were many human bones, as well as some pottery, stone tools, and so on.
These human skeletons lie on their backs as if they were dead in their sleep.
Some glittering gold, silver, and jade objects fell around the human bones, and they looked very exquisite.
In addition to the ancient Chinese people, the Mayan and Aztec civilizations in South America also loved jade and had their own unique jade culture.
Shen Feng casually picked up a piece of green jadeite in the shape of a cloud, and found that this thing was very similar to Gouyunpei, the ancient Hongshan culture of Huaguo, which made people leisurely and fascinated.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the center of the front of the ruins, moving with the air currents in the empty underground ruins, sounding very strange, as if someone was whispering in the ear.
But Shen Feng vaguely felt that the two-byte sound was very strange, as if he had heard it somewhere.
He listened in the dark, and when he listened a few times, he suddenly felt terrified, and the cold hairs on his body suddenly stood up.
The whisper is:
"Shen - Feng ————"
