There was also someone in the archaeological team who knew a little bit about Chinese, but was not proficient in it, so he conveyed what Li Mo had just said to the other archaeological experts. They thought Li Mo's words made sense. If they were to choose the most valuable treasure among the treasures in front of them, it would definitely be the one that was best protected. Obviously, there is a high probability that there is a peerless treasure hidden in that iron box.
As soon as Li Mo and the others left, the archaeologists couldn't stay for a second. They had to keep up with Li Mo and go up together to see what treasures were hidden in the iron box.
When they came to the ground, the bodyguards brought by Juliet formed a circle to keep out all the other people and let them watch from a distance.
The iron box is quite heavy, and the surface is covered with iron-red patina, indicating that the box contains copper and iron. This box alone has a certain value, and it can be classified as a bronze in China.
However, the regional culture is different, so this box is just a bit old.
"Mr. Li, can you just remove the lock and open the box?"
Juliet still asked Li Mo politely before taking action. She didn't believe anyone present but Li Mo.
Li Mo pulled the lock a few times, and it was almost corroded. With a slight twist, the European-style lock broke. He did not open the lid, but looked at Juliet and smiled: "This is your home court, it's your turn."
No matter what treasures there are, the first person to uncover the secret will eventually become a hero in the eyes of everyone.
Juliet will grow up to be the young queen of the underground world of the Kingdom of Fa, and this moment is considered her most glorious moment. She knelt on her knees, patted the box gently with both hands to let it move a little, and then slowly opened the lid. There were several layers of cloth covering the inside, and it was impossible to tell what color it was.
After removing the cloth layer by layer, a cabinet covered with gold appeared in front of everyone. Juliet's breathing suddenly became rapid. She tried to move the cabinet out with trembling hands, but she was too nervous and her hands were weak.
Li Mo had felt before that it had an extraordinary origin, and now he could really see its true face.
"Oh God, is this the Ark of the Covenant, the holy relic left by Jesus Christ!"
One of the seventy-year-old archaeological experts couldn't help but exclaimed. He walked up to him and took a closer look. Then he knelt on his knees with a pious look on his face.
"Oh God, the legendary Ark of the Covenant has actually appeared, and it will bring the supreme gospel to Christians all over the world."
Another archaeological expert knelt in front of the cabinet, clasping his hands together and lowering his head in prayer. Then Li Mo saw that most of the people watching around him knelt down and worshiped devoutly. They were all Christians.
"Ms. Juliet, how could they confirm at a glance that this is a holy relic passed down by Jesus Christ?"
Li Mo looked at it for a while and asked.
Juliet was also very pious. She prayed for a while and then said: "According to the records in the Bible, there are very strict regulations on the selection of materials and construction of the Ark of the Covenant. These regulations are all recorded in the Book of Exodus in the Bible. Approximately The cabinet was made of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half high. It was overlaid with fine gold on the inside and outside, and had a gold rim around it. The top of the cabinet was decorated with two cherubim facing each other. The four corners of the cabinet were There are four gold rings, two on the front and two on the front, and two poles of acacia wood covered with gold are passed through to facilitate the lifting of the cabinet. Mr. Li, take a closer look. This golden cabinet is exactly the same as the one recorded in the Bible."
After hearing her explanation, Li Mo looked at it again. The golden cabinet in front of him was about 110 cm long, 70 cm wide and 70 cm high. It was made of acacia wood and wrapped with pure gold. The grace seat placed on the cabinet is made only of pure gold. There are two cherubim at both ends with their wings spread out. What covers the cabinet is the grace seat, which means that God bestows grace on those who come to Him by faith. A place for people.
Four golden rings were placed on each corner of the ark. Two golden rings were molded on each side, and rods were passed through these rings to facilitate the transportation of the cabinet. The poles were made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold. Use one pole to extend into the two rings on one side, and another pole to extend into the two rings on the other side. This is God's guarantee that two people can lift and move it.
From the appearance, it looks exactly like what Juliet said in the Bible.
"Have a quick look at the Ark of the Covenant. Are there two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are engraved, a budding staff once used by Moses' brother Aaron, and a jar made of gold?"
After an archaeological expert finished praying, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, as if he had turned into another person.
Juliet and the two archaeological experts carefully moved out the Ark of the Covenant they were talking about, laid it flat on the ground, and then gently opened the cabinet door. Sure enough, they saw the wrench, cane and jar mentioned earlier.
"Christ's Relic!"
"Amen!"
There is no doubt that the golden cabinet in front of them has been definitely recognized by these fanatical believers as a sacred object in their hearts, so Wei Wei surrounded it and pushed Li Mo and others to the outside. They knelt down and worshiped around the Ark one by one. Praying sincerely.
】
"Okay, let's find a place to sit down and drink some water."
Li Mo also wanted to see what another sacred object looked like, but looking at it like this, he could only watch it from a distance.
"Uncle Junior, does this Ark of the Covenant have a high status?" Chen Xiaojun looked at the frenzied scene in front of him, a little puzzled.
"The status of the Ark of the Covenant in the hearts of Christians is the same as the status of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bone relics in the hearts of Buddhist believers. Juliet has gained the most this time. If you have the chance, become friends with her and come back in the future. Playing in Europe or something, or if I need her help with anything in the future, it’s just a matter of words.”
The sound of police cars outside the Old Palace became more and more loud, and then heavily armed police began to surround the place and set up a cordon. There were also a few police officers walking towards this side supporting an acquaintance. It was Yuli's superior Felidi. It seemed that she had arrived in Avignon a long time ago, but it was just inconvenient to show up.
It's different now. The number of treasures in the cave is astonishing and priceless. Especially since the holy relics of Jesus Christ were really found in it, it is estimated that Christians all over the world are kneeling on the ground to pray at this moment.
"Mr. Li, from now on, you will become one of our most distinguished guests in Faguo. Thank you for your support and help."
Felidi shook hands with Li Mo politely first, then turned to look at the Ark of the Covenant surrounded by everyone, and said in a solemn tone: "Now that the Ark of the Covenant has been found, where is the Holy Grail?"
"That box is quite spacious. I guess the Holy Grail should be hidden underneath." After Li Mo finished speaking, he shouted to Juliet, "Ms. Juliet, slowly peel back the remaining layers of cloth and check if there is anything in the box." Is there a Holy Grail?”
The sacred objects of Christ are the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail.
Legend has it that the Holy Grail once contained the blood of Jesus Christ. Christians believed that the cup had incredible magical powers, so the cup became the Holy Grail in the minds of Christians.
Juliet was a little dizzy. The holy object of Jesus Christ was actually reborn from her hands. Maybe she would become a heavyweight in the Christian church in the future.
The two closest archaeological experts looked at each other and stretched out their hands to uncover other layers of cloth.
