Can you live forever

Chapter 19 Ancient God's Legacy Scroll, Indescribable

It's not a restaurant that has a ghostly look.

Instead, he was sitting on the Xiluo man at the table a few meters away.

Among the mercenaries in Poyang Lake, there are actually not many knights from the Xiluo people, but more... pirates.

Dressed in sloppy clothes, with machetes and firecrackers pinned to their waists, and hats or cloth belts on their heads, a group of four were muttering around a broken wooden box that seemed to be soaked in seawater.

Zhang Yonghuan is not a warrior with good ears, but he is also sharp and able to hear.

He understands Sibanian (Spain).

A sect always has a division of labor, and Zhang Yonghuan's division of labor is to receive foreign affairs. In recent years, many missionaries have come to Xiluozhou. Although their teachings and ideas seem to be worthless.

But the experience of Buddhism at that time came first.

Buddhism has declined in its birthplace, but after combining with the local Chinese culture, it has developed a great school like Zen, and Buddhism has a stronger vitality.

Tianshifu believes that Catholicism cannot show its potential because it has not been integrated with Chinese culture.

Therefore, the old master asked Zhang Yonghuan and others to learn Franco and Sibanian, and translated and learned Catholic teachings by himself, trying to find the shining points in the teachings, and realize the kind of "stones from other mountains can be attacked" similar to Buddhism. Jade".

The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China.

Why is it often said that the unity of the three religions is the complete way?Because Taoism solves the relationship between man and nature, Confucianism solves the relationship between people, and Buddhism solves the relationship between people and themselves.

In this way, since the Song and Ming Dynasties, both Quanzhen Taoism and Xinxue have been advocating the integration of the three religions.

and so.

The Tianshi Mansion wanted to see if there was anything Catholicism could rely on, but... anyway, Zhang Yonghuan had read the Bible and some doctrinal books for more than ten years, but he didn't see anything interesting.

The conclusion reached is that Catholicism is a pure religion with skills but no morals.

Although he has studied for more than ten years, Zhang Yonghuan still learned two more foreign languages, so that he can understand what the four Xiluo people are saying.

The four Siro were not in the same gang.

Three of them are members of the Tianwang Gang, the Xu family's faction in Poyang Lake, and the other is a captain engaged in world trade and robbery. They are called "Captain Pike"...

Pike Nin, a native of Sibania.

He is a free captain in the era of great voyages that started after Zheng He's fleet arrived in Sibania and brought world geography.

The so-called freeman captain...

In fact, they are sailing with pirates as their main business, and they will do some business by the way. They are mainly engaged in robbery, and they are not good at doing business, so they seldom take the mature route from Xiluozhou to Daming. To find the "treasure".

Parker originally had a sea-going ship of 157 materials, with 1 crew members. (Ancient ships use "material" as the unit to represent buoyancy, which can be regarded as 0.325 material = [-] tons.)
In the early years, I robbed some wealth.

But half a year ago, I returned with a full load via Nanshangzhou, walked through the Pewter Neighborhood Strait, went west along Antarctica, and prepared to enter the Southeast China Sea, and then arrived in Daming to consume the harvest of this trip and exchange it for goods to return to Xiluozhou .

This is a less traveled route.

Even for Zheng He's fleet back then, during the sixth voyage, although the Hongbao route and Zhouman route completed their return from Nanshangzhou around the "Dragon's Tail", they suffered heavy losses on the way back. Only a small number of troops returned to Daming, and most of them stayed there, waiting for rescue in the foreseeable future.

Pike's adventurous spirit made him decide to challenge this route.

In the end, he was wrong.

He thought that the weather and ocean currents were the only obstacles to Zheng He's fleet, but it turned out that things were not that simple. After passing through Sand Island and entering the Pewter Sea, everything changed.

The sky suddenly became dark, as if a rainstorm was coming.

The coming of the storm made them panic, but their courage and experience were enough to face it, far from the moment of fear and despair. However, in the storm, what appeared was not the wind and waves of the sea, but...

Pike suddenly shuddered.

His mind was blank. He only remembered that it was the supreme fear, but he couldn't remember what it was. He was the only one who survived the entire fleet. He was the only one left on some broken ships after the storm. Nobody even saw a dead body!

What's even more weird is that his boat had just passed Shadao, but he had already arrived in Luzon after he woke up! !

Then, he meets the pirates...

All the gold and silver on board was looted, but the pirates kindly trafficked him to Daming. He was originally sold for mining.

It stands to reason that they are rich in experience, and it is even more impossible for Pike to escape. He can only be beaten into slavery and serve as a slave for the rest of his life.

but……

Pike looked at the three compatriots, he leaned forward, pressed on the wooden box, looked at them with empty eyes, and whispered: "All my gold, silver and wealth have been taken away, they didn't even give I leave a ring behind."

"But I was in the cage, but I found something in my arms."

"I took it out and saw that it was this box, an extremely familiar box..."

"Do you want to see it?"

"Just open it gently..."

Pike was about to open the box, when the three pirates who worked for the Heavenly King Gang, the leader of them, Blanco held Pike's hand to open the box, and said in a cold voice, "That's the fear of the deep sea, Pike. Are you going to open the box?" Let the devil out?"

Obviously, Blanco is not a noob.

He had more or less heard the story of Pike, and there was definitely a devil in that box.

"Are you afraid?"

Pike grinned, his demeanor was very calm and annoying. Blanco thought for a moment, then let go of his hand, allowing Pike to slowly push the box open, revealing the true contents of the item inside, a parchment scroll.

"Look, it's all right."

"The devil will not be released so easily. The power of the devil lies in the words. As long as you don't read those words, nothing will happen."

"But if you see the text..."

"You'd go mad and die in terror."

"This is my grace, the grace given to me by the ancient gods after taking away my 157 crew members. It is also a grand summoning ceremony. As long as there are enough sacrifices, the ancient gods will come."

"Eat everything."

"I heard that next month, there will be a war here, isn't it?"

"Branko, introduce your master to me. This ancient tome can bring you everything you want, and I just want to regain my wealth."

"It's a win-win business."

(PS: Menzies believes that Zheng He’s fleet was divided into four teams during the sixth voyage, and the four teams took different routes. Hong Bao, Zhou Man, Zhou Wen, and Yang Qing, among them, Hong Bao and Zhou Man were all Passing through South America through the Strait of Magellan and heading west to Daming, Hong Bao walked along Antarctica, Zhou Man went to Peru, and then across the Pacific Ocean. Menzies’ research is not rigorous, it is for reference only, but it should be useless for me to write novels questionable.)
