Chapter 107: Shiyang Cave Heaven, Military Minister's Training Rules (Part )

Chen Shijie's words were calm and his tone was simple.

Helian Lie looked at the middle-aged man named Lei next to him, who shook his head slightly and whispered:

"I'm not fooled. The military minister on the other side is not simple. We still have people to send away. We can't waste time. Let's find another way."

"Yeah." Helian Lie put away the jade pendant and left quickly with the three young men and the man named Lei.

"The people of Lieyang Army are too arrogant!" Long Xiao looked at their backs, "What do you mean their military orders are more important than ours? They are simply insulting the Shenwei Army. I really want to stab that bastard to death with a sword..."

“Long Xiao!” Chen Shijie shouted in a low voice, and a cool breeze swirled around Long Xiao’s ears: “Wake up! You’ve been tricked.”

"Huh?" As the cold wind blew, the anger in Long Xiao's eyes subsided, and then his expression changed slightly.

"Why have you become so unvigilant?" Chen Shijie frowned and said, "You really need to train well when you go back."

This time Long Xiao did not refute, but nodded seriously: "Well, I remember it."

Zhao Xing asked suspiciously, "Was that a Li Xiu just now?"

"Yes, he is a military strategist." Chen Shijie said, "He uses his brightness to make people confused. Just now, Li Xiu used the method of provoking others."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized: "How fucking insidious."

The so-called provocation, for Li Xiu, is not just verbal stimulation.

It is one of the "Zhaohui Methods" that can shake people's intellect and wisdom without them realizing it.

Make the opponent confused.

"If Long Xiao really can't help but attack them, no matter who comes to the ninth fire pit first, we will be driven out of the Taoist temple, and they will succeed."

Long Xiao cursed: "Li Xiu is so insidious and cunning. I am really impressed by these sons of bitches."

Chen Shijie said, "You haven't had much contact with Li Xiu in the past five years. When you get to Xi'er County, find Brother Jia and practice with him."

Long Xiao suddenly looked a little worried: "Can we change someone? I'll go find Brother Chengxin. Jia Pu likes to use the "Intelligence Reduction Method" and his mouth is foul. Every time I come out of the practice, I feel like a fool."

"up to you."

Zhao Xing was a little curious and asked, "Why didn't that person cast a spell on me? I am obviously much lower than Long Xiao in realm."

Chen Shijie shook his head: "He and Long Xiao are at the same level. If the provocation succeeds, there is nothing to say if he is inferior to others. It is common for soldiers to spar with each other. We will not cause trouble afterwards."

"But if he attacks you, it will go beyond the scope of normal sparring and break the rules. We will find him afterwards and he will be punished for it. The whole army will also be ridiculed."

Zhao Xing nodded. No wonder that person chose Long Xiao instead of himself.

The young man in yellow robe was also confused, but he was much smarter than the previous one, so he pretended that he heard nothing. After all, he was just a little Taoist boy, and it was best for him to be an invisible person.

After a while, the flames from the ninth fire pit rose up, one meter higher than the highest flame just now.

Seeing this, the young man in yellow robe was immediately delighted: "Master Chen, Master Long, someone has returned to the ninth fire pit. The fire pit formation is large enough for you to reach Datong Prefecture. You can go in early without waiting."

Seeing this, Chen Shijie bowed to the yellow-robed Taoist boy and said, "Thank you. Please tell our respected teacher that I thank him for his help."

"I will definitely convey it." The young man in yellow robe nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shijie and Long Xiao Zhaoxing walked along the slope towards the fire pit in the depression.

"Whoo~"

The fireworks were loud, but the temperature was not high, only slightly higher than the human body temperature.

"Calm the mountain cat down and make it not afraid. This process will be quick." Chen Shijie looked at Zhao Xing and said, "Just walk in and relax your body. Long Xiao, show him how to do it first."

"Okay." Long Xiao walked into the center of the fire pit and was soon engulfed by the flames.

Zhao Xing observed that the flame-like silk pattern on Long Xiao's body had become thicker.

When the second layer of entanglement was completed, the next moment, Long Xiao fell down.

"Puff~" With a slight explosion of flames, Long Xiao disappeared in the fire pit.

Then the height of the flame dropped two feet.

"Meow?!" The mountain cat widened its eyes, as if asking where the person was. Where was that big person just now?

"You come in." Chen Shijie said, "I'll watch you."

"Okay." Zhao Xing held the mountain cat in his arms and walked into the ninth fire pit.

