A reaction came quickly from under the eaves. Gao Haoguang flipped down and found three people kneeling on the ground, curled up and clutching their stomachs in agony. The food on the table and the chairs beside them were all overturned on the floor, a complete mess.
However, what caught Gao Haoguang's attention was not the chaos, but a shrine properly placed in the side room, whose names of the gods and immortals were exactly the same as those on the memorial tablets in the small temple.
"why?"
"You wicked people can be blessed by gods and immortals?"
Gao Haoguang grabbed Old Master Bai and demanded, "What exactly are you worshipping?"
"Where did these robbers come from, daring to cause trouble at the Bai residence? Aren't you going out to find out what's going on... Ouch!" The excruciating pain in his abdomen prevented Master Bai from finishing his harsh words.
"I advise you to answer my questions honestly, or I'm going to stuff potatoes into your mouth. By the way, your stomach aches are because you ate my beans." Gao Haoguang took out a colorful object.
"Yes, it was you who did it!"
"I'm going to stuff it in."
"No, I'll tell you... I'll tell you... It's a fox spirit! The Bai family ancestors received her blessings and started in Black Mountain Village. They have weathered all kinds of chaotic and prosperous times and have continued to this day, becoming a thousand-year-old family."
"You clearly had an incredible opportunity, but instead you chose to oppress the good and kind. Does that mean this deity is aiding and abetting evil?"
"This is what the people of the Black Mountain area owe us!"
"What debt of gratitude has been owed for over a thousand years?" Gao Haoguang stared at the incense-filled altar, seemingly aware of the "Potato God's" second purpose.
No, there is no such thing as a "god of potatoes".
What Gao Haoguang needs to do now is to reclaim the Bai family's fortune.
Chapter 302 Doctor of Agriculture
Gao Haoguang had heard of a legend from Northeast China: when immortals and humans establish a cooperative relationship, and the humans betray morality and righteousness, the immortals and gods will terminate the cooperation and punish them by extracting their blessings and fortune.
"Damn it, I was blinded by joy. I should have realized there was no such thing as a 'Potato God'."
"I'll take this back."
Gao Haoguang released his grip, took the memorial tablet amidst the swirling incense smoke, and glanced at the Bai family members who had collapsed in agony.
Today's events, though disguised as banditry and robbery, could be easily concealed, but those whose fate is nearing its end will suffer a far more tragic and miserable fate.
"Good luck to you," Gao Haoguang said.
But what should we do next?
If one Bai family is gone, another "Bai family" will immediately appear in the Black Mountain region. Even if the flow of life can be corrected, can the grain produced really feed these poor people?
Twelve-year-old Gao Haoguang was a little confused, but he still returned to the farmland and spent nearly a month taking control of the execution ground.
Upon returning to the Dharma Palace, Gao Haoguang stepped over the threshold and heard Miao Qingqing cry out, "Heavens above and Earth below, Haoguang, where have you been for the past month? Your senior sister thought you'd been carried off by wolves!"
"Senior sister, the wolf can't beat me."
"It's good that you're back. I'll go prepare some food for you."
"Thank you, senior sister."
Gao Haoguang walked straight into the east room, took out the memorial tablet from his arms, and placed it on the altar.
"Immortal Lord, your things have been retrieved."
"How are you feeling?" A voice came from the incense smoke.
"To be honest, I'm a little confused."
Moreover, it's not just one or two things that leave me confused.
Gao Haoguang took out the Three True Moon Token and placed it in front of the memorial tablet, saying, "Master has always said that I have a connection with the Three True Moon Token. This magic weapon has indeed shown abnormalities a few times, but recently it has calmed down."
"I'm starting to doubt whether I'm truly carrying the great vow of the Three Truths lineage."
"Secondly, I thought that growing good crops would solve the problem of poor harvests and widespread famine, and that we could find the key to the future through science and technology. But now it seems that even in a bumper year, the grain will not fill the farmers' rice bins."
"Learning to farm won't change the current situation."
The smoke from the incense changed shape, and a person emerged from it, exactly like the "God of Potatoes" that Gao Haoguang had seen that night.
“I interrupted your mission halfway through. Without that overwhelming hatred for the Dharma Corpse, the opportunity to light up the Three True Ones Moon Order would not have arisen.”
"Don't think about it, don't feel guilty. There is no predetermined destiny in this world. At least from the moment I intervened, the future has already changed."
Chen Ruoan hadn't looked back on the past for a long time.
Those changes had a positive side, but they also deviated from the intended course.
"Regarding what you're struggling with, whether it's turning around the current predicament or pursuing your ideal of cultivating food production, both have equally profound significance."
Follow the passion and desire in your heart, choose something you are willing to devote all your energy to, and gradually fulfill yourself in it. If you can specialize in one area and achieve something uniquely your own in this life, then you have not lived in vain.
"Yes." Gao Haoguang nodded thoughtfully.
It didn't take long for the boy to make his decision.
The fox's dream unfolds again, and he sees Gao Haoguang's future.
Over the next few years, Haoguang traveled to many places, but mostly maintained a certain routine.
