Chapter 108: Night
With decorative lights dappling the car windows, luxury advertisements playing between buildings and luxury cars passing by the road, the nightlife belonging to the Indian aristocracy is about to begin.
Caesar and Zero sit in the black Rolls-Royce, and although they are not Brahmins, they are indeed qualified to participate by virtue of their status.
Maharakshmi Temple, a well-known tourist attraction in Mumbai, is located on the coast, facing the Arabian Sea, and the temple is dedicated to Lakshmi, the "goddess of wealth", with many Indian statues and incense.
This state-of-the-art building is made of pure white marble, which reveals a pearl-like luster against the backdrop of the light.
As soon as they got out of the car, the three of them saw groups of devotees walking inside, most of them wearing plain robes, and the women wearing golden veils.
Caesar and Zero walked in front, both of them held their heads high, and did not have any devotion to the so-called temple, and the god-killers were first and foremost theists, but they would not have gods in their hearts.
Passing through the arched door, in front of the two of them is a long street paved with white stone bricks, flanked by neat linden trees, and the dark green leaves look somewhat sacred under the illumination of the landscape lights under the trees.
The assistant began to salute each linden tree one by one, and Caesar turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Don't you believe in the God of Wealth?" ”
"Naturally, you can ignore Hinduism, because you are destined to leave, and I have to mess up."
Caesar shrugged and looked at Zero to the side, "Why don't you bow too?" ”
"Nope." Zero direct rejections.
"Yes, if you have any statues, they should be enshrined in AK-47 or Tsar Bomba." Caesar teased.
"It sounds like this lady is Russian."
A voice came from behind Caesar, causing him to look back.
The man in front of him was wearing a turban, with a red dot between his eyebrows, and the white skin of the Aryan showed that he was an Indian nobleman.
"I wonder what you two want to visit here?"
Zero took out the statue of the Bodhisattva from his bag and said, "Is there an offering here for this?" ”
"Nope." The man took a deep look at the statue of the Bodhisattva.
"Are you a tour guide?" Caesar said, "Can you show us a little bit about this temple?" ”
"Want to join Hinduism?" The man looked at Caesar, "People like you should be Christian." ”
Caesar shook his head and said, "My family does not believe in any religion, and the older generation of my family believes in violence. ”
"The older generation in your family has a very good appetite for me." The man held out his right hand, "Fisher Rhodes, my name." ”
"Caesar Gattuso."
"Gattuso?" Fisher was stunned, "Your family won't be in.... Sicily bar. ”
"That's right." Caesar nodded.
Fischer approached Caesar and whispered, "People from the Kassel Academy? ”
"You know the Academy?" Caesar said with some vigilance that if the person in front of him knew about the Kassel Academy, he must know the secrets of the dragon family.
"Of course, I'm an alchemy graduate of the class of '94."
"Why haven't I heard the principal mention that there are also college graduates here." Caesar looked at Zero with an inquiring look, who shook his head.
"I have a very low bloodline, only a B grade, and after graduating, I will go back to Mumbai to take over the family voice." Fisher scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Is there something going on with the academy here?" ”
"It's not a big deal, just find two people." Caesar waved his hand.
"Who?" Fisher asked, but he looked at Caesar and smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to help." ”
"My family is okay here."
"We'll find it ourselves." After Zero finished speaking, he walked forward, preparing to go straight to the main hall.
"Two, two." Fisher caught up with the two of them behind, "Recently, the temple has been renovated and does not accept foreign guests. ”
When Fisher finished saying this, the lights in the hall were immediately extinguished, and all the landscape lights were extinguished in turn.
Squeak~
Zero pushed open the door to the main hall and looked inside.
"I told you two that it's being renovated." Fisher walked over to Zero's.
In front of the two of them was an empty hall, and there was not even a single statue of a god.
"Now you can go back." Fisher shook his head helplessly.
"I don't think I can go back yet." Caesar also entered the main hall, looked at Fisher, and said, "You know the statue." ”
"I don't know that." Fisher waved his hand repeatedly, "I've never seen that thing." ”
"Heartbeat." Caesar reopened his eyes, and inside them were golden children's holes, "Your heart beats too fast when you see the Bodhisattva image. ”
"You're lying."
"I'm so ....."
Dodo~
Caesar knocked on the wall on the west side of the main hall, "My spirit is a sickle, which makes my hearing far beyond ordinary people." ”
"There are a lot of people behind this wall, so they can't be all renovation workers."
"It's a sickle..... "Fisher smiled, "it seems that your bloodline should be much better than mine." ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal to tell you."
He walked over to the wall and put his hand on the white wall, which instantly became transparent.
Caesar and Zero looked sideways, and inside was a group of people sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding the Gandhino in their hands, but instead of a wooden fish, they were beating a small white drum.
"Welcome to the Tantric Teachings!" Fisher shouted.
"We haven't said we're joining yet." Caesar raised an eyebrow, wondering if this man was too confident.
"When you see that, you have to join." Fisher said.
"What if I say no." Caesar's hands were behind his back, apparently behind his back, but in fact, two loaded desert eagles were already on top of the tiger's mouth.
"There is no such thing as not joining, there have always been only living people who have joined the religion, and there have been dead people who have not joined the religion."
"You're pretty confident." The light in Caesar's eyes grew brighter, "I'm afraid you're going to make an exception today!" ”
As he spoke, two Desert Eagles were drawn from his back and aimed at Fisher.
"I'm sorry, but now it's up to me to take the initiative." Caesar said.
"Really?" Fisher's expression was calm, as if the large-caliber pistol he was holding against his head was just a toy, "I'm really not your match, but I don't want to fight." ”
"Your opponent is them." Fisher pointed to the arched gate.
Caesar and Zero looked in the direction of their fingers, and the assistant was already lying in a pool of blood, and there seemed to be several figures around the corpse, their eyes as bright as fog lights.
When the figures walked in front of the two of them little by little, by the moonlight, they also saw the appearance of the figures clearly.
They wore half-exposed robes, and their blue faces were like the demons of ukiyo-e, with their mouths wide open, and inside them were intertwined fangs.
"Let me introduce me." Fisher said, "The Nakshatras, loyal soldiers of the Mughal Empire. ”
"They are the people of Shesha, a god-made species of the underworld, with a physique close to a god, close to the appearance of a ghost, but they are not endowed with an independent spirit and free will, and live in a forgotten world."
"Now it has been reborn by the High Priest!"
