C239 The Mystery of Life

As Anna Karenina says, happy families are the same, and unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.

Even the royal family of Europe, which was extremely envious in the eyes of outsiders, had scars that could not be revealed, as well as a dark side that could not be revealed to outsiders.

The scariest part of life was not that you knew when you would die, but that you knew that you would eventually die, that you would live, and that you would live, not for yourself, not even for fun, like a fat pig being kept in a pen, fattening up and killing and eating meat.

Sophia was the daughter of the Duke of Tulip in the Netherlands, a princess unknown to the world, a girl whose existence was unknown to even some of the royals.

This was because from the moment she was born, she was like a fat pig in a pen. One day, she would definitely send her life to the guillotine. Such a cruel thing should have been completely abandoned. The face of the royal family can be preserved by hiding Sophia.

God knows what a bad influence the reputation of the royal family would have had if the world had known that the Duke of Tulip in the Netherlands had a daughter who was born to be slaughtered.

All of this was due to a single sentence from the astrologer who had taken her life into account when Sophia was born. She said, 'This child has the purest bloodline of the royal family and is the best candidate for a blood sacrifice!'

Because of her words, Sophia's fate was decided. From then on, Sophia was sent by the Dutch royal family to an ancient castle in the ancient city of Rome.

He was not allowed to attend any of the royal weddings, sacrifices, and coming of age ceremonies. She was strictly forbidden to leave the castle even half a step, even when the Duke of Tulip wanted to visit her, he was firmly rejected. This was because they were worried that if such an action was seen by someone who wanted to do something like this, they would be magnified infinitely, and the secret planned by the royal family would be exposed completely.

Sophia grew up in this kind of environment. At the age of fourteen, her impression of the outside world was like a ray of sunlight from the castle's only window.

Perhaps this wisp of light was the greatest gift that the heavens had given to Sophia. In fourteen years, this little girl had grown into her current appearance, just like the one recorded in the fairy tales for princesses.

On her fourteenth birthday, the bodyguard and chef who had accompanied her since her birth in the castle heard the private conversations of the astrologers who had visited Sophia. Finally, she couldn't bear to be tortured by her conscience. She didn't have the heart to let this fourteen-year-old girl hurriedly end her blooming age and brought her away from the castle.

"You all will know what happens next!" Sophia jumped down from Lin Bai's arms, touching the raindrops that were falling from the sky. She laughed softly and said, "When I was in the castle, I was accompanied by the sunlight. I thought I could see more sunlight from inside, but I didn't expect to see the sad rain first!"

Shen Xiaoyi's expression was filled with incomparable pain, as if she was suffering from Sophia's pain as well. Even the thick-skinned Shang Zhuo Cai who was extremely optimistic had a dejected look on his face. The human heart was built upon the flesh, and when it came to suffering, seeing it with one's own eyes was far more profound than one could imagine.

In the minds of the common people, princesses were like food and clothing on a treasured horse carriage, traveling the world with a great reputation. No matter which country they went to, they would be treated with the highest form of courtesy. Moreover, all the girls in the world had no dreams of being a princess. But what about Sophia?

She should have had such a life. From her appearance, it could even be said that she was a pearl on the crown of the Dutch royalty.

But just because of a single sentence, she lost everything. When she came to this world, no one knew. Even if she left, it would also be impossible for others to know about her.

Shen Xiaoyi began to rejoice that she was living in an ordinary family. She was able to live an ordinary life, enjoy the care her parents brought her, enjoy the gifts from nature, enjoy the warmth between friends, and enjoy the beauty brought by love.

"Don't worry, little girl. Big sister will definitely protect you." If someone dares to steal you from us, I'll beat them up for you! " Shen Xiaoyi wiped the corner of her eyes, waved her little fist and said in indignation.

Shang Zhuo was also furious at Qian Yun, and said boldly: "Don't worry, they won't let you be a princess. With us, you will definitely be treated like a princess. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll definitely satisfy you! "

Sophia smiled and pulled up her dress. She tiptoed and gave Shang Zhuo and Shen Xiaoyi a standard European royal etiquette.

"What blood sacrifice are they talking about?" Lin Bai frowned and asked in a soft voice while staring at Sophia.

"Hmm?" Sophia looked confused. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "I just heard them talking about this and they are very secretive. I don't understand either!"

