Among all arts, tragedy is the most brilliant and accomplished. In the scene of death, in the lasting endurance of extreme pain, and in the disappearance of irreversible past, there is a sacredness, an irresistible awe, a broad and profound feeling of infinite mystery of existence.

The imperial guards in Tai Chi Hall were killed and injured, and they were in a mess. Li Yuan's body was placed on the chair in the hall. It was where he sat in the past, high above, representing great power. All the arrangements he had made during his lifetime were gone, leaving only a chaotic situation. The past was like smoke and clouds. Now there was only one daughter who was truly sad for him. It was really the emperor's misfortune.

In the face of huge power, family affection is so fragile, the royal family is like this, and the common people's families. In the future, many families have gone to court for a house and cut off family affection. Perhaps the world has never changed.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also retreated to the Tai Chi Hall, guarding the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, blocking the Uighurs' attack, and guarding each other against each other. Under the dim light of the Tai Chi Hall, the three brothers confronted each other fiercely. Li Jiancheng was particularly angry at Li Yuanji's actions of retreating and protecting himself.

The situation is clear now. Li Jiancheng has no support from the Turks, and there are only tactical teams led by Wei Zheng. These teams were well used by Wei Zheng to protect Li Jiancheng. Li Shimin is surrounded by Jingzhai's masters. Li Yuanji relies on us, and Dugu family protects Li Xiuning.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the Uighurs couldn't last long, they were just clowns. As long as they could wait until dawn, they would be their death. I think there would be less than an hour left.

However, things went against my wishes. The master of the Daming Zun Sect broke in. The man in the lead had a weird martial arts and a erratic body movement, which could actually push Fan Qinghui into a disadvantage. He seemed to be using the skill of using force to fight. He was holding a pair of weird weapons in his hand, two black brands, not avoiding swords, and was extremely hard. When the two cards collided, they made a crisp sound, neither gold nor jade, which was really weird.

"That person is Xu Kaishan. His name is Xiugu Sidu in Uighurs. He was the destiny of the "Demon King" Zheluo who stole the secret script of the Persian Ming Zun Sect and fled to the east. He was also the first person in the Ming Zun Sect to practice the "Sutra of the Roots of the All Laws" to the highest level. This is the first time he has seen him take action." Zhu Yuyan introduced, "Looking at this set of martial arts, we can see that the fruit of the Persian Ming Zun Sect is extraordinary. The "Sutra of the All Laws of the All Laws" is by no means inferior to the "Sutra of the Heavenly Demon Strategy" of the Holy Sect. The weapon in his hand is called the "Holy Fire Order", which is a holy object of the Ming Zun Sect, and is made of the mysterious stone outside the heaven."

"If these people really gain a foothold in the Central Plains, they may be uncontrollable at that time." I said worriedly.

"Just rely on them?" Wanwan said disdainfully, "If you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, you have to ask me if the Yingui Sect agrees."

No wonder Wanwan said this. In the past, the Ming Dynasty relied on the power of the Yingui Sect to develop in the Central Plains. Faced with the strong oppression of Buddhism and Taoism, they did not dare to preach at all. Religious disputes are often extremely tragic. In the West, the Holy See launched many wars in the name of striking pagans.

However, what Wanwan didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty's priesthood not only established itself in the Central Plains, but also took root and became an important force that influenced the overall situation of the Central Plains. Its name was Manichaeism. From Fang La of the Song Dynasty to Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, to the White Lotus Sect in the late Ming Dynasty, including the cult organization originating from the Northeast in the 1990s, they were all done by Manichaeists.

Tonight is the first collective appearance of Manichaeism in the Central Plains and the first full-scale attack on the ten thousand miles of the Central Plains. In the days that followed, the Ming Cult members rebelled again and again. This foreign religion originated from Persia began their difficult but unyielding journey.

"Don't underestimate a sect with its own ideas. They have strong vitality, just like the holy gate, and one day they can conquer the world." I prophesy.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord." Rong Jiaojiao came close, smiled and saluted Zhu Yuyan, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"I am no longer your master." Zhu Yuyan said coldly.

"Jiaojiao has been in the Central Plains for many years. Thanks to the care of his master, I will never forget this love." Rong Jiaojiao said respectfully, "And with Senior Sister Wanwan, my sister is really grateful."

"Hao, I miss my junior sister too. Last time I parted outside the border, Jiaojiao's complexion was much better." Wanwan said sarcastically.

"It's so charming and charming." Rong Jiaojiao replied, "Is Master waiting for Master Bian? I think Master Bian is afraid there will be some trouble with Master Bian."

"What did you say?" Zhu Yuyan frowned.

"It's nothing. Uncle Bian and An Long had a conflict. Taoist Pichen was comforting him there." Rong Jiaojiao said lightly.

Things have become complicated since then. The power of the Holy Sect in Chang'an City is mainly the Yingui Sect, but Shi Zhixuan arranged the chess piece of Yang Wengan from Jingzhao Lian in Chang'an City. After operating it for so many years, and with the support of Li Jiancheng, he is one of the best underground forces in Chang'an City.

Shi Zhixuan did not come forward during this operation. An Long and Hou Xibai were representatives, so this time our reserve force was led by Bian Bufu and An Long. These two people had a conflict. Bian Bufu practiced martial arts called "Demon Heart Chain", which was to deal with An Long's "Tianxin Lotus Ring". If An Long had not been afraid of Zhu Yuyan, he would have wanted to kill Bian Bufu long ago.

