Shennong Daojun

"That's right, I usually lie in bed and listen." Zong Shichang felt proud instead of ashamed. "What else is there to say?"

Zhao Xing pointed at the two people who came down from the Temple of Heaven: "Everyone who sees it is a spectator. If you return the gift, it means recognition. The dancers and musicians will improve their magic."

"I guess they both want to come to our place to salute. If you return the gift, you are giving them face. It doesn't matter if you don't return the gift."

"The higher the level and appreciation of the audience, the more feedback the dancers and musicians will get from the performance. If they can also give something, then they will have more feedback. Of course, there is an upper limit."

The group of people in Dexiang were better than those in the square, so Liu Muqing and Lu Qian naturally refused to let them go.

Sure enough, after coming down, he ran over here and saluted Zong Shichang and the others.

Zhao Xing felt that the performance of these two people was pretty good, so he raised his hands and gave them a thumbs up.

Lu Qian kept staring at Zhao Xing, and curled her lips when she saw him returning the favor.

Although this guy is hateful, he is still polite.

If only he could return Que Ling's robe to himself.

The rest of the people also gave him face. After all, these two were also from the county magistrate's family and knew Young Master Zong, so they all returned the favor.

Others' gifts in return were very serious, but Zong Shichang took out the banknotes from his arms and waved to Lu Qian and Liu Muqing: "You two ladies are doing a great job, let's watch and enjoy!"

Lu Qian watched Zong Shichang coming over, grinding her teeth and wanting to punch him twice, but she finally endured it and gritted her teeth and said, "Zong Shichang, thank you!"

"That sounds insincere. I won't give you the jackpot." Zong Shichang smiled and handed the banknote to Lu Qian, while Liu Muqing folded the banknote and inserted it into her bun.

Liu Muqing bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Zong."

"You're welcome, Miss Liu." Zong Shichang held his hand in a very serious manner, and his voice became much gentler.

After the two left, Zhao Xing bumped into Zong Shichang with his shoulder: "Do you like this Miss Liu?"

Zong Shichang turned around and said, "Is it so obvious?"

Zhao Xing sneered and walked away: "Your eyes are going to grow on other people's bodies. You think others are stupid."

Zong Shichang murmured to himself: "Yes, even you can see it, why doesn't Miss Liu know my thoughts..."

After a while, the remaining incense stick in the Temple of Heaven Square was snatched away.

One of them, named Gu Feng, was holding a bow and arrow, with silver light flashing, and was followed by four or five people.

After meeting Zhao Xing's gaze, Gu Feng's expression changed slightly.

He was attacking Zhao Xing during the day, hoping to rob the Lingxiu archer, but he did not expect that Zhao Xing would make such great progress. After absorbing three Lingxiu, he could even compete with Cao Qiushui.

After thinking about it, Gu Feng didn't move forward after all and waited in the back.

The recipient of the last incense stick was a machine master. He was accompanied by two tiger-like machine beasts. The machine tiger beasts were more than two meters tall, with fangs extending two feet from their mouths. They had a cold light and were very extraordinary.

Behind the tiger were four small machine beasts, which looked strange, like lizards.

"A third-level high-grade machine beast? Or six heads?" Zhao Xing looked at it and was quite surprised.

The Gongjia's mechanism is driven by a magic circle, and the mechanism beast is the most difficult skill to learn.

Unlike the straw man method, the machine beast can always exist, has high spirituality, and can even cast spells hidden in the body.

However, straw men are time-sensitive and cannot exist forever, and they have no spirituality at low levels.

However, the straw man method is not picky and can be used with a handful of dead grass. It can use local materials, saving time and effort.

The materials for the machine beast are more expensive, and it takes time and effort to study the magic circle.

"This man's name is Hu Yang. He is in his early twenties and can actually make a third-level machine beast. He is a rare talent."

"Should I say it or not, Gong family officials are really enviable. They can make such a powerful machine beast, much better than a straw man." Zong Shichang said.

"I'm not envious at all." Zhao Xing shook his head.

"Brother Zhao, don't be so harsh." Zong Shichang said with empty eyes, "Speak with your conscience in mind."

"How old did you say he was?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Early twenties, if I'm not mistaken, he should be twenty-one," Zong Shichang said.

"Do you think he looks like Twenty-One?" Zhao Xing asked.

"..." Zong Shichang looked at Hu Yang's obvious forehead and eye wrinkles and dark circles and opened his mouth.

"Look at the top of his head. Is there any hair?"

"..."

