Locust

Chapter 152
Inside the Red Lotus Pavilion.

As one of Cao Cuo's incarnations, Blood God Son naturally knew that the He family had an inexplicable and unclear connection with the locust.Back then, when the He family besieged Mingjian Villa, they had the assistance of the Dandan Locust.

Maybe, the He family is the culprit in this locust disaster.

Blood God Son said bluntly: "The He family can't be trusted. If they really wanted to resist the locust disaster and go northward, they wouldn't just send two newly promoted Master Jiedan to Tiejian Gorge."

Hongxiu murmured: "The leader is saying that the He family intends to condone the spread of the locust plague? Are they planning to support the bandits?"

"The He family has long been in contact with the monster locust." Blood God Son said lightly, "It is not impossible to raise the bandits' self-respect this time, or they are trying to add fuel to the flames..."

Hongxiu said solemnly: "If the He family really acts like this, the pass of Iron Sword Gorge will be broken sooner or later, and the plague of locusts will spread to the whole Nanyi. At that time, Caishiyuan will also be doomed, and there will be chaos."

She had already imagined the locust plague passing through the border, the devastation of lives, and the tragic scene of thousands of miles of red land. The whole Nanyi might experience a catastrophe.

Why did the He family do this?What is their purpose?
Hongxiu's expression turned serious and he said: "Master, if the locust disaster goes northward, Caishiyuan and Shimeng will also suffer catastrophe. How should we deal with it?"

Xueshenzi calmly said: "Chixiao Mountain, Honglianfang City, and Shiling City are connected by formations, and they are as solid as gold. It is difficult for locust disasters to affect here. It is enough to take the necessary precautions."

"Under the catastrophe, there must be a large number of victims in the secular world, who will flood into Shiling City for refuge. As the master of one side, I will take on the responsibility of protecting one side. You contact Ouyang Zhen and store more supplies and fodder. For future needs..."

"This plague of locusts has been brewing for a long time. Once it breaks out, I am afraid it will not stop in a short time. In the enchantment of the Blood Transformation God Formation, we must reclaim a few more spiritual fields and plant yellow bud rice to supply the needs of the market... ..."

If this plague of locusts lasts for a long time, it will not only be a catastrophe for the secular world, but also a catastrophe for the world of cultivating immortals in Nanyi.The plague of locusts crossed the border, and no grass grew.The disaster cloud dominated by the demon locusts of Jiedan swept across Nanyi, and the grain-producing areas everywhere would be destroyed.

The monks in the Qi training state and the foundation building state are still unable to eat the clouds and drink the dew, and live without grain.Their practice also requires a lot of resources to assist them. If the yellow bud rice harvest fails on a large scale, the whole Nanyi will definitely suffer from a "rice shortage".These monks will not starve to death, but without resources, their cultivation will stagnate, and panic may cause a lot of turmoil.

Hongxiu has always been intelligent, and he can imagine the chaos that many locust plagues will cause. Ordinary monks will suffer from it, let alone the millions of mortals on the quarry.

At that time, the surrounding area of ​​Shiling City will probably be full of starvation and death, and the tragic scene of lying corpses for thousands of miles, she can't bear it.

Hongxiu carefully suggested: "Master, even if the locust plague passes through the border, Shiling City will not be able to protect too many people even with all its strength."

"Right now, Lu Yunfei has established a firm foothold in the Gu Wood World, and the construction and development of Eternal City also requires a lot of labor. At that time, we may be able to transfer some of the victims to the Gu Wood World for resettlement and stabilize the foundation there."

The Gu wood world is densely covered with poisonous miasma, poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, which is not suitable for poor and weak ordinary human races to survive.However, within the enchantment of the Blood Transformation Array, poisonous miasma and danger can be isolated, creating an environment suitable for the survival of the human race.

But in this way, if the mortals of Wangu Mountain were discovered by the He family, their relationship with Shiling City might be exposed.

Blood God Son thought for a moment, then agreed:

"I'll leave it to you and Lu Yunfei to discuss and deal with this matter, and reserve more supplies. I'm afraid this plague of locusts will be quite long..."

He directly threw the Qingshen Baoding and sent it into Hongxiu's hands.There are sacred wood cones stored in it, which can be connected with the Gu wood world.

"Yes, leader." Hongxiu smiled sweetly and put away Baoding.

Blood God Son looked in the direction of Akasaka Palace.

If the plague of locusts crosses the border, he will also arrange for the disciples of Chixiao Palace to enter the world, kill the locusts, protect the victims of the secular world, and take refuge in Shiling City. This is not a flood of kindness.

But for practice.

On that day, Cao Cuo saw the Tao with a clear heart, and realized that his own great power lies in gathering people.It is to condense infinitely weak forces into a mighty force that is hard to resist.

Seeing myself, this weak force points to all the symbiotic green locusts.They have also turned into the sea of ​​smoke and stars in the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows of the main body, helping him practice the power of the sky crystal.

Seeing the world, this kind of weak power points to the unity of heaven and man, using the pure magic power of one's own small world to resonate with the majestic vitality of the outside world, arousing the atmosphere between heaven and earth, and turning it into use.

Seeing all living beings, this weak power points to all living beings, or it is the gathering force of all living beings.The power of Tianjing's thoughts became more and more profound, and Cao Cuo sensed the magic of morality and power.Both of them can gather a kind of mind and wish power, which can be gathered into an invisible force.

This invisible force acts on his body, and it also has a great blessing effect on his practice.This peculiar "momentum" may be the embryonic form of a kind of social dragon spirit.

