Sand, in front of you is the yellow sand in front of you.

The wind swept up and the yellow dragon raged the heavens and the earth, blowing so that people could not open their eyes.

On a long slope sheltered from the wind, a team of nearly 100 people was stationed, riding horses and wearing red clothes, and a large area of blood red appeared in the middle of the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions.

In the distance, a figure appeared from the northeast, galloping on a horse.

After a short time, the man jumped down from his horse, knelt on one knee, rested his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed his head and respectfully said, "Priest, it has been discovered that the Manichaeans are holding a sacrifice ten miles away. ”

The old man who was called the priest at the head wore a hood with a red background and gold rimmed, rode a high-headed horse with silver scales, looked into the distance and shouted: "Very good, listen to the order, follow me!" ”

The five old men behind him stretched out their right arms to touch their shoulders and said, "Yes!" Then a hundred people shouted in unison.

The sound of horses' hooves set off a burst of wild sand.

Ten miles away, on the large open space on the mountainside of the long rock peak, this place is backed by the mountain range, and the east side is an endless cliff, and the four sides are surrounded by stone walls built by the stone rock and the mountain, like a labyrinth.

In the center of the clearing was an altar with hundreds of people standing around, and in the center of the altar was a young woman and a man, dressed in gold silk and silk clothes, with countless silver rings and beads all over her body, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.

I saw her holding a golden cup in one hand and placing it on the altar, and then she bit her fingers and dripped a few drops of blood into the cup.

Seeing this, the man beside her knelt down facing the altar and said aloud: "The Supreme Light King, the Everbright World, and His saints. I didn't see how he yelled, but the sound came to everyone's ears and trembled very clearly.

In addition to the women, everyone around him also knelt down with him and repeated his recitation in unison.

The man read again: "Busy with your Dharma King, Mingzun Xu Zhi, all saints Xu Hui." ”

But before everyone could speak again, a sentry rushed from the direction of the entrance of the middle of the mountain and said in a panic: "Sect Master, it's not good, there is a team of people and horses under the mountain attacking this side, it's very close!" ”

The man stood up, and saw that he was dressed in a dark robe, looking like a fifty-year-old, and his long hair was growing.

Twelve people behind him stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, but the people from the Sect have found here?" Are they really trying to force me to death? ”

These twelve were Manichaean Muja, the apostles of the Dharma Teachings.

Someone laughed three times from above, and said to the people below, "Yes, today is the time when your Manichaeism will be destroyed." ”

Everyone looked up, and the six figures on the rock peak were none other than the priest and the five people behind him.

As if they had entered a no-man's land, the six of them flew down from more than ten zhang rock peaks and landed beside the altar.

The man snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that Zoroaster would let the high priest come from afar with the five holy envoys, and the masters of the sect poured out, it seems that they are determined to exterminate my sect." But now it's not the same as it used to be, but I'm going to see how I slaughter my Manichaeans. ”

The high priest sneered and said to the man: "Mani, the sect leader has long known that you have created and written the "Two Sect Sutras" by yourself, and within a few years, you will be able to break through the ten layers of internal strength and enter the innate world. You are counting on yourself to draw with me in the innate realm, and the twelve Muja will defeat the five holy envoys again, and the abacus is very good. But look at it, what are the five holy envoys behind me? ”

After saying that, the five people behind him slowly rose out of thin air, floating a foot on the ground,

The Manichaeans who knelt down were amazed that these people could also perform the miracles performed by the sect leader!

Mani shook his head with a bitter smile helplessly: "It's all the innate days, I should have thought that with the five holy envoys, it is extremely close to breaking through the innate nature." ”

The high priest looked at Mani proudly: "I advise you to honestly hand over the "Two Sects Sutra", and then let your sect worship under my sect, after all, your teachings and hearts are all taught by yourself, and it is justified to return to the source." If not, hundreds of your followers will die today! ”

Mani's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a decisive look, and he also said proudly: "You are teaching martial arts at the fastest time and breaking through the innate after a hundred years, how can it compare with my self-created mental method?" If you come to rob it, why bother with a high-sounding battle! ”

After he had said this, the high priest's red-clothed procession also arrived from the entrance of the mountainside, and without stopping to rush into the crowd, fighting in a chaotic manner.

The high priest and the five holy envoys stepped forward and attacked Mani with their palms, and the surging internal force of the palm wind struck out, and it was there in the blink of an eye.

Mani stood with his hands in front of his chest, condensed into an invisible barrier with internal force, and hit it with five palms, Mani's body was stunned, and he took three steps back.

The twelve Muja originally wanted to help their sect leader, but four of the five holy envoys each stopped three Muja and prevented them from coming forward.

While Mani was languishing, the high priest took advantage of his danger to strike again.

Mani hurriedly answered, and the two faced each other with four palms in the air, and they were evenly matched for a moment.

