The balloon slowly descended, and everyone could already see the faces of the people in the basket. I saw Chen Ao wearing a fiery red robe, looking like a red child, looking down at everyone with his head held high.

The balloon hovered in mid-air, and Chen Ao jumped down violently. Tens of thousands of people watched this scene in a daze, and they almost forgot to breathe. Chen Ao walked up to Lan Yuyan and bowed politely: "Good holy woman!"

Lan Yuyan had already guessed that Chen Ao had done all this, and tears were rolling down her eyes. Chen Ao said again: "On such a solemn occasion, you shouldn't cry." ”

Lan Yuyan nodded again and again, but the tears still couldn't be stopped. She wanted to say something, but her throat choked and she couldn't say a word.

At this time, those believers recognized that the "red man" in front of him was the "deputy sect leader" who had been rumored all over the past few days! Chen Ao had been scheming and had already boasted everywhere that he was the deputy head of the Holy Sect, thus creating an established fact, so that as soon as he appeared, he would not appear abrupt.

At this time, someone shouted in the crowd: "Sect Master Chen is the messenger of the God of Light, and he is here from the throne of the God of Light!"

These people are all dressed as Han merchants in the city. They went to Persia to do business, and of course they knew a little Persian. As soon as they shouted this, everyone immediately believed it. Everyone fell to the ground and kowtowed to Chen Ao.

Chen Ao smiled slightly, walked to Jalali's side, and said with a smile: "The imperial army entrusted me to you...... Oh no, it's the God of Light who has asked me to bring you words. Sect Leader Jia, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!"

Jalali didn't know why, glared at Lan Yuyan, and roared, "What is he talking about?"

Lan Yuyan looked at him coldly and said in Persian: "Uncle, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you today!"

She walked over to Mido's side and gently picked the girl up. The believers stopped talking and watched them quietly. Everyone wants to know the answer.

Lan Yuyan said softly: "Mido, tell everyone the truth, the God of Light will forgive you!"

Mi Duo glanced timidly at Chen Ao. She had now regarded Chen Ao as the embodiment of the God of Light, and when she saw Chen Ao's gentle smile, she didn't seem to blame her. Mi Duo became bold and said in a trembling voice: "Holy Maiden...... The Holy Maiden is chaste! Yes...... Someone told me to lie and frame the saint!"

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, and shouted angrily: "Who is it? Who dares to frame the holy woman?"

Mi Duo pointed at Jalali and said loudly, "It's him, Sect Leader Jalali!"

Jalaari's color changed. All eyes were on him, and Jalali roared, "Nonsense! This crazy woman is talking nonsense! Someone, take her down for me!"

Jalaari was still there, and all the warriors stepped forward to catch Mido. Elder Mira was startled, and hurriedly stood up and said, "No, no, Sect Master...... This ......"

Jarrah's suspicion of tens of thousands of believers was no longer good, and when he saw Mira standing up for fear that he would shake out all his secrets, he hurriedly shouted: "Catch him too!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Jalali took the opportunity to stride towards the back of the crowd, trying to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Lan Yuyan looked at this chaotic scene and sneered. Maybe she used to think about maintaining order, but now, she's a little disheartened.

Chen Ao smiled: "Miss Lan, it's too chaotic here, I'll send you back to the palace!" he said and took Lan Yuyan's hand and walked side by side under the hot air balloon. There was already a small hanging basket hanging from the basket, and Chen Ao and Lan Yuyan stood inside together. Chen Ao pulled the rope and hoisted the two into the basket.

The fire under the hot air balloon suddenly lit up, and the hot air balloon slowly rose again, swaying in the direction of the Saintess Palace on the top of the mountain. At this time, I don't know who set the wooden frame of the god of light on fire, and the fire rose to the sky. Tens of thousands of believers couldn't care about the chaos anymore, and they knelt down one after another, worshipping Chen Ao and Lan Yuyan floating in the air.

The blue jade cigarette butt flew into the air once, surprised and nervous. She hugged Chen Ao's arm tightly, tried to look down again, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... How do you do that?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple......

It turned out that Chen Ao had paid attention to it since he guessed in Hulu County that the gunpowder used by the elders of the Zoroastrian sect was the trick they used. The two carts of gunpowder that Lan Yuyan had purchased also made him more sure that these Zoroastrian high-ranking people were using gunpowder to cast their "spells". You know, if Lan Yuyan wants to use those gunpowder as weapons to fight against thousands of sect members, two carts are simply not enough. Moreover, the people of this era have not yet figured out how to exert the weapon effectiveness of gunpowder.

Therefore, the gunpowder purchased by Lan Yuyan could only be used to perform "divine skills". It's just that Lan Yuyan didn't tell the truth to Chen Ao for the sake of Zoroastrian secrets. Thinking of this, Chen Ao thought that those merchants who came to Persia would inevitably secretly sell gunpowder to Zoroastrians! After all, gunpowder was one of the four great inventions of China. In this era, the Persians also called gunpowder "Chinese salt".

So Chen Ao took advantage of the opportunity to go to the streets every day, boasting about his status as an important member of Zoroastrianism on the one hand, and building relationships with Han merchants on the other hand. Since he was the deputy leader of the Zoroastrian sect, those merchants naturally wouldn't hide the gunpowder from him. Coupled with the relationship between the same clan, the merchants were naturally very close to Chen Ao.

However, even so, it is not easy to get these profiteers to supply gunpowder. After all, these people risked their money to transport gunpowder to Persia for the sake of profit. Fortunately, Jalali pretended to be generous and did not restrict Chen Ao from spending money.

So Chen Ao squandered Jalali's gold coins to buy himself a pile of gunpowder. Of course, he couldn't be like those elders, juggling. Ten days is not enough time for him to practice such acrobatics. However, Chen Ao came up with another idea, and that was fireworks!

Gunpowder was still a rarity in Persia and was worth a thousand gold. Of course, these merchants are not stupid enough to make these things into fireworks and let them go. Therefore, the Persians did not know that such a thing existed in the world. But the skill of making fireworks was not uncommon among these Han merchants. So Chen Ao asked them to make hundreds of fireworks, waiting to be set off on the day of the fire.

He also said his thoughts, and the craftsmen immediately made the kind of fireworks that could form words and graphics according to Chen Ao's idea. Chen Ao thought to himself, in this way, he might be able to achieve his goal.

As for the hot air balloon, it was thought of by a merchant when he recommended a kind of oil to him one day. Chen Ao suddenly remembered, what kind of place is this? Persia, that is, the area of Iran in later generations. Isn't this place rich in oil? So Chen Aofu thought of making a hot air balloon and letting himself fall from the sky!

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. Chen Ao has a golden mountain of Zoroastrian Sect placed there, and even if those merchants and craftsmen empty their heads, they will definitely come up with a way to satisfy Chen Ao.

Under careful planning, there was finally a grand performance on the day of the fire festival!
