The mountaineering and soul-collecting show is suitable for all officials, that is to say, whether they are agricultural supervisors, Tiangongfang, Zhinu supervisors, military officials, study halls, temples... as long as they belong to government departments, they are eligible to participate.

"These two days are really lively. Apart from the Spring Club, the Autumn Festival is probably the busiest time of the year." Chen Ziyu was walking on the street, watching people coming and going, and couldn't help but grin.

His family opened a shop in Anpingfang, where there was a lot of traffic and business was good, so of course they were happy.

"Qian Dong, are you going to the mountain at the beginning of autumn?" Chen Ziyu looked at Qian Dong next to him. Zhao Xing didn't even ask him. He knew that his brother would definitely go.

"Go, why not go?" Qian Dong said.

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten black and blue? There are a lot of masters coming this year." Chen Ziyu asked.

"Am I afraid?" Qian Dong snorted, "If there are more experts, I'll wait until I can go. If there are fewer experts, I won't go!"

"Oh? Why is this?" Chen Ziyu scratched his head.

"I have just entered the second level of Juyuan. If I collide with the masters of the eighth or ninth level of Juyuan, they will have to beg me not to die." Qian Dong puffed out his chest and said.

Zhao Xing: "..."

No, what are you proud of?

Chen Ziyu said: "Dongzi, there are regulations prohibiting killing people in mountain climbing, but you can't expect others not to rob you because you are weak, right?"

Zhao Xing said coldly: "If you really encounter a ninth-level Juyuan warrior, he will chop you a hundred times with his superb control, and he can avoid the vital points with his sword."

Qian Dong: "..."

"Then I have to go, it's only once a year." Qian Dong was a little discouraged.

"It is not recommended to go. You are only at the second level of Juyuan. If you encounter a beast on Lingshan Mountain, you will die without knowing how." Zhao Xing said.

"I know, brother."

"You have to be more careful this time you climb the mountain. You have only reached the fourth level of Juyuan. If you encounter an expert, take a detour. Once you gain something, go down the mountain immediately. Don't force yourself." Xue Wenzhong said seriously.

He originally did not recommend Zhao Xing to go, but Chen Shijie held the opposite opinion and felt that Zhao Xing was capable of handling it. In addition, Zhao Xing also wanted to go, so Xue Wenzhong was convinced.

"I understand, teacher, I went up the mountain to try my luck. I will ensure my own safety first, and the soul-hunting show second."

The Sinong profession is somewhat weak and is not good at combat effectiveness. It is normal for Xue Wenzhong to have this worry.

After Old Sinong warned him, he took Zhao Xing to the study and gave him a backpack-style bamboo box half a person's height.

"This is an asparagus box. I made it myself, and I saved a batch of seeds in it."

"Among them are the familiar 'Jingang Bamboo' and 'Ivy'."

"You are good at the straw man method. After you open the mountain, you don't have to rush up the mountain to fight for the top spot on the first day. You can do some straw man self-defense first, and then walk around the foot of the mountain."

"There are also five magical talismans, ten internal protection pills, and fifteen Tianyuan pears..." Old Sinong muttered while carrying the bamboo box on Zhao Xing's back.

"Thank you teacher."

Zhao Xing turned around and felt his shoulders sinking behind his back.

The bamboo box is quite heavy. How many things are put in it?

Asparagus, whose real name is warm bamboo, can prevent fruits from rotting and keep seeds in bamboo boxes made from it.

Climbing mountains to collect spirits is dangerous, so officials are not prohibited from carrying treasures, but they cannot exceed the third level.

Zhao Xing was one of the more promising officials in Gucheng. Xue Wenzhong and Chen Shijie didn't want him to miss the opportunity and were worried that something might happen to him, so they filled a bamboo box with things.

"Tomorrow there will be an official from the county. Chen Shijie and I don't have time to see you again. Don't overdo it these two days and keep yourself energetic." Xue Wenzhong kept nagging.

