From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

thump!

The boatman fell into the water and sank into the murky, dark Ganges River, creating ripples.

The Ganges gives birth to life, the Ganges nourishes life.

How come this person can't swim?

When the boatman's head emerged from the sewage, Xiaoyu said with a grin, "Lend me the boat first, I'll return it to you, thank you!"

Boatman: "..."

For a moment, Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying all smiled.

The energy with which he borrowed things—

Just like Chen Long.

I really don't know whether to call Xiaoyu domineering or clever.

all in all.

The problem with the boat has been solved.

Xiaoyu's uncle, Chen Long, had just had his teeth fixed by Dr. Weber when he couldn't help but sneeze, blow his nose, and mutter to himself, "Is Dad thinking about me?"

# Chapter 931 No True Nature in the City of Dhara

Ignoring the stench from the river, they crossed to the other side. After walking two or three miles, they indeed saw a small town.

Although it's called a city, it's not very big, with only a thousand households. It's more like a large village, with vegetable vendors and pedestrians coming and going in the streets and alleys, making it quite lively.

Walking down the street, Xiaoyu asked about the contents of the Riktajeba Sutra: "The real Riktajeba Sutra is still in Jumba's hands, but is the one he gave us genuine? What is it translated into something we can understand?"

"It is the Rebirth Mantra, whose full name is the Dharani for Eradicating All Karmic Obstacles and Attaining Rebirth in the Pure Land."

Without hesitation, Jiang Liu told him the truth: "In China, Taoism and Buddhism have merged, and many scriptures actually borrow from each other."

While orthodox Buddhism is located in our region, it originated in this land, and its early scriptures largely incorporated elements from various indigenous Indian sects.

"oh···"

Not understanding the contents of the Rebirth Mantra, Xiaoyu kept quiet.

Upon hearing about the Rebirth Mantra, Lu Jin was surprised and asked, "Reciting the Rebirth Mantra can lead to transcendence into the Pure Land. In terms of spiritual practice, it purifies oneself so that one can concentrate on cultivation. How could there be a rumor that the Riktajeba Sutra would drain the Ganges River if it returned to it?"

"It might be a 'pure land' on a physical level."

Duanmu Ying thought of a possibility.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

This is because the world has already formed a perfect cyclical pattern, with the Earth as the golden elixir and the ecosystem as the sacred embryo. If we consider it as a cultivator, then the Ganges River is so severely polluted, so isn't it in need of purification?

Eradicate the root of all karmic obstacles!

The Dharani for Attaining Rebirth in the Pure Land!

Did the monk who first inscribed the scriptures on silver blocks and created the Riktajeba foresee that the Ganges would one day be polluted to an irreversible degree?

In ancient times, there were no factories along the Ganges River, so there was no industrial wastewater discharge. However, the Ganges River was still used as a public bathing area, a place of worship, and people would throw their ashes into the river after they died.

"So, the Riktajeba Sutra can't actually drain the Ganges River, but can only purify its filth?" Lu Jin guessed.

"How could it be that simple?"

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes.

Indeed.

If we compare the Earth to a spiritual practitioner, then the efficacy of this Riktajeba Sutra, or the Rebirth Mantra, is indeed to cleanse the Earth of impurities and preserve its purity.

But how can you just throw the Riktajeba Sutra into the Ganges?

In any case, the rhythmic sounds created by the Earth's magnetic field and airflow should resonate with the sounds of the Rebirth Mantra.

In other words, the Earth needs to "recite" the Dharani Sutra, which removes all karmic obstacles and enables rebirth in the Pure Land, using the most profound and subtle sounds.

Or perhaps it is a person of extraordinary ability who connects the energy of heaven and earth with the energy of the human body, recites this scripture, assists heaven and earth in their cultivation, and thus purifies the filth in the Ganges River.

If we simply throw the Riktajeba Sutra into the Ganges—

It will be buried forever beneath the Ganges, like all the other gold and silver that sank there, never to see the light of day again…

Afterwards, Jiang Liu put the scriptures in his hand into his storage ring and asked Xiao Yu, "What are your thoughts on finding Basa Chang?"

"Go to a place where jade is sold."

