Chapter 2 Weird Indian Mythology, I also want to get stuck
There is a basic flow to Indian mythology.
Penance—》Blessing—》Beating the Emperor of Heaven—》Use the Three-phase God card bug to eliminate Asura.
Asura practiced hard with his extraordinary longevity and endurance, then obtained blessings from the Three Gods, and then began to go to heaven to beat the Emperor of Heaven.
Because blessings are the power of the laws of the world, the power of blessings is basically far greater than that of the gods. Sometimes the three gods are troubled by the ability of blessings. Unless Lord Shiva destroys the world, the three gods cannot break the blessings.
Yes!
Unless the three gods overturn the table, they cannot break the blessing.
Destroying the world is not what the Trinity God wants!
We can only use bugs to find the weakness of the blessing!
Before finding out the weakness of Blessing, Indra, the king of gods, was the stepping stone to test the power of Blessing.
The one who got beaten!
An Asura King who has never defeated the Emperor of Heaven is not a qualified Asura King!
"It's such a crappy position, whoever wants to take it can take it!"
"Which emperor gets beaten every day?"
Indra's eyes turned slightly as he thought so.
Of course I can’t tell the truth!
Cough!
He pursed his lips and coughed twice, then spoke quickly.
"Now that we are cursed, I realize that the position of Heavenly Emperor is too difficult to hold. My will is not strong enough, and my hard training is not perfect enough."
Indra looked solemn, put his fist against his heart, and answered seriously.
"You weren't like this before. I remember you always said, 'As gods, it's only natural for us to enjoy all the good things in this world!' How come you've changed your ways now?"
Surya couldn't believe it, and a very awkward expression appeared on his dark face.
The arrogant Indra, the king of gods, actually felt that his practice was not enough.
incredible!
"I have simply shed my former childishness. I have realized the importance of asceticism and I have understood the true Dharma!"
Indra clasped his hands together, pretended to be pious, and talked nonsense.
He looked directly at the stunned Surya and said, "Look at me now, I look like a beggar. My ascetic training has already begun. I will first accumulate some ascetic strength. When the time comes, I will be ready to ask for a golden sun god armor as a blessing!"
[Blessing] As a law of the universe, it can give power far exceeding that of the blesser according to the power of asceticism.
In the future, there was an Asura named Jiaosheng. He was the most devout believer of the sun god Surya. He practiced asceticism to the sun god Surya and was blessed with the golden armor of the sun god.
This golden sun god armor has a total of one thousand layers.
In order to break the divine armor, one needs to practice hard for a thousand years to penetrate a layer of the divine armor. However, every time a layer of the divine armor is broken by the enemy, it will curse the enemy to death.
In order to break the armor of the sun god, the protector god Vishnu sent out two incarnations - Nara and Narayana.
The two great incarnations practiced asceticism for a thousand years, and with the power of their asceticism, they broke a layer of divine armor. When the armor was broken and the incarnation died, the other incarnation took over, and then Vishnu was resurrected and the dead incarnation continued to practice asceticism for a thousand years.
After repeating this for a million years, only the last layer of golden armor of the Sun God remained of Asura, so he decided to give up and enter the cycle of reincarnation. After reincarnation, he was reborn as Karna, the son of the Sun God.
This is an excellent piece of equipment!
One hundred sun gods Surya combined are not as powerful as one piece of sun god armor.
Very outrageous!
However, this is the law of the universe and the truth of this world!
This is why Indra came directly to Surya.
Apart from other things, just speaking of its protective capabilities, the Golden Sun God Armor is the most difficult one among all the blessings. Even the protector god Vishnu can only send his incarnation to slowly wear through this armor.
With this Sun God Armor, he has the confidence to face those Asuras.
"You are really different now!"
Surya looked at Indra with a serious face, raised his hand and said, "When you have completed your austerities, I will grant you all the blessings."
boom!
At this moment, Indra instantly felt that the suffering he endured seemed to have a response within himself, rising like a flame and becoming more and more vigorous.
The power of ascetic practice increases again!
Indra's eyes lit up.
It seems that his current appearance is indeed satisfying for the ascetic practice.
After all, he was the Emperor of Heaven, the King of Gods, the Lord of the Three Realms, but now he looked like a beggar. The power he gained from hard training under such a huge gap was much stronger than that gained by ordinary people in hundreds of years.
"Thank you, praise Surya!"
"Then I'm going back!"
Indra smiled and nodded.
