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

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 magic of the dancers and musicians will be improved."

"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 ability of the audience, the more feedback the dancers and musicians will get from the performance. If they can also give things, 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.

As expected, 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.

It would be great if he could return the bird'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 they knew Young Master Zong, so they returned the favor one after another.

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 good 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 dishonest. 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, 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 at 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 shone with cold light and were very extraordinary.

Behind the tiger were four small mechanical 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, I should be twenty-one," Zong Shichang said.

"Does he look like Twenty-One to you?" 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 ingenious work, it is 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 ‘heart-breaking 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 this kind of secret method, it is impossible to resist not using it. Use a little today, use a little tomorrow, and over time... Even if there is luck and longevity from the Qi Luck Dynasty, it cannot 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 circle, and he would not do anything that would shorten his life. Of course, he would like to use the Gong family's treasures.

People in the Temple of Heaven Square were waiting for the second wave of incense, while those below were waiting for the battle between Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao to end.

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

"clang!"

As a crisp sound emerged, everyone's ears trembled and they quickly took a few steps back.

And the two lights 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 ran over quickly.

"I'm fine."

Du Jiaojiao panted slightly, her hair disheveled.

Yang Junxiong's hair was not messed up and his breathing was even. It seemed that the battle just now was very easy for him.

"She has become stronger again." Zong Shichang said with emotion, "No one tastes her red lips, and she can kill a young man with one punch. Who dares to ask for it if this continues?"

"Brother Zong, all high-level warriors have very good hearing. If you don't cultivate your oral ethics, I'm afraid you will be the young man beaten to death." Zhao Xing said calmly.

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

"Let's take a look first."

Zhao Xing stared ahead.

I saw Yang Junxiong pointing his gun at the approaching Lu Qian and Liu Muqing: "If you continue to pester, I will find a way to severely injure you and your friends."

"You are despicable!"

"shameless!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Lu Qian and Liu Muqing changed.

Du Jiaojiao stopped the two of them, stared at Yang Junxiong for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll give you this incense."

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

"I can't tell that Du Jiaojiao is very affectionate." Wen Zhao shook his feather fan, "He is actually willing to give up the opportunity to fight for the top spot for his friends."

"It is indeed rare. No one can remember what happened on the mountain, but she still did it with a pure heart. No wonder her marksmanship is so powerful." Zhang Boran said with emotion. "But she probably felt that she was not sure of winning the first prize, so she gave up."

"Stop talking so much and get ready."

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

No one dares to have an opinion if a top-notch strong person does this.

I can only watch helplessly as they occupy the first four places to worship the gods.

The positions for the first four incense sticks are now full.

The pressure suddenly came to Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran.

The moment Du Jiaojiao and the others stepped onto the steps, Zhang Boran immediately started sprinting.

Wen Zhao muttered something: "When you step east, you will see the sky, and your energy will stir the world and you will be far away."

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

He rushed up the hundred stone steps almost instantly.

However, just when Wen Zhao thought Zhang Boran would be the fifth one to go in, Zhang Boran suddenly ran back at a faster speed.

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

Zhang Boran looked expressionless, raised his hand and punched Wen Zhao.

"What? Zhi Ge..."

Before Wen Zhao could finish his words, he was hit directly by a punch. His teeth flew out, and Wen Zhao flew backwards. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This strange scene made everyone who was eager to try it stop and wonder.

What's going on?

Zhao Xing glanced back at Yuan Bo next to Zong Shichang.

Just now, Uncle Yuan, who had always kept a low profile, took action.

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

He spread his limbs and completely attached himself to Zhang Boran's body, controlling him like a puppet on strings.

"Usually using the ji to invite the gods to one's own body, Uncle Yuan can actually invite the yin gods to others? There is something." Zhao Xing originally planned to take action, but after seeing what happened to Zhang Boran, he

Just stopped.

"Master, you can go in." Uncle Yuan, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke up, his tone a bit gloomy.