Zhao Xing shrugged and said, "You know why I'm not envious, right?"

"There is no such thing as a clever work, it's all done at the cost of one's life."

Zong Shichang couldn't help but was speechless.

Zhao Xing smiled and looked away from Hu Yang.

He said that he would never study the mechanism magic circle, let alone become a mechanism beast!

It's really not a joke to say that fate is the most important thing.

Going to the back of the mechanism magic circle, there are many secret techniques that require you to expend your own efforts to enlighten the treasure.

For example, the swordsmith’s ‘hard-working technique’.

To put it bluntly, it is to increase the spirituality, power, etc. of the machine puppet at the expense of lifespan.

As long as there is such a secret method, it is impossible to resist using it. Use a little today, a little tomorrow, and over time... Even if there is luck and longevity from the Qi Luck Dynasty, it can't even be added!

The above ones are pretty good, and there are some lunatics who want to be famous all over the world. They just sacrifice themselves all at once, and the general Mo Xie has to say something awesome when he comes.

Zhao Xing would never study the Gong family's magic array. He would never do anything that would shorten his life. Of course, he liked to use the treasures of the Gong family.

The people on the Tiantan Square were waiting for the second wave of incense, while the people below were waiting for the battle between Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao to end.

Suddenly, Zhao Xing found that the two had slowed down, and the light and shadow gradually dimmed.

"Ding!"

As a crisp sound emerged, everyone's ears were shocked and they hurriedly stepped back.

The two light and shadows finally separated, revealing their true appearance.

The battle between Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao finally came to an end.

"Sister Jiao!"

Lu Qian and Liu Muqing hurried over.

"I'm fine."

Du Jiaojiao panted slightly, her hair was messy.

Yang Junxiong's hair was not even messy, and his breath was even, as if the battle just now was very easy for him.

"She has become stronger again." Zong Shichang sighed, "No one has tasted her red lips, and she killed the young man with one punch. Who would dare to take her if this goes on?"

"Brother Zong, the hearing of the warriors who have entered the rank is very good. If you don't improve your morality, I'm afraid that the young man who was beaten to death will be you." Zhao Xing said lightly.

"Ahem." Zong Shichang changed the subject and said, "What should we do now? Should we take action?"

"Let's see first."

Zhao Xing stared at the front.

Yang Junxiong pointed his gun at Lu Qian and Liu Muqing who were rushing over: "If you continue to pester me, I will find a way to severely injure you and your friends."

"You, despicable!"

"Shameless!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qian and Liu Muqing's faces changed.

Du Jiaojiao stopped the two, stared at Yang Junxiong for a moment, nodded and said, "This incense is for you."

Yang Junxiong put away his spear, clamped his legs, turned into a stream of light and rushed up the steps and entered the temple.

"I didn't realize that Du Jiaojiao was so loyal." Wen Zhao waved his feather fan, "She was willing to give up the chance to burn the first incense stick for her friend."

"It's really rare. No one can remember what happened on the mountain, but she still did it. Her heart is pure. No wonder her spear skills are so powerful." Zhang Boran sighed. "But she probably felt that she was not sure of winning the first incense stick, so she gave up."

"Don't say so much, get ready."

After Yang Junxiong entered the temple, Du Jiaojiao protected Lu Qian and Liu Muqing to enter.

No one dared to object to the entry-level strongmen doing this.

They could only watch them occupy the first four places to worship the gods.

Now the first four incense sticks are full.

The pressure immediately came to Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran.

The moment Du Jiaojiao and the other two stepped onto the steps, Zhang Boran immediately started to sprint.

Wen Zhao was chanting: "You are facing the east of the sky, and your spirit is moving the world and Dingyuan."

Zhang Boran's speed suddenly increased, and his momentum instantly climbed to the ninth level of Juyuan!

He rushed up the hundred-step stone steps almost instantly.

However, just when Wen Zhao thought that Zhang Boran would be the fifth to go in, he saw Zhang Boran suddenly running back at a faster speed.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Wen Zhao was extremely stunned.

Zhang Boran had no expression on his face and raised his hand to punch Wen Zhao.

"What? Stop the war..."

Before Wen Zhao finished speaking, he was hit by a punch, his teeth flew, and Wen Zhao flew backwards, his life or death unknown.

This strange scene made the eager people stop and wonder.

What's going on?

Zhao Xing looked back at Yuan Bo beside Zong Shichang.

Just now, this Yuan Bo, who has always been very low-key, made a move.

The statue in his eyes disappeared and appeared behind Zhang Boran.

