Kunlun one millet

The Eternal Green Sacred Tree stands towering in the sky, and its roots, as huge as a hill, spread wantonly. The Goddess walks barefoot among them, and the singing of praises from the shrine's witches can be faintly heard from a distance——

"There are trees that are auspicious and the branches are numerous, and the fragrant leaves carry the wind and the veins are written. The principles of the dissection are to show the people, and the peace is to be reported to the king. ..."

The ancient and distant eulogy echoed among the branches and leaves, and the pure faith and vows condensed into bits of light visible to the naked eye, constantly nourishing the eternal green tree.

The wind blows from all directions for no reason, blowing the branches and leaves, and the goddess senses that the divine tree connects the heaven and the earth, and infinite opportunities for change gather here.It is so vast and mysterious that even immortals with long-term vision dare not claim to be able to grasp it all at a glance.

The goddess stopped, and instinctively raised her hand as a false move, and a leaf fell into her palm from thousands of branches.

Looking at the veins of the leaves, the goddess remained silent for a long time, and then leaped towards the periphery, her movements were vigorous and light, leaving a little emerald green light under her feet and behind her, like a psychic transformation of vegetation into a graceful woman.

The Goddess came all the way to the outlying huts. The Yongcui Temple did not have towering and luxurious buildings. Even the man-made objects were well integrated with the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Great witch Zhu, the high priest just sent a message and said that he has something important to discuss." A shrine witch said respectfully.

After the marriage between Shengsi Valley and Yongcui Temple, the goddess was also given the title of Great Witch Zhu, to show that she was on an equal footing with the high priest, and the couple jointly ruled the Jiuli Kingdom.Now the high priest Li Chun is in charge of the army, and the goddess is in charge of domestic government affairs.

The folk customs in southern Kunlun are different. In many tribes, the heroine is in power, and it only depends on whether the person is worthy of the big responsibility. Therefore, the high priest and the goddess share the power, and no one in Jiuli finds it difficult to accept it.

"I see." The goddess waved her hand to let the other witches retreat, and went to the depths of the Yongcui Temple by herself, and found several pieces of bark and boards with various strange patterns engraved on them. The goddess took the leaves in her hand and Comparing it, it took a while to decipher some meanings.

"Strange." The goddess was a little puzzled, and then she flicked her fingers at the night owl next to her, and asked, "Are you listening?"

Li Chun's voice was heard from the vividly carved night owl, with a unique echo: "I am here, is it possible that the sacred tree is warning again?"

The goddess smiled and said, "How did you guess that?"

"It's only when the Divine Tree warns you that you haven't responded for a long time." Li Chun replied.

"Indeed." The goddess carefully looked at the veins of the leaves in her hand: "Guess what warning the sacred tree issued this time?"

"Could it be that Zhao Mi is going to come to the front line to fight with me?" Li Chun said with a smile, and also concealed a little bit of eagerness.

"The warning from the Divine Tree will not be so clear." The goddess explained: "But the Divine Tree did mention that you will face danger."

"It doesn't need to be said by the sacred tree, anyone knows it." Li Chunyan said: "I am at the front line right now, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides have already clashed many times. How can the battlefield not be dangerous?"

"If it is nonsense that everyone knows, the sacred tree will not warn for no reason." The goddess said: "The warning leaf book also suggested that you return to Yongcui Temple, so that it can be preserved."

"Return to Yongcui Temple?" Li Chun was puzzled: "Let me leave the front line at this time, no one is in the middle to dispatch the army, I am afraid that the front line will collapse immediately."...

"Of course I know!" The goddess was a little annoyed: "I'm worried that someone will deal with the sacred tree!"

"Who?" Li Chun was immediately alert.

"I don't know, and the sacred tree didn't give a clear warning." The goddess said.

Li Chun's sigh came from the withering of the night owl wood: "If you care about it, you will be in chaos. As the great witch Zhu who enshrines the sacred tree of Yongcui, and is responsible for interpreting the warning leaf book of the sacred tree, isn't it the most taboo to be selfish?"

"Do you think my interpretation is wrong?" the goddess asked.

"I'm not questioning you, but even if I return to the Yongcui Temple right now, it will be useless at all." Li Chunyan said: "In the current Jiuli Kingdom, besides me, who else can command this army? If I am not on the front line, I cannot Control the situation. Returning to Yongcui Temple may be preserved as the sacred tree said, but once the front line is defeated, facing the huge army of Xiong Kingdom, what is the use of me sticking to Yongcui Temple?"

The goddess said: "You should be clear that all your mana now benefits from the gift of the Eternal Emerald Sacred Tree. If the Sacred Tree gets sick, you will be beaten back to your original shape immediately."

"Isn't the Yongcui Temple still home to mountain ghosts and wooden guests who have lived in seclusion for many years? They never show up at ordinary times. Once foreign enemies invade and intend to harm the sacred tree, they will kill the invading enemies without thinking about their own lives." Li Chun is quite confident. : "If the Eternal Emerald Tree really only relies on the ability to predict good and bad, it won't stand for a long time."

