In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, under the wise rule of Emperor Taizong, the world was at peace and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. At this time, a vision appeared in the East China Sea. Hundreds of scarlet birds kept circling over the coast of the mainland for three days and three nights, and then suddenly disappeared on the horizon. The fishermen on the coast of Donghai County all believe that this is a sign of great changes in the world. God will send gods and men to the world. Although it is not a turbulent era, the time for dynasty change has arrived early. Suddenly, rumors spread throughout Donghai County, making people panic. Li Kui, the governor of Donghai County, had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He quickly blocked the city gates and prohibited the people of Donghai County from leaving the city. He reported the matter to the court overnight.
A few days later, on the eighth day of July in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, all the people in Donghai County and the surrounding area of 100 miles were killed overnight, including 32 members of the family of County Governor Li Kui, as well as the soldiers stationed in the city. And their bodies were sunk into the East China Sea. Legend has it that people's blood dyed the sea water red and has never disappeared. The sea area is still red to this day, as if the scarlet bird appearing with the god continued the prophecy that caused them to die.
