Boom······

An explosion sounded, and the mountains shook in an instant. Large chunks of the decoration on the walls fell off, and rubble and dust smashed to the ground. One of the guards was injured by a lamp, and the others were unsteady on their feet. Pashvajiya also fell to the ground, and those who did not escape were terrified.

"Kill!" Before he could get up, a group of thugs rushed over.

"Protect the Imam!" , the guards hurried to get in front of Pashvajiya and Farasso.

Knowing that staying here would also be a drag, Giya and Farasso didn't care about the chaotic crowd and hurriedly squeezed towards the exit.

And the guards who stayed behind had scruples, afraid of hurting ordinary people, so they had reservations. But the murderer kills people when they see them, and they shoot ruthlessly. In addition, from time to time, there were murderers hiding in the crowd and firing cold arrows, so the guards who were not superior in numbers were quickly dealt with.

Fortunately, by this time Pashwagiya had already reached the exit.

But there were so many wounded and corpses piled up in the doorway that he needed some strength to climb out.

"Help—save me!" , Farasso suddenly tripped over a corpse and rushed towards Pashwagiyah, who was running ahead.

Although the two have differences in doctrine, they still have some affection after working together for so long. So Pashvajiya didn't think much of it, and quickly ran to Farasso's side and pulled him up.

But unexpectedly, just as he was on Farazo's arm, a short blade stabbed him in the chest.

"Don't blame me! The House of Elders only needs one voice! Falasso said with a calm face.

Pashvajiya clutched the sore spot and slowly collapsed.

At this time, all the guards in the temple have been resolved, and most of the believers have run away. But some of them were still blocked, and countless people were injured.

The assailants surrounded Farasso, and it seemed that the murder was more than lucky. But inside, the murderer at the head of the group shouted at Farasso: "Elder! ”。

"Hmmm! It's a shenzhan! You fight for Allah and you will enter Paradise when you die. Farrasso said with a fanatical expression, and the murderers all looked yearning.

The assailants then slaughtered from the inside out, and it was not until the guards arrived that they detonated the explosives hidden on their bodies.

On this occasion, Yuantong Temple, which is only one river away from the seventh district.

By virtue of the name of the Buddha's tooth relic, Yuantong Temple has become the largest temple of Buddhism in Malu and even Khorasan and Eastern Persia. The princess of Dayuan, the old Liao princess Hun suddenly raised funds for her, and the Buddhist monk Yijing of the House of Elders personally presided over the first temple building ceremony for her. Therefore, the foundation of Yuantong Temple is far better than that of ordinary temples.

Now the Buddhist circles of Dayuan have spread the word 'Chong'en in the north, and Yuantong in the south'.

At present, the devotees gathered in the large dharma field in front of the temple, including the river, and many devotees sat in small boats to listen. Loudspeakers were scattered around Venerable Yijing, and at different points, there were monks interpreting at the same time.

Although this ensures that believers listen to the doctrine to the greatest extent, there are still peripheral believers who cannot hear it clearly.

Among the believers, a group of monks wearing pointed hats and dressing in distinctly different attire from others are particularly noticeable.

This is a monk from the Tibetan region. Headed by a famous local guru - Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen. It's just that unlike other monks, his hat is round. It is said to be an expression of mourning for the deceased lama Drakpa Gyaltsen.

The current religious reform in the Tibetan region involves a dispute between the status of Islam and Buddhism in the Tibetan region. Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen, as a Buddhist master in Tibet, came to Malu for this purpose.

Of course, nominally, it was Yuantong Temple who invited him to come to Malu to discuss Buddhism.

However, Li Chengji has not yet met this Tubo master.

Because Dayuan respected Islam as the state religion, and had previously allowed Yijing to enter the House of Elders, he did not destroy the Buddha in the Chu River, Tianshan, and Gansu provinces, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Muslims. Now that he has met with the leaders of Tibetan Buddhism, it is easy to exacerbate the discontent of the Muslims.

Especially at this juncture when the two religions of Hui and Buddhism are in contention, the Dayuan official headed by Li Chengji must maintain a transcendent position.

In this case, it is also convenient to come forward to resolve the dispute in the future.

But at this moment, the ground buzzed and shook suddenly. Then I heard a few booms, and several explosions were heard on the other side of the river.

Just as everyone was shocked, there was an explosion among the believers. I listened to the screams and chaos.

"Master, fast forward to the temple!" A warrior monk rushed to Sakya and led them into the temple.

But another explosion sounded in the crowd, right next to Sakya. As a result, the chaotic flow of people directly dispersed the Tibetan monks.

During this time, several people approached Sakya, with obvious ill intentions.

"Ahh Captain, what is this? The members of the Inspectorate who were guarding the periphery did not react for a while.

For large-scale gatherings like this, there are usually additional guards in charge of security.

"Someone's making trouble! Evacuate! Although this was the first time such a thing had happened, the captain, who had experienced several drills, responded immediately.

And those murderers have already approached, and they have drawn their swords one after another, wantonly slaughtering the believers around them.

"Yes back!" Someone heard the murderer crying out to Allah, and he was shocked and angry.

The warrior monks who were protecting Sakya quickly rushed to the direction where the murderer was, and in an instant they were entangled.

"Amitabha, Sakya Master!" , Yijing came to Sakya and recited the Buddha's trumpet.

Sakya also replied to the Buddha's name and followed Yijing into the temple. The novices who were guarding both sides of the temple gate hurriedly closed the door, but some murderers deliberately drove the people into the temple and broke through the human wall formed by the monks at once.

"Master?" , a monk asked nervously.

"Let's go! Let's go to the ashram! Yuantong Temple covers an area of not small. In addition to the Bodhisattva hall for people to worship, there are also many meditation rooms and clean rooms. As for the temple gate, it can only be abandoned.

In this way, in the clean room at the back, the novice blocked the door with something. From time to time, screams were heard, but they gradually faded away.

"Master Sakya, please bear with me for your negligence!" , righteous and pure way.

"Unharmed! It's just that these Hui disciples have been plotting for a long time to do this evil thing! Sakya sighed a little. After all, after coming to Malu these days, he still feels that Malu is very safe. But when something like this happens suddenly, it doesn't happen in a moment. In the end, before the mage was held, the guards searched the believers who came one by one.

In this way, there are still people carrying murder weapons, which means that there must be people who have been bribed in the guards.

As they spoke, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Just listen to the bang... The door was kicked open, and someone said, "No! ”。

"Search separately! Be sure to address them! But it was the murderers who rushed to the apse and began to search for people.

Sakya and Yijing glanced at each other, and their faces changed. The monks and novices were also nervous.
