077, have you ever heard of the art of raising the yuan?
Many people's impression of the natives of the Black Wilderness Continent is that they have dark skin, thick lips, a flat nose, and their hair sticks to their scalp with thin curls, but this is not the case.
There are many tribes on the Black Wilderness Continent since ancient times, and the differences in physical characteristics between them are very large, some are even greater than the differences between the Dongguo people and the Luoba people, and it should be a misunderstanding to regard them all as the same race.
Manman is much lighter than the Guru here, but she is not of mixed race, but a standard Black Wilderness native, and their people have been in this physical trait since ancient times, and first lived in the areas north of the country of Jili. Due to climate change and various wars and conflicts, the population of this tribe is now very small, and there is almost no permanent habitat.
The tribe to which Manman belonged migrated to Afsom twelve years ago, just in time for the recovery period from the riots in Afso, settled near the port, some of them fishing for a living, others finding work at the docks. Today, there are more than 900 old, weak, women and children, and they are very united.
Manman's identity is equivalent to the leader of this tribe, because she has been blessed by the god of the sea.
Hua Zhenxing paid attention to his skills in speaking, for example, he asked Man Man along the topic that night: "You told me that day, the sea god said that you can't take other people's things for no reason. What's going on, is the god of the sea a god you believe in, and what else did he say? β
The earliest names of this tribe living in Fisoharto are unknown, but they now call themselves the Poseidon clan. It is not known what language they used in ancient times, but today they use the local vernacular, which has no written language.
Therefore, although they believe in the god of the sea, there are no classics in the clan, only the "god of the sea said" passed down by word of mouthββ
1. The god of the sea says that those who serve the god of the sea with a pure heart will be blessed.
2. The god of the sea said, "Do not make an image of me, for that would cause people to forget the faith I have guided them and to pray only to my image."
3. The god of the sea said, "You must not act in my name, and everyone must be responsible for their own choices."
Fourth, the sea god said, no work is worthless, everyone must do things to get paid, can not be lazy, can not take other people's things for no reason.
Fifth, the sea god said that to be united, the tribe must care for and help each other in order to cope with the test of suffering.
Sixth, the god of the sea said that innocent people should not be harmed.
7. Poseidon said that when innocent people are hurt, help them, punish those who hurt, and apologize for not making up for the harm is not accepted.
8. Poseidon said that harm is the premise of punishment.
9. The god of the sea said that you must be honest and cannot frame others with lies.
10. The god of the sea says that we should respect our neighbor as we respect ourselves.
Hua Zhenxing blinked when he heard this, and he wanted to ask Man Man if he had read the Bible and knew the "Ten Commandments" in it, but he still held back. I don't know how long the history of the Poseidon clan is, and it is impossible to say how many versions of various ancient myths have circulated in history, and it is impossible to say who absorbs whom and who integrates them.
The Poseidon clan all believe in the god of the sea, and everyone must memorize the "Poseidon Theory" from the beginning of speaking, which is equivalent to the enlightenment education of this tribe. None of them had ever seen the god of the sea, and of course it was unlikely that they would see one, but they firmly believed that "those who serve the god of the sea" could receive "the blessing of the god of the sea", and there are real examples in the history of the tribe.
The Poseidon clan has a special name for this type of person, which can barely be called priest, but in fact its meaning is more complicated, and it is not exactly the concept of priest in Eastern Chinese. In Hua Zhenxing's view, it can also be understood as a "water system specialized magician", or a monk with some kind of unique inheritance.
This secret technique is only mastered by priests, and in the legends and collective memories of the clansmen, such priests were once a group, passed down from generation to generation, and the tribe was very powerful...... But later, for various reasons, the powerful tribe fell apart and was on the verge of extinction.
Their 1,000-strong men, led by a priest, gradually moved south along the coastline, and their survival became increasingly difficult, and with the death of the last priest, they were almost desperate. When a priest dies, the head of the clan is an improvised patriarch, who, unlike the traditional priest, does not have the ability to control water.
Before his death, the last old priest told the patriarch in detail how to get the blessing of the sea god, awaken the power, how to practice and what can be done after awakening the power, combined with his own personal experience, and let him write it down exactly a word.
The patriarch received a gift from the last priest, but no matter what he did, he did not awaken the power, so he pinned his hopes on the children of the clan. He would do nothing himself, but let the children do as the old priest had told them, and in the process they migrated to Philadelphia, where there were less than seven hundred men left.
Seven years ago, there was finally a child who succeeded, according to the old priest's last words, she should have been blessed by the god of the sea, and passed the test of the god of the sea, and successfully awakened the power, this child is Manman. Manman was still young at the time, so progress in practice was very slow, and it wasn't until four years ago that she mastered water control, and she immediately showed great talent.
Since then, Manman has become the new priest of the tribe, but her identity is unknown to outsiders, and she has never considered herself the god of the sea...... The relatively closed neighborhood culture and the information environment without written words made it easy to spread false information, and the matter later became what Charles had heard.
After listening to this history, Hua Zhenxing also understood why Manman's methods were seriously biased, and he wouldn't play anything else except for being able to control water, because she didn't know! The priestly lineage of this tribe has actually been broken, and the old patriarch who taught her just mechanically carried out the old priest's last words, and he himself didn't even understand anything.
