Chapter 90 Spirit of Ceremony, Dharma Protector, Anping Town Harvest Festival(2/2)
"Okay, leave Jiang Jiuxian alone, Qian'er, you didn't lose your bird feather robe in vain." Liu Muqing joked, "You can also get an original song and lyrics... If you ask me, I'll throw away ten more."
Eight pieces are the best.”
"You think it's a gift? I bought this."
"It's a pity that Qian'er's expectation of your commitment to me has been disappointed."
"Qing'er, what are you doing? You're asking for a beating!"
"..."
Zhao Xing returned to his home in Pingkangfang under the moonlight.
At this time, Zhao Ruide took his wife and children out to play and has not come back yet.
"The trip to Wangyue Tower was worthwhile. Not only did we solve a problem, but we also got a few preaching paintings in exchange." Zhao Xing washed his face.
After giving "The Spirit of Ceremony" to Lu Qian, the other party promised to find at least two paintings of preaching.
In addition to what Zong Shichang said, I can buy another one with the money I have, and I can get almost four sets of preaching paintings.
As for whether the sale is worth it? In Zhao Xing's opinion, it is.
From now on, these war lyrics and songs will be of little use. Once the Qi Luck Dynasty collapses, ritual cultivators, music cultivators, and dance cultivators will all fall into the dust and become mere slaves.
Times change, and some professions rise to the top in one fell swoop, while others fall into the dust. Now that he is short of money, if he can sell it for emergencies, he will sell it. Anyway, he will get it for free.
"I hope Young Master Zong and Lu Qianjin can work harder to get some good preaching paintings."
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhao Xing began to practice the introductory chapter of "Deng Meng Chun Qiu".
[You absorbed the sleepy bug in your life soul, you have some understanding of the sleepy bug spell, and the spell progress +10]
[You absorbed the sleepy bug in your life soul, you have some understanding of the sleepy bug spell, and the spell progress is +12]
[You released the sleepyhead...]
…
After practicing the sleepy spell for half a night, Zhao Xing fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, he went to the Agriculture Supervisor to practice as usual.
Although it was difficult to improve the progress of the Four Methods of Heaven and Time in a short period of time, Zhao Xing did not give up.
He believes that this kind of daily training is not in vain, but the progress is small to less than 1 point, and over time, he will break through the bottleneck sooner or later.
The little lynx lay lazily on the locust tree, then picked up a locust leaf with its paws and took a bite.
"Meow~"
It didn't taste good, so the bobcat vomited it out again.
"Can this thing be delicious? You are really hungry. Come on, I will take you to find something to eat."
Zhao Xing looked at the time and planned to take Shan Mao to the Chen Mansion for dinner.
The Tianyuan pear tree he planted himself was still very early in bloom and fruiting.
"Meow." The bobcat's ears perked up. When it heard something to eat, it immediately jumped onto Zhao Xing's shoulder.
Sinong generally eats well.
When Zhao Xing passed by, Chen Shijie was having a big meal at his house.
"Large yellow croaker, a second-grade top-quality ingredient? You also added cooked rehmannia glutinosa and clear wolfberry?"
"Yam and white eel in a pot? Replenish qi and lungs, strengthen the body and nourish yang?"
"And there's the Tremella? Hiss, the stew is so fragrant!"
"Hey, this Golden Pheasant contains clear wolfberry, which is also an aphrodisiac. Mr. Chen, please pay attention to rest and don't overwork..."
Chen Shijie glanced at Zhao Xing: "Who did you learn this weird kung fu from? Can you eat well?"
"Hehe." Zhao Xing stopped teasing Chen Shijie, but looking at the food, he knew that Guiniang must have been staying in Chen's house for the past two days.
The two of them were feasting on a table of delicious food, when a large yellow croaker suddenly jumped out from the ground.
The yellow croaker is twice as big as the lynx. The little lynx raised its head and bit it, completely obscured by the yellow croaker.
Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie both ate very quickly, which can almost be described as wind and rolling clouds. This is a habit developed in the army.
"Are you going out of town for the harvest festival tomorrow?" Chen Shijie asked after eating.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, "Anping Town is the field area I am responsible for. The last harvest of Yuandao is coming, so I have to go and take a look."
"Call Shen Zhui, and I'll give you another straw man." Chen Shijie waved his hand, and a straw man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat suddenly ran out from the back hall.
Zhao Xing took a look, but he didn't see any clues.
"The straw guardian." Chen Shijie introduced, "There are two sword energy stored in it, which is a rubbing of the secret sword technique of a friend of mine in the army. This straw guardian of mine cannot be made even in Nanyang County."
It is unlikely that Xuantianjiao will take action in September, but just in case, Chen Shijie still gave Zhao Xing a layer of insurance.
