Section 53 Fire Starts(1)
Since Mr. Xiao had made a plan, he waited until night fell before sneaking into the palace.
"Five Extremes Returning to the Sect" was extremely confident in his kung fu, he just changed into a dark robe and went to the imperial city.
Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes regard Miyagi as if they were dead, but Mr. Xiao has absolute confidence and dares to break into the palace forbidden.
Although he is ranked among the Three Saints and Seven Sects today, Mr. Xiao's background is very sad, his father was originally a master of Manichaeism, and it stands to reason that he should strictly observe chastity and cannot marry. fell in love with a Tibetan noblewoman by chance, and the two fell in love and finally gave birth to Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao's father is a high-ranking Manichaean person, so naturally he can't raise him, his mother was born in a large Tibetan family, and having a child out of wedlock has made the family disgraced, and it is impossible to raise an illegitimate child.
He entrusted him to a pair of people in the Central Plains martial arts to raise, and then gradually raised adults, inheriting his father's surname "Xiao", and then the name of "hoopoe", "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded the Queen Mother of the West "fluffy hoopoe", to Mr. Xiao such a name is also to imply his maternal line.
Later, Mr. Xiao broke into the martial arts, and all parties became acquainted, when he was young, he solved a catastrophe for Manichaeism, and was admired by the whole sect, and obtained the title of "original man", so the two Venerable Manichaeans honored him as the Holy Son.
For such a reason, Mr. Xiao was about to break into the palace to persuade Li Xu to rein in the precipice, repent, and stop doing things that hurt the feelings of people in the world.
The palace city is in the north of Baiyujing, there is a city wall and each square in Baiyujing is separated, the city wall is about three zhang high, the inside is rammed earth, the outside is a brick, Baiyujing was originally the ancient capital that has gone through several dynasties, it was called Daxing City in the previous dynasty, because the palace is complete, and it is the ancient capital of several dynasties, so the Yu Dynasty also built the capital here after the founding of the country.
Although Baiyujing is prosperous, but the curfew system is strictly enforced, after nightfall, the doors of each square are closed, and there are soldiers and horses patrolling the city, once it is found that the curfew is violated, it will be dealt with as the crime of "committing the night", and it will be flogged twenty times.
Thirty soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture were armed with horizontal knives, spears, and sticks, and under the leadership of the officers, they held torches high and patrolled back and forth on the road.
The officers in front of him held horizontal knives in their hands and led the team to move forward slowly, now the emperor is in power, most of the leaders of Jingzhao Mansion are Wen Party, Li Shen's plan for the emperor gradually spread the rumors, and Jingzhao Mansion is naturally a burst of chickens and dogs.
Later, Cui Qi was arrested and put in the court prison of Dali Temple, and Jing Zhaoyin's position was vacant. Clear-eyed people know that although this position is important, if you want to be Jing Zhaoyin, at least Your Majesty must look pleasing to the eye, Han Xiang is willing to support, and the father-in-law in the palace must agree.
It's not just anyone who can become Jing Zhaoyin.
These are all talking points at the wine table, and the officer knows in his heart that no matter how the wind and rain blow above, and how the king's flag at the head of the city changes, this errand of patrolling the city at night still has to be done by him Yan San, and his position is much more stable than Jing Zhaoyin.
A black shadow swept over the beam of the house beside Yan San, without even the slightest sound of the wind, and the team of night patrols did not notice that they were still moving along the street in the distance.
An ordinary team like this, Mr. Xiao didn't pay attention to it, not to mention his light body kung fu, with his ear and eyesight, he could also change the route in advance to avoid them.
As Mr. Xiao approached the palace step by step, the Dayun Guangming Temple was also a fire.
On the square in front of the main hall of the Dayun Guangming Temple, a layer of firewood stacks is neatly stacked, and behind the firewood stacks is a group of men who look quite vicious.
More than 300 heroes from Mobei, including the bald man who had fought with Bai Xingjian that day, stood in several rows in turn, shirtless, with ointment on their bodies and white scarves on their heads.
In front of the main hall, the servant Dharma Zun Jing Shenghui, the demon subduing slave is difficult to get rid of, each holding a torch, and there are musicians holding pipa, suona, small drums, and trumpets on the left and right sides of them.
"Heaven and earth are born, dividing yin and yang, although the mixed hole is opened, light and darkness are dissolved. Jing Shenghui's hoarse voice was like a song and weeping, and along with his chanting, musical instruments such as pipa, suona, and trumpets also began to sound, and the sound of babbling spread in the deep night, and there was an indescribable mystery hidden in the absurdity.
"All the light rises, all the darkness is born, entanglement and fighting, and then the original person is born. He sang loudly, and his voice was majestic, and in the desolate accompaniment, like bells and drums, the chanting turned from desolate and subtle to thick and simple.
"Only the Father of Light, Ahura Mazda, Only the Father of Light, Ahura Mazda. The men behind the firewood stacks gathered in a pious singing voice to sing the chants of Jingshenghui and slaves.
