Chapter 44: The Ancient City Disappears

[Thank you so much, I will definitely invite you to dinner another day!] 】

[Don't change the day, invite me to dinner tomorrow.] Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info】

[Huh?! 】

[Haha, I forgot to tell you, my afternoon train, tomorrow morning to S City, don't forget to pick me up when the time comes. I'm busy beforehand now. Bow! 】

[Well, okay, see you tomorrow.] 】

It should have been a good thing for my high school classmates to come to see me, but I couldn't be happier. Ever since I got the call, my eyelids have been jumping, and my heart is full of discomfort.

Regardless of him, I took out the phone from under the pillow and entered QQ.

Sure enough, a "1" sign appeared in the dialog box of [Xiao Pan].

I clicked in and found that it was a file that was only 51k.

In a folder, there is only one article, titled: "The Mystery of the Sinking of the Ancient City: Myths and Legends"

A thousand-year-old city, mysteriously disappeared. There have been many opinions about the "disappearance" of a city since ancient times.

Both the civil and academic circles have different views. For thousands of years, the folk have spread a myth and legend of [Jellyfish Niangniang flooded Sicheng].

As for the reasons for the disappearance of the ancient city, the academic community has put forward many views, the more famous ones are: [crustal movement theory], [Yellow River embankment theory], [volcanic eruption hypothesis]

However, there is a lack of corresponding evidence to support it, and the above are relatively likely hypotheses. When I was a child, I heard my father mention that my grandfather died in 1956 due to a strange broadcast from Hell's Gate, and I was determined to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient city.

What bothers the academic community today is that not a single vestige of the ancient city has been found, and not even a single brick or tile has been unearthed.

How could a large ancient county disappear without leaving a trace?

Five years ago, I discovered a shocking secret from the piles of archives. The disappearance of the ancient city and the appearance of the Gates of Hell are inextricably linked!

According to the existing historical records, it is certain that there were two large-scale deaths in S City. The first appearance was in 1884, and there were 779 unnatural deaths in S City. The second time, in 1956, had a 170 unnatural death.

The deaths in 1956 and 1884 were markedly different, although the majority of the people in both were born in the year of Jiazi.

But the number of deaths in 1884 was much higher than in 1956, and most of the unnatural deaths in 1956 were among the most heinous criminals, and the large-scale unnatural deaths of 1884 had no pattern to follow, more like a curse, a massacre of people born in the year of the C.

Seeing this, I suddenly remembered what Shen Shuang said to me, Grandma is the agent of the Gate of Hell. The gates of hell come because of evil and go because of evil.

Therefore, most of the people who died were heinous people, and they were also counted as guilty for a reason. This sentence is just right for 1956, the equation, and Zhou Lei's death, but it is not in line with the unnatural death of 1884. Could it be that the agents of the gates of hell on earth are also replaced? How many people they choose to take are also up to them?

In that reincarnation in 1884, the gates of hell took away a large number of people born in the year of the Ninth Child, regardless of good or evil. And in 1956, although many people born in the year of Bingzi died, they were not good people.

Including the opening of the gates of hell in 2016, the main body of death is still people born in the year of the second child. But whether to distinguish between good people and bad people depends on the meaning of the agent.

So what does Grandma's disappearance mean?

I felt furious in my heart, and I didn't dare to think any further, so I continued to read this article.

So far, it is unclear why the results of the two large-scale paranormal events were different.

Later, in a 1956 archive, I discovered that the death was inextricably linked to the disappearance of the ancient city, so I shifted my focus to investigating the mystery of the ancient city.

I collected the myths and legends that have been circulated among the people about the disappearance of the ancient city.

The story also starts with "Journey to the West": The Jade Emperor ordered the Dragon King of Jinghe to drop one foot of rain, and the Dragon King had already heard that there was a Yuan Shoucheng clever plan among the people, and he was very unconvinced. turned into a mortal and asked for rain, and Yuan Shoucheng calculated the time and rainfall without any difference. In order to make Yuan Shoucheng's prediction come to naught, the Dragon King of Jinghe privately changed the time and amount of rainfall. After causing a catastrophe, the dragon king was terrified, so he begged Yuan Shi. Yuan asserted that the Dragon King would be beheaded by Tang Prime Minister Wei Zheng for disobeying the will. And let the Dragon King seek a way to survive from Tang Taizong. The Jade Emperor was furious and appointed Wei Zheng as the supervisor and beheader. In order to survive, the Dragon King of Jinghe pleaded with Tang Taizong. Taizong agreed, and when it was time to slay the dragon, he summoned Wei Zheng to fight against him. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng went down, took a nap, and his soul ascended to heaven, and he still beheaded the Dragon King.

The god of water, the jellyfish Niangniang, heard that the dragon king was beheaded, and in order to help him avenge it, he wanted to drown the whole world.

A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. The god of water finally stole a load of divine water from the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Realm, knew about the jellyfish Niangniang's attempt, so he asked the jellyfish Niangniang for water to drink the donkey under the pretext that the weather was hot and dry and the donkey was thirsty. The jellyfish lady didn't know that he was an immortal, so she was just a donkey, so she was relieved to let him drink. Who knew that the little donkey was a god donkey, and he almost drank all the water in one go. When the jellyfish saw that only about half a scoop of water was left, she hurried to grab the bucket.

As soon as she saw that the flooded world had come to naught, the jellyfish mother was disheartened and poured the water directly.

As a result, the entire city of Sicheng was submerged, and the ancient city that had existed for more than 1,500 years was erased on the land of China. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he was very angry and sent the gods to catch the jellyfish Niangniang, put her in the glazed well in the Baoji Mountain, and punished her for a thousand years.

In folklore, it is not nonsense that the god of Sishui flooded Sicheng for his own selfish interests.

Since ancient times, there will be more or less real shadows in mythological stories. Maybe the ancient city was really flooded! It's just that it is unimaginable that most of the floods can directly inundate the entire city, leaving no trace.

After reading what Yongxi wrote, I finally understood why he clung to the scene where Wei Zheng killed the Dragon King in "Journey to the West" before he died.

As Yongxi said in the article, behind the myths and legends there will be more or less shadows of real events.

"Goo! Mutter! "My stomach protested, and I saw that it was half past nine.

Well, it's time to get up for breakfast. I quickly put on my clothes and went to brush my teeth and wash my face.

It was cold and windy outside, and it seemed to be cooling down again. I wrapped up my clothes and walked briskly to the cafeteria.

Under the current A teaching building, the cordon is still there, and there are still traces of Xu Wei's blood on the ground.

I suddenly remembered the Yongxi USB flash drive I watched yesterday, and when I finish eating, I'm going to finish reading it, maybe there's some secret hidden in it.

【Sweet? As soon as I looked up, I found that it was Tian Tian who was walking towards me, and I saw that her face was red from the cold, and she kept rubbing her hands, looking pitiful.

[Tiantian, aren't you with Shen Shuang? Why are you on your own right now? 】
