On the morning of May 3, 21st year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, there was no difference for many residents of Ninghou.

The sunshine entering the summer has begun to shine, and the temperature in the air is not in line with people's actions. It has been a month and a half since the Japanese riot on March 13, and most people have returned to their normal lives.

However, at this time, it was still half white in the city - there were many families with filial piety. The death toll reported was 5,672, but Ning Hou was only 100,000 in total.

5,600 people died in one breath, basically 6% of the total population. I dare not say that every family has dead, but every family has wounded. What’s more important is economic losses. The fire of the Japanese pirates almost burned half of Ninghai City.

The lives of the people are much more difficult than in previous years. Ninghou, which was originally located in the south of the Yangtze River and close to the sea, is also considered a trading port in Donghe, with people flying around every day. As a result, after the Japanese riots on March 13, it suddenly became depressed.

As the saying goes: relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat water. I would rather wait on the sea to rely on the sea, and of course I would make full use of the advantages of the geographical environment to develop myself. Locals either do business, go to sea to fish, or repair ships, but there are very few people who actually farm.

But after the Japanese turmoil, the entire market was depressed. All kinds of livelihoods were greatly affected, and now they can only farm and survive first. Many people's lives are very hard, which makes everyone feel even more uncomfortable.

I heard some time ago that the imperial court sent envoys to Japan to seek justice. Everyone was happy for a while. There were many people who prayed for His Majesty the Emperor every day. Everyone hoped that the imperial court could avenge themselves.

No one dares to think about compensation and disaster relief. It is the happiest thing to be able to see the enemy being given a head. Unfortunately, the tough reaction of the court soon disappeared, and then a major earthquake in the officialdom in the entire Southeast Yamen broke out.

A series of things are as dazzling as lightning, but they make everyone feel confused.

Not long after, as the cause of the Southeast official earthquake spread, everything began to become clear.

It turned out that the envoy from the court was insulted when he went to Japan. It was a kind of embarrassment that he almost slapped the face in the face. The Japanese pirates actually snatched away the official seal of the Ninghou Maritime Bureau? I'm sorry, it's really new. The emperor was so angry that he would not spare the Japanese pirates easily, and maybe even uprooted the mastermind behind the Japanese pirates' nest?

What they did not expect was that there was no news about the Japanese pirates silently. After waiting for a while, the people of Ninghai were waiting everywhere, but found that there were voices of overwhelming doubting the national master.

"...No way? The National Master actually likes to enjoy the soul of living? Is this true or false?"

"Lai San, you might be scaring people on purpose, right? How could Tang Shangxian give birth to a child's brain? It's impossible!"

"How is it impossible? It's been a long time since it's been circulating outside, that is, Ning Hou is not close to people, so the news has been a little blocked. It is said that the National Master takes a bath with the blood of a woman who has not yet broken her body every night, and he has to kill several people every time."

Faced with the doubts of many people, Lai Qifeng, the most well-informed person, quickly announced that what he said was absolutely accurate. However, many people around him still felt unbelievable and expressed their doubts.

"I shouldn't this be? I've seen the National Master. The last time he came to Ninghe to call the Tower of Tongtian, he was very kind and kind. It's not as terrible as the rumors said!"

"Oh, I heard that it's all disguises. Who doesn't want to look kind? The vicious and vicious people are only those Japanese pirates who can make people see it at a glance."

When the Japanese pirates were mentioned, most of them were immediately distracted by the Japanese turmoil, which caused panic. Many people not only suffered a shock to their lives and property, but also under tremendous psychological pressure.

"By the way, why are there no news about the Japanese pirates recently? What do the court wants to do? Will these Japanese pirates come again? Does the court not care about it? We have been hurt by the Japanese pirates!"

"I don't know! Such a major event in the court is not something that we can say. Maybe the court has any ideas!"

"Hmph, all the officials of the court are all in their pockets of wine! Didn't you hear that the court was preparing to send troops to Japan a few days ago? Why did you feel that suddenly the news suddenly became the rumor of the National Master. What about the Japanese pirates? Will the court still send troops to take revenge?"

"Oh, my vast China, as the kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom, was bullied by those little dwarfs. It really makes people unable to swallow this! If the court really sends troops to avenge us, I will set up a tablet of immortality for them to burn incense and worship every day."

