"Don't worry, don't worry." Jin Chengshan said: "It's better to send Wen Si to find out the situation first, and then make plans after judging the state of affairs, and don't worry." Jin Yitian is the prince of the prince's mansion, and they don't dare to do anything to him. ”

"Brother Huang, what should we do now?"

"Inform the Northern Chen Kingdom Lord that we may have to use his way to crusade against the Xiliang Kingdom. If the people of Xiliang don't let go of the world, we will fight. Jin Chengshan said: "No wonder there is no news of Jin Yitian, it turns out that he has not yet arrived in Juguo."

Wen Si said: "It is indeed easy to destroy Xiliang, but the lord of Bei Chen is thoughtful and suspicious by nature, even if Bei Chen is good friends with Hei Guo, will he borrow our way?" Wen Sixin said that the lord of Beichen must have thought this in his heart: If the Black Kingdom destroys Xiliang, will it be easy to wipe out even my smaller country, Beichen?

"King Ji, the matter of negotiating with Bei Chen is entrusted to you, and you must convince him."

"I understand."

……

Changling,

Yin Shenglin took the letter of state of Ju and asked Liu Dehao: "Now that the contradiction between Ju and Dou is so big, he Shao is worried about sending us the letter of state."

"Etiquette, even if you don't go, he has to send it, this is the way of national funeral etiquette, no way."

"Then you said that if I go to the funeral, will it ease the conflict between the two countries?" Yin Shenglin said: "As long as I show sincerity, I think Shao Xi should have some changes."

Liu Dehao thought that Yin Shenglin was joking, and said with a smile: "After you go, they will definitely behead you first."

"Then I really have to go."

"Don't make a fuss, is this a casual trip to Ju Country? It's just a matter of playing with life, during the dispute between Chu and Han, there was a Hongmen banquet, and now Ju Guo has given us a Hongmen funeral banquet, and a fool only goes to participate. Liu Dehao said.

"Don't worry about these for now, I will discuss the specific situation with Hu Cheng later. I'm still worried about Eternal Silence. I have searched a lot of materials, and according to the Dou Imperial Navigator Handbook, I found something called Mayan Culture, and I suspect that Eternal Silence is trying to imitate their rituals. ”

Not only in the Central Plains, but also in the West, the Mayans also have the saying of "human sacrifice".

Mayan sacrifice, also known as "human sacrifice", was a religious activity in ancient times to sacrifice people to ghosts and gods. In the Mayan conception, from heaven

To hell, every plant and tree in the earthly world, every moment and every event is within the scope of God's control. They think they are the only ones they should do

It is to give the best things in the world to please the gods in exchange for God's tolerance and care for them.

In the vicinity of Chichen Itza in Yucatan, there is a mysterious holy well, about 60 meters in diameter and more than 20 meters deep, the water of the well is yellow, and the water is weeds

Tufted. It is said that the Mayans often threw living people into wells to curry favor with the gods who dwelt deep in them. Landa once wrote with disgust: "Ma

It was the custom of the Ya people to throw living people into this well. They believed that these people were not dead, even though they would never see them again.

As a sign of their piety, some threw their own children into it as sacrifices. They also threw gems and other things they thought were precious into the well. The Indians behaved extremely religiously about this, and if the country was rich in gold, then most of it was yellow

The gold was thrown into this well. "At the beginning of the 20th century, the American amateur archaeologist Edward Thompson salvaged gold, jade and the like

treasures, stone knives, spears and other weapons, and dozens of remains. It shows that the "human sacrifice" described by Randa did indeed exist.

It is said that the Maya retained the tradition of using human sacrifices until their demise, although they did not deliberately use virgin sacrifices, but mainly prisoners of war or sinners.

"The Mayans suddenly disappeared without a trace, where to study the matter of human sacrifice?" "Although I suspect that this matter has anything to do with other cultures, I also have to admit that we have no basis," Yin said.

"It's not a sudden disappearance, it's a gradual process, it's just that people didn't pay attention to it all the time." Liu Dehao said: "Our navigators in Dou have long examined these problems."

It is said that one day in the year 909 of the Maya, 80 percent of the population suddenly disappeared visibly, leaving only unbuilt monasteries. Then, from that day on, the wisdom of the ancestors also disappeared rapidly, and the remaining Mayans began to become ignorant and decadent. The remnants of the people, on the one hand, sigh "babbling and babbling", and on the other hand, grieve at the mystery of nature and the disappearance of the law enforcers.

For about 600 years, from the beginning of the 10th century to the discovery of the American continent in 1492, the inhabitants of Central America were mired in wars of ignorance, sexuality and decadence. Before the Spanish entered the Yucatan Peninsula in the 16th century, the Mayan language, which had only one language, had been divided into twenty-seven dialects.

At the Tikal site, archaeologists have found many tombs covered in rock and crumbling vaulted roofs, but have found no signs of restoration. The frescoes of nearby temples and palaces were also badly damaged, with most of the faces of stone figures being cut off and stone tablets being moved to other buildings. These phenomena confirmed that there was a foreign invasion, and the Mayans did not have time to resist before retreating. On the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya died out of epidemics and civil strife before the Spanish invasion, but there is no trace of the extinction of the jungle Maya in the ninth century.

At that time, the pottery was not suddenly abandoned and no longer made, but the original production method was abandoned and the pottery was made with a thinner and finer texture. However, the Maya also abandoned this pottery shortly after it was used, probably due to the collapse of the traditional dominant class and the disappearance of the demand for pottery.

There is a school of scholars who believe that because of the lack of food in the city, the Mayan Empire, which was built in the jungle, made a great migration of races and came to Qiqian Isa after discovering that there was no way to survive here.

"But there's no denying that the Maya did disappear."

"The imitation of the Mayan sacrifice in the city shows that the leader of the city is not an idle person, and he has an extremely deep understanding of foreign cultures." Yin Shenglin said.

"Mayan culture is not a legend, but a real existence, so the Eternal Silence City must still need boys and girls, instead of doing everything possible to find the Eternal Silence Cool City, we should have a snake out of the hole."

Yin Shenglin and Liu Dehao glanced at each other, and after confirming their eyes, Yin Shenglin sent Liu Dehao to do this.

Liu Dehao hadn't walked out of the East Palace yet, but he saw Li Runlin also entering the palace, "General Li, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Back to the prince, I have found out the conspiracy of the Black Kingdom and the Ju Kingdom."
