The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 166 Ghost Emperor Cave in Dading Mountain
Kaiyang Prefecture.

outside the city.

On the originally endless farmland, there are many one-meter-high cactus.

Zhang Heng brought people over to check.

As far as the eye can see, where there are cacti growing, there is no grass within five meters, and the crops that originally grew are all withered and yellow.

"Leader, you see."

The preacher of Kaiyang Prefecture is an overseas Taoist elder attached to him.

His surname is Gong, in his early sixties, with a sparse head, short and fat, and looks very pleasing: "Although these cacti are only one meter high, their rhizomes go deep into the ground and spread across a radius of several meters."

Elder Gong ordered someone to dig out a cactus.

Zhang Heng took a closer look and found that the root system of this cactus is extremely developed. A one-meter-high cactus can grow several meters long roots underground. Wherever cactus grows, whether it is crops or weeds, even if it is a big tree, It is also inferior to it in competing for nutrients.

In this way, if a cactus grows here, the soil nutrients within a few meters can only be absorbed by it alone. Without the supply of nutrients, the crops will naturally have to wither and turn yellow.

"Is it okay to dig up a cactus seedling when it is found, so that it does not have time to grow up and destroy the crop?"

Zhang Heng walked around the field and asked Elder Gong.

"This method is feasible, but it only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause."

Elder Gong replied truthfully: "These cactus seeds come with the wind, and when they fall on the ground, they will take root, and you can't see it at first.

After it germinates, it only takes about five days for it to grow from a seedling to a height of one meter. At that time, even if the cactus is dug away, the fertility in the land will be absorbed and there will be very little left. Time can't be recovered at all.

What's more, it is basically impossible for the seeds to germinate and be found immediately.

When they grow up and cause disasters, it will be too late to find out. "

hiss!
Zhang Heng took a deep breath.

It only takes five days from germination to growth, and it can grow [-] centimeters in a day, and it can also absorb all the nutrients in the land within a few meters.

This cactus is domineering enough.

The one-horned ghost king's treasure is useless in the Chiyou Realm, because the ghost realm is barren and doesn't grow anything.

But in the human world, this rare treasure has the ability to cholera all living beings and kill all living beings in a world.

After all, cacti are poisonous and neither humans nor animals can eat them.

Moreover, the growth rate is fast, and the reproductive ability is amazing. Where it grows, nothing else grows.

As long as time permits, it will spread to all states and counties in the entire Huangtu Realm. There will be no crops, only inedible cacti, and ordinary people may starve to death.

"Do these cacti have any natural enemies?"

Zhang Heng asked again.

"Yes, I'm afraid of cold and water."

"In cold places, cacti will not germinate, and they don't like places with a lot of water. There are no traces of cactus near some water marshes and lakes. It is expected that if there is too much water in the soil, it will be waterlogged to death."

After listening.

Zhang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

It is good to have shortcomings, which shows that cactus still talks about science, not just talking about fantasy.

It's just that Zhang Heng didn't wait to be happy, Elder Gong's next sentence made him feel cold again: "The seven continents in the north are not comparable to the six states in the south. There are few lakes and big rivers here, and the water sources are far less abundant than in the south. It’s an excellent place to grow, and it’s probably impossible to rely on the power of nature to destroy it.”

Zhang Heng nodded silently.

There is little rain in the north, and there is no rain for three to five days or even ten days and a half months in the south.

It is expected that cactus is afraid of water, and an ordinary rain does not pose any threat to it.

Even in winter.

The cacti were frozen to death, and other plants did not bloom and bear fruit in winter.

After winter is over and spring comes, the cacti will resurgence again, and they will fall into the last cycle. People still can't grow crops, unless they work twice a day in the morning and evening, and take care of the ground all the time. When they see cacti breaking through the ground, they will pull them out. come out.

But in this case, a family of five, ten acres of land, two during the day and three at night, taking care of them 24 hours a day, will die of exhaustion in the field sooner or later.

"Have you found any trace of the one-horned ghost emperor?"

The cactus didn't pop up for no reason, they came from Yibao in the hands of the one-horned ghost emperor, thousands of miles of yellow sand and a little bit of green.

Zhang Heng pondered.

If he wanted to get rid of these cacti, he had to start with Yi Bao in the hands of the One-horned Ghost Emperor.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to stop the flood of cacti with manpower. Not to mention, looking back, the one-horned ghost emperor was upset, and urged Yi Bao again, and hundreds of millions of seeds were scattered with the wind, and there were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cacti Flowering everywhere, the source is in the hands of others, and it is useless to cure it.

"Everyone let it go."

"I know where the one-horned ghost emperor is!"

