Chapter 105

After seeing Andre off, Langdon answers three boring questions at tibin's door, and William and his wife hear: "welcome to Villette, Professor Langdon.".

When they entered Villette, William saw an old man with crutches in both hands and white hair standing on the stairs of the manor and said to them, "welcome to Villette, I'm ray tibin, the owner here"

Langdon said, "I haven't seen tibin for a long time. Let me introduce you to Sophie and this is William Devonshire"

"Sophie, William, This is Sir ray Teabing "

after coming down on crutches and shaking hands with Sophie, Teabing said to William," famous Devonshire, William, I met you. When you were only five or six years old, Henry and I used to have afternoon tea together when we were in England "

William heard that Teabing and his grandfather knew each other very well and said," Hello, sir Nice to meet you, sir.

after smiling at William, tibin said to Langdon, "count tea?"

Langdon nodded with a smile and said: "it's better to add a slice of lemon"

"OK, I'll take you to the restaurant. Let's have a drink and have something to eat. It's almost dawn now"

everyone came to the restaurant. After three people had tea, tibin said: "it must be very important for you to come to me late at night. Let's talk about what I can do for you."

Langdon said to tibin, "we want to ask you about the Priory."

"custodians or code wars?" Tibin said that

Langdon didn't know whether to confess today's matter to tibin. He hesitated for a moment and saw that tibin was waiting for him to speak. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell tibin, "sorry, tibin, we are so abrupt, but we have something we can't understand. We need your help to find clues and solve some secrets."

"You? It's hard to understand, "tibin immediately understood." it seems that you've found something out of me, Langdon. We're friends. You know I've been looking for the hermit. You're not really friends. ".

"Well, my fault, I'm here to see you now," Langdon said.

"well, that's all. I can only accept your apology, but next time Langdon has a chance to find a secret, please call me, the Priory, so to speak." tibin thought about it and said:

"the Priory, formerly the Zion order and the Templar order, was killed more than 600 years ago The rest of the members of the society were scholars, professors, artists and nobles. Tibin looked at the ring on William's hand, such as the Devonshire family, who have been members of the society for generations.

tibin turned to William and asked him, "why does the Devonshire family, which William has never participated in any activities of the society, show up here now"

"I don't know. I'm here to find out. I found some letters in my grandfather's belongings. He asked me to go to Professor sonier, but Professor sonier was killed before he came and told me," William said.

"well, it seems that your grandfather took all the secrets he knew to the grave in order to protect you. The Priory usually consists of four people, one elder The old three elders are the main guardians of the Holy Grail, and only these four people know where the Holy Grail is. "

Tibin looked at his valet and said, "thank you, Remy. It's none of your business.".

When the footman heard this, he went out, and tibin said, "the members of the Priory are all over the world.".

"Philip hilsey declared in 1967 that it was a lie," Langdon said.

"Ha, that's what the hermits want you to believe. Many ancient secret organizations in modern society have to do everything they can to cheat the people to protect their secrets. Langdon, you can't be fooled by these little tricks.".

Tibin teased Langdon with a smile. After the meeting, he said, "the Priory has only one task, which is to protect the biggest secret in the history of the world"

Sophie said with a smile: "the source of light God's power in the world?" They heard that from Langdon.

Tibin immediately said, "no, this is a wrong statement. What the hermits really protect is the Holy See's source of power in this world - faith, not God of light.".

William said, "what does that have to do with the Grail?"

Tibin said, "yes, the Grail, William, to understand the Grail, you need to understand the Bible of light first. The Bible of light is not faxed to us by the God of light from heaven. The Bible of light as we know it now comes from the pagan Emperor Constantine.".

"Constantine, how is this possible? In my opinion, Constantine is a believer of light," Sophie said.

"no, he was a pagan all his life. He was baptized on the corpse bed. Since ancient times, his people have been worshiping the gods and goddesses of nature, but during the reign of Constantine, there were more and more believers of light and worshipping the gods and goddesses of nature There was a massive conflict between the believers.

Constantine was a pragmatic man. When the situation became more and more tense, he decided to unify all religions in his country and set up only one religion, namely, the Illuminati. At that time, the Illuminati occupied the majority of the population. In order not to let his empire fall apart, he held a very famous meeting of Illuminati, the Grand Council of Nicaea.After William and Sophie thought about it, tibin said, "in this meeting, there was a heated debate and vote among the different sects of the Church of light, voting to adopt the Gospels, the date of Easter, the contents of the sacraments and the Theocracy of the God of light"

Sophie said, "I don't understand why we need to determine the Theocracy of the God of light"

tibin said, "dear Love, Sophie, until that meeting, God of light was regarded by many believers as a great prophet and a great man with profound influence. At that time, he was just a mortal, a mortal "

Langdon explained with a smile:" some believers think God of light is a mortal, some believers think he is a God. ".

"Isn't it true that the God of light is the son of the God of creation?" William asked.

"haha, he's not even a grandson of God." tibin sneered.

William said with a smile: "so the Theocracy of the God of light was voted out"

"yes, William, you have to remember that God was everywhere in that era, and Constantine injected theocracy into the God of light He turned the God of light into a God, and there was only one religion under Constantine's rule, so the God of light basically defeated all other religions and gods, "tibin said

speaking of this, Langdon retorted," no, I don't agree with you. I don't think Constantine had the right to create the God of light, he just used it "The belief that has been widely spread and accepted by the people has been recognized by the law"

"it's just a different statement," tibin said.

"no, it's not the same. You distort the facts to support your theory," retorted Langdon.

"but the fact is that for many believers, the God of light is sometimes God and sometimes man." tibin said angrily, "but more The believers firmly believe that he is the God, "Langdon said.

tibin said angrily," nonsense, they even issued a formal order to establish his theocracy, and it's ridiculous that even the Nicaea conference has ambiguity within the Church of light. "

Sophie saw that Langdon and tibin were about to quarrel, which made her think of her grandfather's death. She said: "just because of the dispute over whether the God of light is a God or a man, how many people have died for this in the past few thousand years"

after a moment's silence, tibin said: "because there is only one supreme God in the world, some people use the name of God to exercise their power Killing. "

We have nothing to say about his words, because history has proved his words for us.
