The temples in Thailand are a mixture of Southern Buddhism and local customs.

Compared to Chinese temples, Thai temples are more luxurious.

Many Thai temples appear to be resplendent, and under the resplendent, there are white steps and walls to show the sanctity of Buddhism.

When Vannara drove the car to the Huandalatiman Temple s, Jiang Chao, Zhao and the others got off.

"Section Chief Hai, let's go to the commercial street at the side first, there are a lot of shops selling buddhist tokens and Kumantong." Vannara suggested.

"Alright." Vannara was not only their guide, the Thai police also wanted to co-operate with them in cases where killing young children and turning them into Kumantong. Moreover, this kind of heinous act was also a heinous crime in Thailand.

Vannara led Jiang Chao and the other two to the business street in Huandalatiman Temple. This business street was very long.

This Huandalatiman Temple was a famous royal temple in Bangkok, and it was extremely popular.

The Huandalatiman Temple had existed since the start of the Great City Dynasty, and in these several hundred years, the scale of the Huandalatiman Temple and the surrounding commercial streets had faintly become a tourist attraction comparable to the Jade Buddha Temple's imperial palace in Bangkok.

Vannara led the way, and observed the entire journey very carefully.

Every time he went into a shop, he would ask about Kumantong s and prices using the simple Thai he learnt from Vannara.

But Kumantong s that were made from baby and baby corpses were strictly prohibited by the Thai government.

Therefore, even when Jiang Chao and the rest went around half a street, they did not find anyone with such a Kumantong.

"Boss, do you know Master A Zanwan?" When they arrived at the Buddha's Shop, which had more Kumantong s than most other customers, Vannara asked.

A Zanwan had asked for A Zanwan's information, and Jiang Chao had already taken the photo taken from the back of the first dead infant, and gave it to Vannara.

Thaksa's translation software also seemed to be useful, according to Vannara's words, when this person translated his voice into Chinese, it was indeed A Zanwan.

"A Zanwan?" The owner of the Buddha's Shop saw that Vannara was wearing a police uniform, and Jiang Chao and the others looked like they were outsiders.

The boss of Buddha's Shop seemed to know something, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head: "I do not know this person."

"But you guys can go to the Huandalatiman Temple and ask, if it's the master inside the temple then you will know." The owner of the Buddha's Shop said.

There seemed to be no difference between boss Buddha's Shop's answer and not asking.

"Then inside the temple, are there any Kumantong s that can be made from fetal or infant corpses?" Vannara hugged her arms and frowned.

The owner of the Buddha's Shop was obviously a little uncooperative.

Hearing Vannara's question, the owner of the Buddha's Shop looked around.

He indicated for Vannara to go to a more convenient place to talk.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chao and the rest were waiting inside the Buddha's Shop house for Vannara and the owner to come out.

Jiang Chao walked around this Buddha's Shop shop. This clan's Buddha's Shop was more or less the same as the other shops.

But the reason why the people here were so popular was because the location on the business street was much better, and it was because the Kumantong s here had a high price tag, so their production skills were quite good.

For example, a gold-plated Kumantong whose price should be around 170 thousand yuan.

The Kumantong was dressed in a beautiful cardigan, with a wreath around its neck.

The technique of the Kumantong s' hands and feet was rather good, Jiang Chao suspected that the Kumantong was made from baby corpses.

When Vannara returned, Jiang Chao and the others had a rough understanding of the Buddha's Shop's situation.

Vannara directly walked in front of them.

"Section Chief Hai, let's directly enter the Huandalatiman Temple."

"Comrade Vannara, won't you continue interviewing us here?" Hai Dafu knew that the owner of the Buddha's Shop must have said something to Vannara.

"No need, the masters in making Kumantong s are basically all from temples, and only they are able to master the production process and how to become open-minded. A large portion of the Kumantong s in the commercial street outside the temple are all made by masters of Huandalatiman Temple, and only a small portion are made by the small temples around Bangkok." Vannara explained.

Although Thailand wasn't big, its land area was even smaller than a large province of China.

But because Thailand believes in Buddhism, there are more than 30,000 Buddhist temples in Thailand alone.

This number was quite shocking, of course it was also for scenic spots like the Huandalatiman Temple or the Jade Buddha Temple, where a live demonstration of how to make Kumantong was only a way for them to attract tourists.

However, many incense burners could not be considered to be flourishing in the small temples, and the craftsmen in there could only use the production of the ancient manes as a way to earn a living.

The temple was very successful in Thailand, even with the Police Certificate, he still had to buy a ticket.

Vannara, who was in charge of the reception, did not ask Jiang Chao to pay.

She bought four tickets by herself.

However, Vannara had instructed her, once she entered the Huandalatiman Temple, she would need to obtain these tickets. She would also have to pay them back when she returned to the Bangkok Police Department.

