Chapter 151 Locust plague? 【Please subscribe】

"Good and evil have never been the standards used to measure the order of heaven and earth. For heaven and earth, the good and evil of all living things are too insignificant. Even humanity is only a part of the world and cannot represent the whole."

Looking at Bi Yanhong's unconvinced expression, Deng Yang just smiled and didn't care.

She knew that although Bi Yanhong was born as a ghost, her perspective on everything in the world had never changed, and she was no different from many ordinary people.

But the world has never been black and white. Good and bad, good and evil, have always been just moral standards from a human perspective. Viewing the world from this perspective is naturally biased.

It is precisely because of this that most people in the world are blind, unable to see even half of the edges and corners of the road, and naturally have no access to the road.

As the saying goes: the great road is invisible and gives birth to the heaven and the earth; the great road is ruthless and moves the sun and the moon; the great road is nameless and nourishes all things. I don’t know its name, so I call it Tao!

For the order of heaven and earth, only balance and reincarnation are the eternal and unchanging main bodies, and many other details are just artificially crowned.

The laws of the movement of heaven and earth are actually not complicated, but very simple. Everything is in the Tao. It’s just that the perspective of living beings looking at things is biased, which makes it difficult to see the whole picture.

Deng Yang was also ordinary in his previous life. He didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because he was in this mountain.

There are no rules in the world. Everyone performs their own duties and does not offend each other. Most of them are rules made by humans. Why?It is nothing more than those who benefit, and most good and evil cannot escape from this norm. Nothing can escape the word profit.

However, as I pursue the path of immortality in this life, my path to enlightenment is getting higher and higher, and my perspective on everything in the world has gradually undergone a completely new change and understanding.

Although I understood some things in the past, I only understood them and could not practice them, and it was difficult to practice them. I knew them but had never experienced them, and I seemed to understand them but not understand them. But when you really experience all this, you will suddenly realize it.

In fact, it is very simple to say. The poor are full of daydreams about the lives of the rich. They have only a partial understanding and it is difficult to see the whole picture. But when they truly become rich and experience it, they will suddenly realize, "That's how it is."

It’s not that people in the world are ignorant, but they interpret the world with only a little knowledge, and even euphemistically call it: doing justice for heaven, which is simply ridiculous.

Therefore, Deng Yang did not explain too much about Bi Yanhong's dissatisfaction.

Some things need to be understood by oneself. Without experience, no matter how hard she explains it, it will only make her blind. Only by truly experiencing and realizing it can she understand and recognize it more deeply.

"Meet Master!"

While Deng Yang and Bi Yanhong were communicating quietly, Deng Qingxue's figure slowly walked into the hall.

First he glanced at Bi Yanhong, who was half-leaning beside Deng Yang, and then quickly lowered his head.

"You came just in time! What's going on with those people at the bottom of the mountain?"

Sensing Deng Qingxue's gaze, Deng Yang subconsciously straightened his expression and asked aloud.

Although he didn't care about the refugees kneeling at the foot of the mountain, it didn't mean that he wouldn't care.

After all, as the Taoist master of the five channels, even if you don't ask about everything, you still need to constantly test the abilities of the disciples in the school.

Only when the abilities of his disciples are outstanding can he be able to show off with peace of mind.

If they really don't care about anything and let them perform freely, if they are taken into a ditch, then they are asking for trouble for themselves.

The reason why he created the five-channel meridians is to train tool people so that he can work quietly. The premise of not caring about anything is that the five-channel meridians can develop according to his expectations. Therefore, the occasional exam is very useful. necessary.

"Tell Master, they have not crossed the boundary marker set by Master, so disciples cannot deal with them without permission."

"And they are not ordinary refugees, but they come here to seek help."

Looking at Deng Yang's expressionless face, Deng Qingxue couldn't help but hesitate in her heart and spoke slightly hesitantly.

"Not an ordinary refugee?"

"Tell me"

Hearing this, Deng Yang couldn't help but frown, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"As far as the disciples know, these people are from Dafang City in Liangzhou. Because the master has often gone down the mountain to practice Taoism in the past two years, these people found out about the location of the master's Taoist temple and came to ask for help."

"It is precisely because of this that the disciples cannot expel them without permission."

"I see!"

After hearing this, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Deng Yang's eyes.

