A little rabbit and a skinny little bird, together, are not enough to fill the stomachs of one or two people. There are more than 100,000 people in this mountain village. This little bit of meat can't even make a splash. It's just a drop in the bucket and can't help. The patriarch of the Miao village is an old man with his own majesty. In the Miao village, his words are as good as gold. No one can refute him. He has a very high prestige and a very high seniority. His name is Yu Zhenlin. He is not young. He is already over 50 years old. Under normal circumstances, because of the spiritual energy and nourishment between heaven and earth in the eternal world, the life span of ordinary people is greatly increased. Not to mention a hundred years old, it is common to live to ninety years old.
At the age of fifty, it can even be said that one is not old, but still in middle age. If one starts practicing and becomes a monk, then one’s life span will be even longer.
Yu Zhenlin also practices cultivation and is a monk, but his hair has turned gray, and his old appearance shows the pressure in his heart. The various things he undertakes every day bring him a great burden.
Miao village, life is so hard.
Lin Zhenlin felt bitter in his heart. You know, there is famine everywhere now. The land has become barren. The grain harvested from planting crops is less than 30% of that in previous years. In some lands, there is not a single grain of grain harvested. In addition, the surrounding beasts and birds have become more ferocious and violent. Driven by hunger, they constantly attack the people in the Miao village. Many people have died at the hands of the beasts.
This was when the demonic disaster had just begun. Up to now, the number of fierce beasts and birds has been decreasing. Even if there are still some, each one is very powerful. If you are not strong enough, provoking them is to seek death. On the contrary, they are often targeted by fierce beasts and birds, who raid and plunder the people and turn them into blood food. If it weren't for the disciples and masters of the Moon Worship Sect guarding the Miao village, I'm afraid that the Miao village would not exist just because of those fierce beasts.
It was not only their village that was like this, but the entire Moon Worshiping Realm was like this, the situation was mild and severe, but food had become more precious than gold, every month, although the Moon Worshiping Cult and even the Nanzhao Kingdom would allocate some food to various Miao villages and towns, the problem was that that food, even if it was made into porridge every day, the kind that could be seen clearly, could not last for a month, two thin meals a day, and they had to go hungry from time to time.
Every night, some people could not survive and died of hunger.
There used to be more than 100,000 people in the village, but now there are less than 60,000 to 70,000 people left.
The number of people has been reduced by almost half. This is famine.
This is the consequence of having no food.
After seeing the hunting team's harvest, the people in the Miao village fell silent one by one.
They have experienced too many situations like this and have become accustomed to them. They do not blame others because they know that the hunting team has tried their best. The ferocious beasts around them have either left, died, or are so powerful that they cannot be provoked. Every time they go out hunting, it is just an inner expectation.
Hopefully there will be a glimmer of light.
"I heard that in Dayi Xianting, the demonic disaster is not serious, and there is enough food. Everyone can eat their fill and have three meals a day with meat, vegetables, and white rice. I really want to know what kind of life that is."
"I heard that Dayi has a void train that appears in various realms, taking in people from all walks of life. But why have we never seen it?"
In the Miao village, the people looked up into the void, as if they could see the legendary void train descending from the sky in the next second to take them out of this world of suffering. If they continued like this, they would surely starve to death.
According to some information, cannibalism has begun to occur in many villages.
When thinking of that scene, countless people revealed a look of fear or even a hint of desire.
Human nature can hardly stand the test of hunger.
If you have never experienced hunger, you cannot understand that kind of despair. When there is a piece of meat in front of you, your eyes will light up.
Recently, we have heard a lot of news about Dayi Xianting.
There are countless descriptions of the wonderful life in Dayi. Eat three meals a day, and there is also a midnight snack. Eat meat every day, eat fresh vegetables, drink delicious wine, various drinks, various desserts, various delicious snacks, and so on.
When the common people heard the news, they drooled.
That kind of desire cannot be described in words.
Hunger is the greatest drain on one's will.
In the Moon Worship Realm.
In the Goddess Lake, there is a huge island. On the island is the Moon Worship Cult's headquarters. You can see palaces standing one after another, exuding a special charm.
On the island, there is a sacred mountain called Baiyue Peak.
Moon Worship Peak is the core of the Moon Worship Sect. The Moon Worship Hall is built on it, where the Moon Worship Sect leader lives. When you look up, you can feel an invisible mighty force floating between heaven and earth.
At this moment, in the Moon Worship Hall, a middle-aged man in a spotless white robe and with a slender figure was quietly looking up into the void. A full moon was rising slowly, and the soft moonlight was falling on the earth, but it seemed a little desolate. Under the moonlight, countless lives had left silently and entered the eternal silence.
