Chapter 715: The Underground Exchange of the Temple Fugitive
Since Yin'er had already killed Lady Sasha once, with the old woman's scheming, how could she be defenseless, and hurriedly went to the window to look, and as expected, several columns of warriors surrounded the palace together.
"It's too late!" Shen Feng casually took a piece of cloth to cover his face, and hurriedly said, "They are waiting for you to come, this is a trap." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a movement, I didn't have time to think about it, and pulled Yin'er, who was still stunned, to go around the palace, Mrs. Sasha knew that Yin'er would come, and she would definitely set up an ambush in the room, and hurriedly said: "Yin'er, there must be many people outside now, and if you hide again, you will be found sooner or later, so it's better to go and bring in Mrs. Sasha, you are hiding here and taking the opportunity to hold her hostage, so that we can escape." β
Qin Yin looked worried and said, "Childe, be careful." "This is not the time for hypocrisy.
"Wait, I'm a little scared, can Yin'er give me some encouragement for the reunion" Shen Feng took a few steps, and suddenly turned around to hug her, carefully felt the softness and fragrance on her body, and whispered in her ear: "Yin'er, why do you still have the smell of me on you, are you reluctant to take a bath." β
Qin Yin hurriedly said ashamedly: "I washed it once a few days ago, how can it smell, let alone your taste." Of course, this sentence was nonsense, and a joke suddenly eliminated Yin'er's worries a lot.
"I'm leaving. β
Seeing Yin'er this time, I especially wanted to hug her, Qin Yin's feelings were the same, I felt that he was more gentle, and he was still so good at pleasing himself, but his father had just passed away and had to keep filial piety, thinking of this, she sighed softly, her father had just passed away, and she was very sad.
It is unrealistic to say how deep Yin'er's feelings for her parents are, after all, I haven't seen her for so many years, and more emotions are strange, but they are always connected by flesh and blood, and you must first fulfill your filial piety.
"I don't know what happened to Childe, he is not familiar with this place, if he is accidentally caught" After waiting for a long time, Qin Yin paced back and forth anxiously, becoming more and more worried.
"This is" was worried, suddenly found that there were countless scrolls on display in this room, and there were some things scattered on the table, picked up one of the scrolls, and found that it was the seal of Surin of the three major families of Pahlavi, and hurriedly looked at it, and the word temple on the paper was very conspicuous.
"It turns out that they were going to use the temple sacrifices to establish royal power and drive the Mazdaism out of Persia!"
After checking for a while, a movement came from far and near, Yin'er immediately hid, and then looked out, and sure enough, she saw Shen Feng rushing over, and at the same time a large number of people were chasing behind, and Mrs. Sasha also followed, this kind of scene was not difficult to deal with, Yin'er took advantage of the chaos to hold Mrs. Sasha hostage, and then escaped with Shen Feng.
Escaping from the palace and coming to an abandoned clock tower in the Persian capital, there was a false alarm, but when he saw Yin'er's face worried, he was curious: "What are you thinking?"
"I just saw a letter from the Surin family in my room, which mentions the temple and that they want to use the temple sacrifice to tamper with the royal power. "After escaping all night, the fragrance on her body radiated with the smell of sweat, it was the smell of saffron, the national flower of Persia, and the spice on Princess Catherine's body was also saffron, about saffron, Catherine wanted to tell a sad Greek mythological story.
The handsome mortal Crocus, saffron means to fall in love with the beautiful goddess of nature, Smilax and can't, the god sympathizes with his plight, so he turns it into "saffron", so, in the flower language, saffron means to lose love.
"What is a temple sacrifice?"
"When our king dies, he will be buried on the hill where the temple is located, and he will pray to the temple for protection, and then the Pahlavi family will propose a temple trial, and our family will not be able to refuse. β
Shen Feng was surprised: "Trial?"
The so-called judgment is a contest for God's judgment. "As far as I know, the magistrate can decide on the next king, and the will of God is unchangeable, and if they do anything, the royal power of Persia will fall into their hands." β
This is an opportunity, Pahlavi's idea reminded him, Shen Feng thought calmly and said: "Yin'er, I want to make a deal with your family, I want to find a way to put the god's judgment into my hands, but the premise is that after your family has the next kingship, you must not form an alliance with Rouran, this is a prerequisite, as for whether to form an alliance with Dahua, I am not reluctant, this is your country after all." β
Because it is Yin'er's country, Shen Feng doesn't want to go too far, and the current situation does not allow for affection, so he can only negotiate conditions with Yin'er.
