711 Life is a sacrifice
Three days passed in a flash.
After flying alone to keep the palace, except for Ajiu and Visuthava came to meet him at the beginning, but no one else disturbed him. In the early morning of the third day, after the rest of the breathing of the solo, the palace maids had already presented clean clothes and prepared hot water for the petals.
Although seeking God means being sincere, some complicated etiquette is inevitable. I flew alone into the countryside and followed the customs, and knew that although Ajiu asked God to show his spirit, he would not be out of the matter. The palace maid was so prepared that he obviously asked him to dress up.
After washing alone, another servant tidied up his instruments. After finishing the cleaning, the servants and palace maids didn't say much, but their eyes were full of surprise.
I have always had few twilight styles when I flew alone, but after finishing it, I was really energetic and extraordinary.
After a little breakfast, a soldier had arrived in front of the solo under the guidance of the palace servant. The soldier was light and simple, with a look of mixed Chinese and Western blood. He spoke in fluent Central Plains, "Sir, Deputy King, please go to the King Temple first."
Shanfei knew that Sula was Vesutva's deputy, and he would have done his best to prepare for the spiritual prayer in the past few days. Listening to Sula's visit, Shanfei was about to take the opportunity to see the Wang Temple. Hearing the soldier called him "The Lord", Shanfei thought to myself that I am not an official from Kushan, you are so kind to call me like this.
He followed the soldier to the outside of the palace. The soldier brought a good horse and smiled and said with a pity: "This is a sweat-blooded horse presented from Dayuan. It was originally the mount of the deputy king. The deputy king said that Lord Shan was a distinguished guest and should be greeted by a good horse. The deputy king was very polite to Lord Shan like this."
Seeing the soldier very active, he asked, "I wonder what you call me?"
"You are polite, Mr. Shan, just call me Zhang Wen." The soldier said hurriedly.
Solo was surprised, "Zhang Wen, does this look like a surname from the Central Plains?" He knew that Sula and Visutva were all transliterations, but the Zhang surname had very characteristics of the Central Plains.
Zhang Wen said happily: "Master Shan just guessed it. The ancestors of Beizhi were indeed from the Central Plains. The family of Beizhi's mother came to Kushan with Yuezhi, but they did not return to the Central Plains with their ancestors. Many years have passed, Beizhi is still thinking about the Central Plains, but he feels that he is not familiar with the place and has stayed here."
Shanfei nodded and did not ask too much. He thought that if Zhang Wen's mother's family moved to Kushan with Yuezhi, then the changes that have been going on for hundreds of years have passed. No matter which ancestor Zhang Wen was, the descendants of the Central Plains would find it difficult to recognize Zhang Wen.
As Zhang Wen spoke, he also turned over a war horse and led the way to the south of the city.
The two left the south of the city, and there were mountains in front of them. Although they were not tall and steep, the mountain was also very imposing.
"Sir Shan, the King Temple is on the Minoan Mountain in front of it, and it is very magnificent." Zhang Wen introduced as if he was afraid of flying alone and loneliness.
Solo raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured: "Minos..." He felt a little familiar for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Seeing this, Zhang Wen said, "This mountain has a long history. It existed long before Peshawar. I heard from the old man that Minos means oaths and promises. The Kushan built the King Temple here, which probably means that even if it is the King of Kushan, it should mean that even if it is the King of Kushan, it should be worth a thousand gold."
Shan Fei looked at Zhang Wen after hearing this. Zhang Wen looked a little embarrassed, but he still said, "The deputy king has been in a bad mood these days. If Lord Shan loses his temper later, please take care of him."
What is this boy reminding me?
I thought solo, but I didn't say anything more. Mount Minos is not far from Peshawar City. Both of them rode fast horses. Before the sun broke through the horizon, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up, he flew solo and his heart was slightly shocked.
Zhang Wen was alert and immediately asked, "Sir Shan, what's wrong?"
Shanfei slightly endured the excitement in his heart and shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just feel a little familiar with this Wang Temple."
The Wang Temple is built against the mountain and is composed of many magnificent buildings with staggered heights. At first glance, you can feel that the mountain is a temple and the temple is a mountain. The entire Wang Temple complex is very majestic, and all the buildings are built along the mountain, without any disharmonious feeling. There is also a colonnade connection between the various buildings.
The columns of the colonnade are simple and elegant, with solemn and stable, without any extra patterns. All the columns are red column bodies and black column heads. Looking around, it is like seeing countless mighty warriors standing in red armor and black helmets standing among the mountain roads, guarding a pure land.
The architectural styles of this Wang Temple are completely different from the Central Plains. When you fly alone, you will be shocked. He has a good understanding of both Chinese and Western architecture. When he first saw this Wang Temple, he recognized which style is very similar to.
This royal temple actually looks very much like the Greek Palace of Milos!
The Palace of Milos originated from the Milos civilization. The Milos civilization originated on the Crete island in the Aegean Sea, Greece. There is the ruins of the Palace of Milos halfway up the mountain on Crete. The name Milos originated from the Cretan king Minos in ancient Greek mythology, and the Palace of Milos is naturally the palace built by this king.
Although I knew that Kushan was affected by the intersection of Chinese and Western civilizations, I also knew that there were even archaeological sites of Greek temple buildings in Kushan. But when I suddenly saw the Greek Palace of Milos suddenly appear here like a copy, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Have you been here?" Zhang Wen blinked.
