    After everyone’s discussion, Hongjun gradually realized that the battle for the restoration of the country that Ah Tai needs to face is not just a simple rebellion, or a battle to win the hearts of the people and regain power. The real difficulty is that this is a process of fighting against God.

    Zoroastrianism once perished in the Sassanid land and was replaced by Islamism. The former temple became a mosque. From birth to death, from generation to generation, the children firmly believed in the new god. The records of the old gods were burned down, and once the words were lost, the miracles and stories could not even be passed on for more than 50 years. Zoroastrianism has declined long before the Isai family left this land.

    Today's Caliphate is very unfamiliar to Zoroastrianism. They don't know the Zoroastrian and Persian scriptures "Avista" that once gave this land their faith. Even the caravans and translators who cover their advancement have long since become Islamists.

    Can this battle be won? Hongjun couldn't help thinking.

    They left Jiayuguan and went to Yadan. On the way, Hongjun specially visited his uncle Jia Zhou. They met again after a long absence. It has been several years. Jia Zhou was very worried about the Anshi chaos, but Hongjun got a lot of information from his uncle. Li Heng succeeded as emperor, changed his reign to Zhide, and formed an alliance with Huihe.

    When they arrived in Guazhou, it happened that a large number of Uighur troops drove into the pass and rushed to the Central Plains to assist Li Heng in regaining the lost ground. An Lushan had fled to Luo Yang, the demon clan was subdued, and the rest was the battlefield for mortals. Guo Ziyi led the Chinese Army and joined forces with the Huihe Army to prepare to break Shan County in one fell swoop.

    Li Jinglong looked worriedly at the Huihe army passing by under the city, fearing to drive wolves into tigers, but this was not something that the Exorcist Division had the right to intervene.

    "Come on." Jia Zhou said, "Hongjun, persuade you to have a glass of wine, go out of Yangguan in the west for no reason. It's done!"

    Hongjun, the exorcists and Jia Zhou had a drink. Jia Zhou personally took them to escort them to the customs. After the wind and sand, Tang Army turned and left.

    After exiting Yangguan, the road was barren and lonely. Along the way, there are large tracts of Gobi. Every day or a half, there will be stations for replenishing fresh water. Many of them have gone to the building. Only the pond and a small oasis are left behind. . There is a big temperature difference between day and night, even dripping into ice at night.

    Hongjun likes the night sky here. It is not covered by mountains. It is always cloudless. At night, he and Li Jinglong are wrapped in blankets, nestled under a pile of rocks, looking at the galaxy in the sky.

    "Qingxiong is right."

    One day Hongjun finally couldn't help but talk about the Holy Land, Li Jinglong commented suddenly.

    Hongjun was startled and said, "Do you know everything?"

    The corners of Li Jinglong's mouth slightly curled up and said, "Guess it."

    Hongjun sighed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you..."

    "No." Li Jinglong said, "If you don't say it, you will miss many things in the details."

    Hongjun said: "What can I miss? Anyway, as long as I live, I won't agree to any of their proposals on this point."

    "Who?" Li Jinglong asked again.

    Hongjun: "Of course they are the four demon kings."

    Li Jinglong said, "Do the four demon kings recognize him?"

    When Hongjun was said this, it seemed as if he felt something in an instant. Li Jinglong said casually: "I said Qingxiong did the right thing. It doesn't mean that the monster race replaced the human race, forever. But he chose not to force you. Decided, this is very important."

    "That's because Feng'er appeared." Hongjun said, "I even thought his eyesight was a bit dangerous."

    Li Jinglong waved his hand and said, "Feng'er just gave him a step down. Looking back at that time, how did the four demon kings express their opinions when Qingxiong made the proposal?"

    Hongjun said: "They don't want to..."

    Speaking of this, the reaction of the war dead ghoul king and Yuzaoyun quickly passed through his mind once, the other two demon kings stopped talking, and the silence of Kunshen finally made Hongjun understand Li Jinglong's hypothesis.

    "Kun God is helping him." Li Jinglong said casually, "It is impossible for them to not know what the other is thinking."

    Hongjun pondered and nodded. Li Jinglong said again: "As for the Fox King and the Ghost King, I don't believe they agree with Qingxiong's choice."

    "But they are not familiar with Yaojin Palace." Hongjun said, "I think...the ghost king is still...er, more friendly to the human race, at least more friendly than Chongming. Yuzaoyun, I even think she has fallen in love with the old emperor."