"Then, do you know what else they said when they mentioned the Blood Sacrifice? When they talked about blood sacrifices, did they say anything else you didn't understand? "For example, any kind of phase technique or secret technique." Lin Bai reminded her as he began to wonder what was going on.

Sophia shook her head and said softly, "No …" That's not right, they also said something else. It seems like some European magical equipment is no longer available! "

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's heart trembled. This matter really did have a great deal to do with the theft of Yang Pingzhi. However, the Yang Pingzhi Seal was a magical treasure of China, so what could these Europeans do with it?!

And why did they want to sacrifice Sophia's blood?! Most Europeans believe in Christianity, in which the sacrifice of Christ, the blood sacrifice of the cross, and the sacrifice of the thanksgiving offering, are unique sacrifices, because the altar, the offerings, the priests are all the same, only in different ways, that is, the sacrifice of the thanksgiving offering, in which Christ appears in a bloodless way in the sacrament of gratitude.

Even in the history of China, there were very few cases of people being sacrificed with blood. Hua Xia also called the blood sacrifice "the Great Crimson Sacrifice", which referred to the killing of living people as the sacrifice of gods.

However, according to the information in the 'Innate Luoshen Book' in Lin Bai's mind, this kind of red offering that could kill the living was still rare. The vast majority of the sacrifices were made by cattle or sheep, and even the sacrifice by macaques was minimal. Even taking the variant form of blood sacrifice — martyrdom as an example, only bones such as cattle and horses have been found in the archaeological excavation of the Tibetan area, but no human and macaque martyrs have been found.

Of course, the possibility of human martyrdom must not be denied, as recorded in the history books of Hanha-Tsang-Tzu, in which the examples of human martyrdom during the period of Zamp were inscribed on the stone of Gumbo.

However, modern civilization has been developing day by day. From the view of modern people, blood sacrifice is very barbaric and backward. Therefore, most of the people in the world stopped the tradition of blood sacrifice and used other methods of sacrifice.

Sophia is a princess of the European royal family, and the European royal family has been around for a long time, and has been trained by the aristocracy to read all those books into the stomach of a dog!" How could he do such a bloody thing?

There must be something strange going on. With so many suspicions appearing now, the scheme of this game of chess in Europe must be huge!

"Lin Bai, what about Sofia?" Shen Xiaoyi asked softly, afraid that Lin Bai would turn back into his previous stone-hearted appearance and reject this cute girl, "I'm telling you, if you don't protect her, then I'll protect her. If there's anyone who wants to cause trouble for her, then I'll protect her with my life!"

"Nonsense!" What unlucky words are you saying! " After Lin Bai reprimanded her, he turned to Sophia and whispered, "Think about it again. Ever since you can remember, nothing strange has happened to you. Have you heard of people who are similar to you?"

The moment Lin Bai finished speaking, Sophia's expression darkened. Seeing this little girl's appearance, Lin Bai knew that he had said the wrong thing. This little girl had been imprisoned in the ancient castle since she was born, how could she possibly meet any outsiders.

"Xiaoyi, take Sophia back to the hotel first. I'll take a walk around the animal fighting ring. If anyone comes looking for her, I can ask them why they are forcing a little girl like that!" "Lin Bai's greatest fear was for women to shed tears. Even if it was a fourteen year old girl, she would not be able to take it. He hurriedly told Shen Xiaoyi.

Shen Xiaoyi was about to say something when she saw Lin Bai walking into the Colosseum without looking back. After a few turns, there was not a single person to be seen!

"If you say you're leaving, you can leave. You don't even know how to show mercy to the fairer sex!" Shen Xiaoyi frowned as she looked at the spot where Lin Bai had disappeared.

After looking around with her pure blue eyes, Sophia raised her head and stared at Shen Xiaoyi's face as she asked in a soft voice, "Elder sister, do you like her?"

"What are you talking about?!" Shen Xiaoyi blushed as she squatted down and whispered to Sophia.

"You Chinese people are really strange. If you like her, then you like her. What's there to hide from you?" Sophia wrinkled her little nose and put on the air of an old man, saying softly, "When I grow up a little bit more, I will definitely get him!"

Shen Xiaoyi was surprised for a moment when she heard this. She immediately covered her stomach and laughed. This little girl was simply too adorable! At the side, Shang Zhuo Cai was also inexplicably emotional.

His master was indeed his master. Not only did he make such a beautiful young girl like Shen Xiaoyi secretly approve, even the inexperienced little princess had spoken such bold and bold words after meeting him.
