Chapter 227: The Bloody Battle Against Manichaeism (1)

PS: (The book will be completed at the end of the month, and the sequel to the twelve skeletons will be uploaded at the same time, which is not only the sequel to the twelve skeletons, but also a new story, and the genre will be changed to urban, so stay tuned.) )

The Lotus Hall Master Mandala hunched his waist and stayed beside the Manichaean Sect Master Qing Dingtian tremblingly, not daring to breathe. Originally, she was just a small sect elder who did not enter the stream, but thanks to the appreciation of the heavens, she was able to become one of the four great elders of Manichaeism under one person and above ten thousand. In terms of real strength, he is just a second-rate master.

But everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is impossible for a person to have everything in his mind. Mandara was loyal and obedient, and no matter what she asked her to do, she would not refuse, nor would she ask why. It is precisely because of this that she can become the henchman of Qing Dingtian and sit firmly in the position of the elder of Manichaeism.

Qing Dingtian's fingers tapped on the table and said, "Has the Holy Maiden found it?" ”

"The subordinates have sent all the disciples, as soon as there is the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden, they will report to the sect leader immediately."

Qing Dingtian's eyes flashed with cold light: "This means that the Holy Maiden has not yet been found, a group of wastes"

"The subordinates should die, they have failed the Holy Favor of the sect master, and the subordinates will personally lead people to find the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden."

"No need" Qing Dingtian waved his hand and said thoughtfully: "If the Holy Maiden deliberately avoids you, with your mind, it is impossible to find the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden, you go down..."

Mandala hurriedly bowed and bowed, leaving the True Martial Hall of the Manichaean Altar. Qing Dingtian took a sip of tea expressionlessly: "You two will immediately go to the rivers and lakes to find out the whereabouts of the saint, and you will see people in life and corpses in death."

The air rippled like water ripples, and the two men in black appeared, knelt on the ground and chirped, and then disappeared strangely. Qing Dingtian sneered again and again, he was not a nepotistic and ambitious sect leader. The so-called Four Elders are just decorations, four wastes. The reason why he let the four of Mandala be elders at the beginning was for only one purpose, that is, to confuse the Jianghu sect of the two realms.

Manichaeism seems to be huge, with hundreds of thousands of members, but most of them are foolish people, and if the two realms of righteousness and demons have the intention to encircle and suppress, the Manichaean church will collapse overnight. Therefore, Qing Dingtian deliberately showed weakness, so that although the two realms of righteousness and demons did not like Manichaeism, they could not perceive the threat for the time being, and gave Manichaeism a certain amount of time to develop and grow.

In fact. Qing Dingtian's real identity is the second young master of Zoroastrianism in Tubo, who came to the Central Plains at the behest of his father and established Manichaeism. The real purpose of Zoroastrianism is to propagate doctrines, disintegrate the government of the Central Plains from within, and assist the Tubo king Songtsen Gandi to conquer the Central Plains and achieve a unified Tubo Dynasty.

Of course. This qiē is known only to a few people. When Qing Dingtian left the Tibetan Kingdom, he took fifty Zoroastrian masters with him, which was the real elite of Manichaeism. Everyone's martial arts are surprisingly high, if the two realms of righteousness and demons discovered the existence of this group of people, they would never turn a blind eye like they are now, and let Manichaeism continue to grow.

Xu Jun dressed up in disguise. Transfiguring himself as Motihula, he led Niya to the Manichaean altar. As for Jin Huanfeng and the others, they also disguised themselves as Manichaean masters. Follow behind Nya. Xu Jun's purpose is actually very simple, he just wants to find the whereabouts of the nine-tailed demon fox, and then find a way to refine the elixir of immortality by himself.

