Chapter 1423 Food crisis!
According to Qi Zhongdao, the disaster situation in the area where Ziji Sword Sect is located is not too serious.
After all, ordinary floods occur every year, and are commonplace.
The victims in front of you alone are not enough to make the court and the cultivation world at a loss.
The real trouble is the southeast coastal area where the burning wind raged.
This time, the blaze crossed the border, which affected the three prefectures, nine counties and seventy prefectures, destroyed countless villages, towns and counties, and triggered endless forest fires, burning countless mountains, forests, farmlands and villages. The number of displaced victims was 100 times more than the victims seen in front of you!
The victims themselves are not a problem and do not pose much threat to the cultivators.
The problem is that the victims are not covered in their clothes, do not eat, and lack of medical treatment. Many people are burned by the burning wind and are in a dying state. They are soaked in dirty water, and they are almost dead.
Death is also divided into good death and bad death.
If you die in a state of mind and die in vain and your soul is relatively stable, it will easily disappear and you will reach the Pure Land as soon as possible.
If you are hungry for several days in the burning wind and flood, or starve to death, or eat too much bark and grass roots to death, or be burned by the burning wind, rotting to death, and die terrible death, the soul contains powerful anger and hatred, and then be used by the white lotus mother Wan Mingzhu and others, it will easily turn into a ferocious god and threaten the rule of the cultivator.
According to previous experience, after the disaster, there will be a plague. During the plague, there will be ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers rampant. The ghost fires, like white lotus, will bloom everywhere in the fertile land in the southeast at a speed that is not as fast as possible!
"There has already appeared in the Dongning Mansion area, with white lotus ghost fire above its head. Even when the sky is blue and the sun is bright and the world is bright, they dare to appear on the official road, trying to cut off the traffic between Dongning Mansion and the outside world, assassinate the scouts and monks flying out of Dongning Mansion, obviously preparing for the ghost army to attack the city!"
"The more than a dozen towns south of Dongning Prefecture are the most severely affected places when Burning Feng passed through the border. Countless people were killed and injured. However, when cultivators from nearby sects rushed to investigate, they only saw lifeless corpses on the ground, but no trace of residual souls was found. Obviously, all residual souls were taken away by the old mother of Bailian Wan Mingzhu and refined into ghost soldiers!"
"This time, the White Lotus Ghost Soldiers are coming, and it just happened to collide with the Burning Wind and the flood. Their momentum is extraordinary and it is very likely to affect the entire Southeast!"
"The southeastern area of Dagan is the most important spiritual rice and wheat production area in the cultivation world, and almost half of the jade crystals in the cultivation world."
"Originally, there was a large area of fertile soil in the northeast that could be opened into a ten thousand-mile spiritual field, but now all the major transportation routes to the northeast were cut off by the Dragon Wolf Cavalry of Youyun Gui Qin. It is impossible to develop on a large scale for a while, and it is impossible to quench the near-thirst!"
"The southeast must not be missed. If the White Lotus Ghost Army tramples all the spiritual fields, the price of spiritual rice and spiritual valleys in the entire cultivation world will surely surge next year, and even among the cultivators, there will be famine. The scene of fighting between the various sects and killing each other will become more and more intense, and all the rules of the cultivation world will disappear!"
Qi Zhongdao had a dark face and told him why he had to travel thousands of miles to fight against the danger and rescue disasters and eradicate the principles of the White Lotus Sect.
Qi Zhongdao is not a compassionate monk like Master Kuchan. His actions are based on the interests of the world of cultivation.
Even if thousands of victims died, he would not blink his eyelids, but these victims were most likely to turn into evil spirits after their death and destroy the Southeast Spirit Field under the command of Bailian’s mother. This is something he absolutely cannot bear!
There are thousands of supernatural powers in the ancient sage world, but according to the old sayings, there is a most basic cultivation rule, which is the source of all dharmas, and is applicable to all the worlds and cannot be broken.
As the saying goes, "People are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry and panic."
Cultivators have the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth. The speed of cells, nerves and muscle bundles is ten times or a hundred times higher than that of ordinary people. In order to maintain cell activity, the food they have to swallow every day is astronomical. Otherwise, it is very easy to starve to death.
Relying on ordinary grain and pork, beef and mutton alone, not only does it require a lot of quantity, but eating hundreds or eighty pounds may not be enough, but at most, they will maintain their current state and not fall.
If you want to go further, you have to eat spiritual beasts containing a lot of spiritual energy, monsters, flesh and blood, or spiritual rice such as "Yu Jingzi". The Spirit Valley is not allowed.
Spiritual beasts and monsters are obtained by hunting. Not only are low-level cultivators happy every day, but the only spiritual rice and wheat planted in the spiritual field are not only the basis for cultivators to practice, but also the basis for the existence of a cultivation sect!
The spiritual fields in the world occupy half of the southeast, and the half with the strongest spiritual energy and the best quality are still contained.
If the Southeast Lingtian is destroyed by the hands of the White Lotus Ghost Army, there is no need to be next year. When the youth and the emperor are not in the second half of the year, the cultivation world will have to have a "food crisis"!
