Chapter 304 The Peacock Dynasty

From the prosperous Tang Dynasty to India, thousands of mountains and rivers, the golden-eyed eagle shook its wings, flew over the mountains, rivers, desert wastelands, and headed southwest.*.**/*

Huo Yuanzhen was not sure that he would find the location of Tianzhu in one go. He could only rely on his memories of his previous life. He hoped that the distance between this Tianzhu and the one he knew would not be too far away.

Although in the sky, he was still observing the ground, watching the place where he could probably call his name pass by under him.

That white and bright river should be the Yangtze River.

Could the vast mountain ridge be the Qinling Mountains?

The place that is like a sky in the distance is the plateau where Tantra is located?

The blue sea is connected to the sky, and that huge island should be where the ends of the earth are.

At night, Huo Yuanzhen landed in a forest to rest, allowing the Golden Eagle to go out to find food to replenish his energy.

The next day, we faced the morning glow and set off on the road. No matter how cloudy or sunny the golden-eyed eagle could fly over the clouds.

However, on cloudy days, it was difficult for Huo Yuan to determine the direction of his progress. He even felt that he had gone wrong twice, and drove the Golden Eagle to the clouds to watch the terrain on the ground.

However, this kind of observation is indeed not very reliable, especially after leaving the borders of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is even more difficult to find after coming to a foreign country.

However, Huo Yuan is sure that his general direction is not wrong, because he gradually felt the tropical atmosphere.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was located in the northern temperate zone, while the Indiana was a tropical zone, close to the ocean.

The Golden Eagle flew until the evening of the third day. Huo Yuanzhen felt that the land below should have reached the border of India.

Because he was not sure of the location, he continued to fly south for a while and found that there was endless ocean in the south.

You can't continue to go south. If you pass through this ocean further south, you may have to go see the penguins.

After flying back for a while, he arrived at the center of the land, Huo Yuanzhen found a place and landed slowly.

After landing, a wave of heat came to my face. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was also summer, but I couldn’t feel such a warmth on Shaoshi Mountain.

Huo Yuanzhen was afraid of heat or cold. He felt that the monk's robe was a little hot. Seeing that there was no one around, he simply took off the monk's robe and replaced the one that Ning Wanjun prepared for him.

This is a white monk's robe, not very fat, it can show its shape. Especially, the edges of the monk's robe also have water-blue edges.

This is Ning Wanjun's favorite color. Strictly speaking, this monk's robe is no longer a true monk's robe. If you stand with Ning Wanjun, it will taste like a couple outfit.//**//

However, the breathability and aesthetics of this dress are not comparable to the original ones. Huo Yuanzhen feels cooler when wearing them.

This should be Ning Wanjun's creativity alone. Fortunately, Luo Caiyi did not add creativity based on her own preferences, otherwise she would not be able to wear this monk's robe.

After putting on the monk's robe and putting the bag on his shoulder, Huo Yuanzhen looked away.

When I chose to land, I saw a village in the distance. I should go over and see the basic situation here before I can determine where to go next.

Step towards that village.

When he arrived at the edge of the village, Huo Yuanzhen saw a group of children.

They were a few typical Indian boys, with dark skin and pale face and thin skin. Each of them had big eyes, and they looked at Huo Yuanzhen in a daze.

Obviously they think it's very new, and this bald man seems to be different from them.

Looking at these Indian children, Huo Yuan really felt that he should say something.

But how to speak?

What language did the Indians speak in ancient times? They had never learned it themselves.

While he was hesitating, a sudden scream came from a distance.

When Huo Yuanzhen saw that a middle-aged woman wearing a long white veil ran over quickly. After seeing Huo Yuanzhen, she was a little surprised, but more frightened, and repeatedly said to Huo Yuanzhen: "I'm so sorry, the children are ignorant, please, Master."

Although the accent is not that correct, Huo Yuan can really understand what she said.

That's all, the biggest language barrier is gone, and everything is much more convenient.

However, this woman seemed a little afraid of herself, and her life should not be very good, as if she was similar to the poor in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Huo Yuanzhen said to her: "Don't worry, this donor, I am not a bad person."

"Master, you are a monk and a nobleman. These children don't understand and block your way. I apologize to you. Hurry up, give way to the master."

After saying that, the woman pulled the children to the side of the road in panic, waiting for Huo Yuanzhen to pass.

Huo Yuan was really surprised to see this woman look like this. Even if the monk has a high status, she would not be afraid of being like this.