"Thank you, Childe, I know that you can't help yourself, and I will try my best to convince my mother. Yin'er looked worried, it can be seen that she is not very happy after returning to the palace, after all, she is not in an ordinary family, and her mother is not an ordinary woman, although her mother used to be an ordinary woman, but after being in the palace for a long time, who can keep what she once was.
Yin'er sighed lightly and said: "I also don't want Persia to form an alliance with Rouran, after coming to Persia, I will persuade as Gongzi said, but the family seems to be more inclined to Rouran." β
Picked up a flat place in the bell tower for her to sit down, and comforted her softly: "Don't be too sad, with your family's position, it is more in the interests of forming an alliance with the Rouran clan, so I only hope that Persia will not ally with the Rouran." β
Qin Yin said in a firm tone: "I will definitely convince my mother this time." β
If you can get the judgment of the gods, then the queen of Persia will have to agree if she doesn't agree, now the problem is that she doesn't know the temple at all, anyone can blow the cowhide, whether you can do it is another matter, thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Yin'er, how much do you know about the temple." β
"I don't know, but most people here do. Yin'er turned to say: "Tomorrow, after I go back to the palace and explain to the queen mother, we will go to the temple together." β
Shen Feng shook his head and said, "Your father has just passed away, so it's better for you to stay in the palace." β
The king died, as a prince and princess, he should be by his side, Qin Yin also knew that she couldn't help herself, and said quietly: "Childe, I don't like it here, I feel so strange, I miss Dahua." β
Wrapping her shoulders, leaning lightly together, he said lightly: "You can come back whenever you want, but you can stay here forever after going back to your mother's house." β
Remembering the beautiful scenery of Dahua in my heart, the noisy morning, the warm and beautiful dusk, thinking of these, a delicate smile bloomed on my face, and I said coquettishly: "Childe, is the master okay?"
Shen Feng gritted his teeth and said, "The master left us and ran away, we have now accepted a few new apprentices, completely ignoring us, Yin'er, can you swallow this breath!"
Qin Yin said happily: "Master, she has accepted a new apprentice?!"
"Yes" Seeing that she didn't think so, she hurriedly sounded the alarm for her: "Why are you still happy for her, after she accepts her apprentice, she will soon leave us behind." β
"The master is not a ruthless person, how could he forget us, childe, you are too worried. Seeing that he was in a hurry, Yin'er felt sweet instead, and said with a smile: "I think you are making the master angry, and the master will accept another apprentice." β
Shen Feng hurriedly said: "My care for the master is far beyond the scope of caring for the elderly, I pick the biggest and freshest bananas, keep them too hard and will not break, cucumbers I especially pluck the thorns, I will ask if it is long or short, that is, ask long and short, and often harass at night." β
Qin Yin chuckled and said, "If you are really like this, it is strange if the master doesn't scare away." β
Shen Feng hung his head and said, "The master has already run away, and she doesn't know where to be happy with her newly recognized apprentice." β
Qin Yinjiao smiled and said, "If the master knows that you miss her so much, he will be very happy." β
"Do I miss her very much, I am also like this to Aunt Li, who sells vegetables, which is less than one ten-thousandth of what I miss you. He said weakly, and then the moonlight from the tower window was reflected, and he asked curiously: "How did your hair turn brown, is it dyed?"
Qin Yin said: "The aristocratic women in Persia have brown hair, so I will dye it this color as well. β
Shen Feng hurriedly said, "Do you have any decorations such as locks on you?" β
"How can there be a lock on my body" Qin Yinqiao's face was suddenly printed with a layer of moon red, and she said shamefully: "How do you know that we have this custom in Persia." β
Shen Feng naturally didn't say that he looked at her sister's underneath, and said seriously: "Since you left, I have studied Persian culture, in order to go to Persia to find you when the time comes. β
"Thank you, childe. The long-lost joy filled her heart again, and after returning to Persia, there were too many discomforts, and the mood was naturally not happy, so she delayed for a while, and said in a quick tone: "What's wrong with them?"
Shen Feng didn't hear clearly for a while, and said suspiciously: "I didn't hear what you said clearly, what are they?"
