The sacred right side of a certain comic

Among the four ancient civilizations, ancient India is a very important one.

Around 2300 BC, civilization was born in the Indus River Valley. This ancient bronze civilization is also known as the 'Harappan culture'.

Around 2000 BC, the Aryans appeared in northwest India and gradually expanded southward. After about 1,400 years, in 600 BC, sixteen countries were formed in India. After a long annexation war, in 400 BC, a unified country with Magadha as the center was finally established in the Ganges River Basin in southern India. From then on, ancient Indian civilization began to enter a stage of prosperity.

And now it is around 300 BC, which is the peak period of ancient Indian civilization - the Mauryan Dynasty!

The establishment of this dynasty is also related to Alexander the Great of the Kingdom of Macedonia. This great emperor who traveled all over the world led his unparalleled army to conquer the Persian Empire, and then invaded northwest India. Alexander then withdrew from the land, but stayed here. It rainedarmy.

A young man from the Kshatriya aristocracy in Magadha rose up, defeated the troops left by Alexander, and then invaded the capital of Magadha, overthrew the Nanda dynasty, and established the Maurya dynasty.

Now is the reign of Ashoka, the third king of the Maurya Dynasty. This king's popularity is unparalleled among ancient Indian kings. Legend has it that he killed ninety-nine of his brothers and sisters before ascending the throne.

In his early years, King Ashoka went militarily and unified the entire South Asian subcontinent and parts of Afghanistan. Now King Ashoka has reached his old age. He is no longer as warlike and killing as he was in his youth. Instead, he believes in Buddhism and puts down his butcher knife. The Mauryan Dynasty ushered in its own. During its most prosperous period, ancient Indian civilization also ushered in its heyday.

During the reign of King Asoka of the Maurya Dynasty, an old man was walking by the Ganges. He knelt on the ground, scooped up a handful of holy water from the Ganges with his dry and trembling hands, and brought it to his mouth.

The old man is so skinny that one can see that he is skinny and unkempt, and he is wearing sack-like clothes that barely cover his body. At first glance, one might think that he is a beggar, but everyone who knows him knows that he is a respected ascetic. By.

The old man's name was Varmi. He was born in an upper-caste Brahmin family, but because he was abandoned, he once made a living by stealing. In his later years, like King Asoka, he realized great virtues, practiced great Dharma, and became an ascetic.

He once sat in silence for several years without moving, and ants even built a nest on his body, and his entire body became an ant nest. The origin of his current name is exactly the meaning of 'ant nest'.

Although this kind of practice is puzzling, it is very respected in India because this kind of practice is not something ordinary people can endure. Only those with great perseverance and perseverance can achieve success in practice.

Now, Bami could feel that his life was about to end, so he left his place of meditation and came to the holy water of the Ganges, where he performed the final practice of his life.

After drinking the water, Amitabha stood up slowly with his skinny body. Surrounded by him were many small animals who drank the water of the Ganges with him. These small animals were not afraid of him and allowed this respected and accomplished practitioner to The old man walked past him.

Bami walked with difficulty and came not far from the Ganges River, where many bay leaves were spread on the ground.

This is a tree that grows in India and Southeast Asia. It has half-moon-shaped leaves that can reach up to two meters. It was the material used by ancient Indians for writing.

Bami took the bay leaves, set up a pot, threw the fresh bay leaves and lemon into the pot and cooked them, then took out the bay leaves and put them aside to dry. The leaves are exactly what is produced after drying.

The ascetic monk tremblingly took out a rough-made metal object that looked like a pen. Then he used the metal pen to carve ancient Sanskrit words on the dried bay leaf palm. , and then apply a layer of ink after carving, so that the handwriting can be preserved for a long time.

Beside Varmi, there are many carved bay leaf palms with dense Sanskrit words on them. These words record the heroic story named 'Rama'.

Bhami traveled to many places in India. From the stories passed down by the locals orally, he integrated these stories together and used poetry to create this mythological epic about the joys and sorrows of Rama and Sita..

He didn't know why he spent a lot of time doing this work. He just felt that this was God's will and it was something he had to complete before he died.

This story is very long. In this era without paper and pen, if you want to write a text of tens of thousands of words, it will take several years to do it. Because carving is difficult, every word you write must be carefully considered. Write superfluous things, and any work with tens of thousands of words can be called a masterpiece in this era.

Today, Varmi has finally completed this huge book. There are five chapters in the whole text. It details the story of Rama becoming the king and leading an army of monkeys to fight against Rakshasa. At the same time, it is interspersed with the story of Rama and Sita. Love and hate entanglement.

Bhami did not give this poem a title, but planned to let future generations name it. This book is one of the two major epic works in ancient India, Ramayana.》！

"Finally finished."

When the last word was written, even Bami couldn't help but smile. After writing the last word, he felt that his energy and energy were close to the limit. The reason why he never died was It was his strong will that refused to die and just wanted to complete this work.

Now that the work was completed, he had no pursuit. Life was passing rapidly from his body. Bami knew that he would not live for a few days, and he He must use the remaining few days to preserve his works well so that they can be passed down.

Just when Bami began to collect these bay leaves, he suddenly felt something in his heart. The powerful spirit from the ascetic monks made him Sensing something strange in the woods not far away.

For a man with real perseverance who could sit still for several years, he naturally had no fear. With some curiosity, Bami dragged his old body and pushed aside the woods. The branches and leaves between them are heading towards that weird place

"Hey, this is……？"

In the woods, a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up in front of Bami. After pushing aside the weeds, Bami was right in front of him. There was a golden cup as tall as a child.

This cup is golden in color, with countless strange inscriptions looming on it. This is definitely not a handicraft that humans of this era can make. It is a bit too delicate, especially since the entire cup seems to be made of gold. You don’t need to think about it to know It is not an ordinary thing, just like a gift from the gods.

If it were other people, they might be greedy for this cup, but not Bami. For a dying person, what else can make him tempted, but seeing something like this in the woods beside the Ganges is incredible. items, for him who believes in God, this seems to be God’s will.

Bami knelt on the ground and prayed a few words in a low voice. Then he approached the golden cup with some curiosity, and his withered hand slowly fell on the cup.

"boom——————"

A burst of dazzling golden light suddenly lit up, and a heterogeneous and huge magic power spewed out from the cup. These magic powers were like substance. Even an ordinary person could feel the viscosity formed by this magic power. As the magic power in the Holy Grail erupted, It turns out that this jungle and the animals in it have undergone mutations and possess supernatural powers.

The golden light gradually disappeared, but the rich magic power had not dissipated. When Bami put down his arms and let his eyes gradually adapt to the light, he was surprised to find that the golden cup was missing. When he raised his head and looked at When he saw the sky, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted in disbelief:"……God, what is this?"

In the sky above the ancient Indian Maurya Dynasty, a light belt runs through the sky and the earth, across the universe, connecting the past and the future!
