Chapter 194: Fu Lou Sha (3)
The myrrh-led fragrance of forgetting worries is really amazing.
For the next two days and nights, the wheat field deer and I were tireless, and we didn't feel the slightest sleep.
Throughout the night, the Guishan woman kept dancing and laughing.
Until the bonfire was extinguished, the full moon was quietly setting in the west, all the guys had gone to sleep, and the two of us were still drinking and talking to the flowing water of the long river.
If you know that this is the last bloom of the Tianlu girl before the oil runs out, it will be like a meteor passing away in the nine heavens.
I'd rather bite off my tongue and cut off my arms than let her accompany me to taste the fragrance of "forgetting worries".
Myrrh, the bitter tears of the princess of the East, like the poisonous spell set by the pharaoh of Egypt, were so sadly fulfilled on the body of the wheat field deer.
According to the original plan, the caravan would leave the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom in early June of the summer calendar at the latest.
In this way, we can rush to Chang'an before the end of the year, and arrive in Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the late spring of April in Jiangnan next year.
Due to the delay along the way, there is not much time left for us to do business in Fu Lou Sha.
So after a night's rest, Uncle Su and I made specific arrangements for the next matters early the next morning.
Dol set out for the Buddha on the same day, and went to the royal city of Shewei in the kingdom of Kavira and Saro, and was escorted by three people: Shamihan, Nimi, and Rongmu.
They turned back from the Acropolis, and without turning back to Fulousha, they went straight to the Daliluo River in the Buddha Kingdom of Toli, where they met up with the caravan and then sailed north to the Green Mountains.
Uncle Su said that the Balenfu Temple and the Fearless Mountain Temple, one is in the hinterland of Tianzhu Kingdom, and the other is in Sinhala in the south, facing the Tianzhu Continent across the sea.
It is far away from the birthplace of the Buddha, the kingdom of Kavero, one south and one north, so you can only save it for the next visit.
And the Qili Buddha in the city in front of me and the Wheel King Temple, which enshrines the Buddha's food bowl holy relics, it will take at least one day to visit the whole worship, and Duo'er can only entrust me to go and give alms on my behalf.
"What are the plans of the young master for the goods that come back this time?"
The matter of Duo'er worshipping the Buddha was properly arranged, and Uncle Su picked up the green tea and whisked his beard and asked me.
This Tianzhu countries have always been refreshed with a hundred spices, and there is no wind of drinking tea.
Therefore, every time the caravan came to Tianzhu, Uncle Su and they would bring some for their own drinks on the way.
"Uncle Su, I want to change the rules in the team, hehe. After all the hard work to come to this Tianzhu Buddha country, I don't do the ready-made spice business, which is really a pity in my nephew's opinion! ”
The caravan has not been to the Jiangnan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for several years, but I didn't expect this old man to have such a treasure around him, so I quickly asked Duo'er to fetch the copper cup and asked him for a cup.
"Young master, the old man has long had this intention. But when the old man was alive, he had a will, and he did not compete with the Buddha for profit, and my descendants must not disobey it! ”
Uncle Su poured green tea into the cup he gave me and sighed slightly.
"Buddhism is flourishing in the northern and southern countries of the Han Dynasty in the East today, and both the government and the opposition have a heart of goodness. The spices of Tianzhu were transported to Chang'an and Luoyang, and they were mostly used to serve the Buddha, which was not contrary to my grandfather's will, and could also earn more water. Such a huge business opportunity, we can't miss it! ”
"The young master is really smart! As you say, we will never have to worry about this spice trade again! In the future, when I meet the master in the underworld, I will be able to have a clear conscience, hehe! ”
My remarks finally unraveled the knots in Uncle Su's heart.
"Young master, Miss Do'er! The old man came to test the two of you, what are the uses of this spice in addition to being used as Buddha incense? ”
"Han Daoist alchemy practice, these Tianzhu strange fragrances that help to refresh the mind may be an indispensable formula."
I blurted out that the Qingqiao Mountain people on Zhongnan Mountain and his elixir "Wushi San" were as if they were in front of me.
"In the Canaan Desert of the Roman kingdom, the slaughtered cattle and sheep would rot the next day if they were not treated. During our time in the Golan Mountains, Brother Langton and I met the natives of the Golan with an ancient method of embalming, and the materials used were made from these spices. ”
Doll said that she was ready to go.
"Duo'er is right, Roman merchants often come to our East to do business, often only for two items, one is the silk of our Great Han Kingdom, and the other is for those spices in the Jiandra market!"
As I can testify, during my years in Canaan, I also learned a lot about the folk habits of the Roman kingdom.
The country's people, both men and women, have thick body hair and a peculiar smell, so they bathe in the Suxi spring pool and make secret perfumes.
The Roman people fed on beef, mutton and horse meat all year round, and needed spices to prevent corrosion.
In addition, in order to ascend to heaven and reincarnate after death, since the pharaoh of Canaan Egypt, there has been a tradition of collecting the world's strange incense to protect the immortality of the body for thousands of years.
These three grotesque folk customs are inseparable from spices.
"Yes, now the area north of Huaishui and Huangshui in your Eastern Han Kingdom is already the world of the Hu people in the north! These Hu people are not good at farming, and they are nomadic and feed on minced meat. And the land of Huaihuang is scorching hot every summer, very similar to the Canaan kingdom you mentioned, and they only use the method of salt salting for the time being. Therefore, this spice trade in your Han homeland has an unlimited future! ”
After listening to the words of our brother and sister, Uncle Su stood up with relief.
