Chapter seven hundred and sixty-five man-made anomalies(1/2)
Chapter 765 Artificial strange phenomenon
In fact, at first, everyone was just curious that Tongguan was really a small place.
Usually, few people come. Even businessmen think that Tongguan is remote and barren, and it is not a good place to do business. The small Tongguan city has always been self-sufficient and can only survive. So if there is anything new, the people in the city will run around to tell us. The abnormal situation in Tongjiang is a big deal in the small Tongguan.
Ishihe has also joined in the fun.
But he was in his teenage years old at that time, and he was not interested in following his parents to see him.
He made an appointment with a few friends and went to see them while his parents were busy with business.
After watching it, I was quite frightened because the person was too small against the backdrop of the surging river.
Moreover, the vortex looked very terrifying, as if it could roll and swallow the people on the shore at any time. He was afraid for the first time. You must know that in the eyes of that young man, there was nothing in the world that could scare him.
Later, someone asked Shihe to go to the Tongjiang River again, so he found various excuses not to go out again.
On the day of the world's appearance, the sky that had been cloudy for several days suddenly cleared, and the heavy rain finally stopped. I heard that there was a big noise by the Tong River, and almost every family went to watch the fun together. Shi He's father and his children also wanted to join in the fun. But no matter what his father called, Shi He refused to go out.
Shi's mother was going to stay to see the shop, but when she saw this, she handed the shop to Shi He. The couple took a young brother and sister to the river to watch the fun.
This time I go...
Xiao Ying shook her head. Shi He meant that his parents took their young children out to watch the fun, and then never came back. This was obviously a bit... far-fetched.
The time is not right. Even if the Apocalypse appears, it will take ten days and half a month to write a memorial to the capital.
Even if Xie Nian received the first letter, he immediately left the capital and rushed to Tongjiang after learning that there was something strange about Tongjiang. He could not have killed him immediately on the day of Apocalypse. He wanted to report to Emperor Geng and wait for Emperor Geng to order, but Shi He said that on the day of Apocalypse's appearance, his parents, brothers and sisters did not come back.
"Nothing happened on the day of Apocalypse."
Shi He was stunned for a moment, then showed a self-deprecating smile. "In front of the Empress, lies are always exposed."
"Before you poisoned me, I always regarded you as a friend. A friend who could support you to move forward for a lifetime." Xiao Ying sighed softly.
Shi He looked a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he had no words.
"Do you treat me as a three-year-old child? Tianqi is here... Even when Xie Nian arrived in Tongguan, he dared not kill him immediately. He always reported to Emperor Geng and waited for Emperor Geng to order. Shi He, now that the matter has come to this, can't he tell him the truth?"
"Facts? After so many years, what's the point? All those who shouldn't die are dead, those who should be damned... they live well."
"Do you believe in karma?"
"Don't believe it."
"Start believe today. Believe in good and evil in the end. No matter one year or ten years... there will always be a day of retribution."
"What retribution did Emperor Geng get? That foolish monarch!" Shi He planned for several years, but he did not defeat Feng Geng himself. This was his biggest regret.
"The retribution of Emperor Geng? He has five sons in total, and his five sons, except for the fourth prince, have coveted the position of the crown prince. His eldest son forced the palace, and his second son watched helplessly. It was not until the last moment that he thought about coming out and becoming a profitable fisherman. His third son even pointed at him with arrows. If the fifth son had not stopped him in the end, Emperor Geng would have died at the hands of his son. Do you think this was not his retribution?"
This matter is naturally hidden in the royal family. Although there are many speculations outside that Feng Lin and Feng Ye’s defeats are too heavy.
However, Empress Qi did not reveal any abnormalities at that time. All officials preferred Empress Qi to protect Feng Ge.
Emperor Geng was seriously ill and knew that he had not had enough time, so he finally had no choice but to pass the throne to the fifth prince.
No one knew that such a big thing happened in the Geng Emperor's bedroom that day.
