Chapter 333 The Dead Spirit 5

    The following is the anti-theft section, updated tomorrow before 12am.

    Three young people stepped into the main church on the heels of the parade, compared to the beautiful three-color marble, mosaic and carved windows, and The one that has been criticized by many conservatives, with a distinctive pagan color, is like the beautiful appearance of the dazzling red-red octagonal dome, the interior decoration is almost negligible, the chess-type two-color marble floor, The dark brown beams and columns, the empty walls, the pure double-decker dome, the only color and light source from the "stupid Bible", that is, the basic spirit of Christ in the language of symbolism and metaphor Rose window.

    The second light source is much weaker - the honey beeswax candle burns on the iron frame on either side of the small altar, and the wick is cut short It can only illuminate the white linen sacrificial tablecloth and a small part of the cross behind it.

    Close to the altar, that is to say, almost all of the bankers who lived in the center of the city, the directors of the seven major guilds, who were fortunate enough to receive the Eucharist in the main sacrifice, Members, lawyers or ruling officials and their families.

    The noble and wealthy cloak is covered with a cloak of pomegranate, eucalyptus and vase-pattern brocade or a shawl-length coat that evolved from vestments; Close to the graceful body is a velvet open-chest dress with sleeves of jacquard fabric, or Damasked woolen maxi skirt and openwork velvet sleeves, bright satin and linen; shoulders for sleeves and long skirts Gold and silver ropes and pearl buttons are connected, and the intentionally reserved gaps are exposed with fluffy white silk or linen lining; their neckline is wider and wider than civilians, so that in addition to the decorative bodice with delicate laces, People often see clearly “sparkling skin until the bare half” (a religious reformer condemns the open neckline). Of course, in order not to be driven out of the church by angry monks, they had to ask their fathers and husbands for a large number of gems, pearls, delicate laces from Venice and thin gold-winged curtains to cover themselves. Chest and neck - you see, they are not intent on violating the luxury restrictions (Note 2).

    Of course, their father and brother, husband and son are not too much to dress up, crimson, dark blue, burgundy, gold, black six silk brocade, The embossed brocade jacket has a row of gemstone buttons on the edges and cracks. The velvet cloak is embellished with gold and silver rings. It is decorated with filigree robes, cloaks and soft hats with jewels and family ceremonies. The decoration is more practical. The foil is omnipresent.

    Lorenzo de Medici stands in front of everyone, as the leader of the "Brotherhood" of Florence (Note 3), the Medici parents have the right to receive the first Eucharist.

    His dress is as solemn and solemn as ever, black velvet tights, pants, embroidered with the same color coat without jewels, gold necklace with cross and so on It is better to say that it is a necessity; but that luxurious cloak should be enough to make up for the above shortcomings. It belongs to the predecessor of the Medici, the raw materials come from carefully selected Garbo wool, which is dyed into a thick and even dark red by the three most expensive oriental dyes, and then spun into wool thread, and countless naked eyes. The unrecognizable gold thin-line mixed silk thread is woven into a block fabric, and finally hand-stitched into a garment, a velvet lining, and a squirrel-skin edging, which is thick and strong enough to exceed the imagination. When Juliano was a child, he also stood upright out of the air as the main tent in the war game.

    The current parents of Medici have immediately cast a warning and a urging glimpse when they see their brother appear outside the church door. But the church was empty, dark and cold, only slightly stopped, and Giuliano's legs twitched like a reflex. He showed a poor smile on his brother's style and shook his head. He is not a parent of the Medici family. It doesn't matter when he leads the Eucharist. He prefers to sunbathe by the gate of the church. And Park and his friends seem to think this way, three young people crowded into a pile at the church door.

    Lorenzo lifted his lips in dissatisfaction and helplessly, when the main sacrifice and the people waited for each other, he turned and went to Girola in Perugia. The scorpion of the Count of Mo, the cardinal Rafaelo di Riariodi, talked for a while, and it seems that he is explaining for Giuliano - well known, this prominent young man is against the Medici family. The second son has always had a lot of curiosity - after he returned to his original position, he lowered his eyes and concentrated on the silent prayer of repentance.

    Reading the Bible (the Hadith of God), people answer "Amen"; reading the Bible, reading the Bible, people answer "We praise you."; preaching; reading the confession; Prayer; dedication ...... The sacred ritual that was originally dull enough to appear longer because of the excessive use of the ruthless church Latin, a considerable number of people soon began to fight, talk about business and gossip, although their disrespectful behavior It is always interrupted by the hunger of the stomach... Until the afternoon, the acopheres are successively sent to the cakes and wines that will become the Holy Blood. After repeating a series of boring but necessary steps, such as fragrant incense, consecration, rites, reading, singing, etc., people who have been fasting according to the canon in the last night are involuntarily eagerly watching the main sacrifice high in the silver. The gray face in the sacred box.

