Chapter 195: The Convenience of Natural Disasters
Everything is balanced, the difficulty is easy to evolve, the more superficial the exercises, the easier it is to cultivate, on the contrary, such as Zhang Huansheng's practice of "Dragon Elephant Root Sutra", "True Maitreya", "Eight or Nine Xuangong", these world's top supernatural powers, any kind of breakthrough is bound to be extremely difficult, not to mention the three kinds of combined cultivation.
Therefore, even if he was able to get infinite external help under the coincidence of the Yuan Shen Anomaly, the three fundamental exercises were promoted one after another, and the law and martial arts were both cultivated to the first level of the human level, it was by no means a function of day and night, and it was impossible to succeed without a few years of hard training.
But now, just relying on the help of the elixir, Zhang Huansheng has ascended to the sky in one step and reached the peak of the human level, even if his body is somewhat worn out, it is definitely worth it.
It's just that in this way, he originally wanted to leave in the near future, and used the book left by the palace master in the past of "Zhenjun Palace" as a stepping stone to go to the mouth of the Guan River to discuss the wonders of Xuangong with the descendants of the Manifest True Monarch, but he had to postpone it.
Yufeng returned to Xiong Ni City, and Zhang Huansheng ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, obeying the various wound medicines he could find and began to nourish his body.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred days passed, and by the time he finally recovered, it was already early winter in November.
The island where Zhang Guo is located is like spring all year round, even in winter, there will be a few cold winds blowing at night, which is not only harmless to the green seedlings in the field, but also adds a sweet taste to the fruits all over the mountains.
However, unlike this former overseas desert island and today's paradise, a continuous cold and flood disaster in autumn and winter has reduced the yield of hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land by half.
If it is an ordinary time, it will be reversed, no matter how big the famine is, there will always be government relief, and the people of Li can always struggle to survive.
Just as today's disasters and man-made disasters have been going on for several years, the granaries of most state officials in the land of Yanhuang are almost empty, and since then, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it has become impossible to talk about providing relief to the victims.
As for the people, most of the wealthy families have also exhausted their grain reserves, and the few who have accumulated grain are mostly rich and unkind, and the more the year of famine, the more they want to hoard and live in strange places, so that the victims of disasters in various countries have the image of Yingye.
In the heyday, the population was expensive and the most important resource, and a healthy woman who could only do some rough work was worth more than a dozen silver beads, and the government did not allow private individuals to buy more.
So much so that the old Qi Jiang clan, who once held the hegemony of the Yanhuang Middle Domain, and after losing the country, received the sympathy of many feudal lords in the Yanhuang Land, and secretly gave countless conveniences, he only managed three or four million domestic slaves in the years of hard work.
But once the chaotic times of natural disasters and man-made disasters come continuously, Shu Li, who has no clothes to cover his body and is hungry and waiting to be fed, has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of many powerful people, which is not only worthless but also one of the sources of chaos.
Therefore, relying on the opportunity provided by this thousand-year-old famine, under the full operation of the Left Governor of the Broken Ring Pavilion of the Qi State and his henchmen, more than 11 million victims were sealed on silk cloth by secret methods and transported to Zhang Guo in less than half a year.
Coupled with the more than 2 million young men who should have been obtained according to Zhang Huansheng's secret agreement with the King of Qi, and the more than 1 million Yanhuang prisoners of war that he had exchanged for gold, silver, and grain from the barbarians as usual, the number of Dingkou in Zhang Guo's Yellow Book suddenly swelled from more than 10 million to 25,973,491 people.
With such a surge in population, Zhang Huansheng's footsteps to travel to the sea were naturally fettered, and his trip to the mouth of the river was once again in vain, dragging his newly recovered body to manipulate the natural power of heaven and earth to start building a new city on the island, cultivating wasteland, building roads, building canals and dams, and it took several months to finally settle the new Shuli Capital properly.
By the time the dust settles, it will be time for the spring of the coming year.
In mid-April, he rested for a few days, dissolved his fatigue, and recuperated his spirit, on this day, Zhang Huansheng faced the morning sun and the spring breeze, and the wind crossed a distance of hundreds of miles, drifting from Xiong Ni City to the foot of a deserted green mountain in the border land of Zhang State.
Seeing the green trees cascading, the river and the stream running through, and listening to the loneliness of the forest, only the sound of the water dingdong.
He walked quickly through the mountains to search for his previous memories, and soon came to a huge beast's nest built on the mountain, about seven or eight feet high.
As soon as he stopped, a grass-blue giant beast with a head similar to a dragon, but a body that was not snake-shaped but had bat-like wings, thick four-legged, and a tail as sharp as a spear, returned to the nest, flapping its wings and landing behind Zhang Huansheng.
Zhang Huansheng noticed the movement, turned his head to look at the dragon beast behind him that was almost five feet tall at the shoulder, more than six zhang apart from the head and tail, with jagged fangs, and a fierce tiger in his mouth, but still dripping turbid green saliva from time to time, and thought of joy without surprise on his face: "Although this Xizhou Dragon and Yanhuang Dragon cannot be compared, they are also very fierce when they look at it.
It should be enough to deal with ordinary level warriors and monks.
What's more, this kind of male dragon can really grow into shape in less than a year, and if it is trained into a mount, it can build an army of thousands of four-legged poisonous dragon flying cavalry in three or two years. He stretched out his hand and touched the drake.
If an ordinary person makes such an action, I am afraid that it will be turned into pus and blood by the poisonous mist sprayed by the poisonous dragon in an instant.
But in the face of Zhang Huansheng, the dragon beast seemed to be constrained by some kind of mysterious heavenly law, but he grinned and sniffed him, but he was fierce, and fell to the ground on all fours, showing surrender and obedience.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Huansheng touched the rough scale skin of the dragon beast with a smile, and muttered to himself with emotion: "Heavenly Dao Xuanqi, I obviously only dripped some blood on the beast egg, but it is really incredible that I can restrain such a huge beast because of this." ”
When the words landed, he pondered for a moment, pulled the tiger that had turned into a corpse from the mouth of the dragon beast, and tore it with both hands, allowing the blood and internal organs in its abdomen to flow out, emitting a strong smell of blood.
After half a cup of tea, a dragon beast that looked almost exactly the same as the dragon beast that preyed on the tiger, except that its body was much smaller, its bones were obviously slender, and its abdomen was even larger, jumped out of its nest, opened its mouth to devour the tiger's internal organs under Zhang Huansheng's feet, and from time to time stretched out its tongue full of fleshy thorns, licking the blood on the ground.
Seeing her gluttonous appearance, Zhang Huansheng looked at it carefully for a long time, and muttered softly to himself: "The Saxon bark book says that it takes much more time for a female tomatosaurus to grow from hatching to maturity than a male dragon, which seems to be really good."
However, they have no way to nourish the vitality of this young and poisonous female dragon, but it doesn't mean that I don't, and today I will let this Xizhou female dragon grow up. ”
