Shennong Daojun

If there is a way, if you understand the method but not the reason, it will be in vain when you are old. If you understand the reason but do not understand the method, ten years of hard work will be in vain.

Theory is also a very important part of the assessment.

If you want to win over other minor officials, you have to be more comprehensive. If the magic performance is almost the same, the one with better magic theory will be accepted.

Zhao Xing randomly found a book from the bookcase, called "Seventy-two Phenomenology of the Moon Order". It was included in the ancient farmer's book "Shi Xun Jie". The original author can no longer be verified. It was written by Wu Cheng, a great farmer in the Taizu period. Re-edited.

"At the beginning of the first lunar month, the east wind thaws; the sun warms and solidifies."

"In the second period, the stinging insects begin to vibrate; vibrating means moving."

"In the third period, the fish carries the ice with its zhi. Zhi means accumulation, rising, high. The Yang Qi has moved, and the fish gradually moves upstream and is close to the ice."

Zhao Xing activated his bright eyes and night vision and began to read carefully.

In order to pursue stable celestial phenomena, the ancient peasant sages tried to find stable and long-term adaptable laws, so they created many theories.

"The Seventy-Two Hours of the Moon Order" is one of them.

It uses five days as the weather, three weathers as the qi, six qi as the time, four o'clock as the year, and a total of 72 "twenty-four solar terms" in a year.

Each climatic period corresponds to a phenological phenomenon, which is called "climate response".

Among them, the plant phase includes the germination, flowering, fruiting, etc. of plants; the animal phase includes the beginning of animals' vibrating, singing, mating, migration, etc.; the abiotic phase includes the beginning of water freezing, the sound of thunder, and the moistening of soil and the heat.

"At the beginning of February, peaches begin to bloom, and at the beginning of February, peaches begin to bloom; Yanghe occurs, and it becomes more and more prosperous from then on."

"In the second hour, Cang Geng is singing; the oriole is also coming."

"In the third season, the eagle turns into a dove. An eagle is also a bird of prey. At this time, the eagle turns into a dove, and in autumn, the dove turns into an eagle again."

There are many magical phenomena recorded in the seventy-two periods of the month.

For example, the "eagle turns into a dove" in early February.

In early March, the "rat turns into a tiger".

At the end of September, 'birds turn into clams when they enter the water'.

This is the ‘climate change of species’ caused by the changes in the four seasons, superimposed on drastic changes in the environment and vitality.

The above are not particularly exaggerated.

The ancient version of "Shi Xun Jie" also records that in some places, in early April, there will be an "earth, dragon, and earthworm transformation."

In other words, earthworms will turn into earth dragons the size of a hundred feet!

In early August, the 'breast swallow turns into a black bird', an ordinary swallow can turn into a 'destined black bird'!

At the end of December, in the Land of Beiming, there was a ‘Kunpeng Transformation’. Kunyu skyrocketed overnight and turned into a Nine-Heaven Dapeng!

Normally, 'climate changes' are measured in years, and there are also 'ten-year climate changes', 'hundred-year climate changes', and 'thousand-year climate changes'.

The version compiled by Wu Cheng only records the "ten-year climate change" and only slightly mentions the "hundred-year climate change".

As for the almost legendary ‘Millennium Climate Change’, it was deleted.

Because Si Nongguan could not see the thousand-year climate change in his lifetime, and after the establishment of the Great Zhou dynasty, the changes in vitality were no longer so drastic, so the possibility of such cases becoming less and less likely.

Another reason is taboo.

For example, "The swallow turns into a mysterious bird", "The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Yin." ’.

It was said that the Taizu of the Yin Dynasty was raised by the Destiny Black Bird. If another Destiny Black Bird appeared in this family, it would probably cause turmoil.

"I have seen the 'Kunpeng Incident' twice in Beihai in my previous life, but I can't remember the specific time. As for the destiny black bird, I have only heard about it but never witnessed it with my own eyes. I don't know if I will have a chance in this life."

