The most troublesome question was fooled, and the next question of this little saintess was actually not easy to answer, so Luo Kaixian had to be cautious.

Ever since the two of them showed up and learned about the "Life Gem", he knew that it would be difficult to guarantee that things would still be his own, if he didn't want to go on a killing spree. So his idea was to keep the "Life Gem" in his hands for a while, at least to study what it would do, because to be able to get an object that an ancient religion valued so much was not destined to be mortal.

Different from ordinary people's cognition, please professional relationship, Luo Kaixian has been exposed to a lot of strange things, such as ancient legends, religious anecdotes, folk anecdotes, most of the time it is some exaggerated and far-fetched artificial fraud, but there are always some things that are not completely groundless, but they are all controlled by powerful governments, and relevant insiders have also been silenced, and occasionally a little truth that circulates has become hearsay.

He had never heard of the existence of the same thing in his later life, and he thought that he was either submerged in the dust of history or hidden by some big force, so he did not doubt the words of the two people in front of him, because it was convenient to confirm that there was no need for the other party to lie.

Just, choose how to exchange? This is a problem.

Luo Kaixian raised his hand and grabbed the half-inch beard on his chin, and said calmly: "There are too many seizures before, and the affairs of this general are complicated, it is difficult to sort out the previous seizures, and it is not known whether the life gems mentioned by the two are still unknown, and now the exchange is just empty talk......

Gulyana and Patrith glanced at each other and saw that they were both a little confused. For a while, they couldn't figure out whether Luo was prevaricating, or whether it was indeed a treasury that needed to be sorted out for a long time, and they had doubts in their hearts but couldn't ask directly, because they were not facing ordinary people, but a powerful general who had overturned many forces—that was not something that the current ancient sect could deal with at will, at least not now.

couldn't tell Luo someone's attitude, the two didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and they had something in their hearts but couldn't communicate in front of Luo Kaixian, an outsider, so they both had the idea of retiring.

It's just that before they spoke, Luo Kai spoke for a moment, and then said: "This matter is postponed for the time being, this general has something to inquire about, I wonder if the two of you can explain your doubts?" ”

Gulyana, a saint, is still young, and her previous courage was leaked, and she didn't dare to speak nonsense, so it was Mama Patris who spoke, "The general has something to do, but it's okay to say it, as long as it's not confidential, the old woman will say everything!" ”

With the other party's words, Luo Kaixian had no scruples, and asked directly: "As far as General Ben knows, since the Green Sect has advanced eastward, your sect has retreated step by step, and now it has lost the believers in the southern plateau (Iranian plateau), it seems that there are only some scattered believers north of the Wuhu River, as a doctrine that has been inherited for thousands of years, has your sect not thought of restoring its former glory?" ”

Well, if it weren't for Luo's own outstanding combat power and a large number of warriors under him, after listening to Luo's words, Gulyana and Patris would have thought about pulling out the dagger on their waists and fighting him to the death.

This kind of talk is really short-exposed, even if Zoroastrianism has declined, but for a believer in a god, this kind of question is still too disrespectful.

Gulyana's veil only covered the part of her eyes, and the exposed head and the skin around her eyes began to glow a faint red, and Patrice's eyebrows were even more wrinkled, obviously very annoyed, but the other party's words were obviously not finished, and she finally suppressed the idea of opening her mouth to refute.

"Angry? Still annoyed? Luo Kaixian looked at the two women in front of him with some playful eyes, he was not worried that words would lead to a war, in fact, he would rather see an enterprising force appear north of Wuhushui, of course, provided that this force did not set its eyes on himself, "General Ben's words may be more direct, but there is no idea of despising God, in the eyes of a certain family, for more than a thousand years, the generations of elders of your sect are incompetent, they have disregarded God's trust and expectations, I wonder how many people still remember the name of the God of Light in the place of origin of your religion? ”

How long has it been since the rulers of Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian religion, have heard such a direct and bitter accusation to their face? Gulyana didn't know, and neither did the elderly Paltris, that it was their duty to tell God's story and spread God's will in the position of propagandists of the faith, but how to expand God's influence more effectively was always an uncontrollable problem.

In the face of blood and interests, too many people gave up the name of God that they had engraved in their hearts, and some of the original believers and even the elders of the church, in order to preserve their own interests or wealth, directly converted to the green religion, all of which were the reasons for the decline of ancient Persian religion.

Gu Liana's experience was not very deep, but Patrice's experience was enough for her to understand the truth of Luo's words, and the anger on her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deep helplessness and confusion.

