"The commander-in-chief of the Han Kingdom, we didn't know that Rigsama was accompanying him."
Jiubala Ti said in fear: "His religious title is higher than ours and is not subject to our control."
"We came here with the approval of Brahmin scholars and priests. Rigsama must have decided to come."
Brahmanism has a strict internal hierarchy. They divide people into four surnames, namely Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra.
These four surnames also represent different classes.
Brahmin: refers to the highest-status priests and scholars.
The priests and scholars correspond to the monks and nobles, who have the privilege of interpreting religious classics and worshiping gods.
They enjoy the right to give, meaning that everyone else serves them.
The 'Kshatriyas' are military aristocrats and administrative aristocrats, responsible for protecting the Brahmin class from life to life.
The 'Vaishya' caste refers to ordinary people who must support the first two castes in the form of taxes.
Shudras had a lower status and were serfs, servants and craftsmen, and were also the most populous caste. Considered a lowly miscellaneous caste.
There are also the lowest untouchables, who are not qualified to enter the caste system, or even enter the ranks of 'human beings'.
The body poison is this kind of social system with layers of exploitation. It is a natural distinction between high and low, so it is very suitable to be used for colonization.
"Brahmanism was forced into this state by Buddhism. Is there still a Brahmin sect in the contemporary era?"
Huo Qubing stared at the three of them, showing no expression at all from beginning to end, not revealing any changes in his heart.
“Ever since the Vedas were taken away, we have had no Brahminical sect.
All believers in the church have made an oath to God. Whoever retrieves the Vedas will be the next pope.
However, there must always be someone in charge within the church, so the teaching affairs are handled by two Brahmins, who are called scholars and priests respectively.
Beneath them is Rigsama who was just killed by you, the messenger of God, and below them are our four great lords. "
Jūbāluti 1510 said: "We come this time with the highest sincerity. The priests and scholars did not come because of safety reasons. We want to stay away from the banks of the two rivers where the power of the Buddha's followers is at its peak. It is a long way from here.
But scholars and priests are on their way to see the divine messenger in person.
Rigsama is just the educational guide for our activities in the northwest. And through the religious council, we only take orders from two Brahmins. We fully obey the wishes of the divine messengers, and the same is true for priests and scholars. "
The three of them expressed their stance together, bowed their heads and knelt down, and touched the instep of Huo Qubing with their foreheads.
But this time Huo Qubing moved his feet wearing combat boots to the side.
Jiubalati was stunned for a moment, did he touch his forehead and take his feet away?
This was the first time he encountered this situation, so he resolved the embarrassment on his own, moved his forehead forward, found the right position, and quickly and accurately pressed his forehead on Huo Qubing's instep: "Those who can carry the Vedas have obviously obtained the divine power. His guidance and recognition should have been our new Brahman (Pope)."
It means agreeing with Kongsamadhi to become the leader of Brahmanism.
Ji Yantian, who was next to him, was about the same age as him, but slightly shorter in stature.
Because of his position, he had been listening. Only then did he have the opportunity to speak: "We came this time and brought many gifts to the envoys of God."
The attendant outside the tent was called in.
Everyone is holding a gift box, which is a treasure of Brahmanism from all ages and is priceless.
There are a dazzling array of gems, scriptures, magical instruments, and treasures from the royal families of various countries.
Although Brahmanism is in decline, a emaciated camel is bigger than a donkey. The importance of this visit is self-evident, so naturally I don't dare to be stingy.
Ji Yantian added: "We have also prepared four saints from the sect to present to the divine envoys."
He didn't have much confidence in what he said. The reason was that Bai Nanyu was standing behind Huo Qubing.
The saint they presented lost all color in front of Bai Nanyu.
However, these so-called 'saints' of the sect come with unique skills unique to Brahmanism.
They have spent their whole lives practicing the art of great joy unique to Brahmanism, which is the art of bed reproduction passed down by Lu Xitan, who is known as the most charming and beautiful among the Brahman gods.
