But a Zoroastrian priest stumbled in from the door, shouting as he ran, "Sabao, something has happened! The sacred fires enshrined in the Zoroastrian temple have suddenly gone out for some reason! Sabao, go and have a look!"

When Milliman heard this, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, making him dizzy.

After a while, Milriman finally regained his sanity, but glared at Li Wangyou and the others viciously.That expression was ferocious and ferocious, like a ferocious beast ready to choose someone to devour.

"It's you! It must be your fault! Are you going to make enemies of all of us Sogdians? You will suffer retribution!"

Just as Li Wangyou and the others said the words to extinguish the holy fire, the holy fire in the Zoroastrian Temple was extinguished.If this matter had nothing to do with this group of dandies, Milliman wouldn't believe it even if he killed him. There is such a coincidence in the world.

"Hey, Sabao, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. We are standing in front of you. Which eye of yours saw us going to extinguish the holy fire in your Zoroastrian temple? False accusations are against you!" Chai Lingwu sneered disdainfully.

Wei Shuyu also sneered: "Sabao Mofei thinks we are gods? When talking with you here, can you still extinguish the holy fire in your Zoroastrian temple? It's really nonsense, it's ridiculous!"

"Hey, it's okay, we can testify that we didn't go to the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple, otherwise it would be yellow mud falling off the crotch, it's either shit or shit. Tsk tsk, Sabao, you can't frame others, we are good Scared, haha." Du Gou sneered, regardless of Milriman's identity or not, and taunted him directly.

Milliman glared at them viciously, with an expression that this matter is endless with you, he didn't dare to delay any longer, turned his head and ran towards the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple.

On the fire altar, the Zoroastrian priests and priests who got the news rushed over, and all of them stared at the copper tripod in dumbfounded.

There are seven or eight copper tripods on the fire altar, which were originally filled with sandalwood as fuel and kept burning. This is a sacred and inviolable sacred object of Zoroastrianism.

But now, Milliman was dumbfounded, and the priests were dumbfounded.

Among the seven or eight copper tripods, all the burning sandalwood wood was extinguished, and only the remaining wood gave off faint blue smoke.

Milman yelled at the priests in charge of guarding the holy fire in the altar of fire furiously: "Who? Who extinguished the holy fire? Why didn't you stop it?"

The Zoroastrian priests and priests who were in charge of guarding the fire altar were already scared out of their wits and trembling.

Finally, an elderly priest bowed and replied, "Sabao, we don't know why the holy fire went out. No one took any action to extinguish the fire, and the holy fire just went out by itself."

"Did Tang people enter the fire altar?"

The priests shook their heads one after another: "Sabao, no Tang people enter the fire altar. As you know, non-religious believers are not allowed to enter the fire altar."

"How could the sacred fire go out by itself?" Milliman roared, "Check the wood on the fire altar immediately, someone must have tampered with the wood."

The priests of the Zoroastrianism panicked and began to check the wood in the copper tripod. The wood that started the fire was all sandalwood, dry and suitable in size, without any problems.

It has been carefully checked several times, and several Zoroastrian priests who are responsible for guarding the holy fire have also come to check and confirm that there is no problem with the wood.

The priests guarding the fire altar also swore to the gods that no one tried to extinguish the holy fire, let alone poured water on the holy fire.

Everyone can see this.

Milliman fell to sit on the fire platform, he murmured looking at the bronze tripods, he couldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes anyway.

As the Zoroastrian Sabao in the Chang'an area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, if all the "fires in the fire" of the Zoroastrian Temple are extinguished, his position as a Sabao will be exhausted.

It is even possible that he will be escorted back to the Zoroastrian temple and burned at the stake as a punishment.

Thinking that his glory and wealth might be lost, the best result might be to be recalled to the Zoroastrian temple in Persia to be a low-level priest.

Let him leave the bustling world of Tang Dynasty, leave Chang'an, the most powerful city in the world, and go back to the Western Regions where the Gobi desert is everywhere. It is better to kill him directly.

Milman has presided over the Zoroastrian Temple in Chang'an City for nearly ten years. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has been obsessed with life in the East.

In his opinion, this is the city where a high-level person like him already lives, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and that is the center of the world.

