From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

After finding out the location of the Indian Museum, the four immediately left the dental clinic and rushed to the museum.

Although this museum is named after "India," it is a privately owned museum with a diverse collection of exhibits from all over the world, many of which are rare treasures that money cannot buy.

Little did they know how capable this curator, Jumba, truly was.

After entering the museum, the four of them split up.

Lu Jin guarded the front gate.

Duanmu Ying went to the back door.

Xiaoyu went to Chen Long to tell him about the Riktajeba Sutra, and told Jumba that if possible, they should get their hands on the sutra first.

What about the river?

They then openly and confidently toured the museum's collection.

These are all genuine!

With a discerning eye, Jiang Liu can observe the traces of time these antiques have undergone from ancient times to the present, thereby enhancing his spiritual cultivation.

Just as the system of "feelings are engraved in memory, memory gives birth to thought, thought forms consciousness, consciousness generates ideas, ideas inspire spirit, spirit elevates the mind, and the mind dominates the primordial spirit" is constructed step by step, but once it is completed, it does not mean that the spirit, ideas, consciousness, thinking, memory, and feelings before the awakening of the power of the mind are no longer important.

On the contrary.

The power of the mind needs to be inexhaustible, which requires the most basic feelings and memories.

If we compare this system to a tree that is constantly growing, then the steps before reaching the state of "mind-driven spirit" are all part of the tree's growth process.

Once the trees have grown, they will experience the cycle of growth and decay throughout the four seasons.

The so-called cultivation of the Dao is similar to the annual rings of this "Tree of Primordial Spirit". With each passing year, a new annual ring is added, and so on.

This is Jiang Liu's further understanding after comprehending the Great Vehicle Dharma of the Golden Elixir and Sacred Embryo, forging a true primordial spirit, and cultivating six of the eight aspects, enabling him to truly achieve the primordial spirit leaving the body and reuniting with the world of this realm!

He even had some understanding of the true nature of the so-called "Dao Fruit"...

"Help!"

Just as Jiang Liu was admiring the past of a piece of Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain, his ears twitched slightly, and he saw an old man running towards him in a panic, followed by three burly men dressed in white Taoist robes and wearing large millstone hats.

Upon seeing Jiang Liu, the old man grasped at a straw and cried out, "Please save me, friend, I can pay you!"

Jiang Liu didn't say much, only uttering the word "Stay Still." Unlike usual, there was no need for the trouble of transforming Yin and Yang with Qi. Just the information contained in this one word affected the omnipresent primordial chaos Qi, causing the Yin Qi in the nine orifices of the three Indian ascetics to tremble and connect with each other, competing with the Yang Qi in their bodies, resulting in their bodies becoming stiff and unable to move.

Words become law; nothing could be more true than this.

The old man hid behind Jiang Liu and, seeing the three men chasing him unable to move as if they were wooden statues, exclaimed in surprise, "Are you a sorcerer?"

"Old man, could you please tell me what happened?" Jiang Liu didn't bother with his insightful questions, but simply asked the old man for the reason.

"I am the curator of this museum."

The old man was none other than Jumba. Looking Jiang Liu up and down, seeing his youth, his Eastern origins, and his magical abilities, he seemed to realize something. He glared at the three immobile, speechless ascetics, their eyes filled with resentment, and cried out, "They are disciples of Mohaji, evil men, trying to steal the wealth I've accumulated my entire life..."

Do you really think I'm some clueless outsider?

The river flows silently.

Even though this is India, there are laws and police officers. How could three ascetics dare to brazenly walk into Jumba's museum and rob it?

Although there is no organization in this world that manages extraordinary individuals, the relevant departments will not tolerate mages and cultivators who disrupt social stability.

He didn't reveal the truth, but just laughed and said, "Now that I've trapped these three thugs with my immobilization spell, you can call the police. I still want to admire your antiques, after all, I bought a ticket to come in."

Seeing that Jiang Liu was not playing by the rules, Jumba was speechless for a moment, but quickly calmed down and said to Jiang Liu, "Then let me introduce you to the antiques in my collection."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jumba."

Jiang Liu did not refuse.

These two people—

One, harboring ulterior motives and plotting schemes, and the other, with a clear and serene mind, quietly walked through the corridor, discussing the past and present in a harmonious manner, but they tacitly ignored the three Indian ascetics who were still stuck in place.

"Hey!"

At this moment, Jumba sighed and said to Jiang Liu, "Mr. Jiang Liu really knows a lot about antiques, but these antiques are probably going to be smashed to pieces."

"how you said that?"

Having finally seen the real culprit, Jiang Liu changed his mind and stopped admiring the antiques for the years they had endured. "Mr. Jumba, are you afraid those ascetics will cause you trouble again? I think if you just call the police, the relevant departments will definitely handle the matter."

Zhumba was increasingly speechless as Jiang Liu never mentioned "calling the police" in his speech. He simply said, "They are not the problem. The problem is that another group of people want to steal my treasured items. Moreover, there are many of them. They may come to my museum to steal them tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even today. What use are ordinary police officers?"

"Mr. Jiang Liu, since you are a monk, why don't you help me?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Liu feigned surprise, "There's another group? Who are they?"

