"Foreigner? It doesn't matter, I am a foreigner." Dad said. "You don't dress like a beggar just for fun, do you? Tell me, which country are you from?"

"I...I'm from Parthia." Zhang Bai replied hesitantly.

"Parthia? OK! I am a Parthian. I was born in Babylonia. When I grew up, I went to Ctesiphon. Then the war came, and I came to Peshawar until now. Where were you born? "

"Oh no...! I think you misunderstood. I said I'm from Parthia, but I'm not a Parthian. I'm from the Han Dynasty in the far east." Zhang Bai couldn't hide it, so he simply said it.

Sawtel opened his eyes wide, as if seeing Zhang Bai for the first time, and looked at him again from head to toe.Then he touched his beard, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "It is said that the emperor's new god came from the east, and he also brought those sneaky people. This is good, you are even more suspicious."

Zhang Bai was not nervous, however, and chuckled, "Stop scaring people, you are such an interesting dad! You don't actually doubt me at all, do you? I'm a little curious, why?"

Father Sauter smiled: "I like you very much, let me tell you frankly!" He picked up an unburned firewood with his right hand, fiddled with the fire, and replied: "Because of your white robe? Okay, You don’t need to hide it, I’ve already seen it, this is the costume of Sa Bao, a high-ranking member of the Zoroastrian Cult, and you are a member of the Zoroastrian Cult.”

Zhang Bai himself is the leader of the Fire Worship Cult, so of course he knows what a Zoroastrian Treasure is. This is the highest stage of cultivation for a Zoroastrian Cult monk.The cultivation level of Zoroastrian Cult is from low to high, divided into Fu Shi, Shu Zheng Fu, Zhu Zhu, Zou Zheng, and finally Sa Bao, whose realm is roughly equivalent to the realm of Transformation and above.

He himself did not practice the techniques and techniques of the Zoroastrian Cult. After all, he already had too many different techniques in his eight extraordinary meridians. He wore a white robe purely to conceal his aura.

But the old man could tell at a glance that he was also a member of the Zoroastrian Cult.His thoughts changed quickly and he thought he might as well take a gamble.

"Dad is really discerning, so you are also a Zoroastrian?"

Sawtell did not answer, he threw the firewood in his hand into the fire, then touched the back of his right hand with the palm of his left hand, bent the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and turned his palm towards Zhang Bai.

This gesture was familiar to Bai Bai. In Ctesiphon, the pasha had taught him many basic knowledge of the religion. This gesture was the secret communication code of Zoroastrianism.Zhang Bai immediately returned the salute. His gestures were different, with his right hand touching the back of his left hand, his palm forward, and the five fingers of his left hand bent together into a fist.

The god on the Zoroastrian emblem is half human and half bird. Zoroastrianism worships the god of fire. The priest who protects the fire altar is half human and half bird. Their gestures are the image of a mocking bird. One hand on the back represents the bird's wings. The fingers on one hand are shaped like a bird's beak.

However, the gestures of the two people were slightly different and the meanings they expressed were also different. Father Sauter curled two fingers to show that he was the leader of the grassroots branch of the church.Zhang Bai's right hand touching the back of his left hand represents holding a position in the General Forum, and five fingers bent represents holding a core position in the General Forum.

Moreover, the people who serve in the core positions of the general altar represent different positions according to the different shapes of their fingers, whether they are in the shape of a bird pecking, or in the shape of a bird's claw, or in the shape of a bird's song, etc.

However, there is only one person who can turn a beak into a fist, and that is the leader Ahurama.

When Sawtelle saw Zhang Bai's gesture, he was so frightened that he almost didn't know what to do.Regarding the situation here, a few of them who were close and sharp-eyed saw that something was wrong.One of them, who was particularly familiar with gestures, even shouted out: "Ah... Ahurama!"

This sentence frightened everyone.Father Sauter was the first to react. He formed his hands into the shape of fire and knelt down to Zhang Bai.

"Father Sauter! What are you doing? How can this child be Ahurama? He must be an impostor." Bald Zabad jumped up. "He must understand the etiquette in the religion and come to us. The little spy who came to investigate was discovered by us and is just pretending here."

"Yes, Dad, don't make a mistake!" Gu Fei also said.

"Dad, let's do some questioning first!" The beggars were a little flustered. Some tried to dissuade Sawtelle, while others didn't know what happened and asked around.

Zhang Bai looked at the noise around him without making a sound, then turned to look at Father Sauter.

"Listen carefully, the Zoroastrian religion stipulates that you must kneel down and worship when you see Ahurama. Now, regardless of whether Ahurama's real body is present or not, seeing his avatar is like seeing Ahurama himself. You must kneel down, and you must also Together with me, there must be no mistakes.”

Everyone had no choice but to follow what Father Sawtelle said.So they came to see the ceremony one after another. Zabad and Gu Fei also knelt down and worshiped. However, their bodies were shaking with anger and their faces clearly showed dissatisfaction.

Zhang Bai was not in a hurry, and after they all bowed, he praised him: "Dad Sauter, you are indeed a wise old man. What you do is in line with our pious and peaceful teachings, and I appreciate it very much. "

Without waiting for Sawtel to reply, he faced Zabad and Gufei and said: "You two are ignorant and can't identify me. It doesn't matter. All of you have doubts in your hearts. This is because, the emperor's new god A spy has been sent to ask you to question the suspicious. But it doesn't matter. I can show you miracles to prove the authenticity of my identity. Please watch carefully."

As he spoke, Zhang Bai stood up, took off the coat he was pretending to be a beggar, and revealed the white robe on his body. He folded the hem and shortened it with needlework. It barely fit him, but the color of the white robe remained the same. Among the beggars, he looked particularly holy.

Then he stretched out his right hand, revealing tree trunk-like skin, and someone underneath let out a low cry of surprise.A red light flashed, and a red object flew out from Zhang Bai's leg, which was caught in his hand.

It was the priest's robe. Zhang Bai unfolded the priest's robe and put it on his body.Many congregants knew about this robe, and suddenly, the room was full of people kneeling in worship.

"I once used this robe to try on a person who did not want to recognize my identity as Ahurama. He doubted the authenticity of this robe, so the robe gave him a severe punishment, but in the end he obeyed. , and become an important member of the cult." He was talking about the pasha, and he was just saying this to scare him so that there would be less trouble.

But Zabad still didn't want to believe it. After he saluted, he stood up immediately and was standing with his waist bent, staring at Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai looked helplessly at Zabad, then at Father Sauter, and asked warmly: "Do you know the magic power of the robe? If it weren't for Ahurama, the person wearing this red robe would be killed. Imprisoned by the red robe, if Ahurama does not stop him, his muscles and bones will be broken and he will die."

Father Sawtelle replied: "Of course I know, I will persuade Zabad."

However, Zabad expressed disbelief on the spot and was willing to give it a try.Zhang Bai was helpless and just shook his head and said: "You asked for this."
