Chapter 170 God Said, Let There Be Light! (Please subscribe, wonderful)

After Father Daniel's words fell, he closed his mouth and looked at the latter with a smile.

At this time, everyone in the room looked at Father John intently. In the past, the three of Kelly Nereski would never have cared about such a small community church, but today is different. The competitors are all Existences at the same level want to prove themselves.

Not to mention, among the participants is the most popular young designer in the world today. You must know that the purpose of their trip is to compete with him, to defeat him, and to step on his head.

The three of them looked at the priest, their expressions seemed calm, but their lowered hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Su Mu, Qianhe and the others looked ugly, and even had the urge to flee, they didn't want to see their boss humiliated.

For a moment, the scene seemed a little tense, and there was no extra sound except for panting.

No, there was one person in the crowd who didn't know how nervous he was.

I saw that after Bai Gongtong stated the two points of the plan, he seemed not to care about the result at all, holding his arms in his arms, with a calm expression.

In the eyes of Kurokawa Yazhi and everyone in Su Mu, they all thought that Davidia involucrata had completely given up.

But in fact it is not the case.

In another world, this plan is a typical example of avenues and simplicity. Its appearance is contrary to the traditional extremely luxurious church. Or filtered through the pores, it will flow into the space together with the eternal place of history and the passage of time.

At that time, this ordinary church could make believers see the glory of heaven and feel close to Allah.

Under the shroud of light, all the simple and sensible details will be clearly unfolded along with the details of life.

Gongtong's eyes turned to her own plan, and to the cross cut out by him in the indoor perspective view.

This cross is called the "Cross of Light" and is located behind the altar. All the simplicity, low-key and even darkness are to set off this cross, which is the essence of the essence.

Recalling another world in my mind, the shocking scene of this church, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He looked at the priest with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves, and Buddha crosses people with destiny.

He didn't care whether the plan would be selected, otherwise he wouldn't even reveal the real secret during the explanation.

He wanted to see if this Father John had the good fortune to become the priest of the most classic church in another world!
Gongtong smiled lightly, wondering if their gods would give them a hint.

Misunderstanding, no one in this room can tell which of the four proposals is the real pearl except Davidia involucrata.

Under everyone's gaze, the tall, thin, slightly pale-skinned Father John's eyes moved in several church plans.

From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Bai Gongtong's most ordinary works from time to time. For some reason, he couldn't let it go.

"Can I ask a question?"

While waiting, John didn't say the answer directly, but looked at Adrian and the others and said softly.

"You say."

After being affirmed, John first looked at Kelly Nereski and asked:
"I don't know how much the cost of your church is, Ms. Kelly?"

Kelly Nereski thought for a while after hearing this, and quickly raised her head to look at Father John, saying to herself:

"Mr. John, you don't have to worry. The cost of this church will not be too high. It should only cost about 900 million Australian dollars."

Good guy, 900 million Australian dollars is also about 5000 million yuan, which is not high, and it is indeed not high compared to a church that easily costs hundreds of millions of yuan.

As Father John listened, his already pale face seemed to turn a little pale.

He nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then looked at Adrian Smith: "I wonder how much your church will cost, sir?"

"Mr. John, the church I designed mainly uses modernist materials and the cost is much lower than that of Miss Kelly."

Adrian Smith grinned slightly: "The cost is about 550 million Australian dollars."

Hearing this, John looked at Masayuki Kurokawa again.

"Sir, my church cost only 500 million Australian dollars!"

Masayuki Kurokawa stood up straight, with his head held high, with a confident smile on his face, and said sonorously.

Masayuki Kurokawa has been paying attention to the expression of Father John, and at this moment, he feels more certain in his heart.

He is confident that his work is not inferior to the other two, but the cost is hundreds of thousands or even millions of Australian dollars lower, which is the biggest advantage.

"Sir, you."

At this moment, Father John turned to Bai Gongtong again under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Mr. Priest, my plan only needs 80 Australian dollars."

Before John asked what to say, Gongtong answered first.

The sound fell, and everyone was in an uproar.

$80?
Converted into RMB, it is only about 400 million yuan, which is quite different from the cost of tens of millions or even nearly [-] million yuan of the previous few!
Can this really build a new church?
But soon, everyone stopped being suspicious. They remembered Gongtong's plan, and contempt immediately appeared on their faces.

Yes, the kind of church that compares with rural factory buildings and stables should be 80 Australian dollars, right?
Not to mention that most of the materials can be picked up from the old church for secondary use.

Kelly Nereski and the others thought about this, and couldn't help showing amused faces, shaking their heads secretly thinking that they shouldn't make a fuss.

