Emperor Qin

The Hindu Kush Mountain, towering into the sky, is a huge mountain range rising from the west of the Himalayas and crossing westward to the Arabian Sea. The highest point is more than 7000 meters. It is the highest plateau in the world. The Chinese ancestors called it Buzhou Mountain, and it is a veritable roof of the world.

To the south of this mountain range, the entire Indian civilization was bred, but as if it was a joke from the sky, within this huge geographical barrier, there are several mountain passes that change the fate of the world.

There is a long and narrow corridor in this mountain range. To the east, it can go directly to the Xinjiang Basin; to the south, it can go directly to the Ganges and Indus River basins in India; to the west, it is the Mesopotamia civilization of the Babylonian world.

This mountain pass in northern India has become a catastrophe for Indian civilization countless times. The Aryans, Alexander, and Genghis Khan have all invaded from here.

Yan Jiang will go south to India through this long and narrow corridor to search for cotton and sugar cane.

His injury is not yet fully healed, his face is pale, and he coughs lightly from time to time, Huahua follows him thoughtfully, carrying hundreds of catties of seeds, and walks over mountains and mountains with him lightly—except for carrying weight, cats can live in mountains. Throw ungulates the distance of a Himalayan mountain.

Yan Jiang took out the map, stared at the path, and frowned in trouble.

After leaving the mountain pass, he will enter the Gandhara Basin and follow the Ganges River to the southern Indian capital of Fahrenheit. The distance is so far that he needs to walk nearly [-] kilometers.

More importantly, he helped Diodotus earlier and injured Arshak. Under the butterfly effect, Diodotus turned around and incited the rebellion in the Indian province on the mountain pass. King Ashoka has already sent people to suppress it, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to go this way.

The wounded king was happy for a while, and the butterfly crematorium.

Fortunately, it has been ruled by Greece for 100 years, and there are many people who can speak Greek, enough for him to learn daily ancient Indian.

He pretended to be a Daxia merchant all the way, selling some hemostatic herbs and avoiding the battlefield area.

But he still couldn’t hold back, because he heard that the city not far away was the land of Buddha’s Nirvana, with a stupa built by King Ashoka himself, and a large number of painted Buddha statues—it was troublesome, and Prince Gunara of King Ashoka was attacking there .

I'm just going quietly, it shouldn't be a problem... right?

Fortunately, because Ashoka believed in Buddhism, the caste system of Hinduism was not so strict, so he came all the way to the land of Buddha's Nirvana, but the Buddhist holy land, which should be very lively, is deserted for some reason, and few people can be seen. personal.

Yan Jiang looked at the deserted road and hid under the tree, feeling that something was wrong, a strong warrior suddenly fell from the tree and was thrown down by Huahua who was sneaking.

"Enemy attack!" the warrior shouted.

……

When King Ashoka Prince Gunara walked out of the semi-circular stupa, Yan Jiang was already preparing to clean up the dozen or so guards around him with the tiger.

Fortunately, the prince stopped the guards in time.

Yan Jiang also saw him at a glance.

It also seemed to see flowers.

The young man in his twenties had extremely fair complexion and was extremely handsome, but the most amazing thing was his pair of eyes.It is a brilliance beyond the reach of the sun, the moon and the stars, holy and transparent, and a kind of gentleness that makes people worship devoutly.

The two did not communicate, the prince just smiled gently, apologized to the guard for his offense, and gave him a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist as an apology.

The Buddhist beads were warm and moist, engraved with small and exquisite inscriptions, very ethnic, Yan Jiang immediately accepted, and then parted ways with him, and went to worship the real body of the Buddha himself.

Yan Jiang thought that when he saw Junara again, he should be in Fahrenheit City. At that time, he would use Buddhism as a cover to ask him to help collect seeds, but he didn't expect that it would be so fast.

He wandered around the Buddha's hometown for several days, and found that mung beans were produced here, so he spent some time collecting mung bean seeds, and continued on the road very happily.

He is still a wound medicine dealer, the price of the medicine is reasonable, and he can get a bone if nothing happens. As a wilderness expert, he can do first aid anyway.

A beautiful but very haggard woman took out her exquisite jewelry and begged him to save her husband.

Yan Jiang agreed, and followed him to a simple hut, first saw a few guards, and then Prince Gunara.

But this time, the flowers were almost withered, the star-like pupils of the other party, the eye sockets were turned outwards, and the insides were empty, and they were all gouged out. He stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and felt the scorching temperature. Eyes, once infected, are dangerous.

Yan Jiang didn't ask why, he applied the wound medicine to the prince, after thinking for a while, he still took an antibiotic that had expired for half a year, and injected it into him.

Prince Kunara survived the difficulties of life and death, and thanked him.

Yan Jiang saw that his mood was not very sad and indignant, and he was curious for a moment, and asked: "You suddenly have no eyes, why do you have no hatred or resentment?"