Zong Shichang looked at Zhao Xing and gave up the fifth opportunity to burn incense: "Zhao Sanjia, you go first, it's not appropriate for you to come last."

Zhao Xing glanced at Yuan Bo, who had no reaction.

"OK."

Zhao Xing was not polite, and immediately caused the dark wind to surround him, drifting towards the steps like a ghost.

Gu Feng, who was behind him, squeezed his silver bow but did not dare to take action after all.

Some people see how special Yuan Bo is, and if they take action now, they may not be able to get the fifth stick of incense.

Hu Yang, who stood between the two machine beasts, was also indifferent.

He had never thought about competing for the top five, but the fragrances after fifth were all similar, and the differences were very small, so there was no need to compete.

Therefore, after Zhao Xing entered, Zong Shichang, Uncle Cang, and Uncle Hu all entered safely.

Next came the archer Gu Feng and the machine master Hu Yang.

Zhang Boran was the last one to enter.

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

After Zhao Xing entered the temple, he did not see the four people in front of him.

On the temple platform, three animals are worshiped, and a statue of a god holding a ruler looks into the distance.

Zhao Xing thought, and the incense in his hand suddenly burned. After bowing three times, he placed the incense on the incense burner.

He muttered something: "Zhao Xing, the agricultural official, asks the true king to show his sage."

The incense was burning, and it was obviously a very thin wisp of incense, but suddenly smoke filled the entire hall.

When I looked up again, the surroundings suddenly became foggy and the light dimmed.

The statue of the god on the stage has 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 and beautiful, then the true king will usually tell him the answer directly after he appears as a saint.

But what the lynx protects is obviously not the middle-grade ones, 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 place, I can directly tell you a location without any effort."

"Have you thought about it?"

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

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.

Completely conflicting with each other.

If you fail to answer to satisfy Yin Shen 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 dispersed.

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 your gift."

Zhao Xing raised his hands toward the mountain.

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

The lynx 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 same size as a normal house cat.

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

I don’t seem to understand why Zhao Xing has the wind chimes in the mountain temple.

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

The lynx shrank its head and seemed a little hesitant, but the wind chime was emitting bursts of light, and it couldn't help but want to get close.

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

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

This is why bobcats can be purchased 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 Luck Gold Cup.

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? Eat as much as you want from now on. If you are willing to follow me, just come over." Zhao Xing said softly.

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

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

A person and a cat have established a certain connection.

【Lynx (young)】

[Bloodline: Lingxiu Alien Species (transformed from taking a variety of mountain Lingxiu)]

[Level: Ninth-grade mid-stage]

[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 Bobcat on the panel, Zhao Xing grinned and held the Bobcat on his shoulders: "Little guy, you won't regret your choice this time."

"Meow~" the lynx responded.

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and walked towards the cave.

Since the straw man has been here once, he is familiar with the cave.

Arriving in front of the huge white skeleton again, Zhao Xing vaguely surmised everything that had happened.

There was another strange beast that fought with the mother of the lynx. In the end, both were injured, leaving only the cub alive.

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

"Meow~" The lynx stretched out its paw and pointed at one of the forks.

"Hidden in the Ice Lotus Pond? You are really smart, are you on guard?" Zhao Xing smiled and pointed towards Cha Dao: "Go and get it."

"Whoosh~" Zhao Xing felt his shoulders sink, and then the lynx rushed into the fork in the road like lightning.

Between breaths and breaths, the bobcat left and came back again, holding a cup bigger than its head in its mouth.

"Meow meow?" The bobcat jumped on Zhao Xing's shoulder and rubbed it.

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

The cup has a soft texture, like jade, and there are faint mysterious lines on the cup body, as if it contains the mysteries of heaven and earth.

When Zhao Xing looked, a golden air flow suddenly appeared in the originally empty cup, which instantly became as rich as a liquid.
Chapter completed!
