Through the performance of these four Westerners at the initiation ceremony, it can be seen that their faces are full of piety and expectation, just because they have not found the "gatekeeper", they wander outside the organization as "Freemason" apprentices. [Full text reading. 】

When the old captain Bai Haishan woke up, it was already noon, and he heard the voices and cheers of the people outside, and hurriedly ran out to see the excitement......

As soon as he saw Bai Haishan, Zhu Hui hurriedly asked them to put themselves down, helped the old man to the approach of the four Westerners, and announced to them: Mr. Bai is the chief Australian owner of the Freemason Business Group, and he and Zhang Gou'er are the protectors under his command, and he is the Venerable Lord on this ship, so all actions on this ship must be under the command of the Venerable Lord.

It's better than anything else! So, Captain Jack, Smith, Nelson and Erikson immediately knelt on the ground, shouted "Venerable Lord", and according to the oriental etiquette, they gave Bai Haishan three bows and nine bows.

Zhang Gou'er, who was bandaged on his head, Ma San, who was hanging on one hand, and others also came, and found that the four Westerners had completely surrendered, and the two rushed forward together, knocked Captain Jack and Smith to the ground, and beat them severely......

"We have admitted our mistakes, please stop fighting, everyone is a brother of the 'Freemasons', and there will be no more infighting." Smith pleaded loudly.

Although Smith tried his best to apologize to Zhang Gou'er, the dog couldn't understand a word, and continued to chase Captain Jack and kick and beat him, this guy had to roll around with his hands covering his eyes, begging Bai Haishan to protect him.

At this time, Ma San suddenly found that although he couldn't speak Western, he seemed to be able to understand their language, and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Gou'er with one hand and said, "Zhang Gongzi, please stop, it sounds like this Captain Jack has an extraordinary background, you might as well listen to what he has to say." ”

Zhang Gou'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is he talking about?" ”

Ma San listened attentively and explained to Zhang Gou'er with a smile: "Hehe, he said that his family is the descendants of Cain, and he knows the secrets between heaven and earth and the universe. ”

Zhang Gou'er stared at Ma San's hanging left hand and asked in surprise, "So, that crystal finger really has magical power?" ”

"Lord Tian judged correctly, Che-Roy's talent does come from this crystal finger." Ma San said, stretched out his hand to Zhang Gou'er, and said with a smile: "Brother, if you are willing to chop off the index finger of your left hand, this crystal finger will be given to you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, translate for me." Zhang Gou'er urged.

Jack, who officially joined the "Freemasonry", was very excited, at this time, he noticed that Bai Haishan, Zhu Hui and others were looking at him reservedly, in order to prove his identity, and the pursuit after joining the "Freemasonry", he sat on the deck and snorted in the sun, and began to talk endlessly......

"Ma San, you come to be my translator and listen to what this kid is talking about." Zhang Gou'er said.

So, while listening attentively, Ma San translated loudly to everyone, no matter how fast or slow Captain Jack spoke, he could express the meaning very fluently:

My patriarch was Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, the first human beings, and had a younger brother named Abel. When he sacrificed to God, Cain found that God liked only the lamb that Abel sacrificed and did not like the fruit of his sacrifice, so he had an argument with Abel, and accidentally killed his own brother, bringing death to the world.

Cain was punished by God for this, so he became suspicious of God, and his mind was known to Lucifer, the enemy of God, so Lucifer took Cain to see the secrets of the universe and the past and present lives of mankind, and in this way, these secrets were passed down by Cain's descendants.

So, what exactly are these secrets? It turned out that long before the Great Flood, Lamech, a descendant of Cain, had two wives, one named Adah and the other named Kira. Adah begat two boys, named Jabal and Judah. Kira gave birth to a boy and a girl named Tubah Cain and Namah.

Based on the mysterious legends of their families, the four siblings developed a strong interest in nature in the human world and began to explore according to their own preferences: Yaba liked to study geography and domesticate domestic animals, and he used stone and wood to build houses for the first time; Juba loved music and made all kinds of musical instruments; Tuba Cain invented the art of smelting, capable of forging all kinds of metal utensils; The youngest sister, Nama, invented weaving.

This is the origin of human wisdom and learning, and this story is recorded in Genesis 4, but there are many, many more stories that are not told in the Bible, passed down through the oral accounts of our ancestors, and these are the secrets of Cain's descendants.

One day, the four siblings suddenly realized that their exploration of nature had violated the dignity of God, which in turn triggered the wrath of God, and God, as the great builder of the universe, would punish human beings who peeked into the secrets with fire and water.

When the Great Flood came, they deliberately engraved their knowledge on two stone pillars in order to spread great wisdom and learning to the world. One of them is called 'Abel', which is made of a special material that will not be burned by fire, and the other is called 'Latrus', which will not be destroyed even if it is submerged in the Great Flood.

After the Great Flood, one of the pillars was discovered, the threefold great Hermes Mercurius trismegistus, who taught a small part of these great teachings to mankind.

Hermes is the Egyptian god Thoth, known as Hermes in Europa, he was the Egyptian god of wisdom, who mastered natural science and philosophy by learning the words on the stone pillars, and eventually became a grandmaster.

According to Genesis chapters 10 and 11, after the Flood subsided, God was pleased with Noah's piety and decided not to destroy mankind again, but mankind did not forget to explore the "realm of God."

