The golden light dissipated, everything around became rubble, and screams were heard from all around. Jiang Liuer knew that he had caused a huge disaster, but when he jumped down the cliff, he took his life to thank the world, and suddenly felt the cold wind. The bursts of blowing made him clear-headed, and he suddenly woke up and thought in his heart:
"A man is born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve immortal deeds. If he fails in his ambition and dies, how can he be worthy of the great kindness of the Supreme Emperor! How can he be worthy of the common people of Qi! A dignified nine-foot man, with a majestic body, has grown up since childhood. With eighteen martial arts in me, I can’t just give up like this! First find the old thief Chun Shen, kill the old bald donkey, and take revenge!”
Turning back to look at the group of Taoist priests and Taoist boys, the evil god appeared just now and exploded to death and injury. They all fell to the ground unconscious, and no one could survive the struggle.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Liu'er became more and more ashamed and said to the crowd: "It's because I didn't listen to your advice just now and was deceived by the demon monk. I opened the Demon Suppression Hall without authorization and caused such a big disaster and caused everyone to suffer! I'm sure the old thief He hasn't escaped far, so I'm going to kill him! If I don't kill this thief, I, Jiang Liu'er, will never be human again!"
One of the Taoist priests who was slightly injured struggled and said to Jiang Liuer:
"The five seas and seven continents are locked up in this palace, and a total of one thousand and one demon kings are inside. There are stone tablets erected on it, with dragon seals and phoenix seals on them, and they live here. Letting them down to earth now will definitely be a disaster. A great catastrophe. I’m afraid even if the True Martial God tries to catch him, he won’t be able to catch it in time.”
"Come on, general, don't blame yourself. This is a disaster that is difficult to avoid. We have the blessing of the True Martial God. General, don't worry, just go."
Jiang Liu'er was so ashamed that he picked up the Yanling knife and hung up his waist knife. When he looked around, there was nothing else. He sighed and said goodbye to everyone.
There is poetry to prove it:
Once the thousand-year divine lock is opened, hundreds of ghosts and evil spirits will emerge from the fountain.
He has nothing to do but causes trouble. He originally intended to kill the enemy but instead caused disaster.
From now on, the world is in chaos, and wars are raging everywhere.
Although the Japanese pirates in the shogunate are detestable, they will cause trouble in the world from now on.
Jiang Liuer went to the front hall to get the magic weapon gourd, and searched for the escaped evil god along the way. Where could he find it at this time?
After turning back, all the Taoist priests disappeared, and only Jiang Liuer was left on the empty hilltop.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jiang Liuer continued on his way. The moon was sparse and the night owls in the mountains were screaming strangely, which made him upset.
Two bright moons, one in the east and one in the west, one bright and one dark, Jiang Liu'er had long been accustomed to it and didn't care about it.
I just walked and walked in the mountains for an unknown amount of time. Finally, I was exhausted and leaned against the big pine tree to rest.
Suddenly I heard the roar of a tiger.
"Panasonic? Panasonic?"
Jiang Liu'er was surprised and happy. He looked around, but Panasonic was nowhere to be seen. The roar of the tiger gradually faded away until he could no longer hear it.
Jiang Liu'er was extremely annoyed. He cut off the thorns on the roadside with his knife, and hacked at the pine tree randomly, causing sawdust to fly across the trunk.
"Hahaha, the tree will not resist unless it becomes a spirit."
"who?"
Jiang Liuer turned around suddenly and saw the figure standing under the moonlight.
"You bald bastard are you not dead yet?"
"You used your blood to unblock the demon-suppressing lock, and the ancient god was born. I can live for another five hundred years, hahaha."
Master Chun Shen stood with his head held high, standing on the cliff, with his arms slightly spread out, as if he was about to jump at the next moment.
"Okay, it doesn't take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find no place. It turns out you are hiding here!"
Host Chun Shen was not in a hurry, and he didn't even seem to want to escape. He had a weird smile on his face.
"Thanks to you, the ancient god was able to escape from the Demon Suppression Palace. Aren't you, the Supreme Emperor, going to conquer the whole world? Now that the demons all over the world have come out, he will be busy in the future."
