I saw that the original Buddha statue in the main hall had been demolished, and a large copper basin was placed on the Xumizuo. I don't know what kind of grease was placed in it, and it was burning.
There were people of all shapes and sizes standing in the hall, all wearing white robes. The only difference was the height of the hat they wore. The one in the middle wearing the highest hat was a tall monk who was the same one seen on the black ship that day. Damujado Yihai Apo.
Look at the people lying on the ground in front of the brazier in the main hall, but who are Xiang'er, Lu Yuxuan and Xie Yanchang? Then look at the person sitting cross-legged on a futon next to the three of them with his eyes closed, but it is Wei Jian. The three of them were not bound by ropes but had no power to fight back. I thought the Manichaeans used some kind of poison to poison the three of them and kidnapped them. However, Wei Jian had no martial arts skills, so the Manichaeans only captured him but did not use any medicine on him.
Apo grabbed a handful of colorful powder and threw it into the brazier. He saw a sudden burst of blue flames in the brazier. The flames jumped so high that they almost touched the beams. But for just a moment, the brazier returned to calmness, but the fire The medium red, yellow, green and indigo colors change erratically, and a strange fragrance spreads faintly.
Wei Jian dusted off the dust on his robe and said to Abo: "Who is your honor? Why do you want to take so much trouble to bring us here?"
Abo smiled and said: "This is the main altar of Mani in Zhongkunlun. Doesn't Mr. Wei know that?"
Although Dugu Xiang lay weak on the ground, his curiosity remained unabated and asked: "Do you think a monk like you knows how to shrink the ground? In just over an hour, we were captured from Luoyang to the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions. What? It’s so impressive.”
Her words were so disrespectful, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many believers, shouting: "Don't be rude to Damucha, you should be respected as the leader!"
Wei Jian said: "Miss Xiang'er, you don't know something. The Kunlun Mountains mentioned here are not the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Regions, but the Wangwu Mountains of Hebei Province."
Dugu Xiang said: "Xiangong Wei, please don't lie to me. Although I don't read much, I have read the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Great Wilderness Western Classic says that Kunlun is in the south of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand. Isn't this in the Western Regions? , where is the desert in the Central Plains?”
Wei Jian said: "How can we believe the ancient saying in the Classic of Mountains and Seas about the origin of weird words? The Taoist Scriptures of the Western Zhou Dynasty says 'Zhongyue Kunlun', and the Han Dynasty's River Map Kuo Geographical Map also says 'the center of the earth is called Kunlun'. . It can be seen that Kunlun is within the Zhongyuan Sea, and the ancient Luoyi and present-day Luoyang are among the world. It can be seen that Zhongkunlun should be near Luoyang."
Dugu Xiang said: "That's not right. The Biography of Emperor Mu says that King Mu of Zhou set out from Luoyi and traveled more than 30,000 miles to Kunlun, where he met the Queen Mother of the West?"
Wei Jian smiled and said, "Xian'er, you have read a lot of miscellaneous books. Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty began to travel to the Western Regions. It was he who told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the Kunlun Mountains were in Khotan, the Western Regions. How could the Emperor of Zhou reach the Western Regions 30,000 miles away during his Western Patrol? Khotan? Moreover, it is recorded in the book that when Emperor Zhou visited the west, he first crossed the river from Luoyi and went north. If he was going to the Western Regions, why not go through Guanzhong? Instead, he had to make a big circle in the mountains to the north?"
Dugu Xiang suddenly realized: "Xiangong Wei is really knowledgeable. It seems that Wangwu Mountain is really the center of Kunlun..."
Abo saw that although the two of them were captured, they were chatting about the present and the past as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but get angry and said: "Xiangong Wei is so interested. How long has it been since he was still teaching people tirelessly?"
Wei Jian remained calm, patted the dust on his body and said, "What happened today is just death, so what should Jian be afraid of?"
Abo turned to Duguxiang again and said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of death?"
Dugu Xiang looked up at the beams of the house, pretending to be generous and said, "Even if you die as a hero, you won't be ashamed of being a hero in the world." But he winked at the roof. It turned out that she was lying on her back before, and no one else saw her, but she had already seen the roof. Someone uncovered the tiles and thought it was Jiang Shuo who was looking for him. Only then did he feel confident and let Abo have a good time.
Xie Yanchang didn't understand the reason, and praised: "Young lady Xiang'er is so good, she has backbone!" He turned to Abo and cursed: "Monk, if you hadn't used your magic, how could we have been captured so easily by you? You have the ability. After detoxifying Grandpa, let’s duel openly to see who is the hero and who is the coward!”
Apo smiled and said: "You Tang people say that I, the Manichae, are a 'eating vegetable and a demon'. Our religion, Ming Zun, is the messenger of light, but we are falsely accused of being a demon sect. Why do we need any upright means to deal with you, the Tang people?"
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Why is eating vegetables a demonic religion? I see that the monks in the temple also eat vegetarian food. How come no one says they are a cult?"
Lu Yuxuan said: "Sister Xiang'er, you don't know that 'eating vegetables and serving demons' does not mean that the demonic sect uses vegetarian food to serve demons, but that although they talk about eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, what they actually do is to 'serve demons' by killing people and stealing goods." The reason why the saints banned demonic religions was because they were pretending to be Buddhism, and they were afraid that people would not be able to tell the truth from the false ones and would deceive them, so they issued an edict to ban them."
Apo spat: "Nonsense, when did our religion pretend to be Buddhism? It's all slander made by young people."
Dugu Xiang said curiously: "Um... Well, Damujia, even if your demon sect is wronged, what does it have to do with us? The saint has banned you, so you are looking for trouble with the saint and kidnapped us to do it." very?"
