The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the prefect sent his family out of the city, and watched the brigade of guards crowd around the carriage and gradually move away, and the prefect turned around with a sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info family can leave, but he can't. As the chief officer of one party, it is the responsibility to defend the territory. The sun and moon flag on Dunhuang City is still there, and he is still there. When Dunhuang was captured, he had to "repay the king with his death".

Before the prefect had entered the city, he once again saw a large number of carriages rushing towards the city gate. The prefect smiled bitterly, it seems that there are a lot of smart people in Dunhuang City! Some are heading towards Mingsha Mountain, after all, there are Taoist immortals there, and there are also heading to the east. There is Jiayu Pass there, and when you enter Jiayu Pass, you will have a safety guarantee.

In the lobby of the Dunhuang prefect's yamen, the subordinate officials of the prefect's yamen gathered together. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, as a group of old officials, whose "dog nose" is not a thief and a thief? originally thought that it would be a day to live in a muddy nightmare, but after he left, it didn't matter if it flooded. Unexpectedly, a miracle came last night, and the Han people were overjoyed, and they began to have the confidence to compete with the Heavenly God Cultists, and those Heavenly God Sect Believers who were used to rampant on weekdays would not give up?

"Hey~ That immortal is too, what are you doing here in Dunhuang if you have nothing to do? Don't think it's messy enough? He is an immortal, with vast magical powers and boundless mana. Have you ever thought that once the people in Dunhuang City are instigated, how can those Heavenly God Sect people be willing to take a break? Lord Kang, the official of Dunhuang, vented with a grumble. Speaking of which, he is also a liuguan, like the prefect, it is also the time when his term of office is about to leave, but it is a pity that he came out like this at this time, how could he not be angry in his heart.

As soon as the official words came out, the lobby was silent. The magistrate was a little confused about the situation at first, but when he saw the prefect's face full of iron and the disgusted eyes of his colleagues, his face turned white.

There are all Han officials here, and most of them may have been religiously worshiped after witnessing the boundless power of the "immortals" last night. Even if it is not for the sake of cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened, I hope that after death, I can get good fortune. Didn't you see that last night, the immortals only crossed the people of China to die, and only the people of the Daomen passed away? At this time, I am afraid that they are all thinking about how to express their "piety" to that "immortal", right?

"Smack!" The prefect was full of anger, and slapped one hand on the table, and the tea cup on the top of the shock was about to jump over.

"As an official of the Ming court, I have no responsibility at all. Before the incident happened, first think about deferring the blame, what are your intentions? The sage still said: Huayi's discernment. You have read the books of the sages, but have you ever understood that this is a dispute between the Taoist and the unified? If there is no immortal manifestation on Mingsha Mountain, we will be muddy, and within a hundred years, this place will definitely be full of sandalwood, and there will be no more Han people's land! The prefect shouted.

In fact, there is a truth that everyone does not understand. The Han people in the city are weak, and the name of the gods is strong. For the sake of peace, all officials blindly suppressed the Han people and favored other ethnic groups. Whether it is for self-preservation or various "privileges", countless Han people have moved away, and countless Han people have abandoned their ancestral gods and converted to the religion of the gods. In the long run, is this still the land of China and the frontier of the Ming Dynasty? It's just that it's easier said than done, and there are a few officials who don't just think about their own future, year after year, under the accumulation of hardship, the latecomers are even more powerless, or simply go with the flow, open one eye, close one eye, anyway, the Ming Dynasty is not their family.

"If Lord Kang is worried about chaos in the city, he can hang the seal and leave, and we will never make it difficult for others. However, today's matter will be reported to the court by 1510. All responsibilities are borne by the officer. After the prefect finished his anger, he replied to his slow tone and said.

Although the prefect's tone was soft, it was like thunder in the ears of this Kang lord. Master Kang's face was bloodless for a while, and he didn't go, and he didn't go. looked at his colleagues with sadness, and watched all the officials present turn their faces away from his pleas, how could he not know that he was done today?

The plea was fruitless, and the prefect's yamen official knew that today he had become the chicken that was killed, and he had become a "meeting gift" given to the "fairy" of Mingsha Mountain by his colleagues and officials. A wave of resentment rose to the sky. simply tore his face and sneered: "This official is also an official of the imperial court, and you don't want to dismiss me without going through the imperial court." If this place is safe, if there is really chaos in the city, I am afraid that all of you will burn the jade. Hugh Yan, this official will see your jokes when the time comes. ”

Kang Tuiguan brushed his sleeves away, and there was silence in the flower hall of the prefect's yamen. Before the prefect could speak, it was rare for the prefect to stand aside with the prefect, and sneered: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" ”

When the officials in the flower hall heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to the Lord Fucheng, who didn't care about anything except to disagree with the prefect on weekdays, and was very puzzled where to start with this?

