Chapter 202: Uncle Langdong
The caravan is about to start, and the mound of the Maitian Deer Girl has been built.
There is no epitaph, only a broken wreath to accompany her.
"Little Sister Tianlu, foolish brother Jincheng can't take care of you, I'm so ashamed! Rest here, and he'll come back to see you next year. ”
I put down the first piece of clumsy Belo incense in front of the grave of this Kushan woman, and said silently in my heart, tears coming out of my eyes.
All the guys walked by with incense in turn, and said goodbye to the Tianlu girl.
By the time Uncle Su put down the last piece of the clumsy berry incense that had been ignited, the light purple incense cloud had formed a blue-colored canopy on the grave of this Guishan daughter.
"Don't blame yourself, young master! Our Tianlu girl is already in heaven! There is a compassionate Buddha to protect her! Hahaha! ”
Uncle Su came to my side and smiled heartily at Xiangyun.
I clasped my palms together and sang a few Buddhist verses, and with a little relief in my heart, I gently pulled the reins and whipped the horse away.
With a long roar of hooves from the horse, our horse team had left the bank of the long river and entered the east gate of the Fulou Shawang City.
The city's horse roads were full of pedestrians and monks, and the speed of the caravan slowed down.
The two marched side by side, passing through the Babylonian Incense Society, the Queli Futu, and the Kasserga Temple, and the caravan changed its old path and headed towards the north gate of the royal city.
According to the introduction of the old guests of Guishan in the city, two years ago, in order to welcome the Buddha relics from the north, dozens of Buddhist temples outside the city specially gathered thousands of believers and built a long bridge of stone and wood on the Tianzhu River.
Now the stone bridge is still there, from there to cross the Yangtze River to the north to the Buddha country, than to go west to Xinshatou Gudu and then go north to save the road of thirty percent.
The old guest ancient road is hot, and he specially assigned two men to lead the way with us, and now they are waiting for us at the north gate of the royal city.
I am worried that I can't meet with Duo'er and them on the Dali Luo River on schedule, and now that there is a shortcut, of course, I won't miss it.
The two Guishan men were very clever, and after meeting at the city gate, they didn't need to be polite, they took their mounts and led the way.
The Tianzhu River turned a big bend outside the city of Fulousha, and the original east-west river became a southward direction, as if it had been broken by the waist.
Therefore, the flood of the great river roared when it was blocked, and made the whistling sound of ten thousand horses galloping.
After the horse team left the city, we galloped along the open river bank for more than 30 miles, and a tall and thick ancient castle came into our eyes.
The castle is crowded with people inside and outside, and the ancient sandalwood trees in the surrounding fields are towering like clouds, and the strong fragrance of sandalwood resin can be smelled from ten miles away.
It is not necessary to guess that this is the territory of the Tan Spice Family of the Buddha Kingdom of Jiandra, and it is unknown who its owner is.
While everyone was speculating, there were already a few natives dressed as old Kushan people blocking the caravan's way.
"Oops! Su Ye! Don't come unharmed! Where's my Uncle Yi? Hahaha! ”
Before the people arrived, the voices of the Tocharian mountain dialect had already entered their ears.
Is it Samarkand, the high annex city? Uncle Lang Dong? My heart was filled with joy.
Sure enough, Uncle Langdong, dressed in a gray cotton summer coat and with blue eyes, was already in front of him and happily invited me to dismount!
"Jin Cheng has seen my cousin!"
I quickly turned over and dismounted, and bowed to my cousin Langdong as a family elder gift.
"Nephew, please get up! Four years ago in the Gaofu Royal City, the virtuous nephew was still a young man, and now he has become a strong man who stands on top of the sky! Hahaha! Longxi Yi's people are prosperous, congratulations! What about my Uncle Linfeng? Why didn't you see him? ”
Uncle Lang Dong stopped to greet and looked around, looking for my grandfather's mount.
"My master passed away two years ago, and now he is the young leader, hehe."
Life is short, birth, old age, sickness and death are originally ordinary things, Uncle Su on the side smiled faintly.
"Oh, I see! I have always regarded Uncle Yi as my father, but I didn't expect that three years ago, I would be forever, and the world is impermanent! ”
At this point, Uncle Langdong burst into tears and let out a long sigh.
The men dismounted, and the elders came to pick up our mounts, and pulled them to the inner courtyard to feed them.
"Uncle Cousin, my nephew always thought that your whole family was still in Gaofu City, and I never thought that I could meet Uncle Cousin here, it's really fate!"
As he spoke, everyone had followed Lang Dong's cousin into the Xuanshi Castle, passed through a series of incense-making workshops, and finally sat down in the hall of the Samarkand family's meeting room.
"Hey! Master Su, nephew! It's hard to put into words! ”
There is no green tea in Tianzhu Buddhism, so Uncle Langdong treats guests with wine.
"Two years ago, a fire burned the foundation of our Samarkand family in the royal city of Gaofu. Fortunately, the ancestors left this sandalwood society to our descendants, and the whole family now has a place to stay. ”
Speaking of the catastrophe of the family, the arrogant cousin Langdong couldn't help but feel sad, and toasted us with a pottery cup.
"When the old man was alive, he often said that the Samarkand family was one of the most wealthy families in the Kushan country, and today I saw such a weather, and the old man finally believed it!"
Uncle Su stroked his silver beard lightly and raised his lamp in return.
"It's not as good as it used to be! Truth be told, this incense shrine is our family's last inheritance. In the future, we will need a lot of support from Su Ye and my nephew to get through the difficulties! Come! Drink! ”
After a little worry, Lang Dong's cousin personally got up to sift the wine for us, revealing his heroic nature again.