"Praise to Indra!"
Surya responded.
In the heaven, there is a sea of clouds.
Soon, Indra flew to his own temple of the emperor of heaven.
It is said to be the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven.
Under the curse of the Immortal in Old Clothes, it has now become a broken thatched hut. The bright and brilliant attendant gods Gandharvas have also lost their handsome or beautiful faces. They sit at the door of the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven like a group of male and female beggars, basking in the sun.
"This old man is really amazing, he is indeed the incarnation of Shiva!"
"When I have enough strength from my hard work, I will curse him too, so that he can also experience the feeling of being cursed by others!"
Indra thought. The power of asceticism can not only obtain blessings, but also consume the power of asceticism to curse.
The curse of the sage is so powerful that it affects all the gods in heaven, not only because he is the incarnation of Shiva, but more importantly, his power of asceticism is also strong enough.
"Praise to Indra!"
"Praise to Indra!"
"Praise to Indra!"
……
Many voices of praise emanated from the mouths of these Gandharvas.
They were dressed in rags, but they stood up together and shouted slogans in unison.
For a moment, Indra felt as if he was the leader of the beggars.
These Gandharvas are also descendants of the sage Kasyapa, but they do not have the same divine powers as the gods and asuras, but they are very good at music.
Fragrant and soft!
Indra and other gods then led the Gandharvas to heaven to serve as their attendants.
"From today on, the Heavenly Emperor Temple will be closed. I will practice asceticism and will not see anyone!"
Indra walked straight into the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven, waved his hand and spoke loudly.
The surrounding Gandharvas immediately obeyed the order and began to close the gates.
boom!
The Gandharvas pulled the door from outside and closed it with a bang.
For a time, Indra was the only god in this shabby thatched temple.
He picked up a pile of hay from the ground, picked it up and walked to his own nest. He spread his hands out like a fairy scattering flowers, then bent his knees slightly and jumped onto the haystack.
"Hey!"
"I'll go straight to bed!"
Indra lay down on the grass, crossed his legs, grabbed a handful of straw, held it in his arms and rolled over on the straw.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but I can still use it.
He practiced eight rules as his penance: not drinking alcohol, not sitting on the throne, not wearing gorgeous divine clothes, not living in the dazzling temple, not squandering wealth, not being extravagant, not riding a mount, and not coveting status.
Under the curse of the Immortal Bi Yi, he had no wine to drink, no throne, no divine clothes, no wealth, no luxury, and his mount could not fly.
He doesn't even need the throne of Heavenly Emperor now, so he is naturally content and does not covet status.
All meet the requirements for asceticism!
"Anyway, my strength from hard training is increasing. I don't care about him. I'll deal with it after I wake up!"
"Sleep for a thousand years first!"
Indra closed his eyes and thought.
……
Brahma realm.
There is an ocean of milk in the world, and above the ocean of milk there are three realms, namely, the heavenly realm, the earthly realm, and the human realm.
The human world is where humans, animals, yakshas, rakshasas etc. live; the earthly world is inhabited by asuras; and the heavenly world is inhabited by many gods, gandharvas, celestial maidens and immortals.
But above the heaven, there is another space called the Brahma Realm.
This is where the creator god Brahma is!
This place is empty and ethereal, with floating clouds and clear mist, and a holy and pure air permeates. When you are here, you can feel your soul being cleansed.
There are two lotus flowers high up here, with a human figure on them.
Brahma wears a crown, has white hair and beard, and looks like an old man. His skin is rosy, he is dressed in a white robe, has four faces and eight arms, and holds the Vedas, a lotus, a water pot, and a rosary in his hands.
The other goddess is elegant and beautiful, dressed in white, with a crescent moon on her forehead and a phoenix-headed harp in her hand. She looks like a twelve-year-old girl, with rings and gold ornaments, and is a pure and intelligent person.
It was Brahma’s wife - Saraswati!
Also known as the Goddess of Eloquence and the Goddess of Saraswati, she is the goddess of wisdom.
Looking down from the Brahma realm, you can see the three realms and everything in them.
"What is Indra doing?"
"sleeping?"
Saraswati frowned slightly and looked down.
He saw the sloppy Indra at a glance and couldn't help asking.
"No!"
Brahma's beard moved slightly, and a rising power of asceticism was reflected in his eyes. Indra was lying on his side in this flaming power of asceticism, and the power of asceticism was surging.
"He is doing penance!"
