The mountains here are very high, and to reach the top, you have to walk from morning to night.Between the mountains there are vast plains with lush vegetation, and the cleanest streams gushing out of the cracks in the rocks.These currents contain sturgeon and a variety of other high-quality fish.The air on the peaks is so clean and hygienic that anyone who lives in towns, plains and valleys can move to the top of the mountain and stay for three or four days to recover from fever, fever or other inflammation.I can prove this, because I have personal experience of the effectiveness of this kind of clean air, after I came to Shaye, I had a serious illness, and the local Taoist missionary advised me to live in a nearby mountain for a while, to change the air, and I followed the patriarch's method, and I was cured.Taoism is a very interesting religion, they believe that the colors of the world are black and white, just like the concept of the elements of wind, fire, earth, and water in the philosophy of the Hellenistic era, Taoism also believes that the world is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and unlike us, they require each of their missionaries to study medicine, astrology (astronomy), poetry, and music.Taoism places a strong emphasis on holistic development and the ability to face issues such as life and nature independently.It is said that the founder of Taoism was the ancestor of the Great Khan of Jiankun and Emperor Seris, and he left behind an extremely obscure philosophical masterpiece, and I looked through the Latin text of the Tao Te Ching, which was too profound to understand.........
On the seventh day of my arrival at Broken Leaves, the legendary Great Khan finally met me in the main hall of the royal palace, and this Great Khan was very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and wore a bright and gorgeous lilac tribute soft satin on his body, which reflected a faint light in the sun, and the form was very beautiful.The Great Khan wore a hat made of pearls that covered his face, but I could see that his complexion was very white, almost keeping up with the complexion of the girls of the Germanic barbarians, and if it weren't for the straight black hair, I would have thought he was a Germanic, and I didn't see the true face of the Great Khan that day, and then when he gave me a banquet, I was able to see his face, and I have to say that this Great Khan was an extremely beautiful man, yes, this beauty has gone beyond gender.......
The Great Khan received me with the utmost solemnity, and in his conversation with me I was astonished to find that the Great Khan knew a great deal about us Romans, even His Majesty the Emperor.What surprised me the most was that the Great Khan still knew the art of medicine, he knew about Celses's "Encyclopedia of Medicine", he also knew about Galen's "Three Aura", and even Pliny the Elder's "Natural History" he knew, and I even wondered if he had a teacher from Rome, otherwise he would not have been so familiar with the Roman Empire.When I asked what I thought of Sassanid Persia and our Rome, the Great Khan did not hesitate to point out that the Sassanids were barbarians, and that there were two great emperors in the world, one was the Emperor of Seris, from whom he was born, and the other was our Roman Emperor, and it was clear that the Great Khan had a high opinion of Rome.Although this Great Khan knows a lot about Rome, some things have changed when they reach him, such as the Battle of Yarmouc the year before last, our Roman army, under the leadership of Prince Diodora, broke the Persian army and captured hundreds of thousands of enemies, but the cunning Persians said that they killed Prince Diodora, and my Romans suffered heavy casualties, obviously this Great Khan is not omniscient!
(Narrator: I fucking know that there is no such thing as a certain religion that I am familiar with in my time and space, but that's fine, there is no group of people who can't get along with dolphins, and the conquest of the world by the old paper can be smoother!)
The author wants to nag, because of well-known reasons, I decided that in the time and space of this book, there is no onion head religion, and this sentence will not be mentioned again in the future!
）I handed the Great Khan a letter from His Majesty Heraclius, who made it clear that he was willing to form an alliance with us against the Kavad of Ctesiphon.As for the marriage mentioned by His Majesty Heraclius, the Great Khan said that he is currently preparing to marry the eldest daughter of His Majesty Emperor Seris, and has no plans to do so for the time being, and I can only express regret about this.I spent nearly a month in Broken Leaf City, during which time I had a good conversation with the Great Khan, and when he asked me why I called his home country the country of Seris, I replied that it was because we thought that in your country there was a small insect called Ser, and that Cell, who had eight legs, squatted on a tree and spun silk, and wrapped silk around its feet.The men took the silk down and took it home, and the women woventh it into silk.You are the land of silk, so we call you Serisstan; Personally, I think the Great Khan may be lying, because the Seris are clearly written in Greek history, "He was more than thirteen cubits tall and lived more than two hundred years!"
The skin is similar to that of a hippopotamus, so ten thousand arrows cannot enter" This great khan is less than four cubits tall, and his skin is crystal white and snow-white, which is far from that of a hippopotamus, how can it be a Seris?
(The cubit is a unit of measurement in ancient Greece, and a cubit is about half a meter.)The author didn't write nonsense, the ancient Greeks and ancient Romans looked at us Chinese people like this, they thought that the Chinese people were more than five meters tall, could live more than 200 years old, their skin was like iron, and their swords were inferior, and they were simply the giant spirit gods in Oriental mythology!
）After hearing my explanation, the Great Khan simply smiled, and then gave me ten bright silks, which, if I brought back to Constantinople, I would immediately receive ten thousand silver coins, and thanked the Great Khan for his generosity.After I had completed the assignment given by His Majesty Heraclius, and had established initial contact with the Great Khan of the Khan of the Kingdom of Jiankun, I was allowed to live in the city of Broken Leaf for a while, and I had time to get to know this city that was much larger than Constantinople, and that the city of Broken Leaf was composed of two cities, the left and right cities, through which the Chu River flowed, and that impressed me was the main hall in the palace of the Great Khan, which was very spacious enough to accommodate a large group of people for banquets.There are also a number of detached houses in the palace, which are extremely beautifully constructed and well laid out.Their entire plan is unimaginable today.The exterior of the roof is strong enough to stand the test of time, and it is also decorated with various colors such as red, green, blue, etc.The glass installed on the windows is also extremely delicate, as transparent as crystal.Behind the main hall are some magnificent buildings, which house the Great Khan's private property and his gold, silver and jewelry.It was also the palace of his wives.The Great Khan lived in this quiet place, undisturbed by the outside world, so he was able to handle affairs with great peace of mind.On the north side of the palace there is a man-made pond with an extremely delicate shape.The earth dug out of it formed a hill filled with various fruit trees.The water in the pond comes from a small stream that flows into the Chu River, and the pond resembles a fish pond, but in reality it is only for the livestock to drink.The stream flowing through the pond cuts through a ditch at the foot of the hill and flows into an artificial lake in front of the royal palace.The soil dug up from the lake is also used to build hills, and the lake is home to a wide variety of fish.The fish that the Great Khan ate, regardless of the quantity, were fed by the lake.The stream flows from the other end of the artificial lake, and in order to prevent the fish from escaping, iron or copper fences are installed at the entrance and exit of the water, and there are swans and other small birds in the lake, and the noble Great Khan and the wise prime minister often fish here, and I have been lucky enough to fish here, and the best record is that I caught two large catfish weighing one taran (about 26 kg in ancient Greeks) in one day.
