Zhang Xiaojing ignored him and stood up from the flowerbed and walked lightly towards the main hall of the Zoroastrian Temple. After Zoroastrianism was introduced to the Central Plains, although it did not preach the Dharma or preach, there were many believers in the Hu people. Influenced by the Tang Dynasty culture, the architecture was also in a hip-mounted style. The columns under the towers were arranged, supported by flying eaves and brackets. Fire-spouting beasts and burning steamers were squatting on the ridges. This was also the only symbol that could symbolize the Zoroastrian Temple.

Li Siye followed closely and stood on the edge of the pillar with Zhang Xiaojing. Hearing quarrels in front of him, the two looked at each other and went forward to check the truth.

After passing through a front porch, dozens of believers in white were blocking outside the inner hall gate. These people held long sticks in their hands, surrounded by the closed vermilion gate, quarreling with each other about something.

The two groups of people had different opinions. One said that the government should wait for the government to rescue Dasako. The other party disagreed, saying that the demons in the hall were driven into the Zoroastrian temple by the government, so the government was unreliable. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's law stated that "those who hold the tyrants will fight with the hostages. If the government makes a mess, Dasako will easily lose his life.

Li Siye felt his scalp tingling when he heard it from afar. Anything involving religious beliefs will definitely be difficult to deal with. The believers are crazy and irrational.

Zhang Xiaojing waved Li Siye and signaled him to retreat to the yard first, and to the back of the main hall. He found that there were also many believers around the back door.

Zhang Xiaojing took him to avoid the believers, walked around the corridor column to the window sash of the side hall, and reached out to push the window sash, which had been bolted to death.

Zhang Xiaojing stretched out his hand at him: "Give me the knife."

Li Siye didn't understand what he was going to do, so he handed the barrier knife over with both hands. Zhang Xiaojing reached out to take it, stabbed the blade into the bottom of the window sash, and pushed it horizontally. The wooden bolt at the bottom of the window sash broke into two pieces.

He grinned himself and praised: "What a good knife."

He handed the knife back to Li Siye. Zhang Xiaojing pushed open the window sash and turned over and jumped in. Li Siye followed closely behind, and the two of them stepped on the solid wood floor, making a squeaking sound.

Zhang Xiaojing instinctively slowed down, his pace was as light as a cat, but Li Siye couldn't do this. He took off his straw sandals and carried them in his hand, walking barefoot on the ground.

The two walked through the dim halls and pavilions, all the windows were sealed and unblocked. Only torches inserted on the wall symbolizing holy objects could provide light. They groped for a distance in the corridor column, and the light in front of them suddenly became clear. They walked out of the bamboo curtain behind the door and saw the patio surrounded by the temples on all sides.

There is a round tower in the center of the patio, and a rotating staircase leads to the top of the tower. There are blood stains left on the tower wall, giving people a gloomy feeling.

A strange chirping sound came from his head. Li Siye suddenly looked up and found that under the railings on the second floor of the surrounding buildings, there were bird cages hanging from them, and big birds with black wings flapping inside. The birds felt the arrival of strangers, and were frightened and made sharp screams, struggling and flapping in the bird cage.

Li Siye suddenly felt creepy, held the knife in his hand tightly, and unconsciously moved closer to Zhang Xiaojing.

Zhang Xiaojing was very calm. He raised his head to look at the sky with his hands on his back and re-identified the direction. He said to Li Siye, who was standing aside and tremblingly, and said, "This is the sky burial platform used by the Zoroastrian Church to hold the sky burial ceremony. Let's go right, and there is the main hall."

Li Siye knew a little about the sky burial. This custom is to expose the bodies of believers to the wilderness and let vultures peck at them. In this way, the souls of the deceased can return to heaven. The funeral ceremony of the Zoroastrianism is sky burial. Unexpectedly, there is such a place for sky burial hidden in Chang'an City.

The tummy vultures that ate the scabbard were... Li Siye felt nauseous even after thinking about it, so he quickly took two steps and followed Zhang Xiaojing into the palace.

When they entered the front hall, Zhang Xiaojing suddenly stopped. Behind them was a tightly closed door, and the shouts of believers came from outside the door. The feelings circled so much, just to enter this door.

Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye squatted behind the pillar, using their poor vision to observe the demons in the hall.

The inner hall is more than ten feet deep, and the support inside is no longer a pillar, but a stone wall with Western characteristics. The wall is carved with murals of the Hu people performing sacrifices. There are three-legged pillars on both sides of the center of the hall, and a brazier is supported above the pillars. There are raging flames burning inside. The oil of the fuel is of unknown animal, which smells particularly pungent.

