Chapter 1924 The Legendary Golden Gospel

"Leave the matter of opening these rosewood chests to the Bishop of Kent, he has always been in charge of exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar, and it is up to him to open these chests and enjoy this glory."

The Pope said with a smile and nodded lightly at the Bishop of Kent.

Hearing this, the Bishop of Kent immediately blushed with excitement and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the Pope.

Then, he changed into a new pair of white gloves and walked to the workbench, ready to open the first rosewood box.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said loudly:

"Bishop Kent, when you open these rosewood boxes, it's best to stand on the side of the boxes, and you must move slowly, opening the boxes little by little, to prevent any accidents.

Although these rosewood boxes are not sealed, after all, they have been closed for more than 700 years, and the small environment inside the boxes is still a little different from the outside world, and there must be an adaptation process."

"Okay, Steven, I'll be paying attention"

Bishop Kent nodded in response, and his face suddenly became much more solemn.

It seemed that under his influence, the scene of the temple in the temple church, as well as the countless live broadcasts, the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn and completely quiet.

Almost without exception, everyone looked at the Bishop of Kent with bated breath and at the six rosewood boxes!

"Hoo ——!"

Bishop Kent let out a sigh of relief, and then reached over a gold-carved rosewood chest, then stood on the side of the chest, pressed one hand on top of it, and reached for the gold buckle on the front of the chest with the other.

On the gold buckles of these rosewood boxes, there was originally a bronze gilt lock, but the cylinders of those locks were rusted and could not be opened at all!

Seeing this situation, when he was in the underground palace before, Ye Tian asked the Bishop of Kent to cut all the locks with hydraulic pliers, saving him any more trouble.

"Smack"

With a crunch, Bishop Kent gently lifted the golden clasp of the rosewood box.

Then, he slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box, so careful that he didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere.

Not only him, but also other people at the scene and many people in front of the live broadcast, all staring nervously at the Bishop of Kent and the rosewood box that had been sleeping deep underground for more than 700 years.

There were no accidents, neither crossbow arrows nor poisonous smoke coming out, and it was very calm.

Finally, the Bishop of Kent completely lifted the rosewood box, and the contents of the box were immediately presented in front of everyone's eyes and on the live broadcast screen.

It was a blackened piece of linen, with a horse cross faintly embroidered on it, and something wrapped in the linen, which looked rectangular, but what it was.

Ye Tian glanced at the situation in the box, and then said loudly:

"Bishop Kent, you slowly lift that piece of linen, and your movements must be light, that piece of linen is at least seven hundred years old, and it is already fragile, and it may turn into ashes at any time!"

"Understood, Steven, I'll be careful"

Bishop Kent nodded, then reached out and gently pinched the corner of the linen, slowly lifting it up.

Fortunately, the linen was not in a bad condition and did not turn into ashes.

A moment later, the Bishop of Kent completely uncovered the linen, and several dark gray sheets of waterproof paper appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, the scene immediately resounded with an exclamation.

"Wow, what's in this box? Wrapped layer upon layer, it's too cautious."

"Oh my God! This scene was so tense that I couldn't even breathe well."

After a moment's pause, the Bishop of Kent sprang into action again, and began to disassemble the dark gray grease paper.

As he moved, the oiled paper that was used to wrap things and keep out the moisture was uncovered little by little.

It's time for the last layer of oiled paper, and the mystery is about to be revealed.

Bishop Kent carefully lifted the last layer of moisture-proof oiled paper, but the layer had barely been lifted by ten centimeters when his right hand suddenly stopped in the air, as if pressing the pause button.

At the same time, his face quickly turned red, his eyes were full of incredulity, his eyes were full of excitement, and there were even tears welling up in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the people at the scene and in front of the live broadcast did not know that under the last layer of oiled paper, there must be a legendary and long-lost Christian holy relic.

But what that Christian relic was, no one knows, only the nearest Bishop of Kent and Steven's fellow.

In this situation, there are a few people who can endure it.

"Bishop Kent, what treasure is hidden under that layer of oiled paper?

The Archbishop of London said impatiently, eager to rush forward to replace the Bishop of Kent, and directly lifted the dark gray oiled paper.

