Chapter 103: The Counterfeit "Crown of Wisdom"

It is said that Zhao Qi has always been unclear about Myanmar and Thailand, and Zhao Qi, who has been to Yangon, Myanmar, immediately saw the difference between Thailand and Myanmar after getting off the plane.

As the capital of Thailand. Bangkok is a world-famous tourist city, its degree of development is no less than China's first-tier cities, and the Buddhist atmosphere in the city is very strong, sit on the car to the Jade Buddha Temple, Zhao Qi often sees large and small temples along the way, and many buildings also reveal the feeling of Buddhism.

"Thailand is a religious country with Buddhism as the state religion, and it believes in Buddhism more than China. Therefore, Thailand has a large number of temples, with different styles and splendor, and is the concentration of famous Buddhist temples in the world. Temples in Thailand have become a culture and art, an icon of Thailand, and a resource for its tourism industry. Therefore, many people come to Thailand for the sake of the temples, whether it is to seek Buddha, to visit, or to discuss their history and culture. The temples in Thailand are mainly located in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and there are nearly 1,000 temples in the vicinity of Bangkok alone. Seeing that everyone looked at the surrounding temples with relish, Professor Duncan on the side also explained with a smile.

"Wow, thousands of temples, aren't the people who live in Bangkok all monks? Plus some shemales, what about those women in Thailand? David exaggeratedly said, causing a burst of laughter, but Lily next to him glared at him fiercely after hearing this.

"What's wrong again?" Scratching his head, David, who didn't understand what was going on, could only lick his face again and leaned up.

It took more than an hour for the vehicle to arrive at the destination of the trip, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, from the congested traffic in Bangkok.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the most famous temples in Bangkok, and although it is not the tourist season at this time, it is not uncommon for all kinds of tourists to pass by in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

"Are these made of gold?" Quake asked in surprise as he looked at the golden buildings in the Jade Buddha Temple.

"How is that possible? The exterior of these buildings is made of gold leaf, and the inside is still stone. Looking at Quake's surprised look, Lily explained with a smile.

"It scared the hell out of me. I thought Thailand was rich enough to build temples out of gold. Quake said, patting his chest.

When they came to the Jade Buddha Temple, a group of eight people were picked up by a monk from the Jade Buddha Temple, and Professor Charles should have explained to the host of the Jade Buddha Temple before everyone arrived.

After passing the majestic Daxiong Treasure Hall, everyone walked into the interior of a temple with a "tourist stop".

After a while, everyone came to an antique room, and the building was no longer as golden as it seemed from the outside, but rather rustic, a bit like a wing room in a Chinese temple.

"Welcome to Thailand." There was an elderly monk wearing glasses in the room, and after seeing Zhao Qi and his party, he got up and said.

"Master Charon. We haven't seen each other again in more than a decade, right? Charles seemed to know the monk, and he gave the monk a big hug.

Later, after Professor Charles's introduction, everyone also knew that the elderly monk with glasses in front of him was the current presiding officer of the Jade Buddha Temple.

After a period of pleasantries, Professor Charles moved on to today's topic, wanting to take a look at the "crown of wisdom".

"So, Professor Charles, I'm going to take you to see the 'Crown of Wisdom' right now." Master Charon is not a polite person, and after hearing Professor Charles's words, he got up and led everyone to visit the "Crown of Wisdom", a national treasure kept in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

Following Master Charon, the group came to a large building that was heavily guarded like a museum.

The building is at the rear of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It didn't seem like there was anyone, but Zhao Qi clearly felt that there were a lot of people breathing around him, although they were all ordinary people, but they also presented a way of encircling to protect the building in the middle. It seems that this is the place where many valuable cultural relics of the Jade Buddha Temple are placed.

The door of the building was tightly locked, and Master Charon stepped forward and knocked lightly, and in a short time the door opened. Out of it came a monk who looked older than the eyed Master Charon.

“! @#%¥......" The old monk looked at the people behind Master Charon suspiciously, and greeted Master Charon in Thai.

"Master Ba Song, they are scholars from England. I hope you can see the 'Crown of Wisdom' up close. Master Charon said these words in English, and led the people behind him with his hands. Charles also politely folded his hands and saluted the Basong master.

"Crown of Wisdom?" Master Ba Song's face changed, and he glanced at Zhao Qi and the other eight people with a calm face, but he didn't say anything, and after opening the door, he led everyone in with both hands.

