"A arrogant boy, how dare you insult the leader, the Fire God will not forgive you!"

"The rude boy should be thrown into the holy fire and burned to ashes!"

The people around him started to clamor, especially one of the old women covered in black veils, who shouted the most happily, as if Li Mu was the enemy who killed her whole family. Jin Chen looked at Li Mu and saw that he was stalking his neck without any compromise, so he sighed helplessly and said to the old woman, "High Priest, detain him first. Don't hurt him, I believe he will figure it out."

"Master!"

"High Priest, I am the leader!"

The old woman glanced at Li Mu resentfully, winked at the two warriors who were escorting him, and gave a way in the middle of the crowd, blindfolded Li Mu and took him out. Li Mu couldn't see the road, and he didn't know how long he had walked. When someone pulled off the cloth from his eyes, he was already in a prison. Moreover, this prison seemed to be a dungeon, because he could see the stars at the slightest head, and there were walls around him.

What if it rains a little? You won’t be drowned?

Li Mu thought secretly and shouted, "Master, I'm hungry, find me something delicious!"

No one paid attention to him. After a while, a bag of water and a noodle nan from the breathable window where you could see the stars was thrown away from the breathable window. There was no problem with the things, but this attitude was very rude. Li Mu jumped his feet and cursed, but no one paid attention to it anymore. Li Mu was so tired of scolding that he sat down, picked up the naan and water on the ground, muttering while eating. Now he had no other way except to speak happily.

Calculate the day. Today is the 30th day since I left Chang'an, which is exactly one month. I don't know if the news of my kidnap has been passed back.

If Qiaoqiao knew, could she still be able to take care of her baby? I don’t know if that girl Zhien can take care of her, take good care of her family, and Wang Ou, would she not leave after she knew the news, or she was really ruthless, and even if she knew, she didn’t care. Instead, she took herself too seriously and was self-indulgent.

With all the twists and turns around, Li Mu sighed and suddenly couldn't eat it.

...

At this time, an unusual question was taking place in an underground palace not far away. The old woman who was just shouting that she wanted to execute Li Mu was questioning Jin Chen and Yin Yue. Jin Chen, who had just been respected by the church members, was like a primary school student scolded by the teacher in front of the old woman, and there was no demeanor as a leader.

"You two said you should follow the results of divination and go to the East to find a savior. Is it this young boy? Jin Chen, don't think that you have become the leader and relying on the position of the Holy Fire Order in the hearts of the church, you can exercise the power of divination at will. Others don't know what divination is, so how could I not know? I originally thought that you could still play some tricks, but now it seems that I am superior to you."

The old woman suddenly jumped to Jin Chen's eyes, like a ghost. "I ask you, now, do you still want to resist stubbornly? The Western Turkic army arrived soon, and it was time to choose. Do you want to take the tribe members to die with you?"

The old woman glared at her eyes and shouted gloomyly, "Jin Chen, you should understand that if the incoming leader had not insisted on passing the position of leader to you, this position should have been mine! Why not abdicate and give it to me, and from now on, the troubles have nothing to do with you, what if?"

"High priest, the old leader passed the position of the leader to me. It was the will of the gods. You were present at the ceremony, so how could you say such words? My divination is also the will of the gods. You think you understand, but in fact you don't understand that this is the power that only the leader can exercise. Only the leader can pray to the heavens. You are just a sacrifice and have no qualifications to spy on!"

"Ha!" the old woman laughed, "I didn't see other abilities. I learned about this sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed skill with the previous teaching leader! Okay, if you don't abdicate, then you just wait, wait for the Western Turkic iron hooves to rage and wait for the collector of the tribesmen!"

The old woman poked the iron stick in her hand and turned around and walked out. Jin Chen walked away as she listened to the sound of footsteps, and then she fell down like a deflated ball.

Yin Yue was worried, "Master, it seems that the high priest is determined to surrender to the Western Turks. I am afraid that when we are not here, we would have contacted each other privately. On our side, Li Mu seems to be determined to help. What should we do now?"

"Should you wait."