The fourth son seized the throne. The four sons blatantly forced the palace to seize the throne. Moreover, the fourth prince even took action. The fourth prince, who spoke the least and had the weakest sense of existence, actually took action.
Shihe really wants to laugh. Retribution is really retribution.
"The late emperor used some shameful means to seize the throne, so he has been living trembling all these years. Maybe he had a full of ambitions at the beginning, but in the end he just lived like he was disdainful. In the last few years, his illness was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and he always thought he was going to recover, but soon the disease came again. Do you think this wasn't God's punishment for him? The killing was too heavy and he would eventually get the punishment of heaven."
Xiao Ying's voice was very calm, and it was this calm that gradually extinguished Shi He's anger.
"What about Xie Nian? What retribution does he have?"
"That Xie Xiang. He is actually just a puppet. You don't think he really has the courage to hurt thousands of lives at once." "He was indeed giving orders back then." "So he was a puppet. As for the person who ordered the final order, he was the late emperor. Don't look desperate... I carefully asked the old ministers of that year. Someone told me that Emperor Geng angrily scolded the "discreet people" in the palace. What did you Tongguan people do? The late emperor was so angry that he spoke harsh words in the hall.
So don’t just look at the surface of everything. Don’t feel like you have found the truth after you have clues. Sometimes, you may not even be true when you see it.”
Shi He finally calmed down. He followed Xiao Ying's thoughts. Things that happened back then... were indeed strange everywhere. However, the ministers from the court were indeed Xie Jixin. Those soldiers who ignored the actions were indeed sent by Xie Jixin.
But over the years he has been in the Imperial Hospital and has indeed carefully studied Xie Jixin.
No matter how hard the person surnamed Xie doesn't look like a person who can do great things. The reason why he can take up the position of prime minister is because of his virtue in front of Emperor Geng.
Emperor Geng liked to call Xie Jixin to go to the palace to discuss when encountering problems.
But in the end, the matter was handed over to Xie Jixin to do, almost all of them were trivial matters.
If there is any major event, Emperor Geng would rather hand it over to Yun Chi than to Xie Jixin. Over the years, he has also wondered whether Emperor Geng would really hand it over to Xie Jixin to handle such a major event as silence?
But this was what he saw with his own eyes.
Xiao Ying's words just now made Shi He confused. The people of Tongguan did not commit any serious crimes, what does Geng Emperor mean by saying "unlucky people"?
Could it be?
Shi He's expression changed, and his eyes looked at Xiao Ying with almost uncontrollable fear.
"I figured it out." "No. No. If it weren't for Emperor Geng and Xie Jixin, how would my relatives and thousands of people in Tongguan die?" It's impossible. It was because the Apocalypse came to the world and Emperor Geng didn't want the news to spread, so he cruelly issued a sanction order.
Thousands of people in Tongguan.
He died within one day and was eventually buried at the bottom of the river.
This is the reason why he insisted on enduring no matter what he encountered in recent years. The hardship of learning medical skills, the pain of being excluded when he entered the imperial hospital, and other imperial doctors were afraid that he could not avoid it. He could only bite the bullet and go to the hospital. Everything... If the enemy was not Feng Geng and Xie Jixin, then what was his meaning of living over the years?
In order to conceal his identity, he married a woman he didn't like.
There is also a pair of children whom I don't expect.
His life was ruined and everything was the persistence of revenge in his heart.
"Have you ever thought about what the apocalypse is?" "Even if it is apocalypse, it is naturally God's warning. Do you even doubt this?" Shi He never doubted the apocalypse. That was what he saw with his own eyes. Such an unusual appearance is simply a magical skill. Not to mention whether human power can be done or not, it can be done by manpower, so how can it be done in Tong***?
"I'm really suspicious. There are words on the dragon body. And the word is impartial and it is also related to the royal family. Putting too many coincidences together is deliberately."
"That is the apocalypse, what's wrong with the royal family?"
