Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division
Chapter 653 Woodcarving? Human?
According to the information obtained by Hive, Lieyang Court only has low-grade and medium-grade spiritual root rice seedlings in its hands.
Because in the Divine Land of the Eastern Territory, only those super large sects possess high-grade spiritual root rice seedlings, and each sect regards the high-grade spiritual root rice seedlings as a treasure, and they are kept tightly and no outsiders are allowed to get involved.
Therefore, even experts like Chu Jinghong, who have been wandering in the Eastern Divine Land for thousands of years, have not been able to obtain a single high-grade spiritual root rice seedling.
But the Xie family in Shangyuan City secretly collected a high-grade spiritual root rice seedling, which was simply audacious.
If the court finds out, I'm afraid the entire family will be uprooted.
After all, the imperial law has long stipulated that privately owning spiritual root rice seedlings is tantamount to treason.
"Even Chu Jinghong couldn't get the high-grade spiritual root rice. I really don't know how the Xie family got it?"
Zhao Mu pressed the cloud head and saw a city appearing below, which was Shangyuan City.
And around Shangyuan City, there are large areas of fertile fields, which are filled with golden spiritual root rice. At a glance, there is an endless golden color.
Zhao Mu found a place to stay outside the city and waited silently.
After a moment, the ground ahead rippled slightly, and then an old man with a goatee emerged from the ground.
"My subordinate, Wei Jie, pays homage to the Lord!"
When the old man saw Zhao Mu, he quickly saluted respectfully.
This Wei Jie is the leader of the secret agents stationed by Beehive in Shangyuan City, and his apparent identity is the president of the Shangyuan City Chamber of Commerce.
This person knew the situation in Shangyuan City very well, so Zhao Mucai found him as soon as he arrived here.
"Um."
Zhao Mu nodded: "I heard from Mo He that you discovered the high-grade spiritual root rice seedling collected by the Xie family?"
"It was indeed discovered by my subordinates."
Wei Jing smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. Although I, the Beehive, have spies in the Xie family, it is impossible to spy on such top secrets. After all, only Xie Lian, the ancestor of the Xie family, and a few senior officials are involved in the matter of the spiritual root rice seedlings. Know."
"But it's just that the Xie family has a prodigal grandson, Xie Qian. This person has been favored since he was a child and has developed a lawless temper. He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."
"That day, Xie Qian robbed several girls from good families and brought them back to the Xie Mansion to eat, drink and play with. As a result, he drank too much and accidentally revealed that the Xie family had spiritual root rice seedlings."
"And our spy happened to be passing by and heard about this incident, and then reported it to his subordinates."
"I heard afterwards that in order to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, Xie Lian directly beat the servants who heard the incident at the time, as well as the few decent women, to death."
"Even his grandson Xie Qian, whom he always loved, was banned from cultivating and was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights."
When Wei Jing said this, he looked at Zhao Mu and said, "My lord, you came to Shangyuan City today to get the Xie family's spiritual root rice ancestral seedlings to plant?"
"What, is there a problem?" Zhao Mu asked back.
"There are indeed some problems."
Wei Jing frowned and said, "According to Xie Qian, that spiritual root rice seedling was actually picked up by Xie Lian by chance on a small island in the South China Sea five hundred years ago."
"It is said that a flying divine boat crashed on that small island at that time. It should have come from the Eastern Divine Land. However, all the people on the divine boat died, so it is impossible to know where it came from."
"As for the high-grade spiritual root rice ancestral seedling, when Xie Lian got it, it was already seriously damaged, so he sealed it directly."
"Over the years, the Xie family has been looking for ways to restore ancestral seedlings, but they dare not plant them at all for fear of dying after one species."
"If the Lord gets the ancestral seedlings, I'm afraid he will have to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise it will be useless."
I see.
Zhao Mu suddenly realized, no wonder the Xie family has never planted high-grade spiritual root rice in these years. It seems that it is not just because they are afraid of being discovered by the court.
He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will naturally have a way to restore Zu Miao. Just cooperate with me to get it."
In the spiritual plant garden of the Hanhai Continent, there is a divine source of creation shining at all times.
With the mystery of the divine source of creation, it is not difficult to repair the damage to the spiritual root rice seedlings, it just takes some time.
As for myself, the last thing I lack is time.
"Yes, I obey. Please come with me, Lord."
Wei Jing turned sideways to make way, preparing to lead Zhao Mu away.
But suddenly, a strange fluctuation came, which caught Zhao Mu's attention.
He looked up to the west: "What's burning there, wood?"
Wei Jing's expression changed, and he sighed: "It's not wood, it's people!"
"people?"
Zhao Mu's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?"
Wei Jing sighed again: "If your lord wants to know, why not go invisibly and see with your own eyes?"
"good."
Zhao Mu did not hesitate, immediately became invisible, and flew over there with Wei Jie.
Soon, the two of them crossed many rice fields and came to a mountain col.
I saw dozens of human-shaped wooden sculptures piled on one side of the mountain col.
The craftsmanship of these wood carvings is very good. The noses, eyes, mouths, etc. are all exactly like human beings. They look like mountains and are lifelike.
On the other side of the mountain col, a blazing fire was lit. At this moment, several burly men were carrying the wooden sculptures and throwing them into the fire.
"You said those wood carvings are people?" Zhao Mu said in a cold tone.
"It's no longer a human being, it should be regarded as a corpse... No, it's not even a corpse, it can only be regarded as real wood."
Wei Jing gritted his teeth: "My lord, do you know anything about the planting process of Linggen rice?"
"do not know much."
"Hey, although Linggen Rice can benefit the world, if you are not careful during the planting process, it can kill people."
Wei Jing explained: "From the time it is planted, the spiritual root rice will continue to emit poisonous gas until it is completely mature."
"My Lord, when you came here just now, the golden rice fields you saw were actually mature spiritual root rice, so you can't feel anything at all."
"But just a few days ago, the rice fields were filled with poisonous gas. This kind of poisonous gas is very special. It condenses around the spiritual root rice and never disperses. People who come in contact with it for a long time will gradually turn their bodies into wood and die."
“Not only does it corrode the physical body, the poisonous gas of Linggen Rice also corrodes the soul, causing people to turn into ghosts after death and cannot be reincarnated. Therefore, people who grow Linggen Rice must take the Soul-Protect Pill every day to avoid being corroded by the poisonous gas. "
"But the body-protecting and soul-protecting elixir is expensive to make, and long-term use will greatly increase the cost of growing spiritual root rice, which will greatly reduce profits."
"And the Xie family's solution is..."
"Their solution is not to provide body-protecting and soul-protecting pills, but to use the lives of living people to fill them to ensure their high profits?"
Zhao Mu's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Wei Jing didn't even need to finish his words, he had already guessed what the other party was going to say next.
As for Xie Lian and the Xie family, his heart also burst out with unprecedented murderous intent!
