Chapter 705 Growth is the process of broken dreams
For three days and three nights, Su Yue stood on the side of the field, watching every movement... watching the farmer uncle working on the land.
In fact, let alone this era, even a long time ago in the 22nd century, humans had already used scientific research and technology to overcome the problem of hunger.
Scale, mechanization, and unification!
Not to mention the young people of Su Yue's generation, even those of Yuan Longhan's age knew nothing about farming crops.
Every country on the planet has its own specialized farming department. As long as there is no invasion of wetland aliens, almost any country can achieve subsistence and clothing. There is almost no profession of farmers in this world, and all cultivated land is actually operated by enterprises.
Of course, although Su Yue had not personally participated in farming, he had also learned the whole process of farming in books.
Loose soil, sow seeds, fertilize, weed, and harvest.
This is probably the process. In the agricultural society before the technological era, we still needed to rely on the weather, because the growth of crops required the cooperation of rain and climate.
In the age of science and technology, the rainwater problem has been solved.
In today's era, these things are no longer a problem. In people's hearts, the only major concern is foreign races.
As for food, it has become as natural as air.
Ordinary people do less exercise. What they need to consider is not eating enough, but counting calories and trying not to be obese. In addition to being unsightly, it can also cause some health problems.
Of course, these problems are almost impossible to happen to warriors.
Su Yue watched the old farmer farming with great interest.
For him, this is a special and unfamiliar field after all.
Su Yue even recalled the first time he saw an excavator. At that time, he was actually not a child anymore, but he still had to observe it for two hours after school.
Really motionless.
Just looking at the excavator can make his whole body tingle.
Even when he returned home, the image of the excavator was still in his mind.
For boys, excavators are actually Transformers, a world they can imagine.
Su Yue even naively made a wish that he would become an excavator master in this life.
pity.
Everyone's growth is a process of broken dreams.
The path of a warrior shattered Su Yue's dream as an excavator master.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his innocent state of mind. Watching the old man plowing the ground and sowing seeds smoothly, Su Yue even wanted to swing a hoe.
However, all this is an illusion.
Su Yue could see it, but had no way to contact it.
…
This is not a known plant species on Earth and looks very strange.
Su Yue observed for a day, and the farmer's crops had already received fruits.
It should be that the passage of time is accelerated in the illusion.
What species are these plants? They are so rare.
Su Yue didn't understand.
He recalled the whole process of farming.
initial.
This is a barren soil.
The kind old man loosened the soil and left one pit after another.
Then, he threw all kinds of seeds into the pit and buried them in the soil again.
It seems to be a coincidence that after the old man buried all the seeds, a light rain began in the sky. The soil was moistened by the rainwater, and there was actually a layer of light mist suspended in it.
soon.
Emerald green shoots are growing in the soil.
At this moment, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh sincerely. He didn't even realize that this might be the instinct of the human race. These green shoots represented a kind of vitality.
After that, the green shoots quickly grow into various plants.
Plants of different shapes grow in the small cultivated land. They are all kinds of strange. If you look closely, you will find that there are no two plants that are exactly the same.
As recorded in books, the growth process of these plants is not smooth.
On the roots and vines of the plant, Su Yue saw some black insects eating the roots.
This is a pest.
Logically speaking, it’s time to spray pesticides.
At that time, Su Yue secretly cursed himself for being stupid. There were no pesticides in ancient times.
Su Yue was even worried about the old man.
These pests look very serious, and even one or two plants have been eaten until they wither.
Because time passed so quickly in the illusion, everything was caught off guard.
Su Yue felt that the old man was so pitiful.
After so much hard work, the seeds were finally destroyed by some insects.
Simply abominable.
But the old man was obviously not that ignorant. He found another bigger insect from a basket.
In Su Yue's surprised eyes, the old man sprinkled these big bugs on the plants.
Each plant was assigned a big bug, no more, no less, just one. The old man looked very cautious.
Finally, Su Yue finally understood.
These big bugs turned out to be beneficial insects, helping the old man to eliminate pests.
really.
The big bugs are very powerful. These pests are just like encountering natural enemies and are quickly eliminated.
Just as the big bugs were killing the pests, fruit buds began to appear on the top of the plants. Even standing outside the illusion, Su Yue seemed to be able to smell the smell of a good harvest.
Su Yue nodded.
It's a good harvest.
He felt happy for his old man in his heart.
Soon, fruits of different shapes grew out of the flower bones, various and colorful, and each one exuded a sweet taste.
The old farmer began to smile.
