The carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air, and soon after flowing into the copper tripod, it gathers in the copper tripod, cuts off the air needed for wood burning, and suffocates the flame.

This carbon dioxide gas is colorless and odorless, so the priests guarding the fire altar in the Zoroastrian Temple naturally had no way of discovering it.

When they noticed that the sacred flames in several copper tripods on the fire altar were extinguished, the Sogdian believers who worshiped and prayed in the fire altar also noticed it, and the scene was in chaos.

And those Sogdians who had completed their task slipped out of the Zoroastrian Temple one after another taking advantage of the confusion.

All of this happened without anyone noticing it. In an era when chemical knowledge was almost zero, even if the priests and priests of Zoroastrianism tried to crack their heads, they had no way of knowing how the holy fire was extinguished.

In fact, those Sogdians who acted as inner ghosts were also unclear. They just tied a big leather bag inside their robes as instructed.After that, he stood by the holy fire as instructed, and aimed the cuffs of his robe at the holy fire in the copper tripod.

When the holy flame in the copper tripod was extinguished one after another, these Sogdians were also taken aback. They didn't know what happened at all, but only vaguely realized that the extinguishing of the holy fire should be related to them.

These Sogdians also began to feel scared now, and left Chang'an one after another after collecting money from the dandies, and went to the Western Regions, and this matter became an unsolved case.

Milman invited Li Wangyou and others into a quiet room in the Zoroastrian Temple, changed his original unruly attitude, lowered his posture and asked, "Xiao Langjun, what do you mean by the holy fire?"

"It's Tianhuo, I can help you find the purest Tianhuo." Li Wangyou said with a smile, he had already thought about how to fool this Zoroastrian Sabao.

Although Milliman didn't know exactly how the torch was extinguished, it must have something to do with the people in front of him.

But there is no proof, and he doesn't even know how the other party operates, so it is meaningless to continue to entangle this matter. He just wants to find out whether what Li Wangyou said is true or not.

"If it's just a lightning strike, I don't seem to need your help." Milliman returned a trace of reason, and replied in a flat tone.

It is not so easy to collect the top flame. Although it is difficult to collect lightning fire, Zoroastrianism can do the same.

The key to the fire of victory lies in the need to collect the sacred fires offered by various classes of believers. This is a very cumbersome ritual process, and it may even take several years to complete.

Li Wangyou smiled and shook his head: "No, I think you are mistaken. The fire of thunder and lightning is actually not the real sky fire. The real sky fire should come from the sun."

"sun?"

"Yes, the flame from the sun is the purest holy fire. Do you want it? I can collect it for you."

Li Wangyou's words made Milriman suddenly stand up and stare at him.

It took a long time for Milriman to look serious, and asked word by word: "Are you sure it's the fire from the sun? My lord, think clearly, the consequences of deceiving our Zoroastrianism will be very serious!"

Milliman had never heard that the sun and sky fire could be collected, but if it was really the sun and sky fire, he was sure that it would definitely be the top holy fire, even more rare than the "victory fire" stipulated in the doctrine.

Li Wangyou chuckled: "What's the benefit of me lying to you? Naturally, I will collect the sun and sky fire in front of your Zoroastrianism."

He naturally has the confidence to collect the so-called "Sun and Sky Fire", isn't it actually the process of collecting the Olympic torch for later generations?

By concentrating sunlight in the center of the concave mirror, high temperature is generated to ignite the flame, which is the only way to collect the Olympic flame.

Although this Great Tang Li Wangyou couldn't make any concave mirrors, he still had a way to collect the so-called "sacred flame of the sun" through similar means.

Even the sacred flame that will be recognized by the Olympic Games in later generations, are you afraid that you won't be able to fool this Zoroastrianism?

"Then please start quickly, what do you need? Our Zoroastrianism provides everything." Miliman believed what Li Wangyou said, and Li Wangyou really couldn't deceive them about this matter.

If Li Wangyou dared to deceive them, Milman swore that he would go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to file a complaint, and would even ask all the Sogdian merchants in Chang'an to strike, putting pressure on the Tang Dynasty.

Controlling the business exchanges on the Silk Road, Milman did not believe that His Majesty the Emperor of Tang would uphold justice for them.

