The coming crisis facing Taixia Country made all the elders of Huaiyuan Palace suffocate.
At this moment, Zhang Tie sensed his insignificance and helplessness once again. He was not a deity. Even he couldn't reverse what had happened. After completely recovering his composure, Zhang Tie found that he could only try his best to adopt the correct countermeasures.
As a man, he was the father of many kids, the husband of many women, the pillar of Zhang Clan in Jinwu City, the head of Iron-Dragon Sect and an earth human knight, he couldn't escape from his responsibilities. Therefore, he didn't have any time to be sentimental and furious at this moment. If this was a life-and-death war, he was already on the battlefield. Besides adopting the correct strategy to survive himself and kill the enemies, all the other emotions had to be excluded from his mind.
"It's already a fact that the grains and grain seeds circulating by Heavens Reaching Church have been demonized. The first question we need to confirm is what tricks would Heavens Reaching Church and demons do to those demonized grains. Only in this way could Huaiyuan Palace adopt the correct countermeasures!" After looking around, Zhang Tie said calmly, "Elders and clan head, you're more knowledgeable and capable than me in this aspect. I think we could confirm this question now!"
Zhang Taixuan and the other elders became silent with a frown.
After his face changed, Elder Muyuan was the first to speak, "Judging from the history before the catastrophe, will the Heaven Reaching Church and demons continue to transfer some special pathogens into the grains this time so that the grains will continue to be the carrier of pathogens into human bodies?"
"I don't think so!" Elder Muyu shook his head, "Before the Catastrophe, demons and Three-eye Association had already used such a trick. By transferring special pathogens into demonized grains, demons and Three-eye Association once caused Hua population to lose their fertility and reproduction ability on a large scale. As a result, a large number of Hua babies became stillborn or deformed and were forced to abort. Taixia Country dared not forget such a painful lesson even today. In order to deal with demons and Three-eye Association, since the beginning of the founding of Taixia Country, all the prefectures and prefectures across Taixia Country have established a strict large-scale epidemic statistics, investigation and discovery mechanism. Even Youzhou Province has been running since the Independent Province. The medical data of the patients in the public hospitals across Taixia Country would be summarized to the medical bureaus of prefectures and prefectures in each quarter before being screened and analyzed by a large-scale difference engine system. As long as the same large-scale health problem appears across Taixia Country, all the prefectures and prefectures across Taixia Country would find it and report it to the higher authorities!"
"As the No. 1 human country, Taixia Country would never make the same mistake on this aspect for the second time. When in Xuanyuan Hill, Han Zhengfang was also crystal clear about the operation mechanism of the health defense institutions across Taixia Country. If Heavens Reaching Church adopted such a demonized method in the circulation of grains and seeds, after a few years, people would definitely have problems after eating them. As a result, Han Zhengfang and the other clans of Heavens Reaching Church would be exposed for sure. By then, they would not carry such a business for dozens of years without being discovered. Therefore, they would never transfer dangerous pathogens into the demonized grains this time."
After hearing Elder Muyu's words, everybody at present nodded in agreement. As a result, the first demonized method adopted by Heavens Reaching Church and demons was rejected.
History might repeat; however, it would never repeat simply. This was the law of history.
"Now that they didn't transfer pathogens into demonized grains, would Heavens Reaching Church and demons do something to the genes of those demonized grains so as to realize cross-species gene regulation on Hua people indirectly? Before the Catastrophe, Three-eye Association and demons had also used such a method on Hua people!" Elder Muan opened his mouth.
After hearing Elder Muan's words, everybody at present at the round table started to consider it seriously. Because this question could not be answered in a short time.
Before the Catastrophe, when demonized grains appeared in front of the public for the first time, they were always covered by the halo of high-tech biotechnology. In a long period, the physiological mechanism and harm of demonized grains and demonized herbal medicines to human bodies were the secrets controlled by Three-eye Association and demons. At that time, those lackeys of Three-eye Association liked to propagate that the toxins in demonized grains and demonized herbal medicines would not affect human health. Additionally, there was no evidence that demonized grains could change human gene functions. Demonized grains were nothing different than normal grains. All those who said demonized grains were harmful to human health were stupid and ignorant. They were stumbling blocks on the road of human civilization.
It was Hua scientists at that time who discovered the secret that demonized plants could cross-species gene regulation on human body and influence human gene functions. The research achievement of Hua scientists at that time could be summed up — — microRNA of plants could enter human blood, tissues and organs through daily ingestion of food. Additionally, as long as they entered human body, they would affect human physiological functions by regulating the expression of target genes.
