069 Nonglu God
Kaeo, the chief of the Wahu tribe, who was holding a sacrificial celebration, was naΓ―ve when he heard of this incredible thing. οΌοΌ
"A palace floating on the sea? Such a miracle, just in time for our celebration, must have come down to earth in person, our prayers have been effective, and the god of Nong Lu has appeared. Caio shouted.
A few natives were very skeptical, and some said: "But we guys, just like ordinary people, don't look like gods." β
Chief Kao pushed the man away and said, "Is it possible for an ordinary person to have a palace that can move on the sea?" If you think about it, our legend says that every year when we worship the god Nongroku, if the god Nonroku feels our piety, he will appear to the spirit. Doesn't the luxurious living of the god Nonglu and riding in a palace floating on the sea illustrate this point? And the god of Nonglu came and went without a trace, you didn't react at all, he appeared on the sea, this is the manifestation of the gods! β
Lonoikamakahik is one of the four most influential gods in the Hawaiian Islands' indigenous mythology, along with the other three great gods being Ku, Kane, and Kanaloa. The god Kane and Kennaro are twin brothers born of the same mother. The god Nonglu has a supreme position in the hearts of Native Hawaiians and is nicknamed Lono. Hawaiians believe that the god Nonglu is in charge of the land, agriculture, rain, and music, and blesses the crops of the native Hawaiians, giving them a good harvest every year, so that they can live a carefree life. Hawaiians are so grateful to the god Nonlu that shamans decree that the festival be performed eight times a year, and those who do not attend the festival for any reason are punished by death.
When the Spaniards arrived in the Aztec Empire in the 15th century, the locals worshipped the white-skinned Europeans as sun gods, and of course these "sun gods" eventually wiped out the Aztec Empire and enslaved the natives.
Kaio solemnly announced this in his tribe, and the god Nonglu appeared to Oahu to answer their prayers, and everyone should go to the beach to meet the god Nonglu, show their piety and respect to the god Nonglu, and pray to the god Nonglu for blessings.
So, the men and women of Oahu, young and old, could not care about the original grand celebration, and under the leadership of Chief Kaio and a few wizards, they rushed to the beach.
Paiknan had landed in a dinghy from the Light of the Seas, and he liked the conditions at Pearl Harbor and decided to build a simple dock here for the ship to moor for a short period of time.
As soon as he landed, Chang Bin came over with a smile on his face and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Bai, taste it, it's sweet!" β
Bai Nanbin's virtue is also helpless, he also knows that Chang Bin brought more than a dozen people over to contact the local natives is not very reliable, but Chang Bin's state is completely here for vacation.
Bai Nan took the coconut and said, "Do you think that if we occupy this beachhead, sooner or later Hawaiians will take the initiative to communicate with us, and you don't have to run around, right?" β
Chang Bin stretched out his thumb and said, "It's still Lieutenant Colonel Bai, it's a plan at a glance." We are not familiar with this jungle, and we don't know what dangerous weapons and poisons the locals have, and it is really not a good way to dig into the jungle to find the natives, it is better to sit here, bask in the sun, drink coconuts, how comfortable. β
Bai Nan had to admit that Chang Bin's statement was also a stereotype, but the efficiency was poor, and who knew when the local natives would be able to come to the door by themselves.
Just when Bai Nan had just turned this thought, Chang Bin suddenly shouted: "Alert!" A large number of indigenous people are approaching us! β
Lin Youde, a businessman who also followed Bai Nan to the land for activities, was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Are they hostile?" β
Bai Nanye, a large number of indigenous people came towards the beach in a hula, Bai Nan only swept it around, and said, "There should be no hostility." β
Chang Bin added: "That's right, these people don't look like an attacking formation at all, and there are men, women, and children, and they don't carry weapons, so I guess they came." β
Bai Nandao: "Everyone should be moderately vigilant, don't relax too much, and be able to deal with any situation." β
"Yes!"
A group of marines surrounded Bai Nan in the center, and Bai Nan stood tall, one of the leaders. The Vahu chief Kai Ou is extraordinary at a glance, Bai Nan is considered to be white in the crowd, and his image is excellent, coupled with his noble and exquisite white naval uniform, which makes Kai Ou "convinced" that this is the god of Nonglu.
With a plop, Caio fell to his knees first, and then there was a plop...... Fall to your knees.
β#οΏ₯%&*οΌβ Kaio shouted as he took the lead, and everyone behind him echoed in unison.
It's just that Bai Nan can't understand the words of the Hawaiians, but he knows that these Hawaiians belong to the Polynesian people, and the language belongs to the Austronesian language family, which is similar to the Maori people in Oceania, and can also be related to the aborigines of the Chinese island of Taiwan.