However, Li Wangyou waved his hand: "It's fine for me to help you collect sky fire, but what do you give in exchange? I'm not a believer in your Zoroastrianism, so I have no obligation to help you with this favor."

"Gold, jewelry, women, whatever you want, I can give you anything, as long as you can collect the sun and sky fire." Miliman said arrogantly. For the Sogdians, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems. .

Li Wangyou looked at Milriman with a half-smile, "Sabao, you know what I want. Give me that female slave of the Great Qin Dynasty in exchange for Sun and Sky Fire."

Milliman hesitated again. Turning the Daqin woman into a prostitute was an order from the Persian Zoroastrian temple, and he didn't know whether he should disobey it.

He completely forgot how he regretted before, how he regretted not handing over the slave girl to the dudes when they asked for it.

Seeing Miriman's hesitation, Li Wangyou bewitched again: "Sabao, Persia is far away from the Tang Dynasty, you can just declare that the female slave died of illness. You know, compared with an insignificant female slave, the sun flame It is the one-in-a-million god.”

Milman was persuaded by Li Wangyou, and nodded: "Young Lord, as long as you can really help me collect the sun and sky fire, you can take that female slave away and dispose of it as you like."

After fooling around for a long time, Milriman finally let go, and Li Wangyou couldn't help showing a smile on his face.No matter how arrogant you are, Milriman, you are nothing more than a scumbag who has never seen the world.

If it weren't for the fear that Milriman jumped over the wall in a hurry and would be detrimental to Aphrodite, Li Wangyou didn't even intend to let him pass the test so easily.

157 Willing to follow me?

Milliman also had a good plan. If he could collect the sun and sky fire in front of everyone, as the young man from Tang Dynasty said, then the Zoroastrian Temple in Liquanfang would turn into a serf and sing.

Not only will the Zoroastrian temple not hold him accountable for extinguishing the holy flame, but he will also gain more. Compared with this, a Byzantine female slave is really nothing.

And after the lesson that the holy fire on the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple was extinguished for no reason, he did not dare to offend Li Wangyou again.Even if Li Wangyou collected the Sun Flame for them, if it was extinguished again, then he would really have no way to survive.

Perhaps hitting his head on the copper tripod on the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple would be the easiest thing he could think of.

"My lord, how long will it take for you to gather the solar flame for my Zoroastrianism?" Milman asked anxiously.

"Anytime, as long as there is sun, preferably at noon."

Milliman lowered his head and thought for a while: "What about the noon three days later? You must collect the pure holy fire of the sun in front of all the priests and priests of my Zoroastrianism."

Li Wangyou nodded: "Okay, but you have to let me take that Daqin female slave away first."

Since Milliman had already agreed to the deal, he didn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.

If at noon three days later, Li Wangyou was able to collect the sacred flame of the sun in front of all the Zoroastrian priests and priests in Chang'an City, then everyone would be happy.

If Li Wangyou had deceived them, the Zoroastrianism would definitely not let it go.

Milliman summoned a priest and asked him, Li Wangyou and others to go to the barbarian restaurant, and ordered the barbarian shopkeeper to release them.

Li Wangyou and the others bid farewell and left, while Milriman was busy preparing for the torch gathering ceremony three days later, which was a tedious task.

At the same time, he had to appease the believers and tell them that the reason why the holy fire would go out for no reason was because the Zoroastrian Temple was about to collect the extremely pure solar holy fire.

In front of the most holy and noble sun flame, the fire in the fire will be extinguished naturally, which is a respect for the sun flame.

This rhetoric, combined with the holy fire on the fire altar of the Zoroastrian Temple, was automatically extinguished for no reason, but it made Zoroastrians believe it was true.

After all, many believers in the fire altar were worshiping and praying at that time, and they witnessed with their own eyes that the holy fire was automatically extinguished one after another in the copper tripod.

Under the propaganda of Sabau Miriman, everyone, including the priests and priests in the Zoroastrian Temple, believed this statement.

The Sogdians began to pray, expecting the coming of the sun's holy fire three days later.

After leaving the Zoroastrian Temple, the Cheng brothers, the Yuchi twins, Fang Yiai, and Niu Zhengping were already waiting for them at the gate of the Zoroastrian Temple.

Due to the presence of Zoroastrian priests, everyone suppressed their smiles, winked at each other, and conveyed information.
