Yazd City, the city is full of martial law!

The streets were full of soldiers, and people were asked not to go out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Those who dare to disobey the order will be killed.

The Western Army's infantry cavalry surrounded the Holy Fire Temple in the center of the city.

The bigwigs of the Western Army gathered here, and if the enemy really wanted to attack, they would be wiped out, so they didn't dare to relax in any way.

In front of the hall, Wei Xi and everyone put on a white robe as required to show respect.

Kang Caien was really sincere, and after communicating with the temple, he not only let the army carefully inspect the temple before they arrived, but even allowed Wei Xi and others to enter the temple with weapons!

He had to do it as a last resort, otherwise let alone three million, it would be tens of millions, and Fan would not do it without injury!

Now that Fan Wuxian is presiding over Wei Xi's security work, he is like an iron bread man, and he wants Wei Xi to be in a dangerous place, which is delusional!

What if there was an enemy ambushing in the temple that would be unfavorable to Wei Xi?

So far, Wei Xi's life does not belong to him personally, it belongs to the Western Army, and the glory and wealth of the entire Western Army and the reputation of the entire Western Army are tied to his safety, not allowing the army to inspect the temple, not allowing the army to enter the temple, not allowing Wei Xi's personal guards to bring weapons into the temple, saying no is not good!

Kang Caien couldn't convince him at all, and if he didn't do what Fan Wuxian wanted, everything would not be discussed.

"You dare to disobey the will of the prince? As long as he bows three times, he will have three million guan, don't you want this?! Kang asked in surprise.

"This is a chaotic fate, I don't obey!" Fan Wuxian shook his head like a rattle.

He said solemnly: "According to the military system, the prince should give me an order, and I will give an order to the army, and if I don't carry out his order, he will remove me, otherwise I will not give this kind of order!" ”

Then Fan Wuxian smiled and said: "The prince has a relationship with you, but I don't have a friendship with you, you are so bent on encouraging the prince to pay homage, it is quite suspicious, let me hand you over to Old Man Hu to go for a walk, and you will admit everything!" ”

Old man Hu, corporal torture begging everyone, is a prisoner in the capital, because of the Taiping princess's angry beating of Jin Wuwei general Qiu Shenji and went to the Western Regions, in charge of punishment, for foreign races, the ability is to beat a bear to admit that it is a rabbit, its reputation is so great, the Western races are frightened, is a celebrity.

After a while, it is a cool official's saying, that is, he suffered once on various torture instruments, and Ren Er is copper and iron sheet was also discounted.

Fan Wuxian really opened his eyes and said nonsense, when Kang Caien sent money to the army, it was Fan Wuxian who signed the cash, and the two couldn't be more familiar.

"The soldiers are ruthless!" Kang Caien lamented: "Okay, whatever you say depends on you, I see that you are much stronger than me, I let the Bodhisattva bend his waist, and you let me dance!" ”

“WHAT？” Fan Wu hurt Webster's Hu Yu and asked.

"Let's go around, I'll show you everything, isn't it just stripping/closing!" Kang Caien snorted coldly.

Stripping/cloning dance, the latest popular dance in the capital of the gods, can see the light of everything.

……

On the temple, Wei Xi was alone in the middle, and in front of him was a quaint altar, on which a raging flame was lit, and more than a dozen white-robed priests stood respectfully.

He wore soft armor and a white robe, and did not carry any weapons.

The generals in two columns, plus the guards next to them, were fully armed.

Before coming, the temple was carefully searched once to ensure safety.

After that, the army remained inside and outside the palace until Wei Xi's arrival.

The security was so tight that even the shaman searched him!

Kang Caien accompanied him, and when he saw that the Western Army was so well guarded, he sighed secretly.

They are suspected of blasphemy in doing this, just for the sake of the overall situation, only to admit it, Kang Caien doesn't want the Western Army to claim to the outside world that the Bodhisattva has defeated the God of Light! (The god of light is the main god of Zoroastrianism)

Now the Western army is rampant, galloping across the Persian plateau, shouting that their bodhisattvas are very powerful.

