Mingyue pondered for a while and asked, "When did your ancestor get this cup?" ”

Guan Shanfei recalled for a while and said, "It was about one hundred and eighty years ago. ”

One hundred and eighty years ago, it happened to be about the same time as Zuo Qiuci fled to the Western Regions, maybe there was some connection between the two.

"In that case, then I will accept this cup." Mingyue Road.

"Thank you, Chief." Guan Shanfei looked relieved.

Nearly two hundred years of keeping promises has finally come to an end, and Guan Shanfei has some losses, but more is still relaxed.

He raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Two Taoist Chiefs, Liu Zheng Shaoxia, we will not get drunk today." ”

Although Guan Shanfei looked like he was drinking to death, it was impossible for the three of them to let him really drink more.

With his current body, he will be bedridden the next day when he drinks it openly.

So the three of them just had a few drinks and then got up to take their leave.

Although Ilham Tohti was dead and the glass luminous cup was given to Mingyue, Guan Shanfei decided to move to the vicinity of Huashan.

After all, this world is just like Mingyue said, the rivers and lakes are sinister, if there is no martial arts and the protection of the teacher, it is difficult to be peaceful and peaceful.

Therefore, he did not force him to stay, but asked the three of them to come to the house as guests if they passed by Huashan, and he would definitely be hospitable.

After bidding farewell to Guan Shanfei's family, the three of them returned to the Tongle Inn.

It was late at night, and the inn was empty, except for the night-watching running hall lying on the table made of beds and sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Mingyue snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Big-bellied Buddha and white camel, if you two don't come out again, I will raze your inn to the ground." ”

"Don't, demolish my inn, where will Daoist Mingyue go to drink grape wine?" A person came out of the shadow behind the pillar, and it was the pot-bellied Buddha.

"What about the white camels?" Mingyue asked.

"He went to divide the inheritance for others." The pot-bellied Buddha laughed.

"Oh? So is he Ilham Tohti's son, or his grandson? Mingyue scoffed.

"No, he's Ilham Tohti's father." The pot-bellied Buddha smiled.

"Your wine is so expensive." Mingyue said expressionlessly.

"The 20-year-old grape wine in the jade cup of Qilian Mountain is naturally worth a lot of money." The pot-bellied Buddha nodded.

"I don't think it's worth it now, and I want you to return the money." Mingyue said coldly.

"Of course, if Daoist Mingyue wants to return the money, I have to return it immediately." The pot-bellied Buddha nodded.

Then, he took out a wooden box from his arms and threw it to Mingyue.

Mingyue raised her hand to open it, and there was a pair of white silk gloves inside, which shone brightly under the candlelight of the inn, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

"Daoist may wish to put it on." The pot-bellied Buddha made a gesture of please.

Mingyue still wore gloves, only to feel full of elasticity and cold.

He took up the water cold palm and slapped it out, and immediately felt a cold power emerge from the glove, mixing with the palm power, adding two points of cold air.

"This is an ice silk glove made of hundred-year-old ice silk, and ordinary weapons can even cut a single silk, and it contains the power of ice and cold, which is suitable for the martial arts of the Taoist." The pot-bellied Buddha politely introduced.

"If you calculate me again next time, it won't be as simple as returning the money." Mingyue took off her ice silk gloves and said.

"Of course, the two of us are businessmen, and we know the truth best about accepting when we see it." In order to show his sincerity, the big-bellied Buddha also made a special gesture.

It's just that his belly is too big to bend at all, and it looks like a ball is stuffed in an obtuse angle.

Liu Zheng smiled strangely on the side, and the words of the pot-bellied Buddha reminded him of Dunninger's sentence in "Trade Unions and Strikes": As soon as there is a proper profit, capital will be emboldened. If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it becomes active; With a 50% profit, it takes risks; With 100% profits, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging its head.

This sentence is also applicable to the martial arts world, businessmen don't know what it means to accept it when they see it.

Of course, this matter itself is the three of them taking the initiative to do it, and the white camel and the big-bellied Buddha are just adding fuel to the fire, and this pair of ice silk gloves can be regarded as a small punishment and a big precept.

The reputation of these two people in Yangguan is not bad, otherwise Mingyue would not have gotten acquainted with them, and it is better for them to take over Tohti's industry than for others to take over.

"I hope you can do it yourself, if I come back from the Western Regions and find that you have become another Ilham Tohti, then you will end up like him." Mingyue looked directly at the pot-bellied Buddha.

In the face of such a naked threat, the big-bellied Buddha's face changed.

His face was originally extremely kind, but when he sank his face, he was very majestic and fierce.

But Mingyue didn't feel it, but there was a fierce momentum on her body, like a sword and a needle.

"Daoist Mingyue's martial arts seem to have improved again." The big-bellied Buddha suddenly looked fierce, and put on a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha.

"It's just another meridian, nothing." Mingyue said indifferently.

Just as he stabbed Il Tohti in the thigh with a counter-attacking sword, his hand and pericardial meridian opened naturally.

