Yongle City.

The famous tourist city under Xiazhou is far above Luoxia City, both in terms of the size and prosperity of the city.

"The Lake of Heaven's Suppression" is one of the eight scenic spots of Yongle.

There are tall maple trees planted by the Tianji Lake. In autumn, the maple leaves turn red and reflected in the water. The entire Tianji Lake seems to be bloody red, transmitting a scent of slaughter.

The lake is in autumn and the boat is waving.

Lin Yonggang, Chen Wanqing, Lin Tao, and the family of three sat on a cruise ship. The mother Chen Wanqing slowly supported the bamboo pole, while Lin Tao and his father sat on the bow.

"Lin Tao, what's the scenery?" Lin Yonggang looked at Lin Tao with a smile. He changed his sadness and seemed to have improved a lot. He held a piece of pastry in his hand and kept breaking it and throwing it to the fish swimming in the lake.

"It's okay." Lin Tao smiled.

In his memory, Yongle City a hundred years ago had only the "Seven Scenes of Yongle". A hundred years later, this "Lake of Heavenly Condemnation" was added, so it still feels very fresh.

"Dad, how did this lake of heavenly crimes be named Tianjian? As one of the eight scenic spots of Yongle, there must be some interesting stories."

"The story is not interesting, but it is also a story after all. Let's tell you." Lin Yonggang nodded, crushed the last bit of pastry in his hand and scattered it into the lake, clapped his hands, and then stood at the bow of the boat and stood in the wind.

"More than 60 years ago, there were only seven scenic spots in Yongle City. At that time, there was a martial arts sect, Hongfeng Sect. Ning Zhen, the first sect leader of the Red Maple Sect, not only had martial arts level cultivation, but also a famous explorer who likes to travel around the mountains and rivers. After coming here, he planted a red maple, collected a few cattle-herded shepherd boys, and created his own Red Maple Sect. The Red Maple Sect said it was big, it was small, with more than 800 disciples under his sect, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. Although there were no martial arts powerhouses, they were also vigorous and developed steadily. But just one autumn 18 years ago, a major event happened to the Red Maple Sect. Overnight, 2,135 villagers from four surrounding villages were brutally massacred, from 80 years old to cradle babies, none of them were spared!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yonggang's face turned gloomy and no longer had any blood.

Lin Tao also felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

"Listen to me to continue." Lin Yonggang took a deep breath and nodded, "This tragedy occurred, not only shocked the prefect of Yongle, the governor of Xiazhou, and even the Dagan Empire. The Dagan Emperor Zhao Hong personally visited Yongle City. At that time, he was the protector of the Dagan Empire and the leader of the Tianjiao Sect, Li Deji, was appointed as the chief auditor of the Yongle Tragedy, and came to Yongle City, determined to investigate to the end and severely punish the murderer."

Lin Tao thought for a while and asked, "Dad, is the murderer the Red Maple Sect you mentioned earlier?"

"No," Lin Yonggang nodded slightly, "Three days, in just three days, the Martial Emperor Li Deji announced to the public that the murderer behind the Yongle tragedy was Ning Zhen, the leader of the Red Maple Sect!"

"Why did he do this?" In addition to being extraordinary martial arts, a sect leader should also have super high character. Under normal circumstances, this kind of massacre of innocent civilians will never happen, and Lin Tao was very confused.

"The official investigation results show that Ning Zhen is for two words, land! In order to expand the sect, the Hongfeng Sect has to expropriate the land in the surrounding villages! Although Ning Zhen spent a lot of money to buy dozens of acres of land around him with the prefect of Yongle City before this, because local villagers are unwilling to relocate, the plan to expand the sect can only be stranded..."

Lin Tao also stood up and stood at the bow of the ship with his father Lin Yonggang. "So, Ning Zhen, the leader of the Hongfeng Sect, used this poisonous plan to destroy all the surrounding villages overnight to achieve the purpose of land acquisition? This is too outrageous, right? As a sect leader, how can he have only such IQ?"

"Haha!" Lin Yonggang raised his head and smiled, very sad. The laughter contained a very complicated emotion, which made Lin Tao feel an inexplicable oppression.

"This result was released by Emperor Wu of Emperor Li Deji. What else can I question? Emperor Dagan Zhao Hong immediately issued an imperial edict, and the entire Red Maple Sect disciples were extremely guilty. Wu violated the ban and was sentenced to death, and all the punishments were imposed, and the nine clans were destroyed!"

Lin Tao pursed his lips. If the crime was really proved, such punishment would be understandable.

"Ning Zhen's Hongfeng Sect confessed his guilt and was punished? What does this have to do with this Tianjian Lake?" Lin Tao asked, looking at the endless blood-colored lake.

Lin Yonggang retracted his smile again and said seriously: "Ning Zhen did not confess his guilt, he did not confess even when he died! None of the disciples of the entire Hongfeng Sect plead guilty. When the officials and the people from the Wu League came to arrest people, they chose to resist!"

"Resist?" Lin Tao was shocked.

Resist the official of Dagan and the Dagan Martial Alliance. Not to mention the unknown Red Maple Sect, even any sect in the top ten martial arts ranks in the current list of famous martial arts schools, would not dare to have such confidence.

"Not bad! Resist! Resist to the end!" Lin Yonggang said word by word, as desolate as the oncoming autumn wind. "As a result, the entire Red Maple Sect was naturally destroyed. Before the extermination of the family, Ning Zhen detonated a black fire copper ball, allowing his sect and the officers and soldiers who arrested people to die together, and all of them were blown to ashes."

He pointed to the Tianjian Lake in front of him, and Lin Yonggang continued: "The Tianjian Lake where we are originally a mountain. After the explosion of the Black Fire Copper Ball, the entire mountain collapsed, forming the current lake! The entire Red Maple Sect was buried in the lake, which seemed to be the best punishment arranged by God. Therefore, this lake, also known as Tianjian Lake, has become one of the eight scenic spots of Yongle!"

Lin Tao was a little shocked when he heard this.

The seemingly peaceful Tianjian Lake had such a thrilling story eighteen years ago. How many resentful spirits should be wandering under the Tianjian Lake?

Looking at the bloody lake, Lin Tao was faintly stunning...

"We're at the Temple of Heavenly Crime!"

Before we knew it, the boat had arrived on the other side of the lake. Here, there were crowds of tourists and it was very lively. A wide bluestone avenue was slanted towards a not-tall hill. On the top of the hill, a gray-black stone hall stood in front of us.

On both sides of the avenue, various hawkers were hawking around.

Lin Yonggang walked over and bought a basket that had been tied. Lin Tao looked at it and found that the basket was not a candle that admired the God of War, but a small bundle of cabbage, eggs, tomatoes, etc.

"Dad, this is..." Lin Tao felt strange. All temples are basically worshipped by martial gods. When you go in to worship, how can you buy vegetables?

"Let's go and see the Heavenly Condemnation Pillar! You'll know if you go..." Lin Yonggang handed the basket to Lin Tao, pulled Lin Tao with one hand and his wife Chen Wanqing with the other, and got stuck in the crowd, climbing up the stairs.

kindness?!

When he entered the Tianjian Temple, the scenery in front of him surprised Lin Tao again.

It turned out that there was no sculpture of the God of War here, but instead it was a pitch-black stone pillar. On the stone pillars, there were fine steel chains locking two bronze statues of a man and a woman, both of whom bowed their heads and knelt down on the ground!
