Chapter 1437: A slip of paper hidden in a fish belly, a white fox speaking human words, the Ruthless Sect shall be established!
Almost at the same time.
Five hundred li east of Handan City.
The fisherman Lin San was fishing as usual. There was no way, the price of grain had risen too fiercely, and he couldn't afford it at all. He could only hope to catch more fish to improve his life.
He paddled his small boat, traveling in the Wei River, and caught a bloated grass carp from it.
"Haha, such a big grass carp, it can be used to improve life well."
Lin San returned with a smile on his face.
And to satisfy his craving, Lin San directly took a knife and cut open the fish belly.
But the next second, he was stunned.
He saw half a piece of hemp cloth stuffed in the fish bladder, with crooked blood-red characters.
Lin San was illiterate and couldn't understand what was written, but a slip of paper actually appeared in the fish belly, this must be the will of heaven!
Therefore, he hurriedly held the grass carp in one hand and the cloth strip in the other, and walked out of the house. This movement alarmed many people.
Finally, a crowd of commoners came to a private school teacher. The private school teacher saw the slip of paper, and his expression changed suddenly.
He was full of shock, spread his hands, and said—"The blue sky is dead, the Zhao clan is finished, the one-eyed opens the river and the world follows!"
"Hiss!"
The commoners heard this and all felt their scalps tingle.
The village head heard the movement and snatched the cloth strip to burn it, but was surrounded by a crowd of fishermen, who roared angrily: "Bold, you dare to destroy the decree of heaven?"
That night, Lin San's house caught fire for no reason, leaving only charred fish bones and ashes of the cloth strip.
But three days later, ten villages upstream simultaneously caught "cinnabar fish," with similar handwriting—The blue sky is dead, the Zhao clan is finished, the one-eyed opens the river and the world follows!
In an instant, the news spread far and wide.
A few days later.
Late at night.
Pitch black, only the bright moonlight covered the earth.
Zhao Guo Imperial Mausoleum.
The mausoleum night watchman Wang Wu, while patrolling as usual, suddenly heard a thin whimpering sound from behind the broken stele.
Wang Wu carried a lantern, feeling very afraid in his heart.
He couldn't see clearly and didn't dare to get too close to the stele, so he could only approach carefully, his expression nervous.
But the closer he got, the clearer the slight whimpering sound became.
"The Zhao family dragon, the Qian family phoenix, the stone man opens his eyes and the mountains and rivers move!"
Wang Wu shone the light and saw a black shadow dart past, like a white fox fleeing.
Wang Wu followed carefully and saw glowing paw prints left by phosphorus powder among the weeds.
Wang Wu was shocked, his face full of astonishment, his scalp tingling, muttering the words he had heard.
"The Zhao family dragon, the Qian family phoenix, the stone man opens his eyes and the mountains and rivers move!"
The next morning, it spread throughout the town: "The fox fairy cries at the mausoleum at night, the Zhao clan is to be exterminated!"
The village head was furious upon hearing this. He personally whipped the rumor-monger, hitting him very hard, but he couldn't stop even the woodcutters from saying they heard the fox pack in the mountains screaming "Move! Move! Move!"
In an instant, the matter became more and more evil.
Three hundred li west of Handan City.
Qingshi Town.
The people of Qingshi Town had suffered two years of disaster, with no harvest, and grain was stretched thin.
This year, they were having an even harder time.
When the price of grain skyrocketed, the people in the Qingshi Town area could only tighten their belts to live.
In the past, the court would allocate funds to provide disaster relief to the victims.
But now, the court itself was not having an easy time, and a monstrous public anger had erupted in Handan City, with commoners and soldiers fighting each other. How could they provide disaster relief?
Therefore, the Qingshi Town area was filled with starving people, and wailing was everywhere!
But at this time.
Outside Qingshi Town, a porridge shed was set up, the large pot boiling and bubbling. Guo Wuji pinched his orchid fingers and sprinkled mint and bitter mugwort leaves into it.
One bowl after another of boiling talisman water was handed to the skinny commoners by Bai Xin, who wore a veil and a white dress.
A lame old man, who could barely walk, had dry lips and hollow eyes.
But after drinking this bowl of talisman water, his forehead broke into a sweat, and he miraculously recovered some strength.
He stood up, walked shakily for a few steps, then knelt and cried, "The Ruthless Old Mother has manifested, this talisman water can really cure diseases and save people!"
Bai Xin stood on the altar and said loudly to the crowd of Zhao Guo commoners, "The blue sky is dead, the Ruthless shall be established, the year is Jiazi, you all help me!"
The next instant, a monstrous wave of sound swept out, and everyone roared out one after another.
"The blue sky is dead, the Ruthless shall be established, the year is Jiazi, you all help me!"
"The blue sky is dead, the Ruthless shall be established, the year is Jiazi, you all help me!"
Bai Xin listened to one voice after another, her expressionless face, but her heart was extremely shocked.
The Living Yama, too terrifying!
How could the so-called talisman water be useless?
