Chapter 228: You are going to fix me with this operation!
"Then do you usually drink this coffee and spicy soup?" asked Wang Xijia.
He likes to drink coffee, and he also likes to drink spicy soup. But these two favorite drinks are mixed together, but I don't have any thoughts at all.
"We don't drink, we drink coffee. The parrot replied.
"Then you can just give me some of what you usually drink. Wang Xika said.
"But Yuan Guoshi said that you like coffee and spicy soup the most!"
"I don't like it, Yuan Guoshi is joking with me. ”
"I said, how can anyone love to drink such a bad thing? hahahaha"
"Hahaha......"
The crowd erupted in a burst of joyful laughter, and it seemed that the Aztecs also had a good sense of humor. Several people slowly walked into the Aztec palace of pure gold.
Most of the buildings inside the palace are made of gold and stone, which is luxurious and designed. Wang Xijia suddenly remembered that the Spaniards had come to the Aztec Empire and were also shocked by the wealth of the empire, and later waged a brutal war to snatch the country's jewels, and finally defeated the empire with advanced firearms and viruses from the Old World.
However, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen, and the arrival of Wang Xijia will change the course of history forever, and he will turn this planet into a modern planet thousands of years in advance. Let the people of the world directly change from primitive people to modern people, in one step, of course, including the people of the Americas.
In the travel seen by Wang Xijia in the previous life, most people traveled to ancient times without changing the direction of history. The person who traveled to the Qin Dynasty still assisted Qin Shi Huang as the emperor, traveled to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty or assisted Zhu Yuanzhang as the emperor, and traveled to the Qing Dynasty or let the fourth elder brother win the nine sons......
At that time, Wang Xijia thought, as long as he gave himself a chance to travel through, he must definitely change history for him -- otherwise, what else would he have to cross? If he traveled to the Qin Dynasty, of course, he would kill Yingzheng and become the emperor himself, and he would help Chen Youliang defeat Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and then defeat Chen Youliang, and then he would defeat Chen Youliang during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, of course, he would help the fourteenth elder brother defeat the fourth elder brother -- and then defeat the fourth elder brother himself.
It's a pity that history didn't give him such an opportunity, allowing him to travel to such a time of famine where three emperors and five emperors and mythical beasts were running everywhere. Then he also has to change the trend of history, since he can't help Chi You defeat Yan Huang, then he will defeat Yan Huang himself.
He doesn't care if he changes the direction of history or not, and if he doesn't change the direction of history, what else will he go through?
"Emperor, what are you thinking?" Tagila Coover watched Wang Xika staring at his palace in a daze, and couldn't help but ask the parrot to ask Wang Xijia how he felt after watching.
"Ahh You see, I have brought you gold...... "Naturally, such a complex mental activity cannot be told to Tagila Coover, and he will not understand it. It is simply an excuse that the gift was not brought with it.
Saying this, Wang Xika took out the gifts he brought: a large gold chain, gold armor, and the golden double-edged sword.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Tagila Couver whispered to the guard, who in a few moments dragged out a Aztec with all sorts of clothes tied up.
I saw Tajira Kufo raise his sword and cut off the head of a person who was tied up in an instant! At that time, blood sprayed more than two meters high. The severed head rolled to Wang Xika's feet, like a watermelon.
Wang Xika has also killed people, but he didn't expect this Tajira Kufo to kill people in front of guests! What is this for? Kill chickens to show monkeys? Liwei? Wang Xika quietly touched the AK47 he was carrying. In addition to bringing his bodyguards on this trip, he also prepared weapons, for fear of accidents.
Tajira Kufu's action not only made Wang Xika feel nervous, but Zach and Munch also touched their weapons. The gray beaver hurriedly glanced at Wang Xijia and said quietly: "Don't be nervous, people are respecting you!"
It turns out that the Aztecs like "human sacrifice", and when they encounter something happy during the New Year's holidays, they have to drag someone out to cut the sacrifice, and when they encounter unhappy things, they also like to drag someone out to cut the sacrifice, and when it rains, thank God for cutting the sacrifice, and if it doesn't rain, they have to cut down the sacrifice...... In short, cutting personal sacrifices was a particularly common thing in the Aztec Empire. It's like someone in the future who comes to visit you and kills chickens and sheep.
This is also a common thing in ancient times, and in ancient China, people like human sacrifice when they encounter something, and they find living people to accompany them for burial at every turn. The story of Simon Leopard's rule of Ye describes this characteristic in detail, saying that when he encountered a great water witch and a man, he advocated throwing one or two boys and girls down the river to worship Hebo, and later Simon Leopard threw these witches and gods into the river.
And Tajira Couver cut someone on the spot in order to "sacrifice the sword". In ancient times, the sword was a weapon, not an ornament, and as far as the sword was concerned, it was necessary to "see blood" in order to become a famous sword. When an ordinary person gets a sword, he usually kills an animal such as a chicken or a goose to "see blood". Among them, the "best" way of sacrifice is naturally to cut people. The man who Tagila Kufo had cut was a condemned prisoner, and it was his blessing that the king himself had executed him.
