"The abandoned forge in Anping Town was originally the site of Tiangongfang twelve years ago."

"Due to a big problem when igniting the earth fire and starting the furnace, the earth fire rioted, resulting in many people being burned to death."

"My family also had a factory here before, but we just built a new forging factory and recruited workers, but something went wrong. Later, Nanyang County issued a ban and closed it down not long after. It was a loss-making business.

"

Zhao Xing sat on Zong Shichang's carriage and looked at the patches of wasteland and dilapidated houses outside.

They walked around the land for a quarter of an hour, but there wasn't even a decent tree. They were mostly very low and small trees.

There are weeds, most of them are strange-shaped thorns. Only such tenacious plants can survive in the scorched earth.

"It's easy to destroy but hard to rebuild. In the first three years, there were no trees here, not even a blade of grass." Zong Shichang said, "Now it's much better. Chen Shijie still did a lot."

"Indeed." Zhao Xing nodded slightly.

Chen Shijie came to Gucheng three years ago to take office.

Before him, the scorched land of Anping Town had been ignored for nine years.

The former chief of the Department of Agricultural Supervision was afraid of getting into trouble and had never dared to repair this land.

Because the land was directly approved by Nanyang County, the destruction was done by Tiangongfang in Gucheng, and there were also investments from the county's prominent family like Zong Shichang.

The issue of rights and responsibilities was never clarified, so it was left on hold.

The higher authorities didn't care, and Gucheng County Magistrate Li Wenzheng didn't want to care either.

The former chief of the agricultural supervision department did not dare to take charge.

Therefore, the land in Anping Town and the factory buildings on it were left abandoned for nine years until Chen Shijie came over.

After he found out, he prepared to repair it without saying a word.

Li Wenzheng didn't want to care about it and didn't stop him, but it was impossible to help him.

Chen Shijie planned to start working with the assistant officer of the agricultural supervision department.

Come down once a week to use the Dilipai magic to regulate the earth veins and repair the soil.

This was a thankless matter, and Xue Wenzhong immediately expressed support at that time. Tang Wanchun, Gao Linong, Pang Yuan and others all found it difficult and opposed it.

Lao Chen is also overbearing and difficult to deal with? Then don’t do anything!

He stopped all government affairs of the Agricultural Supervisor. Regardless of whether Tang Wanchun, Gao Linong, Pang Yuan or others reported government affairs, they just said two words: not approved.

Lao Chen's attitude is that since you want to be bad, then just be bad to the end. We will all be evaluated as "mediocre officials" in the past few years.

Anyway, I was sent down. I didn’t want to be a civil servant like this, and I wasn’t afraid of being demoted again.

There is no other way, the assistant officers of the agricultural supervisory department can only hold their noses and work.

After that, Lao Chen went to the Agriculture Supervisor to find Gongsun Yang, and seconded the manpower and the magic weapons from the workshop. Gongsun Yang refused to work at first, fearing that he would get the blame.

As a result, Chen Shijie stared at Gongsun Yang every day, and would rain hail on other people's ancestral graves if nothing happened. Whatever was planted on the Gongsun family's land died, and it was either windy or raining.

After Gongsun Yang learned about it, he angrily ran to question Chen Shijie.

What? Why do you think the weather in your family’s ancestral graves and the ground is so bad?

Didn’t I tell you before that I wanted to borrow tools and manpower to carry out the work? You didn’t agree to it yourself.

Sorry, I only have so little ability to control the weather in Gucheng. If you are old and immortal, you have the ability to go to the county and sue me!

Gongsun Yang was so angry that his beard was all gone.

I had no choice but to agree to his request.

It took Chen Shijie a year to restore the scorched land to the level of a wasteland.

Next, Chen Shijie reported his merits to the county government. The superiors knew that this man was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, so they could only pinch his nose and give him a commendation.

Although the abandoned factory building has not been demolished, this incident also allowed Chen Shijie to gain a firm foothold in Gucheng, win over the people of the agricultural supervisor, and convince Gongsun Yang and Li Wenzheng.

Therefore, in the Agricultural Supervision Bureau, Chen Shijie always insisted on what he said, and no one dared to oppose him.

"Old Chen's first political achievement is here. He is about to leave soon. He has set up this trap to attract the Xuantian Sect here, intending to gain military glory here... It is really a bit obsessive-compulsive." Zhao Xing

Look outside.

November is the last yang month, so it is no secret that Chen Shijie wants to be transferred.

This assessment in Anping Town had a large number of people, but it was not like the autumn equinox in the mountains. The East Lake Army was there to maintain order and the county and city inspectors were present.

