Chapter 304: The Peacock Dynasty (Three Watches)
From the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, thousands of mountains and rivers, the golden-eyed eagle shook its wings, flew over the mountains, rivers, deserts and wastelands, and went all the way to the southwest. *.**/*
Huo Yuanzhen was not sure that he would find Tianzhu's location at once, so he could only rely on the memory of his previous life, hoping that this Tianzhu would not be too far away from the one he knew.
Even though he was in the sky, he was still observing the ground, watching as he could probably name himself passed underneath him.
That white and bright river should be the Yangtze River.
That vast mountain, could it be the Qinling Mountains?
The place in the distance, but the plateau where Tantra is located?
The blue sea is even in the sky, and the huge island should be where the ends of the earth are.
At night, Huo Yuanzhen landed in a mountain forest to rest, and let the golden-eyed eagle also go out to forage for food to replenish his strength.
On the second day, the golden-eyed eagle can fly above the clouds, regardless of whether it is cloudy or sunny.
It's just that when it's cloudy, it's hard for Huo Yuanzhen to determine the direction of progress, and even twice he feels that he is wrong, and he drives the golden-eyed eagle down under the clouds to watch the terrain on the ground.
But this kind of observation is really not reliable, especially after going out of the borders of the Tang Dynasty and coming to a foreign country, it is even more difficult to find.
However, Huo Yuanzhen was sure that his general direction was not wrong, because he gradually felt the breath of the tropics.
The Tang Dynasty is located in the north temperate zone, while Tianzhu is tropical, close to the ocean.
The golden-eyed eagle flew until the evening of the third day, and Huo Yuanzhen felt that the land below should have reached the border of Tianzhu Kingdom.
Because he was not sure of the location, he continued to fly south for a while, and found that the south was an endless ocean.
I can't go any further south, and if I cross this ocean, I'm afraid I'll have to see the penguins.
flew back for a while, came to the center of the land, Huo Yuanzhen found a place and landed slowly.
After landing, a wave of heat came to the face, and it was also summer in the Tang Dynasty, but I couldn't feel such a temperature on Mt. Shomuro.
Huo Yuan was really afraid of heat and cold, and felt that the monk's robe on his body was a little hot, so he saw that there was no one around, so he simply took off the monk's robe and replaced it with the one that Ning Wanjun had prepared for himself.
This is a white robe, not very fat, can show the body, especially the edges of the robe, there are also aqua blue edges.
This is Ning Wanjun's favorite colorγ»Strictly speaking, this monk's robe is no longer a monk's robe in the true sense, if you stand with Ning Wanjun, it has a bit of a couple's outfit. *.*//
However, the breathability and aesthetics of this dress are not comparable to his original one, and Huo Yuanzhen feels cooler when he wears it.
This should be Ning Wanjun's creativity alone, fortunately, Luo Caiyi didn't add creativity according to his liking, otherwise if he got some colorful lace, this monk robe really couldn't be worn.
After putting on the monk's robe and putting the burden on his shoulders, Huo Yuanzhen looked into the distance.
When I chose to land, I saw a village in the distance, and I should go there to see the basic situation of the place so that I could decide where to go next.
Walk towards the village.
At the edge of the village, Huo Yuanzhen saw a group of children.
It was a few typical Tianzhu boys, with black skin, yellow and thin muscles, everyone had a pair of big eyes, ** upper body, and looked at Huo Yuanzhen coming.
Apparently they thought it was very fresh, and this bald man didn't seem like them.
Looking at these Tianzhu children, Huo Yuanzhen felt that he should say something.
But how do you speak?
What language did the ancient Tianzhu people have? I haven't learned it myself.
Just as he was hesitating, an exclamation suddenly came from not far away.
Huo Yuanzhen looked at it, a middle-aged woman wearing a long white veil ran over quickly, and after seeing Huo Yuanzhen, she was a little surprised, but more panicked, and said to Huo Yuanzhen again and again: "I'm really sorry, the children are not sensible, sir, please." ..., although the accent is not so right, Huo Yuan can really understand what she said.
It's good that the biggest language barrier is gone, and it's much easier to do anything.
However, the woman seemed to be a little afraid of herself, and it seemed that their life was not very good, as if she resembled the paupers in the Tang Dynasty.
Huo Yuanzhen said to her: "This donor doesn't have to worry, the poor monk is not a bad person. β
"Master, you are a monk and a nobleman, these children don't understand, they block your way, I apologize to you, quickly, make way for the master. β
After finishing speaking, the woman pulled the children to stand on the side of the road in a panic, waiting for Huo Yuanzhen to pass.
Seeing this woman like this, Huo Yuan was really a little strange, even if the status of the monk was relatively high, it would not make her afraid of being like this.