Although he spent most of his time in Dingzhang Mountain in the past two years, he would occasionally go down the mountain to collect some good fruits.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the name of the Wutong lineage of Dingzhang Mountain spreads out.

"What brought them here?"

After understanding the origin of the matter, Deng Yang's eyes suddenly glowed with a sparkle.

Although he did not forget to collect the good fruits in the past two years, the effect was not very good. He went down the mountain several times in the past two years. With the good fruits collected and some that he had saved before, he could barely collect a drop of lamp oil.

It is precisely because of this low efficiency that Deng Yang is not keen on going down the mountain to collect good fruits. Most of the time, he is quiet and thoughtful, and only occasionally goes out of the mountain.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, a drop of lamp oil requires a thousand ordinary good fruits. Unless a large number of people are involved, the harvest will be very little every time.

This has nothing to do with cultivation, but with Deng Yang's lack of skills. No matter how high his cultivation level is, there is only one person, and the source of good results is not fixed. Sometimes he even runs the risk of being unable to make ends meet after a busy life.

Although he only has two or three big cats and kittens under his sect, he is still the ancestor of a religion. It is sad enough to be reduced to the human world to change people's lives and exorcise evil spirits. He also faces the risk of losing anything. How could Deng Yang be so passionate about this kind of career? stand up.

In such troubled times, if you want to collect good fruits on a large scale, you will either encounter a large-scale natural disaster or involve people with extraordinary fates. Simply collecting good fruits through ordinary means is simply an act of people who cannot make ends meet.

Of course, Deng Yang can also choose to educate sentient beings, gather refugees, arrange jobs for them, and change their destiny from then on. This is also a way to collect good results.

But it is obvious that Deng Yang does not have this ability. People's hearts are fickle, and they tend to help the urgent but not the poor. They can manage it for a while, but they cannot control it for the rest of their lives.

There is no way to get them out of their original destiny, and they will certainly not get any good rewards in return.

It is not that Deng Yang has never tried this method.

Even on the way to Dingjiang Mountain, he never hesitated to lend a helping hand to those hungry people he encountered, but he never received the slightest benefit in return.

Because Deng Yang's meal and a little money cannot change the fate of most people.

Of course, Deng Yang has done this kind of experiment many times, but it is not without success. Sometimes some unintentional actions can indeed have some good results, but the probability is too small, and the gain is simply not worth the loss.

Although Deng Yang was not short of money, he was just not short of money. He was not generous enough to throw money all the way and find a needle in a haystack.

According to this situation, Deng Yang actually thought about countless strategies in his mind.The most reliable option is to become an official, or a god, or simply occupy a state and become the king.

But no matter which one it was, after Deng Yang thought about it carefully, he found that it was not very reliable.

Not to mention being an official, as a monk from the side sect, his human destiny was not friendly to him and was detrimental to his practice.

Even if you can be an official, your power is limited, and how many people's destiny can be affected, and your destiny needs to develop in a good direction.

As the saying goes: It is easy to kill people, but difficult to save people.

There is no need to think about it for senior officials, as his name is still on the wanted list of the Demon Suppressor.

Shinto is a good choice, but he does not have the pardon from the Daqian court, so he can only be an evil god, which is not only useless, but also delays his own cultivation.

As for occupying the state as the king, there is no need to consider this at all. Deng Yang's own family knows his own affairs. If he stands behind the scenes, it is okay. If he dares to stand in the front stage, it will not be long before the immortals who are responsible for the imperial court come. Take someone else's head.

Although the ten states on the border are in chaos, every force that can become powerful must have the shadow of the Shinto behind it, or the righteous path, no matter how bad it is, it must be supported by the side sect.

Without any background, if you want to occupy territory and exercise self-control in the ten border states, you are looking for death.

As the saying goes, to go out to hang out, you must have power and background, otherwise you must have the ability to push everything. Unfortunately, Deng Yang did not have these.

"According to what the leader said, natural disasters are raging in the northern part of Liangzhou. Not only is it experiencing a severe drought that has never happened in a century, but the state capital is also experiencing a strange locust plague. Wherever it passes, not a single blade of grass grows."

Looking at Deng Yang's face that was deep in thought, Deng Qingxue did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly told all the information she knew.

In fact, these are not secrets. With the influx of refugees from Liangzhou into Cangzhou, these news have already spread.

"The plague of locusts?"

