Chapter 595: Sao Ma

The monk and the imam of Allah are actually good friends?

It sounds strange at first, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Allah wants to gain a foothold in Pegasus, and Buddhism is the dominant religion in the city. Buddhist disciples do not like disputes, so Allah's biggest opponent in Pegasus City is none other than Christianity and Manichaeism, and there is not much conflict between the two.

Yang Shouwen remembers seeing a saying in his previous life that the greatest enemies in the eyes of Allah are Catholics and Christians in Europe.

It is said that the two religions seem to come from the same origin, and later the Catholics won and carried out bloody massacres against Allah. As a result, the two sects formed a blood feud, and they left Jerusalem together, but later they became hostile to each other. Even a series of extremist activities in later generations seem to involve hatred between the two.

Yang Shouwen and his entourage followed the corpse Mirodo to the outside of a mosque.

Corpse Mirodo dismounted, stepped forward and knocked at the door.

After a while, the door opened. Out of it came a bearded old man. He was tall, looking to be nearly 190 tall, wearing a voluminous robe and holding a candle in his hand. The old man recognized the corpse Mirodo, and immediately showed a surprised expression. It's so late, what happened when the corpse Mirodo suddenly arrived?

"Mage, why are you here?"

"Saoma, my brother, I need your help."

Corpse Mirodo spoke fluent Tocharian and looked at the bearded old man in front of him with a solemn expression.

Yang Shouwen and others stood outside the mosque and did not follow. They saw the corpse Mirodo and the bearded old man dancing and talking, and the bearded man also looked over the corpse Mirodo from time to time and fell on Yang Shouwen and the others.

In a moment, the old man opened the door.

Corpse Mi Luoduo beckoned to Yang Shouwen and the others, and then walked into the mosque.

At this time, several middle-aged people dressed in Allah service came out of the temple, leading horses and camels, towards the side door.

"Yang Jun, Sao Ma is a good friend of Lao Qu who has known him for ten years.

Although we have different beliefs, we have a good friendship. This is where Allah is, and even if the rebels invade, they will not dare to make trouble here. ”

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he hurriedly saluted Sao Ma, that is, the bearded imam.

Sao Ma looked at Yang Shouwen and suddenly said, "Yang Jun, you Tang Emperor, can you accept Allah spreading the teachings in the Great Tang Kingdom?" ”

"Huh?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned.

Soma speaks fluently Kannai Tang Yin, so there is no communication problem.

Just when Yang Shouwen was a little confused about Sao Ma's intentions, the corpse on the side said: "Sao Ma, don't embarrass Yang Jun."

Something like spreading doctrine cannot be done overnight, but needs to be done slowly.

In order to spread the teachings, starting from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the white horse crossed to the east, and after more than 500 years of time, it can be regarded as a foothold in the Central Plains. The Tang Dynasty is tolerant of all rivers and has its own extraordinary bearing and mind...... I don't think I'll refuse you to go. However, you have to be prepared, and don't be too anxious about everything. ”

Saoma heard this and nodded.

He smiled apologetically at Yang Shouwen, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Jun don't blame, I'm a little too anxious."

By the way, the old monk said just now, you are in trouble? Do you need my help?

In Tianma City, there are thousands of Allah believers, as long as Yang Jun needs it, I can immediately gather everyone and help Yang Jun. ”

Sauma's eyes burned, and there was even a hint of anticipation.

Yang Shouwen's heart couldn't help but move, and he looked at Sao Ma again.

Using Allah to fight back? This is indeed something that Yang Shouwen had not thought of before, or had considered.

He didn't know how much fighting power the Allah cultists in Pegasus City had, but he knew that as long as he could unite these Allah cultists, it might not be impossible to win. At the same time, he can also use Allah to counteract Caosishka.

Caosishka is a factor of instability!

At least that's what Yang Shouwen thinks.

If he can take out Cao Xishika and take control of Pegasus City, maybe it will bring some different changes to Anxi.

It's just that Yang Shouwen also knows that Sao Ma's help will never be for nothing.

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen had already vaguely guessed Saoma's intentions.

He preached to the Tang Empire...... Any religion needs the support of the government in order to be able to spread, otherwise it can only become a cult. This can be seen in Manichaeism...... As early as the early years of Gaozong, the Manichaean believer Chen Shuozhen rebelled, and was soon suppressed by the government. Since then, the government has severely suppressed Manichaeism.

As a result, Manichaeism eventually became a cult, even if it was later renamed Mingjiao, and even if it assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in establishing the Ming Dynasty, it was always feared by the government.

Saoma apparently understood this, or rather, it was Corpse Mirodo who had reminded him.

That's why he took the initiative to ask for help, hoping that Yang Shouwen could help.

To be honest, Yang Shouwen did not understand the teachings of Allah.

When it comes to religion, Yang Shouwen can be said to be an atheist and has no preferences.

