Chapter 67: The Sistine Frescoes

The Van Digang Museum has a long history, it already had the prototype of a religious court in the fifth century AD, and was expanded at the same time as St. Peter's Square in the 16th century, with priceless treasures plundered by the Crusaders, historical and humanistic contexts collected and sorted out over the millennium, as well as targeted creative works of the Renaissance represented by religious fanaticism, which has continued to this day, this museum has become a world-famous art temple.

Walking through the huge square, we are surrounded by twelve galleries and five art galleries, and the Greek, Roman and Renaissance atmospheres are in the air.

As I walked, the Pope introduced me to the veneration of God that the Church had worked hard to support in the midst of thousands of years of turmoil, and I smiled and nodded in approval, and soothed Lisin, who was already impatient, with my eyes.

Zhou Huai'an looked around with great interest, and from time to time he also raised some small questions about religion, and the Pope patiently answered them one by one.

The Sistine Chapel, also known as the Sistine Chapel, is the most important place in Fan Digang. In addition to Michelangelo's two frescoes that represent his artistic prowess, it is also because it was the site of the selection of the pope and the holding of important religious ceremonies.

Standing in the church, I looked up at the frescoes above my head, the creation of the world, the fall of the world, and the undue sacrifice, the three parts of the magnificent masterpiece come to life.

Seeing that I was fascinated, the Pope smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you have any insight into the Genesis of God?"

I lowered my head and said with a smile: "I was thinking that Master Michelangelo created so many murals by himself, and I don't know how much I can get paid by the church?"

The Pope was speechless for a moment, and only after a while did he say: "It is an honor for an artist to contribute his ability to God, which is not measurable by ordinary things." ”

I laughed and said, "This is the church is not authentic, only let the horses run, and don't let the horses eat grass, so what's the difference between you and those leaders in the world?"

I didn't care if the Pope didn't understand, I raised my feet and walked towards the surrounding frescoes.

"The Last Judgment" tells the story of God's destruction of the world, the selected obedient ones stay, and the disobedient ones are all destroyed.

Zhou Huai'an sneered and said: "Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, this is especially about the gods of the West." ”

I smiled and said: "Whether it is the West or the East, whether it is a god or an immortal, they all feel superior to others, and they are in charge of the world, which is their desire and the direction of their struggle." In fact, this is the same in the human world, do you think who doesn't have a little power to infinitely magnify their desires? So I have always believed that the divine realm, the fairy realm, and the human realm are actually intellectually and emotionally connected. ”

Lixin nodded and said, "Your Highness is open-minded, I can't wait." ”

I smiled and said to Zhou Huai'an, "You guys drank together last night, and it was the Lingxiao City Lord who paid the bill?"

Li Xin didn't see Zhou Huai'an's eyes, and said in surprise: "Your Highness is really a god." ”

I laughed and said, "I now believe that the Lingxiao City Lord is the number one immortal in character. ”

Zhou Huaian said embarrassedly: "We just exchanged our experiences and experiences together. ”

I said to Lisin, "All right, the art is finished, so let's get down to business." ”

Lisin said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness." He turned to the Pope and shouted, "Old man, where is my brother?"

I shook my head helplessly, Zhou Huai'an touched his chin, and said, "Last night, Elder Lixin asked me how I could force the Pope with momentum, and I gave him a few martial arts novels for him to study on his own. ”

The Pope turned a deaf ear to Lisin's rants, turned to me and said, "Your Highness, it was here that Elder Mainn met with the Messenger of God, and it was here that he was crucified by the Messenger of God, and then sent to the fresco, and the Messenger of God said that Elder Mainn was only imprisoned, and would not destroy his life. But I didn't have enough divine power to open the mural and rescue Elder Main. ”

I followed his finger and saw the old man in the mural who was carrying a cross and being judged.

Holding Lisin's shoulder, I walked over to the mural and took a closer look, it was completely a mural, without any traces of spatial fluctuations.

I said to Lixin and Zhou Huai'an, "Is there a way?"

The two of them stared at the mural for a long time, then raised their heads and shook their heads at me.

Lisin said, "I think Mains was somehow driven into two-dimensional space. ”

I thought for a moment, turned to the Pope and asked, "What is the origin of the Messenger of God?"

The Pope said helplessly: "That is the messenger of the Kingdom of God who is led by the Ice of God. ”

Sure enough, it was the Ice of God again, and in the Pope's narration, I gradually understood the reason for the incident.

The ice of God has always been the target of the church's attack, because several people have different understandings of God. Like the other two religions, the Ice of God preached monotheism and did not recognize the Son of God, while the Church preached Trinitarianism, and the Crusades and the Dark Middle Ages were the Holocausts that took place under the influence of the Church.

Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Are you afraid of the Divine Ice?"