The crowd rushed in and walked into the heavily guarded building.

There are all kinds of strange objects in the building, each of which is tightly placed in a box made of special glass, and from the surface of these things, even if Zhao Qi doesn't know much about cultural relics, you can see that they are all valuable cultural relics that have experienced a long history.

David wandered around the room curiously, and from time to time he pointed to some artifacts and said something to Lily next to him.

"Please be quiet." Master Ba Song was behind everyone, his face had not been very good, and when he saw David's chatter, he immediately walked behind David and said, the anger in his tone was obvious.

Seeing this, Lily immediately pulled David and nodded apologetically to the master Ba Song.

"Che, it turned out that he could speak English, I thought he could only speak Thai." David, who was a little unconvinced, muttered in his mouth, but before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Lily on the side, and immediately didn't dare to say more.

"Professor Charles, this is the 'Crown of Wisdom.'" Master Charon led the group to a crown-shaped object protected by layers of special glass, and said to Master Charon.

Hearing this, everyone also gathered around and looked carefully at the four artifacts of the legendary "Sun God Brahma".

This crown is very different from the beautiful crowns that everyone usually sees, and it does not look so graceful and luxurious, but has a somewhat simple feeling.

The long strips made of gold are connected together, and there is a large hole in the middle of the crown, and there is no gold decoration around the crown, which looks like a golden hoop imitation of the Monkey King.

"It's exactly like what I dreamed of." Looking at the "Crown of Wisdom" in front of him, Professor Charles looked very excited, looked at it with straight eyes, and muttered to himself.

At first, everyone was interested in looking at it, but after half a minute, it was boring, leaving only three scientists who were still studying the "crown of wisdom". Slowly, Professor Charles's brows, who were still excited, slowly wrinkled.

"Master Charon, I wonder if you can open this and let me take a closer look at it?" Professor Charles asked, looking up at Master Charon.

"It's a national treasure of Thailand, and it's not something you just want to take out." Before Master Chalun could speak, Master Ba Song on the side immediately said, not giving Master Chalun next to him any face.

As soon as these words came out, Professor Charles's face suddenly turned ugly, not because of Master Ba Song's impoliteness, but because of the doubts in his heart that he couldn't let go.

Master Charon on the side pondered for a while and then said to Professor Charles.

"Professor Charles, the 'Crown of Wisdom' is an important national treasure of Thailand, and it cannot be taken out to prevent damage, but Professor Charles, you are a world-renowned scholar, I can make an exception to take it out, but you can't watch it for too long, and you have to make sure that there is not the slightest damage." Master Charon said solemnly to Professor Charles, and Professor Charles nodded hurriedly after receiving Master Charron's approval.

"Abbot Chalun!" Master Ba Song on the side was a little anxious when he heard Master Chalun's words, but Master Chalun was the abbot after all, and even the abbot agreed, so he couldn't do anything.

"Your abbot has agreed, what else do you say?" David looked at Ba Song with an anxious face and said proudly, but Ba Song didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time.

"Master Ba Song, Professor Charles's character is worthy of recognition, let them take a look." Master Charon said in harmony with Ba Song.

"That'...... All right. With a sigh, Ba Song did not want to disobey the abbot's wishes, turned around and walked to the rear, and after half a minute, he came from behind with a key and opened the box made of special glass.

Master Charon took the Crown of Wisdom out of the box and carefully placed it in Professor Charles's hand.

And the excited Professor Charles and the other two scientists also looked through it very carefully.

Looking at the crown of wisdom in Professor Charles's hand, Zhao Qi was also curious. After all, this is a legendary "artifact", although it seems a little sorry for the audience, but it is difficult to guarantee that this is not a very powerful magic weapon. So he quietly separated a trace of aura......

The aura flashed through this crown made of gold, and there was nothing unusual about it, as if it were an ordinary gold ornament.

"Professor Charles, how's it going? Is there anything wrong with this thing? David on the side looked at Charles's frown from time to time and asked.

"This isn't really the 'crown of wisdom.'" Professor Charles, who was deep in thought, heard David's question, and replied without raising his head.

"Don't talk nonsense! Isn't this the 'crown of wisdom'? After Professor Charles finished speaking, Master Ba Song's face changed suddenly, and he reached out and snatched the crown from Professor Charles's hand, and put it back in the box, his face was blue and white. (To be continued......)