"There are too many inappropriate places. God has the virtue of living a life. How could he bring down the apocalypse for no reason and cause chaos in the world? Have you ever thought about whether the news would cause a shocking shock. There have been rumors among the people that he was not good for the Geng Emperor, saying that his throne came from was incorrect.
At that time, how many people will die if the creatures are in trouble?
And such a so-called apocalypse with obvious warnings, which is intended to provoke chaos in the world... God is not so idle, and he will not make trouble like this.
So, I'm sure it's artificial."
"Impossible. Apocalypse...how could it be artificial!" Shi He didn't believe it.
Xiao Ying thought, why can’t Apocalypse be done by humans? Don’t we say that things are done by humans? As long as we think about it, we can always do it.
Not to mention the carved dragon that made it emerge from the river. Modern people can go to heaven.
Maybe in a few decades, you can travel interstellarly.
"I don't know if you heard of it. Something magic happened recently...is something that concerns His Majesty today."
"...The fish hides beads?" When she was in the countryside, the woman mentioned it in a surprising tone. However, Shi He did not believe it. He naturally would not believe it if he had not seen it with his own eyes. He only thought that people spread rumors.
"Yes, the fish's belly hides beads. Do you know how to do it? In fact, it's very simple... Write the note in advance, stuff it into a special wax pill. Then stuff it into the fish's belly. When the fish is caught, the belly is broken, and the wax pill will melt when it encounters light. The words on the paper will naturally appear." What? Shihe can't believe his ears. Can this be artificial? Apocalypse can really be artificial.
"Are the Empress too brave? If God holds her accountable..." Shi He believed that there was God. Believing that the Apocalypse is a warning from God to people.
"Why hold people accountable? I did not seek money to kill people, nor did I hurt people's lives. Shihe, what we do is seek is to have a clear conscience. I have a clear conscience in the world and the people. I have long expected that this old case was exposed not an accident, but someone wanted to make trouble with it, so naturally he had to think of a way to deal with it. They can use the apocalypse to create trouble, so why can't we? They dare to speak for heaven, why can't we? That's why I said that everything in the world actually has traces to follow."
Shihe was a little stupid.
What Xiao Ying said today was so eye-opening.
He never thought that things could be done like this. In his eyes, Apocalypse seemed to be God's warning. Could it be that someone really arranged it?
Are the so-called miracles fake? Are they artificial?
"What? Don't you believe it yet? Do you need me to bring a fish to let you see the so-called fish hiding beads."
Shi He shook his head. No, really no. He believed it, he believed what Xiao Ying said. Because from beginning to end, she never spoke loudly. She said that she could do it, she would definitely do it.
Shi He was just shocked and his mind was a little confused for a moment.
What he had been sticking to for these years collapsed overnight, and he was a little helpless and could not accept it for a while.
"Don't you know where to start? Let's start with your life experience."
Xiao Ying still gave Shi He a step. Shi He calmed down. When he spoke again, his expression had changed. It was no longer as if he had nothing to do with what he had just done, but with an unconcealed sorrow.
"Tongguan is located in a remote and very poor place. Tongguan is really poor. Although the city wall is built very high, it is because it combines the power of the whole town and only one city wall was built. At that time, I heard people discuss it. The reason why the high wall was built was to show the people across the river, our Feng Dynasty was so powerful! Looking across the river will shock the other party. In fact, the Tongjiang River is surging, and crossing the river is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Although looking across the river, we don't know who lives opposite the river.
Except for the city walls, Tongguan is useless.
My family is from Tianliangshu. There are dozens of acres of thin land outside the city and hired a few long-term workers who can't afford to eat.
Life is quite rich.
My parents are very loving. I am the eldest son in the family, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister. When something happened, my second brother was twelve years old and my younger sister was only five years old.”
These memories were too painful for Shihe. He hardly dared to think about it over the years.
He often wakes up at night, and his problems keep pestering him. He is a doctor, but he can't cure himself.
He knew what his heart disease was, but he was powerless. In the dream, his father asked him why he had lived alone. His mother shed blood and tears, saying that she felt so painful. And his younger brother and sister.
