"Leave it to Bishop Kent to open these rosewood boxes. He has always been responsible for exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar. He should be the one to open these boxes and enjoy this glory"
The pope said with a smile and nodded slightly to Bishop Kent.
Hearing these words, Bishop Kent flushed with excitement and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the Pope.
Immediately afterwards, he put on a brand new pair of white gloves, then walked to the workbench, ready to open the first rosewood box.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Bishop Kent, when you open these rosewood boxes, it is best to stand on the side of the box, and you must move slowly, and open the box bit by bit to prevent any accidents.
Although these rosewood boxes are not sealed, they have been sealed for more than seven hundred years. The small environment inside the boxes is still a little different from the outside world, and there needs to be an adaptation process."
"Okay, Steven, I will pay more attention"
Bishop Kent nodded in response, and his expression suddenly became much more solemn.
Seemingly influenced by him, the atmosphere at the temple site in the Temple Church and on numerous live broadcasts suddenly became much more solemn and completely quiet.
Almost without exception, everyone looked at Bishop Kent and the six rosewood boxes with bated breath!
"Hoo——!"
Bishop Kent let out a deep breath, then reached out and hugged a rosewood box inlaid with gold and carved patterns, then stood on the side of the box, pressed one hand on the box, and reached for the gold buckle on the front of the box with the other hand. .
On the gold buckles of these rosewood boxes, there was originally a gilt copper lock, but the lock cylinders of those locks were rusty and could not be opened at all!
Seeing this situation, when he was in the underground palace, Ye Tian asked Bishop Kent and others to use hydraulic pliers to cut off all the locks to avoid further trouble.
"Pa"
With a crisp sound, Bishop Kent gently opened the gold buckle of the rosewood box.
Then, he slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box, cautiously, not even daring to let out any air.
Not only him, but also other people at the scene and many people in front of the live broadcast. They all stared nervously at Bishop Kent and the rosewood box that had been sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years.
No accidents occurred, no crossbow arrows were fired, and no poisonous smoke was emitted. It was very peaceful.
Finally, Bishop Kent completely opened the rosewood box, and the contents contained in the box were immediately displayed in front of everyone and on the live broadcast screen.
It was a piece of linen that had turned black, with a Maltese cross vaguely embroidered on it. There was something wrapped in the linen, which looked rectangular, but I didn't know what it was.
Ye Tian glanced at the situation in the box, and then said loudly:
"Bishop Kent, you must slowly lift up the linen cloth, and your movements must be gentle. The linen cloth has a history of at least more than seven hundred years. It is extremely fragile and may turn into ashes at any time!"
"Understood, Steven, I'll be careful"
Bishop Kent nodded and said, then reached out and gently pinched a corner of the linen cloth, and slowly lifted it up.
Fortunately, the linen was not in very bad condition and did not turn into ashes.
After a moment, Bishop Kent completely uncovered the linen cloth, and several pieces of dark gray waterproof oil paper appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately.
"Wow! What exactly is in this box? It's wrapped layer after layer, it's too cautious."
"Oh my god! This scene is so tense, I can't even breathe smoothly"
After a short pause, Bishop Kent took action again and began to dismantle the dark gray moisture-proof oil paper.
As he moved, the oil paper used to wrap things and isolate moisture was peeled off bit by bit.
We have reached the last layer of greaseproof paper, and the answer to the mystery is about to be revealed.
Bishop Kent carefully lifted off the last layer of moisture-proof oil paper, but within ten centimeters of the layer of oil paper, his right hand suddenly stopped in the air, as if he had pressed the pause button.
At the same time, his face quickly turned red, his eyes were full of disbelief and excitement, and there were even tears surging in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the people at the scene and in front of the live broadcast did not know that under the last layer of oil paper, there must be a legendary and long-lost Christian holy relic.
However, no one knows what the Christian holy relic is. Only the nearest Bishop Kent and Steven know it.
Under this situation, there are a few people who can endure it.
"Bishop Kent, what treasure is hidden under that layer of oil paper? Reveal it quickly, don't whet everyone's appetite, it's too painful"
The Archbishop of London said impatiently, wishing he could rush forward to replace Bishop Kent and directly lift the dark gray oil paper.
