"Zoroastrian!" Chen Ao exclaimed.

Lan Yuyan was also a little surprised: "You also know Zoroastrianism?"

Of course, Chen Ao knows the name. Or that every boy who likes martial arts should have heard of this name. The so-called Zoroastrianism is the Mingjiao in martial arts. And there is indeed such a Zoroastrian religion in history, and the main altar is in the Persian Empire.

Unexpectedly, this blue jade smoke was actually from Zoroastrianism, and Chen Ao was surprised. He waved his hand, pressed the doubt in his heart, and said, "You go on." ”

Lan Yuyan sighed and said, "You are an official of the Great Song Empire, I shouldn't have told you this kind of thing." Years ago, there were people in my church who tried to come to Middle-earth to preach. However, for a long time, our religion was regarded as heresy by the dynasty of the Central Plains and was banned. That's why I haven't been able to reveal my identity. ”

Chen Ao suddenly realized that Lan Yuyan had been spitting and refusing to tell the truth, just because of this. Chen Ao thought about it, as if this was the case. When Zoroastrianism spread to the Central Plains, it has always been regarded as a cult. In martial arts, it often appears as a demon sect. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who relied on the strength of Mingjiao to become a hero, after becoming the emperor, he had to suppress and kill Mingjiao. From this point of view, this Zoroastrianism is not necessarily a good thing.

However, Chen Ao does not have to worry about this. He shook his hand and smiled, "You don't have to have any scruples. I'm just playing in front of you, and I won't tell you. ”

Lan Yuyan was skeptical and continued: "Since I told you about this, naturally Senior Brother believes you. ”

Chen Ao asked, "Then why did you come back to Hulu County to become horse bandits? Why did those white-robed men chase and kill you? Could it be that you violated the religious rules?"

Lan Yuyan said faintly, "Half of the story I told you earlier is true. My father is actually the leader of Zoroastrianism!"

"Ahh

Lan Yuyan ignored his expression and continued, "I am my father's youngest daughter. At that time he already had seven children, but they were all born to his last wife. We Persians are not like you Han Chinese, who can have several wives. His first wife died many years before he married my mother. Her mother was a girl from a Han family, and she was also a young lady from an official family in the past. Only because the family was guilty, the female dependents were exiled. She ran out of exile, met a caravan on the way, and made her way to Persia. Her father took her mother in, and in order to repay her kindness, her mother married her father, who was more than 20 years older than her. ”

Chen Ao listened silently, thinking to himself, this story is twisted and bizarre, and it should be true that Lan Yuyan can't make it up in such a short time.

Lan Yuyan continued: "My Chinese was taught by my mother since I was a child. She always hopes to take me back to the Central Plains one day. It's a pity that when I was seven years old, she couldn't afford to fall ill and never came back until she died. ”

Chen Ao comforted: "Your father is the head of the sect, and staying in Persia is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Lan Yuyan's tone was a little bleak, and she said, "Hmph, do you think it's a good thing to have a sect leader father? And he just gave us mother and daughter to live, and didn't give us much care. ”

Chen Ao felt a little embarrassed, so he had to ask, "What about later?"

Lan Yuyan sighed and continued, "After my mother died, my father didn't care about me anymore. I mingled with some merchants from the Central Plains every day, wanting to learn something about the Central Plains. The father, on the other hand, devoted himself to raising his children. He wants to train his eldest son to be his successor and become the next leader. As for his precious daughter, she wants to be the new saint. But he didn't know that his children were just mud that couldn't hold up to the wall!"

"How?"

"The canons of Zoroastrianism require that both the leader and the saint must be studied and decided by the Council of Elders. Even the Sect Master couldn't interfere. And the people in the House of Elders are all upright and unsympathetic characters. Once, my eldest brother and his group of fox friends snatched a girl down the street. Unbeknownst to her, the girl was actually the daughter of a tribal leader. This scandal was well known, and the people in the House of Elders immediately denied the possibility of letting him take over as the head of the sect. ”

Chen Ao nodded: "This kind of thing is unforgivable no matter who it is!"

Lan Yuyan said again: "As for my sister, she was originally the best candidate to succeed the saint. Who knew that she was suddenly denounced, and she was no longer a virgin. It turned out that she had secretly fallen in love with a young man, and had even done that kind of thing. Since she is not a perfect body, of course she can no longer be a saint. In this way, the father carefully cultivated his children for many years, and the plan finally ended in failure. ”

Chen Ao sighed: "Yes, after such a blow, your father must be very disappointed. ”

Lan Yuyan sneered: "That's right, of course he is very sad, and he has aged a lot all of a sudden." But he was still very confused, and he didn't even see that his brother was making trouble!"

"Your father's brother, is that your uncle?" Chen Ao said in surprise, "What the hell is he doing?"

Lan Yuyan said: "I have been messing with those merchants all year round, and these people are the best at finding out and using information. I finally figured it out. It turned out that those who lured my eldest brother to rob the people's daughters were instructed by my uncle. And my sister's affair with someone was also deliberately reported by my uncle. He tried his best to make his father think that he was the only one who could take over as the sect leader and continue the interests of the family!"

"You uncle, you're insidious enough!"

Lan Yuyan nodded and said, "But my father didn't believe that he, a sibling, would do such a thing. It's just that he has always wanted his son to be the sect leader, and he never thought that his younger brother would have this opportunity. My uncle was so angry that he poisoned my father's wine and poisoned my father to death!"

"Ah!" Chen Ao exclaimed, "So this is the original version of the story you said!"

Lan Yuyan said: "That's right, but my uncle did it very secretly, and no one else found out." He thought I didn't know, but I didn't expect that I came home late that day and happened to see him sneaking out of my father's room. After that, my father suddenly fell ill and died. I'm not stupid, can't I guess what's going on?"

Chen Ao sighed: "So your uncle began to hunt you down?"

Lan Yuyan shook his head: "I knew at that time that I was a low-minded person, even if I exposed his crimes, it would be useless. So I pretended I didn't know anything. Later, my uncle succeeded in becoming the leader. And in order to show his respect for my father, he actually decided to make me a saint! He knew that my father had never liked me, and even if he made me a saint, it would not affect his status. ”

"And then?"

"At that time, I was too young to understand how sinister the human heart is. Later, when my eldest brother and sister died, I realized that it was my uncle who was cutting the grass and eradicating the roots! I knew that one day, he would deal with me too, so I wanted to preemptively report my uncle's crime to the elders' house. Who knew that he had already planted a spy beside me, and took the lead in surrounding my holy palace. It was only under the escort of a group of faithful servants such as Holkoz that I escaped from Persia. After that, I kept traveling to various countries, until I came to Hulu County a few years ago, and this was a foothold!"
