章節 36: See the hidden treasure.
Mr. Philip looked at the statue and began to think. He said, "Why is this statue painted on the wall in such a haphazard manner?"
I said, "Surely this statue has something to do with stopping the wheel. Otherwise, why draw this picture like this?"
The colonel said, "You are right. We have to find out the secret of this picture."
We all started looking for that mystery.
I looked everywhere around the room. But nothing was noticed.
After a while Ripvan said, "Since this image is of our God. And we worship it in the room above the temple. So we have to go to the temple room and find out if there is anything."
Ripvan's point is reasonable. I was somewhat reassured after hearing his words.
Mr. Philip said, "Then I and Mr. Halder stay in this room. You go and find out the mystery. One of us must be here. Otherwise the door of the room will be closed. That is why we are here two. You will come quickly." It wouldn't do to delay here too long."
When Mr. Philip had finished speaking, we three, namely myself, Ripvan and the Colonel, set out to unravel the mystery.
We came to the worship room and started searching.
Ripvan said, "There is no need for us to look anywhere else. In the treasure room there was a random picture of our God. So we must examine the statue carefully. Because the solution to the mystery lies in this statue."
We went to the statue. I looked around the statue well.
Ripvan forced his hand in front of the statue.
I thought to myself that he was begging the statue for forgiveness.
When he finished praying, he began to move his hand over the statue. Suddenly a small thing like a cupboard burst out of the wall behind the statue. There is a small wooden box. I went closer and took out the box with my hand. The mouth of the box is locked. I broke that lock with a stone lying in front. Then inside the box, I saw the pieces of the statue lying randomly like the picture on the wall. I felt calm.
"Then we have found what we were looking for," said the colonel.
So now let's go to that treasure room.
We came to the treasure room with that box.
Mr. Philip said, "You were able to find out the mystery?"
Ripvan handed him the box he was holding without saying anything. He opened the box and understood. Then he said, "Arrange these pieces correctly sooner rather than later."
As Ripvan worships this idol. So Ripvan sat down on the floor to fix them.
Then he carefully and skillfully assembled each part of the statue correctly.
When all the tiny parts of the idol are pressed together, notice that the wheel is no longer spinning. We were all very happy.
We approached the box very carefully through the circular path. I went and tried to open that box. But I could not open anything. Mr. Philip said, "Ripvan, bring the statue you just made." Ripvan went to take the statue.
I asked curiously, "What are you going to do with the statue?"
Bring it first and then you can see.
When Ripvan brought the statue, Mr. Philip took it from him. Then he placed the idol in a certain place in the box. Suddenly the mouth of the box opened.
When we opened the box, a light flashed in our eyes. The whole house was illuminated by that light. For a short time the eyes were closed in the light. Then I saw diamonds, gold, gold coins inside the box. The coins are very old. I was surprised. Then I said, "So many jewels. They beat even Ali Baba's jewel cave."
We all saw those treasures. After a lot of movement, I saw a strange thing. Picked up a pot like a vase made of gold. Do various crafts on it.
Mr. Philip said, "We have found the treasure. We must return before the red men come."
Ripvan said, "We can't go out in front of the temple anymore. It's dangerous if the red men see us."
Mr. Philip said in surprise, "Then which way shall we go?"
Ripvan said, "There is a secret tunnel leading out of the temple."
Tunnel way?
Yes, Only the priests know how to find that path. So far I have not told you that I am the son of a priest. If any money greedy people attack this temple then this secret passage is made to keep the treasure in a safe place.
Mr. Phillip said, "You know where to find that tunnel?"
Yes, I didn't see it, but I heard it from my father. It is in the worship room of the temple. This tunnel goes 1 mile through the ground and ends in front of a mountain cave.
But foreigners...…..?
Why did you stop?
We have to go back the way we came out of the tunnel.
Alright, I'll be back.
But we are light in the team. Even if you can dodge the red people, can you dodge the ghosts?
I am not afraid of those ghost people of yours.
But I do.
"Mr. Philip," said the Colonel, "forbid Ripvan to bother with ghost men. Tell him that ghost men are neither men nor ghosts."
What a surprise! But what are they?
They are apes.
I said, "By apes we mean only Otangs and Gorillas. But Otangs are native to the Maldives and Gorillas are native to Africa. It is impossible for an Otang or a Gorilla to be born in South America."
Right. But here another species of great ape has been found. They have not been named yet. But they are neither Gorillas nor otters.
Do you have any proof?
Yes, there is. I can show you the picture of this type of ape on page 1503 of Mr. Hamaton's book 'Wonders of Animal Life'. A few days ago, a biologist went on an expedition to a jungle in South America and they were attacked by two apes of this species by the river. They managed to shoot one of them dead. Red people must be delusional about their ghosts.
Mr. Philip said, "Then the ghost man's nightmare is gone. Now let's try to get the rescue."
We quickly closed the mouth of the box as before. Then I got out of that wheel and shuffled the idol again. The moment I shuffled the statue the moment the wheel started again. We closed the secret room door tightly. I did everything in such a way that the red people did not know that someone had come here. We got up from under the ground and came to the worship room of the temple.
Ripvan explores and discovers a secret tunnel passage.
