Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 185: Huang Long's decisive move, 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.

Human beings gradually moved from an era of hunting to an era of farming, and grains became the main source of food for humans.

After all, growing grains is safer, there will be no casualties, and the yield is higher, which can solve the food problems of more people and make the human race more prosperous.

But just one thousand years after humans began to use grains as their main food source, a huge change suddenly occurred.

this day.

A certain human tribe suddenly discovered that the rice seeds planted in the fields had long passed the germination period, but had yet to germinate.

After digging it up, they found that all the seeds were rotting in the soil, emitting a foul odor.

It's not just rice, it's the same with other grains too. Once the seeds are planted in the soil, they will quickly rot and it will be impossible for them to germinate.

If this happens to only one or two tribes, it could be due to planting errors or climate.

But if the entire human territory is like this, it means that this matter is not normal and there must be intervention from a powerful person.

You know, during this thousand years, because of the advent of grains, it was easier for humans to obtain food, which caused the human population to surge and has already exceeded the original peak number.

Today's human race mainly relies on 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 could only let the human race gather wild fruits and hunt wild animals to temporarily alleviate the food problem.

But this is still only a temporary solution and 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 among the human race will become inevitable.

This made Shennong quite worried, and also made other high-ranking human beings anxious.

Especially the elders of the human race who had experienced the great catastrophe of the human race, they finally watched 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 do not want to see this happen.

In order to find out the reason why grains could not germinate, Shennong led people to study the soil in the human territory and get to the bottom of the problem.

At the same time, he sent his subordinates to sow grains in 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 within the human territory that were like this.

If it is the latter, it means that someone is targeting the human race, and it is not a natural change in the ancient times.

Ten years later.

When the human members who went out brought back fresh grains, Shennong immediately understood that the grains could not germinate only within the human territory. They could germinate and grow normally in areas outside the human territory.

But now all the races in the ancient world are focusing on self-cultivation. Once the human race breaks this peace, then the human race will never be able to develop well in the future.

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

So after humans occupy other areas, who can guarantee that grains can still grow there?

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

In other words, the human race was punished by the earth, resulting in the failure of crops to grow.

After all, he was able to do such a thing and had such a wide impact that even Emperor Fuxi could not find any trace. This was the most obvious clue.

This discovery gave Shennong a headache.

Human beings are born on the earth, grow up on the earth, and die on the earth.

If the earth were to target and punish us, so that crops could not grow, this would undoubtedly be a huge blow, and it would be difficult for humans to survive in the wilderness.

The changes in the human race could not escape the attention of the saints of heaven. Faced with this situation, they also frowned slightly.

It goes without saying who did this.

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

"He finally took action."

Jie Yin and Zhunti were deeply moved. According to the original agreement, the Emperor of Earth would return to the West.

The changes happening now have the greatest impact on them.

At the beginning, they were worried that the matter of the Emperor of Earth would lead to Huanglong's intervention, so they raised the matter and received a suggestion from Taoist Taiqing to let Hongyun reincarnate as the Emperor of Earth.

In this way, they not only paid off the cause and effect of their enlightenment, but also felt that the Huanglong Association would not interfere with the return of the Emperor of Earth to the throne because the Emperor of Earth was Hong Yun.

The previous developments seemed to be true, and Huang Long did not try to prevent the Emperor of Earth from returning to his throne.

He even brought in the Queen Mother of the West and the mermaids to teach them the medical techniques of herbs and weaving skills.

Although such a result will allow the underground 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 helped the Emperor of Earth gain many more achievements and made his life smoother.

I thought that Huang Long knew that Shennong was Hongyun's reincarnation, and for the sake of his old friend, he gave him some help on his way to becoming the Emperor of the Earth.

The unexpected result was that just as the grains spread throughout the human territory, the growth of the grains was cut off when the human population increased greatly and the human race could no longer live without the grains.

It's really like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron. This kind of forbearance and this method can only be described as very Huanglong!