Spreading his limbs, he completely stuck to Zhang Boran's body, controlling him like a puppet.

"When you use the spirit writing to summon the spirit, you usually summon your own body. This Yuan Bo can actually summon the Yin spirit to someone else? He's got something." Zhao Xing was originally going to make a move, but he stopped when he saw the situation on Zhang Boran.

"Young Master, you can go in." Yuan Bo, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke with a somewhat sinister tone.

Zong Shichang looked at Zhao Xing and gave up the opportunity to serve the fifth incense stick: "Zhao Sanjia, you go first. It's not right for you to stay behind."

Zhao Xing glanced at Yuan Bo, who didn't react.

"Okay."

Zhao Xing didn't hesitate and immediately let the Yin wind surround him, floating towards the steps like a ghost.

Gu Feng behind him pinched the silver bow, but didn't dare to make a move after all.

Some people saw that Yuan Bo was special, and if he made a move now, he might not be able to win the fifth incense stick.

Hu Yang, standing between the two mechanical beasts, was also indifferent.

He had never thought of competing for the top five, and the incense sticks after the fifth were all similar, with little difference, so there was no need to compete.

So after Zhao Xing went in, Zong Shichang, Uncle Cang, and Uncle Hu all went in safely.

Then came the archer Gu Feng and the mechanical engineer Hu Yang.

Zhang Boran, on the contrary, was the last one to go in.

After Yuan Bo released the restrictions, he woke up. Although he didn't understand what happened, the last spot was in front of him, and he didn't care that his cousin was still in a coma, so he went straight into the temple.

After Zhao Xing entered the temple, he didn't see the four people in front of him.

Three animals were offered as sacrifices on the temple platform, and a statue holding a ruler looked into the distance.

Zhao Xing's mind moved, and the incense in his hand suddenly burned. After bowing three times, he inserted the incense into the incense burner.

He chanted: "Zhao Xing, the official of the Ministry of Agriculture, prays for the Lord to show his holiness."

The incense burned, and it was obviously a thin wisp of incense, but suddenly smoke filled the whole hall.

When he raised his head again, the surroundings suddenly became foggy and the light dimmed.

The statue of the god on the stage had disappeared, replaced by a living giant.

It exudes a little golden light and is three feet tall.

This is the manifestation of Yin Shen.

"You ask this God to show me His holiness. What do you ask for?"

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me how to obtain the beautiful golden cup guarded by the lynx."

He didn't elaborate, because the Yin God oversees everything on the mountain and naturally knew what he was talking about.

Judging from the effect of the fifth stick of incense, if the golden cup is of medium quality, the true king will usually tell him the answer directly after he manifests his sage.

But what the lynx protects is obviously not the middle-grade beauty, but the top-grade ones.

Then you still have to pass the test of Yinshen.

"The golden cup is of the highest quality. If you want to seek this method, you must pass the test."

"Once the incense burns out and you fail the test, you have wasted an opportunity."

"If you are looking for a medium-quality and beautiful one, I can tell you a location directly without any effort."

"Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Xing did not hesitate, and said, "I choose to accept the test, please tell me, True Lord."

Sanzhang Spirit said: "One day, a fruit tree grower came to Donghu Mountain. He put incense on this god and prayed that there would be no wind in the past few days, because the fruit trees in his pear orchard were blooming."

"The second stick of incense was offered by a boatman. He prayed to the god to blow more wind on the river, because water boats need wind power to move."

"The third stick of incense is for a traveler. He is going on a far journey and prays to the god that there will be no wind or rain."

"On the fourth stick of incense, a farmer came. He said that the farmland was dry and he needed to wait for rain to plant rice. He prayed for a heavy rain today."

After saying that, Sanzhang God stared at Zhao Xing: "I promised the wishes of four people, how should I solve it?"

Zhao Xing is a small official in the agricultural industry, and he is involved in ups and downs. This can be regarded as a matter of judgment.

But of these four people, one wants the wind to blow and the other doesn't.

One is going to rain, the other is not.

Totally conflicting.

If you fail to satisfy Yin Shen with an answer before the incense is burned, it will be a wasted opportunity.

However, Zhao Xing didn't think for too long at all. He gave the answer almost as soon as Yin Shen finished speaking.

"I have a method that may be able to relieve the true king's worries."

Sanzhang Spirit reminded: "There is still time, you should think about it before answering."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly and said confidently: "It rains at night and is sunny during the day. The wind blows along the water surface and does not enter the pear garden."