"Bald donkey, you are about to die, and you still have a tough talk. I will chop you up today!" Jiang Liu'er roared, raised the blunderbuss and shot towards the other side.
With a bang, the white smoke dispersed, and Host Chun Shen had long since disappeared.
Jiang Liu'er picked up the Yanling knife and rushed forward, looking for traces of the demon monk. He didn't want to take two steps, but the sole of his foot slipped and he stepped on a stone. He staggered and his body suddenly lost balance.
, fell down from the cliff...

He didn't know how long he had been asleep. When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Liu'er found that he was in a military camp, surrounded by people watching the excitement.
"The Emperor has just gone to Mount Fuji. Ministers, if you have any reports, please come back later."
Dongfang Zhu explained to the ministers with a smile on his face.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. There was a fierce battle in Edo City. Why did the Emperor go to Mount Fuji alone?
Jiang Liuer struggled to stand up.
Dongfang Zhu saw him and smiled quickly:
"General, you must take good care of your body after working hard on your horse. The Emperor asked before leaving that the general should have a good rest when he returns to Edo."
Deng Changxiong, fully clothed in armor, rushed forward, congratulated Dongfang and asked, "Eunuch Dongfang, the Emperor has really gone to Mount Fuji. I heard that an eruption has begun on the mountain."
The explosion that Deng Changxiong mentioned was not the explosion of Japanese people, but an explosion in the literal sense, that is, a volcanic eruption.
"That's right! Before Edo was captured, the Emperor went to Mount Fuji. What should we, the ministers, do if anything goes wrong?"
The speaker was Zhang Pu, a scholar. Compared with the military generals, this civil servant representative was more concerned about the safety of the Supreme Emperor at the moment. Judging from the fragile relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Guangde, if anything happened to the Supreme Emperor at this time, the Eastern Expedition would not be affected. , maybe all the civil and military officials who followed them would be eliminated by the young and energetic Emperor Guangde.
"Tell me, where is the Supreme Emperor!" Zhao Shujiao stepped forward and grabbed Dongfang Zhu's collar, saying angrily.
"If something happens to the Supreme Emperor, how can we explain it to Emperor Guangde!" Wang Congzhi also got angry.
Seeing that all the ministers were beginning to ask questions, Dongfang Zhurao was born green and had no access to oil and salt. At this time, he also lost his bearings and could only hesitate and say:
"The Supreme Emperor said that he will fight the evil god. If he wins, he and the Japanese will sink together. His old man will become an immortal. Mount Fuji and Edo will sink to the bottom of the sea. The Japanese will fall into the eighteenth level of hell and return to their original position. The Supreme Emperor said Let our family tell you to withdraw our troops as soon as possible, return to Daqi, and assist Emperor Guangde with all our heart..."
Before Dongfang Zhu finished speaking, there was already silence in the camp.
The Supreme Emperor's practice of cultivating mysteries was an open secret in the Da Qi court. Many people knew that the old emperor was only one step away from becoming an immortal.
But I didn't expect that the way the Supreme Emperor finally became an immortal would be so tragic.
"When did your Majesty climb the mountain?"
"Last night at midnight."
Everyone fell into silence.
Whether to withdraw troops immediately triggered heated discussions among several coaches.
Zhao Lijiao and Wang Zengbin advocated continuing the offensive and complying with the edict issued by the Supreme Emperor. After breaking the city, they would kill all the Japanese Japanese people in Edo. It would be best to burn the city on fire to complete a thorough cleanup.
Deng Changxiong and Wu Aheng believed that if the state was really going to sink, they should withdraw their troops immediately.
Civil servants all agreed with Deng Changxiong that civil servants did not like fighting at any time.
However, hundreds of thousands of siege troops have surrounded Edo Castle, and it is not easy to retreat now.
While everyone was arguing, the earthquake struck.
Mount Fuji spewed blood-red magma, and volcanic ash covered half of the sky like a dark cloud.
The ground shook.
The Japanese people in Edo City howled at the bottom of their lungs, and the shogunate soldiers in the city scrambled to escape from this hellish city regardless of the intensive firepower of the Qi army.
