Long horns whimpered, and rumbling drums tumbled like thunder over the ancient Mayan tribes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chief Jiaxi, whose face was smeared with fresh snake blood, walked at the front of the procession, followed by a long crowd of strangely dressed wizards, dancing and wearing various dyes in a row, like a long dragon towards the pyramid, the tallest building in the tribe.

The four-sided pyramids, painted with gold dye, shimmer in the midday sun. When the procession reached the bottom of the pyramid, a misty cloud blew from the depths of the jungle, obscuring the sunlight in the sky and casting a veil of fantastic mystery over the pyramid below.

All the members of the Mayan tribe gathered in the square at this time, and they shouted in unison under the leadership of the shaman, adding a bit of vivid color to this ancient and mysterious ritual.

Miss Sophie was a special guest attendant, so she walked at the back of the procession, and in front of her were Mayan warriors holding various offerings. The most striking of the sacrificial procession were eighteen captives, nine men and nine women, and these dozen or so people looked depressed and in extremely poor mental state, and followed the sacrificial procession like walking corpses.

This is the sacrifice of the living, if it weren't for himself, China Xiao would inevitably be in that team. He must have fled to the beach by now!

Sophie suddenly smiled, thinking, finally saved his life, fortunately, Chief Jiaxi gave face, agreed to her request, and was able to stage a scene in the bath~ room, replacing the Mayan boy who served her with Chinese Xiao, otherwise she didn't know what she would do.

Thinking of this, Sophie flashed her eyes, and sure enough, she found the unlucky guy last night in the men's team, and at this time, the sturdy young man, with his head down, only one breath left, followed the team numbly. Out of the torture of conscience, Sophie suddenly felt very uncomfortable, he should not end up like this. But when I think about it, they should die for others, and pity him themselves, so who will pity the remaining seventeen, those beautiful girls actually want to make sacrifices, what a pity!

In the women's team, there are two beautiful Asians and a beautiful blonde beauty, they seem to follow the team insensitively, but in fact, no one knows, their shrewd eyes hide under the long hair that covers their faces, dripping around, they are looking for someone, that person is no longer in the men's team.

The sacrificial procession walked to the bottom of the pyramid and walked up the golden steps to the top.

All the fire pits on the altars in the square have been lit, and the blazing flames swallow the tongues of fire with the wind, releasing billowing smoke and dust into the sky.

Sophie followed the team to the very top of the pyramid, and by this time many of the team had stopped at various points of the pyramid.

According to the Mayan custom, when performing major tribal rituals, although all members need to travel, the main procession of the sacrifice is chosen according to the position of the tribe on the pyramid. The higher the social status, the higher the position on the pyramid. As for the pinnacle of the pyramid, apart from some core personnel and attendant warriors, only Sophie was left as a foreigner. Of course, she was a special guest of the chief to watch the ceremony, so naturally no one stopped her.

When Sophie reached the top of the pyramid, she found that it was not a platform but a large patio with a downward opening and stone steps. Chief Jiaxi and her men, who arrived first, had already descended the stone steps.

Sophie looked curiously at the patio at the very top of the pyramid, and on the four sides of the patio, Mayan warriors with spears stood guarding the sanctity of the patio.

Originally, she wanted to take a few photos as information, but she was stopped by the waitress who accompanied her. Sophie had no choice but to give up.

Descending the stone steps beside the patio leads to a winding passage, and Sophie leads to a large and spacious stone hall. Chief Jiaxi and her subordinates were already in the pavilion.

When Sophie arrived, she couldn't help but be immediately attracted by the patio above the center of the stone hall, which turned out to be the very bottom of the patio at the top of the pyramid. In the stone hall, there are stone pillars thicker than a person, supporting the dome of the opening above.

Sophie looked around, and there was a huge stone tripod placed in the four corners of the stone hall, which burned dried giant bones and some spices unique to the South American jungle, making a strange smell wafting in the stone hall, I can't tell whether it is fragrant or smelly, but this special smell is impressive.

There were always two samurai standing beside the burning stone ding.

The maid behind her quietly told Sophie to stand in the corner of the stone hall, not to move, not to speak, just watch. Especially after the sacrificial ceremony begins, no matter what you see, don't make a sound, let alone disturb the sacrificial ceremony, otherwise she and she will be executed.

Seeing the maid's words, Sophie of course believed that she would agree and let the other party rest assured, she would be honest and would never break the rules.

After listening to Sophie's statement, the maid looked relieved, but she still pressed close to Sophie, just in case, Sophie naturally didn't care, after all, this is a matter of life and death, and it is understandable to be overly careful.

At this time, nine male captives were escorted in and tied to nine pillars under the courtyard of the stone hall, and Sophie found that there was a groove under each pillar that led to a large totemic stone carving at the bottom of the courtyard.

Since the stone carvings were flat, Sophie was not tall enough to see what they were, but she could be sure that the totem carvings were the focus of the sacrifice.

After the nine men were tied to the stone pillars, the nine women were also escorted in, and they were tied to the nine-heel stone pillars opposite the men, and each woman also had a groove at her foot leading to the totem stone carving at the bottom of the patio.

When all the captives were in place, the wizards under Chief Jiaxi sat down in a staggered manner around the patio.

Sophie looked at them and found that their location was very elaborate, completely according to the constellation points in the sky. This is because Sophie has made great efforts to study the ancient but advanced astronomical astronomy of the Maya, otherwise she would not have discovered the mystery at all.

The wizards who sat according to the layout of the stars in the sky seemed to have their own duties, and each of them had a scepter inlaid with gems in their hands, but they were too small, like a thicker magic pen, and I saw these people holding the scepter, sitting with their eyes closed, as if waiting for something.

And Chief Jiaxi has eaten a lot of cacti, and his eyes have become foggy.

Although Sophie did not study medicine, she still knew that cacti were rich in some hallucinogenic ingredients, and that sorcerers could achieve a dreamlike state of communicating with the gods by eating cacti.

When everyone was in their place, the sun just appeared on the patio above the stone hall, but I don't know when the sun in the sky became dim, but from the patio, there was not a trace of clouds in the blue sky, what was going on?

Sophie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up to the fact that it was a solar eclipse, and there was a solar eclipse at noon today!