When the Pope heard me say this, he raised his head and said categorically: "None of the previous popes of the Church bowed their heads before power. After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and then said with a slight reduction in momentum: "Even if there is, it is an expedient measure." ”

Lisin sneered and said, "Then why did you bow your heads this time?"

The Pope raised his head and said in a rebellious manner, "Because the messenger of the ice of God has brought out the holy relics and invited the messenger of the gods. ”

"Oh?" I stopped, turned my head, and said, "What holy relic?"

The Pope hesitated, and when he saw that I looked at him with a smile, he had to say, "It's the Golden Ark of the Covenant." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was interested, and this thing was much longer than the history of the church. According to the Church scriptures, this chest was made by Moses, the Egyptian prince who led his people out of Egypt, split the Red Sea, and returned to the Holy Land to compete with the descendants of his ancestors' brothers for the inheritance. It is said that this cabinet contained a bunch of things, and the most important thing was the "oracle", which was the stuff of the gods. If this thing appears and is real, then it is the only evidence that can prove the existence of God so far.

Lisin smiled and said, "Ethereal things, how do you know it's real?"

The Pope sneered and said: "Elder Lisin, in fact, we have long known that the Holy Son comes from the Divine Mirror of the Immortal God Realm, but the Holy Son also taught us that God is the only supreme, and since the Holy Son has given us the method chosen by the Pope, and also given us that the Pope is the spokesman of God in the world, then we have the right to question the Divine Mirror that has changed its taste." In that case, of course, we have to look for the true God, so we have been groping for ourselves hundreds of years ago. ”

Lisin was furious, but I waved my hand and said, "Okay, these doctrinal disputes, you come down and communicate slowly, I want to know where the messenger of God is, how do you know that the golden ark of covenant he gave you is true, and the elder of my divine mirror can't stay in the mural all the time, right?"

The Pope bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Messenger of God has gone to Geneva, and she said you can go to her." As for the identification of the Ark of the Golden Covenant, we actually deduce from the clay pot in the chest, which contains mana and can never be finished. ”

"Oh?" I laughed, it was interesting, because it says that when Moses got the cupboard, there was a stone tablet with the Ten Commandments written on it, and a staff and a jar with Mana. The staff was Aaron's staff, and the jar contained the amount of food that God had prepared for his people for forty years in the wilderness.

Turning my head, I said to Zhou Huai'an, "Let Bahar go and see this jar that can't finish pouring food." Zhou Huai'an took the order and went out, I sneered a few times and didn't speak. It is impossible to never finish it, and the biggest possibility is that the bottom of this jar is connected to some unknown space.

"What is your relationship with the Divine Ice?" I asked coldly. This organization has wanted my life several times, and it is necessary to know oneself and the other in order to win all battles.

The Pope bowed down in fear and said, "Your Highness, the Ice of God is an independent sect from ancient times, and it is said that those two religions were founded by members of the Ice of God, and the gods they serve are the gods we serve. ”

Lixin laughed and said, "The Ice of the Gods has always been a cult in my Divine Mirror, and you still dare to make a deal with them. ”

The Pope straightened up and said solemnly: "Strictly speaking, the Ice of God and the Divine Mirror, the Church and the other two religions are all in the same vein, but the doctrines are different. Moreover, they have given us the ark of gold, but it is said that the goods have returned to their rightful owners, and that there is no trade. ”

I walked over to an antique chair and sat down, without the Pope's painful expression, and said with a calm face: "Don't talk nonsense, now get down to business." ”

The Pope bent down again and said, "Your Highness, please command." ”

I snorted and said, "What's hell going on, and how do I get in?"

The Pope hesitated, but replied: "It is a world of heresy, it has always coveted the world, and we have defended the passage of the Alps several times, but none of them have been able to penetrate. The army that entered the secret realm of the gods was actually originally to defend against hell. ”

"Okay, then I have one last question. I raised a finger and said, "Why don't you respect the Divine Mirror, but you are so afraid of me and Zhou Huai'an?"

The Pope's body trembled visibly, but he quickly calmed down and said slowly, "Your Highness, forgive me for not being able to answer this question. ”

"Why can't you answer?" I asked.

"This involves an ancient secret, and although it is only a legend, if it is published, it will shake the very foundation of my church. The Pope said.

I laughed and said, "Okay, I won't force you on this matter." But for the nuns, I can tell you plainly, if you recognize the kingdom of God, then there is no need for the church to exist. ”

I said the last word, and my voice became stern, it was already a naked threat. The reason is very simple, our country is being invaded by the Ni people, and if the Church, which has a huge influence in the West, recognizes the kingdom of God, it will have a great negative impact on the war we are waging.

The Pope's waist bowed even further, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Walking out of the Sistine, I said to Lissing: "Put Manin's business aside, go back to the castle first, and go to Geneva tomorrow." ”
