Chapter 280 It is strictly forbidden to plant trees and let rain here

. "The academy has repeatedly emphasized... you still want to break the rules of Sand City!"

"Tell me! What is the first lesson of Forest Academy?"

The tall tree man looked down at the three squirrels at his feet.

"We praise God Yao and life!"

The pine-shoe mice said in unison: "We guard the desert and the sea of ​​clouds!"

"Then look at what you did! You furry idiots who always forget!"

The tree man's voice was like muffled thunder, and the leaves on the umbrella-shaped canopy suddenly expanded under its anger, making its already sturdy body appear even larger.

The three squirrels were so scared that they curled up on the ground with their heads buried in the grass, leaving only their furry tails exposed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shu, I couldn't help it..."

"What can you bear? You won't have any food today!"

The squirrels were all dejected.

They couldn't help but murmur.

"We like to plant trees. Seeing such a desolate desert, we will definitely want to plant something. Otherwise, it will be a pity..."

"That's right, it's painful to see such a large area of ​​land abandoned."

"It would be nice if there were pine trees or sour raspberries there, and some roses."

"Shut up, everyone!"

The tree man was extremely angry.

It raised its branch arm, pointed at a few shrews on the ground and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing? That is the last desert area in the world, and it is the key protection area of ​​the entire Yunzhong Temple!"

"If we weren't sure that you had just arrived, you would all have to go to the gravel world outside to dig coal just for destroying the local ecological protection area!"

Hearing about coal mining, several pine mice couldn't help but tremble.

They bravely said: "We thought there..."

"I don't want you to assume! I want you to obey!"

The tree man interrupted their explanation and said sternly: "This is the last time. Tomorrow you will all go to the desert to serve as sand rangers for a month."

"Forest Academy has been under tremendous pressure this time. Your behavior has made the entire academy a laughing stock... If you do this again, you will be expelled!"

When the squirrels heard this, they felt relieved.

Teacher Shu scolded them, but finally saved them.

They also don't quite understand.

In other worlds, deserts would be planted with trees and gradually transformed into oases and places suitable for living. But in Sand City, large tracts of desert were deliberately preserved and no one was allowed to destroy them.

"I've said it over and over again, use the time you spend playing and fighting to study, read more..."

The tree man felt a little disappointed.

It sighed and could only explain: "Fifteen epochs ago, this place was still a vast desert. There were sand dunes everywhere. The whole world was only clouds and sand. It was dry and desolate, with almost no life."

"This was originally a world that was about to be destroyed. All traces of the world before the epoch disappeared without a trace. Only the Cloud Monk became an illusion in the clouds. The rules and order of the world have collapsed for many years. It is only a matter of time before it is completely shattered and annihilated."

"But Yao God decided to rebuild this place. He recast the rules, repaired the fragmented world, allowed rain and soil to be born again, and life began to sprout again. He saved this ancient and terminally ill world."

A pine-shoe mouse couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, why did God Yao rebuild this place? Since it's already broken, why not find a better world?"

Other companions nearby also echoed: "That's right, Lord Yao is omnipotent. What good is there in this world?"

"Most gods are indeed as you say."

The tree man calmed down and said, "Since it's already damaged, throw it away."

"But the reason why Lord Yao is so great and revered and followed by all gods is not only because of his immense power and omniscient wisdom, but also because of his compassion and kindness to the weak, and his tolerance and respect for all races and civilizations."

"Before the era stopped, Yunzhong Temple also gave birth to a brilliant culture. There were gods Yuncui Ke and various life forms. Gods and humans worked together to make this world perfect... Until the end, only the monk Zhike was left here alone."

"Lord Yaoshen believes that it is very difficult for any race to create a civilization."

"Even if there is only one person left in a civilization, it means that the fire of civilization has never been extinguished. Therefore, Yao Shen used the monk Zhike as the fire, trying to restore vitality here and reproduce the glorious civilization of the past."

The tree man looked at the confused students at his feet.

"If there is that day, I mean if... you are the only ones left in the world. You must do everything you can to survive. As long as you keep the spark of the past, there will be a future of revival."

The squirrels that were originally chirping seemed to understand something at this time, and they all nodded seriously.

The tree man changed the subject to something lighter: "Who can tell me who was the first mayor of Sand City? If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with a pine cone."

