Chapter 571: The Mixtec Tribes, Highlands, Lowlands, and Coasts

“.The original god came from chaos. He has two faces and a deer head, that is, the Deer God. He separated heaven and earth, divided mountains and rivers, stripped away light and darkness, and created the origin of the world! Then, his two incarnations multiplied with each other, giving birth to four gods of creation, namely Dzahui, the god of rain, Tonatiuh, the god of the sun, Cohuy, the god of feathered serpent, and Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death.”

“In addition to the four gods of creation, there are also Huehuetéotl, the god of fire, Nitoayuta, the god of fertility, and Yozotoyua, the god of wealth. In fact, the origin of the Mexica gods is quite similar to that of the Mixtec gods. Both belong to the Nahua faith, and perhaps they are incarnations of each other.”

Hearing this series of difficult names of Mixtec gods, Black Wolf felt dizzy. He looked a little impatient and glanced at the young priest coldly.

"Get to the point!"

"Yes, yes."

The young priest nodded repeatedly. He licked his dry lips and recited the inherited epic carefully.

".The four gods created all things in the world. The rain god and the feathered serpent mated in the cave of the tree in the cloud and gave birth to the ancestors of our Mixtec people! The specific location is about two or three hundred miles south of Shenshi City, the sacred cloud altar in Yunshan City."

"The Mixtec ancestors of the descendants of the gods needed land to reproduce, and the land belonged to the sun god Tonatiuh. So, the ancestors of the descendants of the gods fought against the sun god and shot Tonatiuh with a bow and arrow. The sun god Tonatiuh was seriously injured and dying, and after hiding in the western mountains, there was sunset!"

"Huh? The descendants of the gods shot the sun and brought sunset?"

Hearing this, Black Wolf was a little surprised. In the Mexica Alliance that worships the sun god, such disrespectful myths would never be circulated.

"Yes, yes! Bows and arrows were invented by the ancestors of the Mixtecs, and were later learned by the Tlaxcalans who moved south. The nobles of each state usually collect a few bows and arrows to use in sacred sacrifices. In the past two years, the longbows of the alliance have also begun to circulate among the nobles."

Speaking of this, the young priest proudly straightened his chest, then quickly bent his body and smiled.

"Of course, the sun god is also the god we worship. Quetzalcoatl is in charge of corn and taught our ancestors the knowledge of planting. The rain god controls wind and rain and gives us rain and dew. Corn fields were then cultivated between the highlands, lowlands and coasts. The ancestors have lived and multiplied for thousands of years, experienced four eras and the end of the world, and today's Mixtec tribes have been established!"

The black wolf's eyes flashed. He keenly captured three key words.

"Highlands, lowlands and coasts?"

"Ah! Wise General Mexica."

The young priest nodded respectfully. He glanced at the body of the old priest on the ground and did not dare to hide anything.

"The various Mixtec tribes can be generally divided into three categories according to where they gather: highland Mixtecs, lowland Mixtecs, and coastal tribes."

"The highland Mixtecs live in the mountains in the clouds. They have the oldest heritage and worship two holy places in the north and south! Among them, the God Stone City in the north worships the Temple of the Clouds and is the leader of all tribes. In the entire Tehuacan Valley, according to the number of mobilized warriors, there are at least 160,000 to 170,000 tribes! And the Cloud Mountain City (Yodzocahi) two or three hundred miles to the south worships the Cloud Altar Sanctuary. The terrain is extremely high and there are about 60,000 to 70,000 people."

"The highland Mixtecs have the God Stone City and the Cloud Mountain City. There are more than 200,000 people in total."

Black Wolf looked to the south, and saw green mountains everywhere. He silently recited in his heart and wrote down these valuable information.

"Keep talking!"

"The lowland Mixtecs are mostly in the west and south of the highlands. The core of the lowlands is naturally the prosperous capital of the alliance, the mountain river city Huajuapan! Mountain River City is more than 200 miles southwest of Shenshi City. The Huajuapan Valley where it is located has 130,000 to 140,000 people. And there, it is also a prosperous place for the production of gold, silver, and turquoise, and it has the most outstanding gold and silver craftsmen in the world. In fact, in the classical era of the Second Era, it has another name, called the Mine Hill City!"

