Li Guxing didn't know the name of the river, let alone where it came from.

In Tianzhu, the status of this river is no less than that of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the Central Plains, and it is he who gave birth to thousands of lives on both sides of the river, so that there is such a country as Tianzhu.

Although Tianzhu is not very strong now, but in the past, in ancient times, Tianzhu has no less than the Central Plains region of the brilliant civilization, and even in Tianzhu was born a great man, founded Buddhism, and had a profound impact on later generations and many countries.

There are many temples in the Central Plains, there are many believers, the belief is the Buddhism that originated from Tianzhu, and even the Tang Sanzang for the inheritance of Mahayana Buddhism, came to Tianzhu from the Tang Dynasty to seek the true scriptures, and then was used by later generations to exert imagination and creation, and wrote the book "Journey to the West".

However, due to various reasons, such a brilliant civilization as Tianzhu gradually died out and declined, and now Buddhism in Tianzhu is no longer flourishing, but is gradually replaced by another, more ancient and more oppressive religion.

But no matter which religion prevails in Tianzhu, in the minds of the Tianzhu people, this long river has an ineffable status, and it is also praised by them as a holy river.

The river is called the Ganges, and it is rumored to cure all diseases, and it has the effect of making the soul ascend to heaven after death.

Therefore, when people die here, they are not buried in the soil in the Central Plains, but they put their bodies into the Ganges River on a raft and go with the flow.

Over time, over the years, the Ganges River was littered with corpses, rotting and moldy, making the Ganges water no longer as clear as it used to be.

Hearing what the mud bodhisattva said, Li Guxing couldn't help but gasp.

The water of the Ganges River is not just a simple stomach problem, but also requires great courage and courage to drink.

He looked at the people by the river, and the scene almost made him throw up.

But I saw that many people on the bank of the river led a cow, and unlike the Central Plains, they treated those cows almost perverted, serving them as if they were serving their ancestors.

Not only did he kneel and kneel, whispering softly, but he also held their urine in his hand and drank it into his mouth.

Li Guxing was a little sick to his stomach, as if he smelled the smell of cow urine, and a wave of nausea came up uncontrollably.

The mud bodhisattva smiled slightly: "Young man, it's rare and strange, in their eyes, this is a rare holy thing, which can cure all diseases." ”

Li Guxing was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but complain: "The water of the Ganges River cures all diseases, and cow urine also cures all diseases, how can they still die with so many things that cure all diseases?" ”

Mud Bodhisattva said: "It's just self-deception, but a lot of means seem to be useless in our eyes, but in the eyes of their own families, they are rare." ”

"Rare? Is that a design? ”

The mud bodhisattva said: "Let me tell you a reason, I don't know if you know the country of Franky?" ”

Where has Li Guxing seen foreigners? Although I have heard of the big Frankie and the little Frankie coming to pay tribute before, for a small flag officer, where is there a blessing to see such a noble envoy.

The mud bodhisattva told him a story, one day the envoy of the great Frankie fell ill, and his stomach hurt so badly, it may be that they were not used to eating the food in the Central Plains, and they were not accustomed to the water and soil, in short, they were almost dying, and the doctor who came with the ship could not restrain it, and he was about to die.

At that time, it was the Yongle Dynasty, where would the Yongle Emperor let such a thing happen to his own country, and immediately sent the best medical officers of the Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat him.

When they arrived at the inn, those prestigious medical officers were dumbfounded, the envoy of the great Frankie was originally infected with the wind and cold and the disease of water and soil, but under the treatment of those quacks, he cut his wrist and bled and put it in half a basin.

Not to mention that he is a sick person, even a good and sturdy man has lost half his life by such bloodletting.

What made them even more speechless was that after the medical officers had bled the wounds, they applied bird droppings and other pickled things to the wounds, and the wounds had become infected and suppurated in the middle of summer, which made the life of the messenger of the great Franky Kingdom hang by a thread.

The messenger of the great Frankie had been ill for a long time, and had been terminally ill for such a long time that ordinary methods could not cure him, at least in the eyes of their accompanying doctor.

Seeing that they were so at a loss, the medical officers of the hospital didn't want to dismiss their face too much, so after pretending to discuss it, they made a decision

A two-pronged approach to treatment with acupuncture and herbal medicine.

In the eyes of the doctors of the Great Buddha Lang Ji Kingdom, the envoy was already a dying man, so he simply treated the dead horse as a live horse doctor and handed it over to the medical officer of the Ming Dynasty.

The medical officer of the Ming Dynasty did not talk nonsense, for those rotten and purulent flesh, they found some maggots from the latrine, treated them in a method, applied them to the wounds, and inserted silver needles into the faces of the envoys.

In our eyes, these are just the treatment methods of some famous doctors, although the method of applying maggots is not common, but the method of acupuncture and moxibustion can be said to be a household name.

But in the eyes of the great Franciscans, they thought that their envoys had been tortured, and they protested.

Zhu Zhanji, who was still the grandson of the emperor at that time, had the courage that others did not have, and even sent Jinyi Wei to control those who came with him, asking them to watch their envoys receive treatment from Dr. Daming.

After one night, the envoy's condition improved, and the rotten and purulent flesh was eaten clean by the maggots, and the fresh flesh was not hurt in the slightest.

Immediately, the imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty found many herbs and applied them to the wound.

Within three days, the envoy was alive and well, unaffected by his illness.