Using the method of grasping the main points and organizing the details, Xiaoyu put herself in Basa Chang's shoes and judged according to her preferences. If Jumba was not lying and Basa Chang was indeed in this city of Tuoluo, then he must have set up a temporary base in a place where jade was sold.

They prefer jade to gold and silver.

That's just how Barcelona is!

I thought India had plenty of gold and silver but little jade, so I could quickly find out where to buy it. But who would have thought that most of the people there were cunning?

Or perhaps they deliberately gave the wrong directions, just for fun...

Or perhaps they're being led into a dead end, with the intention of scheming to seduce and sexually assault others...

"Now I understand why Indians are called 'Ah San'."

Xiaoyu kicked the Indian man who was trying to take advantage of her unconscious, took a deep breath, grabbed another Indian man nearby who looked terrified, pinned him against the wall, and asked him fiercely, "Tell me the location of the jade trading place in Dhara City, or I'll throw you into the Ganges!"

"Uh······"

The Indian was dumbfounded.

"I'd like to say something: throwing him into the Ganges might be a reward for him," Lu Jin whispered a suggestion.

Xiaoyu pulled a long face, took a breath, changed her tune, and said in a sinister tone, "Speak quickly, or I'll throw you into the lizard enclosure at the zoo."

The Indian man remained silent.

"Male lizard."

Xiaoyu added.

Instantly.

The Indian man's already somewhat flustered expression turned terrified at this moment. He dared not hide anything any longer and immediately revealed the location of the jade trading place.

"I know you won't dare to lie to me again!" With that, Xiaoyu struck the Indian man on the back of the neck, causing him to faint.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying ignored them and followed behind Xiao Yu, wandering around, passing through the main streets and alleys, and finally arrived at Jade Street.

Compared to other streets, there are fewer pedestrians on this Jade Street, and most of them are foreigners.

"True, Snake, Bull Warrior, and Parker?"

Not far down the street, the four members of the Dragon Group also spotted Jiang Liu and his group and walked towards them.

Bull Warrior: "Were you also invited by Sheriff Blake to come here to deal with Barcelona?"

Little Snake: "I heard Chen Long is here too?"

Tru: "Uh... Jade, Dad sent me to come and keep an eye on you."

Parker: "Ayu, long time no see, can you be my girlfriend?" As he spoke, he pulled out a super moose plushie.

"Oh, Parker, I don't like short guys like you."

Parker and Xiaoyu are the same age, but because girls develop faster than boys, Xiaoyu is 1.6 meters tall, while Parker is only 1.3 meters tall, a whole head shorter.

In addition, Xiaoyu keenly noticed something amiss in the conversations of the three of them.

There's nothing seriously wrong with the Bull Warrior's statement.

Where did the little snake hear that Uncle Long was here?

It's important to know that when Uncle Long isn't on a mission, Sheriff Black won't proactively tell anyone about Uncle Long's exact location.

Tru...

Her father was never particularly worried about her safety, so how could he possibly let Tru come and watch over her?

And Parker!

Why does this kid call himself "Ayu"? And Parker is a huge fan of the Bulls, how could he possibly "fall in love with someone else" and confess his feelings to him just because he's going through puberty?

That's too over-the-top!

More importantly, Parker stopped playing with the Super Moose a year ago, so how is he going to carry it around now?

But Xiaoyu remained calm and instead extended an invitation, saying, "Our mission is also to deal with Basa Chang and prevent Ricktajeba from falling into his hands."

“Then we can cooperate,” Tru said in a deep voice.

"By the way, have you found the Riktajeba Sutra?"

"The bull warrior asked."

“Of course.” Xiaoyu winked at Jiang Liu, who immediately understood and smiled, taking out the palm-sized Ricktajeba Sutra from his storage ring.

"Can I take a look?"

Parker's eyes were fixed on the scripture.

The little snake also stared intently.

"no problem."

Jiang Liu handed the Rickttajaba Sutra to the little snake.

"Thank you!"

The little snake took the scripture, then suddenly looked shocked and pointed behind Jiang Liu and the others, saying, "Barsa Chang!"

Jiang Liu, Xiao Yu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying all turned around, but they couldn't find Basa Chang anywhere.
