Chapter 902 Macaw (3,000 Words)
Wrap cornmeal with corn leaves, then steam it and tear the leaves in front of you to eat this local food tamal, which tastes salty.
Although Poor Takahashi has never been to Huaguo, she knows that this is the way of Huaguo's zongzi, and Nan Zaoyang next door seems to have had some disputes with Huaguo because of this.
It's just that in Central America, which is thousands of miles away, there is still such a way of eating rice dumplings, which is really amazing. Humans are amazingly consistent in their creation.
"This special ethnic flavor is still relatively novel." Zorgen finished the last bite of the burrito, "but it may not suit your appetite."
The burrito was served with red bean paste. The red beans became desserts in China, but in the Americas where they were born, they were fermented into sour bean paste and eaten on pancakes.
"It's really not to my taste."
After taking a sip of the local food, Takahashi nodded in agreement. After living in the island country for more than ten years, she has developed an oriental stomach and cannot accept this kind of food that combines American and Castilian styles.
"Are you all ready?"
"Just waiting for your arrival, you can find the treasure in this Copan ruins."
Zorgen found several Honduran coins from the clothes.
"Boss, check out."
"OK!"
Strangely looking at the two people who were talking in Mandarin, the boss didn't think much about it. He just wondered how this man and woman with a huge age difference knew each other well. Could it be that this ugly old man is very rich?
That's the only reason, after all, the two don't look like father and daughter from the outside.
"Boss, how should we go to the ruins?"
"Just go south..." Everyone who comes to the town is for the Copan ruins, and the boss doesn't know how such a small place can attract the attention of a group of people. It's just a pile of stones that have been placed for thousands of years. , Even if it is a cultural relic thousands of years ago, this is too boring, "Do you need tickets? I have cheap tickets here, which are much cheaper than the tickets at the entrance of the ruins. They cost fifteen dollars. I only have tickets here. For half their price."
This kind of business seems to exist more or less in every tourist attraction. The more famous the scenic spot is, the more people resell tickets. As a transcendent who can defy the laws of the world, Zorgen naturally rejected the boss's kindness.
Just kidding, they are extraordinary people who don't follow the rules.
The two headed towards the Copan ruins one after the other. There are about 10,000 people living in the small town, and the area of the Copan ruins town is far larger than the Copan ruins city.
Without the help of power storage, canals, and developed social organizations, the American jungle is destined not to have a city with a large population, such as the city with a population of one million in ancient times in the Old World, which is simply unimaginable for the Mayan civilization.
"A handcrafted Mayan amulet that will protect you from demonic attacks."
"Freshly ground hot cocoa!"
"Do you two need hats? Our local hats."
Carts carrying bottled water shuttle through the streets, and vendors sell agricultural and sideline products on the side of the road. There is no lack of Mayan-style handicrafts during the period, and I don’t know if it is Aztec, Inca, or Mayan. Elements, it seems that these vendors are quite serious.
But they can't even speak a word of Mayan language. The direct descendant of Mayan language is now called Yucatan language, but there are very few people who know it. To understand Mayan mythology, it all depends on the support of modern archaeology. .
This place is already in the tropics, and it would be good if a highly complex ancient civilization could be established in the densely jungled tropical rainforest without relying on wheels or animal power.
But it can only be said to be good. Compared with the civilization of the Old World, the Maya civilization is mysterious and paradoxical. In fact, including the most outstanding astronomy, it is beaten by the main civilization of the Old World.
"Two, please buy tickets."
Seeing the two people walking in, the staff of the ruins politely collected the entrance fees.
Standing in front of the Copan ruins, Takahashi looked at Zorgen in a strange way and paid the entrance fee for two people.
The Copan ruins are the business card of the Republic of Honduras and the most famous scenic spot. The annual repair cost of the ruins depends on the tickets and the support of foreign scientific research teams.
"Isn't it a surprise?" Zorgen took the paper ticket to the Copan ruins, "We are not bloodthirsty people. I appreciate the modern system created by the human world. If it were placed thousands of years ago It was too difficult to find such a ruins in the rainforest, tsk tsk, it’s really thanks to you humans that you can find the ruins of Copan according to the myths of the local natives.”
If Amelika knew that the black angel was intercepted in front of an ancient ruins and obediently bought a ticket, she would doubt her life. This angel enters and exits Amelika's airspace without saying hello. The nuclear weapon she carries is the best Tickets are enough to make everyone shut their mouths obediently.
It's just that the other pair of Chaofan didn't abide by the law so much. Under the leadership of Pu Piaole, Snake Girl also understood the joy of whoring for nothing. The Republic made two tickets less money.
