After Gu Yu met the little senior sister, he headed eastward from Yunnan Province, walking neither fast nor slow, half playing and half looking for the traces of the phoenix.
On this day, the two finally crossed Yunnan Province and reached the border of Guangxi Province.
The southern area is the key area for the migration of the demon clan. Along the way, from time to time, you can see specially designated towns for the demon clan, as well as a high-tech experimental area where humans and monsters coexist. The so-called experimental area means that Xia Guo sent a large number of experts and monks to study the magical talents of monsters in order to improve various production levels.
When the two of them entered Guangxi Province, the first thing they saw was such a town.
With a population of tens of thousands, the urban area is very small, with two main streets vertically and vertically, but there are large fields outside. Part of it is open-air, and part of it is covered by awnings. The technicians and the monsters shuttle between them, and they get along well.
The two walked for a while, and saw a few acres of rice fields not far away. An old man with gray hair was standing in the water wearing rubber boots, and another swallow was sitting on his shoulder.
This swallow is half a foot long, with blue upper body feathers, off-white lower body, short wingtips and short feet, agile eyes, with a strong human touch.
The old man took out a handful of gray powder from the bag, the swallow pecked at it a few times, chewed it and spit it out. The powder mixed with saliva was like a lump of mud, exuding a strange smell.
The old man didn't take it seriously, he picked up a little bit and smelled it, and even licked it a few times.
"It is slightly lighter than last time, which shows that the thinking is correct, and the proportion needs to be adjusted."
"Squeak!"
Swallow called several times, as if communicating with spiritual thoughts, but the old man could understand it—he was obviously a congenital cultivator.
One person and one swallow chatted for a long time, and the swallow fluttered its wings and flew away, sinking into the green hills. Gu Yu and the two came over now, and saluted: "I have seen you, senior!"
The old man looked at him with a strange face, and said, "Don't be too polite, where are you from?"
"Junior Gu Xiaofei, this is my junior brother Chen Yue, who happened to pass by here on a trip." The little senior sister said.
Hearing these two names, the old man flashed a trace of doubt.
Of course Gu Xiaofei knew that the great disciple of the Bashan School, but this Chen Yue...wasn't expelled from the sect? Of course he is not a gossip person either, so he said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a high-ranking disciple of the Bashan School. Are you going to Guangdong Province to look for Phoenix?"
"Um?"
The little senior sister was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Has everyone already known about the birth of the Phoenix?"
"I know a lot, and I don't know a lot. In the last week, I saw at least five groups of people passing by, all looking for Fenghuang."
"We are also hearsay and don't know the ins and outs, can senior tell me a thing or two?" Gu Yu said.
The old man has nothing to do at the moment and is more enthusiastic, so he briefly talked about it.
But twenty days ago, the juniors of several sects in Guangdong Province had a sword fight on a mountain. Private nature, small scale, no more than ten people present, habitual discussion and exchange.
Lin Zhe of the Red Lotus Sect was superior in skills and won the lottery from everyone. When he was setting up a banquet, he suddenly felt a wave of coercion. It is said that the scene was chaotic at that time, and all the masters were in a panic, and a big bird wrapped in colorful brilliance flew across the sky and disappeared in an instant.
After that day, news of Phoenix's rebirth spread like wildfire.
"..."
The little senior sister is very depressed, the master is really a big dick, dreaming of a hammer! ! !
"Oh I got it."
Gu Yu, however, had heard it before, but became more interested in another matter, "Senior, may I ask, did the swallow just now have something to do with the farmland?"
"Well… "
The old man paused, and replied: "Anyway, it's not a secret, so I'll tell you about it. It's just a swiftlet with enlightened wisdom, leading a group to build a nest in a cave. Swiftlets are well known, and their saliva can produce bird's nests." Its innate magical powers are not very powerful, but the saliva has a very obvious mutation. I tried to combine it with planting to further improve the yield and quality of spiritual plants... Do you know how much rice is produced per mu?"
If it were someone else, I might not be able to answer it, but Lao Gu is the first generation of Fenghuang Mountain, and he personally led people to cultivate the fields.
"The latest generation of rice species on the market should be Lingdao No. 5 ten years ago, with an average yield of 4,000 kilograms per mu. And as far as I know, no new rice species has come out in the past ten years."
Yo!
The old man was full of astonishment, the Bashan sect was really extraordinary, and the disciples knew everything about farming.
"That's right, since Academician Yuan cultivated Lingmi, varieties have changed very quickly. Because at that time the spirit burst out, the nature itself is constantly changing, but after the environment stabilizes, the species' genes are also stable, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs and innovations. It's even more difficult. And this time the Yaozu's entry has brought many new changes, and Swiftlet is one of them. I was sent here to research a new type of Lingmi, and strive to produce more than 10,000 catties."
"But you are not a monk, why are you still engaged in scientific research?" The little senior sister wondered.
"Hehe, the times are different, and you can't think about problems with old ideas. There are many obstacles for non-monks to study spiritual things. Now you have to understand both science and practice. I studied rice with academicians when I was 30 years old, and I was 42 years old. It took twenty years to cultivate the Tao, and now I am sixty-two years old..." The old man laughed.
The two couldn't help admiringly.
This person's qualifications are mediocre, and he only started to practice in middle age. Even with the help of government resources, he must have paid unknown hard work. But what he seeks is not for longevity, but for producing more rice in the fields, which can be called great.
You know, before the spiritual energy recovered, Xia Guo had to import a large amount of grain every year. Later, there was a global famine, and we were the only ones who relied on rice to support us. Later, we had enough energy to support our surrounding areas.
Now, the problem of global food shortage is becoming more and more prominent, because the population is growing rapidly, but the output has been constant for many years. If there is a breakthrough in technology, it will benefit all people.
"..."
Gu Yu and the little senior sister looked solemn, and gave each other a big gift in a very formal way.
"I wish the seniors get their wishes fulfilled, and may there be no hunger in the world!"
"Hehe, Cheng Xiaoyou's auspicious words, goodbye by fate."
After receiving some spiritual baptism, the two felt refreshed and of high moral character. After bidding farewell to the old man, they continued to walk into the city.
The closer to the dense place, the more monster races, almost all of them have no form, with crooked melons and dates, and strange looks, as if they have entered a world of beast blood.
Human beings may be used to it, and they didn't show the slightest discomfort. They generally showed a strange sense of coordination.
It was still early, and the densely populated area ahead, the two of them did not stop, planning to rest in the next town. As a result, just as he was about to leave the city, Gu Xiaofei suddenly felt the ground shake.
"What's wrong?"
"There is something!"
In an instant, pedestrians panicked and avoided, and the road surface surged suddenly, as if something was churning inside. A few policemen also came to Yufeng, armed with magic weapons, waiting in full force.
"Boom boom boom!"
I saw that the road was undulating and undulating, extending to the two of them. Gu Yu blinked, flashed a flash, turned behind the little senior sister, and then listened:
"Moo!"
The big guy like a mountain of meat got out of the ground, shook his fur, the yellowish yellow faded, and was replaced by a bright blue. The four legs are as thick as pillars, the lines of bones and muscles are smooth and graceful, just right, the eyes are clear and peaceful, and he exhales a breath of white air.
But it is a very handsome green bull.
