Chapter 020: Disaster

"Grandpa?"

Jiang Yuebai rushed home, but he didn't see Tao Fengnian, and there was no one in the village, so he ran towards the Lingtian behind the valley, and met Shi Xiaowu on the road.

"Senior Sister Jiang, you're back, Tao Laogang also instructed me to take his token to the Spirit Beast Valley to borrow a wild goose to pick you up."

Shi Xiaowu had Jiang Yuebai sell him five Qi Induction Pills before he stepped into the first level of Qi Cultivation within the time limit, so he had always been very kind to Jiang Yuebai.

"What's going on, where has everyone gone?" Jiang Yuebai asked.

Shi Xiaowu said, "Isn't it this heavy snow?" This year's snow came early and urgently, and it was a bit abnormal, and all the wheat seedlings of Lingmai in winter were frostbitten, and there were ice beetles. ”

"Not only our Huaxi Valley, but most of the Tianyan Sect has suffered a disaster, and if we don't deal with it quickly, there will be no harvest this winter, and many precious elixirs have not been spared, and the spiritual field may also be damaged, and it will not be able to be cultivated in the coming year."

Jiang Yuebai was surprised, "It's so serious, then the sect didn't react?" ”

"Yes, the elders and disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall have all been dispatched, and they are investigating whether there are any demonic disasters in the whole sect, and the Ten Thousand Law Hall and the Divine Machine Hall are also busy setting up a large array to turn things around, and I don't know who has been wronged by the sky, and the blizzard is endless."

Jiang Yuebai's heart shook, he thought that only mortals would be powerless to fight because of the power of heaven and earth, but he didn't expect that the immortal cultivation world would also suffer disasters because of the heavy snow.

The sky is mighty, and it is really difficult for people to breathe and feel oppressed.

"Where's my grandfather?"

"Tao Lao is leading everyone to remove snow and insects in Lingtian, and he has been busy for a day and a night without rest, by the way, Tao Lao told you to go to him as soon as you come back."

Jiang Yuebai's heart tightened, grandpa's health was not good, and such a big wind and snow had been working in the spiritual field, and he would definitely not be able to hold it.

"Let's go, go to Lingtian."

The goose feathers and snow were blowing one after another, and more than a hundred spirit cultivators in Huaxi Valley led their apprentices to scatter around the Lingtian, waving their sleeves and using the windscroll to clear the heavy snow covering the fields.

Tao Fengnian squatted in Song Peier's ten-acre spiritual field, his back was rickety, and he hadn't moved for half an hour, and his body was covered with snow, like a statue.

He looked tired, his withered hands were protected on both sides of a delicate red spirit plant, and he operated the fire aura, urging the Chiyan Jue, carefully warming the roots of the Chilian grass and driving away the cold.

The frostbitten leaves slowly stretched and rejuvenated, and Song Peier on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

She accepted the commission of the Internal Affairs Hall and planted ten acres of red practice grass as an adjunct for refining Zhuji Dan.

Red Lian grass is a fiery fierce, a winter snow should not have frostbite root system, who knows that this heavy snow is very strange, if it is not for the timely treatment last night, ten acres of red grass will be destroyed.

Song Peier's fate will be more than just compensation.

"Don't let the snow be buried again, your red grass won't be too much of a problem."

Tao Fengnian stood up with difficulty, his head shook twice, and he was held up by Song Peier.

"Thank you Brother Tao for your help today, I will have a place for my sister in the future, and my sister will never give up."

Tao Fengnian waved his hand, "Now I only hope that the sect will turn things around and stop the heavy snow as soon as possible, otherwise only we low-level monks who are digging in the soil will suffer." ”

Song Pei'er's face was sad, "I'm just afraid of being difficult, ninety percent of the monks in Huaxi Valley have learned the trick of cloud and rain, and it is the most taboo to use rain under heavy snow, and the trick of shaking the ground to loosen the soil and turn over the fields is useless." ”

"It takes more than two layers to deal with ice beetles, and the frostbite of the seedling root system needs to be repaired by Chiyan, but what I am proficient in is the cloud and rain trick and the earth shaking trick, and the grass and trees must wait for the insects to restore the vitality of the grass and trees."

