Chapter 216 Xu Ji's Discovery

"What's wrong?" asked the assistant.

Xu Ji squatted down and reached out to take out the statues from two different suitcases.

"Come here." Xu Ji said.

The assistants immediately came over.

Xu Ji turned to look at Xiaoya: "I mean her."

The assistant quickly gave up his seat, thinking that the first-line viewing seats were now gone.

Xiaoya squatted down next to Xu Ji, and Wei Wenqing also came up and stood with the assistant.

"This is called the Statue of the Virgin Mary." Xu Ji said to the duck.

The duckling nodded, but was still a little confused.

Religion was a completely unfamiliar field to her, and it was something that would not be found in any of the miscellaneous books in the library corner of Shitou Primary School.

"Come and see what the difference is between these two statues." Xu Ji's wrist was thin, but he held up the two statues of the Virgin Mary steadily.

The assistant spoke carefully: "Don't these two look completely different?"

You don't need to look closely at this.

But this is normal, of course not every statue looks exactly the same.

Xu Ji didn't respond, but just waited quietly for the duck's reaction with a smile on his face.

"Yes...it gives people a different feeling." The duckling uttered slowly.

assistant:?

Isn't it the same as not saying anything?

But Xu Ji said, “Yes.”

How is this right? The assistant was stunned.

“To put it in more professional terms, their styles are different, so the feelings they give people are naturally different.” After Xu Ji finished speaking, he raised the statue of the Virgin Mary in his left hand a little higher.

He asked, “How does it make you feel?”

"Sacred and solemn."

"What about this?" Xu Ji raised the statue of the Virgin Mary in his right hand.

"Warm and soft, and... well, a little fatter." The duckling paused and thought intuitively: "Shouldn't they appear together?"

"They shouldn't be together, because this..." Xu Ji looked at his left hand, "It's an Orthodox statue of the Virgin Mary."

“And this…” He looked to his right, “is a Catholic statue of the Virgin Mary.”

"Orthodoxy uses icons to highlight divinity, while Catholicism focuses more on highlighting humanity. So the feelings they give people are completely different."

"In addition, Orthodox icons are decorated with highly symbolic symbols, such as halos, capes, bracelets, stars..."

"If they can even confuse the statue of the Virgin Mary, it seems that these clergymen are not devout believers." Xu Ji's mouth curled up, his smile was still gentle, but with a little more sarcasm.

The assistant opened his mouth and then closed it again. He is indeed the boss!

The servants were also stunned.

Who would notice such a difference if they did not know these sects well enough?

Wei Wenqing also borrowed his cell phone to ask, "Are you a Christian?"

"No." Xu Ji put the statue of the Virgin Mary back, holding the duckling in one hand and the assistant in the other, and slowly stood up, "Hey, my legs are numb."

The duckling immediately hugged his legs: "Then don't move, just take it easy."

Xu Ji pursed his lips and smiled even more, using the duck as a crutch.

He continued, "I once took two painting appreciation classes with Sheng Yuxiao's mother. One of them analyzed the differences between icons of different religious sects from an aesthetic perspective."

"You see, it is still useful. Ask Sheng Yuxiao to return the appreciation courses to your school some other day." Xu Ji suggested enthusiastically.

The duckling opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously.

Xu Ji lowered his head and could clearly see a look of shocked admiration in the children's eyes.

The eyes are bright.

Like a water-soaked gem.

Xu Ji patted her head, in a good mood, and said, "Now, please invite those nuns and the archbishop out."

Wei Wenqing nodded and gave a wink to the bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguard immediately set out to "invite" someone.

“You are illegally detaining me!”

"Father, please forgive these ungodly people and don't send them to hell on Judgment Day..."

The archbishop made angry accusations, while the nuns crossed themselves and muttered to themselves.

"Is this your piety?" Xu Ji asked.

The assistant responded and placed the two completely different styles of the Madonna statues in front of the archbishop.

The archbishop's voice suddenly stopped and his expression froze.

Xu Ji observed his reaction and said, "It seems that you know a little bit about this business, but these nuns are not professional enough. When preparing the props, they made such a big mistake..."

The corners of the archbishop's mouth trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The nuns also fell silent and looked at Xu Ji with surprise and panic.

Being watched by so many people, Xu Ji became more relaxed and at ease: "Both Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism are branches of Christ. Ordinary people cannot tell the difference between the two."

The archbishop was right. Mr. Wei was not sincere enough. He did not believe in the power of religion from the bottom of his heart, so he did not know the difference between the two.

The archbishop himself was not sincere enough, so he and the nuns made mistakes.

"Why are you pretending to be a clergyman?" the bodyguard shouted.

The archbishop closed his eyes and said, "You are deliberately making things difficult for me. In that case, call the police and have us arrested."

The duckling's childish voice rang out: "In order to avoid being detained, you'd better return the money we paid for hiring you."

Xu Ji smiled and replied: "Yes, but now you would rather go to the police station. What made you change so much?"

The duck's face wrinkled up, and he said firmly, "Is it to cover up a bigger evil?"

Xu Ji turned around and ordered: "Unpack the suitcase."

The Wei family's bodyguard moved his legs, but did not take it apart immediately.

At this time, the duckling urged: "Go quickly."

The bodyguards immediately took action.

Xu Ji tilted his head and sighed.

Once these ghost dogs are trained, they are indeed very loyal dogs.

"Do you know how to dismantle it?" Xu Ji interrupted, "Take apart the interlayer, remove the wheels, cut open the outer layer...there must not be a single gap that leaks."

Xu Ji said to his assistant, "Go and teach them."

The assistant nodded, looking like someone who had seen a lot of ups and downs.

The archbishop watched their actions without saying a word of defence or struggle.

but……

"His mouth is moving," the duckling cried.

Not talking, but moving his mouth.

"Suicide?" Xu Ji suddenly turned around and punched the archbishop in the side of the face.

All I heard was a "click".

The archbishop's entire jaw was dislocated, a tooth was flying out, and his cheek was slightly sunken.

He let out a muffled cry of pain and fell down under the huge force.

Wei Wenqing suddenly blew a whistle, and the servants who had been standing motionless on the side suddenly pounced on the nuns at the sound of the whistle and pinned them down one by one.

It all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

"Such a strong reaction, it seems that the matter to be covered up is very, very big." Xu Ji said in a light tone.

The duckling exhaled, stepped forward and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"

What a great strength!

Xu Ji's face slowly turned pale, and he hissed softly: "...It seems like a fracture."
