Epilogue: The Myth of Chengguan (Part I)
Subtitle: The Founding Epic of the American Empire
——————————————————————
In the highest sky, sits the glorious city of the gods.
The ruler of the gods, the supreme king who could not be called by name, suddenly felt that something was missing around him, and began to bow his head and think.
Finally, the indescribable monarch thought:
"It's a lot of space here! There is not a single great building that can bring out my majesty and glory! ”
So, the king decided to build a palace that had never been seen before to show his supreme glory!
"I will make white clouds a wall and cover it with gold and silver! And set countless gems on the roof, shining like stars! ”
The god-king, who could not be called by name, made a decision, and then summoned the messenger of the gods, the messenger of the gods, and commanded him:
"O Messenger of the Gods! Take the thousand crystal heads I cut off when I fought the white-skinned devil, and go to the human world to buy goods! I command you to exchange these loot for gold from mortals! Silver! And sparkling gems! I'm going to use them to build a palace that's never been more gorgeous than ever! ”
"As you wish, great king!"
Thus saith the messenger of the gods, he covered his face with his hands, and did not dare to look directly at the glory of the king.
"I'm going to take a boat of steel and go to the place where gold, silver, and precious stones are produced. This boat is my favorite treasure, and the water can condense into a transparent barrier to decorate it. The wind will turn into vigorous wings and carry it to fly. ”
"You've got a good idea." The God-King was pleased with what Wen Deji said, "Then bring with you the ashes of these white-skinned devils, these evil ashes will tempt people to fall." You're going to seal it on the earth forever! ”
After bidding farewell to the unnamed god king, the messenger of the gods, Wen Dehei, took a flying ship to the bustling "Yiwu", a bazaar of the gods and a variety of incredible goods. Wen Deji wants to buy some supplies here. To kill the boredom of the journey.
"Oh, good messenger, most industrious of all of them. Where are you going in such a hurry? ”
It was the goddess of love who spoke, a delicate girl who was favored by thousands of gods. The guide of all aiqing in the world.
"O beautiful Eros! I have followed the edict of the indescribable monarch to go to earth in exchange for gold, silver, and splendid gems. ”
"Oh! Room? What an exciting place, even in the highest sky, I can sometimes hear the beautiful singing of those beautiful boys and girls from the clouds, they dance among the beautiful mountains and lakes, with the most pleasant voice, the most elegant words, singing the most beautiful haodeaiqing on Shijie! O good messenger. I beg you, I beg you to take me to the bright earth, to the place where the song comes. ”
"I'm sorry, the god in charge of Aiqing. The indescribable monarch ordered me to go to the source of gold, silver, and precious stones. Instead of exchanging the belongings needed to build a palace with mortals, instead of visiting the beautiful mountains and lakes and enjoying the singing and dancing of young girls and girls. ”
So said the faithful messenger God, rejected the unreasonable demands of the Loving God, and turned away.
However, what the poor messenger did not know was. He has already aroused the wrath of Eros.
- The request of the delicate girl cannot be refused!
"Omnipotent and indescribable beings! I curse! I curse! I curse that stupid messenger can't return to the sky! The wind could not lift his boat, nor the water could become his oars. When he descends into the world, he will fall in love with the first virgin he has seen with the blood of the sun god! Then forget the God-King's sending, lose your spirituality, and remain on the earth forever! ”…,
The curse of Eros is fulfilled, and the boat of Moon's heir suddenly loses Liliang, forcing him to descend to a certain village on earth.
"Mortals, I am a god from the West."
Waving his hand to release a shining star, Wen Deji said.
"Oh, great deity, we have no intention of offending your majesty, but we also want to know that you are coming here?"
The answer to her was the princess of the kingdom of Hungyutizgan, the daughter of the sun god, the beautiful Maka.
The curse of Eros was fulfilled once again, and the messenger of the gods, Moonheir, fell in love with Maka as soon as he saw her, and completely forgot about his mission.
"Oh! Noble and beautiful girl, the reason why I have come to this place, with these crystal and transparent treasures, is to propose to you, and ask you to marry me in the witness of the gods. ”
In this way, the messenger of the gods, Bundehei, presented a thousand crystal heads to the king of Avaha in the kingdom of Honshutizgan, married his eldest daughter, Princess Marka, and lived on earth ever since, married and had children, and left behind the orders of the king who could not be called by his name.
The zuihou section of the curse has also been successfully fulfilled, and he has lost his spirituality and can never return to heaven.
———————————————————————
It was not until a long time had elapsed up a tree in the sky for the construction of the most magnificent palace that it occurred to the god-king, who could not be called by his name, that his messenger had not brought back gold, silver, and brilliant gems from the earth, as had been agreed.
