"Speaking of which, I'm working for your dad right now." At the dinner table, Liu Juexia said with a smile.

"In my current project, part of the research funding is sponsored by science and technology when I make change."

The institute is a place where seniority is arranged, and he has been back for too short a time, although he has the ability but no qualifications, and he can hardly apply for much scientific research funding.

Therefore, most of his funds are pulled from the outside world by using his own connections, and a big boss like Li Wenguang is naturally impossible to let go.

"What project is Uncle Liu working on now?"

Li Mian became interested.

He remembered that Liu Qin had said that her father was a scholar specializing in the study of the Timo era, and the research project must also be related to the Dimo era.

"What I'm currently studying is the sacrificial script, not that kind of stylistic form, but the special script used in the ritual."

Liu Juexia also learned from her daughter that Li Mian was very interested in the Emperor Mo era, so it was not surprising to see that Li Mian was interested in his own research.

"There is also a special text for the sacrifice?"

Li Mian was slightly stunned.

"That's right, it's only been discovered in recent years." Speaking of his own field, Liu Juexia was interested, "You also know that the era of Dimo is very special, in that era, not only our Dongluo Xingzhou ......"

While he was gushing.

"Stop, stop." Liu Qin's mother interrupted him helplessly.

"Li Mourning, this child is the first time to come to our house for dinner, you can't stop talking about it, are the children eating or listening to you? Besides, the food will be cold. ”

was so counted by his wife, Liu Juexia consciously closed her mouth.

"Come, Li Mourning, eat this brisket." Liu Qin's mother gave Li Mourning vegetables, "Auntie just bought it back in the morning, it's very fresh." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Although Li Mian could only listen attentively, he couldn't say anything, so he could only eat the food in the bowl.

When he looked up, he saw Liu Qin snickering at him.

Liu Qin's mother made a very hearty dinner today, and the taste was very good, obviously a lot of thought was put into it.

She was even more enthusiastic at the dinner table, constantly giving Li Mourning all kinds of dishes, looking at Li Mourning's eyes was like a mother-in-law seeing her future son-in-law.

If it weren't for Li Mourning's amazing appetite, I am afraid that a person would have broken his stomach if he was treated like this.

It wasn't until he left the table at the end of dinner that Li Mian was relieved from Liu Qin's mother's enthusiasm and came to the study with Liu Juexia.

Then I saw the remnants of Liu Juexia's collection.

"It's ...... Candle? ”

Li Mian couldn't help but be taken aback.

The remnants that Liu Juexia took out were a white candle about the thickness of a water pipe, and underneath the candle was a bronze candlestick with a simple style.

Moreover, the candle has already been used, and only half of it remains, and a large amount of wax oil condensed into the junction with the candlestick is attached.

"That's right, it's a candle." Liu Juexia nodded, "From the time of Dimo 1,200 years ago, to today's candles. ”

"But how can a candle last so long?"

Li Mian still felt incredible.

Candles are easily affected by temperature and humidity, and if you don't care about preservation, it is easy to lose oil.

But for more than a thousand years, even the best preserved candles will be eroded.

"I was amazed when I first got this legacy, and after a long time, I realized that the texture of this candle is very special, not only is it extremely strong, but the environment has very little influence on it."

Liu Juexia said.

He once accidentally threw the candlestick down the stairs, and his heart was cold at the time, but when he went down, he found that both the candlesticks and the candles were intact, and the solid wood staircase was knocked out with many scratches.

"You can give it a try and see if it's very strong."

Liu Juexia handed over the candlestick.

Li Mian stretched out his hand to take the candlestick, and as soon as he touched the candlestick, a cold aura surged into his body from his fingertips.

Sure enough, it was a genuine remnant.

"It's really hard." Li Mian tried to pinch it, and found that the candle was indeed very strong, and it was like a stone in his hand.

If it was an ordinary candle, he had already pinched off a small piece of it.

Of course, he didn't dare to use all his strength, otherwise not to mention this candle, even the candlestick below might not be able to stand it.

"And this is not an ordinary candle, I studied it for a long time after I got it, and I am basically sure that this is a sacrificial vessel."

Liu Juexia saw that Li Mourning was playing "can't put it down", and he was not in a hurry to come back, anyway, this relic was very strong, and he didn't have to worry about damage.

"Sacrificial vessels?" Li Mourning withdrew his gaze from the remnants, "This is the candle used in the sacrifice?" ”

"That's right." Liu Juexia nodded, "You are so interested in the Emperor Mo era, you should know that the Emperor Mo Dynasty attaches great importance to sacrifices, right?" ”

"Yes, I do." Li Mian nodded.

He also learned from the book recommended by Liu Qin that the Emperor Dynasty valued sacrifices more than any other dynasty.

Not only do you have to sacrifice every important festival, but even the king and the prince need this link, which is even more important than the emperor's edict.

Only the emperor's edict, without the link of sacrifice, is a virtual king and a false wait, and the sacrifice can really be regarded as a real king and a real wait.

"But you definitely don't know that the Emperor Mo Dynasty has always used blood sacrifices."

Liu Juexia said.

“…… Blood sacrifices? ”

Li Mourning's attention was completely removed from the candlestick, and he wondered: "Isn't it said that the sacrificial method of using living animals as sacrifices has been eliminated since two thousand years ago, and even the emperor's burial has been changed to terracotta figurines, how can the Emperor Mo Dynasty still use blood sacrifices?" ”

"This is indeed what plagues scholars now, when the Emperor Mo Dynasty was at its strongest, it ruled the entire Dongluo Xingzhou, both politically and culturally developed to the peak, it stands to reason that there should be no use of blood sacrifice that kind of barbaric and primitive sacrifice method, but this is the case."

Liu Juexia also said with a look of agreement.

The excavated ruins, as well as the study of some of the remains, clearly tell them that blood sacrifices were a regular occurrence during the Timo Dynasty at that time.

The most important thing is that as sacrifices, livestock and other living creatures do not enter the stream at all, and are only used in some unimportant sacrifices, and the sacrifices used in sacrifices such as the worship of the king and the prime minister are all people.

And the number is terrifying.

After knowing more details, the image of the Emperor Mo Dynasty in Li Mian's heart, in addition to being mysterious and powerful, has two more labels.

That's blood and cruelty!

Li Mian couldn't help but think of what happened to Tian Yang and them in the sanatorium, that is, they were suspected of being used as sacrifices by those yin corpses for some kind of special sacrifice.

His heart suddenly moved.

If you think about it carefully, isn't that the blood sacrifice of the Emperor of the Emperor Dynasty?
