Chapter 745: 3 floors underground

? This St. Williams Metropolitan Cathedral is indeed a Christian church, so although this church looks much larger than the Catholic church of San Fernando from the outside, the interior decoration of this church is better than that The Catholic Church is much simpler.

   After all, because of the difference in doctrine, the interior decoration of Catholic churches and Christian churches are also very different.

But in any case, Catholicism and Christianity, or Protestantism, belong to Christianity, but in China, Protestantism is called "Christianity" because of translation. In fact, Catholicism should be called "Roma Catholicism". As for the three major Christianity, Another genre is the Orthodox Church.

   In fact, the interior decoration of the church can tell the difference between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. The interior decoration of Roman Catholic or Catholic churches is mostly magnificent, whether it is walls, glass or domes, there are colorful paintings everywhere.

In contrast, the interior decoration of Protestant churches is much simpler. It is said that this is because they are worried that the believers will be distracted by the gorgeous interior decoration of the church and cannot fully believe in Christ Jesus. Therefore, the interior decoration of the church is made very much. simple.

   In addition, the person in charge of a Catholic church is usually called a priest, while the person in charge of a Protestant church is usually called a priest.

   But these two types of churches also have something in common, that is, the tomb of the church.

   Whether it is Catholic or Protestant, the relationship between churches and burial chambers can be roughly divided into three categories. The first relationship is that the cemetery is outside the church, the second is that the tomb is in the basement below the church, and the third is that the coffin is placed directly on the floor of the church.

The first type of burial chambers mostly bury ordinary believers; the second type of burial chambers mostly bury important figures among believers; as for the third type, the coffins are placed directly on the floor of the church. , It is an extremely important person who has made a great contribution to the church, and it is possible to enjoy this kind of honor after death.

   Of course, not all churches have crypts. Some churches that were built very early, because of the limitations of the construction technology or local conditions at that time, it was impossible to build a crypt under the church. This is the case with the Catholic Church in San Fernando, for example.

As for this St. Williams Metropolitan Cathedral, one is because the construction time is only a century later, and the construction technology has long been no problem. Therefore, there is a large and deep crypt underneath the church. , There are three floors, nearly ten meters deep.

   Even Yang Jing, after entering the crypt of this cathedral, couldn't help being a little surprised by the magnificence of this church. We must know that this church was built around 1900. Such a huge three-story basement was able to be built more than 100 years ago, and the Philippines is still a country with many earthquakes. This church has been able to remain intact for more than 100 years. This has to be said to be a miracle.

   Chris completed his task perfectly. In fact, it is very simple to complete such a task. No matter what the reason, it can't match the promised large sum of money.

Chris just talked about his thoughts with the great pastor here, and then promised that if the church allowed his predecessors’ ashes to be buried in the crypt, then he would donate 300,000 US dollars to the church, but he needs to go down and take a look. Look at this crypt.

   Money can make Mo Tuigui. Although the 300,000 dollars has not yet been obtained, even the promised 300,000 dollars immediately asked the great priest to allow Chris to take two people down to see the crypt.

   This is 300,000 U.S. dollars, which is almost half of the donation that this church receives in a year! How can such a big benefactor easily offend? Don't you just go down and take a look, what's that? Below are all places where the coffins are in full bloom. What's so gloomy about?

   So the great priest sent someone to lead Chris, the big gold master, into the crypt. Of course, Yang Jing followed Chris as an entourage this time.

   There is still a big gap between the thinking of Westerners and that of Easterners. For example, they have completely different views on the cemetery.

   In the thinking of the Orientals, especially the Chinese, the better the cemetery, the difference between yin and yang, the living should not be too close to the dead, or something big will happen.

   In the eyes of Westerners, the cemetery is a sacred place. Most Westerners build their houses near the cemetery just to get the blessing of their ancestors. In the church, the tomb was built directly under the floor of the church.

   Although Yang Jing didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he grew up in China and heard many stories about ghosts and gods. If he didn't believe in gods, he suddenly entered such a gloomy crypt, and he couldn't help but stand up a little.

The basement is a masonry structure. The thick masonry pillars form a series of arches. These dense arches bear the responsibility of supporting the weight of the building above, and the four walls of the basement are not ground with cement as Yang Jing imagined. A good wall is also a brick wall.

This makes Yang Jing feel very strange. The cathedral itself is located by the river. It is said that the underground water level should be very high. If the basement is built in such a place, if the waterproofing treatment is not done, the basement will have appeared long ago. The groundwater was submerged.

