Part 5 Pirate Legend 52, on his deathbed
Since the few prisoners of war who were willing to work as meticulous escaped, Zhu Hui and others found that the enemy's magical speedboat had not come recently.
In the past two days, two of the finest have secretly gone to Osea to report on Carlos's situation.
It turned out that Carlos sent someone to Madrid in a magical speedboat, and he wanted to accuse the Governor of New Spain of deliberately concealing Sir Mendena's discovery of "Solomon's treasure", but conniving at the merchants of Putosi to secretly hunt for treasure, and even not swearing sovereignty over the Solomon Islands.
Now that Sapello has been imprisoned, Tridani has been thrown into the sea with two rings, Wu Xiang, Jack and Simon Almeida are still imprisoned, and the captives stranded in the New Guinea peninsula, Carlos has given up, but he is still transferring troops from Acapulco, and he is in danger of not giving up until he finds the treasure, even if Felipe complains in front of the governor of New Spain, he is not afraid.
Carlos has learned to make cocktails, even Wu Xiang doesn't need it, Simon Almeida is deeply despised by them, and suffers the most, Jack is still threatening the matter of the crystal bracelet, forcing Carlos not to dare to do anything to them, however, I am afraid that Jack will soon lose his value, I heard that Carlos has sent someone to Potosi to get the Mayans who know witchcraft.
Since Felipe returned, old Fili was not too worried about the business of Potosi and Acapulco, and when he learned about Carlos's movements, he first felt sorry for Tridani, and had a certain affection for the pirate Jack, and what he feared most would eventually happen, the Mayan called himself "Kukulcan", the name is said to be an extraterritorial god, depicted as a long-feathered snake, who knows what kind of spell this mysterious wizard can do? What treasure is he still hiding in his hand?
So, old Fili went to Bai Haishan and had a deep discussion on the three issues he was concerned about......
First of all, the so-called "Solomon Treasure", was it transported by Bai Haishan?
To this, Bai Haishan gave a clear answer, as for why he hid in the "Solomon Islands", he has his own secret at present, but the treasure has been enchanted, unless there is a supernatural power, no one wants to get it again.
Secondly, the Mayans with extraordinary abilities appeared, so could Carlos find the treasure? Bai Haishan has already taken a countermeasure to this problem, and will soon send Zhu Hui back to Acapulco, and will bring an even more magical old man to deal with this Mayan who calls himself "Kukulcan".
In the end, Old Fili asked Bai Haishan when he would fulfill his promise and take their father and son to the southern New World......
"Sir, if I live until the day Felipe returns, I should fulfill my promise, and whether he can become governor depends on his own creation, and you and I are at the age when it is time to see God, so we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven, and let it be."
Old Filip has been recovering well lately, and when he mentions seeing God, he can't help but sigh secretly.
"Mr. Bai, you are a rare wise man, I follow your advice. I know that the tribal chieftain is your son, and that you are a true colonial governor who will surely unite the islands of New Guinea and establish an 'ideal state' here, but why don't you keep the treasure for yourself? ”
"I have already answered this question, and it is not only gold and silver treasures, but you have not seen that many of them have been distributed to the islanders, and if they had not been for their gold and silver, how could they have attracted the attention of Sir Mendner, and this question should not be discussed again."
The more Bai Haishan said this, the more it aroused the curiosity of old Filip.
"Truth be told, I have given up all of Bodosi's riches and am ready to accompany you to die on this island, so if you can't reveal the secret to me, I won't be blind to death."
Bai Haishan couldn't help but look at Lao Fili carefully, feeling that his days were running out, so he couldn't help but hold his hand, quite sympathetic.
"You and I have gone through all the vicissitudes of life, and now we are in the last years of the storm, and the old gentleman has lived in Oseia for many days, so please answer me first, who is the most trustworthy here besides Chief Oreto, and who is the most ambitious and arrogant?"
Old Filipe replied without hesitation: "That young Zhu Hui is trustworthy, Cheng Guanzhong is an ambitious and arrogant man, but he is in Taoguang, once you die, or there are external forces involved, he will inevitably make waves, and that Lin Feng has experienced wind and rain, scheming, and can fight habitually, but he is relatively narrow-minded, good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and he can't be of great use, so he must send this person back to Acapulco, maybe he can take on more responsibilities." ”
Bai Haishan nodded, pondered for a long time, raised his head and asked, "Then why is Zhu Hui trustworthy?" ”
"After we put the crystal man together, the man didn't say a word, the first thing was to look for the crystal bracelet, indicating that this thing must have extraordinary magic, Tridani once told me, this bracelet is worn on whomever it can arouse whose ambition, as far as I know, now this bracelet is in Zhu Hui's hand, I have carefully observed, and asked someone to secretly investigate, he has never worn it on his hand once, so I made this judgment."
