Chapter 276: The Devil's Bible
Seeing Gewa from a distance, Changsheng nodded as a greeting, and turned back to Sheng Lan and said, "You can tell me more about the Devil's Bible!"
"According to legend, this Bible was indeed written by the devil, but it is only a legend!" Sheng Lan seemed to know the Devil's Bible very well, and replied with a smile, "After I took over this case, I specially learned about the information of the Devil's Bible, and I know it well...... The Devil's Bible is 92 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide, 22 centimeters thick, and weighs 75 kilograms! This book consists of 320 pieces of parchment, and in addition to the entire Old and New Testaments, it also contains many mysterious prescriptions, magic spells, and exorcism rituals...... Do you find it strange to say this?"
"What's so strange?" asked Changsheng, puzzled!
"You may not know that in Western culture, the Old Testament and the New Testament are never written together, let alone spells...... Therefore, this Devil's Bible is also the only encyclopedic Bible manuscript in the world!"
"So what?" said Changsheng speechlessly, "no matter how good it is, it's just a Bible, but it's a little bigger and heavier......"
"Not only that!" Sheng Lan shook his head and said, "Listen to me first, the origin of this Bible......"
"You say!"
"It is said that at the beginning of the 13th century, in a Benedictine monastery in Bohemia, a monk was to be put to death for breaking the precepts, and the next day he was to be buried alive in the wall!
"In one night?" said Changsheng incredulously, "this Devil's Bible was written by a man and in one night?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Sheng Lan didn't answer Changsheng's words, but asked rhetorically in a playful tone!
"Impossible!" Although Changsheng didn't know how many words the devil's Bible had, he thought of the Old Testament and the New Testament, as well as other mysterious prescriptions, magic spells, and exorcism rituals, shook his head and said, "It should be said that it is absolutely impossible!"
Sheng Lan didn't say whether it was possible, and continued, "Like you, the bishop at that time didn't believe that someone could copy the Old and New Testaments overnight, but he still agreed to his request...... In fact, just as the bishop imagined, this was an impossible task! In the dead of night, the monk also found that he could not complete this task, so he began to ask the devil for help, willing to give his soul, and let the devil help him complete this monumental work! As a result, the book was completed overnight, and the monk escaped death, but as a price for selling his soul, the monk quietly added a portrait of the devil to the book and began to speak for the devil!"
"Join the portrait of the devil and speak for the devil?" Changsheng sneered, "There is no credibility in this ridiculous statement!"
"Westerners and Chinese believe differently, they believe in God, angels and devils, and what they believe in is really nonsense for us Chinese!" Sheng Lan smiled faintly and said, "But later, scientists did a very careful study of that book, and through the analysis of the handwriting and ink of the whole book, this huge work is indeed written by one person, but there are still many mysteries in it, so that many scientists cannot understand it......"
"Was the study of this Devil's Bible before the theft of the Swedish Museum?"
"After the theft!" Sheng Lan raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "What do you mean, the real purpose of those thieves is the Devil's Bible, not other valuable cultural relics?"
Changsheng clearly means that the thieves stole the real Devil's Bible and left another fake in a museum in Sweden, perhaps with the intention of hiding it from others, or perhaps with other ideas......
"I'm just guessing!" Changsheng had never seen the Devil's Bible, and he couldn't say whether what he said was right, so he changed the subject, "This is the origin of the Devil's Bible?
"That's true!" Sheng Lan nodded and said again, "However, the devil's illustration is indeed a bit weird, the Bible uses a whole page to draw a huge portrait of the devil, and what is even more incredible is that several nearby pages, including the page where the mysterious portrait is located, are blackened as if they have been roasted by fire, and some people speculate that this is caused by the power of the devil." ”
"That's it, the power of the devil, it's nonsense!"
"You haven't seen that devil's portrait, you must not feel anything, let's put it this way, if you have seen the devil's portrait, you will definitely feel familiar!"
"Why?"
Sheng Lan smiled faintly, and organized a language: "The devil has two curved horns on his head, his eyes are fierce and indifferent, his whole body is covered with fine scales, and his limbs have sharp claws, the whole portrait is hideous and terrifying, do you think it looks like a 'dragon' in Chinese mythology?"
Speaking of this, Sheng Lan suddenly found that Changsheng looked at him with a shocked face, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said strangely, "Changsheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah......" Changsheng suddenly reacted, his voice raised a few points, and said, "Are you sure the devil is in this form?"
"Naturally sure!" Sheng Lan replied without thinking, "That picture is still in the Devil's Bible, you can consult it again at any time, Changsheng, what do you mean?"
Changsheng didn't tell Sheng Lan about it, this devil portrait is very similar to the monster changed by the priest of Jiuli, if the ten witch immortals are not wrong, this kind of full-body scale armor is clearly the form of the Chiyou tribe!
