Chapter 156 Yingjisha Knife

This [Full Sheep Feast] actually did not take Li Yi too long.

In the view of Li Yi, who is proficient in stir-frying and knife skills, there is no technical difficulty in the Wei meal, and it all depends on the ingredients.

In the dream space, he mainly learned how to make naan pits.

As long as there is a naan pit, he can easily cook basically all the meals in Victoria.

His hand sank, and he looked down and saw a delicate knife lying in his palm.

This is a small knife about two palms long. The handle is made of two pieces of pure silver sandwiching the blade. There are two pieces of pure white ox bone on the outside, and there are two circles of turquoise and agate embedded around it.

The scabbard is made of cowhide. Like the blade, it has an upward curve at the top. Holes made of short copper pipes are embedded on both sides, arranged in a geometric pattern. There are also two pieces of warm mutton-fat jade inlaid in the middle.

.

Holding the scabbard, Li Yi took out the blade.

The slender blade is covered with patterns that look like clouds. There is also a line of Uighur characters engraved near the mouth. That is the name of the master who made this knife. Xiao Wu Kaiti means glory, fame, and majesty.

and majestic.

This is an Yingjisha knife, which Cheng Ning gave Han Song as a self-defense gift when he went to the capital.

Yingjisha is a Uighur word, meaning new city.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the local name of Yingjisha was Yinggasar, and its Chinese name was Shule Kingdom. It was one of the famous thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions.

After quelling the rebellion of Hezhuo and Xiaohe, in the 31st year of Qianlong's reign, the imperial court established the local leader Yingjishar, subordinate to the counselor minister KS Galdao, and the local written name was also changed to Yingjishar.

It was not until modern times that it was changed to the current Yingisha.

The Yingjisha knife is one of the three famous knives of ethnic minorities in China, and is as famous as the Bao'an waist knife of the Bao'an people and the Husa knife of the Achang people of Yunnan.

Li Yi remembered that there were more than 500 local swordsmiths in Yingishar, but they were divided into three levels: swordsmith, master and master.

There are only forty or fifty people who can be called masters, and there are only three people in Yingishar who can be called master masters.

Xiao Wu Kaiti is the most famous one.

Han Song called Xiao Wu Kaiti Lao Xiao. Lao Xiao was the only master who could make patterned steel knives at that time.

Holding the knife in one hand, Li Yi rubbed the blade with his thumb.

Do not touch the sharp blade with force, otherwise you will see blood immediately.

This knife was given to Han Song by Cheng Ning for self-defense, but after arriving in the capital, it became a tool for him to slaughter sheep.

Memory fragments show that Han Song used this knife to slaughter at least thousands of sheep.

At the end of Memory Fragments, Han Song met a robber and wanted to use this knife to kill the enemy.

Unfortunately, before he could take out the knife, he was hacked to death by the gangster.

Looking at the knife in his hand, Li Yi sighed secretly.

Unfortunately, Han Song failed to take Fatima's things back in the end.

In the memory fragments, after the real Han Song entered the palace, apart from cooking for Concubine Rong, the two became more like friends.

Although Han Song is from Xuzhou, he grew up in the Western Regions and his family is also in the Western Regions.

He can herd sheep, feed cows, ride horses, milk cows, and even shear sheep.

For him, the Western Regions are more like his hometown than his ancestral home in Xuzhou.

Therefore, after coming to the imperial palace in the capital, he, a fake Westerner, could understand Concubine Rong better than others.

For a Uighur girl like Concubine Rong, who grew up on a horse, the deep palace compound was more like a sheepfold, making her breathless.

She misses the freedom of her hometown all the time.

But she can no longer go back. Her existence is to maintain the bond of peaceful coexistence between the family and the court.

But it was precisely because of this longing that before she died, she gave Han Song the Asker she had always carried with her, and asked Han Song to take it back to the Western Regions to have a look, which was equivalent to taking her home.

Already.

Asker is also a sheep's crutch, which is the kneecap on the hind leg of every sheep. It is called Galaha in the Northeast region, and local children like to use it as a toy.

The Asker that Concubine Rong brought with her was the only thing she brought to the capital from the Western Regions, and it was also her spiritual companion when she was homesick.

When Han Song was in the palace, he often played Ask with Concubine Rong. This was also a game he often played as a child in the Western Regions.

Like Concubine Rong, he often misses his family and the scenery in the Western Regions.

Therefore, after Concubine Rong died, he took Concubine Rong's Aske with him and prepared to return to the Western Regions to spend the rest of his life.

But on the way, he was unfortunately killed by robbers and died tragically on the spot.

However, after reviewing Han Song's memory fragments, Li Yi had another guess.

The skills and qualities displayed by those robbers are really not like ordinary robbers.

If it were an ordinary robber, during the robbery, he would definitely yell to create momentum, scare the victim, and reduce the intensity of the victim's resistance.

But the robber who appeared in Han Song's memory acted quietly and as quickly as lightning.

Han Song is half a shepherd and has been killing sheep all his life. His psychological quality is quite good.

Moreover, in the palace, thanks to his relationship with Concubine Rong, he was pampered and had a very strong body.

But even so, he died in the hands of the robbers without even pulling out the knife.

It can be seen from this that those robbers are not ordinary people at all.

As for who it is, the answer is already clear.

Putting the knife back into the scabbard, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

What Qianlong did was so overbearing that he did not even allow Concubine Rong to escape mentally.

Or do you love Concubine Rong so much that you can feel jealous of someone who has been dead for decades?

But these are not important anymore. What is important is that he has returned with a mission.

Before leaving the dream space, the task he received was Qianlong's oral instruction, asking him to cook a meal for Concubine Rong, so that Concubine Rong could eat it satisfactorily and relieve Concubine Rong's homesickness.

And his mission this time is obviously this.

Looking beyond the wooden monument, Li Yi glanced at the wall of fog behind him.

No surprise, the fog wall became lighter again.

He stepped forward and pressed hard.

This time, half of his body was submerged in the mist.

He took his hand back and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.

Looking down at the Yingisha knife in his hand, he had a sudden thought.

Will this fog wall react to the things he brings out?

This knife is extremely sharp and can really blow hair and cut hair. It can cut the throat of a sheep with just one knife.

If I use this knife to cut the fog wall, will there be any reaction?

As soon as he thought of it, he took out the knife and stabbed it towards the wall of fog in front of him.

With almost no resistance, the knife pierced the wall of fog until it reached its hilt.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi was a little disappointed.

Could it be that the fog wall is invisible and the knife has no effect?

After thinking for a moment, he grasped the knife and began to stab deep into the fog wall.

This time, he held the knife in his hand and followed it easily into the wall of fog, feeling almost no resistance.

"Eh?"

Li Yi discovered something unusual.

When he pressed his hands against the fog wall just now, he could clearly feel the resistance. Once he pressed halfway down his body, he could no longer get in.

But using this knife to clear the way, his whole arm entered the wall of fog, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Is it really possible?

Li Yilai regained his composure, gripped the knife tightly, and walked towards the wall of fog.

The next moment, his entire body entered the wall of fog.