Tao Fengnian was in a heavy mood, and the monks who were clearing the snow around him stopped to rest, and they all looked at Tao Fengnian with pleading eyes.

Lingtian is the foundation of their life and the foundation of their cultivation, if Lingtian has no harvest, it is equivalent to cutting off their cultivation path.

Tao Fengnian raised his eyes and saw that most of the seedlings in the valley were covered by a hard ice shell, and the emerald green leaves gradually melted away in the ice shell.

Ice beetles also existed in winter in previous years, but they were all scattered small pieces, and they could be detected and dealt with in time.

The sharp trick of removing insects is difficult to learn, and the red flame trick of root cultivation is difficult to control.

1,200 acres of spiritual land, there are few people who can help.

"Senior Brother Fang! Come on, Senior Brother Fang is injured, come on! ”

There was a rush of soldiers, and the old man who was removing insects in the field was carried to the side, with blood at the corners of his lips and a sluggish breath.

Tao Fengnian walked over briskly to take the pulse, "Overwork has hurt Zhihai, so don't work anymore." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone's faces turned pale, and Fang Zhong struggled to get up.

"I'm fine, the ice beetles in my field haven't been eliminated yet, my son finally entered the outer gate to cultivate to the perfection of Qi cultivation, and pointed to this winter's Lingmai for Zhuzhujidan, I can't ruin his hope of building a foundation."

"Enough!" Tao Fengnian scolded, "If you die, your son and demons will be together, and it will be even more hopeless to build a foundation!" ”

Fang Zhong sat on the ridge of the field in despair, staring at the wilted seedlings in the spiritual field and crying.

"How so! Well, how could it be! Heaven is going to kill me, heaven is going to kill me! ”

Everyone is also mourning, Lingtian is their life, and at this moment, the blizzard is asking for their lives.

Han Zhen, a swarthy man, asked: "Old Tao, what should we do now, there are only five people in Huaxi Valley who know how to be sharp, and three of them can't help before they reach the second floor, only Senior Brother Fang Zhong and Senior Brother Liu Dashan can get rid of insects." ”

"Now that Senior Brother Fang is injured, there is only Senior Brother Liu left, even if he is exhausted, he can't get rid of so many acres of insects, not to mention that many of us have serious insect plagues in the fields, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive tonight, even if one more person can get rid of the insects, there is a glimmer of hope!"

Tao Fengnian's face was gloomy, "You don't have to worry too much, this disaster is violent and serious, the sect will not sit idly by, I believe that the internal affairs hall will soon come up with a method to remove insects and snow, and we will insist on it." ”

Han Zhen's eyes reddened, "What's the use of us insisting any longer, the ice beetles won't stop devouring the seedlings, no matter what, we have to get rid of the insects first, otherwise we won't be able to wait for the sect to make a move, and our spiritual wheat this winter will be all over." ”

"Yes, Tao Lao, you can help us think of a way, now we can only count on you."

"Help us, Elder Tao, you are a spiritual cultivator, there will definitely be a way."

Everyone begged, Tao Fengnian coughed violently, his body was already unbearable, even if there were spirit stones to replenish the consumption, he was a person whose longevity was about to run out, and his essence was insufficient, how could he deal with so many insect plagues in Lingtian.

What's more, he still has hundreds of acres of medicine fields that have not been treated, and that is the most important thing.

"Grandpa!"

The crisp child's voice hit the heart, Tao Fengnian turned his head suddenly, and saw his own girl rushing wildly, and his heart was still heavy, and he suddenly brightened.

Song Pei'er looked over, "I haven't seen this girl for a few days, where are you going...... How many layers of Qi has she been practicing here?! ”

Jiang Yuebai ran to Tao Fengnian, ignoring Song Pei'er's surprised gaze, "Grandpa, can I help you?" ”

Tao Fengnian ironed in his heart, and when he saw that her girl was full of inspiration, she knew that she had not only cultivated the "Five Elements Returning to Truth", but also built the Five Elements Wheel Bridge she said, and her cultivation had also improved a lot.