Hiss~ The flames licked Zhao Xing's skin, and the clothes on his body seemed to be completely ignored.

But the clothes did not catch fire.

The mountain cat was restless in Zhao Xing's arms, but with Zhao Xing's comfort, it forced itself to let the flames wrap around its body.

"Pfft~"

There was a slight explosion, and Zhao Xing and Shanmao disappeared instantly.

The height of the flame dropped another two feet.

After Chen Shijie entered, he disappeared.

The flames in the fire pit dropped three feet and were less than one meter high.

………………

Datong Prefecture, Lihuo Taoist Temple, the fire pit area where the altar is located.

"Whoo~"

A flame that was originally only one meter high suddenly rose higher, revealing a human figure.

Long Xiao walked out from it.

He glanced at his hands and said, "I have to go back 80,000 miles, and then I have to run like crazy again after I get back."

Then the flames jumped again, and Zhao Xing and Shanmao also came out.

"It's amazing."

"The quality of this five-element power is extremely high, and the magic array is also extremely exquisite. It seems to be utilizing the power of the fire element of the earth veins, and it can quickly travel through the earth veins." Although Zhao Xing had also passed through a fire pond in his previous life, he didn't feel anything.

Now I feel the magic.

"There is a layer of fire power wrapped around the body, and it also has a unique power."

"It's illusory, but it's real. It seems to be directly connected to the heaven and earth. If you don't follow the rules set by the universe, the pattern formed by the power of fire will keep reminding you, and the pressure will become greater and greater."

After borrowing the road, one must rely on one's own strength and walk twice the distance of the borrowed road without any magic or external force.

If you complete the return within a month, there will be no impact at all.

If it lasts for more than a month, the oppressive feeling brought by the mysterious pattern will cause any spells and secret techniques to be distorted.

Will the situation become more and more serious if it lasts for more than a year?
You won’t have to pay it back in this lifetime.

"We've reached Datong Prefecture?" Zhao Xing asked. "In just half an hour, we've covered a distance of 20,000 miles?"

"Yes." Long Xiao nodded, "To be exact, it is 20,083 miles."

"After you enter the Ten Sun Cave Heaven, it is best to complete the journey within a month. Do not use magic or external forces. Just rely on your body to walk twice the distance. The same goes for Kitty."

"Meow?!" The little bobcat was a little dumbfounded.

Doesn't that mean I have to walk more than 1,300 miles every day?

It’s almost exhausting the cat!

"Woo woo~" The mountain cat rubbed against Zhao Xing's arms.

Can I not leave?

"Do you want to be a dead cat?"

The bobcat's ears suddenly drooped.

Never mind. More than 1,300 miles a day isn’t that far.

"Puff~"

Chen Shijie also walked out of the fire pit.

Afterwards, the three of them left the altar and the fire pit and left this branch.

The three of them continued their journey by boarding the Liuyun flying boat in the city.

"The westernmost part of Datong Prefecture is Xi'er County."

"Then how does this ship fly east?"

"Long Xiao and I are going to Xi'er County to meet the Marquis. You go to Shiyang Cave Heaven first."

Chen Shijie said: "You have to complete the recruit training, including the military agriculture training regulations."

"We will first take you to the eastern entrance of the cave, and then rush to Xi'er County."

Zhao Xing understood. He looked at the mountain cat in his arms and asked, "Can I take it in with me?"

Chen Shijie said: "The training schedule is very full. You don't have the energy to take good care of the mountain cat. Let me help you take care of it first."

"Okay." Zhao Xing didn't say anything and directly handed the mountain cat to Chen Shijie.

Anyway, he was familiar with the people who had eaten and drank for free in Chen's house before, so Shanmao didn't resist this decision, but he was reluctant to leave Zhao Xing.

"You are in Shiyang Cave Heaven. If you need anything, just tell us." Chen Shijie said slowly, "The assessment and training of Junsinong is very strict, and the competition is huge."

Long Xiao also said: "There are nine garrisons in Shiyang Cave Heaven now, so there must be a lot of people training with you. If you are bullied by someone, we will definitely help you get back at them."

"If you lose to someone of the same realm, we won't care." Zhao Xing nodded: "Don't worry, I will not let the Divine Might Army be humiliated."

The Liuyun flying boat flew eastward for half a day, and after crossing many cities and towns, it began to enter a mountainous area.

"The entrance to Shiyang Cave Heaven is in the Wanfeng Mountains of Datong Prefecture. We have entered the military control zone."