Could it be that this Devil's Bible is depicting the Chiyou people, or does it have a great deal to do with the Chiyou people?
So, what was their purpose in copying the Devil's Bible?
This kind of information naturally can't be told to Sheng Lan, not to mention whether she will believe it, and it's useless to tell her......
"Oh, that's right!" Sheng Lan suddenly thought of an important message, and then said, "I heard that the Devil's Bible was torn off eight pages, but this news has not been confirmed by the museum......"
"So the purpose of that gang of thieves must be the Devil's Bible!" said the immortal to himself!
When I have time, I should go to the Swedish museum and take a closer look at the Bible, and I wonder if there are any other clues left in it after the eight pages are missing?
Sheng Lan no longer talked about the Devil's Bible, and beckoned to his subordinates more than ten meters away!
A man in his thirties came up and took out a plastic bag from his pocket containing a strange mask, made of some kind of wood, with several decorative feathers stuck in the top!
The entire mask is painted in a dull yellow color, and the rough holes appear in the eyes, nose, and mouth, which looks a little funny!
But overall, the Dull Yellow Mask is only weird, and there is nothing mysterious about it.
"What is this mask?" Changsheng said a little strangely!
"This mask is something lost by some thief, there is nothing strange about it, the only value is that this mask seems to be something of the Dogon people, plus some other clues, all point to the Dogon people......"
"Dogon, what's that?"
"The Dogon are a very mysterious primitive tribe, although their living conditions are backward and they are almost in a primitive society, but the Dogon are extremely rich in astronomical knowledge, and it cannot be said that they have rich astronomical knowledge, they are very familiar with Sirius, and they do not have much knowledge of other galaxies...... Moreover, according to Dogon legend, Sirius aliens once visited Earth, and the knowledge about Sirius was taught to them by those aliens!"
As he was talking, Geva in the distance looked at the dark yellow mask in Sheng Lan's hand in a daze, and involuntarily walked over, exclaiming, "This lord wants to find the Dogon clan?"
"That's right!" Sheng Lan glanced at Gueva in surprise and replied, "Who are you?
"His name is Geva, and he is the same partner as us!" Changsheng introduced, "Geva, this is the predecessor of the Mo family's soldiers!"
"The junior Gewa has seen Master Shan!" Gewa replied respectfully, "Don't hide it from Lord Sheng, the junior is a Dogon tribe, what do you have to do with the Dogon tribe?"
Sheng Lan didn't answer Geva's question, and looked back at Changsheng!
Changsheng understood what Sheng Lan meant, nodded and said, "Gewa is his own person!"
Sheng Lan nodded secretly, and briefly told Gvar about the dark yellow mask!
Hearing the words, Gewa was shocked, and exclaimed, "The Grand Master and the Dogon people are just a primitive tribe, and it is impossible to steal the precious cultural relics of the developed society!"
"I didn't say that those cultural relics were stolen by the Dogon people!" Sheng Lan waved his hand and said, "But if you take a closer look, are the floral patterns on these masks the stuff of your Dogon people?"
"Yes!" Gvar just glanced at the dark yellow mask to tell that the mask was indeed a Dogon thing, and nodded, "What do you mean?"
"I want to meet the priests of the Dogon clan and ask about this mask!" Sheng Lan replied with a smile, "Geva, since you are also a child of the Mo family, you are welcome, can you take me and Changsheng to the territory of the Dogon clan?"
"Immortality...... Your Excellency is going too?" Gvar wondered, "Lord Immortal is looking for me just to see my priest?"
"I'm looking for you for something else!" Changsheng said with a faint smile!
Sheng Lan was slightly silent, glanced at Geva and said with a smile, "Geva, tell Changsheng about the legend of your Dogon clan!"
Seeing that Changsheng, Sheng Lan and Gewa were talking and laughing, Xiao Wu and the others also came over and surrounded the three of them in a circle, waiting for Geva to tell the myths and legends.
"Well," Gvar replied with a look of pride and regret on his face, "It is said that four or five thousand years ago, a group of alien beings calling themselves Sirians visited Earth, and our ancestors called them Divine Noam...... Nome is an amphibious creature who usually lives in the water, but can also live on land, and their males are human-like fishtails, but females are human-like snaketails......"
"Isn't that the image of Nuwa Niangniang?"
Geva has studied Chinese culture, so he naturally understands the meaning of Xueyi, and said, "The sacred Nome is the image of Nuwa Niangniang, since I have studied Chinese culture, I suddenly have a feeling that maybe the sacred Nome is not a myth or legend!"
The immortals were also a little shocked, the alien race from Sirius turned out to be the image of Nuwa, could it be that Fuxi and Nuwa were the alien race from Sirius?
That's a bit too bizarre.