"Their whole family has converted to the gods not long ago, but I'm afraid that Shilin won't tolerate it, so they won't talk about it with outsiders!" Lord Fu Cheng explained.

"Oh no, that guy must have gone to ventilate!" The prefect suddenly came back to his senses and lost his voice.

"Xu Dianguan immediately organized three classes of officials to inspect the whole city, and if something was wrong, he immediately came to report," the prefect immediately ordered.

"Lord Fucheng immediately notified the gentry in the city, and immediately summoned everyone to pay for it, suppress it internally, and guard it externally. Until the arrival of the imperial court"

"The rest of the people should immediately take stock of the treasury, organize Han Min's patrols, distribute weapons, and if anyone dares to cause trouble, they can be arrested first, and if they resist arrest, they can be beheaded on the spot. The official will bring the matter to the court and explain the stakes. It's about Taoism, the current Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the National Teacher all believe in the Three Qings, and they will not ignore it, but please rest assured. This official will go to meet with the leader of the Heavenly God Sect in this city for a while, and see if he can turn the conflict into a jade silk, everyone values peace." After the prefect made the arrangements, the officials in the hall nodded one after another and took the order.

In Dunhuang City, early in the morning, Hermes-Epitek felt that he had the "backing" of the gods. Incense burned everywhere in half of the city, and the Han people began to openly worship their gods, ancestors. Horseback riding. There is an endless stream of donkeys driving to Mingsha Mountain to "pilgrimage". But by noon, some Hermes-Epitek with a keen sense of smell began to feel wrong. The streets were full of patrolling errand soldiers, and the gentry gathered at the prefect's yamen to discuss important matters, and when they came back, they all left the city in a carriage and carriage, and many began to organize their families to practice in secret. Even the defenders of the city left their camps and took to the streets, apparently to the Celestial Cult.

"Are the Celestial Cultists going to rebel?" The Hermes-Epitek secretly talked about it, and the bold began to discuss how to protect themselves, but the less timid were ready to leave the city. Unfortunately, the city gate was closed before it got dark. There was an uproar in the city for a while, and rumors began to fly all over the city, and the people were panicked.

"My lord, how are you talking to the Imam?" Lord Fu Cheng looked at the worried prefect returning from outside, and immediately asked.

"They say that the imam is repenting to the gods and cannot see outsiders." The prefect's face was pale.

"Today, there are suddenly a lot of people dressed in the Heavenly God Sect coming in and out, and the lower officials are afraid that they will contact inside and outside, or blend in with horse thieves, so they have ordered the city gate to be closed in advance." Fu Cheng reported.

"Well, since we can't talk about it, we can only prepare to take strict precautions. The city is still good, but I am afraid of collusion between inside and outside. If the gods and cultists gather in their heavenly god temples today, and we and the Han people are not allowed to enter, I am afraid that there will be chaos tonight!" The prefect sighed.

"Gather a crowd to rebel, why don't you forcibly rush in and dismiss?" Lord Fu Cheng asked.

"The temple of the gods is not allowed to be entered by outsiders. If the officials want to lead people to force their way in, they will have to rebel if they don't rebel. will also say that the officials forced the people to rebel, and they beat a rake! I'm afraid I can't wash it off!" The prefect's words can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs.

"Hey~!, my lord is still soft-hearted!" Lord Fu Cheng shook his head and said.

The prefect himself sighed and did not speak. Of course, he knew what he meant by his second officer. It's nothing more than that if they are preparing for a rebellion, they will get dirty and get a great success. If you are not prepared to do the opposite, you can also plant it, and it will be a great achievement. It's just a big mess, and how many lives are going to be ruined in this thought! There are still half Han people in the city, but if you go to the west, it will be all the people of the gods!

The moon on Mingsha Mountain is high and the clouds are light, and the dust and Xuanxu are still sitting in the small courtyard by the moonlight. The tea is light and fragrant, not afraid of the night wind outside, and the weather is cold.

"You're provoking a war!" Xuan Xuzi still held the black cloud and sighed.

"The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the martial arts are not good. Poor Dao saw with his own eyes in Jiangnan, more than a dozen Japanese people chased thousands of officers and soldiers to flee for their lives. Poor Dao can't stop it in person, it's useless to this point, it's hard for Da Ming to die!" Lichen sighed and placed a white jade cloud on the chessboard.

"Do you still want Da Ming to have a few class supers, Wei Huo can't do it?" Xuan Xuzi smiled and put the black jade cloud into the chessboard.

"The Peerless Light Cavalry is urging the war clouds, and the army of the Ming Dynasty will not succeed without refinement." Lichen said with a serious face.

"Taoist noble student, if you provoke a big war, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to your cultivation!" Xuan Xuzi persuaded.

