Chapter 1924 The Legendary Golden Gospel

"Leave the opening of these rosewood boxes to the Bishop of Kent. He has always been in charge of 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 at the Bishop of Kent.

Hearing these words, Bishop of Kent flushed with excitement, and hurriedly expressed his thanks to the Pope.

Immediately afterwards, he put on a brand new pair of white gloves, and walked to the workbench, ready to open the first rosewood box.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:

"Bishop of Kent, when you open these rosewood boxes, it is best to stand on the side of the box, and you must move slowly, opening the box little by little to prevent any accidents.

Although these red sandalwood boxes are not sealed, they have been sealed for more than 700 years after all, and the small environment inside the box is still a bit different from the outside world, and there must be a process of adaptation."

"Okay, Steven, I'll definitely pay more attention"

The Bishop of Kent nodded in response, and his face suddenly became much more serious.

As if under his influence, the atmosphere at the temple site in the Temple Church and the countless live broadcast terminals suddenly became more dignified, and completely quieted down.

Almost without exception, everyone stared at the Bishop of Kent and those six rosewood boxes with breathless concentration!

"call--!"

The Bishop of Kent breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his arms to embrace a rosewood box inlaid with gold and carved patterns. Then he stood on the side of the box, pressed one hand on the box, and stretched out the other hand to the gold buckle on the front of the box.

On the golden hasp of these red sandalwood boxes, there was originally a gold-plated copper lock head, but the lock cylinders of those lock heads were rusted to death, and they could not be opened at all!

Seeing this situation, when he was in the underground palace, Ye Tian asked the Bishop of Kent and the others to cut off all the locks with hydraulic pliers to save trouble.

"Snapped"

With a crisp sound, the Bishop of Kent lightly lifted the golden buckle of the rosewood box.

Afterwards, he slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box, so carefully that he didn't even dare to let out the air.

Not only him, but also the other people at the scene and many people in front of the live broadcast, all nervously staring at the Bishop of Kent and the rosewood box that had been sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years.

There were no accidents, neither crossbow arrows shot nor poisonous smoke spewed out, it was very peaceful.

Finally, the Bishop of Kent completely opened the rosewood box, and the things contained in the box were immediately presented in front of everyone and on the live broadcast screen.

It was a piece of linen cloth that had turned black, with a Maltese cross vaguely embroidered on it. Something was wrapped inside the linen cloth, which looked rectangular, but it was unknown what it was.

Ye Tian glanced at the situation in the box, and then said loudly:

"Bishop of Kent, slowly lift that piece of linen, and you must be gentle. That piece of linen is at least seven hundred years old, and it is extremely fragile, and it may turn into flying ash at any time!"

"Understood, Steven, I'll be careful"

The Bishop of Kent nodded and said, then reached out and gently pinched the corner of the linen cloth, and slowly lifted it up.

Fortunately, the condition of the linen was not too bad, and it did not turn into fly ash.

After a while, the Bishop of Kent completely uncovered the linen,

Several pieces of dark gray waterproof oil paper appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation immediately.

"Wow! What 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 brief pause, the Bishop of Kent moved again and began to disassemble the dark gray moisture-proof oiled paper.

With his movements, the oiled paper used to wrap things and insulate moisture was lifted little by little.

It's the last layer of oil paper, and the answer to the mystery is about to be revealed.

The Bishop of Kent carefully lifted the last layer of moisture-proof oil paper, but just after the layer of oil paper was lifted less than ten centimeters, 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 filled with disbelief and excitement, and tears were even welling up in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, 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 object.

However, people have no way of knowing what that Christian holy relic is. Only the nearest Bishop of Kent and Steven that guy know.

Under such circumstances, how many people can endure it.

"Bishop of Kent, what treasure is hidden under that layer of oil paper? Hurry up and uncover it, don't hang everyone's appetites, this is too painful"

The Archbishop of London said impatiently, wishing he could rush forward to replace the Bishop of Kent, and directly lifted the dark gray oiled paper.

Following his words, Bishop of Kent, who had fallen into a stupor and lost his mind, was finally awakened.

The next moment, he carefully lifted off the last layer of oil paper, and said in a voice trembling with excitement:

"This is a Gospel of Matthew, and one of the four golden Gospels that is said to have disappeared with the treasures of the Knights Templar, with illustrations from St. Sepilcles.

God bless, this holy relic still exists, and today it finally sees the light of day again. It is the greatest honor in my life to be lucky enough to find this golden gospel and display it with my own hands! "

At the same time that the Bishop of Kent was speaking, the "Gospel of Matthew" in the box was also presented to everyone.

In an instant, a golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes. It was so dazzling that everyone was a little dizzy, and it also set off the golden and green splendor of the temple in the entire 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 forty centimeters high, and thirty centimeters wide. It looks very heavy!

At this time, the legendary Golden Gospel was lying quietly in the rosewood box, radiating an incomparably dazzling light under the light.

On the cover of this religious book, there are exquisite patterns engraved on it. In the center of the cover is a protruding Jesus crucifixion. Below this cross, a line of Hebrew is engraved.

Although Ye Tian didn't know Hebrew, but as a top expert in antique art appraisal and was exploring the treasure of the famous Knights Templar, he happened to know that line of Hebrew.

As the Bishop of Kent said, the meaning of that line of Hebrew is the Gospel of Matthew.

Not surprisingly, the scene of the temple in the Temple Church, as well as the countless live broadcast terminals, was completely boiling in an instant.

"My God! That's the Gospel of Matthew, and it's the golden Gospel with illustrations from St. Sepilkles, a Christian relic that has disappeared for more than 700 years, God bless, let me witness this great miracle with my own eyes !"

"This is really a perfect day, this is really a great miracle, and it is definitely worth remembering forever by everyone!"

Amidst the exclamations one after another, and under the gaze of countless hot eyes, the Bishop of Kent forcibly 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 flushed, his eyes were shining brightly 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 and others, all stood up, staring closely at the gold-encrusted rosewood box and at 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"

The bishop of Kent said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The Pope did not respond, but stared at the golden gospel in the box, so excited that he couldn't help himself.

After a long time, he stretched out his hands, reached into the box, stroked the cover of the Golden Gospel very gently, and then gently peeled it off.

At the same time, everyone at the scene stretched their necks, trying to see what was recorded in the golden gospel.

The same goes for countless people before 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 they couldn't see the contents at all.

The next moment, the Pope said in a trembling voice:

"That's right, this is one of the four legendary golden Gospels. It is a true Christian holy relic. I didn't expect it to appear again today after it disappeared for more than seven hundred years. God bless, this is really a miracle!"

As he spoke, he lightly drew a sign of the cross on his chest, extremely pious.

Immediately afterwards, he took another step back, then knelt down on one knee, and began to pray in a low voice.

Seeing the pope's action, the senior monks from the Vatican, Bishop of Kent, immediately knelt down and began to pray in low voices.

The other people at the scene, from the Queen of England to the security personnel, one by one, knelt down on one knee and prayed in a low voice, and everyone's face was devout.

The same is true in front of countless live broadcasts, but all those who believe in Christianity, no matter ordinary people or heinous criminals, no matter the president 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 suitable for the occasion.

Of course, Ye Tian was not among the people kneeling on one knee and praying in low voices.

At this time, he stood alone in the temple in the temple church like a bird standing out from the crowd, and he was extremely eye-catching.
