Chapter 1596 Linjiangxian 17
Meng Changqin is a smart person, and smart people tend to go in two directions after seeing the world. One is to become cynical, and the other is to polish themselves to be more smooth but still have sharp edges in their hearts because of their persistence.
Meng Changqin belongs to the latter.
In the past, after he had noticed the differences between Jiang Xinxin, Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, he had also become cynical and hated those high-ranking gods, believing that they ignored the suffering of mortals and enjoyed their offerings and incense for nothing.
But after Jiang Xinxin persuaded him, although he found it difficult to change his inherent cognition for the time being, he also knew that some things cannot be simply judged. For example, people are divided into good and evil, so gods should also be divided into two categories: those who are conscientious and those who are lazy.
Now, after experiencing so many things, Meng Changqin felt that what Jiang Xinxin said before, that most of the sufferings of the human race came from within the human race, and that gods should not interfere in the internal affairs of the human race, was extremely correct.
As a human being, Meng Changqin certainly hopes that the human race can get better and better, so he is determined to educate the people in all directions and plans to build a school in Wuju Mountain. From then on, he will teach everyone and anyone who comes to study will be accepted as his disciple.
Jiang Xinxin somewhat agreed with this. "As the saying goes, strong winds reveal strong grass. Now the land of the Three States has been reduced to a pile of yellow earth. This is the cycle of cause and effect. If we can restore Wuju Mountain to its former greenery, maybe Hanlong will change his mind about the people who stayed behind."
Of course, this assumes that those who stay are sensible and willing to repent.
Hanlong just thought Meng Changqin was very interesting, so he secretly released water in the place chosen by him and Jiang Xinxin. He really released water. The next day after Meng Changqin set up the awning, he dug out a spring in the yard.
However, Meng Changqin did not intend to use the spring water to attract students to enroll. He spent half a day every day repairing his residence and the future school building, and the rest of the time going out to publicize the damage caused to Wuju Mountain by the actions of the residents in the past, which led to the current unsolvable drought.
It wasn't that Meng Changqin had made a vow to teach everyone without discrimination and then forgot it, so he excluded those who had no remorse towards Wuju Mountain. Instead, he felt that the most urgent task was to restore Wuju Mountain to its former greenery as soon as possible.
In order to restore Wuju Mountain to its former greenness, Jiang Xinxin could only offer some suggestions and assist Meng Changqin in her teaching, but there was really nothing else she could do.
Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, who came to help later, followed suit and did not dare to interfere too much. They just received grass seeds from afar every day, soaked them with spring water, sowed them, covered them with hay, and carefully protected the growth of the grass seeds.
As for the problem of daily watering, Jiang Xinxin provided a tattered fishing net that could capture the rising water vapor every night. The only job was to move the frame supporting the fishing net every day, and leave the watering to the fishing net.
It is thanks to this method that Wuju Mountain has gradually shown a bit of green, and the elderly, weak and sick people in the surrounding area who were unable to escape the famine are finally able to survive well because of the meager drinking water and the food that Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue have been constantly purchasing.
Although these people were greedy, they gradually regained their rationality and kindness when their food was no longer a threat. Every day when they were free, they came to help sow grass seeds, build hay, and do what they could to contribute to the recovery of Wuju Mountain.
All these things were seen by Hanlong. He simply and crudely believed that these people had begun to repent and take actions to remedy the situation, and were now people who could speak. Therefore, he secretly opened a lot of back doors for everyone. At least in the areas covered with green grass, there was no shortage of water.
No one knew when the war outside would end, and more and more people gathered at Wuju Mountain. At first, they were mostly old people, children, and women who were not pleasing to the eyes. Later, strong men also returned here, and Wuju Mountain quickly regained its green color.
However, everyone knows that there are no more minerals that can make people rich at the foot of Wuju Mountain, and it will take many years for towering trees to appear on the mountain again. As for the spirituality that exists in memory, it depends on when Hanlong is willing to completely forgive humans.
In fact, Hanlong had already decided to give up Wuju Mountain as his residence, because after the environment of Wuju Mountain was completely destroyed by humans, it was no longer suitable for him to live in, nor for human survival.
It was some kind of obsession or revelation from heaven that prevented him from moving away immediately. It could be regarded as witnessing an act of human atonement. He felt that when Wuju Mountain returned to its green state, it would be the time for him to leave this place completely.
However, before leaving, Hanlong still solemnly emphasized to Hua Ruyue, Bai Jiusi, Jiang Xinxin, and Meng Changqin, "The culprit for the consecutive years of drought in the three states where Wuju Mountain is located is not me, but humans themselves. It is their greed that has allowed them to indulge in their reckless demands on Wuju Mountain, ultimately destroying it beyond recognition..."
Even though Hanlong had already decided to leave Wuju Mountain, when he actually took action, he still couldn't help feeling some melancholy.
He did not occupy Wuju Mountain before humans came to live there, but he protected the stable life of the human race around Wuju Mountain for thousands of years. He did not expect that it would end up like this.
Hanlong left with regret, and Meng Changqin officially started to prepare for his own school. He said that there should be no discrimination in education, so he must do it.
Jiang Xinxin could only agree with this, but she also reminded him, "You didn't ignore women in the past. You were even very happy to teach them to read and write, teaching them everything that outsiders thought only men could learn. I hope you will continue to uphold this principle in the future."
Meng Changqin swore a secret oath: "Please rest assured, sir. Although my teachings prevent me from viewing women as equals to men, I will definitely not deliberately restrict women's development."
After hearing what Jiang Xinxin and Meng Changqin had said, Hua Ruyue couldn't help but turn around, grabbed Jiang Xinxin, and asked, "Yuan Xin, from what you said, are you leaving again?"
Jiang Xinxin nodded and said to Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi with a smile, "I don't need to worry about your fate anymore. Just live your lives in peace. When the Heavenly Dao is satisfied, you will naturally be able to return to the Heavenly Realm."
To be honest, if they continued to train, Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi would not gain anything. Jiang Xinxin thought that it would be up to them to figure out the outcome, so she quickly took them back to heaven. Anyway, they both understood their responsibilities, and this ordeal was truly a complete success.
But Tiandao felt that this was not enough, and he wanted them to have a love affair and preferably have a child!
Jiang Xinxin looked at Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, who were looking confused, and continued to fight for them: "Dating is one thing, getting married and having children is another."
"You didn't stipulate that immortals can't fall in love, but even if it's difficult for immortals to have children after they get together, it's still possible for them to have children. Do you want to see the heavens completely occupied by the descendants of the immortals?"
