Chapter 614: Subverting the Worldview
The place where the story takes place is real and world-famous, and those artworks and artists are also famous in history, so is this mysterious organization really as real as Zhang Chu described?
Blair closed his red eyes, everyone knew it was fiction, but when he read it, he always forgot about it, so that he could better substitute it and believe in the description.
Then he switched the page to Google, and then searched for Xunshan Hermitage.
Press the Enter key and the unexpected happens!
"Shit, this association really exists!"
There are no written or other verifiable historical materials to prove it before 1956, but it was officially registered in 1956, and even some French national librarians were among them.
Wikipedia gives very little information, and it doesn't say whether Newton, Hugo, da Vinci and others really belong to this organization, but at least it makes people think about it.
Since it's called a hermitage, it's obviously impossible for the general public to know about it! Maybe it's really possible.
But how did Zhang Chu, a Chinese, know?
Could it be that he made this thing up?
Blair was puzzled that this Chinese wrote something that knew more about the history of European literature and art than himself, an Englishman.
"What is there about the Xunshan Retreat that can shock the world, these strange symbols and passwords are actually in da Vinci's artwork, anyway, it's a bit interesting. ”
After watching it for three hours straight, Blair just went to pick up a cup of coffee and came back to continue reading.
There is a lot of related art history, religious knowledge, and historical anecdotes or wild histories that make him want to clap his hands!
With so many historical events, famous literary works and buildings closely combined, Blair finds Zhang Chu's book very charming.
Using the little tricks of psychological suggestion, the sentence set in the opening place of the wedge seems very ordinary at first glance, but when he saw the fifty-fifth chapter, the whole person was creepy!
What exactly is the Holy Grail?
As an Englishman, Blair has heard about the legend of the Holy Grail since he was a child, and all kinds of films and television works about the Holy Grail have emerged in an endless stream.
But there has never been a single work that has made him feel frightened!
In the fifty-fifth chapter of "The Da Vinci Code", the male protagonist Yang Xuan, the female protagonist Sophie, and the mastermind behind the scenes, Ti Bin, are chatting about the past of Da Vinci.
"Leonardo da Vinci painted the true Holy Grail ......"
Blair racked his brain to think about which of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings were related to the Holy Grail.
He knew, of course, that the Bible was man-made, not created by God, nor was it a facsimile from heaven.
Over the years, the Bible has undergone numerous translations and revisions, and it has become very different from its original appearance.
But in Zhang Chu's pen, the Bible was compiled by the pagan emperor of Rome, Constantine the Great, who converted the followers of the Sun Worship religion to Christianity and created a mixed religion!
If all of this was just a trivial, what followed was almost subverting his worldview!
In the Christian story, Jesus is always seen as the Son of God.
However, in Tybin's mouth, this son of God is nothing more than a mortal, an artificially established divinity, which makes it easier to rule Christianity and strengthen the central power of the Vatican.
After discussing the founding and development of Christianity, the three characters finally turned to the Holy Grail.
At this moment, Blair felt that his mood was exactly the same as that of the heroine Sophie, "What are you kidding? The Holy Grail is hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "The Last Supper"? Is the cup on the table inside the Holy Grail?"
This world-famous painting, created by Leonardo da Vinci for the Hall of Thanksgiving near Milan, depicts Jesus announcing to his disciples that someone would betray him.
In order to better understand the content of this chapter, Blair used his iPad to search for the picture of the Last Supper, and followed the instructions to zoom in and observe.
Jesus is seated in the middle, distributing and eating bread, and there is wine on the table, and there is only one wine glass on the table.
Was the goblet that Jesus used a holy grail?
Blair frowned, feeling that things were not simple, Zhang Chu had laid out so much content in front of him, and if he regarded the wine glass as a holy grail here, it would be thunder and rain!
In fact, he really knows Zhang Chu very well.
Each person in the painting is holding a cup in his hand, a total of 13 cups, and it is a flat-bottomed glass shot glass, there is no unique chalice at all!
And the last sentence of this chapter makes Blair shudder, "The Holy Grail is never an object. Actually, it's ...... Alone!]
"Impossible, right? How could the Holy Grail be a person?"
Legend has it that the Holy Grail is a communion cup, just a wine glass.
In Zhang Chu's description, this legend is nothing more than a metaphor for the Holy Grail as an important thing, that is, a woman!
The Christian version is that man created the world, that Eve ate the forbidden fruit and caused the fall of man, and that woman became a derivative of man and was still a sinner.
The Holy Grail is not just a goddess or a woman, but a specific person!
And this person is in "The Last Supper"!
Jesus Christ is in the middle, six disciples are on the left, and the remaining six are on the right, all of whom appear to be male.
Blair maximized the iPad pattern, and after being reminded, he was shocked to find that the face and body of the person on Jesus' right hand seemed to be a little feminine!
The man had long flowing red hair, slender and white hands, and the outline of his chest was faintly visible, as if he was really a woman.
Who is this woman? "The Last Supper" should be painted with thirteen men!
Blair's mind was full of confusion, no one noticed this detail, and over the years the knowledge of the painting had become so ingrained that everyone blinded him to ignore these anomalies.
The woman who could crush the Holy See with her bare hands looked young and pious, and Blair whispered, "Mary Magdalene?" ”
However, when he continued to watch, he couldn't calm down at all!
Jesus and Mary Magdalene were a couple, and they even wore couple clothes!
The painting shows Jesus wearing a red smock with a blue cloak, while Mary's Magdalene wears a blue smock with a red cloak.
One yin and one yang, just opposite!
If that's not subversive, the next paragraph is for Blair to think about whether or not to continue.
The cup with the blood of Jesus is called the Holy Grail, and now the cup is actually a woman, which means that she is actually a woman who bears the blood of Jesus!
Jesus had children with Mary Magdalene!
This is the greatest secret in the history of mankind!
