Chapter 242 Extermination of the Locust Plague

Finally, finally met Mr. Cao Ge.

In the study, Zhang Wei bowed to Cao Bin, and then the two sat and drank tea.Chen Zhirui retreated from the servants, and brought tea and water for the two of them himself.

Cao Bin didn't talk nonsense, but asked directly: "How is the locust plague in Tianmen County?"

Zhang Wei replied: "It's very serious. Migratory locusts cover a radius of hundreds of miles. There are probably tens of thousands of hectares of vegetation that they eat all day and night. Many places outside Tianmen County have been eaten up. If they enter the grain-growing area , our losses will be extremely severe."

"What method have you adopted now?"

"The wife of a demon servant in the lower official is a starling. And the starling is the best bird to deal with migratory locusts. Now more than three million starlings have been summoned to Tianmen County to stop the locusts. And some birds have joined Among them, more than a thousand migratory locusts can be eaten in one day and one night."

Hearing this, Cao Bin felt hesitant, and nodded his head in recognition of Zhang Wei's work.

"But when the manpower is exhausted, the locusts rely on starlings and birds to eat, but it is only a drop in the bucket. So I have a plan to lure the insects into the water."

He showed Cao Bin the proposal.After Cao Bin read the plan, he didn't understand many things, but he didn't need to understand.

"How many locusts can you solve with this plan?"

"If it can be implemented, nine out of ten locusts should die." Zhang Wei said.

In fact, he hasn't calculated it himself, who can figure it out!But that doesn't stop him from talking big.

"So, you want us to push this and make Heaven speed up?"

"Yes, now we are racing against time. If we can be earlier, we will lose less."

Now the locusts are still eating trees and shrubs in the wild, but they have already threatened the grassland, and the next step is to go to the planting area.

Cao Bin closed his eyes and thought about it for a while. At this moment, Zhang Wei said, "Mr. Zhou Ge also agrees."

Hearing this, Cao Bin opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Wei expressionlessly.Zhang Wei said: "We have contacted Mr. Zhou Ge through special means, and Mr. Zhou Ge agreed. But he still needs your consent."

Hearing this, Cao Bin finally nodded and said, "If Mr. Zhou Ge agrees, the matter will be much simpler."

He stood up and said, "Well, I'm really going to be on duty tonight."

Seeing that Cao Bin was about to leave, Chen Zhirui quickly gave Zhang Wei a wink at this moment.

Chen Zhirui has already done what Chen Zhirui promised.Now it's Zhang Wei's turn to fulfill his promise.

Zhang Wei was a little nervous at this time, but under Chen Zhirui's guard, he could only swallow his saliva and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Cao Bin was thinking about the convener of the meeting at this time, and he let out an 'oh' after hearing what he said.

Then I heard Zhang Wei say: "The official wants to invite Miss Chen Zhirui to live in Tianmen County for a while."

Hearing this, Cao Bin, a master of expression management, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He looked Zhang Wei up and down for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhang Wei bit the bullet and said, "Of course I know."

"Hmph!" Elder Cao Ge suddenly snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's discuss this matter with my wife." After speaking, he ignored Zhang Wei and walked out.

When Cao Bin walked away, Zhang Wei said, "How should I tell your aunt about this?"

Instead, Chen Zhirui smiled and said, "Uncle agrees, and the rest is on Auntie's side. What should I say? Tell me straight!"

"Are you sure I won't be kicked out?" Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.

And Chen Zhirui widened his eyes and asked, "If you are beaten out, you will go back to Tianmen County. Is it possible that you want to stay here for the New Year?"

In the end, Zhang Wei was driven away by Mrs. Cao, for which Mrs. Cao dropped a teacup!
After Zhang Wei went out, Chen Zhirui also ran out after a while.

Carrying a small burden, she came out of Cao's residence overnight and went to the inn to find Zhang Wei.

It's almost elopement...

At this time, Zhang Wei was also shocked by her boldness.It's just that in addition to being surprised, I was a little moved in my heart.

"You know, I have a wife." Zhang Wei reiterated.

"I know." She looked at Zhang Wei, and said firmly, "But I believe in fate even more. In ancient times, there were reds running around at night, and today I follow suit. It's not a bad idea."

Zhang Wei felt sorry for him, so in the end he could only use the secret method to pass it on to Xiao Jin, and let him come over overnight.

Early the next morning.Xiao Jin, who had been flying all night, came to Zhang Wei's side.After they rested for a while, Chen Zhirui rode Xiaojin and flew towards Tianmen County together with Zhang Wei.