Now that he has passed the Ren Pulse, the Belt Pulse, the Hand Three Yin Sutras, the Hand Three Yang Meridians and the Foot Three Yin Meridians, as long as he is opening up the Du Pulse, he is a veritable master master.

Moreover, the minimum threshold for the grandmaster is the two meridians of Ren Du plus any seven meridians, Mingyue not only has nine canons, but also the three yin meridians of the hand and the three yang meridians of the hand are all connected, as long as you enter the grandmaster, you will automatically skip the entry stage.

In fact, Mingyue is also very helpless, the second vein of Rendu is the sea of meridians, and it must be a priority to get through.

It's just that his Du veins are extremely clogged, so he has to start from other meridians first, and save the country.

Seeing him admit it, the big-bellied Buddha here said with a smile on his face even more flatteringly: "Congratulations to Daoist Mingyue, those three have a good rest, and the villain will retire first." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he was afraid that Mingyue would find him unlucky.

"This fat man, it's good. Senior brother, you can use these gloves. Mingyue laughed and handed the gloves to Ge Baoshan.

Ge Baoshan didn't refuse, and took it directly.

"You haven't practiced the Dehydration Cold Palm yet, and it's harmful to use this thing, so I'll give it to you when you've finished practicing." He said to Liu Zheng.

"Master, I'm not a spoiled child, I think everything is mine." Liu Zheng said with a smile.

Ge Baoshan also knew that he wouldn't care, but it was always good just in case.

The three of them slept another night, and the next day they left for the customs.

Although the waist card was taken back, the letter was still sent to them by the six gates, so the soldiers guarding the door only glanced at them and let them out.

The trade routes between the Western Regions and the Central Plains were dangerous and long, so skilled guides were necessary.

In addition to the guides provided by the caravan itself, you can also ask the tooth shop to help introduce you, and there will also be some guides waiting to be hired at the pass.

Mingyue was about to pick one of the waiting guides, but heard someone behind him calling his name.

He looked back and saw a man from the Western Regions with a strange nose sitting on a camel looking at him with a smile, followed by a caravan of camels.

"My friend, it's a pleasure to see you again." The people from the Western Regions jumped off their camels and ran over, hugging Mingyue hard.

"Aini, I didn't expect to run into it again by such a coincidence." Mingyue was also very happy.

"This must be Ahura's will, let us meet again." Aini made a mysterious gesture.

Ahura Mazda, meaning "Lord of Wisdom", is the omniscient and omnipotent creator of the universe, who has the virtues of light, life, creation, etc., and is also the embodiment of the heavenly rules, order, and truth, and is the supreme god of Zoroastrianism, that is, Zoroastrianism.

Zoroastrianism is one of the major religions in the Western Regions, along with Taoism, Buddhism, Nestorianism, Manichaeism and some primitive religions.

Ani was the leader of the caravan that Mingyue accompanied when she first went to the Western Regions, and at that time, Mingyue took the initiative to join his caravan as a bodyguard in order to save trouble.

Seeing that he was extraordinary, Aini readily agreed.

As a result, they really encountered desert bandits on the way, and Mingyue killed their leader and successfully repelled the bandits.

Aini was very grateful for this, not only gave Mingyue a large amount of money, but also told him a lot of things to pay attention to in the Western Regions, which helped him avoid a lot of trouble.

"My friend, are you going to the Western Regions again?" Anidao.

"Yes, I haven't finished the last time, and I have to run again." Mingyue replied.

"Then go with my caravan, just like last time, and I'll pay you three times as much this time." Aini glanced at Ge Baoshan and Liu Zheng, and stretched out three fingers to say.

His movements are a bit funny, but the smile on his face is so sincere that people can't feel bad about it.

"Haha, that's great." Of course, Mingyue would not refuse such a good thing.

Seeing that he agreed, Aini was also very happy.

This time, he transported leather goods, medicinal herbs and spices from the Western Regions to Qin-Shaanxi Road to sell them, and used the money he earned to buy a large amount of silk and porcelain to be transported back to the Western Regions.

Recently, there has been a wave of comparison between the nobles of various countries, and the object of comparison is the precious items from the Central Plains.

His silk and porcelain are all of the highest quality, and he will definitely make a lot of money if he returns to the Western Regions.

It's just that the Silk Road is paved with gold, and naturally there will be a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards that smell it.

He has seen Mingyue's skills, plus Ge Baoshan and Liu Zheng, who obviously also have martial arts, the safety of this return trip will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Although they joined the caravan as a guard, as friends of the leader, of course, the three of them would not be treated the same as ordinary guards.

Mingyue and Ge Baoshan sat on a camel and chatted with Aini, while Liu Zhengze looked at the caravan curiously.

Most of these people are high-nosed and brown-haired people from the Western Regions, but there are also a few Central Plains people mixed in.

They all looked tired, after all, they had been on a long business journey.

But their eyes were full of excitement, because as long as they returned to the Western Regions smoothly, they would be able to share a large bounty, which was enough for them to eat and drink without worry for four or five years.

This is the charm of the Silk Road, this ancient road connecting the East and the West, allowing countless wealth to circulate on this road, and also creating countless legends of sudden riches.
