Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 110 Two Worlds
The story of the resurrection of Jesus is engraved on the wall. I don't know whether the material is metal or wood.The statues are in colour, but due to age they have changed from light to dark.

Religious buildings are always repaired with special solemnity, such as the Potala Palace, and the same is true of Notre Dame de Paris.

"Excuse me, are you looking at these sculptures?"

A priest asked Ye Kai with some pamphlets. He had a tall hairline, gray hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a smiling face, and a strange affinity.

"Correct."

"God, your French is really good. What country are you from? China, or an island country? South Korea?"

"Huaxia."

"Huaxia?" He said in Chinese: "Huaxia is very good. I like Huaxia very much. I once lived in Yanjing for a while, which is near Hongju Street... What's your name?"

"Ye Kai." Ye Kai said.

The priest, like many foreigners, likes to gesture with his hands when speaking, matching his tone of voice.

"Ye Kai, um...here's this for you." He took out a manual and said. "It introduces the history of some artworks in Notre Dame. I think you need this, but please return it to us before you leave..."

Ye Kai just needed it, and thanked him: "Thank you, Father."

"You're welcome, the church will hold a special celebration later, I hope you won't leave here so soon."

"I'll wait and watch." Ye Kai replied.

Leaving the priest, Ye Kai continued to stroll slowly alone. With the handbook, it was much easier for Ye Kai to understand these religious objects. The handbook is in Chinese characters, which is why the priest asked about his nationality.

After Ye Kai finished viewing the artworks along the road, he arrived at the choir.

There is a wooden fence under the stage where the choir sings. There are about twenty children on the stage, the oldest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only about ten years old.

The conductor of the choir is an Indian, but hearing his authentic French, he should be an Indian who has lived in France for many years, or was born in France.

Ye Kai has never heard hymns before, it is different from any other music form outside, this multi-part composite singing method, combined with the sculptures and angels in the surrounding buildings, makes this singing method extremely sacred.

Some of the people watching the choir were holding mobile phones or video cameras to take pictures, but some were devout believers who were praying with their hands folded and silently reciting some words from the Bible.

In order to watch the celebration that the priest said, Ye Kai stopped here for a long time.

It was about 10:30, and the tourists gradually gathered together. Maybe they didn't know why they gathered here, but seeing that most people did this, they also wanted to come and see what would happen.

The same is true for Ye Kai. Seeing the crowd gathering gradually, he knew that the celebration that the priest said had arrived.

The man in the suit rang the bell three times.Then, a group of missionaries came out slowly from the ramp, and the leader was swinging left and right with a lifter.Like swinging a pocket watch during hypnosis.

The mention furnace is about the size of two fists, the chain is one meter long, and the smoke is everywhere, exuding a charming fragrance.

The taste of this incense is very different from the Chinese sandalwood.

Behind him were three missionaries who came out side by side. The person in the center was holding a beautiful cross, and the people on both sides were holding long white candles. Behind him were five missionaries in black robes.

Ye Kai didn't know why they wore black robes, they should all be white?Seeing these people, Ye Kai thought of a zombie movie about Uncle Nine, in which there was a vampire wearing such a black robe.

They walked through the crowd to the choir and took out a crown from the box. At this time, all the believers bowed their heads and prayed, and only tourists were still taking pictures with great interest.

Ye Kai felt that he might have forgotten something...

This crown is likely to be one of the sacred objects of Christianity, so these believers will be so solemn.The missionary holding the crown carefully places it on a wooden board.

There is also a large holy grail on the wooden board. The holy grail is exquisitely shaped and gilded all over.Four missionaries lifted the board steadily and placed it on their shoulders.

The bell rang three more times.

The man with the stove continued to walk in front, followed by the man with the candle and the man who carried the plank. They walked around the tourists and stopped on the platform of the church.

The believers began to line up. They held their breaths and stepped forward to kiss the crown. The missionary held a silk scarf and wiped it on the crown after the believers kissed.

Most tourists will not miss this rare experience, stepping up to kiss the crown one after another.

Ye Kaixin was thinking, if this thing can be sold, how much should it be sold for?
Probably more than one villa, right?

My own system is obsessed with domestic religions. If domestic religions also take out sacred objects for me to touch, maybe I can get one or two skills.

When the sun is able to shine down from directly above, it's time for lunch.

Ye Kai walked out of Notre Dame Cathedral and walked slowly towards the Pont Neuf, feeling the warmth of the sun along the way.

When going down the stairs, Ye Kai saw a familiar figure, and Ye Kai met the girl whom he met twice yesterday.

She was wearing a black jacket and jeans, her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was sitting quietly on the steps reading a book. Ye Kai glanced at her as she passed by, and it seemed to be Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past". .

This staircase is the only way Notre Dame de Paris leads to the Pont Neuf. There are many pedestrians passing by, but the noise from the outside world cannot enter her quiet world at all.

A small ladder was actually divided into two worlds.

He involuntarily pressed the shutter, and the girl seemed to feel that someone was filming herself, she raised her head and looked at Ye Kai with a frown.

Ye Kai quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry."

He walked up to her and said, "I'm sorry that I took this photo without your permission, but my heart tells me that if I don't press the shutter at that moment, I will regret it for a long time."

"So..." Ye Kai shrugged and said, "I will give it to you when I make a picture, and I think you will like this picture too."

Ye Kai's photography skills have been improved twice by the system. Ye Kai doesn't know the specific level of operation, but he believes that every photo he takes has a unique beauty.

Now he no longer bothers to participate in photography competitions. It doesn't matter how many honors photography can bring him, the most important thing is the memories left by each work for Ye Kai.

Hearing Ye Kai's explanation, the girl frowned and said, "It's okay."

Ye Kai saw them yesterday at the Opera House. A girl who was familiar with the neighborhood was introducing the style and allusions of the Opera House to her. He met them in the restaurant at night.

This is the third time.
