Under the sky

Chapter 147 Fire in the Backyard

Da Ke came to the seat facing west with the sound of "dang rang rang rang" footsteps, facing Gulthas.Her bronzed and elastic skin was in sharp contrast to Gulsa's dry and thin skin.A man and a woman, one moving and the other silent, one in his prime and the other in his seventies, Dake is wild, but Gursasi is recognized as the wisest Sasi, the two are sitting opposite each other.

Both Chaciwu'er and Nurdin looked at Gursasi. Dake's body was leaning sideways, and she didn't even sit upright.

"My God, dear Gulthas, is there anything worthy of calling a gathering of the Sasios in Batu?" Alex spoke, his voice was low and mesmerizing.

"It's still a topic that's older than me." Gursasi said, "I hope to unite the five Great Bass and spread the true faith throughout the country. I have said it many times over the past thirty years, God Sa doesn't want us to be divided. .”

"We once had a good opportunity, an opportunity that Salhajin bought with his life. More than 100 years ago, after the death of King Nu, the nine families started a civil war, but we missed this opportunity."

After Sarhajin's death, the Sa religion was in civil strife and split into five major badu. This is also the reason why the customs fell into civil war but the Sa religion did not take the opportunity to invade.

Alex raised his right hand slightly, indicating that he wanted to speak.His demeanor was very elegant and polite: "Who will lead?"

"Anyone can do it," Gulthas said, "but I think unity is the most important thing. I am old enough, are you worried that I will stay in power for too long?"

"The most important thing is to let the light of God Sa shine into the pass. There is a place of darkness, a city without sunlight. They will lead to annihilation."

"They once had faith. More than 100 years ago, there were people who followed God Sa in Guan." Alex said, "With Gursas's wisdom, he should have heard the story of the North Wind and the Sun."

"The story of the barbarians comes from a slave." Gurthas replied.Of course he had heard it. It was a story told by a slave in the West. Those stories were widely circulated among the Sa tribe.

"Coming from a barbarian tribe, but with wisdom." Alex said, "Why are there not a single Sa cultist left in the pass? Beifeng has failed. The gift given to us by the Sa god is the sun, not the North Wind. We must learn to use the sun's methods. ."

"Are Sas going to Hongxia Pass and knocking on the door?" Gursas asked, "Will you be greeted with bows and arrows or hugs?"

"Alexas, you mean Salhajin is the north wind?" Nourdin was obviously not happy.Except for Suma Batu, the other four Batu all believe in the legend of the son of the god Sa.

"Noor al-Din Sasi, we are not arguing about doctrine here, we are discussing facts."

"Anything that deviates from the teachings is not true," Noureddine said.

"The fact is that there is a conflict between us." Chaci Gursasi said, "If Gursas wants to enter the border, Walter Badu is willing to give way."

"So what about the Holy Mountain?" Gulthas said, "How many years have the people of God Sa not set foot on the Holy Mountain? As Sasi, aren't you upset that you have no chance to see the holy face of Yanabhata?"

The three priests except Da Ke all showed hesitant expressions.

Alex said: "If we talk about sharing the Holy Mountain, Sumaba is willing to do so. We have said a long time ago that the Holy Mountain does not need to be sealed. The Holy Mountain belongs to all the people of Sa God, not to any Sa Si, nor to the five major Batu.”

With a "swish" sound, Da Ke suddenly drew out his scimitar, which attracted everyone's attention.Da Ke ignored everyone. She bent down, took out a dirty cloth stained with oil from her belt, and wiped her scimitar.

"Atulie Batu's idea has always remained unchanged." Da Ke said, "Believers who deviate from the doctrine are not qualified to go up the mountain. Believers with unstable beliefs cannot go up the mountain. The scimitar cannot go up the mountain unless it is stained with the blood of the three blind men."

Regarding the Holy Mountain, Atulie's persistence is the most difficult to shake.

"I agree that all five Daba should be unified. Even if they are not unified, I will let the light of God Sa shine into the pass." Da Ke looked at Chaci Wu'er, "At that time, Walter Ba will provide us with food. , slaves, and roads.”

"As for who will lead." Da Ke puffed up his chest proudly, "The Tenggers Sutra makes it very clear: Strength and wisdom can lead people to the light. Whoever has strength and wisdom, Atulie Badu will follow. .”

She stared at Gulthas. In a certain way, she and Gulthas were also in contrast in this. Dako believed in strength, and Gulthas represented wisdom.

"Strength and wisdom." Gulthas said slowly, "I killed three heads of the Nine Families."

These words surprised everyone, even Dake straightened his upper body, as if he had heard incredible news.