"Wait?" Yin Yue said anxiously, "How about waiting? Haven't you heard the high priest say? The Western Turkic army is coming soon, and it's time to make a decision. If you are looking to the Tang Dynasty, we should let our tribe members clean up now. If you are looking to the Western Turkic Dynasty, you should hand over Li Mu to them at this time. He is the military marquis of the Tang Dynasty and a person as heavy as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is definitely a great achievement. With this contribution, our tribe members are also-"

"Don't say it!" Jin Chen interrupted Yin Yue's words, saying word by word, "Li Mu has kind to me, and I will never hurt Li Mu's life!"

"Master!" Yin Yue was also anxious and stomped her feet and said, "Don't be blinded by the love of her children. You only care about him and don't care about the tribe members? When we went to Chang'an, why did you forget what you told me? "

"I..." Jin Chen opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. After a while, Jin Chen waved his hand and said, "Yinyue, I'm tired for several days. I'm tired. I want to rest early. Nothing is bad for this day. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay," Yin Yue bowed and turned and left. Jin Chen looked at her back and suddenly felt sad. She and Yin Yue grew up together. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were like sisters. But just now, she felt that Yin Yue might not be in the same mind as her. But she could not say that Yin Yue was wrong. She was also thinking about the tribe's people, and she was also doubting whether she was emotionally active.

Jin Chen took out a tortoise shell from his arms and gently stroked the cracks on the tortoise shell. She did not lie and went to the east to find the savior. It was the answer she told her. The divination method she came to this conclusion was indeed taught to her by the previous leader when she died. She did it completely according to the steps and there was no mistake at all.

Jin Chen put the tortoise shell back in his arms, took off his golden clothes, changed into black night clothes, slipped out of the underground palace from the secret passage, and disappeared in the night.

...

Li Mu set a fire in the dungeon, and the fuel he used was not known to be the bones of humans or beasts. When he was just about to sleep, he was just lying down and was hit by a piece of bones. He reached out and touched them again and touched them, and found a lot of bones. I don’t know how long these bones have been here, and some of them have even weathered.

Li Mu raised a pile of bone slags with his hands, and the saying of ghost fire suddenly appeared in his mind. According to legend, ghost fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the bones. There are so many bone slags here, so it should be ignited.

Life is in full swing, Li Mu will no longer be afraid of ghosts. The dungeon is cold and cold, and the night is cool and the wind is cold, so it is also good to light a fire to keep warm.

Li Mu used two long bones to test, rubbed them with the method of drilling wood to make fire, and after a long time, he really lit it. He led the fire into the pile of bones that had just been crushed, and the fire became prosperous. Only then did Li Mu see that this was not a dungeon, and it was almost the same as Diling. Apart from him, he was living, he was all sitting upright, as if someone was placing it here.

For sacrifice?

Li Mu didn't dare to think about it carefully. Although he was a little scared, he thought that he was about to become one of them, and that little fear disappeared.

"They are all lonely ghosts, and you will not be reborn even if you stay here. Everyone is a worldly desolate person. I will do it well. I will give you a cremation. You will warm me up. Everyone will not lose money when they take the needs."

Li Mu muttered in his heart, throwing skeletons into the fire, and the fire became even more intense.

Such great fear broke through, and Li Mu's heart suddenly felt clear. If a person puts life and death aside, there would be few things that could make him afraid. Li Mu looked at the water bags and dough noodles on the ground and thought for a moment. If he didn't eat, he would not eat it in vain. Even if he died, he could not be considered a starving ghost. What if he could live? If he didn't have the energy to escape because he didn't eat, he would be so unfair!

eat!

Li Mu picked up the noodle and chewed it in his mouth. Just like countless nights, when he was working overtime alone in the company, he was full of bread and bottle of mineral water.

While eating, Li Mu picked up the thigh bones of some unlucky guy and threw them into the fire. He also lit a torch to burn the spider webs on the wall, which could be regarded as cleaning his temporary "home". Suddenly, he stopped and found that there seemed to be words on the wall.

Li Mu threw the shortened leg bones in his hand into the fire, then broke them off and lit them, and went to look at the wall again, wanting to see what was written, but before he could see clearly, footsteps came from his head. Li Mu hurriedly threw the bones in his hand to the ground, he didn't want people to discover that he had discovered the secret of the wall.

