Chapter 186: Stealing chicken but losing rice
Things change rapidly.

Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

After grains began to grow again among humans, Shennong, under the guidance of Yunxiao, invented many agricultural equipment, such as hoes, plows, and water wheels.

Under the guidance of Bai Mi, a senior foodie, Shennong not only enriched the daily diet of human beings, but also crops such as sweet potatoes and peanuts, which further increased the grain production of human beings.

Today, the speed of agricultural development of the human race is much faster than what the time travelers remember.

Even later on, the human race's grain production had exceeded the rate of consumption. If mana was not used to preserve them, many crops would rot due to being stored for too long.

In order to utilize grain more effectively, under Lingxi's guidance, Shennong soon invented the method of brewing wine to further improve the utilization rate of grain.

With sufficient food and a glass of good wine from time to time, the happiness of the human race was greatly improved, and Shennong's reputation among the human race became higher and higher.

During these three thousand years, Shennong not only helped the human race develop agriculture, but also focused on the research of herbal medicine.

He wanted to compile a herbal book for the human race, recording the effects of various medicinal herbs within the human race's territory and sorting them out clearly for the tribe members.

He wanted to create a medical system for the human race, to develop medicine suitable for the human race, so that the human race would no longer be afraid of disease or pain, and would not be helpless in the face of disease and pain.

He also wanted to combine the herbal medicine methods taught by the Queen Mother of the West to create external alchemy for the human race, so that the human race can make better use of the magical herbs in the forest, which can not only assist in spiritual practice, but also heal injuries.

After Shennong set his goal, he began to travel across the human territory and taste hundreds of herbs. Before he knew it, two thousand years had passed.

This day.

Huang Long frowned slightly and looked towards the coast of the East China Sea.

I saw a delicate and pretty little girl coming to the human tribe on the coast of the East China Sea alone.

This woman was the daughter of Shennong - Nuwa, who later became the divine bird Jingwei.

Originally Huang Long thought that during the reign of Emperor Di, the affairs of the human race were dominated by the underground tunnels, and as long as he did not make special arrangements, the story of Jingwei filling the sea would not have happened.

But today, as the girl came to the coast of the East China Sea, Huang Long felt a vague sense of something.

He knew that the Heavenly Dao was reluctant to give up the throne of the Emperor of Earth and wanted to use the girl to create a rift between Huang Long and the Goddess, so that the Heavenly Dao could influence Shennong's view of the Earthly Dao and make the Emperor of Earth return to the Heavenly Dao.

It's a pity that everyone underestimated how much Huang Long valued Dihuang. Even when he was practicing enlightenment, he always devoted some of his mind to Shennong, the great sages of the human race, and other important figures of the human race.

Among them naturally included Shennong’s daughter, Nuwa.

If Nvwa really died near Guixu, and the Heavenly Saint interfered, it might have caused Shennong to become dissatisfied with Huanglong.

The ownership of the Emperor of Earth may also change as a result.

After some thought, Huang Long decided to just watch. As long as he was there, there was no way the girl would die.

Since Tiandao can use Nvwa to create rift between Huanglong and Shennong, Huanglong can also use Nvwa in turn to create dissatisfaction between Shennong and Tiandao.

Decades later.

The girl rode on a raft downstream, playing in the water and heading towards the East China Sea.

Because she is the daughter of the human race's leader, the girl has a special physique and even though she is over a hundred years old, she still looks like a child.

Just like Lingxi back then, she was blessed with good fortune and her talent in cultivation far exceeded that of ordinary people. However, it was precisely because of her improved good fortune that her body had difficulty growing and her mind became more naive, appearing a little naive.

However, even though she looks like a child, she has a good cultivation level and is proficient in various magical powers.

It is for this reason that Shennong felt at ease letting her go out and play.

The girl had lived in the wild inland since she was born and had never seen the sea, so she had long been curious about it.

After getting Shennong's permission, they immediately boarded the raft and drifted with the current, heading straight for the estuary.

The East China Sea is vast and its waters are clear and blue.

Such a vast and boundless scene made the girl who saw the sea for the first time feel relaxed and excited.

She simply jumped into the sea and played in it like a fish. Magical power surged in her hands, and the surrounding sea water sometimes turned into dragons and sometimes turned into magical flowers. She had a lot of fun, and her laughter was pleasant to the ears, echoing on the sea.

The sea is boundless. Generally speaking, even the fight between Taiyi Golden Immortals may take a long time before attracting the attention of other creatures in the sea.

But for some reason, the girl had just attracted the attention of a creature not far away while playing in the sea.