So, the god-king began to use his supreme divine power to find out the whereabouts of the messenger, and Zuihou found him in the kingdom of Hungshutizgan.
After discovering the whereabouts of the messenger god Wen Dehei, the supreme king, who could not be called by his name, immediately felt extremely angry and angry.
"How dare you betray my trust, abandon your mission, and spend time in the arms of a beautiful girl in the mortal world?!"
The Supreme King, who thought he had been fooled, ordered his loyal subordinate, Yang Wenli, the god of death, to immediately go to the human world to teach the man who dared to neglect his mission a lesson.
"Great God-King, I beseech you to calm down, calm your anger, and then forgive the poor messenger. As the messenger of the gods, he has not made any mistakes for three thousand years, so please give him a chance to repent.
Moreover, there is no suitable tree in the sky today that can be used to continue building your glorious palace.
So, please allow me to go down with the other gods to find the slack of Wendehei. Let him atone for his sins, and use the symbols of the gods engraved on him to open a passage between the heavenly realm and the human world. Gather more building materials for your palace! ”
Yang Wenli, the master of death, the recorder of endless history, the inheritor of the doctrine of Interna, and the great political commissar of the gods, pleaded. He had the appearance of an old man, the oldest of all the gods.
"Alright! I can accept your request! But the slack and lazy messenger must also give me an acceptable explanation! ”
The Great King, who could not be called by his name, shook his fist and roared.
So, the god of death gathered three of his companions and prepared to go down to earth to arrest the messengers of the gods who had been slacking off.
One of the companions of the god of death is Ma Tong, the goddess of commerce who rules the forging and trade, a tall lady who loves gold and jewelry, and people will satisfy her when they worship her, as long as there is enough gold.
There is also a guardian of this world and the kingdom of heaven, a brave god of war who once slayed evil dragons. Wang Qiu, the sleepless gatekeeper who spent his days guarding the gate connecting the heavens and the mortal world, suppressing all evil spirits that tried to attack the heavens, later married the daughter of the sun god and the goddess of springs. …,
Zuihou is a cute god Cai Rong who is favored by the gods. She is a creator of poetry and art, and she cares for all the lovely things in the world.
The four of them are the stewards of the City of the Gods. Referred to as "Chengguan", it is the most invincible existence among the gods.
These four administrators of the City of the Gods came to earth with the rebuke of the Lord God and shattered the abode of Wen Deji in an instant.
"Dear city managers! I know I've made mistakes, but you have to understand my fiery heart, even if it's the snow and ice in the mountains, and the storms in the sea. Nor can it extinguish this surging love! Standing in front of his wife, explained the messenger of the gods.
The four deities, all touched by his aiqing, forgave him for his dereliction of duty, and decided to help Buntokuji and make the place even more beautiful.
"However, this shijie is fair, there must be a pay, and no one can get it without it."
So says the just god of death.
Therefore, the people of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan had to offer gold, silver, and dazzling gems to the gods in exchange for gifts from the gods.
"In addition, you will contribute a large number of trees to build a heavenly palace and quench the wrath of the God King."
The goddess of commerce added, and the people of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan agreed.
————————————————————————
Soon after, a city that had never been seen before appeared on the seaside beaches of the kingdom of Hungyutizgan.
It is a city of hope built between heaven and earth.
The rulers of this city-state are the exiled messenger of the gods, Wendehei, and his mortal wife, Maka.
Therefore, this city-state is a projection of the sky, a paradise on earth, which connects the market of the gods "Yiwu".
The inhabitants of this place cultivate incomparably abundant crops, and eat salt as white as the waves of the sea.
In this city, the hard steel was made into houses by the gods and given to the bravest warriors to live in; The soft earth was turned into rock (concrete) by the gods, and roads, canals, and granaries were quickly built; Terrifying thunder and lightning are put into lamps by the gods, making the night as bright as day.
Those who are willing to serve the gods will surely enjoy the generous rewards of the gods.
Every day, Wang Qiu, a young and sturdy god of war who guards the kingdom of heaven, opens the gate to the kingdom of heaven in the square in the center of the city, and brings all kinds of goods from the heavenly realm from the bazaar of the gods.
Among them are bright and soft cloths, comfortable and tough shoes, transparent and crystalline glassware, gorgeous porcelain in brilliant colors, refined salt and sugar as white as ice and snow, and monosodium glutamate that makes food more delicious. There is also a wonderful little wooden stick that can start a fire with a single stroke.
The sharp and firm steel axes, and the wine that burns like a fire burning in the mouth when you take a sip, are the favorites of every warrior;
In addition, he brought with him all sorts of wonderful seeds. It can make the land grow fruits and vegetables that no mortal has never seen before, and everything is so delicious. And the corn seeds of the heavenly realm are far more productive than the corn of the mortal world, so that farmers no longer have to worry about hunger.
