Chapter 111 Action (Part 1)

This scepter is slightly different from the high priest's scepter. The top of the high priest's scepter is a full moon. The top of this scepter is a crescent moon. It originally belonged to the priest of Chakchel. With the death of Chakchel, the priests of Chakchel were naturally scattered. The lower-level priests could change the court, while the higher-level priests were secretly executed. The scepter fell into the hands of the high priest.

The high priest clapped his hands, and a temple warrior walked in.

The attire of the temple warriors has also been transformed into the Central Plains, which is quite similar to that of the spiritual officers, but it is mainly silver, with a layer of robes painted with the holy emblem of the moon on the outside.

"Your Highnesses." The temple warrior saluted the high priest and Unuratu.

The high priest said: "Captain Hu En, you are responsible for leading the temple warriors, assisting His Highness Unuratu, and obeying His Royal Highness Unuratu's orders."

"Yes." The leader of the temple warriors accepted the order loudly. He came from the Huen family, named Huen Yuechu, and was a junior of Huen Ahan. Although the Huen brothers were not from noble families, there were not many poor people in their family. relative? Big families all come from small families, so of course Hu En Ahan has to support the younger generations. Relying on Hu En's face, Hu En became a middle-level employee of the Moon Temple at the beginning of the month.

Hu Enchu's original name was not this, but in order to respond to the transformation of the Central Plains and to please the Moon God, he specially asked a Taoist priest from the Xidaomen to tell his fortune and changed his name to this name.

Unurathu nodded slightly: "Then let's go."

The high priest stood there and watched the two people leave.

Arriving outside the temple, the temple warriors had gathered in the square in front of the temple. They were all wearing silver armor, just like a variant of the spirit officer. It can be seen that these people are carefully selected, with moonlight and divine power surging in them, and they are not weak in strength.

Unuratu came to the platform above the square. This platform is located in the middle of the pyramid, lower than the highest temple. This was originally a place for public sacrifices. In the past, the priests of Chakchel killed the sacrifices here. The corpse is then thrown from the platform into the square, where the believers below eat the corpse.

Now this platform has become an excellent place for speeches. Everyone in the square can see Unuratu standing on the platform. She put on a silver priest mask in advance and held a crescent scepter. , sacred and majestic.

Gold symbolizes the sun and silver symbolizes the moon, so the masks of the Moon Priests are made of silver rather than the more expensive gold.

The temple warriors looked up to Unuratu, waiting for her orders.

"Honoring the oracle of the Queen of the Moon, we, as the blades of the moon, will punish sinners who violate the Queen's will." Unuratu's voice spread throughout the square.

The temple warriors became excited, even a little fanatical. They pulled out their sharp blades, pointed to the sky, and said in unison: "Feel it well. As the blades of the moon, we are invincible."

Unuratu waved his hand and hit the scepter: "Let's go."

According to Qi Xuansu's wishes, this time the Moon Temple will be the main one, and the Nanya Forbidden Army will cooperate. It is Huangfu Xi who is now in charge of the Nanya Forbidden Army.

Soon, Unu Ratu saw Huangfu Xi in military uniform.

Who would have thought that they would become allies in the same camp.

Huangfu Xi lifted the gold mask on his face - although the belief in the Sun God was abolished, the royal family still admires gold for so many years of tradition, so many gold products cannot be left alone, and Huangfu Xi is from Xidaomen, so he doesn't care These.

"Mother, we meet again." Huangfu Xi smiled and still used the previous title.

A stepmother is also a mother.

Unuratu was not picked and now Kukulkan no longer exists and the Sun Temple has been abolished. Where is he now? "

Huangfu Xi replied: "My father has a heart for Taoism, and Xidaomen agreed that he should devote himself to cultivating Taoism in a Taoist temple."

Unuratu nodded: "So that's it."

Huangfu Xi said: "Father has been a little depressed recently. If mother is free, you can go see him, just..."

"No need." Unuratu interrupted Huangfu Xi, "I am now the Priestess of the Moon. I have to concentrate on serving the Queen of the Moon, but I still disappeared."

"That's fine." Huangfu Xi took a deep look at Unuratu and closed the golden mask.

Under the command of the two men, the temple warriors and the Nanya Forbidden Army gathered together and headed towards the noble area.

Qi Xuansu once said that there is a great overlap between the remnants of Kukulkan's followers and those who secretly perform blood sacrifices. Some people are the remnants of Kukulkan and are also secretly performing blood sacrifices. According to the plan proposed by Tantai Ying, These people are also classified into the category of blood sacrifice people, and are handled by the Moon Temple and the Nanya Forbidden Army.

Among the remnants of the followers of the sun god Kukulkan, there are many members of the royal family. They firmly believe that the sacrifice can bring Kukulkan back. It cannot be wrong. Kukulkan has now entered the third level of death, and indeed there are extremely important things. There is a slight chance of resurrection, but if you want to revive Kukulkan through blood sacrifice, you will probably have to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. This sneaky method has no chance of success.

Since you don't listen to what you say, it can't be said that you are punished without teaching.

Nobles have large families and can build private temples at home, just like Western nobles can build chapels in their castles. Under normal circumstances, they cannot directly break into the homes of nobles to search because nobles have special privileges.

Therefore, the Moon Temple's task is to collect evidence, lock the target, confirm the list, and then focus on processing.

