Tang Lang knew that the song sung by Zhu Chongba was a sacred song that everyone in the Ming Sect would know.

He heard the words of this hymn, full of compassion and compassion, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

Tang Lang knew that this Mingjiao originated in Persia, and the founder was named the Persian "Mani". Therefore, after the religion was introduced to China, it was once called "Manichaeism".

The religion believes that there are two opposing kingdoms in the world, the "kingdom of light" and the "kingdom of darkness."

The classic of Manichaean practice is the "Great Cloud Light Sutra", and the temple where it is practiced is called "Great Cloud Light Temple".

The Kingdom of Light is full of light, goodness, peace, order, and purity, and its king is "Great Ming Zun";

The Kingdom of Darkness, on the other hand, is full of lust, slaughter, quarrels, greed, anger, hurricanes, sludge, and poisonous water, ruled by the "Dark Lord".

All the people of the world are the descendants of the Dark Lord.

And the ruler of the Light World, Da Ming Zun, sent the Light Messenger to the world to save the souls of mankind. At the same time, in order to illuminate the dark territory, Da Mingzun also deliberately lowered the eternal "holy fire".

All good men and women who worship Mingjiao must worship the "Ming King".

King Ming, that is, the Great Ming Zun.

After Manichaeism was introduced to the hinterland of the Central Plains, in order to adapt to the tastes of the local people, it absorbed some theories of Taoism, Buddhism, and White Lotus, and thus transformed into a sect with the characteristics of the Central Plains.

Correspondingly, the Great Ming Zun in Manichaeism evolved into the "Maitreya Buddha" in Buddhism.

Manichaeans, most of whom are dressed in white to symbolize light, are embroidered with flame on the cuffs or corners of their clothes to symbolize the sacred fire that illuminates the dark world.

In the meeting place of the Manichaeans, the Manichaeans and the Manichaeans, most of them are as white as snow, majestic and solemn, and they make people yearn for it.

A generation of empress Wu Zetian, in order to stand on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, once used Manichaeism to claim that she was the descendant of the Ming Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court wantonly destroyed Buddhism, and Manichaeism was also dealt a devastating blow.

Later, in order to avoid the suppression of the imperial court, Manichaeism went underground and became a secret sect, which was once called "Moichaeism" by the world.

The Moroccan followers are secretive, and it is inevitable that they will be mixed in with some bad people with ulterior motives, and they will do some unconscionable and despicable deeds.

As a result, the Mo religion was once called the "Demon Sect" by the world.

The difference of one word is thousands of miles away.

Since then, the name of the Demon Sect has spread far and wide, and the reputation of Manichaeism in the Central Plains has been lost.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Emperor Yuan Shun was in power, the Mengyuan Empire gradually came to a state of decline. On this occasion, Manichaeism gained revival.

In order to wash away the notoriety of the Demon Sect, it was renamed "Ming Sect". This is naturally because Manichaeism worships the "Ming King" Maitreya Buddha.

Some Han heroes who opposed the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty took Mingjiao as the call to constantly raise troops to revolt against the tyrannical Yuan.

Zhu Chongba, Hu Dahai, Guo Guangqing and others had long been dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the Mongols, so they joined the Ming Sect one after another and became Ming Sect members.

Seeing that Zhu Chongba sincerely sang the hymn of Mingjiao, Hu Dahai's heart couldn't help but get excited, and he sang loudly: "Burn my remnants, the holy fire is blazing, what joy is life, and what is the pain of death......"

"A little bit, the sea ......"

Zhu Chongba's face was anxious, and he whispered to remind Hu Dahai, who was overly excited, for fear that his chant would attract the Mongolian rangers.

Hu Dahai was reminded by Zhu Chongba before singing in a low voice.

At this point, it was already the middle of the night.

Tang Lang had already understood the reason why Guo Guangqing was captured by Xiangyang Dalu Huachifu, and he had already decided in his heart to rescue Guo Guangqing, and then return to Haozhou and Sizhou with Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai.

Thinking about it in his heart, Tang Lang said to the two: "Eighth brother, brother Dahai, since this is the case, without further ado, I will go to Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion to rescue my uncle!" ”

Zhu Chongba's face was grateful, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Tang is heroic and righteous, and Chongba feels inexplicable. ”

"In the future, everyone will be brothers, and they still say these things and do things." Tang Lang said.

The reason why Tang Lang said this was naturally because he was about to become a Mingjiao disciple under the introduction of Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai. According to the teachings of Mingjiao, all those who join Mingjiao are brothers and sisters, and their parents are my parents, and my parents are their parents.

Because of this, Tang Lang said something like "everyone will be brothers in the future".

"Since Brother Tang is going to Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion to rescue Uncle, let me tell you about the path......"

So, Hu Dahai told them in detail the path from the small courtyard where they were to Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion, and reminded Tang Lang: "Xiangyang Dalu Huachi knows Limu's son, what is Yang Yixuan's, it is said that he is a martial arts master, and he has also recruited a lot of heroes from the rivers and lakes, Tang brothers must be careful when they go." ”

Tang Lang nodded and said, "Brother Dahai, don't worry, I have my own disposal." ”

At that moment, saying goodbye to Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai, Tang Lang pushed open the door and came to the small courtyard.

He knew it was too late.

As soon as he twisted his waist, Tang Lang had already jumped on the roof lightly and skillfully, fluttering like flying flotsam.

Zhu Chongba and Hu Dahai in the courtyard below couldn't help but praise when they saw it: "What a handsome kung fu!" ”

Jumping all the way to the house and crossing the ridge, Tang Lang made a meteor step, and under the moonlight, it was like a leisurely walk.

Soon, he came to the vicinity of a large, brightly lit compound.