    "This is the problem." Li Jinglong said, "So they will never choose Qingxiong as the new demon king, because they are closer to the human race than Qingxiong. You are the leader, and it happens that they can accept it. : Born in Yaojin Palace, and have connections with Qingxiong and Yuan Kun. It is a descendant of Zhongming, and I am..." At this point, Li Jinglong smiled and said, "...It's still Mrs. Shuhou."

    "Yeah." Hongjun nodded with a little redness on his face, "Maybe."

    "Kun God and Qingxiong are very clear." Li Jinglong said, "From the perspective of interest, only you can regroup the four demon kings and build a new holy land. Otherwise, Yuan Kun will not find me for a corpse. 'And'a soul'."

    Hongjun gradually understood, and Li Jinglong said: "If Qingxiong forces you to make a decision, the monster clan is bound to fall into division again. Feng'er seemed to interrupt the conversation, but actually gave him a step down."

    Hongjun was silent, frowning, and Li Jinglong finally said: "Sometimes I even suspect that Yuan Kun is the one who drives Qingxiong to come forward and influence your decision. Yongsi also often says that Kunshen's mind is too difficult to capture."

    Hongjun said: "It won't stop...I can survive because of Yuan Kun."

    Li Jinglong nodded and stopped talking. Hongjun pondered: "There is always a way to solve it slowly, as long as we are together. In other words, it seems to be getting colder and colder, are you cold?"

    They huddled in the blanket. Li Jinglong unbuttoned Hongjun's collar in the blanket, touched his skin, and whispered: "I'll warm you."

    Li Jinglong's naked body is like a vigorous fire. Every time he entangles, blends, and enters Hongjun, Hongjun feels extremely happy. After leaving Yangguan, the exorcists had a daily meeting at first, and they had almost said everything they wanted to say during the second half of the trip, and they all stayed in their cars to avoid the sun. Although the Silk Road was nearly October, it was still hot. During the day, it was really difficult for the two of them to make affection. After a few strokes, they were sweaty.

    But once Lu Xu told Hongjun a move, instead of being afraid of the heat, he would simply leave it alone. Hongjun tried it, and he felt different. The two were sweating profusely in the car. The sweat on Li Jinglong's shoulders and chest, the strength and the masculine scent, made Hongjun's blood stretched. Once you start, you can hardly stop.

    Of course, this kind of gameplay is also limited by conditions, that is, you must take a shower every day. Fortunately, when you enter the second half of the Silk Road, every station has ample water source. At dusk, everyone can take a bath and apply some parts on their bodies. Spices, Hongjun finally understood why the scents of the Semu people and the Western Regions were so strong.

    Nearly 20 days after leaving Yuzhou City, the caravan arrived at Bazin City under the Aral Sea, an important stop on the Silk Road. The merchants are here to replenish goods and will stay for three days. Hongjun didn't sleep well in the car last night. The autumn mood was heavy, the weather was cool, and the market was noisy, like a hypnotic song, which made him fall asleep.

    "Hongjun." Lu Xu whispered in Hongjun's ear, and gently shook him, "Come with me somewhere."

    Hongjun got up sleepily, looked at Lu Xu, changed his clothes, and followed him out dizzyly.

    "Where to go?" Hongjun asked.

    Lu Xu only walked in front. The city of Bazin was very small. It was not so much a city as a village. A dozen mud houses built with rammed earth opened their doors for the merchants to do business. It forms a cross, and there is no city wall on the periphery. There are only a dozen permanent residents, mostly businessmen in the past.

    Going high behind the city, after climbing a slope, it is the Aral Sea. There is a high mountain to the west of the Aral Sea, and a strange building stands on the hill.

    Hongjun woke up and looked at the building from a distance.

    Lu Xu said, "I'll take you, let's go up." As he turned into a white deer, he flew over the Aral Sea on a sunny afternoon, separated the waves, and flew to the top of the mountain.

    "What place is this?" Hongjun asked in surprise.

    "The former home of Brother Qiong and Ah Tai." White Deer said.

    Hongjun remembered that Ah Tai did mention that a Zoroastrian temple was on a high mountain by the Aral Sea. It was once the place where the Prophet Zoroastrian expounded the scriptures and was later built as a temple.

    "Ah Tai and Brother Qiong were both born in this temple." Lu Xu and Hongjun walked into the abandoned temple side by side. There is already overgrown weeds now. "Trandot and Ah Tai also met here."