The protective power seems to be relatively weak.

Zhao Xing felt that if he were the leader of the Xuantian Sect, he would have to take advantage of this opportunity to take action.

Chen Shijie guessed that the Xuantian Sect might take this opportunity to take action.

Xuantianjiao guessed that Chen Shijie would guess that they would take action.

"These possibilities are not difficult to guess...it just depends on who dares to do it and who is more prepared." Zhao Xing thought silently.

From the perspective of "historical experience", the Xuantian Sect's planning during the Jingxin Period absorbed the experience of past failures, and its actions were more successful than before.

Did the Xuantian Sect succeed or fail in Nanyang County? Zhao Xing didn't know, but with his own reminder, Lao Chen's plan changed a lot from the original.

Zhao Xing is not sure what the outcome will be.

But his mentality is very good.

"There is no danger to your life. If you are caught by the Xuantian Sect on the pirate ship, then work hard on the pirate ship. It is not impossible to survive the recovery era in the sect camp." Anyone who is a gangster is a gangster, and Zhao Xing is not that kind.

Rigid. However, the path of Qi Luck Dynasty is still very safe, and he still hopes in his heart not to be captured.

The Beginning of Winter assessment for the Agricultural Supervision Bureau begins on the afternoon of November 7th.

The assessment time for officials in other departments is also the same.

It is said to be a joint assessment, but in fact it just puts the officials in the same area, and the content is completely different.

There is no competition between professions, it is mainly competition between the same professions.

The assessment content of the agricultural supervisor is that at least ten different types of plants need to be grown on this piece of scorched soil.

The assessment content of Tiangongfang requires the officials to build a new furnace here and reactivate the fire of the earth veins.

The assessment content of the Weaving Department is to weave robes for warriors, mechanics, farmers, and masters of ceremonies. There are only four types of robes that can be weaved. One is the Heluo robe, the second is the fire-proof robe, the third is the soul-protecting robe, and the fourth is the true essence robe.

.

The theme of Wusi's assessment is "catching monsters". Outside the area of ​​this abandoned factory, some "sect monsters" played by officers and soldiers will appear, sneak attacks from the outer area, and destroy the place.

Rating is based on the number of ‘monsters’ caught.

The assessment content of the temple is similar to that of a warrior, except that the target becomes the ghosts who were burned to death in this factory.

"The five professions have different starting times and ending times."

"The assessment of the Weaver Girl begins at the earliest, starting at Mao o'clock on the seventh day and going in to weave the robes. It will end at Mao o'clock tomorrow, and there are only twelve hours. The materials for the cassocks are all ready. After one day, no matter whether the finished product is finished or not, you have to leave."

"The duration of the mechanical engineer's assessment is two days, starting at noon on the seventh day and ending at noon on the ninth."

"The temple and the warriors start at the latest, starting from the unitary hour on the seventh day, and ending at the tenth hour, and last for two and a half days."

"Sinong starts at the end of the afternoon on the seventh day and ends at Mao hour on the eleventh day. It lasts for three days and four nights."

Zhao Xing came out of the carriage, looked at the entrance of the ruined factory building, and said thoughtfully: "Old Chen, he believed my judgment, but he didn't believe it all, so that's fine."

At the end of the day, the agricultural supervisor began to organize reference officials to enter the delineated land boundaries.

Zhao Xing walked into the abandoned factory carrying an asparagus box that was much larger than last time.

There are not many officials to be considered for the position of agricultural supervisor this time, because the agricultural supervisor is not a fat job. As long as he does not apply for official positions, no matter how good he is in the examination, he will not receive much money at the end of the year.

The other departments are different, and there are still quite a lot of people to refer to.

"Zhao Xing, let's go together." Zong Shichang came closer, "What kind of place do you plan to be?"

"Do you believe my vision?" Zhao Xing pointed to a piece of land not far from the entrance, "You can plant here. I think this is a good piece of land."

"Real or fake?" Zong Shichang looked at it and saw that it was just a piece of scorched earth.

"I've learned a lot of Geographical magic, don't you believe it?"

"I believe it, but where are you going?" Zong Shichang asked.

"Are you being stupid?" Zhao Xing said, "How can such a small piece of land support two people?"

"Let's go together, I think it's quite boring to be alone..."

"Go away! Don't affect my grades." Zhao Xing said coldly. "You don't understand people, so I don't want to be with you."

"You..." Zong Shichang was stunned. He didn't understand why Zhao Xing's attitude changed so drastically and he stayed where he was for a while.

