Chapter 1567 Suyuan

The two followed Mr. Wu out of the square and passed through the carnival crowd. Everyone, whether they were natives or soul warriors, moved out of the way. Many natives even fell to the ground. Even Xiao Xiao was so enthusiastic. Hua was also greedy after seeing it.

After finally passing through the crowd, we reached the back of the square, where we found the gate guarded by a dozen soul warriors and soul beasts.

Seeing Xiao Mao coming, these soul warriors saluted respectfully, and even the soul beasts bowed their heads in submission.

Elder Wu asked a few questions, and after receiving some answers, he nodded, led the way and invited Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao to enter the gate built with giant trees.

Behind the giant wooden gate, there were also some rough wooden houses. Old Wu led the way slowly, and Xiao Hua had already impatiently released the Buddha consciousness. However, he looked at it for a long time and did not see anything special. .

And the old wizard had obviously felt Xiao Hua's position in Xiao Mao's heart, and even noticed something strange about the things Xiao Mao had given him. He turned around from time to time, calling himself elder and saying some casual words.

Xiao Hua also answered indifferently.

After passing through a large area of ​​wooden houses, and meeting soul warriors who were not on patrol, the three of them came to the front of a slope.

"Gah~~" With a sound of bird chirping, a Qingxi Wuyu flew down from high altitude and landed right in front of Xiao Mao. The head like a snake's head now fell down meekly, hanging down to Xiao Mao's feet. In front of him, the tongue also stuck out and licked Xiao Mao's feet!

"This is the old Qingxi Wu Yu!" Xiao Hua suddenly realized, "So this thing is here! This should be the secret of Wu Village."

Sure enough, the old wizard laughed and said, "My lord, this is the old and useless Qing Xi Wu Yu. I will send them to Suyuan and let them guard this place!"

immediately. The old witch waved his hand and took out the bone staff again. The faint green light fell from the center of his eyebrows again. The skeleton on the bone staff caught it, and then. A wave of green light like a sea sprayed out from the skull's mouth and rushed to the dead trees lined up on the hillside in front of him.

Green light frequently emitted from the dead trees, but disappeared within a moment.

However, after the green light, the scene in front of me was no different, and there was no special movement.

Xiao Mao was a little strange. Frowning slightly, Wu Lao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, my Mengshan Soul Array is different from the Dao Zong Array. There is no dazzling brilliance, and there will be no blinding methods. If I were not a member of Mengshan, I would not be able to do anything. You can see the soul array! Of course, my Mengshan Soul Array may not have the earth-shattering power of the Dao Sect's array, but... when it comes to power, it may not be inferior to the Dao Sect's array!"

"Yeah~" Xiao Mao nodded,

Still looking at the slope with some confusion, there were no wooden houses under the slope, and no natives were seen. There is nothing except some sparse dead branches and small trees!

Seeing that Xiao Mao was a little distracted, Wu Lao misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "But your lord, the magical power of my Mengshan soul cultivator is far from... what your lord heard in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation! My great power of Mengshan is not the same as that of the Dao Sect." Monks generally have earth-shaking abilities and..."

"How do you know that I am cultivating the Three Kingdoms?" Xiao Mao turned his head and said coldly.

"This..." The old man Wu was dumbfounded, and after a moment he smiled bitterly, "My lord, please don't ask me about this matter. I have heard some rumors. If I report this to my lord, it will only make my lord... more confused." "

Then, the old Wu pointed his hand at the Qingxi Wuyu at his feet and said: "Just in time, Your Majesty, we will take advantage of this moment for Qingxi Wuyu to enter the Suyuan. Your Majesty will know when he sees the situation in the Suyuan!"

"Okay!" Xiao Mao saw that Mr. Wu insisted on not saying anything. He knew that there must be a lot involved in this matter. Although he was willing to be loyal, he did not dare to get involved too much, so he stopped forcing himself and took on Qingxi Wuyu.

The spirit beast was originally ten feet in size, and its back was spacious. It was more than enough for Xiao Hua and three others to stand on it.

The soul beast let out a clear cry, spread its wings, and leaned down to fly down the slope!

Beyond the slope, there should be the back mountain of Hongdi Village, which is the same as the front mountain. It is very large, and on the edge of the slope, you can still vaguely see the shadows of some wooden houses. They are shadowy under the full moon, like probes. monster.

"Ga~" There were several more clear sounds, and several Qingxi Wuyu also passed by in mid-air, with patrolling soul warriors passing by.

However, after flying nearly a thousand feet, he came to another slope and saw nothing strange. Xiao Mao was a little stunned.

He had released his spiritual thoughts and had been checking carefully. Moreover, under the full moon, the scenes on the slopes and even at the bottom of the valley were clearly visible. Except for some common vegetation in Mimong Mountain, some densely packed trees with a foot-long height could be seen. Apart from the tall stems and even some beetles, he really didn’t know there was anything worthy of beetles coveting here!

And Xiao Hua... was thoughtful.

