Chapter 185: Huang Long's Decisive Strike, the Emperor of Earth Belongs to Him!

Human territory.

After Shennong discovered the five grains, formulated the twenty-four solar terms, invented agricultural tools, and promoted agricultural development.

Humans gradually entered the farming era from the era of hunting for a living, and the five grains became the main food source of the human race.

After all, the cultivation of five grains is safer, there will be no casualties, and the yield is higher, which can solve the food problem of more tribesmen and make the human race more prosperous.

But just a thousand years after the human race took the five grains as the main food source, a huge change suddenly occurred.

On this day.

A human tribe suddenly discovered that the rice seeds planted in the field had long passed the germination period, but they had not yet sprouted.

After digging it up, it was found that all the seeds were rotting and deteriorating in the soil, emitting a foul smell.

Not only rice, but also other grains are like this. As long as the seeds are planted in the soil, they will rot quickly and it is impossible to germinate.

If only one or two tribes are like this, it may be a planting error or due to the climate.

But if the entire human territory is like this, it means that this matter is abnormal and there must be intervention by a great power.

You know, in the past thousand years, because of the five grains, it is easier for the human race to obtain food, so that the number of the human race has increased sharply, and it has exceeded the peak number at the beginning.

Today, the human race mainly relies on the five grains to fill their stomachs. If they lose this main source of food, the human race will suffer heavy casualties, and countless people will die of hunger.

In desperation, Shennong can only let the human race collect mountain fruits and hunt wild animals to temporarily alleviate the food problem.

But this is still a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. Even if there is still food left over from previous years in the granary, if the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, famine in the human race has become inevitable.

This makes Shennong quite worried, and it also makes other high-level human race anxious.

Especially the elders of the human race who have experienced the great catastrophe of the human race, they can hardly watch the number of the human race return to its former prosperity.

But now there is a food crisis, and there may be a large number of casualties. Naturally, they don’t want to see this happen.

In order to know the source of the inability of the five grains to germinate, Shennong led people to study the soil quality of the human race’s territory and find out the root cause.

At the same time, he sent his subordinates to sow grains in the areas adjacent to the human territory.

He wanted to see whether there was a problem with the grains or whether it was only the grains in the human territory.

If it was the latter, it meant that someone was targeting the human race, not the natural changes of the prehistoric world.

Ten years later.

When the human race members who went out came back with fresh grains, Shennong immediately understood that the grains could not germinate only in the human territory, but could germinate and grow normally in areas outside the human territory.

But now, all the tribes in the prehistoric world are mainly cultivating. Once the human race breaks this peace, the human race will not be able to develop well in the future.

What's more, since the other party has the ability to prevent the grains from growing in the human territory.

Then after the human race occupies other areas, who can guarantee that the grains can still grow in that place?

It is obvious that someone is targeting the human race and the human grains.

In other words, the human race is punished by the earth, resulting in the failure of the grains.

After all, being able to do such a thing, with such a wide range of influence, even Fuxi Tianhuang could not find any traces, which is the most obvious clue.

Such a discovery gave Shennong a headache.

Humans are born on the earth, grow on the earth, and die on the earth.

If they are targeted and punished by the earth, so that grains cannot grow, this is undoubtedly a huge blow, and it will be difficult for humans to survive in the prehistoric world.

The changes in the human race cannot escape the attention of the saints of the heavenly way. Facing this situation, they also frowned slightly.

It is not necessary to think about who did this.

Looking at the entire prehistoric world, the only person who has the ability and courage to do this is Huang Long.

"He really did it."

Jie Yin and Zhunti were full of emotion. According to the original discussion, the Emperor of the Earth returned to the West.

Now such a change has the greatest impact on them.

At the beginning, they were worried that the matter of the Emperor of the Earth would attract Huang Long to intervene, so they raised this matter and got the proposal of Taoist Taiqing to let Hongyun reincarnate as the Emperor of the Earth.

In this way, they not only paid off the cause and effect of becoming a Taoist, but also thought that Huang Long would not interfere with the return of the Emperor of Earth because of the relationship between the Emperor of Earth and Hong Yun.

The previous development seemed to be true. Huang Long not only did not prevent the Emperor of Earth from returning to the throne.

He even threw in the Queen Mother of the West and the mermaids to teach the way of herbal medicine and textile skills.

Although such a result would allow the earthly side to share part of the human race's luck.

But it is undeniable that the actions of the Queen Mother of the West and the mermaids have increased the achievements of the Emperor of Earth and made it smoother.

I thought that Huang Long knew that Shennong was the reincarnation of Hong Yun, and for the sake of this old friend, he gave him some help on his way to taking the position of the Emperor of Earth.

