Chapter Seventy-Five: Rice

Taishang Laojun got the rice seed and carefully inspected it.

After confirming that there was no problem, he asked the Jade Emperor's opinion again, and then passed the rice seeds to the four continents through the Sanqing temples in various places.

Taishang Laojun has not appeared in the mortal world for a long time, and he hesitated at first.

Does the apparition for the sake of rice lower his status?

But rice can feed countless people, and merit is secondary.

Taishang Laojun thought about the world, deigned to manifest his spirit, and sent the rice seeds down.

There is a Sanqing Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, where several Taoist priests and a tiger surround and look at the rice seeds on the ground.

"It was Grandpa Taiqing who appeared just now?"

Their faces were suspicious.

Taishang Laojun manifested his spirit, why was it not the elixir spirit dew that descended, but the ordinary rice seed?

"Could it be that someone is pretending to be Grandpa Taiqing, right?"

The Taoist priests discussed.

But the Taoist chose to believe.

"Don't care about the reason, Grandpa Taiqing has an order, you just follow it. ”

The Taoist chief asked the disciples to bring rice seeds and distribute them to nearby villagers.

The tiger also took the rice seeds in his mouth and ran to a distant village.

"Grandpa Taiqing appeared and gave him high-yield rice seeds, so you should be good at farming. ”

It put down the rice seeds, turned around and returned to the Taoist temple.

The villagers picked up the rice seeds and discussed with each other, but no one dared to plant them.

Rice is not as good as other crops, and if the harvest is not good, I am afraid that not only will you be hungry, but you will not even be able to pay the government taxes.

Let's not talk about whether Taiqing's apparition is true or not, even if it is true, what does Taiqing have to do with rice?

The villagers agreed that this was a lie.

In the four continents, people with the same idea account for the vast majority - Taishang Laojun deigned to appear, but the effect was mediocre.

He was quite helpless, so he had to go to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is entertaining four other immortals, namely the Giant Spirit God, Wenwu Qu Xing, and Wang Lingguan.

Huaguo Mountain already has a Taishang Laojun, Sun Wukong is not in a hurry to find other important immortals, Wenwu Quxing has spoken for him in the Heavenly Palace, and he has given priority to finding it.

As for the Giant Spirit God and Wang Lingguan, they are close ministers of the Heavenly King of Tota Li and the Emperor Zhenwu, and Sun Wukong intends to probe the direction of the wind from them.

When Taishang Laojun found Sun Wukong, he was entertaining four immortals, and Zhenyuan Daxian received Taishang Laojun.

Listening to Taishang Laojun's troubles, Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but laugh: "You try to take out the name of Huaguo Mountain." ”

Taishang Laojun suddenly realized.

A few days later, Zhong Nanshan, the tiger came to the village again.

"Grandpa Taiqing has appeared again. ”

It said to the villagers: "He knows that you have not planted rice seeds, so he has come to instruct us and inform you that the rice seeds come from Huaguo Mountain. ”

"Huaguo Mountain?"

The villagers immediately changed their attitude.

"We planted hemostatic grass, and if the rice seed comes from Huaguo Mountain, then we should try it. ”

As soon as they heard about Huaguo Mountain, the villagers began to believe it.

The virtuous monkeys of Huaguo Mountain are good at producing and creating, which is something that many humans have heard of.

In the past, after the "Heavenly Creation" came out, the water conservancy technology was rapidly promoted, and the labor required for farm work was reduced, and now Huaguoshan has produced rice seeds, which is not a strange thing.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the villagers began to sow seeds.

In other places, it was heard that rice seeds came from Huaguo Mountain, and people began to sow seeds one after another.

Taishang Laojun didn't expect that his name was not as good as Huaguo Mountain.

He was a little displeased, but soon rejoiced.

Half a year passed, the rice was harvested one after another, and the golden light in the sky flew towards him from the four continents.

The merits created by rice are beyond imagination.

The incense in Sanqing Temple and Sanqing Temple has increased a lot, and Lao Jun is overjoyed, he has not seen the ascension of believers for a long time.

The most obvious place for believers to improve is in the country of Wuji, where the drought for several years has made the people of Wuji miserable.

Half a year ago, Taiqing appeared and planted rice seeds in Huaguo Mountain, after the harvest, coupled with the increase in rice production in various countries, the black chicken country purchased from other countries, and for a while, the disaster was greatly reduced.

The king of Wuji Country was grateful and rebuilt the Sanqing Temple, and the people of the Wuji Country also came to the Sanqing Temple one after another to burn incense and kowtow to Taishang Laojun.

Taishang Laojun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a while.

But rice seed is only the beginning, in order to make hybrid rice completely popular, Taishang Laojun once again appeared, taught hybrid technology, and gave mother rice to various countries.

This job is far more difficult than rice seeds, Taishang Laojun borrowed flower essence from Sun Wukong, and sent them to Sanqingguan in various places with immortal methods.

The flower spirits are responsible for imparting techniques, and the Taoist priests are all humble to learn.

The success of hybrid rice has greatly increased the prestige of Taoist priests in various places among the people, and they have benefited a lot.

When the Taoist priests saw the increase in believers, how could they still doubt Taishang Laojun's approach, and they studied carefully and regarded the flower essences as guests.

There are also many flower essences that have successfully transformed in this process, and for a while, they have become a group of monsters with the fastest improvement in Huaguo Mountain.

Taishang Laojun was happy, not only accepted some flower essences as a boy, but also brought a few gourd elixirs from the sky to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong didn't dare to accept it anymore: "It's too much, I can't stand it." ”

"You deserve it. ”

Taishang Laojun stuffed the elixir to Sun Wukong and said, "You made me have an unexpected joy, I have to thank you." ”

Stuffed with the elixir, Taishang Laojun walked away.

"Why is he so happy?"

Sun Wukong is a little strange.

Taishang Laojun has never seen anything, and he has a lot of merits, how can he be happy because of rice?

"Brother Xian, you don't know. ”

Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but smile: "He is grateful to you for reshaping the statue for him!"

It turns out that because of the success of rice, the Sanqing Temple in various places has become lively, and many statues of Sanqing have also been reshaped.

But reshaping the Sanqing is something that wealthy Taoist temples will do, and many Taoist temples only reshape the statue of Taishang Laojun first.

Reshaping the statue in front of the other two Qings took advantage of it, which is the reason why Taishang Laojun was happy.

"I see. ”

Sun Wukong nodded, Taishang Laojun is quite like a child.

He took out the elixir from the gourd and ate it like a bean.

Nearby, the green ox was tied to a stone pillar by a rope.

While eating grass, it watched Sun Wukong eat beans with envy.

This monkey king is really lucky, he has been the mount of Taishang Laojun for so long, and he has not eaten much elixir.

The Monkey King is good, and treats the elixir as a bean.

Qingniu's heart was full of envy.

It's really a cow than a monkey, and it's angry cow.

However, the forage here is also good, refreshing and chewy, and the Monkey King did not treat it badly.

"I don't know if these grasses are hybridized like rice. ”

Qingniu thought so.
