Chapter 73

Title: Kazakhstan

Summary: But there is a prayer-like woman called 'Husinasi' who can talk to the gods

"Well, didn't you come here specifically to find me? A while ago, people from the Tianyi Sect came to look for me, and I'm still guessing who it would be." Chu Ming asked, "Li Ping, who are you bringing?"

"Shi Mu, a friend." I simply replied, "You can go back to Caoshi Town."

Chu Ming frowned: "I'm afraid that Yan will catch me."

"Yan Butou was knocked out so easily by you, because he deliberately let you go." I said, "After you left, he didn't file a case for you. Mrs. Liu Wu is missing, and she won't be able to stand up."

As soon as Chu Ming changed his half-death, he cheered up: "Then let's go back to Chang'an City together?"

Shi Mu interrupted: "Go, Kazakh."

"Lend me your money?" Chu Ming stretched out his hand.Shi Mu put five taels of silver ingots into his hands.

Chu Ming ran away in a hurry: "Then I'll wait for your reunion in Caoshi Town!" His back was dusty.

And Shi Mu said to me: "You are laughing." The warmth contained in his words is enough to melt the sand into the sea of ​​snow.

That night we stayed in a residential house and returned to Jincheng, the capital of Liangzhou, two days later.In the evening we stayed in the previous inn.Shi Mu said, "Ask Xu Heng." I said, "Are you going to Liangzhou to divide the altar?" He placed a palm thunder in the courtyard of the inn: "Ten Yama, come see me."

An hour later, Shi Yanluo knocked on the door of the room and said, "This subordinate joins the leader." He was wearing a tiger-skin gown with a lapel collar and narrow sleeves, black high boots, and a high nose and deep eyes.Shi Mu pointed at me and said, "Li Ping, Dr. Li." Shi Yanluo smiled: "Doctor Li, don't the barbarians in Liangzhou believe in Heaven and One Teaching?"

I said, "I'm so sorry for staring at you. In fact, my biological mother is also a barbarian."

Shi Mu asked, "Bacchus?"

"Reporting to the Lord, I have already entrusted the silk caravan of the Kazakh Khanate to find Dionysus. There is no news yet. I distributed palm mines to the caravan and asked to bring a message. Dionysus will return when he sees it. The one I was looking for last time Chu Ming is in Mingsha Mountain. There are five towns in Mingsha Mountain, and the people below found it in six days, and spent the remaining four days on the way back and forth. After all, the Kazakh Khanate on the Chaqin Grassland has millions of people and three major tribes Big Yuzi Ula, Zhong Yuzi Ortu, and Little Yuzi Chizik, the search took longer."

Shi Mu said, "I know." I asked, "So there is no Kazakh sub-altar on the grassland?" Shi Yanluo looked at Shi Mu.Shi Mu said: "But it doesn't matter." Shi Yanluo said: "No, because the Kazakhs don't believe in heaven and one religion, but believe in their shamanism and respect gods." Yan Luo said: "No, they think that the sky is a great god, called a god. Other gods are under the command of the gods. The belts of the gods in the sky are tied around their necks. People are between heaven and earth, so their belts are tied around their waists. People put belts on their feet." I said: "Then there are no temples and prayers?" Shi Yanluo said: "Yes, there are no temples, and the Kazakhs offer sacrifices in mountains, rivers and lakes. But there are women who are similar to prayers, called ' Husinasi', able to converse with the gods."

Shi Mu said, "How long have you been looking for Dionysus?" Shi Yanluo shook his head, "I don't know, I'll see the leader when I find it." Shi Mu said, "Okay, wait."

And we waited four months.

On January [-]th of the eighth year of Yongxi, Shi Yanluo came to the inn again.In the courtyard of the inn, he said: "Report to the lord, Dionysus said that he and his... Kazakh lover are waiting for you in the Saishanbie market in Ortu Yuz." For some reason, Shiyan paused for a while when talking about lovers.