"I understand, teacher." Zhao Xing listened quietly and did not leave until Xue Wenzhong stopped talking.

On September 21st, Ji Ming, a sixth-rank official of the Nanyang County Supervision Department, Fan Dongping, a sixth-rank official of the Agricultural Supervision Department, and several seventh- and eighth-rank officials from other departments, arrived at the east gate of Gucheng in a floating cloud flying boat.

Li Wenzheng led the crowd to greet him three miles outside the city, and the honor guard beat gongs and drums all the way to the city.

The people inside and outside the city immediately knew that a high-ranking official had arrived in Gucheng.

The clerks in charge of agricultural supervision were not qualified to participate in the reception outside the city.

But in the afternoon, Fan Dongping, who was from the same system, came over as a farmer supervisor to inspect, and he had the opportunity to see the majesty of a sixth-grade powerhouse.

"I actually sent someone of the sixth grade here. Old Chen is quite valued." Zhao Xing was watching from a distance on the pavilion of Huailiu Courtyard.

Ordinarily, this year is not a big start, so sending a seventh-grade person over here will do the trick, and it will just be a formality anyway.

If there is no other reason, then it can only be that the chief official Chen Shijie has a good reputation and is valued by his superiors.

"Jin Gong, you are from Xishan County. Are you still used to it after living in Nanyang County for three years?" Fan Dongping asked with a smile.

Jin Gong is the epitome of Chen Shijie.

Chen Shijie was half a body behind Fan Dongping. When he heard what the other party said, he immediately chuckled and said: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Nanyang County has beautiful mountains and rivers, and rich products. My hard bones have become a little soft."

Already."

Fan Dongping raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, you Chen Jinggong, you are going to scold me, Nanyang County's farmer, for being greedy for enjoyment and not making progress, right?"

"How dare I? Lord Fan has always been wise and mighty in my heart."

"Hahaha." Fan Dongping stroked his beard and laughed.

The accompanying officials, such as Gao Linong, Tang Wanchun, Pang Yuan and others, were all a little surprised. How could Fan Dongping be so easy-going when chatting with Chen Shijie? Could it be that Chen Shijie was really well-established? This time Fan Dongping could

Is it because of him?

September 22nd, the autumnal equinox.

At the foot of Donghu Mountain, Ditan Square.

Starting at Mao o'clock, the temple's master of ceremonies has been busy making arrangements here to prepare for the opening of the mountain.

On the outside of Ditan Square, there are signs of various ministries around it, dividing the viewing areas.

Zhao Xing rushed to Ditan Square early in the morning and came to the viewing area where the Sinong Supervisor belonged.

I saw dozens of long platforms in the Temple of Earth Square, on which were placed three animal sacrifices, jade ritual vessels, incense candles and yellow paper.

At the end of Mao Shi, the officials and staff who were watching the ceremony took their places one after another, and there were soldiers from the East Lake Army to maintain order because there were too many tourists and vendors who came to join in the fun.

At a quarter of the hour, the sacrifice officially begins.

First, the temple master prayed and sang lyrics to worship the gods (yin gods canonized by the imperial court), mainly Donghu Bo, Caoxi, etc.

Next, County Honorable Li Wenzheng came on stage, his golden voice vibrating, and his voice spread for hundreds of miles, praying for good weather in Gucheng, a good harvest, and peace and prosperity for the people of Gucheng.

It’s been a while since this set of procedures was completed.

But the people around me only saw more people, not less people.

After all, this is an annual event.

"Why isn't it over yet? I almost fell asleep listening to it."

"Come on, it will be the Western Hillbilly's turn soon."

"Shh, be careful if Chen Shijie hears you."

"Why don't you call him by his first name? Why are you pretending?"

"..."

"Coming!"

"Mom, look, the mountains are about to be opened!"

The officials and the people are eagerly awaiting it.

Chen Shijie, the chief officer of the agricultural supervision department in Gucheng, and the other seven agricultural supervisors, climbed onto the altar of earth and performed the Mountain Expansion Technique.
Chapter completed!