Not long after Zhang Wei left the capital, the cabinet passed a resolution, and then in the name of the emperor, he wrote it to the heavenly court!
........................................................................

Zhang Wei and Xiao Jin flew unhurriedly.After a day and night, I returned to Tianmen County.

After Chen Zhirui was settled, the order from the Heavenly Court came down.

Heavenly Court will fully support Zhang Wei's plan to lure insects into the water!

Then, the two great gods Zhao Yuanbo and Taihe from the Heavenly Court, and the two dragon gods Ao Qing and Ao Yue from the Yunyu Division also went down to work together.

Many gods gathered together, and Zhang Wei also said unceremoniously: "It is not advisable to delay at this time, let's make a quick decision."

He looked at Zhao Yuanbo and said, "General Zhao will take over Xinghe, so that the stars will not shine on this place."

Zhao Yuanbo stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Obey!"

"Siri Great God Taihe, within at least two days, the daylight should be reduced to the lowest level, and you can't see half of the sun."

Taihe also cupped his hands in agreement.

Finally, he looked at the two dragon gods and said, "The most important thing to cover the sky and the sun is the efficiency of your cloud movement. The clouds must be thick to cover all the light here."

The two dragon gods reluctantly said: "The time for gathering the clouds is uncertain, and the clouds must be thick. Let's do our best."

Hearing what they said, Zhang Wei said in dissatisfaction: "You can't do your best, but really do it. If you can't do it, I will send you a book from the heaven."

Ao Qing said dissatisfiedly: "You are deliberately making things difficult! I also want to submit a copy to you in the heaven!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Whether you are deliberately making things difficult or not, you and I know. If you can't do it, then tell us sooner, and I will inform the Ministry of Water, and the gods of the Ministry of Thunder will help!"

The Ministry of Water in the Heavenly Court is also in charge of carrying clouds and rain.

When the two dragons heard this, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts, and sat down coldly.

Again, the technical difficulty of this matter is not high, it really depends on the cooperation of various departments.

After the immortals finished speaking, he began to order the officials on the ground again.

"This time, the sky will be blocked and the sun will be blocked for several days. You will pass the news from door to door, so don't cause panic when you go."

The officials under him have no thorns, and the old man does what he says.Immediately, someone applauded and set off to convey orders to various places.

Finally, there is the god of mountains and water on the land boundary.

"On the top of the mountain, you created the water mirror technique to direct the starlight into a straight line. The purpose is to guide the bugs into Tianmen Lake. The mountain god and the water god cooperate, do you know?"

All the mountain gods and water gods promised to come down.

All ready to go.Everyone takes their places.

Si Ri Dashen Taihe, he needs to restrain the sunlight shining on Tianmen County, no matter what method he uses, whether it is refraction or polarized light, anyway, the sunlight here is the dimmest.

I saw that he came to the most amazing one, and directly used the method of "Tiangou eclipse the sun" to have a total solar eclipse!In an instant, the sun in the sky was slowly swallowed by the shadows, and the people below were startled.

Fortunately, many officials went down to appease the hearts of the people. When they knew that the Grand Master did it to prevent the locust plague, they all quietly hid in their homes.

The sun is gone, but that doesn't mean there is no other light.At this time, the Heavenly Official of the Yunyu Division began to cast spells, and a large number of dark clouds began to gather, and thick dark clouds were needed to block the last light.

All of a sudden, there was a storm.With the help of the strong wind, the clouds gather faster.Not long after, the entire Tianmen County was shrouded in dark clouds.

In the end, it was Zhang Wei who lived.

He threw the fixed astrolabe into the Tianmen lake, and Zhao Yuanbo from the sky, with the navy of the heavenly court, formed the Zhoutian star array (incompletely improved version), and poured the Zhoutian starlight into the fixed astrolabe!
Then, the fixed astrolabe released a huge amount of light, and then Tianmen Lake Lake God, Cigu immediately manipulated the lake water, turning the lake water into a huge lens.

Above the lens, there is a huge mirror made of water vapor.

The starlight is magnified through the lens, and then refracted out through the water mirror.

On the mountain in the distance, Li Qinggui also set up a huge mirror to reflect the starlight.

And farther away, there is another mirror on the top of the mountain.

Through the layer upon layer reflection of the water mirror, a starlight 'road to heaven' is formed in this way!
Finally, the Xingguang Tianlu came to Jilei Mountain, the main peak of Tianshan Mountain. Granny Jinhua took out her usual makeup mirror and threw it into the sky.