In a sense, they are specially trained to serve the powerful, and they can make people linger and indulge in them and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
The poisonous saints of the sect originate from ancient traditions. After girls from poor families enter puberty, they are forced to sell themselves to monasteries and become slaves (sexual) of senior leaders and Brahmin elders in the religion, so they are called "holy girls" , refers to a woman who serves a saint.
Huo Qubing accepted the gift, but was not interested in the poisonous woman and waved the others away.
Kongsamadhi will also leave with them, and Fuluzhi will also lead two thousand Han troops to directly take over the Brahmans in the northwest diocese.
Huo Qubing had already made complete plans for the next steps.
The samadhi of emptiness governs Brahmanism and becomes a sharp sword against Buddhist cultivators.
In addition to Brahmanism, Kong Samadhi was also born into a prominent family and was one of the beneficiaries of the caste system.
The family he came from will also join in under the command of Kongsamadhi and become the link and weapon used by the army to deal with the poisonous nobles of various countries, just like the role of Brahmanism.
At the same time, the ethnic group born in Kongsamadhi will form another kind of mutual restraint between divine power and royal power with Brahmanism.
At that time, there was a struggle between Buddhism and Brahmanism outside, and there was a struggle between nobles born in Kongsamadhi and the royal power of Brahmanism internally. The divine powers checked and balanced each other to prevent one family from becoming dominant.
The triangular structure will ensure stable colonization for a long time.
After doing this, the war against body poison will be considered a staged victory and have a relatively stable foundation.
Next, the Han army will gradually withdraw, retreat to the second line, and send troops to establish a garrison in Shendu to maintain deterrence.
It was the turn of the Brahmins to come forward, work hard and play their role, and work for the big man.
Various resources of body poison will be drained away by Han in large quantities.
All kinds of thoughts passed through Huo Qubing's consciousness.
He pondered over it and made sure there were no omissions, then he said to Bai Nanyu, "Go and rest. You can set off back to Chang'an in a few days."
"Um!"
Bai Nanyu agreed with a nasal voice and walked quickly.

Body Poison, Harappan City.
After Lu Zang and the four giants were defeated, they ran to this ancient city thousands of miles south of the holy river to regroup.
In the central prayer hall in the city, several people looked at each other in silence.
Things changed too suddenly.
In a short period of time, it collapsed to the point before your eyes.
There was no buffer in the process. The Han army attacked and then collapsed. It had only been more than half a month until now.
The Buddhist cultivator who was once the only one in Shendu came to the south to gather as if he was on the run.
"We have underestimated the Han Kingdom in the East." Lu Zang's face was full of resentment.
Wu Xiangmei said: "I received something that a saint should take a look at."
After he finished speaking, he took out a leather scroll and handed it to Lu Zang.
Several other giants were also there, all looking towards the leather scroll.
"It has been many days since I got this leather scroll. It had only been two days since Hua Clan was breached, and someone sent me this leather scroll."
"This is……"
On the leather scroll in Lu Zang's hand, there was also a map of Shen Du's national border, with two intersecting red lines drawn on it.
Its route direction almost coincides with the march route of the Han army commanded by Huo Qubing.
It can also be seen from the picture that the Han army's troops were sharp and advanced without hindrance.
Its marching route was almost a straight line, which shows that Huo Qubing did not pay attention to the obstruction of Shendu's various departments before using his troops, and adopted a straight-line strategy from the beginning.
The key is that the time when this leather scroll fell into Wu Xiangmo's hands was when the Han army had just become poisonous.
In other words, the Han army's subsequent march route... was predicted by this picture.
Could the person who sent this picture have the same thoughts as Huo Qubing during the march? !
He was using this picture to inform the giants in Shendu about his military capabilities.
"The other party said that it is not difficult to judge Huo Qubing's marching intention.
