"What's going on? Why is the scarecrow crying?" "That's impossible. I've never seen a scarecrow crying before. They've always been very cheerful. As long as they have work to do and food for them to guard, they will be very happy. Now, the crops are obviously full of fruits and are about to be harvested. Why are they crying? "
"Something's not right. Quickly inform the officials to come and investigate."
Seeing the abnormality of the scarecrow outside the city, countless commoners were astonished. One must know that in the past few decades, they had never seen a scarecrow like this. It was completely beyond their imagination. Something must have happened. Something big had happened.
Very quickly, the city sent people to investigate.
They asked the scarecrow, but the scarecrow only cried. One by one, they ran around the spiritual fields, looking at the spiritual grains and touching the spiritual plants. Their faces were filled with grief.
Their hearts were in so much pain that they couldn't even speak.
"Quickly, report the situation. I feel that something big is going to happen. "
The City Lord personally went out to investigate, but he couldn't find the reason. He immediately communicated with his colleagues and the other City Lords through the Heavenly Star Watch. They discovered that similar situations were happening in other Immortal Cities. This wasn't the only special situation in their Immortal Cities. It was happening on a large scale. It was even spreading.
Faced with such a situation, a large number of City Lords jointly submitted a memorial.
At the same time, they tried their best to communicate with the scarecrow.
"It's sick. The spiritual grains are dying."
"The food is running out. The spiritual fields are sick. "
The scarecrow only said a few words. Then, it was completely immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere. It kept circling the rice fields. The sadness on its body was almost impossible to resolve.
The memorial was extremely urgent. It appeared in front of Yi Tianxing almost immediately. There weren't just one or two of these memorials. Instead, there were thousands and thousands of these memorials. They continuously gathered from all directions.
"The scarecrow is crying. There's something wrong with the spiritual plants and spiritual grains in the rice fields. The scarecrow said that all the crops in the spiritual fields are sick."
A solemn expression appeared on Yi Tianxing's face.
Once there was a problem with the crops, it would be a huge problem for Da Yi's food reserves. There were too many people in Great Yi. The amount of food they consumed every day was huge. Most of it was spirit rice. The demand for spirit rice was huge. Everyone in Great Yi cultivated on ordinary food, which was only enough to keep them warm. However, in order to aid in cultivation, they had to eat spirit rice. Part of the cultivation of spirit rice came from the spiritual fields that Great Yi cultivated outside the immortal cities. The other part came from the cultivation of spirit rice in Great Yi's Qian Kun Cave Abode. A portion of it was planted in the Cloud World of Xuanhuang Immortal City, and another portion was planted in the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Emperor Pagoda.
As for the spirit rice planted in the pagoda, most of it was stored and not released to the outside world on a large scale. This was to maintain a degree of control over the price of the people's livelihood. This was a strategic resource. It was easy to control the price and have absolute control over the people's livelihood.
This was a trump card that could not be taken out easily.
Now, there were problems in the spirit fields of all the immortal cities. The scarecrows were all crying and saying that the crops in the spirit fields were sick. Once they were sick, it would obviously spread. If it spread to the whole of Da Yi, the consequences would be no small matter. Who knew how many people who planted the spirit plants would suffer great economic losses. In that case, Da Yi's situation would be greatly affected.
If the people's hearts were unstable, the entire country would be unstable.
This was absolutely not allowed.
When the crops in the spirit fields fell ill, people would fall ill. Naturally, animals and plants would fall ill as well.
Furthermore, there were some diseases that were extremely ferocious and terrifying. They spread at an astonishing speed. Once they appeared, it would be a large-scale disaster. Even if the disease appeared on crops, it would be a plague on humans and a plague on crops. It would be a plague on spirit plants.
Now that a large number of people were falling sick, it was conceivable that the impact on the people's livelihood would be huge.
Memorials were handed over one by one, each representing a problem with a spirit field in an immortal city.
"Summon Song Yingxing."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Yes, Holy King."
Someone immediately went to pass the message. Soon, Song Yingxing arrived at Knowledge Execution Hall.
Song Yingxing was now the dean of the Agrarian School in the Undying School. He had nurtured many outstanding Agrarian students and collected many Agrarian arts. He had also nurtured all sorts of spirit rice. His contribution to Da Yi was unimaginable.
"Holy King, you summoned me here because of the large number of sick spirit plants in Da Yi."
Song Yingxing looked at Yi Tianxing and bowed. He spoke quickly and didn't beat around the bush. With his status, he naturally got the news from various channels as soon as possible when there was a problem with the spiritual fields. If there was a problem with the spirit plants and he, the dean of the Agrarian School, didn't know about it, then it would be a huge joke.
