Chapter 506: Ye Hexiu
It's a pity that the glorious and wonderful things will go with history, and the ancient Colosseum at this time only has some traces of dilapidation, and you can only see a little bit of the style of some former buildings. The Colosseum was open for a very short time, apparently not open at this time, and the whole Colosseum looked very quiet, as if it were a still picture. Suddenly, a rockery in a pile of rocks suddenly shook, and then the shaking became more and more violent, and then with the shaking of the rockery, a crack appeared on the rockery. Gradually, the cracks kept opening, and suddenly a palm stretched out from inside.
"Hmph, no wonder that group of saints were not all wiped out, I didn't think there would be such an exit here......"
With a nice and magnetic voice, a handsome man walked out of the crack. It's just that the man's custom suit, which looks like a lot of money, looks a little dirty, and the expression on his face also looks a little unhappy, coupled with the pale skin, it makes people feel a little cold all of a sudden. The man frowned and looked down at the sky, the afternoon sun was thick, and a ray of sunlight shone on his arm through the surrounding obscured stones. This sunlight seemed to have an extremely high temperature, and in an instant, the man's skin was directly emitted green smoke, just a few breaths, and his skin actually showed traces of burning!
“...... Looks like I still can't protect myself from the sun...... Hmph!"
The man underestimated indifferently, accompanied by his cold snort, a strange red flashed on his burned arm, just a breath of time, this burned skin had actually recovered as before! The man looked at his reconciled skin and was silent for a long time, his brows gradually wrinkled, such an exaggerated recovery speed, this man seemed to be not satisfied at all! Then he suddenly laughed, and the two sharp teeth under the corners of his mouth looked so terrifying:
"Hehe, it's okay, although the Divine Emperor's order is not to kill Qixu and Zhong Shao, but I'm happy to seriously injure them! As long as I get their blood, my strength will go to the next level! Hahaha, then my strength may reach the general level! Hahahahaha, Mo Li, Mo Li, will you still be my opponent when the time comes?!"
That's right, the handsome but slightly terrifying man in front of him, with a hideous expression and a hint of arrogance, is none other than the blood envoy Adolf Mozi codenamed C, no one knows what he is planning, and no one knows what he is thinking. However, their line of work will not be so smooth......
......
......
"I can't imagine that the things in this Vatican Museum are pretty good...... Boss, look at these things, they look like new. ”
Qixu and his entourage originally thought that there would be nothing in the Vatican Museums, but after entering, they were greatly surprised. The inside of the Vatican Museums is different from the outside, it has the atmosphere of an aristocratic palace, and as for the cultural relics on display inside, they are far more beautiful and beautiful than what they saw in Hongsheng City. The cultural relics on display are placed in the polished glass, and under the illumination of the searchlight, they look beautiful, as if those cultural relics are as if they are new.
"That's right. ”
Qixu nodded:
"The things here are completely different from the museum in Hongsheng City, and it is not a shame that it was once a royal palace restructure, which is indeed extraordinary. ”
"Well, boss, then you visit here, I'll go over there to have a look, sister-in-law, do you want to come along?"
"Okay, then I'll go too, Xiaoye, you can see it here. ”
"Well, there you go. ”
Ding Qi heard Zhong Shao say this, so he naturally went over to see it, after all, Zhong Shao's foreign language is not very good, but Ding Qi's convenience is an advantage, so naturally let Ding Qi pass, and Qixu will not be organized. As for Ma Cheng, since he came in, he has only led the following them for a short time, and he has disappeared. There is no one else, and Qi Xuan is also happy to be quiet. He walked all the way and looked all the way, and before he knew it, he had come to Raphael's studio.
For this Raphael, Qixu has also heard of it. Since he was going to come to the Vatican, he naturally had to look up some Vatican-related legends, which naturally involved the names of angels. However, this Raphael is not Raphael, one of the three archangels recorded in the Bible. He was the painter of the Renaissance who became one of the three masters of the Renaissance along with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Raphael is not only handsome, but also the youngest. During the 10 years that he founded Raphael's studio, he painted a large number of magnificent paintings in the Vatican.
"Hey, what kind of place is this?"
Qi Xuan walked while thinking, and suddenly walked into a small room unconsciously, he looked back, there was no one else around, and even the voices of Zhong Shao and Ding Qi before they couldn't hear it. Qi shook his head suspiciously, disappreciating, and continued to walk forward.
"Finally come out......"
This small room had a corridor, and it was pitch black all around, and it was difficult to see the surroundings even with Qi Xu's current eyesight, and he thought that he had been walking for a long time. He muttered a few words, and his eyes were immediately drawn to something in front of him. It was a painting, a very famous painting, which was Caravaggio's The Burial of Christ. This altarpiece was originally commissioned by the church of Santa Maria della Variciella. It depicts the tragic scene of the burial of Christ by John, Nicodemus, St. Mary and two women of Christ after his crucifixion:
The faint light illuminated only one large stone slab in the cave. Against a dark background, John and Nicodemus slowly lowered Jesus' naked body into the tomb. Behind her stood Mary, the mother of Jesus, and two female believers. The body of Jesus was illuminated by the light. The whole scene is like the burial of a fallen hero or soldier. The body of Jesus is painted strong and strong. His face also shows his resolute willpower. A face with a short black beard is very peaceful. The atmosphere is solemn, mournful and solemn.
The man in the picture who is naked and only covers his nakedness with a white cloth is Jesus, his muscles are very developed, and he looks lifelike, but his eyes are closed and one hand hangs down beside him, obviously dead. It is rumored that Caravaggio had seen Jesus during the night and had talked with Him about the possibility of being born again, so he came to help with the burial after Jesus was crucified. There are many similar stories all over the world, after all, in order to deepen people's impression of the work, it is always necessary to put some stories into it.
However, Qi Xu originally thought that this was just a story, but now he was a little surprised, just because this painting was obviously different from the one he knew. The reason why Qixu was attracted to this painting was because the painting was originally held by a man dressed as a peasant, surrounded by four other people. But in this "The Burial of Christ", the man holding Jesus, although he is dressed as a peasant, gives people a special feeling......
Qi Xuan frowned and stared at him carefully, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a look of sudden realization. Yes, this feeling is holy! This peasant man with Jesus in his arms, although he is wearing peasant clothes, has a completely different temperament, and even this temperament is more than the Jesus he is holding, which is obviously completely unreasonable. You know, in the Christian teachings, Jesus is unique, a being beyond mortals! But why is there a mortal breath in a painting that is even beyond Jesus!?
"Why are you surprised by this painting?"
Just when Qixu was surprised, a voice suddenly came out from behind Qixu, and in an instant, Qixu was covered in sweat and hair, and a piece of sweat was immediately left on his head. Just because a strong sense of oppression accompanied by this sentence also appeared around him, this sense of oppression directly made his body unable to move!
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of slight but firm footsteps slowly approached from behind Qixu, and a tall man gradually appeared in Qixu's field of vision. Qi Xuan looked at the man in front of him in surprise, this was a blonde man with blue eyes, his facial features were handsome and extraordinary, just like Prince Charming who came out of it. I saw him holding the cross hanging from his neck with one hand and the other behind his back.
"Why do you ...... Oh, sorry, it was my negligence. ”
The man raised his eyebrows, and as his words ended, the strong sense of oppression on Qi Xu's body disappeared without a trace. The sudden disappearance of the sense of oppression made Qi Xu's body a little unstable, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and looked at the man in front of him with a wary face.
"What the hell is going on, who are you?"
Judging from the clothes of this man who can create a sense of oppression for himself, he is obviously a clergyman, but what is the matter with that sense of oppression, isn't he an ordinary person?
"I'm sorry, ordinary people can't enter this room, so there are some surprises when I see you here, I hope you can understand. Are you here for a tour?"
The man glanced at Qi Xu, then bowed slightly, looking at him like this, Qi Xuan was just about to open his mouth to answer, suddenly his heart moved, and then Qi Xu's brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of unhappy expression:
"Nonsense, I'm not here for a tourist, am I here to join the Catholic Church? What the hell happened just now, all of a sudden I couldn't move, it was like I couldn't breathe, I almost died, why is the air here so bad! It's still a famous museum!"
"I'm sorry for the bad experience, I'll definitely report this matter truthfully......"
"Who are you and what are you doing? ”
Qi glanced at the man again impatiently.
"My name is Yehesiu, and I am a clergyman of the Holy See,"
......