From the back, I can feel an indescribable affinity and love.
"Master, the ruler of Nanzhao has sent a message that the country's food is almost exhausted. This year's production has been greatly reduced. The entire Baiyue Realm has fallen into a situation of dire straits. Many Miao villages have even resorted to cannibalism. If we don't find a solution, I'm afraid we will have to give up some of the people and keep others to get through this crisis."
A young man stood behind him and began to speak.
It can be seen that this young man has a heroic look on his face and can be said to be a talented person.
"Tang Yu Xiaobao, tell me, is my ideal really wrong? Why did the heavens send down such a disaster when it was about to be realized, destroying my good situation in an instant? Under the rule of my Moon Worshiping Cult, cannibalism can actually occur. How ridiculous and ironic this is."
The Moon Worshiper took a deep breath, looked at the bright moon, and said with a confused look on his face.
He wanted to build a world full of love, and he wanted the people under the rule of the Moon Worship Cult to be happy and content because of love. He wanted it to become a real paradise on earth, a holy land for the human race, but why was the reality so cruel
Everything before him told him how huge the gap was between ideal and reality.
This was a blow to his ideals.
Faith is wavering.
He believes that no matter what difficulties he faces, he can spread love to the world and resolve everything.
But the problem now is that the so-called love is worthless and useless in the face of hunger.
He has supernatural powers, but he can't produce enough food to satisfy the entire realm. The Moon Worship Sect has a secret realm where food can be grown, but the food produced is still barely enough to sustain the family.
After repeated setbacks, even the Moon Worshiper felt indescribable fatigue and confusion.
"Master, you are not wrong. The wrong thing is the timing. The demonic disaster came too quickly. If we are given enough time to develop and have enough reserves, we will be able to survive the demonic disaster."
Tang Yu Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"Master, the Great Yi Immortal Court has sent a message that they are willing to provide assistance to our Baiyue Realm. As long as the barriers of the realm are opened, they will send in a batch of food and supplies to supply the people in the realm and rescue the victims."
Elder Shi Gonghu, who was standing nearby, spoke up.
"Da Yi has put forward any conditions."
Baiyue asked.
"No, there are no conditions."
Shi Gonghu shook his head and said.
Baiyue was silent for a moment, then looked up at Mingyue and sighed, "Pass the order down, respectfully welcome the envoy of Dayi, and let him enter the Baiyue Realm to provide relief to the victims. Submit a letter of surrender to Dayi Immortal Court, stating that our Baiyue Sect is willing to bring the Baiyue Realm to submit to Dayi Immortal Court, and hope that Dayi will do its best to provide relief to the victims as we are all human beings. But if there is any need, Baiyue Sect will fully cooperate."
When he finished speaking, Moon Worshiper slowly closed his eyes.
What is worrying is not the scarcity but the inequality.
The Dayi Star Network is spread throughout the Eternal World, including the Moon Worshiping Realm. There are countless common people and cultivators who own the Tianxing Watch. Even if you can only log in to the external network, you can still see a lot of videos on the internal network. Many of them are shot in various fairy cities within the Dayi Fairy Court, allowing people to witness the prosperity of the fairy city with their own eyes.
Even though it is now in the midst of a demonic disaster, the damage caused by the demonic disaster in Dayi is much weaker than in other places. The people in the city are still stable and prosperous. There is more food than they can eat. Famine does not exist at all for Dayi.
This comparison is a complete disaster.
If the Moon Worship Sect had not been relatively friendly to the people, the entire realm would have been in turmoil and would have been difficult to maintain.
Who doesn’t yearn for it, who doesn’t expect it.
Only by experiencing hunger can you understand what kind of life the people in Dayi live.
The people's hearts have long been shaken.
Even though Dayi had never spoken, countless people had long hoped that one day they could become Dayi citizens, become true Yi people, and enjoy the wonderful treatment that was like a dream.
“I can’t fill the world with love, so let Dayi bring it to you.”
The Moon Worshiping Sect leader secretly sighed in his heart, feeling a deep sense of frustration.
"I hope Dayi can treat the people of my Moon Worshiping Realm well."
Shi Gonghu took a deep breath and sighed.
Most of the people in the realm are Miao people and the Jiuli tribe. Now it depends on whether Dayi can accept them and treat them well. But now, there is no other way. The Moon Worship Sect has no food, and the Nanzhao Kingdom has no food. If this continues, the people will die in large numbers and starve to death.
This is a real famine.
This is a disaster.
In the face of disaster, unless you really don't care about the people in the realm, otherwise, joining Dayi and submitting to Dayi is the only chance to break the impasse.
