Li Cong continued to follow the team. The tour guide was no longer the lady just now. She was a blonde beauty with long hair shawl. She had seen Li Cong several times. She found that Li Cong was very handsome and rich.

Yes, she also hoped to be one of the richest Chinese people like her friend. What she didn’t know was that Li Cong looked at her several times because she told a thousand-year-old legend about St. Peter’s Cathedral, which was related to this

Women have nothing to do with it.

The story she told is very attractive, "When you enter St. Peter's Square in the Vatican from the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, the first building that catches your eye is St. Peter's Basilica located to the west of the square. This is the largest church in the world. In the hearts of believers

That is the house where God lives." The girl's speech was very inflammatory, but Li Cong didn't really believe it. If God really lives here, why doesn't he feel anything at all? God should be one of the best in the Holy See.

Only for experts, Li Cong only felt the senior deacons and a few terrifying existences, but there should still be a big gap between those existences and the Pope.

Although the current St. Peter's Basilica is a product of the Middle Ages, in fact St. Peter's Basilica was built in the 4th century. Its history is almost synchronized with the development of Christianity. St. Peter's Basilica originated from people's commemoration of Peter.

Peter (common name "Simon") is the great saint of Jesus. He was the first person to recognize Jesus as the Christ (the "Savior"), so Jesus gave him the name "Peter" (meaning "Rock").

After the death of Jesus, Peter, as the leader of the saints, began to found the Christian Church. In the middle of the first century AD, when Christianity gradually spread from Palestine to Rome, it caused great panic among the Roman rulers. In order to consolidate his power, Emperor Nero began in 64 AD

The suppression of Christian missionaries began in 1989. Peter, the great saint of Jesus, as the founder of the church, was naturally not spared. He was crucified by Emperor Nero. The execution was carried out at the current location of the church, which was still Nero's home at that time.

racecourse and his body was buried on the spot.

However, what the Roman rulers did not expect was that the power of faith is infinite, and Christian teachings have been accepted by more and more people. Not only are believers and missionaries constantly being killed, but their influence is growing.

By the time of Emperor Constantine, the power of Christianity was too great to be eliminated. Emperor Constantine had no choice but to recognize the legal status of Christianity. In 324, a simple chapel was built at Peter's tomb.

To commemorate Peter, of course, it can also be said to be Peter's vindication. After Constantine's son Kons succeeded to the throne, in order to further utilize the power of Christianity to serve the empire, he established Christianity as the state religion of the empire. In order to express his gratitude to God

In order to revere him, Coons carried out extensive construction projects, knocking down the original simple St. Peter's Church and building a cathedral several times the original size on the site. In the following more than ten centuries, St. Peter's Basilica underwent many expansions and reconstructions.

, interestingly, every time it undergoes a major expansion or reconstruction, its style will undergo a mutation. The first church built by Constantine was in the Greek temple style. Later it evolved into the ancient Roman style, and its plane

The structure of the cross has also changed from Greek to Latin (horizontally short and vertically long), but no matter how the style and structure change, its central position has always remained the same, and Peter's tomb has always been at the center of the cross.

The St. Peter's Basilica that now stands in front of Li Cong has long lost the shadow of the Constantine period. During the period of Pope Julio II, it was completely demolished and rebuilt. The project started in 1506 and was finally completed in 1626.

This project embodies the wisdom of many top architects such as Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Bernini. First, Bramante. He was invited by Giulio II to design the initial architectural plan.

, but he presided over the construction for only 8 years. He and Pope Julio II died one after another. The new pope invited Raphael to continue the construction. However, this young artistic genius died young after 6 years as chief architect of the church.

After his death, the church project was directed by Paruzzi and Sangallo for more than ten years, but the project did not make any major progress. In 1547, Michelangelo, who had passed his seventies, happily accepted the order.

The original design was partially adjusted, and the Romanesque semicircular vault of the church was changed to a large arch-ribbed vault, which made the visual effect of the church more magnificent. Due to the vastness of the project, Michelangelo did not see it in the end.

He designed what St. Peter's Basilica would look like after it was completed. 17 years later, he was called away by God at the age of 89. But what is gratifying is that the architects who succeeded him faithfully implemented his design plan, and now

The St. Peter's Basilica that people see is exactly what Michelangelo wanted to see.

In an overall sense, the St. Peter's Basilica completed in 1626 should be said to be just a shell of the church. Just like the current commercial housing developers in China, what is handed over to the owners is only a rough house, and the decoration work has to be completed by hiring an additional decoration engineer.

After the main project of St. Peter's Basilica was completed, Bernini spent more than 20 years on interior and exterior decoration. Bernini was the main promoter of the Baroque art style, and the decoration projects he presided over naturally added a strong Baroque artistic flavor to the church.

, making it appear more luxurious and magnificent.

