Chapter 1423 Food Crisis!

According to Qi Zhongdao, the current flooded area where Ziji Sword Sect is located is not too serious.

After all, ordinary floods happened every year in the Daqian Dynasty and were commonplace.

The disaster victims in front of them alone are not enough to make the imperial court and the comprehension world at a loss.

The real trouble is along the southeast coast, where the foehn is raging.

This time the Foehn passed through, affecting seventy prefectures in three prefectures, nine counties, destroying countless villages, towns and counties. There are hundreds of times more victims in sight!

The disaster victims themselves are not a problem, and they do not pose much threat to the practitioners.

The problem is that the victims are poorly clothed, hungry, and lack of medical care and medicine. Many people were burned by the Foehn, and they were in a dying state, and they were soaked in dirty water.

Death is also divided into good death and bad death.

If one dies without any illness, and the spirit is relatively stable, it will easily disappear and reach bliss early.

If in the foehn and the flood, starving for several days, or starving to death, or eating too much bark and grass roots to death, or being burned by the foehn, the unbearable wounds rotted to death, and the death is terrible, the soul contains With strong hostility and hatred, and then used by Bailian's old mother Wan Mingzhu and others, it is very easy to turn into a vicious spirit and threaten the rule of practitioners.

According to previous experience, after the catastrophe, there will be a plague, and in the plague, there will be ghost soldiers and ghosts rampant. A little will-o'-the-wisp, like blossoming white lotuses, will spread all over the land in the southeast at a lightning speed. bloom!

"In the Dongning Mansion area, a mighty army of ghosts and ghosts have appeared, with white lotus ghost fires on their heads. Even in the clear sky and bright days, they dare to appear on the official roads, trying to cut off the communication between Dongning Mansion and the outside world, and assassinate all of them. The scouts and monks flying out from Dongning Mansion are obviously preparing for the ghost army to attack the city!"

"The dozens of towns in the south of Dongning Mansion were the most severely affected places when Foehn passed through. Countless people were killed or injured. It's because they didn't find half a strand of remnant souls, obviously, all the remnants were taken away by Bailian's old mother, Wan Mingzhu, and refined into ghost soldiers!"

"This time the white lotus ghost soldiers attacked in a large scale, and they happened to collide with the Foehn and the flood. The force is not trivial, and it is very likely that it will affect the entire southeast!"

"The southeast area of ​​Dagan is the most important spiritual rice and spiritual wheat producing area in the cultivation world, which supplies almost half of the jade crystals in the cultivation world."

"Originally, there was still a large piece of fertile land in the northeast area, which could be developed into a spiritual field for thousands of miles, but now the traffic arteries leading to various places in the northeast have been cut off by Youyun Guiqin's dragon wolf cavalry, and it is impossible to develop it on a large scale for a while. , the far water cannot quench the near thirst!"

"There is absolutely no room for loss in the southeast. If the white lotus ghost army tramples all the spiritual fields, next year the price of spiritual rice and spiritual grains in the entire cultivation world will skyrocket. Even among the cultivators, there will be famine. Between factions, the scene of you fighting over each other and killing each other will definitely intensify, and all the rules of the cultivation world will be wiped out!"

With a dark face, Qi Zhongdao explained why he traveled thousands of miles here to fight against danger and rescue disasters, and to eradicate the White Lotus Sect.

Qi Zhongdao is not a compassionate eminent monk like Master Kuchan. His actions are all based on the interests of the cultivation world.

Even if tens of thousands of disaster victims died, he would not blink an eyelid, but these disaster victims are very likely to turn into evil spirits after death, destroying the southeast spiritual field under the command of old mother Bailian, this is absolutely unbearable for him!

There are tens of thousands of cultivation supernatural powers in the ancient holy world, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, but there is one most basic cultivation law, which is the source of all laws, an undeniable truth that is universally applicable.

As the saying goes, "people are iron, food is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry"!

Cultivators have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. The speed of cells, nerves and muscle bundles is ten times or a hundred times higher than that of ordinary people. I starved to death.

Relying on ordinary grain and pork, beef, and mutton alone not only requires a lot of food, and it may not be enough to eat a hundred or eighty catties, but at most their realm can be maintained at the current state, and they will not fall.

If you want to go one step further, you have to eat the flesh and blood of spirit beasts and monsters that contain a lot of spiritual energy, or spiritual rice and grains such as "Jade Jingzi".

Spiritual beasts and monsters must be obtained by hunting. Low-level monks are not blessed to enjoy them every day. Only the spiritual rice and spiritual wheat grown in the spiritual fields are not only the foundation of cultivators' cultivation, but also the reason why a cultivating sect can exist. Foundation!

The southeast occupies half of the spiritual fields in the world, and it still contains the most abundant spiritual energy and the best quality half.

If the southeast Lingtian is destroyed by the ghost army of Bailian, there will be a "food crisis" in the comprehension world when it doesn't need to be harvested next year, but in the second half of the year!

Qi Zhongdao unfolded a roll of Dagan mountains and rivers drawn in sheepskin.

