Chapter 126: Shennong Blesses, Everything Is Peaceful

The transaction contract only requires three years of confidentiality and five years of dissemination.

Out of respect for Shennong, the orphans in Lijiagou have been acting quietly and spreading the news.

This alone is worthy of Gu Ke's special treatment of Li Xiuer and others and his care for them.

As their strength improves, the farther they go, the more villagers and people benefit from it.

And the various people who have obtained the exotic food also intend to spread it everywhere in the wild.

Among them are the lower-class people, the wandering people, small forces, small officials, etc.

Anyone who has the means and the ability will find a way forward for himself and his family.

Eating exotic food can not only greatly improve the progress of martial arts training, but also have a certain probability of breaking through the talent limit.

Those with extremely poor talent can also get in, and those with ordinary talent have the opportunity to be promoted to the second round of martial artists.

Once you get in, you can be as strong as an ox and run as fast as flying.

Even the worst second-round warriors can fight with strange monsters and demons. Compared with ordinary people who have no power to fight back and can only escape, they are simply ascending on the spot.

Low investment and low risk, with guaranteed bottom and surprise, only fools would not do it.

Besides, if you don't do it, others will do it, and in the end you will become the weakest bottom, who can bear it.

No matter how powerful the government, clans, and gentry in ancient times were, they were not of one mind, and the core members were less than one ten-thousandth of the total population.

It is a daydream to use these few people to stop the remaining 9999+ people and obtain the power that is at your fingertips.

This is also the reason why Gu Ke deliberately adopted the rural encirclement of the city.

As for the chaos in the world and the constant fighting, how much worse would it be than the original situation of no one for a hundred miles and no rooster crowing for a thousand miles? Of course not.

The so-called stable world and few fighting in the past were just small villages that lacked the power to protect themselves and died quietly.

Once all the people died, the people could not leave the land and move around, so the news spread in the vicinity in a few days.

For places farther away, it was naturally peaceful.

Becoming an entry-level warrior can run hundreds of miles in a day.

It is extremely dangerous to travel through the wilderness, but the people do this just to escape or support their families.

Danger is better than waiting to die.

Various wild villages and wild forts can also temporarily allow these people to settle down and spread news from all over the place.

In this way, a new channel for the flow of information is formed, which is no longer completely controlled by the government and major forces as before.

With the trading contract, the exotic food and martial arts are constantly spreading around with the flow of the lower-class people.

…

Miss Qin and her group, who are temporarily in seclusion, are quite satisfied with the small valley named Shennong Valley, and even feel a little familiar with it.

After all, they came from another uninhabited valley.

After settling down, Miss Qin had enough time to think about a question: where should she go in the future?

The news they heard in the towns along the way after leaving the valley was unbelievable, but they had to believe it.

Zhao Heng, who had designed to destroy most of the Lieyang Sect and sent them to the ancestral tomb to wait for death, turned out to be the previous emperor.

The master of the Zhongting Shendu Palace now is the new emperor Zhao Xu.

Zhao Heng ascended the throne in his early thirties. Although he had no legitimate son, no one thought he would die so soon.

Dawu was not an ordinary ancient royal family. It relied largely on the personal force of the martial ancestor Zhao Guangtian to establish the country and collected a large number of extraordinary achievements and secret skills.

The emperors of all dynasties started as at least two-wheeled warriors, and when they were in their thirties or fifties, they had a stable second-wheeled six-turn strength.

Even the most dedicated and diligent emperors could live to seventy or eighty, and it was not uncommon for them to be a hundred years old.

Each emperor ascended the throne late, but most of them were in power for about thirty to fifty years.

The throne was passed to Zhao Heng, but it was just the tenth generation.

After many struggles, calculations, and compromises, the eleventh emperor of Dawu was Zhao Heng's nephew Zhao Xu, who was still a five-year-old child ten years ago.

Many of the more powerful direct royal families wanted to take the throne, but Zhao Heng "dead" at the same time pitted the Tianling Sect and the Lieyang Sect.

The neutral faction among the ministers in the court became the strongest party, and they would never give these powerful royal children a chance to take the throne.

Zhao Heng and his father were both ruthless and overbearing.

Most ministers did not want to create another strong emperor, so Zhao Xu stumbled to the throne.

The reason was that he was young and ignorant, and his mother's family was not strong.

Of course, Miss Qin was not interested in these messes of the Dawu royal family.

But the culprit Zhao Heng, who wanted to be cut into pieces, died early, which caught her off guard and made her feel confused.

Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju were also confused, and they didn't know how to comfort their own eldest lady.