"G-Ji-hui, Barcelona Chang."

After saying that, fearing that Jiang Liu would mention "calling the police" again, he quickly added, "If you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you my most precious collection!"

"A word is settled!"

Under Jumba's shocked gaze, Jiang Liu readily agreed. He then took out paper and pen from his storage ring, hastily wrote a document, handed it over in duplicate, and instructed Jumba to sign and affix his seal.

Seeing this, Jumba was dumbfounded and had no choice but to sign and affix his seal.

Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction and clasped his hands in thanks to Jumba, saying, "Thank you for your care!"

"..."

Zumba was speechless for a moment, cursing Jiang Liu inwardly for being such a cunning person, but he had no choice but to compose himself and force a smile, saying, "Then I'll leave Barcelona to you!"

"No rush, I need to get to the bottom of this."

But after Jiang Liu put away the documents, he shook his head and said to Jumba, "I also know that Basa Chang. He is one of the high-ranking members of the G Foundation, but he is a fool who is obsessed with jade and doesn't love gold."

India has a lot of gold but little jade.

Even if you have one or two precious jade pieces in your collection, why would he go to such lengths to take them from you? The truly rare and valuable jade pieces are in museums in France and England!

Upon hearing this, Jumba was startled, realizing that Jiang Liu was testing him. His heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. He simply spoke a little faster than before, saying, "He's not after the jade, but after the Riktajeba Sutra!"

The Riktapura Sutra was a text my father found in a temple; it was later transported to the British Museum…

After my father died, I took over this scripture and last year transferred all the museum's collection to India.

As you can probably tell, I have Indian ancestry, so naturally I want to send this scripture from ancient India back to China, and I plan to exhibit it in a museum when the time is right.

But who could have imagined it?

Since returning to India, Mohaji, who is eager to gain strength from the scriptures, has frequently sent people to harass him... and now he is also being targeted by Barcelona.

Oh, I'm so troubled.

“I can help with that, but do you know where Barcelona’s Chang is now?” Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

"I know, I know, how could I not know?"

That dentist Webber didn't know where Barcelona usually was.

However, Dzumba had connections and had already found out where Barcelona was located—

The city is just across the Ganges.

Dharani City!

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised by this. He quietly activated his Insightful Eyes to take a look and then realized what had happened. He looked enlightened.

It turns out that the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures also happened in this world.

Chen Yi crossed the Ganges, stayed in Varanasi for a while, and then went to Nalanda Monastery... But the people there also longed to go to a more prosperous place to live.

what's going on?

The world seems to be a cycle!

It seems that Chen Yi in this world, like Chen Yi in Jiang Liu's main world, has come to realize the truth that "as long as one's heart is sincere, Mount Ling is right at one's feet."

That's how this city was built.

Its essential purpose is probably only one.

I don't want those Indians who yearn to live in prosperous lands to lose their lives on their journeys in vain.

Remain in India.

Seeing oneself and all beings, and unifying knowledge and action, can also generate wisdom and cultivate one's state of mind.

But unfortunately—

With Jiang Liu's current insight, Nadra City no longer has many practitioners; instead, it is full of people from local Indian religious sects, just like Varanasi City. The believers are mostly attached to the idea that the holy water of the Ganges can cleanse their bodies and minds of impurities and sins, and there are very few practitioners.

It aligns with the orthodox Buddhist tradition, and its philosophical wisdom and principles of practice belong to China!

Regaining his composure, Jiang Liu teased Jumba again, saying leisurely, "You said before that Mohaji and his men often harassed you, their target being the Reiktajeba Sutra..."

It seems you've been back in your hometown for quite some time now.

Those three were nothing to me, but ordinary people would be too scared to move just by seeing their size.

How did you manage to keep going for so long?

Seeing that Jiang Liu had asked about Mohaji, Jumba cursed Jiang Liu's endless nagging inwardly, but could only take out two photos from his pocket and sigh, "I've known for a long time that magic exists in this world, so I hired two bodyguards on my way to India, one is Ms. Martindale, and the other..."

Perhaps you've seen it before?

After taking the photo, Jiang Liu stared at the dentist Weber, who was showing off his big white teeth, for a long time before shaking his head seriously and saying, "I don't recognize him."

Zumba: "......"

"Haha! Of course I know him! Just kidding!" Jiang Liu handed the two photos back to Jumba, then asked seriously, "So, do you know who Dr. Webber is?"

"He's ostensibly a dentist, but he's actually a secret agent, at least that's what he told me." Jumba put away the photos, straightened his suit, and then saw Xiaoyu pulling Chen Long out from the corridor beside him.

"Mr. Jumba."

Seeing that Jiang Liu was also there, Chen Long got straight to the point, explaining the matter of the Riktajeba Sutra and hoping that he would relinquish this collection to prevent any possibility of the Ganges water being absorbed. "So, you understand, right? Hiss—"

As he was talking, Chen Long's tooth started hurting again.

"Oh, of course I understand."

Surprisingly, Jumba did not hesitate much. He simply sighed and agreed to hand over the Riktajeba Sutra, saying, "It's better to give it to you than to let the others, like the others, take it away from the Ganges and let it go to you, away from this ancient and prosperous land."
