Chapter 1394: The Key of the Holy Spirit

……

Legend has it that Chandragupta, the first king of the Mauryan Dynasty, built a magnificent Jain temple in the capital city of Fahrenheit because of his belief in Jainism, and sent nearly half of the annual wealth in the treasury to the temple as a worship of the gods. In his later years, Chandragupta died of hunger strike according to Jain rules, and his body was buried in the temple. Although Buddhism replaced Jainism as the state religion of the Mauryan Empire during the reign of Emperor Ashoka, the tradition of burying bodies in temples after the death of the previous king was not abolished. ”

"From Chandragupta to the last king of the Mauryan Empire, the King of the Great Carriage, nine kings of the Mauryan Empire, plus rich funerary goods piled up in every corner of the temple. ”

"At that time, almost all the people of the empire were preaching about the great riches of this temple, or mausoleum. But except for a few direct descendants of the royal family of the Mauryan Dynasty, no one knew the exact location of the temple at all!"

Later, Pushamidoro Sunga, who had taken the throne of the Mauryan Empire, received the key from the descendants of the dynasty and found the location of the temple, but when he was about to enter the temple to loot the great wealth accumulated by the Mauryan Empire for 150 years, he was stopped by the giant serpent guarding the tomb. ”

"The giant serpent has the divine power of the snake god Naga, and it summons the serpents to kill the soldiers under the command of Pushamidoro Sunga who broke into the mausoleum, close the entrance to the temple, and protect the integrity of the temple!"

"Because of the fear of the serpent's strength, Pushamidoro Sunga and his descendants never entered the tomb again. Later, the times changed, and the Sunga Dynasty, which replaced the Mauryan Dynasty, also disappeared after more than a hundred years of existence. But a piece of news about the temple has come out!"

"What's the news?" Liu Dong asked silently.

"You can only enter the temple if you get the Holy Spirit's Key!" Nancy said with a hint of excitement on her face.

"The Key of the Holy Spirit, is it?"

"That's right!" Looking at the three-ring Falun in Liu Dong's hand, Nancy nodded vigorously.

Quickly swept over Nancy, who was full of excitement, and then looked at the Falun in his hand, and after a little thought, Liu Dong said: "I'm afraid that only this Falun is not enough, right? Do you know where the so-called Peacock Temple is?"

"Of course in Fahrenheit, the capital of the Mauryan Empire, which is Patna in Bihar!" Nancy said quickly.

"Bihar, Patna?"

After repeating thoughtfully, Liu Dong nodded slightly. Regardless of whether or not the Holy Sepulchin of the Mauryan Empire, which Nancy said was full of treasures, existed. Bihar is the place where Liu Dong is going to go, because there are a large number of Buddhist relics there, and there is also a great possibility of Buddha relics.

"Where did you hear all this news?" Liu Dong asked himself, knowing himself well enough, but he had never heard of it.

"The archives of the British Museum, which are rich in material on the ancient history of India!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong's face showed a hint of surprise.

The British, who colonized India for nearly 350 years, have accumulated so many documents and materials about Indian civilization that they may not be able to compare with the Indians themselves.

"Well, I've told you everything I know. You can't go back on what you promised me just now, and you must take me to Patna!"

Hearing this, looking at the excitement and expectation on Nancy's face, Liu Dong seemed to see the other party's enthusiasm when facing the ancient city of 'Heracpus' in Egypt. It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful and well-born girl would love to explore!

"It's all a problem with idleness!" After complaining in his heart, Liu Dong nodded.

"Since I agreed, I won't go back. But you have to get rid of your brother first, I don't want to be charged with a girl abduction and trafficking myself!"

"You don't have to worry about it. By the way, when are we leaving?"

Looking at Nancy, who was full of interest, Liu Dong said somewhat helplessly: "The day after tomorrow, I'll arrange the things at hand!"

"Then we can say that we are not allowed to leave me when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, I, Liu Dong, am a man of my word!"

……

Bihar is located in the north of India, bordering Nepal in the north, Bangladesh in the east, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in the west, and Odisha in the south. It is also the birthplace of Buddhism.

The famous Castle of Royalty, Fahrenheit, and Bodh Gaya, are among the most famous Buddhist attractions in Bihar.

The city of Fahrenheit, located on the south bank of the Ganges River in eastern Bihar, is now known as the city of Patna, which is the ultimate goal of Liu Dong and his party.

Luckily, there are direct flights to Delhi, which saves a lot of time. Otherwise, if it turns around, it will be really troublesome.

"This is Patna?"

Looking at the city bathed in the sun in front of him, as if it were an ordinary county town in China, Liu Dongdao.

