Wet Poison, Meghalaya.
Three Zang wanted to take the train there, but the train had to stop when it reached the border between Bihar and Assam.
As it was adjacent to Water Swamp Nation in the south and China in the north, there was only a narrow national passage between the hinterland of Wet Poison and the six states in the northeast — the Siliguri Corridor. The narrowest part was only 21 kilometers.
The Siliguri Corridor was like China's Hexi Corridor. Moreover, the situation in the six states in the northeast was extremely complicated. Ever since they were integrated, they had been pursuing independence all the time. Even people from Wet Poison had to go through certain procedures to enter the six states in the northeast.
Three Zang was an Island nation who had snuck into the country from the border. He could not even be considered a human, let alone a reasonable document. If he really wanted to get a passport, he would have to use the name of the item.
"Hualala!"
A moderate rain fell from the sky, seemingly welcoming Three Zang's arrival. Although it was not the rainy season in the Bay of Bengal, this place was not far from the World Rain Pole, Chilapunzi. They belonged to the same state.
With Wet Poison Madhya Pradesh as the symmetry axis, the six states in the northeast received 10,000 to 20,000 milliliters of rain every year. It was a disaster. Meanwhile, the border in the northwest was a long desert area. The two were basically in the same latitude, but there was a world of difference. It could only be said that it was the work of Earth's gods.
Beep.
The bus drove on the country road. The four tires splashed the water on the ground.
This was a bus that drove to Jowayi City. There were only a few buses every day. Most of the people in the surrounding tribes relied on this bus to save their lives.
If they had not experienced more advanced travel methods, they would feel that this arrangement was only natural.
"Didn't that person bring an umbrella?"
The passengers on the bus looked out the window and saw Three Zang walking in the rain.
Although the rain outside was not a storm, it was extremely uncomfortable when it poured on one's body. One might even catch a cold.
Even if he was dressed like an ascetic, there was no need for him to walk in the wind and rain. He should find a place to hide from the rain.
As the bus swayed along, the passengers turned their attention back to the inside of the bus. In a few minutes, they would forget about the strange scene they had just witnessed.
"Maybe it's a mental problem."
Two women on the bus were talking about a strange scene. Meghalaya's independence tendency was extremely high, and the mainstream belief was not Shidu or Buddhism, but the Holy Bishop, which was rarely seen in the South Asian subcontinent.
Although there were quite a number of Asians in the six states of Northeast, and the proportion of people who believed in the Shidu religion was not large, the majority of the population in the six states of Northeast was labeled as a List Caste, which was another name for the untouchables.
The ShiDu Country was a political entity that was forcibly held together, and its constitution was also full of contradictions. On the one hand, it said that everyone was equal and the ban on untouchables was abolished, but on the other hand, in the constitution and subsequent amendments, it was clearly stated that there was a large number of low-class people in the country.
What was even worse was that the official name did not directly refer to this group of people as untouchables. Instead, they used the term used by the colonial rulers of Batumi — List of Castes, List of Tribes.
Untouchables like Meghalaya, who did not even believe in the Shidu religion, were even more difficult to understand in the eyes of the non-ShiDu people of Northeast. They were as unacceptable as aliens, and they were even more untouchable than untouchables.
Fortunately, the terrain of Northeast was closed, and under normal circumstances, no outsiders would come here. A group of similarly 'strange' people felt that there was nothing strange about getting along with each other.
"Huala, huala."
The heavy rain outside the window slowly became smaller, and finally completely became a drizzle.
Most of the people on the bus were women, and only a small number of men were sitting on the bus, and their faces were a little abnormal.
When the bus arrived at the station, the men on the bus got off the bus and breathed a sigh of relief.
This world was too oppressive to them men!
Unlike the ShiDu, or the rest of the world, one-fifth of the population of Meghalaya lived in a matriarchal society, which meant that women lived outside, and men lived inside. The women had the power in the family, and after marriage, the men needed to live in the woman's home. The youngest daughter had the most inheritance rights, and the sons had nothing.
As a result, the entire Meghalaya was the state with the least amount of ShiDu crimes. From time to time, men would hold a rally in the city, demanding to stop the oppression of men and pursue equality between men and women.
The bus continued moving forward. The roads in the ShiDu were indeed terrible, especially the six states in Northeast. The central government of the ShiDu did not have much intention to invest in these places. To the people in the country, the six states in Northeast were the dowry of the six sisters, but in reality, they were completely left to their own devices.
Even the capital of Meghalaya, Xilong, looked very much like a wasteland.
"We have arrived at the church."
The bus driver who was holding the direction shouted, and the old broken bus squeaked to a stop at the stop sign. A European-style Holy Cathedral was built on a small slope in the town.
"Let's go, don't fall asleep, let's go to the church."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh."
A woman from the countryside got off the bus and walked to the church. If other Shidu believers saw this scene, they would definitely be distressed.
What worship? What worship? Shouldn't everyone follow the Shidu religion?
These d * mn heretics!
The hundreds of years of rule by the ruler of Bureton did not have much effect on this land, and the former ruler of the Star Moon Religion did not have much effect on this land. There were not many Star Moon believers in the South Asian subcontinent, and the rulers' religious assimilation was very slow. After all, the ShiDu people's inventiveness and creativity were almost all focused on religion …
Without the support of a strong military force, Buddhism that originated in Nepal spread eastward to the Island nation, and westward to Asia Minor due to the obstruction of Zoroastrianism. In the ancient times, the spread of Buddhism could be said to be even greater than that of the Saint Bishops.
In the Middle Ages, the ShiDu religion that had been dormant for many years suddenly rose, and in terms of religious theory, it made a dimensional reduction attack on Buddhism.
Vedanta, Brahman, Brahman, the whole world was illusory, it was all fake, and your Buddha was just the incarnation of Vishnu …
The originally large number of Buddhist believers quickly integrated into the ShiDu religion under the dimensional reduction attack, but due to the water and soil, the ShiDu religion only existed in the South Asian subcontinent, which had a caste system. After the Star Moon Religion entered the South Asian subcontinent, it caused the ShiDu religion to mutate, and gave birth to Zhan Kuang's Sikh religion.
The South Asian subcontinent was originally a religious museum, and under the attack of the global supernatural, the already unstable religion became even more turbulent.
Looking at the believers entering the church, a Southeast Asian man's eyes were filled with passion.
