Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1595 Linjiangxian 16

Meng Changqin's grass planting operation was not smooth at all from the beginning. In addition to the fact that the grass seeds sown in the first two days were killed by the heat of the weather and the lack of heat, he later covered the sown grass seeds with hay according to Jiang Xinxin's suggestion, and finally the grass seeds survived for three to five days. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But who would have thought that some people saw that he still had water to soak the grass seeds, so they gathered at his residence and knelt down to beg him to give the child a sip of water.

"Good man, please give my child a sip of water. He's still so young..."

Those people were extremely pitiful. Their lips were dry and cracked, and their bodies were skinny, with only a handful of bones left. Moreover, those who stayed here were the old, weak, sick and disabled who had no way to run away, otherwise they would have gone somewhere else long ago.

Although Meng Changqin had lost a lot of weight, his spirit was different from these people. Then all his things were robbed, even the grass seeds were taken away and eaten.

Jiang Xinxin was helpless, and Meng Changqin couldn't help but feel despair. Hanlong, who had been hiding nearby and watching the entire process, sneered, "I've already said it before, mortals are greedy and selfish. You are indeed a different mortal, but you can't stop the trend of the times."

As Hanlong retreated after leaving behind a series of loud laughs, Meng Changqin's depressed mood was lifted again. He smiled and said to Jiang Xinxin, "Master, don't worry about me. Everything that has happened now just proves the importance of education. Even if I am not as good as Yinghuo, I will do my best!"

Jiang Xinxin was also somewhat encouraged, but she still advised, "Education itself goes against human nature. You want to persuade people to be good and teach them to understand right from wrong, which is inherently very difficult."

Meng Changqin laughed and said, "Layman, I know what I am doing. I also know that I may not see any signs of success in my lifetime, but the world needs someone to do these things."

"They may be ignorant, but deep down they also pursue all the beauty in the world. I only need to show them a little bit of that beauty, and I believe they will be motivated to follow me and learn."

hiss--

Jiang Xinxin sighed secretly, this boy is so talented!

He has the demeanor of a saint!

If Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi can help Meng Changqin grow, then their love tribulation will be easily solved!

So Hua Ruyue, who received another message from Jiang Xinxin, became dazed, which made Bai Jiusi very worried. He kept asking her what was wrong and what happened.

Hua Ruyue handed the letter to Bai Jiusi, swallowed to moisten her throat, and finally spoke: "Yuan Xin said that Meng Changqin has the qualities of a saint, and invited us to help Meng Changqin attain enlightenment, saying that heaven will surely bestow merit, and if so, our love tribulation will be easily overcome..."

Bai Jiusi's hands trembled as he read the letter. He understood the grandeur of a saint appearing in the mortal world even better than Hua Ruyue and Jiang Xinxin. Faced with such temptation, he couldn't help himself...

Fortunately, Bai Jiusi still had his sanity. After taking a few deep breaths, he completely suppressed his impulsive heart. "Ayue, while it's good to do good deeds, we really shouldn't do too much. Have you forgotten the connection between Meng Changqin's grandfather, Meng Chi, and us?"

Bai Jiusi was thinking about Meng Chi, feeling helpless. He couldn't help but pinch his nose and try to relax.

Hua Ruyue finally came back to her senses. She smiled bitterly and finally understood why Bai Jiusi had not allowed her to interfere in the life and death of mortals in the first place.

"Jiusi, I understand. You don't need to say more. I really understand..."

Even though she did not regret saving Meng Chi, she also knew that Meng Chi was on the verge of life and death because of her. Now Meng Chi's grandson Meng Changqin showed the demeanor of a saint. Everything seemed to be the blessing of saving Meng Chi, but she knew that she could not accept this blessing at all.

Now that he has left behind a good deed, it is certainly worth talking about it, but what if Meng Chi’s descendants are immoral and even endanger the human dynasty?

Could she and Bai Jiusi afford to bear such a huge consequence?!

Hua Ruyue tried to focus all her attention on the restoration of Wuju Mountain. She suggested to Bai Jiusi, "Wuju Mountain's affairs are the only area where we can help right now. Those grass seeds have been stolen and eaten. Even if Meng Changqin wants to educate the world, it won't solve the current predicament. We need to continue collecting seeds from outside."

Bai Jiusi readily agreed, saying, "Yes, the war between the grassland barbarians and the Central Plains dynasty hasn't stopped yet, and trade between the two sides hasn't resumed. Perhaps we should consider looking to the Western Regions for a solution. I heard that many places in the Western Regions also rely on herding for a living."

Since they are grazing, there must be grass, so it is not surprising that there are grass seeds. They just need to collect the grass seeds now, which should not be a big deal.

Jiang Xinxin explained the method of conserving water and soil very clearly. What must be done now is to let grass grow on the loess and use the grass roots to hold the soil. In this way, when the drought is over and heavy rain comes, the soil will not be washed away by the flood and cause other disasters.

Hua Ruyue went out to ask merchants traveling to the Western Regions to bring back grass seeds from the Western Regions. Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue acted separately. After being busy for several days, they couldn't find any merchants traveling from the northern grasslands. They could only go to Wuju Mountain with Hua Ruyue as agreed.

On the way, Hua Ruyue saw a once-beautiful paradise transformed into a desolate, yellow earth-covered landscape. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, "If it were in the past, I would have gone straight to the Drought Dragon, and maybe even killed it to end the drought..."

Bai Jiusi couldn't bear to see Hua Ruyue looking so depressed, so he quickly comforted her, "Ayue, this is probably the meaning of our journey to the mortal world. It's great that you realize this."

Hua Ruyue took a deep breath. Bai Jiusi's words did comfort her a little. However, thinking of Jiang Xinxin, she smiled with a hint of relief and said to Bai Jiusi, "To be honest, it seems that all our progress started with meeting Yuan Xin. What do you think Yuan Xin's background is?"

Bai Jiusi had long speculated about Jiang Xinxin's origins, but after multiple verifications, all his speculations were overturned one by one, so he did not explain it to Hua Ruyue.

Now that Hua Ruyue brought it up, he finally had the chance to say what he had been thinking about for a long time. "Yuan Xin is a Taoist name, which means she has a master. We don't know which immortal master she learned from yet, but I suspect it's a senior who has already reached Xuantian."

Xuantian's seniors were not only superior in cultivation, they also had to manage more and more complicated matters. If they had not sealed their cultivation early on, Xuantian's messengers would have come looking for them.

The two of them thought about it all the way and finally found Meng Changqin and Jiang Xinxin who had moved to Wuju Mountain.

Jiang Xinxin has some cultivation experience, so there is no change even if she doesn't want to eat. However, Meng Changqin's foundation has been damaged due to long-term hunger. Seeing this, Hua Ruyue became a little restless.
