Chapter 125 The three major religions besiege the Yuqing Palace
Savilan Mountain east of Tabriz City has beautiful winds and sunny skies. This mountain is different from other places because it is very humid near the sea and has rich vegetation. It has some characteristics of the Qinling Mountains.
It turns out that the sacred temple of Zoroastrianism has been turned into a Taoist palace with carved beams and paintings. However, in front of the second palace of this palace, there is a building that looks like an archway and a gate and has the local characteristics of Khorezm. It is different from the original Taoist palace.
It's a bit out of place, but you'll get used to it after seeing it more.
If locals see it, they will recognize it as the swaying tower of the original Zoroastrian temple. If someone shakes against the wall on one tower, the tower will sway, and even the corresponding tower on the other side will sway accordingly.
This can be regarded as a manifestation of local architectural culture, and the existence of the shaking tower is also an important monthly ritual that Zoroastrianism has performed for hundreds of years.
In order to show respect for the local religion, Lin Qingxuan asked Song Defang to leave the shaking tower, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the Quanzhen religion's kindness and tolerance of other religions.
Today is the Quanzhen Sect's Yuqing Palace Ancestor Worship Ceremony. Hundreds of Quanzhen Taoists gathered in the Yuqing Palace. Since today is a grand ceremony within the sect, the Mongolian officials who guard the area, local chiefs, believers and others were not invited to attend the ceremony. It was so large
There are only a hundred Taoist priests and more than 30 local Huihu young Taoist boys in the Sanjin Palace.
Dozens of Quanzhen disciples took seven or eight kinds of musical instruments such as reed flutes, tambourines, two-stringed drums, Tambor three-stringed instruments, dulcimer, and konghou bought from the local area, and played the famous Taoist tune "Buxu Diao" with playing instruments.
Under the exotic Taoist Buxu rhyme tune, Changchun real person Qiu Chuji, Yuyang real person Wang Chuyi and Guangning real person Hao Datong are wearing apricot yellow Taoist robes, purple robes, lotus crowns on their heads, and curved arms.
Holding a horsetail whisk, he led his disciples to chant sutras and burn incense, burn incense and pray, and conduct a grand ceremony.
Two hours passed by in a blink of an eye, and the Ancestor Worship Ceremony had come to an end.
The third son and his disciples walked into the final hall of the Patriarchs and kowtowed to the golden bodies of the Patriarchs of the Sanqing Dynasty, Donghua Emperor, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, and Chongyang Patriarch one by one. The ceremony was completed when the kowtows were completed.
The tune of "Taixu Xing" in the palace suddenly became chaotic, as if several strings of the konghou were broken.
As soon as the music in the palace stopped, all the Taoists heard a sudden noise outside the palace, which seemed to be the roaring and shouting of the local barbarians.
Quanzhen Sanzi frowned.
Today is the Quanzhen Jade Ceremony, the Qing Palace's ancestral sacrifice ceremony. Everyone in the city of Dalishi knows this. The common people, officials and nobles outside the city dare not go into the mountains to make noise.
Song Defang had lived in Tabriz for many years and had long been familiar with the languages of several ethnic groups in Khorezm.
He listened for a moment, then approached Qiu Chuji with a solemn expression, and whispered: "Master, the people outside the palace are people from the Zoroastrian Cult, the Ming Cult, and the Tianfang Cult. Their language is very disrespectful to our religion. They want us to let go."
Leaving Yuqing Palace..."
Qiu Chuji and his three sons also knew that Mongolia was launching a massive western expedition, and although Qingxuan Zhenjun could restrain the army from committing crimes, the spread of the Quanzhen Sect to the west would naturally offend the local religion.
Nowadays, in the vast western region where the original Khorezm is located, Zoroastrianism is in decline. The Ming sect seems to have the same origin as Zoroastrianism, but it is much more prosperous and can almost compete with the most powerful Tianfang sect in the Western Regions.
Before Qiu Chuji and others came, they knew that there would be disputes with the three major religions in the Western Regions. However, Taoism was peaceful. Even the Mongolian state religion would not force people to believe in Taoism, but they would use their own methods to convert those who were destined, so they rushed before leaving.
Yu then told them to put patience first.
After listening to Song Defang's words, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, and Hao Datong all felt their hearts sink. They knew that today the Tianfang Sect, the Zoroastrian Sect, and the Ming Sect all came together, it would definitely be difficult for them to do good. However, since they were all coming, they and the others would have to continue.
.