The sound made by the shogunate's army did not sound like what humans could make. It was clearly the wailing of demons from hell.
When things got to this point, even the most militant Zhao Shujiao began to hesitate, hesitating whether to continue the fight and die in the volcano with the Japanese pirates.

When later generations of Qi historians recounted the Eastern Conquest of Japan, they habitually used heroic and grand narratives to praise Qi Taizu, portraying the Supreme Emperor as a supernatural being that transcended human beings. In fact, this was indeed the case. However, it happened in the 17th century. The Edo Super War in the 1950s
Earthquakes, as well as natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and island sinking caused by earthquakes, are also traceable from a geological perspective.
In fact, due to changes in the earth's crust, frequent volcanic activities and constant earthquakes in various places, it is not a fantasy that the Japanese country would sink to the bottom of the sea.
There are many literary and artistic works in later generations that restore this period of history to a certain extent. For example, the disaster blockbuster "The Sinking of Japan" directed by the famous director Sunnomiya Chi in Fuso Province tells the entire process of the sinking of Japan in a relatively objective and fair manner.
Located at the extinct boundary of the Eurasian and Pacific plates, there are about a hundred active volcanoes in the mainland, which is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Japanese people. The most representative one is Mount Fuji, which has been silent for more than 300 years. , it is a typical active volcano.
Mount Fuji is an active volcano straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures with an altitude of 3,775.63 meters. It was gradually formed hundreds of thousands of years ago.
11,000 years ago, a large amount of basaltic lava erupted from the top of Ancient Fuji, forming the main body of Mount Fuji today: New Fuji. From 11,000 years ago to 3,000 years ago, New Fuji has been continuously spewing lava.
In written documents, we can find records of multiple eruptions of Mount Fuji, such as:
The Enretsu eruption from 800 to 802 AD;
Zhenguan eruption in 864 AD;
The Hoei eruption in 1707 AD was the first eruption of Mount Fuji. According to records, 4 centimeters of volcanic ash fell in Edo (now Tokyo) at that time.
Seismic activity has caused some areas of Japan to sink. Although Japan experienced frequent earthquakes and part of the country was submerged in sea water, imperial seismologist Zhao Longping (1974-2055) believed that in the 17th century, three hundred years ago, Just relying on natural geographical changes, the probability that all or most of the Japanese country will be submerged is very small, almost zero.
There is also the possibility that global warming has caused the glaciers in the polar regions of the earth to continue to melt, and the global sea level has risen. The lower altitude areas of the Japanese country will be submerged by the sea water, but this will not cause the entire Japanese country to sink. Some higher mountainous areas It will still come out of the water.
Considering that Daqi Industrial Gemin had not been completed in the seventeenth century, and global warming was nonsense, this conclusion was meaningless.
Of course, geological movements caused the Pacific Plate to subduct under the Eurasian Plate, which may also push the Japanese country into the Mariana Trench, or even sink it into the mantle.
Theoretically, this possibility exists, but the whole process is very slow, taking at least millions or even tens of millions of years.
In short, one night more than 300 years ago, Japan's Honshu (including part of Shikoku Island) suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea overnight. Tokugawa Iemitsu and his tens of millions of people were all buried in the belly of the fish and became aquatic animals. One member.
The current common view among academic circles is that it was a miracle of the Supreme Emperor.
Of course, there are also mysterious organizations (Imperial Rebels) who swear that it is a strategic transfer of the Japanese people, returning to hibernate under the sea - they are the descendants of Amaterasu - waiting for the next opportunity to surface and reconquer Eurasia. mainland.
So much so that imperial fraudsters often send messages like this to the general public:
Hello everyone, I am Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third-generation general who conquered barbarians. In fact, I have never died. I have 1,000 tons of gold on the bottom of the East China Sea. I now need 2,000 imperial coins to unfreeze my gold on the bottom of the sea (to refuel the submarine). You If you have prestige, you can transfer it to me. The account number is my mobile phone number! After turning around, I will directly lead the shogunate army to resurrect tomorrow and conquer the world, letting you command the three armies!
