Chapter 334 Kunlun Mountain Creation
Tianzhu, now also known as Shendu and Tiandu, normally requires walking through the Western Region, passing Congling, and then heading south from the eastern part of the Kushan Empire to the southern end of the Kushan Empire, which is almost there.
Well, this was probably the route taken by Monk Tang in his westward journey, and Liu Cang took the route he was thrown back by the Buddha directly, flying diagonally from Luoyang to Yizhou, out of the country, across the Qiang Mountains, and straight into Tianzhu next door.
As one of the four ancient civilizations, Tianzhu today is, well, how to put it nicely, a melting pot of cultures.
Fucked by the Aryans, Fucked by the Persians, Fucked by the Huns, Fucked by the Kushan Empire which is not known to be a great Yuezhi.
The result is that the Tianzhu race is complex, rarely unified, and incorporates many characteristics of civilization. On the basis of being somewhat spoiled, the upper culture is very complicated.
Well, the bottom class is uneducated and they are all Shudras (permanent slaves).
As the birthplace of Buddhism, Tianzhu actually has many sects. Buddhism, theosophy, and a certain unnameable sect are the mainstream, and each has its branches, worshiping many random gods.
During this period, Tianzhu was ruled by the Kushan Empire. In fact, Tianzhu could no longer be regarded as the name of a country. Most of the time, it could only be used as a reference to a region.
The image of the Buddha in Han Dynasty in later generations seems to be that a certain emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty had a dream about a tall, fat golden man, and then the court officials told him that there were countries in the west that worshiped this thing, so... Well,
If we talk about the smell in detail, it will easily lead to criticism, so we might as well not mention it.
In short, regarding the concept of "Buddha" in Han Dynasty, the strong thinking would probably say grasping, while the weak thinking would probably say welcoming. The Buddha entered the White Horse Temple of the Han Dynasty.
There was already a Buddha in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the Eastern Han Dynasty prohibited the spread of Buddhism, and they have been helping the Buddha to be transformed.
The Tianzhu religion was the most prosperous, and the Buddhas of later generations were actually the product of a group of nagging people in the Han Dynasty who put knives on their necks to 'transform the beard'.
To put it simply, it is just a new toy for the ruling class.
Moreover, the Han Dynasty mastered the method by which ordinary people can burn relics. This is another thing that is difficult to say in detail. It probably has something to do with some alchemists. It is somewhat taboo to go into detail.
Relics, actually...hehe.
Liu Cang, who was not a Buddhist, was not interested, and Dong Zhuo obviously had no interest either.
After Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he also defeated the White Horse Temple in the autumn wind. The monks inside died and fled, and scattered to all parts of the Han Dynasty.
And Liu Cang definitely didn't come to Tianzhu for any gods or Buddhas. He came here purely to eat elephants.
Giant eagles soar in the sky, the humid and warm environment, looking at the earth, mountains and dense hardwood jungles create an excellent natural scenery.
Tianzhu is a fertile black land with abundant water and soil resources. Apart from being exploited by groups of foreign ethnic groups, there is basically nothing wrong with it.
In towns and villages where humans gather, elephants, or even herds of elephants, can be seen from time to time on relatively flat roads, riversides, mountain sides, and in dense forests.
There are really many elephants in India, and because they have been domesticated for a long time, elephants have become an important part of the national culture here.
Domestic elephants can be seen here from the Brahmin temple to the Sudra villages. There are many wild elephants scattered in the wild jungle here and can be caught everywhere, which also prevents Liu Cang from causing trouble to the people here.
international friend.
Most of Tianzhu is now under the rule of the Kushan Empire, and the Kushans used Tianzhu as an area for quarrying stone and processing carved products.
The scenes of quarrying, carving, and poorly dressed people driving elephants to haul stones and sculptures seem to never stop on the official road here.
Over an ancient temple located on a flat hill near a vast forest, a giant eagle flew over, causing a large number of monks to kneel down and chant.
The cry of "Jiligulu, Jiligulu."
After studying with personal trainer Roxana for many years, Liu Cang could barely understand Sanskrit. The words these people chanted probably meant: 'King Garuda from the Cathay Empire'
Well, under normal circumstances, Liu Cang would kneel down and walk around the land, without the need to communicate with anyone or fight.
Food, money, and even women, as long as he needs them, someone will give them to him with excitement.
The key reason for this phenomenon was the armor on his body and the Mo Dao forged from steel that he carried with him in order to reduce the burden of gold.
The metal armor is made of eye-catching material. In the eyes of the Indian people, this kind of armor weapon can only be owned by Brahmins and Kshatriyas with high status.
And those high castes naturally have a lofty status in Tianzhu and can enjoy everything as a matter of course.