This is a little dragon wearing gorgeous clothes and with dragon horns on his head. His name is Ao Yi.

He possesses pure dragon blood, and anyone who sees him will think he is a member of the dragon clan.

This is indeed the case, but this dragon is not from the Four Seas, but a member of the dragon clan that the Four Seas Dragon Clan brought back from the Primordial Continent more than 10,000 years ago.

After the dragon clan escaped from trouble, Huang Long once said that the dragon clan members should return to the four directions of the sea.

Therefore, under the arrangement of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, a part of the dragon clansmen of the four seas left the four seas and entered the prehistoric land to search for the dragon clan members who were left in various places in the prehistoric land and bring them back to the four seas.

Ao Yi was one of them. Huang Long had never expected that he would be taken advantage of by the Saint of Heaven.

With the help of the Heavenly Saint who could change the destiny, if Ao Yi really killed the girl, Huang Long would not be able to explain himself.

"It seems that we need to conduct a thorough investigation within the Dragon Clan as well!"

Huang Long shook his head and smiled, but was not angry about it.

He knew very well that once a force grew strong, problems would arise sooner or later. Either there would be disloyal members of the tribe, or there would be pawns planted by other forces.

It is obvious that Ao Yi was influenced by the saints of heaven during these years in the prehistoric times, and thus lost his sense of belonging to the dragon clan and became a pawn they placed in the dragon clan.

And today is the day when this chess piece comes into play.

Following some mysterious feeling, Ao Yi came to the coast of the East China Sea. He saw a little girl playing in the water at a glance, and ran over to her, wanting to play with her.

Unfortunately, the girl had been out for a long time and had played enough. What's more, Ao Yi was a strange dragon, so she naturally didn't want to have too many transactions with him. So she refused Ao Yi's request on the grounds that she wanted to return to the human tribe.

Little did she know that no matter what she said, Ao Yi would find an excuse to take action.

Therefore, after being rejected by the girl, Ao Yi became furious instantly. He immediately mobilized his magic power and displayed his innate magical powers. The sea water turned into a giant hand and slapped the girl down.

Ao Yi is a pure-blooded dragon and has the advantage of geographical location. The girl is naturally no match for him. After just a fight, she is pressed into the sea by the giant hand.

Followed by.

The waves continued to hit her.

In the end, the girl died in the sea not long after she survived.

If it was a normal death, the girl's soul would return to the underworld after her death. Even if Huang Long really could not clear up his relationship with Ao Yi, he could resolve the misunderstanding by resurrecting the girl.

But after the girl's death, her soul did not enter the underworld. Instead, under the influence of the rhythm of the Dao, the obsession in her heart was magnified. The obsession completely controlled her soul and turned her into a Jingwei divine bird.

Jingwei lost all her five senses and her mind was confused. She was only obsessed with filling up the East China Sea. She traveled between the mountains and forests, holding branches, leaves and stones in her mouth and throwing them into the East China Sea.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

At the same time, Shennong, who was tasting hundreds of herbs, suddenly felt a pain in his heart and turned to look towards the East China Sea.

At the moment his youngest daughter died, he felt the girl's breath disappear through some mysterious perception, and was suddenly filled with grief.

At this moment, an old human came anxiously, shouting "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences" and told him that the girl was killed by Ao Yi of the dragon clan.

He learned that not only had his youngest daughter's body become food for fish and shrimp and had been eaten clean, but her soul had also been damaged, and she had turned into a mindless Jingwei.

Shennong was furious, and immediately had the urge to lead the human race's strong men to fight against the dragon race without caring about anything. He had always been separated from his little daughter and felt guilty about it.

I thought that after he stepped down, I would have plenty of time to make up for the father-daughter relationship.

Who would have thought that all this has become a fantasy.

But Shennong is the leader of the human race after all. He knows that the dragon clan is a powerful clan from ancient times. Even when they are subject to karma, they are not something that humans can deal with, let alone the dragon clan today.

If we really go to war with the dragon clan because of personal grudges, it will only put the human race in danger.

Helpless, Shennong could only sigh and came to the coast of the East China Sea. Looking at the Jingwei bird busying around, he felt very sad.

Especially because of the blood relationship, even if Jingwei had lost her mind, she would feel close to Shennong after seeing him, which made him even more sad.

Coupled with the guidance of the human elder, he felt a little more resentment towards Huang Long in his heart.

Who in the ancient world doesn't know that the four seas and the underworld are all Huanglong's territory? In these places, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the saint.

If Huang Long didn't know that the girl was killed, no one would believe him if he told others about it.

If Huang Long had come to the rescue, this would never have happened.

