Chapter 10 Faith Yoga
Chapter 10 Faith Yoga
The soft golden light filled his vision once more, and Vijay's consciousness returned to the secret chamber.
I never expected that choosing 'Faith Yoga (1/3)' would bring such an extra benefit!
Shaking his head, he realized he already had a lot more knowledge about deities, including the correct rituals for communicating with the gods, which seemed to have always been monopolized by Brahmins…
And the words on the mere round plaque are naturally beyond question.
Even the meaning of those gorgeous patterns and the broken lines in a certain pattern were clearly displayed before his eyes.
Besides Sanskrit, the patterns and cracks were also part of the text: "May the gods protect me, grant me a bright future, and open a smooth and easy path."
That needs no further explanation!
Judging from its location, this thing must be a core secret of the Mittal family. It's just unknown whether it's used to pass through the barbarian tribes or to enter that mysterious valley…
With the question answered, Vijay turned to look at the treasures scattered all over the place, and a deep sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
First, figure out how to break this curse that seems to 'confine' you; after that, the sky's the limit!
Hiding the round card in his pocket, Vijay returned to the room on the ground.
Maya was still asleep, the flush on her face had faded, leaving only a few tears of happiness welling up in the corners of her eyes. She murmured everything about her: "Pabu, Master..."
Vijay tucked the thin quilt around her and then left the room.
We bypassed the garden and went straight to old Bim's room in the side courtyard.
He was praying fervently at that moment, the room filled with the scents of herbs and sandalwood, creating an unsettling atmosphere of dread.
"Master!" Before Vijay could speak, Bim had already sensed his arrival, hurriedly ended his prayer, and knelt down at his feet.
Rajan, who was still lying in bed covered in herbs, struggled to stand up upon seeing this.
"How much longer until you recover?" Vijay didn't stop old Bim from kissing his feet, and looked at Rajon.
"Shiva bless you, Master. The herbs are working very well. I feel that I will be able to serve you in another two or three days!" Rajan's body had been badly beaten; there wasn't a single good piece of flesh left on his body.
"Get some rest, I need you!" Vijay said, seeing Rajan's grateful, trembling body.
"Bim, my old Daza, come with me!" Vijay led Bim into the courtyard.
With no one around and the sun not yet fully set, Vijay took out the round plaque and placed it in front of Bim, using the last rays of the setting sun. "Have you seen this round plaque before?"
Bim stared intently, then his body trembled, as if he had remembered something. His lips involuntarily twitched. "By Brahma, Master, I have seen you before!"
I've really seen it! Vijay was overjoyed. It's true what they say, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!
"I've seen this round plaque twice," Old Bim said without any concealment, lowering his head and not daring to look at it again. "The first time was in front of the temple in Sompura, when I was offering the local Brahmin, the Saint Sarrota, ointment and auspicious grass from the East, and the purest snow pearls from the foot of the sacred mountain on behalf of the old master. I saw the old master take out this round plaque, kneel down devoutly at the feet of the Saint Sarrota, and gently kiss his feet."
"The second time was in the wilderness," Bim paused, seemingly unsure how to begin.
Noticing that Bim seemed hesitant to speak, Vijay encouraged him, "Speak, Brahma will protect you."
Perhaps encouraged, Bim slightly raised his head, pursed his lips, and then lowered his head deeply again: "In order to pick up the fallen round plaque, the old master was forced to let go of your brother's hand, which was about to fall into the dragon's mouth in the water..."
I see, no wonder Bim had that expression.
Li Weijie didn't feel anything unusual, but some images surfaced in his mind.
The father, bedridden with a serious illness and not saying a word, and the stern yet loving older brother—these warm scenes quickly faded from memory.
Vijay shook his head slightly to silence the images, a hint of disappointment in his voice. He pressed on, asking, "When did my father and grandfather use this round plaque?"
"I'm sorry, Master," Bim said, shaking his head after a moment's thought upon hearing the question, "neither the Great Master nor the Old Master told me..."
"I see..." Vijay sighed helplessly, glanced at Bim, then at the setting sun, "You should go and rest!"
Bim bowed respectfully and backed away, while Vijay remained where he was, staring at the round plaque, trying to discern anything unusual in the fading light.
But he gained nothing!
But now I at least understand that this thing must be extremely precious!
It's at least much more precious than my own brother's life!
The Brahmins at the city temple might know something! Vijay thought for a moment, then decided against it!
Why did my grandfather prefer to travel to the distant temple in Sompura rather than to the nearby city of Harappa?
It should be noted that the city of Harappa also has a Saint of Sarota!
Vijay was cautious; since the elders had chosen to do this, they must have their reasons.
Before fully understanding the situation, I should proceed with caution.
Furthermore, from the moment he discovered Shiva's curse, Vijay already had a bad feeling about it.
The time it took for the "Shiva curse" to affect me, the way the curse manifested, and the scene I just witnessed...
Vijay's gaze turned southwest, towards the location of the Harappa Temple.
Talent Points -1
『Faith in Yoga (2/3)』
Vijay decisively added more points.
This time there wasn't as much of a commotion as before; only some information flowed into my brain, making my head feel slightly swollen.
Look at the round plaque again.
This time, it's different!
Vijay saw a faint, fading aura of Naratha flickering on the round plaque.
Another image flashed before his eyes, and another scene appeared.
This time it was a round tablet, which appeared in a pair of clean, white hands, and then quickly appeared before a statue of Narada...
That's it!
Vijay immediately realized what was happening and understood two important things.
Firstly, these images seem to appear according to one's own wishes after allocating points, showing the information fragments one most wants to know.
Secondly, this round plaque is a token used to cross the valley!
awesome!
Vijay gripped the round card tightly; one more fragment of the secret about the trade route was revealed.
No matter what choice you make, you must first grasp the secret, otherwise it will only become a joke.
I have two days left until the final ultimatum!