However, the Saints of Heaven did not choose to compromise with Huang Long. Instead, they sent their disciples, taking the methods they had derived, to the human race to solve the problem of grain growth, and at the same time let the disciples earn some luck for the human race.

However, it is counterproductive.

Neither the Three Lights Holy Water of Yuanshi Tianzun nor the Eight Treasures Merit Pool Water of the Two Western Saints can make the seeds of grains germinate, let alone grow and mature.

Even the creation method of the saint Nuwa can only make the grains sprout, but they grow slowly.

After she withdrew her magical power, the crops withered instantly.

Even if one continues to operate the way of creation and force the grains to ripen, they will wither the moment they are picked.

In short, today's grains cannot survive in the human territory and cannot be eaten by humans.

The saints of the Heavenly Dao all frowned at this result.

Knowing that it is absolutely impossible for them to solve the matter by bypassing Huang Long.

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

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

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

……

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

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

"Daoyou, are you here regarding the matter of the five grains?" Saint Taiqing was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Huang Long did not pretend to be ignorant this time, but told him about the matter right from the beginning.

Such a sudden change made him more vigilant.

After a moment of silence, Youyou said:
"Indeed, I wonder what you can do to make us stop and allow the crops in the human race to 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? Are you trying to stop the Emperor of Earth from returning to his throne?"

"Tsk tsk! Daoist friend, please stop talking nonsense."

Huang Long took a sip of the Enlightenment Tea, chuckled and continued:
"I have never interfered with the matter of the Emperor of Earth returning to the throne. Everything I did was within the scope of the instructions given by the Earth Dao."

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

Having said this, Huang Long paused slightly, restrained his smile, and continued:
"Besides, I have said it from the beginning. If your plan to help the human race involves the authority of the underground, please be sure to inform me. Otherwise, I will not agree."

"Since you didn't take my words to heart, I'm sure the current situation was also within your calculations."

"With the help of the Heavenly Saints, we will surely be able to bypass the Earthly authorities and help the Earthly Race solve the grain problem, allowing the Earth Emperor to successfully obtain his position."

Saint Taiqing felt depressed when he heard this. If we had a way to solve it, why would I come to you?
He knew that Huang Long was blaming the Heavenly Saint for stepping into other people's business and making the decision on the matter of the Emperor of Earth without informing him first.

He was also blaming the Heavenly Dao Saint for using the matter of Patriarch Hongyun to plot against him.

No matter it was the Queen Mother of the West teaching the medical methods of plants or the mermaids teaching the weaving skills, most of them were intended to confuse the Sage of Heaven, for the purpose of delivering this fatal blow.

Saint Taiqing understood Huang Long's meaning and his plan. Feeling helpless, he had to continue negotiating the terms.

"I was not thoughtful enough about this matter. I wonder how you can stop it? As long as it does not harm the interests of Heaven, I can agree to it."

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

"I believe that fellow Daoist understands what I am thinking. The Emperor of Earth and the underground tunnel are inseparable. If you want to return the Emperor of Earth to his position, you cannot bypass the underground tunnel."

"We want the five grains to continue to grow, we want the strategies of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to continue, we want the human race to become the common rulers of heaven and earth, we want the human race to become the carrier of humanity."

"Then from now on, the Heavenly Dao saints are not allowed to 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 the Human Dao and the Earth Dao, and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao."

"If you agree, then the grains can continue to grow. If you disagree, please go back."

Upon hearing this, even though Saint Taiqing was prepared, his expression was still grim.

Considering that the human race can become the protagonist of heaven and earth, whether human beings are born smoothly and who will be the emperor of the earth are not so important.

Not only was the Emperor of Earth and one of the Five Emperors lost, but the tunnel would have a greater impact on the human race. This was hard for Saint Taiqing to accept. He had been planning for so long, but Huanglong had taken away so many benefits.

