Chapter 52: The Temple of the Mouse

As soon as he heard old Patella's words, Shakru felt a stomachache. To be honest, this so-called help is definitely not a bad errand, on the contrary, being able to accompany a little beauty to travel, especially the little beauty of Patera's family, is definitely a beautiful thing that many men dream of, but the problem is that Shakru knows very well that old Patella is definitely ill-intentioned by doing this.

Because since he crossed over, he has encountered a similar situation not once or twice, and he has already formed a conditioned reflex, but he really can't refuse this request, firstly, because this is the condition for old Patella to help him, secondly, he has a good impression of Amisha, and thirdly, he also wants to go out for a walk.

So he nodded and agreed: "No problem, this matter is on me, I promise that Amisha will be happy on this trip." ”

The two chatted for a while, and old Patella suddenly asked: "Little Shakru, I see that you have recently hired a group of beautiful Soviet bodyguards, you will not be looking for a daughter-in-law in the future, but you will also go to the Soviet Union to find it, right?" ”

Shakru replied: "This is definitely impossible, after all, I am an Indian, so my marriage must also conform to Indian traditions." ”

This is not Shakru fooling old Patera, this is his heart, although he does not like the country of India, but he is still very satisfied with his current identity, so in order to better mix in India in the future, he must follow the Hindu tradition, then his wife must be Indian, Hindu, and even more high-caste. Of course, this is the wife's request, the lover, there is no need to be so strict.

After listening to Shakru's answer, old Patella was very satisfied, so he smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." Okay, the coffee is finished, the matter is negotiated, I won't disturb your work, just let your director go to Mika Village when the time comes, I'll already say hello. ”

Just as he was leaving, old Patella said again: "You film, I advise you to shoot it quickly, release it quickly, take advantage of the current chaos, no one can spare their hands to take care of you, I can still find someone to help you go through the review, otherwise it will be difficult to say when the situation stabilizes." ”

Shakru understands what old Patera means, because now is the critical moment of the Indian general election, whether it is the Congress Party or the BJP, if anyone interferes in this film on the surface, it is tantamount to publicly giving up the votes of some low-caste voters, which neither side will give up.

And when the election is over, the prime minister who comes to power will first face a huge mess, and India has lost its biggest financial backer due to the collapse of the Soviet Union; At the same time, due to the outbreak of the Gulf War and the rise in international oil prices, India's already small foreign exchange reserves are simply unable to support the import demand for oil, pesticides, steel products, edible oil and other necessities, and it will inevitably face the most serious balance of payments crisis, which is the objective reason for India's economic reform in 1991, and it is also a good opportunity for development that Shakru has been waiting for, otherwise he will never invest in Infosys.

Shakru's memory and judgment proved correct, and on June 21, the Congress Party won again, and the new president of the Congress Party, Rao, successfully became India's ninth Prime Minister, thus the first time since independence that a politician from southern India took over the power of Prime Minister.

As soon as he came to power, the first thing he did was to carry out drastic economic research and reform, and at this time, Shakru also ushered in his summer mission: to accompany Amisha on a trip to the famous Indian city.

Obviously, Amisha's impression of Shakru is still very good, as soon as she returned to Delhi, she came to Shaklu's villa to discuss the travel route with him: "Brother Shaklu, I want to go to Jaipur, Jodhapur, Jensmail, Pushika, Agra, Jhansi, Kolkata, Elola, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, Cochin and Maisuor, do you think you can make it in a month?" ”

"Try to go, it's a big deal that I can't finish this time, I'll continue to accompany you on your next vacation, but I still have a place I really want to go." Shakru said with a smile.

Amisha asked curiously, "Brother Shakru, where are you going?" ”

"Bicaniel."

Amisha frowned and asked, "Bikaner?" Is there anything interesting there? All I know is that it seems to be not far from the golden city of Jensmail. ”

Shakru said mysteriously: "Bikaniel itself is really not very interesting, but there is a temple there, which is quite distinctive, and the gods enshrined in it are estimated to be unique in the whole of India and even in the world, but it is not suitable for the faint of heart, and it is easy to be frightened." ”

Amisha, who was just 16 years old, was the most irritated young and naΓ―ve, and when she heard Shakru say this, she immediately said unconvinced: "Hmph, Brother Shakru, who are you talking about who is timid?" I've decided that the first stop of our trip will be this temple in Bicaniel, and I'd like to see what's scary inside! ”

Not long after Amisha left, she called Shakru, and said in a very proud tone: "Brother Shakru, I thought what kind of terrifying place you said about the Bikanel Temple, it turned out to be the famous Mouse Temple, you didn't say it earlier, I still have to ask my grandfather to know, grandpa said, it's not scary at all, and it's very sacred, so let's go to the Marta Temple in three days." ”

The full name of the Mata Temple in Amisha's mouth is the Karni-Mata Temple, and the most famous name is naturally the "Temple of the Rat", which has been worshiped by thousands of devotees every day for more than 600 years. In 1927, there was an epidemic of bubonic plague in India, and countless people died, but only here was safe and sound, which is breathtaking. The "Rat Temple" is located in Bhikaner, in northern India, and is a famous landscape and cultural heritage of India.

Legend has it that in the 14th century, Shiva sent the goddess Durga to help the poor. The goddess incarnates as a priestess with powerful powers. One day, a storyteller approached the priestess with her dead son in her arms and said, "I love my son so much, I beg you, save him!" The good priestess finds Yama, the god of death, and asks him for help. The indifferent Grim Reaper rejected the priestess's request with only one roll of his eyes. In protest against the Yama god of death's control over the spirits of the dead, the priestess deposited the souls of all storytellers in the bodies of rats, after which the souls possessed by the rats could be reincarnated as humans. In this way, the souls of the dead do not have to wander alone in the world or endure endless torment in the underworld.

In order not to let the souls of relatives wander around hiding in Tibet. The descendants of the storytellers built this temple specifically for rats. They believe that the rats running in the monastery are their deceased relatives. They also believed that when they died, they would turn into rats and settle down in the temple.

PS: I advise you not to look for pictures of this temple, otherwise it will be disgusting, don't blame me!