Although Tan Caimao's body was kept in the underground ice cellar of the Zài Palace, Xu Jun did not intend to put all his chips on the emperor unless it was a last resort. God knows that the Immortal Pill can refine a few at a time, if there is only one, then the Great Qin Emperor will never endure it himself in order to save Tan Caimao. Therefore, he had to make preparations with both hands, first get the elixir of immortality by himself, and then hand over the formula to the current emperor.

Niya lowered her head and said expressionlessly as she walked, "When will you unlock the acupoint of this holy woman?" ”

Xu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, after entering the city, I bought a horse, and I will unlock the acupoint for you." However, although Young Master Ben is not a suspicious person, he can't trust you. So you have to eat a gut-breaking poison that Young Master Ben has specially configured, if you dare to have two hearts, Young Master Ben guarantees that you don't want to live for three days. ”

Niya gritted her teeth and said, "You're so poisonous."

"Where, thank you for the compliment, Young Master Ben just doesn't want to die in Manichaeism for no reason."

Jin Huanfeng grabbed Xu Jun's sleeve, dragged Xu Jun behind him and said, "What do you want to do so close to this demon girl?" Could it be that the thief's heart is not dead? From today onwards, you are forbidden to talk to this demon girl, and if there is anything to tell Miss Ben, Miss Ben will pass the word for you. ”

Xu Jun blinked, a little speechless. He is so close to Niya, he still needs someone to pass on a word, is he tired. But women are like this, with his years of experience in picking up girls, usually the best way at this time is to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and I didn't hear it.

The sky was getting dark, and Xu Jun and his party left the dense forest and embarked on the official road. After walking along the official road for about two hours, I finally came to the city gate. However, by this time the gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Xu Junchong said to the two officers and soldiers guarding the city standing on the city wall: "This soldier brother, we are serious businessmen who do silk business, passing by here, very tired, please trouble the soldier brother to make it convenient, open the city gate, and let us in." ”

The soldiers guarding the city looked Xu Jun up and down and said, "No, my lord has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave this city at night." Wait for you to leave quickly, and then enter the city at dawn. ”

Xu Jun frowned, the surroundings are barren, there is not even a piece of weeds, where can I rest. He gave Wan Yan Zong an angel a look, and Wan Yan Zong hurriedly took out a bag of broken silver and said: "The two soldier brothers don't rest in the middle of the night, it's too hard, this bit of silver, buy some wine for the two soldier brothers to warm up." ”

After Yan Zongtian finished speaking, he threw the silver bag to the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldier who took the silver bag weighed it, and said with a greedy gaze in his eyes: "Seeing that you are quite good at doing things, I will make an exception and let you enter the city, and I will not make an example." ”

The city gate slowly opened, and Xu Jun and his party entered the city in great strides. Xu Jun glanced at the soldiers who were distributing the silver on the city wall, and sighed secretly in his heart, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if these people are the fine work of the barbarians, then at this time, they can seize the city gate. But many things are not up to him, people are born, old, sick and die, and dynasties are the same, this is the law of all things. It can't be changed, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, there will always be a day when it will collapse, and it will be impossible for a prosperous era for thousands of years.

The faint aroma of wine wafted in the air, and Wanyan Zongtian sniffed with his nose and said, "Brother Xu, I have been gnawing dry food every day for the past few days, and the birds have faded out of the young master's mouth. Let's find a place to eat, have a good night's rest, and refresh ourselves before we go. ”

Xu Jun nodded and did not object. If you hurt your body in order to hurry, then even if you rush to Manichaeism, you will only be sent to death. He stepped into a brightly lit restaurant, and as soon as he entered, he heard a group of martial arts people talking: "Damn, Xu Jun's little white face doesn't know where to hide, and Lao Tzu has been looking for more than a month without finding a trace." Zangbao Zhai has already offered a sky-high price, as long as someone finds the formula of the elixir of immortality and hands it over to Zangbao Zhai, they can get 30 million taels of gold. ”

Xu Jun gasped. 30 million taels of gold, even if the Great Qin treasury is estimated to not be able to take out so many taels of silver, Zangbao Zhai is really rich. But. He wanted to refine the elixir of immortality in order to save Tan Caimao, but why did Zangbao Zhai want this elixir formula? Is it possible that you also want to live forever?

