Chapter 197: Aral Sea Chamber

Under the discussion of everyone, Hong Jun gradually realized that the battle of restoration that Artest needed to face was not only a simple rebellion, but also a battle to win the hearts of the people and regain the power. The real difficulty is that this is a process of fighting against God.
Zoroastrianism once perished on Sassan ’s land and was replaced by Islam. The former temple became a mosque. From birth to death, the children continued to believe in the new from generation to generation. The records of the old gods were burned, and once the words were lost, the miracles and stories could not even be spread for more than fifty years. Zoroastrianism faded long before the Isai family left the land.
Today's big food is already very strange to Zoroastrianism. They don't know the Zoroaster and the Persian ancient book "Avista" that once gave faith to this land. Even the caravans and translators who cover their progress have long become Muslims.
Can this battle be won? Hong Jun couldn't help thinking.
They left Jiayuguan and went to Yadan. On the way, Hongjun went to visit his uncle Jia Zhou. He hadn't met again for a long time. Jia Zhou was very worried about the chaos of An Shi. Instead, Hong Jun got a lot of information from his uncle. Li Heng succeeded him as emperor, changed his year to Zhide, and formed an alliance with Hui Pu.
When they arrived in Guazhou, a large number of Huipu troops happened to enter the gate and went to the Central Plains to assist Li Heng in recovering their lost ground. An Lushan had fled back to Luoyang, and the demon clan was conquered. Guo Ziyi led the Chinese army and joined forces with the Hui Pujun to prepare to break through Shaanxi County in one fell swoop.
Li Jinglong looked at the Hui Su Army passing under the city worriedly, and was afraid to drive the wolf into the tiger, but this was no longer the right of the Exorcist to intervene.
"Come." Jia Zhou said, "Hong Jun, persuade Jun to take a glass of wine and go out of Yangguan to no one in the west. Done!"
Hong Jun and the exorcists had drunk wine with Jia Zhou, and Jia Zhou personally escorted them to the customs gate, and the wind and sand swept away before Tang Jun turned away.
After leaving the Yangguan Pass, the road is barren and lonely, and along the way are large areas of Gobi. Every day or half of the day, there will be freshwater stations, many of which have been empty, except for the pond and a small oasis behind the station . The temperature difference between day and night is very large, and even drops into ice at night.
Hongjun likes the night sky here. There are no mountains to cover it, and there is always no clouds in the sky. At night, he often wraps a blanket with Li Jinglong, snuggles under the stone pile, and looks at the galaxy in the sky.
"Qingxiong is right."
One day Hong Jun couldn't help but talk about the holy land, Li Jinglong suddenly said.
Hong Jun was startled and said, "Do you even know?"
Li Jinglong's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Guess."
Hong Jun sighed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't say this to you ..."
"No." Li Jinglong said, "If you don't say it, you will miss many things from the details."
Hong Jun said: "What can I miss? Anyway, as long as I am alive, I will not promise them any suggestions on this point."
"Who are you?" Li Jinglong asked again.
Hong Jun: "Of course the four demon kings."
Li Jinglong said: "Do all four demon kings recognize him?"
Hong Jun was said like this, as if he felt something in an instant, Li Jinglong said casually: "I said Qingxiong was right, not referring to the demon clan to replace the human clan, a thousand words, but he chose not to force you down. Decision, this is very important. "
"That's because Feng'er appeared." Hong Jun said, "I looked at him at the time and even felt a little dangerous."
Li Jinglong waved his hand and said: "Feng'er just gave him a step down. Recall that at the moment when the four demon kings put forward proposals in Qingxiong, how did they all stand?"
Hong Jun said, "They don't want to ..."
Speaking of which, the reaction of the dead corpse king and Yuzaoyun passed through his mind once, and the other two demon kings' words stopped, and the silence of Kun God finally made Hong Jun understand Li Jinglong's assumption.
"Kun God helped him." Li Jinglong said carelessly, "they can't possibly not know what the other is thinking."
Hong Jun pondered and nodded, Li Jinglong said again: "As for the Fox King and Ghost King, I don't believe they agree with Qingxiong's choice."
"But they are not familiar with Yaojin Palace." Hong Jun said, "I think ... Ghost King is still ... well, friendly, at least more friendly than Yuming. Yuzaoyun, I even think she fell in love with the old emperor."