"No, this is Fahrenheit, a 2,500-year-old city that once became the capital of the Mauryan Empire!"

Nancy, who walked out from behind Liu Dong, said excitedly.

"I really don't understand why you like adventure so much?" Liu Dong shook his head somewhat helplessly.

"There's a lot more you don't understand!"

"Okay! I don't care how much you want to find the so-called temple of the Mauryan Empire, but remember that you promised me that everything on this trip will be under my command, and you are not allowed to act without permission!"

"Got it, let's go! Really, you're more verbose than my brother!"

Looking at Nancy, who seemed to be a completely different person in the face of exploring Taobao at this moment, Liu Dong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he really found himself a lot of trouble.

And in addition to having a headache for Nancy, Said was worried about his sister's safety, and a large number of bodyguards were also stuffed into Liu Dong's heart.

The team of as many as 30 bodyguards, hugging before and after entering and exiting, really made Liu Dong, who was accustomed to creating the world alone in the exploration of treasures, a little uncomfortable.

But he can't help but let the family take it, after all, Nancy is the pearl of the entire Saudi royal family, and if something really happens to her, Saeed will have to lose her skin. In addition, it is clear to all of India, and indeed to the whole of South Asia and the Middle East, that Bihar is the state where the Brahmins and the untouchables are most at odds with each other.

It is not once or twice that the upper castes and the lower castes have demonstrated for their own interests, and even caused mass riots.

Moreover, Bihar is also the state with the most serious rape * murder in the whole of India, allowing such a big beauty as his sister to come here, 30 bodyguards, Syed is too few. If he hadn't known that Liu Dong himself was a powerful martial artist, Saeed might have sent more bodyguards.

Looking at Nancy, who was hugging and walking towards the outside of the airport, Liu Dong sighed slightly and followed with Luo Di.

Who told him to just come out and promise others, even if he knew that he was in trouble, he would have to take it.

In addition to the airport, the group got into the most luxurious hotel in Patna, sitting in a car that had been prepared for a long time.

However, if you imagine the level of hotels in ordinary counties in eastern China, you can imagine the situation inside the Patna Hotel, which is far from the hot spring hotel where Liu Dong stayed in Delhi before. Thankfully, it's still clean. And the meals were ok too.

So, except that Nancy, who loves cleanliness, is a little uncomfortable at first. As long as there is food and sleep, Liu Dong, who can be satisfied, has long been at ease!

After simply packing his luggage in the room, Liu Dong took out Patna's map and began to plan his itinerary for the next few days.

To be honest, because there are too few clues to the so-called Mauryan Temple in Nancy's mouth, and Liu Dong has such a 'Holy Spirit Key' in his hand, although he brought Nancy to Patna, Liu Dong's core purpose is to find the Buddha's relics.

In particular, the city of Gaya, where the Buddha Shakyamuni saw through the red dust and became a monk for six years, and the Great Bodhi Temple, where Shakyamuni finally became a Buddha, are the key goals of Liu Dong this time, and they must be visited.

"Knock knock ......!"

As the knock on the door sounded, without Liu Dong's orders, Luo Di, who was standing on the side, had already taken the initiative to walk over and open the door.

"Liu Dong, look here!"

As soon as the door opened, Nancy had already trotted in like a gust of wind, and put a color-printed paper in front of Liu Dong in her hand.

"What is this?"

"Kumrahal!"

"Kumrahal?" Liu Dong didn't care much about the ancient relics in India that were not important places for Buddhism. Aside from the Taj Mahal, a shrine that is famous all over the world, he knows very little.

"Yes, Kumrahal is located five kilometers north of Patna, where Indian archaeologists excavated the remains of four successive dynasties from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD, and another important discovery was a huge Mauryan temple supported by 80 pillars. ”

“…… The temple is supported by 80 pillars, and if you think it would be great if it were still intact! I think it's probably what we're looking for!"

Glancing at the paper Nancy brought, Liu Dong didn't care about the confident look on the other party's face, and said directly: "I don't think it's possible." If the temple of the Mauryan Empire you are talking about is really here, it has long been excavated by the Indians. How is it possible that there has been no movement until now?"

"This?...... Maybe the temple isn't even deeper underground?"

"Perhaps, but we are not archaeological experts, and we don't have the permission of the local archaeological department, how can we verify that there is a Mauryan temple under Kumrahal?"

"Yes!"

Nancy frowned, but soon she said excitedly, "We can sneak over at night!"

"Then let's wait until the evening, now let's get enough energy!"

"That's all there is to it!"

After sending Nancy away, Roddy couldn't help but smile and said, "Boss, this princess is really hard to serve!"

"Is it still a princess who is good to serve?...... Okay, you stay in the hotel, I'll go out!"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
