Treasure Hunt all over the World

While turning his head to look at the Armenian sect monk beside him, Ye Tian also became alert deep in his heart, and a look of dread flashed in the depths of his eyes.

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

The Armenian sect was first established by Gregory to preach. 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 Telada III of Armenia established Christianity as the state religion, making Armenia the first Christian country in the world.

Unlike all other Christian sects that believe in the "Trinity" and "two attributes", the Armenian sect is an independent Christian church that believes in a single attribute and is independent of the mainstream Christian sect.

To put it simply, the Armenian sect does not agree with the leadership of the Vatican. The two have great differences in basic teachings, and it can even be said that they are completely different from each other.

Because of this huge difference, the Armenian sect was even considered a heresy in history and suffered very terrible persecution.

Compared with other mainstream Christian sects, the Armenian sect is also relatively radical, or more paranoid, which is why Ye Tian is secretly vigilant.

As an extremely important Christian holy place, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is mainly jointly 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 Roman Catholic Church, Greek Orthodox Church, Armenian Church, Syrian Orthodox Church, Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and Coptic Orthodox Church.

Among them, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Church, and the Roman Catholic Church, these three churches divided up most of the property of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

In history, in order to compete 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 bloody conflicts.

Until 1757, the International Arbitration Organization determined that the scope of the dispute at that time was taken as the permanent scope to delineate the areas under the jurisdiction of each church, and the specific properties belonged to that church.

It was roughly the equivalent of a truce, with every nail, candle, and stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre registered and divided between denominations and, in some cases, condominiums.

However, this paper agreement did not completely stop the conflicts among various churches.

The dispute over the control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is still ongoing, but not as intense as before.

One of the most famous conflicts was related to the Armenian church, which was a bloody case caused by a step.

Looking from the main entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the front yard belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church, while the stairs leading to the front yard 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 ceased.

In 1920, two priests were even killed.

In addition, outside the second-floor windows 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 already the case on the outside of the church, and it is getting worse inside the church. It is basically a crazy land grabbing movement, and there is no sign of stopping so far.

The result of the long-term struggle among various sects is that the key to the gate of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is in the hands of a prominent Arab family, and the Arab youth is responsible for opening the gate every morning.

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

This time, I am cooperating with the Holy See of the Vatican to form a joint exploration team to come to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, and the Armenian Church is not very good with the Vatican.

More importantly, according to legend, the treasure of the Knights Templar is related to the two holy relics of Christianity, the "Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant", which affects the nerves of every Christian believer. Do you dare to be careful?

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

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

Your information is very well informed. Our joint exploration team came to Jerusalem this time, aiming at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but we do not intend to conduct exploration operations here.

The reason is mainly because of the high sensitivity of Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. That is to say, we came to Jerusalem this time just to find clues.

Whether the Knights Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, I dare not jump to conclusions, from my personal point of view, I do not want the Knights Templar treasure to be buried there”

Hearing his words, Victor suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the monk in robes whispered:

"Mr Steven, whether or not the Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, or somewhere else, I would like you to remember one thing.

The Christian relics in the treasures of the Knights Templar belong to all Christian believers in the world and are of great significance, and they do not only belong to the Holy See of the Vatican."

"It is inconvenient for me to express any opinion on this point, Brother Victor, as you must know, I am an atheist, and I don't care about the ownership of the religious relics in the treasure.

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

Ye Tian said with a smile, expressing his position.

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

After chatting for a few more words, the senior monk of the Armenian Church left and went elsewhere.

After David and the others finished looking at the Holy Sepulcher and touched the marble in the Holy Sepulcher with their own hands, Ye Tian and the others also left the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and returned to the hotel not far away.

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

Jerusalem, which had been noisy all day, has calmed down. The heavy smell of gunpowder that filled the air before has gradually dissipated. The atmosphere of the whole city has become a little more relaxed, and it is not so tense.

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

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

After a few pleasantries, the Bishop of Kent got down to business.

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

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

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

"Great! As long as I enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque and take a look at the place where the Knights Templar once 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 exploration operation that will be launched tomorrow.

After he finished speaking, Leonardo immediately continued:

"Steven, Israel's Mossad has just notified us of some intelligence. 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 each sent a group to Jerusalem, followed closely behind us, and arrived in Jerusalem this afternoon. Obviously the visitor is not good.

Some derivative organizations of the Knights Templar, such as the Jesuits 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 keeping a close eye on, the Priory of Mount Sion, two of its important figures also appeared at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport today,..."

Hearing the news reported by Leonardo, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled.

They have already mastered these situations, and they know more and more details than Leonardo, and even more than Israel Mossad!

"Wow! There are so many people here, it's so exciting! This treasure hunt has just begun, and it's so exciting. It's amazing! I like such scenes, it's so exciting, isn't it!"

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