Unexpectedly, he waited for the five grains to spread throughout the human race's territory, and when the number of human races increased greatly and the human race could not leave the five grains, he cut off the growth of the five grains.

It was really cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron. This forbearance and this method can only be said to be very Huang Long!

But the Heavenly Dao Saints did not choose to compromise with Huang Long, but instead sent their disciples to the human race with the methods they derived to solve the problem of grain growth, and to help the disciples earn some luck for the human race.

However, things did not go as planned.

Whether it is Yuanshi Tianzun's Three Lights Divine Water or the Eight Treasures Merit Pool Water of the Two Saints of the West, they cannot make the seeds of the five grains germinate, let alone grow and mature.

Even the creation of the Saint Nuwa can only make the five grains germinate, but they grow slowly.

After she withdrew her magical powers, the five grains withered instantly.

Even if the creation is continuously operated to force the five grains to ripen, they will wither the moment they are picked.

In short, the five grains today cannot survive in the human territory and cannot be eaten by the human race.

For such a result, the saints of the Heavenly Dao all frowned.

Knowing that it is absolutely impossible for them to bypass Huanglong to solve this matter.

But if the problem of the five grains is not solved, Shennong will not be worthy of his name, his achievements will not be enough to pick the fruit of the Earth Emperor Dao, and the plan of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will be difficult to continue.

The destiny of the human race will also be difficult to be perfect, and it will not be able to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, let alone become the carrier of humanity.

Thinking of this, the Saint Taiqing sighed. Even though he was unwilling, Zuihong still stood up and left the Bajing Palace and walked towards Guixu.

...

Guixu, Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long poured a cup of tea for the Saint Taiqing, and did not pretend to be confused. He smiled and said:

"Daoyou, are you here for the matter of grains?"

The Saint Taiqing was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Huang Long did not pretend to be ignorant this time, but told him about it at the beginning.

Such a change made him more vigilant.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly:

"That's right. I wonder what you need to do to make me stop and let the five grains in the human race sprout and grow again, so that the earth can be restored to its original state?"

"We agreed at the beginning that you would only take one of the Five Emperors. Why are you doing this now? Blocking the Emperor of Earth from returning to his throne?"

"Tsk tsk! Daoist friend, please don't talk nonsense."

Huang Long took a sip of the Enlightenment Source Tea, chuckled and continued:

"I have never interfered with the Emperor of Earth's return to his throne. What I did was within the scope of the Dao."

"What? As a Dao saint, do I need to ask for your opinions if I want to prevent the five grains from sprouting and growing? Besides..."

Speaking of this, Huang Long paused slightly, restrained his smile, and continued:

"Besides, I said at the beginning that if your plan to help the human race involves the power of the earth, please be sure to tell me, otherwise, I will not agree. "

"Since you don't take my words to heart, I believe that the current situation is also within the calculation of fellow Taoists."

"With the help of the Heavenly Saint, I believe that I can bypass the power of the earth, help the human race solve the problem of grains, and let the Earth Emperor successfully win the position. "

The Taiqing Saint's heart sank when he heard this. If we have a way to solve it, why should I come to you?

He knew that Huang Long was blaming the Heavenly Saint for interfering in his affairs and deciding the matter of the Earth Emperor without telling him.

He was also blaming the Heavenly Saint for using the matter of the Red Cloud Ancestor to calculate him.

Whether it was the Queen Mother of the West teaching the way of herbal medicine or the mermaids teaching the textile skills, they were mostly trying to confuse the Heavenly Dao Saint Lele for this fatal blow.

The Taiqing Saint understood Huang Long's intention and Huang Long's calculations. Feeling helpless, he had to continue to negotiate conditions.

"This matter is due to my inconsiderateness. I don't know how you can stop? As long as it does not harm the interests of the Heavenly Dao, I can agree to it."

This time, Huang Long did not refute again, but directly put forward the conditions.

"I believe that fellow Taoist understands what I am thinking. The Earth Emperor and the Underground Tunnel are inseparable. If you want to return the Earth Emperor to his position, you can't bypass the Underground Tunnel."

"If you want the five grains to continue to grow, if you want the strategy of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to continue, if you want the human race to become the common master of heaven and earth, if you want the human race to become the carrier of humanity."

"Then from now on, the Heavenly Dao Saint shall not interfere in the affairs of the Earth Emperor. The Earth Emperor belongs to the enemy. Even if Shennong attains enlightenment in the future, he will belong to humanity and the Underground Tunnel, and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao."

"If you agree, then the five grains can continue to grow. If fellow Taoist disagrees, then please go back."

Hearing this, even though the Taiqing Saint was prepared, his face was still ugly.

Considering that the human race can become the protagonist of heaven and earth, whether the human beings can be born smoothly, the ownership of the Earth Emperor is not so important.

