The boat master continued sailing south for a day and finally arrived at the North Gate of Tenochtitlan, the village of Tepayac, where ten thousand Samurai disembarked. Next, Xiulote would walk along the Long Bridge for several miles to reach the Lake Capital City.
Xiulote left the affluent village on the North Coast and came to the edge of Lake Texcoco. He stopped unconsciously, only to see a beautiful white stone Long Bridge, cutting across the boundless lake like a long rainbow alongside the dark earth embankments, linking to the magnificent stone Capital City not far away. The bridge was bustling with people like ants, occasionally parted by Priests and Nnobility wearing feather headdresses, creating temporary voids in the crowd.