"Since we are here to be honored friends, two junior brothers, our Quanzhen Sect will become friends of the three sects in the Western Regions."
The three disciples of Quanzhen opened the middle door and filed out. They saw that the stone square in front of Yuqing Palace was already full of people, ranging from a few to hundreds. Their dress and appearance showed that they were local people.
The two stone lions that had been placed in front of the palace gate for just a month had disappeared. Qiu Chuji looked at the crowd and saw that the largest group of people, who were vaguely the leaders of the three religions, had two huge stone lions placed in the crowd.
stone lion.
It is conceivable that these two stone lions were moved away by people from the three major religions.
Although Qiu Chuji had superb Taoism and advanced cultivation, he still couldn't help but get angry when he saw that the three major sects had moved the stone lions from the Yuqing Palace.
I have some advice, but how did the stone lion, which is not from my Quanzhen sect, get into your eyes and take it away without telling you?"
Qiu Chuji did not understand Persian and Arabic, and he spoke Chinese with a Shandong accent. However, several people in the crowd opposite changed their expressions after hearing this, and seemed to understand them completely.
Song Defang stepped forward and Luck translated it once, and everyone in the three religions immediately began to chatter.
A thunderous voice sounded: "Alam, I pray you..." The disciples of the three religions stopped talking when they heard this.
Song Defang whispered: "Shut up!"
After speaking, he pointed to the largest group of bearded men in white clothes and white hats in front of them, and said: "They are disciples of the Tianfang Sect. Those in the west who wear white robes with hoods and embroidered with fire patterns are from the Persian Ming Sect, and those in the east wear white robes.
Those who don’t wear black cylindrical hats and have images of human body and bird wings on their bodies are Zoroastrian disciples.”
Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, and Hao Datong glanced at each other and saw that they had many disciples, but the ones headed by the three sects all had deep eyes, tall noses, handsome faces, and neatly groomed beards. The difference was their age.
Hao Datong said in a deep voice: "Brother Qiu, I saw that the eyes of the leaders of their three religions were flashing with fierceness. Although I don't know how good their martial arts are, the person who just shouted seems to have better skills than me."
Qiu Chuji looked at the person who had just shouted. He was a leader of the Tianfang Sect. He was extremely fat and seemed to be at least nine feet tall. He had a white cloth wrapped around his head. After speaking, he walked up to the two stone lions and opened his left and right hands.
He lifted up the two stone statues weighing several thousand kilograms by lifting them up on the stone lion. He had two arms lying across each other, and a stone lion was placed on one shoulder.
The giant man walked towards the field step by step. The stone slabs under his feet were broken into pieces by his steps. With the sound of gravel, the giant man stood like an iron tower more than two feet in front of Qiu Chuji's third path.
"I am Alibaba, the great mufti of the Purity Sect of the Tianfang Sect. You are the Quanzhen Sect. You are preaching in our western regions and destroying the Zoroastrian temple. This is wrong. Your national preceptor is not a good person. I have heard that Qingxuan's national preceptor is very
Awesome, today, let's see how powerful your Quanzhen Sect is, can you three old Taoist priests catch my stone lion?"
Alibaba's tone was weird, but he spoke authentic Chinese. After speaking, he relaxed his shoulders, stretched out his arms, and the stone lion smashed down toward the nose of Qiu Chu's aircraft with a whining sound.
These two stone lions originally weighed two thousand kilograms. When combined with Alibaba's magical power, they weighed more than ten thousand kilograms. Although Qiu Chuji's martial arts has greatly improved now, he is still in his seventies, and his muscles and bones are not as strong as they were more than thirty years ago.
, I thought that it would be difficult to take it on my own, but I couldn't work with Wang Chuyi to separate the two stone statues, otherwise even if I take it, the three sects of the Western Region would look down upon me.
Qiu Chuji moved his steps and stepped on the Gangstep. He stood in the position of Tianquan with Beidou Dafa. He used both hands to fight with each other. He used the Kongming Fist to hold it under the two stone lions. The ten thousand kilograms of power was transformed by Qiu Chuji's Kongming Fist.
Eighty percent has been gone, and most of the remaining 20% has been transformed by Beidou Dafa.
Wang Chuyi and Hao Datong each grabbed the stone lions that had been taken from Qiu Chuji's hands. They stretched out their arms and threw them, and the two stone lions flew two feet away, and landed exactly at their original positions in front of the Yuqing Palace gate, one to the east and the other to the west.
It looked like it had never moved.
