It wasn't until the evening that Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin returned to the inn separately, and at this time, Balzi had already brought many Zoroastrian followers to wait in the inn, drinking tea and chatting with Tianya.

"Oh? Zong Xin said excitedly: "Balzi, I thought you would come this morning, but I waited all day, and you didn't come until the evening." ”

Balzi said depressedly: "Master Zongxin, we must speak according to our conscience, we have people staring at you all the time. You left the inn in the morning, and went out to buy and play all day, who are waiting for me? But the sect leader has something to do during the day, so he can receive you at night. I wonder if Master Zongxin has time?"

"Is there time, do you leave now or go back after eating?"

Balzi said: "You have already eaten outside, and Tianya and I had dinner just now, so you can leave now." ”

Zong Xin admired: "You Zoroastrians are really good, no wonder you can capture half of the Uighurs. I'd also love to meet this Zoroastrian leader and lead the way. ”

"Master Zongxin, please. Balzi had already prepared, walking in front of him to lead the way, followed by eight Zoroastrian disciples, neatly dressed and with uniform movements, all of them put their hands in front of their lower abdomen and held them gently, although they didn't know what the meaning of this action was, but Zongxin admired the Zoroastrian leader very much.

Fooling one person, or even a sword, is not a skill, but fooling the people of the whole country is called ability. Zongxin thought that without this ability, it was impossible for the whole country to believe in him. Although there were many people who believed in Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains, it was almost impossible for such a demagogic thing as Zoroastrianism to almost overthrow the Uighur regime in the Central Plains.

Most of the Uighur people are still too simple, and they are as cunning as the Central Plains. But this should also be, because the Central Plains has experienced too many wars, and every time it is an internal war, and any reason has appeared. The people of the Central Plains have also become cunning because of this, although there are differences in different places, but the people of the Central Plains are not so easily bewitched.

Follow Baltz, everyone is not familiar with the local terrain, Zongxin still has some road idiots, so he doesn't know where to go, and the group is almost completely lost, only knowing to move forward.

I walked for a long time, but I didn't leave Tingzhou City, but I came to a relatively desolate place. But when I arrived here, I immediately felt like I had entered the sphere of influence of Zoroastrianism, like somewhere on the edge of the city, it was like a small forest, although it seemed unsuitable to live, but there were a lot of Zoroastrians here, and everyone wore exactly the same, like a cloak like a flame to cover the whole body, except for the eyes, all other parts were hidden.

This kind of dress can make them careless in Tingzhou City, because their faces are covered, so they don't know who he is. If he were to be forcibly captured, there would be countless Zoroastrians, all armed with weapons, and in the blink of an eye, the scene of the capture would turn into a massacre. When they were done, they just took off their clothes and were able to weave through the crowd like ordinary people, and no one knew that he was a Zoroastrian.

After a while, Balzi and his party came to a splendid palace, in the middle of this grove, there were no other buildings except a path, and this gorgeous palace could be said to stand out. When was this palace built, and how much manpower and material resources were used?

"Zoroastrianism is really wealthy, how much does it cost to build such a huge palace in such a no-man's land?" Zong Xin said: "Demon demon, let's build a palace like this in the future, I really want to live in this kind of place." Even the decoration of the courtyard is not in the style of the Central Plains or the Uighurs...... Your leader must be a Persian. ”

Balzi nodded and said, "Master Zongxin Mingjian, the Holy Sect Master is indeed a Persian. Because Zoroastrianism in Persia, like Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains, is the belief of the whole people. However, the Uighurs were not introduced for a long time, and the previous leader went to Persia to ask for the sacred fire, and the envoy followed the leader to the Uighurs to protect the sacred fire. And that envoy is the leader of the sect today. ”

"Oh~ I'm not interested in the history of Zoroastrianism, so let's go in and meet your sect leader. ”

Balzi looked left and right, and then said, "Master Zongxin, this way will inevitably lack some ideas, it is better to ...... Master Zongxin will show everyone what you are capable of, and I believe that these members of our sect will see you as a messenger of the gods. ”

"It's just a small thing, don't get burned when you step down. "Zong Xin Cui is really angry, and at the same time, everyone takes a few steps back, they are used to Zong Xin's nonsense, and they will all retreat before Zong Xin messes around. I used to persuade a few words, but now I even rely on persuasion because the temperature is too high.

Suddenly, Zongxin's whole body was covered in fire, but these fires looked very gentle from a distance, and even Zongxin's clothes and hair were not burned.

"Is it okay now?"

"Of course, it's very holy. Balzi said: "Master Zongxin, please." ”

Balzi led the group to this splendid palace, and when they entered the palace, there was a huge garden with small colorful flowers blooming all around, some of which were even bearing fruit, and these fruits looked like small pomegranates......

These flowers are of the same species, but they are different in color and shape. Surprisingly, these flowers are so beautiful that they fill almost the entire garden around the palace.