Shi Mu asked: "Going to Oertu, with the caravan?" Ten Yama said: "Yes, the people in the caravan are outside the inn, and I have already arranged it." I asked: "Want to ride a camel again?" Ten Yama said Smile: "Mingsha Mountain has many deserts, so if you want to go, it's best to ride a camel. To go to the grassland, you should ride a horse." Shi Mu nodded: "Okay, you go back." Shi Yanluo turned out of the inn, vigorously.

When we went outside the inn, there were two matching pommel horses. A businessman said on the other horse, "My name is Yao Daofu, and I am the leader of the caravan leading the way for you. Are you two Shi Mu and Li Ping?" Shi Mu said: " Yes." I said, "Yes, my name is Li Ping, and I am a doctor." The two of us got on the horse.These three horses are not tall horses, they are not big, with thick bodies and limbs.

On the way out of Jincheng, Yao Daofu turned his head and said, "Although this horse is simple and doesn't run fast, but it is thirst-resistant and not picky about food. It is most suitable to go to the grassland. The grassland is still half deserted at the moment." We and the caravan Meet and go to the Kazakh grassland.

Occasionally, the sea of ​​clouds is vast during the day, and there is often a bright moon out of the grassland at night.At the end of February we reached the steppes belonging to the Ortu tribe.The caravan camped by the lake.In the distance, there are some white yurts next to each other, all of which are domed on the top and columns on the bottom.The people in the caravan were picking up dried cow dung to make a fire. I asked, "Why are those yurts next to each other?" Yao Daofu said, "Families of the same family will not be separated when they move for water and grass."

A flock of white swans fell on the lake.Six or seven girls ran over from the yurt in the distance, shouting: "Kazakh! Kazakh!" and ran to the lake to play happily.They wore flat hats with dark brown feathers on top.The inside is white, with square patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.Outside, they wear black, red, and green waistcoats, with silver buttons on the front of the waistcoat, and a double-layer lace pleated skirt underneath.Yao Daofu lit the fire, and Shi Mu asked, "What's the hair on the hat?" Yao Daofu got angry and said, "Their hats are the feathers of the night owl. The night owl is an ominous bird in the Central Plains, but it is auspicious for the Kazakhs. "The people in the caravan set up pots to cook.A young man looked at the girls and said: "Those girls who have silver buttons on their breasts are unmarried. When I save enough gifts, I want to marry a Kazakh girl. 77 mules and horses can marry the most beautiful one in their family. Yao Daofu said: "As long as you sell your goods well, you can save enough. At that time, build a new yurt and buy new household items. The yurt is filled with the bride's dowry, all kinds of embroidery, embroidery and appliques. How beautiful are you?" The young man laughed.Yao Daofu suddenly said to me: "Li Ping, we want to sell this batch of goods in Wulaiyuzi, and I heard that the price there is higher. In another day, we will go to the Cezanbe market. Can you go by yourself?" Said: "The journey is not far, but what if we don't know Kazakh?" Yao Daofu said: "Remember to ask 'Saishanbe Bazar', you can find it. Take out the broken silver when you eat, and gesture a lot."

The swan flew away.The girl not far away went back.Shi Mu asked: "Kazakh, what's your name?" I agreed: "Well, it's weird to call my own ethnicity. I have never seen others call myself: 'Han people! Han people!'"

"Hahahaha..." Yao Daofu laughed, "Kazakh means white swan. It is said that the first time Han people saw a Kazakh, they chased the white swan and called Kazakh, so the Han people called them Kazakh. But There is nothing wrong with this name, they think they are descendants of white swans." I said, "Ancestors are white swans?" Yao Daofu said, "Well, in the stories of the Kazakhs, men who used to be brave and good at fighting could marry many women. My lady. During the battle to protect the territory, a young leader was wounded. Because of wounds, heat and thirst, he was dying. At this time, a white swan came down from the sky, brought medicine and rain, and became a beautiful woman. A young girl rescued him. The leader fell in love with her, but the white swan said: "You will marry many women. Although I like you, I don't want to share you with others." So the leader ordered that from now on men can only Married a woman. After that, White Swan stayed and married him. They also named their eldest son Kazakh." Shi Mu said, "Story, in summer." Yao Daofu said, "Ah, it's hot, it's It's summer time. I never thought of that."