"The eyes are the cause of all troubles. Losing both eyes is also pure." Junara said in a low voice, "Everyone in the world praises my eyes. One day I picked one eye and put it in my palm, but I saw that it smelled bad. If it is for this reason Eyes, you can calm down one person's resentment, but if you don't have it, what does it matter?"

Yan Jiang didn't take it seriously: "Although I don't know who harmed you, but you have flattened one person's resentment, but the kingdom has lost its best heir. If the disaster and resentment caused by this cause, how can you use it?"

The other party "looked" in his direction, with an expression as if awakened from a dream, his thin body trembled slightly, and suddenly passed out.

When Yan Jiang reported him back to his room, he heard the exclamation of the princess and the guards, and a group of people cried bitterly with tears in their eyes.

It turned out that Prince Gunara's beauty aroused his stepmother's love, and he couldn't ask for it, so he felt resentful. He didn't know how to persuade King Ashoka, and the king sent an edict to let the prince choose his own eyes, abandon his status as a prince, and let go of his own eyes. In the field, several loyal guards were unwilling to abandon the prince and followed him.

Everyone discussed, the princess was worried about her child in Wangcheng, and decided to go back to Fahrenheit City.

Since they were on the same road, Yan Jiang simply went on the road with them.

But soon, they faced another problem.

Neither the warriors nor the concubine had anything to do with childbirth. Their money was quickly spent to seek medical treatment for the prince. When the concubine found Yan Jiang, she was already in the state of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But Gunara was very open-minded. He borrowed a bowl from Yan Jiang and took it himself-go begging, no, he was going to beg for alms.

Yan Jiang was the first target. A piece of sweet scone was melted away, and then he was dragged to help along the way, and then the prince came back richly.

He was born handsome, but lost his eyes, but his conversation was gentle and polite, and he was still proficient in Buddhism.

Yan Jiang was dumbfounded.

As if sensing his emotions, the prince smiled slyly, and it bloomed all over the mountain like a pure white flower.

……

In the following days, the prince bought a konghou again, and played the piano and sang all the way. His piano skills are superb, and his voice is unparalleled. Worry-free, but he distributed the extra income to the poor, and he was so generous that he could be called a saint.

Yan Jiang admired him so much, he cared about him unconsciously, and even neglected Huahua and His Majesty a little bit.

His Majesty was so angry that he almost exploded. He ran away from home for several days and came back only when he was so hungry.

Yan Jiang had to restrain himself, and after half a year, they finally reached Fahrenheit City.

It was the beginning of the royal banquet, and they were stopped outside the palace and could not see their son. The princess almost fainted from crying. Yan Jiang was about to say don't worry, but Junara said don't panic, I have a way to see my father king.

The prince then went to the stables and waited for the evening feast to begin.

When the time was right, he plucked the piano and sang.

The voice was so beautiful and the music was so amazing, as soon as he played the piano, the singing and dancing at the banquet stopped naturally.

The more Ashoka heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he asked the left and right, "It seems to be my son Junara's voice, but if he comes, why doesn't he see me?"

Then immediately ask someone to bring the luthier.

In this way, Yan Jiang, together with the prince and others, met King Ashoka.

Three months later, riding a small war elephant, it was getting late.

Thinking back to the past, Yan Jiang quietly picked up the string of beads.

What happened afterwards?

Kunara knew that his father did not give him the order to choose his target, so he relieved his knot, but he refused to tell his father who harmed him.

But King Ashoka was not stupid, he had to have his teeth marks on all his autographed letters, and the only one who could get the teeth marks was his first lady, who immediately disregarded the crown prince's persuasion, and took down Mrs. Furong to interrogate her.

The villain was put to death, but the prince was heartbroken. He felt that everything was caused by himself, and he had a fever.Then they broke up in anger.

He went to talk about Buddhism with Ashoka and asked him for seeds.

With Gunara as a guarantor, he became a guest of the Maurya Dynasty, and quickly collected the seeds he needed. Even after he was rejected by the Burmese natives when he wanted to go back to Qin through the poisonous path of Shu, King Ashoka planned to send a group of monks ( Army), used to teach physics, and Yan Jiang was so shocked that he immediately gave up his thoughts.

Later, Ashoka hoped that he would stay and assist Gunara, but Gunara had converted to Buddhism wholeheartedly, and only wanted to go to the East with him to preach.

Yan Jiang immediately woke up. Now the Central Plains is still fighting for a hundred schools of thought. Buddhism has been perfected after three major gatherings. It is too early to spread the Central Plains. Said that there was an unheard of seed in the north to be collected as an excuse, and took the little war elephant that Kunara had given him, and quickly returned to Xingku Mountain Pass.

At that time, His Majesty was making a fuss that if you don't leave, I will die for you, so he went along with it.

If he left without saying goodbye, Kunara must be very disappointed in him, right?

Just as he was thinking, Yan Jiang heard the sound of His Majesty waking up in his leather pocket, so he immediately put the Buddhist beads into the first aid kit, and continued on his way back east as if nothing had happened.