Qi Zhongdao unfolds a scroll of Daqian Mountain and River map drawn in sheepskin.
A series of mysterious lights appeared faintly, forming a sand table with uneven mountains, rivers and towns.
He pointed at the sand table: "Now the 'five camps' of the imperial court are rushing to the southeast at night, but all fellow Taoists know that the imperial court's troops are mostly composed of ordinary people. It is impossible to move forward in places where the flood is flooded and the rivers roar. It will take at least ten days and half a month to arrive in the Dongning Prefecture area!
In these ten days and half a month, we cultivators will have to stabilize the situation!
There are three tasks in total. One is to stabilize the victims and prevent them from starving to death, and become a spirit full of hostility and hatred; the other is to protect the spiritual field from being attacked by the ghost soldiers and ghost army; the third is to find the old mother of Bailian Wan Mingzhu and kill this 'mother of ghosts in the world'!"
"Amitabha, good, good, with all donors helping you, the people in the southeast finally have the opportunity to save their lives. Donors, they have great merits!"
Master Kuchan, who rushed over after hearing the news, bowed deeply to Qi Zhongdao, "But I don't know, where will so many displaced victims come from in the next ten days and half a month?"
Qi Zhongdao's hand slashed hard: "Taixuan Dao, Ziji Sword Sect, Fenglei Valley, Feiling Island, Jinjia Sect and Wuzhang Zhai, plus the major sects in the world, allocated a large number of emergency food and grass, and they will be transported here within a few days!"
This was the first time Li Yao heard that the Ziji Sword Sect had supported a large amount of food to the disaster area. He was slightly stunned and added a bit of subtle favor to these cultivation sects.
No matter what the purpose of these sects of cultivation are, they can save a large number of victims by taking out valuable food to support the disaster area. It is indeed a matter of great merit.
Li Yao couldn't help but glance at Dan Fengzi, the head of Ziji Sword Sect.
But I saw Dan Fengzi's expression that looked a little strange.
Feeling Li Yao's gaze, he touched his nose and turned his face over.
Master Kuchan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and asked again: "So what should the victims eat within a few days?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Qi Zhongdao's face became even darker, his cheeks twitched, and he said coldly: "Then I have to let the local sects in the southeast take out the food. This is originally a matter of the southeast. How could we do our best to do our best to watch the local sects?"
After listening to Qi Zhongdao's explanation, Li Yao realized that not all places suffered disasters in the burning wind and floods, but there were still some paradises.
That is where the mountain gate of the local sect in the southeast is located.
Like Dongning Prefecture, there is no need to say that the glorious city with dozens of sects gathered together.
Even the sects distributed in the local area are often built along the mountain, with a majestic momentum, with high walls and deep pits, and solid as if they were rich.
Defensive talisman arrays and various illusion arrays are also covered with all around, and it is extremely difficult to invade whether it is floods, burning wind or other natural disasters.
Even if it is to be destroyed, the mountain gates of the cultivation sect are often the last destroyed stronghold in the area.
Therefore, when natural disasters come, most cultivators will harvest spiritual rice in advance, store a large amount of supplies, escape into the mountain gate, build camps to defend themselves, and have a series of forts. After the natural disasters have passed, they will come out to move.
When the middle and lower reaches of Wujiang became a water town and the southeast coast was devastated, the mountain gates that practiced sects became isolated islands that stored a large amount of resources.
However, it is not easy to open these isolated islands.
"Three hundred and fifty miles away from this place is the gate of the 'Tiger Roar Hall'!"
Qi Zhongdao pointed to the map of mountains, rivers and the country, in the southeast, a very high mountain range edge road. "Tiger Roar Hall is a famous sect in the southeast. Two-thirds of the spiritual fields of the entire "Xijiang Prefecture" belong to Hu Xiaotang. Hu Xiaotang started with these spiritual fields and monopolized the shipping of the downstream Wujiang River, accumulating a lot of wealth. It took a full twenty years to empty half of the "Tianhu Mountain" and build this "Tiger Roar City" with tigers and dragons!
The Tiger Roaring City is built against the mountain, and it is very magnificent. On the day of building the city, a huge "Seven-Secret Tiger Evil Scale Formation" was buried underground, and more than a hundred "Hunyuan Tiger Squat Cannons" and "Fire Crow Battle Crossbow" were cast in key areas. It is simply an invulnerable steel battle fortress!
Hu Xiaotang has two Yuanying and ten golden elixirs. In the name of "Two Tigers and Ten Biaos", it dominated Xijiangzhou and was rampant in the southeast area!
When they learned that the Fenfeng and the Flood were about to arrive, they searched all their supplies and fled into the Tiger Roar City, leaving them closed their doors!
Because Hu Xiao City is the highest place within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it has not been damaged by natural disasters. Now hundreds of thousands of victims are surrounded by Hu Xiao City, and millions of victims are constantly escaping towards Hu Xiao City. If Hu Xiao Hall continues to close the gate, not letting a person in and not letting half a piece of food come out, it will soon be in chaos!"