In Chang'an, as a Sogdian in Sapao in the Chang'an area, he lived a very happy and happy life. He even thought that the great Sapao in the distant Persian temple was not as comfortable and comfortable as his current life.

But now, the holy flame of the "Fire in the Fire" went out for no reason, and all his glory and wealth became precarious with the extinguishing of the holy flame, and he couldn't help but regret it.

Milliman was sure that all of this must have been done by those dandies of Tang Dynasty, although he wanted to break his head and didn't know how they did it, let the holy flame go out by itself for no reason in front of everyone.

But consciously told him that the truth must be like this, the holy flame was extinguished artificially.

Milliman regretted this very much, regretting why he was so stubborn and unwilling to hand over the Byzantine slave girl to those dudes.

It's so ironic that a damned lowly female slave could lose everything she owns.

Milliman's eyes were dazed, and his pupils had completely lost focus.

More and more Sogdians heard the news that the holy fire in the Zoroastrian Temple was extinguished, and rushed over from all directions in Chang'an City, and more and more people gathered outside the fire altar.

Many devout believers even cried bitterly, kneeling on the ground one after another, begging the gods not to abandon them.

Li Wangyou, Chai Lingwu and others also followed Miriman to the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple, all smiling and crowding around to watch the excitement.

When Milliman saw Li Wangyou and others in the crowd, he felt a surge of enthusiasm, and rushed over regardless, wanting to fight desperately with the dudes.

Li Wangyou smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Milriman's ear, and whispered something to him softly.His words startled Miriman immediately, and he looked at Li Wangyou with a complicated look in his eyes...

156 Sun Sky Fire

Li Wangyou just whispered into Milliman's ear: "Want the fire of victory? I can help you get the top flame."

For the current Milliman, these words are not stingy with fatal temptation.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, and looked at the boy from Tang Dynasty in front of him. He actually said that he could get the top flame. How is this possible?

The so-called fire of victory, it is not just the sky fire, but more importantly, it needs to bring together the ordinary holy fire from all walks of life, plus the flame of the sky fire.When the Persians fought, they even sent the fire of victory to the battlefield to boost morale.

But Milliman is like a drowning person at this moment, even if it is a straw, he wants to hold on tightly.Milliman turned his expectant eyes to Li Wangyou, waiting for his explanation.

Li Wangyou smiled sassyly: "Sabao, why don't you find a place suitable for talking in detail? You don't think you should talk about this in public, do you?"

Milman stared at Li Wangyou silently for a few seconds, as if trying to tell whether what he said was the truth or a lie.

Finally, the glimmer of hope in his heart prevailed, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, then turned around and led Li Wangyou and a few dudes into the Zoroastrian Temple.

The reason why the holy fire in the fire altar of the Zuo Temple in Liquanfang extinguished itself inexplicably was naturally caused by the Cheng brothers, the Yuchi twins, and Fang Yiai.

Non-believers are not allowed to enter the fire altar of the Sogdians.

But as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and with the influence of these rich families in Chang'an City, it is not difficult to find people who are willing to sell their souls for money, let alone find some Sogdians who are not pure in faith. .

After promising huge profits to several Sogdians, these Sogdians acted as accomplices in extinguishing the holy fire of the Zoroastrian Temple without hesitation.

The brothers of the Cheng family and the Yuchi twins had some skin bags made immediately, and these skin bags were bound in the clothes of the Sogdians.

One end of the skin pouch is open, and it comes out from the cuff of the clothes, covered by the wide clothes, no one can see any flaws.

After that, vinegar and alkali powder were poured into the skin bag, and these Sogdians pretended to be devout believers and entered the fire altar to worship and pray in front of the holy fire.

None of the priests guarding the fire altar noticed that among the Sogdian believers who worshiped and prayed in the fire altar, some of them secretly pointed their sleeves at the bronze cauldron burning with the holy fire while praying.

The vinegar in the leather bag reacts with the alkali powder to generate carbon dioxide gas continuously.And these carbon dioxide gas flows along the outlet of the skin bag, from the cuffs of the robes of those Sogdians, and flows into the copper tripod in an endless stream.
