Chapter 6: Teachings in the Temple
There are innumerable farming techniques, which can be divided into three categories based on school of thought.

That is: the timing faction, the geographical location faction, and the self faction.

The main idea of ​​the Tianshi School is "know the time, determine the time, and change the time."

They believe that the most important condition for plant growth is weather.

In ancient times, Xuanhuang Continent experienced an 'Age of Natural Disasters', during which the celestial phenomena were extremely unstable.

Four seasons can be experienced in one day, and everything changes dramatically in one year.

Until now, there are still many places on the Xuanhuang Continent that experience this kind of chaotic celestial phenomena.

For example, there are mountains that are always burning with flames and seas of ice that never thaw.

In some places, the sun is scorching in the morning, enough to melt gold and iron, but at night the water turns into ice and freezes people into zombies.

Some places are not so extreme, but there are also situations of 'disorder of the four seasons' and 'reversal of the solar terms'.

Therefore, the "Tianshi School" of farmers believes that the direction of magic research is to know the weather, change the weather, determine the weather, and create a stable farming environment for local people.

The most famous book of magic is "The Solar Terms Order".

After practicing, one can regulate the celestial phenomena and determine the local solar terms. The magic spells in it all revolve around this idea.

The core idea of ​​the Geographical Advantage School is that the weather cannot be reversed and the celestial phenomena cannot be changed. If you have the energy, you might as well think about how to improve the cold and miserable place into a Feng Shui treasure land.

With this as the foundation, plants are planted, and under the dual influence of the terrain and plants, they slowly extend outward, expanding their adaptive living environment.

As long as the soil is improved to be fertile enough, the plants can bloom and bear fruit even in the worst weather.

Little did we know that delicate snow lotus can also bloom on icebergs!

The classic secrets of the Dili School include "Hou Tu Gui Yuan Method" and "Dizang Yuan Men Zhen". This school is good at using tools and magic arrays and is very close to workers.

As for the 'egoists', they say you are all garbage.

All the favorable conditions, such as time and place, are external things. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong!

The Self School believes that plants themselves are a kind of miracle, full of strong vitality and able to adapt to all environments.

Collect rare flowers and plants, sacred trees and branches from all over the world, select the best ones to cultivate, and repeat this for several generations. Then you will get seeds that are strong enough to resist all external factors.

The Ego School believes that magic should develop in the direction of "growing plants stronger and stronger."

The most famous book is "The Growth Chart of All Things"

"In this period, the school of time is in vogue and occupies the mainstream thought, while the school of location and the school of self can only take a back seat."

"We have to wait until the revival version for these two schools to have the chance to shine. There will even be void seeds that take root in the void, and magical soil that can transform plants into several levels." On the way to the temple, Zhao Xing had already decided on his current main direction of cultivation.

The main reason is that he doesn't have the conditions to follow the path of geographical advantage or ego.

"My mobility is too weak now. If I have the ability to travel far in the future, I can look for some treasures of this era, such as the Lava Fire Lotus, the Bloodthirsty Vine, and the parasitic species and alien species preserved in several ancient tombs."

"As for now...whatever happens, that's it."

Gucheng Temple is a county-level temple.

The statues inside are not some illusory legendary gods. A small number of them are famous figures in history, and most of them are deceased civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some of them were carried into the Great Zhou Temple because of their bravery and good fighting skills during their lifetime, or because they benefited the people during their governance.

Among them, the largest number of civil officials and military generals were from the Taizu Dynasty.

For example, the main hall that Zhao Xing sees now is dedicated to the "Donghu Bo" of the Taizu period.

Born in Donghu Lake, Gucheng, he made a living by fishing when he was young. During the period when Taizu conquered thousands of countries and unified the chaotic world, he joined the army of Zhao Gong and became a chariot driver. He was finally granted the title of Donghu Bo.

After returning to his hometown, he spent all his wealth to build bridges and roads, transform his hometown, and voluntarily gave up most of his land to refugees for cultivation, allowing Gucheng to develop from a town to the size of a county.

After his death, he entered this temple and enjoyed incense and offerings, becoming a Yin god.

"Donghu Bo is good at martial arts. I want to learn from him, but it's not a good idea to ask him. This period is most suitable for the development of the Si Nong profession, not other professions. I have taken the Dao Embryo Pill. If he sees that I have a good foundation and thinks I should practice martial arts, and I get some martial arts secret manual randomly, it would be a waste of time."

Zhao Xing did not enter the hall. He just lit incense and worshipped in front of the copper burner outside, then prepared to leave.

"Boom!"

In the temple of Donghu Bo, the bronze bell rang automatically, carrying a strong message that was clearly transmitted into Zhao Xing's mind, as if it was trying to keep him, or persuading him not to leave.

Zhao Xing's face froze, but he never thought that his worship across the hall would cause trouble. The Lord of Donghu actually appeared in spirit and took the initiative to keep him?

Dao Embryo Pill is really so awesome... Zhao Xing bowed again, quickened his pace and ran away.

"Hey."

After Zhao Xing left, the statue let out a faint sigh.

The temple master who was meditating in the hall looked outside the door with some confusion, but found that there was no one there.

He looked up at the statue again, but received no revelation, so he just scratched his head and continued meditating.

After this incident, Zhao Xing no longer dared to worship casually.

He quickened his pace and arrived at a side hall - Caoxi Zhenjun Hall.

"Cao Xi, in the early days of the founding of the country, was the magistrate of Nanyang County. He was classified as an outstanding figure of the agricultural land faction because he vigorously promoted the 'Guiyuan Waterwheel' of the Gong family and built the Pinghu Thirteen Canals, combining the Gong family's magic array to control floods."

"However, he is well versed in many schools of thought, has written the Caoxi Book of Agricultural Theory, and is a practical man. It shouldn't be a mistake to worship him."

"It's you, old man."

Zhao Xing handed the county government's reply document to the guarding palace master of ceremonies, who was a position in the Ministry of Rites. He was in charge of the process of sacrificial rituals.

It is what players call the "Fuji" profession, and is an early "priesthood" because this profession can invite gods to possess the body and summon evil spirits to fight.

Once upon a time, Zhao Xing also wanted to change its job to have some fun, but with the collapse of the Fortune Dynasty, its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. It was extremely difficult and complicated to become stronger in the revival version, so he had to give up.

Now it is even more impossible for him to give up the profession of Si Nong and choose this early priesthood just for the sake of momentary pleasure.

"The paperwork is fine. After you enter, just sit cross-legged on the cushion and pray quietly." The master of ceremonies guarding the hall was young, but he looked very experienced: "Remember, the law cannot be forced. If you gain something, you are lucky. If you don't gain anything, it proves that you are not strong enough. You can come back next time. Don't have any distracting thoughts."

This was to remind Zhao Xing that if he failed to seek the Dharma, he should not develop any obsessions or resentments, because the Yin spirit is very sensitive to thoughts related to itself.

"Yes, thank you, Master of Ceremonies." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and stepped into the Caoxi Zhenjun Palace.
