Shennong Daojun

Coming out of Chen's house, Zhao Xing was still somewhat shocked.

He didn't expect to see an old acquaintance here.

He didn't expect that Long Xiao and Chen Shijie had such a good relationship.

He didn't expect that Chen Shijie wanted to take him to the Shenwei Army, which would be expelled in the future!

"Do you still want to go with Lao Chen?"

He must join the army, after all, his original plan was to be a military minister.

If he wanted to be promoted quickly, the army was undoubtedly the fastest route. With foresight, he was confident that he could do well.

"The Shenwei Army was once famous, but later it suffered heavy losses in the battle against the barbarians, and even the establishment was destroyed."

"The reason why Emperor Wu attacked the barbarians was largely because his father suffered a great loss from the barbarians in his later years."

Zhao Xing recalled that he vaguely remembered that Shenxiao Hou Long Xiao hated the barbarians very much, and he didn't know whether it was because of his experience in the Shenwei Army.

Long Xiao rose to prominence at the end of Emperor Jing, and was named Wu Hou for his meritorious service in the battle against the barbarians during the reign of Emperor Wu.

In Zhao Xing's future plans, Long Xiao is on his investment list.

If he is stronger than him before he rises, he will help him and treat it as an investment. If he is still relatively weak before he rises, he will just follow him.

"It's only the middle period of Emperor Jing now. After Jingxin, there will be Dazhi and Yongzhi, and there will be almost two hundred years."

Zhao Xing listened to Lao Chen and Long Xiao chatting. Although the Shenwei Army was famous before, it was limited to one prefecture and was not yet famous all over the world. Now it has just been restored.

"It's also good to get on the train now. The Shenwei Army has just been used, and there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. As for the future? At worst, I can jump off the train later. Long Xiao is living well." Zhao Xing shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there are still a few months before making a decision.

Learn more. If the evaluation at that time makes it feel that it is not possible to go, Zhao Xing can choose many places.

At present, I still have to pass the Xuantian Sect first and talk about it after I successfully become an official.

Sanwan Town, Maple Leaf Manor

There is a rockery in Maple Leaf Manor, and inside this rockery, a secret passage was dug, leading to the deep underground.

At this moment, in the space deep underground, there is a small altar.

The altar stands in the blood pool, and the scarlet blood covers half of the statue.

The two hall masters of Sanwan Hall kneeled down and waited.

The Falcon Guardian knelt beside the blood pool and worshiped the statue.

Chen Deshun and Wu Mei were a little nervous.

Originally, this should not be the time for sacrifice, but they received a warning from the Venerable a few days ago.

After returning, they reported to the guardian.

The little bit of movement in lurking is very sensitive, and Falcon also attaches great importance to it, so he immediately came to this altar to pray to the gods and ask the specific reason for the warning.

"Gulong~" The statue emitted a faint red light, and the light was reflected in the air, and the scene of Chen Deshun in the Niu family compound emerged.

Then the statue quickly sank into the blood pool, and the strange phenomenon disappeared.

The Falcon Guardian bowed devoutly again, and then slowly walked down the altar.

"Guardian... Puff~" Chen Deshun was about to ask what happened, but he and Wu Mei were slapped away by Falcon, spitting out blood, and even knocked out two teeth.

The two looked panicked, and after falling to the ground, they quickly crawled over and knelt respectfully.

"You two idiots!" Falcon stared at the two with a gloomy look, "I asked you to go to Anping Town to scout the place, what did you do, why did your identity be exposed!"

"What?" Chen Deshun was shocked, "We were exposed?"

Wu Mei also looked panicked: "The guardian is wise, we did nothing."

Falcon's eyes were cold: "You dare to quibble, the Venerable warned that someone was aware of someone using secret methods to deduce the two of you."

"What, how is this possible..." Chen Deshun and Wu Mei were shocked, and had no idea why this happened.

They stayed in this underground altar for the past two days, and realized that things were a bit serious, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Your identities are no longer useful." Falcon snorted, "Enter the Blood Spirit Pool."

"Yes, yes." The two walked into the blood pool of the altar with some fear.

Then Falcon waved his hand, and two believers, a man and a woman, came over from the side.

They were naked, and when they walked in front of Falcon, they knelt respectfully: "Greetings to the guardian."

Falcon said slowly: "Now is an emergency, and you need to contribute to the great cause. In the future, Xuantian will recreate a golden body for you, and you will enjoy eternal peace."

A man and a woman looked at the statue fanatically: "I am willing to die for Xuantian!"

Then they stood up and jumped into the blood pool.

"Gulong~"

The blood pool exuded a trace of red light, and soon, the man and the woman walked out of the blood pool again.

Falcon looked at the two: "Don't take any action this month, and get familiar with your new identity."

"Yes." The voices of Chen Deshun and Wu Mei sounded.

October 7th, Cold Dew.

The weather in Gucheng gradually turned colder, and Xue Wenzhong's Huailiu Courtyard was no longer full of spring colors, but had returned to the same solar terms as the outside world.

Xue Wenzhong pointed to the sky and the mist spread from the surroundings.