Finally, the first ripe fruit was formed. From a distance, it looked red and dripping with juice.
The old farmer walked over, picked the fruit, and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.
At this time, the old farmer's face became even more relaxed.
Su Yue also took a long breath.
He actually felt nervous during what was originally a very simple farming session.
Su Yue noticed that after the old farmer picked the fruits, the plant that was half a man tall began to wither, and the big bugs on the plant were put back into the basket by the old farmer.
The second fruit is ripe.
This time it is a green fruit, but it looks more attractive than the first red fruit.
Su Yue observed again.
When the farmer was picking fruits, big bugs also lay on the fruits and were picked away by the farmer at the same time. The big bugs seemed to be able to secrete a substance that could make the quality of the fruit better.
The old farmer obviously had no idea of saving grain, and he once again swallowed the fruit in two mouthfuls.
The original plant withered again.
This is normal.
After the melons mature and the stems fall off, those withered vines can only face decay.
A plant can only grow one fruit, which is too rare.
Su Yue witnessed the old farmer picking fruits one after another. Now is the harvest season.
At the same time, Su Yue also observed some strange things.
Some plants seem to be suffering from insufficient rain or lack of nutrients in the soil, so they remain in the state of flower buds, and many plants even do not even produce flower buds.
Some of the most exaggerated plants still retain their original bud appearance, which looks infuriating.
After so much hard work, there is no sign of growing up.
But it was useless for Su Yue to be angry, and the old farmer was indifferent.
He will only look for fruits that are ripe to eat.
Gudong.
Su Yue swallowed.
He was a little thirsty.
…
One day and one night passed.
Su Yue just watched the old farmer eating fruit.
Soon, the old farmer finished all the ripe fruits. His appetite was obviously not full.
He seemed a little hungry and wanted to reclaim some wasteland elsewhere.
But as soon as he walked out of the wasteland, he saw the jackal in the distance.
The old farmer is obviously no match for the jackal. At least he is not strong enough yet. He dare not leave the wasteland, so he can only wait for the fruits to mature.
Fortunately, although some vines grow very slowly, there are still fruits that are still ripening.
Su Yue was also surprised.
Why don't the wolves in the distance come to eat the old farmer?
Could it be that there is something mysterious about this farmland?
But that's not important. Thinking about the era of cultivation at that time, anything that happened was actually normal.
When two-thirds of the plants in the cultivated land had withered, the old farmer took up the hoe again.
This time, the old farmer has to dig out the residue.
A new round of farming has begun.
But the strange thing is that the old farmer did not destroy the young seedlings that had not been harvested for a long time. He seemed to be carefully protecting them.
"The longer these seedlings last, the bigger the fruit they seem to bear."
Su Yue slapped his head.
He finally understood why the old farmer left those seedlings alone.
Because these seedlings are top quality.
As the saying goes, good things take a long time.
Digging, cultivating, sowing, weeding, and harvesting.
One cycle within another, the old farmer ate more fruits and seemed to be much stronger than before.
Su Yue's guess was indeed correct.
Those fruits that took a long time to bear make the old farmer smile every time.
These are indeed excellent products.
…
Unconsciously, Su Yue had been looking at the cultivated land for two days and two nights.
The bear in a hat stood at the foot of the mountain, his face full of worry.
There was no movement at all. Could it be that Su Yue went to sleep in the valley?
Something is wrong.
This is too wrong.
Can Su Yue find a way to break the situation?
Seeing that the day for the decisive battle is getting closer and closer, there are only a few days left.
For the bamboo hat bear, every minute and every second now is torture. It stands at the place where the corpses of its ancestors are, and is being questioned all the time.
Can't wait.
The figure of the bear in a hat flickered, but it still ran out of the valley.
Although it couldn't get in, it could still take a look from a distance. If it didn't see Su Yue, it wouldn't be able to calm down for a second.
Whoosh!
The body of the bear in a hat flickered at an extremely fast speed, leaving a series of afterimages in place.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a layer of transparent ripples blocked the hat bear.
This is a barrier from the valley. It is impossible for demon clans and warriors under the Void Realm to get close to it.
The hat bear doesn't understand the thoughts of the human elders. There is always a feeling in its mind that the human elders look down on the demon clan.
Of course, the hat bear still had to admit that in terms of cunning and cunning, the human race was hundreds of years ahead of the demon race.
Just say recently.
If it weren't for the plot by the resurrected warriors of the Maurya Dynasty, even the realm monster would not have been able to devour the supreme monster so quickly.
Damn it.
