Chapter 717: The Betrothal Ceremony

A bronze mirror with multicolored gold inlays sits on a wooden dresser, with a guqin standing on one side, and a tassel on top of its head, which is gently swaying in the wind as the door opens.

Maask is a windy city, and this was deeply realized by Li Yi's entourage as he turned the last sand dunes outside the city.

Although the carriage was tightly closed at that time, and the thick wooden curtains were closed, the sharp wind still seemed to roar in the ears, and the wind was so strong that it seemed to be about to sweep into the clouds at any time, which made the newcomers of the Tang Dynasty a little frightened.

At this moment, when the wind is at its most inconspicuous, when you open the door, you can feel the whining sound like the wind passing through the hall, so in Afifa's room, there are wind chimes that rarely appear in that era, and the tassels hanging down from the roof, and the crisp sound of jingling jade vibration.

"Do you still have wind chimes here? This is a Dharma instrument derived from Buddhism, and there shouldn't be anything Buddhist here? Li Zhi said strangely.

Afifa smiled: "I don't know what Buddhist magic weapons are, this is still my own compilation!" At that time, my father gave me a pile of broken jade, and one day on a whim, I strung it with a thin string and hung it in the wind, and the effect was surprisingly good. For a long time, I have been accumulating all kinds of broken jade, and it has become what it is now! ”

Her tone was soft, as if she had endless memories of her childhood, and the meaning on her face was still unfinished, indicating that her childhood life was happy.

Aisha seemed to have entered this house for the first time, her eyes were full of curiosity, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the round bed, and opened her hand to touch the strings of wind chimes that could be reached.

"Why don't we rest here tonight and try the beauty of the round bed!" Li Zhi's words were full of anticipation.

Afifa blushed and pushed him to the next room to change his clothes, "It's better to avoid it, a good room of childhood memories, how can you, how can you let its taste deteriorate!" ”

Li Zhi said strangely while changing clothes, "How can it be called deterioration?" Without such behavior, where did childhood come from! ”

Outside the room, Afeifa said: "Don't say it again, this place carries the carefree of my childhood, often staying at home for three or two days, I like the cleanliness and crisp wind chimes in the room!" ”

Li Zhi immediately shut up and didn't say anything, but suddenly thought of something, and finally couldn't help but speak again: "Why don't we call Qingqi and them too, let's see here together, and when our children are born in the future, we will also create a similar childhood environment!" ”

With a "ah" in his mouth, Afifa was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good idea, maybe I can move this place into the secret realm as a whole, and I can see it from time to time!" However, at this time, Sister Qingqi and their appearance here is a little difficult to explain, right? ”

"At night, I won't give up here even if you say anything today, I really want to try this big bed!" Li Zhi's attitude is very persistent.

Afifa seemed to hesitate for a long time before he spoke: "Wouldn't it be okay if you don't go back to the secret realm at night and leave?" We haven't shown up in days! ”

"We can try it first, and then we can pick them up!" At this time, Li Zhi had already changed his clothes and walked out, just when he saw Afeifa's shy look.

Suddenly seeing Li Zhi appear, Afifa's cheeks turned even redder, nodded quickly, and turned to respond to Aisha's request for help.

Looking at the figure of one big and one half kneeling on the bed, untying the winding wind chimes, Li Zhi was a little stupid for a while!

When she returned to the front hall, Aisha got into Li Zhi's arms again, and hugged her all the way, seeing a very happy scene.

Queen Izdihar appeared, for suddenly she had changed her young and terrible face, and was surrounded by the figures of the ladies.

It was Mahdi and several other uncles, who also kept snorting in their mouths, which satisfied Izdihar's huge vanity.

The dignity and humility among the royal family members here are far less strict than those in the Tang royal family, and at this time, Izdihar is also less graceful than in the past, and his mouth is endless, and he is not much different from the big and small aunts who are chattering around him.

Adan could even occasionally hand a few jokes on the side, which seemed to make Izdihar throw a half-charming, half-angry look from time to time, and feel very happy.

King Ming said in a low voice after Li Zhi came: "Actually, I admire such a family atmosphere, but it's a pity that our Tang Dynasty has formed a clear distinction since the royal family, and the hierarchy is like a strict law, where is there still a trace of family affection from the same clan surnamed Li!" ”

Li Zhi smiled indifferently: "The more perfect the monarchy, the more stringent this class will be, whether you are old or not, but it is the trend of history, and it is no longer allowed to be arbitrary in such a state, otherwise it will be a reversal of civilization!" ”

King Ming thought so, "The majesty of the king cannot be blasphemed, and it cannot shock the world without authority, it is an irreversible historical torrent, and I do take it for granted!" ”

"Therefore, I will not force my descendants to step into the official career, politics is full of falsehood and cruelty for me, and no matter how powerful it is, it is far better to live in a corner and share the joy of family with my family!"

Li Zhi's words were not as extreme as the slightest spirit, but as plain as a breeze, and his face was comfortable.

King Ming sighed: "That's because you didn't have that kind of family atmosphere, just like the sixteen cousins of Emperor Merik, seeing that the emperor's brother is in danger, can you still stand by and watch without heart and lungs?" Of course, there is a premise, their brothers can always hug each other like this! ”

"Old man, I just said casually, even if they are not from the royal family and do not worry about food and clothing, how many people can really live that ideal life? It's also just a wish for my future! Li Zhi said with a smile.