Zhu Yuyan has also been carefully considered to arrange the two of them together. There are many internal conflicts in the Yingui Sect. Zhu Yuyan wants to rectify and pave the way for Wanjing to take over successfully, so she went to Jiangnan to get rid of the betrayed Pi Shouxuan and Lin Shihong. The next step to prepare to deal with is Bian Bush.

Among the six elders, Wei Lianxiang is a spy-like person and is not suitable for appearance. Elder Xia and Danmei are responsible for the training and education of the next generation of disciples. They are relatively peaceful. Bian Bufu and Wen Caiting are in the same group, and they are also the biggest force besides Zhu Yuyan, which is a factor of uncertainty.

This time, I had no choice but to use Bian Bingbing, but Zhu Yuyan didn't believe Bingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbingbing

But it would be different if one of Pichen added. In the past, the Yingui Sect and Laojun Temple were loyal allies, and they were also cooperative in the matter of the Ming Zun Sect. Behind Shangguan Long’s Luoyang Gang was the Yingui Sect. When Rong Jiaojiao was in Luoyang, he pretended to be a father and daughter with Zhirong Fengxiang. The richest man in Luoyang, Rong Fengxiang, is the demonic Taoist Pichen.

However, after passing the Holy Gate Conference outside the Frontier, Bichen chose the Daming Zun Sect and broke up with the Yingui Sect. However, Bian Bufu and Pichen were good friends. Zhu Yuyan suspected that Pichen had left Tongwan City and was rescued by Bian Bufu. Under the current circumstances, Bian Bufu's chance of choosing the Daming Zun Sect is very high.

If you are not really familiar with the Holy Sect, you really can't understand these complex relationships. As the Holy Lord, I naturally understand them. That is to say, the reason why our support has not appeared for a long time is because of Pichen's interference, then An Long and Hou Xibai might be in danger.

"Where is Wang Shichong?" I asked.

"Wang Shichong? That coward, his comfortable life has long left him with no ambitions. He is still thinking of spending his life in Chang'an City. He has been executed by the Great Master." Rong Jiaojiao said contemptuously, "Master, I would like to advise you, if you cooperate with us, you will have a chance to survive, otherwise don't blame your disciple for being ruthless."

Seeing how confident she said, we were confused. Is the Ming Zun Sect really sure to succeed? Don’t she know that it’s about to dawn?

"Junior Sister Jiaojiao, Senior Sister wants to remind you that you have time to chat with us here, so why not help. Once it is dawn, I wonder how long you can last?" Wanwan said coldly.

"It won't take long, just hold on until dawn." Rong Jiaojiao smiled strangely.

Dawn?

Did the people from the Daming Zun Sect not rush to get rid of the three brothers of the Li family, but wanted to trap us here until dawn? What was their idea?

Time will not stop because of my thoughts. It is very early in summer, and light comes from outside the hall, which makes people who have been tired all night feel a little relieved. The drums sound outside are heard. This is the time for the doors of the various parties to open, and it also indicates that a new day is about to begin.

These Uighurs actually relaxed like us, as if they had accomplished a big thing, and had already begun to turn off attack to defend, desperately guarding the Tai Chi Hall and preventing us from going out.

Not long after, a rumbling sound came from outside. This was the sound of many people stepping forward at the same time. I believe reinforcements should have arrived. At this time, the Uighurs began to evacuate, and the masters of the Ming Zun Sect also left the Tai Chi Hall. Only the three brothers of the Li family looked at each other, wondering if they were considering continuing to kill each other.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and the thief is trapped in the Tai Chi Hall and shoot!" Suddenly, someone outside shouted.

Arrows flew towards Tai Chi Hall, which caught us off guard.

Your Highness the Crown Prince?

This was really surprising. When I looked out, I saw Li Jiancheng standing on the high viewing platform, with a cold expression and looking at the Tai Chi Hall with a cold look.

"Who is that person?" Li Jiancheng in Tai Chi Hall pointed at himself outside and exclaimed.

[Note 1] The Manichi religion in history, namely the Ming religion, also known as the Wei Ni religion, and the Ming Zun religion was founded in the 3rd century AD. It was approximately equivalent to the Wei and Jin Dynasties in China. The Manichi religion was introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty and gradually developed later.

The Maniac Church was introduced to Xinjiang in my country in the sixth to seventh century, and then from Xinjiang to the Uighurs in the desert, and it was popular there. In the third year of Dali of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty (768), at the request of the Uighurs, Mani Temple was established in Jianghuai and other places. When the Buddha was destroyed in the fifth year of Huichang of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty (845), Maniacism was also severely hit and turned into a secret religion, absorbing Taoism and folk beliefs, thus renamed the Ming Cult.

Because the Ming Cult believed that darkness was about to pass and light was coming, it dared to rebel and repeatedly acted against the government. Since the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ming Cult rebellion occurred in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places. Later, the Ming Cult was combined with the Maitreya Cult and the White Lotus Society, and evolved into the White Lotus Sect in the late Ming Dynasty. Although the term Ming Cult was no longer found in literature by the Qing Dynasty, the saying that "King of Ming" was born was still circulated among the people.

Linglong said, "It was a Uighur named Xiugu Sidu. He stole the secret book of the Persian Ming Zun Sect and fled to the East to the devil king, and he was the first person in the Eastern cult to explore the wisdom scriptures. If you meet him, you must not underestimate the enemy."

The Ming Dynasty sect in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is the Manichaeism introduced from Persia, which is the Ming Dynasty sect in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I guess another name in the so-called "The Wisdom Sutra of the Roots of All Things" is called "The Great Transfer of the Universe".