He secretly lowered the hat on his head, for fear that people would recognize him. He doesn't care about killing, and he's not afraid of getting into trouble. It's just that although these Jianghu people's martial arts are not high, there are too many of them, and they are inexhaustible like locusts. If his identity is revealed, he will inevitably face endless harassment, and he will not want to eat, sleep, or go to the toilet.

Xu Jun and his entourage hurriedly finished their meals, rested for a night in the inn on the second floor, and as soon as the day dawned, they got up and washed, came to the bazaar to buy some horses and dry food, and drove for ten days to the main altar of Manichaeism.

Xu Jun approached Niya and whispered: "Listen to Little Niangpi, Young Master Ben doesn't want to hurt you, and it doesn't matter what you Manichaean want to do, as long as you obediently listen to Young Master Ben's words, when Young Master Ben finds out the whereabouts of the nine-tailed demon fox, he will naturally give you an antidote." ”

People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Niya nodded helplessly, and Jin Huanfeng, who was not far behind him, said with an unhappy face: "What are you two muttering, didn't Miss Ben tell you to stay away from this demon girl." ”

Xu Jun smiled slightly and didn't care, women are like this, just get used to it. If a woman is not jealous, it can only mean that the woman either has other intentions or has no love.

Nia's eyes narrowed, and there was no expression on her face, so that she didn't know what she was thinking. She took Xu Jun and his party to the foot of the overgrown mountains and said, "The main altar of Manichaeism is here, you come with me."

Xu Jun frowned and said, "The main altar of Manichaeism is here, you shouldn't deliberately lead us to the wrong path and lead us to some ambush circle, right?" ”

Niya snorted disdainfully and said, "If you don't believe in this holy woman, then simply kill this holy woman, why let this holy woman lead the way." ”

"It's not that Young Master Ben doesn't believe you, you people have been brainwashed for a long time, and you can do without the so-called True God Order, Young Master Ben has to be on guard."

Niya glanced at Xu Jun contemptuously and did not speak. She came to a boulder at the base of the mountain, pressed her palm on the center of the stone, and the boulder suddenly made a whimsical sound, and moved to the side, revealing a black hole. Xu Jun narrowed his eyes, and his pupils twitched. I thought to myself: "This Manichaean altar is actually set up underground, and if there is no Niya to lead the way, it is really not easy to find. ”

Below the entrance to the cave are rows of rudimentary stone steps, leading to the ground, I don't know how deep. Niya was the first to take the lead, took out the fire twist, and lit the 10,000-year-old lamps on both sides of the stone wall, and the passage was instantly brightly lit. Xu Jun followed closely behind her, and his right hand was subconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword, guarding against sudden danger at any time.

I don't know why, Xu Jun always has a feeling that something is wrong, but he can't say that something is wrong. He glanced around, suddenly realizing why he was so upset. Since this is the main altar of Manichaeism, it stands to reason that it should be brightly lit all year round, how can it be necessary for the people who enter to light the 10,000-year-old lamps on both sides of the passage by themselves, this is obviously a little wrong, I hope he is suspicious.

Four black-clothed men with grimace masks suddenly appeared with long knives in their hands and said, "Who dares to trespass on the main altar of Manichaeism. ”

"This saintess is here, you can stand down" Niya waved her hand, and the four men in black were stunned for a moment, then nodded and wanted to leave. Xu Jun suddenly said loudly: "Slow, Young Master Ben hasn't allowed you to leave yet, what's the hurry, is it possible to report the news in a hurry?" ”

Niya's face changed drastically, she couldn't figure it out, she was obviously hiding it well, and she didn't show any horses, how did Xu Jun notice that there was fraud. (To be continued......)
