Chapter 43: A strange appearance suddenly appeared by the riverside

If this theory is correct, many questions can be explained clearly, such as: why scientists in previous lives dissected countless corpses, using various advanced observation methods, could not confirm the existence of dantian and meridians, because they were completely wrong in the direction.

If you want to determine the existence of the dantian and meridians, there must be the existence of internal forces, because in addition to the conductivity of internal forces, the cells and tissues of the dantian and meridians are essentially no different from other parts of the human body.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was early spring, the snow melted, and everything recovered.

Chen Qi's worries have become a reality, because a large amount of snow melts, the flow of various rivers in Lingnan has increased greatly, the water level has skyrocketed, and most of the fields reclaimed by the Chen family are on both sides of the Lishui River, if a flood breaks out, almost most of them will be flooded, because his grandfather Chen Shou went to the Central Plains, Chen Qi can only personally lead the villagers to inspect the riverbank, flood relief, busy in the dark.

One day, a farmer came to report that several strong men who had inspected the riverbank last night did not come back. Chen Qi didn't dare to slack off, and personally led people to look for him, but he found nothing, and several people disappeared inexplicably, and there were no dead or dead people. Chen Qi thought that a few people might fall into the water and the bodies were washed downstream, so he gave up the search and gave a few strong family members generous pensions to suppress the matter.

But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and in the next half a month, people disappeared near the river bank one after another, and suddenly people were panicked, rumors spread everywhere, some people said that it was the river demon who ate people, some people said that it was the water ghost in the river who pulled the stand-in, and what was even more outrageous was that some people said that it was the dragon king who recruited troops and horses, and those people went to be shrimp soldiers and crab generals......

In any case, no one is willing to inspect the riverbank, which makes Chen Qi scratch his head very much, the flood peak has not passed, the water level in the river is still in the warning line, if no one inspects, in case of danger, the consequences are unimaginable.

In desperation, Chen Qi issued a heavy reward, but no one responded, and people were frightened by the rumored river demons and water ghosts, which gave him a new understanding of the superstition of the world.

Since awakening the memories of his previous life, Chen Qi has found that the people in this world are very superstitious, better than the ancient Chinese in the previous life, almost a little sick, and the world believes that gods and demons really exist, and worships them.

As a result, various religions flourished, and in addition to Buddhism and Taoism, there were also obscene cults among the people, and even anti-human cults were spread on a large scale. Even the rebellion of the Red Turban Army had religious factors involved.

Even Confucianism, which occupies a mainstream position in the ideological circles, had to change and make concessions to ghosts and gods, the most representative point, Confucius has a famous saying, "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away", respect but not closeness. It refers to an attitude towards ghosts and gods, that is, they do not want to pay attention to him, but do not offend him, be polite to him, and never approach him.

As a result, it was changed by the Confucian scholars of this world to, "Worship ghosts and gods and wish," to respect ghosts and gods, often make wishes, the meaning is almost completely opposite, I don't know what Confucius thinks underground, and the coffin board is not pressed.

In addition to reality, Chen Qi once read through history books and found that the original rigorous and true history books were also full of superstition and absurd content, and the historical records seemed to be mixed with strange things.

For example, there was a dynasty that unified Kyushu in the history of this world: "Wei", the reason for its demise recorded in the history books is very strange, according to the "History of Wei", the last king of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wei Ai, was a tyrant, perverse, angry and resentful, as a result, the heavens punished, a mountain fell from the sky and directly destroyed the national capital Chang'an, it seemed to be worshipping the sky at that time, and the emperor, the clan, and the ministers almost did not run away.

The records of the "History of Wei" are quite normal, and the records in those miscellaneous records and wild histories are even more outrageous, some say that the Great Wei offended the immortals, and a giant hand fell from the sky to slap Chang'an into the ground; some say that someone saw a divine dragon flying over Chang'an, and the terrible dragon's breath burned Chang'an to ashes; some recorded that a terrifying giant fell from the sky and smashed Chang'an City.

