Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Monster City

Knowing that this is Longtan, the foreign devil Xu Lede was overjoyed, and immediately called the fisherman over and asked: Hello, how do you know this is Longtan? The fisherman said: "I went down to the center of the river and saw a very deep cave with dead bones piled up in the cave. If it wasn't a dragon hiding in the cave, what else could it be?" Xu Lede said: NO, NO, NO, I don't believe that there are real dragons in the world. Since there are bones in the cave, it proves that the thing is dead. Now I raise the bounty. Who can fish out those bones? Give him the bounty.

Under the heavy reward, some desperate people stepped forward and sneaked into the heart of the river, and they found a deep cave at the bottom of the river.Drilling into the hole, I saw eight scattered animal skeletons.The fisherman fished out all these strange bones.These bones are huge, the longest one is about 70 meters.Xu Lede found professionals to piece it together, and finally pieced together eight strange things that couldn't be named. Although things are strange, the research results come out quickly.After research, this huge creature is really a dragon, referred to as ichthyosaur.This object appeared 20 million years earlier than dinosaurs, but was extinct 25 million years earlier than dinosaurs.Although this thing is extinct, it is definitely a dragon, which is the most scientific way of saying it.

Schleder took photos of the ichthyosaur fossils and published them in "Oriental Magazine".The local officials in Yichang were even more excited. While ordering the local people to hold a grand singing and dancing party, they reported to the President Yuan Shikai, saying: "The fish and the dragon come out of the water, which is really the auspiciousness of the great emperor."On behalf of the people of Yichang, he strongly urged Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Yuan Shikai sent Zhang Jian, the former champion of the Qing Dynasty, to investigate the matter, and replied:

Nowadays, science is new day by day, and everything must reveal its truth, but it can be exaggerated and obscure, and whitewash the peace.There is no need to discuss what should be paid to the history museum. Judging from Yuan Shikai's reply, he is obviously more scientific than the local officials in Yichang.But brains did not help, because the fourth sign appeared again. The fourth strange omen, known as the halo of the moon, was discovered by a petition group composed of people of various nationalities on the way to Beijing to strongly demand that President Yuan be enthroned and proclaim himself emperor.That night, the people of the petition group stood in the wilderness, looking at the city of Beijing, thinking of President Yuan in their hearts.When I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw four halos around the moon, one inside the other, and the moon was in the middle.

As we all know, in the solar system, the moon does not have a halo, but it doesn't matter if you say there is no halo. There are so many people in the petition group, but they have all seen it with their own eyes.Take a closer look, the moon is in the center, and there are four halos around it. What does this mean?This is the number nine to five, which means that Yuan Shikai has to become emperor. If he doesn't become emperor, wouldn't the moon be busy in vain? It was not only the moon that supported Yuan Shikai as emperor, even the toad expressed his opinion. How did Toad express his position?

It is said that in the city of Beijing, there are a large number of frogs living in the Three Seas (Note: Beihai, Zhonghai, and Nanhai are collectively called the Three Seas within the jurisdiction of Beijing). It is happy.Just as Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good year, and the sound of frogs is heard." This toad is characterized by croaking, and if it is not croaking, it is not called a toad.But in 1915, all the toads in Beijing, as if they had made a deal, kept their mouths tightly shut, holding their mouths tightly from morning to night, day after day, and insisted on not saying a word.

Why are the toads silent? The toads kept silent, probably because they felt that they had nothing to say? There is really nothing left to say.You know, when the people in the petition group cried and begged Yuan Shikai to be the emperor, they explained that the toad did not speak, and they supported Yuan Shikai to be the emperor.Later Yuan Shikai really climbed onto the Dragon Throne. Unexpectedly, the people in the petition group suddenly changed their tune, claiming that Toad did not say a word because he opposed Yuan Shikai's becoming emperor... The petition group had said everything, so Toad had nothing to say. .

It's fine if the toad doesn't speak, but what about the scorpion?Can the scorpion talk? Scorpions... What's the matter with scorpions here? Have!It is said that in 1915, the Tiananmen Gate Tower was in disrepair for a long time, and it had been listed as a dangerous building and had to be renovated with funds.Let's renovate, so workers are invited to dismantle the old city building first, and mark every brick and piece of wood that has been dismantled with a number, and then reassemble them after they are all dismantled and scattered.Just as it was being demolished, there was a sudden bang, and a wall collapsed before it could be demolished. Everyone could clearly see that something was wriggling among the collapsed bricks.

What is it?Everyone took a closer look and heard a bang. A huge monster came out of the broken bricks and spewed out a black gas with a strong stench to the workers.Several workers were sprayed on the face by the black gas, and immediately fell to the ground, their faces were black, and they died of poisoning. All of a sudden the workers became chaotic, some ran wildly, and some rushed forward with a shovel and beat it wildly. They heard crackling, crackling, crackling, and after a fierce struggle, the strange thing was finally beaten to pieces.Then everyone moved closer and took a closer look, hey, it turned out to be a giant poisonous scorpion, the length of its body was more than seven feet, maybe more than eight feet.

This incident was the sixth strange omen that year, known as Xie Danglou, but this incident has always been strongly questioned by people in the scientific community.Scientists concluded that it is impossible for a scorpion to grow to seven or eight feet. Who allowed the scorpion to grow so barbarously?Besides, what about samples?You said that the scorpion is eight feet long, and it is up to you to say that the body is eight hundred feet long. Go, bring the scorpion here, and let us have a look. No one can bring a giant scorpion to a scholar, so it's hard to say whether it's true or not.

The matter of the scorpion hadn't been clarified yet, but the mysterious case of Tian Yuxue appeared again.