It was Juqin who had an idea and suggested to go to Lijiagou mentioned by Gu Ke first, so that she could take care of Li Xiuer.

Moreover, this place is not too far from Shendu. They could settle down first and then go to Shendu to inquire about the news slowly. It would not be too late to find out the whole story.

Seeing that Li Xiuer was one of the itinerary, it was just a matter of turning the secondary into the main one.

Besides, Zhao Heng was dead, but there were still many other accomplices. Miss Qin had no intention of letting these people go.

Thinking of this, she got rid of her loss and agreed to Juqin's proposal.

A few days later, a large-scale worship ceremony was held in the Shennong Temple at the entrance to the mountain west of Taiping Village.

Most of the villagers did not participate. Only more than 30 orphans of Lijiagou (several people died accidentally in the past ten years) and 100 lucky people who were selected went.

These 100 people were old and young, male and female, and all of them had joined Taiping Village in the past ten years.

They did not enjoy the extraordinary treatment of the dozens of orphans of Lijiagou, but they were more or less convinced by Shennong.

If Li Xiuer and the others were devout believers, these 100 people were general believers and qualified to receive feedback.

However, there were at least 800 people in Taiping Village who were grateful to Shennong.

This group of people was selected because they each had a job in Taiping Village.

Once they completely stood on Li Xiuer's side, Taiping Village would have at least half as many troubles.

Many guards outside the temple were dozens of feet away, prohibiting others from approaching.

In the main hall of the temple, 138 people from Taiping Village stood facing the statue of Shennong, and on the side, Miss Qin and nine others were "watching the ceremony".

In the smoke, Li Xiuer bowed down: "Shennong, protect the peace."

Everyone followed suit and bowed down, shouting in unison: "Shennong, protect the peace."

After three bows, Li Xiuer, the leader, stood up, took out the ten-dollar coin from her body, and raised her hands high above her head: "Shennong is spiritual, bless us."

Under everyone's gaze, the ten-dollar coin emitted circles of golden light, slowly rose, and fell in front of the Shennong statue.

Immediately, the golden light suddenly recovered and condensed into a golden figure, standing in the air.

The facial features and figure were a little illusory and blurred, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a short-robed old man with white hair and beard and a burly figure.

The children of Lijiagou almost subconsciously called out: "Grandpa Shennong!"

The ten-dollar coin had a remarkable effect. This was Gu Ke's successful projection of consciousness by giving feedback.

He controlled the golden figure to nod slightly, responded to them, and then looked at Li Xiuer: "Ten years of martial arts training, ten years of hard work, never slack off, and never change your original intention, great kindness should be rewarded!"

Raised his right hand, a hundred golden lights appeared, scattered on the one hundred villagers.

After doing this, he turned his head and nodded to Miss Qin next to him.

The golden figure turned back into a ball of golden light, plunged into the statue of Shennong, and disappeared.

The Shennong Temple became quiet again, but the reactions of the people were different.

Li Xiuer and the group of orphans in Lijiagou were more surprised.

After many years, they finally saw Grandpa Shennong again.

Although it was only golden light condensed, the praise in the words made them satisfied.

Then there were a hundred lucky villagers who received Shennong's gifts, but their minds were confused at the moment.

Golden light condensed, voice transmitted in the void, martial arts initiation, any of which would surprise them for a long time in the past.

Just now, all happened in front of them in a short moment.

The brain was overwhelmed with surprises and was stunned.

The last one was Miss Qin and the other girls who were watching the ceremony.

Their expressions were very strange. They were surprised, then suspicious, and then suddenly realized.

The reason for their surprise was the same as that of the hundred people. The breath exuded by the golden figure was inexplicably familiar. It was the "affinity aura" of the Wuxiang Zhenjing.

He asked them to come here. Could this Shennong be his... elder in the Xianjia Sect?

The girls didn't think it was Gu Ke himself. It was really that Shennong's appearance was too different from that of a pretty boy.

Miss Qin was a martial arts master, and her perception was more acute.

The golden figure nodded slightly familiar, but it appeared too short, not giving her more opportunities to observe.

After a long silence, someone in the Shennong Temple finally murmured: "Grandpa Shennong! This is really Grandpa Shennong!"

With this voice, the hundred lucky villagers seemed to have regained consciousness collectively, and they exclaimed.

Then someone bowed again, and the others couldn't help but follow suit, making a fuss.

Miss Qin frowned when she saw this, and said to Li Xiu'er, "You go ahead," and then took the eight girls out of Shennong Temple and returned to Shennong Valley.

After returning, everyone also discussed the appearance of Shennong today, after all, this was the first time they saw it.