"After three days of cold dew, you need to find a bridge to cross the water."

"The white and crystal dew turns cold and condenses. This is the seventeenth method in the "Solar Terms Order."

"Practicing the "Solar Terms Order", you will clearly sense the Yin of the earth veins from this solar term, and many spells will be greatly increased in power, such as the [Yin Wind] and [Ice Rain] you practiced."

"The cold dew solar term has seven iconic phenological phases, which can cause seven kinds of mortal beasts to transform into strange beasts, and seven kinds of mortal plants to transform into spiritual plants. It can also cause strange beasts to degenerate and spiritual plants to wither."

"But my qualifications as a teacher are dull, and the cold dew solar term order can only be used to achieve the 'three changes of cold dew'. It is enough in Gucheng, but if you want to join the army, it is slightly insufficient for the three changes of cold dew in the future. You can ask Chen for more advice in the future. When the time comes, he will definitely be able to teach you how to use it.”

Zhao Xing nodded. After changing his job to a formal agricultural officer, he can revise the "Solar Terms Order". At that time, the agricultural officer's spell range will be greatly increased due to the official position of the Qi Luck Dynasty. Of course, this increase is limited to the Great Zhou Dynasty. within the territory.

At the same time, the solar terms order is not just a simple matter of fixing and changing the weather, but is also accompanied by various magical abilities, such as increasing spells and using changes in phenology.

This is more widely used in marching and fighting. When the army arrived in a strange wilderness, it was up to the military commander and farmers to identify which meat was edible and which was inedible.

But the world is so big and there are so many species that even military farmers may not be able to identify them all.

Taking advantage of seasonal climate changes, you can pick out edible items from the wilderness.

Here in Jun Sinong, there is only the difference between eating directly and finding a way to eat.

Xue Wenzhong had nothing to teach Zhao Xing about specific spells. He could only talk about the "Solar Terms Order" that could only be mastered by those who became agricultural officials.

Zhao Xing also knew that he didn't spend much time with Lao Si Nong. Even though many of them were nonsense, he listened very seriously.

On October 9th, Zhao Xing came to Chen Mansion.

At this time, Chen Shijie was busy preparing the trap.

Most of his pear orchard was cleared, and many seedlings were even pulled out, and several new plants were planted instead.

Zhao Xing ran over there curiously and took a look, and was stunned: "Are you planning to blow up the Xuantian Sect?"

Chen Shijie said calmly: "The geographical environment of Nanyang County is still a bit poor. When these things grow here, their power will be a bit smaller."

Long Xiao said: "It's okay, I also checked in some high-end goods for you, one hundred knots."

Zhao Xing asked cautiously: "Approximately what level is it?"

Long Xiao stretched out a palm, and Zhao Xing's expression changed drastically: "Is this really good?"

Chen Shijie said: "No, no, the two people in Sanwan Town are already dead, and the house has been burned down. This group of Xuantian sect demons are not simple, they are very alert. They must have changed their appearance."

Long Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be no problem."

Zhao Xing sighed and said: "I have to stay away from the two adults when taking action."

After a pause, he said again: "Can you give me some of the smaller ones?"

"Hahaha, do you think this thing is useful? Yes, no problem!"

October 15th, Zongfu.

Zong Shichang handed a box to Zhao Xing.

"I've been searching for a long time, but I only found a third-grade high-grade sandalwood soul box. I don't know if it's enough for you."

Zhao Xing took it over and took a look: "It's enough."

Zong Shichang waved his fan coquettishly even in the cold weather: "Besides containing some requiem elixirs, I don't know what other uses this thing has. Can you tell me?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Don't ask, I don't want to tell, don't force me to lie to you."

Zong Shichang folded his fan and said, "I'm honest enough. I like your style, so I won't ask. How about some more drinks today?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "No more drinking, prepare for the Beginning of Winter assessment."

Zong Shichang said in surprise: "There's no need to be so diligent. Now you've confirmed your spot in Gucheng. Who can beat you?"

Zhao Xing looked at the sky forty-five times and said: "A truly strong person always only compares himself with himself."

Zong Shichang laughed and scolded: "Damn, just open your mouth and come, you still know how to pretend."

October 23rd, frost fell.

The weather in Gucheng is getting colder and colder. Every morning when you wake up, you can see a thin layer of frost on the ground.

During this solar term, Zhao Xing clearly felt that his [Ice Rain] method and [Yin Wind] method were further strengthened.

Compared with the Autumnal Equinox, the power of the spell has increased by at least 30%.

"The solar terms have a great influence on spells. If you become a regular person, your first priority is to practice the solar terms. This is equivalent to creating a suitable home environment for yourself." Zhao Xing wrapped himself in autumn clothes and went to the backyard to take a look.

Now the Tianyuan pear tree has been moved to the corner by him.

The effect of Earth Vein Synthesis also fully supports several other plants.

The vegetable patch in the backyard was covered by a layer of clouds and mist by Zhao Xing.

People outside can't see what's going on inside at all.

"The rise is good." Zhao Xing went in and took a look around, "I hope it won't come in handy. It's best if Lao Chen and Long Xiao can handle it and let me take a break."