Sanzhang Spirit nodded with a smile on his face: "Good."

Phew~

The smoke cleared.

Zhao Xing came back to his senses and found that he was no longer in the temple, but appeared under a tree.

Ahead is the cave where the lynx lives.

There is also a wind chime in his hand.

"Thank you, True Lord, for giving me the law."

Zhao Xing arched his hands toward the mountain.

Personal relationships have been determined to avoid unnecessary disputes after leaving the temple. Therefore, after offering incense, they will be moved out of the temple and directly to the place they want.

Zhao Xing took the wind chime and walked straight into the cave.

It wasn't long after I entered.

"Ha~" a roar sounded, and a black shadow struck like lightning.

But when the attack was about to reach Zhao Xing, it suddenly stopped.

"Dingling~"

The wind chime in Zhao Xing's hand shook and made a crisp sound.

"Meow?"

Shanmao stopped and looked at the wind chime in Zhao Xing's hand with confusion.

Zhao Xing also saw the true appearance of the lynx at this time.

It is very small, only about the size of a normal house cat.

There are two pairs of pointed little ears on the furry little head, the gray little tail swings gently, and the big eyes are shining with curiosity.

It seems that Zhao Xing doesn't understand why there are wind chimes in the mountain temple.

"Be good, hang out with me from now on." Zhao Xing squatted down and waved towards the lynx with the hand holding the wind chime.

The lynx shrank its head and seemed a little hesitant, but the wind chime was emitting bursts of light, making it want to get close.

The wind chimes in the mountain temple are contaminated with the breath of the true king, and their function is to tame the lynx.

The lynx is raised by the Yin God to guard the four kinds of beauties.

This is why bobcats can enter the market when they are still cubs.

The bobcats have eaten so much of the beauty in the mountains.

However, the Yin God also gave Bobcat a choice.

If it is unwilling to recognize its new owner, Zhao Xing can only get the Gold Cup of Luck.

If you recognize the owner, you can take the bobcat away with you.

"Remember the vine-flavored berries and white vanilla I gave you last time? You can eat as much as you want from now on. If you are willing to follow me, come over." Zhao Xing said softly.

"Meow~" After hesitating again and again, the lynx came closer and rubbed Zhao Xing's palm with his little head.

"Dingling bell~" The wind chime made a final crisp sound, and then turned into golden light that dissipated in the wind and merged into the bodies of Zhao Xing and Shan Mao.

A person and a cat form a bond.

【Lynx (young)】

[Bloodline: Lingxiu alien species (transformed by taking various kinds of mountain Lingxiu)]

[Grade: Mid-9th Grade]

[Innate ability: divine speed, nine healing]

[Secret Skills: Thunder Claw (Intermediate Level 8), Wind Control Stomp (Intermediate Level 7)]

Alien beasts are not included in the jurisdiction of the Qiyun Dynasty system, so the level of the lynx does not follow the nine levels and thirty levels set by Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but is based on the four small levels of 'front, middle, back, and perfection' of the ancient practice system. order to calculate.

Human beings under the Qi Luck system are measured according to nine grades and thirty levels, and the difference is very big.

Looking at the data about the mountain cat on the panel, Zhao Xing grinned and held the mountain cat on his shoulders: "Little guy, you won't regret your choice this time."

"Meow~" the mountain cat responded.

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and walked into the cave.

Since the straw man had been here once, he was familiar with the cave.

Coming to the huge white skeleton again, Zhao Xing vaguely guessed what had happened.

There was another strange beast that fought with the mountain cat's mother, and both were injured in the end, leaving only this cub alive.

"Where did you put that golden cup?" Zhao Xing asked when he came to the four forks.

"Meow~" the mountain cat stretched out its claws and pointed to one of the forks.

"Hide the ice lotus pond? You are really smart, you are on guard?" Zhao Xing smiled and pointed to the fork: "Go, get it."

"Swoosh~" Zhao Xing felt a slump on his shoulder, and then the mountain cat rushed into the fork like lightning.

In a breath, the mountain cat returned with a cup bigger than its head in its mouth.

"Meow?" The mountain cat jumped onto Zhao Xing's shoulder and rubbed against him.

"Yes, that's it." Zhao Xing took the golden cup and looked at it in his hand.

The texture of the cup was soft, like jade, and there were faint mysterious patterns on the cup, as if it contained the mysteries of heaven and earth.

When Zhao Xing looked at it, a golden airflow suddenly appeared in the empty cup, and it became thick in an instant, like liquid.