A strong light shone on the locust swarm at once.These locusts subconsciously flew up following the huge light.

Zhang Wei watched all this nervously, and when the locusts flew up one by one following the starlight sky, his heart finally settled down.

His plan worked!
Tens of millions of locusts flew over Tianmen County along the Starlight Road.All the people in Tianmen County saw this scene.

This fantastic and splendid scene is unforgettable for the people of Tianmen County.The "click" sound of locusts flying in the sky seems to be the soundtrack.

In Zhang's mansion, Chen Zhirui saw this scene, she knew she was in the right place!

In this world, it is estimated that only this man can do such a thing.

The migratory locusts all over the sky flew towards the stars, as if being led by the nose.Seeing this scene, the gods and Buddhas all over the sky were also shocked by Zhang Wei's whimsical ideas.

Like the wind, the locusts flew over Tianmen County, over Guifang, towards Tianmen Lake, and plunged in like this!

"Srustling" is like the sound of raindrops, and the locusts are attracted to the water in this way, and then drowned one by one.

This made the fish and shrimps in Tianmen Lake overjoyed. It is unknown how many fish and shrimps died of this inexplicable feast.

Just as the locusts were flying towards Tianmen Lake, someone was behind the scenes.

The locust god in the sky showed his figure, and he wanted to use his supernatural powers to interfere with the flight of the locusts.

But at this time, someone was already waiting for him.

When the locust god appeared, Zhang Wei, Huang Dou, Tong Guang, and everyone from the Shenxiao sect all appeared in front of the locust god.

The gods in the sky want to cover the sky and block out the sun, so there is no time to be distracted to deal with the locust god.Therefore, it is up to Zhang Wei and others to deal with the Locust God.

"God of locusts! What is your purpose for raising the plague of locusts this time?" Zhang Wei asked.

"You guys are hungry and want to eat. I can't help it." Locust God said lightly.

Tong Guang glanced at the locust god, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the point of talking to him! Just hit him!"

After finishing speaking, he threw out a big umbrella, which was the Tiankui umbrella of Qingwei sect.

The Tiankui Umbrella emits a silver-white thunder light, covering all directions at once.And Zheng Chuanxi of the Shenxiao School also respectfully took out a simple scroll from his bosom, and threw it into the sky.

In an instant, the scroll opened slowly, and endless thunder surged out of the scroll.

Seeing this scene, the Locust God felt his heart tighten.He said hoarsely: "To deal with me, are you going to use the magic weapon of the town?"

Tong Guang said lightly: "We have always used power to overwhelm others, and we never dare to underestimate any enemy."

While he was speaking, the Tiankui Umbrella suddenly turned, and the thunder light turned along with it, and suddenly released a thunder ring to hit the Locust God.

On the other side, Zheng Chuanxi, who doesn't talk too much, also urged the animation scroll to release ball lightning in original shape.

'Puff puff puff puff' The ball lightning jumped out of the scroll like jelly beans, and struck towards the Locust God with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

This time the Locust God didn't dare to be too big, and immediately turned into hundreds of thousands of locusts, and ran away in one go!

The hundreds of thousands of locusts transformed into locust gods were electrocuted to death most of them.But some still escaped directly.

As long as one locust escapes, the locust god will not die. In other words, there are only locusts in this world, and the locust god will not die.

Looking at the locusts fleeing in all directions, Zhang Wei said in disbelief, "The locust god just escaped like this?"

Tong Guang frowned and said, "This is the difficulty of Locust God. He can't be killed, and he won't fight you. He will be disgusting."

He looked at Zhang Wei and said, "But if the locust god is gone, he won't be able to control these locusts, and it won't affect your plan."

This has been the case with dealing with the Locust God since ancient times.No one has ever said that the locust plague can be exterminated, it can only be said to drive away or reduce the scale of the locust plague.

By driving away the locust god and eliminating so many locusts, Zhang Wei's goal was achieved this time, and many crops in Tianmen County were saved.

It's just that Zhang Wei is still a little unwilling.This locust god has made such a big fight, is it just as he said, just to feed his locust people?

At this time, the soybean next to him said to him: "Brother Wei, don't worry, I remember his smell, and I can track it down later."

When Zhang Wei heard this, he hurriedly said to Huang Dou, "If you beat a snake, you will be harmed instead. The locust god can't just let him go like this. I'll leave it to you to track down the locust god!"

Soybean nodded and flew away immediately!