October 28th.

"Huchi~"

The fourth-level evangelical painting ‘Void Shadow in the Underground Palace’ burned fiercely, which meant that the last opportunity for enlightenment had been exhausted.

Zhao Xing looked at the panel.

[The Endless Underground Palace: Intermediate Spells]

【Progress: 8012/9999】

[Efficacy: Using earth veins as the basis, a boundless underground palace is built, releasing a powerful collection force, which can be superimposed eight times]

[Five Elements Split Earth: Intermediate Spell]

【Progress: 7215/9999】

[Efficacy: The earth veins surge wildly, rioting in the world, using the power of random five elements of earth veins to attack. 】

[Swallowing Clouds: Intermediate Spell]

【Progress: 8523/9999】

[Efficacy: Intermediate cloud method, which can swallow and absorb a variety of clouds and obtain the effect of the swallowed clouds. 】

[Ksitigarbha Guiyuan·Humanity: Intermediate Spells]

[Progress: 6536/9999]

[Effect: Arrange the earth vein array, absorb the power of the earth vein, replenish vitality, and the spells are endless]

"This month, the four preaching paintings have been used up, and the four spells have made great progress." Zhao Xing thought, "But the rest of the spells, except for the sleepy bug, are still the same."

This month, he selectively practiced spells, and the four new spells basically reached the seventh or eighth turn. After all, with the preaching paintings as a foundation, the effect of krypton gold is still very strong.

However, Zhao Xing spent the most time on the sleepy bug spell in the introductory chapter of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn.

[Sleepy bug: Intermediate spell]

[Progress: Nine turns (perfect)]

[Effect: Capture the sleepy bug in the soul through the air. 】

"The sleepy bug in the sandalwood soul box has turned purple and black." Zhao Xing touched the box in his arms, "I'm afraid Long Xiao and Lao Chen can't stand it now. They will fall asleep after being hit."

The first day of November, the last Yang month of the fifteenth year of Jingxin.

The clerks of Sinongjian began to get busy again.

Because the beginning of winter is coming soon.

There must be assessments at the four seasons and eight festivals, and it is also the penultimate assessment before the New Year.

Most people know that they have no hope of becoming an official, but even if it is not for the assessment, it is linked to the allowance.

Who doesn't want more year-end bonuses during the New Year?

The more it is at this time, the more you have to pretend.

"Brother."

"Brother!"

Chen Ziyu and Qian Dong caught up in the corridor.

"Qian Dong, Ziyu." Zhao Xing turned and looked at the two, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Brother, Ziyu and I get up so early every day. You have become lazy recently." Qian Dong smiled.

"Yes, brother. Where have you been recently? I can't see you. Your house is also shrouded in fog recently. I don't know what you are doing. Uncle Zhao said he doesn't want to see guests, so we dare not disturb you." Chen Ziyu asked.

"It's all for the Beginning of Winter Assessment." Zhao Xing had prepared a reason. "After all, I only got A-level four times this year. My previous scores were just average. I'm still a little unsure whether I can be accepted as an official."

This is of course just an excuse. After he passed the autumn split, Ji Ming appointed him to participate in the winter assessment.

In other words, he must be one of the places reported by Nanyang County.

Li Wenzheng had already communicated with Chen Shijie, and he must ensure that Zhao Xing can pass. He almost said directly, "You leak the test questions to Zhao Xing."

The county-level examination is set by the chief official of the Sinongjian, and Li Wenzheng is the supervisor. If these two people collude, even a fool can get in.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Xing is strong. If Li Wenzheng and Chen Shijie really report a mediocre person to the county, there will be problems.

The recommender, the results, and the strength are all excellent. The rest depends on Zhao Xing's performance in the temple exam.

The reason for saying this is just a reason to refuse to see the guests.

"Brother, you work really hard. No wonder you can do it." Chen Ziyu admired.

"Next spring, I will wait for good news from you, brother." Qian Dong smiled, "Ziyu and I congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you for your good words." Zhao Xing smiled.

"No more, brother. The old Sinong is about to start the lecture. We will go there first!"

On November 5, the content and location of the Sinong Supervisor's Beginning of Winter Assessment were announced. On the same day, the content and location of the Tiangongfang, Wusi, Zhizaosi, and Shendian year-end assessment were announced.

Chen Shijie, Li Wenzheng, Gongsun Yang and other chief officers of Gucheng suddenly had an idea to put warriors, mechanical engineers, Sinong, weavers, emcees and other professions in the same place for joint assessment, and the location was exactly in Anping Town.

After the content of the assessment was announced, the officials complained and privately scolded Chen Shijie and Li Wenzheng for not doing their job and coming up with some crooked ideas.

However, no matter how much they scolded, they could not change the decision of the two bosses. They had to make intensive preparations to prepare for this strange joint examination.

On November 5th and 6th, a large number of officials arrived in Anping Town in advance and began to check the assessment site outside Anping Town - an abandoned forging plant.

On November 7th, the county temple and Gucheng Sinongjian rang bells.

It seemed to tell the people of Gu County that winter had begun.