He set up the Akasaka Palace to inherit the orthodoxy, and he also planned to rescue the victims and send them to the Gu Wood World for resettlement, all in order to cultivate this "potential", explore the mystery in it, and help practice.

……

Akasaka Palace was established for the third year.

There were twelve knot locusts raiding Xijian Gorge, the barrier formed by the He family was broken, and many casual cultivators suffered heavy casualties.The two alchemy masters of the He family, He Zhuyu and He Feihu, only escaped with their own lives.

On Xiliuyuan, the plague of locusts began to spread in an all-round way, and a large number of farms were destroyed. Even Hejiazhuang was not spared.

A large number of refugees who fled from the disaster began to migrate northward, and the quarry field bordering Xiliuyuan bore the brunt, with tens of thousands of people pouring in.

In Honglianfang City, many monks heard that the locusts broke through the Tiejian Gorge, Xiliuyuan had also fallen, and the locust plague was also spreading, and they all began to frantically buy Huangya rice and other various resources.

Xiliu was originally the largest grain-producing area in Nanyi, and the yellow-bud rice here has been completely harvested, and a large number of monks cannot do without it. The skyrocketing price of grain has become an inevitable trend.

Honglian Pavilion also took this opportunity to sell a large amount of yellow bud rice during the peak period of food prices, earning a lot of quick money.He also cooperated with many grain merchants in Honglianfang City to report the reserves of Huangya rice, and formed two caravans to go to Bishui Township and Wangyue Township further north to purchase Lingmi grains.

Two consecutive moves, two-pronged approach, instantly suppressed the soaring grain prices, and stabilized the grain market and people's hearts in Honglianfang City.

Of course, there are also many profiteers who manipulate food prices secretly, and they also suffer heavy losses and are heavily in debt.Some profiteers "Lao Lai" who planned to abscond were retaliated by their creditors as soon as they left the market.

Master Di of Chixiao Palace began to arrange for his disciples to enter the world, slay demons and eliminate disasters, protect the lives of one party, and welcome the victims to live in Shiling City, earning a lot of prestige.

As a result, Di Rong's reputation began to completely reverse.No matter in the secular world or in Honglianfang City, the real Chi Xiao is famous and "highly respected".

Even the original storybooks of the market have begun to change their appearance, adding a lot of advocacy stories, and beautifying the original stories such as "robbing houses", "Hengjiang bandit" and many other stories...

Tens of thousands of disaster victims poured into Shiling City, and the population in the city increased rapidly, making this majestic city overwhelmed and overcrowded.

Ouyang Zhen, the lord of Shiling City, ordered to use work as relief, recruit victims and artisans, and build a new acropolis on the left and right sides of the city to accommodate the growing population.

During the construction of the Acropolis, the Stone Sect headed by Lu Qian selected young and strong men and women among the victims, and secretly transported them to the Gu Wood World, where they were incorporated into the stronghold of the Ancient City.

Nearly [-] secular young and strong laborers poured into the ancient city, allowing the city to build and develop rapidly.With the Blood Transformation Formation separating the inside and outside, the mundane young and old can survive in the barrier.

A large number of common crops have also begun to be planted in the enchantment of the gods. Nine out of ten of the harvesters have survived, and there have been mutations, and the varieties are better.

Lu Yunfei was amazed, you know, he tried planting nearly a hundred acres of spiritual plants, but none of them survived. He didn't expect that ordinary crops without spiritual plants could adapt to the environment here...

……

On Xiliuyuan.

After the twelve Dandan green locusts captured the entire Xiliuyuan, they did not immediately lead the locust disaster cloud to the north, but hovered over this place all the time.

The entire Xiliuyuan is almost a thousand miles away, with sparse vegetation, and many monks in the farm have already evacuated.But the vitality here has not been cut off. There are still nearly a million secular mortals here. It is difficult to leave their homeland, or it is too late to escape...

A sect calling itself the Locust God Sect took this opportunity to quickly spread its beliefs in the secular world.

The state of Jin had a strict order prohibiting the spread of all obscene temples and cults, so the "immortal Buddha" that the people believed in could only be the "immortal cultivators" ruled by the imperial court of the state of Jin. In other words, the greatest belief is "the state of Jin" This is a country of cultivating immortals.

However, as soon as Xiliuyuan fell, all the cultivators withdrew and abandoned the mortals on Xiliuyuan.The "faith" of nearly a million secular mortals began to collapse, and the Locust God Sect took advantage of the emptiness to enter, and began to set up statues and temples to spread faith...

……

In an abandoned farm, many believers of the Locust God Sect have built a brand new temple.

This temple is made of wood, stone and jade in the farm, which looks magnificent and solemn.

In the middle of the temple, there is a huge wooden locust with six wings on its back, painted in blue gold, and two long tentacles like two magic whips. Its face is hideous and terrifying, and its mouthparts are wide open. There was fear in his heart, but there was a strange majesty.

A middle-aged man in green robe stood beside the temple. He claimed to be the envoy of the Locust Sect.

Qingpao Miaozhu glanced at the hungry people gathered from all directions, they were all skinny young and strong, there were at least [-] people prostrated around the temple together.

"Everyone!" Miaozhu's loud voice reached the ears of every hungry person, "The heaven and the earth are in chaos, the gods are born, and the locust god is born. Only by worshiping piously can we escape the sea of ​​suffering, stay away from hunger, and be free from disasters and diseases! "
