Chapter 2263： Numbers of immortality

In the course of the following exploration, everyone successively discovered seven metal objects buried deep underground. The chirping of the pulsed metal detector continued to ring one after another, which sounded exceptionally pleasing.

After Ye Tian's careful analysis, the seven locations where metal objects were buried were also the tombs of the Templars, and the metal signals came from the entire set of knight equipment draped on them.

These Templar knights who had died more than seven or eight hundred years ago were buried in the ground more than two meters deep, not only fully armed, but also neatly arranged.

They were buried on the left and right sides of the church, four on each side, one-to-one correspondence, the distance to the middle aisle of the church was exactly the same, and they lined up from the entrance of the church to the front of the altar.

This orderly burial method looks like a sacrifice, fully armed, and like two teams of knights guarding the crucifix on the altar.

Ye Tian had no intention of digging the graves of these Templar knights.

Even if these tombs of the Templars are treasures everywhere, the special identities of the Templars and the weapons and equipment on them are also valuable antique relics, which are worthy of historical research!

Of course, what really prompted Ye Tian to make the decision to abandon the excavation was the result he saw through perspective.

Under the perspective, the situation in the tombs of these Templar knights had already been clearly seen by him, without missing anything.

In these tombs of the Templar knights, he did not see any priceless antiques, only piles of rusty Templar equipment, and a few relatively ordinary antiques.

In the previous operations of exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar, Ye Tian has obtained a lot of Templar equipment and antique artifacts like this, and he is not very interested.

In his private exhibition hall of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the "Kings and Knights" exhibition hall contains many antiques of this type, and any one of these collections is much stronger than those in the tombs of the Templars.

In addition, there is another reason. He intends to present the antique relics in the tombs of the eight Templar knights as gifts to the Portuguese, to give the Portuguese some sweetness, to improve the relationship between the two parties and facilitate the next work.

In fact, the Portuguese archaeologist who supervised the church site had two eyes already red, and the whole person was excited.

This buddy wished to start immediately, dig directly into the ground and unearth the coffins of the Templars buried deep underground, so as to find out.

For him, this is a great opportunity that fell from the sky and should not be missed!

After checking and analyzing the metal signals fed back from the eighth tomb of the Templars, Ye Tian couldn't help falling into contemplation, and turned to look at the crucifix on the altar.

After pondering a little, he said:

"Father Ramirez, Sister Sofia, do you know where the statue originally placed here has gone? This marble statue on the altar should have been carved in the late eighteenth century.

The eight tombs of the Templars that have just been detected, their location, arrangement, and burial posture in full armor all have their own meanings, they should be guarding something.

If the prediction is correct, the things guarded by the long-dead Templar knights should be the statues that were originally placed here, but what exactly the statue is, I don’t know."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at the marble statue on the altar, full of doubt and curiosity.

After a moment of contemplation, Father Ramirez said:

"Steven, according to records, there was also a crucifix on this altar in the church. No one knows whether it is the same as the current statue. Let's check the information later.

In the mid-eighteenth century, there was a violent earthquake in Lisbon. The crucifix that was originally placed on the altar fell from the altar, smashed to pieces, and then cleared out of the church.

A few decades later, in the late eighteenth century, the church hired a small Lisbon sculptor to carve this crucifix and place it on this altar until now"

"That's really a shame. The crucifix that shattered must have been made by a famous artist, and it is likely to hide some important secret, which has a special meaning, but we can't see it anymore!"

Ye Tian sighed lightly, slightly regretful.

As soon as the voice fell, David continued to say:

"Steven, what's so peculiar about these eight Templar knights buried deep underground? Why do you say that they are buried here have a deep meaning? Can you tell everyone?"

Following David's remarks, everyone looked at Ye Tian to see what explanation he would give.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:

"First of all, after acquiring the territory of Tomar in the mid-twelfth century, under the leadership of Guardim Pais, it was quickly built into a religious shrine exclusively owned by the Knights Templar.

This main church became the place where the Knights Templar held secret religious ceremonies, and it was of special significance. In the process of building the church, Guardim used much of his knowledge here.

Among them are some mysterious and profound knowledge closely related to the Knights Templar, and even some knowledge of supernatural and numerology. These eight tombs of the Templars are the best explanation.

In the knowledge system of the Knights Templar, the number eight has a very special meaning. In fact, this number represents eternal life, and the oath of membership of the Knights Templar contains only eight creeds.

If a Templar is found guilty of atonement, he must spend eight days of penance for atonement; because of this, I would say that the existence of these eight Templar tombs is of great significance."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked at Father Ramirez and Sister Sofia to see how they would react.

"Steven is right. The number eight is very special in the knowledge system of the Knights Templar, and it does mean immortality. You can also see such words in some historical documents of our church."

Father Ramirez nodded and said, confirming Ye Tian's previous explanation.

Next, we discussed the eight tombs of the Templars for a while.

While we were talking, there was a sudden scream from the pulse metal detector from behind the altar, still so beautiful,

Immediately afterwards, Jason's voice came over, his tone full of surprises.

"Steven, come and take a look behind the altar. We are under the granite floor here. We have detected the signal of a metal object. The depth of the ground is about three meters.

From the analysis of the detected metal signals, this time it was not the tomb of a certain Templar in the Middle Ages. Maybe it was the treasure of the Templars we were looking for. That would be great! "

Following Jason's words, everyone in the church turned their heads to look at the altar, and everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

Unfortunately, the tall altar completely blocked Jason and the others, so naturally everyone couldn't see anything.

"Everyone, let's go and take a look and see what Jason and the others have discovered, whether it is a famous treasure of the Knights Templar!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and reached out and made a please gesture.

Afterwards, everyone walked over to the altar.

Within a few steps, everyone had bypassed the altar and came to the back of the altar.

The space here is quite narrow, no more than two meters wide. It is a narrow passage with walls on both sides and a solemn altar on the other.

Jason and the others were standing in this passage, scanning the ground with a pulsed metal detector, and the chirping of the metal detector continued to be heard, like a natural sound.

The first time they came here, Ye Tian looked at the ground Jason and the others were exploring.

The granite floor is still paved here, both new and old. The old one was paved when the church was built in the twelfth century, and the new one was replaced over the centuries!

On the old granite floor Ye Tian once again saw the unique mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar, and they were several mysterious symbols that had never been seen before.

After quickly scanning the situation on the ground, he looked at the pulse metal detector monitor in Jason's hand to check and analyze the metal signals scanned by the metal detector.

In a moment, he nodded affirmatively and said:

"Yes, the metal objects buried under these granite floors, judging from the length, width, and posture, are not Templar knights wearing a full set of weapons and equipment.

These metal objects are more concentrated and denser, and they are likely to be packed in a few boxes. Guys, maybe we really found the treasure of the Knights Templar! "

Before the voice was over, the scene was boiling.

"Wow! Great!"

Cheers suddenly sounded, resounding throughout the church.
