Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

I thought that after the mission was completed, I would leave for the archaeological site.

He said it was archeology, but he thought it was actually tomb robbing. He didn't believe that these gangsters would contribute to protecting the country's culture.

However, Chaer took Lin Ran around inside the pagoda.

After looking at the Buddha statues inside, they were more complete than those in China, and they had a more primitive atmosphere.

After all, there was a period of destruction in China, and many Buddhist statues left over from ancient times were burned.

Lin Ran only felt a little regretful before. After all, if this kind of cultural thing was destroyed, it would most likely be broken.

But after seeing the situation in Curry Country and Burma Country, Lin Ran found that he could actually understand the thoughts of these people.

In an era when most people couldn't even fill their stomachs, when businessmen made money, the first thing they thought of was not to give back to society, but to donate money to the pagoda, because they felt that being able to make money was a gift from the Buddha.

Faith has become something engraved in them, even more important than eating and drinking.

As an atheist, I can understand their thinking, but cannot agree with their ideas.

There are mainly Buddha statues inside, and there are no interesting attractions. Besides, Lin Ran is still being held hostage, and he is not in the mood to play.

When he was about to leave, Char said: "Lin Ran, have you noticed some special Buddha statues?"

When he suddenly asked about this matter, Lin Ran was a little confused.

You must know that Buddhas are different from people. Many Buddha statues have some poses that humans would never do, so there is nothing special about them.

After leaving the Komtar Pagoda, I originally thought we were going to a tomb robbing site.

But the bus was still wandering around indoors, but went to another temple.

This time Charles told Lin Ran in advance: "I hope you can help me keep an eye out for any special Buddha statues."

Lin Ran was confused and asked: "What does it mean to be special?"

"I can't tell." Charles smiled bitterly.

Of course, in this temple, they still offered incense first and then started visiting the temple.

Repeating this, they visited almost all the temples in the city in one day, but still did not see the so-called special Buddha statue.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Ran was assigned a separate room and the treatment was quite good.

He was sitting in the room, hugging his calves, and the soles of his feet were raw.

Although the temples here are well built and have local characteristics.

But in every temple, you need slippers and a change of clothes to enter the temple. Lin Ran is exhausted after going back and forth.

He visited so many temples, but still didn't see any so-called special Buddha statues, and he couldn't understand the people like Char.

It was agreed that he would be asked to help with archeology, and it would be no problem for him to do an appraisal or go to the tomb, but he was asked to look for a special Buddha statue. Lin Ran seemed a little clueless.

At least so far, he has not seen any Buddha statues that make him feel different. The most common ones here are the Sakyamuni Buddha statues. Their shapes and expressions are normal and there is nothing special about them.

Char didn't tell himself what it meant to be special.

Lying on the bed, Lin Ran glanced out the window, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

I originally thought I would just come to Myanmar for a day or two and then go back, but now it has been delayed for four days, and I may not be able to go back safely.

Lin Ran felt that he never wanted to come to Myanmar again.

Early the next morning, Lin Ran was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

After having breakfast, they drove directly out of the city and headed to the suburbs.

Today’s itinerary is still to visit the temple.

"Mr. Cole, do you want a unique Buddha statue? Have you ever considered finding someone to carve one yourself?" Lin Ran asked. He didn't think that if he found a special Buddha statue, Cole would come to pay homage every year. He must have It's something else.

"I'm not sure about this." Chaer said. After two days of getting along with each other, Lin Ran discovered that Chaer was actually a very simple person. He had many things to say to him directly. He was not like the fierce and vicious people outside. .He threatened him with a gun at every turn.

This time they came to a small town near the City of Light.

Finally I saw a completely different scene.

Although this town is not as crowded with high-rise buildings as the capital, it is still very prosperous. There are many people walking around in the city, and they are also wearing local ethnic costumes. On the contrary, Lin Ran and the others look a bit like outsiders.

Char took the map and talked to a local, who pointed out the location of the mountain.

"Looking for the temple again." Lin Ran complained in his mind.

But he felt that the location of this temple was a bit strange. In a country where Buddhist culture is prevalent, most temples are built in the center of the city to represent the city's beliefs.

But this city went in the opposite direction and built the temple on the edge of the town.

So they didn't find the temple at first, and had to ask the locals to find out its whereabouts.

Since it was in a town, Charles didn't let everyone drive there, but walked with Lin Ran.

Of course, because he was worried about whether Lin Ran would sneak away, he sent two bodyguards to follow him. This fringe city was under the rule of a warlord named Tachai. As people from other factions, in order not to To cause trouble, they were not asked to carry automatic rifles, but were equipped with pistols.

As long as Lin Ran dares to escape, he will be killed without mercy.

Lin Ran didn't have this idea. Just now in the City of Light, he didn't even think about seeking help from foreign friends to escape. When he came to such a remote town, it would be weird if someone would help him.

Moreover, Lin Ran was actually a little curious.

What exactly is the special Buddha statue that Char is talking about.

The four people walked through the streets and asked for directions, and finally found this temple on the edge of the town.

Compared with the temples and pagodas I have seen before, this place seems a bit too simple.

There is only a courtyard covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, and there is a red-tiled house in it, which should be the main hall.

Unlike other places, maybe because there are few tourists here, there is no ticket sales point. You can enter directly and don't need to slip on your shoes.

But Char still took the initiative to take off his shoes before entering the temple. Lin Ran thought for a while, and without asking too much, took off his shoes and entered the temple.

This time they headed straight for the main hall.

There was no one inside, no monks, no tourists.

But in front of the Buddha statue, there is an incense burner with a few incense sticks inserted, and green smoke is slowly rising.

While burning incense and worshiping Buddha, Lin Ran took a look at the yellow incense burner.

I have a vague feeling that the quality of this thing is extraordinary. Compared with the incense burners in other temples, it is more primitive, and the material is also somewhat rare.