"Indeed, according to the memorials sent by the immortal cities, the epidemic this time isn't limited to just one or two cities. It covers most of the regions. Vast Sea, Bohai Sea, Caribbean Sea, etc. The same situation has occurred in the five great realms. The scarecrows are crying, but the spirit plants don't seem to have any abnormalities. They're still growing. As for the specifics, Subject Song will have to go investigate and solve it. "
Yi Tianxing nodded and said solemnly.
"Holy King, this humble subject boldly speculates that this is a plague targeting the spirit plants. The scarecrows guard the spirit fields. This is their innate nature from the moment they were born. They are close to the spirit plants in the fields. Since the scarecrows said that the plants in the fields were sick and crying, there might be some error if there was only one or two. But there were countless scarecrows doing this at the same time. The possibility of an epidemic is very high. It's already ninety percent. This humble subject suggests that all the immortal cities immediately activate the barriers and seal the cities to stop the spread of the epidemic. There's the Universe Cave Abode in the cities. There are also fertile fields in the cave abode, and all kinds of spirit plants are planted there. I don't know if it's too late to do this, but the necessary defense still needs to be carried out. "
Song Yingxing already felt a trace of bad haze in his heart. This feeling was extremely strong, as if there were dark clouds shrouding his body and mind.
There was even a feeling that sealing the cities now wouldn't have any effect.
"Mm, according to the memorials, the Universe Cave Abode has already suffered the same situation. We specially let the scarecrows into the Universe Cave Abode, but they're still crying. There's no use in sealing the cities now. Memorials are being sent here from all over. According to the secret reports, there aren't any exceptions in the five great realms. "
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said.
This didn't start from one region, but once it erupted, it covered all of Da Yi's realms and territories. The speed of development was too fast, and the speed of its spread was too fast. There was no need to seal the cities anymore. This was targeted at the crops, not the people. If there were really losses, it had already become an established reality and couldn't be changed.
"If that's the case, this humble subject requests to immediately lead the students of the Agricultural College to the various immortal cities to investigate the situation. I wonder if the same epidemic has occurred in Xuanhuang Immortal City."
Song Yingxing's expression tightened as he asked.
"No, we haven't found anything strange in Xuanhuang Immortal City. All the scarecrows are also normal."
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said. He had just asked Fairy Ruyi about it. Whether it was the Universe Cave Abode in the city or the major cloud realms, there was no such situation. 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 about, there was no way to enter Xuanhuang Immortal City. After all, this was not an ordinary immortal city, but a true supreme divine artifact, the Eternal Sky Ship, which was also the holy city of the Yun Dynasty.
"That's good. Holy King, before we can find out the cause of these crops and how they spread, this humble subject suggests that Xuanhuang Immortal City temporarily hide and not expose itself to the outside world to avoid any accidents."
Song Yingxing suggested.
Nothing could go wrong with Xuanhuang Castle. Once something went wrong, it would be a huge problem. Chaos could happen anywhere, but not in the holy city.
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with Xuanhuang Castle. Go to the 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 solve this problem this time. "
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said decisively.
Xuanhuang Castle had the mysterious characteristics of Seamless. It was in a mysterious state at all times, as if it was isolated from the world. It was never easy to find a loophole.
Song Yingxing did not say anything more. After leaving the Holy King Palace, he immediately went to the Immortal Academy and brought all the students of the Agricultural College out. He directly took the Rainbow Bridge and appeared in an immortal city called Harvest City.
The area where this immortal city was located was fertile, and the surrounding area was very suitable for planting. After gathering the spirit veins of heaven and earth, the surrounding area was constantly producing spirit fields. There were large amounts of all kinds of spirit plants, spirit rice, spirit vegetables, etc. The quality of the spirit rice produced here was better than most of the other immortal cities. It was quite famous in Da Yi.
After Song Yingxing and the others appeared, the city lord was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly led them out of the city. The moment they walked out, they immediately heard the scarecrow crying. A sorrowful aura spread in the air.
Looking at the spirit fields.
What was planted was a type of high-grade spirit rice, emerald rice. It was incomparably green, and legend had it that it was bred from an emerald jade vein. It absorbed the essence of the emerald jade, and it could mature in a year. The spirit rice it produced was emerald green, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye. When eaten, it was crisp and tasty, and it was extremely nourishing. Grade - Extreme grade mystic class.
Of course, it wasn't that the spirit rice didn't reach the earth grade, but the higher the grade, the longer the growth period would be. In terms of efficiency, the mystic class was naturally higher.
"Teacher, this Emerald Rice doesn't look abnormal. It doesn't look like it's sick."
A student dressed like a farmer frowned and said.