On the other hand, the relationship between Shennong and Gu Ke was also the focus of their heated discussion.

Miss Qin didn't say much, but listened with relish.

Gossip is a natural instinct for both men and women, and Miss Qin is no exception.

On the other hand, the obedience of the hundred lucky villagers in Taiping Village to Li Xiu'er and her group has increased wildly.

They didn't oppose Li Xiu'er before, but they all had their own little thoughts, which was normal.

Normal people are selfish and will put themselves before others. Employees who are in the same mind as the boss basically have the same interests.

But when Shennong appeared and blessed them, the hundred villagers of Taiping Village felt that they were swept from inside to outside.

Even the most secret thoughts in their hearts were not exempted.

At the same time, they also felt Shennong's satisfaction with Li Xiuer and others.

In fact, this was Gu Ke's consciousness transmitted into their minds by using his divine thoughts.

It is not worth mentioning that the 300+ level Wuxiang Zhenjing wants to do this.

For these hundred people, this is a miracle they have personally felt.

Even if Gu Ke did not directly order them to obey Li Xiuer, but... who dares not to listen?

Is it that Shennong's appearance is not shocking enough, or the iron body and rigid body characteristics infused into the brain are not good enough!

So, starting from this day, Li Xiuer suddenly felt that it was easy to handle various affairs.

The previous situation of arguing and shirking and wasting time has been reduced a lot.

Now, no matter how much they quarrel, things will be negotiated and solved in the quarrel and implemented.

Every March, it is the time for Taiping Village to trade with other villages thousands of miles away.

The merchants will stay in many villages to teach the three martial arts: Black Evil Palm, Pushing Mountain Palm, and Floating on Water.

Over the years, Taiping Village has united and gathered many small villages that are unable to protect themselves, forming its current scale, and its relationship with the surrounding wild villages is not bad.

With less energy involved in the affairs of the village, Li Xiuer can leave the village without worry.

The second village chief Xia Tieniu and his younger brother Li Gouer stayed in Taiping Village.

More than a month later, in mid-April, she ended her business and rushed back to Taiping Village.

In previous years, she mostly went to the farthest and most dangerous villages, and returned almost in early May.

This time, thinking of Miss Qin who lived in seclusion in Shennong Valley, she changed to a village that was slightly closer, compressed some progress, and returned earlier.

When I saw Miss Qin again, she was the only one living alone in Shennong Valley.

Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and spring, summer, autumn and winter went to their respective hometowns together, preparing to bring their families to live in Taiping Village.

After Shennong appeared that time, Miss Qin quickly made a decision to settle in Taiping Village temporarily.

As expected, they will live here for at least three to five years.

Chunxiaqiudong has never known that Miss Qin and the previous emperor of Dawu had a big grudge.

However, Zhao Heng is "dead", so there is no need to mention this matter, so as to avoid their wild thoughts.

Now the world is in chaos, bandits and rebels are everywhere, and strange things and demons are rampant.

Although Taiping Village is not very prosperous, it is relatively stable, and there is Miss Qin, the martial master, and the eight martial masters who are stationed here.

Except for Zhongting Shendu, there is probably no safer place in the world than this place - Yulong Cave Mansion is not counted, Gu Ke will not let them bring their families in at will.

Bringing your family to move here, you can have enough food and clothing, and your life is worry-free.

Miss Qin did not object.

As a martial master, Chunxiaqiudong has many characteristics to protect his life, so there is no need to worry about his own safety.

But they have never been exposed to fighting in the rivers and lakes. If something goes wrong on the way and affects their families, it will not be beautiful.

After the families of Qiu and Dong were convicted, their families were exiled to Donghai and Nanye, respectively, while the families of Chun and Xia still lived in Zhongting.

So, Mei, Lan, Zhu, Ju and Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong formed a group to take care of each other and to find out news from all over the place.

After Li Xiuer came back, she had little impact on Miss Qin.

This was a girl who was taciturn, calm and self-sustaining, and at first glance ordinary.

She didn't seem eager to get along with others, but Miss Qin could feel her sincere respect for her.

Even though it was mostly because of the identity of Shennong's "envoy", she was not annoying.

She came to the cave in Shennong Valley every day, first worshipped the Shennong statue that had been there for more than ten years, then greeted Miss Qin, and left only after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

After half a month, it was already May, and Miss Qin stopped Li Xiuer who was about to leave after greeting: "Come here."

Li Xiuer was only slightly surprised, but she didn't hesitate, walked out of the cave, and came to a small stone table in the valley: "What do you want, sir?"
