Han Xiaoyu approached them and asked with a puzzled face, "Then, why did the statue of Wa Huang Niangniang, as well as the Hetuluo Book and this crystal ball appear in the altar of the Akismos?" ”

"This is exactly the mystery we need to explore, and in the legendary Flood Era, there must be even more magical stories happening!" Bai Haishan nodded and replied.

"Could it be that the Kismoes and the Indians are from our China? Could it be that Tian Youcai guessed correctly? Zhu Hui asked in surprise.

"In my opinion, Tian Youcai is still far-fetched. Perhaps in the era of the flood and famine, these landmasses were all connected, or there were faster means of transportation at that time, which could shorten the distance between them, but not necessarily in the Yin Shang era, maybe earlier. ”

Just as they were returning to the cabin to rest, they suddenly heard the exclamation of a Westerner, and Bai Haishan could hear that this was "honest Erickson"; Immediately afterwards, all the sailors shouted, Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu hurriedly ran to the bow of the ship to watch, only to see a black shadow in front of them, coming towards the "Yellow River" with the wind downwind, but they did not see it raise its sails......

At this time, Erickson and the others ran to the deck to find Bai Haishan, and shouted loudly in a panic: "Mr. Captain, the ghost ship, the ghost ship is coming!" ”

"What is he talking about?" Han Xiaoyu leaned beside Zhu Hui and asked softly.

Zhu Hui pointed to the black shadow that rushed towards the bow of the ship, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "They seem to be saying that there are ghosts on that ship." ”

Han Xiaoyu, who has been familiar with the books of sages since childhood, naturally doesn't believe in any strange powers, but just now he witnessed the "miracle" of the crystal ball, and now he can't help but feel a little nervous when he thinks about it, and when he looks around, he doesn't see Bai Haishan, so he hurriedly closed his eyes and quickly threw himself into Zhu Hui's arms......

Devouring "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid." While comforting Han Xiaoyu, who was shivering, facing the whistling sea breeze, Zhu Hui asked in Western, "Mr. Erickson, what is that?" ”

"It's the ghost ship chasing ......" Then, Erikson, Nelson, and Smith began to talk about the origin of the ghost ship and why they were chasing Captain Jack, but unfortunately, Zhu Hui did not understand because they were talking cross-talking.

At this time, standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Hui saw clearly that this "ghost" was actually a very large speedboat, which was blowing in the wind and was sticking to the current and sticking to the "Yellow River". Obviously, this was done under the command of Bai Haishan.

But to the horror of Erikson, Nelson, and Smith, the three Westerners jumped up and down on deck, shouting at the ghost ship......

Erikson shouted: "Let's run away, this is the ghost ship of the Ekismos, the ghost of the shaman is looking for Jack's life, we fought him in San Francisco, it took more than a hundred deaths to get rid of it, this is all Jack's trouble, we are all affected by him!" ”

At this time, Nelson began to rub his hands and said helplessly: "Even if you die, you must die with dignity, let's fight the ghost together, God bless us!" ”

Smith sighed and shouted, "No, no, I don't want to die, Jack, you bastard, come out, the shaman is coming to settle accounts with you!" ”

Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu were both watching carefully, there was no movement on the ghost ship, thinking about it carefully, there should be a merchant ship shipwrecked, but I don't know who will be on the speedboat?

At this time, Bai Haishan led the sailors to the deck and instructed everyone to throw a cable with a hook to fix the speedboat.

Sensing that a sailor was about to go down, Erickson hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, shouting in horror: "Don't, don't go down, the shaman will eat you, and we will all be eaten......"

Although the sailor didn't know what he was talking about, he could see the look of fear on his face, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, no matter how Bai Haishan greeted everyone, no one dared to go down again.

Smith shouted, "Get Captain Jack here, it's all his fault, and he should be left alone." ”

Finding that Smith was still calm, Bai Haishan came to him and asked, "Who is the shaman?" ”

"He is the leader of the Kismoes, like a ghost, he can use magic, and when he was dying, he said that he would become a devil, and even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, he would ask Captain Jack for his life......"

Before Smith could finish speaking, Zhang Gou'er and Ma San escorted Captain Jack over and pushed him to the side of the ship, only to hear Bai Haishan ask in Western: "Mr. Jack, look carefully, is this the ghost ship that tracks you?" ”

Captain Jack covered his eyes and didn't dare to look down, and whispered in his mouth: "Shaman, shaman, you messenger of Satan, even if your soul chases here, you still can't escape God's punishment, please don't chase us anymore, may God bless you in heaven." ”

The dog kicked Jack hard and scolded, "Open your dog's eyes and see, it's not a ghost ship, it's just a speedboat." ”

At this time, Bai Haishan came over and asked, "Captain Jack, why is the shaman of the Kissmos chasing you?" ”

Jack looked down with the help of the firelight, and only then did he see clearly that it was not the ghost ship of the Ikismos, and his heart suddenly became much more relaxed, and he turned to Bai Haishan and smiled, but did not answer.

"Honest Mr. Erikson, what did you do to the shaman?" Bai Haishan asked loudly.

"For the sake of that crystal ball, Captain Jack killed the Shaman of the Akismoth, and the Shaman's spirit has been tracking us for ......"

