A través de la interpretación del códice Ramírez se da a conocer esta leyenda, en un momento en que el peregrinaje mexica estaba a punto de concluir.
Se dice que una hechicera que dejaron separada del grupo mexica tenía un hijo llamado Copil de edad madura; ésta le contó a su hijo sobre el agravio que el dios Huitzilopochtli le había hecho, apenado y con enojo Copil promete vengar a su madre.
Copil tiene noticia de que el ejército mexica estaba en el cerro de Chapultepec, entonces corrió el rumor por entre todas las naciones que ya estaban asentadas, de que destruyeran y mataran a la generación de mexicas, por ser supuestos hombres perniciosos, belicosos, tiranos de malas y perversas costumbres que conocía muy bien él.
Ante estos rumores, lo pobladores empezaron a temerles a los mexicas y determinaron matarlos y destruirlos a todos.
Para ésto, Copil de forma premeditada, se sube a un cerro que esta junto a la laguna de México en donde están las fuentes de agua caliente [y que en épocas de los españoles se llamara el PEÑOL] planeando su venganza y pretensión; el dios Huitzilopochtli, muy enojado llamó a sus sacerdotes y ordenó que fueran al Peñol en donde hallarían al traidor de Copil, que lo mataran y llevaran su corazón; cuando éste fue presentando ante Huitzilopochtli, mandó que entrara uno de los "ayos" por la laguna y lo arrojara en medio de un cañaveral que allí estaba.
Se cree que del corazón que se arrojó nació el tunal donde despúes se construyó la Ciudad de México, así como que en el lugar en donde murió Copil en el peñol, brotaron fuentes de agua caliente que llaman Acopilco que quiere decir Lugar de las aguas de Copil.
La muerte de Copil, provocó una sangrienta batalla...
