"His Royal Highness the Prince, we have people in the Dou Kingdom who are hidden in the Black Country. According to their reliable information, the two countries of Hei and Ju are about to form an alliance in an attempt to attack the Dou State. ”

Liu Dehao said: "Sure enough, Wang Fugui guessed right, His Royal Highness the Prince, I think it is better for me to go to the national mourning of the Ju Kingdom, you go to negotiate an alliance with the King of Xiliang, and we will have a chance to deal with the Heiju Alliance."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me go to Ju Country?" Yin Shenglin said: "I know it's a Hongmen banquet, why do I want to go?"

"I must find a way to destroy the alliance between the Black Country and the Ju Kingdom, and you must negotiate with Xiliang, and you have prepared for future troubles."

Li Runlin said: "Jin Chengshan, the head of the Black Kingdom, will personally attend the state funeral of the Ju Kingdom."

"Then we will also reply to Ju Guo, and I, Liu Dehao, will also go to the funeral." Liu Dehao said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the situation is different, and I can't watch the Black Kingdom and the Ju Kingdom unite. Ju is rich in resources and developed commerce, and Black has a large population and vast territory, and once the two countries are united, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Then you can't take such a big risk!" Yin Shenglin said: "If you want to go, I will go, you and Xiliang will talk about cooperation."

"My Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you know anything about this king? I'm not one or two, so I have to make do with it, right? Rest assured, since you are going, there must be a way out. ”

At this time, Wang Fugui also came to the East Palace: "Something happened, something happened, do you remember when I entered the Xiliang patrol room?"

"How could I remember, I didn't go." Yin Shenglin said.

"At that time, I didn't expect to be received by King Xiliang, so I discussed escaping from prison with a fellow inmate, and now it's okay, that person successfully escaped from prison using the method I said!"

"You mean...... You let go of Xiliang's prisoners in disguise? ”

"So to speak, but King Xiliang, they won't know that I taught them the method." Wang Fugui said.

"So what are you worried about?"

"This group of prisoners not only ran away by themselves, but also kidnapped Jin Yitian!" Wang Fugui said: "The king of Xiliang has just sent someone to send news, and they are interested in uniting with us. Because they have already offended the Black Country, they have no choice but to ally with us. ”

Yin Shenglin said: "Now things have become complicated again, and it is Ju and Xiliang. In this way, I won't stop the thief king from going to Juguo, but now the problem is coming again, I have to put down the matter of Eternal Liangcheng first, arrange the schedule for the prince and the king of Xiliang, I want to go to Lingcheng to see him. ”

……

The black king Jin Chengshan also heard the news that Jin Yitian was robbed, and he was shocked.

"Lord, we're in big trouble this time." King Wenjun said, "It is said that it was a group of bandits who robbed the prince! ”

"Let Wen Si speed up, the prince is a child who is the eldest child of the emperor, if something happens, how can I be worthy of the emperor and the queen mother."

"What about going to Ju Country?"

"Of course, it can't be delayed. No matter what, to save the son of the world, this is the most important thing. The Black King said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Wait, King Wenjun, I'll ask you about something. Have you heard of an organization called Eternal Silence lately? ”

King Wenjun shook his head: "I've been busy with diplomatic matters recently, and I don't know what Eternal Cool City is."

"Then do we still have the idea of human sacrifice in the Black Country?"

"It's been a long time since then."

"I've heard that this Eternal Silence is related to human sacrifice. Forget it, wait until the affairs of the prince and Ju Guo are dealt with, and then check this matter. ”

"Yes!" Although King Wenjun dealt with it, after returning to the mansion, he still went to check the historical materials about the sacrifice of living people.

In ancient times, the strong sacrificial culture was really prevalent, and the emperors of the previous dynasties also attached great importance to the sacrificial culture, after all, that kind of environment created such a culture. Of course, this sacrificial culture has been passed down to this day. Ancient people believed that the gods were not a matter of one or two days, so people prayed for the blessings of the gods through the activities of worshipping the gods. Whenever the gods are worshipped, people take out valuables as tribute, and in some places even use human lives as tributes to show their piety.

The ritual usually takes place late at night, in front of a strange bronze statue of Baal, with a large pile of burning firewood. 500 children were sacrificed to the god Baal, and one by one, the throats of those who may have had their throats cut beforehand were placed in the outstretched hands of the idol, and then they fell into the fire and burned into charred coals.

During the festival, the drum music was noisy and lively. The masked dancers preside over the ceremony along with the powerful priests, and the parents who sacrifice their children as tribute must stand by and watch without shedding a single tear, for the sacrifice of their children to God is a privilege not for ordinary parents, but only for the noblest families. This is a scene that took place in the ancient North African city of Carthage. c. 310 B.C.E. Agdocles, the tyrant of the ancient kingdom of Sicily, was forced to flee to Carthage for refuge due to conflicts with neighboring city-states, and witnessed the atrocities committed by the inhabitants of Carthage in the name of religion. Theodorus, a Greek historian in the 1st century BCE, wrote an account based on the sightings of Agadocles, which is chilling to read.

About 200 years before Carthage was destroyed by the Romans, the burning of virgins was a regular ritual. The Phoenicians are the ancestors of the Carthaginians, and it is said that before they founded Carthage, they had a unique ritual of praying for a good harvest, hoping for blessings, abundant crops, and the health of their descendants. The Carthaginian aristocracy often used the children of slaves to die for their own children. Later, Carthage was defeated in a series of wars with Rome, and the Carthaginian authorities believed that it was deception that angered the god Baal. Therefore, Theodorus claimed that the sacrifice that Agadogles had seen was the result of a Carthaginian nobleman who prayed to the god Baal for the wrath of his own children with the charred corpses of his own children in order to atone for their sins.

It was a low altar, sloping downwards on both sides, shaped like a roof, on which the sacrificed man was placed, his limbs tied, so that he could not resist or flee when he was in pain. The fire was then lit and the sacrifice was burned with a red-hot iron, forcing the sacrifice to roll up and down in agony on the slopes on either side of the altar, and this painful struggle was thought to last as long as possible. The next day, the flesh of the sacrificial corpse was cut off piece by piece. This is a scene that took place in an ancient South Asian tribe. The Khonde people, a branch of the Dravidian tea tribe, also have a special name - "Melia". "Meria" is generally bought. Sometimes, however, the Condes also sold their own children to sacrifice themselves. Because human sacrifice was regarded as a sacred object to the gods, it was revered and treated with kindness during his lifetime, and everyone welcomed it wherever he went. When people become adults, they often have another "Meria" as their spouse, and their children will also become "Meliah".

King Wenjun shook his head: "This cruel way has actually appeared again, what is the origin of this Eternal Silent Cool City?"
