Chapter 274 Pyramids and the Kingdom of Gold

"Welcome to the Rainbow Tribe, the Aizen Priest of the Tang Tribe!"

The Yeyu priest from the Rainbow Tribe treated Xie Zihao with a warm attitude.

Speaking of which, the aborigines in the Jinzhou area are not only more educated, but also not as isolated as the aborigines in other areas. They seem to have frequent exchanges with the outside world, because Xie Zihao saw a lot of obvious things from the tribal houses and furnishings.

It is something created by the outside world.

For example, there are copper teapots, small iron stoves, and a few old-fashioned muskets.

Seeing that Xie Zihao noticed this, Priest Yeyu explained with a smile in a language that was more fluent than Black Earth:

"These are all exchanged for gold with merchants. Although we don't live on a gold mine, we occasionally find some gold mines around the territory. There is still a certain amount accumulated over hundreds of years!"

"I heard from Kurotsuchi that Priest Aizen can get some muskets, and our Rainbow Tribe is willing to exchange gold for some..."

Xie Zihao nodded.

"No problem, but forget about the gold, I don't lack these, just think of it as a gift to your department..."

I have read stories before that the colonists often exchanged gold from the natives of the New World. After all, the New World was so attractive in the first place because of the discovery of gold and silver mines.

This is true in South America, Central America, and the western part of North America, including Alaska and other cold areas that have not yet been discovered.

If gold mines had not been discovered in Jinzhou, it might not have developed to its current scale fifty years later.

It's just that this is a dream world, and the gold produced there is worthless to Xie Zihao.

However, everything that happened next made Xie Zihao feel that he should not speak too early, so he saw Priest Yeyu smiling and explaining:

"The gold produced by our tribe is different. It is a gift from the great Quetzalcoatl. I am sure Priest Aizen will like it!"

Hearing the name Quetzalcoatl, Xie Zihao immediately became interested.

"Since it was given by the great god, I have to take a look. I just don't know if two hundred Brown Bess muskets are enough in exchange for it?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and four huge wooden boxes appeared in front of the three of them. The lids were opened, and inside were all brand-new flintlock guns that were still polished with gun oil.

The reason why it is an old-fashioned flintlock gun is that it has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. It is most suitable for aborigines to use. On the contrary, other various new rifles are easy to damage and difficult to replenish ammunition. They are suitable for a few gods.

It is used by shooters and is not suitable for large-scale installation.

So even though the Brown Bess is already an old gun of the 1730 type, because of its reliability, it has been fighting with the Great Empire in this world for a full 150 years, and it did not stop production until 1839.

It took four years to completely withdraw from the Korean army.

But today, three years later, this gun is still widely used around the world, and indigenous people also like this simple-to-operate weapon.

The black soil next to them also showed an envious look. This kind of weapon was exactly what their Seven Color Flame Alliance urgently needed. Facing the pioneers and gold diggers who had gradually moved westward in recent years, the Sioux tribe was under great pressure.

But he didn't say anything. After all, the Aizen priest was their partner, and it wouldn't be difficult to get weapons in the future.

Rainbow High Priest Ye Yu saw the four large boxes of arms appearing out of thin air, and his expression suddenly lit up, and his attitude towards Xie Zihao became even more enthusiastic.

"Enough, enough. None of the merchants have such good guns. They always provide us with used old guns. Occasionally, a few new guns are secretly smuggled in. The big white tribes are still very afraid of us.

God’s people.”

Of course Xie Zihao understands that although those businessmen want to make money, they are more afraid of being targeted by the federal government, so of course they will only sell you old guns. The White Eagle Federation has long had the idea of ​​​​eradicating all the indigenous peoples of the North American continent. It is just a Teng.

It's just that he doesn't take action and he doesn't have enough strength.

Even if the aboriginal tribes in Golden State do not pose any threat, they cannot be allowed to become stronger.

After calling the tribe members to move the weapons to the warehouse, Priest Yeyu smiled apologetically at Xie Zihao:

"Please come with me."

With that said, he led Xie Zihao and Heitui into the depths of the tribe.

In a half-artificial, half-natural cave building, the more Xie Zihao looked at it, the more familiar the inside of the building became. Then he suddenly thought that this seemed to be a building similar to the ruins of the Aztec pyramids.

Although he is not a major in primitive American civilization, Xie Zihao, who has learned about this aspect, feels more and more similar to him the more he looks at it.

When the three of them walked into a stone palace through the repaired passage and saw the murals carved on the walls inside, he was even more convinced of this.

"This is a pyramid, or a temple and an altar, built by the Aztecs. Judging from the appearance and scale, it shouldn't be too big, but it has been at least hundreds of thousands of years, because most of the appearance is covered by earth and stone.

That’s why it looks like a semi-man-made cave!”

With these thoughts in mind, Xie Zihao was still distracted by observing and memorizing the content of the murals around him.

Priest Yeyu took out a wooden square box from the temple that was slightly larger than the old tofu cube. It looked like it was a product of foreigners, so he had a certain idea.

Ye Yu opened the lid and showed the contents to Xie Zihao.

"Priest Aizen, this is the gold in the great Quetzalcoatl Kingdom!"

Kurotsuchi on the side was surprised when he heard this:

“It’s actually gold from the Kingdom of Gold?”

Xie Zihao was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

He had heard the name of the Golden Country for a long time. In his previous life, he had heard the legend of a Golden Country in America, where every city was built with gold.

In this life, because I studied history and archeology, I know more about the ancient legends of the New World.

The Kingdom of Gold has an inseparable relationship with the Quetzalcoatl god believed by the Aztecs.

Now that we have come into contact with Indians, we must mention the god Quetzalcoatl.

The belief in this god is widely distributed among the indigenous countries and tribes in South, Central and North America. Among them, there are many tribes who believe in this most famous god in the Americas. Due to the change of the pantheon, Quetzalcoatl even became the American god for a time.

The supreme god of ancient civilization.

Therefore, even if some tribes do not believe in Quetzalcoatl, they still have great respect for this ancient god. After all, he is the god of their indigenous people!

In this era of development, even the aboriginal people in northern North America, such as the Sioux, have many tribes who choose to believe in this Quetzalcoatl god.

Quetzalcoatl has many names, the more famous of which is probably Kukulkan. It is said that the sun god believed in by the legendary Golden Kingdom of the Aztec civilization of Brother Modu also has a close relationship with Quetzalcoatl.

connect.

However, many people regard this as a legend. After all, the Golden Country, as one of the two oldest civilizations in the Americas, has long disappeared into the dust of history over time. The later Aztec civilization is said to have only inherited part of it.

The empire established by the indigenous people who inherited the Golden Country was then destroyed by Western colonists in a few hundred people.

And what Xie Zihao discovered in this dream world today proves that the so-called Golden Kingdom does indeed exist, at least in this world.

The golden city at the core of the Kingdom of Gold is most likely the earthly kingdom of the ancient Sun God, the god believed by the ancient Aztecs.