With his words, the Bishop of Kent, who had fallen into a state of stupor, was finally awakened.

The next moment, he carefully lifted the last layer of oiled paper, and said in a voice trembling with excitement:

"This is the Gospel of Matthew, and one of the four Golden Gospels that have been lost along with the treasures of the Knights Templar.

God willing, this holy relic still exists, and today it finally sees the light of day, and it is the greatest honor of my life to have the privilege of being fortunate enough to find this golden gospel and display it with my own hands!"

At the same time as the Bishop of Kent said this, the "Gospel of Matthew" in the box was also presented in front of everyone's eyes.

In an instant, a golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, which was extremely dazzling, making everyone a little dizzy, and also reflected the golden splendor of the entire temple in the temple.

Packed in that gold-inlaid rosewood box was a copy of the Gospel of Matthew made of gold, which was rectangular, about 40 centimeters high and about 30 centimeters wide, and it looked very heavy!

At this time, the legendary Golden Gospel was lying quietly in the rosewood box, radiating an incomparably dazzling light under the illumination of the light.

The cover of this religious book is intricately inscribed, and in the center of the cover is a protruding cross of Jesus' crucifixion, and below this cross, a line of Hebrew is inscribed.

Although Ye Tian didn't know Hebrew, as a top expert in antique artwork and was exploring the famous treasures of the Knights Templar, he happened to know that line of Hebrew.

As Bishop Kent said, that Hebrew word means the Gospel of Matthew.

It is no surprise that the scene of the temple in the temple church, as well as countless live broadcasts, were completely boiling in an instant.

"Oh my God, it's the Gospel of Matthew, and it's the Golden Gospel with St. Sépilkle's illustrations, a Christian relic that has been lost for more than 700 years, God willing, let me witness this great miracle with my own eyes!"

"It was a perfect day, a great miracle that everyone will remember forever!"

In the midst of this exclamation, under the gaze of countless hot and hot eyes, the bishop of Kent forcibly suppressed his excitement and carefully pushed the box containing the Gospel of Matthew in front of the pope.

At this time, the Pope had already pushed away the chair and stood up, his face was red, his eyes were shining with excitement, and the whole person seemed to be trembling slightly.

The rest of the scene, the Queen of England and her husband, the British Prime Minister, Prince William and everyone else, all stood up and stared at the gold-inlaid rosewood box and the golden ancient book inside!

"Your Majesty, please take a look, we have finally fulfilled our mission and found this long-lost golden gospel"

The Bishop of Kent said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, and he had already burst into tears.

The Pope did not respond, but looked at the golden gospel in the box stupidly, and was too excited to help himself.

After a long time, he stretched out his hands, reached into the box, stroked the cover of the golden gospel very gently, and then gently opened it.

At the same time, everyone in the scene craned their necks, trying to see what was written on the Golden Gospel.

Countless people in front of the live broadcast are the same, all looking forward to it!

However, they could only see the excited and attentive Pope, see the dazzling cover of the Golden Gospel, and could not see the contents at all.

The next moment, the Pope said in a trembling voice:

"That's right, this is one of the legendary four golden gospels, a real Christian holy relic, I didn't expect it to reappear today after disappearing for more than seven hundred years, God forbid, it's a miracle!"

As he spoke, he lightly drew a cross on his chest, extremely religious.

Immediately afterward, he took another step back, then got down on one knee and began to pray in a low voice.

Seeing this action of the Pope, the Bishop of Kent, the senior monks from the Vatican, immediately knelt down and began to pray in a low voice.

Everyone else on the scene, from the Queen of England to the security personnel, one by one, fell to their knees on one knee and prayed in low voices, each with a face full of reverence.

The same is true in front of countless live broadcasts, but everyone who believes in Christianity, whether it is ordinary people, heinous criminals, whether it is the president or civilians, all knelt down at this time and prayed in low voices.

The content of their prayers is exactly what is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, and it is very appropriate.

Of course, among the people who knelt on one knee and prayed in a low voice, Ye Tian was not included.

At this time, he stood alone in the temple church as if he stood out from the crowd, and he was very eye-catching.