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

Compared with one's own path, Dihuang can naturally be abandoned.

What's more, he was prepared to bleed heavily before leaving Bajing Palace, and the request raised by Huang Long just hit his bottom line.

……

Three hundred years later, the ancestral land of Kongtong.

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

Use the grains harvested in previous years as sacrifices, personally worship the earth, sacrifice to the country, sacrifice to the authentic saints, and sacrifice to the vast earth.

From then on, the authentic saint took charge of the human race's country, controlled the harvest, and protected the earth and mountains.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the statues of Hou Tu and Huang Long exuded a mysterious Taoist charm. The grain seeds in the human territory sprouted instantly, grew and matured quickly, and the rice fragrance was in the air, and there were abundant fruits.

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

In the hearts of human beings, the underground 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 Way of Heaven, which increased the fortune of the human race and made the status of the Way of Heaven in the hearts of the human race far higher than the Way of Earth. But now it is different.

The change in humanity's attitude towards the tunnels has caused a change in humanity's fortune, and part of the fortune has begun to flow towards the tunnels.

In this regard, the Sage of Heaven could only sigh helplessly.

They knew that this was the only solution. If Huang Long was determined to stop them, the plan of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have no chance of continuing.

Especially since what Huang Long did was within the authority of the underground society, they could not find any fault with it and could only grit their teeth and accept it.

Mount Sumeru, the Pure Land.

After Jie Yin and Zhunti knew this, their faces changed constantly, and finally they shook their heads helplessly.

It was obvious that the fact that Shennong belonged to the tunnel from now on could not be changed, so they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

Fortunately, with Huanglong's help, Shennong's position as the Emperor of Earth will be secured. They can use this to repay the karma of Patriarch Hongyun, so it won't be a waste of time.

As for whether the Way of Heaven can reign supreme among the human race, they do not care much about it. Instead, they are very open-minded about it.

The Way of Heaven is supreme, they can enjoy the benefits, speed up their cultivation, have more authority in the prehistoric world, and become stronger.

The strengthening of the tunnel is also beneficial to them. The western land can benefit from it, the difficulty of repairing the earth veins will be reduced, and their hope of fulfilling their wish will be greater.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long watched the changing fortunes of the human race and felt the increasing weight of the tunnel in the hearts of the human race. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he was very satisfied with the result.

The five grains are the foundation of human survival. In the future, as long as we cultivate the five grains and gain benefits from them, the tunnels will always occupy an important position in the hearts of human beings.

And as agriculture and vegetation become more and more sound, the status of tunnels in the hearts of human beings will become more and more solid, and even rise to a higher level.

The deeper the human heart, the more important the country!
Moreover, after solving the problem of grains, the underground lineage can legitimately interfere in the affairs of the human race.

Especially during the reign of Shennong, Huanglong had absolute power of disposal.

Thinking of this, Huang Long sent several messages in succession, instructing his disciples, creatures from the Netherworld, and members of the Dragon Clan to enter the human territory.

On the one hand, it was to help Shennong and increase the achievements of the Emperor of Earth.

On the other hand, one can gain merit and fortune at the same time. Merit is a holy thing for cultivation, as long as it does not reach Huanglong's level.

Afterwards, 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, earth immortals should cover the mountains and rivers of the vast land, assisting the operation of the underground tunnels and the reproduction of all living beings. Naturally, the human race is also one of the main coverage areas of earth immortals.

After dealing with this matter, Huang Long came to the garden, looked at the innate gourd vine filled with chaotic energy and with bits of starlight inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

Today, the innate gourd vine has become an innate treasure. Even though its power is not as strong as the three treasures of creation, it still has terrifying power.

Moreover, the innate gourd vine is still evolving towards the next step. In ten thousand years at most, it will be able to give birth to the Zhoutian stars inside, making its power even greater.

Afterwards, Huang Long returned to the pavilion again, and as the chess player, he looked down at the wilderness and observed the changes in the human race.