Mentioning the Maurya Dynasty makes the bear in a hat itch with hatred.
"What is Su Yue doing? Admiring the scenery?"
Finally, the hat bear saw Su Yue.
Although the outline of his back was a little blurry, it could still be seen from the hat that Su Yue was purely in a daze.
He did not look for opportunities, nor did he perform any rituals.
Just in a daze.
Speaking of which, Su Yue's performance seems to be worse than that of Lei Yezu.
Oops.
It could be really bad.
An unknown premonition welled up in the hat bear's heart.
It felt like it couldn't count on Su Yue.
Another hour or two passed.
The bear in a hat watched Su Yue motionlessly.
But the other party was still like that, looking at the wasteland in the distance with a blank expression, without any expression at all.
The hat bear's heart dropped to the bottom.
…
That's right, Su Yue is still observing the old farmers' farmland.
The Dou Li Bear cannot see all this. In the eyes of the Dou Li Bear, the wasteland is still wasteland, with no trace of cultivation at all.
But the hat bear didn't notice that Su Yue's expression had changed a little at this time.
right.
There was some melancholy in his brows.
I feel sorry for the old farmer.
Because something abnormal happened in the farmland.
Originally, it was a perfect process of plowing roots, loosening soil, sowing seeds, irrigating, using beneficial insects to eliminate insects, and harvesting.
But at this time, one of the beneficial insects had a problem.
Something like a plague has occurred in the farmland.
When the fruit of a plant matures, the beneficial insects will be taken away by the old farmer at the same time.
Originally, beneficial insects were lying on the fruits, which is not surprising. Many times, fruits and beneficial insects are taken away by farmers together.
But this time, when the old farmer took away the fruit, the beneficial insect seemed to have been poisoned, and its body exploded.
It didn't matter that it was easily explosive, as the fragments of flesh and blood from the beneficial insects' bodies also spread throughout the cultivated land.
In this way, all the beneficial insects on the plants are contaminated with the blood of the poisonous beneficial insects.
The infection has begun.
Beneficial insects nearby die first because they are stained with the most blood.
Subsequently, all the beneficial insects in the distance were also exterminated. Although the toxicity was relatively mild, it was still toxic. It was only a matter of time before the beneficial insects died.
The old farmer uncle was worried.
He jumped anxiously, as if he wanted to prevent the spread of this pestilence.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
The reason why Su Yue was moved was precisely because of this.
He thought the old man was a little too pitiful.
Since there are no beneficial insects, pests on the surface of the plants reproduce in large numbers, and the end result is that all the plants are destroyed.
Some plants are obviously about to bear fruit, but due to the death of beneficial insects, the fruits wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire plant ends up being eaten clean by the pests.
These pests are extremely greedy. They don't care whether the plants are healthy or not, they just devour them. Even if the plants disappear, they will die.
disaster!
A vibrant farmland was directly destroyed due to the disease of a beneficial insect.
From front to back, the old farmer was powerless to stop all this.
He watched helplessly as plants fell one after another, and the last plant was eaten clean by pests.
Su Yue could feel the despair of the old farmer.
These pests not only destroy plants, but also completely destroy their corpses and even the soil of cultivated fields.
The old farmer tried to resow the seeds, but he never waited for new seedlings to appear.
Even if some seedlings emerge, they will be eaten away by pests in an instant.
It's over.
Completely finished.
The ecology of this farmland was completely destroyed, with no possibility of recovery.
Su Yue was shocked beyond measure.
Farming is such a risky profession.
The old farmer could clearly crush the insect with one kick, but it ruined everything for the old farmer.
Without beneficial insects, the old farmer is at a disadvantage. Faced with thousands of countless pests, he has absolutely no power to fight back.
However, the worse situation is yet to come.
The old farmer has run out of food.
right.
He needs to eat or he will starve to death.
The arable land was destroyed and he lost his source of food.
Old farmers were forced to leave their farmland.
But in fact it's not that easy. Although Su Yue doesn't know what kind of world this is, the farmers there have no good tradition of helping each other.
The old farmer left not long ago and was soon expelled back.
Maybe it was because there were jackals in the distance, or maybe it was because other farmers were chasing him away.
He was so hungry that he even ate pests, but these pests were poisonous.
Su Yue was so angry that he was shaking all over.
He couldn't believe the final outcome...the old farmer died.
Starved to death.
right.
This is a story full of vitality, but it ends with the saddest ending in the world.
The fertile soil withered and old farmers fell in the fields.
And those pests in the soil died soon after. After all, they are just bugs. Without old farmers to farm, they will lose their food.
it's over.
