Shennong Sequence

Chapter 18 Me too, I also want a gentle one

So when shoveling horse manure, you can't just approach it and shovel it.

You have to hold a long shovel, stand far away, and shovel slowly, little by little, to avoid being kicked from behind by these war horses.

But this method is also extremely laborious...

After working for a while, old man Sun stood in the middle of the stable and patiently reminded everyone of the details.

Such lectures can also speed up the growth of the progress value of the 'Basic Horse Taming' skill. Some key essentials will naturally be memorized by Zhao Yun as the progress value increases and as insights emerge!
Besides, having two people working together is much better than Butcher Liu working alone until almost noon yesterday.

This morning, I basically cleaned up the feces that the Wind-Chasing Horse had excreted from night to morning!
Then the next step is to take the feces out and sell it...

However, Zhao Yun and Liu the Butcher had made a promise before in order to obtain the secret book from Old Man Sun.

I won’t take a penny from the subsequent sale of horse manure.

So now, apart from that meager salary, the two of them really have no other income.

"You two can leave a load of horse manure for a while. I have other uses for it."

Old Man Sun said this when the two men packed up their tools and were about to push the manure cart out to sell.

"Old man Sun, what's the use of this horse manure?"

"It's for composting the land. When you two have sold all the manure, push the cart of manure to the empty vegetable field over there and pile it up."

"Hey, I thought this horse manure had other special uses, but now the money from selling the horse manure is yours, you can use it however you want."

Butcher Liu spoke carelessly.

Zhao Yun thought of another thing. Could this feces be used to make saltpeter? Or something else?

Anyway, it is a raw material for gunpowder...

Of course, there are restrictions on the type of manure. It must be the manure that has been accumulated in old pits for a long time to be condensed into the raw materials for making gunpowder. These new manure are definitely not acceptable.

"One nitrate, two sulfur, and three charcoal. I remember the formula for this gunpowder, but the exact proportions still need to be tested..."

Zhao Yun muttered softly.

Later, while Zhao Yun and Liu the Butcher were pushing the dung cart back and forth to sell the dung, and when he came back to take a bath, Zhao Yun was racking his brains to think about how to maximize the use of the gunpowder!
And that pistol?
Can I ask a blacksmith to hammer it out?

Of course, it’s nice to think about it, but it’s very difficult to put it into practice!
Gunpowder, bullets, barrels, firing pins...

No matter how good Zhao Yun's memory is, it's all in vain as he has never actually touched a gun in his previous life.

While taking a bath, Zhao Yun asked tentatively, "Brother Liu, what do you think of the basic horse training secrets given by old man Sun?"

"It is indeed useful for horse breeding if you can understand it, but I still don't understand the cultivation secrets contained in it, and the mark that needs to be condensed. However, I have seen the people in the martial arts hall, and they are so majestic and happy...

What, you have some realization, come and tell me about it."

Butcher Liu was still looking at Zhao Yun with anticipation.

"I can understand that thing, but I don't really understand the mark that needs to be condensed. I guess it's something mysterious. Maybe when I get enlightened, I will understand it all at once?" Zhao Yun said doubtfully.

Moreover, he just wanted to judge from Butcher Liu's words how long it would take Butcher Liu to condense the psychic seal, and thereby judge how fast it would take him to condense the psychic seal.

You can be a genius, but as for a peerless evildoer… I’m afraid if you suddenly appear, you’ll be struck by lightning.

In addition, the situation in the garrison was not peaceful, and he had previously offended Captain Niu...

If Zhao Yun was really a demon, Niu Baihu might have taken action in advance to prevent Zhao Yun from threatening him later, and killed Zhao Yun in his cradle. Therefore, one must have some strength before being able to be a demon.

Besides, being a genius, Zhao Yun also felt that it was already extraordinary enough...

After taking a shower and washing off the smell of horse manure, the two men returned to the stable.

Old man Sun began to teach the two how to wash and brush the horses.

At the same time, I also drew a small cake to eat:

"You two should work hard. Tomorrow afternoon, I will take you out for a ride on horseback. You can also experience the feeling of a wind-chasing warhorse that can travel a thousand miles in a day!"

"Hey, this is good, but I have never ridden a horse. Old Man Sun, pick a docile one for me tomorrow..."

"Me too. I also want a gentle one." Butcher Liu followed Zhao Yun's words and hurriedly made his request.

Old Man Sun looked at the two people who were very interested, and said slowly: "As long as you condense the spiritual seal behind the basic horse training, this warhorse will be as gentle as you want!"

In addition, Zhao Yun also actively and proactively did anything related to horse breeding.

After all, this thing can not only exercise the body a little, but also the progress value of the "Basic Horse Taming" skill can be steadily increased while working.

Anyway, it's no loss if you do it.

If you don't do it, the progress value will never increase.

After a busy morning, Zhao Yun fed the horses a meal at noon. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the progress value of basic horse training had increased to [Progress: (30/100)].

This progress can be said to be very fast.

"It is expected that within two days, you will be able to really get started."

"I just don't know if I can condense the spiritual seal before riding tomorrow?"

After feeding the war horses, Zhao Yun and Liu the Butcher washed themselves a little and went to the kitchen in front to eat.

After showing the sign of the horse prison and ordering meat, vegetables and rice, he sat down to eat, and a group of people surrounded him from behind.

Zhao Yun listened attentively and heard something.

"Have you heard? Someone died last night..."

"What kind of person died? Tell me quickly."

"Last night, behind this guard post, there were gusts of cold wind, howling all over the sky, blowing sand and rocks, and the sky was dark for a while..."

"Master Jia, stop telling stories and just tell us who died and how they died!"

"Rude! Then I'll just briefly say that someone got up last night to go to the bathroom, and this morning someone found that person lying dead at the door of the toilet with his blood drained out.

As for what killed that person, I don’t know.

OK, I'm done. I'm going to eat. Everyone, please go away."

"Damn it, it's over so soon. It's better to listen to Mr. Jia telling stories."

"That's right, which idiot just interrupted Mr. Jia's storytelling..."

Zhao Yun looked at a person who was leaving the crowd with a bit of fear, but he did not wake up others.

Because he thought of the black wind he encountered last night!
