Chapter 452 The Origin of Locusts

"This underground space doesn't just grow one type of crop. There are both wet and dry rice, but they take too long to mature. So most of the crops are the easy-to-grow barley!"

Wang Yanyu had never eaten 'xiaoerke' before, but due to the recent food shortage, she also learned about this food that grows easily in the wild.

This food is a kind of grass, and actually looks no different from barley.

The key is that this thing matures very quickly, often producing clusters of ears in just over a month.

The grains of barley from children's barley are small, black and hard. Even if they are ground into powder and made into barley cakes, they are still difficult to swallow.

The rice produced in Kitano County has never failed, and the land is all top-quality farmland.

Therefore, before the locusts, no one in Beiye County had ever planted "Xiaoer Ke". But now it is a disaster year, who cares about the taste and nutrition?

"I remember that this kind of barley only grows in spring and summer, so it can't be planted in autumn and winter, right?"

Wang Yanyu passed by a man transporting grain and picked up an ear of grain.

She found that the grains on the ears were fuller than those seen in the wild, and were almost the same size as real grains.

This is probably due to the meticulous care, or maybe it's due to Tian Lin's unique Taoist magic?

"Miss Yu'er said that her master will change the seasons. Barley is only for emergency use, so we still have to plant rice ears."

With this endless field of barley, the survival pressure of the people in Kitano County can indeed be greatly alleviated.

During this period, the living space for people on the ground was extremely poor, and their lives were not as good as those working underground.

Although the people in the underground space were doing farm work, they were always guaranteed one or two meals a day. Although they were not full at both meals, they would not starve to death like the people on the ground because of lack of food.

"Let the cultivators of the Su family take all the grains out, and then transport the pork, mutton and other meats bought from the Beast Taming Sect to this underground space. I want to reward the people here."

As soon as she said this, the great elder who came with her said, "Those are offerings to the God of Summer. How can you kill them and give them to the common people to eat?"

Wang Yanyu said: "The Spring Festival wasted a lot of money, but Ju Mang took the money and refused to do anything. I guess Zhu Rong is the same -

Moreover, we can now cultivate our own land again. This is all thanks to the efforts of the people and the help of Brother Tian!

I don’t know about other places, but even if the people of Beiye County have to pay tribute, they should pay tribute to Tianlin, not to that ancient god that no one has ever seen! "

Now most of the food problems have been solved!

With so much food, Wang Yanyu can control the entire Beiye County.

Although those Jindan monks have no shortage of food, it is impossible for them to work for her just for a little bit of food.

But who can not appreciate the kindness of getting free food?

As for those who are building the foundation, refining Qi, and even ordinary people, as long as they have food, they are the boss!

Wang Yanyu wanted to use food to gather these people first, and then slowly win them over. After the disaster, these people would get used to her rule.

"Okay, it's up to you. But if Zhu Rong punishes you someday, my Su family won't take the blame for it!"

Tian Lin doesn’t know what Zhu Rong looks like!
Even the stone statues of Zhurong in different regions are sculpted very differently.

But at this moment, Tian Lin felt that he was no different from Zhu Rong.

The 'sun' shines on the 'earth' according to his will, and the solar terms also change at any time according to his will.

He cannot create plants directly, but he can use the solar terms to make them grow.

He cannot control time, but he can use the solar terms to accelerate the growth and decline of plants.

"Next, it's Grain in Ear!" Tian Lin had an idea and started to practice the Grain in Ear method.

In the countryside, there seemed to be the calls of shrikes and the dancing of mantises, which was no different from the real summer grain in ear season.

"Senior Brother Tian!"

While he was patrolling the underground space in mid-air, a voice sounded from far behind Tian Lin.

After seeing that the person coming was Wang Yanyu, Tian Lin was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Congratulations, Senior Sister Wang, it seems that it has been less than half a year, right? Senior Sister Wang has now reached the middle stage of the Golden Core."

To reach the middle stage of Golden Elixir, at least five Dao Seeds are needed.

This means that Wang Yanyu cultivated three or four Dao seeds in a short period of time.

Such a speed of cultivation is truly amazing for a woman who cannot rely on a sect and has been entangled in worldly affairs for a long time.

"To be honest, this is all thanks to Master Kong Wufa's help. If it weren't for Master Kong Wufa's guidance, I wouldn't be able to practice so fast."

She said this modestly and then took out a piece of letter from her sleeve.

The name of the writer was not written on the envelope. When Tian Lin was puzzled, Wang Yanyu said, "This is a letter from Elder Xue of the Daoist Sect. I asked him to pass it on to you. Maybe he is interested in Senior Brother Tian's solar terms?"

In fact, although Tian Lin was doing very well in Beiye County, he did not attract the attention of the sect or other Nascent Soul elders.

Although locusts are scary, that is only for ordinary people.

For cultivators, as long as it is not a disaster like the one during the Great Qi Dynasty, as long as there is spiritual energy and spiritual beasts in the world, there is no possibility of starving to death, let alone the end of the world.

"It's about Yundinggong."

In front of Wang Yanyu, Tian Lin glanced at the contents of the letter.

Hearing that Tian Lin was not going to go back, Wang Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Kitano County now needs Tian Lin, and she also needs Tian Lin's help.

If Tian Lin evacuates, this underground space will be abandoned and all previous efforts will be wasted.

But when she heard the news about Yunding Gong, Wang Yanyu became interested again.

"I've always known that Senior Brother Tian was asking about Ran Lang. But I don't know why Senior Brother Tian was asking about Ran Lang?"

Tian Lin said: "Mr. Yunding experienced the end of the Great Qi Dynasty, so I would like to seek his advice on this locust incident."

Wang Yanyu asked: "What did Ran Lang say?"

"Mr. Yunding said that the troublemakers now are not actually the locusts, but the souls of those who died of starvation during the Great Qi Dynasty. Those starving ghosts could not be reincarnated, and now they have all turned into locusts.

These starving ghosts who died unjustly had no intention of revenge or killing, they just had the obsession of eating crops, so they continued to live in groups. "

Wang Yanyu asked him: "Since Lord Yunding knows the origin of these locusts, is there any way to deal with them?"

"According to Yunding Gong, this requires the reopening of the underworld in the Nine Netherworlds. Only by taking all these dead souls back to the underworld can they stop doing evil in the human world.

The evil spirits in the underworld naturally have ways to deal with these dead souls—"

The land of Nine Netherworlds is the border guarded by powerful gods.

Wang Yanyu had only heard of it before but had never actually been there.

As for the Hades in the Nine Netherworlds, even a powerful god-transformed being could not control it. Perhaps, only immortals could open the Hades?
As if thinking of something, Wang Yanyu asked Tian Lin: "I heard that the destruction of the Fairy Cave of the Goddess Sect was related to Yunding Gong - I wonder if Yunding Gong has become an immortal now?"

Tian Lin looked at Wang Yanyu in surprise, wondering where she had heard this news, which only he and Mei Xiangu knew.