Qin Yin said in shame: "Who else do I know besides them?" β
Shen Feng said with a smile: "It turns out that you are concerned about them, something happened in the capital, Wu Yao and a few uncles went to Penglai, Ke Lan and Qingxue were busy with business, and Wanci went to the hometown of the nurse because of the death of the nurse."
Qin Yin was surprised: "Why did the nurse of the euphemism pass away?"
The nurse is also Shen Feng's old time, her death Shen Feng was very sad in his heart, and it came so suddenly, after going back this time, he went to give the nurse a pillar of incense, and sighed: "It was said that she died of illness, and the good person was suddenly gone." β
Yin'er's father had just passed away, and his words sounded empathetic, and he said in a low tone: "Therefore, we must cherish the living even moreγγγ"
The night passed.
The next day, Shen Feng and Yin'er had disguised themselves as ordinary people to find Antonio and the others, and successfully took Catherine out, but Yin'er could not return to the palace for the time being, so as not to be embarrassed by Lady Sasha.
The news of the king's death was announced today, and the whole nation mourned, and the whole capital fell into white sorrow, and the church was full of memorial services, which had to last for seven days and then go to Jerusalem for burial, and on the fourth day, Yin'er returned to the palace first.
After Yin'er left, she had to prepare to go to the temple.
The so-called temple is Solomon's Temple, and this temple is located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Jerusalem is the birthplace of the three major religions, a special place in the history of religions, and the temple on the Temple Mount is full of magic, and the legend contains a record of foreseeing the future. (This part is somewhat similar to the real world, but it aggravates the look, and to this day, scientists have not been able to determine whether Solomon's Temple actually existed.) οΌ
Jerusalem is an extremely mysterious place in the history of the world, it is located in Europe, Asia, Africa at the junction of the three continents, and now Solomon's Temple is built three times, namely Judaism, Christianity, Christianity, the most recent one was built by the faithful, these three constructions, respectively, represent three wars, the power to build naturally falls on the victor, it happens that Jerusalem is in the middle of the country, baptized by the fire, which also makes it unique.
Because of religious reasons, there are often wars in the countries of this place, many of which are fighting for the Temple Mount, all three religions believe that there is only one true God in the universe, so they built temples on the Temple Mount, and it is difficult to say which religion the temple belongs to today, the reason why the religions choose to build temples on the Temple Mount is because they all believe that the Temple Mount is the place where God was born.
Because of the wars, the countries made an agreement that the Temple Mount would no longer belong to any one country, and that if a king or bishop died, the king could be buried on the Temple Mount, and stipulated that no war should be waged in Jerusalem, otherwise the families would unite to sanction it, this agreement was also called the 'Salem Agreement', and the country that proposed this agreement was the Byzantine Empire.
On the day of the burial, the kings of the surrounding countries will come to attend the burial ceremony, not only that, but the other two major religions will also come to the temple, if there is a coup d'Γ©tat in Persia on that day, it will be irrevocable, so Shen Feng plans to go to the temple.
The purpose is for a divine judgment!
"Princess, how much do you know about the temple?" On this day, Shen Feng was already on his way to the Temple Mount,
Yin'er has returned to the palace, Antonio and others stayed in the capital to find out the news, and the accompanying person is of course Catherine, she knows a lot about this world, mainly accompanied by beautiful women, the journey is not boring, and the family rules are not allowed to touch beautiful women, not to say that beautiful women are not allowed to accompany them.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know too much that outside the Temple Mount, there are countless fanatical believers guarding the mountain, these believers guard the east and west sides of the Temple Mount, and no one is allowed to climb the Temple Mount, and those who built the temple chose to give their lives to the Temple Mount after building the temple in order to be loyal to their gods, so almost no one has ever entered the temple. Catherine smiled, leaving the dreary Persian capital, her mood embellished with the scenery of the journey.
Hearing this, Shen Feng was stunned, and said with a depressed face: "Didn't you say that yesterday! Princess, don't you want to have an adventure at this time." β
Catherine winked mischievously and said with a smile, "The temple is a very mysterious place, and it would be a pity to come here and miss the temple." Her facial features are distinct, her side face is more vivid, and her smile is unique.
Next time I believe your words, I will xxoo you, Shen Feng said angrily: "Mystery is not the same as danger, you touch your conscience and say, in the end, can you enter the temple." β
"Touch your conscience," Catherine opened her eyes, touched her chest wistfully, and said with a funny smile, "Is this your special way of talking?"
