Yu Yue's face was full of anticipation and excitement, and even his breathing became a little rapid. His eyes were shining, and he looked at the black robe as if he were looking at the Buddha himself. He said excitedly: "Say Well, how can we solve this problem? If you can really convince me, let alone introducing Buddhism to fight Liu Yu, it will be no problem for me, Yu Yue, to devote myself to Buddhism."
The black robe smiled slightly and said, "Do you know how Buddha Sakyamuni founded Buddhism?" Yu Yue curled up his lips: "I heard that when he was in Tianzhu, he was a member of the royal family, even a prince. Later, he saw through the mortal world, escaped into Buddhism, and founded Buddhism. He is somewhat similar to your predecessor Murong Chui. Could it be that he also wanted to cultivate immortality?"
Heipao said calmly: "It is correct to a certain extent, but it is not completely accurate. This Tianzhu is a piece of land that is thousands of miles southwest of today's Ningzhou, or it is a piece of land that is thousands of miles south after leaving the Western Regions. The mainland, this continent is a God-given land. The land is fertile, and a large river flows through it. The food production is extremely high. No matter who occupies this continent, they basically have nothing to worry about eating and drinking. In terms of living conditions, they are much better than those in the Central Plains."
Yu Yue smiled and said: "We in the Central Plains also have fertile land and big rivers, but our big rivers flood year after year. They are not as smooth and rainy as the big river in Tianzhu. This is what I heard a monk from Tianzhu say. , I guess it’s not a lie, after hearing what you said today, I believe it even more.”
The black robe nodded: "Actually, although Tianzhu has a convenient geographical location, like the Shu people, the conditions are too superior. Instead, the people live in ease and enjoy themselves without cultivating martial ethics. Therefore, they were invaded and conquered by nomadic barbarians from the northern grasslands. In our country, the northern Central Plains were temporarily occupied by the barbarians, but in Tianzhu, those barbarians from the north occupied their entire continent and took over from then on, becoming the rulers there."
Yu Yue frowned: "Didn't this allow the Hulu to succeed? Judging from the tragic fate of our Central Plains people, isn't it true that the local aboriginal people are living a life worse than death?"
The black robe sighed: "Yes, these foreign invaders destroyed the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu. After occupying this land, they divided the princes like the emperor of Zhou and established many small countries. The rulers of each country were priests and wizards. Such people are called Brahmans, and the religion they believe in is also called Brahmanism. This second-class people, called Kshatriyas, are the warrior class responsible for war and conquest. They also have to protect their homes and country, and they also have to do other things in peacetime. Administration and other management matters. This third class of people, called Vaishyas, are commoners in cities and farmers in rural areas. They are similar to our farmers in China. They farm their own land and have freedom of life."
"This fourth class of people are Shudras. They are mostly bankrupt Vaisyas and slaves, engaged in the trade of prostitutes. Their status is not the same as that of us people from the left of the Middle Kingdom, or tenants and merchants in your manors. almost."
Yu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief: "Listening to your analysis, it seems that no matter which country in the world, there is almost the same stratification. Our aristocratic family is equivalent to Brahmin, military men like Liu Yu are Kshatriyas, and Ordinary people are Vaishyas, and tenants and farmers who are not registered are Sudras. But what is that kind of slave status, a slave without any freedom in life? "
The black robe laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, these people in Tianzhu are called ***, or people who cannot be touched. Even Shudras are not willing to touch them for fear of being plagued." , these slaves can only work like slaves under the whips, and their greatest hope in life is to survive. They are the original names of the conquered Indian lands, the dark-skinned Dravinas People, many of the Kunlun slaves we see in the Central Plains were trafficked as slaves by these people."
A trace of unbearable color flashed across Yu Yue's face: "It's really too miserable. I don't live like a human being, worse than an animal. Although we have exploited the dealers enough, and it's not like we haven't bought slaves, but I won’t treat them like this. This goes against basic human nature. This ruler of Tianzhu really has no humanity at all, yet he can do this!"
The black robe said calmly: "Because these Dravina people, also known as untouchables, fought desperately when the northern barbarians attacked. After being conquered, they also continued to revolt. In order to pacify the barbarians, They have been fighting for thousands of years, killing rebels, rebels and then killing
, through countless massacres and bloodbaths, the resistance of the untouchables was completely suppressed, and no one dared to rebel anymore. They really became untouchable slaves like dogs and sheep, living for life. "
"So, these foreign rulers brutally suppressed and ruled the large number of slaves, driving them like cattle and sheep, and often sacrificed them as human beings to the gods of Brahmanism. Think about Shang You can imagine how horrific and bloody the sacrifices of people during the imperial period were."
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "How could such a bloody and cruel country exist in the world? The Shang Dynasty was too cruel and sacrificed people constantly. They conquered everywhere and finally perished. I think the country established by these barbarians in Tianzhu, If you don’t practice kindness and righteousness, it will never last long.”
The black robe shook his head: "They suppressed them there for hundreds or even thousands of years, and almost all the slaves who dared to resist were killed. The rest just wanted to survive, working under the scorching sun and whips all day long, and they did not dare to rebel anymore. On the contrary, the countries established by these barbarians are constantly attacking and killing each other, especially in their north. Wave after wave of grassland barbarians are also constantly moving south. The king's flag changes on the city wall. Don't look at them when they bully those cheap slaves. The land is ferocious, but if people turn around and attack the country and become slaves, the fate will not be any better than that of the Shudras."
"Sakyamuni was born in such an environment. The country he was in was facing great pressure from foreign invasion. From his father to his mother and his brothers, everyone was terrified. And in his early years, Sakyamuni He practiced Brahmanism and traveled across the country. He saw many scenes of the strong bullying the weak and slaves as humble as dust. He felt that there were many injustices and sufferings in the world, so he came up with the idea: Practice hard to become a monk, stay away from the world, and understand the way to the paradise world."
Yu Yue laughed: "Is this method the creation of Buddhism? With Buddhism, war and oppression in the world can be ended, and the suffering slaves can be allowed to become individuals again? I'm afraid he doesn't have this ability!"