On the other side, Father John's eyes lit up slightly, and he took another serious look at Bai Gongtong's work.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a faint light that makes his heart palpitate emerge from the cracks in the cut paper.

He didn't look surprised, and silently thought about it.

Soon, Father John made a decision that puzzled everyone but made him proud all his life.

"I think I have an answer."

John looked at everyone and said affirmatively.

The atmosphere in the room became stagnant, and everyone looked at John.

"My final choice is."

John's eyes echoed among the crowd.

Kelly Nereski, Adrian Smith, and Masayuki Kurokawa all leaned forward slightly, waiting to announce their names.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I only saw John's eyes resting on the most unlikely Bai Gongtong.

The three of them were surprised.

Before they could panic, Father John's loud words fell:

"Thanks to the designer Baitongtong for the proposal for this church!"

boom!
Everyone was shocked.

Su Mu and Qianhe showed disbelief on their faces.

On the other hand, Father Daniel's expression was even more intense, glaring at John.

"Mr. John, if the budget is really insufficient, I think the Nereski family is willing to help you."

Kelly Nereski immediately thought it should be a lack of funds.

In fact, it was everyone's first and only thought.

"John!"

Father Daniel was so angry that his mouth was trembling, he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about the budget, I will apply to the church for you."

Adrian Smith and Masayuki Kurokawa successively expressed their willingness to donate enough money to the church.

Everyone looked closely at Father John, even with a hint of aggressiveness.

Anyone who chooses the three of them can accept the plan, and Daniel thinks it is blasphemy to choose such a common or even cheap work!

The atmosphere was tense.

On one side, Gong Tong looked at John with a slightly surprised expression. Is this really God giving him a hint?

Otherwise, how could he make such an incredible decision in his opinion.

"No need, Mr. Daniel, gentlemen and ladies."

Father John's tall and thin body revealed a different temperament at this moment, and his slightly pale face seemed to have really made up his mind, which cannot be changed:
"I have decided."

"Mr. Daniel!"

Seeing that Father Daniel was about to persuade him again, John suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "I will be the priest of this church!"

This is refuted by Daniel's previous words.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"You are blaspheming my lord!"

Daniel's face was flushed with anger, his body was trembling, and he shouted repeatedly.

Everyone was deadlocked, but they couldn't change Father John's determination at all.

"I want to see what this so-called church will look like after it is completed."

"It will make the Pope furious, and it will be the greatest humiliation of the church!"

Daniel said in a deep voice.

After his words fell, he immediately flung his sleeves and left.

Kelly Nereski, Adrian Smith and Masayuki Kurokawa also left one after another with dark faces.

There is a sense of helplessness in their hearts that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it.

They regarded Father John as an illiterate priest who didn't understand art at all, and complained about Baitong's shit luck in their hearts.

When the three of them left, they glared at Bai Gongtong, but were annoyed by the latter's half-smile.

Gongtong gave some construction points to Father John, and then left with the team.

"Boss, let's go buy lottery tickets!"

"Hahaha, this luck is really amazing."

"Did you see the faces of the three people before, as if they were being fucked by dogs."

"Oh my God"

Su Mu, Qianhe, Guangbai, and Zuo Chao opened their eyes wide and couldn't wait to share the disbelief in their hearts.

Davidson involuntarily did not tell Father John the mysteries of this classic church at the end. He thought that after the completion, it would shine brightly, and all the mysteries would be revealed gradually.

He didn't expect that maybe he really got the guidance of God.

After they were gone, Father John, contemplating his drawing, suddenly removed it from the pegboard for no apparent reason.

He took out an old kerosene lamp from the cabinet, lit it and turned off the lights in the room that were already on.

With a calm face, he gently blocked the drawing between his eyes and the kerosene lamp.

An amazing scene appeared!

His eyes were dark at first after the drawings blocked him, but then the orange light of the kerosene lamp penetrated from the cross-shaped incision cut in the paper, forming a cross of light in the darkness!
But the changes aren't over yet.

This cross-shaped cutout is located on the indoor perspective drawing of the drawing, and the light gradually spreads from the cross, slowly pulling out an orange-yellow line of light along the gap between the floor and the wall
In a dark space, the cross and the line of light displayed by the orange light appeared in front of Father John.

The light seemed to come out from heaven, sacred, clear, pure, and shocking.
The light hit Father John's face, and his whole life was driven by enthusiasm from the heart. He only felt that he had really seen God through the cross of light.

His whole body was trembling, his expression was pious and holy, his lips squirmed:

"God said, let there be light, and there will be light."

"God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness."

"God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. There was evening and there was morning, and this was the first day."
