PS: I'm tired, take a break, two shifts today, everyone forgive me for asking for a monthly pass, support more, and give some motivation.

The two old men seem to be arguing, but in fact they are each expressing their own opinions and corroborating each other.

The so-called truth becomes clearer and clearer the more it is debated, and only in the collision of ideas can the spark of wisdom be sparked. After listening to two sentences, Director Jiang couldn't help but interject: "And the thing is just a legend, whether it is still unknown whether it is or not." ”

"This is also ......," Zhou Lao muttered, "but the legend may not be false, it may also be true." After all, Wang Guan has collected a lot of legendary things. ”

While speaking, Zhou Lao said with interest: "Wang Guan, you brought the things back, what do you think?" ”

"I don't even know what you're talking about, what you can think." Wang Guan had an innocent expression on his face, and he looked very confused: "I don't know what the details of the thing are, and I don't know what to say if I want to." ”

"Play dumb."

Zhou Lao squinted, he definitely wouldn't believe it, and asked in turn: "Tell me, where did you get the things?" Didn't you go to England, if you found it in England, it is somewhat consistent with the legend. ”

"That's right, I got it in England, in a treasure trove of nobles......," Wang said, explaining the origin of the things clearly, focusing on the thousand-year history of Mr. Hill's family, as well as the legends that have been passed down from the family.

“…… The splendor of the Lord is eternal! ”

At the right time, Zhou Lao's eyebrows showed a look of surprise: "It's not like a prophecy, but like a hidden word." The remains of ascetics, a thousand-year-old family inheritance, are a bit reliable. ”

"I can't say 100% sure, but something must be inextricably linked to the legendary Holy Grail, perhaps the cup that Jesus used in the Last Supper, or the cup that received His blood."

At this time, Zhou Lao finally made his words clear. I think it is very likely that it is the holy relic of the Western Holy See, the Holy Grail.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, not daring to take this stubble easily. Mainly, there are too many records about the Holy Grail, some say that the Holy Grail is the Holy Communion Cup, some say that the Holy Grail is a stone, some say that the Holy Grail is a plate, and some say that the Holy Grail is a metaphor. For 2,000 years, there has been no definite and unanimous view of such legends.

The most traditional view, however, was at the time of Jesus' crucifixion. Someone used a cup to hold his blood, and that cup was naturally the Holy Grail. Therefore, when the Church in the West celebrates the Eucharist, it is customary to drink wine from the cup of the Lord, indicating that it is drinking the Holy Blood of the Lord......

In addition, in the disturbing legends, there are also descriptions of the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. Legend has it that after Jesus' death, the church was severely attacked by the Romans, and a man named Joseph brought the Holy Grail to England. Since then, the whereabouts of the Holy Grail have been a mystery.

Later, in many legends in various European countries. There are accounts of the Holy Grail in the present world. The problem is that most of these accounts are fictional fiction and are not credible, and no one has ever seen the real Holy Grail anyway.

"An attached chapel in the Cathedral of Valencia, Spain, houses a cup that is said to be the Holy Grail."

Meanwhile. Curator Jiang suddenly said: "However, the Holy See has never revered it as a holy relic, and its origin is also a little doubtful, making people unsure whether it is the real Holy Grail. I've seen that cup, it's made of gold. Twenty-eight pearls, two rubies and two emeralds are set on a solid gold setting. ”

"After some expert research, it was determined that the cup was probably made by a goldsmith from Byzantium, and that it was made around the first century AD. It happened to be the time in which Jesus lived. ”

Speaking of this, Director Jiang hesitated and said, "Generally speaking, the Holy Grail is either gold, no matter how bad it is, it is silver, but this cup seems to be made of stone, which is a little different from the legend. ”

"Normal, since it's a legend, there must be a bit of a discrepancy." Zhou Lao said disapprerovingly: "When you are not sure about the appearance of the true Holy Grail, everything is possible, and the main thing is to come up with convincing evidence. ”

"That's right, hard evidence is key." Qian Lao agreed: "Without evidence, no matter what you say, it will be in vain." ”

"Is the inscription considered evidence?" Wang Guan asked, which can be regarded as a reminder.

"The inscription is right."

At this time, Director Jiang nodded and said, "This inscription is also found in the Holy Grail of Spanish churches, which is said to be an Arabic inscription, but no one can translate it accurately. Some people think it's a gift to someone who brings glory, some people think it's the Lord of mercy, the Lord of prosperity, and so on, and there are many different translations anyway......"

"The inscription doesn't work, it's only the cup itself to find evidence."

At the right time, Wang Guan pondered: "Or return to the original question, is the material of the cup really stone?" ”

"If it's not a stone, what else could it be?"