"Look, there are already a lot of people rushing here."

Zhao Xing looked up and saw many flying boats appearing. With his sharp eyes, he could see that there were at least hundreds of them around, all heading in the same direction.

"Roar!"

At this moment, suddenly, the faint sound of a dragon's roar was heard from the clouds behind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shijie immediately controlled the Liuyun flying boat to lower its altitude and dodge to the side.

"Whoo~"

A moment later, the thousand-meter-high clouds behind were suddenly rolled up.

A huge dragon head suddenly emerged from the clouds.

A small vortex formed in the dragon's mouth, and the surrounding clouds were shattered, causing gusts of wind.

The dragon head is big enough, but it is still the tip of the iceberg.

Zhao Xing discovered that the dragon's head was growing on a nearly 100-meter-long horn.

Then the deck, hull, and nine-story attic on the hull slowly emerged.

giant!

Zhao Xing looked at the dragon-headed ship and had only one thought in his mind.

"That's the flag of the Tiger Dragon Army," Chen Shijie introduced. "It's also the highest ranking of the nine armies stationed in the Ten Sun Cave Heavens. It ranked 309th in the last military performance. The one in charge of the Tiger Dragon Army is Ming Wu Hou."

"Let's let the Dragon Head ship go first."

When encountering a dragon-headed building ship, one can only stay away from it, because the dragon-headed building ship swallows up wind and clouds and is so huge that if one gets too close, the small Flowing Cloud Flying Boat will be overturned.

When the dragon-headed ship passed by, Zhao Xing looked from afar at the teams of soldiers standing on the deck. They looked so powerful and majestic that he felt they looked mighty even from a distance.

The flag of the Tiger and Dragon Army is also very eye-catching. The tiger and dragon flag with bared fangs and claws flutters violently in the wind, as if it comes alive, captivating the heart.

"Let's go, and continue on our journey."

After flying for another half an hour, the Liuyun flying boat finally began to fall.

A huge lake appeared in the mountains below, and surrounding the lake were tents stretching for dozens of miles.

"Whoo~"

The Liuyun flying boat landed in front of a small palace in the center of one of the camps.

"We're here. This is the outskirts base of my Shenwei Army. This palace is one of the arsenals of the Shenwei Army. I'll take you to get the equipment first." Chen Shijie said.

After Zhao Xing became a ninth-rank official, some of the equipment of the Sino-agricultural officer had not yet been issued. He was selected to join the Shenwei Army, so naturally he came to lead the army.

"Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, long time no see." After entering the palace, he soon saw an old man in casual clothes.

"Mr. Fang." Chen Shijie and Long Xiao immediately bowed to the old man.

"You guys are a little late in sending this person. The newcomers from other departments have already been sent in." Fang Hong smiled and said, "Is he the Zhao Xing you brought from Nanyang County?"

"Yes." Chen Shijie said, "Hurry up and meet Fang Bo."

"I'm Zhao Xing from Gucheng, nice to meet you, Lord Fang." Zhao Xing saluted. Before coming, he also learned that this Fang Hong was the head of the armory.

"Everything is ready for you." Fang Hong smiled and asked someone to bring a box. "The standard configuration of the ninth-rank minister of agriculture is all here."

Zhao Xing opened the box and checked each item one by one.

In addition to the familiar almanac and bamboo box, there are four new items of equipment.

【Golden Straw Raincoat】

[Quality: Third-grade superior]

[Effect: The robe made of five elements materials can ward off water and fire, block sharp objects, and enhance the perception of earth veins.]

The golden straw raincoat is named because of the bright yellow color of its woven material.

The five elements material includes gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It has the functions of repelling water, insulating heat, and being resistant to knife and sword attacks. It can also enhance the perception of the earth veins and improve the effect of the spells of the ego faction.

【Hundred Flowers Hat】

[Quality: Third-grade superior]

[Effect: Made from hundreds of flowers and plants from the twenty-four solar terms, it can enhance all Tianshi School spells.]

【Cloud Raindrops】

[Quality: Fourth-level inferior]

【Effect: Can collect a large amount of rain and cloud. 】

【Cloud-stepping boots】

[Quality: Third-grade superior]

[Effect: Soar into the clouds and move through the fog]

The Cloud-Walking Boots allow Si Nong to fly short distances. When using the treasure, a cloud of mist will rise from under his feet.

Not only can it fly, but when it encounters danger, the clouds and fog can also block the enemy's vision.