Solo, shook his head and turned over and walked up the mountain road paved with bluestone with Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen took Dan Fei to follow the passage built by the corridor column and turned left and right, and couldn't help but remind him again: "Sir Shan, the architecture here is very complicated. If you haven't been here before, you will easily get lost when you walk around."
He flew solo and said "yes".
After walking for a while, Zhang Wen took him solo to a house, patted the door knocker, and heard Sula's voice coming from the room, "Come in."
When she walked into the room, she saw Sula facing away from her back to her, facing the carving paintings of the wall ahead. Seeing Sula being so stunning, she couldn't help but look up, and her face changed slightly.
The murals in front are colorful, and you can see that they are similar to the mural style of the Greek Milos civilization period. The murals seem to tell a story.
I flew solo and didn't understand what the story was saying for a while, but I saw a monster standing in the middle, which looked very strange.
"Soloy, I never knew you were such a stern person. Are you still as if nothing happened yet?" Sura turned around, her eyes red and her voice was hoarse.
Flying alone, I felt a little bit cold in my heart.
After not seeing each other for three days, Sula seemed to have changed her own person. Sula was a few years older than him and was also a man with excellent demeanor, but at this moment Sula's eyes were covered with bloodshots and white hair was mixed in his temples.
Although I knew that many people worked hard and had a long hair all night, I was surprised to see Sula looking like this: "What's wrong with you?"
Sula stepped forward, clenched her fists, and her clothes were free from wind, which showed that she was extremely excited, "Why don't you pay attention to me, but what did I ask for you?"
"You ask me to think about Ajiu's affairs carefully." Shanfei frowned.
"If you think carefully, just let her die?" Sula yelled angrily. She had already arrived in front of Solo Fei and slapped Solo Fei in the face.
How could he be soloed and hit him in the face? He reached out and grabbed Sula's wrist, "What did you say? How could I let Ajiu die?"
He was really surprised. It was obvious that Sula looked like this and knew that things were definitely not as simple as Qi Ling.
Although Sura was one of the few warriors in Kushan, she was caught by solo, and it was like being wrapped in an iron hoop. After struggling for a few times, Sura was unable to break free and shouted, "Don't you really know?"
As he spoke, he raised his knee and pushed his lower abdomen solo.
Solo Fei shook his hand and threw Sula a long time ago. Naturally, his knee did not reach Solo Fei. Seeing that Sula was about to rush over, Solo Fei said coldly: "If I can solve Ajiu's problem by killing me, then you can do it."
Sula was stunned, but finally stopped and shouted again: "You really don't know?"
"What do you think I should know?" Shanfei frowned and said, "What have you told me? It was my first time in Peshawar, and what should I know?"
Seeing that Sula was a little hesitant, she flew solo and immediately said, "What's the problem with Ajiu Qiling?"
Sula glared at the flying solo, as if she wanted to see the true or falsehood of what he said, and finally said after a while: "Don't you know that if her prayer for the spirit is not effective, she will sacrifice blood to the heaven. If it still doesn't work, she might have to pay her life?"
Shanfei was really surprised. He knew that the bloody sacrifice of heaven has been used since ancient times, but it was a sacrifice of livestock. Seeing Ajiu's confident look, Shanfei never thought that the Kushan praying spirit would be so dangerous, and said anxiously: "Why did she take her life?"
As soon as he said that, he understood a little.
As he expected, Sula hissed: "A Jiu is a Kushan goddess, and it can be regarded as the faith of Yuezhi. If she is not effective, it will definitely make the Kushan people dissatisfied. Wuxihou and the Kushan king are in harmony with each other, and at that time they will definitely force the Kushan king to abdicate with Ajiu's affairs. Don't you know that when the Kushan king could ascend to the throne, it was said that the gods were blessed. If the gods were not protected, the Kushan king's position could be said to be in danger. Ajiu loved only two people most in his life, one was you, and the other was her eldest brother, Kushan king."
Shan Fei's heart trembled slightly, "If Wu Xihou forced him, Ajiu must find a way to make the god appear for her elder brother? Is her last method to sacrifice blood to the sky?"
He knew that the ancients had a saying of blood sacrifice, which sounded nonsense, but he knew that if a person was a blood sacrifice, pain would make people's spirit reach another level.
To be spiritual, blood is not necessarily a medium, but an important means to stimulate the spirit.
"good."
Sula gritted her teeth and said, "She will do this for the sake of her elder brother, but she suddenly wants to communicate or for you. The person she is waiting for is you. In order to make you believe, she will use any method. You should have believed what she said, but I never thought you were so stupid..."
With a bitter nose, Sula said angrily: "You don't love her, but don't you know how much she loves you? How can you bear to someone who loves you so much? You want to force her into a dead end?"
Solo Fei's expression was slightly bitter, but he did not refute Sura's words. He took a breath, solo Fei quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Ajiu won't have anything to do, I won't let her have something to do. Don't worry, I won't let her have something to do."
His character of becoming more and more courageous as he sets down, and one sentence has calmed down Sura's excitement. Sura said with joy in anticipation: "How do you keep her safe?"
Shan Fei was silent for a long time, looking at the mural in front of him and said, "If I was not wrong, all this was my business, and all the arrangements were only for me." He raised his chest and Shan Fei restored his old calmness, "I will solve my affairs thoroughly and will not implicate innocent people!" (To be continued...)r