Due to cultural differences, in the eyes of the people of the Great Buddha Lang Kingdom, their envoys are being tortured, and in the eyes of the Ming people, it is a group of imperial doctors who turn decay into magic and cure diseases for the envoys.

Li Guxing seemed to understand the story of the mud bodhisattva, and said: "You mean that they have not yet opened the wisdom of the people here, so we are more powerful?" ”

Mud Bodhisattva said: "Yes, the Ming Dynasty has such a territory, and after three generations of wise monarchs to govern, the strength of the country, the prosperity of the people, how can these barbarians compare, they are ignorant, believe that this cow urine and river water can cure all diseases, but we use the methods left by our ancestors to cure diseases and save people." But you don't have to be proud here, after all, there are places for us to learn from them. ”.

His story deliberately or unintentionally elevated Daming, to guide Li Guxing to know that the life he has now won is not easy to come by, and to completely dispel the idea of rebellion, so that he can take into account some of the conditions for supporting the army and standing on his own in the future.

But this deep-seated concept, Li Guxing, didn't know anything, he was only surprised by the difference between the cultures of the two countries in the mouth of the mud bodhisattva.

But then again, Li Guxing's mouth is dry now, and he didn't bring any water with him when he left in a hurry, so he can't be so thirsty to find the location of the Hades Palace.

But he looked at the mud bodhisattva's smiling expression, and seemed to feel that he didn't need to worry too much about such a thing.

"You have a way, don't you?"

The mud bodhisattva said, "What do you say? ”

"The way to drink water, didn't you say that you can't drink water?"

While talking, a few more people in the upper reaches of the river urinated, and Li Guxing saw that the clear yellow river water flowed down from the upstream, which made him nauseous for a while.

"I saw that this water is really undrinkable."

The mud bodhisattva said, "I have a way to make you have water to drink here, but you have to wait. ”

But he found a great leaf, like a plantain leaf, and put a few branches under it, so that the plantain leaf was high on one side and low on the other, and a big hole was dug under the plantain leaf, and water was drawn from the Ganges to fill the big hole.

After doing all this, the mud bodhisattva said to Li Guxing: "It's up to you left!" ”

"Look at me? I don't get it. ”

Li Guxing really didn't understand, and the second monk was puzzled, who could know what he was doing this for.

The mud bodhisattva said, "With your "Samadhi True Fire", that thing can't burn things, but the heat is still okay, so it's okay to boil the water in this pit." ”

Li Guxing glanced at the mud bodhisattva a few times, and wanted his master to know that the "Samadhi True Fire" in the "Zhuge Thirty-six Strange Gates" that everyone on the rivers and lakes envied was actually used by him to boil such dirty water, and he didn't know how he would react.

However, I don't care so much now, after all, the taste of thirst is more unbearable than the taste of hunger.

"Okay, I'll boil this thing!"

But seeing Li Guxing flipping over with one palm, a steaming heat jumped on the palm of his hand, and he quickly plunged his hand into the puddle.

The "Third Sister True Fire" burns the soul, and the water naturally can't be extinguished.

The flames swayed in the mud puddle water, and in a short time the water boiled.

The mud bodhisattva also found a banana leaf, made it into the shape of a bowl, and put it in a low place to wait.

After a short time, the boiling water vapor stuck to the plantain leaf mountain, and gradually solidified into water droplets when it was cold, and it landed steadily in the bowl at an inclined angle, and it didn't take long to fill the bowl.

Li Guxing exclaimed: "God, it's really God!" ”

The mud bodhisattva said: "What's so difficult about this? It's just a matter of mastering the method. ”

He handed the bowl to Li Guxing and let him drink it to his heart's content, and in the same way, he took a lot of clean water sources and filled them with two large skin bags.

Li Guxing asked: "Senior, who did you learn these methods from?" ”

The mud bodhisattva smiled helplessly, as if he was reminiscing about the past, with both bitterness and bitterness on his face, and finally sighed and said: "It's all old things, I hope you won't be good in this way for the rest of your life." ”

In the early years, he was still a beggar, wandering in the dark streets and alleys all day long, and there were high and low among the beggars, and he happened to be the kind of person at the bottom.

Powerful beggars form gangs and control wells or water sources upstream, so the mud bodhisattvas have no clean water to drink.

I had a stomach trouble a few times, and I almost lost my life.

It was then that an old beggar taught him this method.

In short, it was all blood and tears from the past, and Li Guxing didn't dare to ask, after all, there were some past that even the parties didn't dare to recall.

After the water was filled, the sun was not as hot as Fang Cai, and the mud bodhisattva found a shade and lay down lazily.

Li Guxing was a little impatient and asked, "Aren't we going to find the Hades Palace?" Why are you lying here? ”

The mud bodhisattva said: "The forces of the Hades Palace, they all know everything about the Central Plains rivers and lakes thousands of miles away, the two of us ran to the soles of their feet, are you still afraid that they will not be able to do it under the lamp?" ”

Li Guxing was stunned, and immediately lay down and had a good rest.

Sure enough, within two hours, two elephants came in the distance.

The elephant carries something like a saddle on it, and it is decorated with precious jade and gold and silver, and the two elephants have thick tusks, and the front end may have been broken because of the fight, so it was filled with jade inlay.

On each of the elephants sat a maiden, who covered her face with a light veil, but did not wear much of her clothes, as if the whole body was not much more cloth than the tulle on the other side.

Li Guxing asked, "Seniors, are they people from the Hades Palace?" ”

The mud bodhisattva said, "Yes, but this time you have to go by yourself." ”
