From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes...

# Chapter 1009 The Buddha said: Cremation

Ignoring Zhang Zhiwei's questioning gaze for the moment, Jiang Liu, after finishing his meal, said to the village chief, "Village chief, the origin of Snow Maitreya has already been explained by Fifteen. It was roughly born from water burial."

"And this current group of Snow Maitreya are villagers from your village and nearby villages who have died in recent years fighting against Snow Maitreya."

Upon hearing the reason, the village chief sighed and said, "I thought it was Fifteen lying to me, but since the Living Buddha said so too, it must be true..."

But what should we do in the future?

"Cremation would be better."

Jiang Liu made the suggestion directly.

Cremation?

The village chief was startled, his voice trembling slightly, "We can cremate them?"

Why not?

High-ranking monks are human beings, high-ranking officials and nobles are human beings, but you are not human beings?

Why are they allowed to be cremated after death, but you can't?

That doesn't make sense!

As long as someone is still a human being, they can be cremated!

These righteous and eloquent words caused the village chief's eyes to tremble. Gazing at the river, he seemed to see the Buddha himself and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask the name of the Buddha?"

"My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Liu."

Jiang Liu said loudly, "If any eminent monks or high-ranking officials talk about your burial ceremony after your death, ignore them!"

If they were to intervene directly, then the high monk must be a fraud! And that nobleman must be a malicious person!

"If you all work together, you can drive them out!"

The village chief slowly stood up, his face grim, turned around, and walked out of the house, shouting as he ran, "The Living Buddha said we can be cremated after we die!"

"Really?"

"We have all been blessed by the Living Buddha!"

"Great!"

In an instant, the whole village was filled with a joyful atmosphere, not only because Xue Mile's problem had been solved, but also because a "Living Buddha" had personally spoken up, saying that they could be cremated after their death!

Isn't this a joyous occasion?

"See that, Brother Zhiwei? This is why I brought those corpses back." Jiang Liu chuckled.

“But you also made them believe in your identity as a ‘Living Buddha’.” Zhang Zhiwei gnawed on a beef leg, slightly speechless.

"Please, even if you explain now, they won't believe you."

Jiang Liu shrugged.

What's more, the old foreigner, while drinking barley wine, exclaimed, "I believe Jiang Liu is a celestial being descended to earth!"

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

"Even the old foreigners say that, let alone the villagers here?"

Jiang Liu shrugged, slightly helpless, "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day."

That's true.

But there's also an old saying that goes:

Taking too big a step can easily lead to trouble.

In our area, ordinary people pray to gods and Buddhas by worshipping at any temple they see, without caring at all what deity is enshrined in the temple.

Ultimately, whether it's seeking wealth or children, most people are simply seeking peace of mind.

But the people in Tibet who pray to gods and Buddhas truly have faith.

If the Gonpas come here in the future and try to change the local beliefs, forceful methods will certainly not work.

Even if it's for their own good, they won't listen. If someone with ulterior motives tries to incite them, they'll risk their lives!

People with faith and those who merely seek peace of mind think and act in completely different ways.

This is also the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people. If an ordinary person also has faith, then even if he does not practice Qi, he is no different from an extraordinary person.

And this faith doesn't necessarily have to be a clay sculpture...

Brother Zhiwei, you understand what I'm saying, right?

"can!"

Why not?

When Zhang Zhiwei was a bodyguard, the person he protected, that division commander, was a person with faith, but his faith was not that of a clay statue!

They want to turn the world upside down and create a new one!

In the future of this world, in the distant future, everyone can have faith! This coincides perfectly with Jiang Liu's idea that extraordinary people should return to humanity!

And that faith—

If one has the ability and the belief in one's own ideals, one can create new glories!

If your abilities are limited, then you can't go wrong by believing in those who are capable and following in their footsteps!

at the moment.

Changing the beliefs of everyone in this village is simply impossible to achieve in one generation.

Since they cannot stay here for long, it would be better to use their spiritual refuge to temporarily change their "bad habits" until a messenger comes here in the future to carry out further education. That would be the right way.

After figuring all this out, Zhang Zhiwei, seeing Lu Jin's calm demeanor, asked, "Brother Lu Jin, you don't seem curious about Jiang Liu's move? Have you seen it before?"

"I've met you."

