Chapter 353: The Sacrifice of the Moon
Luo Hongtao felt a little embarrassed after he saw a not very harmonious conversation between his son and Xu Ran and walked away.
Obviously, he felt that his son was too deeply poisoned by Western ideological education, and in this treatment of people, compared with Xu Ran's mellow and mature performance, he was very immature.
He was a little worried that Luo Zhongyuan would be arrogant to start a business without having experienced much exercise, and in the social environment of China, which pays attention to connections, this son may be full of bags.
In fact, the reason why he had no choice but to agree to the invitation of the Huo family this time was mainly because the Huo family gave a very generous reward, and he also needed a starting capital for his son's business, otherwise he would not have agreed to the invitation of a private archaeological project, after all, doing this kind of thing is risky.
In fact, Luo Hongtao still admires Xu Ran, a young junior, very much, and also wants to get to know his son with a line, so that young people can communicate more and make friends in more ways, which can also play a role in helping.
It's just that I didn't expect this son to just casually deal with people coldly and walk away, which made the Luo Hong gang very helpless.
Just as he was about to ease his son, Huo Sifar came over and called Xu Ran to a separate room.
This room is very suitable for private conversations, the environment is very quiet, you can see the people outside through the glass, but you can't hear any sound, the sound insulation is very good.
A Filipino maid woman walked in, put a plate of melon and fruit snacks, as well as high-end drinks, wine, and a pot of tea on the table, and then automatically retreated.
Xu Ran opened a drink and drank a few sips, feeling that it was delicious without ice, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Huo Sifar said: "Xu Ran, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Ran didn't give a reply, but said, "Professor Luo's son will also participate in your archaeological operations?"
Huo Sifar didn't understand why Xu Ran would ask an irrelevant question, and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Luo has a good level in radio and electronic communication, and he will be in charge of this part of the archaeological team!"
Xu Ran said again: "When will you start acting?"
Huo Sifar glared at Xu Ran with some disgust: "But you haven't agreed to my request for cooperation?"
"I heard that you paid Professor Luo's father and son a very high salary, so what kind of reward would you give me?"
"Professor Luo's father and son are paid a total of one million dollars, and as for you, if you want, I can pay two million dollars, what do you think?"
"Hehe, you're really generous, this reward is really exciting!"
Huo Si Far's beautiful eyes blinked, and he looked at Xu Ran expectantly: "Then do you promise to cooperate?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "I have to think about this first, but I don't know if there is a requirement for the Xixia Silk Book?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, that silk book involves the secret of the hiding place of the True Ding Tianshu, it is also a treasure map, it means a lot to us, if you want to transfer, I am willing to buy it back for five million dollars!"
Xu Ran inadvertently glanced at Huo Sifar's big beautiful legs: "Then what about other aspects, since you rejected the children of the Zhao family and want to cooperate with my intelligence, there should be other conditions, that is, it is inconvenient for you to tell me before?"
"Nope!"
Being very uncomfortable at this glance, Huo Sifar twisted his little buttocks, looking at it left and right, this moment is even more delicate and sultry.
The more she didn't say it, but she was so shy and twisted, did this make Xu Ran suspicious?
Xu Ran simply cooperated with suspicion, and said: "Since you have done a very detailed investigation on me, then now I don't care about the unpleasantness that happened before, forgive and give you a chance, if you can't be honest with me, then I think about cooperation, let's talk about it another day!"
Huo Sifar was rectified by Xu Ran once, and she really saw this man's methods, and even made her reluctant to dedicate herself to Yi Qingling and was played a lily game, she really didn't want to have a bad relationship with Xu Ran again.
Therefore, Huo Sifar bit his lip, his eyes were full of color, and he said, "Have you ever heard of such an ancient ritual as the 'Sacrifice of the Moon'?"
"The Sacrifice of the Moon?"
Hearing this word, Xu Ran looked strange.
"Yes!"
Seeing that Xu Ran seemed to know, Huo Sifar couldn't help but blush even more at the moment, like a ripe peach.
Of course Xu Ran knew something, but when he once asked Song Wenli for an ancient sacrifice item, Song Wenli once talked about some ancient sacrifice rituals.
In particular, the sacrifice of the moon mentioned by Huo Si Far, which is an extremely ignorant and backward ancient priestly ritual, mostly originated from some primitive tribes who advocate the true Ding culture and worship the true god of the moon, also known as the matrilineal society of the true yin and moon department, and the tribe of the patrilineal society of the true yang and sun department.
The sacrifice of the moon of the true yin moon department is to sacrifice to the god of the moon, the ancient sacrifice ceremony of welcoming the gods, it is undoubtedly a very obscene and primitive sacrificial ceremony, it is to capture nine men of the true yang sun as slaves, so that they can be crazy twisted with the women of the moon department until they die, so as to send the collected true yang essence to the sacrificial pool, and then the moon girl selected by the true yin moon department enters the sacrificial pool for sacrifice, and the strongest true yang of the tribe father bears the sacrificial seed to go to the altar of the true ding to welcome the gods, if there is a divine light to descend, the moon girl will be possible to become the true moon priest in the sacrifice process, accept the inheritance, through continuous learning and training, and finally become a worshipper by all tribes, a true master who enjoys supreme rights.
Xu Ran thought about this ancient backward and ignorant ancient sacrificial ritual, glanced at Huo Si Faer again, and said, "Then why do you mention this Siyue Sacrifice, could it be that this extremely ignorant and backward ancient sacrificial ritual without the slightest scientific and technological content still exists in your family today?"
Huo Sifar was shy and unbearable at the moment, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, and said coquettishly: "There are detailed records of this ancient ritual in the family's treasured festival materials, but after the verification of science and technology, there is actually a scientific and technological content, and it is related to a kind of biotechnology, but the success rate is not high!"
Xu Ran couldn't help but wonder when she heard her explain: "Then why are you telling me this, could it be that you are the chosen moon girl, and then you want to ...... with me?"
"Oh, what are you thinking......"
Huo Sifar's face was so red that he could almost get out of the water at this moment, and quickly interrupted Xu Ran's conjecture, and said hurriedly: "I asked you to mean that if you know this ancient sacrifice ceremony, then you should probably know the ...... of the sacrifice pool."
Xu Ran said casually: "Isn't that a ...... mixed with countless proteins?"
"Xu Ran!"
Without waiting for Xu Ran to finish speaking, Huo Sifar interrupted him with a little shame and anger, his face was pale, his eyes were full of fire, and he couldn't wait to come up and kick him twice, and said angrily: "Do you know that it is very impolite and ungraceful to interrupt others and take quotes out of context?"
Xu Ran saw that this woman was also a little imposing, and couldn't help but sneer: "Then you continue?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it first, in short, you have to agree to cooperate, then talk about it in detail, if you don't agree to cooperate, then there is no need to continue!"
Yo, do you want to take the Lao Tzu Army in turn?
Xu Ran glanced at this beautiful girl, and didn't answer her words, so he drank the tea in the cup, got up and said: "Let me think about this matter, in short, I will give you an answer after the Spring Festival!"
After that, he ignored her and walked out of the door, leaving Huo Sifar to look at his back and stomp his feet angrily.
