Chapter 180 The Holy Skin of Jesus

"This is Madrid?"

The three of them got out of the airport, took a taxi directly to find a hotel to stay in, and then went on a tour under the guidance of Wang Hong, even traveling and hunting treasures.

"This is Albarracín. Near Teruel in the northeast of Spain, there is a small town named Albarracín. Although the town is small, it has been selected as the most beautiful town in Spain, and it is also one of the world's cultural heritage."

The next day they arrived at their destination, a beautiful town with medieval buildings along the way, churches and castles abound.

The three of them managed to get away from the city and came to this exotic place. Wang Hong relaxed and said: "The most special place here is the intricate terrain, all the steps and alleys, the Caserío houses with northern characteristics, and the unique red color. The simple folk customs of the town.”

"If you look carefully, the town's building materials are basically piled with gypsum. There are even more buildings built with this material than the town's stone. Another magic thing is that every corner of it, every There is a big iron-absorbing stone gecko glued to the door of each house, it is said that this is a belief that has been passed down by the people of the town for many years."

While visiting, Wu Tianyuan let the cross sense the location of the treasure, and after a while, he finally found the destination, a small old castle.

"An old castle again?"

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, he just bought a dilapidated old castle in England, and it hasn't been refurbished yet, but the scenery is very good, and he can come for vacation in the future.

Wang Hong obtained specific information through the embassy, ​​and then contacted the seller, who was an intermediary. The castle had been idle for many years, and it was quickly sold for 200 million euros.

Wu Tianyuan opened the secret room with ease and found a treasure chest that was hidden deeply. There were paintings on it, three oil paintings by Picasso and two sketches of figures.

"Is this Michelangelo's draft?"

Wu Tianyuan was already immune to Picasso, so he put it down after listening to it casually, and picked up a few pieces of parchment, which turned out to be Michelangelo's drafts.

"Genesis!"

"Create Adam!"

"Create Eve!"

"Creation of Adam" is an important part of Michelangelo's representative murals.Because of his great reputation in Florence, Pope Julius II at that time invited him to participate in the construction of the Pope's tomb, but then interrupted. In 1508, he was forced to accept the task of murals on the roof of the Sistine Chapel.

The murals on the Sistine roof cover an area of ​​about 500 square meters and are one of the largest murals in the history of art.In the central part of the hall, Michelangelo painted 9 consecutive religious paintings of different sizes along the architectural frame, all of which are based on the stories in the Bible about the opening of the world until the ark of the flood.

They are respectively titled "Division of Light and Darkness", "Creation of Sun, Moon, Plants", "Water and Continent of God", "Creation of Adam", "Creation of Eve", "Temptation and Expulsion from Paradise", "Noah's Sacrifice", " Flood" and "Noah Drunken", this giant mural took more than 4 years to complete.

"Creation of Adam" is the most touching scene in the entire zenith painting. This scene does not directly depict God shaping Adam, but draws the moment when the divine spark is about to touch Adam: God flying from the sky, stretching his finger to Adam , was about to pass the soul to Adam like turning on the power.This dramatic moment juxtaposes man and God wonderfully, triggering a sense of infinite awe.

"This should be Michelangelo's draft, it is very valuable to the church, hehe!"

Wu Tianyuan became excited and spent all day hunting for treasures. It is difficult for ordinary treasures to arouse his interest now. Only those with this special meaning that can be exchanged with museums are interesting.

"what is this?"

Wu Tianyuan put away the draft and found an exquisite box at the bottom of the box. When he opened it, it was not jewelry, but something like a piece of skin.

"This is the holy skin of Jesus! Priceless!"

The cross screamed, Wu Tianyuan felt sick, and quickly closed the box.

The holy skin is one of the few relics left by Jesus in the world according to legend.In history, several churches in Europe have claimed to have the skin cut off by Jesus, and it is said to have magical powers.

According to the Christian doctrine of the church, the flesh of Jesus ascended to heaven [-] days after his resurrection.The few relics left in the world.

There have also been theological debates in the past, whether Jesus was complete if the skin was not included when Jesus ascended to heaven; later it was extended to debate whether Jesus should ascend to heaven together with the fallen hair, nails, etc.Others pointed out that since the ascension of Jesus was a miracle, these restrictions should not be exempted.

Many churches in Europe claim that they own some or all of the holy skins. Among them, a church in Calca, Italy, until 1983, will hold out the holy skins they own during the parade every year.Until later, their holy relics were stolen by thieves even in the treasure box, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Another church in France claimed that their holy skin was left by King Henry V in the Middle Ages. At that time, Henry V's wife was pregnant. It is said that the smell of the holy skin has an anti-fetal effect, and Henry V borrowed it from other places. Used it and didn't return it because of the effect.

"According to you, this may be the one stolen in Italy?"

After Wu Tianyuan heard about the cross, he estimated that this might be the lost skin. Since it is a sacred object, the Vatican Museum should be interested, right?

The holy skin is a very important historical object in the history of Christianity, and its reputation is comparable to that of the holy grail, the shroud, and the true cross.

As a Jew, Jesus was no exception.

At the beginning of the thirteenth century, eight churches claimed to have the holy hide in their collections.Faced with such a question, the cunning Pope III refused to decide which was real, saying: "Only God can know the truth about this thorny question."

With such a statement, more churches joined the ranks of Holy Skin fans, so at least 12 places claimed to have the "Holy Skin" of Jesus during the same period, and the "Holy Skin" in Chartres is said to be the most With magical powers, barren women can become fertile just by looking at it.

Similar to many true crosses, all the holy skins combined are enough to make a big wallet.

According to this theory, Jesus was incomplete because Jesus ascended to heaven [-] days after his resurrection.

After arguing and for many years, the Spanish Jesuits concluded that Christ ascended to heaven in a state of circumcision.As a result, the spiritual body whose integrity cannot be doubted has to retain "a certain part of the substance that originally belonged to his body grows due to continuous nutrition", that is to say, it is still growing.

"Don't forget me, I am the ring of the brave left by the Crusades!"

Finally, Wu Tianyuan found a silver ring in the corner with only a circle of mysterious patterns. It turned out to be a treasure left by the Crusaders?
After some exchange, Wu Tianyuan was satisfied with wearing it on his left middle finger, the ring of conquest on his index finger, and now there is a ring of bravery from the Crusaders. They all said that there are many treasures waiting to be discovered, so take your time one by one.

The word cannot be displayed, everyone can only understand it!