Zhou Lao wasn't questioning, he just felt confused.

"I was trying to ask, is it really made of ordinary stone?" Wang Guan smiled: "After all, you have also seen it, the material of the cup must be different from ordinary stones." ”

"After all, it's a foreign stone, and it's understandable that there are some differences."

Having said that, Zhou Lao still said thoughtfully: "It's just that you are right, the material is indeed a direction worth studying." Let's go back and take my things to the lab and do a full test. ”

"No problem." Wang Guan readily agreed.

The excitement slowly cooled down, and everyone regained their sanity and slowly studied the cup. From the shape of the cup to the carving and polishing process, they are all carefully studied, but there are arguments.

However, there is one thing that everyone agrees that the cup is indeed very old, not a modern thing.

"Huh."

At this moment, Zhou Lao was surprised: "Look, there seems to be some residual substance in the cup. ”

"What?"

Everyone came closer to take a look, and through the expansion of the high-powered magnifying glass, everyone also saw the situation in the cup clearly. I saw that there was indeed a layer of dark red substance at the bottom of the cup. It looks like the stains left over after a lot of use.

"Is it wine?"

At this time, Zhou Lao reached in slightly and touched it, felt it carefully, but frowned and said, "It's really a little rough, but it doesn't feel like a stain......"

"Wang Guan, bring some water."

At the same time, Zhou Lao signaled: "Clean the bottom of the cup." See if you can clean the stains. ”

"It may be dust that has been hidden for a long time." Wang Guan said casually, but according to Zhou Lao's instructions, he took the water over and dripped a little into the cup. After that, I found a small brush similar to a brush and stirred it slightly in the cup to see if it could clean the dirt stains in the cup.

After a while, Wang Guan stopped his movements, pulled up the small brush, and looked down at the situation in the cup by the way. At this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Ahh

Looking down, Wang Guan was stunned. And not only him. A few people next to him looked at it and were also very stunned.

"Wang Guan, what's going on?"

After half a ring, everyone reacted, and looked at the small brush in Wang Guan's hand in shock, only to see that the soft brush seemed to be stained with bright red blood. At this moment, the viscous blood is slowly dripping down, and the bloody appearance makes people a little stunned when they see it.

“…… Cup, cup! ”

Let's be honest. Suddenly seeing this situation, Wang Guan also felt a feeling of weakness in his heart, and there seemed to be a cool air hovering up the backbone behind him, making him almost throw the small brush out. Fortunately, at the critical moment. He still withstood the test, and with a strong and fearless faith, he finally overcame his fears......

"Stop boasting."

At this time, Zhou Lao was shocked and said, "Is this the stain in the cup?" ”

"It should be." Wang Guan also calmed down. I lifted the small brush and looked at it carefully, and sniffed it lightly, but I didn't smell anything. Obviously, the red liquid is just a façade.

"Something doesn't seem right."

Feeling that things had taken a turn for the better, Zhou Lao's face was also a little more excited, and he immediately picked up the cup and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that the water in the cup had completely changed its appearance. The water, which was originally clear and transparent, turned into a bright red color at this time, and there was no difference between it and blood.

Of course, there is no difference in color, but the smell is not as strong as real blood. Otherwise, whoever sees it will mistakenly think that the cup contains blood.

"Ling Xi ......"

Zhou Lao's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately looked at Qian Lao: "The cup is weird." ”

"Hmm."

Qian Lao nodded lightly, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Pour out the liquid from the cup, and then pour in the water to see." ”

"Okay."

At this time, there was no need for Wang Guan to do it, Zhou Lao personally went out and poured the red liquid in the stone cup into another cup, and then poured a full cup of water into the stone cup.

For a moment, everyone was silent, looking intently at the water in the cup, as if waiting for a miracle to happen.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen seconds passed. The water in the cup did not move at all, and there was no abnormality at all.

Zhou Lao frowned slightly, and whispered to himself: "Do you want to stir?" ”

"Gollum ......"

Before Zhou Lao's words fell, at this moment, the clear water in the cup suddenly rippled. At first, it began to ripple with slight ripples, and then it simply rolled up the waves, rolled up the stormy waves, and finally boiled violently like boiling water.

In the midst of boiling, everyone can also see very clearly, the originally clear and transparent clear water slowly emerges a trace of red color, and then gradually expands, assimilating the clear water in an instant. Perhaps it is said that the transformation of all the water into a thick, viscous bright red liquid, like blood.

Seeing this, everyone was a little stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

The process of transformation seems to be very long, in fact, it is completed in a short period of tens of seconds, and then the boiling liquid gradually cools down and finally returns to calm. But the bright red, even oily liquid is so bizarre and weird that it's hard to ignore...... (To be continued......)
