Yu Yue's face was full of anticipation and excitement, and even his breathing became a little rapid. His eyes were shining, looking at the black robe, as if he were looking at the Buddha himself, and he said excitedly: "Say

Well, how can we solve this problem? If you can really convince me, let alone introducing Buddhism to fight against Liu Yu, just letting me, Yu Yue, devote myself to Buddhism, there will be no problem."

The black robe smiled slightly and said, "Do you know how Buddha Sakyamuni founded Buddhism?"

Yu Yue curled up her 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.

Ah, is he also trying 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 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 you say it today, I believe it even more.”

The black robe nodded: "Actually, although the country of Tianzhu has a convenient geographical location, like the Shu people, the conditions are too superior. Instead, the people enjoy themselves comfortably and do not practice martial ethics. Therefore, they were invaded and conquered by nomadic barbarians from the northern grasslands.

In our Central Plains, the northern Central Plains were temporarily occupied by 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: "Doesn'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 Brahmins, and the religion they believe in is also called Brahmanism. This second class of people, called Kshatriyas, is a warrior class who are responsible for war and conquest. They also have to protect their homes and country, and they also have to

Doing administrative 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 despicable trades. Their status is similar to that of us people from the left in the Middle Kingdom, or the tenants and farmers in your manor.

"

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 Brahmins, military men like Liu Yu are Kshatriyas, and

Ordinary people are Vaisyas, 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. In Tianzhu, such people are called bitches, or people who cannot be touched. Even Shudras are not willing to touch them. They avoid them for fear of being plagued.

These bitches can only work like slaves under the whips. Their greatest hope in life is to survive. They are the original names of the conquered Indian lands, the dark-skinned Dravidians.

, 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. We don't live like a human being, we are worse than an animal. Although we have exploited the dealers enough, it is not that we have never bribed slaves, but

I won't treat them like this. This goes against basic human nature. The 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 with all their might when the northern barbarians attacked. After they were conquered, they also continued to revolt. In order to quell the barbarians, they

They have been fighting for thousands of years, killing rebels, rebels and killing again. Through countless massacres and bloodbaths, they have completely suppressed the resistance of the untouchables. No one dares to rebel anymore. They have really become like dogs and sheep.

A lowly slave who lives for the sake of living."

"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 dynasty were."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "How could such a bloody and cruel country exist in the world? The Shang Dynasty was too cruel, sacrificed people constantly, conquered everywhere, and finally perished. I think the country established by these barbarians in Tianzhu,

If you don’t practice benevolence and righteousness, it won’t last long.”

The black robe shook his head: "They suppressed them there for hundreds or 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 again.

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 invasions. From his father to his mother and his brothers, everyone was frightened. 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 too much suffering in the world, so he came up with the idea:

Practice hard and 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!"