Shen Feng said with a dark face: "Answer my words." β
"yes," Catherine said, "but there will be a little bit of danger, yes, a little bit." β
If he hadn't wanted to make a show at the temple, he wouldn't have ventured to the temple, and pondered for a moment, "Then how do you enter the temple?"
Catherine put away her playfulness and told him everything she knew, the temple was first built by Jews, facing the former Jewish kingdom, after the destruction of the Jewish kingdom, Western Rome intended to destroy the temple, but it was cursed by death, 10,000 Roman soldiers died tragically on the Temple Mount for no reason, fearing that they would be cursed, the Pope of Western Rome did not dare to order the destruction of the temple again, and stopped the massacre of the Jews, and later the Pope asked the Christians to build a temple, which was connected to the Jewish temple end to end.
The two temples are diamond-shaped, which were built by the temples before the imitation of Christianity, and do not underestimate religion, there are all talents in them, and even the knowledge power is stronger than that of ordinary countries.
After the fall of Western Rome, the Church took the opportunity to build another temple on the Temple Mount, also in the shape of a huge diamond, connected to the other two temples, dedicated to Muhammad, while the Temple of Christ was dedicated to Jesus, and the Jewish Temple was dedicated to Yahweh.
Since then, the three religions have acquiesced in the existence of the three temples, in order to prevent outsiders from entering the temple, for hundreds of years, religions have continued to put poisonous insects and beasts around the temple mountain, and also built checkpoints to block the east, west, and south sides, plus the guards of the believers, it is impossible to enter at all, the only possibility is the more mysterious north area.
"It's so strict, how can you get in?" Seeing her smiling, knowing that she was deliberately hanging her appetite, she said angrily: "Hurry up, how to get into the temple." β
The two were riding in a Persian carriage, and Catherine smiled happily and said mysteriously, "There was once a tomb robber who entered the temple several times and drew a map, and if we could find that map, we would be able to enter the temple." β
"Where's that map?"
Catherine said, "The underground exchange in the Black River. β
Shen Feng was surprised: "There is this place! Where is the black river?"
Catherine shook her head and said, "The exact location is not clear, I heard Mr. Antonio say that it is outside Jerusalem." β
Antonio is a merchant, he will know some about the underground exchange, it seems that the temple map may really exist, "The problem is, the items in the underground exchange should be particularly valuable, where do we have coins to pay." β
"I guess in the name of Princess Plantagenet can be exchanged on credit in the underground. Catherine smiled, "The Underground Exchange is a secret place where everything that can be traded, including the princess and princess of the kingdom, the scepter of the pharaoh, and even your ancient treasures from the East, as long as you have gold coins, you can buy anything you want."
This exchange is really bold, even the princess dares to sell it, Shen Fengqi said: "Could it be that various countries in the Middle East and the West recognize the existence of this exchange, why do they allow this illegal exchange." β
Catherine said: "The exchange does not belong to any country, and the surrounding countries have no extra mood to control it, and I heard Mr. Antonio say that the exchange was actually built by the Byzantine Empire, so no one dares to control it." β
"So that's the case" This kind of exchange is a paradise for those tomb robbers, tomb robbers get items, they can go to the exchange to get rid of it, to put it bluntly, it is smuggling, there are everyone in this kind of place, mixed with all the people who walk in the dark, Shen Feng squinted, and said helplessly: "I regret bringing you here now." β
Catherine raised her eyebrows and said, "But without me, you can't trade, your Persian princess doesn't have gold coins for you, and the Persian kingdom is facing a difficult situation." β
Shen Feng frowned and said: "The country is so poor, and it is still busy fighting for power, no wonder it will perish sooner or later." "Originally, the countries of the Middle East do not have any unique geographical advantages, and if they do not pay attention to strengthening the country and strengthening the people, it is easy to embark on the road of national destruction.
Catherine wondered, "Although I have this hunch, I am not as sure as you. β
Shen Feng only judged his previous life, it was really hard to say in this era, so he didn't go any further, opened the window and looked at it, and then turned around and said, "You ask the groom, how long will it take." β
Catherine asked, then said, "Good news, we'll be there today." β
"That's still half a day's drive, recharge your energy first, and get to Heihe to cheer up. I wanted to rest for a while, but I saw that she kept looking out the car window and reminded, "Aren't you resting?"
