Chapter 2 Wake up
"Bolu..."
"Damn!" Feng Xue woke up from her sleep with cold sweat. Her first reaction was to open the character panel and confirm that there was no record of dark and light shots, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...it's just a dream..."
Feng Xue muttered, wiped away the cold sweat from her head. Although she had lived for seventeen years in this life, she would still be awakened from time to time by the sound of the dice turning in her dreams.
"It's another peaceful day." Feng Xue looked at the white fish belly that had just turned out of the window, and simply got up and shook the bell. Then, a maid came from the compartment to help him dress and wash.
Unlike the Western historical facts where most nobles use male servants and female servants, in the context of planting flowers, both male and female nobles use maids. The reason is actually very simple.
Most male nobles in the flower planting family have been equipped with personal maids or girls called Tongfang from their development and maids, responsible for enlightenment and education for the male master. At the same time, the bedroom is also connected to the male master, which is convenient for serving at night. This means that when you wake up in the morning, there may be a girl lying on the bed of the male master (even serving), so it is natural that the male servant is not allowed to enter the back house.
As for the bed, he always calls a maid... It's not that he is arrogant, but that he is so rules. If he does everything himself, it will make the servant think you are weak and can be bullied.
You have to do something if you take a penny, at least that's what Feng Xue thinks.
After wearing a slightly complicated dress, Feng Xue walked to the study, picked up a pen, and continued to copy the book "Barefoot Doctor Manual" that had only copied one-third of the book.
This is the knowledge he unlocked after reaching 26 in medicine. He copied it and copied it to 27 in medicine, but this book has not been completed.
This copy took half an hour. I originally planned to copy it until noon, but the maid reminded me:
"Young Master, today is the day to worship Shennong, and you must prepare early."
"I understand." Feng Xue's expression was immediately stiff when she heard the sacrifice to Shennong. If you want to say that one day he is most afraid of in this life, it must be today every year.
However, sacrifices are a major national event in this era. If an ordinary citizen is not allowed, it would be fine if there is one or two. However, Feng Xue is also a royal family. Although it is just a branch, it also represents the face of the royal family. If he dares to abstain from the sacrifice, Wu Zhu will dare to hang him on the flagpole to sacrifice to the sky tomorrow.
Let’s not talk about him, even the princes and ministers in the imperial capital, wouldn’t it be said that they would sacrifice to heaven?
Wearing a green dress that is more complex than the complex home clothes, Feng Xue took a ox cart to the public field outside Sheyang County. His village is only more than ten miles away from Sheyang County, and it only took half an hour to make a ox cart. Not to mention that the ox cart was born in the Shang Dynasty, this is a mythical world. Feng Xue is a time traveler, understand?
The ox cart slowly drove out of the farm, and the farmland planted with various grains immediately came into view.
Compared with Feng Xue, the people's enthusiasm for the activity of worshiping Shennong can be said to be quite high. When the ox cart arrives at the public field, there are already crowds of people here.
This is not an exaggeration. After all, at this time, more than 80% of Sheyang County's population were gathered here.
Don’t ask why there were 100,000 people in remote counties in the Xia Dynasty. Ask it is the mythical era.
"Young Master Xu is here!" Seeing the ox cart, a sound immediately came from the crowd, followed by noise, and even various fruits and jerky were thrown into the cart.
Seeing this, Feng Xue knew something was wrong, so she quickly stopped the ox cart, got out of the car with the help of her servant, and then bowed to his nominal brother, Xu Qing, the lord of Sheyang County, who is also the main lineage of the royal family of Xu Kingdom, who is ten years older than him.
Xu Qing's face was not good at this time, because compared to Feng Xue, he, the county marquis, seemed like a transparent person, but there was no way. Since he obtained this fiefdom, he had no political achievements. On the contrary, Feng Xue could occasionally spread one or two convenient inventions or strategies for land management. Recently, I heard that he was still working on high-yield and good varieties, and the people could naturally distinguish which one is more important.
However, no matter how jealous he is, Xu Qing can recognize the form clearly. Feng Xue is just a branch of the Xu family, and she is not even able to compare with her main vein. She cannot threaten her identity no matter what. After the inventions he made will be his political achievements in Sheyang County. On the other hand, if he really makes things difficult for him everywhere, he will inevitably gain a reputation of being jealous of the virtuous and jealous of the talents.
Therefore, even if the people who are jealous of Feng Xue in their hearts, he still has to spoil this clan brother.
After a few brothers and brothers, the two came to the sacrificial platform and waited for the ceremony to begin. After another half a minute, Wu Zhu looked at the timed corona, lit incense and candles respectfully, and invited three animals, five grains and several common herbs to be placed in front of Shennong statues. Everyone lined up according to class, high and low, old and young, and then the master spoke:
"Word to Shennong!"