Zhao Xing ignored him and walked directly towards a certain area of ​​the ruined factory building.

As the saying goes, if something is not kept secret, you will lose your identity. Zhao Xing knew some of Chen Shijie's plan, but he did not know the whole story, and it was impossible for him to reveal it to Zong Shichang.

In addition, if a demon really takes action this time, it would not be a good thing for Zong Shichang to follow him.

The abandoned factory occupies a large area. After all, it was originally a project approved by the county.

Zhao Xing carried the asparagus box on his back and walked along, as if he was looking for something.

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, he came to a relatively complete house, which was once the accommodation area for workshop workers.

"This is it." Zhao Xing pushed the door open and entered.

"Meow~" The bobcat jumped over briskly when it saw its owner approaching.

"Shh~" Zhao Xing signaled the lynx to be quiet, "Just stay there and don't make any sound."

The little lynx nodded its head.

Zhao Xing immediately looked into the room.

The room here was prepared for him by Chen Shijie.

In addition to the exotic lynx, there are also many things prepared inside. There are many dark red bamboo tubes stacked in the room, probably with thick calves.

In the center of the room, there is a table, an oil lamp, a piece of paper and a pen and ink.

On the long platform in front is a wooden sculpture of Donghu Bo.

In the southeast corner, there is still a straw man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. It is the straw man who followed Zhao Xing out of the city.

"They're all good." Zhao Xing took inventory, then took out the evil calendar and hung it on the back of the door. He also tied the Thousand Miles Token on his wrist.

Then he sat at the table, picked up paper and pen, and signed his name on the yellow paper.

This is a land deed.

From the moment he signed his name, Zhao Xing became the owner of this house.

Then he took out the sandalwood soul box from the asparagus box, and began to carry the dark red bamboo tubes in the corner, burying them one by one around the fence outside the house.

After doing all this, Zhao Xing took a few photos and rested on the steps.

He is now more than just an ordinary candidate. As one of the insiders of Chen Shijie's plan and an important talent that the Xuantian Sect wants to capture, he certainly has extra perks.

After resting for a while, Zhao Xing was farming in the fenced courtyard.

In addition to the ten types of seeds in the asparagus box, Zhao Xing also brought three additional types.

"The assessment task is to plant ten kinds of herb seeds all over this fenced courtyard."

"Grow the assessment task plants first."

Zhao Xing put down the asparagus box and cast clouds, making the clouds cover the entire courtyard.

Then the wind picked up and the fields were plowed.

"Hoo~" Small tornadoes plowed the soil into ravines one after another.

"Huh~" A soft wind swept the grass seeds from the asparagus box and landed accurately in the ravine.

"Wow~" Raindrops began to fall from the clouds.

“Thrive!”

"Earth returns to its origin!"

"The endless underground palace!"

Zhao Xing cast the spell quickly.

Explore the earth veins, use the earth veins in the courtyard area, and use Ksitigarbha Guiyuan and the Infinite Underground Palace.

The first few spells are very smooth.

But when using the underground palace method, we encountered problems.

"What's going on? Why didn't it succeed?" Zhao Xing was stunned. His [Endless Underground Palace] is already at the intermediate level eight. Although the earth veins here are weaker than elsewhere, they still exist. Logically speaking, there is no possibility of failure.

"Try again." Zhao Xing took off his shoes and stepped on the earth. As the boundless underground palace cast spells, his mind seemed to go deep into the ground and began to explore the earth's veins.

Soon Zhao Xing discovered the fluctuation of the earth vein, which was a dark red earth vein. Based on his induction, Zhao Xing estimated that it had reached the intensity of the third-level fire vein.

This discovery surprised Zhao Xing.

"Level three earth veins? Did I sense it wrong?"

"How is it possible? This area was once burned by the fire of the earth veins. Even if it is repaired by Lao Chen, it stands to reason that it will reach the level of first-level earth veins."

"Why is my induction now at level three? No, it may even be close to level four!"

With doubts in his heart, Zhao Xing continued to cast the spell, and the golden light wrapped his mind and continued.

But at this moment, a weak but clear thought came from the earth veins: "Why is it you?"

"You...Old Chen?" The golden light representing Zhao Xing fluctuated next to the underground veins, obviously very surprised.

Chen Shijie didn't care about Zhao Xing's title, and asked rather unexpectedly: "Didn't you say that the underground palace method you mastered only had three levels? How could you find me?"

Zhao Xing controlled the fluctuations of golden light and sent information through the earth veins: "I used up the number of paintings at the end of the month and made some progress. You are too busy and I don't have time to tell you in detail."

