The Christian tradition of sacred relics has a long history. Throughout history, countless people have been obsessed with sacred relics, and have devoted a lot of manpower and material resources to seek them, hoping to use them to endorse their own authority and their own ideas, and hope to obtain all kinds of divine powers from them, such as immortality and resurrection.

In modern times, because of the overwhelming propaganda of the entertainment media, especially thanks to Hollywood, the world's number one propaganda tool, even many people who know nothing about Christianity have unknowingly learned about the Christian tradition of sacred relics.

For example, in Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Dr. Indiana Jones, played by Harry Sunford, walks around the world with a whip, battles with the Nazis, and searches for the legendary Ark of the Covenant for the U.S. government.

Legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant was a chest made of gold and acacia wood under God's direction, and contained two tablets of the Ten Commandments, which were the only contracts left by God with the Israelites. Anyone who touched the Ark of the Covenant would die instantly.

Another example is Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, where Professor Robert Langdon reinterprets the Holy Grail with his serious nonsense. Interpret it from a real cup to a descendant of Jesus and Magdalene.

The traditional chalice refers to the cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper, and is said to drink from this cup for immortality.

Other well-known ones are the shrouds that are said to have once wrapped the body of Jesus Christ, and there are about 40 around the world.

The fragments of Jesus' martyrdom cross are real or fake, and the whole world of these fragments may add up to build a house.

And the holy object I am looking for, its sacredness does not come from gods and saints, nor from legends, it may be the only holy object whose sacredness comes from itself, it is the foundation of Christianity, it is the "canon of the Bible".

To understand the importance of the Bible to Christianity and the meaning of "canon," we must begin with Judaism, the predecessor of Christianity.

Judaism differed from many other religions in the Roman Empire in two important ways:

On the one hand, the other religions in the Roman Empire at that time were polytheistic, and they believed in worshipping various gods and built various temples for them. Judaism, on the other hand, is a monotheistic belief in which they obey only one God.

On both fronts, the polytheistic beliefs of the time did not advocate learning doctrines and norms from books, and they worshipped the gods almost exclusively through rituals and sacrifices. Judaism, on the other hand, emphasizes ancestral traditions, customs, and laws, which are recorded in sacred books. The most important of these, which is considered canonical, is the current Hebrew Bible, the first half of the Christian Bible, the Old Testament.

Christianity was born out of Judaism and inherited this ancient tradition, which from the beginning was a religion of the scriptures, and they regarded the sacred scriptures as the source of divine authority.

And the reason why I say that the canon is sacred comes from itself because it is not a divine text that is immaculate and cannot be changed word for word.

If you were as knowledgeable as I am in Greek, Latin, Syriac, and Coptic, it would be easy to find countless differences in the many manuscripts of the Bible, and in the New Testament alone, there can be tens of thousands of differences between the different manuscripts.

So the Bible is actually an evolving, absorbing text that stabilized over the centuries after Jesus' martyrdom, but in fact continues to this day.

It is an interesting perspective to study history by examining the changes in the manuscripts of the Bible and sorting out their context.

Speaking of the canon, as the world's most widely circulated book, you can call the Bible you have in your hand canon from a linguistic point of view, or it can be said to refer to all the Bibles as a concept.

And what I mean by "canon" refers to the concept between the virtual and the real that all believers believe in in their hearts, which is not only an illusory concept, but also a condensation point of all believers' beliefs, converging the infinite divine power of real existence.

This power is scattered and may reside in any Bible. And the last time a materialized "canon" can be assured was in Constantinople.

Since Constantine the Great founded Constantinople in 330 AD, the bishops of the city have gradually gained supreme authority second only to the pope under the support of the royal power. He was later called "Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch".

The relationship between the struggle between theocracy and theocracy, and the confrontation between theocracy and kingship, is very worth considering.

I was incredibly unbelievable in that Taoist literature to decipher the clues about the "canon". It was at the beginning of the eighth century A.D., and the texts were extremely ingeniously concealed from Constantinople, Nestorianism, the devil, the canon, and so on.

By the way, by the way, I would like to mention Jingjiao, please don't dislike my verbosity. Nestorian Nestorian was the Patriarch of Constantinople. Although he was soon branded as a heretic for advocating the separation of man and God from Jesus and the deprivation of the divinity of the Virgin Mary, he ended up in exile and died in Egypt.

However, it should be noted that Nestorian Christianity was the first Christian sect to enter China, and it was already in China in the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Until the destruction of Buddha by Wuzong, the development during this period has achieved some results.

If what those Taoist texts say is true, combined with my past research, I have reason to believe that the materialized "canon" once appeared in China during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty through some hidden channel. Following this line of thought, I have the potential to become the closest person in the world to the "canon".

I've read most of the literature. Only "the devil", I can't understand the exact meaning of it, is it a code, or is it some kind of pronoun, or is there really a literal devil? I'm sure this will be the key to revealing the "canon" trail. I came to Istanbul to find out this secret.

Thanks to those connections, I am about to be granted access to the library that exists only in the legendary Mohammed II. I'm sure I can compare the literature and find the clues I'm looking for. Of course, finding what I was looking for in the vast collection of books was a long and extremely hard work. I already have a clue, but I probably won't get anything for the rest of my life.

However, my child, it may be difficult for you to understand that I am not seeking the "canon" for the sake of faith, nor for the sake of the great divine power, but for me, the work itself is enough to make my blood boil.

Don't blame me, child, because curiosity is the ultimate human desire that is difficult to resist compared to sex, appetite, etc. I am its slave, and I can't turn back.