The Han army first appeared in the northeast corner of Wo Shen Du. They would definitely destroy and penetrate the richest area of Wo Shen Du along the Holy River.
Another Han army headed south along the Shendu River.
As long as Han can grasp the upper reaches of these two rivers, he will grasp the lifeblood of our body poison and take the initiative.
The person who sent this picture also said that if the Han army was stationed in Ishendu, it would not need too many troops, but the location chosen must be critical and would be centered around the holy river. "
Wu Xiangmei paused, and then said: "The other party once pointed out that we were divided into multiple countries, and our tribes were scattered accordingly. We do not have strong military combat capabilities, and we have no good generals, so we will be divided and attacked by the Han army. , winning consecutive victories over our tribesmen from all over the world.”
Lu Zang lowered his head and looked down. On the corner of the leather scroll were written the three words "the one who holds the weapon".
"Who is the other party?"
"It's Zonghengdao who has contacted us many times before and sent this picture scroll."
"Since he can predict the Han army's use of troops, can he be sure to defeat Huo Qubing in battle?"
"The other party said that no one in the world can boast of being better than Na Huo Qubing in using troops."
“However, this one is difficult to defeat, referring to head-to-head confrontation.
Because the Han army was already an elite force in many battles, even if it had the same military capabilities as Huo Qubing, it would not be able to defeat it on the frontal battlefield. "
Wu Xiangmo quoted the words of the man in charge: "But if you attack him unprepared, you will have a chance of victory."
"How to catch him off guard? He wants to cooperate with us?" Lu Zang seemed to have seen new hope, his eyes brightened slightly.
"The commander of the army said that the Han Dynasty will have a deadly battle with the Xiongnu this year, and Xiongnu Yudu is the divine general who can compete with Huo Qubing on the battlefield."
Wu Xiangmei said in a deep voice: "When the Han and the Xiongnu clash, the commander of the army hopes that our tribe of Shendu will obey his command. He will also pray to heaven and earth and make him the commander-in-chief of our Shendu soldiers and horses. , allowing him to gain military fortune and be able to gather troops.
Then when he sent troops to attack, Huo Qubing would never have imagined that he was in charge of my body and the poisonous soldiers would surely defeat the Han army and regain the lost land. "
Lu Zang and others all looked thoughtful and said solemnly:
"It won't be that easy. It's hard to predict what Han general Huo Qubing can do...but we can give it a try."
Time flies by like a white horse, and a few days fly by.
In early March, arrangements were made, and Huo Qubing took the 6,000 tribesmen he came with to return to the Kingdom of Magadha according to the route of the Ancient Tea Horse Road in later generations.
Then from Magadha, we entered southern Xinjiang.
Since this road has been marched once, the Ancient Tea Horse Road can be opened in advance, and the absorption of materials from the body poison will be faster and closer.
If Tang Monk had taken the Ancient Tea Horse Road, he would have saved a lot of disasters.
When the Brahman scholars and priests arrive, they will be asked to go to Chang'an to have an audience.
By the way, the initial colonial power of Shendu can also be handed over to the emperor.
The big ship Liu Qing was on had been parked in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, waiting for Huo Qubing to return.
He entered the body poison for almost a month.
Liu Qing's belly was slightly swollen and her cheeks were a little rounder. Her warm apricot-colored dress was blowing in the wind. She stood on the bow of the boat and watched her husband return in triumph.
As soon as he returned to Han, Huo Qubing felt something different.
He looked to the north with a little surprise: "What happened in Chang'an? In our country of Han, the whole world seems to be different from before."
Liu Qingyan said: "My husband didn't bring it."
Huo Qubing understood it after thinking for a moment.
He was busy fighting at the front, and Chang'an, or Dahan, was the most intuitive beneficiary.
And in his sea of consciousness, there are also personal gains brought about by defeating the poisonous countries. He obtained a golden military symbol and two jade symbols from the ancient well.