"I'm just inexplicably uneasy." The goddess couldn't persuade Li Chun, maybe it was just a whim.

"The great war has begun. You, I, the Evergreen Sacred Tree, and even the Nine Li Kingdom share weal and woe. Anyone would be flustered. It's not your fault." Li Chun said.

The goddess sighed silently, looking at a warning leaf book in her hand. In fact, in the long history of the past, there were many cases of unpredictable good and bad, and the people involved were caught in a dilemma.

Just like when the Tianxia Dynasty aggressively opened up the southern land, all Yongcui Temple could do was to stay out of it in order to protect itself.

But now that the Holy Valley and the Yongcui Temple are married, facing the Xiong Kingdom's attack, the Yongcui Temple cannot avoid it. Once the Jiuli Kingdom is defeated, both the Yongcui Temple and the sacred tree will be implicated.

"What's the situation on the front line now?" the goddess asked, trying to ease the restlessness in her heart.

"You Xiong Kingdom deserves to be the most powerful of the Kunlun Five Kingdoms." Li Chun's tone was a little heavy: "Three routes of soldiers and horses marched side by side, with a total of more than [-] people, and it is difficult for me to relax for a moment. Xiong Guo abandoned the Qianji Pavilion and abandoned those ingenious creations, pottery figurines and iron figurines."

"Didn't you send envoys to Yaochi Kingdom to make an appointment with King Baixiang to send troops together?" The goddess was puzzled: "Didn't he fulfill the agreement?"

"It's just a private covenant. If he doesn't fulfill it, I can't force it." Li Chun said, "I just hope that King Baixiang won't be too stupid. Once my Jiuli Kingdom falls, it will be his turn next! Xiong Kingdom will send a A Zhao millet, in collusion with Chi Yundu, ruined the country of Hua Xu and ruined it for a day! They will definitely attack all directions next."

"I didn't expect Zhao Mi to come back from the dead." The goddess thought to herself, the Evergreen Sacred Tree didn't discover this secret, could it be that he was beyond his control?
"The resurrection from the dead is a lie. In the final analysis, it is the intervention of an expert who rescued him from Difei Mountain." Li Chun immediately made a judgment: "After more than ten years of retreat, he will not leave until he has made great progress in his cultivation. Guan, the intention is very clear, and Shang Jingzong must have been involved in it."...

The goddess was puzzled: "What is Shang Jingzong's purpose in rescuing Zhao Mi?"

"What other purpose is there? It is nothing more than to use him to restore the inheritance of the Tianxia Dynasty's praise officials." Li Chun sneered a few times: "The people I sent to the Emperor's Capital reported that almost all the teachings and teachings of the praise department have been streamlined. Later, they made a big deal of cultivating ceremonial officials and appointed them to various places. The intention couldn’t be more obvious. Some Xiong Kingdom believed that they were continuing the orthodoxy of the Tianxia Dynasty, and they had to imitate everything.”

The goddess said: "If you talk about the authenticity of the ceremonial officer's inheritance, you are not inferior to Zhao Mi, right? I remember that your ancestors were the first batch of people in the southern land to follow the ceremonial officer to study scientific rituals and rituals. After that, they guarded the Shengsi Valley Huode Temple for generations. "

"That's why I decided that Xiongguo will definitely send Zhao Mi to compete with me, and only Zhao Mi can be my opponent." Li Chun is very confident: "Zhao Mi is indeed proficient in scientific rituals, but he is far from what he is now. There are countless dead souls in the nether world, all of whom are soldiers under my command, even the Tianxia Dynasty Zanguan who holds the twelve earthly branch orders, is just like a chicken and a dog in front of me."

"Don't forget, this is the merit of the sacred tree!" The goddess reminded with a smile.

"Of course I won't forget." Li Chun also laughed loudly: "I promised you that in the future you and my son will be the Lord of Kunlun!"

While thinking about the future, the goddess said, "It's a pity that all the thirty-six god-killing nails were used to deal with Liang Tao back then. If some of them can be left behind, they may be a sharp weapon to destroy Zhao Mi's ritual."

"It doesn't matter, the evil soldiers made from the remains of several demon gods also have similar magical effects." Li Chun said: "In addition, you will remind the remaining demon gods in person, if you still want to keep the remaining blood food offerings, just be obedient Help us fight the enemy on the front line."

"I understand, I will leave later." The goddess replied.

……

Zhao Mi slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he was sitting upright in the wilderness, surrounded by vines and green radishes like a house, isolating the torrential rain just now.

Looking at the puddles formed by the heavy rain not far away, Zhao Shu concentrated his breath and stood up silently. Surrounded by sparsely populated jungles, the ground was either the roots of big trees competing for the soil, or piled up. Years of deciduous humus, almost no flat footing.