Wei Jian said apologetically: "Young lady Xiang'er, it's me who has caused trouble for you. The devil's sect wants to arrest me because it was me who advised Jinshang ten years ago and asked him to issue an edict to ban the devil's sect."
Dugu Xiang said: "Wei Xianggong, this is your fault. As the saying goes, leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future..."
Wei Jian said: "Other religions all encourage people to do good, but the teachings of the Devil's Cult are all about the battle between good and evil. They also talk about forming an army of light and defeating the army of the Dark Lord in the doomsday battle. Isn't this teaching people to do evil? ? If we don’t stop it, wouldn’t there be mobs all over the world?”
Apo sneered and said, "It's useless to talk more. I'll let you meet Ming Zun today and know your own good and evil."
Wei Jian said: "I still don't know something. Why didn't you take action ten years ago and only today?"
But I heard someone outside the hall say: "That's because Abo Damujia has just arrived in China, and the previous Mujia was too weak. The Persian General Altar sent Duoyihai Apo to take over the position of Mujia of the Tang Dynasty. Abo Damujia will definitely revive Mingjiao. prestige."
Jiang Shuo already knew who that person was before he saw him. Sure enough, the palace door opened, and a young master in brocade clothes pushed the door and entered the palace. That round face without beard and a pair of sharp eyes were none other than An Qing, the second young master of Anlu Mountain. thread.
Jiang Shuo's heart suddenly tightened when he saw An Qingxu. Yin Ziqi always accompanied An Qingxu. If he and the Erhe brothers and others formed a Xuanji formation, Jiang Shuo might still be able to survive, but it would be difficult to rescue the four of them. As if he had reached the sky, he was anxious when he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Young Master Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Shuo was shocked when he heard this, and all the hairs on his body stood up. The person speaking was none other than Yin Ziqi, whom he was most afraid of. Yin Ziqi's words reached his palms, and he slapped his back with both palms. Jiang Shuo felt the wind coming from his palms, and wanted to It was too late to turn around and take the attack. At the critical moment, Jiang Shuo slapped his palms down, breaking the roof and falling into the palace.
An Qingxu and Abo in the palace saw Jiang Shuo falling, and each raised their palms to greet each other. Jiang Shuo clapped his palms in the air, and met each other's palms. There was only a bang sound, Jiang Shuo soared into the air, and landed steadily. An Qingxu and Abo each took two steps back.
Dugu Xiang said happily: "Brother Shuo, you are here." Wei Jian also said happily: "Looking back, how did you find this place? How many people did you bring here?"
Jiang Shuo said embarrassedly: "Xiangong Wei, I am the only one..."
While they were talking, Yin Ziqi also jumped down from the roof. Yin, An, and Abo each took a corner and formed a triangle, surrounding Jiang Shuo in the center of the Gai. Yin Ziqi said: "Young Master Jiang is really blessed and blessed. Not only did he not die after two years of absence, but he also practiced magical skills. I fought three palms with you on Hongze Lake that day, and his internal strength seems to be no longer inferior to Yin's."
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said: "Jiang Shuo was inexperienced that day and failed to save the great master Puo. You will not be able to succeed today!"
Yin Ziqi said hello, and just as he was about to step forward, Apo stopped him and said, "Mr. Yin, since you are in front of my Mingzun, why don't I come and ask Young Master Jiang for his skills first?"
Yin Ziqi had seen Abo's kung fu on the boat that day, and thought to himself that this monk didn't know what he was doing. Judging from his internal strength, he was no match for Jiang Shuo. Since he wanted to make a fool of himself, why should I dissuade him? Jiang Shuo's hands were not strong enough to kill him, so he immediately nodded and took a step back.
Apo raised his hand and threw another handful of colorful powder into the brazier. Immediately, there was another strange fragrance filling the hall. Apo's lips moved as if he was praying, but he did not come up to take action. Jiang Shuo was trapped in a tight siege and saw Apo's words. He couldn't help but feel anxious, but it seemed ungentlemanly to want to take action when he was praying, but Lu Yuxuan said: "Young Master, I'm afraid the monk's incantation is weird, don't let him recite it, capture this person first!"
Jiang Shuo had a good idea. If he could use Abo as a hostage, he might still be able to escape. Thinking of this, he said "offended" and hit Abo in the chest with his palm.
Apo raised his palms in response, and the two of them put their palms together, and there was a "bang" sound. Jiang Shuo remained motionless, while Apo took a step back but stood firm. Yin Ziqi thought to himself: That day when he saw Apo fighting against the Nestorian King Pu, his martial arts were not very strong. On the other hand, Jiang Shuo had three palms against him, and his internal strength was really no match for his opponent. Why did the two of them fight against each other, but Jiang Shuo only won? Half a chip, did Apo have any reservations that day?
Jiang Shuo was also surprised. He immediately mobilized his inner strength and struck again with his palms. However, Apo did not dodge. He raised his palms and met Jiang Shuo again. This time, Jiang Shuo concentrated his energy in his palms and used all his strength to strike. Unexpectedly, Apo He unexpectedly received his palm firmly without moving his steps. I couldn't help but feel horrified. That day on the black ship, Yin Ziqi almost fell down when he received his first palm. When Apo received his first palm, he took a step back, but when he received the second palm with all his strength, he seemed to be relaxed. A lot, could it be that this person has been hiding his strength before?
Jiang Shuo didn't have time to think about it, he let out a long roar and clapped his hands together. He knew that Apo would definitely not dodge, so he used his arms with all his strength to compete with Apo in terms of internal strength. As expected, Apo also pushed forward with both palms, and He slapped him again for the third time. This time, not only did Apo's feet not move at all, nor did his body sway, but Jiang Shuo's arms were shaken, and his feet were helpless. He even took two steps back, his chest feeling heavy, "Wow. " spit out a mouthful of blood.
