Chapter 292 Walk through fire like a barbarian, step into a lotus flower
The fishing boat is heading towards the evening, and the ferry head is golden.
The fishermen who returned from fishing took small boats and headed back to their respective destinations. When they saw the crowds of people on the bank of Luoshui River, although they were curious, they did not dare to get too close and could only watch from a distance.
A dense crowd of believers knelt together, with firm eyes, and chanted hymns in unison. The altar leader He Guini glanced at the congregation, then slowly stood up, walked to the saint Xiaoman, raised his hands to make a flame and said: "Luozhou General Altar
The altar owner, He Kuini, together with the three temples Magek Kangsaiin, Minapu and Shita Li, led hundreds of thousands of believers to welcome the Holy Maiden!"
Xiaoman also raised his hands to make a flame, nodded slightly and said: "Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters! I have been blessed by the Lord God Ahura, and received instructions from Tina, the goddess of conscience. I set out from the Taixi Peak of the Holy City, traveled thousands of miles on camel, and experienced many calamities.
It was hard to see the yellow sand before walking on the middle soil. Now, with the naked eye, I can see the teachings of our religion spread to China, see the sacred fire of our religion spread across China, be treated with courtesy by saints, and be sincerely obeyed by all people. Fortunately, how magnificent!
Now that I have heard about Zoroastrianism in China, I want to spread the teachings, spread the meaning of the scriptures, use the holy Dharma to educate all people, create a good land, and open a happy land. This is an achievement that has never been done in thousands of years! Although Shaila Worthy was born in a foreign country, she is here now
I promise to live in the Central Plains, study scriptures and martial arts with my brothers and sisters, and guard against violence and bullying together. I want to understand good thoughts, establish good words, practice good deeds, eliminate evil and spread good, show benevolence, eliminate treacherous and evil spirits, and respect the loyal and virtuous. Now I want to go to the holy fire.
I swear, please look at it with the sun and the moon, and learn from it with the heaven and the earth!"
After hearing this, He Kuini raised his arms, poked the sun with his left hand, pointed at the moon with his right hand, and solemnly said: "Look at the sun and the moon together, learn from the heaven and the earth together, and light up the holy fire!"
Magak Kangsaiin, Mina Pu, and Shita Li, who were standing on the side, all stepped forward, inserted their torches into the willow mound, and immediately bowed away. The flames spread, from small to large, and gradually turned into a raging fire.
The smell of burning tung oil and firewood suddenly filled the surrounding area.
The holy fire is blazing, heat waves are rolling, and huge flames are beating in countless pairs of pupils, deep and passionate.
Xiaoman was wrapped in a plain holy robe and bowed to the holy fire Yingying, but he performed the ritual of bowing his head in the middle-earth manner.
When He Guini and others saw this, they did not dare to be negligent. They also knelt down, held their hands in front of them, and saluted:
"All the spirits in the three realms serve my divine master. They will eliminate evil and spread good, and bring peace to the royal land. The holy fire will be blazing, and all evil will be wiped out. Liberate all our people and free them from all suffering!"
The common people and fishermen who were looking around saw that the Zoroastrian believers were following the same example and knelt down to perform the bow ceremony. They couldn't help but began to whisper to each other and discuss in low voices. The sound was a little noisy at first, like the buzzing of bees, and soon
Then they started making a noise, like a herd of animals.
At this time, an angry shout rang out from the onlookers: "The Zoroastrian demons are extremely hypocritical. They only make people laugh by wearing a crown just like a monkey! Brothers, give them some stinky chickens!"
A group of people who seemed to have been prepared quickly rushed forward, each holding an egg basket made of wicker in their hands. It was round and full of chickens of different colors. They grabbed it with their hands and threw it into the open space.
Come.
These people had wind at their feet and steady feet. They were obviously a group of practitioners. However, the chickens in their hands were not thrown away casually. They were actually thrown at Xiaoman along with the command of the person in charge.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
Many chickens exploded on Xiao Mansu's holy clothes and at his feet, sending up bursts of black mist. Eggshells shattered all over the ground, and the scene was a mess.
He Guini and others were nearby. Everything happened suddenly, and there was no time to stop it. The smell of the black mist quickly diffused over. When He Guini, Consein and others smelled it, their expressions suddenly changed: "It's gunpowder."
!”
At this moment, countless chickens had dyed Xiaoman's holy clothes and the ground in front of him black. The last few chickens were thrown into the holy fire in front of Xiaoman without any bias!
"Bang -" A huge flame suddenly exploded the holy fire, and the little man in the open space was immediately swept away by a dazzling white light.
Countless firewood stained with flames were blown up by the heat wave and fell into the crowd of believers. In an instant, the crowd was panicked and wailed everywhere. The people watching the excitement quickly dispersed, fearing that they would be killed by this unexpected incident.
