Chapter 1449: Tongtian Tower speaks out

The morning of May 21rd in the [-]st year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty was no different for many residents of Ninghai Town.

The sun has begun to shine into the summer, and the temperature in the air is very suitable for people to move around.One and a half months have passed since the Japanese invasion on March 3, and most people have returned to normal life.

But at this time, half of the city is still white—there are many families with filial piety.The death toll reported at the beginning was 5672, but Ninghai Town only had a total of less than 10 people.

5600 people died in one breath, which is basically 6% of the total population.I dare not say that every family has the dead, but it is true that every family has the wounded.What's more important is the economic loss. The Japanese pirates almost burned half of Ninghai City.

People's lives are now much more difficult than in previous years.Originally located in the south of the Yangtze River and close to the sea, Ninghai Town can be regarded as a large trading port on the East China Sea, and it is full of people every day.As a result, after the Japanese "insurgency" on March 3, it suddenly became depressed.Plane Travel Guide 13

As the saying goes: rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to drink water.Ninghai Town is backed by the sea, so of course it is making full use of its geographical advantages to develop itself.The locals either do business, go fishing, or repair and build ships. On the contrary, there are very few people who actually farm.

But after the Japanese "insurgency", the entire market has been depressed.All kinds of livelihoods have been greatly affected, and now they can only make a living by farming first.Many people's lives are very hard, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Some time ago, I heard that the imperial court specially sent envoys to Japan to seek justice, and everyone was happy for a while.In Ninghai Town, there are many people praying for His Majesty the Emperor every day, and everyone hopes that the court will avenge themselves.

Everyone dare not think about compensation and disaster relief. It is the happiest thing to see the enemy give the head.It's a pity that the court's tough reaction this time ended in nothing, and then a major earthquake broke out in the entire southeast yamen.

A series of events were as dazzling as lightning sparks, but it made everyone feel confused.

Not long after, as the cause of the earthquake in the southeast officialdom spread, everything began to become clear.

It turned out that the envoy of the imperial court was insulted when he went to Japan. It was an embarrassment that was almost face-to-face—the Japanese pirates even took away the official seal of the Ninghai Town Ship Division?I wipe it, it's really fresh now.The emperor was so furious, surely he would not spare those Japanese pirates lightly, and maybe even uproot the mastermind behind the Japanese pirates' lair, right?

As a result, what they didn't expect was that there was no news related to the Japanese pirates in such a silent manner.The Ninghai people waited a little longer, only to find voices questioning the national teacher everywhere.

"...No way? Master Guoshi actually likes to enjoy life and soul? Is this true or not?"

"Lai San, don't you mean to scare people on purpose? How could Tang Shangxian eat the brains of children raw? Impossible!"

"Why is that impossible? There have been rumors going crazy outside, that is, Ning Hai is not close to strangers recently, so the news has been blocked. It is said that the Master of the State Teacher has to bathe with the blood of a woman who has not broken her body every night. How many people are killed each time."

Faced with the doubts of many people, Lai Qifeng, who was the most well-informed, hurriedly declared loudly that what he said was absolutely accurate.However, many people in the crowd around him felt unbelievable and expressed doubts.

"Shouldn't it be? I've met Master Guoshi, the last time he came to Ninghai to summon the Tongtian Tower. He is a very kind and amiable person, not as scary as the rumors say! "

"Hey, I heard that it's all a disguise. Who wouldn't want to look kind? The vicious people, and only those Japanese pirates can be seen at a glance."

As soon as Japanese pirates were mentioned, most people were immediately distracted.This time the Japanese "rebellion" in Ninghai Town caused panic.Not only were many people's lives and property impacted, but they were also under tremendous psychological pressure.

"By the way, why are there no news of Japanese pirates recently? What does the court want to do? Will these pirates come back? Does the court not care about it? We have been harmed by Japanese pirates! "

"I don't know! This kind of court affairs is not for us people to talk about. Maybe the court has other ideas!"

"Huh, all the princes in the court are full of wine bags and rice bags! Didn't you hear that the court was planning to send troops to the Japanese country a few days ago? Why do you feel that all of a sudden the news has become the rumor of the master of the country, and the Japanese pirates? Is the court going to send troops? Don't send troops to take revenge?"

"Hey, I am a magnificent country. When I was in the kingdom of heaven, I was bullied by those little dwarfs. I really can't swallow this breath! If the imperial court really sends troops to avenge us, I will set up longevity tablets for them and burn incense every day." Worship." Plane Travel Guide 1449

"Count me in too! If the imperial court sends troops to avenge us, even if I swim and follow, I will go to the lair of Japanese pirates and see these damned guys being hacked to pieces with my own eyes!" There is more than one person who gritted his teeth like this , Many people expressed their opinions with voices squeezed out between their teeth.