At this time, Izdihar finally had the opportunity to find his uncle, "Text, the king wants me to ask you, tonight's grand banquet will be held in the Gongge Palace, is there even the engagement ceremony?" ”

Knowing the importance of this kind of ritual in Muslim countries, Li Zhi would certainly not refuse, and three days later it would be the wedding day, so he couldn't call another participant tomorrow, otherwise he would not be able to bear the suffering of the cultivators after a few days of reviving the teacher and mobilizing the crowd.

This was what he originally wanted, but it was not good to exert influence on this matter, and now that the woman's family took the initiative, it was the best.

After receiving the response, Izdihar was very satisfied and found King Ming, and King Ming quickly beckoned Sasher, Fu Chen, Zuo San, Feng Si, and several Tang officials.

And Izdihar is more like a housekeeper, with a detailed introduction to everything, and those who don't know will never be able to see her queen's identity.

These things have nothing to do with Li Zhi, and when the time comes, he only needs to follow the guidance of the master of ceremonies, and Fawaz will have the opportunity to come and thank him.

Mahdi asked him to bow down in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Zhi insisted on refusing.

Today's Fawaz has not only successfully advanced to the master level, but there will be infinite development possibilities in the future, but if there is no follow-up spiritual object provided by Li Zhi, the peak of the third-level master will be the focus of his cultivation.

He didn't plan to elevate it to the Grandmaster realm at the moment, after all, the alliance between the two countries seemed to be in the honeymoon period, but for political reasons, this appearance would instantly turn into nothingness.

Especially the Anshi Rebellion a few decades later, that era was also the end of the history of the Umayyad Dynasty.

He didn't want to cultivate a powerful enemy country powerhouse for Datang, but Ah Ming didn't have such concerns, this person would never openly be an enemy of Datang.

At that time, I was afraid that he led the masters of the cultivation world and entered the cultivation realm, and I was afraid that the grandmaster realm had really become a legend at that time, and he had to guard against such an urgent matter.

Fawaz didn't know that Li Zhi had all kinds of psychological changes in an instant, and he was immersed in boundless joy at the moment.

Not only did he never expect that he would be able to enter the king level one day, but also because the suspicion between him and his family was eliminated.

He was not ignorant of the transformation of his physique, and it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the nervous state when Mahdi was in tears outside the door.

So after getting his wish in practice, he also felt the good intentions of his family, and after his cultivation was broadened, he was followed by open-mindedness, and at this time, he was asked to recall his childhood ten years of spiritual experience, which was already an indispensable lifelong benefit.

Of course, the giver of all this is still Li Zhi, who was originally a lofty existence in his eyes, and since then it has become an unforgettable grace for him.

Aisha in Li Zhi's arms was always silent, but she was interested in absorbing the Chinese exchanges between several parties, raising her little face from time to time, and observing Li Zhi's expression at that time, that kind of adoring look was no less than Pang Cry back then.

Soon with the departure of Izdihar, more and more local officials came in and out, and they were the specific operators of the very low official positions, and they were doing various customs with the people of the Tang Dynasty for the night engagement ceremony.

And Afifa was also picked up by the palace early, carefully dressed for the grand ceremony in the evening, and Aisha was naturally taken away together, and it was only after her sister's persuasion that she was reluctant to leave.

The chaos at the scene made Li Zhi walk to the top floor of the palace, where he could see the perimeter of the palace in a radius of more than ten miles.

At this time, away from it and Xinjingshan, he sat on the protruding platform mountain to push the cup and change the lamp, of course, it could not be that kind of high liquor, even if it was some fruit wine, he was trying to avoid it.

Although the wind is constant all year round, the hot weather here is not as hot as Brin to the extreme, and it is the same winter as Datang, but it is far comparable to Datang summer.

It is said that the winter here is after the second month of the Gregorian calendar, and the summer does not pass through the spring.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Zhi stood at the highest point and poked out his divine sense, not far from the palace, is the Umayyad Mosque under construction, Li Zhi vaguely remembered that the construction site that had just had the prototype of a tower-like tower, had the general outline of the landmark building of Masscus that had existed for more than a thousand years.

Since its completion, it has been a sacred place for Muslims to worship and interpret the Qur'an, and it still stands like a mountain after several battles.

Mascus is one of the earliest cities of human civilization, with a beautiful natural environment, and the early Aramaic people chose to build their cities here.

She was once occupied by the Romans, until Emperor Merric led an Arab army into the city, driving the Romans back to their European homeland, and implementing a policy of tolerance there.

Therefore, the various sects in Mascus have always respected the Abdul royal family.

The mosque, which was jointly funded by the royal family and those sectarian forces, has since become a history of the development of human religion, from the polytheistic worship of primitive society, to the Christianity of believing in the one true God, and finally to the development of the holy temple of Islam.

Li Zhi had already noticed it on the way here, although perhaps ten years later, this magnificent building the size of a city would show its eternal true appearance, but it did not prevent him from experiencing the extraordinary in this future architectural treasure with his heart at this time.

Between the Umayyad mosque and the palace are countless alleys, deep into which are old porcelain, simple carpets, open-air cafes and small restaurants, as well as people sitting leisurely to pass the time.

Li Zhi's finger was a piece, talking about the plan to explore tomorrow, Xin Jingshan said happily: "Brother Li has taken me to go once, but I didn't visit a few stores, I was surrounded by people to see a rarity, and the two of us couldn't understand the language here, so they fled back in embarrassment!" ”
