Chapter 99: The Truth
Of course, the "Eye of the East China Sea" is not a channel for the thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Guanyin to connect and transform sentient beings.
On the contrary, it is a death passage secretly dug by the ghost country's navy. From the bottom of the Ghost Country's main sea, after careful calculations by marine geographers, the Onmyoji of the Ghost Country has been working hard for decades, and finally opened a special channel that can secretly sneak into the territorial waters of the Han and Tang Empires.
It's just that this time it was exposed by chance. Do you still remember the green-haired pheasant that flew away from Daizong Mountain? Yes! That's it! In the Han and Tang Empires, not many people knew about it. But it is in the ghost country, it is a god-like existence, and it is called the first holy spirit of the Shinto sect in the ghost country - the green pheasant holy chicken. Just like the roaring dog of Erlang God, even the Monkey King can bite the character.
Although the Green Pheasant Holy Rooster was in Daizong Mountain and successfully escaped from the Blue Emperor Palace, it was too seriously injured by the Xuanling Sword Qi of the three elders of Lingbao. Seeing that he had fled to the East China Sea, the main sea of the ghost country was close at hand, but it was this close distance that almost killed the first Holy Spirit. Because I'm hungry!
Sacred chickens feed on the aura, especially the human aura. In normal times, there would be no one anywhere. But now the holy rooster fled for its life into the East China Sea, thinking that it could escape directly back to the ghost country, but when it fled to the 619 islands and reefs in the East China Sea, it was exhausted. The sea nearby is vast, and there is no half a figure.
Without people, the holy chicken can only prey on the aura of fish and shrimp to save its life. However, the aura of the fish and shrimp is very small, and it is enough to save their lives, let alone recuperate from their injuries, recover and continue to escape. As a last resort, the holy chicken used a hundred-pound octopus to pretend to be a thousand-armed Guanyin, shine brightly, and attract fishing boats.
As soon as the people of the fishing boat approached, it began to frantically suck in the aura to regain its strength. After recovering some strength, it found that there was a sea eye of tens of thousands of meters under the reef, and the person who was sucked half dead threw it directly into the sea eye.
Originally, the green pheasant healed, and the aura of more than 100 people was enough. But when it regained its strength and was about to leave, it saw that Yangzhou City was full of resentment, and someone directly stepped into the realm of the great master of the Shinto Sect, which was Asuka Saito who was beaten into a sieve by the special police.
Saito Asuka was almost alone in Yangzhou City, standing as a "god", but was scattered by Wang Dinghe's Buddha name. As the first spirit of the Shinto sect, the green pheasant and the holy chicken, as if he saw a treasure, immediately plucked a feather, turned into a long flag, and began to summon spirits.
You must know that the most powerful thing in the Shinto Sect is spiritualism, and the moment after the death of Saito Asuka, the ghost went out of the body, and the epiphany entered the Shinto Sect, so almost without wasting his strength, the green pheasant summoned the ghost of Saito Asuka to the eyes of the East China Sea.
However, the resentment of Saito Asuka has almost been resolved under Wang Dinghe's Guanyin Holy Name. The ghost summoned back by the green pheasant spirit banner is no longer as poignant as it was at the beginning. It's a chicken rib, throw it away, it's a pity, don't throw it away, a ghost without aura.
The green pheasant is not a green pheasant, and in the end it had a whim, using the ghost of Saito Asuka and an octopus of more than 1,000 catties to sacrifice the "Thousand Hands Guanyin". And, it almost worked. That's why Wang Dinghe feels that "Guanyin" is very familiar.
The green pheasant tossed for a month, spent a lot of effort, and deceived more than 2,000 people, and when it was about to succeed, Wang Dinghe appeared. And he is also firm in his mind and undisturbed.
The green pheasant didn't have the time, he didn't have the energy to deal with Wang Dinghe, so he led the soon-to-be-successful Saito Asuka away, and the ghosts of the living had collected enough, and they were short of a clean place to complete the final combination.
Of course, this fact and truth were unknown to all people at the time. It wasn't until a few years later that Wang Dinghe personally went to the Yamatai of the Ghost Country's Fucorpse Mountain to try to persuade the sect master of the Shinto Sect to see Saito Asuka again, who had cultivated the body of "Thousand-armed Kannon" with the body of an octopus, that he suddenly realized.
As for what was thought to be the truth at the time, it was naturally a great joy for all.
First of all, it is estimated that 2,000 people are missing, and as a result, 300 bodies and 1,500 living people were recovered from the eyes of the East China Sea. This result is already very good, the official reports are all boasting about the rescue of 1500, and no one mentions that 300 died.
Then, the cause of the event. Originally, the officials did not dare to draw conclusions easily, what was the reason. As a result, public opinion has focused on two points. The first is the Eye of the East China Sea, which is said to be divine, and it is said that it is indeed the Thousand-Armed Guanyin who is leading sentient beings. This source is mainly the 1,500 people who were rescued, and the media interviewed 1,500 "exclusive reports" from the ward, and the result was that what they saw was indeed the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. As for why I didn't pick it up, it was because the karma was too heavy, and everyone was picked up.
On the contrary, the living envy the dead and feel that they were taken away by Guanyin. Wang Dinghe felt ridiculous when he heard it, but this is the truth, and this is the real public opinion of the people. They were all convinced that what they saw was the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, and it was no wonder that even Wang Dinghe thought he had really seen the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
Moreover, the most irrefutable thing is that if it were not for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, how could they have soaked in the eyes of the sea for many days without dying? This stopped Wang Dinghe. Of course, the real reason is that the green pheasant needs the aura of the living and directly hypnotizes them, just like a frog hibernates, and the body's consumption is all still.
However, I didn't know these things at the time. Therefore, another point of public opinion was born. That is, the media with vast magical powers actually bribed the informant and went directly to the 619 islands and reefs for on-the-spot investigation.
What can be found on the field trips? What can be found on the bare islands and reefs? However, the dedicated reporters are extremely excited, and they pay attention to "speaking with facts."
As a result, after a day of investigation, the only living creatures that could be found were a few shell snails.
The shell snails were also a harvest, and the reporters left the reef in disappointment.
A week later, a self-media called "Truth" reported in depth the causes and consequences of the incident. This is a million+ self-media article that day, and the first picture is a snail picked up by a reporter from a metropolitan newspaper from 619 islands and reefs. The caption of the picture uses the original words of Professor Qian Chunxiao, a marine biologist: This is the parrot soul eater snail.
Then there is the "truth" from all kinds of data and all kinds of reasoning: the fishermen, bewitched by the parrot soul eater snail, threw themselves into the eye of the East China Sea. Only such an explanation is the most scientific, reasonable, and credible. Because, this is the truth of the "619 East China Sea Extraordinarily Large Missing Population Case"!
The melon-eating masses who thought they had a lot of brains and scoffed at "Guanyin's introduction" suddenly became clear: The truth is like this!