Just losing the Earth Emperor and one of the Five Emperors, the influence of the Underground Tunnel on the human race is also greater. This makes it difficult for the Taiqing Saint to accept that he has been planning for so long, but Huanglong has taken away so many benefits.

In the end, the Taiqing Saint sighed helplessly and agreed to Huang Long's conditions.

Compared with his own path, the Emperor of Earth could naturally be abandoned.

Moreover, before he left the Bajing Palace, he was prepared for a big loss, and Huang Long's request just hit his bottom line.

...

Three hundred years later, Kongtong ancestral land.

Shennong, at the suggestion of the three ancestors of the human race, led the great sages of the human race to build a large temple in the ancestral land and built a platform for the land and grain.

Using the grains harvested in the past as sacrifices, he personally worshipped the earth, the land and grain, the authentic saints, and the prehistoric land.

From then on, the authentic saints took charge of the land and grain of the human race, the harvest of grains, and the protection of the mountains and rivers of the earth.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the statues of Hou Tu and Huang Long exuded a mysterious Taoist rhyme, and the grain seeds in the territory of the human race sprouted instantly, grew and matured rapidly, and the rice fragrance was fragrant and fruitful.

Looking at the abundant crops in the fields, the human race was overjoyed. Shennong led his men to pay homage to the two earthly saints again.

In the hearts of the human race, the earthly way is as important as the way of heaven, so they dare not neglect or underestimate it.

Originally, Fuxi became a saint because of the Heavenly Dao, which increased the luck of the human race, making the Heavenly Dao's position in the hearts of the human race far higher than the Earthly Dao. Now it is different.

The attitude of the human race towards the Earthly Dao has changed, which has caused the luck of the human race to change, and some of the luck has begun to flow to the Earthly Dao.

In this regard, the Heavenly Dao saints can only sigh helplessly.

They know that this is also a helpless solution. If Huang Long deliberately wants to stop it, the plan of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will not continue.

Especially what Huang Long did was within the authority of the Earthly Dao, and they could not find any faults, so they could only bite their teeth and admit it.

Mount Xumi, Paradise.

After Jie Yin and Zhunti knew about this, their faces kept changing, and finally shook their heads helplessly.

It is obvious that Shennong will belong to the Earthly Dao from now on, and they can only bite their teeth and accept it.

Fortunately, with Huang Long's help, it seems that Shennong's removal of the Earthly Emperor's position is stable, and they can use this to repay the cause and effect of the Red Cloud Patriarch, which is not a waste of time.

As for whether the Heavenly Dao can be the only one in the human race, they don't care much, but take it very seriously.

If the Heavenly Dao is the only one, they can enjoy the benefits, speed up their cultivation, have more authority in the prehistoric world, and become stronger.

The strengthening of the underground tunnels is also good for them. The western land can benefit from it, and the difficulty of repairing the earth veins is reduced, so their hope of fulfilling their wish is greater.

Guixu, Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long watched the changes in the fortune of the human race and felt the increasing weight of the underground tunnels in the hearts of the human race. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he was very satisfied with such a result.

Grains are the foundation of the survival of the human race. In the future, as long as they cultivate grains and benefit from them, the underground tunnels will always occupy an important position in the hearts of the human race.

And as agriculture and vegetation become more and more sound, the position of the underground tunnels in the hearts of the human race will become more and more stable, and even higher.

The deeper the human heart, the more important the country!

Moreover, after solving the problem of grains, the underground tunnel lineage can legitimately intervene in the affairs of the human race.

Especially during the reign of Shennong, Huang Long had absolute disposal rights.

Thinking of this, Huang Long sent several voice transmissions, ordering his disciples, the creatures of the netherworld, and the dragon clan to enter the human territory.

On the one hand, it was to help Shennong and increase the merits of the earth emperor.

On the other hand, it was to obtain merit and luck. Merit is a holy product for cultivation as long as it is not at the level of Huang Long.

Then, he notified Zhen Yuanzi and asked him to find a time to enter the human territory and communicate with Shennong.

According to Huang Long's idea, the earth immortals should cover the mountains and rivers of the prehistoric land, assist the operation of the earth and the reproduction of all living beings, and the human race is naturally one of the main coverage areas of the earth immortals.

After handling this matter, Huang Long came to the garden and looked at the innate gourd vine filled with chaotic air and a little starlight inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

Today, the innate gourd vine has become an innate treasure. Even if its power is not as good as the three treasures of Kaitian, it still has terrifying power.

Moreover, the Xiantian Gourd Vine is still evolving towards the next step. In ten thousand years at most, it will be able to breed the Zhoutian stars inside, making it even more powerful.

Afterwards, Huang Long returned to the pavilion again, and as a chess player, he looked down at the prehistoric world and observed the changes of the human race.