"Does this count as a display of strength and wisdom?" Gulthas looked around at the crowd.

"What if the Nine Families want to take revenge!" Chaciwu'er said uneasily, "The border is just east of Walter Batu!"

Walter Batu is just outside the border and is the front line. Chaci Wuer's worries are not unreasonable.

"If the nine people dare to come, Atulie will be happy to increase the number of slaves." Da Ke raised the polished scimitar, "Walter's coward obediently retreats behind the soldiers."

"Walter's warriors are not cowards!" Chaciwu'er was displeased. Although he was the weakest of the five tribes, he could not be ridiculed. "We also have warriors who can fight against the blind!"

"Getatabadu will also help Walter to fight against the blind man." Nurdin agreed.

"There are also warriors in Getata?" Dakko mocked, "Why didn't I see them last time I went back?"

The last time Dakko went to Getata was during the Three-Day War. She hunted many heads there, and Nur al-Din asked for help.Noureddin was so angry that he blushed, stood up and said: "Take back what you said, otherwise there will be red grasslands!"

"Whose blood is on the red grassland?" Dake jumped up, squatted on the chair, and waved his scimitar, "You don't have to wait until the grassland, you can see the blood now!"

Alex dodged and used his broad shoulders to protect Nurdin behind him: "Dakosas, no blood is allowed in this tent!"

He believed that Da Ke would kill him as soon as he said so.

"Don't worry about the Nine Families, I don't think they dare to leave seclusion." Gulthas closed his eyes and brought the topic back, "They spend more time fighting among themselves, which makes them weak and is also a lesson for us." He His tone is always firm, steady and convincing.

"Our doctrines are different." Alex said, "Gulthas, this is the root of the problem."

"There are no different teachings!" Da Ke screamed sharply, "There is only one truth! The "Savata Sutra" guides the direction, and the "Tengasi Sutra" opens the way! The way to glorify the Sa God is faith, for the glory after death. and happiness! Everything else is heresy! Heresy!”

"I have shown strength and wisdom." Gulthas said, "If you are still unwilling to unite, I can only express regret."

The intimidation in his words was obvious, and it was also a warning. He had already taken action against the Nine Families and was not afraid of taking action against the other Badu.

"Use your scimitar to fight for it!" Da Ke shouted loudly, "Kill Da Ke and get the most heads in the Three-Day War!" After saying that, ignoring that the meeting was still going on, he strode out of the tent.

"Dake has already said a way to get Atulie to join." Gursasi said, "Where are the three Sas?" He first looked at the weakest Walter Badu Sas Chaci Wuer.

Chaci Wu'er said: "Walter agrees with the alliance, but leadership selection requires long-term consideration."

Gulthas easily eliminated the three heads of the Nine Families, and he was shocked by his methods.At first, Nabu Batu resolutely opened up the Holy Road and sent him from the Hero's Road to undercover. The other Batu were laughing at this move. Now it turns out that Gultha's actions are more far-sighted.

The leader of the Killing Nine Family was just demonstrating, and he believed that Gulthas was ready to launch an attack at any time.What's more, if the Nine Families really want to take revenge, Walter will also need Naib's help. After all, they are the front line outside the border.

Gulthas looked at Nur al-Din in Getata Badu.

Nureddin hesitated. Although he was the highest-ranking Sas in Getata, his decision-making was not as good as other Sas.While I was thinking, I suddenly heard Chaci Wuer shouting: "It's on fire!"

Gulthas turned his head, and sure enough, a fire broke out in a corner of the tent. The fire was so intense that half of the big tent was engulfed in flames. Why did it suddenly catch fire?Could there be an assassin or an ambush?
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Nurdin and Chachiwuer rushed out of the tent first. Alex stood up and said: "Gulsasi, let's get out of the way!"

Gulthas also stood up, with Alex on guard. The two quickly walked out of the tent, only to see Da Ke standing not far away holding a torch. Her laughter was as sharp as the tip of a knife scraping against an iron plate. I almost had to bend over and laugh.

She actually set fire to the tent.

When the surrounding guards saw the fire, they rushed forward. Just as the guards of Getata were about to step forward, Dakko dropped the torch, drew out his scimitar, and jumped towards the Getata guards. The sword was faster than lightning, and he killed him instantly. The next head came, and he grabbed another person and pulled him to the ground. He held a knife in both hands and chopped it off. The head spurted forward along the column of blood for a foot or so.

"There is no tent now, whose blood is on the red grassland?" Da Ke stepped on the corpse and laughed.

The guards of the five major Batu have arrived. The guards of Getata want to attack, but the guards of the Atu Lie tribe have already stepped forward to protect their Sa Si.