"Marty..."

It's Jin Chen.

Li Mu snorted, sat down against the wall, pulled two skeletons to block himself, determined to ignore her.

Jin Chen came to the skylight and saw the light of fire below. He thought it was the high priest who was trying to kill Li Mu's life. He quickly lay down and saw a green bonfire. When he saw the bones scattered everywhere, Jin Chen understood what was going on and smiled bitterly in his heart. Such a shocking thing would have been surprising to others, but Li Mu did it. Although it was unexpected, he was not surprised, because he was a rebellious person.

Jin Chen took advantage of the fire and looked carefully, found Li Mu among the two skeletons, and whispered, "Mr. Marquis, don't hide, I'll see you."

"Stop calling, I'm dead. I just heard what you said. You are called "Zoropaedia in Middle-earth". Don't bother you anymore. I cremate myself, and you won't have to do anything."

Jin Chen ignored Li Mu's sarcasm, sat next to the skylight, and said to himself, "I know you must hate me in your heart, but don't you want to hear my difficulties?"

"Bad!" Li Mu sneered and said, "Your difficulties? Your difficulties have nothing to do with me? I originally thought I was unreasonable enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more unreasonable than me. If you have difficulties, you can kidnap me here? If you have difficulties, I have to care about you? Then can I say that? I have difficulties now, so please help me with suicide, okay?"

Jin Chen once again ignored Li Mu's nonsense and said to himself, "Why is our sect called Zhongtu Zoroastrianism? Do you want to know?"

"In no mood!"

"I'll tell you."

Li Mu rolled his eyes. He understood. Jin Chen came here just to tell him the cause and effect. Even if he didn't want to listen, Jin Chen would say that she just had to let herself know.

Stupid woman, do you think I will forgive you if I tell you my hard work? Impossible!

Li Mu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, intending to let himself fall asleep. When he fell asleep, he could not hear the woman's words. No matter what she said had nothing to do with him!

"This Zoroastrianism was not a sect from the Central Plains, but was transmitted from the Western Regions. I heard from the leader that it was further west of the Western Regions, and to the west of the Western Turks, there was a place called Persia. Zoroastrianism came from Persia. And our tribesmen were originally from the Central Plains. Although they believed in the God of Fire, their doctrines were different from Persia. So we called Zoroastrianism in Middle-earth to show the distinction."

"But after the Turks migrated to the west, they could not be connected with the Persian Zoroastrianism. We rarely say that we are Middle-Turkish Zoroastrianism, so we just call it Zoroastrianism."

Li Mu rolled his eyes and said, what does this have to do with me?

"Our clan is called the Yin clan. I don't know what the original surname was, nor do I know the elders of the clan. Now we only know that the Yin clan has four surnames, namely gold, silver, copper and iron."

What's this called a bullshit surname? What's the joke?

As if he heard Li Mu's voice, Jin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's just passed down, and the younger generation cannot change it."

"Among the four surnames, the two surnames of gold and silver are the best. There are few people, but they are in charge of the Yin clan. There are many people in the Tong and Iron clan, but they all belong to the two surnames of gold and silver. The position of the clan leader has always been born among the two surnames of gold and silver."

"Since I believed in the Zoroastrianism, the rules have been slightly changed. When the Jin surname was the leader, Yin was the clan leader, and when the Yin surname was the leader, Jin surname was the clan leader. The Jin surname was the clan leader, Yin surname was the clan leader, Yin surname was the clan leader, Jin surname was the clan leader, and Jin surname was the clan leader. This has been like this for hundreds of years. Only when the leader or the clan leader suddenly dies and the next term is not designated, will the deputy clan leader or the deputy clan leader temporarily be replaced, and the leader of the same surname and the clan leader appear."

Li Mu secretly praised the separation of divine power and monarch power, which was considered advanced in this era.

"In this generation, I became the leader of the sect, Yinyue became my deputy. If I die, Yinyue will succeed him. Yinyue's father is the leader of this generation. Her grandmother is the high priest you just met."