Paths of mysterious light emerged faintly, forming a sand table with unevenness, mountains, rivers and towns in it.

He pointed at the sand table: "Now the imperial court's 'five battalions' are rushing to the southeast in the starry night, but fellow Taoists know that most of the imperial court's soldiers and horses are composed of ordinary people. It is difficult to move an inch, and it will take at least ten days and a half months for them to arrive in the area of ​​Dongning Mansion in a muddy way!

In these ten days and a half months, we will depend on us cultivators to stabilize the situation!

There are three tasks for us. One is to stabilize the victims, preventing them from freezing and starving to death, and turning them into unjust souls full of hostility and hatred; Third, if there is a chance, find Bailian's old mother, Wan Mingzhu, and kill this "mother of all ghosts in the world"! "

"Amitabha, goodness, goodness, thanks to the help of all the benefactors, the people in the southeast area finally have a chance to save their lives. All the benefactors, the merits are immeasurable!"

After hearing the news, Master Kuchan came to salute Qi Zhongdao deeply, "But I don't know, where will the food come from for so many displaced people in the next ten days and a half months?"

Qi Zhongdao struck heavily with his big hand: "Taixuan Dao, Ziji Sword Sect, Fenglei Valley, Feiling Island, Jinjiazong and Yushouzhai, plus all major sects in the world, have all allocated a large amount of emergency food and grass. Within a few days, It will be shipped here!"

This was the first time Li Yao had heard that Ziji Sword Sect had sent a large amount of food to the disaster area. After being slightly taken aback, he had a subtle liking for these cultivating sects.

No matter what the purpose of these cultivating sects is, it is indeed a matter of great merit that they can save a large number of victims by taking out precious food to support the disaster area.

Li Yao couldn't help but glanced at Dan Fengzi, the head of Ziji Sword Sect.

However, Dan Fengzi's expression that seemed to be a smile was not a smile was a bit strange.

Sensing Li Yao's gaze, he touched his nose and turned his face away.

Master Kuchan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what should the disaster victims eat in a few days?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Zhongdao's face became even more gloomy, his cheeks twitched, and he said coldly: "Then we have to let the local sects in the southeast come up with food. This is a matter in the southeast, how can we Why is it that the foreign sects are doing their best to worry about it, while the local sects are watching with indifference?"

After listening to Qi Zhongdao's explanation, Li Yao realized that not all places suffered catastrophe during the Foehn and flood disasters, but there were still some paradises.

That is where the mountain gate of the local sect in the southeast lies.

Needless to say, Dongning Mansion is a glorious city that gathers dozens of sects.

Even the sects distributed in the local area, the mountain gates are often built on the mountain, with a majestic momentum, high walls and deep pits, as solid as gold.

There are defensive talisman formations and various phantom formations and restrictions all around, no matter floods, foehn or other natural disasters, it is extremely difficult to invade them.

Even if it is going to be destroyed, the mountain gate of the practice sect is often the last local stronghold to be destroyed.

Therefore, when a natural disaster strikes, most cultivators will harvest the spiritual rice in advance, store a large amount of supplies, flee into the mountain gate, build a village for self-defense, and chain fortresses, and wait for the natural disaster to pass before coming out for activities.

When the middle and lower reaches of the Wujiang River became a water town and the southeast coast was devastated, the mountain gates of the practice sects became isolated islands storing a large amount of resources.

However, it is not easy to open these isolated islands.

"Three hundred and fifty miles away from here is the mountain gate of the 'Tiger Roaring Hall'!"

Qi Zhongdao pointed to the edge of a very high mountain range in the southeast area on the map of Shanhe Sheji, "Hu Xiaotang is a famous sect in the southeast, and two-thirds of the spiritual fields in the entire 'Xijiang Prefecture' belong to tigers." All of Xiaotang, Huxiaotang started with these spiritual fields, monopolized the shipping on the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, and accumulated a lot of wealth. It took a full 20 years to hollow out half of the "Tianhu Mountain" and build this tiger crouching dragon plate The 'Tiger Roaring City'!

The Tiger Roaring City is built on the hillside, and it is very magnificent. On the day of the construction of the city, a large-scale "Seven Absolute Tiger Fiendish Array" was buried in the ground, and more than a hundred "Hunyuan Tiger Crouching Cannons" were cast in various places. And the 'Fire Crow Battle Crossbow', it is simply an invulnerable steel battle fortress!

Huxiaotang owns two Nascent Souls and ten golden elixirs. Under the name of "Two Tigers and Ten Bulls", it dominates Xijiang Prefecture and runs rampant in the southeast!

After hearing the news that the Foehn and the flood were coming, they looted all their supplies, escaped into the Tiger Roaring City, and stayed behind closed doors!

Because the Tiger Roaring City is the highest place within hundreds of miles, it has not suffered any damage from natural disasters. Now there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims clustered under the Tiger Roaring City, and millions of disaster victims are going to the Tiger Roaring City continuously. Xiaocheng fled, if the gate of Huxiaotang continued to be closed tightly, no one was let in, and half a grain of grain was not let out, there would be chaos soon! "
