Beibei roams the magical starry world
Chapter 293 Ixichel Temple
The Ixichel Temple is dedicated to Ixichel, the goddess of the moon, rain and fertility. The temple has a unique shape and simple and elegant architecture.
The main building of the temple is made of stones of different sizes. Beibei, Enen, Doudou, Yueying, Obsidian, Yan, Yuanyuan, Honghaier and Parrot Dad walked into the temple slowly.
The internal structure of the temple is complex, with multiple rooms and passages. Among them, the most eye-catching one is a huge stone platform, which is a sacrificial platform for the goddess Ixichel.
The center of the sacrificial stone platform is carved with a mask symbolizing the goddess, and there is a stone pool below, which means that the moonlight and rain nourish all things, praying for a good harvest and a prosperous population.
Beibei and the others carefully browsed the stone carvings around them. These stone carvings graphically and vividly showed the image of the goddess Ixichel, as well as people's farming, hunting and other life scenes.
In the first stone carving, a scorching sun hangs in the sky and scorches the earth. The earth is dry and cracked, the cracks twisting and turning like gaping wounds.
The crops on the surrounding land were dead, and sparse vegetation was barely standing, with a few cacti and dry weeds dotting the land.
The leaves turn yellow and lose their vitality. The rivers are dry and windingly exposed across the earth.
In the second stone carving, night falls, the stars shine brightly in the sky, and the bright moon shines on the arid earth.
The goddess Ixichel is considered a benevolent, kind and mysterious goddess who has the power to control weather, water and fertility.
People believe that as long as they sincerely offer sacrifices to the moon, she will send rain and alleviate the drought.
On the sacrificial stone platform, sacrifices such as flowers, fruits and livestock were offered.
In the third stone carving, people dressed in festive costumes gathered in front of the sacrificial stone platform. They held flowers and offerings in their hands, with pious and expectant smiles on their faces.
The clan elders dressed in traditional priestly attire presided over the sacrificial ceremony.
In the fourth stone carving, the moon has risen directly above the sacrificial stone platform.
The chief priest of the tribe led the elders in priestly attire to sing poems praising the goddess Ixichel in accordance with ancient ritual procedures.
Their songs were loud and melodious, echoing throughout the wildness.
People followed the rhythm of the singing, clasping their hands and praying silently, hoping that the goddess Ixichel would hear their inner cries and pious supplications.
In the fifth stone carving, the high priest and the elder priests used ceremonial knives to gently cut the throats of the animals and dripped blood on the statue of the goddess Ixichel.
This is a tribute and offering to the goddess Ixichel, which is believed to attract the attention and sympathy of the goddess Ixichel.
In the sixth stone carving, the high priest and the elder priests placed flowers and fruits in front of the statue of the goddess Ixichel.
Under the leadership of the high priest, everyone knelt down again to express their respect and prayers to the goddess Ixichel. Pray to the goddess Ixichel to give them rain and save all creatures on this earth.
In the seventh stone carving, after the sacrificial ceremony, people sat around the bonfire and continued to pray.
They believed that the goddess Ixichel had heard their voices and that she would send rain in her kindness and power.
In the night sky, the moon shines brightly, seeming to illuminate the sorrow suppressed in people's hearts, making people feel happy and expectant.
At this moment, people are convinced that the goddess Ixichel is driving the watering truck on the way here. They just need to wait patiently and continue to worship to remind the goddess Ixichel not to drive in the wrong place.
The eighth deputy stone carvings, under the leadership of the priests, people worshiped for fifteen days in a row, and everyone's heart became more and more firm. They seemed to hear the goddess of Eskcher's driving water truck "cracking, 哐 哐 哐 哐". Sound.
People firmly believe that under the blessing of the goddess Ixichel, the dry days are coming to an end and rain will bring new life and hope.
The Ninth Stone Carving: One night after the sacrifice, an oval-shaped aircraft suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting a faint blue light, like a bright pearl in the night sky.
People walked out of their houses and knelt down to pray. They realized that the water sprinkler of the goddess Ixichel had come to them.
They must tell the goddess Ixichel through prayer that your destination is below you, this navigation is over, please start raining.
In the tenth stone carving, the water sprinkler of the goddess Ixichel flies very fast, sometimes hovering in the air, and sometimes suddenly disappearing into the distant sky.
