Chapter 647: Faith Shaken
The Mona Lisa is famous, and it hangs in a two-inch-thick bulletproof glass frame on the northwest wall of the National Gallery, and Leonardo da Vinci's blending method makes it look ethereal and hazy.
Since its acquisition at the Louvre, the Mona Lisa has been stolen twice, most recently in 1911, when the entire Parisians wept in the streets after its mysterious disappearance, publishing newspaper articles begging the thieves to return the painting.
Two years later, in a room of the Hotel Florence, the painting was found in the mezzanine of a suitcase.
The reason why this work has become a world famous art is not because of a mysterious smile, nor because many art historians have made mysterious explanations about it, but simply because Leonardo da Vinci loved this work and claimed to be his most proud work!
Female worship was an important element of Leonardo da Vinci's artistic practice, and after a brief analysis of the puzzle on the painting, Adam and the protagonist and others discovered six scribbled English words on the bulletproof glass.
Again!
The tense and exciting chase battle is about to break out, which is obviously a suspense of knowledge, but under the plot carefully compiled by Zhang Chu, the reader can't breathe at all.
Adam's brain is like the CPU of a computer, constantly speeding up, all kinds of unbelievable passwords, bizarre and strange in the works of great painters, from astronomy to geography, religion, metaphysics, and history.
It's like playing a game of plotting, stitching together the flashbacks and jumps, not only fleshing out key parts of the story, but also helping him sort out the confusion caused by the frequent plot line shifts.
"It's funny how this wordplay involves religion. ”
At this time, Adam was so immersed in the world that he had forgotten that he was still a Catholic, and he watched it with relish.
But when the painting "The Last Supper" began to be talked about inside, he was amazed!
One of the greatest frescoes ever created, the supper between Jesus and the Twelve, but the man at Christ's right hand had beautiful red hair, his hands were serene folded, and his chest was even slightly raised.
Even the clothes of these two people mirror each other, which is quite characteristic of modern couples' outfits!
When Adam saw this, he leaned directly on the back of the chair and muttered to himself, "It's impossible, it's obviously a man." ”
The painting of the Last Supper can be seen almost as much as Adam never suspected.
Now after being pointed out by the "Da Vinci Code", the doubts in his head popped up little by little.
"It must be fake, it must be the author talking nonsense!"
He took out his phone and googled the picture of the Last Supper, then zoomed in on it, and it turned out to be unexpected.
The details on the picture are no different from the description inside!
Adam's head was a little confused, obviously a very familiar painting, but after looking at it, he felt that it was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
He was a little unbelieving, and some suspected that the picture was specially PS by the publishing company and then uploaded to the Internet, so he swiped the screen to the left to see the next picture, and every picture turned out to be similar!
"Well, even if it's a lady sitting next to Christ, so what. Now that women's rights are on the rise, they pay attention to the equality of men and women. Adam silently comforted himself.
But when he looked at the back text, his whole head was about to explode!
There's a woman on the mural who can barely get tricky, but why is this Magdalene?
Isn't she a daughter? How can she be married to Christ and have children?
But if Magdalene was to be at that time, then where did John go?
The core of the whole book has been revealed, whether Jesus was married, the legend of the Holy Grail, the history of the secret society Xunshan Hermitage, and so on.
There's so much in it that conflicts with the New Testament.
Jesus Christ was a man, not a god, and he was married and bloodlined!
Because Jesus had a daughter and left a message before he died, he was succeeded by his wife, Mary Magdalene. So, in any case, Jesus' heir after death should be a woman.
"The Da Vinci Code" even said that in order to strengthen its own position, the Roman Catholic Church once created a tragedy that killed more than 50,000 women.
More and more inside stories are revealed, and the legendary artifact, the chalice containing the Holy Blood, turned out to be not a real cup, but the corpse of Magdalene that inherited the blood of Christ......
Ya immediately threw the book to the ground, and he walked to the window in panic and gasped for air!
Reading a book, you can see that there are cold sweats, and it is clear that there are not many victims in the whole article, and there is no too dangerous thing, but the inner fear created has always been shrouded in Adam.
This is like a nuclear bomb for religious believers, who are obviously very resistant to various interpretations in their hearts, but they believe it a little.
The frescoes, the Holy Grails, and even the various symbols can be explained, and these speculations are largely self-justifying!
The Holy Grail that had been sought so hard turned out to be a corpse......
Adam looked at the book that was scattered on the carpet, and suddenly he didn't dare to go forward and pick it up, it was written with demonic words, and it was written with something that was too frightening.
The cup of coffee he had drunk and the stimulation made him not sleepy at all, but the fear made him not want to pick up the books on the floor for a while.
In the middle of the night, the Internet was still very lively, Adam took a deep breath, and he wrote on his mobile phone Twitter: "Today I saw a book written by the devil, and the whole person's faith seems to be shaken, which is really terrible!"
Basically all of his friends and relatives follow him, and Adam originally thought that no one was online at this late hour, but he received several replies and likes.
"I know how it feels, you must have watched The Da Vinci Code, right?"
"I also have insomnia, and that book is so scary, it's all I think about in my head. ”
"Is it really that pretty, and why is it scary?"
"As a broad-believer, I find the book wonderful!"
"What exactly, why don't you just say it?"
Adam sat in his chair, his eyes staring at the carpet in a daze, he didn't expect his friends to have this experience, and his brothers and sisters also saw the work.
Since Magdalene's body is the Holy Grail, then looking for the Holy Grail is looking for Magdalene, what is the use of finding it?
What kind of deterrent does this man, who has been dead for 2,000 years, have that can make the Catholic Church desperately destroy?
The problem resurfaced, and Adam felt as if he had been tempted by the devil, and knew that it was dangerous, but he couldn't help but step forward and pick up the books on the carpet.
He drew a cross on his chest and whispered the name of Jesus Christ, hoping to add spiritual strength to himself!
