"What's going on? Why are scarecrows crying?" "That's impossible. I've never seen scarecrows crying before. They always look very happy. As long as they have work to do and food to protect, they will be happy. Now there are obviously abundant fruits and a good harvest is coming. Why are they crying?"
"Something is wrong. Quickly notify the authorities to come and investigate."
Seeing the abnormality of the scarecrow outside the city, countless people were surprised. You know, in decades, they have never seen a scarecrow like this. It is completely beyond imagination. Something must have happened, and it is a big thing.
Soon, people from the city were sent to check it out.
When asked, the scarecrow just cried and ran around in the spiritual field, looking at this spiritual plant and touching that spiritual plant, with a look of sorrow on his face.
I was so heartbroken that I couldn't even speak.
"Quick, report the situation. I feel like something big is going to happen."
The mayor of the fairy city went out to check, but he couldn't find the reason. He immediately communicated with other colleagues and other mayors through the Tianxing watch and found that the same situation had occurred in other fairy cities. It was not the only special situation in his fairy city. It appeared on a large scale. It was even spreading.
Faced with this situation, a large number of city lords jointly submitted a petition.
At the same time, communicate with the scarecrow as much as possible.
"It's sick, the rice is dying."
"The food is running out. The spiritual fields are sick."
The scarecrow just uttered these few words, and then was completely immersed in a sad atmosphere, circling around the rice field continuously, with the sadness in his body almost impossible to dispel.
The memorials were extremely urgent and appeared in front of Yi Tianxing almost immediately. There were not just one or two memorials, but thousands of them, which came in one after another from all directions.
"The scarecrow is crying. The spiritual plants and grains in the rice fields are all in trouble. The scarecrow said that all the crops in the spiritual fields are sick."
A solemn look appeared between Yi Tianxing's brows.
Once there is a problem with the crops, it will cause a huge problem for Dayi's food reserves. Dayi has too many people, and the amount of food consumed every day is huge, of which most is spiritual rice. The demand for spiritual rice is quite huge. Everyone in Dayi practices cultivation, and eating ordinary food can only maintain food and clothing, but to help practice, you must eat spiritual rice. The cultivation of spiritual rice is partly cultivated by Dayi outside the fairy city, and partly by the people of Dayi cultivating spiritual fields and planting spiritual rice in the Qiankun Cave. Part of it is planted in the cloud world of Xuanhuang Fairy City, and part of it is planted in the Hongmeng Tiandi Tower.
Most of the spiritual rice grown in the pagoda is stored and not released to the outside world on a large scale. What is maintained is a price regulation system for people's livelihood. These are strategic materials, the prices of which can be easily controlled, and people's livelihood has absolute control.
This is a trump card that cannot be easily taken out.
Now, all the spiritual fields in the fairy cities have problems. The scarecrows are crying and saying that the crops in the spiritual fields are sick. Once they are sick, it will obviously spread throughout the entire Dayi territory. The consequences will inevitably be serious. I don’t know how many people who plant spiritual plants will suffer major economic losses. In that case, the situation in Dayi will be greatly affected.
If the people's hearts are unstable, the entire Dayi will be unstable.
This is absolutely not allowed.
If the crops in the spiritual fields get sick, people will get sick, and naturally, animals and plants will also get sick.
Moreover, some diseases are very ferocious and terrifying, and spread at an alarming speed. Once they appear, it will be a large-scale disaster. Even if the disease appears on crops, it will cause unimaginable losses to crops. It is extremely destructive to the people's livelihood in Dayi.
Now that illness has occurred on a large scale, it is conceivable that the impact on people's livelihood must be huge.
Memorials were submitted one after another, each representing a problem with a spiritual field in a fairy city.
"It is reported that Song Yingxing is here to see the emperor."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Holy King."
Someone immediately went to deliver the message, and soon, Song Yingxing arrived at Zhixing Hall.
Song Yingxing is now in the Immortal Academy, and he is the dean of the Farmer College. He has cultivated a large number of outstanding farmers, and collected a large number of farmers' magical powers. He has also cultivated a variety of spiritual rice, and his contribution to Dayi is absolutely beyond imagination.
"Saint King, you summoned me here probably because a large number of spiritual plants and crops in Dayi are showing abnormalities."
Song Yingxing saw Yi Tianxing, bowed, and spoke quickly without beating around the bush. If there was a problem with the spiritual field, given his status, he would naturally get the news from various channels at the first time. If there was a problem with the spiritual plant, and he, the dean of the Farmers' College, didn't know about it, it would be a huge joke.