    "How do you know so much?" Hongjun cleared the messy creeper and pushed open the door.

    Lu Xu: "Brother Qiong told me."

    Hongjun: "Yo."

    "What does'yo' mean?" Lu Xu said blankly.

    "It means literally." Hongjun glanced at Lu Xu suspiciously, and said, "Do you often chat secretly?"

    Lu Xu: "No! What is "secretly"! Just a few words when they are sent together on a mission!"

    Ashnajon never tells Hongjun about his past. Even because of Li Jinglong and Hongjun being together, Ah Tai often warns Ashnajon not to ask for trouble, and Ashnajon has been very restrained. Even if the jokes are not directed at Hongjun, he used to ridicule Lu Xu a few words, but now even Lu Xu doesn't dare to get in touch with him anymore, and the price will become awkward when he stays in the exorcism department.

    Hongjun: "He can go and molest Zhao Zilong."

    Lu Xu: "..."

    Hongjun still likes Ashnajon, not only him, but every partner is extremely reliable, and he has also endured dangers desperately for each other. When Lu Xu walked towards the altar, Hongjun roughly understood.

    "You want to know him." Hongjun said.

    "No." Lu Xu replied, "You think too much, I just think he has a little..."

    There are a large number of mottled murals in the temple, on which are Zoroastrian lectures and mythological stories from the ancient Persian scriptures. The two stood side by side, after watching for a while, Lu Xu replied, "Lonely."

    Hongjun frowned slightly, and Lu Xu said, "But this is not my purpose. Chang Shi just asked me to check if Brother Qiong is also one of the holders of the artifact. After all, he and Ah Tai were both born here. ."

    Hongjun surveyed every part of the temple, including the cemetery behind the mountain. There was an inscription on the cemetery with a letter in Persian. Neither of them understood what it was, but Hongjun suddenly found a place, which was a symbol, the same as the symbol embroidered on Ah Tai's robe.

    "Holy woman." Hongjun said, "It is the master of Li Guinian and Ah Tai."

    "Look for an agency." Lu Xu said.

    "For such an important thing, why didn't Jinglong come here in person?"

    Li Jinglong was inquiring about Ah Tai's whereabouts with Qiu Yongsi and Morigen at this time. It turns out that Ah Tai had been to Bazin City and had seen someone there. According to Li Jinglong's speculation, it was probably Amman Hukla. Duo. But Ah Tai and Ashnajon hurriedly left without returning to their birthplace.

    The task of Lu Xu and Hongjun is to find out whether there is an entrance to the earth veins here, which should not be there. But once Hongjun travels with Lu Xu, the two always like to chat, sometimes about Qiu Yongsi, sometimes about Ashnajon, Morigen, and Li Jinglong. The strange thing is that they are always not interested in Ah Tai. Maybe he thought he was more beautiful than a girl, and didn't show much interest in him.

    The sacred fire was extinguished and could no longer be ignited. Several altars were full of embers from the fire. Lu Xu suddenly said to Hongjun, "Come and see this."

    Hongjun came to a room, and the sunlight came in from a gap at the top of the garden. This is a very standard Persian courtyard with several small fountains in the center. Lu Xu said, "Look at these two sculptures, one on the left and the other on the right. It's all smooth, like someone turned it hard."

    Hongjun thought to himself what kind of people you are, always not letting go of such clues, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it together with Lu Xu. The moment the two sculptures turned up at the same time, the ground suddenly slumped. A channel appears.

    "Wow." Hongjun said, "Are there any treasures?"

    The two scratched their heads, and Hongjun headed in. In the dark space, Hongjun snapped his fingers, and sparks burst out from his hands, illuminating the basement.

    The basement was empty, and there was a door at the end. Behind the door was a deep passage leading to a deeper underground. Hongjun calculated the number of steps and whispered: "Here should be under the salty sea."

    Lu Xu staggered suddenly and kicked something. The two of them lowered their heads at the same time, and the light illuminated one's face.

    Hongjun and Lu Xu shouted at the same time.

    It was a blood-stained man bound with ropes, disheveled, and Hongjun said, "Why are there people here?!"

    "do you died?"

    "Look at..."

    Hongjun patted the man's side face, pulled his blood-stained hair away, his familiar face reflected in his face, a face with a stubble beard that had not been trimmed for many days, the corners of his eyes burst, and his fingers were so thin that he was too thin. Break off.

    -Ashnajon.

    Hongjun: "..."

    Lu Xu: "..."