The sun and moon change, and the years change.
As time went by, the toxins from the pests in the soil became increasingly thin, and the cultivated land returned to what it was like when Su Yue first arrived.
And Su Yue saw the next farmer coming to plow the fields.
This time the farmers are younger than before.
Loose soil, sow seeds, irrigate, use beneficial insects to fight poison, and harvest fruits.
A new cycle begins.
And the picture in front of Su Yue became increasingly blurry, like the curtain call of a movie.
Finally, the illusion in front of him disappeared.
Su Yue looked like he had just arrived in the valley, facing a wasteland.
Nothing.
But Su Yue knew in his heart that this scene, which was like the ending of a tragic movie, was a reminder to break the situation.
Old farmer!
arable land!
Pest!
beneficial insects!
fruit!
What is the metaphor?
What is the situation of the old farmer who appears in the vision?
Su Yue took a deep breath.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up a branch, and began to write and draw.
It must be cracked.
The mystery of this illusion must be deciphered.
Although his mind was in a state of confusion, he could not give up this only opportunity.
Pests?
Pest!
If the wetland is regarded as cultivated land, then the monsters in the wetland are obviously huge pests.
wrong.
There are thousands of pests, but there is obviously only one monster.
No…beneficial insects!
Whoosh!
Su Yue thought for a long time. He was looking at the sky, thinking about what kind of pest the monster was.
But suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to pass through his mind.
beneficial insects!
What if the monster is a beneficial insect?
Boom, boom, boom!
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Su Yue's heart was beating violently, harder than playing a drum, and all the pores in his body were trembling.
He squeezed the wooden stick in his palm so hard that his fist turned white.
Su Yue gritted his teeth.
He seemed to have guessed some mystery.
If the monster is a beneficial insect, then some problems will be solved easily.
Many conjectures have emerged.
…
Outside the valley.
The hat bear saw Su Yue's nervous scene, and his face was also confused?
What happened to him?
Have you discovered any mystery?
Sometimes I sit down, sometimes I look at the sky, and sometimes I write and draw.
Now I'm shaking all over, as if I'm facing the end of the world.
What on earth is Su Yue experiencing?
But no matter what, the hat bear had a hunch that maybe Su Yue was beginning to understand.
It's a good thing.
This is a good thing.
"Su Yue, you must be more confident and find the secret.
"But don't put on this dead face, as if the end of the world is coming."
The hat bear muttered again.
It has never seen Su Yue so desperate.
…
The end of the world is coming.
right.
This moment was indeed Su Yue's most desperate moment.
Because this may really be a doomsday scenario.
He connected all the clues in his mind.
Assuming that the monster is the beneficial insect, what is the meaning of its existence?
Eliminate pests.
Who are the pests?
There is no doubt that they are the group of monsters in the endless jungle, especially the group of monsters at the top level.
Because of the unconditional suppression and unconditional devouring ability of the realm monster.
It is the natural enemy of monsters.
And these monsters do meet several characteristics of pests:
First, you can swallow a lot of spiritual energy and become stronger without practicing.
Secondly, after becoming stronger, they will continue to reproduce offspring and continue to consume a large amount of spiritual energy, almost endlessly.
Su Yue knew some history. If it weren't for the several large-scale devourings of monsters in the history, the number of monsters in the wet realm would have reached a terrifying number, which is simply unimaginable.
After all, there is a high probability that these monsters will not engage in civil war. They have no need to snatch resources and can become stronger just by lying down.
Thirdly, monsters will also invade the spiritual energy of the fruit.
Because spiritual energy is eternal, if there are more monsters and beasts, the spiritual energy that warriors can devour will inevitably be less.
And that fruit... is myself.
It can also be said to be... the realm of gods.
There are countless veins in plants. The existence of these veins is to cultivate the final fruit. At the same time, these veins may become fruits.
Similar to raising gu.
Whichever vein can become the fruit first, then it is successful.
This is a battle for aura and resources.
Su Yue was scared.
The roots of the wetland are not cultivated land, but are even smaller, just like the plant vine that has not yet produced fruit.
Assuming that every thousand years of calamity is the result of a failure, then as the number of failures exceeds, the fruit will become sweeter and sweeter.
Monsters are pests.
Land monsters are beneficial insects that come to devour pests.
And warriors, or cultivators, or ancient cultivators of gods, are undoubtedly those candidates for becoming fruits.
From ancient times to the present, all monks may be just veins on a plant, nothing more.
The ultimate mission of this seedling is nothing more than to produce a fruit to feed the elderly farmers... nothing more.