At this moment, Zhao Mi is dressed in old kudzu hemp and short brown, with straw shoes on his feet, a wooden stick in his hand, and a rattan basket on his back.

After a secret discussion with Han Yuanzi and He Qingchen, Zhao Mi made some arrangements and went to Jiuli Kingdom alone without bringing anyone.

Although there are now nearly [-] soldiers from Xiong Jiuli and the two countries on the border, and the front line of the battlefield stretches for hundreds of miles. There are large and small battles almost every day, and scouts and scouts come and go frequently, but this does not hinder Zhao Shu's southward pursuit in the slightest. Footsteps, no one could even notice that Zhao Mi passed by quietly.

Considering that the sacred tree of Yongcui is likely to have roots connected to the earth and branches connected to the sky, Zhao Mi did not dare to fly into the sky, but just measured the earth with his legs all the way, just like ordinary people, without showing mountains and dews.

Although he didn't fly into the sky, with Zhao Shu's cultivation base, he was still able to run day and night without drinking or eating.Without the encumbrance of a large army, Zhao Mi moved quickly by himself, and reached the depths of the southern soil within ten days. …

Going south all the way, Zhao Mi saw the customs of Jiuli Kingdom with his own eyes.Even if Li Chun picked up the old Tianxia system again and planned to set up prefectures and counties in Jiuli Kingdom, the biggest obstacle when it came to fruition was the lack of sufficient officials to appoint.

The officials of some newly established counties and counties are either Li Chun's own cronies, and most of them do not understand the local people's sentiments. Can suppress chaos.

If the local tribal tycoon was directly appointed as the official, it would be the same as before. Although he was called an official, he was actually a tyrant, a barbarian, and there was no change.

In Zhao Mi's view, even if the Xiong Kingdom conquered the Jiuli Kingdom, it would still be very difficult to change this situation.The Nanman tribe was divided by mountains and rivers, and in the long past it was also a small country with few people.

Moreover, due to the poor farming and the lack of expensive products, there is no such thing as a happy life where chickens and dogs hear each other and never communicate with each other. Neighboring tribes attack and kill each other, plunder land, water, forests and hunting grounds, and even rob each other as slaves. It's all common.

As for those humanoid savages, they have been reduced to a level of ignorance that is almost spiritually undeveloped. Killing and cannibalism is regarded as normal, no different from wild animals.

As He Qingchen said, Li Chun would not have been able to achieve what he is doing today if the Tianxia Dynasty hadn't opened up borders in a big way in the past, brought the southern land into its territory, and tried to implement various laws and regulations.

Even if things are difficult to handle, and even after hundreds of years, there has been only a little progress, but in the long run, this kind of progress is slowly advancing with an irreversible momentum.

Walking in the vast and almost uncultivated mountains, forests and lakes in the south, Zhao Mi felt the traces left by the good fortune of heaven and earth in the years, experienced the vicissitudes of life, and silently deduced it in his heart.

Zhao Mi discovered that the soil in the south of Kunlun is humid and warm, and the vegetation naturally flourishes. The biggest difficulty for the local commoners in farming is to compete for land with the ever-growing vegetation.

Most of the low-lying and flat lands are contiguous lakes and swamps, not only are there few places to stay, but also have accumulated rot for a long time, which is preferred by Gu insects and miasma, and it is difficult for humans and animals to live for a long time.Therefore, most of the people in the southern land live on the slopes between the mountains and lakes, which is equivalent to being trapped in a narrow boundary, which is difficult to stretch up and down.

In fact, there are several counties in the south of Xiong Kingdom, and the situation is similar to that of Jiuli Kingdom.As far as Zhao Shu knew, He Qingchen ordered the local officials to teach the people how to cultivate water fields with fire, reclaim fields around lakes, and also asked the government to prepare farm tools and cattle, which was a lot of trouble.

It's not that Zhao Mi underestimated He Qingchen's approach, but if there is no significant change in the energy of heaven and earth, the situation in Nantu may not be reversed by manpower and diligence alone.

It's just that for Zhao Shu, who personally reversed the climate of half of the eastern land, changing the climate of the southern land is not completely unimaginable.

But before doing this kind of thing, Zhao Mi dare not be negligent. He needs to have a good understanding of the nature of the world, such as the mountains, rivers, water, soil, animals and plants in the South. Instead of simply exhausting the world and nature for people to use.

Let your body and mind understand the good fortune of the world all the way, deduce the changes of the past and the present, aimlessly at your feet, climb over the mountains, cross the lakes, and finally cross a forest, and suddenly see the light in front of you.

What Zhao Mi saw in front of him at this moment was a flat wilderness that could not be seen. Weeds were overgrown on the ground, and there were not many tall trees. There were a few streams winding down from the mountain, which seemed to converge into lakes in the distance.

Suddenly there was a feeling in the dark, Zhao Mi found that this place had a sliver of fate with him, and he understood it in a flash——

"It turns out that the star of the year finally landed here."
