Chapter 0436: Old Lovers Reunited
When you enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, you will be greeted by the vicissitudes of history and the sacred atmosphere of religion. There were devout Christians kneeling in front of the red marble where Jesus' body had been kept, praying, and wiping the marble with their clothes. It is said that it can be stained with the blood of Jesus' crucifixion, which is a sacred thing and brings good luck.
Several white holy lamps hung from the marble, emitting light. They belong to the Franciscan, Greek Orthodox and Armenian sects and are known as the light of life.
After the previous prayer had left, Charlei also walked over to the red marble, knelt down, and prayed reverently.
Tang Yuyan and Long Bing glanced at each other, and then knelt on Xia Lei's left and right sides, praying with him.
"I'm not a Christian, but I believe in you. If you can hear my voice, please bless my father and give him peace. If he is guilty, bring the chastination upon my head. Also, please bless my sister, she is a kind girl. Please bless my fiancée, Shentu Tianyin, she is also a kind woman. Such prayers are not the standard prayer of Christians, but Charley's heart at this moment is indeed pious.
After praying, Xia Lei also took off his coat and gently wiped the spotless red marble. In the process of wiping, his left eye jumped slightly, and the sight of his left eye was like a sharp knife cutting towards tofu, quickly penetrating the marble, and then sinking down.
Beneath the marble was a slate of stone, underneath the slab was earth, and his left eye had not been able to see far enough to see nothing. If there was something buried beneath the marble, he would have found it. It's a pity that there is nothing under the marble.
Xia Lei's gaze then moved to the handbag beside Long Bing, and the sight of his left eye penetrated the handbag, and he saw the compass of the Ming Dynasty, and also saw the direction of the pointer, and the pointer was vibrating violently.
"This sign means that something is hidden under this marble, but I can't see deeper, if it's really buried underneath, how can I dig it up?" Xia Lei's brows furrowed. No one can move the ground in this place, and if it is really buried under this marble, the secrets of the ancient alloy and bronze treasure book may never be solved. There is also Princess Yongmi, and the secrets on her body will continue to be silent and difficult to decipher.
Long Bing and Tang Yuyan also took off their coats and pretended to wipe the red marble.
After wiping it, Long Bing opened the handbag, took a look, and then pulled the handbag up again. She didn't speak, looking wary.
The three of them left the red marble and walked out of the sanctuary, then climbed the stairs to the side of the sanctuary door. Passing through the second floor of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the trio continued their climb to Mount Golgotha. That mountain is where Jesus died crucified and is a holy place in Christianity. The three of them went up not for sightseeing, but to stand on a higher ground and observe the terrain of the area.
On the way, Long Bing took another look at his handbag, then frowned and said, "The compass points to the Holy Hall where we came out just now, and most of the things are under the Holy Hall. ”
"Are the hands still shaking?" asked Tang Yuyan.
Long Bing shook his head, "No, it's still." ”
"This means that the thing is indeed in the underground of the Holy Hall, what should I do?" Tang Yuyan also frowned.
Long Bing touched Xia Lei with his elbow, "You speak, do you have any way?"
Xia Lei said: "There is no way for the time being, if it is really buried under that marble, no one can dig it up." ”
"I don't know who buried it. Tang Yuyan said with some annoyance: "He buried things under that piece of marble, I'm afraid that no one dares to dig it, right?"
Long Bing also said: "If that guy is still alive, I will definitely beat him up severely, what trouble he has caused us!"
Xia Lei didn't speak, but the conversation between Tang Yuyan and Long Bing touched his mind.
"The necklace I gave to Tenyin is from the Kingdom of Jerusalem period, but it ended up in Princess Yongmei's jade coffin. The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, where Princess Yongmei lived, have a history difference of two hundred years, and the two certainly have no overlap. Princess Yongmei's mission is to use the compass to find treasures, and has she ever been to Jerusalem?" said Charleigh's mind, "Wait...... I forgot a very important clue! The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was founded by Emperor Constantine in 335 A.D., it is much older than the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Ming Dynasty, and after that, who could have buried something under the stone slab where Jesus had laid his body? So, it must have been buried before 335 A.D.!"
With this combing, Xia Lei seemed to have touched something. It's an inspiration, like the feeling a writer has before he puts pen to paper. It's hazy, but if you follow this inspiration, you'll definitely get something.
"The compass to find the feeling is something from the Ming Dynasty, but the ancient alloy is not something from the Ming Dynasty. Princess Yongmei went to Afghanistan in search of the ancient alloy and got a piece of ancient alloy, and she even got the necklace of Princess Sibella of the Kingdom of Jerusalem...... "Xia Lei's mind remained active," but she died, and the body that Chen placed in the jade coffin was very young. Could it be that her death is also related to the ancient alloy?"