During the day, he was rooted in the fields, recording the soil fertility, the patterns of rice and wheat diseases and pests, and the reasons for reduced yields due to drought and flood, accumulating a thick book of local farming records.
At night, he would use an oil lamp to copy rare Japanese agricultural translations, comparing sentence by sentence the differences between Chinese and foreign farming practices.
With solid foundational knowledge, he successfully entered the modern agricultural school, Jiangnan Higher Agricultural School, where he was able to systematically study modern professional knowledge.
After completing his studies, he had the opportunity to study abroad and eventually returned to the College of Agriculture at National Central University as a doctoral student, where he achieved remarkable success in the field of potato seed.
"Even at the very end, can't you forget your potatoes?"
"They really haven't forgotten their original aspirations."
Chen Ruoan gently closed the door, and the scene displayed by the Dream Fruit slowly condensed, eventually disappearing into the clouds and smoke.
When the fox opened its eyes again, it was 636 AD. Several new faces appeared among the wandering souls in the netherworld of Mount Tai. Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao arrived as promised and stood in the center of the main hall.
"Which of you committed suicide for love?" the fox quipped.
According to the original plot, Shangguan Xiao was left with hidden injuries in the battle of cause and effect, and left Zhao Yan earlier. However, due to the interference of the fox, the zombie horde caused by the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries was not much stronger than a dung ball, and Shangguan Xiao's fate was avoided.
"We didn't, we just happened to die on the same day," Zhao Yan said a little embarrassedly. After all, such a thing would certainly seem romantic to outsiders.
"Someone, rebirth Zhao Yan as a penguin and Shangguan Xiao as a polar bear."
"Wait, wait! Lord, everything I said is true, I didn't mean to show off," Zhao Yan said hurriedly.
Just kidding.
"Hehe~" Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao chuckled awkwardly, "Lord Prefect is so witty..."
"Then you guys can keep an eye out for wandering souls who died because of love, plus some reincarnation and continuation services." Chen Ruoan tossed a booklet downstairs.
"I am the Lord of the Underworld, why do I feel like I've taken over the duties of the Old Man of the Moon?"
"May I ask, Your Excellency, what exactly is this Old Man of the Moon?"
Ok?
Has the concept of the Old Man Under the Moon not been invented yet?
"It's not important, you can go."
"Yes."
After the two took their leave, a familiar figure plunged into the Netherworld. Jiang Mingzi, who had become the strongest in the world, was bored and came to the Netherworld to find some fun.
"Boring, truly boring."
With the scarcity of Dharma corpses and the delayed occurrence of major karmic events, there's little interesting thing to do.
To use a fox as an analogy, Jiang Mingzi is like a player who becomes the top player in the entire server at the end of the game, only to find that all the monsters and players are almost extinct.
There was absolutely no gaming experience.
“According to the divination, there should be a cause and effect that will happen this year, so why is there no sign of it?” Jiang Mingzi shook his head and said.
"Nothing is happening domestically."
"What about abroad?"
"What's it to me?"
“Then there’s something to look forward to.” Jiang Mingzi smiled. Given Wan Ye’s tendency to do everything in his power to survive, it’s impossible that he didn’t have a plan outside the old fox’s sphere of influence.
Chen Ruoan thought for a moment about the time and replied, "Go southeast and keep going until you see a battlefield. If you intervene there, it will cause a huge fluctuation in causality."
In the Middle East, Arab armies defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, ending more than 700 years of Byzantine rule over Syria and laying the foundation for the expansion of the Arab Empire.
"I understand. Thank you to the Xuan Tian Emperor who wields his sword to subdue evil and guards the Northern Star, the Tai Shan Lord who examines good and evil and governs the Netherworld, and the Eastern Peak Emperor who is the master of the Five Sacred Mountains and oversees all spirits!" Jiang Mingzi raised his hand and cheered.
"Hmph, the older they get, the more shameless they become. They're really not cute."
Chapter 303 Let's Fight the Old Fox
In the Yamuk Valley, the yellow sand swirled with the smell of rust, and the ravines were filled with broken spears and tattered armor.
The crescent flags of the Arab cavalry fluttered in the fierce wind, their scimitars pointed diagonally to the sky, and 30,000 believers shouted in unison, "Allahu Akbar is the greatest," their voices echoing through the valley.
The golden dragon banner of the Eastern Roman commander was teetering on the brink of collapse, the phalanx of armored infantry crumbled among the sand dunes, the charge of heavy cavalry was hampered by the ravines, the sandstorm blinded the Byzantine soldiers, and the crisp sound of scimitars slicing through armor was intertwined with cries of agony.
"Fighting outside isn't necessarily that interesting."
Jiang Mingzi stood tall in the wind, holding his sword and watching.
The results are clear.
The Byzantine left wing collapsed first, its retreat cut off by cavalry, and it was forced to retreat to the cliffs of the Yarmouk River.
Some soldiers fell into the deep valley and were smashed to pieces, or were swept away by the river, their blood staining the murky surface of the river.
"Those who should win, I will make you lose; those who should lose, I will make you win."
Swish!
The Three True Immortals Sword fell!
A streak of blue-white sword light, stretching for hundreds of miles, pierced through the clouds of the easternmost point and crashed into the center of the battlefield.