But Huang Long is a saint, how dare he go to Guixu to argue with Huang Long?
What's more, he also knew that even if he died in the East China Sea, Huang Long would not be obliged to rescue him.

So he just had some resentment in his heart, but he did not, and did not dare, hate Huang Long.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the saint has boundless magical powers and may be able to save the little princess..."

Seeing that the emotions had been channeled to a certain extent, the human elder spoke up and made a suggestion.

This incident happened in the East China Sea. Since Huang Long did not help, he, a genuine saint, would naturally not appear on Shennong's list of people to help. So there is only one suitable candidate.

But before the human elder could say anything, he saw a young Taoist priest in a yellow Taoist robe standing next to Shennong.

"Are you blaming me for not helping you?"

Shennong was slightly stunned. He hadn't noticed at all that there was an extra person beside him.

When he turned around and looked, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out and he bowed down in haste.

"Meet the Yellow Dragon Saint!"

Huang Long smiled slightly. With his status, he naturally wouldn't care about the visit of the human race's leader.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Your Majesty, I do feel somewhat dissatisfied."

"That's honest."

Instead of blaming him, Huang Long showed a look of satisfaction.

Then he gently waved his right hand, and the old human disappeared.

Without waiting for Shennong to ask more questions, Huang Long said meaningfully:

"Don't you find it strange? The East China Sea is so big, and the dragons have lived near the Dragon Palace all year round. Why did the girl encounter Ao Yi the first time she came here, and kill him without saying a word?"

"And why after the girl died, her soul did not return to the netherworld, but was controlled by her obsession and turned into the divine bird Jingwei?"

Shennong was a man of extraordinary intelligence. He realized something was wrong after hearing Huang Long's hint. It was all too coincidental. He couldn't believe that there was no one behind this.

Since Huang Long showed up in person and pointed out the matter, it means that he was not the one who did it. After all, he is a saint and there is no need for him to lie about such a small matter.

Then the people who dared to do this on Huanglong's territory and lead Shennong to hate Huanglong were about to be revealed. Looking at the entire prehistoric world, there were only seven people who dared to do this.

Shennong looked up at the sky but said nothing.

After a long time, he sighed helplessly, and he looked a little older.

If this matter was really done by the Heavenly Saint, then what could he say or do? All he could say was that this was the fate of the girl.

When he learned that Nuwa was killed in the East China Sea and Huang Long turned a blind eye, he felt resentful, but it was just resentment. After all, a saint had no obligation to help.

Now that he knew that the girl's death was most likely caused by the hands of a Heavenly Saint, even his resentment seemed powerless.

But at this moment, Huang Long smiled slightly.

"It is not my place to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Saint, but..."

At this point, Huang Long paused, glanced at Jingwei in the distance, and continued:
"However, I can restore the girl's soul."

Hearing this, Shennong was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy. He knew that since Huang Long took the initiative to offer, he was willing to help.

He immediately bowed and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder how the saint can help?"

"It is not difficult to revive the girl's soul, but the girl died because of the calculations of the Heavenly Saint. If the girl's soul is revived and walks in the prehistoric world, I am afraid she will eventually suffer this disaster."

"My suggestion is that the girl be renamed Jingwei and become a disciple of the Guixu lineage, a second-generation disciple. Do you have any objections?"

Shennong was immediately overjoyed. Among the countless creatures in the ancient world, who wouldn't want to join the Guixu lineage?

However, Huang Long’s requirements for accepting disciples are extremely high, and there are only a few people in the Guixu lineage so far.

Now that Nuwa... no, it's Jingwei who can not only revive her spirit and soul, but also join the Guixu lineage, how could he have any reason to refuse?

"The saint is merciful and kind, and Shennong will never forget this!"

"In that case, I will take Jingwei back with me. You still have your own way to go, so don't worry about this matter. When you have completed your merits, it will be the day when father and daughter will meet again."

As Huang Long waved his sleeves, the Jingwei in the sky above the East China Sea disappeared. Then Huang Long took a step forward and also disappeared over the coast of the East China Sea.

This time, the Saint of Heaven failed miserably and pushed the Emperor of Earth completely to Huanglong's side.

It’s not that the Heavenly Saint is stupid. If Huang Long hadn’t been paying close attention to important figures like Shennong, he would not have discovered this in time.

When the human elder suggests that Shennong seek help from the Heavenly Saint, then the Emperor of Earth will have no chance with Huanglong.

All I can say is that Huang Long narrowly won.

Shennong glanced at the East China Sea, put aside his worries, and left with peace of mind. He continued to travel in the human territory, tasting hundreds of herbs and perfecting the achievements of the Emperor of Earth.
