Rebirth of India: Superior

Main text Chapter 73 Curse

Immediately, Tasim also immediately started looking for someone to send a response. The first person to come forward was Sashibsha, a historian who studies the Varma dynasty, saying: "Padmanaba Swamy Temple is the breath and life of the Varma royal family. The treasures should continue to be kept in the temple, and all affairs of the temple should continue to be controlled by the descendants of the Varma royal family ∷" (Historians who study the Varma dynasty in Cochin have no connection with the Varma family. Who believes it?)

In order to muddy the waters, Tasim also found someone to express another view: "In view of the historical and appreciation nature of the treasures, they should be displayed to the world. Some scholars said that the temple treasures are the best examples of material civilization in the region. The display is conducive to interpreting the former commercial culture of Kerala in many aspects. Therefore, we should learn from Egypt and preserve the treasures in museums near the temples to allow the public to visit and facilitate research by scholars. "

Of course, at this time, there were also neutral people who had nothing to do with the two forces who came out to make suggestions. For example, historian Panikkar suggested that the Louvre or the British Museum in India should be established based on these treasures. He said: "This is an excellent opportunity. We should build a museum with international standards and display the treasures for people all over the world to appreciate." He believes that after the museum is completed, it will supplement and stimulate the development of Kerala. The pillar industry of tourism is tourism.

In short, there were divergent opinions and disagreements at this time. Just when both sides were fighting a public opinion war in the newspapers, another headache for the state government happened. Just when they planned to use a gas cutting machine to open the last room. When he entered the largest B-sized secret room, he was suddenly stopped by a large number of believers.

In fact, when Tasim and Shakru opened the first secret room, this matter had already been known to the fanatics. As the news gradually spread, more and more fanatics came from all over the country to Padma. People came here from the Nabha Swami Temple. They were wearing white robes and barefoot, sitting around outside the temple, chanting sutras and praying in protest, hoping that the government would not continue to open the secret chamber, so as not to bring disaster to the local area. One of the theories is that opening the secret room b will open "Pandora's box", which will bring curses and disasters to the area where Padmanabhaswamy Temple is located, and those who open the secret room with their own hands will be destroyed.

Some believers warned that there is an underground passage connecting Chamber B to the sea. If the secret chamber is opened, the wrath of God will be triggered, and the sea water will pour in and flood the entire city. Someone even dug out a news item from the 1930s, saying that in 1908 someone tried to open the secret room of the temple, but was scared away by a group of cobras. According to Hindu legends, cobras guard sacred places. Therefore, some believers believe that there must be a large number of cobras in the secret room B. They have guarded the secret room for hundreds of years and are always ready to attack those who try to enter.

Experts naturally sneered at this statement, because judging from the several secret chambers that have been opened, there is neither enough oxygen nor fresh water, nor are there any rats that can be used by cobras to satisfy their hunger. How could they survive until now? There are no traces of cobras in the several secret rooms that have been opened, so there is no reason why there should be in the last one.

Even so, the state government had to temporarily stop opening the B-size secret room to calm the emotions of the believers. Otherwise, once these believers are angered, it is easy to have a bad impact.

Shakru originally wanted to join in the fun and see if there was anything interesting to do, but at this time an unexpected incident disrupted his plan.

The beginning of the matter came from Imran, the vice president of Rajesh Trading who was responsible for contacting him. Shakru suddenly received a call from him that day. Shakru was still a little surprised by this, because he had just met Rajesh. The company finished trading a batch of gold. At that time, Imran also said that due to the limited liquidity on the company's books, it would be difficult to make additional acquisitions in the short term. He hoped that Shakru could give him more time, so he asked curiously: " Mr. Imran, is your company’s balance sheet now strong?”

"No, how is it possible that such a large amount of money suddenly came into the account? This time I'm bothering Mr. Pandit for something else. Do you want to sell the ten 12th-century gold oil lamps in your hand?" Imran explained.

After hearing Imran's explanation, Shakru felt even more curious, so he joked: "Huh?! Is Rajesh Company still taking care of this kind of project now?"

Imran quickly denied: "No, it was a big customer of our company who wanted to collect these ten gold oil lamps after learning that you had them, so he asked us to ask you."

Saying this, Shakru felt it was very reasonable, because such a big thing as the treasures of Padmanaba Swamy Temple would definitely attract the attention of collectors in India and even internationally, but now he only has his own official channels. It is possible to purchase the ten golden oil lamps listed above, so it is normal for someone to want to contact me.

Although these ten golden oil lamps are said to come from the ancestors of the Pandit family, the problem is that Shakru has never considered himself an Indian, let alone a member of the Pandit family, so naturally there will be no As for the sense of treasure, if the price is right, then there is nothing wrong with selling it, so he asked: "Oh, how much is this big customer willing to pay?"

At this time, Imran on the other side said hesitantly: "Um, well, that gentleman thinks you are also a collector, so he wants to exchange collections with you through barter."

Before Imran finished speaking, Shakru interrupted him and said, "Forget it, I'm not a collector. If he wants to buy, he should prepare enough US dollars, otherwise forget it." Shakru was not trying to fool Imran, but he really had no interest in collecting. It was troublesome to keep such antiques, and he had to be wary of others stealing them. In the end, it was not guaranteed to increase in value. He didn't have too much money to spend, but he didn't want to invest in this.

Hearing Shakru say this, Imran was a little anxious: "Mr. Pandit, don't rush to refuse. Mr. Ezkenna has rare treasures from all over the world, and he will definitely be able to meet your requirements. You can even go and take a look. If there is really nothing you want, it's not too late to refuse, right?"

Originally, Shakru wanted to refuse again, but when he heard the name "Ezkenna", he suddenly felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere in his previous life. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
