Chapter 117: The Castle (Part II)
Ah Ghost scratched his head and said, "It may be that oil lamp is doing tricks." ”
Yin Feng showed a rare smile, "You are very smart, Master really didn't look at the wrong person." Not bad! Indeed, it was because of the oil lamp. It turned out that the princess was a holy daughter of Zoroastrianism in the Median kingdom before marriage, and her master was the leader of Zoroastrianism, and she was also the most powerful magician in history. This oil lamp is the treasure of Zoroastrianism, according to legend, it was refined from the holy fire, and has been kept in the altar of the archmaster, which is not only full of organs, but also full of various forbidden charms set by previous sect masters, not to mention that ordinary people cannot enter, even magicians who are a little shallow in the way will be burned to ashes as long as they get close to the altar. The princess, who was responsible for the happiness of the Medes people, married to the kingdom of Babylon and saved the lives of thousands of people, which moved the head of the sect, and in recognition of her contribution to the people, he gave her the oil lamp as a dowry, hoping to relieve the pain of homesickness when she was lonely, and at the same time ordered that all saints were not allowed to marry in the future, and violators should be burned at the stake, which highlighted the unique existence of the princess among the many saints, and this canon has continued to this day. ”
It dawned on the tower that the rule that the Zoroastrian saints were not allowed to marry came from this.
So the oil lamp left the altar and followed the princess to the kingdom of Babylon, where he had the magic that whoever had mastered the right method could summon the gods in the oil lamp. The power of the lamp god is boundless, and he can help his master fulfill all his wishes, and those kings who are in power and call for wind and rain are nothing compared to him. Yin Feng's eyes lit up, and he was obviously full of longing for the magic lamp.
"It would be nice if I could have a magic lamp like this!" Ah Ghost was fascinated and longing.
"Yes, there is the demeanor of a teacher." Yin Feng looked at this disciple whom he particularly favored with appreciative eyes, and continued to tell the story, "The underground of the Hanging Garden was originally an ancient battlefield, and a large number of dead soldiers were not exceeded, and over time they became unjust spirits. The unjust spirits were so angry that their homes were disturbed for no apparent reason that they tore down all the pillars they had built at night, hoping to scare off the ignorant humans. With the deterrence of the god of lights, these unjust souls no longer dare to do anything wrong, so the hanging garden will be built smoothly. ”
Is there really a god in this world? Although the tower is not sure, but it is not completely denied, some supernatural things have not been seen with their own eyes, it does not mean that there must be none, the Chinese people do not worship Guanyin Bodhisattva very much? Even the Taoist patriarch Taishang Laojun is also a famous immortal. And so on, it is not surprising that there are gods in foreign countries.
The news of the reappearance of the magic lamp somehow spread, and immediately aroused the covetousness of magicians from all over the world, and in order to get the magic lamp, they led their own country's army to attack the country of Babylon in turn. The tigers were invincible to the wolves, and one day the once-prosperous Babylonian Empire fell, and the Hanging Gardens were in ruins. The magicians dug into the ground, but no one could find the magic lamp, and he disappeared without a sound. Yin Feng sighed with emotion, and his thoughts seemed to return to that era of turbulence and heroism.
Knowing that this old guy is not his own colleague, Tie Ta is still deeply attracted by his story, the princess is a great hero, just like Wang Zhaojun of China, which is really admirable.
"Master, what happened later?" Ah Ghost was also fascinated by it.
"Ghost, do you know who the ancestor of our corpse chaser sect is?" Yin Feng asked him with a smile.
Ah Ghost really didn't know this time, and looked at the master expectantly.
"It's the prime minister who built the hanging garden." Yin Feng said proudly, "He didn't leave immediately after burying the oil lamp in the ground that day, but secretly hid and observed. At night, many unjust spirits suddenly appeared on the construction site, green and shining like fireflies flying in the air, and they swarmed up, ready to knock down dozens of pillars that had been built during the day. At this moment, a puff of green smoke rose from the ground, and transformed into a huge god in mid-air, beating those unjust souls like mosquitoes, and sternly warning them not to come out to make trouble in the future. The unjust spirits were frightened by the lamp god, and quickly scattered like rats, and peace returned to the construction site. The prime minister hid there and trembled, he had lived most of his life, where had he ever seen such a strange thing? But what was even more amazing was still to come, when suddenly the lamp god shrugged his nose and exclaimed excitedly, 'It smells so good! I ran to the kitchen and ate a basket of steamed buns left over from dinner. He threw the steamed buns into his mouth one by one, and ate more than a hundred as if he were eating peanuts, and after eating, he patted his stomach unsatisfied, and turned into a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into the ground. In order to repay the kindness of the lamp god, the prime minister instructed the kitchen to prepare more steamed buns every day and put them there, and when he went to see it the next day, there were only smooth plates left. From then on, the prime minister developed a strong interest in magic, and after the construction of the Hanging Garden, he resigned and devoted himself to studying magic. ”
Ah Ghost said with admiration: "The high-ranking official Houlu can't stop Master Zu's determination to learn magic, he is really a great person." ”
"There are many talents in the corpse expulsion sect, so why not only the grandfather? For example, the sixteenth sect leader Saddam and the thirty-fourth sect leader Hamarafi are among the best, but it is the forty-fifth sect leader Hua Xiong who really makes the corpse expulsion sect famous. In fact, this sect was not called the Sect of Corpse Exorcision at the beginning, but called the Cult of the Evil Wind, because the most powerful ability of the sect leader was to blow a gust of evil wind in the flat ground, causing the enemy to be unconscious in an instant. ”
"Evil winds? Master, why haven't I seen you do it? Ah Ghost asked puzzled.
