Chapter 487: Temple Murals
When all the living people of the descendants of the sun entered the bottom of the pyramid, a golden halo appeared.
In the next moment, the two fighters in the sky who had completed the steering swooped down and fired again, but the twenty-millimeter cannon hit the pyramid tower, but it only burst out with clouds of fire and smoke, and the torrent of steel that had just killed people like garlic could not shake the thin golden halo at all, and the smoke and dust dispersed, and the pyramid still stood intact on the hill.
The people behind the scenes, as well as the pilots and crew members at the scene, who saw the scene through a remote video connection, were already stunned.
It took more than ten seconds for some people to recover from the shock, and a new command came from the communicator in the pilot's ear.
"Emptying the ammunition ......"
The two pilots were very decisive, and after receiving the order, they first launched two small-caliber precision missiles of 115 kg air-to-air loaded on the fighters.
Then the launch button of the air-to-surface missile was pressed again, and two 454-kilogram joint direct attack ammunition slammed into the half-waist of the pyramid below.
Thundered......
With a series of loud noises, several large and small mushroom clouds erupted from the pyramid.
The golden halo that was originally as stable as King Kong also trembled violently after this wave of bombardment, as if it was about to be extinguished at any time.
But as the smoke and dust of the fire dissipated, although the golden light became unstable, the temple finally persevered, and the bombing strikes of the two American fighters failed to destroy the pyramid.
The fighters who soon ran out of ammunition had no choice but to return, but just when they wanted to catch up with their captain who had returned early due to fighter failure, they found that the signal of the captain's fighter had disappeared out of thin air.
There was a nervous call over the communicator.
For the Mi Army, an experienced senior pilot is also a valuable talent, not to mention the new fighter that costs as much as 120 million meters of gold alone, although it is a model a few years ago, and the weapon system is also a revision of the product developed around the millennium, but that is because this model and weapons are very mature, and the performance is more stable.
And the prototype of this fighter is still the core weapon of the Mi Army, which is banned from sale.
Especially after adding new materials from the extraordinary laboratory to the fuselage, the price of these three fighters has almost tripled.
Maybe after two years of technology maturity, the price of mass production can be much cheaper, but now this experimental model that has not been announced to the public is so expensive.
Therefore, the military not only demanded that people should be seen alive and corpses should be seen, but the most important thing was that the experimental machine must be recovered without bad parts.
……
The supporting fighters returned to the pyramid in vain, but Harrison at the foot of the pyramid made a quick decision, taking advantage of the unstable light of the pyramid after the continuous bombardment of the fighters, he led the team directly into the pyramid with a shield.
"Quick, I won't last long......"
Because the pyramid temple itself does not have a door, after being attacked, the force seems to have hit the top of the tower to protect it, and the golden light at the entrance to the bottom layer becomes weak or even disappears from time to time.
Harrison took advantage of this opportunity to block the golden light from falling above the entrance with the shield in his hand, holding up a gap for others to enter the pyramid.
However, Harrison's strength did not last long, and only two powerful captains successfully entered, and then Harrison, who couldn't hold on, took the opportunity to jump into the bottom of the pyramid.
Speaking of which, the shield is not made of any material, not only can resist the powerful lightning magic that reflects it, but it is also like an insulator, isolating the golden light at the entrance of the pyramid, so that it cannot completely cover the entire entrance.
Gao Jingfei's eyes were a little hot when he saw it, but he was not so greedy, because he could completely draw something similar to this shield through the Altar of the Heavens, even if he pulled out the shield made of raw Edman metal by the first hip in the Marvel World.
He estimated that these two shields should also be made of rare materials similar to vibranium and the like, although they were not magic weapons, but they were excellent materials for refining magic weapon flying swords, so if possible, get a look.
Thinking of these in his heart, Gao Jingfei also took advantage of the fact that the Mi people entered and followed in stealthily.
It's not that he can't use the teleportation spell to teleport in, but he can see that the layer of golden light outside the pyramid is not an ordinary spell, but a powerful power containing divinity, and he is afraid that it will be easy to use the teleportation spell rashly, and it will be bad if something goes wrong at that time.
Entering the inside of the pyramid, the three Harrison found that it was a spacious hall, and strangely there was no one, what they didn't know was that the three sun priests were afraid that the bottom would not be able to hold it, so they gathered all the temple warriors on it.
"Let's go up, the quest items must be in the pyramid, this pyramid is so magical, everyone be careful......"
Listening to Harrison's order, all three of them excitedly and cautiously followed the team towards the stairs of the second floor with their weapons in hand. After all, there are ten times more enemies than they are, although they are confident in their strength.
At this time, Gao Jingfei had already taken the first step to the top of the five-story pyramid.
Except for a few decorative ornaments and ordinary rooms for the clergy, there are no otherworldly objects inside, and the only thing that is interesting is the frescoes on both sides of the corridors on each floor.
These murals are the same as the temple pyramids, although they are very well preserved, and the paintings on them are only slightly old, just like the modern copy, but Gao Jingfei can see the heavy halo of history from them, indicating that their age is at least more than a thousand years.
Gao Jingfei quickly read it and found that this was a mural that recorded the mythological history of the Aztec civilization.
Of course, he couldn't fully understand the content of those murals for a while, but this is not the existence of Xiaomi, an artificial intelligence!
After quickly recording all the murals through the camera, combined with all the information about the mythological civilization of South America on the network, a relatively correct conclusion was drawn through analysis.
These murals are about the mythological content of the Aztec civilization about the belief in the sun.
For the ancient Aztecs, the "sun" was the most important presence in their civilization.
Somewhat contrary to later historians, the Aztec mythology recorded in this temple did not have so many branches, but only two major beliefs, the sun god and the famous Quetzalcoatl.
And their belief is based on the sun god, and even includes the existence of the real solar star and the creator, according to the records in the murals, even the god Quetzalcoatl is an incarnation of the sun god.
In connection with the records of Quetzalcoatl, a deity that is widely believed in Central and South America, discovered by many scholars, although the mainstream is to control the authority of life, harvest, culture, wind and rain, there are also a few claims that represent part of the divinity of the sun.
"So there's a good chance that the account here is the real Aztec transcendent history?"
Gao Jingfei is very interested in the Sun God, and he is also very interested in the Feathered Serpent God, the former's priesthood realm overlaps with his own cultivation field, and the Great Sun, Sanyang, Fire Virtue and other paths are closely related to the Sun Realm.
The latter is because he occasionally read an article when he was in a parallel world, which wrote that the god Quetzalcoatl was probably a god transformed from the ancient beliefs of Ying Long and Candle Dragon, which were brought to the American continent by immigrants during the Yin Shang period, and the legendary Ying Dragon, Candle Dragon and Quetzalcoatl God do have some similarities.
After looking at the information contained in the mural analyzed by Xiaomi, Gao Jingfei felt that he might gain a lot from this trip.
The Aztecs believed that the world had been created four times and destroyed four times.
Every time the world is created and a new sun appears to bring light to the world, it is the beginning of an epoch, and the fall of the sun represents the destruction of the world.
In this way, they believe that the world has gone through four epochs, each of which has gone through at least countless years, and that when the 21st century comes, the world is beginning to enter the "fifth solar age".
The frescoes record that at the beginning of each epoch, the sun god would record the creation of the world with a stone tablet called the "Book of the Sun" by the Aztecs.
