At this time, another young man walked into the courtyard. This man was dressed in a gray cloth shirt and a soft cloth turban. He was dressed like an ordinary civil servant. He looked like a crown jewel and looked quite elegant. He was An Lushan's subordinate. Although Yan Zhuang was just a low-level official, he was An Lushan's important adviser and An Qingxu's main ally.
I heard Yan Zhuang say in his usual cynical tone: "Apo is a man who is acting against his will. An Zhongcheng has long been very dissatisfied with him. He has obviously built the Mani Temple in Fan Yang and moved the Holy Fire, but he still refuses to do so. Extinguish the holy fire here."
Ruixi let out a "humph" after hearing this. He originally planned to raid the main altar, remove the holy fire and then extinguish the main altar's holy fire to challenge Apo's authority, but now he heard that Fan Yang had built the Mani Temple and moved the holy fire into the main altar. , this move has no deterrent effect.
Yan Zhuang continued: "Apo is mean and untrustworthy, and he is not pleased by An Zhongcheng, but An Zhongcheng appreciates you very much, Elder Ruixi."
Ruixi smiled and said, "Oh, Ruixi is just a farmer digging in the soil, An Lushan still knows about me?"
Yan Zhuang quickly waved his hand and said: "Elder Ruixi is too modest. Mingli Hall is the best digging army in the world. How can Elder Ruixi be an ordinary farmer?"
Ruixi said: "If you don't want to be the first digger, does An Lushan want us to fight for him?"
Yan Zhuang said: "Elder, you misunderstood. We are here not to recruit helpers, but for Manichaeism! An Zhongcheng said that Elder Ruixi served Mingzun the most devoutly, unlike Apo who served Mu Cha. They do not respect the way of Mani, have lax precepts in their religion, and suffer from moral corruption, so that they are called a demonic sect.”
Ruixi still smiled and said, "Hey, even though An Lushan is so fat that he can't even walk, he knows everything about the world, so how is he going to treat him?"
Yan Zhuang suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Of course I will extinguish the holy fire, move the main altar to Fan Yang, depose Apo and select another worthy person to be Da Mucha."
Jiang Shuo was lying on the beam and was shocked when he heard this. The meaning of Yan Zhuang's words was that An Lushan intended to support Ruixi to become Da Mucha and replace Abo. It seems that Abo has failed to do things well several times, and An Lushan has grown tired of him.
Ruixi suddenly burst out laughing and said, "An Lushan is so calculating! He sends Apo out to do things for himself, but at the same time sends people to pick him up from his lair. It's really like the fox and the rabbit are cooked before the lackeys are done, hehehe... "
Jiang Shuo remembered that in the Shaolin Temple, there was only one Shi Siming in the Yan army who pretended to be the master of the Southern Shaolin Shenhui, but it turned out that all the main forces came here to attack the Demon Cult General Altar? I don’t know if it was An Lushan’s idea or a poisonous plan set by Yan Zhuang, let alone where the Demon Sect’s gang has gone now.
At this time, a yellow lump suddenly appeared in a cave in the courtyard. The lump suddenly spoke and said, "Elder Ruixi..." It was the believer who had just gone out. He looked out and saw the situation in the courtyard. He quickly shrank his head and tried to dig back, but Yin Ziqi quickly pounced on him, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the hole.
Yin Ziqi threw the man to the ground. The man looked at the black warriors in the yard and was very frightened. Ruixi comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. How is it outside?"
Seeing Ruixi's calm expression, the man couldn't help but calm down a little, and said: "We had a great advantage against Miaofengtang using the method of tunnel connection. Although the two envoys of the Light have high martial arts, there is nothing they can do about us traveling in the tunnel. But suddenly countless warriors in black came, first driving them away with smoke, and then suppressing them with crossbows. The brothers either surrendered or fled, and they were already defeated."
Jiang Shuo looked up and saw that it was late at night, but he saw several thick dust pillars rising in front of the starry sky background, and smelled a strong smell of smoke. It seemed that Yiluohe had used smoke tactics as the man said.