"Ah, we have a beautiful morning today." Dakko stretched and felt refreshed. The iron rings on his arms and boots could not help but clank.She strode away surrounded by the escort, leaving behind the four Sas with livid faces.

"Nur al-Din Sasi hasn't answered my question yet." Gursasi reminded him.

Viciousness filled Nureddin's face. He looked at the tent that was engulfed in fire and said: "Gatata is willing to ally with Naib, share the holy mountain, and spread the teachings together!" Although the guards quickly sent new seats , but the four Sas did not sit down, obviously they did not want this meeting to last too long.Gulthas looked at Alex again.

"Dear Gulthas." Alex said, "Suma is willing to unite, but the doctrine..."

"I allow your teachings that different thinking can coexist. If we cannot seek common ground while reserving differences in a peaceful way, the tragedy during the conquest period will happen again. Nebu Batu follows the Son of God, but it is not necessary to govern in the way of the Son of God."

Salhajin is a Tengges sect and is not tolerant of primitive sects. Many of the primitive sect members at that time were massacred.

"We must open the door and let the light of God Sa enter the pass." Gulthas continued to persuade.

This is another reason why he is not in a hurry to make Yang Yan the son of Sa Shen.The Souma sect does not recognize the existence of the Sons of Sa, which reminds them of the reign of Sarhajin.Of course, the reappearance of the son of God Sa can also shake their faith, but it is definitely not a good thing for Alex.

Yang Yan is used to deal with Atulie and the other two Badu when necessary. As for Suma, political exchange will be easier.

"Even if Gulthas allows it, Dako will not allow it." Alex said, "As long as Atulie is willing to accept the integration, and if it does not embarrass us, Sumabadu is willing to accept the unity."

This is a conditional promise, but it also transforms Souma's problem into Atuli's problem.

Nureddin finally found an opportunity and took the opportunity to say: "I am also worried about Dak's attitude. You saw how she humiliated me! She is more vicious than the most venomous snake and harder to tame than the fiercest mare. Ge Tata cannot coexist with Atulie!”

Alex said: "Unity cannot be just four parts. If we want to enter the border to preach the doctrine, Atulie is a knife. It will either be inserted into the enemy's chest or into our vest. God knows what crazy things they will do."

Chaci Wu'er also said: "Even if Dako dies, the next Sasi will be a lunatic. Almost every Sasi they have is a lunatic. Not to mention they have to deal with their three-day war. They are hostile to other Batu, even if If our four families unite, they will still hunt down all the believers who go to the Holy Mountain, and war is inevitable."

Obviously, they hope to use Nabu Batu's hand to eliminate the threat of Atulie Batu, or both sides will suffer losses.Gulthas was a little disappointed. It seemed that the shock effect of killing only three heads was not enough. If all nine heads were dead, Alex and Nurdin would definitely be even more frightened.

What does an ancient Guan Nei proverb say?Man proposes, God disposes?

He believed that this was God Sa's arrangement.

"As long as we can convince Dako," Alex said, "We are all willing to unite and fill the roads of the Holy Mountain with believers, and let the pass be illuminated by God Sa."

"I understand." Gulthas replied: "Let the meeting end here and I will deal with Dako."

On the way back to Nabu Batu, Gulthas was deep in thought.

War... this was the last way he wanted to use it.Even if Atulie Batu is eliminated, Nabu will be severely weakened, which will be of no benefit to entering the customs.If Yang Yan could be made the son of Sa Shen... No, in Yang Yan's current situation, if he walked up to Da Ke, Da Ke would cut off his head directly, or even urinate on his head, laughing at him and saying, "This is not the case." Are you worthy of being the son of God Sa?"

It is not good to be blasphemous. This kind of insult is enough to cause outright war and will drive the warriors of Atulie to become even more violent.

But if the stubborn Atulie is not eliminated, even if the holy mountain is opened, Atulie will not allow others to insult the holy mountain.

He looked out the window, the holy mountain still stood, and the holy face of Sri Yanabhata was still preserved in the holy city, right?
If we really want to start a war, then let’s start a war!If it goes well, he will support Tucker to become the next Ha Jin.As for who will lead, it is not the point at all. He has Yang Yan in his hands, so it is reasonable and reasonable to let the son of Sa God lead the five great badu, and Gulthas lead the son of Sa God.

Therefore, it is very important to make Yang Yan surrender. He must completely master the son of the Sa God.

The cavalry and sedans drove into Nabu Batu, but the road was not as smooth as before.Gulthas noticed that the Luan sedan was slowing down and seemed to be hindered.

