Pawn Crossing the River

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 loudly accepted the order. 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, few of them were poor. 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.

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 it.

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 rely on blood sacrifice to resurrect Kukulkan, you will probably have to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. This sneaky method has absolutely 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 clan member. By the standards of the Central Plains, he should be regarded as a prince. He is the uncle of Manudancha. His name is Manulak. He has the status of a minister of the Prime Minister and a great tree root. deep.

But when the upper-level officials reached a consensus, the prime minister was just a slightly thicker sapling, no big deal.

Manulak was a little uneasy tonight. When he came to the courtyard and looked up, he could only see a bright moon hanging high in the sky. I wonder if he had an illusion. The moon tonight was particularly big and bright.

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

Manulak hated the moonlight. When Unuratu was in power, he was strongly opposed to the full moon belief, so he chose to side with Princess Mahi, that is, Huangfu Xi, to fight against Unuratu, with the intention of re-establishing the faith. The glory of the sun.

But I never expected that the situation suddenly changed, and the sun god Kukulkan actually fell. The moon god Ixichel became the main god, and immediately banned all sun-related beliefs and erased all traces of the sun, including but not limited to texts, murals, Sculptures, architecture, idols and more.

Manulak had to place his hope in Princess Mahi, but Huangfu Xi's change was even more decisive. She did not declare her belief in the Moon God. She directly embraced Taoism. With Huangfu Zhao's help, Huangfu Xi was awarded the Taoist title by the Taoist sect. She was born as a second-grade Taoist priest, and in a blink of an eye she was on the same level as Qi Xuansu, so Qi Xuansu called her "Fellow Taoist Huangfu" when discussing matters.

Huangfu Xi thought very clearly that Ixichel also wanted to move closer to the Taoist sect, and would usually be awarded the same Taoist priest status. Instead of nominally believing in Ixichel, it would be better for her to move closer to the Taoist sect directly.

For the Taoist sect, being born with a Taoist priest is just a kind of status and honor plus no real power, so the award is not so strict. This cannot be compared with the status of a Taoist priest for people from the Xidao sect. However, because Tantai Ying contributed a lot in the whole process, Qi Xuansu came forward to ask for credit, and was canonized as a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest by the Taoist sect. ..

Tantai Ying used to be a real person, but this real person was Xidaomen's internal food stamp. Xidaomen himself admitted it, but Daomen did not. Only a handful of people, including Huangfu, were recognized as real people by the Taoist sect and were treated as real people. Now Tantai Ying's identity as a real person has been officially recognized by the Taoist sect, but he is one level lower than Huangfu and has no knowledge of the real person's treatment. So Qi Xuansu directly called her Tantai Zhenren during formal discussions.

Of course, Qi Xuansu's recommendation and request for credit was only part of the reason. The more important reason was to give face to Master Tantai, and there still had to be someone above him.

Naturally, Huangfu Xi would not protect the followers of Kukulkan. Manulak had a devout faith and was unwilling to abandon the sun, but he also understood the general trend, so he did not openly oppose it. On the surface, it seemed that he was on the side of the moon god anyway. , standing on the side of Xidaomen, actually still secretly offering sacrifices to the Sun God.

Manulak looked away and said bitterly: "Sooner or later, the brilliance of the sun will shine on the world again."

At this moment, there were sudden shouts of killing outside, and another group of soldiers climbed over the wall and entered, holding firecrackers and shooting wantonly.

Although there are many guards here, facing the sophisticated fire guns from the Taoist sect, they still fall like leaves swept by the autumn wind.

"It's the Nanya Forbidden Army!" Manulak's expression changed drastically.

These forbidden troops did not have much power to fight back against the Xidao Sect Spiritual Officers, but against ordinary private armed forces, it was a dimensionality-reducing strike from a higher dimension, especially the firecrackers in their hands, which could not resist Feizhou's heavy artillery. Cold weapons are more than enough.

Even though these personal guards were equipped with some fire guns, most of them were hand guns. No matter the range or power, they could not compare with the long guns. They could only counterattack sporadicly and were completely suppressed.

On the front, the temple warriors have launched a strong attack. At this time, they were personally blessed by Unuratu, and their strength has reached a higher level. Although they are not equipped with firearms, the armor on their bodies is very strong. After forming a human wall, it is like a copper wall and an iron wall. They advanced layer by layer, and ordinary guards couldn't stop them at all.

Soon, the temple warriors and the Nanya Forbidden Army eliminated all resistance forces, guarded various important locations in the mansion, and cleared a road. Unulatu and Huangfu Xi walked into the mansion through bloody water. Two moon warriors escorted Manulak to the two men and pushed him to his knees.

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

Huangfu Xi looked at Manulak condescendingly: "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, Mahi!"

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

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

Huangfu Xi said: "This is the will of the two Taoist sects. Since you defy the will of the Taoist sects, the only thing waiting for you is death. Take it away."

The two Luna warriors glanced at Unuratu.

Unuratu, who had been silent, nodded slightly.

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

It was only then that Unuratu ordered: "Destroy all the altars and statues here."

"Yes." The surrounding temple warriors took orders one after another.