"General Bartol's words are reasonable, our religion is indeed heading for decline, but this is only temporary, under the light of the God of Light, all heresies will be turned to ashes!" Patris cheered herself up, "It's just that the affairs of my sect can't be pointed at by outsiders, and the general's combat power is strong, I don't know which god you believe in?" Would you like to honor my Sect of Light? ”

Luo Kaixian was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "Ben will believe in a god who controls time and space, although I don't know his name, but I know his power and mystery, as for the God of Light that your sect believes in, Ben will at least maintain basic respect." ”

For the people of Central and Western Asia in this era and even for a long time to come, the unbeliever is terrible and shameful, so Luo has to be careful with his words, as for the god who believes in time and space, it is not that he is making it up, he really believes that there is an incomprehensible existence who arranged all this for himself, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration to call that existence a god.

"A god who controls time and space?" Mama Patris asked in confusion, and Gulyana beside her glittered with lake-green eyes.

"Yes," since a little "secret" was revealed, Luo Kaixian didn't mind making it whole, "Time is a flowing river, space is the foundation of the existence of all things, he can appear at any point, and control the rules in it, with incredible great power." ”

"Oh...... God is above! In a trance, Patris woke up from Luo's description, sighed and immediately prayed and repented to the goal of her faith, and Gulyana, who had never spoken again, had a somewhat ignorant expression, and the beauty that the veil could not hide also looked uncertain.

Time and space, light and flame, all kinds of forces, in the eyes of believers, that is the realm controlled by the gods, not an existence that mortals can touch, but it does not mean that they cannot guess the strength of the gods in their hearts based on their own cognition, no matter how you look at it, light and darkness correspond, what is the constraint of time and space?

After a long while, Mama Patris recovered and asked in a more respectful manner than before, "Dear General Bartol, I agree with what you say about the current situation of my sect, but ...... When you mention this, do you want us to preach in Lingzhou? ”

Being able to ask such a straightforward question is not in line with the old lady's original intention, but in the face of a straightforward general like Luo Kaixian, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to go around in circles, she can only choose to say something straightforward.

This kind of questioning just echoed Luo Kaixian's habit, and he simply stated his intentions directly, "Missionary? No, not exactly...... To be precise, General Ben hopes that your Sect can be stronger, preferably able to fight against the flood of the Green Sect, and Lingzhou can have one more ally. ”

"Allies?" Ancient Persian religion is a monotheistic sect, which excludes other gods, as a religious person, not a political force, Patrith felt a little unfamiliar with this word, and after repeating it, she said with some confusion: "General, most of my religion is still north of Wuhushui, thousands of miles away from Lingzhou, and it is difficult for the most allies to take care of each other. The old woman was more interested in spreading the will of the god of light, and I wonder what General Bartol thinks of the Green Religion and the Buddhism of the Eastern Taoists and the bald heads? ”

This is to the point, after sighing from the bottom of his heart, Luo Kaixian is still straightforward, "General Ben does not reject any religion, whether it is your religion or Eastern Taoism, bald Buddhism, in fact, if it weren't for the Green Sect disciples to mention any holy war at every turn, a certain family would have no objection to the Green Sect, of course, General Ben doesn't like their practice of always kowtowing and worshipping!" ”

"General Ben welcomes any religion that exhorts people to do good to be stationed in Lingzhou, provided that they abide by the laws and institutions of Lingzhou, after all, what is divine is to the gods, and what is mortal is to the world, including all those who preach. Mama Patrice, do you understand what General Ben meant? Luo Kaixian hopes that Lingzhou in the future will not be a dead land where no one comes and goes, and the introduction of religion is only a part, especially in the face of a non-Oriental native religion, it is still necessary to ring the alarm bell in advance.

"It's not for the old woman and the saint to call the shots!" Awakening from the idea of leading the resurgence of the ancient Persian religion, Mama Paltrius calmed down a little, and after a negative sentence, she went on to explain: "Whether it is to establish allies or spread the will of the gods to new regions, it will take time for many elders in the sect to be united. ”

"That's right, time ......" Luo Kaixian did not underestimate the other party without decision-making power, but appreciated the old woman's prudence, "There is also patience and will!" The general talked about the advantages of your religion and Lingzhou as allies, Guijiao does not have a strong military force against the Green Religion, and can select talents to be trained under the general, and the general needs a large number of talents to build Lingzhou, for example, the construction of water conservancy requires proficient professionals, it is said that Guijiao has a sage who built Kannazi (1), which is exactly what the general needs......"

"Water control? Kanaz? Patrith nodded thoughtfully, "Understood, General Bartol!" When the weather warms up in the spring, I will personally lead the people back to Bukhara to discuss the matter with the elders, and the Holy Maiden Gulyana will stay in Lingzhou in the hope that the general will take care of her. ”

"Good!" Luo Kai clapped his hands first.