"Good luck Brother Langdong! The young master has just decided to come to Tianzhu in the future to take spices as the main business, and he met your family incense society, so it will be the will of heaven because of fate! Hahaha! ”
Seeing that the business met unexpectedly, Uncle Su couldn't help but laugh heartily, and raised his lamp to drink a glass of this expensive old wine.
"Providence! Ha ha! Providence! My sandalwood resin livelihood will depend on the two of you in the future! ”
The three of them held a lamp together to celebrate, and they were both relatives of Tocharian and their relatives, and the communication was also doubly cordial and smooth.
"The virtuous nephew's face is gray and his spirit is not right, although he is as tall as a mountain, he is extremely emaciated, is he infected with wind and cold on the way? Go back and let your aunt boil a few pairs of decoction and take care of it. ”
After some pleasantries, Uncle Langdong looked at me with great concern.
"Let my uncle laugh, my nephew accidentally contracted the Forgetfulness Poison Gu when he was in the country of Tuoli. However, he has made a poisonous vow that he will never touch it again in this life, and his uncle does not need to worry. ”
Uncle Su and I looked at each other, but decided to tell the truth, so we replied.
"How can a virtuous nephew be so careless! Forget your worries and poison incense, you can't touch it! Once addicted, you can still prolong your life by nourishing Gu with poisonous incense, but few people can live past the years of confusion. If you stop suddenly, the essence and blood in your body will burn like a flame, draining your life! Yi Jiaxian's nephew, you! You! Ay! How can this be? ”
Hearing that I was contaminated with the strange poison of the Forgetful Worry Flower, Uncle Langdong's face changed suddenly, and he paced up in the hall with both hands.
He looked at me anxiously for a long time, and he couldn't bear to blame me, so he could only sigh and return to his desk.
"Is the Forgetful Poison Flower really so powerful? How did the old man hear that but if he has the will, all poisonous Gu can heal themselves. ”
Uncle Su also realized the danger and looked at me worriedly.
At this time, my head was empty, and the blood vessels in my body seemed to have thousands of poisons
The ants are gnawing at it, and the pain is unbearable.
My whole body was drenched in cold sweat in an instant, and I lifted the table in front of me like a trapped beast and fell to the center of the hall.
"Uncle Su save me!"
I let out a roar with all my might, striking my head against the pillars in front of the courtroom, and my whole body convulsed as if I had entered a fried hell.
Hearing my call for help, Qin Chong and the others had already rushed in from outside the door.
With the experience of the previous rescues, it took a lot of effort for a few strong men to subdue me and no longer hurt my own family.
Two hours later, my eyes were flushed, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
The first wave of the poisonous Gu was slowly subsiding, and I passed out.
When I woke up again, it was noon on the second day, and all the guys in the team were sitting in front of my couch, and the clumsy bello in the room was as fragrant as a floating cloud that could not be dissolved.
"Young master, you finally woke up, scared the old man to death! Woooooo ”
Uncle Su also didn't sleep all night, and the wrinkles on his face had a few more layers, and he held my arm and cried.
"Uncle Su, don't be sad, everyone get up, I'm not still alive! Hehe. ”
I smiled weakly, raised my hand to greet everyone, and sat up with difficulty.
At this time, Langdong's cousin and his wife and several older brothers and sisters also walked in gently and brought me the decoction of Yuanshen.
"Don't worry, nephew, there is an uncle for you to call the shots in everything in this Tianzhu Buddha Country! Hehe! ”
Uncle Shi sat down cross-legged next to Uncle Su, sweating profusely, obviously just returning from outside.
"I inquired from the presiding officer of the Gatta Buddha Monastery that there is an isolated island off the coast of Sinhala in the south, and there lives an enlightened monk named Shura. This monk is compassionate and takes the dissolution of all kinds of suffering in the world as his practice in this life, and his virtuous nephew will definitely be able to receive complete healing when he arrives there. ”
"My cousin's gracious nephew understands it, but the caravan can't be delayed here for too long, my little sister and a few fellows are still waiting for us in the valley of the Toli River."
I thanked him, and Qin Chong on the side brought a shirt and draped it behind me to protect against the cold.
"Young master, everything is about saving lives! You don't need to worry about the trivial matters on the business road, although the old man is old, he can still bear the burden for the young master for a few more years! ”
Uncle Su smiled kindly, and turned to Uncle Langdong's cousin to entrust him.
"Brother Langdong, the young master of my family is recuperating here, and everything big and small depends on you, the uncle, to worry a lot!"
"Brother Su, don't worry, tomorrow I will arrange family affairs and personally escort my nephew to the South China Sea! Autumn is approaching, and every year at this time of year a large number of Oriental merchant ships dock on that isolated island to replenish fresh water. If the nephew's poisonous Gu can be lifted, he can also reach Jiankang by sea with the merchant ship. ”
Uncle Lang Dong generously replied that he had already regarded me as his own son.
"This arrangement is very good, please recuperate with peace of mind. If this trip goes well, we will see you in Longxi Manor in the late spring of next year. Qin Chong, Liu Zhen'er, you two stay and take care of the young master. If the young master has three long and two short, only the two of you ask! ”
Uncle Su stood up and made the final arrangements for the caravan's personnel.
"I am willing to break my bones for the young master!"
"I am willing to accompany the young master to the ends of the world!"
The two brothers, Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er, bowed solemnly to Uncle Su as if they were receiving orders in front of the three armies.
In fact, even without Uncle Su's arrangement, they would never tolerate leaving me alone to heal my injuries in Tianzhu.
After so many years of ups and downs, the three of us have already formed a tacit understanding and blood alliance.
We cannot live together in this life, but we must die together.
