A moment later, a pitch-black stone appeared.

This stone is carved with patterns, and it is only half a finger long, and Li Canghai doesn't know what it is.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Canghai moved the body aside and ordered someone to dig it up.

He examined the corpse carefully, and judging by the clothes worn by the deceased, it was supposed to be a coolie here.

After the body was blistered, it was a little pale, but it was not swollen, indicating that the deceased had been dead for a short time, and it should have been no more than three hours.

Three hours earlier, in the middle of the night, most of them had rested, except for a few who were still digging stones.

However, since it was determined that the deceased was a coolie here, he had a direction to investigate.

Carefully opening the deceased's eyelids, he found that the deceased's eyes were turned up, and some red spots appeared on the lower eyes and face, as if he had died of suffocation.

In addition, there was a distinct, black-purple pinch mark on the neck of the corpse.

Li Canghai preliminarily judged that this person was strangled to death.

"Do any of you recognize the dead?" Li Canghai swept over the onlookers and asked.

"Lord Hui, I recognize, his name is Lin Laosan." A coolie replied.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "When was the last time you saw him?" ”

"Before last night. That's when I saw him with some other people. The coolie replied honestly.

"Do you recognize those people?"

"Yes. One of them had a scar on his face, and the other had a severed finger. ”

After a moment of contemplation, Li Canghai ordered the soldiers to investigate, and after a while, the soldiers ran over and reported: "My lord, no two people have been found. ”

"Pass the order to Chang Feng and let him do his best to find the whereabouts of the two." Li Canghai groaned.

The soldier bowed, and then trotted all the way out of the Dragon King Temple.

Chang Feng has led people to dig on the lonely mountain since last night, and the surroundings of the Dragon King Temple are flooded, and there is only a road behind it to leave, and that road winds through the foot of the lonely mountain.

Li Canghai guessed that if the two of them killed people and fled for their lives, they were likely to pass through the road at the foot of the lonely mountain, and Chang Feng and others were digging at the foot of the lonely mountain, maybe they would find some clues.

At this point, the black stone was excavated in its entirety.

Li Canghai hurriedly walked over and found that the black stone turned out to be a half-human-high stone tablet.

The stele is pitch black, with several strange dragons carved at the head of the stele and a turtle under the stele.

Li Canghai knew that this turtle was actually called 'Baxia', one of the nine sons of the legendary dragon, similar to a turtle, like to carry heavy loads, and was often used to carry monuments.

However, this 'bully' is very different from what he knows.

There is a snake tail behind this 'Baxia', and the snake tail is wrapped around the stone tablet, which looks like a 'Xuanwu'.

I've never heard of a 'Xuanwu' to carry the monument, Li Canghai can't help but feel a little strange.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the back of the stele and cried out in horror: "Look, the stele is bleeding!" ”

The people who were directly behind the stone tablet knelt on the ground in horror and shouted, "The Dragon Lord is angry, the Dragon Lord is angry!" ”

Li Canghai hurriedly walked behind the stele, his sharp eyes swept over the stele, and he was taken aback.

Indeed, as many people say, the stele bleeds!

The red blood flowed from the top of the stele and instantly stained the entire stele.

The originally dark stone stele, after being drenched in blood, exuded a cold and strange atmosphere, even if the sun was scorching, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Where had those coolies seen such a strange thing, they all thought that it was the dragon lord who was angry, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the stone tablet.

Li Canghai didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and observed carefully.

He found that on the back of the stele was carved a hovering five-clawed golden dragon, on which were carved clouds and countless lightning bolts in the clouds.

Those lightning bolts slashed towards the golden dragon, and one of the arm-thick lightning bolts directly split the golden dragon in half.

The five-clawed golden dragon roared fiercely into the sky, and half of its body fell downward.

Li Canghai looked down, but found that the bottom of the dragon's body fell was depicted with countless corpses and dry bones.

The five-clawed golden dragon represents the emperor, and the meaning of this stone carving is obvious, that is, the emperor was punished by heaven.

And the three ancient seals 'Broken Dragon Stone' he found next to the stone carving clearly indicate the meaning.

Li Canghai's expression was cold, he walked to the front and carefully wiped the front, revealing the font on the stone tablet.

The font on the stele is a small seal, Li Canghai carefully identified it, and found that it was a line of verses: the emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, the gods are angry, and disasters are coming.

Li Canghai didn't understand what he meant, and he continued to look at the stele.

In the lower left corner of the stele, there is also a line of small characters engraved: July 12, 11th year of Tianbao.

Li Canghai's brows suddenly twisted, July 12 was the day the Yellow River burst its banks.

"Original...... The flooding of the Yellow River is a punishment from heaven! ”

"Yes, look at this stele for some years, is it really like what I said above, it was the emperor who was guilty of the heavens, which caused the flooding of the Yellow River?"

"Today's emperor favors traitorous ministers, indulges in beauty, and ignores the major affairs of the court, maybe there is really a reason for this!"

……

In the crowd, there was a lot of discussion.

Li Canghai listened to the sound of discussion, and his expression became extremely solemn.

It seems that the appearance of this stele is for people to discover and spread the contents on it.

Since ancient times, human beings have been full of fear of unknown events, and in the name of the gods, there are countless things that have caused trouble in the world.

The content on this stone tablet clearly means that the current emperor is a faint monarch, so God will let the Yellow River burst its banks to punish the emperor.

In addition, the stele has indeed been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years, and the date of the Yellow River breaking the embankment is engraved on it, which makes everyone have no doubt about the authenticity of the stele.

"You are waiting for Hugh to talk nonsense, such a big rebellion, you dare to say it, are you not afraid of being offended by heaven?" Li Canghai was worried that this rumor would spread, so he hurriedly shouted.

Everyone shrunk their necks and looked at him in fear, and one of the older men said cautiously: "My lord, it's not that we are saying such a rebellious thing, but that it is the truth!" He must have offended the Dragon Lord before he was dragged into the water and died tragically, and if we stayed here any longer, we would definitely be taken away by the Dragon King. ”

The man looked frightened when he reached Lin Laosan's corpse.

Everyone was frightened and wanted to leave the Dragon King Temple.

"Stop, where do you want to go?" When Li Canghai saw that they were leaving, his heart tightened and he shouted.

The man's eyes flashed with fear, and he said fearfully, "My lord, we ...... We are old and young, but we don't want to die here in a daze! ”

"You are gone, who will block this embankment? If the gap is not blocked, even if you have a home, it will be difficult for you to return, is this what you want? Li Canghai stopped in front of everyone and said sharply.
