The myth and legend of agave Before the Spanish discovered America, there was a tribe living in the plateau area around Mexico City. They are gentle and love peace, but if other tribes invade them, they will never show weakness and will fight hard.

But the last moderate leader also died. After his son Metmock succeeded to the throne, the situation changed: the new leader wanted to conquer other tribes by force! The leader of the neighboring tribe has a beautiful daughter. One day, Metmoc sent a messenger to the leader of a neighboring tribe and asked him to marry his daughter. As a result, the news brought back by the messenger disappointed Metmock.

In this regard, Metmoc felt greatly insulted and launched a war against the tribe. He led all the people with bows and spears and occupied the tribe overnight.

From then on, they became savage and belligerent, and the war spread everywhere. Everywhere they went, everything was razed to the ground. Metmoc's superb martial arts, coupled with his bravery and good fighting skills, soon all the tribes were under his rule.

One day, Metmock said to his subordinates:? It is said that there is a wealthy tribe in the northern mountainous area. The tribal leader has a beautiful daughter, and I want to marry her. If he doesn't agree to this request, we will go to war with him. ?

Metmoc led the soldiers to the north. In the evening, they came to an open glade and camped there. When Metmoc visited the camp, he looked up at a bright moon hanging high in the air and surrounded by silence. In this dead of night, he began to look back on his past military career, and an uneasy mood tortured him. He felt very guilty about his past atrocities. At this time, a breeze blew through the treetops and a white light shone at him. He felt dazzled and his hands and feet were tied. I don't know what happened. A voice sounded: Metmoc, where are you taking your tribe?

The young leader looked up and saw the goddess of the moon driving in front of him. The moon goddess said:? You have done many bad things, destroyed many beautiful fields and killed many kind people. Now you want to force a beautiful girl to be your wife. Do you know who will fall in love with such a cruel person as you?

Metmoc was very upset and suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: Ah, no one will forgive me! ? At this time, Chang 'e disappeared in the dark night sky. When the soldiers saw that the leader was in a trance, they all gathered around. After a while, Metmock woke up and said to the soldiers, I'm fine. Go and rest! ?

The next day, Metmoc solemnly said to the soldiers:? I have made up my mind that I will never start a war again. After negotiating with the leader of this alpine tribe, we immediately returned to our hometown. Even if he doesn't marry my daughter, I won't attack them. ?

The soldiers were all surprised. In fact, most people in the tribe don't like this conquest and hope to return to China as soon as possible.

The leader of Gaoshan refused to marry his daughter to Metmoc. Metmoc remembered the words of the goddess of the moon and restrained himself. And vowed that from now on, I will repent and make up for my past sins.

After listening to his words, the leader of Gaoshan nationality couldn't believe how this savage and cruel man suddenly became so gentle and modest. He wants to see Metmock in action.

In order to prove that he was telling the truth, Metmock promised to wait until the seventh month? Wait until the deer moon comes, then propose.

After Metmoc led the troops back to their hometown, the people in the tribe found that their leader was completely different from before. Peace reappeared in the plateau, the barren fields reappeared with vitality, and the leaders of other tribes also eliminated their fear of him.

Seventh month? Luyue came, Metmoc invited priests and wizards, chose a good day, and prepared to invite relatives and friends to the leaders of the alpine tribes. Metmoc followed the priests excitedly, which was the first time in his life to attend such a ceremony. When the procession reached the altar, it rained cats and dogs. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, and Memok heard a voice say to him: Memok, I am the water god, sent by the sun god to talk to you. It is your good wish to make up for your mistakes, but it is not enough to rely on your own strength. ?

Metmoc said: God, what should I do?

? To be a good person, it is not enough to live for a few years. Only by following God can you always do good. ? Say that finish, water god disappeared. Metmoc suddenly felt that his legs were stuck in the soil, and his whole body and mind felt unspeakable happiness. Under people's amazing eyes, Metmoc gradually turned into a beautiful agave tree.

Since then, agave has appeared on the plateau of ancient Mexico. Local Indians use its juice to make wine, use its fiber to weave cloth, and use its branches and leaves to build roofs.

All people long for peace, but hate war, and even more hate those who wage war in order to occupy other people's homes.

Such a person is bound to be punished, just like the cruel Metmoc, who later tried to turn over a new leaf, but was turned into tequila, which will always be used for atonement.