Without waiting for Elder Gong to answer.

Among the crowd watching the excitement, there was a black boy who stepped forward.

"Black person?"

Zhang Heng was stunned.

The people in Huangtu's world are all out-and-out yellow people. Where did this Kunlun slave come from?
"What black man, I am a warrior from Dading Mountain!"

The black guy looked at himself while talking: "Are you saying that I am dark? I work all day, so I got a little tanned. Don't judge people by their appearance, I am very powerful."

No matter what Zhang Heng thinks, this is all a scapegoat, Kunlun slave.

When the sun shines, the black shines brightly.

However, thinking of Zhang Song, who was not good in appearance, and Pang Tong, who was hideous in appearance, Zhang Heng still said kindly: "You said you are a warrior, do you have evidence?"

The black boy patted his chest immediately and said: "I am a ghost controller, and the ghost I control is different from what you know. What I control is a beast ghost who knows the words of all beasts."

"I came from Dading Mountain because of the one-horned ghost emperor. It occupied my hometown and ate several of my beast friends."

"I can't fight it. I have no choice but to come to Zhoucheng for help."

"Seeing you going in and out of the crowd, you stood upright at that stop, while the others hunched their shoulders and looked cautious. Guess, you are the big man that the village chief said, right?"

Uh.
Zhang Heng looked at the people around him.

Shoulders hunched, face full of restraint, isn't it that exaggerated?
At first glance, it turned out not bad.

Zhang Heng stood in the middle with his hands behind his back, like a song: You stand in the middle of thousands of people and feel the glory.

As for the others, they gathered around with fawning faces and divided them into ranks and ranks.

Those with high status can get closer to Zhang Heng, while those with low status can only apologize behind the scenes, full of flattery.

"alright."

Zhang Heng is from here.

It is very clear that when a single word from one person can determine the rise and fall and fate of another person, the two cannot be equal.

Not to mention Elder Gong, but some uncles with distant relations on Maoshan Mountain, now they all speak honorifics when they see him, and those who don't know think he is an elder.

"You said you came from Dading Mountain, but the one-horned ghost emperor is hiding in Dading Mountain?"

Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes, the one-horned ghost emperor found a cave on Dading Mountain and lived in it."

While talking, the black guy didn't forget to add: "I met that ghost emperor face to face, found out some of his old background, and found that he has two hobbies and one talent."

"He likes to drink and bet with people."

"After my beast friends were eaten by him, I didn't know what it did, so I wanted to seek revenge from it."

"It turns out that it has the ability to transform, and it can become as small as dust and as big as a mountain."

"Fortunately, it drank a few more glasses that day, and was in a good mood. It could drink a few more jugs of wine when it gambled with me. In the end, I slipped away while it was drunk, otherwise I might be caught by it just like those beast companions Let's eat it in one bite."

Listen to each sentence.

Zhang Heng whispered: "Big and small, this is the law of heaven and earth, right?"

Among the 72 changes in Taoism, there is a change called Fatianxiangdi. Every time it becomes bigger, it can increase its ability by one point, and if it doubles in size, it can double its ability.

The one-horned ghost king can become as big as a hill.

It seems that this technique of heaven and earth is an introduction, but I don't know where it learned it from, or it may be out of the ordinary, and I have never learned the technique of transformation, but I have awakened my natal supernatural power.

No matter it is the first item, there is a teacher's inheritance and the ability to learn.

It is the second item, following the extraordinary, awakening the supernatural powers of life.

It all indicates that the one-horned ghost emperor is not a soft persimmon, and his overall strength is probably top-notch among the twelve monsters.

"You said it likes drinking and gambling?"

"Yes, when I saw it, there were several empty wine jars beside it, and it was full of alcohol. If you pull me, you will make a bet with me."

What the black guy said was categorical.

Hear this.

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Do you dare to go back to Dading Mountain again and take me to the cave of the One-horned Ghost Emperor?"

"Since I became a ghost slayer, I have been with wild beasts all day long. If the one-horned ghost emperor eats them, he eats my relatives." The black guy patted his chest: "I am not at odds with him. I wish I could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin." , Is there anything you dare not say."

"it is good!"

Zhang Heng praised: "It is said that more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, you black man, you look ugly, but you can sacrifice your life for your friends in the mountains and wild beasts, but you are also a man of temperament.

If this happens, I will seal you as the number one warrior in Kaiyang Prefecture, and set up a temple for your beast friend, and it will last forever, so you can rest assured. "

Hei boy didn't say much after hearing that, he just said: "The one-horned ghost emperor is very powerful, I lead you there, not to kill you, what do you want to prepare?"

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I have already made up my mind, you can lead the way with peace of mind."