   But nothing happened here, even in the third basement, which is more than ten meters underground, except that it felt very humid and cold, but there were no water stains in the basement.

   "Is it because there are waterproof measures inside the wall?" Yang Jing thought for a while, then shook his head, severing the idea of ​​thinking about it again. He is not an architectural expert, and he is not here to study the structure of the basement of this church. He is here to hunt for treasure. If you don't understand these messy things, you can't understand it.

Like the upper two floors, the basement of the third floor is full of densely packed masonry shelves. On these masonry shelves are placed sarcophagi one by one, and each sarcophagus has a coffin lid. Carved in the shape of a person, Yang Jing knows that this humanoid sculpture is actually the posture in the coffin before his life.

   The cathedral occupies a large area, so the area of ​​the crypt is not small. It is estimated that there are hundreds of these sarcophagi on each floor.

   So many sarcophagi are densely placed together, and in conjunction with the damp and cold air here, there is really a shuddering rush...

If it were in normal times, Yang Jing wouldn’t be able to come to this kind of place full of food, but this time he came here for another purpose, so he simply stopped focusing his attention on these sarcophagi, but instead Baoguang walked to the spot where he emerged.

The pastor who came down with him went back on the second floor under the pretext of having something to do. It seems that even the pastor of the church is not willing to come to this place, and it is estimated that this pastor is well aware of the following situation, except for the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus. It's not worth seeing at all, even if he doesn't need to follow these three people, he doesn't worry that these three people will cause any trouble below.

This pastor did not follow, which greatly facilitated Yang Jing’s actions, so after arriving on the third floor, he only delayed slightly and walked to a corner located in the northeast corner of the basement, because that piece of treasure was from this The location popped up.

   This church has existed for more than a hundred years, so the sarcophagus in the basement has long been full, even in the northeast corner of the third floor.

   But when he got here, Yang Jing could clearly see where Baoguang emerged. To Yang Jing's surprise, these treasures were not placed in the sarcophagus as he had guessed, but they were actually inside the walls!

   Obviously, after the little devil occupied Laoag, this most luxurious church naturally became an important stronghold for the little devil. However, after the little devils surrendered, the treasures that were too late to be taken away were hidden by the little devils in the basement of this cathedral.

However, in order to prevent these treasures from being discovered by others, the little devil did not store the treasures in the sarcophagi, but in the northeast corner of the third floor of the basement, he cut through the walls of the basement and dug an additional basement. , And then put the treasure in, sealing the wall of the basement from the outside.

   In this way, there is a sarcophagus and a wall as a cover outside. It is estimated that no one would have thought that there are still a lot of treasures hidden in this location!

   If Yang Jing didn't have the Sky Eye skill, he found those light leaks, otherwise he would not think that there would be treasures hidden in such a place!

   can only say that the little devil is cunning and cunning!

   Obviously, those little devils knew very well that even if they were defeated, the Americans would not have any doubts about this kind of ancient church after they re-accepted the Philippines. Because of their faith, it is too late for the Americans to protect these churches, so how can they destroy these churches? Therefore, it is safest to hide treasures under the home church.

   It is estimated that there are not a few little devils who have this idea, otherwise, under the Catholic Church in San Fernando, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com will not bury a lot of treasures.

   The treasures hidden under these two churches were not discovered by the Americans. Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the fact that the information of these two hidden locations has not been leaked. Yang Jing is even sure that the little devil who was defeated in the war would definitely not say such hidden locations. After all, this kind of place However, there are a large number of hidden treasures, most likely to be collected from several places and hidden in one piece.

   This kind of hidden place, even for the little devil's high-level figures, probably knows very little.

   I just don’t know how Alfred got such exact news back then, and even marked out the coordinates.

   It's a pity that Alfred, the leader of the DuPont family's three great ZTE masters, spent a lot of hard work to figure out these eight hidden locations. He did not have time to dig out, but in the end all of them were cheaper than Yang Jing.

"There are a lot of treasures buried in the grounds of two churches in the eight locations. Does that mean that there were more than these two churches where the little devil buried treasures? Maybe in Manila, Batangas, Davao, Cebu, etc. There are also a lot of treasures buried in the underground of some churches in the city? Well, the possibility is still very high. Then should we wait for the opportunity to go to the churches in those big cities to have a look?"

   Yang Jing stroked his chin and thought, the corners of his mouth also tilted up slightly...

  PS: I would like to thank you for the reward of 500 for "I gave the hand for the first kiss", and 100 for the reward of "Very Lazy Fish" and "Xiaoyuer 62".