He also took out a pungent-smelling dark powder called fertilizer, which could be dumped into the fields to make the crops grow stronger.
Anything that comes out of the gates of heaven. It's all so wonderful that it's amazing and no one else can imitate it.
After the news broke, merchants from all over the world soon arrived. In order to obtain these rare goods, they vied to offer their timber, gold, silver, and jewelry. Those who don't have these things join the logging team at Port Hope. exchanging one's own labor for goods. …,
The final collection of the gods in the human world was also carried back to Heaven by Wang Qiu, where they were used to build and decorate the magnificent palace to please the great god king who could not be called by his name.
Because, only Wang Qiu holds the door of the heavenly kingdom, and can make all kinds of goods go back and forth between the mortal world and the heavens.
His emblem was a red crab, which was later painted on the gates of every temple and palace.
Yang Wenli, the god of death, was a serious and fair judge, and the oldest wise of all the gods, who was said to have been born before the kingdom of heaven was formed. He often appears as an old man who loves cleanliness. The priests who served him had to have short hair or bald heads. He should be shaved and carefully bathed and cleansed, and chewed onions and garlic to remove disease, before praying to him for God's blessings.
The god of death has a miracle medicine that can cure all diseases. His white pills can restore dying patients, his viscous ointment can heal warriors, and a liquid in a clear glass tube can bring dying people to life (stimulants).
Those chosen people who have been blessed by the god of death have a special mark on their arms, which represents the protection of the god of death. Anyone who has this trace. They will not be infected with many mortal diseases, and their children and grandchildren, even if they do not have this mark, will be healthier than ordinary people.
Although he holds the cold priesthood of death, always has a serious expression and does not smile, Yang Wenli is actually a very benevolent god. The god of death always cares for the lives of all mortals, no matter what tribe they belong to, what language they speak, no matter whether their blood is noble or lowly. He has always wanted to make people feel free from food and clothing, get fair treatment, and live happier lives.
After descending to the mortal world, the god of death spent a long time patiently teaching people how to grow magical crops obtained from the heavenly realm, as well as the knowledge of how to resist diseases and prolong life, but he firmly denied that he possessed an elixir that could make people immortal.
His emblem is a golden sickle and hammer, which are overlapped and painted on a bright red banner.
There is also a cute goddess Cai Rong, who is a creator of poetry and art, and a moody young goddess who loves all things lovely. To satisfy her preferences, she would often generously bestow mortals with artifacts of all kinds, including richly decorated swords, intricately patterned spears, intricately carved jewelry, magnificent crowns, and exotic garments and armor.
When she bestows these artifacts, she often doesn't ask for anything, just to admire how people look in those fancy costumes.
However, no one knows how to please her, and she may rejoice in a certain dance or be angry at the same dance.
(Voice of Mystery: Can a group of beautiful girls dancing samba in a grass skirt be the same as a group of big men dancing samba in a grass skirt?!) - Cai Rong)
Her emblem is a white alpaca, a sacred animal said to have been found in a southern place called Peru.
Ma Tong, the goddess of commerce in Zuihou, is a goddess of energy and drive, and a guide for all commodity trade. To facilitate trade and bookkeeping, she prescribed units of weight, length, and capacity for various items, and also taught people to replace cocoa beans with indestructible glass beads as a daily currency to exchange items. Even if people had gold and silver coins in the future, glass beads were still used as a kind of accessory.
Her emblem is a small scale, flanked by gold and silver nuggets.
————————————————————————————…,
When Hope Port gradually became prosperous, a lot of timber and gold and silver were sent to the heavenly realm. When the gods had their spare time, they wanted to visit the surrounding kingdoms. So, under the guidance of the Word of God, they made their way through dense forests, over mountains, across rivers, and into the densely populated valleys of Mexico. Then stop on the shores of Lake Texcoco to wait for a welcome from the owner.
However, the overlord who ruled the Mexican Valley at the time. The Aztec king, the stupid and arrogant Montezuma, hid in his palace. Instead of going to the outskirts to pay homage to the great gods, he forbade the gods to set foot in his capital, the city of Tenochtitlan, which was located in the middle of the lake.
Yang Wenli, the wise man of the gods and the god of death, sighed, "O Montezuma! We brought kindness and gifts, but you replied with indifference! If someone comes in the future with malice and calamity, wouldn't you welcome it with warmth? I've been able to see the death omen of this kingdom! ”
Fortunately, not all Aztecs were as ignorant and arrogant as their monarch Montezuma. Many people walked out of the island of Tenochtitlan and came to the shores of Lake Texcoco. Offer gifts to the gods who stop here and listen to their teachings.
Hearing the ominous prophecy of the god of death, the Aztecs were greatly alarmed for a moment and pleaded with each other.
