A Weird Theater That Started In London

Zoroastrianism has many scriptures and complex doctrines, but it is not difficult to understand: worship the world, sun, moon and stars, and believe in the only god-Ahura Mazda.

Believers believe that there are two powers of light and darkness in the world. There is a long struggle between them, but the light will eventually overcome darkness and evil under the leadership of Ahura Mazda.

Being in it, one needs to make a choice, that is, foolishness is punished forever, and truth leads to a rich life.

The holy fire directs the distinction between good and evil. He is the son of the true God, pure, brilliant, absolute, and perfect. At the same time, it is the eye of justice, all good and evil are invisible in front of the flame.

It is precisely because of this that the Tang people who do not know the truth call Zoroastrianism: Zoroastrianism.

As for Sabao.

The followers of Zoroastrianism are easy to gather crowds, and are easy to cause commotion and affect public order. Therefore, since the ancestors, the court specially set up a special official-Sabao to facilitate the management of Zoroastrian temples.

He is not from the Tang Dynasty, but an upper-class figure of Zoroastrianism. He can be regarded as an official from the fifth rank and is respected.

"Let the nobleman wait a long time."

At this moment, an old man wearing a white robe with gold rims is walking slowly, his appearance is particularly solemn, and two flame pattern belts are crossed around his neck. Most importantly, he is holding a golden scepter in one hand and holding it in the other. Torch.

Neither is anything.

Needless to say, the torch can feel its light and grandness even before it approaches. And that golden scepter, with a ruby ​​inlaid on it, gave Lu Li a strong sense of crisis, as if he were warning, but also as if he did it unintentionally.

"The true **** gave an enlightenment, hoping that the nobles can watch us perform the fire sacrifice ceremony."

Sabao guessed that Lu Qiqi was jealous, and did not require him to participate in the ceremony in person, just watch.

"good."

Lu Li felt that since it was a god, the creator **** and savior in the teachings must have a pattern, and he would not force people to believe in him.

Therefore, he agreed with the situation after a little thought.

A smile appeared on the face of Sabao in the white robe, and said: "So, please leave my temple temporarily and wait for the fire ceremony to end."

On the side, Millis wasn't worried about Lu Li's safety, nodded to him, and immediately walked away. From beginning to end, the lotus cross did not leave his hand.

After a series of changes, Qian Rui felt that she could not bear more shocks. No, to be precise, she should not be able to bear more shocks.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese people standing in the distance watching and joining in the excitement also consciously left, because the fire worship ceremony prohibits non-teaching people from visiting, except those who are invited.

In fact, the ceremony is not mysterious.

The two red priests joined forces and brought an obviously specially crafted brazier——

There are three camels carved on it. They stand on a lotus seat, carrying a disc on their backs, and there are fire flames on their backs. On both sides, there are priests in the shape of birds.

This group of congregants is not this kind of bird people, right?

When Lu Li was watching the ceremony, a strange thought flashed in his mind.

However, when Sabao sent the holy fire into the brazier, all the distracting thoughts disappeared.

Flames rose into the sky.

"Mazda in the sky..." Sabao loosened the golden scepter, folded his hands across his chest, forming a flame shape, and at the same time chanted the pre-prepared sacrificial words in his mouth.

Lu Li couldn't understand Sogdian, so naturally he didn't know what he was chanting, but the sacred fire in the basin became more and more grand as the ceremony proceeded.

The Zoroastrians took off their masks, praised them in unison, and touched their foreheads, ears, and nose with musky spice to show respect.

Among them are males and females, and the men are not much to look at. All of them have big beards. If you don't look closely, they feel that they are carved out of the same mold.

The females are different. The facial features are three-dimensional, and the pupils show a faint amber color. Although the body is covered with a red robe, it is difficult to conceal the slim figure and looks very exotic.

When he was distracted, Lu Li heard a strange voice, and he felt that his tone was very similar to the Sogdian spoken by Sabao earlier.

Unfortunately, the scumbag said that he couldn't understand a single sentence.

But over time, the voice became clearer and more rapid, as if to say something important.

After confirming that it was not a auditory hallucination, Lu Li, who was cautious in his heart, kept it in his mind, and planned to find time to learn the Middle Sogdian language, or, afterwards, find a suitable Sogdian to ask.

At the same time, the lingering sound in the ear disappeared, and the sacred flame burning in the basin gradually extinguished. In the end, only a flame was left swaying.

"Prince, if you encounter trouble in Chang'an in the future, you can go to Zoro Temple for help." The Baipao Dasabao said with a full expression, "The Zoroastrians are willing to be the forerunners."

Upon seeing this, Lu Qi felt a chill. He didn't like the feeling of being dumb.

What is the idea of ​​the bird **** Ahura Mazda?

That voice came from his mouth?

Frankly speaking, Lu Lilai didn't know whether he agreed to come to the temple to observe the ceremony today, whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"The nobleman previously said that there was something important to deal with. We were bothered. Now that the ceremony is over, I will send the nobleman away." Da Sabao decided to send it off in person.

However, before he could figure out their intentions, Lu Li was reluctant to leave, and said straightforwardly: "During the fire sacrifice ceremony of the noble cult just now, Sabao heard someone say something."

Baipao Sabao shook his head, his expression as usual.

"Then... ask Da Sabao, what does this sentence mean?" Lu Li repeated the sentence he heard without hesitation.

"It looks like Sogdian, but it's not."

Several red-robed priests shook their heads in unison.

In the surrounding areas, Hu and Han are mixed, and the Sogdian language is not uncommon. There are even Tang people who are proficient in this language, who specialize in translating the two languages ​​for their lives.

Therefore, if the voice really speaks Sogdian, there is no need for the Zoroastrians to conceal it, nor can it be concealed.

"That may be the enlightenment of the true **** to the nobles, and others have no chance to comprehend it." Sa Bao didn't know what he was making ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and stuffed a gold coin into Lu Li's hands. ."

Having said this, his tone was full of reluctance.

"..." Lu Li delayed in answering.

When dealing with a mysterious sect, Lu Qi had a lot of worries.

"Ahura Mazda is the **** of light, as it is said: good thinking, good words, and good deeds are all merits."

"He teaches us to obey the scriptures and doctrines, how can he harm the nobles?"

This is indeed true.

If Mazda was an evil god, no matter how many Changan Hu people, no matter how much the Zoroastrianism had an influence on them, the court would have banned him long ago, and it would be impossible to give an official to the most famous among the Zoroastrians.

And through the memory he inherited, Lu Li also knew part of the teachings of fire worship: darkness should not be underestimated, but good deeds will surely defeat evil, and light will surely replace darkness.

After the final battle, all souls will pass through the [Judge's Bridge], the good will get the reward they deserve, and the wicked will never be born again.