"Female donor, I am not from the Indians. I am from the distant east, I just want to ask you for directions."

Hearing Huo Yuanzhen say this, the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I said it earlier. I thought you were a Kshatriya man, so I was so scared."

Knowing that Huo Yuanzhen is not the one she is afraid of, the woman's courage immediately became much stronger and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "I have never seen a person like you. Did you come from the East? How far is it?"

"I am indeed an oriental, very far away from here. How many years will it take to walk?

"That's really hard."

The woman said, glanced at Huo Yuanzhen's clothes, obviously doubting what Huo Yuanzhen said.

After walking for several years, it is obviously unreasonable that the clothes can still be so clean.

Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Female donor, I just changed my clothes, and the old clothes are in the package."

Hearing the monk's explanation, the woman felt relieved and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Then please sit at home."

"Thank you, the female donor."

Huo Yuanzhen really needs to understand the situation in Tianzhu, and it is inconvenient to say it outside.

Following the woman to her home, Huo Yuanzhen saw that the village was very poor, and every household was low and dilapidated houses, and some even just had a shed, where the people inside sat numbly and watched themselves arrive stupidly.

Many people also showed panic expressions when they saw themselves and hurriedly went to the side.

The woman walked with her, feeling a little arrogant and scented with a fox and a tiger.

Huo Yuanzhen didn't say much and kept following the woman into her home.

Her house can barely be regarded as a house, and compared with the neighbors around her, it seems that she has a good life.

After entering the room, a man was lying lazily on the bed. When he saw Huo Yuanzhen coming in, he sat up in panic and murmured that he didn't know what to say.

"Lof, this is a master from the East. Passing by our place, you can prepare some food."

The man named Lof hurriedly got up, smiled at Huo Yuanzhen, and walked out of the house carefully.

It was only then that Huo Yuanzhen noticed that these little boys were actually the children of this woman and were sent outside to play.

"I wonder what the female donor is called?"

"Master, please call me Qinna."

"Amitabha, Qinna donor, I came to India for the first time. I don't know anything about the situation here. I don't know if the donor can briefly introduce it to me."

Qinna asked Huo Yuanzhen to sit down at this time, and she also sat on a chair next to her and said proudly: "Master, Qinna can say that if you want to know anything in this village, you can only ask me. The rest of the people are all the lowest-ranking Shudra, and they don't know anything."

"Oh! Shudra!"

Huo Yuanzhen knew a little about this. He knew that the ruling class of India was Brahmin, and the lowest class was Shudra. It seemed that there were two classes in the middle, so it was not so clear.

At this time, Qinna explained to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master, you may not be clear about the first time you came to India. There are four Varna social classes in India, namely Shudra, Vaisya, Kshatriya and Brahmin. Among them, Shudra is not a branch of the Aryans, and the other three classes belong to the Aryans, so Shudra is the lowest class. The people in our village are all the rest except me."

"What about Vaishya and Kshatriya?"

"Vaishyas are usually merchants and handicraftsmen. I am the Vaishyas. I was born as Vaishyas. Just because my father once believed in the Brahmin gods, the Brahmin priests were defeated by the Mauryan Dynasty of King Sala and lost their supreme power. My father's people were also executed, and I was sold here."

Qinna seemed a little unfair and continued: "Originally, the Brahmin sacrificial priests were the masters of India, and Kshatriya was just a royal family, nobles, and officials, but now the world has changed, Kshatriya is already the supreme ruler."

Huo Yuanzhen nodded. The Brahmin's glorious divine power was defeated. The Kshatriya class was equivalent to the gentry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but now it has become the master of India and established the Mauryan Dynasty.

etc!

Huo Yuanzhen suddenly realized that the Mauryan Dynasty was not the most glorious dynasty in India's history!

It turns out that in this world, the Mauryan Dynasty has just been established.

In the world I knew, several kings of the Mauryan Dynasty believed in Buddhism very much, but would this Mauryan Dynasty be the same as the one I knew?

Today, in India, Buddhism is in ruins. If it weren't for its own arrival, it would be possible that the Mauryan Dynasty would not have the same glorious Buddhist civilization as it knew.

He thought about it here, and Qinna continued on the other side: "The monks of India are now nobles and Kshatriya, so Qinna is afraid of the master. Even if I am still a Vaishya, I dare not offend the master."

Huo Yuanzhen wanted to ask something, but suddenly the food that Lov, who went out to make food, ran back in panic and shouted: "No, Master Bai Yi's people in the town came to catch slaves again!"
