Chapter 585: The Holy One, this is the Chishui Plain of Xi Kingdom
Chapter 585: Your Majesty, this is the Chishui Plain of Xi Kingdom
The manta ray is a strange fish in the wilderness. It has a body shape like a carp, has two wings on its body and can fly. It has green patterns on its body, a white head and a red beak, and its voice is as clear and beautiful as a Luan bird. It is a famous fish in the wilderness.
An auspicious thing.
Manta rays often swim from the West Sea to the East China Sea. They can fly in the sky at night and travel across the wilderness.
Just like the arrival of the mythical beast Dangkang, every time the stingray appears, it means a good harvest and great prosperity in the world;
Every time a stingray leaps across the sea and travels through the summers, it attracts the attention of people all over the world.
This is also the reason why the emperor and the princes of the current dynasty looked gloomy when they learned from the divination witch Zhu that the Wen Ray appeared in the land of Xia.
The various places in the Xia Dynasty were in a state of chaos. Hundreds of vassal states all suffered from reduced grain production. The people were starved of food. There were no signs of a good harvest.
At this juncture, the appearance of the auspicious manta ray is absolutely untimely.
Could it be a mistake?
Or maybe the stingray is forced to fly to the summers at night due to other reasons...
For a moment, the emperor and the ministers in the Golden Palace all looked suspicious, and their eyes were fixed on Wu Zhu who came to report.
Wu Zhu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, my lords, this is not the nonsense of some little witches. Manta rays do indeed appear in the land of Zhuxia. There is no mistake. The witches in the witch temple can prove it. Please ask the emperor to judge."
After hearing the shaman's confirmation, the officials in the palace no longer questioned it. If a great shaman made a divination, he might be wrong, but if the shamans proved it, he would not be wrong.
Jiang Gong: "Your Majesty, wen stingrays are rare and auspicious treasures from ancient times and have extraordinary talents. They move in groups. I'm afraid there is no mistake. Maybe there is really an undiscovered place. God bless me, Zhu Xia. This
It’s a good sign.”
The other ministers also nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Jiang's words make sense. We should follow Wen Yuyu and look for the land of Da Rang. Maybe this will solve the problem of food shortage in Zhuxia."
"I second the proposal!"
The Emperor Mu nodded slightly, his face that was as heavy as water softened a lot, and he showed a relaxed look on his face. He also thought the same. At this time, the auspicious manta ray suddenly appeared, it was a timely rain, and it came at the right time.
, if there is God’s help.
"It's true what you dear friends said. This is God's help. Come and pay close attention to the whereabouts of Wen Ray. Even if Wen Ray goes to the depths of the wilderness, it doesn't matter..."
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Emperor Tianzi. If Wen Ruyu's destination is not the Zhuxia Dynasty, but the depths of the wilderness, then he doesn't mind starting a war, and the army will approach the wilderness to plunder the aliens.
Barbarians.
"If the foreign barbarians have a good harvest, hey, hey, I am willing to lead the country's elite troops to follow the emperor to attack the barbarians."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
In the past, hungry barbarians from all directions raised troops to plunder the Xia Dynasty, which were industrious, capable, and good at farming. But now, the roles were reversed, and the hungry Xia Dynasty stared at them with eager eyes.
In the Golden Palace, the monarchs and ministers were all very excited, with the attitude of grabbing at straws and refusing to let go.
Emperor Ziqi was the only one who was wandering in the sky and in a trance. When he saw Manta Ray appearing in the world, the first thing he thought of was the 700,000 acres of fertile land in Xi Kingdom that his sister said was about to have a good harvest.
A total of 700,000 acres of fertile soil and fertile farmland with a yield of four to five koku per mu. The harvest of this land alone is as huge as three million koku of grain. This is undoubtedly a bumper harvest, an unprecedented bumper harvest that can attract the appearance of stingrays.
Not unexpected.
If the mythical beast Dangkang hadn't just appeared a few years ago, Emperor Ziqi felt that maybe this year the mythical beast Dangkang would still favor the Xi Kingdom and the land of Chishui.
He felt extremely depressed when he saw his father and ministers discussing heatedly how to use troops and how to grab food if Wenyu appeared in the wilderness.
He wanted to reveal the truth, but he thought that now that the overall situation has been decided, it would be meaningless for him to say it or not. If he did, he would be scolded by his father. Why didn't he tell it earlier?
Thinking of this, Emperor Ziqi's heart felt dull, and a sense of powerlessness swept through his heart.
Every time he faced Yao Yun, he always lost inexplicably, which made him feel deeply frustrated.
Time passed slowly, and the emperor and the ministers waited expectantly for the good news.
Above the Golden Palace, a vibrant light curtain stands in the sky. Within the light curtain is a pitch-black night, with rays flying in groups, flapping their wings, soaring into the sky, which is quite spectacular.
Emperor Mu and the ministers of the court stared at the light screen intently, always paying attention to the movements of the manta fish.
"It seems that the stingray went south?"
"It is true that I went to the south. Hiss, could it be the depths of the Southern Wilderness? But I heard that deep in the Southern Wilderness, the mountains are rolling and there are few cultivated fields. The southern barbarians are like growing high-yield food..."
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. We should not underestimate the foreign barbarians. Maybe the barbarians have obtained some kind of high-yielding food seeds. This is not impossible."
"This statement makes sense. If so, if we take the opportunity to seize it, not only will the predicament be solved, but the country may also benefit from it."
...
Looking at the direction in which the stingray was flying, the ministers' imaginations opened up and they started a series of associations. They even began to discuss how to divide the spoils.
This scene was awkward in the eyes of Emperor Ziqi.
Everyone was talking constantly, but the stingrays showed no intention of stopping and quickly leapt towards their destination. Rays of light streaked across the sky, as brilliant as shooting stars.
"Your Majesty, the stingrays have entered the ground. They seem to have reached their destination."
Following Wu Zhu's exclamation, the entire Golden Palace suddenly erupted in excitement. Whether it was the Emperor Mu or the ministers below, their faces were all expressions of ecstasy.
Everyone in the Golden Palace is a man of advanced cultivation, with a pair of spiritual eyes that can see things at night as if they were in the daytime.
After the manta ray plunged down from the sky into the clouds and pounced on the ground, everyone followed it closely, not daring to blink for fear of missing something.
It was at this moment when the flying fish flew into the sea of clouds that everyone's eyes showed shock.
On a vast plain, the golden rice ears were like waves, rising and falling with the night wind. As far as the eye could see, there was a dazzling golden light.
The stingrays flapped their wings and flew into the golden waves of rice, just like fish entering the sea, making loud sounds of luan birds and jumping for joy.
The dazzling golden light dazzled through the light curtain, shining on the Golden Palace, and also reflected on the faces of the emperor and the ministers of the court.
A sea of rice ears about to be harvested!
A land of fruitful harvests!
Looking at this shocking scene, both the emperor and the ministers in the palace couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their eyes filled with ecstasy.
The auspicious artifact, the ray, indeed guided them to a place of good harvest.
With this vast harvest land, the food crisis of the various Xia dynasties could be safely overcome and the danger turned into safety.
The emperor's face flushed, he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is this?"
Wu Zhu, who was constantly comparing the various Xia Kan maps, looked incredulously and said, "Report to the Holy One, this is the Chishui Plain of Xi Kingdom!"