When the Poseidon Clan first came to Fesogang, there were less than 700 people left, and now there are more than 900 people in the clan, indicating that their situation has improved relatively well. This is also related to the "Poseidon Gang", which is, after all, the second largest force in the North Bay District after the Golden Gang.
In fact, the appearance of the Poseidon Gang was a misunderstanding, because the Poseidon Clan was very united. A tribal branch with such a small number of people came to a strange place, was ostracized and discriminated against, and it was difficult to survive without unity.
Hua Zhenxing heard it right, the Seagod Clan was indeed discriminated against and ostracized, the main reason was that they looked different, especially their skin color was neither black nor so white, much like a certain mixed-race race in the Nanjian Continent. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, they are the tribes of the Black Wilderness Continent since ancient times, but even if it is not a misunderstanding, it cannot change the facts.
On the other hand, they were lucky enough to arrive at the port of Africa, just in time for the construction and development of the international terminal. They were more hard-working than many locals, and most of them were involved in the construction of the docks and later became dock workers.
Manual labor also has professional skills, and these skills need to be learned and experienced by doing. Employers at international terminals are of course willing to hire hard-working, more efficient workers, so they are becoming the core of the industry.
Some people have also mastered the operation methods of some simple machines, which has formed a technical advantage barrier. And if outsiders want to join this group, they must first get their approval and work under their guidance.
So the Poseidon Gang appeared, which was not the self-name of the Poseidon clan at the earliest, but the name given by other gangs to the entire group. The real person in charge of the Seagod Clan is still the old patriarch who "taught" Manman's cultivation, and he is actually very young, and he is only in his thirties this year.
Manman has a very special position among the Poseidon clan, having a higher authority than the patriarch, and is the true leader of the clan in the traditional and spiritual sense. But Manman is still young, and she also respects the old patriarch very much, so the old patriarch still manages the daily affairs and usually does not interfere.
As for Manman's age, let alone herself, she can't even remember the old patriarch. She was born on the migration of the tribes, and her father was unknown, and her mother died of illness soon after.
It is the custom of the tribe to put the young children together and be cared for by the women of the clan. Children like Manman, sometimes they can't tell who is who, and they often have names after they speak. Not only Manman, but also many of the people who were born before arriving in Port Feso, did not know their exact age.
The Poseidon came to Philosopher twelve years ago, when Manman was already able to walk, speak, and memorize the Poseidon Language. From this, it can be inferred that she should be about the same age as Hua Zhenxing, one or two years older or one or two years younger.
The new alliance has a big move in the North Bay area, if the Golden Gang is defeated, the next step may be to annex the territory of the Poseidon Gang, this is the judgment of the old patriarch. The old patriarch also carefully investigated the situation of the new alliance, and thought that he might be able to join the new alliance in the future, but the current situation is unclear, and he cannot take the initiative to get involved in the conflict between the new alliance and the Golden Gang.
For such a major decision, the old patriarch would of course discuss it with Manman. And Manman is also paying attention to the situation of the new alliance, she has noticed Hua Zhenxing from the beginning, and thinks that compared to Charles, Hua Zhenxing is the one who really has the final say.
Although Old Man Yang said that this girl was a little lacking in heart, she was more capable and her eyesight was indeed better. She has been secretly paying attention to Hua Zhenxing, and she also helped him. Of course, she hoped that the new alliance would be able to kill the Golden Gang, so when she found any danger, she took the initiative to remind Hua Zhenxing, but she didn't expect to be "found" by Hua Zhenxing and made an appointment at home.
After hearing this, Hua Zhenxing turned on his mobile phone and asked, "Is this the old patriarch of the Seagod Clan?" He was here yesterday to help you get your phone, what's his name? β
Manman nodded, "Yes, that's him!" His name is Zasin, how can you have a picture of Zasin in your phone? β
Hua Zhenxing: "Give me your mobile phone, there are many functions besides making calls, I will teach you how to use it...... Let's use the Chinese interface, even if you don't know these words, you can remember how to operate. β
Of course, Zasin's photo was secretly taken by Li Xiaoyang yesterday, and this old patriarch is much darker than Manman. So Li Xiaoyang was also negligent, and didn't realize what was the difference between him and the local natives, everyone's facial features were different, maybe this person's appearance was not so popular.
Hua Zhenxing only now understands that the reason why Za Xin is so dark is purely because he was sunburned on the dock, didn't he see that Uncle Mo's skin was also quite dark? And many people in the Poseidon Gang are darker, so they should also be tanned, but Manman looks a little different.
After chatting about their historical backgrounds, the two began to study modern technology again, Hua Zhenxing taught Man Man how to unlock various functions of modern smartphones, and also helped her download several applications.
The two of them were originally sitting facing each other across the stone table, and there was a stone pier on all sides of the stone table that was used as a seat.
While researching his mobile phone, Man Man inadvertently asked, "Hua, who did you learn your witchcraft from?" β
Hua Zhenxing: "That's not witchcraft, and I don't believe in the god of the sea." β
Manman: "I know you're not from the Poseidon Clan, so who gave you the power?" β
Hua Zhenxing: "It's not the power that anyone gave me, it's the realm that I cultivated myself...... Have you ever heard of the art of nourishing the elements? β
