Chapter two hundred and thirteenth insect disaster

"Is Taoist priest really okay?"

Seeing that Wu Qi was a little unscrupulous, Xu Shujing said with concern: "The opportunity of the Taoist priest is far greater than that of most cultivators, so there is no need to care about the Guiwang King's Condor. Wudang is one of the five great Taoist sects, and there are not few magic weapons and magical powers in the sect. After all, the Ghost King is a genius of demons and ghosts. Even if there are magical powers left behind, it is not suitable for most cultivators."

Wu Qi came back to his senses and smiled: "What Xu Chanjun said is that I am too worried about gains and losses."

Xu Shujing felt relieved when she saw this: "Master Si Duwei took Cheng Sanyuan to Yizhou with him and would not come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Taoist priest, please wait for two days."

"What happened in Jianzhou?"

"This fall is cold, but now in December, there are few rainfalls and there are too many mosquitoes, which is very abnormal."

Xu Shujing sighed: "What I am worried about is the locust plague entering the country."

"Previously, the left prime minister had personally rushed to the "Rain Prayer Temple" of Wudang Mountain and prayed for sacrifices with the head of Wudang Zhang Weiren. The right prime minister also went to the "Fengyun Altar" of Qingcheng Mountain to ask the head of Ye Jing'an to control the wind and clouds with the art of dragon rushing, just to pray for rain to curb the locusts."

"The Qingqiang Demon General brought the generals in the water to ambush the locust demons in Jianzhou by the farmland and annihilate twenty-eight enemies. Millions of locusts incited by the locust demons were scattered, and the local farmland was preserved."

"Locust plagues often occur in summer and autumn, and have always been inevitable. There are still small groups of locusts flowing in Jiannan Road, and the Huanghuai River Basin is the main raging place."

"Even so, if the locust swarm is not cut off at the beginning and the locusts merge, a large-scale locust plague will be formed, which will cause huge losses to the people and monks."

Wu Qi also read a description of the locust swarm in the book pavilion of Fuyun Temple, saying that "the people are poor and the money is gone, the road is full of hunger, the thieves are flooded, and the corpses are everywhere." It is one of the most severe natural disasters.

But he always felt puzzled.

In the world of Posa, many Confucian scholars in the court can show their supernatural powers and have the blessing of national fortune. The monks of the three religions each have their own magic, so why can't they deal with the flying locusts?

There are often shadows of demons and ghosts behind the locusts, but they are not inseparable.

But in actual situations, dynasties in history have been very passive in the face of locust plagues, and they often suffer heavy losses and are very embarrassed.

Facing Wu Qi's question, Xu Shujing just smiled bitterly: "Master Taoist, the locust plague is not just a group of locusts."

"Their power of the heavenly way is actually a regular disaster for thousands of creatures in the Posa world."

"Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs."

"Everything is supernatural, and everything has disasters."

Xu Shujing said: "Doctors from the Taishi Bureau of the All-Dynasties have used astronomy, calendar, viewing, and missing the inscriptions to estimate the way of heaven. They have come to the same conclusion as the real people of the Three Sects: the more powerful the state and the practitioners are, the more frequent and powerful the heavenly tribulations they bring."

In the eyes of most people, the so-called heavenly tribulation refers specifically to the obstruction of the heavenly path encountered by practitioners in their practice.

However, this is not the case. Ordinary people will also face the heavenly disaster. However, this heavenly disaster is not directed at anyone, but treats thousands of creatures in the world equally.

Because the way of heaven is difficult to predict, there is a definite conclusion to the cause behind the locust plague.

Previously, several dynasties have been clearing out locusts everywhere in an attempt to kill them in the bud.

But locusts still appeared without warning, ravaging large tracts of land, causing the displacement of many people.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that natural disasters will not disappear.

It will only make a comeback again and again, repeating itself like a wave.

The Taoist sect says, "The way of heaven is ruthless and always goes with good people."

This sentence means that God does not distinguish between relatives and alienation, but favors those who are good at following the laws of heaven.

The way of heaven is difficult to change, so it can only follow its way.

"Because the locust plague is the external manifestation of the catastrophe of heaven. If you blindly remove the blockage, it will cause a series of unknown reactions and bring more catastrophes."

Xu Shujing said helplessly: "What can be done at present is to discover it early, control and guide the locust swarm, and finally send it into the sea. There are many demons and ghosts in the sea, and they are not afraid of locusts causing trouble."

Wu Qi thought of a possibility: "In other words, the demons and ghosts who came from the east wind by the locust plague... so it seems more like they follow the way of heaven?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."

Xu Shujing showed a little helplessness on her face: "Natural disasters, or locust plagues, are a huge disaster for most people, but in the eyes of some practitioners, it is an opportunity for them to touch and comprehend the way of heaven. Even if the court and the three religions prohibit and kill, there will still be practitioners who will not be able to help but give it a try."

Wu Qi now has a clearer concept in his mind.