It is speculated that the goddess Ixichel was measuring the regional extent and amount of precipitation.
People performed sacrifices again under the leadership of the high priest. People firmly believed that perseverance, patience and love were the tests of the goddess Ixichel to people. People began to pray and praise the goddess Ixichel day and night.
The eleventh stone carving, one night fifteen days later, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a long-awaited rain was about to fall.
People came to the outside of the house with joy and knelt down to pray. At this moment, they were both happy and worried that the expected rain would not fall.
The raindrops still fell in succession. At first, they were small raindrops, gently touching the faces of the praying people. Immediately afterwards, the rain gradually increased, and the raindrops turned into rain curtains and fell from the sky.
In the twelfth stone carving, it rained for three days and three nights. The crops came to life again under the moisture of the rain, and people's hearts were filled with joy.
The air is fresh and pleasant after the rain, and the fragrance of the earth fills your nostrils. The sun shines through the clouds and onto the moist earth, forming beautiful lines of light and shadow.
People feel the joy brought by the rain, and their gratitude to the goddess Ixichel arises spontaneously in their hearts.
The Thirteenth Stone Carving: After the rain, under the leadership of the high priest, people came to the sacrificial stone platform and sacrificed flowers, fruits and livestock.
Everyone was immersed in joy and gratitude, and a bright light enveloped the sacrificial stone platform.
A figure appeared in the bright light, communicated with the high priest for a moment, and then disappeared.
In the fourteenth stone carving, after the sacrifice, the high priest announced that he had been chosen by God to become God's messenger in the world.
Since then, in just six hundred years, many doctors with extremely high attainments in mathematics, astronomy, architecture, agriculture and other fields have been born in the ethnic group.
People began to learn to use the solar calendar, lunar calendar and Tzolkin calendar to calculate and build some mysterious buildings.
In the fifteenth stone carving, the high priest made accurate predictions about some important events. These predictions were recorded and spread.
One day, when the full moon reflected the completion of the pyramid ordered by the high priest, a feathered snake appeared on the tower, its head opened and its tongue stuck out, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.
On the sixteenth stone carving, a silver-white beam of light shot down from the full moon and formed a connection with the top of the pyramid. The sleeping people entered the pyramid one after another as if they were possessed.
People are constantly entering the pyramid, and some are disappearing.
On the seventeenth stone carving, the disappearance of the entire ethnic group brought about the decline of the entire civilization.
Foreign enemies invaded the land, ancient records were burned, buildings were destroyed, and the remaining people were enslaved.
Beibei and others looked at each other, as if they knew something that was not noticed by people.
Several people walked onto the sacrificial stone platform. Red Boy carefully observed the strange runes and words on the stone platform. After a long time, he said: "If I judge correctly, this sacrificial stone platform is mainly used for information transmission, which is the ancient version of the telephone. Or projection.”
Beibei asked curiously: "Red Boy, why do you think so?"
"The scale of this platform is very small. Judging from the stone carving patterns, the energy generated by each sacrificial item is very small. Looking at the simple runes carved on the stone platform, it is mainly about spatial coordinate positioning. This positioning is mainly for communication." Honghai'er explained
"How do you explain the figure in the stone carvings?" Doudou asked puzzledly.
"That's a projection." Honghai'er explained
"Then why use a strong beam of light?" Yueying asked doubtfully.
"Three reasons. First, the distance is too far, which requires a lot of energy; second, the figure must be covered to maintain confidentiality and mystery; third, a large amount of data needs to be transmitted to the high priest through the light beam." Hong Hai'er said speculatively.
Everyone nodded, thinking that Hong Hai'er's guess made some sense.
Enen suddenly said: "Is the transmission channel in that pyramid?"
Honghaier nodded and said: "It is possible that the pyramid absorbs the power of the sun and the moon every day, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will have the ability to teleport once."
"I suddenly thought about the high priest's prophecy that the earth's resources would be depleted. Could it mean..." At this point, Beibei pointed to the sky and continued: "It was intercepted by them and depleted."
After listening to the conversation of several people, everyone frowned and started thinking. At this moment, they became more interested in the Black Demon Society.
At this time, a message came from the monitor, indicating that the movements of the vice-president of the Black Demon Society had been discovered. After everyone glanced at the message, they rushed over immediately.
