Chapter 515: Holy Water

With a foundation of trust, the rest of the conversation is much more enjoyable.

I have to say that the personality of men in the Western Regions is much more straightforward than that of the Tang Dynasty.

No, there is no need for Li Zhi to knock on the side, Hisham will explain it on his own.

For example, the existence of the holy stone, Li Zhi gave it to him but it has a huge effect, he is the leader of the tribe himself, with the holy stone in hand, it is equivalent to the identity recognized by Allah, which is conducive to further consolidating his position as the head.

Moreover, when Li Zhi talked about the future trade exchanges between the two countries, he waved his hand and promised Li Zhi two big ships.

Listening to his description, it was much bigger than Shengjing Zero, which caught Li Zhi off guard.

I wanted to get up and thank him in the same way, but who would have thought that Nasir said on the side: "Mr. Li, this is one of Princess Afifa's dowries, and he just added one more." ”

"Really? What else is the dowry? When he said this, he laughed to himself, as if this question was a little inappropriate.

Nasir didn't seem to think so much, "Your court has brought a lot of dowries to our emperor, but this is a little different from the customs of the empire. According to Shari'ah, it is not Islamic to ask for a high dowry or dowry. The Prophet Muhammad once said: "The one who gives the least dowry will have the most auspicious celebrations." Because the high dowry and dowry can become an obstacle to marriage and go against the original purpose of marriage, it will encourage young men and women to maintain purity and integrity, and to maintain the purity of the individual and society. ”

Sunnah means hadith, which later developed into an Islamic term for Muhammad's words and deeds and the words and deeds of his followers.

Moreover, when he called the Prophet Muhammad, he also recited some tunes similar to those before Hisham, which should be Allah's best knowledge and may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, which was also not translated.

"But Mr. Li's identity is the same as Princess Afifa, it belongs to the marriage between countries, and the exchange of gifts is a diplomatic etiquette, which is not a deviation from the orthodox path of Islam, so Princess Afifa's dowry is also expensive, just the clothes and accessories necessary for life, bedding and the like, which is enough for decades."

Li Zhi put on an attitude of listening attentively, although he was quite reluctant to Nasir to repeat such a statement.

After listening to Amin's simultaneous translation, Hisham said: "The Arabs' own currency is gold coins, called dinars, and the royal family of your court even distributed tens of thousands of catties of gold ore in the dowry, just to facilitate the creation of our dinars!" The imperial family was extremely satisfied, and unanimously discussed that there would be a return of the same value of national treasures, but I don't know exactly what it is, and this time I only brought a small part! ”

Li Zhi suddenly didn't feel how cumbersome it was to communicate with them, "Helping you improve your cultivation is even my personal gift, as for the other members of the royal family, I will visit your country one by one soon." ”

Hisham looked sincere, "Sir, this great gift is like reconstruction, Ah Ming knows the importance of a king in my country, the Eastern Earth Datang is really worthy of a cultivation power, just the people around Mr., there are dozens of kings, right?" It's worth the entire empire! ”

Li Zhi deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the realm of Ah Ming and I have surpassed the king, we are a family, the court doesn't know, just tell you this, you have to keep it a secret for me!" ”

Hisham's expression went from momentary astonishment to horror in the blink of an eye, a news that Amin had never mentioned to himself.

Despite being together all the way, the two also have a deep friendship, and Amin has never wanted to explain it himself, obviously tabooing some potential rules.

Li Zhineng told him about this, which made Hisham turn from shock to gratitude after a moment: "Yes, yes, this is only our private secret, thank you Mr. Li for your trust!" ”

Li Zhi's voice was still very low, "There are still many existences on the ground of Datang that surpass the king, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen, but this is what our court is deeply afraid of, and this is also the reason why I deliberately concealed it." ”

Hisham was so bluffed that he nodded frequently, as if he thought he was very close to Li Zhi. Didn't show any other expressions.

But Nasir Ke next to him was deeply frightened, because he had already carefully investigated Li Zhi, and vaguely knew that this person's strength should be much higher than that of ordinary masters.

Including Amin, the kind of detached attitude in front of masters, he has not seen it once or twice, and now when he hears this kind of news, he is inevitably worried about his country.

At the same time, I am also glad that Afifa actually brought such two figures to the Arab Empire at once, which should be a blessing in misfortune.

Although he is not a cultivator, he has eaten and seen a lot on weekdays, and he also knows that the legendary duke is a mythical existence, if he is remembered by such a person, maybe there will not be a long-term hiding place in the world.

Nasir believed that he should not believe the other party's words, nor should he believe them all.

There are master-level guardians around him, this time Li Zhi brought back the Jiyuan Daoist, as well as the Xianfeng host and Chengbi Daoist who he saw on the wedding day, all of whom are extremely strong people who can't see through the cultivation of the masters around him.

Therefore, he believed Li Zhi's words for six or seven percent, but he didn't know that his psychological fluctuations had already been perceived by Li Zhi around him in time.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "There are too many guests tonight, I need to take care of everywhere and talk about it later!" ”

Even if the purpose of his departure is to leave the two of them with the opportunity to inquire about Amin, he can also take advantage of this to test Amin's loyalty.

Sure enough, after he left, the two of them started an interrogation of Amin, although Li Zhi couldn't understand Arabic, but from the expressions of the three people, as well as psychological ups and downs, he found out that eight or nine were not far from ten.

When he put his mind down and paid attention to other positions, he saw Zhang Xu who was looking for someone to drink everywhere, and he was followed by the old man and Fu Chen, and unconsciously, these three people seemed to be very in love.

