Sahe Man twists his beard and laughs: "The person who teaches you kung fu cannot practice it himself. This is really a strange thing in the world. It's really interesting."
Yijijian said: "Master, don't listen to him. How can a master teach his disciples if he doesn't know how? This kid is trying to amuse us."
Saheman turned to Yi Dijian and said: "Hey... this may not be impossible. Take me as a teacher for example. I have never practiced Central Plains martial arts, but I thought that if you give me a Central Plains martial arts secret book, it will be fine." I will teach you the same thing. I am taking you south to the Central Plains this time to let you know that there is a world outside the sky and there are people outside the world. Don’t always think that it is impossible. When you arrive in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, you will see the Grand Canal, the two capitals of Chang’an and Luoyang, Even flying bridges across rivers and giant ships traveling through the sea will make you realize that nothing is impossible between mountains and seas."
Ye Hu and Yi Dijian both touched their left shoulders with their right hands and said, "I sincerely follow Master's teachings."
Xiao Dayou opened his eyes wide and said to Dugu Xiang: "Look, Xiang'er, you really salute like this..."
Jiang Shuo said: "It turns out that the old gentleman took two disciples to travel within the pass."
Saheman said: "Traveling with my disciples is only secondary. This time I return to the Central Plains after thirty years, but I am entrusted by Pei Luo, the king of Huihe Khan, to have other important tasks."
Jiang Shuo suddenly remembered that Li Huaixiu said that Wang Zhongsi joined forces with the Uighurs and Ge Luolu to attack the Turks last year, so that the Khitan lost its support. An Lushan would only send troops to attack the Khitans this year, and he couldn't help blurting out: "This Uighur Khan is The one who destroyed the Turks?"
Saheman said: "My little friend is very knowledgeable and knows about the Mobei grassland. Yes, the one who unifies the eleven surnames in Mobei is this Gu Duo Lu Pi Jia Que Huairen Ke, who was personally conferred by the Great Tang Tian Khan. Khan. When the Uighur Khanate was first established, Huairen Khan built the Khan Court at the southern foot of Yudujun Mountain, intending to build a capital city based on the Tang Dynasty system. However, Mobei was barbaric, and no one had ever built a city in Mobei before. The so-called Hanhai City was just It is just a large camp for setting up tents, so I appointed the old man to go to the Central Plains to find skilled craftsmen to build the capital."
Jiang Shuo said: "I see, but why didn't the old gentleman go to Longyou and Shuofang to look for craftsmen, but instead went to Hebei Road instead of going far away?"
Sahe Man said: "Yudujun Mountain is the northern range of Yanran Mountain, located in the north of the vast sea. There is a lot of wind and sand there, and the soil is sandy. City bricks cannot be fired, so the city can only be built with stone. There are three places where masons from the Central Plains - Shazhou in Longyou, Jiangzhou in Hedong and Dingzhou in Hebei. The stonemasons in Shazhou and Jiangzhou are all masters of carving grotto statues. Only the stonemasons in Hengyang in Dingzhou are masters in building cities."
Lu Yuxuan crossed his hands and said: "The old man is so familiar with the scenery and people of the Central Plains, which puts me, a native of Hebei Province, to shame." But he thought in his heart: This time the He people are so interested in the art of building cities in the Central Plains, I am afraid that their master's ambitions It's not just building a city.
Saheman dusted off his long sleeves and said, "Okay, the business has been done, the wine and food have been eaten, and we have rested enough. We have to go on the road in the cool of the night. Little friend Jiang, let's say goodbye. We will see you later. "At this moment, summer has entered in the Central Plains. The Uighur people in Mobei are afraid of the heat, so they like to travel at night. The three Uighur people stood up and saluted with the Huihe salute. Jiang Shuo and others quickly stood up and crossed their hands to return the salute.
