Shennong Daojun

Three quarters of an hour later, Zhao Xing was still arrested.

Under a rockery, Shen Zhui panted slightly and nailed the iron ruler to the top of Zhao Xing's head.

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, then put away his spell.

"Brother Shen, you win again."

Shen Zhui took back the iron ruler, his eyes a little surprised: "Brother Zhao, you are progressing too fast. This is the third time we have competed, and you can already draw thunder, and this weird rain... It actually took me three full days. It took a quarter of an hour to catch you.”

"If you lose, you lose. Brother Shen, there is no need to comfort me."

Shen Zhui shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth. After the first quarter of an hour, my vitality consumption was three times greater than last time. After two quarters of an hour, my body skills were no longer able to be subtle."

Ice rain consumes a lot of energy and blood. After all, this spell can be said to freeze vitality. For example, when Zheng Lun used it in an ambush battle, the Euphorbia soldiers were directly frozen into popsicles.

Of course, Zhao Xing had just started, and he didn't even have a spell, so his suppression power against Shen Zhui at the seventh level of Juyuan was not that exaggerated.

"But at the third quarter of an hour, your strength suddenly surged. You completely ignored the influence of the ice rain and blended into the rain. Brother Shen, what is your trick?" Zhao Xing asked.

Shen Zhui smiled and said, "It's the secret skill 'Qianyuan Burning Blood'. It can take my strength to a higher level in a short period of time and give me greater control over my body."

"In this way, we can withstand the erosion of rain and your thunder bombardment."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized: "It seems that I still haven't been able to force Brother Shen to use his full strength."

Shen Zhui smiled and said, "You didn't try your best? I didn't see you use the wind this time."

"My wind is more difficult to deal with. I haven't mastered it properly yet, so it's not easy to use it on Brother Shen."

It's not a life and death fight, it's just a discussion, so there is no need for Zhao Xing to use Yin Feng on Shen Zhui.

Even this ice rain spell has not exerted its true power.

It's autumn now, the heat is still unbearable and the yang energy is strong.

The effect of the Ice Rain spell is halved.

If it is late winter or early spring, the ice rain spell can have normal effects.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Sinong can take advantage of the right time and place, but he will also be affected by it.

Unless Zhao Xing reaches the top level and starts to practice the "Solar Terms Order" and masters the winter solar terms, he will no longer be limited by the environment, and the ice rain can exert its greatest power.

While the two were chatting, Chen Shijie walked out of the room.

"You two should stop competing for the next few days. The day after tomorrow is the Qiuqiu Mountain. Go back and recharge your batteries to prepare for this assessment."

"Yes." Shen Zhui and Zhao Xing said goodbye together.

The "Lingshan Law" of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates: "Any county with a spiritual mountain must follow the cycle of heaven and earth. The mountain should be closed at the spring equinox to breed creatures; the mountain should be separated at the autumn equinox to harvest its beauty."

Donghu Mountain in Gucheng is a thousand feet high. It is a perfect place for heaven and earth, and its vitality is condensed and never disperses. It is a proper "spiritual mountain".

After Zhao Xing and Shen chased out of Chen's house, they started chatting.

"Brother Zhao, the day after tomorrow is the autumn equinox, so you should be very busy these days."

Mountains, rivers, lakes and land are all under the supervision of Si Nong, and Lingshan is naturally under the supervision of Si Nong.

To work in a place where there is a "spiritual mountain", Si Nong also needs to know the "method of opening the mountain" and the "method of closing the mountain".

Because the mountains are closed at the spring equinox and at the autumn equinox, Sinong is required to cast spells.

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "It's none of my business when the supervisor of the agriculture department opens the mountain. How many techniques do I know? I don't need to perform the mountain-opening technique."

Shen Zhui asked: "Brother Zhao, will you go mountain climbing to pick up the spirit show?"

Zhao Xing said without hesitation: "Of course I want to go."

Cultivate the beauty of the mountains and then harvest the beauty. This is the meaning of closing the mountains and opening the mountains.

The beauty of mountains can bring different benefits to people.

Some people increase their lifespan, some people increase their luck, some people have a great increase in vitality, and some people make their magic even better.

The main reason why Cao Xi was able to become a king after his death was because he raised an East Lake Spirit Mountain.

Since the birth of Lingshan in Gucheng, it has become a tradition that the assessment of officials on the autumnal equinox is linked to Donghu Mountain.

"The assessment of the Autumn Equinox is about climbing mountains to gather spirits after opening the mountain."

“Ranking by harvest.”

"The beauty of the mountain is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower."

"The best quality one is the Qi Luck Ling Xiu, which can increase your luck."

"The middle grade is the spiritual beauty of Yuan Dharma, which can either lead to a breakthrough in realm or a breakthrough in magic."

"The lower grade is Shouyuan Lingxiu. This increase is very small and not obvious."

"If you get a good grade, you will be graded A. If you are a good grade, you will be graded B. If you are a good grade, you will be graded B. If you have a low grade, you will be graded C. If you get nothing, it will not be counted."

Shen Zhui said with a hint of envy: "I heard that in Dakai Mountain ten years ago, there were people who never entered the first rank and went straight to the eighth rank. It's really enviable."

There are different sizes for opening and closing mountains, with the shortest being one year and the longest being ten years.

However, few of the nine spiritual mountains in Nanyang County were sealed and opened. The one mentioned by Shen Zhui was only sealed for three years.

"There are nine spiritual mountains in Nanyang County. Although Donghu Mountain is only ranked fifth, not only officials from the county actively participated that year, but many officials from other counties also came."

Zhao Xingdao: "Brother Shen only cares about the lucky ones, but he doesn't know that there are also people who die without a burial place. Climbing mountains to collect spirits is not only beneficial, but also dangerous."

Shen Zhui said: "Climbing Lingshan Mountain to collect beautiful spirits is open to everyone in Nanyang County. However, during the three days from September 22nd to September 24th, only officials are allowed to enter, and no experts will be allowed to enter." Mountain.”

It was the autumnal equinox the day after tomorrow, but at this time the inn in Gucheng was already full, and there were many officials from other counties who wanted to come to Donghu Mountain to try their luck.

County offices are also overcrowded because out-of-town references need to be reported in advance.

Gucheng is pretty good, but the number one Lingshan mountain in Nanyang County, ‘Yuan Ping Mountain’, has the most people. The competition is also greater. Many officials have reached the ninth level of Juyuan, and some have even reached the level of entry, but they have not been officially accepted as officials.

Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "I mean mountain climbing itself is a bit dangerous."

During the mountain climbing and soul-collecting show, the competition between officials is limited and they can rob, but killing and maiming are not allowed.

However, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, especially the newly opened Lingshan Mountain. There will be dangers, and it is not that people have died.

Shen Zhui grasped the iron ruler at his waist and said firmly: "Even if it is dangerous, I will give it a try this year, otherwise God knows how many competitors there will be next year? They say it is getting more difficult every year. "

For the officials, the mountain climbing show is an opportunity to overtake on a curve. For those who have already maintained the lead, it is even more important to participate to prevent being overtaken.

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Xing: "Will you go?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Of course I want to go. I am a local. If the mountain god doesn't bless me, a local, how can he bless a foreigner?"

This is of course a joke. Although the Autumn Equinox involves climbing mountains to worship gods, the Yin God treats you equally regardless of whether you are a local or an outsider, as long as you are a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Hahaha, then I'll see you in Donghu Mountain the day after tomorrow." Shen Zhui laughed and left.
