Chapter 82: Lord of the Eternal Night
Mexico is also looking forward to the arrival of myths and legends, but it is not ready for anything.
Today's chaos is proof of this.
However, after hearing the researchers' conjectures, Mo Guo still reacted quickly, preparing to deal with the eternal night in the way of myths and legends.
How did the ancient Mayan myths and legends end the eternal night and regain the light?
After the sun was extinguished, the gods built the Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon in order to restore the light of the Blue Star and make mankind happy forever.
Between the two towers, flames once again ignited, and the raging fire burned more and more fiercely.
The gods agreed that whoever had the courage to voluntarily jump into the fire would become the first sun, shining on the world and forever revered by mankind.
The lowly of the gods, the god Nanawat, and the noble god Texistkar, expressed their willingness to make sacrifices to become the sun and shine on the blue star.
The god Nanawat first jumped bravely into the fire, and suddenly, a red sun rose from the east.
But the god Texistkar was afraid.
After seeing the [God Nanawat] turn into the sun, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth and jumped into the already faint fire.
But he lost his chance, and instead of becoming the sun, he became the moon that could only illuminate the earth with a dim glow after the sun had gone down.
This is where the sun and moon came from in the ancient Mayan civilization.
It is also the origin of the name of the ancient city of Teotihuacan.
Because in the Indian, Nahua language, "Teotihuacan" means "the place where the sun god and the moon god were created".
Therefore, all the countries of the Americas shrouded in eternal night have their eyes on the ancient city of [Teotihuacan], which has long been in ruins, and the ancient city that appears in myths and legends.
It is also the ancient city of Weiyuan's layout.
The fame of the ancient city is world-famous, in addition to the prosperity of the ancient city, there are also the landmark buildings of the ancient city, the two pyramids.
Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon.
Pyramids are common in the Mayan civilization, but the pyramids in the Mayan civilization have different functions than the pyramids in the Egyptian civilization, one is a sacrifice and the other is a burial chamber.
The Pyramid of the Sun was a place of worship in the ancient city.
The scale of the Pyramid of the Sun is no weaker than the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, and it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site in the early years.
The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon also correspond to the two pyramids in mythology.
Therefore, the ancient city, which has been desolate for a long time, was shrouded in lights on this night, and bright lights illuminated the streets of the ancient city, illuminating the entire ancient city as if it were day.
Countless Mexican people spontaneously came to watch, and the Mexican army guarded it.
This move has attracted global attention.
In the middle of the two pyramids, countless workers are busy, and Mexico is preparing to build a huge bonfire here, imitating the mythical fire that was lit.
The campfire can't be too small, after all, there are two huge pyramids next to it, and if it is too small, it is completely a joke and insincere.
Divine fire, naturally have the appearance of divine fire.
If it weren't for the rush of time, Mexico would even want to solicit the design plan of the Divine Fire from all over the country, and now in order to end the eternal night as soon as possible, everything can only be simplified.
With the help of the whole country, coupled with the assistance of modern technology, a huge bonfire was built in one day.
It's like a bird's nest.
Standing in the middle of two huge pyramids, the momentum is not weak.
On this day, the sky was dark, there was no wind or rain, and tens of thousands of people flocked to the ancient city for live broadcast around the world.
Everything is ready and ignited.
Bang.
The bonfire was not lit, but a flash of fire exploded on the bonfire, shattering countless wreckage.
It's a rocket.
As the rockets exploded, among the countless onlookers, some people actually took out their guns and fired with guns with hideous expressions, and countless people fell to the ground one after another.
These people turned out to be militants, disguised as civilians and hiding among the crowd.
With the sound of gunshots, there were many casualties outside the ancient city in an instant.
After Wei Yuan casually pinched and killed several militants, he retreated into the dark night in the distance.
Fortunately, the army reacted quickly enough and had sufficient experience in responding to the riots, quickly evacuating the masses and quickly exterminating the militants.
From time to time, loud explosions sounded in the ancient city, and it was the militants who pulled the bombs on their bodies.
When these people came, they didn't think about leaving safely.
It's all human bombs.
Before dying, someone shouted in the explosion: "Long live the Lord of the Eternal Night!" ”
Wei Yuan listened to the chaotic conversation of the fugitives in the distance, and also understood what it meant, it turned out to be a new X Sect organization in the Mexican country, and it believed in the god of eternal night.
It is rumored that in the end of the world, the god of eternal night is the god of destruction, and believes in eternal night, after the destruction of the world, people can enter the kingdom of God and have eternal life.
With the continuous expansion of the Eternal Night, the Eternal Night Sect spread throughout the Americas, developing more than 100,000 followers.
And the action of the Mexican Kingdom tonight is to pray to the God of Light to eliminate the eternal night, which is naturally not allowed to happen for those who believe in the Lord of the Eternal Night!
Therefore, the leader of the Eternal Night Sect organized fanatics and launched this armed incident in the voice of the god of eternal night, with the intention of destroying the sun sacrifice and allowing the eternal night to live forever.
The fighting came and went as fast as it came, with nearly a hundred casualties, and the fanatics were quickly cleared by heavily armed troops.
It's just that the sacrificial rites were forced to be interrupted.
The people call the current ritual of inviting the gods a sacrificial ceremony, because the ancient Maya people used to communicate with the gods through sacrifices, and everything was carried out according to the ancient Mayan rituals.
The sacrificial ceremony was interrupted, and the Mexican government was going to choose a new date to come again, but an ancient Mayan researcher said:
"In ancient Mayan rituals, human sacrifices were often used to sacrifice prisoners of war or enemies to the gods, to show the strength and piety of the country, and to pray for the blessings of the gods."
"Now these militants can be used as sacrifices."
In addition to the self-blown up, the militants captured several live people.
After the researcher finished speaking, the Mexican authorities frowned, and then looked at the rest of the researchers, and some researchers nodded and said:
"The ancient Maya did use human sacrifice."
But another researcher frowned and said, "The ancient Maya are in the wilderness stage, and we have entered the modern era, this bad habit should be abolished completely!" ”
Hearing this, the researcher who first proposed the human sacrifice said disdainfully:
"Then you can solve the eternal night with modern means?"
"Since the eternal night originates from the ancient Maya, then we must follow the ancient Mayan rituals, otherwise the ritual will fail, the eternal night will last forever, and all mankind will be extinct!"
"Is there a problem with saving all of humanity with a few damned militants?"
The researcher looked around and spread his hands.
All the researchers were silent, because they were not sure if the sacrificial ceremony would succeed, and if the ritual failed, the pot would be held on them, and their reputation would be ruined for the rest of their lives.
So no one spoke out.
The researcher's expression flickered behind his glasses, and the corners of his mouth raised in disdain.