The three Quanzhen disciples caught the stone lion with one hand and threw the stone lion for their unique skills. Not only were the disciples of the Quanzhen sect cheered and praised, but even the disciples of the three major sects of the Western Regions who came to question the crime could not help but cheer loudly.
After all, Qiu Chuji Sandao looked gray-haired, old and thin, and thought he was going to be beaten to death by Alibaba's two stone lions.
Unexpectedly, they had superb martial arts skills. The red-faced old Taoist who was the leader of the Quanzhen Sect was able to catch two stone lions on his own, and the other two old Taoists threw the stone lions back to their original positions without missing a beat. This shows that the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts were used in China
It is not for nothing that it is called the authentic martial arts in the world.
Alibaba also expressed admiration and said: "The old Taoist priest is very powerful." After saying that, he turned and looked at his grand imam, the sect leader Muhammad.
"Headmaster of the Grand Imam, the Quanzhen Taoists are very skilled in martial arts. I am no match for the three Taoists. The Zoroastrian Cult has a grudge against the Quanzhen Cult. Let's let the Zoroastrian Cult take the lead first."
Ali Baba spoke Arabic. The great imam holding a black iron staff looked at the Zoroastrian group and said: "Aneja, your Zoroastrian sect has the greatest hatred against the Quanzhen sect. You are taking the lead, and we will not stand idly by."
The leader of the Ming Cult was an old man with a hooked nose. He also said coldly: "The Quanzhen Sect is the enemy of the Zoroastrian Cult and the enemy of my Ming Cult. Brother Anejia, go ahead. If you can't defeat the Quanzhen Taoist priests,
I will also take action."
The leader of the Zoroastrian Cult is a short middle-aged man. He nodded and said: "Brother Ayimu, our two religions have the same origin. This time I took revenge and took back the temple. I will become your leader and become a Dharma King."
, these three veteran martial arts are very powerful, I am afraid they are not much weaker than Master Qingxuan. I may not be able to achieve the magical skill of bathing in fire. If I lose, I will take action immediately."
The leader of the Fire Worship Cult, Anejia, seemed quite afraid of the Quanzhen Cult, but the honor and disgrace of the sect was related to the rise and fall of the sect, so he did not dare not to take action. As soon as he moved his steps, he stood in the field with extremely superb Qinggong movements, frowned and gritted his teeth and said: "You are
Taoist Qiu Chuji, you are a member of the Wang Chu sect, and you are a member of the Hao Datong sect. Your True Lord Qingxuan used the Burning Heaven Palm to hurt the saint of our religion. You have demolished my holy temple and occupied the holy land of our religion. We will fight to the death.
, Today I’m here to kill you and destroy the Dao Palace!”
After Anejia finished speaking, he waved his hands, and a stream of hot air with a burning smell came to Qiu Chuji.
Qiu Chuji felt his face burning with pain and hurriedly waved his sleeves to disperse the heat, only to see that Anejia's two dry palms shaped like chicken feet had been grasped in front of him.
Qiu Chuji had never seen such a weird move before. He turned his hands and faced the dragon hand with a palm.
"Bo!"
With a soft sound, Anejia took three steps back, while Qiu Chuji only took one step back. However, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his hands and saw that the palms of his hands were black. A burning sensation poured into the meridians of both hands, and the pain was unbearable.
Qiu Chuji hurriedly used his kung fu to resist, and the black energy spreading upward from his palm was gradually pushed back to the wrist.
Anejia saw that Qiu Chuji was hit by his Fire God's Palm and not only did he not die, but he was able to use his martial arts to resist. He exclaimed in surprise, and with a flick of his shoulder, he slapped Qiu Chuji's heart again.
Qiu Chuji raised his leg and kicked out to temporarily force Anejia back. Wang Chuyi had already drawn the long sword from his back and rushed out. He used the subtle skills of Quanzhen swordsmanship in an instant, forcing Anejia back continuously. He had to dance with his hands and let out a scorching heat. The air current forced Wang Chuyi to get closer than three feet in front of him.
Seeing that Quanzhen's master was really powerful, Anejia shouted: "Why don't you take action?!"
Ayimu, the leader of the Ming Cult, flew out with a somersault, and suddenly kicked Wang Chuyi's back with his legs. Wang Chuyi hurriedly used his left hand to block the ice with a frost-breaking palm. Ayimu saw Wang Chu's sharp palm technique, and he was in the air again. It flew half a foot into the air and crashed down.