Catherine looked out the window with a wistful gaze and said in a melancholy tone, "This is the last view, and I want to see more." β
At the end of her trip to Persia, she was to return to the palace, and from then on she was free to do so, and every day had to be formed according to the schedule, and Catherine, unlike In'er, had a heavier burden of the country on her shoulders, and looked at her carefully, feeling that this Western beauty was about to leave.
The well-defined facial features are deeply imprinted in her mind, and the deep blue eyes seem to be a beautiful sea that can involve people in them, she is smiling and looking ahead, and her beautiful side face is more three-dimensional, showing comfort and tranquility.
The carriage continued on its way, the road from Persia to Jerusalem was not easy, because of the war, the road was almost destroyed, and there was no place to rest on the way, so it was necessary to prepare enough water and food, and after another half a day's journey, the carriage reached a barren plateau.
"According to Mr. Antonio's description, the Black River should be near here," Catherine said suddenly, "Shen, look at that mountain, Mr. Antonio said that the Black River is under a big mountain of Antelope Horn." β
"Let me see!" Pulling open the carriage door cloth, there was indeed a big mountain in front of him that seemed to be an antelope's double call, and what was even more amazing was that the face of the mountain also had the outline of an antelope's facial features, "This is it, let's get out of the car and take a look." β
Stop the carriage and pay a gold coin to wait for a few days, when the two of them were no longer on the borders of Persia, but in the territory of the Byzantine Empire, which controlled the entire Mediterranean Sea and was the most powerful country on the continent.
This is the first time that Shen Feng has come to such a distant place, almost half the world, and has also seen all kinds of people in the world, Persians with thick eyebrows, big eyes and full beards, similar to Arabs and Syrians, but the skin color and body hair Syrians are a little lighter, and of course there are Hebrews, that is, Jews, these races are difficult to identify from their appearance, there is no obvious difference in skin color and facial features, if it weren't for Catherine's introduction, I wouldn't know so much.
Because of the frequent wars in this place, the inhabitants are very scarce, and because of the dense concentration of small countries here, the motive for the war is almost for plunder, so to speak, and Catherine entered a city, listening to the Hebrew This is a city, but it does not look like a city at all, no walls, no market, no houses, only a pair of fierce and greedy Jewish hungry people by the roadside.
"Where is this city, it's a wasteland, how do I feel like I'm in a wolf's den. A bundle of wolf-like eyes came over, and Shen Feng's body naturally became alert, and he said in a low voice, "Hurry up and get out of here." β
"They're Jews, maybe they know where the Black River is. Catherine took him by the hand, she had heard the story of the Jews, who had been made more murderous than ordinary because of the calamity that had befallen them.
"We wanted to ask for directions, but I think they wanted to eat our meat. Taking Catherine's hand and quickening his pace, the ruined town was littered with decomposing corpses, and there was a foul smell in the air, this place was the most desolate place to pass by these days, and it was fortunately daytime, and if it was night, it would have looked very gloomy.
The hungry Jews stood up one by one, their eyes kept looking at the two of them, Shen Feng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and run!"
After saying that, the two ran up, and the Jews behind also chased after them, fortunately, there were not many of these Jews, and Shen Feng shot down a few, so they were timid and did not dare to bully these two outsiders.
After running for a few kilometers, Catherine gasped for breath and smiled: "I finally got a taste of what it feels like to be a prey, oh my God, there's a little kid in it." β
Shen Feng said helplessly: "Nature, nature and environment will make a person go crazy, whether he is a child or an adult, I have also seen some organizations that train children from an early age and use children as killing weapons." β
"It's cruel. β
"Heihe should be here, so full of primitive places, it is estimated that the local state is too lazy to manage it. He picked up a piece of cloth and put it on her, and said, "Primal desire is not only hunger, but also hunger and thirst, temporarily covering your beauty until we leave here safely." β
"Good idea. β
Walking all the way, I saw a river bank at the end of the town, the river water was completely polluted, there were rotten things floating on the river, the water of the whole river was dirty, the naked eye could hardly see below the water surface, the color was faint black, and even the water surface was growing disgusting bacteria, bacteria are usually not visible, but once they gather and breed, you can see the sticky and dense bacterial group.
(It has not been updated, writing Persia suddenly did not know how to write, so depressed, and there was no state, mainly to describe the culture of Western colors, to see the information of some countries in the Middle East, and found that the cultural structure is so complex, there are many countries, and there are religious cultures, and the history is also very complicated.) οΌ