The biggest target on the list this time is a member of the royal family. According to the standards of the Central Plains, he should be considered a prince. He is Manu Dancha's uncle, named Manulak, and has the status of a prime minister. The tree is big and the roots are deep.

However, when the opinions of the upper class are unanimous, this prime minister is just a slightly stronger sapling, nothing big.

Manulak was a little uneasy tonight. He came to the courtyard and looked up. He could only see a bright moon hanging high. I don’t know if it was an illusion. The moon tonight is particularly large and bright.

The moonlight fell, and the whole world seemed to be silvery white.

Manulak hated the moonlight. When Unuratu was in power, he strongly opposed the full moon belief, so he chose to stand on the side of Princess Mashi, that is, Huangfuxi, to fight against Unuratu, intending to revive the glory of the sun.

But he never expected that the situation would change suddenly. The sun god Kukulkan actually fell, and the moon god Ishichel became the main god. He immediately banned all beliefs related to the sun and erased all traces of the sun, including but not limited to texts, murals, sculptures, buildings, statues, etc.

Manulak had to place his hopes on Princess Mashi, but Huangfu Xi's transformation was more decisive. She did not declare her belief in the moon god, but directly worshipped Taoism. Under the matchmaking of Huangfu Zhao, Huangfu Xi was granted the same second-grade Taoist origin by the Taoist sect. In a blink of an eye, she was nominally at the same level as Qi Xuansu, so Qi Xuansu called her Huangfu Daoyou during the meeting.

Huangfu Xi thought very clearly that Ishichel also wanted to get closer to Taoism, and would generally be granted the same-grade Taoist origin. Instead of believing in Ishichel in name, she might as well get closer to Taoism directly.

For Taoism, the same Taoist origin is just a status treatment plus honor, and there is no real power, so it is not so strict to grant, which cannot be compared with the Taoist identity of people from the Western Taoist sect. However, because Tan Taiying contributed a lot in the whole process, Qi Xuansu also came forward to ask for credit, and was canonized as a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest by the Taoist sect. ..

Tan Taiying was also a real person in the past, but this real person was an internal food ticket of the Western Taoist sect. The Western Taoist sect recognized it, but the Taoist sect did not. Only the real person status of a few people such as Huangfu Ji was recognized by the Taoist sect, and they were given the treatment of the real person. Now Tan Taiying's real person status has also been officially recognized by the Taoist sect, but it is one level lower than Huangfu Ji, and she does not have the treatment of the real person. So Qi Xuansu directly called her Tan Tai Zhenren during the formal meeting.

Of course, Qi Xuansu's recommendation and request for credit is only part of the reason. The more important reason is to give face to Tan Tai Da Zhenren, and there must be someone above.

Huangfu Xi would naturally not protect the followers of Kukulkan. Manulak was devout in his faith and was unwilling to abandon the sun, but he also understood the general trend, so he did not oppose it openly. On the surface, he seemed to be on the side of the Moon God and the West Dao Gate, but in fact he was still secretly offering sacrifices to the Sun God.

Manulak retracted his gaze and said bitterly: "The light of the sun will sooner or later be full of the world again."

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside, and another group of soldiers climbed over the wall, holding muskets and shooting wantonly.

Although there were many guards here, facing the sophisticated muskets from the Dao Gate, they still fell in groups like autumn wind sweeping leaves.

"It's the Nan Ya Imperial Guards!" Manulak's face changed drastically.

These imperial guards did not have much power to fight back when facing the West Dao Gate Lingguan, but when facing ordinary private armed forces, it was a dimensionality reduction attack from a higher dimension, especially the muskets in their hands, which could not resist the heavy artillery of the flying boat, but were more than enough to deal with cold weapons.

Even though these private guards were equipped with some firearms, most of them were hand guns. No matter the range or power, they could not be compared with the long guns. They could only fight back sporadically and were completely suppressed.

On the front, the temple warriors had already launched a strong attack. At this time, they were personally blessed by Unuratu, and their strength was even higher. Although they were not equipped with firearms, the armor on their bodies was very strong. After forming a human wall, they were like a copper wall and iron wall. They pushed forward layer by layer, and ordinary guards could not stop them at all.

Soon, the temple warriors and the Nan Ya Imperial Guards cleared all the resistance forces, guarded the important positions of the mansion, and cleared a road. Unuratu and Huangfu Xi walked into the mansion stepping on the blood. Two Moon God Warriors took Manulak to the two and pressed him to his knees.

Manulak was once very powerful, but after Kukulkan's death, he lost most of his strength, which was one of the reasons that drove him to continue the blood sacrifice.

Huangfu Xi looked down at Manulak: "You disappoint me so much."

Although the voice was distorted due to the mask, Manulak still recognized Huangfu Xi's voice and raised his head suddenly: "It's you, Mashi!"

Huangfu Xi said: "Not only me, but also Her Majesty the Queen. By the way, she is now a priest of the Moon God."

Manulak said angrily: "You actually stood with her."

Huangfu Xi said: "This is the will of the two Taoist sects. Since you defy the will of the Taoist sect, then only death awaits you. Take him away."

The two Moon God warriors glanced at Unuratu.

Unuratu, who had been silent, nodded slightly.

The two dragged Manulak, an important official of the empire, down and detained him temporarily, waiting for a public trial with others.

Until then, Unuratu ordered: "Destroy all the altars and statues here."

"Yes." The surrounding temple warriors took the order one after another.
