Tajira Coover is in her mid-30s, and the years have made him look older than he really is. The hair is already a little gray. This is also normal, and those who work in the fields in later generations will be older than those in the city. Bronzed skin, a knife-and-axe face with a pair of jet-black eyes.

The height is about 1.75 meters, which is relatively tall in this era. In general, among the Indians, Tajira Coover is considered to be more British in appearance.

Of course, he is still about 8 centimeters shorter than Wang Xika, but he can make up for the lack of height with the phoenix feather crown on his head.

Tajira Coover wore a well-trimmed beard, a phoenix crown, a calfskin dress, and a multicolored feather cape on her back.

This cloak is made of various parrots, eagles, and phoenix feathers, and is very gorgeous. It is usually worn only when attending important occasions

Wang Xijia was wearing a suit when she was in the car. But when she saw Tagila Coover's outfit, she felt that her suit might be a little shocking, so she said, "Wait a minute, I just smoked, wait for me to change my clothes." ”

After speaking, he opened the trunk of the car and put out the five-clawed dragon robe that Nightingale had sewn for him himself, wearing an imperial crown. As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes, and his horse depends on his saddle.

As soon as Wang Xijia's dragon robe was unveiled, it caused a burst of exclamations from the local Azetec people, and Tajira Kufo also cast an approving glance - obviously everyone thought that this outfit was higher than the suit just now.

Wang Xika then took the cigarette handed by Tajira Couver and shook hands with Tajira here. Tajira Kufo's large hands were full of calluses - it seems that the king also usually did some manual labor, unlike the pampered nobles.

In the era of feudal dynasties in Eurasia, the children of the nobility could not even wear their own clothes and tie their shoes. The hands are as white and tender as the roots of green onions, obviously because they have been separated from the working people for too long.

And the kings or tribal leaders of this era were generally the ones who worked most actively and fought the most. For example, the ball ball in the hairy tribe, such as the old wolf king Sessions, and such as Saleman, Bloodfang, and the gray beaver.

Although the Aztecs were more civilized than the Inuit, Apache, and Komochi tribes in the north, they were only as good as they were. Their kings were also to hunt, labor, eat and clothe themselves.

Wang Xika liked Tajira Coover's calloused kings, and he took Tajira's cigarette and smoked it—it wasn't a "huazi", of course, but it did taste much better than the one he had just bought on the side of the road, a bit like the best Havana cigars in the world.

It's just that Aztec cigarettes already have pre-holes in the tail, so there is no need for a cigar cutter. The two stood in the middle of Tenochtitlan, smoking and chatting like two old friends.

In the 21st century, it is no longer fashionable for national leaders to meet each other and hand cigarettes to each other. Because smoking is harmful to health, leaders who have a habit of smoking choose to quit.

But in this day and age, no one thinks that smoking is bad for your health – because there are so many things that are bad for your health in this year. At every turn, a beast will jump out and eat you, or you will die of illness for no reason, or suddenly you will starve to death without food—many primitive people die before they reach adulthood.

Even if he lived to adulthood, he was not frozen to death, starved to death, and died of disease, and one day the two tribes fought and died. Smoking is a small thing in comparison.

Tagila Kufo was glad to see the grey beaver and the bloodfang, the kings of the Northern Empire, whom he had heard of but had never seen. The three of them exchanged words with the Indians, to the effect that "the weather is good today, what kind of wind blew you two here?" and "Let's follow the emperor to your place." This kind of scene talk.

Tajira understands that the protagonist is Wang Xijia, and she still has to strengthen the communication with Wang Xijia. However, his Chinese is limited to the two sentences "Have you eaten?" and "Come to Genhuazi?"

And Wang Xijia can't speak a word of Aztec, so he can only rely on the translation of Gray Beaver and Bloodfang, which is very laborious to communicate.

Luckily, Tagila Coover trained a Chinese translator called Hua Parrot. Maybe it was cultivated by Yuan Qingniu when he was here. With a translator, communication is much easier.

The parrot looks to be in its early 20s, and its face is full of cleverness. As you can tell from his name, the parrot is a very good learner. What's funny is that the parrot speaks Chinese with a Henan accent, which is obviously a deliberate joke made by Yuan Qingniu with He Fan, because Yuan Qingniu himself does not speak Henan dialect.

A person who doesn't speak Henan dialect teaches others to speak Henan dialect, which is obviously a bad taste.

"You ask your king, is Yuan Qingniu here? Wang Xika said to the parrot.

", I'll go and say it right away. The parrot's standard Henan dialect made Wang Xika laugh, as if the Indian in front of him was a Henan man wearing an Indian skin.

I only listened to the parrot muttering a lot of Aztec that Wang Xika didn't understand, and then turned to Wang Xijia and said, "The king of my family said that Yuan Qingniu has gone to the south, but he left a letter for Kai, and you can go to see it with our king." ”

It seems that this Yuan Qingniu really mixed well in the Aztec Empire, and even became a national teacher.

