Two hundred and ninety-eight, you say no, no, no?
The Zoroastrian people didn't dare to say the reason for attacking the Xing Walker Tower in the first place, which made Helian Chang even more suspicious that Tan Invite Yu was telling the truth.
The right protector shook off his red robe and said in a deep voice, "We have never grabbed any elixir, if I really have this elixir, why don't our sect leaders take it ourselves?" ”
Tan Invite Yu was categorical, "Because there is only one elixir in the world, and it needs to be nourished by the blood of the worshipper for twenty years before it can take effect." Xingzhilou is unwilling to exchange human life for immortality, so it has been shelved away. I didn't expect it to be stolen by you! ”
The Right Protector snorted coldly, "Ridiculous. I've been doing my best in Great Xia for decades, how can you discredit it with a few malicious words? Your Majesty, this woman slandered the Divine Cult and deserved to be executed! ”
Helian Chang didn't move, he shook his head and thought for a while, "You both have your own opinions, I don't know who to believe." What evidence do you have for each of you? ”
The red-robed envoy said angrily, "What doesn't exist in the first place, how can you prove that there isn't!" ”
Tan Invite Yu was not in a hurry at this time, "If it weren't for the elixir, how would this palace be willing to exchange it for the jade seal of the country?" If the right protector insists on not admitting it, can you dare to let Emperor Xia search your altar? ”
The right protector was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Tan Inviteyu's purpose was for planting such a false accusation.
He flatly refused, "The altar is a holy place for my religion, how can you offend you?!" ”
Tan Yuxing's eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of holy land, I think you are afraid that the elixir will be searched out, right?" Emperor Xia, with the respect of the emperor, led people to search the altar, what is offensive? ”
Tan Yuyu took out Yun Daosheng's method of confusing the public when he was arguing, and forced him to say word by word, "Could it be that your sect leader will be more noble than Emperor Xia?" ”
Looking at Helian Chang's gradually cold face, the right protector and the red-robed envoy didn't know how to answer.
Helian Chang's tone was already full of murderous intent at this time, "It seems that Zoroastrianism thinks very highly of itself!" ”
He was bewitched by Tan Yuyu, and he only wanted to find the elixir, "Whether you agree or disagree today, I will search the altar!" Someone! Helian Chang beckoned, "Let the commander of the forbidden army take the men and horses and escort these people to the altar." ”
Tan Zhaoyu had no intention of resisting, and even suggested, "Emperor Xia might as well bring a few hounds, the elixir has a unique smell, if there are hounds, it should be found soon." ”
Tan Zhaoyu said a lot of words without blushing and without a heartbeat, but in fact, only one sentence was true, that is, the Zoroastrian Sect had a treasure in the altar of Tongwan City.
This is not what Yu Yu guessed, but the bamboo slip she got on the top of the snowy mountain was engraved with the Western god at the end. Since there is the West, there must be three other parties.
Horseshoe Mountain Tan Invite Rain can't go back for a while, so he can only find several other places first to make up for some losses. The Xia Dynasty had such a close relationship with Zoroastrianism that if the altar here was not a shrine, it would not be believed.
When Tan Invite Yu said that he wanted to use a hunting dog, the face of the red-robed envoy and the right protector became very unsightly in an instant.
They really don't have an elixir. But in the secret room of the altar, there are indeed things that cannot be seen.
Zoroastrianism has collected a lot of treasures in Tongwan City over the years, and some of them are inconvenient to carry, so they are all left in the secret room of the altar.
If ordinary people look for it, they will definitely not find it, after all, the mechanism of this secret room is very secretive. But if there are hounds......
When Tan Invite Yu was in the palace of Zhangye, he asked Yun Daosheng in detail about the situation of Zoroastrianism.
Although Yun Daosheng didn't know much, he at least knew that they believed in blood, fire, crescent moon, and sacred cows.
Therefore, when Tan Invite Yu described the impossible thing of the elixir, he casually said that he needed blood to feed.
How did she know that her casual remarks had become the key to Helian Chang's confidence in the elixir.
Others don't know, but Helian Chang knows it very well. Every time Zoroastrianism sacrificed the blood and life of the virgin. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now he was deeply told by Tan Yuyu that the blood was used to raise Dan.
Invite Yu didn't know that her unintentional words persuaded Emperor Xia, she only knew that the Zoroastrian people believed that the ox that had been worshiped by incense would have the power of purification after the blood taken out after the old age died.
Therefore, Invite Yu suspects that the blood mixed with soil on Horseshoe Mountain should be ox blood.
The snow mountain will purify the land with ox blood, and it must be the same here. As long as they used blood, it would be good for the hounds to smell it.
Tan Invite Yu and Zimo were escorted and followed Emperor Xia all the way to the deep palace. It wasn't until Emperor Xia asked someone to open an entrance to the tunnel that Ying Yu couldn't help frowning.
The altar is actually underground.
has been locked up for ten years, if there is any place that Invite Yu hates the most, it is undoubtedly the underground palace, which is simply a shadow that cannot be dissipated.
Zimo looked at Invite Yu at this time, and a look made Invite Yu feel a lot more at ease. At this time, she was not allowed to retreat, so she could only endure it.
Helian Chang was led by two attendants with torches, and descended the stone steps to the bottom. One of the chamberlains twisted on the stone wall with a familiar way, and I don't know if it touched some mechanism, and two rows of fire candles lit up on the walls of the entire underground palace, illuminating the road ahead.
Seeing that Helian Chang's chamberlain is so familiar with the way, it is obvious that he often comes here. Invite Yu was a little uncertain in his heart, did the Fire Worship Church hide things in the places where Emperor Xia often goes? Isn't that risky?
It was too late for her to change her words now, so she simply didn't think about it, and just stared carefully at the attendant who led the way all the way, for fear of missing any of his small operations.
The aisle of this dungeon is not too narrow, and it looks like about three people can walk side by side.
Except for the entrance reinforced with a single bluestone slab, the rest of the place is smooth white, and it should be made of white clay like the wall of Tongwancheng.
The fire candles on the walls are in the shape of bronze bull heads. The cow's forehead is engraved with a crescent moon, and its eyes and mouth are painted blood-red. Let what should have been a simple cow face look more like a bloodthirsty monster.
Apart from these candles, there is no decoration on the walls.
The miserable white walls were illuminated by the candles, shaking the shadows of passers-by. As soon as people move, the shadows change and distort with them, which makes people's hearts hairy.
Invite Yu thought that such a hidden altar was built in the underground palace, and he had to go through a few mechanisms, or there was a fork in the road or something. But it turned out that she was overthinking.
Except that the aisle of the dungeon is a little too long, they can be said to be walking straight ahead.
Halfway through, Helian Chang was physically exhausted. The two personal attendants beckoned, and immediately got on the back and lifted Helian Chang up. Fortunately, the corridor of this underground palace is high enough, otherwise Ling Yu suspects that Helian Chang will have to lie down and pass.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I entered a palace.
When I arrived here, the sense of disobedience that I had faintly felt before inviting rain became more and more obvious.
Obviously, they have built an underground palace for Zoroastrianism so generously. Why is this altar so small?
Just a dozen people entered, and there was a feeling that they couldn't toss their hands and feet. Even the forbidden army led by Helian Chang couldn't all come in, so they could only wait in the fairly spacious corridor.
Invite Yu frowned and looked around, what was wrong?