When the Uighurs and Jiang Shuo were sitting and talking, the three white camels knelt on the ground and closed their eyes to rest. The three of them got up together, and the three camels also raised their necks and looked at their master. They took the white camels first when Saheman approached. , lowered his head in a humane manner, lowered his front legs and let his master ride on his back, then stood up straight.
Dugu Xiang saw it and clapped his hands and said, "This camel is really nice, but it is more lovable than a horse."
The old horse not far away snorted when he heard the sound. He seemed to understand what she said and puffed out his nostrils to express his dissatisfaction. Ye Hu smiled and said: "We only have one horse for this trip, so we can't give it away. If my sister has time to come to Mobei in the future, I will give you one as a gift!" He then took out a leather bag and gave it to Dugu Xiang: " Sister, since you like the food we eat at Huihe's house, I will give this bag of fruit to you." Dugu Xiang happily took it and thanked her repeatedly. She just praised the white camel casually, but what was the use of it? I just feel like it’s not as affordable as this bag of delicious dried fruits.
Sa Heman said on the white camel: "In that case, I will give you something as well."
Dugu Xiang said: "Hey, grandpa, what do you want to give me? Let's make a deal first, I don't want milk wine or dried meat."
Saheman laughed loudly and said, "Of course it's not about eating. Didn't you say that we can sit on the Huihe blanket and make it comfortable? I will choose one of the blankets on the ground and give it to you."
The three members of the Cao Gang were stunned when they heard this. They had been on the canal for a long time and had to deal with merchants from all walks of life. Although they were not as knowledgeable as Hun Weiming, they also knew that this rug was made of wool and was worth far more than the milk wine sold for it. This time, when old man He was selling wine, he was asking for exorbitant prices, but now he was giving such generous gifts, which was really puzzling.
But Dugu Xiang pouted and said, "I don't want such a big blanket, and I don't have a camel. The old horse can't move."
Saheman had long seen the old horse on the side. The Huihe people were good at looking at horses and had already seen that this was a rare dragon-bred Pegasus. Unfortunately, it was a bit old, but the felt blanket was thick and it was really not suitable for a horse to carry. Then he smiled and gave up, waving his hand for Shijijian to put away the two blankets. Everyone felt sorry for him when they saw it, thinking that if Hun Weiming was around at this moment, he would be so angry that he would fall down.
When Dugu Xiang was moving to collect the blanket, she saw that there was a dark purple-red blanket on the back of his camel. She pointed out: "This blanket is not bad, the size is just right, Grandpa White Camel, I don’t want your big one, so just give me this small blanket?”
Yi Dijian was stunned for a moment and looked at his master, but Saheman laughed loudly and said: "The little girl has very wicked eyes... I said that I didn't even want to give away a blanket worth a hundred gold for free. It turned out that she had been targeting her early in the morning. I have given you this purple velvet blanket that is worth tens of thousands of gold. Well, since I have made my promise, Yi Dijian, please take it off and give it to this little girl."
Dugu Xiang said: "Ah...is this smaller one more expensive? I don't know."
Yi Dijian had taken off the small blanket and spread it on the ground. Everyone gathered around to take a look. It turned out that the blanket was not dyed, but woven from natural purple fine wool. Judging from the edges, it had been used for a long time, but the wool color was still smooth. It was as bright as new, and people couldn't bear to step on it with their feet. Xiang'er knelt down and stroked it with his hands. However, he felt that the blanket was extremely thin but extremely soft, and the tentacles were as warm as stroking a live sheep.
Ye Hu said: "This blanket is extraordinary. Even in our Hanhai Khan Court, it is also a rare thing. There is a kind of goat in the extremely cold place of Yanran Mountain. Every winter, it will produce a layer of short velvet under its coarse hair. This Although the layer of down is short, it is fine and soft, and has excellent thermal insulation. This kind of goat can still climb mountains and forage even in heavy snow. It depends on this layer of down. In spring, herdsmen comb it with a fine-toothed iron comb to obtain the down. , for making clothes, a robe can withstand the severe cold, and for making blankets, it is soft and comfortable whether sitting or lying down in cold or hot weather. Cashmere is available in gray, white, and purple. This natural dark purple purple velvet is the best that can be found and cannot be found. Not every ram has one in the shoulder socket of a young ram. Although the felt blanket just now is large, it is only made of ordinary wool. The hair of a hundred sheep is enough, and this purple velvet blanket , even a thousand goats may not be enough to gather together.”
