Chapter 26: Assassination
Ten minutes later, there is still one more chapter...
This feeling of weakness made Liu Yi recall a lingering fear.
"Sighing, he said: 'The living are suffering, Shentu Jun. Whether it's the living or the dead souls. Since we were born in this world, we should do something to change this situation!'"
Shen Tuiqi listened to the pulsating blood and said, "The lower ghost is willing to follow the master in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and pursue the master's wishes!"
Liu Yi burst out laughing and said, "Since that's the case, it's settled then. You go with a few of your men to bring Madam back. You always say you've wronged her so much, are you going to wrong her again?"
Shen Tu was deeply moved and tears fell, repeatedly bowing down. For a moment, his heart surged with emotion, feeling that in this life, he had been fortunate enough to meet such an enlightened lord, and that was enough!
Thus it was arranged, and Shentu Ji went to Chengdu to meet Wu Shi. Another team led by Zhang Yue took a few ghost soldiers deep into Su Shan to gather information.
This Shentu Qi was Liu Yi's number one general, and Liu Yi also feared that he would lose, so he stuffed all the mountain temple angels he had made into Shentu Qi's hands, letting them protect Shentu Qi as he infiltrated the City God Temple.
These ghost soldiers, Liu Yi didn't think much of them. Although their strength wasn't weak, they were too stiff and rigid. It was decided like this.
Three villages received Liu Yi's notice and quickly organized manpower the next day. According to Liu Yi's teachings, they mixed the pesticides, poured them into spray bottles, and went to spray them.
Liu Yi sat in the Ling Xiao Pavilion, where a Ling Xiao treasure mirror was hung. Mu Yao and several subordinates accompanied him by his side, watching from the treasure mirror as countless tiny black threads, finer than needle tips, dispersed completely under the pesticide spray.
This scene, although ordinary people can't see it with their naked eyes, Liu Yi saw it clearly in his spiritual realm.
Liu Yi looked at the large spiritual pool in his own spiritual realm. It had already expanded by more than ten feet. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the spiritual energy in the large spiritual pool overflowed, like a small stream, slowly flowing into the thousands of acres of rice fields.
Wherever it passed, whether it was soil or crops on top, they were all nourished.
Just separating a tenth of the spiritual power from the Spiritual Pool was enough to envelop the entire thousand-acre rice field.
This little spiritual energy is too thin. It can't form a spiritual realm, and even the ghost domain can't be formed. However, it's enough to nourish the crops. Even because of the pesticide, the minor damage to the rice was eliminated. The grown rice will be more fragrant and delicious.
In his heart, he calculated that relying on his own spiritual energy would not be enough to replace the cost of nurturing and cultivating these rice grains.
Calculating... Unless this spiritual realm expands a hundred times, a spiritual pool of 100 square meters, providing spiritual energy with all its might. It may be possible to replace fertilizers and let these crops grow luxuriantly, yielding thousands of kilograms per mu.
Not even a hundred zhang of spiritual energy, this is almost like a small lake. What kind of great deity would have such a huge spiritual pool? Liu Yi didn't know, but at least he could sense it. The city's guardian deity wouldn't possibly have a ten-zhang spiritual pool.
As she thought about it, Mu Yao couldn't help but exclaim: "What kind of medicine is this? It's simply too powerful. With this medicine, we won't have to worry about any diseases or pests in the future."
Fan Fang took the opportunity to flatter and said with a smile: "The master's power is vast, those locust ghosts want to come and make trouble, it's simply looking for death!"
This flattery is quite clumsy, and Liu Yi naturally wouldn't take it seriously. After hearing it, he just smiled faintly, but in his heart, he was thinking about hybrid breeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. In my world during the population explosion era, these were the reasons why we could feed so many people.
Thinking of this world, when Da Yu founded the country, he allocated land according to the number of able-bodied men. Each able-bodied man was allocated 100 mu of land. Even now, after the founding of the country for more than 500 years, the population has increased day by day, and the land has been severely concentrated in the hands of a few people. However, an able-bodied man still has about 20-30 mu of land.
Where can this be imagined in later generations? The per capita arable land is not enough for more than one mu, and the number of non-agricultural population has decreased significantly. However, the per capita arable land is also limited. In many places, rural households have only three to five mu of land.
It is relying on good breeds, fertilizers and pesticides to support a population of hundreds of millions.
The growth of population represents the prosperity of humanity. Liu Yi brought out such a powerful killer, what can a mere locust demon do?
What a pity, wanting to thoroughly popularize these things in this world is no longer possible. What is needed is another kind of civilization, and the three are supported by a complete industrial civilization system. In this world, it is fundamentally impossible to popularize, and it is just for oneself to brush up on reputation.
Another thought, in fact, chemical fertilizers and pesticides can't be helped. But those good seeds can try, that is, cultivating non-hybrid rice varieties with good seeds. However, generation after generation of improvement and cultivation can also make this species better.
As he pondered these things, a sharp sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart, as if he could feel the point of a needle aimed at his eyeball even with his eyes closed.
"Whoosh..."
A long arrow shot from the dark place in the spiritual realm, hitting Liu Yi's chest. Liu Yi let out a loud cry, grabbed the long arrow with both hands, and fell to the ground headfirst.
It happened suddenly and unexpectedly, no one had thought that such a situation would arise. Everyone was shocked and rushed over to surround Liu Yi's side.
Moreover, there were ghostly soldiers who were both urgent and angry, shouting one after another: "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"
It was daytime now, or rather early in the morning. The spiritual realm sank underground, and if not through the Ling Xiao Treasure Mirror, it would be impossible to see the situation outside the spiritual realm.
No one knew how the assassin had infiltrated. In a state of shock, the ghostly guards guarding outside Ling Xiao Pavilion rushed towards the place where the arrow was fired.
Before they could rush forward, a shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadows. It directly drilled into the fog at the edge of the spiritual realm and actually escaped from the spiritual realm to the mortal world. The speed was too fast, and no one could see clearly what this shadow looked like.
The ghostly guards were furious and rushed out of the spiritual realm. They didn't even care about the scorching sunlight outside.
At this time, Mu Yao stood at the window of Ling Xiao Pavilion, her voice trembling slightly as she said: "Don't chase anymore, Master is only injured..."
Obeying orders, these ghost soldiers were indignant and fearful as they surrounded the Ling Xiao Pavilion.
When this happened, the entire spiritual realm was shocked, and all the ghosts saw that they were about to surround them. Mu Yao calmed down at this time, using a childish voice, pretending to be majestic, saying: "The master is injured and needs to heal. You guard the spiritual realm well, remember, not a single rumor can be leaked out!"
Before these ghosts could react, he swung his sleeve. All the doors and windows in Ling Xiao Pavilion were closed at once...
