Chapter 1147 Alzhai Grottoes

In fact, the "sweat-blooded horse" has never disappeared, but it is rarely seen in China, or just disappeared in the Middle Kingdom.

In Turkmenistan and Russia, there are relatively large populations, with a total of more than 2,000, but in the local area, the so-called "sweat-blooded Zun" is called Ahama, and the full name is Aharte Golden Horse.

As mentioned above, the sweat-blooded BMW given by the Turkish president to Chinese leaders is the Ahalje Golden Horse, which is also one of Turkmenistan's two national treasures and is often used to give to relevant foreign people.

Although it is difficult to see sweat-blooded horses in China for thousands of years, the influence of sweat-blooded horses on Chinese horse species has continued from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is of great significance.

In Yili, Xinjiang, it is known as "Tengkunlun, Lixi Pole", and it is also the hometown of Tianma.

According to historical books, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, foreign countries offered Wusun horse. When Emperor Wu saw that the horse was handsome and upright, he gave it the name "Tianma". Later, someone paid tribute to the sweat-blooded horse of Dawan in the Western Regions, so he renamed Wusunma "West Pole Horse" and called the

The "Tianma" and "Western Pole Horse" mentioned here are the ancestors of the Ili Kazakh horse. The Ili horse is handsome, burly physique and has a strong ability to heal diseases. It is one of the excellent horse breeds cultivated in China.

That is to say, the best horse breeds in China contain the bloodline of sweat-blooded horses, or directly the descendants of sweat-blooded horses.

Therefore, since the 1970s and 1980s, animal research experts in the Middle State have been carrying out research on sweat-blooded horses, which was based on the discovery of sweat-blooded horses in Xinjiang, which caused a great sensation in China for a while.

However, because the Japanese scholar Shimizu Hayato only took out the photo and failed to capture the sweat-blooded horse, although the relevant research institutions later organized personnel to go deep into Xinjiang and other places, no trace of the sweat-blooded horse was found, and the matter finally ended.

Battle looked at the leisurely chasing wind in the distance with envy, and said to Zhuang Rui, "Brother Zhuang, I guess your horse is the descendant of the sweat-blooded horses introduced by the cavalry regiment in the 1950s.

The people at that time did not know the damage of hybridization to the sweat-blooded horse. At that time, the horse was lent to many herdsmen to breed, resulting in the sweat-blooded horse finally disappearing in China..."

"Huh? Brother Battle, miscellaneous ** species will only make the bloodline of the sweaty horse thin, so why do you still say that this horse is the descendant of that horse in those years?

Battle's words made Zhuang Rui very confused. Since hybridization will make sweaty horses impure, how can he say that his horse is the descendant of those horses?

Battle scratched his head and said, "Brother Zhuang, the cavalry regiment was in the Xilingrad League of Inner Mongolia. At that time, there were still many wild horses on the Mongolian grassland. I guess the chasing wind is the descendants of the sweat-blooded horse and the Mongolian wild horse, but I don't know why it completely retains the bloodline P>

Although Batel knows a lot about horses, he doesn't know much about complicated things such as genetic lineage, and can only give a general guess.

For Zhuang Rui's good luck, Bazier, a straightforward man, even had a trace of jealousy in his heart. As a grassland man who loves horses, who can see such a divine horse indifferent?

"Ha ha, chasing the wind is a gift from God, no matter where it comes from..."

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile. This egg is delicious. There is no need to know the egg-laying **? Chasing the wind is good. Even if not, Zhuang Rui believes that it must be the fastest horse in the world.

No matter what Zhuang Rui doesn't know at this moment, chasing the wind is not only the fastest horse in the world, but also its value is far beyond his imagination.

Entering modern society, the steed originally used to fight on the battlefield has long been unloaded and returned to the field to Nanshan, but horse riding has developed into a sport, which is loved by nobles from all over the world.

In the homes of many rich people abroad, there is no special horse farm. Please hire a professional trainer, and then spend hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars to buy a noble horse. This is more expensive and high-level than playing with a famous yacht car. It is a real rich sport.

That is, there are also many emerging aristocrats in China who have participated in the movement of playing horses. However, due to the limited conditions, they all buy horses and are fostered in professional horse farms. They don't have weekends or free time to run horses to relax.

In fact, there are not many people who know horses. Those rich people only know little about horses. These days, people who can raise horses can't afford to play horses, but those who can spend a lot of money to play horses don't know horses, so the horse farm clubhouse was born to serve those bosses.

Because it is sought after by these rich people, the price of famous horses is also becoming more and more expensive. The ancient and excellent horse breed like sweat-blooded horses is also pursued by the rich. Ordinary sweat-blooded horses cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. If the breed is pure, it is not uncommon to sell tens of millions of dollars.