"This is the problem." Li Jinglong said, "So they will never choose Qingxiong as the new chief demon king, because they are closer to the human race than Qingxiong. It is just that they can accept you to lead it. Of: Born in Yaojin Palace, and has a relationship with Qingxiong and Yuan Kun. They are the descendants of Chongming, and it is still me ... "Speaking of which, Li Jinglong smiled and said:" ... or Mrs. Shuhou. "
"Huh." Hong Jun's face was a little flushed and nodded. "Maybe."
"Kun God and Qingxiong are very clear." Li Jinglong said, "From the interest level, only you can reunite the four demon kings and build a new holy place. Otherwise, Yuan Kun won't ask me for a corpse." 'And' a soul '. "
Hong Jun gradually understood, Li Jinglong also said: "If Qingxiong forces you to make a decision, the demon race will definitely fall into division again. Feng'er seems to interrupt this dialogue, but actually gave him a step down."
Hong Jun kept silent, frowning deeply, and Li Jinglong finally said: "Sometimes I even suspect that Yuan Kun is the one who drives Qingxiong to influence your decision. Yong Si also often said that Kun God's mind was too difficult to capture."
Hong Jun said: "Will not stop ... I can survive, it's up to Yuan Kun."
Li Jinglong nodded and stopped talking. Hong Jun thought: "There is always a way to solve it slowly, as long as we are together. It seems that it is getting colder, are you cold?"
They crouched in the blanket, and Li Jinglong unfastened Hongjun's collar in the blanket, touching his skin, and whispered, "I'll warm you."
Li Jinglong's naked body is like a vigorous fire. Every time he entangles with Hong Jun, blends, and enters, Hong Jun feels very happy. After leaving Yangguan, the exorcists had a meeting every day at first. After the second half of the trip, they had almost all the words to say, so they stayed in the car to avoid the sun. Although the Silk Road has been close to October, it is still hot. During the day, it is difficult for the two to be intimate. After a few strokes, they are sweaty.
But one time Lu Xu told Hongjun that he had no choice but to fear heat. Hongjun gave it a try, but he didn't feel anything. The two sweated in the car dripping with sweat. The sweat on Li Jinglong's shoulders and chest, exuding the strength and male smell, made Hongjun's bloodline stretch. Once it started, it could hardly stop.
Of course, this gameplay is also limited by the conditions, that is, you must take a bath every day. Fortunately, when you enter the second half of the Silk Road, each post has enough water. Everyone can take a bath at dusk and then apply part of the body. Spices, Hongjun finally understood why the fragrances of the Semen and Westerners were so strong.
Almost 20 days after leaving Yuzhou City, the caravan arrived at an important stop on the Silk Road-Bazin City under the Aral Sea. The businessmen are here to replenish the goods and will stay for three days. Hong Jun did not sleep well in the car last night. The autumn was heavy, the weather was cool, and the market hustle and bustle was far and near, like a hypnotic song, which made him sleep.
"Hong Jun." Lu Xu whispered in Hong Jun's ear and shook him gently, "Come with me to a place."
Hongjun crawled up sleepily, watched the landing, put on his clothes, and followed him dizzy.
"Where are you going?" Hong Jun asked.
Lu Xu walked only in front. The Bazin city was very small. Instead of being a city, it was more like a village. The mud houses that had been rammed with soil were open for doors to do business for passing merchants. , Forming a cross, there is no city wall on the periphery, there are ten or so people, most of them are businessmen in the past.
Going high behind the city, after turning over a slope, it was the Aral Sea, with a high mountain to the west of the Aral Sea, and a strange building stood on the mountain.
Hongjun woke up and looked at the building from afar.
Lu Xu said: "I'll take you, let's go up." He said that he turned into a white deer, and flew across the Aral Sea on a sunny afternoon, separated the waves, and flew to the top of the mountain.
"What is this place?" Hong Jun wondered.
"Qionge and Artei's previous home." Bailu said.
Hong Jun remembered that Artest had mentioned before that a temple of Zoroastrianism was on the high mountain by the Aral Sea, where the prophet Zoroaster devoted the scriptures and was later built as a temple .
"Atai and Qiongge were both born in this temple." Lu Xu and Hongjun walked into the abandoned temple side by side, and now it is already overgrown with weeds. "Trando and Artai also met here."
