After seeing Andre off, Langdon answered three boring questions at the door of Teabing's house, and William and the other three heard: "Welcome to Chateau Villette, Professor Langdon."
After everyone walked into Chateau Villette, William saw an old man with white hair holding a cane in both hands standing on the stairs of the manor and saying to them: "Welcome to Chateau Villette, I am Leigh Teabing, the owner here."
"
Langdon said: "I haven't seen Teabing for a long time. Let me introduce you. This is Sophie, and this is William Devonshire."
"Sophie, William, this is Sir Leigh Teabing."
After teabing came down on crutches, he shook hands with Sophie and said to William: "The famous Devonshire, William, I met you when you were only five or six years old, when Henry and I were in England.
We often have afternoon tea together.”
When William heard that Teabing was familiar with his grandfather, he shook Teabing's hand and said, "Hello, Sir, nice to meet you."
Teabing smiled at William and said to Langdon, "Earl Gray tea?"
Langdon smiled and nodded: "It's best to add a slice of lemon."
"OK, I'll take you to the restaurant. Let's have a drink and eat something. It's almost dawn now."
When everyone came to the restaurant, Teabing said after the three of them had tea: "You must have something very important when you come to my place late at night. Tell me what I, an old cripple, can do to help you."
"We wanted to ask you about the Priory," Langdon said to Teabing.
"Keepers or Cryptowar?" Teabing said
Langdon didn't know whether to confess what happened today to Teabing. After hesitating for a moment, he saw that Teabing was waiting for him to speak in confusion. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell Teabing, "Sorry, Teabing, we came so abruptly, but
We have encountered something we cannot understand, and we need your help to help us find clues and unlock some secrets."
"You? It's something you can't understand," Teabing immediately understood: "It seems that you left me alone to find something. Langdon and we are friends, and you know that I have been looking for the Priory. You did this
You really don’t have enough friends.”
"Well, my bad, didn't I come to find you now?" Langdon said
"Forget it, now that's it, I can only accept your apology, but remember to call me next time Langdon looks for a secret opportunity, the Priory, so to speak." Teabing thought for a moment and said:
"The Priory, formerly known as the Order of Zion and the Knights Templar, was established by the remaining members after the Knights Templar were massacred more than 600 years ago. The members are mainly scholars, professors, artists and some nobles. Teabing saw
I looked at the ring on William's hand. For example, the Devonshire family, they have been members of the Priory for generations."
Teabing turned to William and asked, "William, why are the Devonshire family, who have never participated in any activities of the monastery, now here?"
"I don't know. I came here to find the answer. I found some letters in my grandfather's belongings. He asked me to find Professor Saunière, but Professor Saunière was killed before he could tell me." William
speaking of
"Well, it seems that your grandfather took all the secrets he knew to the grave in order to protect you. The monastery usually consists of four people, one grand elder and three elders. They are the main guardians of the Holy Grail, and this is the only one.
It takes four people to know where the Holy Grail is."
Teabing looked at his valet and said, "Thanks, Remy, nothing will happen without you."
The footman heard this and went out, and Teabing continued: "The Priory has members all over the world."
Langdon said: "Philip Hirsey's announcement in 1967 was a lie."
"Ha, this is what the Priory wants you to believe. Many ancient and secret organizations in modern society have to use every means to deceive the people to protect their secrets. Langdon, you can't be fooled by these little tricks."
Teabing teased Langdon with a smile, and then continued after laughing for a while: "The Priory has only one mission, which is to protect the biggest secret in the history of the world."
Sophie smiled and said: "The source of the power of the God of Light in this world?" They had heard Langdon say this.
Teabing immediately said, "NO, this is a wrong statement. What the Priory really protects is the faith, the source of power of the Holy See in this world, not the God of Light."
William said: "What does that have to do with the Holy Grail?"
Teabing said, "Yes, the Holy Grail, William. If you want to understand the Holy Grail, you need to first understand the Bible of Light. The Bible of Light is not faxed to us by the God of Light from heaven using a fax machine. The Bible of Light as we know it now comes from aliens."
The Christian Emperor Constantine".
"Constantine, how is this possible? In my opinion, Constantine is an Illuminati believer," Sophie said
"NO, he has been a pagan all his life. He was baptized on a corpse bed. Since ancient times, his people have been worshiping gods and goddesses of nature. However, during the reign of Constantine, more and more Illuminati believers and worshipers of nature
There was a massive conflict between the followers of the god and goddess.
Constantine was a pragmatic man. When the situation became more and more tense, he decided to unify all religions in his country and establish only one religion, which was the Illuminati, because at that time the Illuminati made up the majority of the population.
In order to prevent his empire from falling apart, he held a very famous Illuminati Council, the Council of Nicea."
Teabing paused for a moment, and after William and Sophie thought about it, he continued: "During this meeting, the different sects of the Illuminati had a heated debate and vote, voting to adopt the gospels, the date of Easter, and the Holy Spirit.
The content of the ritual and the divine authority of the God of Light.”
Sophie said: "I don't understand why we need to confirm the divine authority of the God of Light."
Teabing said: "Dear, Sophie, until that meeting, the God of Light had been regarded by many believers as a great prophet and a great man with far-reaching influence. At that time, he was just a mortal and a mortal man.
"mortal"
Langdon smiled and explained: "Some believers believe that the God of Light is a mortal, and some believers believe that he is a god."
"Isn't it said that the God of Light is the son of the God of Creation?" William asked
"Haha, he's not even a grandchild of God," Teabing mocked.
William laughed and said: "So the divine power of the God of Light is determined by voting."
"Yes, William, you have to remember that God was everywhere in that era. It was Constantine who injected divine power into the God of Light, allowed him to appear holy in the world, and reborn him. He turned the God of Light into a god.
, and there was only one religion under Constantine, so the Illuminati basically defeated all other religions and gods," Teabing said
Speaking of this, Langdon retorted: "No, I don't agree with what you said. I think Constantine did not have the divine right to create the God of Light. He only used the law to recognize beliefs that have been widely circulated and accepted by the people."
"It's just a different way of saying it," Teabing said.
"No, that's different. You're twisting the facts to support your theory," Langdon retorted.
"But the fact is that for many believers, the God of Light is sometimes a god and sometimes a human being," Teabing said angrily.
"But more believers firmly believe that he is God," Langdon said
Teabing said angrily: "That's nonsense. They even issued a formal order to establish his divine authority. What's ridiculous is that even the Council of Nicaea has ambiguity within the Illuminati."
Sophie saw that Langdon and Teabing were about to quarrel, which reminded her of her grandfather's death. She hurriedly said: "Just because of the debate over whether the God of Light is a god or a man, how many people have been involved in these thousands of years?"
People die for this.”
After Teabing and Langdon were silent for a moment, Teabing said: "Just because there is only one Supreme God in this world, there are people who use the name of God to kill."
Teabing's words left everyone speechless, because history has proven Teabing's words for us.
