Chapter 1352 The Construction of a Unified Culture: The Five Elements and the History of Jiao People

“Since the gods bestowed the first flame and the Jiao people’s ancestors walked out of the forest, the ancient saints have predicted the future, five gods, five elements, and five destinies!… The reincarnation of five eras, the birth of five kinds of gods, the reverse birth of the five elements, and the five ancient and destined destinies!…”

“The gods of the five eras are flames, sacred trees, blue snakes, golden eagles, and black wolves. In the first era, the first fire was ignited from chaos, and the Jiao people’s ancestors built the first city-state. In the second era, the sacred tree was born from the fire, and the ancient saints gave enlightenment to all tribes under the tree. In the third era, the blue snake escaped from the sacred tree and fell into the seven Jiao people clans in the world. In the fourth era, the golden eagle hunted the blue snake and conquered the Jiao people in turn, re-condensing the divinity and making the tribes one! Until the final fifth In the era, the black wolf ran north and south, connecting the endless continents, and the seven tribes of Jiao people finally unified. And the God's destiny bird fell from the sky and perched on the charred sacred tree, becoming the final belief totem of the Jiao people! …”

“The elements of these five eras are fire, wood, water, gold, and earth! They are born in reverse, and the successor contains the former. Earth gives birth to gold, water, wood, and fire. The five elements are destiny! …And the specific manifestation of destiny is the five missions of the Jiao people: 'Inherit the sacred fire and worship the Lord God', 'cultivate the fields and nurture the people', 'connect the lakes and control the two oceans', 'conquer the four directions and prosper the martial virtues', 'unify the north and the south, and there is no border'! ”

In the tent, Avite looked serious and read the "History of the Jiao People" carefully. At the beginning of this book, the theme that runs through the whole book is the "Five Gods, Five Elements, and Five Destinies" that is like a prophecy. And if you take a closer look, the abstruse and mysterious, self-consistent and logical, grand and guiding in it are like the most sacred sacrificial divination, enough to make the Nahua nobles who believe in ghosts and gods crazy!

"Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Fates?... Xiuluot, is this also your divine prophecy?..."

"Oh! Witness the Lord God! Teacher God King, this "History of the Jiao People" is an archaeological discovery from the first ancient city of the Olmec, the 'Ancient Holy City'... It is the true ancient context and prophecy discovered by the devout Totonac priests from the ancient epoch stone tablets and carvings! According to the research of the priests, the carvings of the 'Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Fates' have a history of at least 4,000 years, and were drawn by the common Jiao people ancestors of all tribes!..."

Xiuluot's face was solemn, telling the origin of the "Five Gods, Five Elements, Five Fates". In fact, the historians of the ancient holy city did collect five ancient murals of gods, found the images and reliefs of the five elements, and arranged them in the "correct" order of interpretation, and then worshipped them in the pyramid temple of the ancient holy city! And Shulot and the priests only made some "small contributions" to "reasonably interpret" the patterns that were dusted on the murals and stone carvings.

Therefore, this theory of destiny is by no means "half true and half false", "deliberate compilation", or "I annotate the Six Classics"... This is "well-founded archaeology", "the Renaissance of the ancient Jiao civilization", and it has a complete set of supporting relics, antiquities and inherited ballads, which can definitely withstand the test of history and future generations!

"Lord God! It is really a prophecy from the ancient Olmec? Destiny... the fate of the world?... The destiny of the Jiao people!..."

Avit pursed his lips, and his expression became much more solemn. He could not transcend the times, nor could he see through the "divinity" and transcendence like those old priests who were old and wise. He continued to read, turning over the difficult and obscure "heavenly destiny theory" in the front, which was full of loops and various arguments of the priests, and came to the real "historical records of the origin" part.

"In the first era, 800 52-year cycles, 41,600 years ago! The Lord God awakened and ignited the fire of the sun. He created the world, created the sacred rubber tree, and created and enlightened people with different images of gods! The Lord God is omnipresent and omnipotent!"

"The ancestors held the torch of the Lord God high, walked out of the jungle, came from the origin at the end of the West Sea, walked 41,600 miles east, and then stopped at the location of the Ancient Holy City! Here, they saw the sacred rubber tree, which covered the sky and supported the ancient sky. This only world tree, which inherits the divinity of heaven and earth, is also the only way from the earth to the sky! ... So, it was here that the ancestors established the first city-state, the Ancient Holy City..."