"Then take me to see the letter. ”

"The letter is in our palace, so come along. After saying that, the flower parrot and Tajira Kufu led Wang Xika to the palace.

Wang Xika went on horseback, and strange to say, although the Aztec Empire was civilized, it did not have a carriage. Because they didn't invent the wheel! It's unimaginable.

The Aztec palace was built on an artificial island in the lake in the city of Tenochtitlan. The lake is called Lake Texcoco, and the island is so large that it is said that there is also a legend.

The ancestors of the Azetecs were instructed by the god of war that if they saw an eagle with a snake in its mouth, they could see their capital from the place where the eagle stood.

And the Aztec ancestor happened to find an eagle with a snake in its mouth on a small island in a lake - although this island is too small to build a capital, but the words of the god of war cannot be ignored!

So everyone began to fill in the lake and build an island - the operation of reclamation of the lake and the construction of the island was a big project even in later generations, but the Aztecs still relied on their tenacious perseverance to shoulder the burden and fill out an artificial island!

A huge lake with a huge island in the middle, this scenery is like Yingtai where Emperor Guangxu once lived.

It's just that this island is much bigger than Yingtai, and there are 200,000 ordinary residents on the island alone! In this era, it is considered the world's top big city.

On the shore, there is a specially prepared king's special boat to transport Tajira Kufo and Wang Xijia and his party to the island. Wang Xijia noticed that these boats were carved with an animal image of a human-faced snake god, a bit like Fuxi or Nuwa of the Chinese civilization. Could it be that Yuan Qingniu also taught them to carve these images? Wang Xika asked Tajira Kufo and the parrot for advice on this question.

"Huh!" - Flower parrot This is even the Henan mantra has been learned, and after chatting with him for a long time, I am afraid that he will sing Henan Bangzi in the next second, "How can this be the national teacher who taught us? This is our Aztec gods, Naga!"

Naga is a familiar name! Wang Xijia suddenly thought to himself: "Then can you see a living Naga here?"

He found it strange that both Eastern and Western civilizations depicted the same kind of god: a god with a human upper body and a snake with a lower body.

In the Chinese civilization, Nuwa and Fuxi are both in this image, and there is also a legend of the Medusa snake demon in Europe, and this time in South America I encountered the same image of the Naga symbol, I can't help but wonder: Is there really a creature with this image in this world?

If so, how come it is that I have never seen it, and if not, then why do different civilizations have the same image of gods?

"Of course we can't see it here, the Naga god lives in the south, I tell you you don't want to see it, the Naga god has a big temper, but he is powerful!" said the parrot. That tone is like an old man in Henan teaching children to "hold it to the mountains, there is a brain axe on the mountain!"

Wang Xijia nodded and said, "No, no, no," but what he thought in his heart was that Lao Tzu must go and see what this Naga god was like! As soon as he began to travel around the world, he had seen all kinds of strange animals, such as the Divine Dragon, the Kunpeng, the "Snake God" Haken, and the "Fire God" Akede...... At that time, when the dragon fought against the "Vulcan" Akede, he almost destroyed the world.

I have also seen a big scene, no matter how strong this "Naga God" is, how strong can it be, is it nothing more than destroying the world?

As soon as he spoke, the boat arrived at the island, and the shore was already full of royal guards to greet the two heads of state. Wang Xijia only felt that his eyes were a little flustered, and when he looked closely, the armor of each of these royal guards was made of gold, shining with the golden light of bulingbuling in the sun.

Looking further away, I saw that most of the buildings on this island had a bulingbuling golden square roof, and there was a pyramid in the middle that was all bulingbuling—this was the Aztec palace, and the whole palace was made of pure gold! How much gold did it cost? It turned out that there was a lot of gold in the Americas, and the Aztec kings had even more gold, so there was gold everywhere.

Wang Xijia has never seen such a luxurious building, and in later generations he has heard that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, once built a "golden palace" in Kunming, but it was also made of copper, not gold!

I remembered that most of the gifts I had brought were made of gold...... That gift was a joke compared to Tajira Kufu's assets - thinking of this, Wang Xijia was about to break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but shiver.

"What's the matter, is it blown by the wind on the lake?" Come, drink this!" said the parrot and handed Wang Xijia a dark drink for the night.

Wang Xijia smelled it, and a coffee aroma came to his face - yes, Central and South America is one of the coffee producing areas, this must be coffee. The king's cigarettes are so easy to smoke, and the quality of the coffee is also good.

Wang Xijia loves coffee the most, and took a big sip, but found that the taste was very strange: it had the taste of coffee, but also a little spicy and sour, and he had drunk coffee all his life, and he had never drunk this taste.

He frowned, "What kind of coffee do you have?" taste...... So unique?"

The flower parrot smiled: "This is not coffee, this is coffee spicy soup." It is made with coffee and spicy soup. Yuan Guoshi said that you had better take this bite, we specially prepared it for you, which can dispel the wind and cold. ”
