919.Grandpa's Relic (4/10)
Cabot asked Qin Shiou when he came to Canada, and he said that he had come the year before last, and after hearing this, Cabot laughed and said, "It seems that you are different from your grandfather, he is full of reverence and devotion to God......
As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, kid, I'm used to preaching." In short, your grandfather was a wonderful man, he was a righteous man sent by God to walk on earth, I am proud to have met him, and I believe that you are such a kind person. ”
Qin Shiou thanked him, but in fact, he couldn't say anything about faith.
After experiencing the heart of the sea god, Qin Shiou believed that God, Buddha, and Allah Allah were not necessarily nothing, perhaps in a certain era on the earth, they did come, just like the legend of the sea god.
Legend has it that the god of the sea controls the waves of the seven seas and commands all things in the sea, if his heart is strong enough, can't he also do these things of the god of the sea? Riding a dolphin, he can do the same.
Now Qin Shiou is not the materialist young man he was in college, he has faith, and faith is the heart of the sea god and all things in the ocean.
Cabot changed the subject, did not continue to discuss the topic of faith with him, and after learning that Qin Shiou was entering the church for the first time, he took the initiative to take Qin Shiou to visit it, and told him that his second grandfather had practiced here for a while, and there was his room here.
Qin Shiou first visited the Cathedral Museum, which can also be said to be the Bishop's Palace, located on the left side of the church, open to visitors on Mondays and Fridays every week, with a large number of ancient scrolls, a collection of ancient vestments, holy relics and other cultural relics.
Cabot introduced these things to Qin Shiou. In particular, a thick book is introduced: "This is a unique Bible in the world, which has appeared since 1861 A.D. to the present day. It has been very well preserved and comes from Dublin. Gaelic is used. ”
At the end of the Episcopal Palace there is a marble statue called 'The Veiled Virgin Mary', created by Strazza, the most famous Canadian sculptor of the nineteenth century, in the nineteenth and fiftieth century.
After the visit, Cabot took Qin Shiou to a room in the backyard and cleaned it very clean. Normally, it is supposed to be a place for practitioners to stay, but now there are a few children living in ordinary clothes, and Cabot said that many people in the city are driven away by the snow and have nowhere to go, and the church accommodates some people.
"But I'm not bringing you here to show you what we've done, but to show you that this is where your second grandfather once lived, and he practiced here for a year. At that time, he seemed to be experiencing some confusion, but then he suddenly became enlightened after practicing here. Cabot said.
Qin Shiou walked in. A spacious house, of the ordinary kind, with only a large bed, a desk, and a few chairs, but after he entered. But his heart was shaken because he saw a half-metre-high crucifix on the bedside table, and the statue exuded an unbearable attraction to him!
"Grass!" Qin Shiou scolded in a low voice. His heart began to **, and his eyes were almost red. He could feel the material of the statue. It must be the mysterious 'ambergris'!
However, Qin Shiou couldn't go over to absorb the energy, so he could only try to control himself from looking at the statue, and asked casually, "Did my second grandfather live here at that time?" Did he have that statue when he was there? ”
Cabot gave him a strange look and asked, "Why are you asking about the statue of Jesus?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled reluctantly and said, "I asked casually, because there was nothing special in the room." ”
He himself thinks this reason is nonsense, can the statue of Jesus be considered a special thing for the church?
Cabot didn't take it seriously, he went over and stared at the statue of Jesus, and said, "Actually, it was carved by Ade's own hands, and I think you noticed him, maybe it has something to do with your blood relationship." ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little surprised, this statue was carved by the second grandfather beast? Then he should also have the heart of the sea god, right? Why don't you absorb the Poseidon energy in it? He felt that the sea god energy in this statue was more than he had obtained at the Hazo Shrine in Japan!
Cabot wiped the statue of Jesus clean, picked it up and handed it to Qin Shiou and said, "I think you should need him, right?" ”
Qin Shiou's face changed a little, what did the old priest mean by this? Does he know some news about the heart of the sea god?
While he was thinking about it, Cabot said, "When your grandfather left, he said that someone might come and want to get this statue in the future, and he told me not to give it to me if I didn't think it was a righteous man." If there is a righteous man then, I will give him the image. ”
The old priest didn't say much, he and Qin Hongde were acquaintances, and he was seventy or eighty years old, Qin Shiou felt that he was well-informed, and he might have guessed about the heart of the sea god or something like that, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself directly if he needed it.
But he still couldn't stand the temptation of the sea god's energy, so he asked tentatively, "Do you think I am a righteous person?" ”
He thought it was.
The old priest laughed and said, "You're a good man, a good boy, that's enough, isn't it?" Come, get this idol back, it's what your grandfather left behind, and he belongs to you. ”
Qin Shiou took the statue, and the old priest said: "Then let's go to the auction next, it should start soon, if you still have time, I will introduce you to a few good people, they are all worthy of your friendship." ”
But how could Qin Shiou be in the mood to meet anyone? After Cabot took him back to the church, he really introduced him to some people, Qin Shiou put on a very low posture, but his mind was completely attracted by the statue in his arms, and he didn't remember the identities of these people very much.
Someone came to Cabot in the back and said that the auction was about to start, Qin Shiou remembered that his auction item had not been taken out yet, so he quickly took out the prepared jewelry box and said to the old priest: "Mr. Bishop, this is the auction item I prepared, I forgot to send it just now, and now I have to trouble you." ”
Seeing the seven dazzling black pearls, Cabot showed a slight look of surprise, and then the smile on his face became even stronger, and he nodded appreciatively: "You are indeed the same as Ade, you are a wonderful good person, God will bless you, child." ”
Qin Shiou thanked him, found a random place and sat down, fidgeting and waiting restlessly to see how he could absorb the energy in the statue and not be known. (To be continued......)