The demon said excitedly: "Although I haven't seen it, but it's such a beautiful little flower, I'll pick a few for Xianggong ......"

"Don't go!" Zong Xin said excitedly.

Everyone was very surprised, this was the first time that Zongxin had used this tone on a demon. Usually Zongxin is very gentle, and he doesn't even speak too loudly. But just now he suddenly let out a very excited cry, which also frightened the demon, because this was almost the first time that Zong Xin had spoken in such a stern tone.

No one dared to move, it was the first time they had seen Zongxin look so angry. Although Zong Xin didn't show it on the surface, these people had been following Zong Xin for a long time, and they could feel the angry feeling in Zong Xin's body, and at the same time, they could also see the frenzy of the flames around Zong Xin.

"Xianggong......" The demon pouted with a look of grievance. She can only do this, because Zong Xin's appearance just now is very scary, and since Zong Xin doesn't let himself touch this flower, he must have a reason. Although I don't know what the hell is going on with these flowers, the demon knows that they are definitely not a good thing.

However, the demon is very strange, no matter how poisonous these flowers are, they have the five poisonous gods to protect their bodies, and they will never be poisoned. Could it be that these flowers are more poisonous than the Five Poison Gods? How did Zongxin know about such a thing?

Balzi was curious: "Master Zongxin, do you know these flowers?"

"The first time I saw a real thing, I had only seen pictures before. Zong Xin said: "This flower comes from Tianzhu, and I don't want to say much about the rest." ”

"This is the first time I've heard that this flower originated from Tianzhu. Balzi said: "It seems that it is something brought back by Master Xuanzang, who learned scriptures from the West." ”

Zong Xin sighed: "Master Xuanzang will never bring this kind of thing back. It's useless to talk more, so take us to the Master. ”

Zongxin is a person who doesn't hide his emotions, his emotions are almost all written on his face, and everyone can see that Zongxin is suddenly very angry, and he hates this kind of flower very much. Although I don't know the specific reason, since Zongxin hates it so much, other people don't have a good impression of this flower.

Of course, this little flower actually grows very beautiful, and it is a pity that it cannot be picked...... Since she is a girl, she hasn't seen flowers for a long time, and she finally saw some flowers, and Zongxin was so disgusted.

Ning An asked in a low voice, "Sister Xingyue, you have seen Zhiguang, why does Xiang Gong hate this kind of flower? I have never seen Xiang Gong so angry. ”

"I haven't seen it either...... Who knows. ”

Dugu Xingyue was also confused, and she didn't know what was wrong with Zong Xin. It is estimated that this flower must be some kind of poison, otherwise Zongxin would not be like this.

The group walked directly into the palace, and the harmonious atmosphere just now completely disappeared because of Zong Xin, and the whole team was very silent and depressed. They are afraid that Zongxin will be angry, and it is very scary when Zongxin is really angry, because a person like Zongxin, he almost doesn't care about anything, he is so happy every day, there are very few reasons that can make him angry, and it is very terrifying.

As soon as you enter the palace, you feel like you've entered the palace. It's more luxurious than the royal palace, with a splendor of gold and diamonds and emeralds, and a scarlet carpet underfoot, soft and comfortable to step on. The value of this scarlet carpet alone is immeasurable. The red blanket dyed with orangutan blood will not fade for a hundred years, and it can also ward off evil spirits. Even when the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, there was only a scarlet carpet of nearly ten meters on the Golden Palace. But that's it, there's no more.

And the scarlet carpet here is derived from outside the palace gate all the way to the throne of the leader, the color is bright red, the texture is thick, how many orangutans need the blood to dye such a large piece of scarlet carpet? This place where the Zoroastrian master lives is more luxurious and extravagant than the palace, whether it is the Central Plains or the Uighurs, no palace will use such extravagant decoration, because how much army can be raised with this money? If it were not for a particularly peaceful era, any emperor would rather spend his money on the army than on this meaningless decoration.

On the throne of the Zoroastrian lord sat a man who was distinctly different from the Central Plains, and even very different from the Uighurs, more like a half-European and Asian-Asian combination, which was characteristic of the Persians, with sky-blue eyes, red hair, some neat beards, and a red silk robe embroidered with gold threads with flame patterns.

This is not magical, the most amazing thing is that there is a flame burning out of thin air on the top of the throne, it is just a flame, and nothing else. This made everyone's eyes shine, and it was unbelievable that the Uighurs still had this kind of technology.

After seeing the Zoroastrian leader, the worshippers all knelt on one knee and saluted with their right hand on their left shoulder. Only Baltz bowed his head slightly, and his right hand rested on his left shoulder. It seems that Baltz's level is much higher than these people.

After Balzi finished his salute, he immediately stepped forward and walked up the stairs to the Zoroastrian Master, whispered a few words, and stood next to the Zoroastrian Master.