It can be seen that St. Peter's Church has experienced a history of more than 1,300 years from its construction, to undergoing many expansions and reconstructions, to finally being decorated. This process happened to be the process of the development and growth of Christianity in the Roman Empire. From this

In a sense, the architectural history of St. Peter's Church is also part of the history of the development of Christianity. The beautiful tour guide finished the story vividly, but when she finished, she found that the Chinese she admired had disappeared.

Li was never a fool. He knew that if he didn't disappear at this time, there would be no way to disappear. His detector showed that there were several high-level guys coming towards him. What Li never expected was that he had already found one.

He was about to leave through the back door. Since the Pope was not here, there was no need for him to stay here. Unfortunately, things were not as good as he thought. When Li Cong just walked out a few steps, the only two exits here were already there.

A large number of red-robed priests have appeared. The strength of these priests is between those of deacons and senior deacons. During the day, especially in such an important place as the church, it is impossible for people from the Inquisition to appear here. Li Cong

I know I can't leave so easily.

When everyone formed a circle around Li Cong, the red archbishop whom Li Cong had never seen yesterday appeared. Although there were many people in the Holy See who were at the same level as the red archbishop, on the surface, the red archbishop

It is the existence second only to the Pope. Because the Pope is born among the red archbishops, they will not participate in some bloody things. Today's participation in the round-up of Li Cong is actually because Li Cong is really

Somewhat important reasons.

Sarah remembered that the Pope was a little excited when he told her about Li Cong. He didn't know how many years he hadn't seen the Pope so excited. At that time, the Pope was trembling when he spoke, because the Pope saw the bodies of those people.

It seems that the Pope knows how those people died. And he was even more excited when he got some concentrated environmentally friendly oil produced by the energy group. It is not easy to get these things, but judging from the strength of the Holy See, there is still no

The problem is that the Pope said at that time, "The era when our Holy See rules the world may come again." Cardinal Sasha was excited when he thought of this. Who doesn't hope that one day he will rule the world. Although he is now

He is not the pope yet, but if he can solve this problem well, he can become the absolute candidate for the first pope. The other cardinal archbishops are busy with other things now, and they have no chance to complete this task.

.

"Mr. Li, it's really not easy to find you. I didn't expect that Mr. Li is in our hinterland, and our people have turned the entire city of Rome upside down. Mr. Li has hurt so many people in our Holy See.

He dared to come to us, I really admire Mr. Li's courage." Sasha slowly walked towards Li Cong. In Li Cong's view, the red archbishop was a fat man, or a ball.

This is what people who are not familiar with Sara would say. Anyone who has seen the red archbishop fight knows that the fat man in front of him is in his best fighting condition. Wait until he goes crazy.

, then you will know how terrifying such a fat man is. I don’t know how many times more powerful than some guys with full muscles.

"Haha, I came here purely because you provoked me first, and I had no choice but to protect myself. Not only did your people occupy one of my bases, but they were also unreasonable to me. Shouldn't I kill them?

? Besides, I also need to meet with your senior officials. I think the Vatican has always cared about those minions. If you don’t kill them, how could you come out?" Li Cong said with a chuckle, and the people around him

At this time, I can't wait to go up and kill Li Cong directly, and kill dozens of people in the Holy See. Are those minions? If they are ordinary servants of God, it doesn't matter, you can just kill them casually. The Holy See is, but the deacons

As for the senior deacons, well, even the deacons are not very valuable, and the Holy See has several thousand, but as for the senior deacons, the Holy See only has twenty senior deacons. What a good guy, you killed three of them in one go.

To one-sixth of the Holy See, these can be regarded as Li Cong's minions, but what about the fanatic? Although there is still a fanatic army, there are only five people in the entire fanatic army, and that guy is the most powerful.

The weakest one is also one-fifth, so the losses Li Cong brought to the Holy See this time are quite huge. They can't swallow this just because the Pope wants to see Li Cong, especially Sarah and Death.

The fanatic who died has been a friend for many years, at least sixty years ago.

"Humph, Li Cong, don't be so arrogant. I think you can see clearly that this is our church, not your energy group. Today hundreds of masters are surrounding you here. It is impossible for you to escape from here.

Go ahead, if you really know what’s going on, be honest, otherwise I don’t mind giving you some violence. Many of us haven’t taken action for many years, so it’s best not to force us to take action.” Sara’s words were natural.

He is not as powerful as Li Cong. After a while, Li Cong was able to lift his anger. Li Cong looked at this guy helplessly. It turns out that everyone in the Holy See has brain problems, but there is one who is very strong.

He couldn't blame Li Cong for thinking so, because the people he saw in the Holy See didn't seem to have very good brains. It was as if the senior deacons he killed and the guy in front of him were all his.

Just do whatever you want.

"No need to talk nonsense, why are you willing to give up my base? My base is in your hands and I lose a lot every day. I think your Holy See also has a strong economic strength. How about it? What are you going to do?