"Mountain River City! More than 200 miles southwest of the gold and silver mines"

Hearing the capital of the Mixtec Alliance, Black Wolf's eyes flashed with a strong desire to fight. The surrounding dog generals all had red eyes, and did not hide their murderous intent and greed.

"."

The young priest shrank his neck, and a chill ran down his spine. He paused for a moment until the Mexica commander looked over, and then continued in a low voice.

"Lowland Mixtec is vast. Two hundred miles west of Shanhe City is Huamuxtitlán, a place rich in fruit. This settlement has about 80,000 to 90,000 tribes. Three hundred miles southwest of Shanhe City is Ahuatepec, a place with oak trees and washed by rivers. There are more than 80,000 tribes in the valley along the river."

"Yeguo City and Ahuatepec are both along the tributaries of the Talzas River. Going down the river, you can reach the coast. As for the three or four hundred miles south of Shanhe City, it is the border between the lowlands and the coast, Puctitlán. Similarly, there are 80,000 to 90,000 people here."

"Lowland Mixtec, Shanhe City, Yeguo City, Ahuatepec, Smoky Valley City."

Black Wolf frowned, trying to restore the location of the city-state in his mind. After a while, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the young priest's collar fiercely.

"You, you are talking so messy, I can't remember it at all. Come on, draw it for me!"

".yes."

The young priest lowered his head and did not dare to refute. He took out a long pen made of feathers, dipped it in Mayan blue dye, and began to draw on the wooden boards of the temple.

After a while, Hei Lang looked at the picture for a while and then suddenly realized.

Fight all the way south along the Water Valley City where His Highness is, and conquer the Quagmire Village. Below are Yeguo City and Oak Valley City. There are rolling hills all the way, and the terrain is very difficult to walk. The army's logistics could only rely on rivers and zigzag southward. And that Yangu City is five hundred miles away from the Divine Stone City here, and there are mountain roads along the way, which is extremely far.

The entire lowland Mixtec has four large cities and nearly 400,000 mountain tribes, spread over 40,000 to 50,000 square kilometers of land. Based on the ratio of 300,000 people supporting 10,000 warriors, there can be approximately 13,000 warriors, and at least twice as many militiamen.

"Damn it! These Mixtec lands in the south are full of dangerous mountains and forests. They are such a barren land!"

Black Wolf stared at the priest's map and cursed in his mind. However, the more desolate conditions are yet to come.

"Coast Mixtec is relatively long and narrow. Going south along the tributaries of the Tarsus River until you reach the vast lake is the westernmost big city, Ometepec. Twin Mountain City is seven or eight hundred miles away from the Divine Stone City, and the surrounding area is actually There are no mountains, only two hills. The city-state is surrounded by coastal lowland rainforest, and there are estimated to be more than 80,000 forest tribes. Seventy miles south of Shuangshan City is Hedou City (Cuajinicuilapa), which produces various products. Grow delicious beans.”

"Going south from the Cloud Mandala, along the extremely steep Cloud River (i.e. Río Viejo), six hundred miles away, you will reach the eastern Mixtec city on the coast, where more than 100,000 tribes gather. That is an immortal unity. The city-state founded by the ancestor King Deer and Tiger Claw, the great Black Temple City, Tututepec!”

Having said this, the young priest looked a little excited. He temporarily forgot about the terrible Mexica commander, and his eyes were filled with yearning and reverence.

"It was the most influential southern Mixtec city-state before the end of the Fourth Age! The immortal Tiger Claw King was also the only king in the entire three thousand years of Mixtec epics who unified the highlands, lowlands and coasts. !”

"It's a pity that the end of the Fourth Era came mercilessly after King Tiger Claw went to the Kingdom of God. Drought enveloped the earth, food production was reduced, and the states fell into division again! As for today's Mixtec Alliance, there is only an alliance. They have different names, but they don’t belong to each other! O skylark in the clouds, you have beautiful colors and moving wings. However, in front of the ferocious jaguar, you are just a prey!”

The map is in the Easter egg chapter and needs to be reviewed and approved. Okay, the map of the south is completely open. Further east, there’s Maya!
