Chapter 29: The Vitruvian Man

Seeing Govin go to the bookshelf to flip through the books, Encore suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit, she turned her head to look at Nicole, and asked, "Nicole, I finished reading all the books I borrowed a few days ago, can I borrow a few more?" ”

Nicole was in a good mood, nodded a little lazily when she heard this, waved her hand and said, "No problem, just go and get any books you like." ”

"Thank you!" Encore thanked him and got up to leave the sand to choose a book in front of the bookshelf.

Although Nicole is a foreign teacher at Fudan University, and her salary is several times that of Chinese teachers at Fudan University, the place where she lives is similar to the house where the domestic teachers live, so Encore and Nicole heard all the words of Gowen. The position in front of the bookshelf was cramped, so he took out an English version of "Catch-22" from the bookshelf, and returned to the sand in the living room. As he walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Encore, Govin gave Encore a friendly look, and then a hint of blush flashed across Encore's face.

A shy girl! One such thought crossed Gowen's mind, and he sat down on the sand. Nicole, on the other side, was looking up at the book she was holding in her hand, so that her body was tilted into a thrilling angle, and the clothes on her body were even more oppressive to her plump body.

Noticing this scene, Govin's heart was low for a while, his eyes were hot, and he felt very amused. So he deliberately opened the book, gave the cover to Nicole, and then began to concentrate on reading this rebellious book that could break through the encirclement and suppression of Chinese customs and appear on the shelves.

It was almost dusk, and the sunlight began to become warm, and through the bright windows, the sunlight shone on the people and furniture in the room, and it was peaceful.

"Yikes!" A hurried and surprised voice suddenly broke the quiet scene, and Govin and Nicole turned their heads to look, only to see Encore flipping through a book with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, and his face was full of surprise.

Govin and Nicole looked at each other, then Nicole snorted, got up a few steps from the sand and walked to Encore's side, and asked at the same time, "Encore, what's wrong?" Are you okay? ”

An Ke closed the book in his hand in a little panic, and said in a mouthful: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Nicole frowned when she saw Encore's appearance, and she took the book from Encore's hand and glanced at the cover, which was a book about Western painters. Nicole glanced at Encore with some suspicion, and then, as if thinking of something, opened the book and quickly browsed it. The appearance of Encore yΓΉ beside him is extremely pitiful.

When the not-so-thick book reached the middle page, Nicole suddenly paused. Then she stared at the netbsp in the book; Govin kept an eye on the situation, and then received Encore's eyes for help. Confused, he stood up and walked over.

Immediately, the page of the book in Nicole's hand came into Gowen's eyes, and Gowen couldn't help but let out a cold sigh - the cha painting on the page of the book that Nicole was looking at motionless was Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "The Last Supper"! What makes it even more troublesome is that this cha painting turns out to be a part of the Last Supper that depicts Christ and Saint John.

Nainai's, I'm really afraid of what's coming! Throughout the ages, anyone who is full of confidence in themselves has a very tragic character, that is, they are too confident and overestimate their abilities, which often makes them get into the horns of the bull, and finally bring them a blow to ruin, even if it is an NV person. Nicole in front of him was exactly that, and Govine, who squinted his eyes, noticed that Nicole's gaze was staring at the demeanor of Saint John in the cha painting.

Hopefully you won't take it too seriously! I'm still counting on you to take Brother Xiao in the future! Govyn's heart began to pray, and at this moment, he had never believed in ghosts and gods, and he had a little hope that there were real gods in this world.

Nicole slowly raised her head, and then looked into Govine's eyes, which contained the inquiry and questioning that Govin almost couldn't help but turn his head away.

"You just said John was an NV guy?! Is there any evidence other than Leonardo da Vinci's painting? There was doubt in Nicole's words, and there was a hint of exhaustion, which made people still want to take care of her in her arms after listening to it.

This question is so critical that Encore next to him can't help but prick up his ears, for fear of missing any of Gowen's words.

"Hehe, I've said it all, I was just joking, Nicole, why should you be serious!" Govin snorted.

Nicole shook her head, pointed to the book in her hand, and said calmly, "If you didn't say anything just now, then I wouldn't care about anything at all." But you have said it, and there is this picture to bear witness, so even if it is a joke, I must be clear about it, or I will not be able to be as devout to the Lord as I used to be. for I have been shaken, and am no longer the most devout believer in the Lord......"

Govin sighed and nodded helplessly, Nicole's reaction had long been expected by him, the more highly educated people like Nicole, the easier it was to drill into some problems.

Govin motioned for everyone to go back to the sand and sit down, then he picked up the water cup on the coffee table, took a sip slowly, and then sank for a while, and said: "As one of the representatives of the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci can be said to be a genius, he not only has outstanding achievements in painting and sculpture, but also has advanced research in astronomy, physics, medicine, architecture, military, water conservancy, and geology. It is precisely because he is so versatile that there are often some wonderful connotations hidden in his paintings. ”

For example, in Vitruvian Man, a sturdy middle-aged man with a 1uo body is depicted, with his arms slightly raised diagonally upwards and two tuǐ forked, with his head, feet, and fingers as the endpoints, just outside a circle. At the same time, we can clearly see another image superimposed on top of each other: a man standing with his arms stretched out, with his head, feet, and fingers as the endpoints, just outside a square. ”

"Everyone knows that Vitruvian Man is the best proportion that Leonardo da Vinci wanted to draw the human body, that is, the golden section!" Nicole interrupted Govyn impatiently, "I don't want to hear you say that! ”

"Isn't it?" Govin asked rhetorically, then dipped a little water from the glass with his right finger and drew a five-pointed star on the coffee table, before he continued, "You know what this is, right?" ”

"Pentagram." encorenetbsp; "Yes, it's a pentagram. Any line segment of the pentagram will automatically cut itself into segments according to the ratio of the golden section. In the Middle Ages and beyond, the pentagram was known as the pentagram, a sacred and magical symbol that was always used as a symbol of beauty and perfection, and was associated with the god NV and the sacred NVXÌNG. And Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man", if it is depicted with symbols, can be represented by a five-pointed star. So ......"

Govin stretched out his voice and slowly said his conclusion: "So, what the Vitruvian Man says is just that Leonardo da Vinci is saying in an ancient way that he is a faithful believer in the NV God, and he has always believed in the NV God!" ”

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Nicole and Encore screamed in surprise at the same time, and Gowen's words were simply fantastical, and they had a strong feeling that this was nonsense!