With a figure like Chasing the wind, there is no variegated sweat-blooded horse all over the body. If you really enter the horse market, you will definitely sell it at a terrible sky-high price.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhuang Rui to sell Chasing Feng. Every animal raised in his family has a deep affection with Zhuang Rui.

And the minds of animals are the most pure and **. If you are not good-hearted, they can also feel it.

"Brother Battle is the best tamer in our grassland. He didn't even touch the horse's hair. Zhuang Rui'an replied, how did you tame this horse?" Timur, who is straightforward, asked the question that he had endured in his heart for a long time.

In Timur's heart, Battle is the best rider and trainer, but what Battle didn't do was made Zhuang Rui do it. Timur has been thinking about how Zhuang Rui used to tame the wind.

"At the way, where's my Xiaobai..."

Just now, everyone was surprised by Zhuang Rui's "blood stains" on his face and the chasing the wind behind him. Everyone forgot the white horse that Zhuang Rui rode first. At this moment, Wu Yunqiqi suddenly remembered that the little girl and the white horse had a deep relationship, and there was already a cry in her voice.

"Cough..."

Zhuang Rui was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He had to run happily early in the morning, but he forgot Xiaobai. At the speed of chasing the wind, he had to throw Xiaobai out at least dozens of kilometers.

"That...Xiao Bai is in the back. He should come soon..."

Zhuang Rui had no confidence in his words, and then said, "In that group of wild horses, there are a lot of white horses, Qiqige, can Brother Zhuang Rui choose a good-looking one for you?"

"No, I want Xiaobai..."

Wuyun Qiqige thought that something had happened to Xiaobai, and the tears began to fall down.

When Batel saw his sister's appearance, he said, "Kikig, what's there to cry about? It doesn't matter if Xiaobai runs away. He knows how to go back..."

Not to mention that the white horse knows the way, even if you don't know the way, on this prairie, there will be no herdsmen with a black conscience to take it as their own and occupy other people's horses, cattle and sheep, which is a very bad thing.

"Yes, Brother Battle, where is it? Why is the terrain so strange?

Zhuang Rui was afraid that the little girl would cry when she mentioned the horse again. He pointed to the hill in the distance and changed the topic.

"You mean the Alzhai Grottoes?"

Battle looked down Zhuang Rui's finger, "It is also called the Hundred Eyes Cave. There are many Buddhist stone portraits in it, which are also the holy place of our Mongolian people. Genghis Khan once healed his wounds there..."

"Is this the Alzhai Grottoes?"

As soon as Zhuang Rui heard the name, he suddenly realized that before coming to Inner Mongolia this time, Dr. Ren told him about the rumors about the Alzhai Grottoes, which is also known as the only remaining relics of the late Buddhist grottoes.

In the Alzhai Grottoes, there are nearly a thousand historic and magnificent and colorful murals, which is also the most valuable cultural and artistic heritage of the cave.

It is said that Genghis Khan set up his headquarters in the Alcha Grottoes during the sixth expedition to Western Xia in 1225. The Secret History of Mongolia records in detail the whole process of Genghis Khan's recuperation here and summoning generals for a meeting, regardless of the pain of the first healing of his army to defeat the Western Xia

On the right side of the entrance of the south wall of the Al-Zhaifei Grottoes, there is a picture of Genghis Khan.

On this picture, Genghis Khan and others sit in the middle of the chask with the Alcha Grottoes as the background, surrounded by nearly a hundred people of various colors. Its composition is very similar to the ancient paintings in the Eight White Houses enshrined by the Ordos Department. The posture of the characters is very similar to the Great Khan and Hatun in It's like.

This mural also shows that the records in the Secret History of Mongolia are not groundless, and it once became the focus of Mongolian historians.

After the Alzhai Grottoes became the place of worship of Buddhism in the Northern Dynasty, it has been prosperous through the Sui and Tang Dynasties and Western Xia. When the Mongols became the world conquerors, the political status of the Alzhai Grottoes Temple reached its peak.

Due to the story left by Genghis Khan in the Arzhai Grottoes, the Mongols have been here to commemorate Genghis Khan here for a long time. Throughout the Mongolian Empire, the Arjia Grottoes Temple has always been one of several memorial halls of different nature to commemorate Genghis Khan.

Everyone's trip is mainly to find Zhuang Rui. Now that they have found Zhuang Rui, there is no need to continue. Timur is familiar with the lamas of the Alzhai Grottoes, so they said, "Zhuang Rui'an replied, let's go to the grottoes to rest, and you also have to wash your body..."

"Okay, I just want to see..."

Timur's words are in the middle of Zhuang Rui's mind. It has been a few days since the deadline with Professor Meng's appointment. He doesn't have much hope to find the tomb of the Mongolian emperor, so he wants to know more about the Mengyuan culture in the next time.