"Then, the Lord God fell asleep in the tree, and spit out the true fire of the sun in his sleep. So, the first fire of the second era burned the tree that reached the sky! Too The fire of the sun ignited the rubber tree, the blue-blooded snake flowed out, the golden-smoke eagle flew away, and the black-light wolf fell... Fire, tree, snake, eagle, wolf, the dispersion of these five kinds of gods is the five sources of divinity in the world. The ancient saint saw this with his own eyes, and knew that this was the fate of the five eras, so he left the prophecy of "Five Elements of Destiny"..."

"So far, the second era of ancient times has begun from eighty fifty-two-year reincarnations, four thousand one hundred and sixty years ago! The ancestors took the "Ancient Saint City" as the source and then established many ancient cities. These first ancient cities are also the origins of the clans of various tribes in the world. But the main god never woke up, and with the burnt Tongtian God Tree, the divinity dispersed everywhere. So, in order to find the traces of the main god and the scattered divinity, the ancestors of the rubber people resolutely left the ancient saint city and went in different directions! So far, there are seven branches of the rubber people! And the third era of the scattered rubber people has begun! ..."

After reading this, Avite took a deep breath and tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart! Even as wise as he was, he was still shocked by this exciting story of his ancestors that spanned thousands of miles and thousands of years. He has always been suspicious, but faced with this logically complete mythological history, faced with various arguments and textual research, he had to choose to believe!

And in essence, this kind of narrative that is one and the same, divine and ancient, is what he is willing to believe, and what most tribes in the world are willing to believe. This is the connection of culture, creating "something" from "nothing", and then solidifying "something" into "truth". And at the end of the connection between generations, this is an extremely real belief, a mark engraved in everyone's soul!

"The Lord witnessed everything! From the Second Era to the Third Era, each branch of the Jiao people created their own legends and civilizations! The first branch of the Jiao people stayed in the land of the Olmecs and guarded many ancient cities. They continued to be the Totonac tribes, the Jungle Soque tribes..."

"The second branch of the Jiao people went west to the plateau and became the Teotihuacan tribes, built the Sun and Moon Pyramids, and also continued to be the plateau Nahua tribes, until the Mexica people chosen by the Lord..."

"The third branch of the Jiao people went further west to the lake and became the Loma Alta tribes , built the lakeside pyramid, and finally gave rise to the Purépecha and Tekos people..."

"The fourth branch of the Jiao people went to the southern jungle and became the ancient Zapotec tribes, built the Alban Mountain Pyramid, and then gave rise to the three tribes in the middle of the clouds..."

"The fifth branch of the Jiao people went east to the Mayan jungle, founded the Golden Mayan tribes, built the Serpent God Pyramid in Tikal, and gave rise to the Lowland and Highland Maya! They did not stop, but continued eastward to the East China Sea Islands, scattered in the stormy sea, and gave rise to the hot land of Cuba, the mountains of Haiti, and the islands of The island tribes! …”

“The sixth branch of the Jiao people went north to the northern continent and scattered in the endless disasters, from the west coast to the east coast, from the wasteland to the grassland, from the river to the forest... They formed hundreds of small tribes, all the way to the cold far north! … They have begun to return, returning to the ancient Jiao people…”

“The seventh branch of the Jiao people went south to the southern continent, lost in the endless rainforest, and split into four large tribes... the salt and gem tribes of Chibcha, the river tribes of the jungle, the Andes tribes of the mountains, and the earth and mountains of Mapuche The tribes... they have forgotten the Lord God, but the Lord God's sun shines on everything, and they will eventually return one day, and the tribes will be reunited! ..."

"However, the story of the seven tribes of Jiao people is not all that is recorded in the ancestors' history. The ancient saints of the Second Era saw through everything about the origin with the eyes of the star realm! At the beginning of the First Era, 41,600 miles away in the west, there was the origin where the Jiao people's ancestors held up torches and set out for the first time! And the location of that origin is just opposite the West Sea, on the distant West Sea continent, there are ancestors and fellow tribes who have never crossed the sea to the east! ..."