"Hey, let's break up, let's all go home first, the mother-in-law and the children are still waiting to have dinner together. How can we small people worry about such a major national event?"

It is meaningless to say harsh words, and only actions can make a difference.But now, no one is doing anything.After all, there is a vast sea between Ning Hai and those Japanese pirates, so it is not easy to sneak up there to take revenge.

With the sound of farewell, the big guys gradually set foot on the way home.In the last Japanese riot in Ninghai Town, almost half of Ninghai Town was burned down by a fire.Although the broken tiles and remnants have been roughly cleaned up now, there are still many places that are extremely dilapidated.

The only normal thing in the entire Ninghai City is the Tongtian Pagoda left by Tang Shangxian.

The square column with a height of 36 meters and a base diameter of 1 meter is extremely white in the sun, and even shines with silvery dazzling light.Every night after the sun goes down, the Tongtian Tower will emit a soft and white light, shining more clearly than the bright moon in the sky, illuminating the way home for half the people in the town.

After just installing it for more than half a year, it makes people feel that they can't do without it anymore.People who used to light lanterns when they went out at night don't need it anymore. The bright and soft light of Tongtian Tower illuminates everything on the earth.

Even when the Japanese "raid" in Ninghai Town last time, even those Japanese didn't dare to touch it.Someone once took a knife to chop the Tongtian Tower with malicious intentions, but was knocked down by a sudden burst of electric sparks and fell to the ground and convulsed.

After this, no one dared to go forward to make trouble again, and everyone knew that this thing was the supreme magic weapon left by Tang Shangxian.No matter how fierce and brutal the Japanese pirates are, when they encounter such incomprehensible things, they can only worship them.

Later, some people regretted stamping their feet and beating their chests. If they had known that the Tongtian Tower was so powerful, they might as well have run over there to avoid their lives.

Many families who died or injured their relatives were all encountered by Japanese pirates who were unable to escape.For a while, under the Tongtian Pagoda, the people even spontaneously set up an altar for offerings and began to sacrifice.

The incense here is very strong every day, and Tongtian Pagoda has gradually become a pillar in the hearts of Ninghai people.

But after hearing the latest rumors about Tang Shangxian today, everyone felt a little strangely uncomfortable when they passed the Tongtian Tower.No one organized them, so they all couldn't help but stay away from Sanzhang and bypass the Tongtian Tower to go home.

Some courageous people even dared to secretly look at the Tongtian Tower, but of course they couldn't see anything unusual.At least on the outside, it was still shining with silver light, and there was still Wen Zhengping and peace in the dazzling light.

"Bah! Such a person? It must be that this place is not a clean place. Maybe there are boys and girls buried under it to make offerings. Let's say that Tang Shangxian is not simple. It turns out that he is practicing the way of magic."

While speaking, suddenly the tall and majestic Tongtian Pagoda made a dull sound of "buzz".

It was as if there was a hoarse sound about to come out, but the "hissing" sound was very ear-piercing.

Many people were passing by the Tongtian Tower, but they were shocked.Some people happened to have ghosts in their hearts, and they were so frightened that they fell to the ground on the spot.More people were directly frightened and stupid, standing blankly on the side of the street in a daze.

Before people could realize what was going on, all the "hissing" sounds in Tongtian Tower suddenly disappeared, and a peaceful and gentle voice came out: "Hello, people of the Great Tomorrow!"

"Say... spoke? This thing actually spoke? Oh my god, is it true that you have a stranger's soul locked inside you? How can you still talk?"

"God, what the hell is going on here? Who's talking in there?"

"Someone give me a hand, I'm so fine and suddenly my feet are weak. Hurry up, whoever, come and give me a hand." Plane Travel Guide 1449

"No, didn't Tang Shangxian say it back then? This Tongtian Pagoda was originally a magical tool for sound transmission, which can transmit the voices of people thousands of miles away. Listen, does this sound sound like Tang Shangxian's voice?"

"Hey? Putting it this way, it sounds a bit like it!"

"Yeah, I remembered it too. Didn't someone from the Holy Cult say that this Tongtian Pagoda is to let us ordinary people know about the world's major events. Tang Shangxian will send people from the capital to give us all kinds of news came."

"Bah! Faint fairy Tiangong Shengjiao, the last time the Japanese invaded, it was the same as when the pirates slashed and bled, and then died. You can't keep safe if you join the sect, it's all a lie !"

"Hey, what you said is wrong. Who said that you can be safe if you join the religion?"

"Don't talk, don't make any more noise. Listen, what else do you want to say?"