Wang Chuyi saw such weird moves for the first time, so he slipped and dodged. However, Ayimu's endless weird moves came one after another. In an instant, Wang Chuyi was tired of dealing with them and was at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Senior Brother Wang was at a disadvantage and that Senior Brother Qiu had been plotted by the enemy's Fire Poison Palm, Hao Datong hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Quanzhen disciples quickly form the Tiangang Beidou Formation!"
Quanzhen disciples hurriedly formed a formation with swords, while Hao Datong drew his sword and rushed out to attack Ayimu.
Although Ayimu's martial arts was superior to Wang Chuyi's, seeing that Hao Datong's swordsmanship seemed to be inferior to that of Wang Chuyi, he jumped away.
Hao Datong and Wang Chuyi hurriedly returned to Qiu Chuji. The three stood side by side and used the seven-star gathering skill. The three of them combined their skills and instantly forced the poison from Qiu Chuji's palm to his fingertips. He hurriedly cut his finger with his long sword. , a stream of hot purple blood shot out.
Qiu Chuji breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the hundreds of disciples of the Zoroastrian Cult and the Ming Cult who were already vaguely surrounding them. He also glanced at the many masters of the Tianfang Cult who were still watching from the sidelines. He knew that today was a major crisis for the Quanzhen Cult.
The three of my senior brothers used the Gathering of Seven Stars to resist the leader of the Zoroastrian Cult and the leader of the Ming Cult. However, there were two masters of the Fang Cult, the Grand Mufti and the Grand Imam, who did not take action that day. If they tried again, the three of my senior fellow apprentices would be defeated. People are afraid that they will lose their lives in the Western Region.
After trying out the skills of the three Quanzhen disciples, Ayimu already had confidence in his heart. He looked at Aneja and said: "Brother, if our two sects work together, the Quanzhen sect's Yuqing Palace can be destroyed. After destroying the Yuqing Palace, See how the Quanzhen Religion is still preaching in our territory?"
Anejia took out two flaming iron plates, flew over, and quickly pointed at Hao Datong's heart gate.
A flash of purple energy flashed across Hao Datong's face, and he blocked Anejia's blow with the sword.
Anejia's arm was shaken violently, and he said in horror: "Why is the old Taoist priest so powerful? Master, please do it quickly."
Anejia didn't know how powerful the Gathering of Seven Stars was, and besides being frightened, Hao Datong's martial arts was far superior to hers. He immediately recognized Ayimu as the leader, showing his attitude of converting to the Ming Cult.
Ayimu, the leader of the Ming Cult, also took out two two-foot-long black tokens. They were shaped like arrows, neither gold nor jade. They were engraved with patterns and characters. They seemed to be translucent, with a faint sight of flying flames. You could tell at a glance that they were tokens. treasure.
Ayimu flew over and attacked Qiu Chuji with Anejia. Although the moves were weird and exquisite, Qiu Chuji was often unable to parry them. However, with the strength of the gathering of seven stars, the three paths could not cope with the moves of Ayimu and the two. , the powerful force of the sword swing made the two of them dare not neglect, so they had to withdraw their moves to resist.
Therefore, although the two sect leaders and the three disciples of Quanzhen were fighting fiercely for a while, both sides knew mentally that it would take hundreds of moves to determine the outcome.
Ayi Muduan shouted: "We are here today not to compete in martial arts, but to fight for the life and death of the sect. It's rare that the Mongols are not around. The disciples quickly killed all the Quanzhen thieves and burned down the Yuqing Palace to promote the power of my holy fire!" "
Zoroastrian and Mingjiao disciples drew out their machetes and spears, shouted religious slogans, and rushed towards the Quanzhen disciples who had formed the Tiangang Beidou formation.
Immediately in front of the Yuqing Palace gate, shouts of killing and the clash of weapons were heard. The number of disciples on the Mingjiao side was more than twice that of the Quanzhen sect. However, because the Quanzhen disciples were selected elites, they formed a group. After entering the Tiangang Beidou Formation, the Mingjiao disciples suffered heavy casualties upon contact.
Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Alibaba asked eagerly: "Master, shall we take action?"
Headmaster Mohammed narrowed his eyes and said: "Don't worry, let the Ming Cult and the Quanzhen Cult kill for a while longer, and we will take action later. Not only can the Quanzhen Cult be wiped out, but the Ming Cult will also suffer heavy casualties. Don’t you dare disobey us.”
Alibaba laughed and said: "The master is great. A smart cat can always catch two mice at the same time. Let's just wait."