"O great gods! Is there really a catastrophe coming? Please give us the means to save our homeland! ”
Then, Cai Rong, the god of art and poetry, spoke: "O Aztecs! Everyone's home is on their own to defend. Only a coward would blame everything on the gods. But, in gratitude for your devotion and respect, I will also give you some help. Not only do I want to see mortals with their splendid costumes and beautiful poetry, but I also want to see them wielding gorgeous weapons and showing their bravery and strength in battle.
So. For the true Aztec warriors, I would love to give them the weapons of the gods as gifts. But you must keep these gifts intact, and if you dare to use them separately, you will be cursed by Me!" ”
A group of brave samurai immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to accept the gifts of the gods and to bear the costs associated with the gifts.
So the goddess gave many treasures to the people on the shores of Lake Texcoco, each of which was so beautiful and noble.
Among them were twenty gorgeous shields and armor that not even the jaguar's minions could pierce, and their sharp javelins and short swords, terrible weapons capable of easily piercing the toughest leather. In addition to their leader, the twenty warriors all wore bright red cloaks and looked particularly heroic, which was a characteristic costume of the warriors.
"As long as you wear this armor, you must use a weapon that matches it! Otherwise, you will be cursed! The goddess said.
The pious warriors leaned down, kissed the ground excitedly, and kowtowed to the goddess in thanksgiving.
"Take this brass horn and the emblem of the eagle! Then put on the purple robe I have given you! The commander of the two arms of zuihou was given to the warriors, and the goddess added: "From now on, you are one!" Be sure to advance and retreat together! Eat and sleep together! Closer than brothers! ”
"As you wish, revered goddess!"
These twenty-one brave Aztec warriors, who later killed dozens of times as many enemies in the battle to defend the city of Tenochtitlan, were themselves unscathed. In recognition of their bravery, the goddess gave them a resounding name - "Friends of the Friends"
And the artifact that is even more widely praised by the world is the five divine swords given by the goddess! …,
The first divine sword is called Xuanyuan, and it is the noblest of the five divine swords, symbolizing the authority of the king. The scabbard was as bright as gold, inlaid with mysterious runes of black and silver, and the goddess made the handle of the sword out of heavenly brass, and found pearls from the depths of the sea and gems from the peaks of the mountains, and pierced them with silk threads woven with red clouds, and adorned the tail of this sword.
The goddess prophesied: "Any mortal who can be recognized by this divine sword will become a king!" The guy who is not recognized by this sword will only bring death to himself after possessing it! ”
The man who got the sword was Kuochtmok, who later became king of the Aztecs.
The second divine sword is called the Shoden Sana, and it is a burning blade infused with the essence of flames!
This is a long knife that can only be used by women, and its sharpness and power are simply unimaginable to ordinary mortals!
It was an artifact that could slash through mortals with a slight swing, and even the strongest Marqua Witt could not resist its edge!
Its owner must take Xana as his name and wear a flaming charm on his body so that he can be favored by the sun god and return home with victory and glory.
Sadly, the samurai who possessed the sword forgot about it and died in the streets of Tenochtitlan.
The third Excalibur is called Iron Broken Fang, which is made of Inugami's teeth, and the hilt is wrapped in Inugami's fur.
It is a huge sword that belongs to a man, containing the terrifying liliang of the storm, capable of tearing the souls of enemies into messy slag.
Whoever wields this sword must wear a red robe made of the fur of the Flame Rat, so that he can become a rabid dog possessed demon and cast the liliang of the storm. But its owner, while possessing divine powers, also seems destined to suffer all kinds of traumas called betrayal.
In the chaos that followed, the owner of the Broken Tooth changed several times, and the owner of the zuihou was Sicato Jr., the leader of the Tlaxcala clan.
The fourth Excalibur is called Victory in the Oath, and it is a sword of light, and the wielder must wear a golden wig that looks like a field of harvest and a scorching sun. It's also a sword that will bring good luck, as long as you wear the blue and white steel skirt armor.
The Aztec warrior who wielded the sword eventually became the queen of Kuauchtmoc, with whom she ruled the Aztec city-states.
Zuihou is a divine sword called the Lake Light of No Regrets, which is a sad sword that is opposite to the light and symbolizes the deepest darkness.
Only the bravest warriors could wield the sword, and only the strongest men could put on the heavy armor it matched.
It was a completely enclosed piece of steel armor, black all over, glowing with a faint cold light.
In the midst of the great Battle of Otunba, its master rushed into the enemy's position without hesitation, unleashing a rain of blood and cutting down the banner of the white-skinned devil. However, after the battle, the great warrior disappeared without a trace and never returned to his native land.
His whereabouts and his Excalibur have been unknown ever since. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
