Shennong Sequence

Chapter 19 Golden Light
The person who died at the door of the toilet was most likely killed by the strange wind and black wind...

After finishing their meal, Zhao Yun and Liu the Butcher returned to their respective rooms to take a nap.

Although autumn has arrived, the autumn heat has not yet gone away.

It was noon and it was very hot.

However, because Zhao Yun went to bed early last night, he was not very sleepy this afternoon.

When he drew the bow and arrow and prepared to shoot the wooden board, he remembered that Butcher Liu was still sleeping next door. If he kept shooting arrows here, it might disturb his sleep.

So Zhao Yun carried his bow and arrow, walked into the corridor, passed the stable, and went to the backyard.

Standing at a distance of about 10 meters away from a poplar tree.

boom!
Shoot up.

This time, the old bow and arrow that he used for practice had already been shot to pieces by him.

Therefore, the bow and arrow used at the moment can only be selected from the quiver repeatedly, and the one with the worst quality must be taken out.

The arrowhead was made of sharpened bones of an unknown animal, the arrow shaft was made of tough bamboo, and the arrow feathers were made of lively pheasant feathers. This was the combination of the two to form an arrow.

In addition, Zhao Yun stood ten meters away from the poplar tree and prepared to shoot. Simply pulling the bowstring was not enough to make the arrow hit the target accurately.

Therefore, the subsequent practice of archery will require more hand and arm strength.

Furthermore, considering that there are other horse-raising tasks to be done in the afternoon, one should not practice archery skills too hard at this time.

After shooting about ten times, Zhao Yun had to stop and rest.

You need to pay attention to your own condition at all times and be careful to prevent fatigue, muscle strain, injury, etc.

Then, Zhao Yun calculated in his mind the strength of bending the bow and shooting the arrow. Now, as long as he could make the arrow hit the poplar tree, he could add one progress value.

It is not necessary to shoot this arrow with such precision and power that it can hit an arrow through a willow leaf at a hundred paces...

After that, Zhao Yun rubbed his arm gently, switched the bow to his other hand, and pulled the bowstring more than ten times in a row.

Then he paused and looked at the overall progress of his archery:
[Skill: Archery (Beginner)]

[Progress: (41/200)]

[Effect: Strong physique, eagle-like eyes]

"This exercise has increased the progress value by 11 points in total."

"It's like shooting two arrows to get one progress point."

"But it's not bad. After all, I've already mastered the art of archery. The difficulty of the following will always be much greater than before..."

In addition, drawing the bow and shooting an arrow consumes a huge amount of strength in the hands, arms, and shoulders.

Zhao Yun was afraid that after shooting a few more arrows, the strength in his arms would be difficult to recover, and he would not be able to use his strength to do heavy work in the afternoon, which would be a big joke.

He stopped shooting arrows and went back to the room to rest.

……

By the evening, Old Man Sun was feeding the war horses in the middle of the front stable, while Zhao Yun and Butcher Liu were dealing with horse manure in the back.

After they sold the horse manure, took a bath and went to the kitchen to eat, they happened to see a group of people surrounding the talented scholar Jia, asking him to continue telling stories or something like that.

It happened that the work in the stable had been completed. Zhao Yun, together with Liu the Butcher, and two other grooms, Wang Xing and Zhang Zhan, from the No. 13 stable next door, chatted about the work in the stable and sat aside to listen.

There were also several tables where people from the other four animal-raising stations were sitting, eating meat and vegetables and listening to books...

The talented Jia vividly narrated all kinds of novel things, or excerpted passages about ghosts and gods from books, which really aroused everyone's interest and satisfied everyone's curiosity. And these messy information also gave Zhao Yun a vague understanding of the world and dynasty he was in.

After all, Zhao Yun had been active in Zhaojiazhuang for the past ten years or so. The only way he acquired knowledge was from the adults' bragging and listening to the teacher teach him a few words in elementary school. Most of the time, he was herding cattle for the landlord Zhao in Zhaojiazhuang!

How could a person who had hardly ever left the village since childhood know about such important events as the dynasty of the world?

It’s great to hear what’s happening in the county, it’s all new and interesting!

Information in remote border villages is so closed...

Therefore, now, from the storytelling of Mr. Jia and the responses of the surrounding soldiers, the scattered information he heard allowed Zhao Yun to piece together the general outline of this world in his mind.

In this world, there are great scholars, seekers of truth, people who ask Buddha, rude warriors, farmers who nurture all living things, military strategists, people who are good at public transportation, novelists who focus on writing and publishing... and so on.

In this vast world, various forces are intertwined, the situation is changing, and countless heroes have become famous in this turbulent era.

It can be said to be an era of prosperity for hundreds of schools of thought!

As for more information, it was scattered and not systematic, and Zhao Yun only got some fragmentary words from the mouth of the talented Jia.

In addition, Zhao Yun also discovered that Liu the Butcher, because he had stayed in the county town for a long time, could know a thing or two about the major events in the world.

Many of the things he had just summarized about the various schools of thought were provided by Butcher Liu.

It is true that among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher.

After a while, it was about to get dark.

Someone in the guard post rang the gong and shouted loudly, asking everyone to return to their houses quickly and not to go out at will at night. It was best not to go out under any circumstances!
This incident seemed to confirm what Mr. Jia had said in the kitchen this morning about the strange death!
It was as if there was a hidden dark force lurking in the night, waiting for its chance to strike.

Zhao Yun and Butcher Liu hurried back to No. 14 Horse Quarters. Old Man Sun, who had been waiting in the yard, yawned and scolded them when he saw them return:
"You're taking so long to eat. Didn't you notice it's getting dark? Come back earlier next time."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Go back to bed early."

Then, when he saw Zhao Yun and Butcher Liu return to the room, Old Man Sun turned around and went back into the house.

In addition, the war horses in the stable need to be fed another meal of night grass every night to make them fat and strong.

But it's haunted these days, there are special circumstances.

Therefore, Old Man Sun did not let Zhao Yun and Butcher Liu interfere with this job, and he still did it himself.

Since Zhao Yun had witnessed the power of the black wind yesterday, he naturally did not dare to violate the rule of not going out at night.

He lit the oil lamp that had been filled with oil during the day, and then read the secret book "Basic Horse Training" completely. At the same time, he combined what he had learned and done throughout the day and carefully pondered the subtleties of it.

"Basic horse taming. I feel that the key to condensing the 'Seal of Spiritual Communication' lies in the word 'taming'!"

"I guess that tomorrow Old Man Sun will take Butcher Liu and me out for a horseback ride, so that we can experience the feeling of taming horses..."

"In addition, today, the progress value of the basic horse training skill has been increased to (65/100)."

"If I work harder tomorrow morning, I will most likely be able to directly cultivate this basic horse training skill to the entry level. By then, perhaps, like the archery skill, a miraculous power will emerge in my body..."

"Also, when my archery skills evolved, my body also underwent significant changes. I need to pay special attention to this..."

Zhao Yun thought about tomorrow's arrangements and when he lay down on the bed, he heard the whistling sound of the wind coming from outside the house!
Then, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky and shone into the house through the window...

The dazzling golden light made Zhao Yun subconsciously close his eyes.