After the revival of mankind, most of them were still in a state of ignorance, and only the masons held the secrets of natural science and geometry, and based on this knowledge, they gradually realized that man was nothing more than an "imperfect copy" of God, and therefore, human beings were not perfect, and only through unremitting efforts and exploration could they overcome their own spiritual and physical defects and return to the realm of God.

Therefore, our masonry started from themselves and began to explore and practice......

Among Noah's unfilial sons was a son named Cush, who had a son named Nimrod, who was said to be a very strong hunter, and later, Nimrod became the king of Babylon and established a rich and impetuous kingdom.

So, masons gathered in Babylon from far and wide, and they began to build a tower of Babel, which became known as the legendary Tower of Babel.

God, as the great builder of the universe, although he was extremely angry at the actions of mankind, this time, instead of creating another disaster, he used a humorous way to punish him.

One day, the masonry woke up and found that none of them understood what the other was saying, and they could not communicate with each other in words, and they were all very panicked, and even clashed over it......

From then on, the exiled masons no longer passed on the great learning, but secretly formed associations, using passwords, codes, and secret handshakes to prove their identity.

At this point, Captain Jack took Zhu Hui's hand in a strange way and made an elegant gesture, which means that although you are my supervisor, my identity is a descendant of the ancient Babylonian king Nimrod, and although my status in the organization is low, my background is much more noble than yours!

In the fourth millennium B.C., free masonry built the temple of King Solomon in Jerusalem, and in ancient Greece, they were called the Dienithius Architectural Troupe, and often held secret meetings next to the construction site, all believing that "God" was the great builder of the universe, who was well versed in cosmic astronomy, human anatomy, geometry, etc., and exchanged and learned from each other during the meeting, calling each other "brothers", and pursuing the spirit of brotherhood and solidarity.

Therefore, this year is called the "Year of Light" (i.e., Anno Lucis), and a great and mysterious organization was born, which is the "Freemasonry" that spreads all over the world.

Throughout most of his life, Captain Jack had been searching for a Tyler who could introduce him to the Guild, and at great cost to do so, and today, he was honored to be a true member of the Freemasonry Order.

Then Jack talks about his ancestors. He believed that Lucifer took Cain to see the secrets of the universe and past and present lives, all in this crystal ball, and that Lucifer was one of the thirteen crystal men; In addition, he firmly believed that in the hands of Venerable Venerable Lord Fili Lao in Bodosi, there might also be a crystal skull!

This groundbreaking assertion surprised Bai Haishan, first of all, he was shocked by Ma San's translation, whether as a Christian or as a protégé of Confucius and Mencius, at first he did not quite approve of the legend of the crystal man; Whether the Crystal Man was Lucifer or not has to be rediscovered now, but there is really no record in the Bible of whether Lucifer was an angel or Satan.

What is even more surprising is that if the Venerable Filip of the "Freemasonry" also has a crystal skull in his hand, I don't know what kind of story will happen?

Human exploration can not be complacent, let alone arrogant, the vast universe is endless, at this time, Bai Haishan can't help but think of the past that changed his life:

In order not to be coerced by pirates and gangs, he began to study Western seriously, and was protected by the Jesuits, so that he became a Christian and was able to read a book of "Stories of Maritime Travel".

The author of this book is the Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci, who in 1499 he and the Portuguese Ojeda led a fleet of ships that followed the route taken by Columbus and overcame many difficulties to reach the New World.

Amerigo made a detailed survey of the shores of the New World to compile a new map, which was published in 1507 A.D. and caused a worldwide sensation.

Based on this book, Europa scholars revised and supplemented Pudoremi's famous work "Cosmology" and renamed the New World under the name "Amerigo" in recognition of his outstanding contribution to mankind's understanding of the world. Today, the entire New World is divided into three parts, known as North, Central, and South America.

In Amerigo's book, the "discovery" of the New World, with its fascinating descriptions and vivid renderings of the continents, aroused a strong curiosity in Bai Haishan, so he risked his life to follow the missionaries to the New World, first to Acapulco, and then to Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, and Bolivia in South America, where he learned that there were many high-yielding crops.

has long had the intention of introducing these crops to the Ming Dynasty, but the Wang Zhi pirate group only knows about killing people and setting fires and robbing ill-gotten gains, and has no interest in it; When he came to Acapulco again, the first thing Bai Haishan did was to convince Shen Qi to let him go to various parts of South America to purchase those high-yielding crops and ship them back to China at all costs.

During his time on his way to procure high-yielding crops, Bai Haishan traveled all over Central and South America, and took the opportunity to visit Felipe and his parents in Putosi.

At that time, it seemed that they were preparing ships and recruiting sailors. The father and son were extremely indifferent to the arrival of Bai Haishan, probably because on the way to Acapulco, the young Felipe wanted to visit the southern continent, and used this as a reason for the king of the Spanish Empire to make him the governor of the southern continent, but Bai Haishan failed to fulfill his wishes, so he was given a cold reception by them.

Linked to the fact that old Filip may also have a crystal skull, it seems that their father and son can't care about business at all, no matter what, they have to let Felipe go to the southern continent to fulfill the dream of a governor, maybe they are now in the Gulf of New Guinea, and a bloody storm is coming......
