My system is not decent

Chapter 903

Reluctantly leaving the Jade Buddha, Chen Wenzhe looked at it while walking, but the Buddha statue was gone, and suddenly, pottery figurines began to appear.

These pottery figurines are relatively familiar, because he has seen them all through the little bear tripod before.

Of course, there are some that have never been seen before, but they are all similar in shape, so Chen Wenzhe just counted them a little, and didn't want to pay attention to them after taking pictures.

The number must be more than five thousand. Those people really know how to find a place, and actually put these pottery figurines in the place where the little devil hid the Buddha statue.

This place is well ventilated, and the air is not too humid. Putting it here really ruined a lot!
Looking at some pottery figurines whose colors are peeling off badly, Chen Wenzhe felt very sorry.

These pottery figurines were poorly preserved. If he couldn't find them, after a long time, they might all turn into a pile of mud when they came here again.

Checking while walking, soon, Chen Wenzhe came to the end of the passage.

However, after reaching the end, why did Chen Wenzhe feel strange?
What is this blocking the hole?It looks like a Buddha statue?
When I got closer and looked carefully, under the illumination of the light, some mud clods were scattered around, and even buried some nearby pottery figurines.

"How big is this Buddha statue?"

After a little calculation, Chen Wenzhe was a little speechless. This clay Buddha statue is at least five meters high.

"A Buddha with a mud body? Those little devils are full? Just because it is big, it was transported here? It couldn't be transported, and it was used to block the door?"

Seeing this big Buddha, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but think of the Golden Buddha Temple in Elephant Kingdom.

The big Buddha enshrined in the Golden Buddha Temple in Elephant Kingdom is a 5500-kilogram golden Buddha. It is divided into five parts and cast, and then assembled into a whole.

And what about the one in front of you?Even a clay Buddha needs a skeleton inside. If there is no support, this four to five meter tall figure would have collapsed long ago.

However, at this time, its muscles and bones have dropped a lot, but this big Buddha still retains its general appearance, which is even more rare. .

"The little devil worked so hard to transport such a big Buddha statue, is it because it is an antique? Stop making trouble!"

Chen Wenzhe used backtracking and immediately saw some pictures he wanted.

Needless to say, there is really a pure gold Buddha hidden inside this mud tire.

The pure gold Buddha, by the way, the one in the Golden Buddha Temple of the Elephant Kingdom is also known as the pure gold Buddha?

Looking at the muddy tire in front of him, the smile on Chen Wenzhe's face grew stronger.

This Buddha statue is really related to the one in the Golden Buddha Temple.

To be honest, there is still a legendary story about the so-called pure gold Buddha in the Golden Buddha Temple of Elephant Kingdom.

The Golden Buddha Temple is the most special temple, because it houses the largest golden Buddha in the world, which is 4 meters high and weighs 5.5 tons.

In fact, judging from this data, it is known that the Buddha statue cannot be a pure gold Buddha.

If it is really four meters high, if it is really a pure gold Buddha, no matter how compact it is in size, it must weigh more than five and a half tons.

Of course, even if the weight reaches [-] tons, it is still very impressive.

The reason why this Buddha statue is legendary is that before 1955, the Great Golden Buddha was not found in the Elephant Kingdom.

And it appeared because the porters accidentally knocked off the clay sculpture outside the golden Buddha, only to find that the clay Buddha turned out to be a golden body.

This matter is very interesting to talk about, it starts with the establishment of the Golden Buddha Temple.

The Golden Buddha Temple is located in Bangkok's Chinatown. It was built by three Chinese with funds raised, so it is also called "Sanhua Temple".

Before those three Chinese built the Golden Buddha Temple, the Golden Buddha was still a clay Buddha. It had been eating ashes for many years in the timber factory built by the British East Asia Company.

It was only in 1955 that I met those three Chinese. At that time, these three Chinese contributed money to build a new temple nearby. The Golden Buddha was hoisted by a crane and prepared to go to the new temple.

The porters carefully hung the ropes on the Golden Buddha, but there was still a hook that was not hung firmly, causing the Golden Buddha to tilt.

No matter how hard the workers pull it, they can't afford it.

The workers watched the golden Buddha fall to the ground, making a dull and loud noise.

The people of Elephant Country believe in Buddhism very deeply. When they saw the golden Buddha falling to the ground, they were afraid that the Buddha would blame them.

But in fact, it was the Buddha statue who arranged this story secretly. Only by breaking the mud outside can people discover the true face of the Golden Buddha.

The workers invited the master who restored the Buddha statue to repair it, but after a while, there was a heavy rain from the sky.

The restoration master could not repair it in the rain, so he could only run to one side to avoid the rain, and the Golden Buddha could only be exposed to the rain on the open space.

After the rain stopped, the restoration master went to restore the golden Buddha, but found that the rain washed away the cracks in the Buddha statue, and the golden light appeared inside the Buddha statue, which was originally made of mud.

They thought they were wrong, but no matter how they looked at it, the light was still there.

At this time, they determined that there was gold in the mud, so they chiseled the mud with tools.

As the area dug out became larger and larger, people really believed that there was a golden Buddha wrapped in the mud.

This golden Buddha is a product of the Sukhothai period in the 13th century, and it has spent 500 years in peace in the country of elephants.

But in 1767, the Elephant Kingdom fought a war with Burma, and it faced the risk of being snatched away by the Burmese.

At that time, the emperor of Elephant Kingdom didn't want such a good Golden Buddha to be taken away by the Burmese, so he asked the ministers to find a way.

It is impossible to transport the Golden Buddha away. The Golden Buddha is too big to be transported, and it is easy to attract the attention of the Burmese people. It may be snatched away by the Burmese people just after moving two miles away.

It is also impossible to install the Golden Buddha with things, because it is not so easy to find a 4-meter-high object to install it.

And there is no place to hide it in secret.

At this time, someone proposed the most dangerous method, which is the safest method.

The Burmese must think that the elephants will take the most valuable things, so they deliberately use this psychological idea of ​​the Burmese to present the golden Buddha in front of the world.

It's just that we need to do a little bit of processing on the golden Buddha, that is, to wrap the golden Buddha with thick mud, so that the Burmese people think it is a clay Buddha, which is a worthless thing.

The clay Buddha really deceived the Burmese, and was not taken away by the Burmese after the war.

However, this trick has also deceived many people from the Elephant Country, who themselves don't know that the clay Buddha is a golden Buddha.

It was not until the porter accidentally dropped the clay Buddha that people knew the true face of the clay Buddha.

After testing, the gold purity of the Golden Buddha's body is 40%, and the hair and the top of the head are the places with the highest gold content, as high as 99%.

The gold content of the whole body of this golden Buddha is worth 2.5 million U.S. dollars according to the market value at that time.

As a country where all the people are enthusiastic believers in Buddhism, the big golden Buddha in the Golden Buddha Temple is not sold no matter how much money it costs.

It is still well placed in the temple and has become a scene of the temple.

Many tourists come here especially to pray that the Buddha statue can keep him safe and healthy.

Because this golden Buddha is the largest golden Buddha in the world, it attracts tourists from all over the world.

It can bring huge economic profits to the Elephant Country every year, which makes the people of the Elephant Country believe in it even more.