I thought they were just stealing other people's things, but I didn't expect them to kill for money, this is a group of pirates who are even more cruel than Lin Feng, Bai Haishan's heart was suddenly shocked, it seems that he has to be careful in the future.

"Mr. Zhang, take Captain Jack away." As he spoke, Bai Haishan came over to comfort Erikson and the others, drew a cross on his chest, prayed silently for a while, and then said: "May the merciful Father, the Lord Almighty, shelter the soul of that poor man." I wonder if the three of you were involved in the killing of shamans? If so, please follow me in repentance, may the merciful Father forgive your sins, and if not, show that you are good people, and the Lord Almighty is with you, Amen. ”

Both Erikson and Nelson shook their heads and assured God that they were not involved in killing people and setting fires; Smith began to cry quietly......

"Mr. Smith, you are the lost lamb, and it is too late to repent......"

Before Bai Haishan finished speaking, Smith hurriedly raised his hands and said with a rather aggrieved attitude: "Dear Mr. Bai, you have misunderstood, you should know that the surname Smith is all blacksmiths, and the knives they use to kill people are all from my hands, I am guilty and I repent." ”

It seemed that he was more honest than Erickson, and Bai Haishan smiled slightly and said politely: "Mr. Smith is an honest, kind, and devout Christian......"

"Dear Mr. Bai, I'm afraid you have misunderstood again, you are the bravest, smartest, and kindest person I have ever met, I dare not lie in front of you, I, I am not the most devout Christian, in fact, I am a member of the 'Freemasonry'."

Hearing Smith's words, Bai Haishan was very shocked, he had traveled almost all over the world, and he had heard of this rather mysterious organization for a long time, but it was the first time that its members had encountered it.

Bai Haishan once asked Shen Qi why he named the merchant group "Mutual Aid Society", and Shen Qi's explanation was that Felipe gave the name, which means to ask everyone to cooperate sincerely in the New World, which means "helping each other in the same boat".

After that, Bai Haishan didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just translated according to the meaning of Western dialects, but now he ran into a member of the "Freemasonry", so he sent away all the sailors on the deck, and sent Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu to the speedboat to have a look, and he wanted to have a good chat with Smith.

With only the two of them left on deck, Bai Haishan asked, "May I ask Mr. Smith, is the 'Freemasonry' an organization like the Society of Jesus, the Society of the Commonwealth, and the Society of Augustine?" ”

"No, the Freemasonry is not only a Christian, but also a Hindu, and even a Jew and a Muslim, as long as you are a 'theist', you can join, but as far as I know, most of the people who participate in this organization are 'artisans'." Smith replied.

Hearing this, Bai Haishan couldn't help but think of Felipe's father, he was born as a stonemason, and now he opened a silver mine in Portosi, Felipe named Shen Qi's merchant group "Freemasonry", which seems to have a great meaning!

At the same time, Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu boarded the ghost ship along the cable, and found that the cabin was empty, as if there was nothing, just as the two were about to leave, a snow-white cat suddenly jumped out, meowed and jumped onto Han Xiaoyu's shoulder, with green light shining in his eyes, staring at Zhu Hui and screaming......

Han Xiaoyu shuddered, hugged the cat in her arms, and shouted coquettishly: "Childe, I'm so scared." As he spoke, he threw himself into his arms......

On the deck of the "Yellow River", Bai Haishan was still chatting with Smith and figured out the true face of "Freemasonry":

In the time of the ancient Greek city-states, the Europa were also polytheists, and since the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire, many mystical sects have emerged on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, and in the fourth century, they fell apart under the pressure of the Holy See, but retained the mysterious organization of "Freemasonry".

In the thirteenth century A.D., the Kebbalistic mystic system of Judaism dominated the sāo, during which some people began to promote Latin alchemy, and they believed that "God" was a personified "craftsman" according to Plato's "Ideal Republic", and that the universe was a handicraft created by this "great builder", and that the order of the universe came from the reason given by "God", and this external universe was called the Macrocosm, and all human beings were "universes" The shadow, which is a replica of the "god", is called the "microcosm". However, the materials used by the "gods" to create human beings are inherently flawed, and therefore, human beings are not "perfect".

If human beings can use reason as the criterion and morality as a tool to constantly correct their own flaws, then in the end, human beings will be perfect in the god of jīng by virtue of their own efforts. Based on this theory, the members of the Freemasons were called "masonry", and by practicing this "theology", each "masonry" needed to build the "Temple of Solomon" and complete the construction of the "inner temple" to become a perfect "masonry teacher" and then enter the realm of "God". All these things done by the "masonry" symbolize the pursuit of human perfection and self-improvement.

The members of the occult organization "Freemasonry" do not have to be Christians, but can join as long as they are theists, so it attracts Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Vulcanism and Muslim, and professionally speaking, stonemasons, blacksmiths and carpenters are the main force of this organization, and they represent the "triple great light" with symbols composed of rules, rulers and books.

Over the years, since the sixteenth century (the era described in this book), Freemasonry has spread to Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas in less than fifty years, forming a secret system rivaled that of the Catholic Church.

Bai Haishan remembered that he had seen Felipe's book painted with the "Freemasonry" logo, and it was clear that he and his father were both secret members of the "Freemasonry......
