Chapter 1800: Various gods

While turning his head to look at the Armenian monk beside him, Ye Tian also woke up deep in his heart, and a look of fear flashed deep in his eyes.

The reason why he was secretly vigilant was the sect that Victor came from, the Armenian sect. ,

The Armenian sect was established by Gregorian's first mission. As early as the second century AD, Christianity began to spread widely in Armenia and its influence expanded rapidly.

At the beginning of the fourth century AD, King Trada III of Armenia established Christianity as the state religion, making Armenia the first Christian country in the world.

Unlike all other Christian denominations that believe in the ‘Trinity’ and the ‘two attributes’, the Armenian sect is an independent Christian church that believes in the doctrine of a single attribute, independent of the mainstream Christianity.

To put it simply, the Armenian sect does not agree with the leadership of the Holy See in the Vatican. The two have very different basic doctrines, and can even be said to be very different.

Because of this huge disagreement, in history, the Armenian sect was even considered heretical and suffered terrible persecution.

Compared with other mainstream Christian sects, the Armenian sect is also a bit more radical, or more paranoid, which is what makes Ye Tian secretly vigilant.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as an extremely important Christian holy site, is mainly managed by three churches and six denominations.

The three churches are the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, and the Armenian Church.

The six denominations are the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Coptic Orthodox Church.

Among them, the Greek Orthodox Church, Armenian Church, and Roman Catholic Church divided most of the properties of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

In history, in order to fight for the property and control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, these sects have been fighting for a long time, and even caused many **** conflicts.

Until 1757, the international arbitration organization decided that the area under the jurisdiction of each church and the specific properties belonged to that church were determined based on the scope of the dispute at that time as the permanent scope.

This is roughly equivalent to a ceasefire agreement. Every nail, candle, and stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is registered and owned by various denominations, and some places are co-administered areas.

However, this paper agreement did not completely stop the conflicts between the various churches. There are still constant disputes over the control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but it is not as fierce as before.

One of the most famous conflicts was related to the Armenian Church, and it was a **** incident triggered by a single step.

Looking from the main entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the front courtyard belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church, and the stairs leading to the front courtyard belong to the Armenian sect.

The key is whether the last step of the stairs belongs to the extension of the courtyard or the stairs. The dispute between the two sects has never stopped.

In 1920, even two priests were killed as a result.

In addition, outside the second-floor window on the front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, there is a wooden ladder that was placed by the Armenian sect nearly 150 years ago. Although it is useless, other sects cannot even touch it.

This is the case outside the church, and the inside of the church is getting worse. It is basically a crazy turfgrass movement, and there are no signs of stopping so far.

The result of years of fighting among various sects is that the key to the door of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is in the hands of a prominent Arab family, and Arab boys are responsible for opening the door every morning.

Because of the above reasons, Ye Tian was secretly alert when he heard that the other party was a monk of the Armenian sect.

This time, I cooperated with the Holy See of the Vatican and formed a joint exploratory team to come to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, and the Armenian Church did not deal with the Vatican.

More importantly, according to legend, the treasures of the Knights Templar are related to the two great Christian holy objects, the "Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant". It affects the nerves of every Christian believer. Are you not careful?

Ye Tian took a deep look at the Armenian monk beside him, then smiled and said:

"Good afternoon, Brother Victor, I'm Steven. It's nice to meet you. Jerusalem is a beautiful and holy ancient city full of historical charm. I like it very much.

Your information is very well-informed. Our joint exploratory team came to Jerusalem this time for the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but we do not intend to carry out exploratory operations here.

The reason is mainly because of the high sensitivity of Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In other words, we came to Jerusalem this time only to find clues.

I dare not jump to conclusions whether the treasures of the Knights Templar are buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque. From my personal point of view, I do not want the treasures of the Knights Templar to be buried there"

Hearing his words, Victor fell silent for a moment.

After a while, the monk wearing a robe whispered:

"Mr. Steven, whether the treasure of the Knights Templar is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, or somewhere else, I hope you can remember a little.

The Christian holy relics in the treasures of the Knights Templar belong to all Christian believers in the world and are of great significance. They do not belong only to the Vatican.

"It is not convenient for me to make any comments on this point, Brother Victor, you must know that I am an atheist. I don't care about the ownership of the religious holy objects in the treasure.

What I really care about is the secular property in the treasures of the Knights Templar, which is the reward of our brave brave exploration company. As for the ownership of those religious sacred objects, you should discuss with the Vatican."

Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his position.

Having said that, Victor couldn't say anything anymore. He took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​then changed the subject and began to introduce Ye Tian to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

After talking a few more words, the senior monk of the Armenian church left and went elsewhere.

After David and the others visited the Holy Sepulchre and personally touched the marble in the Holy Sepulchre, Ye Tian and the others also left the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and returned to the hotel not far away.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Jerusalem, which has been noisy for a day, has calmed down. The heavy smell of gunpowder that permeated the air has gradually dissipated. The atmosphere of the whole city has become a bit relaxed, not so tense.

After dinner, Ye Tian and the others sat in the living room, drinking coffee and discussing how to proceed.

While they were talking, the bishop of Kent and Leonardo came together and walked into the living room.

After a few words of greeting, the Bishop of Kent entered the subject.

"Steven, after an afternoon of coordination and discussion, we have reached an agreement with the relevant parties. Tomorrow we can go to the Al-Aqsa Mosque to collect information about the treasures of the Knights Templar.

However, how many people we can go in, how long we can stay in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and what we can do, will not be decided on the spot until we arrive at the Al-Aqsa Mosque tomorrow! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed a surprise.

"Awesome! Just let me enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque and go to the place where the Knights Templar was stationed, I believe I will find something, unless there is really no clue there!"

Then, the Bishop of Kent said some other things, all related to the joint exploratory operation to be launched tomorrow.

When he finished speaking, Leonardo immediately said:

"Steven, Israel's Mossad has just notified us some information~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think it is necessary to inform you so that you can respond early, so as not to be caught off guard.

The Teutonic Knights and the Hospitaller Knights each sent a group to Jerusalem, following us, and arrived in Jerusalem this afternoon. Obviously the comer is not good.

Some derivative organizations of the Knights Templar, such as the Society of **** in Portugal, and some descendants of the Knights Templar in France and Scotland, also rushed to Jerusalem.

The mysterious religious group that the Vatican has been watching closely, the Priory of Sion, two important figures of whom also appeared at the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv today,..."

Upon hearing the news from Leonardo, Ye Tian and David immediately smiled at each other.

They have already grasped these conditions, and they knew more and more detailed than Leonardo, even more than Israel's Mossad!

"Wow! There are so many people here, it's a good time! This treasure hunt has just begun, and it's so exciting, it's amazing! I like this scene, it's not exciting!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, without the slightest worry on his face.