"Giving birth to angels, saving foolishness, incarnating Shakya, dwelling in the world, and Jesus, given by God, Ahura Mazda, Ahura Mazda, God is holy, pure and bright. ”
The chorus gradually rose, Jing Shenghui and Nu Nan Tu threw the torch in their hands to the woodpile that had been doused with grease once, and suddenly a firelight burst in the darkness, the flame burned on the grease and firewood, and the heat dispersed, so that the big men in front of the woodpile had some anxiety in their hearts.
"Then there is Mani, and finally comes to life, only the light, far away from the upside-down dream!" Jing Shenghui's voice gradually suppressed everyone.
"Away from all horror!" the voice came from the slave.
At this moment, everyone knelt on the ground, bowing to that flame with supreme piety, and even a few tears flowed from the eyes of many big men.
A shadow gradually emerged from the flames.
The shadows gradually converged, and a tall figure appeared in the fire, and the flames were scorching the world, but in front of this figure was as tame as a lamb. He opened his arms as if dancing in flames, and with the crackling and crackling sound of burning wood, he leaped out of the fire, and then the night wind slowly fell on the square of the Great Cloud Light Temple.
The successor of Mani, the spokesman of the light, Pope Balutosa descended to Si.
"Greetings to the Pope, Puji is lost. The pious voices converged, and Balutosa smiled.
Balutosa was very tall, dressed in a white robe with a desert style, his long red hair was spread out, and he wore a golden headband with a ruby the size of a chicken egg in the center. Balutosa looks no more than twenty years old, but his blue eyes are deep beyond his age, and the most wonderful thing is that his blue eyes occasionally flash a trace of green light, which is very wonderful.
"Although the night is deep, the light comes to the world. Balutosa soothed his hands, his voice was ordinary, but there was a breathtaking magic.
Under the influence of this magic, the heroes who fell to their knees all repeated the words of the Pope, and the words "light comes into the world" were repeated again and again in the square.
"The time has come!" said Balutosa in an unquestionable tone: "The decisive battle between light and darkness has come, go, go, when the day dawns, Bai Yujing will burn, and the country of light will be in the world!"
The men kowtowed again, they had been planning in Baiyujing for half a year, and today it was finally the day when the melons were ripe.
"The Holy Son has sneaked into the palace. The middle level left one by one, Jing Shenghui and Nu Nan stood side by side on both sides of Balutosa, and Jing Shenghui said: "With him, Na Luo Yan and Cheng Qili will not leave the palace." ”
"Pope, how are your injuries?" asked the slaves who had almost retreated from the square, and leaned over.
Balutosa shook his head, he raided Taiyuan three days ago, sneaked into the camp to challenge Yufuguo, and fought with him, Yufuguo's Yanyang miraculous skills were ruthless and domineering, he almost couldn't escape, and fell into the camp of Yufuguo, leaving behind the dark wounds that had not yet healed.
However, this also paralyzed Yufuguo, making him think that he was healing his wounds in the Uighur tent at the moment, when in fact Balutosa was going south with his wounds in the starry night, just for tonight's big event.
"Out of the way. Balutosa said, "Tonight will decide the situation for the next 30 years and the survival of my teachings. ”
"The news from Zhou Guogong that the emperor is ruthless, and he has already gone to transfer troops and horses from all walks of life into Beijing. After strangling our congregationists in Beijing, we will send people to Huainan Jiangnan to ban our temples and confiscate all fields and properties. Jing Shenghui sighed, Yu Chao responded so quickly, so ruthlessly, it was really beyond his expectations. The original plan had to be launched earlier.
"We have always had a life-and-death relationship with the darkness, and we pretend to be like them on weekdays, pretending to obey these demon kings, but we must know that our hearts are light, and we will eventually destroy the darkness in the decisive battle. Balutosa said: "The darkness also does not forget to oppress us all the time, and we will have to fight sooner or later anyway." ”
"It's hard to get rid of the messenger. Balutosa instructed again: "This time, you have handsome and our Uighurs are stubborn and stubborn, and those mustard-like penny men will die from them, and we Uighurs should cherish their vitality." ”
"I save it," the slave said, "I will make them use cannon fodder to attract the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty to kill, and I will take the sons of the grassland to find the key points to kill." ”
"Not bad. Balutosa said: "In particular, the records of the various government offices and the treasury of the White Jade Capital will be burned. There are also those ministers who killed the Yu State according to the list. ”
"The Hu merchants under our name must strictly order them not to follow suit. Balutosa instructed Jing Shenghui again: "When this side is finished, let them surrender to the Yu Dynasty government as soon as possible, and cry how many of their goods have been damaged in this chaos." In the future, we will herd horses in the Central Plains and prosper brightly, but we will also rely on them. ”
"My subordinates saved. Jing Shenghui nodded and said, "Our own people will definitely be saved, anyway, those Mawari will die." But Pope, you really ......"
"Don't get in the way, Zhou Guogong gave me the Dragon Blood Manggu Pill, and after eating it, the injury has been suppressed. Balutosa smiled heartily: "If we can succeed today, we must thank Wen Minxing for this treacherous ghost." ”
