From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Does the Ganges even need to cause harm?"

Xiaoyu complained, "It's been ruined by you Indians. I think it could have a completely new name, like Thirteen Deadly Rivers."

Because it has thirteen 'goods' for you Indians.

The first is a bathhouse, the second is a washroom, the third is a dishwashing pool, the fourth is a swimming pool, the fifth is a public toilet, the sixth is a crematorium, the seventh is an altar, the eighth is a drainage ditch, the ninth is a garbage dump, the tenth is a breeding ground, the eleventh is a bacteria field, and the twelfth is a toxin field.

In addition, it is a river, and as it flows, there is wind all the time, which blows the stench mixed together with the river to both banks!

These thirteen smell terrible! But they're supposed to be refreshing and invigorating!

"It's amazing you guys can actually stay here."

"Xiaoyu!"

Despite the undeniable truth of these words, Chen Long's expression remained serious—he couldn't possibly say them in front of the Indians!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Jumba, Xiaoyu was just joking.”

However, as her uncle, Chen Long would not criticize Xiao Yu in front of outsiders unless she actually did something that harmed the interests of others and violated morality and the law.

“It’s alright, Mr. Chen Long, your niece is very cute.”

If it were a devout believer, even if Xiaoyu was just a child, they would have already lost their temper upon hearing her words!

But Jumba didn't care at all what would happen to the Ganges River. He just smiled and tried to pat Yu's head, but she dodged him.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but Jumba immediately changed the subject and said to Chen Long, "Mr. Chen Long, do you have a problem with your teeth?"

"Perfect timing, I know a really good doctor."

"no need."

Chen Long hurriedly refused, but let out a "whoosh" and covered his right cheek.

This just proves the old saying:

Toothache isn't a disease, but it can be excruciating!

Even those who practice spiritual cultivation rarely endure the constant stinging pain when their teeth malfunction.

"Look how much pain you're in!"

Zumba chuckled and said to Jiang Liu, "I'll take Mr. Chen to see my private dentist first, and then I'll hand over the Riktajeba Sutra to you. I'll also ask you to deal with Barcelona and the others."

"Don't worry! Fighting bad guys is what we do best!" Xiaoyu waved her fist.

"I can rest assured that."

Jumba chuckled and led Chen Long out the door.

immediately.

With a thought, Jiang Liu freed the three ascetics who had been immobilized by his immobilization technique. Their legs went weak, and they stumbled.

"Get up!"

"go!"

"Go back and tell the master! Jumba has also found a spiritual master!"

The three of them rubbed their legs, helped each other, and walked towards the gate.

Lu Jin, who was guarding near the main gate and pretending to look at antiques, noticed the three people. He was puzzled as to why these three "Indian guests" were so nimble when they came in, but came out with difficulty, as if they were exhausted.

However, Lu Jin immediately remembered seeing a newspaper at the counter to the right of the museum's main entrance, the most prominent report being about an Indian man catching a lizard...

Looking at the three Indians who were dressed fairly well, Lu Jin suddenly understood—India is a "magical" country, not only because of its bizarre myths, but also because of its bizarre people!

We must never judge Indians by the standards of the outside world!

There are Indians who specifically buy tickets to visit the museum just to "see the toilets"—

Perhaps this is a very "normal" thing in this land.

and so!

As an outsider, Lu Jin decided to respect their cultural customs and way of life, but secretly vowed that even if he returned to the main world, he would never go to "India" again!

It's too "dirty"!

Half an hour later.

Jumba returned and handed the Rektajeba Sutra to Jiang Liu—a palm-sized book about one centimeter thick, containing three thousand words of scripture.

"This isn't right, is it?"

Xiaoyu took the book, flipped through it, and said, "Isn't the Rickttajaba Sutra only the size of a grain of rice?"

“How could the Riktajeba Sutra be only the size of a grain of rice? If so, how were three thousand characters carved on it?” Jumba straightened his back and raised his chest, having his own reasoning.

Before Xiaoyu could ask any more questions, Jiang Liu took the small book back, examined it carefully, and commented, "It is indeed an antique. Then let's go to Tuoluo City to find Basa Chang."

Wishing you all the best!

Jumba saw Jiang Liu and Xiao Yu off. Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying received a message from Jiang Liu through the light spot and also left through the front door and the back door to meet Jiang Liu and Xiao Yu on the banks of the Ganges.

"Is this really the Ricktta Jeba Sutra?" Xiaoyu was still skeptical.