At this time, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen also returned to the courtyard. Both of them were disgraced. It seemed that they had been tortured by the believers of Minglitang.
Tian Qianzhen kept spitting out the sand in his mouth and said: "Ruixi, you have gone too far. You dug the outside of the main altar into ant holes and mouse nests. It took a lot of effort for us to dig them out." They were all blasted out."
Ruixi gritted his teeth and said, "Cui Qianyou! Tian Qianzhen! I said that although you have done all the bad things, you are still loyal to Abo, which can be called a righteous word. I didn't expect that you actually took refuge in Anlu Mountain. This is apostasy!" "
Tian Qian was really beaten by him
Hou suddenly lost his temper, but Cui Qianyou glared and said: "Why are we a traitors? An Zhongcheng is the reincarnation of the God of War under Ming Zun, and he is the greatest envoy of wisdom since the master of Mani. We are not driven by him. should."
Ruixi glanced at Cui Qianyou with disdain and said nothing. The scene he saw was very embarrassing. Yan Zhuang coughed twice and said: "The reincarnation of the God of War and the messenger of wisdom are just rumors, not An Zhongcheng himself. An Zhongcheng did not want to interfere in the affairs of the divine religion, but he really couldn't stand what Abo was doing, so he took this step. Elder An Zhongcheng, Su Zhiruixi, was also very dissatisfied with Abo, and Cui and Tian envoys In fact, it’s the same as you, it’s just that you, elder, are resisting in the open, and there are many people like the Second Envoy of Light who are secretly waiting for the opportunity.”
Ruixi sneered and said, "In that case, after deposing Apo, An Lushan will be the great Mu Cha."
Yan Zhuang waved his hand and said: "Hey... An Zhongcheng said that he is a member of the imperial court and has the important responsibility of guarding the border. He will never covet the position of Mu Cha. The position of Da Mu Cha must be filled by Elder Ruixi. Everyone."
As soon as these words came out, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen, not to mention Ruixi, were all shocked. Cui Qianyou said: "Mr. Yan, this Ruixi has been expelled from the cult. Let him become Damuchi." Isn’t it appropriate?”
An Qingxu suddenly asked: "Who excommunicated Elder Ruixi?"
Cui Qianyou knew that he was the second son of An Lushan and did not dare to offend him. He crossed his hands and said, "Report to Mr. An that Ruixi does not respect the religious rules and imposes private precepts on the believers, so Damuchan excommunicated him."
An Qingxu pretended not to know and said, "Oh, what kind of precepts have you given in private?"
Cui Qianyou said: "My god's religion is a vegetarian, but Ruixi allows his disciples to eat meat."
Ruixi snorted and said, "Master Mani made the rule about vegetarian food in order to avoid cravings, but the followers of my sect eat meat and fish to satisfy their hunger..." Jiang Shuo was wondering, why are these things happening? If a believer can survive by eating meat, will he die if he eats vegetarian food? But Ting Ruixi continued: "There are many poor people like boatmen and hunters in my hall. They go into the water to catch fish and go up to the mountains to hunt for meat. They don't spend a penny, but if they want to eat vegetables, they need to spend money." They buy it at the market. For them, eating meat is not a desire, but eating vegetables is a desire."
Jiang Shuo suddenly realized after hearing this, and thought that there was some truth in this statement. He had lived on a boat with the Caobang brothers, and had lived in the mountains and forests with Khitan hunters. For them, eating fish and meat was indeed better than eating meat. Dishes are much more convenient.
Cui Qianyou said: "It's all sophistry! Breaking the precepts means breaking the precepts. Ruixi, you are just an elder of the same church. What right do you have to open the precepts privately?"
Ruixi retorted and said sarcastically, "I can't take the precepts, but Damucha can take the precepts. As long as I give him money, not to mention the precepts of sex, even if I commit such serious crimes as killing animals and intercourse with women, I can be forgiven."
Cui Qianyou said anxiously: "Slander, slander! It's all groundless slander!"