Yin Feng didn't answer Ah Ghost's question, but asked him instead, "What do you think of the power of our three great masteries of the Corpse Exorcism Sect?" ”
"The three great teachings of this religion are to drive out corpses, refine corpses, and tame corpses. Chasing the corpse is to send the corpse of the soul back to the hometown for burial, the corpse refining is to boil the corpse oil like now, the most powerful thing is to tame the corpse, and the fierce zombie is domesticated into a puppy as obedient, and finally used by me. "A ghost is like a treasure.
"Not bad! One zombie can kill countless people, but what about ten hundreds? Even in a head-to-head confrontation with the army, we have nothing to fear, isn't that much more powerful than that evil wind? Yin Feng said solemnly, "It's better to make up your mind to give up completely than to waste your time and energy on magic that is on the verge of obsolescence." ”
This approach is very correct, and Tieta also agrees, although this master and apprentice are not good birds, and there will definitely be a battle later, it does not mean that everything they do is undesirable, and they can find something useful for themselves from the enemy, which is very helpful for a person's growth.
"Master, you really have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist." Ah Ghost admired it so much that he threw himself to the ground.
"It's not my credit." Yin Feng laughed.
"Which predecessor's feat was it?"
"Ghost, did you know that there is a famous empire in the far east?"
"Of course I know, is it the Persian Empire?"
"It's not! It is the Chinese Empire, which is much more powerful than the Persian Empire. ”
After talking for a long time, he actually mentioned Huaxia, could it be that the Chinese people passed on the Oriental mastery here? The more Tie Tower listened, the more interesting he felt, if these two people were not extremely evil, he really didn't want to kill them!
"China opened a great Silk Road, starting from their country and heading west through the Gobi Desert, through Persia to the Roman Empire. From then on, trade between the East and the West flourished like never before, which also gave the bandits along the way an opportunity, and a new industry was born, and it was doing well. Ghost, do you know what it is? "As soon as there is a chance, Yin Feng does not forget to test his disciples.
"Do you need to ask? Fools know it's a dart game. Iron Tower said in his heart.
"It's supposed to be a dart game!" Ah Ghost thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes, it's a dart game. In order to ensure the safety of their personal and property, the merchants handed over the goods to the dart bureau for escort. Such a good opportunity to make money will definitely not be missed by the Cult, and the forty-fourth sect leader Hutchiz set up a Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, with himself as the head of the dart, and some of his disciples as dart masters, and some as executioners. Friends on the road know that this dart game is the property of the cult, who would dare to fight its idea? The Xiongfeng Dart Bureau soon became the leading boss in the same industry, and the gold, silver and money also made a lot of money. Yin Feng is full of praise for this senior.
"Master, what happened later?"
"Later...... Later, a major event occurred that changed the fate of the corpse exorcism. Yin Feng's expression became serious again.
Ah Ghost stared at the master nervously, and kept wondering in his heart: "Is this great event a blessing or a curse?" ”
"Suddenly, one day, a guest came to the dart board, in his thirties, extremely elegant, very well-dressed, holding a folding fan in his hand. The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the guest said loudly: "There is a big deal, I don't know if you dare to accept it?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The Xiongfeng Dart Bureau is second to none in the industry, and there is no business that we dare not take." ''Good!'' I didn't come to the wrong place. The guest said lightly, "10,000 taels of gold, do you dare to take it?" The shopkeeper gasped, 10,000 taels of gold? I heard you right! Since its establishment, the dart bureau has really not taken over such a big business, so I have to say with a smiling face: 'Wait a while, I'll go and ask the head of the dart.' Haziz was very happy after listening to the shopkeeper's report, and waved his hand and said, "Pick up!" Why don't you pick it up? The commission of 10,000 taels of gold is 1,000 taels, and no matter how good the business is, it will take a year to earn it back. With that, he went to the counter to greet the guests personally. 'I am the hussar general's master Dai Yi, this gold is the salary of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border pass, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise not only will I not be able to pay the difference, but you will also be unable to get rid of it. The guest solemnly explained. "Don't worry, I will take my life as a guarantee, and it will be delivered smoothly." Haziz patted his chest and reassured. 'Good! It is worthy of being the first dart game in the world, then I will set up a wine bureau at the border to wait for the driver. Dai Yi opened the folding fan with a bang, looked up to the sky and laughed and walked away. The attentive shopkeeper found that there was not a word on the fan except for a burning flame. ”