Facing the surprising eyes and whispers around him, Tao Fengnian was honored.

"Follow me, this is an ice beetle, it turns into an ice shell and covers the leaves, and the body is hidden in the rhizome, you need to use the edge to ......"

Tao Fengnian took Jiang Yuebai to the spiritual field, and Song Pei'er stood in place and followed her gaze, her chin couldn't be closed for a long time.

Not only her, but the monks around her who were familiar with Jiang Yuebai, as well as the apprentices who were at the same time as her, were all dumbfounded, and their hearts shook.

Previously, they were still laughing at Tao Fengnian in the field for treating a Wulinggen apprentice as a treasure, but they were all speechless at the moment.

Don't wait for three days, don't just be impressed!

"Senior Sister Lu, what are you looking at?" Shi Xiaowu stood beside Lu Ying, puzzled and asked.

"Liar!" Lu Ying wrung the corners of her clothes and bit her lip, her heart was sour.

Jiang Yuebai didn't have the heart to pay attention to the eyes of others, and after Tao Fengnian finished talking about the main points, she began to urge the sharp trick to prepare for her first pest control task.

"Wait!"

Guo Zhen walked out of the crowd, he was the owner of this spiritual field and Shi Xiaowu's master.

The master is not the master, only the responsibility of teaching, which is different from the acceptance of apprentices by the Yuanying Zhenjun in the sect, which is a contractual relationship.

Guo Zhen learned the trick of cloud and rain and the trick of shaking the earth, and at this time he was helpless in the face of the insect plague in the field, so he could only plead with Tao Fengnian.

"Tao Lao, if you don't want to help us and say it directly, how can you take a little girl's piece to perfunctory us!"

After Guo Zhen finished speaking, the people around him nodded in agreement.

They were surprised by Jiang Yuebai's skyrocketing cultivation, but they had never seen Jiang Yuebai working in the fields, and they couldn't believe that she could handle the ice beetles that needed a second-level sharp skill to kill on her own.

Tao Fengnian put Jiang Yuebai behind him, "You can't trust the old man?" ”

Guo Zhen frowned, "It's not that I can't trust you, but ...... In the face of the catastrophe, Tao Lao, you can't take our lifeline as a child's play. ”

Faced with doubts, Jiang Yuebai was not angry in her heart, and pulled Tao Fengnian's sleeve.

"Grandpa, they don't want me to help, forget it, you're tired for a day, let's go back and rest."

As soon as the words fell, Guo Zhen was furious, "Elders speak, what are you talking about a yellow-haired girl!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Tao Fengnian glared angrily, "The old man's people can't tolerate your scolding!" ”

Guo Zhen clenched his fists and said nothing, the others gritted their teeth and endured, and looked at Jiang Yuebai more and more unpleasantly, and as soon as they came, they were going to pull Tao Fengnian, who could save their lives, and there was no doubt about the bear child.

Tao Fengnian protected Jiang Yuebai, "As a spiritual cultivator, although the old man has the responsibility of managing Huaxi Valley, but in the face of such a natural disaster, according to the rules of the sect, the old man should give priority to ensuring that the precious elixir is protected from disasters. Even if the old man doesn't help you save the Lingmai seedlings, there is nothing wrong with that, and no one has the right to blame the old man. ”

Jiang Yuebai nodded hurriedly, finally seeing his grandfather's hard side, if only he could be so hard in the face of Jia Wei.

Jiang Yuebai turned her head and looked around, Jia Wei didn't seem to be there, could it be that she went to his sister's place to eat and drink again?

Retracting her gaze, Jiang Yuebai saw everyone bowing their heads, obviously resentful in their hearts, but they didn't dare to attack.

Guo Zhen's seven-foot man's eyes were red at the moment, the heavy snow was on his body, the cold wind was bleak, and Jiang Yuebai felt a sense of powerlessness and grief in him.
