Autumn of 1093 in the Tang calendar.

The northern frontier of the imperial kingdom is already full of snowflakes, and the yellow leaves are also flying on both sides of the river. The old Huai Town, which is located in the southwest border, is still hot, and there are many people wearing short-sleeved sweat shirts under the locust trees.

Today is the twenty-first day of September, and there are six days left before the frost falls. The calendar hanging on the wall of the camel grocery store reads: Wu Wu Day, Twenty-eight Quarters, Worship, Travel, and Decorate the Wall, Avoid Marriage, Open the Market, and Dig Wells.

For many people, 365 days is an ordinary day. For others, 365 days is an extraordinary day.

And September 21, 1093, for Lao Huai Town, is destined to be an extraordinary day, which should be remembered.

From Nanxiongguan to Laohuai Town, there is only a thirty-mile-wide wasteland, and there is no road between the two, but there are more people walking, and there is a road. It's just that this road is very narrow and rugged, no more than half a meter wide, and half of the journey is in the mud.

There were about twenty people in the group, all covered in black robes, and their bodies were tightly wrapped, but the swords on their backs were clearly shaking. None of them rode on a single roof, they all walked forward without saying a word, and the distance between each of them was two feet five, which happened to be the best distance for sword attacks.

The wasteland is only thirty miles wide, but hundreds of miles long, whether it is Nanxiong Pass or looking at the wasteland in Laohuai Town, it can be regarded as vast. There are also a lot of demonic beast poisons growing on this land, and this is also a blessed place for low-level warriors to come and train.

But it's definitely not safe, not to mention the fact that the sun never sets on the jungle is just around the corner, and it's still a place that humans want to conquer. In the depths of the jungle, it is still a forbidden place for humans.

At sunset, the sky is full of sunshine, and birds are chirping, calling their wives and children to return to their nests. A group of black-robed people knocked on the door of Laohuai Town, in fact, Laohuai Town has never had a door, but there are really not many people from Nanxiong Pass at sunset.

The black-robed men stood directly in the courtyard of the Viennese priest, looking at the place where a cross was erected and the words "prayer house" were spelled out from branches. It was both the courtyard of Vienna and his church, and since there were few parishioners in the whole town, he could only call the church in his mouth a prayer house.

"How can there be a Creation God Cult here?" the leader of the black robe was greatly surprised.

The others lifted the brim of their black hats slightly and looked at the huge cross that had been erected with a white face. If you use abstract imagination, you can still see that the clubhouse made of rough stone is in the style of a church.

"The Creator Church's dedication to evangelization is even stronger than ours. I don't know who the unlucky priest inside will be. ”

The blind bear walked out of the administrative building with an axe and light armor, and when he saw this group of people looking coldly at the neighbors opposite, he had a bad feeling.

"Who are you? Do you want to stay in a hotel? Thirty meters ahead, there is the most luxurious inn in town, where you can gamble two. The blind bear's tone was very calm, and his voice was very soft.

"Who are you?" asked the black-robed leader, Mai Bim.

"I am the mayor of my town, and I am also the head of the police office and the head of the tax section. The blind bear struck the light armor with an axe.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mayor Bear. I am Mai Bim, the apologetic envoy of the five elements under the throne of the Manichaean Venerable. All the cults in your town have been requisitioned, and you call all the people in the town to obey the orders of the town. Macbie's tone was firm and decisive, and his attitude was arrogant.

If the camel or the Viennese priest were here, they would have known who Macbien was and what the Five Elements Envoy was. It's a pity that he met a bear blind, a man who gave everything for Lao Huai Town and built a wasteland into the scale it is today, but he just can't read a few words, has little contact with Manichaeism, and he doesn't know it.

The blind bear laughed: "Although the old bear is only the head of a remote town, he has also received imperial documents for the record. You Manichaeism is not the state religion, and your Mingzun has no position or quality, so why should you expropriate it? Where did you have the courage to requisition it?"

Mai Bien's eyes became sharp, the three southwestern provinces, the forces are intricate, but if you want to say who is the strongest, it must be Manichaeism. There were still people who dared to roar at him.

The black robe was lifted open, and a pale and bloodless hand was stretched out. This is a hand that asks for life, and the souls of the dead in this hand are not a thousand, but eight hundred.

The hand was grasped on the round shield, and with a muffled sound of the bell, the blind bear was repelled seven or eight steps, his qi and blood surged, and his throat was sweet.

Mai Bin snorted lightly, he didn't expect the mayor of a small town to be able to pick him up without being harmed.

"I underestimated you. With your skills, you can also serve as a regimental brigade commander in the Imperial Army, but you will nest in this town, and it seems that you are also a person with a story. As long as you join my Manichaeism, it will give you all the power you want. ”

The blind bear took a deep breath and looked at the black-robed people with fear. It is not easy for these Manichaeans to come here, this Mai Bim's strength is unfathomable, at least he is a strong man above the Star Palace Stage.

Seeing that the blind bear's face was cloudy, Mai Bin continued: "Six months ago, did Baron Xu Qi appear in this town?"