Lu Jin took a sip of barley wine, chuckled, and recounted his experiences with Jiang Liu and Li Muxuan in Goose City. He then concluded, "To mend a broken spine and piece together a shattered heart, one must first find a pillar and a framework."

True despair comes from having nothing to cling to in one's soul.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If they really shatter the villagers' faith in gods and Buddhas, and they can't stay here for long to educate their minds, who knows what kind of trouble will follow!

Internal strife among people is far more terrifying than those mountain spirits and monsters!

Silent all night.

Day two.

As dawn broke, the village chief wanted to keep Jiang Liu and his group for a few more days, but they wanted to go up Kunlun Mountain. Helpless, he could only send them off with white hadas (ceremonial scarves) and, together with the able-bodied men of the village, escort them to Gaqingpo, with Fifteen acting as their guide.

Fifteen was overjoyed, because he had already recognized Jiang Liu as a true "living Buddha" and was fortunate enough to be the guide of the living Buddha.

Even if you accidentally die while accompanying the Living Buddha, you can still be reborn in the Pure Land!

At worst—

You'll definitely be reborn into a better family in your next life!

The other able-bodied men in the village were extremely envious, but unfortunately, the Living Buddha didn't want too many people following him, lest something unexpected happen, and it only benefited that guy "Fifteen".

Stepping onto Gaqingpo, Shiwu bid farewell to the villagers and, together with Jiang Liu and the others, strolled in the golden light of the rising sun, leading the way like a Buddha's messenger clearing the path.

However, the silver-eyed nun following behind the group seemed to find the morning sun too dazzling, causing her eyes to sting. She had to have two lamas walk in front of her to shield her from the warm sunlight.

"Mother, do you really know where the ruins of the Demon Kingdom are?" Hua Ling asked the silver-eyed nun hiding behind the two lamas.

"Of course! The ruins of the Demon Kingdom are located between the four snow-capped peaks!"

Silver-eyed nun solemnly assured him.

“If you’re going to a place with four snow-capped peaks, then it must be Shenluogou Glacier,” Fifteen added. “That area is easy to spot!”

However, getting there is not easy; it takes at least three days. You have to cross Gaqingpo and walk through Zanggugou before you can actually enter that area.

There are other routes, but they take longer.

How long is Gaqingpo?

The old foreigner asked.

“Gaqingpo doesn’t look high, but it would take at least a day to climb it without rest.” Fifteen believed that Jiang Liu and the others would be fine, but the elderly silver-eyed nun might need to rest several times.

But the silver-eyed nun felt slighted and said with a sinister smile, "Young man, don't worry about me. I have been cultivating for so long, and although this body is old, my strength will be no different from when I was young before I die!"

# Chapter 1010 Dragon and Phoenix Breeding in the Vast Kunlun Mountains

Seeing that the silver-eyed nun's breathing was even, Fifteen sighed that those who cultivate themselves are indeed different from ordinary people, and then focused on leading the way.

As they ventured deeper into Gaqingpo, the "oil lamp" light within the ancestral apertures of Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, Hua Ling, and others became three times stronger than before. The invisible light illuminated their entire bodies, preventing them from being affected by the primordial chaos energy outside that moved rhythmically along a certain path.

The light was invisible to ordinary people, but the silver-eyed nun saw it clearly, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Could these five be reincarnated saints?

No! No! Zhang Zhiwei does have some skills, but of the remaining four, only Lu Jin is barely passable...

Thinking of this, she turned her attention to Jiang Liu. She couldn't see through him with her eyes, but he was definitely the one with the most profound cultivation.

His breathing was no different from that of an ordinary person, and his steps were as heavy as if he had never undergone any spiritual practice, but despite being dressed in thin clothes, he did not get any goosebumps in the cold wind.

Even those with extraordinary cultivation levels would need to wear thick clothing at such high altitudes unless they possessed special abilities.

Be careful!

Immediately, the silver-eyed nun wrapped her cotton clothes tighter around herself, exhaled a breath of white air, and adjusted her breathing, hoping to prolong her aged body a little longer.

Jiang Liu ventured deep into Kunlun, personally experiencing the rhythm of the primordial primordial energy. He silently practiced the six-syllable mantra, gleaning some insignificant information which he transformed into something he could understand, leading him to a conclusion:
