Chapter 280: Layers of Nets
The sentence came out of Jonas's mouth, Jonas quickly turned his head towards the door, the side door, and the back door, and after making sure that there was no one else in the entire hall except himself, he turned his head back to the sculpture and patted his chest, and the sentence just now was pronounced, if someone hears it~~
"With God? this is blasphemy..."
Jonas wiped the sweat of his head and soaked the entire cuffs, not to mention the era when religion is rampant in the world, even in the era of developed Internet technology, religious issues are also a sensitive issue in the West, he contains homosexuality, abortion, monogamy, the existence of God and many other basic concepts of human life, even Western politicians, in the face of this problem, are secretive, dare not face it directly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
That's enough to make people die and be scolded countless times by future generations.
God is with me, what can be with God? It can only be God.
In monotheism, he said that he was also a god, which one wrote it without a fate, no wonder this sculpture would be abandoned and buried in ashes in a place that no one knew, and wrote such insulting words to the gods, and it was placed in the papal hall of the Vatican, isn't that directly despising all Christians, thinking about it, Jonas also has to feel a little admiration for the person who dared to write this sentence.
It is inconceivable that such a subversive sentence could be left at the heart of the power of the Catholic world, and that it has survived for hundreds of years, to be able to do such a thing.
However, this sentence sounds a little bit of the Renaissance era. ”
Jonas touched his chin that didn't have long hair, when he first saw this sentence, Jonas was very nervous, after all, he didn't want to turn into a barbecue and put it on the shelf, but seeing that there was no one around him who would pass on what he said, Jonas immediately calmed down, who called this sentence for him, after removing the danger to his life, it was really right for his appetite.
Think about it, since it is God who can be with God, is Jonas a god when Jonas is looking at it now?
Of course not, as an ordinary person, at most one hundred and twenty years, his life will come to an end, but God will exist forever, even if the earth is destroyed and the universe collapses, he will continue to exist in the minds of another group of intelligent beings, and then change his name and continue to be his god.
And this sentence does not mean that everyone who sees this sentence is a god, but in God as a comparison, putting people in the same important position as God, obviously, it is very in line with the Renaissance, the revival of human nature, humanist ideas, these ideas compared to the feudal and backward theocratic thought, of course, will make Jonas more liked.
Who told Jonas to be taught from the bottom of his mind that theocracy should be subordinated to public power, to make him pretend to love the Lord on the surface, Jonas can also use acting skills to achieve it, but if he believes in the Lord from the bottom of his heart and loves the Lord, it is simply impossible.
There is only one religion he believes, and that is science.
Knowledge changes destiny, and science changes human beings.
"Renaissance? Wait, Michelangelo seemed to be a Renaissance man in his own time, right? Could it be that in this era, he also had this kind of thought?" Jonas was a little frightened by his own thoughts, but if he really followed the route he imagined in his mind now, the matter would be really complicated.
"An engraver with an Enlightenment mind, when he made a sculpture for the Pope, engraved this sentence on it without being discovered, and then after hundreds of years, it was discovered by one of them, and then, for unknown reasons, carved a pentagram around this line to make a mark, and this sign was discovered by the people of the Holy See, and the work was lost to Genaya, and has since disappeared from people's sight. “
"Then what was the reason for his engraving? Who was the person who engraved it? If the Holy See had discovered it, why didn't it just destroy it? And more importantly, if Michelangelo really had the so-called Enlightenment ideas, who brought it to him?"
"Hey, I can't figure it out. ”
Jonas grabbed his hair with his hands, trying so hard to find clues, hoping to get an answer, but this thing was like a huge ball of ripped yarn, untying a knot by himself, and then more knots waiting to be untied by himself.
Just the clue he got now, Jonas could come up with several answers after thinking about it repeatedly in his mind, and these answers, without a follow-up evidence to support him to get new clues, were all interrupted in the middle of the way.
Everything is a mystery, and what can we do to dismantle these mysteries?
Jonas slowly climbed down from his chair, he had already looked around the pentagram, and there was no more information for him to look for clues.
Back on the ground, Jonas was a little annoyed, he pondered for a long time, and thought about it for a long time, but in the end he was left with a lot of questions and more locks without keyholes, Jonas wailed straight in his heart, don't want to sleep tonight, I guess I want to think about it all night, thinking of this, Jonas really felt that he was a little nosy.
Putting the chair back in its place, as did the magnifying glass and the candlestick, Jonas was ready to go back to his bedroom and prepare to lie down first, as for whether he could sleep or not, he couldn't care, it was something that his brain could control, and as for himself, he couldn't control his brain's thinking at all.
Walking to the side door and opening it, Jonas was still a little reluctant to this sculpture in the end, but now most of the people in the palace have fallen asleep, and this sculpture, Jonas doesn't want too many people to know about his existence, if it is moved from the hall to his bedroom at night, the movement during the move will definitely be known to the whole palace by the next day, Jonas doesn't want to be talked about by others.