However, there is no need for any special translation, and such a big bow is enough to explain the problem. Lin Youde, who has a lot of experience, reacted and said to Bai Nan: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai, do these natives regard us as gods?" β
Chang Bin's eyes lit up: "It's possible!" It's easy to do now, we are gods, they are mortals, they have to do whatever they want, we have to take out good wine and good food for us to enjoy, and beautiful girls or something, oh, okay, this seems to be a violation of discipline, or don't want it. β
Bai Nan can only give a roll of his eyes to Chang Bin, this guy has a high consciousness, so he is basically playing treasure, and he is still relatively reliable at the critical moment.
Bai Nan felt that there was no risk, and stepped forward to help Kaio up, and the god of Nonglu "actually helped himself up himself, Kaio was so excited that tears were about to fall." Bai Nan put his arm around the shoulders of the five big and three thick chiefs of Kai O, to show affection, he really didn't understand Hawaiian, and the other party who spoke Chinese directly couldn't understand it, and finally Bai Nan moved smartly, let go of his voice and shouted:
"Vahu!"
The sound of wahu made these natives completely excited, and the Hawaiian people who live on the island of Oahu are called vahu, which is a word that gives them a sense of belonging.
And Kaio was even more sure that if it weren't for the god Nonglu, who would know that they were the Wahu tribe of the Hawaiian Islands when he first saw them.
A large group of natives surrounded Bai Nan and welcomed him towards his tribe. Bai Nan had to let some of them stand by on the beachhead, and he took Chang Bin Lin Youde and a dozen or so marines to the Wahu tribe.
Originally, a grand festival was held here, but the "god" himself was there, which directly raised the atmosphere to the top. The natives of the Wahu tribe took out various offerings that were originally offered to the gods and placed them directly in front of Bai Nan.
Chang Bin grilled fish leaves, avocado and local wine, laughed and said: "What's polite, people treat us as gods, let's be gods." β
Lin Youde sat next to Chang Bin, pointed to Bai Nan, who was sitting in the center, and said, "Eighty percent of them regard Lieutenant Colonel Bai as some kind of god, and our little minions are at best an errand runner." β
Chang Bin smiled, "What do you Lao Lin know, in our realm, the one who runs errands for the Jade Emperor is also a character like Tota Li Tianwang Erlang God, and he is also the second general of the Four Heavenly Kings, how cool." We don't expect to be so powerful, just be a Four Heavenly Kings, hey, your Lao Lin was born seventy years early, in fact, there were Four Heavenly Kings in our era. β
Lin Youde looked contemptuous and said, "Isn't it Liu, Zhang, Li and Guo, the four famous artists?" The movie you brought over, my old Lin also"
Chang Bin smiled even more happily, patted Lin Youde's back, and said, "Okay, Lao Lin, your old boy has a hand." β
said that Bai Nan was sitting in the right position, and people kept kowtowing to him, and some people kissed his military boots, which made Bai Nan quite embarrassed. Kaio also slapped his face, and a group of Hawaiian girls with **** upper body and only grass skirt lower body walked out from both sides like flowers and butterflies. They were full of tropical girlish energy, twisting their graceful waists, dancing the classic hula, and each with an excited smile on their faces.
"The enthusiasm here is really hard to retreat." Bai Nan thought to himself, "However, this is a good start, and it is suitable for us to develop here by establishing a good relationship with the Wahu tribe." β
Canned fish, canned fruits, and a variety of food specialties from Los Angeles were delivered to the tribe from merchant ships, and Bai Nan personally opened the food and distributed it to the natives here.
Kaio tasted a piece of canned roasted fish, then excitedly raised his arms and shouted, "This is food from God, and we have been blessed by the God of Nonglu!" β
The atmosphere seems to be even more enthusiastic.
Although communication can be problematic, eating, drinking, and dancing are really ways to strengthen the relationship. Bai Nan finally took out a short knife inlaid with gems from the iron weapon that was originally intended to be exported to the Qing Kingdom, and gave it to the chief Kaio as a gift.
Lacking the power to manufacture, and even less knowledge, Caio stared at this short knife of incomparably beautiful beauty, unable to speak for a long time, and he used this knife to cut off a small coconut tree one by one, which was so sharp that it was terrifying.
When he got the sword, Kaio knelt on the ground, raised his short knife with both hands above his head, and shouted: "This is a weapon given to me by the god of Nonglu, and the god of Nong Lu has affirmed me, Kaio, as the chief of the Vahu, the Vahu tribe will always believe in the god of Nonglu, and I, Kaio, am the most faithful servant of the god and the bravest warrior!" β
Bai Nan didn't understand what Kaio was saying at all, but he seemed to be very powerful.
