Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1799 Journey to the Holy Land

Although the city of Jerusalem was in chaos, with the smoke of war and gunshots, it did not stop Ye Tian and the others from visiting this historic city.

After successfully checking into the hotel, having lunch and taking a short rest, Ye Tian and the others left the hotel and went out for a tour with great interest.

In view of the current situation in Jerusalem and the strong advice of the Israeli police, the scope of their tour is limited to the Christian area in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Compared with several other districts, it is relatively calm here. Even if there are demonstrations, the number of people is not large, the scale is small, and there is no big threat.

Even so, when they left the hotel, each of Ye Tian and the others were fully armed, loaded with live ammunition, and made careful preparations in case of accidents.

In addition to the many armed security personnel scattered around Ye Tian and the others who were always on high alert, Cole also arranged for a few guys to pretend to be tourists and set off early to mix with the crowd for covert protection!

In addition, Leonardo led several fully armed members of the Swiss Guard and left the hotel with Ye Tian and the others.

The Israeli police also dispatched a lot of military police, some in plain clothes and some in uniform, closely following Ye Tian and the others to prevent accidents from happening.

Jerusalem was already chaotic enough, and the Israelis absolutely didn't want to see Ye Tian and the others clash with someone again, fighting in the old city of Jerusalem, causing further damage to this historic city.

Because of the special mission that Ye Tian and the others shouldered during this trip, as well as the status of Leonardo and members of the Swiss Guard, the group of them enjoyed special treatment in the Christian area that was different from all other tourists.

During the tour, the group of them walked unimpeded. No matter where they went to any scenic spot, they didn't need to line up or take off their guns, and they could just enter the tour directly from the special passage.

In this way, the speed of their visits is undoubtedly much faster, and they can visit more scenic spots in a short period of time.

In just one afternoon, they visited many famous scenic spots in the Christian Quarter.

The first is the famous Christian holy place, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

According to legend, this is the place where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected, and it has a very special meaning.

As a professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian certainly would not miss this place, and David and Cole, who are Christian believers, would not miss it even more.

When visiting this holy place,

Ye Tian is purely appreciating this famous religious holy place and this famous historical building from the perspective of a tourist and an expert on antique art appraisal.

David and Cole were different. They were very pious and solemn. During the visit, everyone prayed.

In the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, there is another famous Christian shrine, the remains of Calvary.

According to legend, Golgotha ​​Mountain was the place where Jesus was crucified, and Ye Tian and the others also visited it.

In fact, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was built on the ruins of Mount Calvary, and the two were integrated as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the fourth century AD.

Throughout the ages, the Golgotha ​​site located in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has always been a preferred pilgrimage site for Christian believers, and its status is very important.

Next, Ye Tian and the others left the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, strolled through the cobweb-like ancient streets and alleys in the Old City of Jerusalem, and visited the Jaffa Gate not far away.

It is one of the eight gates of the Old City of Jerusalem, connecting the Old City of Jerusalem with the Jaffa Port on the Mediterranean Sea, so it is named Jaffa Gate.

In the past, believers who came to Jerusalem for pilgrimage had to disembark from the boat at Jaffa Port in the Mediterranean Sea, then change to land and enter the Christian area of ​​Jerusalem through the Jaffa Gate for pilgrimage.

Today, the Jaffa Gate is a ruined wall.

As part of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, the Jaffa Gate has long been listed as a world cultural heritage and is under very strict protection!

Without the permission of the United Nations, no matter whether it is an Israeli, a Palestinian, or someone else, not even a stone or a brick here can be moved.

After visiting the Jaffa Gate, Ye Tian and the others went to visit the dining room where Jesus had his last supper, which is also the dining room depicted in Da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper".

Ye Tian naturally wouldn't miss such a thunderous place in art history.

Leaving this famous dining room, Ye Tian and his group visited the adjacent Tomb of David and several other famous attractions, which are also located in the Christian area.

In the evening, Ye Tian and the others basked in the afterglow of the setting sun, walked along the ancient streets of Jerusalem, and walked the path of suffering that Jesus walked before carrying the cross, also known as the "Path of Passion".

When they reached the thirteenth station of the Way of the Cross, David and Cole knelt down and kissed one by one a rectangular marble symbolizing the thirteenth station of the Way of the Cross.

On that ancient marble, from a distance, it seemed to be stained with blood.

According to legend, after Jesus died, people untied him from the cross and placed him on the marble to wash his body and anoint him with oil.

The blood stains on the marble were left by Jesus back then.

After kissing the marble, David and the others each took out a prepared token, wiped it lightly on the marble a few times, and then put it away very solemnly, ready to take it home and worship it.

That guy David even shed a few crocodile tears, whether it was due to excitement or an excellent performance, that's unknown, only he himself knows!

The fourteenth station of the Way of the Cross is the Holy Sepulcher.

In other words, Ye Tian and the others returned to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre again, which was equivalent to going around the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and returning to the starting point.

After entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre again, David and the others walked forward in batches and stroked a round marble hole on the altar in front of Golgotha ​​with their hands. Everyone was extremely devout.

It is said that it was the place where the cross was originally crucified, and to this day, there is still a model of Jesus being crucified on that altar.

The altar is surrounded by devout believers from all over the world, waiting in line one by one to touch the marble hole and feel sacred.

After each of David and the others got their wish and touched the sacred marble hole, Ye Tian and the others, led by several senior priests of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, came to the last stop of the Way of the Cross, the Tomb of Jesus!

This is a tomb embedded in the mountain. Rather than saying it is a tomb, it is more appropriate to say that it is a cave dug out of the mountain.

According to legend, Jesus was buried here after his death, resurrected three days later, and ascended to heaven after forty days. It is one of the most important holy places in Christianity.

As before, after arriving here, David and the others immediately stepped forward in batches, looked at the tomb of Jesus with a very respectful and solemn expression, and touched the marble in the tomb with their hands.

Ye Tian naturally wouldn't go up to join in the fun, he is a staunch atheist, everyone knows that!

At this moment, if he went up to touch the marble in the tomb of Jesus, he would be asking for trouble, and he might arouse public anger.

Only an idiot would do such a stupid thing!

He stood a few meters away from the tomb, looking at this Christian holy place and admiring this ancient building with the gaze of a tourist and an expert on antique art appraisal.

At the same time, he also secretly turned on the perspective, thoroughly seeing through the place, not missing a single corner, including the tomb of Jesus!

When he visited other famous scenic spots and Christian holy places before, he did not give up the opportunity of secret perspective, and he had a perspective of every scenic spot and holy place he passed.

In the process, he discovered many things, and many secrets.

Among them are not only ancient historical sites, but also top-level antique artworks and treasures buried deep in the ground, as well as some very hidden and even ulterior secrets.

But it's a pity that he can only bury all these discoveries deep in his heart, and he can't announce any of them, let alone take those treasures and top antique artworks for himself.

Unless the Israeli government came to him that day and wanted to jointly explore the Old City of Jerusalem with him, these secrets could be made public, and those treasures and top antique works of art could be seen again.

However, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.

After thoroughly seeing through the Holy Tomb, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.

At this moment, a priest wearing a long robe walked up to Ye Tian, ​​and said in a low voice with a serious expression:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I'm Victor, a priest of the Armenian sect, nice to meet you here, welcome to the holy city of Jerusalem.

As far as I know, the goal of your visit to Jerusalem is the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I would like to ask, is the treasure of the Knights Templar buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque? "

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the priest next to him.