"What are you doing!" the groom shouted loudly.Gulthas opened the sedan curtain and looked around. The whole road was full of people, and many people blocked the street.

"This is Sasi's sedan, don't get out of the way!" The groom waved his whip.But it's not that this group of people refused to get out of the way, it's that the streets were too crowded, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't make room for a while.

What happened?Gulthas heard noises and even cheers, as if someone was shouting Sarhajin's name.

That seems to be the direction of Arien's palace. Why are there so many people there?

An official in rich uniform led eight soldiers and quickly stopped in front of the carriage. The noise made Gulthas in the carriage unable to hear what he was saying.The official greeted the coachman, came to the carriage window, put his left hand on his chest and saluted, saying respectfully: "Dear Gulthas, Arien respectfully invites you to go to the palace."

Gulthas told the coachman: "Go to the palace of Arien."

The coachman drove the carriage to the Arien Palace. As he went further, the crowd became more and more turbulent, but he was Sasi after all. No matter how crowded the crowd was, they would try their best to open a road for the Luan sedan to pass.

People on both sides of the road knelt down and touched their hearts with their left hands in front of the car. Gulthas even saw many people with tears in their eyes or crying on the ground.

Uneasiness rose in him.

As he approached the palace of Arien, he heard someone shouting: "Gulthas is coming! Gurthas is coming!"

The palace guards cleared the road, allowing the carriages to pass unimpeded.Gulthas couldn't see clearly what was happening in the square in front of the palace.He opened the car door and Gao Leqi was waiting beside the car to fetch him the steps.A golden woven blanket with red edges was spread under his feet. It was a trade item with the barbarians and could only be used for sacrifices. Only the relatives of Sasi and Arien were qualified to walk on this carpet.

Tucker was in the square at the end. He was standing on the newly built altar, with a person standing behind him. His figure was vaguely familiar.Gulthas was old, and although he had the sight that his peers could boast, he was no longer young. He walked forward, trying to see clearly who was behind Tucker.

He is still the Gulthas who is revered by thousands of people. When he walked across the golden carpet, the people on both sides touched their hearts with their left hands and bent down to pay respect.The original noise in the square gradually quieted down, and finally fell silent.

Everyone looked at Gulthas, but Gul's eyes were fixed on the altar.He finally saw the man, a pair of striking red eyes.

Yang Yan?

Tucker looked at Gulthas and knelt down on one knee facing the end of the red carpet, as if to welcome Gulthas.

"Welcome Gulthas!" Tucker touched his heart with his left hand.

"Praise Gulthas, praise Gulthas. It is his wisdom that has found hope for us to enter the border!"

Gulthas's green eyes suddenly widened, his steps slowed down, and finally stopped.

"The son of God Sa is hope!" Tak Yarian continued.

"It's the future Ha Jin!"

"Yang Yan Ha Jin!"

Did Yang Yan find Tucker, or did Tucker find Yang Yan?Gulthas instantly understood that he had fallen into a trap, and he was welcoming Yang Yan in full view of everyone.

Before he could turn his head, Yang Yan quickly walked up to the middle of the golden carpet, knelt on one knee, touched his heart with his left hand, and bent down to salute: "Thank you Gulthas for saving me from blindness. I will follow the instructions The wisdom of Sasi, under the guidance of Father God, led Nabu to unify the five major Badu, eliminate the nine major families, and grant wisdom to all living beings."

Gultha's face was livid, and when he was about to explain, Gao Leqi said loudly: "God Sa is above! Praise Gultha, thank Gultha!"

Suddenly there was a huge crowd, thunderous cheers, and the huge sound of tens of thousands of people echoed around, covering up Gulthas's voice.

Yang Yan grabbed Gursasi's withered left hand and kissed it gently.The cheers were even louder, and Gulthas even saw people crying.

After more than 100 years, the son of Sa God they expected in their teachings has finally returned.

Unable to let his people bear the huge disappointment, Gulthas pulled Yang Yan away.Yang Yan hugged Gulthas tightly, looking like a child hugging his loving grandfather.

"I know what's behind those two doors."

"What?" The crowd's voice was too loud. Even if Yang Yan spoke in his ear, Gulthas still couldn't hear clearly.

"Strength comes from faith. The room on the left is your prayer room, and inside is the statue of God Sa. Wisdom comes from the true God. The room on the right contains the original handwritten copies of the "Savata Sutra" and "Tengas Sutra", which are the prophets' transmission of Sa. God’s wisdom.”

Gulthas finally heard it clearly, and a smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.To outsiders, they would think it was a happy smile.

"I misjudged you." Gurthas said, "I have to spend the rest of my life making up for this mistake."
