Chapter 2402: Golden Buddha Statue
Just after seeing the incense burner, Lin Ran suddenly felt a special feeling in his heart.
This temple is different from other temples.
Then they started working again.
There are not many Buddha statues placed in this temple, and they are all of Sakyamuni.
However, these Buddha statues are very small, about twenty centimeters in length, and have different shapes, but they all look very solemn.
Lin Ran's attention was not on these Buddha statues, but on the murals above the temple.
What is painted on the mural is the origin of Myanmar's Buddhist culture, which is exactly the story that Char told himself in the car.
Lin Ran looked up at the mural, while Char was inspecting the Buddha statue beside him, and suddenly felt a little curious.
"Lin Ran, are you working seriously?"
He also raised his head and saw the mural. As a native of Myanmar, he was no stranger to this story.
But as an archaeological practitioner, he could actually understand Lin Ran.
"Well, I've seen it, and there is no difference between these Buddhas." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Brother Charles, you won't tell me, what do you mean by special?"
Char bit his lip, as if he didn't want to say anything.
But I also felt that it was a little unreasonable for the master to invite Lin Ran for help and not tell him what they were looking for.
After weighing the pros and cons, Char said.
"We are looking for a golden Buddha statue."
"Golden Buddha statue?" Lin Ran was a little puzzled. It is really hard to find gold Buddha statues because most of them are gilded. Gold is relatively hard and is not suitable for carving, especially Buddha statues with certain religious characteristics. Colored items.
The most important thing is that the golden Buddha statue is too conspicuous in the temple and can easily be spotted.
Besides, how could he suddenly think of finding a golden Buddha statue? If he just wanted a Buddha statue made of gold, with Cole's level, it would probably be no problem even to build a golden Buddha statue at the level of the Leshan Giant Buddha. Why let them build it one city after another? Go there and look for this legendary Buddha statue.
"That's not the case." Char said, "The inside of the golden Buddha statue is empty, and the things inside are..."
At this point, he felt as if he had talked too much, so he chose to shut up.
Fortunately, the two bodyguards have no faith, or they feel that what they are doing is no longer worthy of belief in Buddhism, so they will never enter the temple.
Char looked at Lin Ran nervously and said, "I'm telling you this, but you must never talk to anyone else."
"I know." Lin Ran could understand Char's mood. Based on his psychological analysis of the people in this country, he probably heard some rumors, such as immortality.
For a person of Cole's level, money is no longer an issue. What he pursues is probably higher-level things.
"He just read about this matter in a book and then asked us to find it?" Lin Ran frowned. If it was just a legend without any reason, he might not be able to solve this matter within a month.
"Yes, but I have also heard of this legend. I think he must exist." Charles did not get entangled because the task was unreasonable. Instead, his eyes looked extremely clear. It could be seen that he was also full of excitement about finding the golden Buddha statue. enthusiasm.
Anyway, there was no one else in the temple now. Lin Ran felt that Char was a colleague with whom he could communicate, so he talked about some of his ideas.
"When was the Buddha statue you mentioned built? Where was it placed before?" Instead of looking around like a headless fly, Lin Ran would be better off analyzing the possibilities before taking action.
Char hesitated for a moment, not expecting that Lin Ran would take the initiative to ask about it.
After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "The specific time is not very clear, but according to the data, it should be near the City of Light, and the last time it appeared was 50 years ago."
He sighed as he spoke.
50 years ago.
Lin Ran's frown deepened. He couldn't understand how these people could spend such a huge amount of money for a mythical legend.
Moreover, this time point is really too dangerous.
Lin Ran said: "Char, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Haha, Lin Ran, you are also an archaeologist in China, right? Our industry is all about bold assumptions and careful verification, so you can just say it."
Char's speech is somewhat literary. After all, he also returned from studying in China. He couldn't find a suitable job in Myanmar and was finally selected by Cole.
"Well, it must have been 40 years ago that Myanmar was also caught in a war." Lin Ran said.
At that time, Neon had become a disaster in Asia, invading all countries in Asia, burning, killing and robbing other people's territories, doing all kinds of evil.
If all the golden Buddha statues were there, they would have been snatched away by the neon people.
When this matter was mentioned, Charles rarely gritted his teeth. It was obvious that he was full of hatred for the Neon People.
"Indeed, we took away many Buddha statues and many Buddhist scriptures during that war." Char said with some tears. "You have to know that even if we go to war here, we will never attack the temple. , only those dwarf demons would do such a thing!"
Lin Ran saw him showing mood swings and remained silent.
What he wanted to say was actually this. If there really was a golden Buddha statue and it appeared 50 years ago, it would have probably been snatched away by the neon devils.
They conducted a blanket search near the City of Light, and the probability of finding it was not high.
After all, an item of this level can be said to be a top-level sacred object. If the temple has this Buddha, it must be hung up and publicized to get more donations.
Thinking of this, Char also hesitated for a moment, and he also felt that this was a possibility.
If it is really taken away, things will be troublesome, and it will be impossible to get it back.
"If I really can't find it, I'll go back and talk to Mr. Cole about it." Char said.
If that's the case, you should go to the Neon Museum to see what's going on.
Lin Ran and the others were about to leave when the host walked into the hall.
Seeing two outsiders, he looked at them expressionlessly.
This is not a tourist attraction, so why would tourists show up at this temple.
Lin Ran was somewhat interested in this temple and just wanted to chat with the host.
Char just wanted to leave, so Lin Ran whispered: "Instead of looking around, it's better to ask people directly."
"How could something like this tell us?" Char whispered.
"As the saying goes, Buddha saves people who are destined to be together. If there is really a destiny, he has no reason not to tell us." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he came to the abbot and clasped his hands in salute.
