Seleucus glanced lightly at the Nine Daughters of Mer and said lightly, "Okay, stay safe." ”

Turning around and walking towards the army, he knew that there were many suspicious things about the female ritual, and there were some things that he wanted to persuade this woman who looked big but was full of worries, but in the end he swallowed back what he wanted to say, knowing that persuasion was useless.

Ren Ji looked at Seleucus in the distance, and whispered in his heart: Zhedan, you are so indifferent in this life, the East Pole Wind God, the most important thing is warmth, and the Yang Soul in this life has actually thrown away the temperature of the East Pole Prince.

My dear friend of the First Yuan, wait for Jiu'er to bring you back to the Divine Domain, and then renew your friendship.

Ren Yan tilted her head to one side, looked at Xuan Ye who was happy and frolicking in the distance with deep meaning, and did not go over to make any explanations to him, this simple "younger brother", if he told him, he would definitely take his hand and follow him all the way.

Ren Jian walked with her back to the army, chanting a talisman in her mouth, and several talismans flew towards Seleucus.

Stretch out your hand to activate your spiritual power, and conjure up Suzaku to send it to Alexander's side.

Although it is very surprising that the goddess of revenge has disappeared in recent days, but Babylon's trip will last for six or seven months, Ren Juan deduced from Mary's words, during the period when she did not return, Ren Juan hoped that Shaodian and Zhedan would not be harmed in any way, and the goddess of revenge was not mortal, and if they hurt the two, their yang souls would be damaged.

Jiu'er will never allow anyone to hurt her Chu Yuan best friend again, if anyone dares to recklessly injure Seleucus and Alexander's yang soul half a point, Jiu'er will definitely shatter his soul when he returns, just like the big battle on the shore of the weak water, the heavenly cabinet and nine cars will not be able to live in the eternal underworld under the double blow of thousands of curses and thousands of swords, and Jiutian Ren Xi personally created the underworld that does not see the light of day for him, and it is also "worthy" of her former Jiufeng sister.

Ren Yan glanced back at Alexander's barracks, summoned Mary, and said softly, "It's okay, let's go." ”

On this long trip, Mary decided to go with Ren Juan, and Queen Ren Juan knew that this time the task must be difficult, otherwise Mary would not have gone together.

With a familiar spin, the wind in her ears sounded again, and Ren Jian entered the next time and space in a groggy manner.

----------------------------------------------

When she opened her eyes again, Ren Juan sat in the domain of a temple, and the men in full-length robes kept dangling in front of them, the men all had long hair wrapped in turbans, and the body exuded a faint smell of perfume, and the young ones were holding a cane, and the top of the crutches was carved with apples, roses, lions, and eagles, which was the standard configuration of ancient Babylonian men, equivalent to the ancient Chinese sons who held a folding fan, representing the demeanor and identity of men.

The man's eyes were somewhat "obscene", as if he had some kind of uncertain bad thoughts, his eyes were full of color and sparkling, and he wandered repeatedly in the passage made of thick ropes, staring at the girls in the domain, as if he was making some choice in his heart.

Ren Juan avoided the eyes of the men, looked around, the walls and dome of the domain were carved with various patterns in gold, and there was a three-dimensional statue of Ren Juan opposite, the goddess of the goddess was stepping on two lions, holding ears of wheat, and there were two owls standing next to him - Ishtar, the goddess of sex appeal and harvest.

It seems that this temple must have been the temple of Ishtar, and the event at hand should have been a large gathering of ancient Babylonian women for the priesthood.

There was a long tradition in ancient Babylon that every adult Babylonian woman would go to the Sanctuary of Ishtar before marriage to have sex with a strange man in the temple, so that the woman could marry and have children, and all women had to do so, even royal and noble.

During the ceremony, the women sit in their chosen position and cannot leave until a man chooses to take the woman to a courtyard outside the temple to complete the "God-given task" before the woman can return home. No matter how much the strange man paid, he never got her again.

Men have the absolute right to choose, as long as the man takes a fancy to which woman, in front of him to throw a silver coin, it does not matter how big the silver coin is, the selected woman must go with the man, the women can not refuse, the law does not allow.

Of course, it depends on the appearance of any era, and those women with ugly faces are not very easy to be selected by men and complete the priesthood, and some have waited for three or four years in the divine domain to be selected.

Ren Yan looked at the squinting men in front of her, her heart trembled, if she was really selected, it would not be easy to do, in public, she could not easily use force with the people here, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

But what if you are chosen, the scary thing is that the men here look like everything, and you can't ** it. Ren Jian hurriedly lowered her head and covered her face with her sleeves, not letting them see her beautiful face.

"Take your hand away, and I'll see what you look like?" A man said in a rough voice as he forcibly pulled Ren Yan's hand off.

A small, dark-eyed man with a pointed beard, who really didn't look much.

