My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 326 Reykjavik Cathedral
Coming out of Reykjavik's city hall, holding an unfamiliar real estate certificate, Han Qi was full of confusion.

It's okay to take a house for nothing.

I drove here in the morning, and Kevin's daughter came to pick them up in person. At first, she was a little suspicious that her father gave the tree house to strangers for free, but finally she knew that Han Qi was a celebrity, so she put aside this doubt.

Although the tree house has her childhood memories, she doesn't feel nostalgic, just worried that her father's despicable outlander will be cheated.

Giving a house to a rich stranger is more acceptable to her than giving it to a poor man.

Very enthusiastic to help with everything.

In less than half an hour, Han Qi had a house of his own in a place thousands of miles away from his motherland. It was a rare natural hut with a unique flavor on the market.

Kevin walked beside Han Qi.

Her daughter held his hand and comforted him: "Didn't you say it yourself, there are still many things you want to do, and now is just an opportunity."

"I'm not thinking about that, Lily."

Lily is Kevin's daughter. She is half a head taller than Kevin. She is in her 30s and less than [-] years old. She is a yoga teacher by profession and has a good figure. You can never know her real age just by looking at her appearance.

After Kevin spoke to his daughter, he waved his hand:

"Don't you have other things to do today? Let's go, I'll take Han Qi for a walk. Although I haven't been outside, I'm still very familiar with Reykjavik."

Han Qi smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you for more advice. This is a good time. Not only do I have time to chat with you, but I can also save a lot of money for hiring a tour guide."

Lily laughed twice and said:
“Having a tour guide in Reykjavik may not be of much use. Standing in any place and looking at it, you can see it across the house. Those taller buildings are our scenic spots, which are often visited by tourists. place."

Han Qi listened to her and looked up.

Sure enough, in this place where most of the houses have only two floors, and occasionally three floors, the taller buildings are as easy to be seen as if they stand out from the crowd.

"What is that?" Han Qi pointed to the tallest building on the left.

"Oh, that's..." Lily was interrupted by her old father before she could say anything.

"Let's go, go and get busy with your affairs. I will naturally take care of Han here. I'm his tour guide today. Don't I tell him that it's a cathedral?"

Kevin had a rare temper tantrum in front of his daughter.

Han Qi felt that this scene was very warm, with a sincere smile on his face.

He likes to see such a scene.

"Okay, then I'm leaving, Dad, and Han, see you later, maybe we will come to live in your tree house."

"This word can't be used here, use us." Han Qi raised his finger, pointing out the mistakes of the students like a rigid teacher.

"Haha." Lily left happily.

"A wonderful girl, isn't she?"

"Of course, I have always been proud of having such a daughter." Kevin quickly recovered his smiling face after his daughter left, and it was not the kind smile he showed when chatting with Han Qi, but a hearty smile. laughter.

Coming out of the city hall is a small lake in Reykjavik, which is also the only lake in the city, and a square was built along the water next to it.Tourists come and go here, the flow of people is like weaving, or they sit on the benches to rest their feet, or stand by the water, leaning on the guardrail to feed the water birds flying from the sky.

"Do you want to go play?"

"No, I'm not interested in feeding the birds. Instead, I like watching them work hard on their own."

These wild animals are not anyone's pets, and there is no need to feed them anything.Today you come to feed a little bit, and leave tomorrow, and then someone comes to feed a little bit, and then leave again the next day.

And the wild animals being fed are used to the days of flying here every day for food, so will they still practice the ability to hunt for food?

In this way, when the scenic spot is closed, won't a large number of waterfowl here starve to death?

Han Qi has always felt that humans are a disaster to animals.

No matter what kind of animal, as long as it is found to be profitable by humans, it can't escape.Throughout the ages, it is unknown how many animals died for such illusory reasons, and then became endangered animals and gradually became extinct.

He explained the reason to the old man, and Kevin was happy: "That's not as scary as you said? You think too much, we are just ordinary people. And if you don't look at birds, then what are you looking at?" ?”

Han Qi glanced over there a few more times.

A woman who is also very well dressed in the current season is holding up the bread in her hands with her female friends, laughing happily.

"Oh!!!" Kevin understood.

Han Qi said, "You don't understand."

"I'm 62, Han."

Kevin wants to use his age to remind Han Qi of his status. The stories he has experienced may be many times more than Han Qi. He is even the owner of a hotel in the mountains for decades. Many guests When drinking at night, I like to discuss with myself what is happening around me.

Can I not understand the love and love of your young people?This is absolutely impossible.

And there's nothing wrong with liking to look at girls, but you can't like to look at boys.

Han Qi shook his head and looked back: "It is because you are 62 years old that I say you don't understand."

"Um……"

Kevin was suddenly caught by Galen's silence and stopped talking.

They are now walking on a road from the city hall to the square. This is an old arch bridge. It is a little different from the surrounding style, but it is very beautiful. Many people still take pictures on it. The church was also photographed.

Han Qi recalled the previous events, and asked again: "What's the name of that church, it looks very special."

"Real name?" Kevin was stumped.

In the past, it was always called the cathedral. When chatting with friends, the cathedral is long and the cathedral is short. When you are dating, you say "wait for you at the door of the church", and the person on the other end of the phone will know where to find someone. .

For such a familiar place, the name should be very profound, but Kevin found that he didn't remember it at all.

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Kevin suddenly called out an unfamiliar name.

"Halgrimmel Peterson!!
I think I know the name of this church!
Hallgrim's Church must be this one. I seem to have heard that it was named after a writer in our country. I thought about it several times and finally guessed it! ! "

"Who is this? Are his books good-looking?"

Han Qi wants to buy a copy to read, to pass the time while learning Icelandic.