Make it up to me?" Li Cong found a place to sit down. Standing and chatting with such a group of idiots was really flattering to them. Only Li Cong could do this. If the believers outside saw it, it would be necessary.

They dragged Li Cong out and beat him to death. Seeing the red archbishop was the happiest thing in their lives. Even letting them kiss the archbishop's shoes was considered a supreme thing. But for Li Cong, he

I didn't even bother to look at this guy. If my base wasn't in their hands, I would have left long ago. What's the point of talking to such a group of old men? If there's anything interesting to talk about, why not go outside and see the beautiful women?

, by the way, the quality of the girls out there is really good.

"Hmph, Li Cong, do you think you are on your territory when you come to this place? Do you really not know where we are? Negotiate terms with the Holy See? Do you have the qualifications? If you don't want to die, then

Follow us honestly to see the Pope." Sarah didn't consider what Li Cong said at all. In his opinion, that base should be very important to Li Cong, but it is nothing to the Holy See, but the Pope ordered everything

He needs to talk to Li Cong personally, otherwise he will order this guy to be killed.

"If you invite me to talk about things, you should have the consciousness to talk about it. Look at the way you look at me, as if you want to eat me. I'm not in a good mood and can't go with you today. I have to leave." Li

Cong shook his head helplessly. Why don't these guys know how to speak properly? It seems that I have to teach them.

Arrogant!! This was the impression everyone in the Holy See had on Li Cong. Sara was about to give the order to take action, but at this moment, another group of people appeared outside them, and they seemed to be wearing crosses.

. But these people were all wearing green robes, and they were obviously not from the same group. Li Cong saw an extra layer of encirclement, and he could tell that these people might also be related to him. Otherwise, it would be up to him.

His eyes were like seeing gold. Was he that important? In fact, Li had become a little aware at this time. Could it be that the advanced weapons he revealed gave them a sneak peek? Or was it something else?

Half of Sara's men immediately took out their weapons and pointed them at the guys behind them, while the other half looked at Li Cong. Deacon Sara glanced at those people and then looked at Li Cong. For him,

The importance of those people is obviously not as important as Li Cong.

"Gladia, this is our territory, take these green leather goods of yours and get out of here. You traitors to God are not worthy of carrying crosses at all." Sarah said arrogantly without looking back.

Those guys said, what the hell? Traitors of God? Li Cong looked at these people in green clothes outside. It seemed that the relationship between them was not very good. Otherwise, why would they talk so harshly? He originally came to ask for help.

I have to solve my own problems. I didn’t expect that there is a free drama to watch. Li Cong was about to stand up, so he should continue to do it now. Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with us. We are most happy to watch the fun. Chinese people

Li Cong's mood for watching the fun was clearly revealed. Seeing how tense they were, Li Cong really wished they could come up and stop talking and just start fighting.

"Sarah, your foul mouth is still the same as before. Why doesn't that bald pope know how to teach you a lesson? It's really embarrassing to the Catholic Church to let you out every day. I'm also confused.

Is there no one left in the Holy See? I have to release a monster like you. Look at your figure. The width seems to be longer than the length now. The Holy See has passed down the news for hundreds of years and there seems to be only one fat man like you. I

If it were you, I would jump off the building. How come you are still alive and well? Can you see your feet when you lower your head? How sad." It seems that this Gladia is also an old acquaintance of Sarah, but

The relationship between the two people is not very good, and there are many disputes. It seems that the two people have played against each other before, and Li Cong judged that their strength should be about the same. It is a bit difficult for him to deal with such a guy.

Now that there are two of them, it seems that I am really in trouble today.

"Gradia, needless to say about my figure, I am very satisfied with my current figure. Our Catholic Church has important things to do today and has no time to care about you traitors to God. I will let you go today and hurry up.

Get out of here, otherwise we will alarm the people in the Holy See, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to. Killing you traitors to God has always been the favorite thing of those fanatics." Sara's behavior was still so bad, she actually said this

After hearing such words, Li Cong shook his head helplessly. Are these people in the Holy See all single-celled? Why do they do things without going through his own brain?

"Haha, Sarah, do you think I don't know? In addition to the bald pope, how many masters can you have in the Holy See today? Let me tell you the truth. I came here to talk nonsense to you from time to time. If I hadn't investigated clearly,

If so. Will I bring someone here? That is impossible. I want to take that person away. If you let me take him away, I will not look for trouble. Otherwise, I don’t mind having a fight with you here.

.You also know that none of us can do anything to anyone. This is the territory of your Catholic Church. If anything is broken, we will not compensate you. I really don’t know that tomorrow’s news will say that your place has been demolished.

Will all the believers in the world come directly to us?" This guy laughed, and his laughter made people feel scared, and he looked at some of the surrounding buildings from time to time. It seems that this guy really has