Listening to the priest's loud prayer in the ancient Persian language, everyone remained solemn.

What the shaman said, only one of the interpreters who accompanied him understood, and when he heard it, it was all a worship of God, and it was also said that today the supreme of the great powers of the East had come with the sincerity of friendship and peace, and he had come to pay homage to the fire and ask the gods to accept his respect.

It is a friendly language, and the translation is not prevented, otherwise it will be deceived to the priest.

One of the priests at the head gave Wei Xi a large silver bottle filled with oil and a gold rod inlaid with firewood, and Wei Xi took it.

At the time of the handover between the two sides, the eyes of the generals on Wei Xi's side were fixed on the priest, and they all pressed the hilt of the sword with their hands!

It was fortunate that the priest's nerves were strong enough and his hands and feet were steady, otherwise if something went wrong, the nervous senior officers would have the urge to draw their swords.

Kang Caien was so nervous that his back was wet!

He breathed a long sigh of relief, everything was going well, Wei Xi stepped forward, put the golden rod into the fire and lit the fire, watched it light the firewood, and then lit the silver bottle and offered it in front of the holy fire. Then he bowed.

A bow!

The officers who knew the inside story and Kang Caien all counted silently in their hearts: one million!

Two bows!

Let's count again: two million!

Three bows!

Very good, three million dollars in hand!

Licheng!

The ritual has been simplified, and it will not be so simple to actually carry it out.

After the completion of the auspicious day, everyone sighed, this bow is really valuable!

Some people were even amazed by the vast magic power of money, which made the Bodhisattva bow!

Wei Xi lingered in the temple for a while, listening to Kang Caien introduce him and his senior officers to the origins of Zoroastrianism in Chinese.

Zoroastrianism, i.e., Zoroastrianism, worships fire, which is sacred to Zoroastrians and represents light and life...... (Brief introduction omitted)

Zoroastrianism was prevalent in the valley of the Two Rivers (Iraq) and present-day Iran at least 1100 BCE, became the state religion of the Persian Empire during the Achaemenid dynasty (550-330 BC), and flourished during the Sassanid Empire (224-651 AD), spreading to vast areas of Central Asia and even China.

Now the life of Zoroastrianism is not good, and after the Arabs come, they suppress Zoroastrianism and make its holy flame as precarious as a candle in the wind.

The arrival of Wei Xi made Zoroastrianism send away the evil wolf at the front door, and the fierce tiger ushered in the back door, which was also not a good bird.

And the reason why Wei Xi agreed to let Zoroastrianism go is because the god of white clothes and food has not yet been defeated, and it is not appropriate to make more enemies.

Going out with Kang Caien, Wei Xi told Kang Caien three things:

"One, the six million mentioned by Kang Caien is a foreign propaganda of one million in military funding, and it cannot be connected with visiting the temple!"

Not only does Wei Xi want to save face, but also to protect Kang Caien from other powerful people who are not good for him... He's so rich, take some out and give everyone a difference.

Don't give? Please go to prison, it will be miserable, Bao Kang Caien even dug out his ancestor's money and handed it over to the prison.

Kang Tseen gratefully accepted his kindness.

"2. Do not take the initiative to recruit believers, and if there is, cancel the protection of Zoroastrianism."

Kang Caien immediately promised not to go out of the temple to recruit believers, of course, they took the initiative to step into the temple and Wei Xi didn't say anything.

"Third, sending a piece of calligraphy to this temple can be regarded as giving them an explanation to the faithful."

Wei Xi waved his hand, the guard stepped forward to send a banner, Kang Caien opened it and looked at it, as if he had been struck by lightning, this is too well written!

"Burn my body, blazing the holy fire, what is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death? For the sake of good and evil, only the light is the cause. Joy and sorrow are dust. Have mercy on my world, and there are many sorrows!! ”