In business, such a dismantling does not need Uncle Su to explain that I know that transporting the spices of Tianzhu to the Eastern Han Land is a big deal.
"Big brother, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself, forget your worries, and if you can endure the poison cup, you can't endure it and fall deeper and deeper. From yesterday afternoon to now, you and Sister Tianlu have been crazy, and there will be no good results if you continue like this! ”
As the separation was imminent, Duo'er tidied up my clothes and instructed me with concern.
"Little sister is too worried, big brother, I have my own measure! Forgetting worries incense is not a medicine for ten evils, and refreshing and analgesic is comparable to ordinary herbs. The poisoned cup of the Anandu priest was deeper than mine, but he had already lived past the age of ear shun, which shows that it also has the effect of prolonging life. Back then, Emperor Shennong Yan tasted all the herbs, and only then did he have the five grains and mulberry that fed the people in the world! Nowadays, the wars and chaos of the countries are continuous, and countless wounded people have been injured in the swords, and if the medicinal effect of forgetting the pain and healing of vanilla is promoted, it may save millions of wounded soldiers in fire and water. As a brother, I am trying the grass by myself, in order to seek the blessing of all people! Hahaha! ”
I personally helped my little sister to get on the horse, sprinkled a lot of words, and said that I was reborn as Shennong in the world.
"Yes, all the herbs in the world are given by God, whether it is to save the world or punish the world, you can't know if you haven't experienced it! Miss Duo'er, you can go with confidence, I will be optimistic about the young master! Hehe! ”
Uncle Su laughed on the horse.
"Shamihan, Nimi, you two have to take care of Miss along the way! Brother Rongmu, you are most familiar with the mountain road in North Tianzhu, don't delay on the way, ten days later, the old man in the Tuli River Valley will wash the dust for you! ”
"Uncle Su rest assured! Your two genera
Xia Duoer will take care of all the way! Sister Tianlu! Let's go too! ”
Dolle turned his horse's head and saluted us, and the two teams parted in laughter.
No one thought that our brother and sister's farewell on the shore of the long river outside Fulousha would be ten years.
And when they meet again, it is far from the fact that the Qingfeng Ze homeland of Khotan has long since changed its appearance.
The impermanence between heaven and earth is really beyond the control of human beings!
"Miss Do'er doesn't let her eyebrows go, but it's a pity that it's a girl's family, hehe!"
Looking at the back of Duo'er and their horses riding away, Uncle Su sighed.
"My little sister is as good as her grandfather, far better than me! Shame, shame! ”
Duo'er didn't feel anything when she was walking around all day, and now she feels reluctant to leave me.
"The young master is too modest, your brothers and sisters have their own strengths, if you talk about unusual law and vision, Miss can't compare to you, hehe."
Qin Chong and the others commanded the caravan to follow closely behind, and entered the inner city of Fulousha through the east gate.
Today, the old customer of the first transaction of my caravan is the Saran family, which is famous in the Tianzhu countries,
The family's long-established shop is located at the northern end of the Kassergada Temple Square and has been carving Buddha statues for generations.
This is very similar to the "Chang'an Fang" in Khotan, which was handed down by my Murong Qiu's great-grandfather.
It is said that the ancestor of the family was one of the bhikshu guards in front of the temple of Shakyamuni Buddha.
After the Buddha Nirvana, the ancestors of Saran, who were good at carving, erected the first stone statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in the country of Kaviro for future generations to admire and worship, and since then it has been out of control.
The prototypes of the Buddha statues offered by the Buddhas in the world today, whether they are stone carvings, jade carvings, wood carvings or clay sculptures, were originally made by the Saran family.
Over time, all the countries of Tianzhu have known that the statue of the Buddha with its own aura without opening the light is ten ** from the Fulousha of the Jiantuo Buddha country, from the disciples of the Salan family.
Since then, Fulou Shawang City has added another worldly livelihood, and the place where the world's Buddha statues are carved.
Standing with the incense market of Jiandra, it has become the two pillar industries of this Kushan royal city.
It also led to another transaction that flourished due to the prosperity of the Buddha industry, and that was the market for consumables for shaping seated statues of Buddhas.
The wool jade of the northern and western regions, the glaze of the Roman and Persian countries in the west, and the sea pearl coral of the southern resting countries are all the top products in the consumables.
The glazed floating temple carved out of this, the sitting statue of the Buddha is crystal clear and flashing, and it is the must-offer of the royal family Buddha hall and the wealthy family temple.
Therefore, in the years when the Kushan Kingdom was not yet in decline, every time my caravan came to Fulousha, there were only two kinds of goods with them.
Silk silk from the Han Kingdom in the East, and Kunlun milk jade from the "Chang'an Fang" in the Khotanese royal city.
The whole process of the transaction does not need to be repeated, and the smooth flow of familiar customers is general.
It happened that there was a high monk in the central Balenfu Temple, and his disciples customized a glazed stupa for him to worship relics.
Recently, Rome and Sassanid Persia have been at war again, and there are very few western glazes from the east.
Our hundreds of Kunlun milk jade fell from the sky, which also solved the urgent need of the old owner of Salan to have no rice to cook.
Therefore, the price of the transaction is much higher than in ordinary years.