The misfortune affects oneself.
Among the believers, there were even those who were unfortunately hit in the hair, and flames several feet high suddenly burst out from their heads and faces. The screams rose from the ground and resounded throughout the mountains, adding to the panic on the ferry.
The person who took the lead and the person who finished throwing the chicken showed a ferocious smile after succeeding. These people did not leave in a hurry, but took out their weapons from under their robes and attacked the unarmed and chaotic Zoroastrian.
The believers were killed.
Among the chaotic believers, several figures also rushed out, but they were the Zoroastrian guardians and missionaries who had hidden among them in advance. Facing these people who had premeditated it, they quickly collided with each other.
The protector of the sun, Zhang Songyue, had quick eyes and quick hands. He jumped up, grabbed the round collar of the person who had just taken the lead, and slapped him twice: "Hong Zhiye! What a vicious method! Since you have harmed the saint of my religion today, you will
Let's bury her with her!"
The other guardians and missionaries were all furious. They swung their weapons at the person who had just thrown the egg without caring about the ground. Within a few breaths, several people were killed on the spot. Only then did the Zoroastrian leaders discover that these people who were ambushing the saint were
The person's hands and feet are all rough, and he looks like a libertine in the market who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
However, at this time, among the Zoroastrian believers who were scurrying about, there were also a dozen people who tore off their lotus robes, immediately drew their swords, and started to kill the believers around them. Immediately, many believers became the dead souls of the sword.
…
When the Zoroastrian leaders saw this, their eyes were splitting. They abandoned Hong Zhiye and the prodigal men he had found and attacked the false believers who had taken off their disguises. As soon as they fought, they felt that these people's moves were rigorous and quite serious.
There are rules and regulations, obviously from the Taoist sect, and I realized that there was a Taoist temple involved in today's incident, and it was just that I didn't go with Xiao Zhan and the others.
At this moment, a clear cold shout came from the flames that had just exploded: "The holy aunt has an order! Don't be too eager to fight. Brothers and sisters in the church will escort the saint into the city from the eighth gate."
The leaders followed the sound, only to see that where the explosion had just occurred, the holy fire had been scattered. A plain-colored holy robe came out of the fire. The holy robe was like a silkworm cocoon, wrapped in a human figure, and suddenly opened
, immediately revealing her emerald green skirt and her exquisite and embossed proud figure, it was none other than the unscathed Saint Xiaoman!
The leaders immediately turned from sadness to joy. Just as they were wondering what she meant by "split escorts", they saw two rows of "little barbarians" wearing purple holy clothes, bypassing the scattered holy fire, and "rebirth from the fire" in front of them.
"Xiaoman, clustered in the middle.
The nine figures alternated and changed for a while, and the leaders were dumbfounded. They could no longer tell which of these nine "little barbarians" were real and which were fake. They had no choice but to follow the order of the Holy Aunt and form a group to protect them.
A "little barbarian" turned around and walked away, quickly disappearing by the ferry. One of the "little barbarians", supported by dozens of believers, turned around and ran towards the boat.
Hong Zhiye looked stunned, looking at the nine saints fleeing in all directions, and immediately lost his temper. He grabbed his men who were hacking and killing randomly, and shouted: "The saints escaped separately! Quickly send word to the ambushes in the stronghold,
Quickly encircle and surround us!"
After listening to this, everyone under Hong Zhiye hurriedly took out a piece of thin bamboo tube from his arms, opened the fuse, picked up firewood from the ground and lit it. In an instant, seven or eight sharp whistles rose into the air, and dozens of people rushed out in an instant.
10 feet high, one after another exploded into balls of bluish-gray smoke.
It turns out that those thin bamboo tubes are firecrackers used for communication in the military. They are similar to the "Smoke in the Sky" made by Zoroastrianism. The gunpowder prepared using the "sulfur fire method" is much smaller in size. Not only can it fly into the sky
Flying out, there is a bamboo whistle at the tail. Just by listening to the high and low sound of the whistle, the soldiers can know whether to temporarily avoid, retreat, attack or outflank.
At this time, hundreds of believers on the ferry were dying, fleeing, rebelling, and killing each other... However, after ten breaths, most of the believers were under the altar master He Guini, Mage Kangsaiin and others.
He was led away and fled in the direction of Luoyang City.
The only people left on the ferry were the ambush arranged by Hong Zhiye and a few Zoroastrian believers.
The "Xiaoman" who turned around and ran back to the boat was the real saint Xiaoman. The only ones who knew this were Yang Chaoxi who was protecting Xiaoman, and Liu Xiaomu who was healing his wounds in the boat.