Qingxi Wuyu flapped his wings and landed on a natural platform on the slope. When the three of them jumped down, Qingxi Wuyu screamed again and rushed into the air.

"My lord, please see..." Now that he has arrived here, Wu Lao no longer hesitates and goes straight to the point, straight to the stems near the platform, and says, "This is the fundamental reason why the beetles want to attack our Hongdi Village! Moreover, this This is also the reason why all the witch villages in Meng Mountain were attacked by beetles!”

"Oh? What...what is this?" Xiao Mao was dumbfounded.

Elder Wu was not surprised. It seemed that it was normal for Xiao Mao not to understand. He squatted down, looked at the stems that were more than a foot long, and sighed: "This is millet! It is the millet that my people in Mengshan eat every day!"

"Su Yuan, this must be Su!" Xiao Mao suddenly realized.

"Yes, this millet... is similar to the rice that the secular people of the Three Kingdoms often eat!" Old Wu nodded, and Xiao Mao also squatted down and looked at the millet carefully.

But millet and rice are very similar in appearance. However, millet grows on the soft soil of Mengshan Mountain and does not need to be planted in paddy fields. Moreover, on the stems more than one foot long, there are three to five stems. Thin branches that look like caterpillars stretch out from the stems, and there are millet grains not much bigger than gravel on the twigs.

Wu Lao looked at Xiao Mao who was squatting opposite, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xiao Hua again. However, Xiao Hua did not come over as he thought, but slowly walked to the edge of the platform, bent down, and looked Look at the millet growing there, and even, after looking at it, walked off the platform again, and then looked to the side.

Elder Wu doesn't care about Xiao Hua's actions. It would be best if Xiao Hua is not around.

"My lord..." Wu Lao whispered, "What can you see?"

"I... what can I see after I take it!" Xiao Mao said truthfully, "I have been abstinent for a long time, and I don't know how many years I haven't tasted worldly food!"

"My Lord, I have achieved great success, and I am very happy in my heart!" The old wizard said with a smile, "The matter must have started fifty or sixty years ago, oh, maybe even earlier, but the specific date of the accident, even if I really can’t say it accurately and clearly!”

"Brother..." Xiao Mao started to explain when he saw Elder Wu, and hurriedly called Xiao Hua.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua raised his voice in the distance: "Let me step aside for a moment, just to take a look at the millet here. This thing... I seem to have seen it before!"

"Oh, okay!" Xiao Mao knew that Xiao Hua would not embarrass him, so he said nothing.

The old man Wu continued: "This millet is the food of my people in Mengshan. It is this millet and our bloodline that distinguish us from people outside Mengshan! Therefore, apart from the bloodline, this millet is our The foundation of Mengshan! Of course, this millet is only as long as Mengshan. Even if someone takes the millet outside to cultivate it, it will not succeed. "

"Ouch...it seems..." At this point, Xiao Mao suddenly realized, "When I was a child..."

"The Lord must have grown up eating millet when he was a child! There is no doubt about this!" Old Wu laughed, "Only when he grew up and practiced the Taoist spells, he stopped eating it. Of course, the Lord does not eat millet. Then I won’t be able to use Mengshan’s witchcraft.”

"Yeah!" Xiao Mao nodded slightly.

"Because of millet's peculiar yet common appearance, although we, the Mengshan people, rely heavily on millet, we have never paid much attention to it! This millet grew all over the mountains and fields a hundred years ago, so we don't need to worry about it at all! And that beetle, There are also many strange Mengshan soul beasts that feed on millet! Even the beetles are even more special. When they grow into grass, they often grow together with millet! Their reproduction and growth are also related to millet! !”

"However, I don't know when it started. The climate in Mengshan has changed. Originally, it rained eight days out of ten, but gradually changed to seven days, six days, and finally it has not rained on a hundred or ten days now. rain!"

"Drought!!" Xiao Mao nodded.

"This is still secondary!" Mr. Wu nodded. "The most important thing is that the grains produced by this millet have been decreasing year by year. Until now...it has gradually stopped producing grains! Even the millet itself is difficult to survive!"

"Ah??? That's it!" Xiao Mao exclaimed, "Then...then what do you eat?"

"After I waited for the elder Wu and Ji Man from each village to find out about this matter, they hurriedly reported it to their superior village. Finally..." At this point, the elder Wu glanced at Xiao Mao intentionally or unintentionally, "Finally, the report was made to the main village of Shebi. , but Shebizhai has always been... a bit chaotic, and they didn't come up with countermeasures in time. By the time I found a countermeasure, it was already too late! "

As the old man spoke, he walked to the valley and said: "Back then, after discussing with Ji Man, I personally went to Xi Country to see the farming of their secular people, and even invited hundreds of people to do it. Come here, an older farmer, and help me. All the millet behind this mountain was sown here by me, following the advice of those farmers, before the millet became extinct outside the village!"

"Well, fortunately, I listened humbly to the suggestions of those farmers and planted millet here. Although it is not enough to ensure the survival of all the people in the village,... after all, at the critical moment, these millet... can still play a certain role. It works!" (To be continued.
