Chapter 244 Knights Templar

"Tell me, where is the treasure of the Crusaders?"

After resting for a week, Wu Tianyuan started the treasure hunting journey in good spirits, summoned Tom's team, brought Wang Jun Wang Hong, and prepared for the treasure hunting crusade.

"In 1119, several broken knights in France initiated the establishment of a religious military order to protect pilgrims and defend the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem established in the First Crusade. Since the order is headquartered in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem , so it is called the Knights Templar."

"After the establishment of the Knights Templar, due to the extortion of pagans and Christians, coupled with the continuous donations of pilgrims, and various gifts from the Pope, they have accumulated considerable wealth. They have fiefs and castles , opened banks for pilgrims and kings, and was an early banker in Europe."

"Later they lived extravagantly, were insatiably greedy, were keen on secret arts, and conspired to participate in political activities, which finally aroused the dissatisfaction of European kings and other religious orders, and were denounced as heresies. In [-], Pope Clement V had to officially announce the dissolution of St. Templar Knights."

The Ring of the Brave introduced: "On October [-], [-], King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of all members of the Knights Templar in France. The King of France wanted to attack the Knights Templar and confiscate their wealth to subsidize the increasingly embarrassing Difficult financial expenditure."

"But the Knights Templar have cleverly hidden a lot of wealth. In fact, the Pope of Rome had quietly tipped the Knights Templar a few days before the French King took action. Jacques, the High Priest of the Knights Templar, learned in prison When the French king wanted to completely destroy the order, he took decisive measures, called his nephew, the young Earl Scheider, to prison, let the earl secretly inherit the position of high priest, and asked the earl to swear to save the Knights Templar, and Preserve its treasure until the end of the world."

"Then he told the count: In the tomb of my former high priest, whose body is no longer there, are treasured the archives of the Knights Templar. Through these archives, many holy objects and treasures can be found. With this treasure You can get rid of the influence of non-Christian. This treasure is brought out from the Holy Land, it includes the [-] candlesticks of Solomon, the crown of the kings of Jerusalem, and [-] golden Gospels with holy relics, illustrated by Sepilkler.

"The main money of the Knights Templar is still elsewhere, in the two large pillars of the altar at the entrance to the tomb of the high priests. The capitals of these pillars can turn by themselves, and the hollow shafts hide the Knights Templar A huge treasure accumulated."

"In [-], after High Priest Jacques was executed by the King of France, the Count formed a pure architect organization and asked the King of France for permission to bury Mollet's body in another place. The King agreed. So Beauge took the opportunity from the Templars. Gold, silver and precious stones were taken from the large pillars of the Church of the Regiment. Because the Knights Templar has long been keen on the occult, they have their own unique set of mysterious symbol system. They use this symbol system and secret religious rituals to hide and recreate Take out their treasures."

After Wu Tianyuan understood the ins and outs of the incident, he became more interested in these treasures. The Crusades have always been a historical mystery, and many holy objects disappeared at that time.The Holy See has been searching secretly for thousands of years. If he can find some of them, he will have even stronger bargaining chips.

"Go to the small town of Setu in Jerusalem!"

The group flew directly to the small town of Setu, which was a small place with only one name on the map, and the ring said that one of the treasures was there.

"In the wild? Okay, just dig!"

Wu Tianyuan likes the treasures in the wild the most. They don't need to spend money to buy them. He digs them directly in the dark, and he dug out two treasure chests in a short while.

"This is the crown of King Latincipe!"

"And Solomon's candlestick!"

"The crucifix and handwritten Bible of the Master of the Knights Templar!"

"Three rolls of alchemy parchment!"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly counted the seemingly ordinary harvest, knowing that this time he picked up treasures, and these were the important weapons preserved by the Crusaders back then.Each represents an important piece of religious history and is priceless to the Vatican!

"Huh? It's not just the Vatican, is it?"

Wu Tianyuan suddenly had an idea. These are also treasures for France. It was their king who ordered the destruction of the Knights Templar. Although the Pope also had the intention behind it, it is estimated that Henry is also very interested in these.

"Forget it, let's go to the Vatican first. Andrew has always been very righteous, and I can't be stingy. I just went to see what the Holy See headquarters is like?"

Wu Tianyuan decided to go to the Vatican first. Andrew was very generous several times, and the Holy See is also a diamond thigh, so cooperate as much as possible.Right now he is still weak, so he has to make use of the external force as much as possible, and wait until he becomes stronger.

"Dear Wu, the glory of the Lord calls you again!"

Andrew personally went to the airport to pick up Wu Tianyuan, and several cars drove directly to the headquarters of the Holy See. After seeing this treasure excitedly, he praised him greatly: "As expected of the messenger of His Majesty the Holy Father's prophecy, you found such a treasure in just three months." What a lost holy object, the Lord must take good care of you!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Andrew's envious look, curled his lips, and secretly said: "It's not the Lord's favor, but the babies themselves like me!"

"It's a pity that His Majesty the Holy Father is away from the Holy See, otherwise he would definitely want to meet you, a magical treasure hunter."

"Next time there is a chance, there is a chance!"

Wu Tianyuan shied away, he didn't want to meet someone with great power like the Pope, Andrew could perceive his supernatural ability, if the Pope didn't directly see through him?
"Come on, since you came in person, I'll take you to the secret room."

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Is this convenient?"

Andrew smiled and said, "After you have been baptized, you are your own family. Come with me!"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly followed Andrew to the secret room of the Holy See, of course it was only the smallest one, and only the pope could enter the core secret room.

"Zhang Zeduan's Tokyo Dream Record!"

"Han Yu's snow landscape!"

"Li Gonglin's picture of five horses!"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly held three hand scrolls, all of which were national treasures. Tokyo Menghualu was Zhang Zeduan's only authentic work handed down besides the Qingming Shanghe Tu!
"Five Horses" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. It uses line drawing to draw five horses from the Western Regions as a tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty, each led by a Xi official.

There is an inscription by Huang Tingjian on the back of each horse, stating the age of the horse, the time of tribute, the name of the horse, and where it was collected, etc., and the postscript is called Li Gonglin.Each of the five horses has a good name, which makes people daydream. They are in order: Fengtoucong, Jinbeicong, Haotouchi, Zhaoyebai, and Manchuanhua.

There are two inscriptions of Emperor Qianlong on the painting, and there are 20 seals such as "Le Shoutang Appreciating Treasures" in the Qing Dynasty.Li Gonglin was not very proud of his official career in his life, but he made great achievements in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was good at pommel horses.He established the line-drawing method that was only used as a powder book in the past as a painting type, and became the line-drawing No.1.