"I know! It's Apostle Slymod!"

A pine-shrew spoke very quickly.

"very good."

The tree man threw a pine cone to it, and the pine mouse took it happily, peeled out a pine nut and put it in its mouth.

"For the next question, the reward is also a pine cone. Listen carefully."

"What is the purpose of building Sand City?"

Another shrew immediately said, "Me, me, me! The Sand City was built to host a martial arts tournament!"

"Although the most important event in Sand City was the Martial Arts Tournament, this answer is incorrect."

The tree man shook his branch finger.

The third squirrel's eyes lit up: "In order to expand civilization, to allow the Yao civilization to come into contact with other divine civilizations, to integrate other civilizations into the Yao cultural circle, and to further promote development, that is called..."

It scratched its head and finally thought of an idea: "External civilization cycle! No, it's the external civilization cycle!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Correct. Here's your reward."

The tree man threw another pine cone to it.

"One last chance."

The tree man looked at the squirrel that had answered incorrectly and said, "As a symbol of establishing diplomatic relations, before the United Kingdom of Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom sent an envoy to Sand City, Sand City also formally sent the first envoy to the United Kingdom in the name of the city. Who is this envoy?"

The last squirrel shouted, "Ice Fist! It's Mr. Ice Fist of the North!"

"Wrong idiot!"

The two good brothers next to him were so anxious that they couldn't help but say, "It's Mr. Yu Gu, the lone patriot!"

"Oh, yes, yes, it's Mr. Fishgull!" The Squirrel, who had answered incorrectly, quickly changed his words.

The tree man glared at it and said, "Right is right, wrong is wrong."

“If you don’t seize the opportunity, you will accept failure.”

The other two pine squirrels couldn't bear to see their good brother go hungry, so they each gave him some pine nuts. All three pine squirrels ate until they were half full, so they were not hungry.

The tree man suddenly saw a slowly moving sand dune emerging outside the city.

It immediately said to the students at its feet: "The monk who knows guests is here. You should hurry over. If you arrive early, you can ask him many questions. This is a rare opportunity. You must seize it this time."

“Okay, okay!”

This time, the three squirrels hurriedly ran out of the city, and students from other races were also running. It was not a common thing to listen to the lectures of an experienced apostle.

The tree man looked from afar and saw the tall monk was surrounded by many people. Behind him, as the legend said, there were 18 disciples, all of whom were disaster beasts.

The monk who knows guests tirelessly explains and answers questions for everyone. No one knows more about things before the Christian era than he does.

As the oldest eyewitness of Yunzhong Temple and the watcher who has never left since the beginning of the era, the monk Zhike has extraordinary significance to this world.

The tree man remembered that he found himself in this desert city when he opened his eyes. It was a tree species that was given life and mission by the god Yao himself.

When it was still a little tree man, it was carried all the way to class by its ice giant friend, just like those young people outside.

That was the first era after the restart of this world era. The Sand City was extremely empty, the weather was so hot that the sand could produce smoke, and the strong wind blew away many leaves.

I was dried out by the sun, and my friend's body felt like it was melting.

But the two young scholars gritted their teeth and persisted, asking the monk for advice on various knowledge. The apostle shaped like a big fish also answered them one by one, and even built a cellar with sand to prevent them from being damaged by the sun.

That was many years ago.

At that time, what Shu Ren and his friends said most was that it was too dry and hot here. It would be great if it could rain more and have an oasis.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, most of Yunzhong Temple has turned into an oasis.

Members of various races live together in the Sand City, including Yao humans, cave monsters, sandworms, Wuji people, bamboo people, reed people, funeral people, ghosts... Only two wonders and the desert in the area where the former site of the Yunqiuke Divine Kingdom is located have been preserved and commemorated as a legacy of pre-era civilization.

Stone tablets and wooden signs were erected at the edge of the desert, with stern slogans written on them.

——It is forbidden to destroy the desert! ——It is strictly forbidden to plant trees and rain here! Violators will be punished! ——Protecting desert heritage is everyone's responsibility!

The tree man stretched out his branches.

It looked up at the sky.

For Lord Yaoshen, transforming a world may be just a piece of cake.

But for the life living in this world and the long-dormant Yunzhong Temple civilization, this earth-shaking change is a miracle of resurrection from the dead.
