Shennong Sequence

Chapter 43: Sneaky and stubborn, raising the bow and arrow

As soon as they arrived at the valley, they felt that the originally cold and gloomy air in the valley was rapidly dissipating.

It was as if the ghost that originally existed here, suppressing the earth veins and condensing the Yin energy, had disappeared.

Looking around, there were weeds everywhere and bones were common. Where were the green plants? Where were the herds of prey?
All the signs that Zhao Yun saw at first were just part of his fantasy.

"Could it be possible that this sneaky creature could run away on its own?"

"Don't say it. This is the most likely possibility. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why it suddenly ran away and then even its original body disappeared."

“According to the records in the classics, this kind of ghost is usually formed by the soul of a living being full of resentment, which is nourished by the Yin meridian for a long time.

It is because of a certain obsession that it can survive in the world for a long time.

So, this sneaky creature has always been stubborn and should not have run away before taking revenge on Zhao Yun for discovering its hiding place.

I feel that there may be other unknown reasons involved.

Everyone, please be careful not to be careless in the near future. Tomorrow night, everyone should continue to observe and see if this sneaky person has really escaped."

Taoist Jin Guang began to give instructions to everyone.

"Okay, let's investigate again tomorrow night to confirm it."

Commander Wang Shijian gave a summary speech.

Afterwards, everyone left with full of doubts.

The next morning, Zhao Yun stretched comfortably and slowly got up from the bed.

He looked at the thunder flower on the bedside that was still flashing with electric light. It seemed that no ghost or monster came to find him last night.

This made him feel much more at ease.

Then he followed Liu the Butcher to work. When they took a break at noon, Old Man Sun showed up in time and went with Zhao Yun to the reclaimed wasteland behind the garrison to measure it.

Old man Sun walked along the edge of the field step by step. His footsteps seemed to be the most standard ruler. After walking around, he measured the specific data of the wasteland that Zhao Yun had reclaimed.

"You have reclaimed 0.2 of the land in the past few days, and now there is of the land left. According to my suggestion, you should continue to reclaim of the land in the morning and leave the remaining of the land there.

In addition, sneaky things may be eradicated in these two days, so the time for you to hold the ceremony is either tomorrow night or the night of the day after tomorrow, anyway, the time will not be too different.

Just wait patiently."

"it is good."

Zhao Yun learned the exact time of the ceremony from Old Man Sun, and he was suddenly delighted.

The high morale that had been somewhat low was restored again.

The work of reclaiming the land and turning the soil gave me energy and strength again in an instant.

However, this time, only one-half of the land was reclaimed, so the workload was much less than before.

Zhao Yun worked to the end in one breath and completed the work ahead of schedule.

Then 0.2 mu of land is left there until the ceremony is to be held before it can be reclaimed.

"Patrol Grass Puppet, keep an eye on my land. I'm going back to rest."

Zhao Yun picked up his tools and returned to the garrison.

In the stable at the back, he communicated with the filly again through the psychic seal, brushed the filly's fur, and made the filly hum softly.

This caused the sturdy adult horse nearby to sneeze, looking very unhappy. Zhao Yun smiled and patiently brushed the fur of the big mare next to him who was sneezing unhappily...

Then Butcher Liu shouted loudly, asking him to prepare lunch for these wind-chasing horses.

After the horses had eaten their fill, Butcher Liu went to the kitchen to get lunch for the two of them.

After lunch, Butcher Liu grabbed Zhao Yun who was about to leave, skillfully took out the book "Basic Horse Training", and continued to ask about some things in the book that puzzled him.

Zhao Yun was also a little puzzled. This Butcher Liu had already asked quite a few questions. Logically, he should have understood all the contents of "Basic Horse Training".

Why hasn’t the psychic seal been condensed yet?

Or are some key steps missing?

"Brother Liu, logically speaking, you have almost understood the contents of "Basic Horse Taming", and you should be close to condensing the Spiritual Seal."

"But you said you still don't feel anything. I don't quite understand the specific reason. Why don't you go ask Master Sun?"

"After all, we give all the money we earn from selling horse manure to Master Sun. As long as you go and ask for his advice, he shouldn't be stingy."

Butcher Liu sat there and thought about it seriously, then nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yun no longer had to continue clearing the land and went back to the house to rest.

Then he remembered that he had to bring roast chicken to the little fox tomorrow.

Originally, the easiest way to do this would be to go to the kitchen, buy a chicken, and ask them to help roast it.

But unfortunately, Zhao Yun's family couldn't even pay the autumn tax, and when he left home, he didn't have a penny on him.

He is just a penniless pauper.

How can he expect the kitchen staff to prepare food for him?

The food and wages for the stables will have to wait until next month to be paid, so there won’t be enough time.

As for the matter of borrowing money, people are spreading rumors that he is a gigolo and he is asking a ghost for money...

The only person who could lend him money was Master Sun.

But Master Sun told him to go hunting when he had nothing to do...

So, we still have to go hunting in the mountains.

At the same time, when Zhao Yun was herding and hunting rabbits, he found that the archery progress value increased a lot while hunting.

He also hoped to use the free time this afternoon to go hunting and thoroughly advance his introductory archery skills, which were already halfway advanced!
Anyway, when you feel sleepy, sore, painful or tired, you can recover in time through the origin point.

Therefore, the most important thing is to transform these resources into strength in a timely manner!
Zhao Yun carried a bow, quiver, sickle, and a bamboo tube of water, and walked into the forest with full of anticipation.

This time, he specifically ignored the valley that he had found somewhat strange before, and walked in the opposite direction, into the mountains.

Along the way, we could see many traces of animals.

Zhao Yun's sharp eyes kept scanning the grass and trees, following the animal path, and soon he found several rabbit holes in the woods on this side.

But what Zhao Yun lacks now is a chicken, and it must be a chicken that can survive until tomorrow.

So when seeing so many prey, Zhao Yun did not act rashly, but approached quietly.

When the distance between him and the prey was twenty steps, Zhao Yun raised his bow and arrow, staring closely at the pheasant whose color almost blended into the grass.