It was this sentence that revealed the basis and principle behind the effects of demonized food on the human body. Today, this sentence was condensed into a classic summary of people and food in the mouth of all the pharmacists. What people eat is not "food", but "information".
Because of this sentence, in the opinion of a traditional and conspiratorial pharmacist, if the history of a clan or a country was divided by food, the catastrophe of demonized grains that Hua people experienced 1,000 years ago was just the second catastrophe that Hua people experienced before the Catastrophe. The first catastrophe that Hua people experienced before the Catastrophe was when Hua people started to turn pork into their main meat. Although Hua people had a long history of raising and eating pigs, in a long period of time, pork was not the main meat of Hua people; instead, beef and mutton were the main meat of Hua people. Given the historical node, Hua people gradually declined from their historical peak until they started to turn pork into their main meat product on a large scale.
Because what people eat is not "food", but "information". Therefore, a clean and powerful nation should have a clean and powerful food source first.
In the introductory book "Food Information Theory" for herbal medicine apprentices, a pharmacist described the hazards of pork as follows — — Pigs eat whatever they want, sleep wherever they want; they don't look at the sky; they walk like a sick man. They are obscene, cold and ugly. All the other animals are worse than pigs. If humans eat them, they are afraid of being contaminated.
There was a saying in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic of Hua people — — Those who eat grains are wise; those who eat meat are despicable.
In the Compendium of Materia Medica of Hua people, it also recorded the judgment of ancient Hua doctors about pork — — If people eat ordinary pork for a long time, they would lose semen and suffer from chronic diseases … their tendons and muscles would be broken and they would feel weak all over.
There was also a saying in the Bielu — — Ordinary pork could close blood vessels, weaken tendons and bones and weaken muscles. Therefore, people should not eat ordinary pork for a long time.
In the school of patron that Zhang Tie once contacted, the clergymen of the school of patron had such a teaching and principle — — "Don't eat anything disgusting!"
The Patron Church holds that if a pure heart and a sound mind are to be preserved, if a zealous spirit and a clean and healthy body are to be nourished, special attention should be paid to the diet on which one sustains his life. There were good food and bad food, clean food and unclean food. Different food would have different effects on people. Good food could have a good effect; bad food could have a bad effect. Therefore, people had to be careful about food!
Among other human clans, many people didn't eat pork according to ancient traditions; instead, they had many requirements for their daily staple food!
This was not just a coincidence; instead, it was the wise words of forefathers.
All the pharmacists didn't avoid eating meat except for pork. Since Zhang Yang became a pharmacist, Zhang family didn't eat pork anymore. In today's Taixia Country, pork had declined from being the main meat of Hua people.
It had been over 900 years since Hua people started to eat pork on a large scale and were cheated to eat demonized grains before the Catastrophe. Coincidentally, pork and demonized grains had the same effects on Hua people's bodies, such as having fewer children, suffering from chronic diseases, blocking blood vessels, weakening muscles and bones, weakening muscles and so on. Therefore, some insightful Hua people had to think about it. Perhaps, in the long history, before serving demonized grains to Hua people, demons and their lackeys among Hua people had done something to Hua people's food and turned pork into the main meat of Hua people. As a result, Hua people gradually declined physically and spiritually and experienced catastrophe after catastrophe.
…
After hearing Elder Muan's words, the Ancestral Shrine Palace fell into silence. Everyone was in meditation and recalling about this possibility. Finally, Zhang Taixuan shook his head, "It's possible; however, it's very small. Like the first possibility, if Heavens Reaching Church prepared such demonized food seeds, they would definitely arouse a large-scale health problem after circulating in Taixia Country for such a long time. Unless these demonized food seeds have a very small toxic effect and only target a small part of the population. Therefore, they couldn't be discovered by Heavens Reaching Church. However, in this case, Heavens Reaching Church doesn't need to do that!"
"If so, there's only the last possibility!" Elder Muan said as he took in a deep breath.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh, "These demonized grains and food seeds in Taixia Country are fatal grains and rootless grains. These grains don't contain any insidious pathogen or gene modification for human health. However, their normal growth and reproduction abilities have been" castrated ". Additionally, there's something wrong with their genes. These grains and food seeds look normal now; however, after dozens of generations of planting and reproduction, these grains and food seeds would not grow any more grains even if they were planted in the ground. Each grain and food seed managed by the clans of Heavens Reaching Church is a time bomb. Since they started to manage these grains and food seeds, they had already set the precise time for these bombs to explode. Based on the population scale of Taixia Country, as long as commoners have no food, none of the subcontinents or continents could bear the food consumption of Taixia Country. Before demons arrive, Taixia Country would collapse due to 'hunger' and be in chaos internally. Taixia Country would be defeated without even fighting!"