And the Miaohuo envoy who did not stop the five holy envoys saw the opportunity and slapped Mani with all his might. Mani's body protection qi slowed down the strength of his palm, and then it was broken, and he received a heavy palm on his right back, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Seeing that today would not end well, Mani was determined to die, regardless of his death, and rushed all his internal strength to bombard the arms of the high priest.

The high priest felt his internal forces rushing in, his arms flickering brightly and darkly, his body fell uncontrollably, and he kicked Mani in the chest with his residual strength.

The Flame Envoy took the opportunity to slap him several times in the back, and Mani was hit back and forth, and blood spurted wildly and fell to the ground.

And the Yin and Yang True Qi that poured into the High Priest's body gathered in his chest, poured against each other, and could no longer move.

Seeing the leader fall to the ground, the woman from earlier threw herself at Mani and half-picked him up.

Miao Huo stepped forward to kill the two of them together, and suddenly a person flew out of the chaos, barely blocking his move, this person was the last of the twelve Muja, and was called the king of his heart. He turned his head to look at the woman and shouted, "Holy Maiden, be careful! ”。

It turned out that the woman was a Manichaean saint.

Mani's internal injuries were too severe, and he leaned into the saint's ear and said weakly and intermittently: "Sutra, Sutra is in the Buddha cave fifty miles to the north, you follow, follow the king of the name to break out... ”

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and clawed at his chest, and dug a big hole in his chest, and hot blood suddenly gushed out and splashed on the frightened face of the saint.

When the saint lost her soul, Mani took out an extra round bead the size of a walnut in her hand and put it in the trembling hand of the saint. The surface of the bead was stained with sticky blood, and it was still very warm and warm in the hand.

When he had taken out the beads, Mani was so angry that he used his last strength to say to the holy woman, "I will keep it alive... Then he tilted his head and left this world forever.

The saint could no longer control her emotions, and hugged Mani's corpse in her arms and cried bitterly: "Sect Master! The scream of grief drew the eyes of the audience to her.

The king of the name didn't have time to grieve, so he unexpectedly struggled to get rid of the wonderful fire envoy with one move, and rushed up with the holy maiden. Seeing this, the five holy envoys wanted to chase after them, but this time, the other eleven Muja suddenly broke out, vowing to stop the five with their lives.

On cultivation for the twelve Muja, each of them is the ninth level of internal strength, and he is one step away from being promoted to the innate realm, and he can't get out of the five holy envoys within a few moves under all his strength.

The king of the name jumped up, chose a horse and slapped the man on the horse away, and led the saint to fall firmly on the horse.

The horses beneath him neighed and galloped out.

When the five holy envoys broke free from the siege, they saw that the smoke and dust under the horse's hooves had dispersed, and the king and the holy woman did not know where to go, and several people were angry and had to turn around and fight again.

The horses galloped for more than ten miles, and when the king saw that no one was chasing him, he stopped his horse and jumped off, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, the crisis has been solved, you continue to drive your horse and flee to the east." ”

The holy woman looked confused and helpless, and said in a panic: "Where are you going?" ”

King Juming looked up at her, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and said firmly: "Naturally, I will return to the altar again, I will teach you to leave a holy woman as the tinder, even if I die, I will be buried in the same place with the sect leader." ”

With that, King Kuming leaned over and knelt down at her, and began to gallop back to the dangerous place.

The holy woman knew that it was useless to persuade her, and looked at his back with two lines of tears silently shedding.

After that, she massaged the Ni and went all the way north to find the Buddha cave, and poked out a secret compartment behind a stone Buddha, and when she opened it, it was indeed a scripture book, and a string of golden characters were written on the cover. The saint recognized that the text was Persian, meaning the Manichaean Sutra, and she thought to herself that this must be the "Two Sutras" that the Sect Master had spoken.

After walking nearly 100 miles after getting the scriptures, she saw a small store, she didn't dare to relax and stop, put some food and continued to the east.

After a month, in the Central Plains, this vast land has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, during which all sides have been divided, wars have been endless, and the people have no livelihood.

On the border of a chaotic city, the saint led her horse outside an inn.

After a month, she was covered with dust, and several horses had changed. The original silk gauze dress has also been replaced with the ordinary clothes of the Central Plains women, but it does not hide her alluring appearance at all.

The saint stopped her horse, and she was so tired that she found a random place to sit down. But there was a man sitting across the table, about the same age as her, but carrying a wide and heavy sword with no blade on his back, which was as tall as a man.

She pointed to the heavy sword and asked, "You carry this thing, don't you drag it down?" ”

The man was not good at talking at first glance, and replied honestly: "I'm not tired." ”

The saint didn't speak to anyone for a long time along the way, and asked a few more questions in a row, and the man gradually warmed up with her, and the two talked happily for a while.

Then the man asked, "I don't know what the girl's name is?" ”

The saint thought for a while and said, "My surname is Lin, and my single name is a Xuanzi. ”