Ren Yan hurriedly raised her mouth and made an ugly grimace, startling the man, taking two steps back, and scolding, "What the hell, so ugly, no one chooses you for a lifetime in the Divine Domain." ”

The man was so angry that he was something.

Ren Jian lowered her head and sighed softly, thanks to her cleverness, otherwise her flower would not just be inserted into cow dung but piled up with pestle and dog shit.

Ren Jian survived the whole day with a grimace, and her face was a little tingling from overexercise.

Several women around him were selected and taken away one after another.

Ren Yan glanced at it, and there were only three "unusual" looking women left to accompany her.

In the evening, a woman who looked like a priestess walked in and said gently, "Girls, don't be discouraged, you didn't choose today, but tomorrow you have a chance." ”

The women got up from the ground and sat all day, their legs and feet were numb, and they were about to explode if they didn't untie their little hands for a day.

A very obese girl in her twenties suddenly stood up and said to Ren Juan roughly, "Don't you untie your little hands?" Let's go together. Ren Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

This kind of thing to go to the toilet to find a companion has been popular in ancient Babylon, of course, this habit has only been passed down among women for thousands of years, and men will never know why the girls around them will call their companions every time they go to the toilet.

The other two rough-looking girls also followed behind Ren Jian and the fat girl, and the four of them followed the priestess's guidance and found a well-decorated "toilet" outside the courtyard, and the four of them squatted in the pit and looked at each other.

Seeing that Ren Yan's face was gloomy, the fat girl comforted, "Sister, seeing that you are not very old, it doesn't matter if you can't be selected this year, don't worry." Alas, I'm miserable, this is the third year, and if I can't choose again, don't want to get married in this life? The fat woman bowed her head in frustration.

Ren Juan comforted, "It's okay, it's not a big deal if you don't choose to marry for the rest of your life, it's nothing great." ”

"Let's just say that you are young and don't know how to worry? If we don't marry for the rest of our lives, our parents will have to abandon us. Another thin girl said, in fact, the girl was not ugly, but there were more spots on her face.

"The appearance of the four of us is almost one grade, it depends on the luck of each of us tomorrow, we must dress up well tomorrow morning. Come on! The fat girl lifted her clothes and made a cheering motion.

Ren Juan grinned, this sister is confident enough, she even said that she and her appearance are at the same level, and she is obviously a beauty!

Four girls who were left out in the cold were placed in the same room by the priestess of the temple.

Unlike the ancient Babylonian temple, the temple was a place of community worship. As a typical temple in Mesopotamia, the interior is extremely luxurious, it is the home of the gods, and it is a miniature version of the social group, with all kinds of institutions and facilities.

And the highest positions in this group were the high priests and the shangu, who specialized in managing the various business activities of the temple.

After talking with several girls, Ren Juan knew that this was June 539 BC, when Babylon was not as powerful as Nebuchadnezzar II, and the old king died less than five years ago, and Babylon had changed three kings, which shows that the situation is very unstable.

The current king is Nabonidus from the tribe of Aramea, who was so stable that he even left Babylon and stayed in Arabia for 10 years in order to find a new trade route for Babylon.

But there are two things about Nabonidus that have caused discontent among a considerable number of people in the ruling class.

One thing was that Nabonidus no longer worshipped the original Babylonian god Marduk, but believed in the moon god (Sin), and this moon god was not the original Babylonian moon god, but an Alameaan moon god, which caused the displeasure of the Babylonian priesthood. The second thing was that he left Babylon for a long time and handed over the government to his son Belshazzar, which was not understood by the ruling class.

Coupled with the growing power of Persia, Egypt, which had coveted Babylon for a long time, and the tens of thousands of Jews who had been taken captive from Jerusalem during the old kings, Babylon has now become a dangerous building swaying in the wind and rain, and there is always a danger of toppling.

It was June 539 B.C., and in three or four months Babylon was defeated by Cyrus, the great king of Persia, the ancestor of Darius I, and the kingdom was destroyed.

It seems that it is a troubled time again, the baby that Ren Yan is looking for must not have been born yet, and he has to hurry up to find the pregnant woman who is pregnant with the baby and protect it.

Ren Jian doesn't care about breaking the curse, a originator of the mystic law, breaking a small curse is as simple as blowing up a balloon, the important thing is to find the pregnant woman first, what kind of pregnant woman is it, there is no clue at all, this is a tricky problem.

Now he is stumped by the sacrifice of the temple, and there is no way to get out.

The priest takes care of himself like a prisoner, and can only use tactics against them, and cannot use force, the temple of a thousand years ago, but it is full of aura, and it is not easy to alarm the great god.

Stay up until the next day and find another opportunity, thinking of this, Ren Jian covered the quilt and decided to sleep well, the fat girl was already asleep, snoring loudly, Ren Juan couldn't help but smile, is her heart still very big.
