Chapter 22: The Fire-Worshipping Messenger (4)
The hearts of the two suddenly set off a thousand waves, Zoroastrianism spread throughout the country, even if there are not hundreds of thousands of believers in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of people, if the person behind this is really An Lushan, secretly pushing Zoroastrianism to move the main altar to the Central Plains, then the momentum of Zoroastrianism will inevitably be in full swing, once An Lushan raises troops, Zoroastrianism responds, the consequences are really unimaginable.

The joints in this, Kurli and others were naturally unexpected, and said:
"Because of this incident, the Zoroastrian altar originally wanted to expel Vantiqi from the main altar, but his power in the Central Plains branch altar is very stable, and his power in the main sect has always been deep-rooted, so he didn't dare to do anything to him, but after this incident, the general sect no longer protects him, and it is precisely because Zoroastrianism no longer protects him that we chased all the way, otherwise with the power of Zoroastrianism, we would definitely not have such a conflict with it. ”
Gao Fenglin thought:
"Between the sects and sects of the rivers and lakes, there are always fights and grievances, today you are prosperous, I don't dare to do anything to you, he will decline every day, then I am a tiger in the mountains. ”
Zhang Xuan says:
"Since this Vantiqi is such a powerful person, how can he be chased by you and hidden. ”
Kuhl said:
"Zoroastrianism is also purging his power in the main altar, many of his cronies have either been executed, or exiled under various pretexts, since he found out about this, he has left a way back for himself, he went all the way east, must be to reorganize the Central Plains branch of the sect, to help him regain control of the Western Regions main altar. ”
Gao Fenglin had already known that An Lushan, together with the Zoroastrians, was trying to rebel, so he thought that this Vantiqi must also be one of them, and he was in such a hurry to move east, it must be An Lushan's meaning. Once he moved eastward, the disciples from all over the Central Plains would raise troops with him, and it would be really unstoppable.
Gao Fenglin said:
"This Vantic is not a good stubble, there must be a bigger secret behind him. There's another thing that I find very strange. ”
Kuhl said:
"What?"
Gao Fenglin said:
"This person's light skills are superb, and it is easy to get rid of you, but in this way, he is still staying in this desert for too long, if he really wants to reorganize the Zoroastrian religion in Middle Earth, then he should be in a hurry to go to the Central Plains at this time, why has he been drifting in this desert for a long time, some of these places really don't make sense. ”
Kurli says:
"I think it's strange to me, but this man has never confronted us head-on, and has always thrown us away after a few face-to-face looks, and since you've mentioned it, it's really strange when you think about it. ”
was discussing, the Kerry who was seriously injured by Vantich woke up and turned around, but after he woke up, he was instantly screamed by the sharp pain in his arm, and several people were looked at at the same time, Kanji hurriedly went to take care of Kerrysu, Gao Fenglin said:
"I think you should not chase this Vantiqi for the time being, this person's martial arts are strong and weird, and he is scheming, if you continue to chase him, you will inevitably suffer, just like this brother, I think you should come back as soon as possible and heal his injuries." ”
Kurli says:
"What the little brother said makes sense, this time we chased him all the way without hurting him in the slightest, but today we accidentally suffered a big loss, but right now in this desert, where can a doctor mention Krisu to treat his injuries?"
Zhang Xuan says:
"It's better to come with us, there is a doctor in our entourage, who can heal this big brother's wounds. ”
As soon as he heard that there was a doctor, Kanji was overjoyed and hurriedly said:
"If that's the case, then I'll thank you both for my brother. ”
Gao Fenglin didn't want to make this backwater, but Zhang Xuan was too enthusiastic to say this, but he couldn't refuse categorically, so he had to be silent, and listened to Zhang Xuan again:
"It's just that we're lost in the desert and can't find our way back. ”
Kuhl said:
"Do you remember where you were with you?"
Zhang Xuandao:
"It's easy, we're in an oasis. ”
Kuhl said:
"Oasis, if there's an oasis around here, it's ......."
They are in the Western Regions all the year round, the Western Regions are vast, and there are many deserts, so they naturally know very well about the environment of this desert.
"Don't worry, we can help you find the oasis. ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was really overjoyed and said:
"Then thank you a few big brothers. ”
Based on their years of experience, Kurli and others felt the change in the direction of the wind and the direction of the quicksand in the dark night, leading Gao Fenglin and Zhang Xuan to gradually approach the oasis.
After returning to the army, Zhang Xuan hurriedly called the military doctor to treat Kerisu's injuries, and the military doctor applied some ointment to Kerisu, prescribed a few prescriptions, decocted a few medicines, and worked until it was almost dawn before going to rest. In order to take care of Kerisu, Zhang Xuan explained the cause and effect to Ping Qingyun, and Ping Qingyun agreed to the three of them to go with the army, but once Kerisu recovered from his injuries, he had to leave immediately.
The group walked back to Hui for a few more days, and they had come to the prairie, and Kerisu's injuries had gradually healed, and he was able to move freely.
The closer the Hui army got to their hometown, the more agitated their mood became, and when they returned to the familiar prairie, they all felt indescribably comfortable. Gao Fenglin and Zhang Xuan drove together, seeing Gao Fenglin bowing his head, as if he was thinking about something, Zhang Xuan asked:
"What are you thinking?"
Gao Fenglin didn't seem to hear it, he didn't answer him, Zhang Xuan asked again, and Gao Fenglin woke up and said:
"Zijun, do you feel that there are many secrets hidden in this Vantiqi?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment and said:
"This monk's words flickered, and I couldn't tell which of his words was true and which was false. ”
Gao Fenglin said:
"What you said in conjunction with the four protectors of Manichaeism, did you find that the Zoroastrian sect is very divisive this time?"
Zhang Xuandao:
"You mean, could it be An Lushan behind this?"
Gao Fenglin said:
"A few months ago, we learned that Zoroastrianism was colluding with An Lushan, and soon after, the Western Regions Sect began to split, and it is difficult not to connect the two things. ”
Zhang Xuandao:
"An Lushan is afraid that it has nothing to do with this matter, but there is one more thing I don't understand. ”
Gao Fenglin asked:
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Xuandao:
"Since the Chief Priest of the Western Regions is at this time when the disagreement is the greatest, that Vantic's words and deeds should be more cautious, how could he recklessly beat the high priest of Manichaeism to death, in this way, the two sides fought and lost both, and it was not completely beneficial to him, although the vitality of the Chief Sect was greatly damaged, but his position was also more precarious, and he was also hunted down by Manichaeism, so that the eastward movement of the General Altar was blocked, and he himself was in danger, and his situation was even more disadvantaged. ”
At first, Gao Fenglin also thought so, but as Zhang Xuan said, the head sect's vitality was greatly damaged, and he failed to take the opportunity to take power, and the eastward move plan was put on hold, which should be contrary to his prior plan, and the reason for this is really difficult to understand.
Gao Fenglin only shook his head and said:
"This matter must not be so simple, there must be something else hidden in it. No, the stakes are very high, and after returning to Huifu, I have to go to Jiuyuan to find my uncle. ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised:
"Are you going to find Guo Ziyi and Guo Lao Linggong?"
Gao Fenglin said:
"Exactly, I want to inform Uncle Guo of the details of this, and his old man may have another decision. ”
Zhang Xuandao:
"I have admired Guo Lao Linggong for a long time, so when the time comes, will I go south with you?"
Gao Fenglin smiled faintly and said:
"That's natural, I think my uncle will like it when he sees you and the little general. (To be continued.) )