Especially Fu Chen, he has always been used to being alone, but he didn't expect that under his greedy appearance, there was this kind of true temperament hidden.

Li Zhi can naturally find out whether Lao Qi and Fu Chen have used cultivation to suppress the strength of the wine, but they are holding a high degree of Xifeng wine in their hands, and they only see their true temperament after drinking, which is not an exaggeration.

Walking up to Li Yi's side, Li Zhi opened his mouth to blame: "You don't know what happened to Zhang Xu's kid?" Just watching them coax and coax, I don't know how to take care of it? ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly: "I said brother-in-law, Fu Chen and the two of them were originally distinguished guests from afar, how can you say that I still intervene?" But I admire them very much, if the two ladies were not pregnant, they would have joined them, this is called a man, it is worth befriending! ”

Li Zhi automatically ignored the other words, "The two ladies are also happy?" Haha, congratulations! I said you're so honest tonight, you don't smell of alcohol on you! ”

"I love to listen to my brother-in-law's words, I've been holding it all night, since you have spoken, my father can't say anything, I'll accompany you for a few bowls!"

"If you come less, one bowl is enough, how many bowls are there? Besides, you're all in the realm of a master, and you're still worried about being scolded after drinking? ”

"Shhhh You still open a wine shop, I don't know if you drink high, and if you suppress it with cultivation, you will lose the fun of drinking? Didn't I see Uncle Chengbi endure it? Moreover, this is a wine problem, wine shows character, I don't know such a simple truth, you don't lie to me! ”

Li Zhi hehehe, how could he not know, he just wanted to use this to teach his brother-in-law a lesson, and he never wanted to be despised in turn.

Thinking about Li Yi a few years ago, he was also a big man, and the five poisons accounted for at least four of them, although he is much more stable now, the pride in his bones still exists, otherwise how could he envy Zhang Xu who is like a drunken man.

But he didn't want to care about him tonight, since the last time he was in Ezhou City, every time Li Yi talked about this happy event, he naturally just learned about it.

He himself was in the same situation, and the joy in his heart was deeply felt, and he should also celebrate.

On the road to Chang'an, he has asked Lao Yu to change his surname to Li, the surname of Qiguan is rare, even if only one word is removed, it is easy to relate, if someone has a heart to check it, it is not difficult, which will bring trouble to the family of Qi Guan.

The four of them have not yet returned, and it is estimated that they will have to wait until Sun Simiao is sent away, and he plans to get up early in the morning and rush to go.

Lao Mingwang and Master Tan left early, and there was not much special care on the scene.

So after talking to some officials for a while, he returned to the three halal tables inside.

Obviously, when they went out, these aliens also let go a little, and they followed the local customs, and all kinds of red wine were openly placed on the table, and they toasted one by one, and Li Zhicai sat next to Hisham.

Hisham was still thinking about Li Zhi's question just now, "Mr. Li, I asked just now, some of the dowry gifts brought this time are sealed, and the content has just been heard, it seems to be some Arabic specialties, such as waist knives, desert roses, gold jewelry, dates, and some gold and silver ornaments. One of the most precious is the holy water from Mecca, which is 100 catties, and ordinary people are very lucky to ask for a few drops! ”

Mecca is the holiest place in Islam and is famous because it was there that Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born.

A holy spring on the southeast side of the Kelbai Temple in the Holy Mosque is the only place where the holy water comes from, and it is well-known in the world.

Of course, there will be an equally famous old legend along with the holy spring, so I won't repeat them all here.

Almost the most devout believers in the world go to Mecca every year to worship, and they also take great pains to bring the spring water back to their homeland as the most valuable gift to relatives and friends, and share the blessings of the holy land.

You must know that there are thousands of miles of boundless vast desert around it, and it will take several months to go back and forth.

Therefore, the holy water received from there is regarded by them as a blessing from Allah, and only the most noble and dearest people can receive the gift of holy water.

Undoubtedly, Li Zhi understands their customs, but he is quite unimpressed in his heart, and even wonders if he will try to use them to make tea, and whether there will be other surprises.

But in the blink of an eye he meditated on his sins, his sins, and he was very troubled by his thoughts of blaspheming holy water.

So he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Hisham.

Hisham didn't know his state of mind, and thought that he was moved by the holy water, and he was even more impressed with him.

And what Li Zhi thought was that it would be good to keep it as a thought for Afeifa, who couldn't return home for a long time, maybe adding a few drops of Shi Yuan liquid would make it possible to preserve it for a long time.

He even thought about it in an instant, and built a pool in the territory of Chaoyuan Secret, which was specially used to store holy water.

"Most of the dowries will come with the Imperial Envoy Mahdi!" Hisham thought very persistently, and continued to introduce, "Mr. Li also knows that we are in a desert area, and there are too few things produced locally, and Montzil also said that before leaving, he heard that the emperor was sending people to buy some special products from surrounding countries, such as ivory, rhino horn pearls, gemstones, coral, frankincense, ambergris and other spices, tortoiseshell and other materials, and exported them to Datang after purchase!" ”

Monzier was a fellow official in the group, and Li Zhi did not remember the specific position, but in short, he was almost a person like the general manager of Ouchi.

Afraid that he would not be able to explain it again, Li Zhi hurriedly said: "The emperor is honored to have this heart, where do you dare to work so hard to mobilize the people, I will give another gift to the lord at that time." ”

Let's talk about it. Hurry up and raise the wine glass in your hand to attract the rich pouring in Kaishisham's eyes!
