687 The Holy Monk of Kushuang
Those who were kneeling down were all wearing monk's clothes and bowing to Shanfei very respectfully. The fastest update was a little disgusted, thinking that Sun Zhong had some idea how Sun Zhong sent him here somehow, causing such a misunderstanding, but I don't know how to explain it.
However, seeing that those people were not at all hostile, they could only wait for these people to raise their heads, and then they made a gesture and said, "You get up first before you talk."
Those people couldn't understand the words of solo, but they understood the gesture of solo, and slowly stood up and surrounded the solo, still full of respect.
I have encountered this situation for the first time alone. I thought to myself that I am not a god after all, and I can’t give you any benefits. How can I resolve this misunderstanding?
After staring at everyone for a long time, she finally said solo: "I passed by here without intention, not a god you believe in... I still have something to do with him, so let's leave it for now."
After saying and gesture, he didn't want to get involved with these people anymore, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the temple. On the top of the mountain, he had already seen a small village at the foot of the mountain.
If his guess is correct, if this place is really within the scope of the Kushan Empire, there should be many merchants responsible for the business operations between China and the West, and it is inevitable that there will be people who speak the Central Plains. He wants to inquire and make a decision.
Seeing this, the people surrounded him again. They seemed to dare not pull the solo flight, but just kowtowed again.
When he saw that these people were very respectful to him, he actually wanted to keep his actions. He couldn't bear to deceive them, but he couldn't leave at this time.
After a while, those people showed joy when they saw Shanfei no longer leaving. There was a monk who was dark in skin, his hands and feet were like dry firewood, and like the host of everyone, and he made a gesture to Shanfei inwardly.
Seeing the presiding look extremely begging and eager, he finally walked towards the main hall in the temple.
The architectural style here is very different from that of the Central Plains temples, but there are also statues of gods and ghosts in the hall. I was not very familiar with the gods and ghosts abroad. After entering the main hall, I didn’t go to see the statue. However, the monks immediately crawled and knelt in front of the statue after entering the main hall, and cheered.
Solo Fei couldn't help but look in the direction of everyone's bowing, his heart beat violently and almost jumped up.
The statue of God is actually a woman. The woman looks very similar...
His fingers were trembling, and he couldn't help but touch the goddess talisman in his arms, but he didn't take it out. He didn't have to take out the goddess talisman, but he also knew that the statue worshipped in the temple was just like the woman on his goddess talisman.
The same beauty is as far away from the dust, the same loneliness...
Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl?
What is the statue of the Nine Heavens Xuannv?
He flew solo and his heart was trembling. At first, he thought Sun Zhong had made a mistake in his place, but when he saw the statue of the Nine Heavens Xuan, he realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.
Looking at the Nine Heavenly Profound Woman with loneliness among her eyebrows, she couldn't suppress her excitement in her heart. Seeing that the monk finally got up, she flew to the host and asked, "Which statue is this god?"
The host looked at Solo in a daze, not knowing what Solo was asking.
Shanfei thought to himself that he was a little confused. He knew that they didn't understand what he said, but he still asked Yu Biao. He took out the goddess talisman from his arms and shook it at the host. His intention was to ask the truth about why the Nine Heavens Xuannv was worshipped by such a person.
The host's eyes lit up when he saw the talisman and couldn't help but kneel down again. All the monks knelt down again and cheered again.
Solo could only sigh, thinking that the gods that these people worshipped were actually the Nine Heavens Xuannv. Seeing that he held the Nine Heavens Xuannv’s talisman, perhaps he thought he was the messenger of the Nine Heavens Xuannv?
He is not an envoy, he is considered to be half of the successor?
He was in a confused environment solo, but he could keep thinking calmly. He knew that no matter how he asked, he would get half the result with twice the effort. Since that was the case, he simply stayed to find out.
The host was extremely happy to see that he had no intention of leaving and respectfully served the food at noon. He flew alone to see the food as messy as mud, with some characteristics of Indian food. He saw the respect of these people and thought that no matter how unpalatable this thing was, he would always follow the local customs. Fortunately, although the food was dry and hard, there was no curry, otherwise it could be said that it was the originator of dark cuisine.
After using food at noon, there is no more supply at night.
Solo knows that the Kushan Empire is an open country, and it accepts India, the Qin Empire, and even Greek culture. The style of these monks should be the characteristic of inheriting Indian Buddhism and not eating after lunch.
He walked around the temple a little, and except for the statue of the Xuan goddess, he did not notice any abnormalities next to him. The monks were extremely respectful to him, and although they were afraid that he would leave, they did not restrict him from walking. After seeing him turn, they showed a happy expression.
In this way, I couldn't bear to leave quietly.
For three days, the host seemed to be afraid of flying alone disappearing, and also afraid of loneliness. He was always by his side every day, but the two of them kept talking to each other, and they didn't know what each other said. On the fourth day, a monk ran in from outside the temple and said a few words to the host. The host nodded, respectfully arrived in front of flying alone, and after three bows, he made a gesture of inviting outside.
Is this a matter of consuming too much, so are you going to drive me away?
Shanfei was surprised and walked out of the temple following the presiding gesture, and saw a group of monks carrying a simple package, which was actually about to travel far.