"Park Piaole, look quickly, these bricks are carved with bats."
The Copan ruins are surrounded by a circle of tropical rainforest scenery, and stone pillars from thousands of years ago stand on the inner squares and roads.
Various monster images are depicted on the pillars, and these exquisite reliefs are the most admirable part of the Copan site.
"And here, what is this?"
Snake then walked to a building similar to a stadium. It was a small stadium with two trapezoidal stone buildings facing each other. There was a long open space in the middle. It looked like a place where knights were fighting in the Middle Ages. The two knights stood facing each other, holding their lances horizontally, and then the horses under their crotches accelerated suddenly, and they knocked each other off the horses as they passed by each other.
"Let me see...the football field, it's the football field of the Copan people."
Compared with the introduction on the sign, Park Piaole guessed the purpose of this building correctly, but whether the Mayans used their feet to play this kind of ball is still a matter of debate.
But one thing is certain - the two teams participating in the ball game, the loser will usually be beheaded and sacrificed to the gods after the game.
In some cases, it is also possible to kill the winning side.
In some rare cases, both sides rushed to the altar after the game.
Under the risk of decapitation, there are few black-box operations, so gambling is also very popular in the Mayan city-states.
"Tsk tsk, did ancient Americans know how to play football so early?"
"What kind of bird is that? It's so beautiful!"
"Quack quack!"
Huge bird calls sounded around the ruins. It is the colorful macaw that can be seen everywhere in Copan. The call of the macaw is more than ten times louder than that of ordinary crows, and the hard beak not only likes to eat nuts, but also likes to eat nuts. Facing the lower mouth of the stone relief in the ruins.
Three macaws flew across the field with their long tails, as if creating three fleeting rainbows in the air.
If it was the era of giant snakes without intelligence, Snake Princess would be very interested in preying on a few macaws.
But obviously not now, and she no longer has the habit of eating raw food.
She Ji is not interested in football either, she then looked at other places in the building, but when she caught a glimpse of a figure, She Ji's joyful movements froze.
"What are you looking at?" Pu Piaole is squinting at the Copan ruins. He is just watching for fun. All ruins are the same thing in his eyes. His understanding of Mayan civilization is all from the movie "2012" "Income.
This mysterious civilization seems to be crazy and cool. In Pu Piaole's not-so-good historical concept, the Mayan civilization should be as ancient as ancient Egypt, no, it is even farther away, but in fact the Mayan civilization is older than the ancient sheep. Born even later.
But with his less sensitive nerves, he also felt the weirdness revealed in the Copan ruins. There are relief paintings of bats everywhere, just like entering a palace made by bats for themselves.
However, She Ji's eyes turned to the other side, and her two eyes became the vertical pupils of snakes. Fortunately, ordinary people would not notice such tiny details.
"It has a special taste."
As she spoke, Snake Ji half-covered her mouth with her left hand, and the snake letter protruding from her mouth captured various components in the air.
"The familiar smell is not annoying, it's an acquaintance." Snake Ji turned her head and stared at Pu Piaole, "There are other extraordinary here."
"But there are other bad smells, I don't know who this smell is."
"??"
Pu Piaole's originally relaxed and comfortable mood instantly fell from the clouds to the ground, and it didn't fall on the flat ground, but fell directly into the canyon.
"Other extraordinary?"
"Let's go, this place can't stay anymore!"
"We can't conflict with other extraordinary people, and we are both dead in the eyes of the outside world." Park Piaole admitted quickly.
Whether it's a powerful Chaofan or a weak Chaofan, it's better not to have conflicts.
He finally recovered his peaceful life, how could he be disturbed again.
"En." She Ji vomited the snake letter again, and the familiar feeling deepened in her heart.
After distinguishing for a while, she remembered the source of this smell - it was the human who helped her in Lake Biwa. In the past, Snake Girl didn't know who this human was, but in the past few days of living in human society, her knowledge and The level of logic is rising rapidly, and the other party's reputation is too great in the human world.
"The people here are..."
Seeing Pu Piaole's worried expression, Snake Ji cleverly swallowed the word "Black Angel" into her stomach. Now she also knows Takahashi's pitiful and terrifying identity, if she says it, it will scare Pu Piaole's guts out of sight. no trace.
Although if there is a serious confrontation, the two sides don't know who will win the battle and have the last laugh, but it is better to avoid conflicts.
But just when Pu Piaole was about to carry out his counsel to the end, the tourists in the ruins suddenly exclaimed.
"Boom!"
A violent roar came from the ground!