Chen Shijie asked: "What time is it now?"

"Eight turns."

"..."

When Zhao Xing saw that Chen Shijie had not spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "What's going on with this earth vein? Didn't it mean that it was once burned by the earth vein fire, and the earth veins were not visible, and there was only one level?"

"Once upon a time, half a month ago, I cast a spell to strengthen the earth veins here. After a month, it will return to its original strength."

"Then why can't I use the underground palace method?"

"Look down carefully."

Zhao Xing increased his vitality output, added another burst of vitality, and finally saw clearly below.

I could see a dark red palace looming underneath the earth veins. The color of this palace was very similar to that of the fire veins, and it was obscured by a vague cloud-like force. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.

When the vague feeling dispersed a little, Zhao Xing suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of it.

"Hiss~"

A huge fiery red palace, just one tile is three to four meters long and wide.

Based on the scale of the top floor of the palace, Zhao Xing immediately judged that this fiery red underground palace could cover the entire abandoned factory area.

"This is the Hell Palace method!" Zhao Xing was surprised. "Old Chen, did you do it?"

Does he even recognize this? Chen Shijie was also stunned, and then said calmly: "That's right, you don't have to waste extra energy on using the underground palace method."

"Awesome." Zhao Xing exclaimed in his heart that he was awesome.

However, when Bai Lu took the theoretical assessment, he knew that Chen Shijie was a farmer from Dili Pai.

It is completely normal to learn the underground palace method.

Zhao Xing's boundless underground palace was characterized by its large size, but when he took a look at it, he knew that his boundless underground palace was not as big as Chen Shijie's Hell Palace.

"I'll go up first."

"Be careful yourself." Chen Shijie warned again, "If anything happens, Long Xiao and I may not be able to pay attention to you."

"Understood." Zhao Xing would naturally shrink back and not cause trouble to Chen Shijie.

In the evening, the fenced courtyard was covered with grass and vines, and bamboo seedlings gradually emerged.

At night, Zhao Xing lit the candle on the table and it was bright all night long.

On November 7th, nothing happened.

At 9 o'clock on November 8, the officials of the Weaving Department completed their assessment.

After ranking, Weaver Girl can give the robes she made to the other four professions.

Zhao Xing also met a Weaver Girl knocking on the courtyard door.

"Hello……"

"No, thank you." Zhao Xing waved his hand without even raising his head.

Lin Baiwei, who had just received her armor, looked at Zhao Xing, who was lowering his head to farm, and immediately suppressed what he wanted to say. She silently hung the cassock on the fence, turned and left.

After a while, Zhao Xing raised his head and found something on the fence. He was immediately confused: "Have you ruined your brain? Why did you forcefully give it away after you told me not to give it away?"

He made a move and ordered the straw man to get it, and found that the quality was actually quite good. The third-level high-grade true essence robe can increase the speed of recovery of vitality after wearing it.

In the assessment of the Weaving Department, he could be judged by speaking little, but in Zhao Xing's eyes, this was of little use.

"It's baffling. I don't know any Weaver Girl... Do you think I'm handsome?"

Zhao Xing threw the cassock aside and continued farming.

On November 8, there were loud shouts of killing during the day. Zhao Xing stood on the courtyard wall and looked from a distance. It was the personnel of the Wu Division fighting with the soldiers who were pretending to be demons.

On November 9th, the ever-burning lanterns began to sway at night, and the temple staff began to carry lanterns to catch ghosts.

Zhao Xing scanned the surroundings with his bright eyes and found that these ghosts were all tinged with flaming red, representing their state of death during life.

On November 10th, at Chenshi, the assessment of the Wusi and the temple ended, and the surrounding area became quiet, leaving only the assessment of the Si Nong profession that continued.

November 10th, evening, midnight.

Zhao Xing, who had confirmed that he would get a top grade in the assessment, was taking a nap at the table with his eyes closed. The bobcat was also lying in front of its owner bored, yawning.

Suddenly, Shanmao trembled! He arched his body sharply, his eyes glowed green, and he stared at the door.

"Huh~"

The ever-burning lamp shook violently, then suddenly went out, and the surrounding area fell into silence.

It scratched Zhao Xing with its hand, but the latter did not wake up, as if he was already asleep.

"Wow~"

The lynx heard the noise and turned to look over.

I saw the Pixie Almanac automatically opening a page and quickly freezing:

[The ghost enters the dream, it’s a big disaster!]
Chapter completed!