Kevin shook his head and said: "I can't say it's a good-looking one. To be precise, Halgrimmel is a poet who has been dead for hundreds of years, but his poems have laid the foundation of our Icelandic literature. admirer."

"I understand."

A writer with profound influence in Iceland.

For some reason, Mr. Lu Xun appeared in Han Qi's mind. This person should have laid the foundation of modern Chinese literature, right?And these people have one characteristic, that is, they speak very philosophically.

It's like having studied philosophy specifically.

For example.

"Chinese people always like to make compromises. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you propose to tear down the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the window." window."

It seems that I have to buy a book by this writer to read and analyze the differences between the two writers.

After crossing this bridge, the square is in front of it, and next to it is a street that walks out of the square to the road.

Kevin asked:
"Han, where do you want to go? Let me tell you first, I am not very familiar with Reykjavik. Although I live here, I really rarely come to the streets of Tromso. "

Han Qi pointed to the tall church.

"Let's go, as long as we can see the church, we don't have to worry or be afraid."

Even if you get lost and can't find the place, just go to the church and you will be able to return to the center of Reykjavik.

"Then let's go see this church first?" Han Qi suggested.

"Okay, I just happened to see Father Dennis too."

Han Qi had heard from him before that his father was a priest, and now Kevin still knows the priest of this church. Could it be that Kevin's father was the priest of this church before?

Reykjavik is not very big, and none of the two asked to go by car, so they both walked.

From time to time, Han Qi raised his camera to take pictures of the scenery on the road.

The streets in the city are not wide, and the streets in the old city have distinct latitude and longitude, which can sometimes give people an antique feeling.

The city is well planned and not as cluttered as ancient cities in other countries.There are no skyscrapers here, and all the residential buildings are small and exquisite, with two or three floors, with special styles and different colors.

Some roofs are green, some are yellow, and of course there are red.

As he got closer to the church, Han Qi felt more and more familiar with the church, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Is it a movie?
television?

Han Qi couldn't hear what Kevin said at all, and soon, Han Qi froze the church and the scene in an anime in his mind.

"Frozen"?
In this movie, Princess Elsa waved her hand, and a crystal palace made of ice and snow appeared in the sky-filled university. The palace looks like the church in Reykjavik today.

When he got to the bottom of the church, Han Qi looked up at the roof of the church.

At the top is the clock tower.

From the window, Han Qi can see the big clock inside, and below the window is the kind of clock that is very common in European and American clock towers.

The gray-white basalt columns on both sides descended along the trend. They piled up layer by layer from short to long, from both sides to the center, and concentrated in the middle of the two wings of the church in a stretched and gentle arc, and then the slope suddenly became steeper, reaching 72 meters in the center. Tall bell tower.This seemingly monotonous building forms a magnificent whole.

"What are you looking at?" Kevin asked seeing Han Qi not moving.

"I'm listening to music."

The whole building is like a pipe organ. The two sides of the church are the strings of the pipe organ. This is also the design concept of this church. The designer designed this way to erect a beautiful pipe organ in Iceland.

Kevin was happy that Han Qi understood the design of the church so quickly, but soon he realized that what Han Qi said about listening to songs might not mean that the church looks like an organ.

A singer was singing a song not far from the two of them.

Isn't Han listening to this man singing?
Han Qi's actions quickly verified his thoughts. Kevin saw Han Qi turn around and walk towards the singer, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took a 2000 kroner bill from it.

When Han Qi came back happily, he saw the little old man frowning tightly.

"Kevin, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Why did you suddenly give that singer two thousand crowns? Aren't you a singer yourself? He sings very well?"

The two walked towards the church, Han Qi shook his head and replied: "No, or his singing is not professional, but I don't care about that. What I care about is that he is singing my song, which makes me very happy."

It was the first time he heard someone cover his own song abroad.

Things on the Internet can't bring people real feelings, even the most real thing in the world, money.Even money, which is always real, will become unreal once it is labeled on the Internet and turned into a bunch of numbers.

Moreover, the exchange rate of the Icelandic krona is very low. One dollar of Huaxia coins can be exchanged for twenty kronor, and the two thousand krona are only 100 yuan.

Enter the church.

The hall is the same as many churches outside, the content is similar, but the details are different.

Kevin said, "Then you sit and rest on the first floor, and I'll go to meet an old friend first."

"it is good."

Han Qi nodded.

He is researching how this house is different from other churches.

In terms of the authenticity of European churches, there must be no place comparable to Rome, Italy. There are thousands of churches and monasteries in the city of Rome, and the Vatican in the city is a holy place for all believers.

The church decorations over there are very solemn, but this cathedral in Iceland is not like this.

The church has a good sense of spatial depth and looks very comfortable.

The arched arc top is high and transparent, with good light, and the interior does not have the complicated decoration and mysterious colors of European churches, which only gives people a feeling of simplicity and pure beauty.

There are no gorgeous carvings, no colorful glass windows, and an almost plain and undecorated space, making the church look like a wise man isolated from the world.The wide church square is spliced ​​by limestone and floor tiles into a rough and simple pattern, matching this tall church, exuding a cool temperament.

These things can bring a refreshing feeling to Han Qi.

Han Qi studied the excellent parts, and didn't feel the passage of time, only felt that Kevin's voice sounded in his ears soon.

"Han, Han, what's wrong with you?"

Han Qi looked back at Kevin, lowered his head and smiled, then shook his head and said, "I was fascinated by a house. It's really beautiful here. Although it was a building hundreds of years ago, it has a modern feel."

"Thank you for your compliment." A voice sounded from the side.

Only then did Kevin introduce Han Qi.

"This is the priest of the church, Dennis, a friend I have known for many years. Dandis, this is Han I am talking about, a traveler from the East. You have to take care of him, he has too many friends in China Followers."