Jiang Liu "believed" it at the time, and she couldn't say anything more in front of Jumba. Now that she had left the Indian Museum, she was naturally able to get to the bottom of things.

“The scriptures are true, but they do not have the effect of draining the Ganges River.”

Jiang Liu quickly flipped through the palm-sized book in his hand, no longer hiding anything, and told the truth.

"That old man can't bear to part with it?"

Xiaoyu was furious, believing that Jumba had deceived them.

"He knew about the existence of magic and understood that if the Riktajeba Sutra were to return to the Ganges, it would drain the water from the river, yet he still brought it back to India."

Having said that, Xiaoyu, being so intelligent, thought it over carefully and immediately came to a conclusion: "He did it on purpose? He has designs on the Ganges!"

why?

As soon as the thought crossed Xiaoyu's mind, she immediately considered a possibility:

Legend has it that the Ganges Riverbed is buried with inexhaustible gold and silver treasures!

"That greedy Jumba must want to use the Riktajeba Sutra to drain the Ganges River so he can go down and take those treasures!"

Despite the Ganges being disgustingly filthy...

Even India wasn't her homeland...

Even if she doesn't like the local customs, culture, beliefs, or lifestyle...

How the locals choose to live is their own business, and as outsiders, all they can do is choose to respect it!

Moreover, the Ganges River is related to the entire ecological environment of India. If the river were to suddenly disappear, it would not only affect the people of India, but also have a significant impact on this ecosystem composed of flowers, trees, fish, insects, birds and animals!

As the destined future Jade Sister, the Primordial Queen, she must view the relationship between humanity and nature from a higher perspective.

It is understandable that human beings want to develop and transform nature. She and her teacher, Jiang Liu, both believe in one thing: as long as we start with ourselves, human beings will eventually find a harmonious way between social development and the natural ecology, in order to achieve "harmony between man and nature".

But if one were to cause the entire Ganges River to dry up for personal gain—

That's going too far!

From a longer-term perspective, if the Ganges were to dry up, it would not only affect India, but the entire Earth's ecology and climate would change, and a large number of countries that are close to India, including China, would be the first to be affected.

The Earth's ecology and the human body's energy are all interconnected, where a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

"Shall we go back and find that Jumba?" Duanmu Ying suggested.

"No."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "Ordinary people's affairs are the most difficult to handle, especially here in India."

In the main world of China, no matter who it is, if they dare to conceal something for their own selfish reasons, he would slap them across the face long ago.

With District 13 backing her, America in this world can act without restraint.

But what about here?

Indeed.

In terms of sheer power, they could easily run rampant throughout the world, but if they did, they would lose the physical training for cultivation and become demons who manipulate magic, no different from the Holy Lord and other evil spirits.

Furthermore.

They eventually have to return to the main world. They can't just have their fun and leave the mess for Xiaoyu, can they?

"What should we do then?"

"When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless." Seeing Xiaoyu's furrowed brows, Jiang Liu remained calm and simply recited a line of poetry.

In an instant, Xiaoyu suddenly understood, and Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Those who cultivate themselves first accept their fate, then take control of their destiny, follow the righteous path, and maintain a stable mind. How could the word "destiny" ever leave them?

As long as one's mindset remains stable and doesn't become impulsive.

When the time is right and all the world works together, that time can be eternal!

"Have you figured it out?"

Once Xiaoyu's breathing had stabilized, Jiang Liu smiled slightly and asked, "What should we do next?"

At this moment, Xiaoyu seemed to have become the backbone of this team.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying exchanged glances, as if they understood Jiang Liu's intention—this was a test!

Xiaoyu said, "Let's cross the river."

That is it:

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. If my luck runs out and my strength diminishes, then my fate is sealed.

Chess pieces and players place their pieces on the board. A flip of the hand reveals the truth, a reverse reveals the truth.

All the scheming and calculation is in vain. I am one with heaven and earth, and I am the chessboard.

And so, Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Xiao Yu, all of whom were of stable character, walked along the Ganges River and were able to ignore the stench, fishy smell, and fresh stench carried by the wind. When they arrived at the nearby dock, they found only a small wooden boat, paid the fare, and ordered the boatman to take them to the city of Dhara on the east bank.

The boatman took the money but did nothing wrong. When he reached the middle of the river, he started to raise the price on the spot, and his gaze toward Lu Jin was filled with a strange lewdness.

Lu Jin felt uneasy under her gaze and was about to teach this Indian a lesson when he saw Xiao Yu step forward, snatch the oar from the man's hand, and kick him.