After learning about this, Wang Xijia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that later generations had read books about Mayan civilization, which also improved the Mayan people's love for sacrifice. The Mayans, like the Aztecs, were fond of finding people to sacrifice.
"Ahh
On the one hand, Wang Xika has been educated in modern civilization since he was a child, and he has an instinctive disgust for the custom of primitive people to kill people casually. But on the other hand, as a guest of Tagila Coover, he has a bad tendency to interfere with people's customs.
The remaining guards dragged out those who had been hacked to death by the king and buried their bodies. The skull is treated in a special way and then made into an ornament, which is exchanged for a "zanza".
This is the ability of the famous "headhunters" in South America to shrink people's heads. First, the skull in the human head is removed to obtain a "human skin/mask", and then the human skin/mask is soaked in warm water to clean the fat and connective tissue inside the scalp, and then the red-hot pebbles are put into this scalp pocket, so that the scalp shrinks, and finally shrinks to the size of an apple. Then licorice is filled into the shrunken scalp, the shape of the facial features is protruded, the opening at the back of the head is sutured, and the bottom is propped up with a wooden stick, and a shrunken human head specimen, or "zanza", is made.
When Wang Xijia read this knowledge before, he was looking at it with a "curiosity" mentality, and felt that these things were very far away, and they were things that only cannibals in remote places in South America could do. I didn't expect this to be quite common in the Americas, and in fact the Aztec Empire also had this technology.
Ancient people had a special habit of human heads, the Americans had a shrunken human head "zanza", and the Chinese civilization also liked to use human skulls as "magic weapons". The 100 single and eight parietal bone rosaries carried by the famous walker Wu Song were ground out of human skulls......
From a certain point of view, the ancient people really regarded man as an animal, and since they could kill cattle and pigs, why couldn't they kill people? They ate chickens, all kinds of animals, and of course people. It's a kind of "animism" in reverse, and you can't tell if it's a sign of respect for animals or blasphemy.
In short, in ancient times, it was very common to kill people and make people into handicrafts. Wang Xika didn't know how to evaluate these things - he could only change them slowly, he knew that it was not easy to get primitive people to give up their killing customs. In China, this kind of thing is basically something that happened in every dynasty, and it was already a matter after the Common Era, not to mention in this flood era that I don't know how many years BC?
He is not the kind of person who is impersonal, and he can endure things that he can't accept, especially on occasions like this.
Tajira Coover continued to look at the gifts brought by Wang Xijia with a normal expression, and he liked the remaining pearls, diamonds, jadeites and other gifts.
Wang Xika watched Tajira Kufu appreciate his gift, and regretted why he had given him a sword. In modern times, the sword has long been a weapon of art, but in ancient times, it was a real weapon for killing. If all you give away is gold, silver and jewelry, wouldn't there be no such things?
"Look, this is the camera I gave you, you can take pictures of people!" Wang Xika stopped thinking about those unhappy things, and continued to show Tajira Couver his gifts. Tajira Kufu was obviously fascinated by the gift of the camera, and looked at the photo brought by Wang Xijia, saying that it was a great invention.
He also suggested that Wang Xika take a few photos of him on the spot. Wang Xijia took a picture of him, and said that it would take a few days for the photo to be washed out, but he could teach this technique of washing photos.
Tagila Kufusi was overjoyed and said, "Emperor, I have a gift for you!" and called the guards to carry out a box of gold.
Wang Xika discovered one of the very strange things, that is, a skull made of crystal! In later life, he once read a book called "The Mystery of the Crystal Skull", which introduced the skulls made of crystal in the Aztec and Mayan empires.
Legend has it that this crystal skull has extraordinary magical powers, capable of hypnotizing humans, and also holds great secrets. It is said that there are a total of 52 crystal skulls in the world, and 13 of them are capable of singing, and are called "crystal skulls that can sing".
There are many legends about crystal skulls in later generations, some say that these skulls were forged by later generations, some say that these are indeed made by Aztecs, but they are just an ordinary artifact, and others say that they are gifts from aliens to earthlings.
Wang Xijia was about to pick up the skull and take a closer look, when he was suddenly startled by something next to the skull: it was a mobile phone!
This shocked Wang Xika: how could the ancient Aztecs have a mobile phone, or is it just a handicraft similar to a mobile phone, which actually has another purpose?
"Uh, I'm sorry, what is this?" asked Wang Xijia in surprise.
"This is a mobile phone! It's a gift from Yuan Guoshi, he said you like this thing, what, don't you know it? Or is this another joke made by Yuan Guoshi?" Seeing that Wang Xika didn't know the mobile phone, Tajira Kufu was also surprised.
"Well, knowing is knowing ......," Wang Xika said, picking up the phone and finding that it was an old-fashioned feature phone, a bit like the image of a mobile phone in the late 20th century.
He flipped through the phone book, and there was only one number stored in it: 1388888888. After dialing, Yuan Qingniu's voice came from inside: "Haha! You got your mobile phone? How are you doing?"
Wang Xijia was silent, and only after a long time did he shout at the top of his throat: "Yuan Qingniu, you are going to rectify me!"