    Giuliano curled up his tongue uncontrollably and made a contemptuous face. Every time the Eucharist eats like a brown rice cake soaked in vinegar, the young man doubts more than once, and the fasting of the whole night before the reception of the Eucharist is not for the purpose of swallowing this difficult thing.

    ***

    The two deacons walked to the side of the main sacrifice, holding the holy The sacred blood of the blood and the sacred body of the Eucharist.

    Juliano raised his hands, crossed his fingers, clenched his fists in his jaw, closed his eyes, and began to mutter.

    He feels beside him, it should be Bernardo? Bandini's people are wriggling uneasy, as if who poured a whole lot of fleas on him. If not in the church, Giuliano might choose to throw him out.

    ***

    Lorenzo lowered his head and mourned the scriptures in his mouth, he was The bench squats under the knee to greet the Eucharist - but before that, a savage slender flash swept over the edge of his field of vision.

    The vigilant claws suddenly caught Lorenzo’s heart, and the instinct drove him to turn around in a semi-squatting posture without warning - attempting to stab The knife that wore his neck and the hand that grabbed his shoulders all fell, and Medici’s eldest son thought innocently. He fell to the rear, rolled over on the ground, knocked over the ceremonial table on the right, and yelled angrily: Murder!"

    ***

    Juliano was angry and frightened in the cry of his elder brother The last sight of the light brown iris is the high-profile slaughtering knife in the hands of Bernardo Bandini.

    He didn’t even have the opportunity to hold his arms up, or to make the last roar and curse.

    Bendini’s strength is great, and the butcher’s life-giving tools are like a real weapon, straight into the forehead of Medici’s second son; At the same time, the young Pach, standing on the other side of the victim, clenched the little left-handed sword pulled out of the sleeve and grabbed Giuliano’s back like a zebra’s hyena. He kept silent. The ground stabbed and stabbed - in Bernardo Bandini confirmed the death of Giuliano, and then carefully awakened the number of times the left-handed sword penetrated enough to make a friend who was completely unable to control himself because of tension or excitement. A large sieve for macaroni.

    Pach stood up dizzy, and the hot red liquid soaked the light velvet, except for Giuliano, the blood of the poor victim, and his own - inadvertently made on his lap. The murderer of a slender wound is still driven by intense emotions and rich fantasies. For the time being, there is not much pain. His face is twisted and his teeth are squeaking, like a vulgarity of bloody vultures. Look around and look for the second goal of today in a chaotic crowd.

    ***

    Medic's suites and friends rushed to the altar, but the crowd The assassins in the meeting greeted them. In front of the marble altar, Lorenzo faced three despicable murderers alone: ​​one was the main sacrifice, he grabbed the jewel-filled silver sacred box as a defense, and the other hand unskilledly grasped a wide The daggers were nervous; the assistants who had thrown away the ritual supplies served as the principal offenders. They were tall and tall, and the five senses under the headscarf were rough and rough. The position of holding the left hand and the short knife was very similar. Lorenzo remembered it. One of them is the martial arts teacher of the Pach family. In a certain field, there was a brief conflict with Juliano.

    Lorenzo wants to find his brother, but the assassins have apparently recovered from the beginning of their failure, they fiercely rush to Medici Parents, the arms are shining in the candlelight, eager for the noble blood; the unarmed murderer has to wave the cloak and let it wrap around the arm, showing that the cloak of luxury and identity is always heavy and inconvenient. Now it has become the best substitute for shields.

    The people near the altar screamed, some brave people pulled out their weapons, more people desperately wanted to escape, and the people behind them I can't figure out what happened, curious and desperate to fight forward, and Mingzhe's full strength to retreat, and the scene was chaotic.

    Lorenzo and the murderer’s fight are still going on. When I used the feather pen and the holy kettle’s hand to wield the weapon, it would be awkward and naturally beautiful. Dijon became the best breakthrough. A jug was kicked by him, and the sacred body cloth that was dropped in the panic wrapped around the feet of the gods. The latter screamed and fell backwards. He overturned the high iron frame and the reading platform where the candles were placed. The candle on the shelf flew out, but fortunately it fell on the damp and cold marble floor, and only a small part of it ignited a little silk hanging on the wall.

    The fire is annihilated, at this time only the pale golden sunlight from the rose window is empty for the cathedral lighting - according to the design of the cathedral, close to noon At the time, almost all the light will be concentrated on the altar. The bright light is set against the backdrop of solemn grey stone, clearly cutting out the deacons of white and the Medici in red. They are separated at the ends of the big altar covered with three layers of linen, filled with madness and hatred. Contrast, because the muscles that are clenched and the knots cast an unusually heavy shadow on the face.