"If Daming doesn't turn back in time, it won't take a hundred years, and more people will die. When the time comes, the land will be full of sandalwood, and China will be all destroyed. Wouldn't it be even worse? Lichen asked with a smile.

"I'm waiting to be away from the world, why are you so paranoid!" Xuan Xuzi shook his head and sighed.

There was no sound of falling, and it was late at night before you knew it was playing chess.

"It's coming!" Xuan Xuzi sighed.

"Mingsha Mountain will ask Taoist friends, and the poor road will protect the safety of Dunhuang." Lichen looked at the chess game that had no result in the middle of the night.

"There you go! After all, this is also an old Taoist dojo, and it is my Taoist jungle. How can the old way ignore it?" Xuan Xuzi replied with a smile.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Then it's a hassle for fellow Daoists. Lichen stood up and bowed.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Why do Taoist friends have to see the outside like this, the old Taoist is not a person in the Taoist sect? After Xuan Xuzi finished speaking, he looked at each other and smiled. The dust went away with the sword, but Xuan Xuozi stared at the back of the dust disappearing, and stood still for a long time. I don't know what I'm thinking.

The long fire dragon at the foot of Mingsha Mountain winds for ten miles. A large group of horse thieves roared with torches, bows and swords. I'm afraid that the Heavenly God Sect is thinking about Mingsha Mountain for a day or two! With so many horse thieves gathered together, I'm afraid they have been prepared for a long time. There is no such thing as yesterday. They'll take the opportunity to make trouble, too!

Shaking his head and sighing in the dust, it is no wonder that more than ten years later, the Ming Dynasty will abandon Dunhuang. It's really weak. The Cult of the Celestials is very difficult to control!

In the city of Dunhuang, the sound of scripture recitation is endless all night. All the Celestial cultists gathered in the major temples and never left. The Imam of the Celestial God Sect sat with a group of prostrate preachers in their largest Celestial Temple, listening to the sound of chanting outside in unison, and closed their eyes and remained silent.

"Honor, Lord Imam, since last night, there has been a steady stream of shameful apostas, and there are far fewer people who have rushed to worship in the temple today. The government also openly turned its face and was openly hostile to those who obeyed the gods. These damned Kafirs should go to Hellfire. A bearded man spoke.

"O you who believe! Strike down the disbelievers that are near you, and make them feel your severity. You know that the gods are with self-denial. The Takfir (apostates) and the Kafir. Hell must be lowered. This is a paradise given by the gods to those who believe, and they will either take refuge or die! "There is another prostrate opening, which will be even more severe.

"But after all, there is still the army of the Ming here. We don't necessarily win. Imam Abdul Gahar asked with some hesitation. But the hands that tightly grasped the scimitar in his hand undoubtedly showed that he had already made up his mind. Because as long as he succeeds, he will be the absolute leader of the Celestial Cult, and he will be a dependant of the Celestials, even if he becomes a king, it is not impossible.

Indeed, the gods have exchanged Paradise for the lives and possessions of the believers. They fought for Allah; They either kill the enemy and achieve results, or they kill themselves. That's a real promise. All the people immediately expressed their attitude and determination. Their decision will surely be the determination of the believers who are worshipping outside.

"Oh well! Let the angels encourage the believers to fight bravely, and if there are twenty of you who are stoic, you will be able to overcome two hundred enemies; If there are a hundred of you, you will be able to overcome a thousand disbelievers. For the disbelievers are not a discreet people. Fight against those who do not believe in the gods and in the last days, who do not follow the commandments of the gods and their messengers, who do not follow the religion of the gods, that is, those who have received the Scriptures, until surrender, to convert, to die, or to pay the tax in a proper manner. Imam Abdul Gahar jerked to his feet and raised his scimitar high above his head. The Amen shouted for joy and blessed the name of Allah. He ran outside to gather the believers and prepare for battle.

When the bells of the temple rang in the middle of the night, countless devotees of the gods poured into the streets, raising their weapons aloft and rushing towards the gathering points of the Hermes-Epitek, the government offices, and the barracks.

A raging fire broke out into the sky, and the city was in turmoil. The Hermes-Epitek were awakened in the middle of the night, and the people who had been prepared for a long time secretly picked up their weapons and began to prepare to defend their homes.

When the endless shouts of killing, screaming, and colliding were mixed, the sound of horses' hooves outside Dunhuang City was like thunder on the horizon, getting louder and louder, louder and louder. Until the boundless fire appeared at the end of heaven and earth, surging like a tide. Boundless like the sea!

Above the city gates, I watched a long fire dragon covering the sky and the sun. The prefect who couldn't sleep at night took his officers with him. Looking at the winding fire dragon from afar. He gasped and said, "They are really prepared!" ”

A beacon fire, billowing wolf smoke, black clouds oppressing, this night is not in the sun. (To be continued.) )