This thought suddenly popped up, and Xia Lei himself was startled!
This was the first time he had guessed the cause of Princess Nagami's death.
"What are you thinking?" Long Bing's voice came, interrupting Xia Lei's thoughts.
"Of course I'm trying to figure out a solution to the problem. Xia Lei said.
Tang Yuyan said: "I'm thinking, if we need a long time, how can Professor Qin arrange for them? If they stay in the hotel all the time, there are too many people, and it will inevitably attract some people's attention." I think they should be allowed to stay at the embassy or return to their home countries. After a pause, she said again: "Xia Lei, do you think they can help if you keep them?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment and said, "I don't think we need them, let them go back to China directly." ”
Tang Yuyan nodded, "Okay, I'll let them return to China after I go back." ”
What Xia Lei had to do, whether it was looking for a treasure spot or digging for treasure, he didn't need Qin Changqing, Ma Li and the others. Especially digging treasures, with the danger of ancient alloys, he wouldn't even let Tang Yuyan and Long Bing participate, let alone those experts. Staying is a hidden danger, so it is better to let them return home as soon as possible.
Climb to the top of Mount Golgotha, and you can see the crucifixion of Jesus at a glance, where many Christians line up to touch the hole where the cross was erected. There were a lot of people, but they were silent, and the whole scene was solemn.
Charré did not walk over, but stood on a rock overlooking the Church of the Holy Sepulchre below, as well as the area around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. While observing these places, he came up with the "three-dimensional map" he had completed before, comparing them one by one and looking for clues.
Several Christians left the cross of Jesus and came this way.
In the crowd was a tall, long-legged young woman, of Chinese descent, with dyed blonde hair. Her figure is extremely sexy and eye-catching, especially a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in skinny jeans, which occupy two-thirds of her body, which is perfect.
The young woman saw Xia Lei standing on the rock, and her steps paused slightly.
It just so happened that Xia Lei also retracted his gaze and saw her.
The eyes of the two collided. Xia Lei froze slightly, while the woman avoided his gaze and buried her head in walking.
But at this moment, Xia Lei's gaze moved from her lap to her face, and his left eye jumped slightly. Then, suddenly, his expression changed.
This woman is none other than Liang Siyao.
Liang Siyao's most beautiful thing is her legs, and it was her beautiful legs that attracted his attention just now. He knew everything about her, and he didn't know how many times he had touched those legs, and there was an indescribable familiarity. It was under the impetus of this familiarity that he glanced at her face and found traces of disguise. Then, his gaze penetrated the camouflaged human skin mask and saw her face.
The process was over in almost two or three seconds, but he was overwhelmed by the result.
"How could she be in Jerusalem?" said the question that crossed Charley's mind.
Liang Siyao didn't stop, and gradually walked away from the group of Christians. She didn't look back, but she had the same doubt in her heart, "That person, obviously a stranger, but why do I feel so familiar and familiar? His height, why is his body shape so similar to his?"
Charley can make beautiful human skins and masks that make his face look like someone else's, but he can't change his height or change his body shape. However, Liang Siyao does not have Xia Lei's ability, although she is familiar with his body, she can't see his real face.
When she walked forward for about ten meters, Liang Siyao glanced back. She noticed that the strange man was still looking at her, his eyes burning. Her gaze shifted to the two women standing beside the man, and the size of one of them gave her a very familiar feeling. At this moment, she seemed to think of something that made her shake.
Long Bing's gaze also fell on Liang Siyao's body, his eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.
Liang Siyao turned around, quickened her pace, and never looked back.
"That woman ......" Long Bing said, "Why do I think she looks like a person?"
Xia Lei said, "Like whom?"
Long Bing shook his head again, "I'm not sure, forget it." She changed the subject, "Did you find anything?"
Xia Lei tried to drive Liang Siyao away from his mind, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "I have a hunch that the place we are looking for is at the bottom of this mountain. ”
Tang Yuyan interjected and said, "Isn't it more difficult to dig under this mountain than in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "No, it's probably much easier than you think. ”
Long Bing and Tang Yuyan looked at Xia Lei together, and spoke up almost at the same time, "What do you mean?"
Xia Lei said: "Let's go back, I need a set of tunnel exploration equipment, rubber suits and oxygen cylinders, searchlights or something, get them ready for me as soon as possible." ”
Tang Yuyan and Long Bing glanced at each other, but the eyes of the two women were equally confused.
