The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 165: The Saint from Heaven, the King of Kings

Under the bright moon, a figure flashed out of the mansion and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.

In the desert Gobi, a man and a dog wander around the world.

It is another oasis town.

When we entered, we found that it was a settlement of Han Chinese merchants, and there was even a workshop here.

The workshop is simple and the finished products are average, but they are more than enough for trade.

The workshop masters continuously produce porcelain blanks.

The owner of the workshop here may have felt that the Central Plains was too far away and that porcelain itself was fragile and would be damaged too much on the road, so he placed the workshop on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the craftsman drawing the patterns on the pottery, Liang Yue suddenly became interested. He took out a silver ingot and asked, "Master, can I draw one myself?"

The craftsman was a little impatient at first, but when he saw the silver ingot in the other party's hand, he immediately smiled and said:

"As you please, sir."

Liang Yue picked up the carving knife, carved five words, and then left.

This is ordinary porcelain, but its significance is extraordinary. It is a trace that bears witness to the exchanges between two civilizations.

The craftsman who watched the man leave scratched his head and said in confusion: "What a weird guy."

The craftsman looked down at the patterns carved by Liang Yue, on which were written five strange large characters.

"Microwave Oven Only"

……

Along the uninhabited land, across the Pamir Mountains.

This place is sparsely populated, with no one living within hundreds of miles, only the corpses of cattle and sheep, as if they were killed by some ferocious beast.

Liang Yue ignored everything and went straight to the other side of the Pamir Mountains and entered the territory of the Arabs.

The rulers of this place are no longer Persia, but the White Caliphate.

The people in white and black belong to the same Islamic group.

The White Caliphate is different from the Black Caliphate. The White Caliphate believes that the Muslim community should decide on its leader through nomination and consultation, while the Black Caliphate worships the descendants of saints, believing that only the descendants of saints can lead the entire Muslim community.

The struggle between the two factions was extremely fierce, and it was almost a fight to the death.

Liang Yue was thinking as he walked, and Xiaotian pretended to be alert to his surroundings, but in fact he was deliberately trying to please his master's concern.

He was still thinking about the situation here. Who was right or wrong, who was righteous or evil, had nothing to do with him.

If there is a conflict with you, kill him.

They traveled westward, climbed over mountains and arrived in Persia in Central Asia.

In the prosperous towns, merchants were traveling around and there were Hu people with high noses and deep eyes everywhere. Goods from the Tang Dynasty could be seen everywhere on both sides of the streets.

Everyone didn't think Liang Yue's appearance was unusual. After all, merchants from the Tang Dynasty often came here to do business.

The Silk Road brought prosperity to the entire Central and West Asia region.

Liang Yue seemed to be looking at the goods, but in fact he was observing the crowd. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Persian Zoroastrianism was no longer there, and most of the people here had become followers of the Muslim religion.

Walking through the crowd, occasionally talking in Farsi to those nearby.

Having lived for over three hundred years, he doesn't have much, but he has many skills.

From ancient bird-and-worm script, oracle bone script, and knotted cord records to local mainstream dialects, the lost Xianbei, Qiang, and Di languages, or the Sanskrit, Persian, and Tocharian languages that are still popular today.

Liang Yue left the city and headed in the direction pointed by the Hu people.

"In the modern world, he would be considered a master who knows astronomy, history, and geography."

The city of Achid.

In the Zoroastrian settlements, the religion could not be eradicated for the time being, so the White Caliphate imposed heavy taxes, but there were always some people who refused to obey.

Yadzhid is the last place where tens of thousands of Zoroastrians gather and the only source of fire in Persia.

At this time, Liang Yue was strolling on the streets. Statues of the god of fire could be seen everywhere in the city of Yajid. The people here were no longer dressed in the same way, but were full of Persian style in ancient paintings.

Take a stroll to the magnificent temple.

Temple of Fire.

There is a plate in the temple with fire burning in it. The temple enshrines the statue of the God of Mercy and Light.

This blazing fire is an ordinary fire, which is kept alive by believers adding firewood day and night.

The temperature around the disc is extremely high. Zoroastrians gather around it, using the power of fire to cleanse their bodies and cultivate their qi and blood.

The fire officer of this generation is a middle-aged man with a big beard.

This person is like a ball of fire. Approaching him is like approaching a bonfire.

At this time, the subordinate came to report.

"Report! A Taoist from the Eastern Tang Dynasty came to ask for an audience."

The middle-aged man woke up and went to the hall to meet.

"Welcome to the Taoist priest from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. I am Yuchi Ross. I have lived in Chang'an for three years. Emperor Taizong once appointed me as a guerrilla general."

Yuchi Ross speaks fluent Chinese.

"It turns out to be General Yuchi. I've heard a lot about you." Liang Yue said politely.

Yuchi Luosi led Liang Yue to visit the sacred fire.

"I teach people to cultivate qi and blood with holy fire. I combine it with the body-refining method of the Central Plains and take the training method to a higher level. In the area of Yazhide, Zoroastrians are the number one force in the world. Unfortunately..."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yuchi Ross's eyes.

“Without the burning body of the holy fire in mythology, no one can break through the realm of great innateness.”