From a distance, this large courtyard is in front of and back, there are seven entrances, although it is the middle of the night, everywhere is still brightly lit, illuminating the buildings and pavilions, magnificent.

And this is just a Daru Huachi Mansion in Xiangyang.

Tang Lang's body advanced quickly, and he carefully surveyed the large courtyard back and forth. Seeing that everywhere is heavily defended, and the swords and guns are dazzling.

However, he did not find the place where Guo Guangqing was being held.

Tang Lang thought to himself: "Could it be that this Xiangyang prince Yang Yixuan imprisoned Guo Guangqing in a dungeon?" ”

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from a pavilion.

“…… Brother Qin is the leader of the Ao Gang, this time he is willing to submit to my Great Yuan Dynasty and serve under Yang Gongzi, I will guarantee you a bright future. ”

The one who spoke was the black hand that Tang Lang had seen in Hanyang Restaurant.

Tang Lang, who was hiding in the dark part of the eaves, hurriedly looked at the pavilion, but saw that Heishou, Qin Guosan and others were sitting around a brocade-clothed boy.

On the banquet, there are already all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, steaming hot, thinking that they have just entered the banquet.

I only listened to the brocade-clothed boy who was sitting at the top, and said in a loud voice: "I heard that the Ao Gang led by Brother Qin is up and down the Han River, and there are 14 good players in the gang known as the 'Fourteen Murderers', and they are powerful in Hubei Province, Xiao Ke really admires them tightly!" ”

But I heard Qin Guo say in three voices: "This time, Qin led the Ao Gang brothers to return to the Yuan Dynasty, really wanting to make meritorious contributions, seal his wife and son, and hope that his son will help him more." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The boy in brocade was quite handsome, but when he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Before Brother Qin returned to my Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion, he had already sent someone to send me a big gift, and Xiao Ke was even more grateful! Originally, I was going to have a banquet for you on the painting boat today. I didn't think of a lot of good things...... Now, I have no choice but to drink and feast in this small pavilion. The scenery is very different, and I have wronged everyone. ”

Tang Lang hid in the dark and looked at the light, naturally seeing it more realistically. He knew that this brocade-clothed boy was naturally Polo Timur, the son of Xiangyang Daluhua Chizhi Limu, whose Han name was Yang Yixuan.

Yang Yixuan spoke extremely politely to Qin Guosan and the others.

Qin Guosan also smiled all over his face and said, "In Hubei Province, who doesn't know Yang Yixuan, the son of Xiangyang?" It is really a great honor for our Ao Gang to be under the command of Xiangyang Daru Huachifu. Since the prince likes the big gift I gave, then Qin Guosan is not busy in vain. ”

Tang Lang didn't know what the "big gift" he was talking about, so he had to be patient and continue to listen.

I only heard Yang Yixuan say: "Eighteen boats of private salt, a salt lord in the sky, this gift is too heavy." ”

When Tang Lang heard Yang Yixuan say "the salt lord of the vertical and horizontal Haosi", his heart moved, and he secretly thought: Isn't this the salt lord of the vertical and horizontal Haosi that Yang Yixuan said in his mouth the same as Zhu Chongba's uncle Guo Guangqing? Hao Si naturally refers to Hao Zhou and Si Zhou in Hui Province. It turned out that the great gift that Qin Guosan, the leader of the Ao Gang, presented to Yang Yixuan was Guo Guangqing and his eighteen boats of private salt......

He thought in his heart, and heard Qin Guosan smile and say, "Haha...... Childe, you're welcome! It's just a trifle. ”

"In my opinion, this is not a trivial matter...... Yang Yixuan said silently, "Brother Qin, do you know who this Guo Guangqing is?" ”

Qin Guosan said: "Guo Guangqing is naturally a salt lord ...... across Haosi."

"That's just who he is." Yang Yixuan glanced at the black hand sitting next to him, and said, "As far as we know, this Guo Guangqing is an incense master of the Ming Sect, and he belongs to the giant wooden banner of the Ming Sect. - Brother Qin, in this way, you can make a big deal. You have offended the whole Mingjiao. ”

Qin Guosan laughed and said, "Childe said that he was laughing." I am now a member of the Great Yuan Dynasty, what if I offend the entire Ming Sect? I have the entire Great Yuan Dynasty behind me, what can Mingjiao do to me? ”

Yang Yixuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qin said the same. I think I am a big yuan, the territory is vast, and the small Mingjiao can toss how big a wave it is. For a long time, the Ming Sect has been against our Great Yuan Dynasty, they secretly gathered the party, and constantly raised troops to revolt, but which time was not exterminated by our Mongolian cavalry. ”

Qin Guosan said: "What Childe said is extremely true. Not only the Ming Sect, but also the six major factions such as Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, Huashan, Kunlun, and Emei, as well as gangs such as Shenquanmen, Haisha Sect, Giant Whale Gang, Sanjiang Gang, and Wushan Gang, also have faint objections."

Yang Yixuan nodded, and said silently: "Gang Master Qin seems to have fallen behind...... The beggar gang, known as the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, has also been secretly against the imperial court! ”

"Beggar gang!?"

A hint of shock seemed to flash in Qin Guosan's eyes, "...... As far as I know, the beggars have no intention of going against the imperial court......"

"Oh!?"

Yang Yixuan said for a long time: "How does the Qin Gang Master know? Could it be that the Qin Gang Leader heard it from the Beggar Gang Elder Chen Youliang? There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes again.

Seeing Yang Yixuan say the words "Beggar Gang Elder Chen Youliang" in his mouth, Qin Guosan's face suddenly changed, and his originally ruddy face suddenly turned pale.

And the "Fourteen Murderers" under Qin Guosan, who was sitting on the seat, also changed color on everyone's faces.
