Chapter 50: The Three-Eyed Giant
(Thanks to Fan Shengtian, ponzi, and the Nine Heavens Divine Rune Book Friends for their tips...... )
But in this historical time and space, it is completely different!
This time, Liu Shengzhi will do it once and for all.
As all the water gods started to intercept and channel the clouds, the sky began to clear up gradually.
As the sky cleared, these people and so on were all in high spirits.
I got up early in the morning in the dark and smelled the thick fragrance that was billowing and said.
But it is a porridge cooked in a large pot, with a big steamed bun and a corn cob for each person.
The steamed bun is okay, although this kind of refined grain was rarely eaten before. And this corn is just a fresh goodie. Not only is the yield high, but also the location is not chosen.
You don't need to occupy fertile paddy fields, as long as you can produce in the barren land behind the mountain beam house.
Since its promotion in the past two years, it has been well received, and almost every family has a kind.
This kind of food is really not bad!
Moreover, the most important thing is that the government manages the meal...... This is the most grateful for the kindness of today's son......
Since ancient times, and even in another time and space trajectory, for thousands of years, the imperial court has conscripted labor without food.
All the food is brought from home by yourself, that is, you are from Jiangnan, and you are transferred to Chang'an to repair the city wall......
It's all about bringing your own food......
Months of hard work came and went, plus the time of labor, and a trip was to prepare food for months. It's just forcing the poor to go bankrupt!
It would be strange if the conscripted servant had the heart to work.
Speaking of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, there was an outbreak directly caused by the requisition of the people and the fact that they went to serve?
Liu Shengzhi simply didn't do such a bastard thing, and directly let the government take care of the food.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was still weak, he would even be ready to pay his wages. Forced labor, which had been unpaid since ancient times, was turned into wage labor.
However, although these can't be done for the time being, the food can't be bad at all!
There is enough meat every day, which is also in a harsh environment. Tens of thousands of people can still ensure a certain amount of physical strength and morale!
Eat it so hot, the weather is sunny today, and you don't have to work in the rain.
This made Zheng Ren's heart a little lighter, and he commanded his team to start working in the field, digging up earthworks around the old river.
But he was digging and digging, and suddenly felt a shock from the hoe, as if he had dug on some stone, and his heart ached to death.
The tools they used were all fine iron tools, which were rarely seen by the common people. Now if it rolls up, it will really hurt people's hearts!
Soon, after Zheng Ren checked the hoe, he found that it was really circled, and he was in a heartache.
Then I heard the people next to me shouting, "Dig up a stone statue, dig up a stone statue." ”
Sure enough, he dug out a round stone in the mud, and if he looked closely, it was indeed the head of a stone statue, with facial features and ears carved on it.
Zheng Ren glanced at it, and his heart was gloomy, who buried this thing here and hurt my hoe and roll my mouth. It's so hard!
"How can there be a stone man here, dig it out and take a look......"
Everyone said that they all felt strange, this head was huge, I am afraid that it is not the size of a water tank. Who would have erected a stone statue here?
However, it soon became clear that the stone statue was unusually large. I'm afraid that all of them will be more than ten zhang high, and for a while in the strangeness, there is a chill.
The Yellow River has flowed for thousands of years, and I don't know how many towns and villages have been submerged, and there are graves in fertile fields. It is also the emperors of the past dynasties who sacrificed to the Yellow River and threw down countless sacrifices.
Therefore, in the old course of the Yellow River, it is possible to dig out any mess.
Living on the edge of the Yellow River, there is even a legend that the water washed out a boatload of gold and silver.
But no matter what, such a large stone figure suddenly appeared in front of him, which still made people feel awe-inspiring and afraid.
Especially when the stone man emerged more and more from the mud, someone screamed: "This is not a stone, this is a human ...... Giant's Bones ......"
When the people around heard it, they were all scared......
Soon rumors and commotion had reached Liu Shengzhi's ears.
"Stone man? Interesting! Could it be that he is still a one-eyed stone man?" Liu Shengzhi said in a mocking tone.
The people who heard it naturally didn't know that Mo Dao Shiren had one eye and stirred up the Yellow River to rebel against the world...... None of this trajectory has yet to happen.
Therefore, he will not understand the deep meaning of Liu Shengzhi's words at all. Some officials trembled and said: "No, it's not a one-eyed stone man, but a three-eyed stone man." No, not a stone man, it's the skeleton of a giant...... Three-eyed ......"
When Liu Shengzhi heard this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be joyful and mocking: "Three-eyed giant, interesting!"
As he spoke, he ordered someone to take him to see it.
The Xuanfang Palace was only a few miles away from where the stone man was found, but it was extremely difficult to walk, and it rained heavily for many days, and there was mud everywhere......
Liu Shengzhi's current strength was suppressed by Tianzhu, but he couldn't use it at all. At the moment, just like an ordinary person.
However, the problem is that as the Son of Heaven, to suppress all the people in the world, you should put prestige first. You can't be like a mud mouse, wading through the mud, right?
In this case, what is the sanctity of the Son of Heaven?
Therefore, there are naturally officials who lead their subordinates to shoot, and wooden planks are laid along the way to facilitate walking.
This took several hours, and when Liu Shengzhi walked in front of the stone man, the entire stone man had already been dug out. Nearly twenty meters high, equivalent to four or five floors.
But sure enough, it was an almost petrified skeleton, and it was used to all the digging, and it still stood still, and it seemed to maintain a fighting posture. It was as if he was fighting the enemy and then he died......
The most striking thing is that this skeleton is indeed three-eyed. In addition to the skeleton's two black hole eye sockets, there was also a horizontal vertical eye on the forehead.
Today, there is no muscle tissue inside. It looked more like a crack, as if someone had shot it in the center of the eyebrow......
"Three-eyed stone man, sure enough, it's three-eyed stone man!" Liu Shengzhi muttered to himself.
Originally, I thought that this was a deliberate manipulation by "people...... In the so-called troubled times, people's minds are confused, and the gods are also unstable, and often descend supernatural spirits.
From the death of the first emperor encountered by Qin Shi Huang, to the later one-eyed stone man......
Now that Liu Shengzhi has gathered hundreds of thousands of people here to raise a big work, according to convention, it is the best time for some people to make trouble behind the scenes.
Therefore, Liu Shengzhi was originally suspicious!
However, now I did see the bones of the giant, and the bones of the Three-Eyed Giant.
My heart suddenly moved!
Three-eyed giant, the old road of the Yellow River...... Liu Shengzhi seems to have remembered something! )