The temple below is not a Buddhist temple, it should be a religious temple. Buddhism is not that prosperous in Tianzhu at least at this time. After all, several "big leaders" were taken away by the Han in the early years.
To say that the status of monks in Tianzhu is quite high, even if Liu Cang holds the noble magic weapon, they will not be so devout in their worship.
It's just that this temple seems to be embedded in the mountain. The complex of buildings, which covers an area no less than the Luoyang North Palace, seems to have been excavated and carved directly from a mountain.
When he discovered this temple earlier, Liu Cang was very curious and landed to check it out, which attracted a crowd of monks.
Well, Liu Cang's appearance at that time was really a bit magical.
Just riding a giant eagle, holding a long knife, a wolverine hanging on his shoulder, and a big snake wrapped around his arm that didn't hold the knife.
Well, it's not surprising that Feixiong followed Liu Cang, that big snake was actually a small python.
Because a python requires dragon-elephant qualifications to leap, Tietou's Titan Python Gu couldn't carry it away. Liu Cang simply got a small python and raised it from an early age. He tried to let it eat some elephant meat first. If he could eat dragon-elephant qualifications, he would
Can be kept for later use.
And this somewhat weird image, set off by a giant eagle like Gu Fu, was compared with some mythical figures by the monks in the temple.
Liu Cang just stopped by for a visit and had no interest in communicating with some strange monks. He was watched by people and left directly.

, anyway, this is the rumor of the temple grotto area that Liu Cang passed through for the time being.
Still ignoring the worshipers below, Jin Zi slowly raised his flight altitude, and the flock flew away with it.
This is not the first time Liu Cang has come here. Earlier, Liu Cang chose an inaccessible place in the nearby dense forest to eat elephants.
As a result, a rather embarrassing problem was discovered. At this time, Liu Cang was full again and was about to find a place to eat.
Well, I’m full.
Eating Titanoboa mutates its own digestive system. According to Liu Cang's estimation, about 500 people with a physical constitution can eat an adult elephant. After that, they can maintain body functions for about two months without eating or drinking under normal circumstances.
Liu Cang and his herd could probably eat up two elephants at a time, and Liu Cang didn't need to eat or drink for nearly three months.
It's a very interesting ability, but the more embarrassing problem is that the completion rate improvement of an elephant on Liu Cang's "Dragon Elephant" is stable at 0.5%.
After Liu Cang stuffed himself, he didn't need to eat or drink for three months. During this period, his digestive system was no different from that of a normal person, and it was impossible for him to overeat again.
Now Liu Cang's dragon-elephant completion degree is 84%. He rushed to Tianzhu to eat an elephant, but he ate one and took a rest for three months. It will still take seven or eight years to complete the dragon-elephant qualification?
This is very embarrassing.
Liu Cang had no intention of teasing with the Tianzhu people. If he did not return to Luoyang, it would be inevitable to find a way to eliminate food.
The withers flew away from Tianzhu and flew over the mountain tops. Liu Cang discovered that strenuous exercise at high altitudes can quickly consume his own energy.
After flying over the towering Everest, Liu Cang did not stop here and headed north to the western end of Kunlun Mountain.
Although the altitude is a little lower, Liu Cang chose a pale jade top here. The top of the mountain has a large area of flat terrain to settle down.
The peak is located surrounded by mountains. It is covered with white snow, clouds, mist and wind, making it feel like a fairyland.
From the peaks with an altitude of about 7,000 meters, you can see endless landforms in the distant mountains. Grasslands, large lakes, rivers, strange stone basins, and even deserts with wind-swept yellow sand and swamps with frequent thunder and lightning.
"Dang~dang~" The group moved freely, and Liu Cang took the tools that were still here earlier and started digging mountains and breaking rocks.
Well, ever since he saw the temple grottoes dug in the mountains in Tianzhu, Liu Cang had been observing them for a long time and planned to try digging on the peak he named Kunlun Jade Peak.
Well, hundreds of Gu eggs have hatched at home. In a year and a half, the number of people eating elephants while sightseeing in Tianzhu will probably increase. Anyway, they are just for digestion, and Liu Cang plans to dig a Kunlun Temple here.
.
The land transformed by Dangkang allowed crops to have super adaptability. Considering whether Dangkang could survive here, as a Han prince who occupied the imperial capital of Luoyang in every sense, Liu Cang somewhat let himself go.
"Hey Hugh~ Hey Hugh~~" He swung his arm to hit the hoe, and the hammer shook the mountain.
Alone on the snowy peak, Liu Cang hummed a tune and huffed and puffed on the peak of the ancestral dragon vein, and began to neglect his duties again.