The host respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Tianfei. Tianfei was slightly happy to see this. He knew that these people were probably going to a place, and it was very likely to be related to him, so that he could solve his mystery.
After going down the mountain, there was indeed a small village at the foot of the mountain. When the people saw these monks coming down, they knelt on both sides of the road and waited until the monks passed by before they got up.
Only then did he realize that the status of these monks here was not low. He wanted to ask someone for questions, but from beginning to end, he did not find someone who understood his words, so he had to give up.
After everyone went down the mountain, they marched southwest. The monks seemed to have no martial arts skills, but they should be ascetics and their steps were really light. When they were resting, the monks were meditating and silently speaking, and only one or two went to the nearby wilderness to dig some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
After five or six days of leaving, So Fei frowned secretly, thinking to himself, where are we going? Did Ban Chao not complete the feat of visiting the Qin Empire and I want to realize it?
The crowds in front of them were getting thicker. On that day, everyone arrived in front of a dirt city. There were crowds of people inside and outside the city. When they saw these monks coming, they pointed and pointed with respect in their expressions.
After the monks entered the city, they ended in a simple and quiet inn, and seemed to have no intention of moving forward immediately.
Solo Fei was secretly surprised, but he once went to a market in front of the inn, where there were all kinds of people, and it can be said that there were all Eurasians. He did not give up on the idea of asking the final word and made a gesture to the host. These days, the host saw Solo Fei very kind, everything was in line with their wishes, and he had a more favorable impression of Solo Fei. He did not keep pace with Solo Fei like before, but only made a gesture to turn around as soon as possible.
I snorted solo and quickly walked to the market. I saw the market's products were dazzling, which was extremely rich.
The Kushan was originally a descendant of the Yuezhi in the Western Regions. When the Yuezhi was forced by the Huns, he had no choice but to move west to Central Asia. There were still five major lord tribes, called the Five Xihous. Later, the Kushan tribe, one of the Five Xihous, annexed the remaining four tribes and officially established the empire.
In history books, the Central Plains still call this empire called Yuezhi, but the Kushan spanned Central Asia and South Asia at this moment, it is indeed extraordinary in scale and is respected as the Kushan Empire by the surrounding small countries.
The Kushans were located in the intersection of poison (India), Qin (Rome), Han Dynasty, and resting countries, and trade was extremely developed.
I flew solo to see the silk in the Central Plains, the spices and gems of poisonous bodies, the luminous walls of Egypt, and the amber corals of the Qin Dynasty all showed their faces in this market. I couldn't help but feel that the Central Plains are in chaos now, but Kushan is a rare place in the world...
When he was sighing, a man beside him said in a hoarse voice: "Holy Monk, this is the best ointment in the Kingdom of Rest. Do you need it?"
Solo Fei was stunned, turned his head and looked at him, and saw an old Central Asian man picking up a small box on his stall near him, showing him a somewhat flattering smile.
Seeing the man looking at him straight, Shanfei was puzzled and pointed at the tip of his nose and said, "Are you talking to me?"
The old fried dough nodded repeatedly, "I am talking to the holy monk." What he said was the standard Central Plains discourse.
He was somewhat surprised when he flew solo and said hurriedly: "Is this Kushan country?" Although he had speculation, he finally saw a person who could speak Central Plains after holding it in a long time. How could he miss it?
The old fried dough showed a confused look, but said, "The Holy Monk said it is right. This is indeed the Kushan Kingdom. This city is called Lucheng. It is not far southwest. It is Peshawar, the capital of the Kushan Kingdom."
Shanfei's heart moved slightly and thought to himself that Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty had visited Peshawar and called Peshawar a country with lush flowers and fruits. Peshawar was originally a city of flowers in Sanskrit, and as the name suggests, it should be an extremely beautiful place. When I thought of this, Shanfei felt a yearning for it.
"Is the Holy Monk going to Peshawar?" the old fried dough said politely.
He heard the man speak out as a holy monk at once and frowned and said, "Do you think I look like a monk?"
The old fried dough was slightly surprised and said strangely: "The holy monk and the holy monks in Tongxuan Temple in Mingguang Mountain are naturally also holy monks. Those holy monks have never interacted with outsiders."
Solo asked: "The holy monks of Tongxuan Temple in Mingguang Mountain? They are in Kushan Country..."
The old fried dough stick is not an idiot. After hearing Soo Fei’s question, he understood that this kid might have had the opportunity to be with those monks, and he still said politely: “The Kushan king has always regarded the holy monks of Xuanmiao as the country protector. Since that is the case, their status is naturally high.”
He knew the strangeness of those monks. When he saw Sanfei entering the city, he deliberately cursed. Seeing Sanfei frowned and said without saying a word, the old fried dough stick smiled and said, "If the holy monk likes it, he will take this ointment. He will only worship it and will never ask for any fees."
He didn't know that Solo Fei was standing in front of the ointment without intention, and only thought that the holy monk had moved the ordinary heart. Although he didn't know Solo Fei's identity, he was sure that he would not misjudgment of this person's nobility, so he wanted to make a "good relationship".