Go to the realm of gods.
No wonder there has never been a God Realm from ancient times to the present, and no one has ever returned from a God Realm that he left.
ridiculous.
became fruit.
If someone eats you, how can you come back?
It turns out that the truth is this, it turns out that I am one step away from becoming a miserable fruit.
After thinking about all this, how could Su Yue remain calm? How could he remain calm.
Afraid.
Unprecedented fear came over him, as if someone was pressing down on his head, pressing it hard into the water, suffocating him like never before.
By this time, Su Yue's sympathy for the old farmers had long since vanished.
From the perspective of the old farmer, the pests destroyed everything and eventually starved the old farmer to death. The old farmer was pitiful.
But if you stand from Su Yue's point of view, the result of bearing fruit is to be eaten, then the old farmer is the biggest natural enemy.
really.
There can be no absolute enemies in the world, only different positions.
It turns out that Dou Li Mountain is a gathering place for pests.
It turns out that only pests are the natural enemies of old farmers.
What I can do is give up my own rhythm of breakthrough, and at the same time... I also want to prevent others from breaking through.
Because once the fruit is picked, the entire plant will wither instantly.
This world is gone.
It's terrible.
This is the end of the world, this is the real destruction of everything.
Realm monster!
right.
All the problems lie with the monster.
Su Yue knew in his heart that the beneficial insects were infected with the plague and exploded at the same time, affecting the beneficial insects on other plants. This was the real reminder that the illusion wanted to give him.
My mission is to make the realm monster sick.
…
Buzz!
Su Yue was thinking wildly, and at the same time, the wooden stick was writing and drawing on the ground.
Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and the scene in front of him changed again.
Su Yue was stunned.
This time, instead of an old farmer coming to farm, he went directly to the deepest part of the universe.
Su Yue seemed to have returned to the time when he was practicing in Suqian Holy Realm.
He stood in the void, looking around blankly.
At the same time, Su Yue also felt a sense of disgust in his heart. He hated this kind of lonely and desolate scene, which could easily make people feel world-weary.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for being able to understand all this."
Suddenly, an old man wearing a bamboo hat and hunched back appeared next to Su Yue and said in a leisurely manner.
"Senior who is?"
Su Yue asked in surprise.
In fact, he was just asking politely. If nothing unexpected happened, this old man was the human elder of Dou Li Mountain.
"It doesn't matter who a dead person is.
"Look at the top of your head."
The old farmer shook his head and pointed at the top of Su Yue's head.
Hearing this, Su Yue raised his head.
When he raised his head, his heart was almost shocked to the point of exploding.
He saw a black hole in a distant place, unprecedentedly huge, so huge that it was shocking, so huge that it was despairing, and so huge that it made people want to commit suicide.
And this black hole turned out to be the eye of a creature.
Su Yue's arms were paralyzed.
At this time, on another distant planet, a bright light cluster slowly rose.
Su Yue swallowed.
It is the realm of gods.
Although he has never seen the true realm of gods, as a person in the realm of splitting the void, he can feel that this is the realm he is chasing.
This is the divine realm of another civilization, the fruit of another vine.
The universe is that farmland, and every civilization is just a vine sown, nothing more.
boom!
A powerful man from a different civilization in the realm of gods was struggling, and he released an unprecedented light.
But the ending is still tragic.
The black hole was spinning, and the heart-stopping light cluster of the God Realm was quickly swallowed up.
Everything is calm and calm.
At the same time, Su Yue also observed a purple light cluster.
That is the beneficial insect, that is, the role of the environment monster.
That's right, the energy and blood released by the realm monster is purple, and it is this purple that allows it to suppress the group of monsters.
The light group disappeared for a long time, but Su Yue's heart still couldn't calm down.
He knew that if he also broke through to the realm of gods, his fate would be exactly the same as the previous light group.
Facing this black hole, I have no ability to resist at all.
Su Yue wanted to see clearly what this final creature was.
But despite exhausting all his abilities, he could only see a black hole and that terrifying eyeball.
For other bodies, nothing can be seen.
"Only after becoming a god can we see it clearly!"
The elder seemed to know what Su Yue was thinking, and the hatted bear shook slightly.
"Go back!"
The elder waved his hand and the illusion in front of him disappeared.
…
Outside the valley.
The bamboo hat bear shivered, as if he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.
Elder.
He is a human elder hiding in Dou Li Mountain.
He came out, he really came out.
According to legend, if the elder appears, it means that the catastrophe of this realm monster can be ended.
