Chapter 317: Baptism, Ascending to the Top

Lu Yao was pondering, if he studied that blue light thoroughly in the future, he could imitate a nail nail, and then refine that green light into a nail nail, it was very likely that he could also have a magic weapon, and at the very least, it was also a spiritual weapon.

In order to thank Lu Yao for his great contribution to the cathedral, an archbishop and two bishops of the Duomo of Milan jointly baptized Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi and Xin Xinyu.

This is unimaginable for European believers, and it is impossible to ask a bishop to baptize his children, let alone three bishops.

If Xiao Chen and the three of them lived in Europe and learned that they were baptized by the three bishops of the Milan Cathedral, they would have an extra talisman on their bodies.

With Father York, since they promised to baptize Xiao Chen and their three children, they were destined not to be the ordinary form of baptism, but to become their godfather.

Su Jingya's concept of godfather is deeper than Lu Yao's, but she and Lu Yao are both atheists, do not believe in religion, and have a dispensable attitude towards whether their children are baptized.

Lu Yao thought that even if they were baptized, the three children would still follow their own lives, and they would still teach what they should be taught, and they would not be easily brainwashed by religion.

Receiving baptism is nothing more than giving yourself an extra layer of protection in the future, so why not?

Xiao Chen, Xiao Xi and Xinyu were baptized in the baptistery, and Lu Yao, in order not to disturb the lives of the three of them in the future, asked Father York to temporarily close the baptismal hall during the baptism.

At the same time, the reopening of the church where I was just now has been delayed for more than an hour because of myself, and it is not good if it continues to be delayed.

By the time the three children had completed their baptismal rites, they had officially added a godfather, and although they didn't know what that meant, it didn't stop them from being happy.

Father York and the other three bishops obviously valued Xiao Chen and Xinyu very much, and gave them the pendants that he had carried with him for decades.

Each pendant contains a powerful amount of holy light energy, which is often worn on the body, so that children can be protected from the evil things, and the talisman they carry is similar to the jade talisman they carry.

Lu Yao carefully put away their pendants, and then Father York took them to lunch together, and then visited the cathedral in the afternoon.

Lunch is very simple, no different from ordinary people, after lunch, sit down and rest, still by Father York to take them to continue to visit the cathedral.

The magnificent church is full of beautiful statues and colorful glass window paintings, which tell vivid stories for hundreds of years.

In Father York's mouth, one can't help but immerse oneself in it.

Father York led Lu Yao and the others to a stairwell with a straight corner tower, and said to everyone with a smile: "The most beautiful part of the cathedral is on the ceiling of the church, which is called the 'Milan Crown'. ”

Lu Yao glanced up, the stairwell was narrow and quiet, and only one person could be allowed to pass through.

The stairs spiraled around the stone wall, and when I looked up, I saw a spiral staircase pressed by black pressure, and there was no end in sight.

Lu Yao asked, "Father York, how many steps are there in total?"

Father York smiled and said, "Nine hundred and twenty steps, can you keep climbing up?"

Lu Yao smiled and said nothing, Su Jingya glanced at Xiao Xi and Xiao Chen, and asked, "Baby, the priest asked if you can insist on climbing up?"

The two little ones nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "Yes!"

Although they are only less than four years old, they have been eating food containing spiritual energy every day at home recently, and their physical fitness is better than that of seven or eight-year-old children.

Lu Yao originally thought that they would cry out and be tired when they held on to a third of the position at most, but who knew that they actually climbed five hundred steps, and they didn't have the strength until they were close to more than half of them.

Lu Yao was very satisfied with this, and then climbed up with one in one hand, and was careful that Yu did not shout bitterness or tiredness during the whole process.

Perhaps this little bit of suffering was nothing compared to what she had suffered before.

Exiting the stone door of the stairwell, you are lost in a jungle of minarets and statues, and according to Father York, there are 135 Gothic marble spires on top of the church.

The roofs connecting the minarets are covered with one hundred and fifty aqueducts and four hundred and ten marble supports, all of which are also decorated with elaborate reliefs.

Each minaret is topped by a statue, and each statue is very different. All the minarets point to the sky, and they are uniform, so that the entire zenith is transformed into a sense of rising, like a suspended "city in the sky".

Lu Yao saw the statue of the Virgin Mary on the central tower at a glance, according to Father York, this statue is 4.2 meters high, a gilded bronze statue, the Virgin is wrapped in more than 3,900 gold leaves, weighs more than 700 kilograms, and stands in mid-air with dazzling brilliance.

Standing on the zenith observation deck, the view suddenly opens up, and through the spires on both sides of the platform, you can see the whole of Milan cityscape.

It's just a pity that Lu Yao and the others arrived at the zenith, it was already dusk, and they could only vaguely see the Alps stretching to the Matterhorn in the distance.

Although Lu Yao couldn't see the scenery in the distance clearly, he was attracted by the charming scenery in front of him.

With the ups and downs of the light and shade of the sky, the crimson on the zenith turns into a soft purple, with the early lights of the nearby city and the faint sunset on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, making the whole zenith a top-notch artistic feast, uncarved, graceful and natural.

"It's so beautiful!" Su Jingya couldn't help but exclaim, "This trip to Milan is really worth it." ”

Lu Yao smiled and said: "Wife, there are many beautiful places in the world, one day, I will take you to all of them." ”

Just when Su Jingya was greatly moved by Lu Yao's words, she suddenly heard Xiao Chen asking, "Mom, why are those stones white and gray in color? ”

Su Jingya looked in the direction of Xiao Chen's finger, and sure enough, as he said, some of the stones were pure white, and at the same time, many of them were dull gray, and the color was very obvious.

She asked Father York, and after getting the answer, she repeated it to Xiao Chen:

"Baby, the reason why they are different colors is because the white stone has just been renovated for a long time, while the gray stone has been around for a long time. ”

Lu Yao also found the interesting phenomenon of the Milan Cathedral, which can clearly see the traces left by time on this building. The age of the stone is recognizable by its color, and the cathedral has undergone transformation over time.