Three bows and nine bows, burning incense and praying for blessings, the whole process is not very troublesome, nor is it too much to waste people and money. It only carries the simple hope of the people for a good harvest in the year. However, after worshiping Shennong, the emcee continued to shout—
"Blessed by Jiang Cheng!"
When the people heard this, they did not hesitate at all. They skillfully sat at a boy on the left side of Shennong statue, which was a big worshiper. The boy looked exquisitely carved, but if modern people saw it, they would inevitably want to laugh. It was nothing more, just because the boy's posture was too funny.
I saw him sitting upright on the toilet, with a very solemn expression. He held a handful of wheat ears in his left hand and a curved plow in his right hand. It was so funny and weird. If this statue was made during archaeological excavations, it would probably be regarded as a prank, right?
But there is no way. The statues of gods are so simple these days. Most of them will invent the most outstanding contributions of the carving people in their lives. They are like Shennong's statues. They are also herbs in his left hand and plows in his right hand? And this boy Jiang Cheng's life contribution is this farming, the crooked plow, and the toilet that facilitates the collection of fertilizers. Feng Xue even suspected that if the statue had not been limited in shape, they would even carve a septic tank...
After the civilians worshipped Jiang Cheng, a power of incense fell on Feng Xue. The incense was not limited to Sheyang County, but gathered from every corner of the land ruled by the human race. Feng Xue seemed to have been used to this, but just sighed slightly and forced the helplessness to take the lead in completing the ceremony.
This Jiang Cheng is naturally the third life that Feng Xue has traveled through time, which has been more than two thousand years ago. The statue sitting on the toilet is also the source of Feng Xue’s embarrassment. Although he should be calm after more than ten years of embarrassment, the incense that falls from the sky every year has forced him to admit that the guy sitting on the toilet is himself...
However, don’t underestimate this little Jiang Cheng. In the human race today, he is second only to the human ancestor Nuwa and the sacrificial target of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Don’t think it’s strange, the beliefs of the people are so simple. When Feng Xue was still Jiang Cheng, she decided on a series of standardized agricultural regulations including seedling cultivation, fertilization, irrigation, and harvesting, and invented the method of flex plowing and fertilization, which directly changed the state of slash-and-burn farming in the human race. For the way of heaven, it may be just a small merit, but for the human race, it is a life-saving grace.
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng's time was not opened and he could not become a god. Later, he died because of the dragon. Even the farming strategy and invention of the sage were already sages. Shennong, who had already become a sage, got the inspiration of the agricultural path and taught the world on his behalf, so naturally he could not enter the Fire Cloud Cave.
This human incense is not as good as the heavenly merits and cannot be used as a mortal body. Unless he has the opportunity to enter the heavenly court, or is accepted by the Huoyun Cave after experiencing enough hardships, he can enjoy this incense bonus.
In contrast, although his fourth generation Shi Qing, who had obtained papermaking in papermaking in 800 years ago (only speaking, merit refers to the merits of heaven) was a little more than Jiang Cheng, and even accompanied by spiritual treasures, the incense was not obvious. After all, the human race had nothing to read at all!
Speaking of this spiritual treasure, Feng Xue felt a pain again. Thinking of the white paper that was stolen before the page was warmed up, even though she had already reincarnated, Feng Xue's heart still felt ache.
Fortunately, this spiritual treasure was made of Feng Xue, and it has a natural connection with Feng Xue's soul. You can tell where it is when you narrow your eyes. If it is within a hundred meters apart, even if it has been sacrificed by human souls, you can fly back to your hands with just a thought.
But Feng Xue is just a mortal now, how dare she compete with monks for treasures?
…………………………………………………………………………………
ps: Merits are divided into the merits of heaven and the merits of human nature.
As the name suggests, the merits of the way of heaven come from the way of heaven. This thing is directly given by the way of heaven, that is, traditional merits. They can be attached to the "first thing" and turn into merit spiritual treasures, which can also help merits become saints and achieve the golden body of merit.
The merits of human nature originate from the human race and are a special system built by Fuxi. Simply put, it will be helpful to the human race and will be of little use. It will only be protected by the human race's luck. If you want to hurt the non-human race, you have to consider it. In addition, it will also make those monks and the underworld be more polite when they see you, but after they die, they can easily become the underworld by relying on merit.
In addition, there is also the incense of the Shinto, which is even less valuable. Simply put, it is the incense vows generated by the worship of the people. This thing is useless to hold by living people. Only after death can it be used as hard currency. It can not only be used as money in public institutions such as the underworld, heaven and other institutions, but also refine magic weapons and practice the magical powers of the Shinto. If you can collect the incense of the entire clan like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, you are qualified to become a sage near the Fire Cloud Cave.
