Chapter 175: The Way of the Calendar (2)

It was getting late, and a few of the Kushan natives and the priestess named Maitian Deer took up temporary accommodation next to our tent.

It is said that some indigenous tribes in the mountains of the Green Ridge have a very random name for the girl's family, and there is no surname or no name.

Basically, they are called by plants, trees, flowers, birds, beasts, or interesting anecdotes, as their own women for a lifetime.

The priestess must have seen a wild deer foraging in their wheat field when she was born, and from then on they called their daughter a wheat deer.

When Gu Landuo was translating, he thought that the transliteration of Tianzhu Sanskrit was twisting, so he simply gave this woman a nice and easy-to-remember title in the elegant dialect of our Eastern Han land.

The spirit of Lunai Mountain, with the spirit of a fairy, is lucky and pleasant, which is very consistent with the life experience and current situation of the Guishan girl.

After listening to Duo'er's translation, we couldn't help but sigh and sigh while laughing, and sighed at the miracle of creation.

When the beautiful and agile wheat field deer is at home, it must be loved by his parents and clansmen.

But in the year of cardamom, she was chosen by the clan elders and priests as the priestess of the god of the snow-capped mountains, which is really a disaster from the sky and sorrow from it!

When he was about to be pushed down the snow peak by the sacrificial clansmen at the foot of the mountain and became a wronged soul, he met us again and was able to turn the crisis into safety, and everything was providential.

In our eastern Tuhan region, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, rich or poor, and wild people, they have always attached importance to the name of their heirs.

It not only reflects the inheritance of the clan bloodline, but also places the expectation of wealth and peace, which is in line with the five elements and through the people.

The good or bad of the name is related to the luck of a lifetime, and it is really unpleasant to take this woman of the wheat field deer as a reference!

Mai Tianlu herself is a cheerful and enthusiastic woman, and after a night with Duo'er, she is like a sister.

Early the next morning, accompanied by Duo'er, I came to kowtow to Uncle Su and me, thanking us for saving our lives.

Jasper is like a flower, the body is graceful, the skin is better than snow, and the eyes that have not been polluted by the world are smart and flowing.

Such a fair lady is clearly the Yiren on the shore of Weishui!

The beauty of the wheat deer made me unbearable to look at it directly, so I quickly returned the salute and sent the two women away.

Duo'er has already seen my embarrassment, and she sees through it with a wicked smile but does not say anything, which can be regarded as leaving me with a little dignity.

"Uncle Su, the world says that the Guishan woman has the beauty of combining East and West, the crane neck and snake waist of the Persian beauty, and the condensation of the Oriental girl. Today I finally believe in it! ”

After sending away the wheat field deer, I smiled at Uncle Su with a self-deprecating smile.

"Since ancient times, the southern foot of the Green Mountains has been a battleground for soldiers, and the Aryan natives, body poisons, Persians, Romans, Cypriots, and Yueshi people of different races have lived and intermarried for generations, and naturally there are many beautiful women. Young master, today we will spend the night at the Mibona Pass, and tomorrow afternoon we will arrive at the valley of the Tuoli River, the hometown of the Tianlu girl, where the caravan can stay for a few more days, and have a good rest before setting out on the road. ”

Uncle Su smiled faintly and reported to me the itinerary for today and tomorrow.

Then he made a gesture inviting me forward, and the pre-departure inspection began every morning.

It's also a daily routine and shouldn't be wasted.

Check the preparation of each guy's outfit, whether there are any goods, missing livestock, whether the leather rope on the horse's back is tied tightly, and explain the precautions on the way.

It's like this every day, it's complicated and boring, it's really not fun to be a head!

When you meet the woman you like, you can't flirt, you show people with the style of a gentleman everywhere, you eat all the hard work on the way, and you are good at dealing with any emergencies.

Uncle Su, who has rich experience in business, has changed his previous style of overstepping his bounds and acting on behalf of others, and he wants me to do everything myself, and he is only there to assist.

Uncle Su, this is boiling eagles!

Of course, I know his hard work, and I hope that I can take charge of it soon.

In this way, Uncle Su can withdraw from the business road with peace of mind and live a comfortable and quiet life for a few days.

An outsider is still like this, how can I, as the master, do whatever I want and be as profligate as before!

The Kushan natives who accompanied them walked on this snowfield every year, knew the road conditions well, and volunteered to be the guides of the caravan.

Brother Rongmu originally planned to send us back to Puli Country after sending us through Buzhou Mountain, but along the way, the ice and snow were vast and the mountains were dangerous.

I was so relieved that he would go back alone, so I invited him to go south with us.

After the transaction of my caravan in the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom is completed this summer, we will return to the Puli King City together, and I can pay double the reward.

In order to chase the wild things in the snow leopard and rock sheep, it is common for him to stay in the mountains for a month or two, but he is not afraid of the worries of the women, children and the elderly at home.

Therefore, my kind invitation was very much in his heart, and he happily stayed in the team to help with some errands of grazing.

"Mr. Yi, I am the clan uncle of Mai Tianlu, Mr. is merciful and can save my family's woman, and he is the great benefactor of our Hemu family, this kind of kindness is higher than the Yunfeng of Buzhou Shen Mountain!"