In the history of more than 2,000 years in this world, the land of Kyushu has been divided and merged, and has gone through more than a dozen dynasties, whether it is their official history or wild history, it is a little tasteless, full of all kinds of absurd myths and legends, absurd records of demons and monsters, it can be seen that the discipline of these historians is almost lost, and they can almost change their careers to write fantasy novels.

Well, Chen Qi admits that the backbone of the Chinese historians in the previous life had long been broken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who deposed the hundred schools, and since then, history has been written by the victors, and history has become a little girl who can be ravaged by others, and can assume all kinds of shameful poses according to the wishes of the victors.

For example, if you study the legendary twenty-four official histories, if you study them carefully, you will find many traces of tampering, fabrication, and deletion, resulting in all kinds of absurd, bizarre, and thunderous plot records.

Of course, the festival of this world historian is even lower, Chen Qi actually saw a strange record in the official history of a dynasty, Jiangling County guarded the imperial court, and in the summer of Jiazi year, there was an evil dragon in Dajiang, opening his mouth to devour 100,000 people, and he couldn't go to the stack, so he asked the court to deal with it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the breach of the river, there was a flood in Jiangling, the government was ineffective in disaster relief, and many people died, and the prefect was afraid of losing his office, so he made up such a strange reason.

But what is even more strange is that the imperial court actually believed it, and issued a list to recruit strange people and strange people in the world, it is said that there is a fairy girl who fell from the sky, unveiled the list text, entered the river to kill the evil dragon, and then flew away without a trace.

Seeing this, Chen Qidu admired the Jiangling County Guard a little, a unwarranted fairy girl slaying a dragon, there is no difference between death and death, no one can tell whether the evil dragon exists or not, and the court has no way to investigate.

Although he complained in his heart, Chen Qi could only helplessly take the lead in patrolling the riverbank, and by the way looked for the missing strong men, to be honest, the disappearance of these people is indeed a little weird, even if Chen Qi, who kills people without blinking, is a little hairy in his heart, he can only comfort himself in his heart, maybe they really fell into the water, or maybe they encountered a beast that preyed at night.

In this way, more than ten days passed, Chen Qi led people to inspect every night, but nothing happened, he breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at himself for being suspicious.

"Little Master, come and see, what is this?" Chen Xin, who was opening the road in front of him, suddenly exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Chen Qi rushed forward, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be taken aback, under the light of the torches, a "ravine" appeared on the originally smooth river bank, one foot wide, half a foot deep, zigzag in an S-shape, stretching from the distant mountains, into the Lishui.

This is very similar to the snake road, that is, the traces of the big snake walking, but Chen Qi quickly denied this speculation, if this is the trace of the python crawling, according to the proportion, this big python is at least one meter thick, and the minimum length is fifteen meters, it is obviously impossible for such a huge python to exist in the world, and the longest python in the previous life, the longest python Burmese reticulated python, is only about ten meters.

"Little master, those people won't be eaten by the big snake, right?" Chen Zhen asked with a little trembling, the man who was usually brave and fearless in killing the enemy was a little pale at this time.

"What nonsense, how can there be such a big snake," Chen Qi shouted, "If you want to know what it is, follow me to the end of the trail and see what is going on." ”

"No, little master, it's dark at this time, and it's really not easy to take risks. ”

"yes, we don't have blades with us, so it's not good to encounter monsters. ”

"Little master, it's not too late to gather troops and horses tomorrow. ”

.......

Everyone dissuaded him, but Chen Qi had no choice but to give up, and he didn't have the heart to continue the inspection, so he could only go home.

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Qi got up early as usual, played a few boxing sessions, and then returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and settled to carry the true qi.

"Bang dang!" The bedroom door was suddenly knocked open, and Chen Li's tall figure rushed in, "Little master, look at it, what is this, little master, you... What's wrong with you?"

"Get out!" Chen Qi forcibly suppressed the severe pain in his abdomen, his face turned red, and he roared angrily.

"Little master, don't be angry, I... Get out!"

After Chen Qi left, Chen Qi crossed his knees again and introduced the true qi that had forked the road into the right path, before he let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