A group of believers dressed in crimson lotus robes did not know whether this "holy girl" was real or fake, but their desire to protect her was unwavering. They saw that Hong Zhiye actually led a team of people and chased after him, seemingly holding the treasure.
After placing their bets on the "saint" they were protecting, they all stopped, waved their swords, and started fighting with this group of people.
Yang Zhaoxi moved his sword like the wind, like an angry mantis. He used the light skill of "crossing the river with a reed" under his feet, and his figure became more like a fluttering puff. Under the magnificent slanting light, afterimages were drawn out.
Although the person confronting him was still wearing a veil, he had an iron sword in his hand, which made him use the well-known "Gongsun Sword Technique". Looking at the Taoist bun tied randomly on his head, you can be sure that this guy is also
He is a member of the Taoist sect. As for the Taoist temples that are willing to be driven by Taiwei Palace, if you think about it with your toes, you can roughly guess that they are Taoist priests in Tongxuan Temple, Jingyun Temple, Longxing Temple, and Futang Temple.
Qu Bingyu, the master of Tongxuan Guan, and the Taoist priest in the temple, had just fought with him at noon. Although Qu Guanzhu's "Chasing the Wind Sword Technique" was remarkable, he was ultimately defeated by his "Pei Min Sword Intent"
Underneath; even the swift and swift "Wind Catcher" was defeated by his "Hundred Beasts Fist"... Qu Bingyu was violent and arrogant by nature, but once he left in despair, he would never kill another person shamelessly.
Come "back to the horse".
As for the Taoist priests in Jingyunguan, when they first entered Xianglu Village, most of them were damaged by his angry attacks. They must have returned to the city for treatment at this time. Therefore, the Taoist priests in front of them are all from Longxing and Futang.
Observe. If you look at the charm of his "Gongsun Sword Technique", you can conclude that it must have come from Long Xingguan, where Gongsun Zhenren once taught swords.
This Taoist priest was neither slow nor hasty, and fought steadily, but he did not seek a quick victory. He probably had the idea of holding Yang Chaoxi down. Looking around, among the dozens of believers holding double weapons, this one was the most aggressive, and
His body skills were extraordinary. Compared with him, the other Shuangge Guards were like chickens and dogs. However, after ten breaths, they were all at a disadvantage. They were unable to withstand the ambush brought by Hong Zhiye.
Since Yang Chaoxi guessed the origin of this Taoist priest, he didn't bother to fight with him. Suddenly, he hooked and raised his arms, causing him to open the empty door. Then he flew up with a kick, but it was the kick of "Seizing the Fist", which was strong and strong.
He actually kicked him on the knee. There was a crisp "click" sound, and the Taoist priest screamed miserably. His body suddenly became unstable, and he fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
Yang Zhaoxi did not dare to fight, and hurriedly leaned towards Xiaoman.
During the fight just now, he had accidentally caught a glimpse of seven or eight fishermen wearing bamboo hats, who were landing from the boat. After quietly touching it, they did not run for their lives, but instead surrounded the little man. At this time, even the blind man
It can also be seen that these fishermen are all ambushes set up to intercept the Saint!
The fishermen lifted up the bamboo hat and threw it at Xiaoman. Yang Zhaoxi had good eyesight and could see at a glance that the edge of the bamboo hat was dotted with many sharp bamboo pieces. If the fisherman was hit on the skin, blood would inevitably splash on the spot.
Seeing that the way back to the ship was blocked, Xiao Man immediately stopped and pulled out the short flail stick that had not been used for a long time from behind. Her waist was like a willow, and her moves were like lightning. With a dazzling quick slash, she immediately flew
Open all the Ruoli that come.
Of course, the seven or eight fishermen were more than capable of this. They walked up quickly and took out a foot-long hatchet from the bamboo bamboo pole around their waist. Looking at Xiaoman's bumpy body, they showed no mercy.
Chopping down!
Although Xiaoman was under siege, he was busy but not in a hurry: his body was tumbling and moving, his lotus steps were both real and illusory, suddenly he was like a kite flying and a fish leaping, without any hindrance, and sometimes he was like a butterfly walking through pollen flowers, evading calmly. His delicate body was trembling.
, as if under the pair of embroidered shoes, there is not a river bank overgrown with weeds, but a lotus pond filled with lotus leaves.
Yang Chaoxi was dazzled by what he saw, and secretly sighed that this kind of movement skill was no longer inferior to "crossing the river with a reed"! He couldn't help but think of the stunning dance performed by Xiaoman that night at the Spring Palace in Shendu Garden, and the strange dance in front of him.
Shenfa actually seems to have the same purpose but different approaches.
So he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of light body kung fu is this?"
Xiaoman looked back and smiled sweetly: "Master, this is called 'Busheng Lotus'!"