"Yes, according to the memorials sent by the major immortal cities, this time the abnormality is not a problem of one or two cities, but covers most of the entire area. The same situation has occurred in the five major realms, including the Hanhai, Bohai, and Caribbean Sea. The scarecrow is crying, but the spiritual plant on the outside does not show any abnormality and continues to grow. The specific situation still needs to be investigated and solved by Minister Song."
Yi Tianxing nodded and said solemnly.
"Holy King, I boldly speculate that this is a disaster targeting spiritual plants. Scarecrows guard spiritual fields. This is their nature since birth, and they are close to the various spiritual plants in the spiritual fields. Since the scarecrows said that the crops in the spiritual fields are abnormal and are still crying, if it were just one or two, there might be errors, but there are countless scarecrows making such a move at the same time, the possibility that it is true is extremely high. It is as high as 90%. I suggest that all immortal cities immediately open the barrier and seal the city to prevent the spread of this abnormality. There are Qiankun Cave Mansions in the city, and in the caves, fertile fields are also cultivated and various spiritual plants are planted. I don’t know if it is too late to do this, but necessary defenses still need to be carried out."
Song Yingxing already felt a bad haze in his heart. This feeling was so strong that it was like a dark cloud covering his body and mind.
There is even a situation where closing the fairy city is no longer effective.
"Well, according to the memorials submitted, Qiankun Cave has suffered the same situation. We specially let the scarecrow enter Qiankun Cave, but it still keeps crying. It is no use sealing the Immortal City. Memorials from all over the country have been continuously transmitted. According to the secret report, there is no exception in the five realms."
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said.
This did not start from one area, but once it appeared, it covered all the boundaries and territories of Dayi. The development speed was too fast and the spread was too fast. It was no longer necessary to close the fairy city. This was aimed at crops, not people. If there were to be losses, it would have become an established reality and could no longer be changed.
"In this case, I request to lead the students of the Farmers' College to various immortal cities to investigate the situation. I wonder if the same abnormal situation has occurred in Xuanhuang Immortal City."
Song Yingxing's expression tensed and he asked.
"No, nothing unusual has been found in Xuanhuang Immortal City, and all the scarecrows are normal."
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said that he had just asked Fairy Ruyi, and no matter whether it was the Qiankun Cave Mansion in the city or the major cloud realms, that kind of situation had not occurred. It was certain that the epidemic had not spread to Xuanhuang Immortal City. It could even be said that no matter how the disease came from, there was no way to enter Xuanhuang Immortal City. After all, this was not an ordinary immortal city, but a real supreme artifact, the Eternal Sky Boat, and also a holy city in Yun Dynasty.
"That's good, Saint King. Before we can find out what the cause of the disease is and how it spreads, I suggest that Xuanhuang Immortal City be hidden for the time being and not exposed to the outside world to avoid any accidents."
Song Yingxing suggested.
There must be no problems in Xuanhuang City. Once there is a problem, it will be a huge trouble. Anywhere can be in chaos, but this holy city must not be in chaos.
"Don't worry, Xuanhuang City will be fine. Go to other immortal cities to investigate the situation. Once you have any news, report it immediately. Do everything possible to reduce the losses and do everything possible to completely resolve this trouble."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said decisively.
Xuanhuang City has an infinite mysterious characteristic. It is in a mysterious state all the time, as if it is isolated from the world. It is never easy to find flaws in it.
Song Yingxing didn't say anything more. After leaving the Holy King Palace, he went to the Immortal Academy immediately and brought out all the students in the Farmers' College. He took the Rainbow Bridge directly and appeared in a fairy city called Harvest City.
The area where this fairy city is located is fertile, and the surrounding area is very suitable for planting. After gathering the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, spiritual fields are constantly born around it. A large number of various spiritual plants, spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, etc. are planted. The quality of the spiritual rice grown is higher than that of most other fairy cities, and it is quite famous in Dayi.
As soon as Song Yingxing and his friends appeared, the city lord was overjoyed and quickly led them out of the city. As soon as they walked out, they immediately heard the scarecrow crying, and a sad atmosphere filled the air.
Look inside the spiritual field.
The rice grown here is a kind of top-grade spiritual rice, the Jade Rice, which is extremely emerald green. It is said to be bred from the jade veins, absorbing the essence of jade. It can mature in one year. The spiritual rice is emerald green and very pleasing to the eye. It tastes crisp and delicious, and is very nourishing. Grade: Xuan Grade Supreme.
Of course, it's not that there is no spiritual rice that has reached the Earth level, but as the grade goes up, the growth cycle will increase. In terms of efficiency, the Xuan level is naturally higher.
"Teacher, this jade rice doesn't look abnormal. It doesn't look like it's sick."
A farm student dressed as a farmer said with a frown.