The so-called demon man held Sabao hostage and leaned against the innermost stone wall, which was also very easy to distinguish. The great Sabao was wearing white clothes that symbolized purity and light. The three demons were all wearing dark clothes and holding weapons such as spears and forks in their hands.

Li Siye looked at Zhang Xiaojing worriedly. There was no visual perspective in the inner palace. If they wanted to get close to each other, they had to be exposed to them or transform into spider-men and crawl over the caisson.

"How should we get through?"

He was waiting for Zhang Xiaojing's answer, but this person suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the corridor with a swagger.

Li Siye was startled and waved at him in a low voice, but Zhang Xiaojing ignored him at all.

The demons on the opposite side had noticed the other party and screamed in shock and anger: "How did you come in!"

Zhang Xiaojing stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly: "I am Zhang Xiaojing, the bad general of Wannian County, Chang'an City. I will come to capture you demons who are wrong in words and deeds by Shangguan!"

Li Siye also walked out from behind the pillar, smacked his lips, and was a little unanimous of Zhang Xiaojing's approach to handling the case. The army of Jingzhao Mansion asked to arrest the dead, and the other party had hostages in his hands. Shouldn't he speak softly to prevent the other party from doing excessive behavior?

Zhang Xiaojing walked forward leisurely, and the demon man holding Sabao holding a short knife made a hysterical clamor: "Don't come over! If you go further, I will kill the Baosa of the Zoroastrian!"

Zhang Xiaojing stared at the one-eyed man and shot fiercely, as if he didn't care about the life and death of the hostages. Instead, his steps were getting faster and faster. Li Siye looked back nervously. Fortunately, the believers of the Zoroastrian could not see the scene inside the sect, otherwise the first thing they rushed in was Zhang Buliangshuai.

"I will not make things difficult for you now. If I ask me to do it myself, your fate will be very miserable."

The demon leader had a irritable and ferocious face. The blade in his hand approached Sa Bao's neck. Sa Bao's face was covered in sweat, and the Adam's apple squirmed gently. The cold blade left a thin red thread on his skin.

Li Siye followed Zhang Xiaojing and walked forward, and found that the three demons looked like a family. The one who hijacked Sabao was a middle-aged man, and the one who stood on the left with a steel fork was a woman. Although she was wearing a man's linen shirt, the bun on her head was very obvious. The one holding a short gun in her hand was a young man, and his beard did not even grow out, which meant that he was very young.

These three people who were as frightened as frightened birds were trembling, and they were completely at a loss when ordinary people were facing desperate situations. Li Siye didn't believe it.

The young man holding a short gun in both hands finally couldn't bear it and launched the attack first. He held the gun and pointed it at Zhang Xiaojing's chest.

The woman screamed: "San'er, don't go over!"

Zhang Xiaojing's one-eye suddenly contracted, and he sideways to avoid grabbing San'er's spear head and bent downward. The ash rod of the short spear is very elastic and is bent into a U-shaped shape. The young man's face is flushed, and his whole body is concentrated on his hands, but he cannot move forward a little.

"loose!"

Zhang Xiaojing suddenly let go, and the ash rod hit the young man's forehead like a slingshot, making his head bleeding, and he fell to the ground with a short spear.

Zhang Xiaojing stepped on the young man's shoulder, and the demon leader shouted angrily: "Lotus God is above! Let go of him, otherwise I will kill Da Sabao!"

The bad coach was indifferent to such a threat, and he stepped on the young man to the ground.

The woman screamed and held the iron fork and rushed towards Zhang Xiaojing's spine. Li Siye hurriedly pulled out the obstacle knife to resist. The blade pressed against the iron fork. The fork teeth were long and pointed, only three inches away from his neck.

Li Siye was shocked. Fortunately, the woman was not very strong, but the steel fork was pushed back to the corner by Li Siye in her hand. The woman suddenly withdrew the steel fork at a critical moment and stabbed Li Siye again.

He was afraid of hurting the woman, so he threw away the unstoppable obstacle knife. He suddenly squatted forward and rushed to knock the woman away in the waist. He hit the wall with a pounce and fell slowly against the wall.

The woman who landed on the ground was completely speechless, which made Li Siye feel frightened. Could it be that she was killed in one go?

The demon leader suddenly realized that the hostages in his hands were useless. Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye did their own thing and crippled their wife and son in front of him.

"Damn the government, I will be with you..."

He suddenly picked up the tip of the knife, not attacking Sabao, but pointed the tip of the knife towards his neck.