An Qingxu stretched out his hand impatiently and pressed down on Cui Qianyou. Cui Qianyou immediately stopped talking. An Qingxu said: "It's nothing if I say eating meat. Isn't there a prohibition against meat in the Ten Commandments?" Cui Qianyou was about to speak. An Qingxu said Xu waved his hand impatiently and said, "My grandfather, An Zhongcheng, also eats meat." This statement was the final word, and Cui Qianyou had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.
Tian Qianzhen muttered on the side: "Anyway, people who are reformed and renounced as religious people cannot be great Muha..."
An Qingxu glared at him sternly. Jiang Shuo and An Qingxu hadn't seen each other for a long time, but he was more cruel than before. Tian Qianzhen didn't dare to speak out after being stared at by him. An Qingxu said loudly: "We are going to depose Apo today. What does the decision made by a deposed person count? Elder Ruixi's dismissal from the religion naturally does not count." He suddenly turned around and faced Ruixi. The believers under my command shouted: "Do you think so?"
Those believers were not accepted by the Manichean General Forum. Now that they heard An Qingxu stand up for their elders, they naturally responded and shouted: "That's right!" "Mr. An is right!" "That's the truth!"
An Qingxu asked again, "Do you agree or not that An Zhongcheng wants Elder Ruixi to be the Damuchi?"
Those believers had no reason to disagree. They shouted in unison: "Agree! Agree! Agree!"
Ye Qingyao said to Jiang Shuo: "This Mr. An
He is good at controlling people's hearts, so Ruixi is a little bit stuck. "
Ruixi didn't know that of course he also wanted to oust Abo, but he definitely didn't want to take advantage of An Lushan. He knew that An Lushan wanted to help him become Da Mu Cha, not for the sake of fairness and justice, but because he wanted another puppet on strings. .
Ruixi said in a lukewarm tone: "Mr. An, this is an internal matter within our teaching, so I don't need you to worry about it."
An Qingxu said: "What did the elder say? Manichaeism was driven by my grandpa. It was a sharp blade for the Yan army to penetrate into the Central Plains. Naturally, there is no room for error."
Ruixi secretly smiled in his heart and said: Hey, he is here as expected, but he said: "The Manichaean teachings teach people how to escape from suffering. They are all good believers. Most of the believers are poor common people, and they are not the sharp swords of anyone." "
An Qingxu looked angry when he heard that, and was about to explode on the spot, but Yan Zhuang said: "It's not too late to discuss the matters of doctrine and precepts back to Fan Yang..."
Ruixi said categorically: "No need! I want to go south to preach. Mr. Yan, let's take half of the way toward the sky."
An Qingxu said angrily: "It's okay to leave, just keep the fire!"
The purpose of Ruixi's visit this time was to steal the seeds of the Holy Fire. Manichaeism worshiped the Holy Fire and wanted to go south to preach. Without the Holy Fire, it would be unfair, so he could never hand over the seeds of the Holy Fire. But the purpose of Yan Jun's coming here is to extinguish the sacred fire of the main altar, so naturally he cannot allow anyone to take away the fire.
Ruixi couldn't help but hesitated about what to do. He had fought against the two envoys of Guangming before. Although he couldn't win, he was not afraid of these two people. Yan Zhuang didn't seem to know martial arts. Although An Qingxu looked ferocious, from the way he spoke It seems that Zhong Qi's internal strength cultivation is only average, but Yin Ziqi seems to be hiding his depth. For a moment, it is impossible to see through the depth of his kung fu, and the surrounding Ye Luohe faintly forms a small formation of seven people, and they are connected with each other. At the same time, it seems that there are many changes. Once the quarrel starts, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape easily.
What Ruixi didn't expect was that Jiang Shuo, who was hiding on the roof of the Holy Fire Hall, was also thinking about whether the village would show up to help Ruixi out of trouble. Jiang Shuo was not afraid to fight with anyone at the moment, but he was afraid that once he did, Ye Luohe warrior's The Xuanji Formation is actually the biggest problem. There will definitely be many casualties among the disciples of Minglitang.
While everyone was having their own thoughts and speculating on each other, they suddenly heard a loud Buddha's call from the roof: "Amitabha, the Yan army has gathered here again, what do you want?"