After hearing this, Bai Haishan thought it was true, and then asked, "Old Mr. Fili, where did your crystal skull come from?" Why do you believe that the Crystal Man can be resurrected? And at all costs, come to Osea to buy that crystal body? ”
"As a member of Freemasonry, I am not a Lord, but a senior overseer of the New World, my Majesty is from the Persian plateau, but he is a mysterious Brahman, a descendant of the kings contained in the epics of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, quite mysterious anyway, he was also a treasurer in Jerusalem, he can go anywhere in the world at any time, I don't know how he did it, once he came to me for silver, and it happened that Tridani bought the crystal skull from the Mayans, and he wanted to take it with him, I didn't agree, he said that if he could find the body, he could resurrect this crystal man with infinite magical power, I believed his words, and later, Tridani, a bastard known for his search for the Southern New World, quietly searched for treasure in the Solomon Islands, only to learn that the Oseia tribe has a crystal body, in order to verify what my Venerable said, this was bought from your son at all costs. ”
Bai Haishan had already judged that around Old Fili, there were not only liars like Tridani and Mayan, there would definitely be peerless masters, but he didn't expect it to be so high! It seems that if that master appears, I'm afraid that even Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren will be powerless, and they will be stunned for a moment.
"May I ask Mr. Filip, did that Venerable come back later?"
"No, maybe he had too much money to take away from me last time, and he hasn't spent it yet."
"Then why don't you ask him to lead your father and son to the Southern New World?"
"Felipe was still in the Philippines at the time, and I wanted to leave this honor to my son, but I did ask him if he could go to Manila and send my son to the Southern New World, and he said, what you see of me is just an illusion, how can an illusion lead the real thing? He asked me to ship the silver to Malacca, and he had sent someone to wait there, and I wanted to shake his hand and keep him for a meal, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. ”
"How many times have you met?"
"In the past, His Holiness and I participated in Freemasonry matters by passing documents through messengers. On that occasion, I had just received a letter one day that His Holiness was coming, and before he could prepare for the reception, he arrived, and I was very strange, and he said that he had only appeared once because he had too much money to ask for, and it was not until a year later that I received a letter from the messenger that the money had been delivered to Jerusalem. ”
It seems that although the old Filip is in the New World, he is very enthusiastic about the internal affairs of Freemasonry, and he can't help but arouse Bai Haishan's curiosity.
"What are they going to do with that money?"
"According to His Holiness's prediction, there will be a super comet approaching our planet, and even if the two do not collide, the resulting tidal wave may cause a second great flood, and more than eighty percent of humanity will die from this catastrophe, so they need a large sum of money to protect the elite and family of this world, and for this reason, we are prepared in Portosi to deal with this human crisis."
"So, does this human crisis still exist?"
"For Felipe's safety, I hurriedly wrote to him and asked him to return to Putosi as soon as possible, but I couldn't say it explicitly, so as not to cause panic in the world, but he came back from Manila a year later, and I was worried every day, but fortunately, the crisis had passed, and last year, almost everyone in Europa had seen this big red comet, with a long tail and a red flame, and finally it ended up somewhere, and in Prague, some artists even made bold imaginations and painted many amazing works, The Italian Galileo and the Danish Tycho, who were quite accomplished in astronomy, participated in this debate, and many people concealed their identities in order not to keep Freemasonry from the control of the Holy See, so I do not know whether Galileo, Tycho and others were Freemasons. ”
About the secret of the old Filip, basically confessed, but why Bai Haishan hid the golden covenant chest in the Solomon Islands is still a mystery, under the repeated questioning of the old Filip, the two first reached a contract to keep the secret together, and then the mystery was revealed.
It turned out that after the pirate king deceived the golden ark of the covenant, he learned that it was the restraint of "God" on human beings, and that it contained the precepts that human beings must abide by, and they needed to be opened with the light of "God".
"God" passed the human precepts to Moses on Mount Sinai and engraved them on the stone tablet, but Moses' people did not keep the "Ten Commandments", Moses smashed the stone tablet in a fit of rage, and "God" ordered him to make a golden ark, put the contract between man and God into the ark, and seal it, in order to keep these precepts from being broken, the key to open the golden ark of the covenant was given by "God" to Yu, who led mankind to govern the Great Flood, about this secret, for more than 2,800 years, it has not been known to outsiders.
This bronze mirror fell to the land of Oriental Shenzhou, and it is said that it has been kept in the palace and is unknown, so the king hopes to obtain this mysterious bronze mirror by accepting the imperial court's recruitment, so Bai Haishan will sink the golden ark to the bottom of the sea forever.
So, why did Wang Zhi know the secret between the bronze mirror and the golden ark? How could Bai Haishan see through his conspiracy? Bai Haishan did not give an explanation for this mystery.

In 1577, a super-large comet came to the earth and played a joke on mankind in the sky, but its appearance attracted the attention of all mankind, so that the nature of the comet and related scientific theories were valued and re-evaluated. As mentioned in the book, on the 12th of the month, the comet was seen by all Europeans. Brahe, who made detailed observations and calculations of the comet, based on which Galileo proposed the theory of optics, and artists such as Hitzky created stunning paintings, which can be regarded as a "great event" in the Middle Ages.
