COMPLETED

It is a pity that among the many short stories, there is not a single one about the Silk Road. It deserves to have at least one story about its. Thanks to this road, many countries learned new technologies, gained new knowledge about cooking and medicine, and cultural exchanges were taking place. Materials on the history of the Silk Road is a huge treasure trove of knowledge!

I wanted to write a short story about this path, about the people of that time, alas, my English grammar is not so good. This story is the first attempt at writing.


The story itself begins 10 centuries after the opening of the Silk Road. In the time of Sir Pei Ju.

The action will be divided into three epochs - the period of the end of the Sui dynasty and the beginning of the Tang dynasty. Industrial and Informational era of modern history.

In each era, its main character. Perhaps they will be somehow connected.

The main idea is the “Jiang” coin with magical properties, which gives a person super ability, though for a short time.

This story has a place for intrigues, clan wars, conflicts, strategies and wonderful finds.

'Jiang' Magic Coin

Eating was not easy. Steep slope, thorns, stones that cut leather boots. Dara only laughed at the sweating Lee-Ban. Dara easily jumped from stone to stone, as if he was floating above the ground and not walking in the mountains.


Li-Ban, he took every step with great difficulty, his leather armor became harder and harder. He already regretted that he would not obey Dara's advice then. But he could not remove the armor because of the imperial spirit, pride and vanity. He wanted to prove to Dara, and to himself, that he could overcome this test and get out of it.


However, Li-Ban did not take into account the fact that the mountains needed strength, constant energy. To respond to challenges and threats, you need to have strength and energy, not to be tired.


Only three hours passed, and the village had to go a long time. This is on the plain for three hours Li-Ban could have passed 6 li and in the mountains he could hardly pass 1 li. At this rate of recovery, they risked coming to the village by night.


Li-Ban, proudly threw up his head and dismissively remarked - "I'm not tired, unless you yourself are exhausted, we can stop" ...


"Yeah, yeah, I'm tired!" He laughed sarcastically, Dara, he looked fresh and rested, while Li-Ban curled himself up afterwards.
