Chapter 357 Fragrant Honey 2
Chapter 357 Fragrant Honey 2
Jiang Xinxin really didn't expect that it has been ten years since the flowers began to bloom. She racked her brains to recall where she had seen such a plot so that she could find the right remedy to resolve the crisis as soon as possible. After all, the failure of flowers to bloom is not only about to lead to the extinction of the human race, but also the extinction of many plants and animals. Such a heinous sin and cause and effect is not something that any god can bear.
The Qingyun Sect was originally a major sect for cultivating immortals, but now there are not many disciples left. Even the hundreds of mountains that used to be there are only a dozen left. But even so, it still cannot protect its disciples for long.
After listening to the old sect master's narration, Jiang Xinxin could only sigh in her heart. She respectfully took the seeds that were well protected by spiritual power handed over by the old sect master. Her throat choked and she could not say anything.
In fact, she had a hunch that she could use her spiritual power to create plants that could bloom, but this was undoubtedly a travesty.
Jiang Xinxin still started to grow the wheat in her hands in front of the old sect leader and a dozen peak masters. A dozen elderly people held their breath, hoping that a miracle would happen in Jiang Xinxin's hands, but at the same time they couldn't help comforting themselves that failure was the norm and they shouldn't bring any psychological burden to Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin's induction of labor was of course very successful. Everyone watched with great surprise as the dozen or so grains of wheat in her hand sprouted, grew leaves, grew taller, headed, bloomed, bore fruit, and matured. The old sect leader tried his best to adjust his breathing, took out seven or eight grains of wheat from the storage bag, and tried it himself. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't make the wheat bloom and bear fruit.
The old master let out a long breath, his eyes burning but he hesitated before speaking, "My Lord, look..."
Jiang Xinxin said without hesitation: "I understand what you mean, Daoist friend. I have a lot of good seeds here, some of which can bear fruit without blooming. I will take them out now, and I would like to ask Daoist friend to distribute them as much as possible."
Fortunately, Jiang Xinxin's space had everything she needed. She first took out the threshed rice and wheat, then thought about it and took out millet and sorghum, and then took out corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and yam.
"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and yams are all high-yielding crops, and the edible parts are the roots buried in the soil, so whether they bloom or not affects their growth and harvest. Now that it's only February, we might as well focus on these crops this year."
A group of people were crying and laughing. Even though they were cultivators with high cultivation bases and had already started fasting, in fact, the fact that plants did not bloom had a greater impact on cultivators, because cultivators needed spiritual flowers and herbs to refine various elixirs, especially cultivators with lower cultivation bases who also needed to satisfy their appetites. Therefore, there were a total of ten sects left, including Taoism and Buddhism, and there were only a hundred or so disciples left in each sect.
The ten sects together sheltered about three thousand mortals. Jiang Xinxin felt really bad when she saw the survivors who were once high and mighty, but later became numb because of this huge change, and are now picking up the spirit to farm again.
This autumn, the world finally welcomed the long-awaited harvest. Jiang Xinxin has also dyed the earth green again, and finally figured out the source of the disasters of the past decade.
It is said that one day in heaven is one year on earth. In fact, the time ratio between heaven and earth will be even more exaggerated than this. The old sect leader finally received a reply from the senior in the upper realm, and the source of the disaster on earth was directly pointed to the flower realm.
"Grandmaster said that because the Flower God passed away, the Flower Realm has set up a water mirror and used the Flower God's Order to order all flowers to keep their petals closed for ten years to pay tribute to the Flower God!"
Everyone present was filled with extreme grief and indignation, and in the end, they were left with only a feeling of powerlessness and the desire to cry but without the tears.
After all, the monks have gone through the process of refining their hearts, but the surviving mortals have not. When they learned that the human race's plight was just a memorial service after the death of the flower god from the upper realm, they looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, using the most vicious language to curse the deceased flower god and all the related gods who had caused such suffering in the world.
It's not okay to continue to break the defense like this, Jiang Xinxin simply suggested: "The human world must remember this lesson and only respect the heaven and earth from now on. If you want to pray to gods and Buddhas, you should only worship those who have made contributions to the human race."
Since cause and effect and sin have already occurred, Jiang Xinxin has no intention of continuing to create opposition. An era with gods and Buddhas everywhere will be a good era for those who are qualified to participate. But for ordinary mortals who are not qualified, a sneeze from an ordinary little god is enough for his nine clans to bear. This proposal now is just to let the survivors vent first and not to hurt their bodies.
However, mortals' execution ability is also very strong. Within just three to five days, the monks had divined an auspicious day, and led the remaining mortals to take the grain they had grown this year, and held a simple yet grand and solemn ceremony to worship heaven and earth.
At the ceremony, the monks first offered sacrifices, then performed the dance they still remembered, and finally swore together that from now on people would only worship heaven and earth and ignore the gods and Buddhas in heaven. Human beings would have their own gods and would no longer pay attention to those who stood idly by and watched the troubles of human beings or even added insult to injury.
Mortals are also living beings under the jurisdiction of Heaven. Although they are not as favored by Heaven as the gods and Buddhas, they are also a race favored by Heaven. Therefore, the flower world was immediately shocked by such an oath and the water mirror was shattered. The flower god's order that ordered all flowers to retract their stamens that day was also directly shattered. The twenty-four so-called fragrance masters of the flower world also quickly lost their spiritual power, and eventually even their original forms withered and died.
After all, the Heavenly Dao could not bear to see the flower world disappear completely, so it quickly dragged Jiang Xinxin out and made her the Green Emperor, in charge of all life. He lived in the Eastern Taihao Palace and rode the Green Dragon and Fire Phoenix as his mounts.
Not to mention the human world, even the heavens were boiling with excitement!
In the past, only the Heavenly Emperor could be addressed as the Emperor in heaven and on earth. Today, the Heavenly Emperor is still alive, but Heaven has directly appointed a person whose background no one knows as the Green Emperor. So, between the Heavenly Emperor and the Green Emperor, who should be respected?
Especially since although the Emperor of Heaven is located in the center and is represented by the North Star, he has ruled the six realms for a long time. Logically speaking, he should be the most respected.
But the Green Emperor, who lives in the east, is in charge of life, which is like strangling the lifeline of all living things. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao also says that the Green Emperor has dragons and phoenixes as mounts. The current Emperor of Heaven is the nine-clawed golden dragon, and the Queen of Heaven happens to be the fire phoenix. It is hard not to think too much.
Moreover, although Taihao Palace is said to be a heavenly palace, its actual size is no less than the heaven where the current Emperor of Heaven and all the gods live together. Moreover, this Taihao Palace was granted by Heaven, and has a much longer history than the heavenly palace originally built by the demon gods in ancient times.
The sky was filled with rosy clouds and auspicious auras descended from the sky, wrapping Jiang Xinxin in it. When the people who had just closed their eyes due to the dazzling light opened their eyes again, they saw a fairy in colorful clothes and complete jewelry standing in the clouds. Under her feet were the shadows of a swimming green dragon and soaring fire phoenixes. Everyone bowed their heads and shouted that the Green Emperor was spiritual, and their minds were filled with the idea of building a temple for him.