Before the caravan departed, one of the nine elders of the Kushan people stepped out of the queue and talked in front of my horse, his hands folded and his emotions intense.

"Big brother's words are serious! It's a trivial matter! The method of human sacrifice is really inappropriate, it has long been in decline in our eastern soil, and respecting God and loving people is the right way! ”

After listening to Duo'er's translation, I quickly dismounted and saluted, and Duo'er took a lot of effort to make this big brother Guishan understand what I meant.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Su! Seeing the red sun heading north, the flood peak of glacial meltwater will soon reach the Toli River Valley. If the flood is not eliminated, even if Mr. Buddha saves Tianlu today, and the priests of the tribe will blame it in the future, this little woman will still be dead! ”

The more the Mai Tianlu's uncle spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he stretched out his arms and shouted loudly to the sky at the zenith, as if expressing the grievances in his heart.

Later, I learned that although the annual flood has lasted for thousands of years, the old Kushan people in the Tuoli River Valley can still survive.

Ten years ago, the tribal leader invited the Buddha's acting priest from the royal city of the Capricorn Buddha kingdom and began to practice the method of human sacrifice once a year, putting the entire tribe in danger.

The Buddha's will could not be violated, but some women who had just become a woman fled to other places with their children one after another, and the once prosperous and wealthy tribes of the Kushan Kingdom also declined day by day.

Therefore, the abolition of human sacrifice and the expulsion of priests is something that every old person wants to do but does not dare to do.

Now that I, a passer-by from the East, have come forward to support justice for them, both gratifying and worrying the old people of Kushan.

Nowadays in Northern Tianzhu, the monks who believe in spreading the Dharma have been divided, and the highest rank is the Brahmin clan.

They are both the theocratic powers of the Buddha

The representative also controls the supreme authority of the secular state, much like the royal family of our Eastern Tuhan Kingdom and the wealthy families of the three princes.

The priest is the Brahmin, who controls the power of life and death in the whole tribe, and even the chief of the tribe is afraid of three points.

"Big brother, don't worry, since we are willing to save Miss Mai Tianlu, we will bear all the consequences! The floods in the Toli River Valley are not enough to fear, and the eldest brother has heard the story of our Oriental Dayu controlling the water, right? ”

I laughed with confidence, the method of water control varies depending on the terrain, and there is no rule to follow when you don't go to the scene.

But I'm 100% excited about this challenge.

After listening to Duo'er's translation and persuasion, the eldest brother of Guishan returned to the team with a suspicious salute, led his people to ride on a yak, and ran to the front to show us the way.

Buzhou Mountain is the watershed of the entire green ridge ice field, the rivers in the north of the mountain flow from south to north, and the rivers in the south of the mountain go south one after another, straight to the vast sea.

We are now walking on a tributary of the Tianzhu River, frozen for several feet and as hard as iron.

It's hard to imagine that a month later, these feet of ice would turn into a torrential flood that swallowed everything in its path.

Miss Mai Tianlu rode on Do'er's mount, and Doll herself led the horse underneath, and the two women were now inseparable sisters in distress.

"Miss Tian Lu, sing us a ballad!"

"Miss Tianlu, the ancient songs of your Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom are really earth-shattering!"

Yesterday evening, Miss Mai Tianlu's poignant long song seemed to come from the ground, and scared everyone half to death.

Now that he can see the true face of this beautiful woman, Qin Chong, who has always been lustful, and Liu Liu, who has always been lustful, pulled forward and accosted him.

I was both indignant and very jealous, and in the past, I accosted and made love with foreign beauties on the way, which had always been the exclusive domain of the young master, but now I was robbed by these two guys.

They clearly knew that as the leader of the caravan, I had to pretend to look at beauty and nothing, so I would be so unscrupulous, which was really infuriating!

After listening to Duo'er's translation, the Guishan beauty didn't mind at all, and danced and sang for everyone on the horse.

The mysterious timbre and long melody are as lofty as Zhou Shenfeng, like a brilliant long silk with nine loops falling from the sky, soft and stretched.

It is not like the Zhou Li Nange of our Eastern Tuhan Land, nor is it like the Hu music of Persia, Rome, and Egypt.

It's unheard of, open-minded, and evocative like drinking an ice fountain on a hot summer day.

I can't help but think of Shangguan Yanxi, the daughter of the Luocheng Post Post in Chang'an Guizhifang, and Kurina, the Loulan girl who sang for me on the mountain of Shanshanguo's five-colored sea, and now she has become the old wife of the family.

My heart couldn't help but dim, and the distant yesterday was like in a dream.

But after listening to Do'er's translation, everyone couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The wheat under the mountain is ripe,

Wild deer from the mountains were brought in.

The kapok behind the village opened,

Sassanid merchants selling silk came to the entrance of the village.

In the smoke clouds filled with the clumsy bello incense,

I saw the compassionate face of the Buddha.

O Prajnaparami!

Prajnaparamita!

What this beautiful woman sang emotionally turned out to be a Buddhist song.
