Chapter 510: Three-phase God
"The Trimurti is the creator of this universe. A lotus grew out of Lord Vishnu's navel, and Brahma was born from the lotus. When they were arguing about who would arrive in this world first, a boundless pillar of fire appeared above this world. So Brahma and Vishnu made an agreement with the pillar of fire to be a witness to who could reach the end of the pillar of fire. Whoever reached the end would be more noble. Then, Brahma met the pandanus flower and cheated, but Vishnu did not, so the pillar of fire turned into Shiva, making it impossible for Brahma to accept sacrifices from then on. So Brahma began to create the world, Vishnu was responsible for maintaining the world, and Shiva was responsible for destroying the world. This is the Trimurti."
You told the story of the Trimurti that you knew, and then you found that the smile of the man named Krishna became quite forced and awkward, and even had a feeling of disbelief.
"Is it over?"
He asked.
"Well, it's over."
You nodded, and your straightforward attitude made your clan leader feel that your clan was doomed.
"ah……"
The man named Krishna covered his forehead and spoke to you amidst the laughter of his wife.
"It seems like you need to learn more. It is really strange that someone who is called a sage and a prodigy does not know the meaning of the Three-Phase God..."
He looked speechless and distressed, but his wife laughed even more happily, making his expression even more helpless.
"Krishna, this is not difficult to understand, is it? This child has never been educated."
The woman named Yan Guang smiled and began to speak.
"Yeah, so he has to get a good teacher."
But his words made the people who followed him very confused.
"Sir, he is only a Vaisya, let him learn whether..."
These are the words of a nobleman, but immediately, you will find that the face of the man named Krishna becomes quite cold, even angry.
"I have told you many times not to deprive others of their right to education based on their background. Moreover, if such a talented person cannot obtain more talents, his talent will be wasted. He can make farmers grow more food, craftsmen weave more cloth, and find new medicinal herbs and spices. Do you still think he is a simple Vaisya? He is my treasure, our treasure, and you want to let the treasure be covered in dust. It is difficult to find anything more stupid than this in the world."
The noble who spoke immediately turned horrified, and quickly said that he didn't dare. But fortunately, Krishna didn't mean to reprimand him, but instead looked at you.
"Go north from here, near a snowy plain. As long as you can cross the snowy mountains, you will find a warm forest and a group of ascetics. There will be a man covered in jewels but with a dharma drum tied around his waist. Tell him that Krishna sent you here, and he will teach you knowledge, all knowledge."
But you shook your head, because if you acquire too much knowledge as a Vaisya, your family will be attacked by other Kshatriyas and Brahmins.
Although you are eager to gain more knowledge, you also know that your parents are not as powerful as you.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am only a Vaisya and am not really suited to gaining more knowledge, as I do not want to bring trouble and accusations upon my parents."
The man named Krishna just stood up.
"madness!"
He looks very angry.
"I order you in the name of... the king. You must go! And ask for advice and learn from all the teachers you meet along the way. Unless he drives you away and you become a master, you cannot leave or come back! Not only that, after you finish studying in the snowy mountains, you must find a man named Bahs! He is practicing hard in the snowy mountains. You must destroy an Asura tribe before you can see him. And if you dare not obey, I will take back the land under your feet! But if you go, I will promise to the Trimurti to protect the safety and happiness of your parents!"
You have no choice but to follow orders.
But you knew that your trip was likely to be dangerous. But for the sake of your parents and family, you still left under the worried gaze of your parents.
You said goodbye to your parents and started walking on the road.
You keep walking with Krishna's token and pass by a monastic forest and a large group of children on the way.
You walked by carefully, wanting to inquire whether there were any teachers worth learning from here. After all, for a Vaisya like you, the orders of the Kshatriyas were absolute.
You don't want to comply, but you are still responsible for the lives of your parents and family.
Then, you saw a dark-skinned boy about your age shooting arrows, and you also found a fair-skinned, very handsome boy who noticed this person just like you.
The two of you noticed each other and made noises subconsciously. The boy who was practicing archery naturally saw you as well, and in surprise he shot arrows at both of you at the same time.
You subconsciously bent your bow and shot an arrow at the incoming arrow, and also shot an arrow at the boy who appeared with you, trying to stop the black-skinned boy from killing the other.
Then, something happened. The six arrows split into two groups and collided with each other, then landed at the same time.
You and the white boy realized that you both subconsciously gave each other a helping hand.
"Who are you?"
The black boy asked.
"I am Karna, and I came here to learn archery from Master Drona."
The white boy spoke, but you noticed that he didn’t say his last name.
And you spoke up.
"My name is Kama Arusha Gupta, and I want to see if there is anyone here who is worthy of my apprenticeship."
Your words made the two boys look at you at the same time, and they told you your class at the same time.
"Vaishya?" X2?
Such synchronization made the two boys stunned for a moment, and then they both showed you a puzzled look. Then the black-skinned boy spoke.
"Master Drona will not teach a Gupta's son, and a farmer's son is not worthy to study with us, so you'd better leave here now. You are overstepping your authority."
There was a lot of pride in his tone, and he seemed to be extremely disgusted with your behavior.
And you find that the boy who didn't want to reveal his last name had the same expression on his face, but it was not as obvious as that of the black-skinned boy.
"I understand, but my king has ordered me to consult with all the teachers I have met along the way, so I can't refuse."
You stated your reasons.
"Then get out of here. Master Drona will only see you during the day, but I can't guarantee what he will do to you."
He scolded you, but you said nothing and just left.
And the man named Karna also left.
So, during the day, you came back here and saw the only adult among a group of children.
Amid the astonished gazes of the children, you walked towards the adult, and after finding out that the other person was Drona, you told him your request and the reason.
"I will not teach a farmer's child! You are insulting me! Get out of here!"
Drona looked at you angrily, but you said nothing and tried to leave.
But at this moment, a man who looks very familiar to you stands up, takes out a bow and arrow and shoots at you.
"A mere farmer's son wants to study with us! This is disrespectful!"
Without looking back, you grabbed the bow and arrow.
But what you didn't expect was that the arrow was extremely powerful and it cut the skin on your palm, causing blood to flow out and drip onto the ground.
At the same time, the heaven and earth trembled.
You leave quickly because you know you can't afford to offend these people.
But when you left, your dripping blood turned into lotus, jasmine and datura flowers on the ground.
Master Drona's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the three flowers that Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva loved the most, as well as the withering of the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees, as if he realized something.
But it was too late.