"Awesome." Zhao Xing gave a thumbs up. The Dharma Protector is a mid-level spell, and it is extremely difficult to practice. Chen Shijie's one is even more extraordinary. After looking at objects with the Five Elements, Zhao Xing actually felt his eyes. Somewhat stinging.
The material of the Weaver Grass Man is not an ordinary material, it is full of the power of metal, and the overall structure is very precise, completely locking the two sword energy inside without leaking.
Such a straw guardian can be used for a long time. As long as it is not destroyed, it can last for almost three to five years!
Zhao Xing used the Five Elements Observer to check, but he could only vaguely feel the sharpness at close range, and could not see the doorway inside at all.
Chen Shijie's praise of Zhao Xing was also quite useful. He wanted Zhao Xing to go to the army with him, so naturally he had to show some means to attract him.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhao Xing left immediately after finishing his meal. He knew that Chen Shijie didn't like to talk nonsense.
Around the autumnal equinox is the time for the last wave of rice harvest.
If the rice is not harvested until October, the rice will rot in the ground and people will be unable to plant a new crop.
Anping Town is also the area under Shen Zhui's public security jurisdiction, but he doesn't have to be there all the time. Small fights between ordinary people don't require too high a force value to resolve.
Zhao Xing and Shen Zhui were riding in a government-sponsored carriage. The carriage itself had three levels of defense. The horse pulling the carriage also had the blood of an alien beast. It had a bulge on its head, thick limbs and black and purple hooves.
"Purple-horned horse-drawn carriages, Brother Shen has become more developed now and has such a car." Zhao Xing joked.
"Don't make fun of me. This is just a match, with only a little bit of the blood of an alien beast."
If the blood is pure, purple horns should grow on the top of the head, and the horse's hooves should also be purple, not the current black and purple.
Real purple-horned horses are usually war horses. However, Shen Zhui's ability to get a carriage like this is considered promising, and at least it proves that Wu Si values him.
"Drive~"
The carriage galloped along the official road and arrived at Anping Town in less than half an hour.
At this time, the fields everywhere are golden. Farmers are harvesting rice in the fields, women are plowing the fields, and children are picking up rice ears. After hugging them into a bundle, they hand them over as if to announce good news. elder.
This scene is beautiful and peaceful, just like the name of Anping Town.
Suddenly, the sky became dark, and dark clouds floated in the distance, as if it was going to rain.
"Brother Zhao, hurry up!" Shen Zhui said quickly.
"Why are you so anxious?" Zhao Xing smiled and pointed toward the sky, and a bead flew up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds, wrapped in golden light.
It is the fourth-level East Lake Pearl.
Although this fourth-level East Lake Pearl has ice properties, it can also be used to absorb rain and clouds.
Normal Si Nong officials do not use East Lake Pearls, but the official treasure "Yun Yu Beads", which are Si Nong treasures specially used to regulate rainwater.
Although this East Lake Pearl is not specially used to absorb clouds and rain, it is of high quality, so the effect is not bad.
After a while, the dark clouds became lighter, and a quarter of an hour later, they completely turned into white clouds.
"Whoosh~" The ice bead returned to Zhao Xing's hand, and the blue light on it became more vivid.
The farmers who were originally in a hurry, preparing to take shelter from the rain to harvest grain, have regained their composure.
"Brother Zhao is a good magician." Shen Zhui drove with a smile and continued to patrol the fields with Zhao Xing.
Anping Town, the Niu family’s fields.
At this time, a group of rice guests were resting under the barn after harvesting rice for the master's family.
Among them was a middle-aged man with an average appearance, prominent cheekbones, and thick hands and feet, and a woman with a yellow leather waist and a headscarf on her head were chatting in a low voice.
"There is no way to take action in September." The middle-aged woman whispered, "Time is too short, and the higher-ups plan to start in November."
"November is the last yang month. If you don't do it, you will have to wait until next year. I guess it will be around the beginning of winter."
"If you don't take action, why should we come here to suffer?" The middle-aged man said with a hammer on his waist, "I can't use my true strength, and my waist is almost broken."
"Anping Town is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Xing. He has the job of encouraging farmers. It's a good idea to come here in advance. Besides, he comes to Niu's family every year as a rice guest. It would be a bit strange not to come this year." The woman handed over a kettle. , "Here, let's quench our thirst first."
"Hey, just like a mortal, it feels really uncomfortable. Even after so long, I still can't get used to this kind of mortal pain." The man complained and looked at the clouds in the sky.
"Stop talking, someone is coming." The woman seemed to be too hot, holding her legs and trying to get up.
At this time, the owner of the Niu family came over in a sedan with several people carrying the box.
"Chen Deshun, Wu Chen, come quickly, wages are due!" someone shouted not far away.
The middle-aged man and woman immediately stood up, pretending to be cheerful and said: "Hey, it's coming, it's coming!"