Zhao Xing was not unfamiliar with the four new pieces of equipment, so he just took a quick look at them and put them into the Wenzhu box.

The new Wenzhu box is also a third-grade top-quality treasure.

In addition to the function of constant temperature storage, its internal space can also expand to a certain extent. It appears to be only half the size of a person, but in fact, if it is stuffed hard, it can be three meters high and two meters wide.

In addition, there are inscriptions of craftsmanship arrays on the four sides of the Wenzhu box, which can help the wearer reduce the weight.

"How is it? Do you need some time to get familiar with it?" Chen Shijie asked.

"No need." Zhao Xing quickly put the things into the bamboo box. "When does the training start?"

"Starting from the You hour on March 1st." said Chen Shijie.

"Today is March 1st, and it's already noon." Zhao Xing looked around in surprise, "We haven't reached the Ten Sun Cave Heaven yet, right?"

"No, but the training starts from the base outside the cave." Chen Shijie explained, "We can only send you outside. Entering the cave, including finding the training camp, is part of the military agriculture training regulations."

"We came from Nanyang County quite late. You only have two hours to look at the small map." Chen Shijie took out a map and handed it to Zhao Xing. "When the hour of You arrives, you and all the officers participating in the training in the nine garrisons will enter the Ten Sun Cave Heaven together."

"You have to find the Sinong Supervisor in the cave yourself and report to him."

"The environment inside Shiyang Cave is complex. Here is a booklet that records the topographical features of Shiyang Cave, as well as special astronomical phenomena."

Zhao Xing nodded: "I'll watch it now, you continue."

Chen Shijie continued: "In order to motivate the various armies, the military has set up point rewards for officers who participate in the training."

"For example, this time, the officer from each army who participates in the military agriculture training and arrives at the Agriculture Bureau first will be awarded 10,000 points."

"So many?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised. He knew that there were rewards for training in the military, but the rewards from Shiyang Cave were too much. Ten thousand for the first place?
You have to know that points are very valuable in the army, and a fourth-tier treasure is only worth two to three thousand points each.

Just being the first to report can get you 10,000 points?
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Shiyang Cave Heaven is a new cave heaven in the military world. In addition to being used as a training ground for garrisons, each army also has the task of exploring and developing it."

"If you don't give me more, how can I have the energy to work?"

"To be honest, there are some areas in the Ten Sun Cave Heaven where I would rather fight with the barbarians for three days and three nights than stay inside for half a day."

Why is Shiyang Cave Heaven called Shiyang Cave Heaven? That is because there are ten magical beings similar to the "sun" in this small world!

In some places it's so hot that people can die. If the rewards aren't higher in such extreme environments, no one would be willing to do this kind of work.

Of course, Zhao Xing is just a 'new recruit' now, and the exploration missions in cruel and extreme areas are not yet the turn of these reservists.

"With nine garrisons, how many soldiers are there in the reserve army?" Zhao Xing didn't even raise his head, still reading.

"The reserve army has relatively few soldiers. The nine garrisons have about 10,000 soldiers in total."

"..."

That’s quite a lot, okay?
"Not all reservists can eventually become military ministers," Chen Shijie said. "If after this round of training, the military thinks you are not suitable, you will not be allowed to take the position of military minister."

"According to convention, only about one in ten people can be granted a position, and the rest can only wait and see in the coming year."

…………

Two hours passed quickly, and it was almost the hour of You.

Zhao Xing followed Chen Shijie and Long Xiao, and boarded the Liuyun flying boat to the sky above the huge lake.

"Can you lower it a little? Don't be afraid that he is afraid of heights." Long Xiao said to Chen Shijie.

"I'm not afraid of heights." Zhao Xing said.

"Don't close your eyes when you jump down. After you fall into the lake, you will be in the Ten Sun Cave Heaven. You must use the Cloud-Stepping Boots to stabilize your body as soon as possible." Chen Shijie said. "Quickly adapting to unfamiliar environments is the basic quality of military agriculture."

"I understand." Zhao Xing licked his lips, a little excited. This was much more exciting than the assessment in Gucheng, and there were so many people together.

"Hmm? Do you think those are the two bastards we met at Fire Pond No. 9?" Long Xiao suddenly looked in one direction. "Are they here to see someone off, too?"

Not far away, there was also a floating flying boat, and two men and one woman were standing next to Helian Lie and Li Xiu.

　My schedule is reversed, which is a bit difficult to bear.
