2. The Drowning Woman

Tiansong Dynasty.

April 7th is the day of sacrifice for the national celebration. People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are like huge crowds of people. Huge and well-disciplined military and official ships gather around the magnificent imperial dragon-carved boat to parade on the River of Stars to pay homage to the great Odin, the goddess of light!

Under the bright sun, the tyrant Tuoba Lie, who was wearing a dragon robe, had a solemn and sacred expression. As the ministers and wizards knelt down to welcome him, he personally respectfully 'invited' to bring out the sacred objects for sacrifice————

One hundred and thirty years ago, on a stormy night with thunder and lightning, a huge lightning flashed in the sky, and then a fisherman salvaged a strange box.

This boxy mysterious box is made of a mysterious metal that has never appeared in the Tiansong Dynasty. It is invulnerable to weapons, water and fire.[

All living beings were frightened and speculated that this was a gift from the gods to the mortal world!

The imperial court then regarded this mysterious box as a sacred object, and on April 7th every year, they paraded across the country on the River of Stars to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for blessings from the gods! This tradition has lasted for 130 years!

Tuoba Lie led all the civil and military officials to kneel facing the north and make a pious pilgrimage!

"Pray to God! May the Song Dynasty and its people be peaceful and prosperous in all directions!"

Tuoba Lie solemnly prayed loudly!

The officials knelt down and kowtowed! The people shouted long live! The momentum was overwhelming!

Sudden--

boom!

Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky!

The huge thunder caused huge commotion and panic! The wizard said that this was the response of the gods. In gratitude to the piety of mortals, the world would be blessed with peace! The people were convinced, and the more pious mountains shouted long live! Kowtow to the sky!

Tuoba Lie stood up on the bow of the boat, overlooking the people's worship, glanced at the cold iron box lying quietly on the table, and said secretly: "Who are you? Whether it is a divine object or not, you have helped the Tiansong Dynasty maintain its existence.

After more than a hundred years of stable rule, from this point of view, you are a god! I never believe that there are real gods and ghosts in the world, let alone any god. But if you are not a god, what are you? Why can't you defeat me?

Open? What is hidden inside?"

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the stern of the ship.

Tuoba Lie frowned and asked, "Guard! What happened next?"

The guards who knew about it came forward to respond to His Majesty. It seemed that a woman fell into the water during the thunder just now, and now she has been rescued!

Tuoba Lie's cold eyes flashed with a hint of severity: "Go and confirm, and call the imperial doctor to go with you! Today is the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and no one can drown to death!"

"yes!"

The guards have taken orders!

Tuoba Lie secretly thought: "Shouldn't the entire river have been cleared during the heaven-sacrifice parade? Why are there still women falling into the water? The governor of the capital is really incompetent! Someone should be replaced!"