Even if he is dressed as a monk now, he is not really converted to Buddhism. Just let such a religion be introduced to the Central Plains, what will be the result? He didn't dare to confirm it. But he knew that one day, the Church of Allah would be introduced to China.

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen took a deep breath.

"If the Imam of Saoma is willing to help me, I don't know what the conditions are?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Sao Ma's face.

"As I said earlier, I hope that the gospel of Allah will be known to more people...... If one day, we go to Datang, I hope Yang Jun can help me. ”

Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes, glanced at the corpse Mirodo, and then at Mingxiu.

"As long as you can obey the laws of the imperial court, I am willing to introduce the imam to the officials in the imperial court."

Sao Ma Chen thought for a moment, and then looked up at the corpse Mirodo.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the mosque.

Immediately after, one of the cultists ran in and shouted at the horses.

When Sao Ma heard this, a look of anger appeared on his face. He first apologized to Yang Shouwen and others, and then walked out quickly.

Corpse Mirodo said: "The rebels have entered the city. ”

"Is there any movement over there in Caosishka?"

"On the castle side, there was no reaction...... Yang Jun, it seems that you are right, Cao Xishika has collusion with the rebels. ”

After speaking, the corpse Mirodo changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Although Soma is a believer in Allah, the teachings he believes in are very different from those of the Umayyad people. Originally a slave of Khorasan, Persia, he embraced Allah and fled Khorasan to settle in Pegasus. Unlike Wu Maiye Dahuan, Sao Ma is relatively peaceful and yearns for the Tang Kingdom.

He has always wanted to go to the Tang Kingdom to preach, but due to various reasons, he has never been able to make it......

If you can help him, you can gain the respect of the entire Tenma City Allah believers and turn the tide of the war. ”

Yang Shouwen looked at the corpse Mi Luoduo, his eyes flickering.

Corpse Mirodo never thought of leaving Pegasus City, and perhaps from the beginning, he thought of asking Saoma for help.

"Mage, you ......"

"Yang Jun, Lao Ke has lived in Tianma City for twenty years and has become one with the city.

Leaving Pegasus? It's something that the old man has never considered. In the same way, the old man was even more reluctant to see Pegasus City hurt, so he thought of my old friend. He can help you turn the tide of battle, and you can help him make his wish come true.

The interests of the Khorasan people come first, and as long as you are willing to exchange, Lao Qu believes that Sao Ma will never let you down. ”

"Khorasan? Is it a remnant of Persia? I know the granddaughter of Isiai, her people, who seem to be in Khorasan. ”

"Oh?"

Corpse Mirodo was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Yang Jun, Khorasan is not only the remnants of the royal family, but also the aborigines.

However, most of the indigenous people were Persian slaves, and they began to flee Khorasan before Persia was destroyed. And after the fall of Persia, a large number of Persian civilians came to Khorasan with Iheai, which is now the Khorasan people.

Yang Jun, Sao Ma is actually very simple, he doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to be able to get a peaceful life. ”

With that, Corpse Mirodo stood up.

"Yang Jun, it's time to make a choice.

If you're willing to help Saoma, you'll have the support of the 4,000 fanatical followers of Pegasus City, who will protect Pegasus for you...... Of course, you can also choose to decline. But in this way, Pegasus City may be destroyed in the flames of war. ”

Yang Shouwen was silent!

He doesn't have any affection for Pegasus City, so he doesn't quite understand Corpse Mirodo's thoughts.

Pegasus destroyed in battle?

Yang Shouwen doesn't think so...... Although it is unclear what the deal is between Cao Xishka and Bo Lu, the Cao Xi Shi Ka family has been in Pegasus City for a hundred years, and even if Bo Lu is allowed to enter the city, they will not sit idly by and watch the damage to Pegasus City.

But......

He didn't want to hide like a mouse.

Thin dew!

That's his defeat. It's really unwilling to hide like this, and it's really unwilling to think about it.

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen looked at Mingxiu. Mingxiu also frowned, looked at the corpse Mirodo, and then nodded lightly towards Yang Shouwen.

"Master, I still say the same thing, as long as Sao Ma abides by the laws of the imperial court, I can give him proper care."

"That's enough!"

As soon as Corpse Mirodo finished speaking, Saoma entered.

He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Sao Ma, and when he saw Sao Ma's face, he suddenly showed excitement.

It is no wonder that in this era, the Tang Empire is the center of the world.

Countless people admire Huaxia, and Saoma is also one of them. He walked up to Yang Shouwen and said loudly: "Yang Jun, those infidels do not want to take this city, Allah teaches us: those who are attacked have obtained permission to resist, because they will be oppressed. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Shouwen to answer, he turned around and beckoned, signaling the believer to step forward.

Soma took out a sutra from his satchel and read it aloud in Persian.

After hearing this, the believers shouted in unison and departed.

"Yang Jun, when the sun rises, the blood of the pagans will stain the earth red, and the gospel of Allah will shine on Tianma City." (To be continued.) )