After finally entering the Huandalatiman Temple, there were strict clothing requirements to enter the temple in Thailand.

Do not wear shoulder - revealing clothes, this is the most basic requirements.

As for the large underwear towing board, it was even more impossible to wear it into the temple.

These were all seen as disrespectful behavior towards the Buddha.

As per the customs, Jiang Chao and the others respected the local customs and practices.

After entering the temple, Vannara did not bring them around, but led them directly to the hall where Kumantong were produced.

This hall seemed to be a little smaller, but it was also located in a rather remote area.

After Jiang Chao and the others took off their shoes and entered, they saw that there was a tall and big Buddha statue inside the hall. The Buddha statue was gold-plated and its appearance was extremely gentle.

And at the base of the Buddha statue, there were dozens of Kumantong.

There were big and small Kumantong s, and in front of these Kumantong, there were fresh flowers, candles and snacks, all of which were used to raise Kumantong.

An old monk was sitting on the ground and drawing the eyelashes of an incomplete Kumantong.

The old monk had a lot of tools to make Kumantong around him.

There was a box to collect the ashes, a jar to mash flowers and a wooden pestle, and gold foil to add gold to the Kumantong.

"Miss Vannara, is this the only master at creating Kumantong in the Huandalatiman Temple?" Jiang Chao asked in a low voice.

"It's not just this one, this is only a place for tourists to visit. There should be other places in the temple that specialize in producing Kumantong, but I don't know their specific location, and I'll have to ask this master about it later." Vannara explained.

Vannara did not ask immediately, because the process and the ceremony of creating the Kumantong could not be interrupted.

When his master had finished drawing all the facial features, he placed the Kumantong in front of the base of the Buddha statue.

Master sprinkled water on the Kumantong's body and started to chant an incantation.

Amidst the deep chants, the Kumantong sat there quietly. This kind of ceremony gave people a very mysterious and holy feeling.

After his master finished chanting the spell, he stood up.

This Kumantong could be considered finished, but what Jiang Chao did not expect was that a tourist from Hua Xia, who was waiting for him, immediately took this Kumantong with gold leaf away.

"Savadika!" Vannara took advantage of the old monk's free time to quickly walk forward.

The word 'Savadika' is often used in Thailand. It is the beginning of polite conversation, and it has a auspicious meaning.

Vannara greeted the old master.

The old master also told Sawatika as he clasped his hands together in front of Vannara.

Immediately after, Vannara did not beat around the bush, and said: "Master, my friend wants to invite a powerful ancient man, do you have one here?"

Although Vannara was wearing a police uniform, she did not say that she was investigating a case.

Vannara was afraid that she would not be able to reach her goal after revealing her purpose for coming here.

The old master looked at Vannara. Vannara, Jiang Chao and the other two foreigners seemed to be together.

"There is, but the price of strong mana Kumantong is also relatively high." The old master said.

"Look at that big black Kumantong, it's a little stronger, but the price is also a little higher. If your friend wants to be sincere, then 1 million baht is enough."

The old master said one million baht and one million baht was equivalent to more than 170 thousand yuan.

Vannara's expression changed, but she laughed: "Master, my friend from Hua Xia is doing business, do you need any money? And when he came over, he asked for Master A Zanwan's Kumantong, Master, do you know Master A Zanwan? "

"A Zanwan?" Vannara only needed to probe a little before this old monk's expression changed.

"A Zanwan is not a formal monk. He is a dark Magus. The old monk's expression turned serious.

"Then Master, do you know how to contact Master A Zanwan? If you are willing to help, we will show our appreciation. " In the temple, it was not allowed to give money directly to monks, even if it was buying and selling Kumantong s, it would be done by karma.

After Vannara finished speaking, she also took out two baht that had a value of 500 and threw it into the contribution points box.

"No need to express your intentions, if your friend insists on going to find A Zanwan, go to the Mandala Temple, he has been there the entire time." The old monk stopped Vannara.

"Mandala Temple?" Vannara's face froze.

"Master, my friend's friend bought Master A Zanwan's Kumantong, his Kumantong has' Enlightenment 'written on it, isn't Master A Zanwan a monk here?" Vannara asked doubtfully.

"Many Kumantong made by dark wizards often carry Huandalatiman Temple or the labels of other great temples. Go find him at Mandala Temple, but you better not buy his Kumantong, his grievances are too heavy for ordinary people to handle." The old monk said.

The old monk had a good heart.

When Vannara arrived in front of Jiang Chao and the others, he told them what the old monk had told them.

In order to not delay any further, Vannara and Hai Dafu discussed with each other and immediately left Huandalatiman Temple for the Mandala Temple.

A Zanwan seemed very scary to the old monk.

, Jiang Chao and the others were policemen after all, they had seen too many terrifying situations.
