Tibet

Chapter 252
Li Ye returned to the room, carefully cut open the gold box with his flying knife, and cut it along the circle sealed by the molten gold juice. The gold is very soft, and it was easy to cut it open. There are two layers of wooden lattice, with velvet cushion inside, and ten precious stones are placed neatly
Three sapphires, three rubies, two emeralds, and two topaz. The moment Li Ye saw the gems, Li Ye was almost suffocated by the beauty of the ten gems.

The gems are not big, about the same size as an apricot, and their size and shape are almost the same. Li Ye also has gems that are larger than them, but they can't compare to the quality of these ten gems. The color, luster and purity are all at the top. Dazzling.

The color of the three sapphires gradually becomes lighter, but they are extremely pure and intense, blue like a deep star curtain, blue like a Nordic ocean, and blue like a grassland sky.

And the three rubies are also particularly dazzling, red like flames, red like roses, red like the setting sun, red is coquettish, red is warm, red is deep.

The two topaz are like a cut piece of chicken fat, and they are like boiled chestnuts.

As for the two green gemstones, Li Ye once thought they were the top glass type imperial green, but in fact they were not. I don't know where the gemstones were produced, and they were so green that people couldn't breathe.

Li Ye put the ten caliph gems into a small leather purse and hung it close to his chest.

He took out a bulging bag from the horse bag, and poured out more than 100 high-quality gemstones. This was the spoils he got from Xue Feng's family. Like a firefly to a bright moon.

Li Ye picked ten high-quality gemstones, the same color and size as the Khalifa gemstones, and put them into the box. If you have never seen the ten Khalifa gemstones before, you will definitely be fascinated by the ten new gemstones in front of you. live.

The reason why Li Ye dared to replace the peach with Li is that the crown of the caliphate has been missing for 100 years, and the gold box has been sealed for 40 years. It is estimated that no one in the world has seen the gem of the caliphate except himself, so who will judge the authenticity?

Li Ye then went to a jewelry store diagonally opposite the posthouse, paid twenty gold dinars, and asked the owner to pour gold juice around the lid of the gold box, and then sealed the gold box again, thus restoring the gold box. As it was, it was even more evenly sealed than before, completely fused together.

Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the West Dayun Temple. This is a large temple, covering an area of ​​tens of acres, with many believers. There is an endless stream of male and female believers coming in and out without taking off their boots, which is not bad.

Entering the temple, Li Yeman walked casually without a goal.

At this time, a middle-aged woman stepped forward and saluted him, "Young master, please follow me!"

She actually spoke Turkic, not Sogdian. This group of people must not be Sogdian, but Turkic, but how do they know about the gold box?This is the most incomprehensible thing for Li Ye.

Also, don't the Turks believe in shamanism?Why did it appear in a Zoroastrian monastery again?Li Ye suddenly thought of the group of Ge Luolu merchants he saw on the road, they were worshiping the sun god!
Is it from Ge Luolu?
But even his [-] subordinates didn't know about the gold box, only the king and son of Bahana knew about it. Of course, Murdo and Arolie would not betray themselves, so how did the other party know?

Li Ye thought about it, and there was only one possibility, and that was that their father and son told their family members, and their family members leaked the news.

Walking into a courtyard, Li Ye held four throwing knives secretly in his hands, his ears pricked up, he mainly guarded against the other party's copper needles, which were blown out from a pipe, very domineering hidden weapons, with strong anesthetics on them, he was on the black cat's body After an experiment, the black cat woke up in the middle of the night and limped away.

Women in white clothes stood all around the yard, and all of them wore face scarves. This is a strange gang, and they are all women.

At this time, four women in black robes came out of the room, all wearing face scarves. The front one was also a middle-aged woman, and the three behind were young women. Among them, the young woman in the middle, Li Ye had an inexplicable feeling Familiar feeling.

"Did you bring the gold box?" The middle-aged woman asked coldly standing in front of the steps.

Li Ye took out the gold box from his bosom, held it in his hand and said, "I can give you the gold box, but where are my horse and dagger?"

"The horse can be returned to you, but the dagger cannot!"

Li Ye frowned, "Why?"

"The dagger is a sacred object of Zoroastrianism. It has been enshrined in the Temple of Light in Samarkand. It is called the Sword of Light, also known as the Sword of Ahura. It is one of the seven sacred objects of Zoroastrianism."

"nonsense!"

Li Ye said angrily: "I got the dagger from the Tang Palace, so what has it to do with Zoroastrianism?"

The middle-aged woman hesitated and said: "The Bright Sword is indeed a Zoroastrian item. There are two in total, a long sword and a short sword. This is a short sword. 90 years ago, Zoroastrianism dedicated it to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty approved us to build a temple in Chang'an."

"Since it has been dedicated to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it does not belong to Zoroastrianism. Even if you want to go back, you can't use this method. This is disrespectful to the God of Light."

The middle-aged woman said helplessly: "Yes! I hope Mr. Li can dedicate it to Dayun Temple."

Li Ye smiled slightly: "Give me back the dagger first, and then we can negotiate again. To me, it is just a sharp dagger. As long as your conditions satisfy me, I can exchange it with you."

The middle-aged woman took a deep look at Li Ye and waved her hand lightly. Behind her, a woman in black came up with a plate, which contained Li Ye's dagger.

Li Ye put away the dagger, and glanced at the young woman in black again. She couldn't see her face, but she had an indescribable feeling, which seemed familiar but strange. Could it be that she was the princess of the country that pulled Khan?
Li Ye put the gold box on the plate, the woman in black gave Li Ye a surprised look, turned and went back.

The middle-aged woman picked up the gold box and quickly compared it with a picture next to it. That's right, it was this gold box. There was a snake pattern on the gold box, and it was inlaid with a drop-shaped emerald. It was exactly as described by A-Lian. Similarly, the surrounding area is sealed with gold juice, and the name of King Kuanli of Bahanna is engraved in the lower left corner of the bottom.

This young man from the Tang Dynasty didn't even know the importance of the items in this box!The middle-aged woman was so excited that her hands trembled slightly.

Li Ye saw her excitement, and Li Ye suddenly understood that this group of people actually knew the secret of the gold box. war horse.

Li Ye sneered in his heart, these people are really cute and stupid.

"The gold box is for you, but where is my horse?"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand, and someone led out the Fire Cloud Horse. The middle-aged woman said to Li Ye in a gentle tone: "My name is Angel, and I am the priestess of this temple. I hope we can negotiate well, and Mr. Li can dedicate the Bright Sword to this temple."

Li Ye smiled: "I won't give it away, but I can exchange it, it depends on your sincerity!"

He glanced at the young woman in black again, got on his horse, and urged the horse to gallop out of Dayun Temple.
