Chapter 428: Entering the Temple
During the British colonization of the Indian Peninsula, many local kings rebelled because of the loss of interests, and the royal family of Travangol was also one of them. "Say.2.
Even the monks in the temple don't know that in a room next to them, there is a treasure buried that everyone can enjoy.
The ancient temple is located in a relatively prosperous small city, and the buildings with white walls and red roofs are worth seeing. The truck found a relatively hidden place outside the city and stopped, and everyone walked in the direction of the ancient temple under the leadership of two land snakes.
The atmosphere of the war has affected the whole territory of India, and when Chen Xu and his group of strangers entered the city, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some black Ah San looked at everyone with unkind faces, and hostility was written on their faces.
However, the two land snakes are local Brahmin nobles, although they are bankrupt aristocrats, they are still the local high-ranking people, and their fair skin is a status symbol.
They just glared, and those black Ah San were like rats who saw a cat and immediately lowered their heads, unable to resist at all.
After generations of slavery and screening, the low-caste Ah San has lived in the lower strata of society for generations, and servility has penetrated into their genes, which is like a kind of spiritual shackle, so that they dare not have any rebellious thoughts. Even though the state announced the abolition of the caste system and that everyone is equal at the legal level, these people still take the initiative to put themselves in a lowly position and dare not offend the upper caste in the slightest.
Alan also saw this characteristic of Ah San, so he specially found two local idle villains and gave them a sum of money, which can ensure that you are unscrupulous in the local area, at least the low-caste Indians will never dare to beat your idea.
Of course, the caste system is also divided into regions, only the local high caste will be valued, and the high caste Brahmins in other places will not be respected, at least people will not take you seriously.
With the guidance of the two local snakes, a group of people walked freely in the small city, but there was no need to worry about safety, seeing the fruit stalls on the side of the road, Chen Xu paid for everyone to buy mangoes bigger than their heads to satisfy their hunger.
When passing by a small turquoise lake, one of the ground snakes suddenly raised his arm to beckon, and Chen Xu, who was eating mango juice on his face, looked up and saw an earthy yellow diamond-shaped building standing about two miles away from him.
The ancient temple is a free-standing single building, about seven or eight stories high, and is the tallest building in the area!
"Is this the Padmanabhaswamy Temple? It doesn't look like much! I've seen other wealthy temples in India, and they are really more luxurious than the average aristocratic prince, and it's really not a lot of money for such a dilapidated temple made of adobe bricks. Alan threw the half-eaten mango into the pool next to him, wiped the sticky mango juice on his face with his sleeve, and said dissatisfied.
"You know what! If it were known that there was a huge amount of treasure in this temple, where would we wait to get it, the local king would have taken it away long ago. Chen Xu looked at this ancient temple that was not very big, and only felt that the whole building was shining with golden light, you must know that there are tens of billions of dollars of treasure hidden in this small earthen temple, and this is the first secret room opened by the Indian government, and it is said that there are several such secret rooms in the ancient temple.
The local aristocracy of India is monstrous, and the Travangol family is still one of the most powerful families in Kerala, and such a huge treasury is originally an asset that belongs to the history of this family, and it is impossible for the government to take it away like this, so they used means to recapture the temple, and then took all the remaining wealth.
Even if the Indian government did not agree to do so, the Travangol family would have ransacked the temple with violence, and the local government would have to suffer a dumb loss. After all, the whole state of Kerala is the spokesperson for the family to be raised, and no one dares to do anything about this family, not even New Delhi.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Chen Xu couldn't wait to urge Alan to enter the ancient temple quickly to find out.
The ancient temple is not big, and when you enter it, there is a large hall where one of the three main gods of Hinduism is enshrined in Vishnu, and the offering table is lit with sandalwood, which smokes the hall very pungently.
Chen Xu rubbed his nostrils, raised his legs and walked to the back of the main hall, the two earth snakes wanted to stop, after all, this temple is inhabited by Brahmin nobles, these people have enjoyed the worship of this incense since the day they were born, and they are honored as gods in the local area, and their personalities will naturally not be much better, if they offend them, it will be difficult to end.
Alan drank disdainfully and stopped the two ground snakes, the purpose of coming to the ancient temple this time was to investigate the situation here, if you walked around the hall and went back, there was no need to endure three hours of bumps and run over.
Alan followed into the apse, followed by three scouts, and the two snake snakes had no choice but to follow cautiously.
The apse is filled with all kinds of strange sculptures of characters from Hindu mythology, and the murals on the walls are also very exquisite, all of which are rare historical relics.
Chen Xu walked among these murals with his hands behind his back, envious of the cultural heritage of Indian history, these are extremely precious cultural relics, more valuable than the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room of the temple.
There is a staircase to the left of the apse, which appears to lead to the second floor, and the door of the apse is open, and outside is a leafy courtyard.
"Where's the secret room? There's not much place to hide treasures on this floor, unless they're stuffed in a statue. Alan was curious to look here and there, he didn't feel much about the art, as an arms dealer he was only interested in money.
"The secret room is upstairs, of course, and there must be a basement. This ancient temple is full of dark rooms, many of the rooms have been sealed off for hundreds of years and have not been opened, and no one knows what treasures are hidden inside, but I know that there is a room filled with gold jewels, and if we can find it, we will be rich! Chen Xu licked his lips and greedily glanced at the environment upstairs along the stairs.
"Be quiet! Pitchers have ears...... If these Ah San hear, all the treasures will be taken away. Allen jumped over like a rabbit and reminded Chen Xu not to be so public, and to tell such important information casually.
"What are you worried about, who can understand Chinese except for a few of us here!" Chen Xu didn't care and waved his hand.