Locust plague is an external manifestation of the way of heaven and is difficult to completely eliminate.

Behind it, it is divided into three groups.

The first group is the victims, and most of this part are ordinary creatures, including the people, demons and even some ghosts.

The second group is disaster relief workers, including the Tang Dynasty court and most monks of the three religions. In the face of locust plague, they take various measures to ensure that the people can save their lives and reduce losses.

The third group is to help disasters. Practitioners take advantage of the opportunity of locust plagues to follow the way of heaven and seek that glimmer of opportunity.

Therefore, locust plague is not only a natural disaster, but also man-made disasters. Since the way of heaven is on the side, you need to be extra careful when dealing with locust plagues to avoid causing other disasters of heaven.

"Xu Chanjun, has the locust plague broke out this year?"

“Not yet.”

Xu Shujing shook her head: "It is currently Hebei and Henan, and the two places are the most serious. The court is leading some locusts to the Shandong waters. The current situation is not optimistic."

Wu Qi's mind suddenly lit up.

If you can deal with the locust swarm, isn’t this a good opportunity to get a lot of incense!

But how to deal with this group of races that have incarnated the Dao of Heaven is not ordinary bugs... It requires caution to simply and roughly strangle them.

He fell into deep thought.

I don’t know if locusts can refine elixirs... If they can refine elixirs, then it’s better to collect these locusts and let the elixirs refine elixirs.

Locust pill?

Unfortunately, if you want to use the alchemy spirit to refine the alchemy, it needs to appear in the world of Sasha. Once it appears, it will be locked by the heavenly tribulation. The premise is that hundreds of years of incense are infused, so that the alchemy spirit can at least survive the first birth disaster.

There is a prerequisite for subsequent attempts.

It's back to the incense issue.

However, Wu Qi has lost all the incense in the Impermanence Picture.

...

When returning to the Floating Cloud View, Wu Qi was warmly welcomed.

Bai Yuxiao and Hong Ling pulled him and asked non-stop, full of interest and curiosity about the battle between Longhu Mountain.

The two senior brothers, Zhao Sheng and Dai Yi, also turned back from the mountain. When they saw the junior brother coming back, they couldn't help but smile, but they were much more restrained than Bai Yuxiao and the others.

Huang Silang from the East Temple also got orders and rushed all the way from the temple to greet the wind.

Elder Yan said, "Since Wu Qi is back, let him cook a table of dishes and receive some wind for him."

Wu Qi's smile froze: "Elder, is this a little bit..."

I cook and welcome myself?

"That's it."

Elder Yan smiled and said, "Everyone is happy today. Wu Qi, don't be polite, just show your hands."

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Wu Qi had to put on an apron.

Fortunately, he now has a Taoist soldier to attack.

Li Mi washes vegetables.

Huang Silang burns firewood to process the meat.

Wu Qi only needs to cut vegetables and put them in the pot, which makes him much easier.

He cut the green onion with a kitchen knife: "Silang, is there any abnormalities in the Dongmiao recently?"

"Return to the Lord, the East Temple is now more incense, and you can get about ten days of cultivation every day. The Nine Thousand Kings are dealing with some demon disputes here, and there is nothing else. It's still very stable around Shu County."

Huang Silang peeled off the vegetables one by one and washed the mud on it with clean water.

"That's good."

Wu Qi suddenly discovered: "Silang, why have you not bitten by insects at all?"

The vegetables washed by Yasha are not mentioned, but the yam, yam (water spinach) and syam (Chinese cabbage) have no traces of being bitten by insects, and the leaves are so beautiful that they are a little unreal.

“These are all grown in Guanli Vegetable Garden.”

Huang Silang said: "I don't know if the young one is young, but Mr. Dai and the flower garden are taken care of together. Mr. Dai must have known it."

Wu Qi wiped his hands on the apron and hurriedly found Dai Yi.

"Did you say this?"

Dai Yi said casually: "Because I saw that the vegetables my junior brother planted had some bugs. Although it has been December recently, there are many mosquitoes. So I used my own medicine powder, mixed it with water, and sprayed some in the vegetable garden, so that the bugs would not come."

Wu Qi's heart was shocked!

Damn it!

Brother, is he creating pesticides?

"Although it is not worth mentioning, it is very useful for insects that bite vegetables, fruits and flowers. The most ferocious locusts, bugs, and mole crickets are afraid to bite them. Vegetables and greasy insects (aphids) are very brave and die after taking the potion. The insects behind them dare not bite them."

Dai Yi smiled and said, "Although my senior brother has no ability, he will still protect his junior brother's vegetable garden."

Wu Qi grabbed Dai Yi's hands with his arms, unable to hide his excitement: "Senior Brother! Your potion... may have saved many lives!"

This unexpected change made Wu Qi temporarily give up looking for the sky statue of the Sun Heavenly Lord.

Incense is important! This is a major opportunity that cannot be missed!