With his words, Bishop Kent, who had fallen into a sluggish state and was in a state of confusion, finally woke up.
The next moment, he carefully lifted off the last layer of greaseproof paper and said in a voice that was shaking with excitement:
“This is the Gospel of Matthew, and it is the legendary Golden Gospel with illustrations by St. Sepulchre, one of the four Golden Gospels that disappeared along with the treasures of the Knights Templar.
God bless, this sacred object still exists, and it has finally been seen again today. It is the greatest honor of my life to be lucky enough to find this golden gospel and display it with my own hands! ”
At the same time that Bishop Kent said these words, the "Gospel of Matthew" contained in the box also appeared in front of everyone.
In an instant, a golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes. It was so dazzling that it made everyone dizzy. It also reflected the splendor of the entire temple in the temple church.
The thing contained in the rosewood box inlaid with gold and carved patterns is a "Gospel of Matthew" made of gold. It is rectangular, about 40 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide. It looks very heavy!
At this time, the legendary Golden Gospel was lying quietly in the rosewood box, radiating an extremely dazzling light under the light.
The cover of this religious book is engraved with exquisite patterns. In the center of the cover is a protruding cross of Jesus' crucifixion. Below the cross, there is a line of Hebrew inscriptions.
Although Ye Tian does not know Hebrew, as a top antique art appraisal expert and currently exploring the famous Knights Templar treasure, he happens to know that line of Hebrew.
As Bishop Kent said, that line of Hebrew means exactly the Gospel of Matthew.
Unsurprisingly, the temple scene in the Temple Church and countless live broadcasts were completely boiling in an instant.
"Oh my God! That's the Gospel of Matthew, and it's the Golden Gospel with the illustrations of St. Cypriot, a Christian holy relic that has disappeared for more than seven hundred years. God bless me, let me witness this with my own eyes. A great miracle! ”
"This is really a perfect day, this is really a great miracle, and it is definitely worthy of being remembered by everyone forever!"
Amidst the exclamations one after another and under the gaze of countless hot eyes, Bishop Kent suppressed his excitement and carefully pushed the box containing the Gospel of Matthew in front of the Pope.
At this time, the Pope had already pushed away his chair and stood up. His face was red, his eyes were shining with excitement, and his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Everyone else at the scene, including the Queen of England and her husband, the British Prime Minister, Prince William, etc., all stood up and stared closely at the gold-inlaid rosewood box and the golden ancient book inside!
"Your Majesty the Pope, please take a look. We have finally fulfilled our mission and found this long-lost golden gospel"
Bishop Kent said excitedly, his voice was trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears.
The Pope did not respond, but looked at the golden gospel in the box with great excitement.
After a long time, he stretched out his hands, reached into the box, touched the cover of the golden gospel very gently, and then gently opened it.
At the same time, everyone at the scene craned their necks, trying to see what was recorded in the golden gospel.
The same goes for countless people in front of the live broadcast, everyone is looking forward to it!
However, they could only see the excited and focused Pope and the dazzling cover of the Golden Gospel, but could not see the content inside at all.
The next moment, the Pope said in a trembling voice:
"Yes, this is one of the legendary four golden gospels, a true Christian holy relic. I didn't expect it to reappear today after disappearing for more than seven hundred years. God bless, this is really a miracle! ”
As he spoke, he lightly crossed himself on his chest, showing great piety.
Then he took another step back, knelt down on one knee, and began to pray in a low voice.
Seeing the Pope's action, Bishop Kent and other senior monks from the Vatican immediately knelt down and began to pray in low voices.
Everyone else at the scene, from the Queen of England to the security personnel, all knelt down on one knee and prayed in a low voice. Everyone looked pious.
The same was true in front of countless live broadcasts. Everyone who believed in Christianity, whether ordinary people, heinous criminals, presidents or civilians, all knelt down and prayed in a low voice.
The content of their prayers is exactly what is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, which is very appropriate for the occasion.
Of course, Ye Tian was not included among those who knelt on one knee and prayed softly.
At this time, he stood alone in the temple of the Temple Church, standing alone in the temple like a chicken, and he was extremely eye-catching.