"Can we have a discussion?" Liang Yue asked with interest.

"Naturally."

Wow!
Yuchi Ross threw a punch, his blood and energy turned into burning flames, his entire body turned red like a raging fire, and his strength increased several times.

Liang Yue dodged sideways, the sword flashed, and the long sword was already across Yuchi Luos neck.

"Great technique!!"

Yuchi Luosi was sweating profusely, but he was extremely happy in his heart. This is a great innate! !

After that, Liang Yue lived in the Fire Temple.

Yuchi Ross was also happy to have a master to guide him.

At night, blazing fires illuminated everything.

The Huotou stared at the flames, not able to see anything.

Liang Yue sat cross-legged beside the fire.

Open your Dharma eyes and observe the fire disk.

Suddenly, he walked to the fire tray, reached into the fire tray, and took out a palm-sized, flame-shaped pure gold token.

In the center of the token, two large characters were written in ancient script: Emperor Xia.

"Ok?"

The Xia Emperor, the Shang Emperor, and the Zhou Emperor were the titles of the monarchs of the three kingdoms of Xia, Shang, and Zhou.

Is this thing actually related to the Xia Dynasty?

Liang Yue input true energy.

boom!
The token emitted a pure golden flame. The flame was not scorching hot, nor was it explosive, but it somehow affected the surrounding climate.

Zhurong summer fire.

This fire is Zhurong's fire, which has the ability to influence the climate. It is a fire similar to the Tao.

"There are other good things like this."

Liang Yue raised his eyebrows and immediately prepared to refine it.

"Woof woof!" Huoto stepped forward and indicated that he wanted to have a piece of the pie.

Huodou is a fire beast that can devour flames for its own use. Currently there are two types of fire: Samadhi True Fire and Earth Vein True Fire.

That night, Liang Yue was refining Xia Hou Ling beside the fire pan.

As time passed, Liang Yue's body was gradually covered with a layer of pure golden flames.

Zhurong Xiahuo, the fire of the god of summer.

When practiced to the highest level, Summer Fire can change the climate and celestial phenomena.

Outside the city, the white-clad Arab army gathered.

Tens of thousands of troops are ready to go.

The Zoroastrianism seriously affected the peace in the region. The White Arabs could no longer tolerate it and finally seized the opportunity the next day, preparing to capture Yadzhide in one fell swoop and massacre all the believers.

"not good!"

Before daybreak, the news was delivered to the Fire Temple via scout pigeons.

"What?" Yuchi Ross quickly put on his coat, "Notify everyone, pick up your weapons, and assemble!!"

Yuchi Ross walked out quickly.

"Where are the people? Where are the believers?"

Yuchi Ross discovered that the believers had disappeared.

Could it be that all the people have run away?
When they arrived at the round plate in the temple, golden light enveloped the surroundings, and the believers knelt on the ground with fanatical looks on their faces.

I saw the Taoist sitting cross-legged in the air, with a golden fire token burning with flames above his head.

The fire dog is guarding on the side.

The invisible force cleanses everyone's body.

"Holy Fire Order? The Fire God descending to earth?"

Yuchi Luos reacted with a fanatical look on his face and knelt on the ground like the believers.

This is not a Taoist priest, this is the Fire God who came to earth to test his loyalty.

At this moment, Yuchi Ross was extremely happy as the legendary holy fire appeared.

Doesn’t this foreshadow the rise of Zoroastrianism?
This is a saint sent from heaven!!
Thinking of this, Yuchi Luosishan shouted the honorific title.

"Shah! The faithful worship the Shah!"

The believers shouted Shah, and the sound spread far and wide. This is the title of the King of Kings in Persia.

Wow!
Liang Yue opened his golden eyes.

In an instant, golden flames ten feet high rose from the fire pan.

Golden flames leaped above the heads of the statues throughout the city, and the golden light illuminated the entire city. All the believers in the city knelt down to worship the miracle.

Affected by Zhurong's summer fire, everyone's realm began to loosen.

Yuchi Ross broke through to the great innate realm, and the other believers broke through to the innate realm one after another.

"It's not Shah, it's King Xia!" Liang Yue said.

Since I have received the Holy Fire Order from the Zoroastrianism, I should at least give something back to them.

"Prepare a counterattack."

"Yes!"

With the blessing of faith, morale has been greatly boosted.

While the Chinese believe in gods, they are always curious and critical. Unlike the Chinese, who do not talk about supernatural powers, in the worldview of the foreigners, gods are unique, omnipotent, and cannot be resisted or tested.

Soon, Yuchi Ross led three thousand men to defeat the Arab army.

When I returned to the Fire Temple, the people were gone, leaving only a golden flame on the fire.

After that, Yuchi Ross integrated hundreds of thousands of surrounding tribes, revitalized Persia, and fought against the White Arabs.

The summer fire of Zhurong burned for sixty years.

[The Xia Emperor, the King of Kings, came on the clouds to save Persia from disaster. His light shines on the earth and benefits all parts of Persia. The Xia Emperor ascends to the sky. One day, he will return with the Holy Fire Order. Future generations should worship him as their master - Holy Fire Persian Yuchi I]
