Part 5 Pirate Legends 7, Sirius
It seems that Captain Jack really has a lot of treasures, Bai Haishan came to the cabin, took the cylinder from Han Xiaoyu's hand and looked into the distance, only to see a large flock of seabirds in front of him under the sunset......
"It's amazing! This is a must-have tool for future sailing. Bai Haishan said, hurriedly ran into the cabin again, for the dignity of Captain Jack, Bai Haishan did not use the stealing word, and asked, "Is this also what you got from the hands of the Akismos?" β
This sentence seemed to arouse the sadness of Captain Jack, rubbing the one eye, and replied with a whimper: "Ah, no, there was a monk from Naples, Italy, when he was in exile, and when he came to our village, he almost starved to death, and was saved by my wife Anna, and in return, he gave me several lenses, and I stumbled upon the fact that when two lenses are superimposed together, I can see distant objects clearly, so I made this telescope to look at the stars and the moon, but when I was looking at the sun, Blinded by the blazing light......"
When Bai Haishan translated these words to the big guys, he almost made those soldiers fall down......
Zhu Hui scolded: "Don't laugh, what's so funny about this, Captain Jack's discovery is so great, he also lost an eye for it, and his wife Lady Anna also paid for it!" β
Bai Haishan nodded silently, played with the telescope thoughtfully, and continued to ask, "Captain Jack, may I ask why this Neapolitan monk is in exile?" β
Hearing that he had read Copernicus's Theory of the Motions of the Heavenly Bodies, he had doubts about theology and had written articles critical of the Bible, which angered the Holy See, and the Inquisition accused him of heresy and excommunicated him. But he remained steadfast in his views, and in order to escape judgment he left the convent, he was wanted by the Inquisition, and he had no place in the whole of Italy, so he crossed the Alps and went into exile in Geneva, where he was persecuted by the Calvinists, and then moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands......"
Before Captain Jack could finish speaking, Bai Haishan couldn't wait to ask, "May I ask what is the name of this monk?" β
"Giordano? Bruno Giordano? Bruno. β
Bai Haishan slapped his face after hearing this, and said loudly: "Two sons, Miss Han, please remember the name Bruno for me." If you have the opportunity to go to Europa in the future, you will definitely meet this respectable Mr. Bruno. β
Someone came to bring dinner to everyone, and when eating, it was getting dark, Zhang Gou'er got up to light the lamp, Bai Haishan hurriedly gave him a look, and Captain Jack saw this, and hurriedly took off his cloak, covered it with a crystal ball and a crystal skull, and sat down to continue eating.
"Captain Bai, since everyone is in the same boat, I guarantee that I will not cause trouble again, and I will keep the crystal ball and skull." As he spoke, Captain Jack picked up these two things with his clothes and wanted to go out.
Bai Haishan stood up, stopped him, and said, "Wait, Captain Jack, it's about to get dark, I want to see what kind of astrology you know?" β
Captain Jack knew that he couldn't fight Bai Haishan, so he had to reply with a smile: "Hehe, this, I can't teach you for a while, let's talk about it when I have kung fu." β
Zhang Gou'er snatched the crystal ball and skull, and came to the deck with Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu, looking at the stars in the sky, looking forward to a miracle......
After about a quarter of an hour, the black and white pisces in the crystal ball glowed blue, and the bubble-like stars around it were lined up, and one of the long lines pointed to the crystal skull, so Zhu Hui swam around the deck with this skull, and the line in the crystal ball pointed to the location of the skull.
Zhu Hui carefully observed the cranial cavity of the crystal skull, and found that the bubbles inside were also lined up in lines of different lengths and verticals, among which the longest one always pointed to Han Xiaoyu, and there was a slight change as Han Xiaoyu moved, while the other short lines did not change at all, and at this moment, Han Xiaoyu was holding the crystal finger.
Judging by the radial straight lines in the skull cavity of the crystal skull, there should be a lot of parts of the crystal man's body in the southwest and northeast directions of the ocean, and it seems that what Captain Jack did was judged entirely by the guidance of the crystal ball and the skull, and he may not know any astrology at all.
Having figured out the secret of the crystal ball, the trio returned to the cabin and found Captain Jack listlessly on the verge of falling asleep like a frosted eggplant.
"Old Fellow Bai, you ask this foreign devil, if I hadn't taken that finger away from Che-Roy's body, would this one-eyed dragon kill him?" Ma San asked.
So, Bai Haishan asked: "May I ask Captain Jack, this finger was originally in the hand of an Indian, if he hadn't stolen it, what would you have done when you chased it to San Diego Cathedral?" β
"We were heading for the Cathedral of San Diego, but the skull showed that the crystal had changed its position, and it took us a long time to find the docks. If the crystal had been in the hands of the Indian, we would have killed him, and set fire to the cathedral, and let the stupid priests die. Captain Jack replied angrily, as it seemed that although he was a devout Christian, he had formed a deep enmity with the priests of the church.