"Yes, he also requisitioned the town's administrative building as a temporary residence. ”

"What about them?"

"Into the mountains where the sun never sets. ”

"Can you come out?"

"I don't know. The mountains where the sun never sets are too big and too dangerous. Every day, people enter through the town, but less than one out of ten people come out. ”

Macbin's gaze is like the autumn sun, full of aggression. "We have received a message from the Baron that he has come out and returned here. Why are you lying?"

The blind bear's face remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said, "We didn't see it, you can ask anyone in the town." ”

Macbie's gaze was like a knife, slashing at the blind bear one by one. He didn't see the slightest flaw in the blind bear's body, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He had no intention of killing the blind bear, in any case, he was also an official appointed by the imperial state, which was sacrosanct, and it was a small matter to kill him, but a major matter to provoke the emperor and the state. In recent years, the empire has been favoring the Creator God Cult, and now Manichaeism has been oppressed by the Creation God Religion and has had to shrink its religious affairs. At this time, he did not want to offend the nerves of the empire.

"The southwest region is Manichaean, and it is the place where the god of light shines, and the demons of the creation god religion are absolutely not allowed. From now on, this is our Manichaean synagogue. ”

The black-robed man rushed in fiercely and savagely, kicked the wooden door carefully made by the Vienna priest, cut down the ten shelves in the courtyard, and set it on fire.

The Vienna priest was cooking in the back, and when he heard the commotion, he came out, and when he saw the Manichaeans desecrating the cross, he was furious, and his hands were folded, and a bright light fell from the sky, striking the black-robed man who was demolishing all the creationist religions in the courtyard.

The bright light was like a sword, and the Manichaeans who were hit tried to dodge, but they were frozen in place, watching their bodies melt away in the bright light.

"This is the place of the Creation God Cult, not a place where you Manichaeans can be presumptuous. ”

When the second glare of the Viennese priest came, he was seized by a pale hand, and the glare disappeared in this hand, and not even the slightest hair on his hand was injured. Father Vienna's pupils shrank, as a pure priest, he practiced divine arts, and divine arts have powerful auxiliary skills, but they lack aggressiveness. The bright light just now is one of the few God's Wrath that can be used to attack.

God's Wrath has two layers, immobilizing and abling, and those hit will turn to ashes nine times out of ten. And such a powerful attack skill was actually caught by one hand, and the ultra-high ablation temperature did not hurt the bare hand in the slightest.

"Who are you?" Vienna was surprised, but his anger was not extinguished.

"I am Mai Bin, the envoy of the Five Elements under the Ming Venerable Throne. "MacBin looked at Father Vienna like a hunter looks at his prey.

Vienna was even more surprised. Macabi is not a small person, but a big man in Manichaeism, and he is also a young Zhuang sect that has risen rapidly in Manichaeism in recent years.

In the Cult of Creation, it is tightly organized, but there are not many levels. The Pope is the worldly spokesman of the creator God, the most exalted, and below him are the cardinals, the so-called cardinals, then the ordinary bishops, then the priests, then the deacons.

Manichaeism, on the other hand, is much more complex, with the Ming Zun being the equivalent of the Pope, the son of the God of Light, who can exercise divine authority on his behalf. Under Mingzun, there are the protector of the Dharma King, the town sect scattered people, the left and right messengers, the five elements flag master, and then there are the altar master, the helmsman, the hall master, in addition, there are saints, holy sons, elders These titles of unknown rank.

The papal succession of the Creator Church is peaceful, recommended among the many cardinals. And every Manichaean Venerable was killed. Contemporary Mingzun, before becoming Mingzun, was just a rudder master. He was originally a puppet introduced by the previous kings and the left and right envoys through compromise. But this generation of Mingzun was scheming, not only became the real Mingzun, but also killed the entire Manichaeism to a river of blood, even so, Manichaeism did not decline, but flourished.

In the words of the contemporary Mingzun: The Holy Religion will only spread in blood and fire. After he held the real power, he set up the second division of the eldest and youngest, and also set up another five-element Yangjiao hall outside the five-element banner. Those who can serve as the envoys of the Five Elements Yang Sect are all Mingzun's henchmen.

"Who are you?"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Although the voice was light and fluttering, there were no fireworks, but it made Macbin wait. The black-robed cultist behind him had already pulled out half of the horizontal knife, and the cold sword light shook like a starlight in the sky.

The camel and Xuanyuan Qingyu walked slowly, followed by Tu Scar and Li eating people.

"Bao Zhengtai is a family teacher, I don't know what my predecessors call me. Macbie couldn't see through the camel and said with a little respect.

"Seeing that your Five Elements Thunderbolt hand training just now is pure, with the tradition of your lineage, presumably Bao Zhengtai has returned to the embrace of the God of Light. ”

When Mai Bien heard this, he was not angry but happy, and he could know his own things so clearly, it was either an enemy of the master or a friend, no matter what kind of person he was, he was worth being happy about.

"You haven't answered me yet, who are you?"