"It's my part too! If the court sends troops to avenge us, even if I follow you, I will go to the Japanese pirates' nests and see these damn guys being cut into pieces with my own eyes!" More than one person gritted his teeth like this, and many people expressed their opinions with the voices squeezed out between their teeth.

"Oh, let's go home first. The wife and the children are still waiting to have a meal together. How can we little people worry about this?"

It is boring to say harsh words, and only actions can be played. But now, no one has taken action. Ninghai is separated from the vast sea from those Japanese pirates, and it is not easy to sneak up to take revenge.

With the sound of farewell, the big guy gradually embarked on the journey home. However, half of Ninghai towns were almost burned by a fire. Now, although the broken tiles and ruins have been roughly cleared, there are still many places that are extremely dilapidated.

The only normal thing in Ninghai City is the Tower of Heaven left by Tang Shangxian.

The square column, which is as high as 36 meters and has a diameter of 1 meter, is extremely white in the sun, and even shines with dazzling silver light. Every evening after the sun sets, the Tower of Tongtian will emit a soft white light, which is clearer than the bright moon in the sky, illuminating the way home for people in half of the town.

After just being installed for more than half a year, it makes people feel that they can no longer live without it. People who used to light lanterns when they went out at night do not need it now. The bright and soft light of the Tower of Tongtian shines on everything on the earth.

Even when Ning was in the Japanese riot the last time, even those Japanese people dared not touch it. Someone once used a knife to cut the Tower of Heaven with malicious intentions, but was knocked down to the ground by a burst of electric flowers that suddenly came and twitched.

After this, no one dared to go forward to make trouble again. Everyone knew that this thing was the supreme magic weapon left by Tang Shangxian. No matter how fierce and cruel the Japanese pirates were, they could only worship them when they encountered such an incomprehensible thing that humans could not understand.

Later, someone stamped his feet and beat his chest with regret. If he had known that the Tower of Heaven was so powerful, he might as well run over to avoid his life.

Many families who died and injured their relatives were all poisonous Japanese pirates who had not escaped. For a while, under the Tower of Tongtian, the people even spontaneously placed an altar table on the altar table and began to worship.

Every day, the incense here is very popular, and the Tower of Tongtian gradually becomes a pillar in the hearts of Ninghai people.

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

Some people with more courage dared to secretly look at the Tower of Tongtian. Of course, they couldn't see anything strange. At least they still had the same silver light on the outside, and the dazzling light was still warm and peaceful.

"Bah! Is this kind of person? I guess this place is not a clean place. Maybe there are still boys and girls buried below to offer sacrifices. Just say that this Tang Shangxian is not simple, it turns out that he is actually a practitioner of the demonic path."

While talking, the tall and majestic tower of the sky suddenly made a dull sound.

It was as if there was a hoarse sound coming out, but it was so harsh that it made people feel very harsh.

Many people were passing by the Tower of Tongtian, but were shocked. Some people were shocked and fell to the ground on the spot. More people were frightened and stood blankly on the street in a daze.

Before people could react, all the "hiss" sounds in the Tower of Heaven disappeared, and a gentle voice from peaceful people came out: "Hello, people in the world, the world!"

"Speak... Is this thing actually speaking? Oh my god, is it really locked in you with the soul of a stranger? How can you still talk?"

"God, what's going on? Who's talking inside?"

"Whoever will help me, why did my feet suddenly become weak? Hurry, who will come and help me."

"No, didn't the Tang Shangxian say that? This Tower of Tongtian is originally a magic weapon that can transmit the voices of people thousands of miles away. Listen to it, does this sound look like the sound of Tang Shangxian?"

"Hey? That's what it sounds like!"

"Yes, I remembered it too. No one in the Holy Church said that this Tower of Heaven is for us ordinary people to know the great things in the world. Tang Shangxian will send all kinds of news from the capital."

"Bah! The Holy Sect of the Fairy Spirit Heavenly Palace was the same when the Japanese pirates were slashed by the Japanese pirates and they were bleeding after one knife. They died with another knife. Even if they join the sect, they cannot keep their safety. They are all scams!"

"Hey, what you said is wrong. Who said that you can keep your safety by entering the church?"

"Don't talk, don't speak anymore. Listen, what else do you want to say?"