Everything was not unexpected, Bai Haishan was also very emotional, and said to Ma San: "You bastard saved the lives of Che-Roy and Father Mendoza by mistake, but today I will remind you that if you have petty theft, you will chop off your hand!" β
Ma Sancheng made a frightened gesture, bowed his head and replied: "Don't worry, old Bai senior, I will never steal anything in the future." β
"Good! The two Dharma protectors heard the truth, and if Ma San made a mistake in the future, he would chop off his hand! β
Late at night, Zhang Gou'er escorted Captain Jack to rest, Bai Haishan sent away Ma San and the others, collected the crystal skull and fingers, and let Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu come to the deck with crystal balls and binoculars.
"Old man Bai, Captain Jack originally wanted to give up that crystal skull and use the statue of Nuwa Niangniang and two bluestone slabs of Hetuluo to get through, he must have another intention to carry a crystal ball, don't you think?" Zhu Hui asked.
"Yes, with this crystal ball, you can find all the crystal skulls, through the guidance of the skull, you can find all the parts of the crystal man's body, and after restoring the crystal man, you can get the magic power to rule this world, this is the secret that Captain Jack said." Bai Haishan replied.
Han Xiaoyu, who was carefully observing the crystal ball, suddenly saw a ray of light from the sky enter the crystal ball, hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at the sky, and said in surprise: "That dark red Sirius seems to have brightened and is projecting a pillar of light towards us. β
At this time, Zhu Hui suddenly remembered what happened in the Mariana Sea, when the bronze mirror once emitted an upright pillar of light towards Sirius, but unfortunately, the bronze mirror was not with him now.
Because what happened that night was so magical, especially the sailors who saw the red light in the sea, it seemed that they had lost their memory, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality, so he didn't tell anyone in his heart.
Han Xiaoyu handed the telescope to Zhu Hui and said, "Childe, come and take a look." β
Zhu Hui took the telescope and looked at the position of Sirius, and looked at it carefully for a long time, but the usual dark red star became a little larger<="..
Han Xiaoyu leaned towards him, put the bun on his head on Zhu Hui's neck, stretched out his hand, pointed along the telescope, and asked softly, "Childe, that pillar of light disappeared, right?" β
A burst of girl's unique fragrance hit, Zhu Hui suddenly shuddered, the telescope almost slipped off his hand, Han Xiaoyu hurriedly stretched out one hand to hold the telescope, and the other hand wrapped around his waist......
"Childe, youβWhat else did you see?" Han Xiaoyu asked.
Zhu Hui held his breath and put down the telescope he was holding, thinking that Han Xiaoyu would let go of the hand around his waist, but suddenly felt hugged tighter by her, and his face suddenly felt hot, and he glanced sideways at Bai Haishan and found that he was staring at the crystal ball glowing with blue light.
"Xiaoyu, let's not, don't be like this, it's not good for people to see it." Zhu Hui persuaded softly.
Han Xiaoyu's face was also flushed, and her heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water, seven up and eight down, her nose was sore, and tears fell......
"Childe, do you remember when we crossed the river together to invite Master Moonlight?" Han Xiaoyu asked with a whimper.
"Xiaoyu, I can't hurt you, I can't delay your lifelong ......"
"Don't say it anymore, the moment I escaped from Cuihua Tower, my heart was already dead, and it was you who gave me the courage to live. Childe, I really don't lie to you, just the night before I met you, I had a dream that a young man rode a white dragon horse, shouted my name, and galloped from the eastern sea......"
"Xiaoyu, I've heard you say it, it's just a dream."
"It's not that simple." Han Xiaoyu said, lying his head on Zhu Hui's back, and then said: "Just when you were floating on the white dragon horse, there were countless pirate ships chasing you, you called my name, pulled me onto the horse, our horse turned into a giant dragon and soared into the sky, just like now, I hugged you tightly and didn't dare to look up, I don't know how long it took, we flew together, flew to, flew to......"
"Where did it fly?" Zhu Hui couldn't help but ask.
"Sirius!"
Zhu Hui, who had his eyes closed, couldn't help but raise his head, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Bai Haishan was standing close to him, and he almost fell down in fright......
"In the future, you still have a long way to go, do it and cherish it, don't let it down like me......"
Hearing Bai Haishan's voice, Han Xiaoyu hurriedly let go of Zhu Hui and hid to the side shyly.
"Senior Bai, you, who have you failed and failed you?" Zhu Hui stammered and asked
"Housheng, don't worry, it's not too late to tell you when we get to the Bay of Papua." Bai Haishan said, handed the crystal ball to Zhu Hui, and then said: "Take a look, I judge that there are at least thirteen crystal skulls in this world, they are scattered all over the world, there may be ten in the New World, and the other three may be in the territory of our Ming Dynasty. β
"Where the hell did the Crystal Man come from? Why was it torn apart and scattered all over the world? β
"I can't say, as far as I know, whether it's our Ming Dynasty, or Europa, or Persians, no one can carve such a crystal skull, and I suspect more and more that this crystal person is also a human like us, and they may come from that star."
Looking at the sky that Bai Haishan pointed to, it was the dark red Sirius!