Especially after discovering so many evidence of ideas that are completely different from ordinary people in this era, Jonas doesn't want others to know, it turns out that he wants to not let others know that he went to church, and he also brought a gift back, for fear that others will talk about it, and now he has to keep it a secret, so Jonas can only look back and look at it again, and wait until tomorrow to continue to observe.
Looking at this "Mourning Christ" from a distance, Jonas felt that in addition to the incomparable beauty, a strange idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Where is God?
If you are with God, where is God?
When this question appeared in Jonas's mind, Jonas only felt goosebumps stand up all over his body, he ran forward frantically, and in a few seconds he returned to the side of the statue, carefully circled around several times, and quickly said to himself:
"What about God? There is only Mary and Jesus Christ, so where is God?!"
Jonas's voice was a little hoarse at the end, if the words next to the pentagram were really engraved on his own work by Michelangelo when he made this stone sculpture, as he had guessed, then he was just referring to a god who did not exist?
Jonas didn't think Michelangelo thought so, if all this was true, and Michelangelo really had the spirit of the Renaissance, then would he risk being burned at the stake just to engrave a blasphemous sentence in his work?
"He must be referring to something that really exists, otherwise he would have spent so much energy just to satisfy the desires of his heart, like those who graffiti on the streets, vent his grievances in the dark corners of his heart that no one knows?
"He is a person who dares to express his thoughts, he is a person who is not afraid of danger, and he is a person who does not abuse others at will in dark corners, and is proud of others who do not find out. ”
Jonas said firmly in his heart that although he had never seen Michelangelo himself, nor had he really seen it on TV or in movies, he had only seen the works he left behind, and what he had heard was only the old stories that gradually faded away over a long period of hundreds of years, but Jonas still chose to believe that Michelangelo, this hard-working old man, would not be a bad old man who was keen to abuse himself behind his back.
"So who is Michelangelo referring to, and who is God in his eyes?"
After pondering carefully for a while, Jonas shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what kind of person, or thing, or phenomenon, in the eyes of this master of art, was equivalent to God, but this time, Jonas didn't dwell on it anymore, but immediately thought of the next question.
"Where is God?"
This question is more important than who God is, as long as you find the abode of God in Michelangelo's eyes, then the thing that is regarded as God can also be known, thinking of this question, Jonas's brain immediately increased its horsepower.
First of all, this place, which Michelangelo must know and be familiar with, must be a place where he lived for a long time, otherwise God lived there, Michelangelo, could not have known, and the place he was familiar with, according to Jonas's understanding, there were only two places, one was the city of Rome, the place where Michelangelo worked the longest, and where he left the most works of art, of course, in the world of the previous life.
The other is Florence, where Michelangelo grew up, where he first received knowledge, culture, manners and new ideas, and cultivated the first enlightenment ideas in the Florentine university, and more importantly, here he spent a happy childhood, a wonderful adolescence, and Florence is also the place where he retires, so it is very possible that God is here.
Determine the location, and then determine one of them from it is much simpler, well, at least it is much simpler than who God is just thinking about, and even more simple than who carved the pentagram, why it is much simpler, this is at least a good thing, isn't it.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you can't guess which city it is, there are only two cities anyway, and it's a big deal to find the place Michelangelo pointed out by taking the time to search both cities from top to bottom, which is at least much easier to deal with than having no clue.
However, Jonas already had a judgment on this question in his heart, because the sculpture "Mourning Christ" had already told Jonas where Michelangelo's God was, otherwise, why did Michelangelo build this work there?
It is the place where this work appears on earth, and where all Christians in the world worship it most.
"The city of Rome? God is there. “
Jonas said, while feeling a little dizzy in his head, where God is in Michelangelo's eyes, how can this not make Jonas wonder, what God is in Michelangelo, this is a master's understanding of the world.
Just like Picasso's words, Van Gogh's creations, Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts, what the world is like in the eyes of these talented wizards, as long as a curious person is very interested, and now, in the hands of Jonas, there is such a key, a key to the door to the understanding of the world in the depths of a master's heart, how can Jonas not be excited.
Add to that the adventures, the old order, the Christians, the God, the pagans, all these kinds of treacherous mixtures, like an aphrodisiac, make Jonas so enthusiastic that he wants to leave St. George, leave Genoa, and go straight to the city of Rome to see the abode of God.
It's just that I can't go now.
Jonas was immediately a little depressed, now that the war is not over, there are still so many things to deal with by himself, how can he take the time to go to Rome to find an answer to the question in his heart, thinking of these things, Jonas's curiosity can only be extinguished.
"This damn war should have ended sooner. Jonas scolded in his heart, and he didn't know who was scolding, and Jonas didn't know who was scolding in his heart, anyway, such a scolding made him feel a lot more soothed, and finally looked at the sculpture a few times, and then reluctantly left the hall, really ready to go back to his bedroom to continue to struggle.
And the city of Rome at this moment is at the beginning of the change. (To be continued.) )
