But Zhang Ang was not distressed at all, and he didn't even have time to care if the final explosion hurt St. John, and all his attention was focused on the legendary holy ark in front of him.
Zhang Ang didn't open it immediately, but took it to the Xuanwu Tablet in the middle of the Xuanwu Hall and put it down.
According to the great pope of Judaism, the Ark of the Covenant itself is not precious, but nothing more than a chest made of gold, which is nothing more delicate and worth a little money.
The truly precious thing is in the Ark of the Covenant!
But the Ark of the Covenant had been in St. John's hands before, and Zhang Ang was a little worried, worried that St. John would open the ark, take all the contents away, and then deceive him with an empty ark!
In this case, after paying so much price, wouldn't it be in vain?
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his excitement, Zhang Ang reached for the door of the Ark of the Covenant with a trembling hand, and then opened it!
Take a look!
Thankfully, there's something in the cupboard!
Zhang Ang only felt that his heart was beating fast, and waves of ecstasy kept coming, making him want to yell a few times to vent.
I got the Ark of the Covenant! I got the contents of it! Surrounded by so many forces, so many powerful people, in the hands of that terrible cardinal of the Holy See, I easily got the Ark of the Covenant!
This series of processes is so easy, so easy that Zhang Ang can't believe it.
He knew that without the Xuanwu Palace, without the Xuanwu Palace's ability to defy the sky, he would not have been able to snatch the ark of the covenant from the cardinal's hand, and now, with just a little effort, he casually flickered twice, and he got this treasure!
After sighing and screaming a few more times to vent, Zhang Ang turned his gaze back to the ark of the covenant and the few things in the ark.
The Ark of the Covenant is not a large space, but is divided into three tiers by a golden partition.
And unexpectedly, after so many years of silence in the sea of death, there was not a trace of water in the cabinet, not a single trace of corrosion or damage, and the contents were all intact.
On the top floor of the cabinet were two boards, which looked gray, and when they were taken out, they were cold and stiff, like two stone slabs.
The two stone tablets were carved with strange words, but they were not any words that Zhang Ang knew, and he could not understand them.
However, although he can't understand it, Zhang Ang can still faintly feel the subtlety contained in these words, which is very strange and mysterious, so that even if people can't understand it, they want to keep looking at it like this and pursue the mystery.
After looking at it for ten minutes, Zhang Ang also knew that the mystery of these two stone slabs could not be studied through by him casually, so he put the stone slabs aside, and then looked at the second layer of the cabinet.
There were only two things on the second floor, one was a half-meter-long wooden stick, and the other was a golden jar the size of a pig's head.
Zhang Ang took out the stick first.
The stick looked very magical, it was clearly taken from a dead tree, and had been used for a long time, the surface was rubbed very smooth, but at the top of it grew a small branch, and on the branch there were two emerald green leaves.
This is obviously unreasonable, how can such a stick, which is not a tree, without roots, without soil nourishment, grow leaves? Moreover, since the Ark of the Covenant has been thrown into the sea of death for more than a thousand years, and there is no sunlight, how can leaves grow on this stick? How can photosynthesis be carried out?
Zhang Ang was a little puzzled, could it be that the leaves were fake?
He mobilized his internal strength and began to feel the strange stick, the two delicate leaves on it.
But what I found was very surprising, these two leaves were real!
Moreover, this stick contains an incomparable vitality! The vitality contained in this stick is equivalent to a whole large forest! Moreover, the vitality in this is not the same as the vitality in those delicacies cooked by Zhang Ang with the legendary kitchenware, it is a pure, belonging to the vitality of nature!
After playing with it for a while, feeling this magic stick for a while, Zhang Ang gently put it down and picked up the clay pot next to it.
This golden jar is round in shape, also made of gold, the style is very ancient, and the pattern painted on it is also very simple, looking very primitive and rough.
Looking through the mouth of the jar, there was a large white mass of dough-like stuff inside.
Zhang Ang hesitated, but still stretched out his hand, reached into the jar, and touched the large white thing.
This large ball of white "dough" was unexpectedly soft, like a cotton ball, and Zhang Ang grabbed a small piece from it with a light grasp.
This small piece of white "dough" faintly reveals a trace of grain aroma, mixed with a faint oil fragrance, which arouses people's appetite and is indescribably tempting.
According to Zhang Ang's guess, this thing should be the god-given food "manna" in Jewish legends, the kind of miraculous food that the gods gave to the Jews so that they could not eat it all!
But Zhang Ang didn't want to try it, this jar of "manna" has been under the sea of death for more than a thousand years, and logically speaking, it has long passed its expiration date. Moreover, Zhang An choked up on the situation before the Sea of Death, which was the real realm of the living, the paradise of the dead, which was full of lifelessness and poisonous flowing, who knows what kind of changes this "manna" has produced after being put in such a water of death for so many years? If you eat it and die of poisoning, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Putting the small ball of "manna" back into the jar and setting the jar aside, Jang Ang looked at the third floor at the bottom of the Ark of the Covenant.
The third layer of the past is also very simple, it is three black scrolls!
It was completely black, the paper was black, the rope was black, and it was pitch black.
However, according to their position, there should be four empty spaces on the third floor for four scrolls, and now, there are only three scrolls in the cabinet! The black rope that was originally tied to the base of the cabinet and tied the scroll is still there, but the scroll on top is gone!
Could this be the legendary Dead Sea Papers? Could it be St. John who took one of them, or was it this one that the god Torivu took a thousand years ago?
Zhang Ang didn't think much about it, directly untied one of the black ropes, took out a volume of "Dead Sea Documents" and looked at it.