He actually knew about the severe drought in Liangzhou. After all, although he had not been down the mountain in the past six months, the severe drought in Liangzhou had not only lasted a day or two, it had already started last year.

But this was the first time he heard about the locust plague.

"It is rumored that it is a very strange kind of locust. It is not only vegetarian, but also eats meat. Wherever it passes, there are no humans or animals."

"The disciple originally thought it was some kind of Gu insect, but according to what the person who came to ask for help said, the scale of the locust plague was extremely huge, and it appeared without a trace. Now several counties have been swept away. Obviously, it is not something that ordinary people can do. Do it.”

Speaking of this, Deng Qingxue couldn't help but look extremely solemn.

As a disciple of the Wutong lineage, although she specializes in corpse refining, she is no stranger to the Gu art, but she is just a monk.

No matter how high one's cultivation level is, the number of natal Gu insects that he can control is extremely limited. Moreover, the more ferocious the Gu insects are, the easier it is to backfire on the monks themselves. To control them, the higher the requirements for the monks' cultivation level will be.

What's more, the mutated locust plague that controls the sky and the sun has swept through many counties and cities. If this is really man-made, it is definitely not an ordinary monk.

"It's possible"

"Carnivorous locusts are just naturally mutated, but they don't exist."

After hearing Deng Qingxue's analysis, Deng Yang nodded slightly, but did not immediately come to a conclusion.

Although just listening to the description, it sounds like monks who are good at witchcraft are causing trouble, but this is not consistent with common sense.

Gu insects are different from others. When it comes to blood food, they don't pay much attention to the soul. Instead, they pay great attention to the energy and blood. The strength of human beings lies in the soul. In terms of energy and blood alone, they are probably not as good as ordinary beasts.

If this incident was really man-made, what was the motive? Such a series of massacres in several counties could not be for revenge.

People who can practice to this level are usually not so unwise. Some demonic monks, even if they want to plunder blood food, will not act in such a big way.

And generally speaking, carnivorous locusts are not uncommon, especially in severe drought situations like Liangzhou.

When an animal is cornered, its survival instinct will naturally drive it to mutate in order to find a better way to survive. If locusts have no grass to eat, it is not impossible to evolve carnivorous varieties.

Just like ordinary domestic dogs, if they eat too much dead human flesh, they will evolve into corpse dogs. The same principle applies.

Although the base number of mutations is small, it does not exist. Under certain specific conditions, it can still be achieved.

"In this case, you go and bring the leader and ask him personally."

After thinking for a while, Deng Yang felt that this might be a good opportunity to collect good deeds.

I haven’t gone down the mountain for more than half a year, so it doesn’t hurt to take a trip to Liangzhou. It would be even better if I had the opportunity to collect some good fruits.

After all, this rare opportunity doesn't come often.

However, Deng Yang was not allowed to act rashly. As Deng Qingxue said just now, the locust plague was probably man-made. Although he didn't know the other party's purpose, it was obvious that those who could create such a locust plague were definitely not idle. generation.

It is unwise to rush there without sufficient information.

"Yes, my disciple will order someone to bring him up the mountain."

Seeing that Deng Yang wanted to meet the person who came for help, Deng Qingxue did not hesitate too much.

After getting along with him for the past two years, she had already discovered that her ancestor's temperament had changed. Not only was his temper no longer as violent as before, but his attitude towards his disciples was also much gentler.

He would even go down the mountain for a walk from time to time, which Deng Qingxue would never have dared to imagine a few years ago.

Although Deng Qingxue didn't know the reasons for Deng Yang's various changes, she was extremely happy to see them happen.

After all, compared to the moody Jiuyin Patriarch before, the current Deng Yang is undoubtedly much easier to serve.

"Meet the Grandfather"

"Ordinary people give blessings to the clouds and pay homage to the Immortal of Wutong."

Deng Yang was not kept waiting for long. Under Deng Qingxue's instructions, a handyman Taoist boy from the mountain gate soon led a resolute-looking middle-aged man to the Wutong Hall.

The man's face was gray and black, and the original color of his long gown could no longer be seen. The boots under his feet had several big holes, and he was covered in messes. On the surface, he looked better than those refugees from Liangzhou who had fled here. Not much.

The only difference is that unlike the numbness, dullness and lack of vitality of those refugees, although the man looks tired, his eyes are clear, and there is a firm belief in his eyes.
