Sword Saint Priest and Lolita Priestess

"Are we really here for the practice of witches, not for a picnic?" Suppressing his anger with his good upbringing, Saori Asakura's strangely colored pupils stared coldly at the two dissolute figures.

Yuzhong Ming, who was leaning against him, swallowed the grapes in his mouth, and then lightly licked the lady's fingertips, looking at the other person's rapidly flushed cheeks, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.With the bat fan in his hand, he tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, and replied nonchalantly, "It's you who is cultivating the spiritual power of a witch, and Ning Ning and I are having a picnic. We don't delay, right?"

"Oh? Didn't someone ask our Asakura family to prepare more fruits and snacks in the name of a picnic? Watermelon is a fruit that cannot be seen this season." Asakura Saori's tone rose slightly: "I am because of every day. I ran out of money to go to an izakaya, so I made up the idea of ​​our Asakura family?".

"Cough cough! Don't make false accusations of being Qingbai out of thin air." Yu Zhongming coughed twice and regarded himself as dissolving the embarrassment.Then he ignored the sarcasm of the other party with his excellent thickness of 51 years, and began to change the subject: "You stayed by the lake for a long time, did you notice what I want you to pay attention to?"

"No! How do I know what you want me to pay attention to".

"Dumb!" Yu Zhongming pointed his fan at the young girl, and suddenly shouted: "Ning Ning, come and tell her what you saw?"

Ning Ningqin, who was still happily eating and drinking, looked at the two people in front of her blankly, not knowing what was going on.She was stunned for a while, tilted her head, and answered in a puzzled tone: "Big fish eat small fish? Small fish eat shrimp? Dried shrimp eat mud?

"That's right! That's right!" Yuzhong Ming seemed to be shouting excitedly: "Ning Ning, you are indeed a qualified person. I will give you this number for a month when I work at a shrine in the future." He stretched out a hand and pointed to its sign.

"10W?"

"No, 1w. But fresh scallops are enough for tea."

"make a deal!"

Asakura Saori, whose face was getting colder and colder, couldn't hold back his anger, he straightened up, opened the bat fan, and swayed gently.A heavy fog came suddenly, filling the entire forest in a few breaths.The lake was covered in mist, and it kept rolling over.

"Look at the lake."

Asakura Saori heard the words and looked towards the lake, and saw the clouds and mists drifting and gathering together, evolving into a scene of warbler and flying grass growing, prosperity and decline, and all things competing for freedom.

There are flowers, plants and trees taking root under the earth, absorbing dew and growing vigorously;

There are great staggering beasts that eat trees and feed their young;

There are flexible and convenient animals that open their claws to tear the throat of their prey;

There are blue-colored demons hunting human beings, eating flesh and blood;

Humans with unclothed robes kill demons and turn them into nourishing and nourishing earth.

Finally, there are plants and trees that absorb the aura particles buried on the ground and grow more vigorously.

"So, what did you see?" Yu Zhongming gently moved his steps into the water amid the mist, and walked on the surface of the water, causing faint ripples.After a while, walking into the center of the lake, Yuzhong Ming's white hunting clothes fluttered with the breeze.He opened his arms, as if embracing the world, and spoke again, his voice echoing over the lake.

"What did you see? What did you understand?"

Not waiting for the stunned young girl by the lake to return to her senses, Yuzhong Ming waved the bat fan again, and the cloud and mist suddenly disappeared like a sudden appearance.A sense of dizziness came, and the world turned upside down in front of him, as if the long river of time was constantly scouring the surroundings.The lake was filled up, the forest was cut down, and it all turned into a sea of ​​pale pink flowers.

Yuzhongming stood in the sea of ​​​​flowers, and the figure was vaguely invisible, but the voice made Sazhi and Ning Ning on the edge of the sea of ​​​​flowers hear clearly.

"In 1968 CE, Dr. James of the Circular Druid School of England once put forward a theory."

"The earth beneath our feet is a living organism with self-regulation. There is a complex relationship between life on the entire planet and the natural environment - including the atmosphere, oceans, polar ice caps, and the rocks beneath our feet. coherent interaction."

"The theory is that these interrelationships work together to maintain the Earth in a moderately stable state for life to continue. This state of equilibrium—sometimes called homeostasis—is one of the properties of living organisms, where organisms pass through internal Adjustment to maintain the status quo.”

"This is also the Gaia hypothesis. It just corresponds to the goddess of the earth without idol worship that the Circular Druid school has always believed in. Their school has believed that the earth is alive and one body since ancient times. We humans, demons, Weather, natural disasters, everything is part of Mother Earth."

"Maybe you don't understand, I'll explain it to you in a simpler way."

"Suppose there is such a world, there is only one kind of plant in this world, well, let's choose cherry blossoms. Suppose there is only one kind of plant in this world, that is the cherry blossom tree. This kind of cherry tree needs to be pollinated to grow into a new cherry tree."

With the sound, the pale pink flower sea gradually rose, and countless cherry trees rose in front of the two of them. The scattered cherry blossom petals made the surrounding like a pink ocean.

"All herbivores depend on cherry trees to live, and carnivores and humans are rich and diverse."

"The world lives a simple, circular life peacefully every day."

"But one day, the opportunity for this cycle was broken. For some unknown reasons, the average temperature in the world increased slightly by about 0.1 degrees."

"We usually feel that 0.1 degrees is normal, but this simple world is different."

"Because of the 0.1-degree temperature increase, the cherry trees that were supposed to open on time were a few days earlier."

The sea of ​​sakura trees began to bloom, as if the pink stars came from a dream.

"Bees and butterflies who collect honey on time and pollinate, because they have been following the habits of previous years, some cherry blossoms have withered before they can be pollinated."

Countless butterflies and bees dance around the sea of ​​flowers, and new pollen is passed on.Only a small fraction of the cherry trees were left unattended.

"In the coming year, no new cherry trees will grow without pollination."

The pollinated sakura trees became two or even 3 large and small like a replica, while the unpollinated sakura trees did not grow.

Chapter 21 Practice (2)

"Some of the bees that were born this year starved to death because there was no new nectar growth. The birds that feed on bees also started to run short of food. The large carnivores that feed on birds started to starve. Then the ecological environment deteriorated sharply, and the whole world into a desert."

With the words, the originally vibrant sea of ​​cherry trees began to change rapidly, with fewer trees, higher air temperature, groups of animals dying, less precipitation, dry and cracked land, and barren land.In the end, the sand sea swept in, and the whole world was silent, and there were no living creatures.

The ever-changing world before them leaves the two girls deeply amazed and unable to extricate themselves from it.

"Snapped!"

A crisp finger-snapping sound suddenly appeared in my ears.

Yu Zhongming's figure gradually became clear, he was standing under the tree behind the two of them.A petal of cherry blossoms that just fell was stuck in his hand, and he gently blew it.

As he breathed, the clouds drifted away quietly, and the sun shone on the sparkling lake again.The petals swirled to the ground and turned into a lady in a pink dress.

Yu Zhongming fell down and was embraced by the lady.