"How do you know so much?" Hong Jun cleared the messy creeper and pushed open the door.
Lu Xu: "Brother Qiong told me."
Hong Jun: "Yo."
"What does" yo "mean?" Lu Xu said blankly.
"It literally means." Hong Jun glanced at Lu Xu suspiciously, and said, "Do you often secretly chat?"
Lu Xu: "No! What is" sneaking "! Just chat a few words when they are sent to perform tasks together!"
Asnaqiong never told Hongjun what he had done before, even because Li Jinglong and Hongjun were together, Atayal often warned Asnaqiong not to ask for trouble. Asnaqiong has always been very restrained. Even if the joke is not very open to Hongjun, I used to ridicule Lu Xu, but now Lu Xu dared not get in touch more, and the price of staying in the exorcism department also suffocated.
Hong Jun: "He can play with Zhao Zilong."
Lu Xu: "..."
Hong Jun still likes Asnajon very much. Not only he, each partner is extremely reliable, but he has endured the danger for each other desperately. When Lu Xu walked to the altar, Hong Jun understood.
"You want to know him." Hong Jun said.
"No." Lu Xu replied, "You think too much, I just think he has a little ..."
There are a large number of mottled frescoes in the temple, on which are Zoroaster's sermons and myths from the Persian ancient scriptures. The two stood side by side. After watching for a while, Lu Xu replied: "Lonely."
Hong Jun frowned slightly, and Lu Xu said: "But this is not my purpose. Long History just asked me to check. Will Brother Qiong also be one of the implement holders, after all, he and Artai were born in Here."
Hong Jun investigated every part of the temple, including the cemetery behind the mountain. There was an inscription on the cemetery, written in Persian. Neither of them could understand what it was, but Hong Jun suddenly found a place that was a symbol, the same as the symbol embroidered on Artai's robe.
"Holy Lady." Hong Jun said, "It is the master of Li Guinian and Artest."
"Look for whether there is any organization." Lu Xu said.
"Such an important thing, why don't they come in person?"
At this time, Li Jinglong was inquiring about the whereabouts of Artest with Qiu Yongsi and Mo Zhigen. Facts proved that Artest had visited Bazin City and had seen a person here. According to Li Jinglong's speculation, it might be Amman Hokladuo. . But Artest and Asnaqiong left in a hurry before returning to their place of birth.
The mission of Lu Xu and Hong Jun is to find whether there are entrances and exits in the place, which should not be reasonable. However, once Hong Jun traveled with Lu Xu, the two always liked to chat with each other, sometimes Qiu Yongsi, sometimes Ashi Naqiong and Mo Rigen, Li Jinglong, strangely, they always talked to Artest Not much interest, maybe he thinks he looks prettier than a girl, and has no interest in him.
The Shenhuo industry was extinguished and could no longer be ignited. Several altars were full of embers from fire. Lu Xu suddenly said to Hongjun, "Come and see this."
Hong Jun came to a room, and the sunlight came in through the gap at the top of the garden. This is a very standard Persian courtyard. There are several small fountains in the center. Lu Xu said: "Look at these sculptures, one on the left and one on the right. It's all smooth, like someone is turning hard. "
Hong Jun thought to yourself, who are you, always letting go of this kind of clues, and reaching out, pulling together with Lu Xu, the moment the two sculptures turned at the same time, the ground suddenly rumbling and sinking, A channel appears.
"Wow." Hong Jun said, "Is there a treasure?"
When the two scratched their heads, Hongjun started to advance. In the dark space, Hongjun snapped his fingers and burst out a spark in his hand, illuminating the basement.
The basement was empty and there was another door at the end. A deep passage behind the door led to deeper ground. Hong Jun calculated the number of steps and whispered: "Here it should be under the Aral Sea."
Suddenly, Lu Xu stumbled at his feet and kicked something. Both of them bowed their heads at the same time, and the light illuminated a person's face.
Hong Jun and Lu Xu shouted at the same time.
It was a blood-stained man by a rope, his head covered in blood, Hong Jun said: "Why are there people here ?!"
"do you died?"
"Look ..."
Hong Jun patted the man's side face and flicked away his blood-stained hair. His familiar face reflected in his face. A beard and stubble face had not been trimmed for many days. The corners of his eyes were burst. Break.
Ashi Naqiong.
Hong Jun: "..."
Lu Xu: "..."