"However, this kind of thousand-year change does not seem to exist during the Jing Emperor's period. At most, there is only a hundred-year change. When did it happen and where did it happen?"

Zhao Xing thought for a while, and his memory was a little fuzzy. He only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be related to certain events.

"When people come to the land to thrive, the loess turns into real gold."

"The five elements of earth are precious and do not compete with fire for fame."

Zhao Xing read "The Theory of Five Elements and Four Seasons" for a while. This is another classic work. It is a theoretical theory that unifies and matches the five elements and the four seasons to complete the system's self-consistency.

"The five elements are well matched with the heavenly branches, the earthly branches, and the four o'clock. It really worries the sages of the farmers to death and also hurts the candidates of the farmers." Zhao Xing looked at this book and couldn't help but smile.

He has taken many exams on the theory of the Five Elements and Four Seasons before. A genuine Si Nong Guan must understand the principles of yin and yang of the Five Elements when compiling the "Solar Terms Order". Otherwise, the ordered solar terms and the converted solar terms will be neither fish nor fowl.

"The most popular one at present is the 'earth king Jixia theory', which includes spring wood, summer fire, Jixia soil, autumn gold and winter water."

"The five elements of this system are still imperfect, and the corresponding time between the fire element and the earth element is relatively small, which is inconsistent with the view that the five elements should be in an equal position."

"But let's just wait and see what questions come up then, and then we can make plans." Zhao Xing said secretly.

He understands many theories that have been perfected by later generations, but the version is too advanced and may not be applicable to the present.

If he, a county-level official, writes some shocking theory, it will probably cause a big shock when the temple exam comes. Being too high-profile may not be a good thing, so you still have to take it one step at a time.

After studying hard all night, Zhao Xing put down the book when the golden rooster crowed.

Looking at the panel, there was already a series of records at this time.

[When you read in the dark, your Bright Eyes spell proficiency +2]

[When you read in the dark, your Bright Eyes spell proficiency +3]

【You in the dark night...】

The spell of Bright Eyes is easy to master, and the frequency of proficiency growth is calculated almost by the minute.

After studying hard day and night, Zhao Xing specialized in the spell 'Bright Eyes' and soon achieved remarkable results.

One night passed, and the Bright Eyes spell had reached level four.

Bright Eyes Night Vision, night vision is just the introductory function of Bright Eyes.

If you want to achieve the effect of "seeing ghosts and gods with bright eyes and night vision", four turns are still not enough.

"It seems that I have to take a shortcut." Zhao Xing went out and ran to the medicine shop in the market, bought a bunch of mugwort leaves and a box of high-quality tung oil.

At the same time, he also bought 'yellow paper', 'bright sand', 'Heaven Heart Grass' and other things.

After a large purchase, he returned home.

"I should remember the quick method of bright eyes correctly. I really don't know which ruthless player summed it up."

Zhao Xing muttered and lit the mixture of mugwort leaves, bright sand and Heaven Heart Grass.

A line of smoke was like a pillar, condensed but not dispersed.

Zhao Xing got close to the smoke and began to smoke his eyes.

"Hiss~"

The smoke was not choking, but had a faint fragrance, but it really smoked his eyes!

After a while, Zhao Xing felt a spicy taste. After enduring for a cup of tea, he had to move away.

Then he applied tung oil on his eyelids, and a cool feeling came, which made him feel much better.

[Bright Eyes Night Vision Spell Proficiency +20]

[Bright Eyes Night Vision Spell Proficiency +30]

The hard work paid off, as spell proficiency began to rise.

Zhao Xing followed the above steps and began to practice repeatedly.

Every day, in addition to going to the Sinongjian to practice the spell of cultivating the weather and the location, he would take time to focus on the Bright Eyes spell at night.

Finally, before August 22, Zhao Xing practiced the Bright Eyes spell to the ninth level.

"Tomorrow is the beginning of summer, and we will light river lanterns and offer sacrifices to the dead. I don't know if we can get any benefits."
