Nine Hundred and Nineteenth. Grandpa's Relics (4/10)

Cabot asked Qin Shiou when he came to Canada. He said he came the year before last. After hearing this, Cabot laughed and said, "It seems that you are different from your grandfather in this respect. He is full of reverence for God. Heart and devotion..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, kid, I'm used to preaching. Anyway, your grandpa is an amazing man. He is a righteous man sent by God to walk in the world. It is an honor to know him, and I believe you are such a kind person."

Qin Shiou thanked him. In fact, he couldn't say anything about faith.

After experiencing the heart of the sea god, Qin Shiou believes that God, Buddha, and Allah are not necessarily nothingness. Perhaps in a certain era on the earth, they did come, just like the legend of the sea god.

It is said that the sea god controls the waves of the seven seas and commands everything in the ocean. If his sea god's heart is strong enough, wouldn't he be able to do these things of the sea god? Riding a dolphin, he can do the same.

Now Qin Shiou is no longer the materialistic young man he was in college. He has faith, and faith is the heart of the sea god and everything in the ocean.

Cabot changed the subject and did not continue to discuss the topic of faith with him. After learning that Qin Shiou entered the church for the first time, he took the initiative to take Qin Shiou to visit and told him that his second grandfather had been in the church for a while. He has practiced here, and here is his room.

Qin Shiou first visited the cathedral museum, which can also be said to be the bishop's palace. It is located on the left side of the church. It is open to tourists every Monday and Friday. There are a large number of ancient books, ancient vestments and holy bones. Caskets and other artifacts.

Cabot introduced these things to Qin Shiou. In particular, a thick scripture was introduced: "This is the only "Bible" in the world. It has appeared since 1861 AD. It has been well preserved. It comes from Dublin. It is written in Gaelic."

There is a marble statue at the end of the bishop's palace, called the "veiled Virgin Mary", created in the 1850s by Strazza, the most famous Canadian sculptor in the 19th century. The carving is exquisite, and the marble folds are like a veil. It also covers the face of the Virgin, with soft lines and full of spirituality.

After the visit, Cabot took Qin Shiou to a room in the backyard, which was cleaned very clean. Usually, it should be used as accommodation for practicing believers. Now there are a few children in ordinary clothes living in it. Cabot said that many people in the city were driven away by the snow and had nowhere to go, and the church accommodated some of them.

"But I brought you here not to show you what we have done, but to let you see that this used to be the place where your second grandfather lived. He practiced here for a year. At that time, he seemed to encounter What confusion, and then after practicing here, it suddenly became clear." Cabot said.

Qin Shiou walked in.

A spacious room, very ordinary, only a big bed, a desk and a few chairs, but after he entered. But his mind was greatly shocked, because he saw a half-meter-high crucifix placed on the bedside table, and that statue exuded an unbearable attraction to him!

"Grass!" Qin Shiou cursed in a low voice. His heart started, and his eyeballs were almost red. He could feel the material of the statue. It must be the mysterious 'ambergris'!

But Qin Shiou couldn't go there to absorb the energy, so he could only try his best to control himself not to look at the statue, and pretended to be relaxed and asked: "Did my second grandfather live here at that time? May I ask that the statue was there when he was there?" ?"

Cabot gave him a strange look and asked, "Why do you ask about the Jesus image?"

Qin Shiou forced a smile and said, "I asked casually, because there is nothing special in the room."

He himself felt that this reason was nonsense. To the church, could the statue of Jesus be considered something special?

Cabot didn't take it seriously. He stared at the statue of Jesus in the past and said, "Actually, it was carved by Ade himself. I think you noticed him, and it may have something to do with your blood relationship."

Hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little surprised. Was this statue carved by the second grandfather? Then he should also have the heart of the sea god, right? Why not absorb the Seagod's energy inside? He felt that the Poseidon energy in this statue was more than what he got at the Nami Shrine in Japan back then!

Cabot wiped the statue of Jesus clean, picked it up and handed it to Qin Shiou: "I think you need him, right?"

Qin Shiou's expression changed a little. What did the old pastor mean by that? Does he know some news about Seagod's Heart?

He was thinking wildly in his mind, and Cabot said again: "When your grandfather left, he once said that someone might come to get this statue in the future. He asked me to judge for myself. If I think it is not a righteous person, don't give it to me." He. If there is a righteous man then, I will give him the image."

The old pastor didn't say much extra. He and Qin Hongde were acquaintances, and they were seventy or eighty years old. Qin Shiou felt that he was well-informed and might have guessed about the Sea God's Heart or something similar, otherwise he would not directly ask himself whether need.

But he still couldn't stand the temptation of the Seagod's energy, so he asked tentatively: "Do you think I'm a righteous person?"

He thought it was bullshit.

The old pastor laughed and said, "You are a good man and a good boy, that's enough, isn't it? Come on, take this statue back, it's something left by your grandfather, and he belongs to you."

Qin Shiou took over the statue, and the old pastor said, "Then let's go to the auction. It should start soon. If there is still time, I will introduce you to some good people. They are all worthy of your friendship."

But how could Qin Shiou be in the mood to meet someone at this time? After Cabot took him back to the church, he really introduced some people to him. Qin Shiou put on a very low profile, but his mind was completely attracted by the statue in his arms, and he didn't remember the identities of these people.

Someone came to Cabot later and said that the auction was about to start. Only then did Qin Shiou realize that his auction item hadn't been taken out yet, so he quickly took out the jewelry box he had prepared, and said to the old pastor, "Mr. I forgot to send up the auction item just now, so I have to trouble you now."

Seeing the seven dazzling black pearls, Cabot showed a slight look of surprise, then the smile on his face became wider, and he nodded appreciatively and said: "You are indeed a great and good person just like Ade, God bless you, boy."

Qin Shiou thanked him, found a random place and sat down, fidgeting and waiting how he could absorb the energy in the statue without anyone knowing. (To be continued..)