Duguxiang said: "My dear, that's really incredible, but if you use an iron comb to comb its hair, won't these goats freeze to death next winter?"
Ye Hu smiled and said: "Sister, you are really kind-hearted, but goats grow velvet in winter and shed velvet in spring. Even if you don't comb it, the velvet will fall out on its own. Otherwise, won't it be too hot in summer? So after removing the velvet in spring, It will grow back in winter, but don’t worry.”
Duguxiang stuck out his tongue and said, "Oh, oh, that's good. I was afraid that you would kill these goats to get the cashmere." In fact, the Uighur people regard the cashmere-producing goats as a treasure, and there is a fixed number for grazing and collecting cashmere every year. They take good care of these goats, but these goats live on the cliffs of the mountains in the far north. Every year, countless slaves freeze to death or fall to death in order to herd sheep and collect wool. The Uighur people are not very concerned about it, but this festival is lonely. I don’t know about Xiang.
Ye Hu picked up the blanket, held it in his hand and said, "This cashmere is very short, so the blanket is very thin and very light." Everyone looked at it and saw that this purple velvet blanket was indeed not as stiff as ordinary felt blankets. , hanging in Ye Hu's hands as soft as cloth, he couldn't help but cheer in unison.
Ye Hu said: "There is one more benefit." As he spoke, he kicked out a piece of burning firewood from the bonfire, then raised his hand and threw the blanket out. It was covering the firewood. Everyone saw this precious fleece blanket. It was about to be burned to the ground, and they couldn't help but exclaimed. However, the blanket was placed on the fire but was not burned through. Ye Hu picked up the purple velvet blanket again and saw that the firewood had been extinguished. He dusted off the black ashes on the blanket and approached the bonfire for everyone to see. The purple velvet blanket But he was unscathed.
Ye Hu said: "Because of its fine fluff, this blanket is extremely tightly woven, so it can survive fire and water and can't leak. It is really a treasure that can avoid water and fire."
Dugu Xiang's eyes lit up as he listened, and he said happily: "Brother Ye Hu, are you really giving me such a good thing?"
Ye Hu said: "That's natural. We Huihe people promise us a thousand pieces of gold. Don't say anything about a blanket. We have to do it even if we risk our lives. How can we say nothing?" As he said that, he gave the blanket to Dugu Xiang with both hands. Xiang hurriedly took it, and it was indeed as light as nothing in his hand. It was effortless for the old horse and camel to come.
After Ye escorted the blankets, Yi Dijian over there had also put away the two large felt blankets and tied them on the back of the white camel that he and Ye Hu were riding. The two were about to get on the camel. Sa Heman faced Yi Di Jian. Said: "If you lose the fight, will you just leave like this?"
Yi Dijian blushed upon hearing this, walked over to Jiang Shuo and said, "Brother Jiang, although you and I only exchanged one move..."
Saheman scolded: "If you lose, you lose. We, the heroes of the grassland, can use one move or a hundred moves. If you lose in the competition, you have to admit it." Only then did everyone know that the valuable gift Saheman gave to Xiang'er was really true. It was he who admitted that he was defeated by Jiang Shuo in the competition.
Yi Dijian said, "Yes!" He turned to Jiang Shuo and said, "When we Huihe people lose in the martial arts competition, we have to give one of our beloved things. I don't have much at the moment, but I only have this personal dagger, so I'll give it to you." ." As he spoke, he raised his hand and took off Sope's golden sheath dagger from his waist.