"Female donor, the poor monk is not from Tianzhu, the poor monk is from the far east, just want to ask you for directions. β
Hearing Huo Yuanzhen say this, the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Earlier, I thought you were a Kshatriya master, you really scared me to death." β
Knowing that Huo Yuanzhen was not the person she was afraid of, the woman's courage immediately increased a lot, and she said to Huo Yuanzhen: "I have never seen a person like you, are you from the east?
"The poor monk is indeed an Oriental, and it is very far away from here, and it takes several years to walk
"That's hard work. β
The woman said, glancing at the clothes on Huo Yuanzhen's body, obviously suspicious of what Huo Yuanzhen said.
After walking for a few years, it is obviously unreasonable that the clothes can still be so clean.
Huo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "Female donor, the poor monk's clothes have just been changed, and the old clothes are in the package. β
Hearing the monk's explanation, the woman was relieved and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Then please come and sit at home." β
"Thank you, donor. β
Huo Yuanzhen really needs to know about Tianzhu's situation, and it is inconvenient to say it outside after all.
Following the woman to her house, Huo Yuanzhen went to the other party and saw that the village was very poor, every household was low and dilapidated houses, and some were even simply sheds, and the people in it sat numbly, watching their arrival stupidly.
There were many people who saw themselves, and they all showed panicked expressions, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
The woman walked with her, with a swaggering, fox-like swagger.
Huo Yuanzhen didn't say much, and followed the woman into her house.
Her family's house can barely be regarded as a house, and compared with the neighbors around her, it seems to be a good life.
Entering the room, there was a man lying lazily on the bed, and when he saw Huo Yuanzhen coming in, he sat up in fright, muttering that he didn't know what to say.
"Loew, this is the ** master from the East, passing by us, you go and prepare something to eat. β
The man named Loew hurriedly got up, smiled at Huo Yuanzhen, and cautiously walked out of the house.
At this time, Huo Yuanzhen noticed that these little boys were actually the children of this woman, and they were all sent outside to play by the women.
"I don't know what the female benefactor is called?"
"Master, please call me Chenna. β
"Amitabha, Qina donor, the poor monk came to Tianzhu for the first time, I don't know anything about the situation here, I don't know if the donor can give a brief introduction to the poor monk. β
Qin Na invited Huo Yuanzhen to sit down at this time, she also sat on a chair next to her, and said a little proudly: "Master, Qin Na can say that in this village, if you want to know anything, you can only ask me, and the rest of the people are all from the lowest Shudra, and they don't understand anything." β
"Oh! Shudra!"..., Huo Yuanzhen knows a little bit about this matter, he knows that the ruling class of Tianzhu is a Brahmin, and the lowest class is a Shudra, and there seem to be two classes in the middle, which is not so clear.
Qinna explained to Huo Yuanzhen at this time: "Master, you may not know it when you come to Tianzhu for the first time, Tianzhu is divided into four varna social classes, namely Shudra, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, and Brahmins, among which Shudra is not a branch of the Aryans, and the remaining three classes belong to the Aryans, so the Shudras are the lowest class, and the people in our village are all other than me. β
"What about the Vaishyas and Kshatriyas?"
"The Vaishyas were generally merchants and craftsmen, and I was born into the Vaishyas, just because my father used to believe in the gods of the Brahmins, and as a result, the priests of the Brahmins were defeated by the Mauryan dynasty of the king of Sahman, and they lost their supreme power, and my father's people were also put to death, and I was sold here. β
China seemed to be a little unhappy, and continued: "Originally, the Brahmin sacrificial lords were the masters of Tianzhu, and the Kshatriyas were only royal families, nobles, and officials, but now the world has changed, and Kshatriyas are already the supreme rulers. β
Huo Yuanzhen nodded, the Brahmins' glorious divine power had fallen, and the Kshatriya class was equivalent to the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, but now they had become the masters of Tianzhu and established the Peacock Dynasty.
Wait a minute!
Huo Yuanzhen suddenly realized that the Peacock Dynasty was not the most glorious dynasty in the history of Tianzhu!
It turns out that in this world, this Peacock Dynasty has just been established.
In the world I originally knew, several kings of the Mauryan Empire were very Buddhist, but will this Mauryan Dynasty be the same as the one I know?
If you don't come by yourself, it is likely that this Peacock Empire will not have the same glorious Buddhist civilization as the one you know.
He thought here, and China continued: "The monk of Tianzhu is now a nobleman and a Kshatriya, so China is afraid of the master, even if I am still a Vaishya, I don't dare to offend the master. β
Huo Yuanzhen still wanted to ask something, but suddenly LΓΆw, who had gone out to get something to eat, ran back in panic and said loudly: "Oh no, the people of the old man Bayi in the town have come to catch slaves again!"
PS: The third watch is here, and I am anxious to ask for a monthly pass, and I want five more today!
