Chapter 898 Demolition of the Bible
The notebook left by Martin Bowman has about a hundred pages, not many, but definitely not a small number. It is densely packed with things written by Martin Bowman.
The contents I wrote were almost certain insights about the Bible, but these insights were not in the order of the Bible. It seemed that when Martin Bauman wrote these insights, he did not consider the order, but wrote wherever he saw them.
For example, the content on the first page of the notebook is not written in the Torah - Genesis, but in the sense of a certain clip of 2 Kings. Moreover, all the content in this notebook is almost like this, without any order.
Since it is written with a pen, there will inevitably be changes, so there are signs of changes on almost every page on the notebook, and these traces of changes are quite interesting. Martin Baumann did not use horizontal lines or diagonal lines to cross out the wrong words, but used lines with arrows to cross out the wrong words.
Moreover, some of these lines with arrows are to the right, some are to the left, and some are to the downward and some are to the upward. Of course, there are also lines without arrows, but the number is very small.
At the beginning, the group of people gathered together for a long time, but they couldn't figure out why. The order was messed up, and they used lines with arrows to cross out some wrong words. These were obviously very abnormal. They also studied them for a long time, but in the end they could only come up with a Martin. This guy, Bauman, has a different mindset than that of normal people, so this is a confusing phenomenon.
But equally, if you can't figure out these questions, Yang Jing and the others can't figure out what secrets are hidden in this notebook.
Now, the boss actually said that there is a way to crack it, how can these people be unhappy?
Yang Jing said to Chris: "Chris, bring the Bibles donated by Martin Bowman to the church, and we have to study this problem carefully."
Chris nodded, turned around and walked out of the room. After a while, he walked in with three Bibles of different styles and sizes.
These three Bibles are the Bible. Old Testament, the Bible. New Testament, and the New Testament, which consists of the New Testament and the Old Testament.
Chris placed these three books on the coffee table and asked, "Boss, do you think the secrets in the notebook are related to these three Bibles? But we thought about it for a long time, but we just couldn't think of any connection between them."
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, if it weren't for what the helicopter pilot said today, I wouldn't have thought of any connection between the notebook and the Bible. Now, I already have a rough guess, but it still needs to be proved."
As he said that, Yang Jing picked up the notebook, flipped it from beginning to end, and finally said, "The insights recorded in this notebook include both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Obviously, the Bible pointed to by the notebook should be a "Old and New Testament."
The princess picked up the thickest book of the "Old and New Testament" and gestured at Yang Jing, "Is this the book?"
"That's right, it's this. And have you noticed that this Bible does not seem to be the kind of popular product printed by ordinary publishers. This Bible seems to be a special version with very few printings. Look, the skin of this Bible is very rubbed. Obviously, Martin Baumann also attached great importance to this Bible back then, and this Bible should have followed Martin Baumann for a long time."
"Boss, identifying antiques and cultural relics is your expertise. Can't you identify the origin of this Bible?" Clark said carelessly.
"Haha, yes, I have indeed identified it. If I read it correctly, this Bible should have been a batch of Bibles specially printed for the top leaders of the Catholic Archbishop Borning, who was in Germany at that time. The number was extremely rare. Only a few top leaders had this Bible."
"Wow, it turned out to be the Bible printed by the Bishop for the top level. This is really precious." Chris shook his head and said.
Yang Jing asked, "You have read this Bible a lot these days. Do you think this Bible is different from the Bible you usually read?"
Hearing Yang Jing ask this, Clark said: "It's indeed a bit different. The prints of this Bible are more exquisite, and some of the illustrations and typesettings in it are also different from the Bible that are currently seen on the market."
"That's right!" Yang Jing snapped his fingers, "So, can we unlock the secrets hidden in the notebook today? It depends on the tremor that follows. Chris, tear down the Bible."
Hearing this order, Chris grabbed his scalp in embarrassment and said, "Boss, I am a Catholic, I can't tear off this Bible..."
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the other people, but all of them shook their heads one by one.
Yang Jing had no choice. If you ask a Catholic to demolish the Bible, it would be almost the same as if you let your descendants dismantle their ancestor tablets in China.
The princess grabbed the Bible with a smile and said, "Yang Jing, don't make things difficult for Chris and the others. I don't believe in Catholicism, so I'll do this job."
Yang Jing nodded and began to look through the notebook in his hand.
Not long after, he found two pages, which recorded different contents, but these two pages were the only places in the entire notebook where the wrong letters were not written with an arrow.
In other words, except for these two pages, other lines used to cross out the wrong letters are used to do it.
The insights recorded on these two pages are clips from "Hagai" and "The Gospel of John". Although Yang Jing does not understand German, he can understand some of the content written in the notebook just by reading this notebook these days.
"Wife, take these two pages off." Yang Jing pointed to the content recorded in the notebook. Luo Weisha was standing beside the princess, and Bruce was standing beside Yang Jing. They were both proficient in German, so although they could not dismantle the Bible by themselves, they could be used as translation.
These two pages were quickly removed, but Princess also gave a message - this Bible has been removed before, but it has been restored well. It is not a professional who can't tell that the book has been removed.
Yang Jing turned his head and looked at the room, pointed to the largest wall and said, "Cleaning everything on the wall for me, I need a large enough place to post these Bibles."
As long as they were not allowed to dismantle the Bible, they could dismantle anything! So a few people rushed up and the entire wall was cleaned up in a blink of an eye.
Chapter completed!
